[Evolution] How to look at native Linux mail msgs in Evo

2001-04-18 Thread Rupert Heesom

I've seen on the lists previously that there's a method of viewing the
native Linux mail msgs from within Evo.   I'm talking about the mail msg
text file /var/spool/mail/rupert (my user mail).

Can someone give me a quick run-down, or tell me where to find the
archive of messages containing the answer?

[Evolution] Contact in Evo 0.10

2001-04-29 Thread Rupert Heesom

I've just installed Ximian 1.4, got Evo through Red Carpet. Evo managed
to load up (which is more than others are saying!), but the NEW list of
contacts in Evo (the ones which I had to upgrade to the new database
format) now crash Evo.  I can't even view them.  I CAN view the OLD set
of contacts, but can't use them via the compose window.

Did the contacts database format of Evo change again?

 As you can see, /usr/lib/libdb.so links to a version 2 binary. 

What library file names is Evo SUPPOSED to use with the current library
version??   My lib directories are not as complicated, but are also
spread between /lib and /usr/lib.  /usr/lib was in my /etc/ld.so.conf,
/lib was not.  I added /lib into /etc/ld.so.conf, but that didn't help.
My lib directories -

How any of this ever works is a mystery.

linux libs from what I've learned work through the library
registration file /etc/ld.so.conf.  If you want libraries used, list
the directory in there, and run ldconfig (like lilo is run after
messing with the /boot directory.

Re: [Evolution] contacts are not back - ev .10 - ximian 2

2001-05-23 Thread Rupert Heesom

Hi!

I've just upgraded my Evo to evolution-0.10-ximian.2 hoping to get my
addressbook back, but still no addressbook.

My file addressbook.db looks similar to yours -

[rupert@localhost Contacts]$ file addressbook.db
addressbook.db: Berkeley DB 2.X Hash/Little Endian (Version 5, Logical
sequence number: file - 0, offset - 0, Bucket Size 4096, Overflow Point
2, Last Freed 0, Max Bucket 3, High Mask 0x3, Low Mask 0x1, Fill Factor
14, Number of Keys 0)


However, having a look at this thread, your db version is newer than
mine.  When I ask for db versions, I get the following -

[rupert@localhost Contacts]$ rpm -qa | grep '^db' 
db3-3.1.14-6
db2-2.4.14-4
db2-devel-2.4.14-4
db1-1.85-4
db1-devel-1.85-4
db3-devel-3.1.14-6
db3-utils-3.1.14-6

First of all, it looks like I've got far too many versions.  I need to
dump some of them somehow.  Next, my db3 version is 3.1.14, not your
3.1.17.  How do I go about updating this stuff???

 although the alleged version is the same. My db package is as follows
 
 $ rpm -qa | grep '^db'
 db3-3.1.17-4.6x

[Evolution] Suggestion for Evo

2001-09-18 Thread Rupert Heesom

I've noticed that the emails I put into the outbox to be flung out when
I next dial out cannot be edited.  I have to forward the msg to get any
additions put in.  

I would much appreciate the addition of an editing capability if I open
an email in the outbox.   Even if I have to use a context menu item
called edit.

BTW, is this Evolution mailing list the best place to send development
suggestions for Evolution?

Re: [Evolution] Trouble with Contacts

2001-09-20 Thread Rupert Heesom

I am having similar problems with the contacts to yourself.

I've just upgraded my Evo using Red Carpet to version -

evolution-0.13.99-snap.ximian.200109140708

I've found that when I try to scroll across the contacts window, then
the whole of Evo freezes.   In fact, within Gnome, I can't do a thing
then.  I had to go to one of the other text consoles (Ctl Alt F2 etc) to
get a command line and kill off Evo.

I have seen in Red Carpet that there is a contacts database update which
is only seen as an INSTALL not as an UPGRADE.  I wonder if this is the
cause of the problem?

I haven't installed the database upgrade (db3 or 4?), not wanting to
lose my contacts AGAIN.  Perhaps I need to install this anyway?

 Hello there everybody...
 
 Well once again I am enjoying the progression of EvolutionHowever, I
 have encountered one large problem.
 
 I have just updated via Red Carpet to CVS version
 2001.09.19.22.46Right now when I click on Contacts and then move
 back to another component (either mail, calendar, tasks, etc).  It hangs
 and freezes evolution totally in fact in the right hand corner it still
 says the number of cards that exist within Contacts.  Looking at the
 text screen I get the following error message:
 
 Evolution-shell-WARNING**:Cannot unregister component -
 OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Shell Component. 
 
  I have already tried oaf-slay and removing the addressbook.db file. If
 anybody could please offer me help that would be fantastic!!! Thank you
 very much.

Re: [Evolution] Latest Evo Snapshot and Redhat 7.1

 By the way, it was much easier to manage this stuff when we could just
 download the snapshots from the ftp site.  Then I could fairly easily
 keep track of the last working snapshot and revert if necessary.  Now I
 have to remember to copy the rpms out of the redcarpet packages
 directory - hoping to get the right version, etc.

Well, I've managed to download files straight from ftp.ximian.com,
inside the /pub tree, there's an evolution snapshot directory.

I've had my own problems with RC, so have resorted to the manual
approach a couple of times.

I think RC needs a lot of tweaking before it's a reliable app!
My main need from RC is for it to FIRST check the local redcarpet
directory for RPM files before it decides to spend ages downloading the
files over my 56k modem!  That would get around lots of circumstances I
can think of!
