[Bug 34199] Re: Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but should this be resolved for 2.28.3 without having to apply the patch? That was the understanding I got from reading the thread. However, I am on Lucid Lynx using 2.28.3 and continue to have this problem. I only recently installed Ubuntu on this laptop, so I was pretty sure it started out with 2.28, but I still deleted everything in my ~/.evolution/exchange/ and ~/.evolution/mail/exchange/ folders just in case it was created initially in the old version and needed to be cleared out to have the updated version correct the issue. Unfortunately it still continues to give this error. Before I go to the trouble of compiling the source from scratch with the patch included I wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting time by doing so. -- Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upstream bugs look like a fix was included in version 2.27.5+ which is older than both Karmic and Lucid. (But not in jaunty or jaunty- updates.) So if you're still seeing this problem with a newer version, we need to know. And I'm due to try evolution again. If you need this in an older Ubuntu release, you should nominate it at the top of this bug. Not sure what happens from there, and I see it's already nominated for a couple.

[Bug 34199] Re: Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process
@mizu: thanks. Now, please check if there was a ./debian directory created under the ./evolution-exchange-2.24.1, but I think this might be more of a rethorical question... Here's the deal: when you 'apt-get source blah', 3 files are downloaded: - blah_version.orig.tar.gz - blah_version-ubuntuMod.diff.gz - blah_version-ubuntuMod.dsc 'apt-get source' will download the 3 of them, will untar the original and apply the diffs -- *iff* you have the development packages installed (at least devscripts, I think). This is important because (a) the Ubuntu install may want to put things at a slightly different place than the original upstream code; (b) we may have our own fixes to apply over the original. Let's leave aside, for a moment, the issue of the ./debian directory. What you did -- './configure --prefix=/usr --enable-maintainer-mode make make install' (and you probably meant, for the last one, 'sudo make install') will bypass *all* Ubuntu customisations (if any). So... your install *may* be a bit different from a Ubuntu install. Your install may not have any additional patches applied. And, of course, this may mean something. Or nothing. Now, going back to the ./debian: *even* if you had it created, if you did a 'make sudo make install' you would still not apply any Ubuntu fixes and changes tot he upstream source. Worse still, there is no guarateed way of backing out your local install (since it was done outside of dpkg/apt control. You can find what is being changed locally by the Ubuntu package by looking at the ./debian and the ./debian/patches directories; a similar (but more difficult to follow) way is to look at the .diff file. No matter what: if it is working as you built it, then it is something we can research, and try to find what is different.

I have done all the tricks above (I have a scipt that deletes the needed directories, files etc.. that I have used to survive for the last years...) and I have deleted my account, and re-created it using /usr/bin/exchange-connector-setup-2.22 but still have this problem One thing I haven't yet tried is to completely remove Evolution installation and then re-installl it. any advice or traces that I should take ? -- Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 34199] Re: Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process
Yeah, pretty much the same thing here. Until I updated (as in: when was using the base Hardy install) evolution I'd get a half-dozen crashes a day of the exchange connector. Since then it's been completely unusable. I can't open my inbox to even read mail now and trying to enable my calendar is a guaranteed way to kill all of evolution (as in no evolution processes are running at all anymore). I've done all the force-shutdown. force-shutdown, delete files in /tmp. force-shutdown, delete files in /tmp, blow away cache files in .evolution. force-shutdown, delete files in /tmp, blow away everything in .evolution/exchange. force-shutdown, delete files in /tmp, blow away everything in .evolution/exchange, log out. force-shutdown, delete files in /tmp, delete exchange account in evolution, log out. dance and still no joy. My next steps are: create a new user and see if evolution still barfs there or if it's something else in my environment, then roll back to the version from my Hardy cds and lock the package version assuming it still works. Other suggestions welcome, but right now this is more of a train-wreck for me than it has been in probably two years so I'm very close to just wanting to cut my losses and run. -- Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yup, me too. My previous stable evolution is now unusable with the exchange connector. This is getting really bad. -G On Thu, May 8, 2008 at 12:57 AM, cnkbrown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Same here.

Re: [Bug 34199] Re: Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process
I would have to agree, at this point in time it appears to be fixed, also the problem with mail filtering (if using the exchange connector) seems to be fixed also.

I can also confirm this bug in 8.04 final. I've already recreated my account, but this didn't help. As others already reported, evolution loses connection to the exchange backend. I can especially confirm the behavior that Enryfox described: Creating a message filter and preforming a crtl+a followed by a crtl+y - connection to exchange backend dies. cheers, a. -- Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 34199] Re: Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process
To add to what Enryfox stated. I also can confirm that the bug is in 8.04 LTS final. I've also noticed an increase in local drive activity prior to Evolution loosing connection to the backend service. Killing the trackerd process seems to help. Triggers for me are: 1.) Attempting to switch between exchange folders. Then trying to open a message in the new folder. 2.) Attempting to open a message after about 30mins from Evolution launch.

Bug confirmed and still present in ubuntu 8.04 LTS final. Connection to exchange server is lost typically within an hour of running evolution. Only way out is to close and restart evolution.

I read through the whole thread of complaints. I have not tried the various fixes, but their experiences mirror my own. I typically have to do an evolution --force-shutdown every few mail operations, or several times/hour which ever comes first. It is basically totally uselessl. I have been using linux as my desktop for about 3 years in a Windows centric company. Email is essential.

[Bug 34199] Re: Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process
This bug is probably a combination of a number of communication problems between the exchange-connector and MS Exchange servers. Before giving up on the exchange-connector, however, I think it's useful to take a look at this Novell info: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/16234.html Answering all of these questions (with some help from the people in charge of the MS Exchange server) was very helpful, in my case: * Do you have an Exchange account? (necessary) * What's the OWA URL? (necessary) * Is Outlook WebAccess with WebDav running? * What's you Exchange server hostname? (You can get this by checking your Exchange Server Setting in your Outlook client.) * What's your Global Catalog Server? (This is the server to which you're authenticating and where your Global Address List is extracted from. To get this information, you must first start nslookup, set type=srv, and enter your Exchange server hostname. The servername after the Primary Server Name is your Global Catalog Server.) * What's your Public Folder server? I had similar problems with Kontact/KMail before I switched to Evolution. However, I think I could've cleared up the problems with Kontact/KMail if I had answered the questions above (i.e. known more about the specific MS Exchange server I was connecting to). -- Evolution cannot connect to Exchange backend process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
