Clean install of natty x64 here. I do not use evolution. However, at each logon, the ~/.local/share/evolution folder and /addressbook, /calendar sub-directories are created if they do not exist. I must have deleted it at some point when cleaning up my home directory and had lost all the info in about me. I never had this issue on previous releases. After recreating the directory and files, then filling out the info in about me, the information appears to be retained through various sessions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773063 Title: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 773063] Re: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents
Please fix this as this is really annoying. All the info I had is now gone. I usually populate this stuff even though it's not really being used from anywhere that I can think of. But seeing it gone now reminds me of how fragile Ubuntu Linux desktops really are... It looks like every time I use some feature is broken in one way or another. Natty could be the way of the future, but breaking everything in its path is not the way.

[Bug 773063] Re: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents
Yeah, you're right. This is a pretty basic feature accessible from the default desktop.

[Bug 773063] Re: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents
I don't understand. Why wasn't this an issue before Natty? My About Me has worked in the past whether I used Evolution or not. Also, I cannot confirm Holger63's report on this fresh Natty install. There is no Evolution folder in .local/share/, so there is nothing to delete. If I do what he says, I get an Unable to open address book error every time I open About Me, and then it still doesn't save whatever you input into it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773063 Title: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 773063] Re: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents
The problem is a missing system-address-book in evolution. I made a fresh Natty-install on my notebook. The folder ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook was completely empty. When filling out the about-me-box, the program can't find the system-address-book and creates a temporary address-book instead. Every time calling the about-me-box, another temporary address-book will be created. Starting evolution and open the address-book should create a system-address-book. But it seems that evolution don't create it if the folder is not empty. My solution is to remove all content in the folder using the command rm -R ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/* ATTENTION: all address-books will be deleted. You should save it before executing the command. Start evolution and open the address-book. A new subfolder named system should appear and now about-me is able to store the user-content in the correct database. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773063 Title: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can also confirm the workaround.
