[Evolution] Question on adding a CALDAV calendar
Hi, I have a calendar that I wanted to add into Evolution that takes the following format https://some.domain.com/caldav/st/home/mark.cur...@domain.com/calendars/MyCalendar When I input this into Evolution it always strips off the prefix https://; and changes it to caldav://, when I run evolution with the --debug option I see the error Unable to load the calendar No such calendar. However, it works fine in Mozilla Thunderbird and I can navigate to the calendar in a browser. Im running ubuntu 9.10 and performed some updates just yesterday, prior to that the last time I tried the calendar it seemed to be able to connect and retrieve. So im not sure if an update has broken it or the prefix changing is incorrect? My evolution version is 2.281 Thanks Mark ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

It all seems to work fine, except EVERY email takes 15-20+ seconds to display in the lower window. The screen says it is formatting message, and seems to take forever to show up. Every other email service I have used, including Evolution on my mini laptop (running Ubuntu) doesn't have this annoying delay. What am I missing here? How do I set this up to run smoother and faster?? Do you have any kind of remote junk checking enabled (e.g. check addresses against a remote LDAP server)? poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

For instance, I just sent out message with a 7.2mb attachment. It took 3 minutes before Evo started sending the message. If I uncheck PGP Sign it goes out immediately. I've found that this 'lag time' happens on any message with an attachment of approximately 500k. This is on Mandriva 2010, Gnome 2.28, Evolution 2.28.1. Anything to check or any ideas anyone? I guess the obvious thing to check would be how long it takes gpg to sign the attached file when called directly from the Shell. If it's fast then you could also run Evo under strace to get an idea of what it's doing. More extensive investigations would mean running under a debugger. Have you reported this to Bugzilla? poc To sign the 4.5mb file I sent with gpg from the shell it took about a second from the time I entered my passphrase. I submitted this bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604236 on 10 December, nothing was ever done with it that I can see. That's nothing. I have bug reports from over 5 years ago that never went anywhere :-) The dev's priorities are hard to predict. That said, I did a quick test and a 3.7MB file took over 2 minutes to sign on my Atom-based netbook, while running gpg from the Shell was as you say about a second. Running strace on the gpg process called from Evo shows it reading 4kb at a time into an 8kb buffer, which could well be a pipe between Evo and gpg. I note that the system constant PIPE_BUF is 4kb, even though modern Linux pipe buffers are 64kb (see man pipe(7)). However this is speculation. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

CalDAV is an HTTP protocol so changing the prefix is not an issue - it is, after all, just telling the program how to communicate with the server and so long as Evo knows what to do, then it doesn't matter. Some would probably say that caldav: is more correct than http: FWIW, it has always worked fine for me with various flavours of Fedora.

Re: [Evolution] Question on adding a CALDAV calendar
Hi All, I figured it out eventually. I had evolution's proxy set the system the system -- network proxy settings were set to the proxy I use for pidgin etc. By setting the network proxy in Evolution (edit -- preferences -- network preferences) to direct the calendar loaded up just fine. Its odd as my browser uses the same proxy for displaying the same calendar using the URL with the https prefix. I guess because evolution is using a different port number then there must be some restrictions on the proxy Thanks for all the replies so far :-) Mark 2009/12/30 Xavier Bestel xavier.bes...@free.fr On Wed, 2009-12-30 at 16:14 +0100, Kåre Fiedler Christiansen wrote: On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 12:17, Pete Biggs p...@biggs.org.uk wrote: I have a calendar that I wanted to add into Evolution that takes the following format https://some.domain.com/caldav/st/home/mark.cur...@domain.com/calendars/MyCalendar When I input this into Evolution it always strips off the prefix https://; and changes it to caldav://, when I run evolution with the --debug option I see the error Unable to load the calendar No such calendar.
