 |
|
Good morning. After a recent update the evolution mail client no longer starts. However in spite of this a number of processes have started:
| Code: | Kryten /home/david # pgrep evolution
2354
2375
2390
2401 |
| Code: | david 2354 0.0 0.3 459536 25344 ? Sl 07:54 0:00 /usr/libexec/evolution-source-registry
david 2375 0.0 0.6 803552 53316 ? Sl 07:54 0:00 /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/evolution-alarm-notify
david 2390 0.0 0.2 882280 21632 ? Sl 07:54 0:00 /usr/libexec/evolution-calendar-factory
david 2401 0.0 0.3 732728 23808 ? Sl 07:54 0:00 /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory |
There is also this message in /var/log/messages
| Code: |
Jan 29 09:00:55 Kryten kernel: traps: evolution[7765] trap int3 ip:7f7413199827 sp:7ffe87231f90 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.8000.5[7f7413152000+9e000] |
Trying to start from the terminal produces
| Code: | david@Kryten ~ $ evolution
(evolution:8411): dbind-WARNING **: 09:24:15.525: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/134/at-spi/bus_0: Permission denied

I tried unemerging and reemerging evolution but the same thing happens. Does anyone know what might be wrong here?

Yes, I stumbled on that issue this morning too: I solved it by manually rebuilding… | Code: | | emerge -atv1 mail-client/evolution gnome-extra/evolution-ews gnome-extra/evolution-data-server |
Could also have been solved by… | Code: | | emerge -atv --keep-going @preserved-rebuild |
where I noticed the evolution-data-server in the list. So might be the only package that needs to be rebuilt.

Thank you Massimo, I tried the first command but still have the same problem, and when I then tried the second it simply said "Nothing to merge; quitting".

You already did a | Code: | | emerge -auUDtv world --keep-going |
and rebooted the system?

I have tried this too but the problem persists.

Ok I am at my wits' end. I have completely unmerged evolution, and depclean removed 70 packages (dev-ruby/loads-of-stuff), expunged everything with evolution from my home folder, then updated (nothing to do), and tried to emerge evolution from scratch (which takes ages), but the problem persists. The last update has done something sinister...or the mail-client/evolution package is broken. I will try one more time...and if it fails again I will try Thunderbird instead.

It didn't work...I have installed Thunderbird...that works. On the bright side I'll never have to compile webkit-gtk again.

Evolution is a lot more than Thunderbird can provide. It's a complete PIM suite like Kontakt or Outlook, it's for more than 10 years my daily workhorse and got absolutely important. I was also severely hit by this issue and like to understand and support why I got it fixed by a simple rebuild of evolution.
While I got this one repaired like this I still have another issue Evolution and broken webkit-gtk and also struggling with a long rebuild of the previous webkit-gtk version. So there are some issues with these new (stable) versions.

I have another almost identical installation having this similar issue now and going to investigate. I wonder about the user ID, it's not my user ID but the user ID of lightdm, the login manager before Xfce starts. Same for you?

Good morning Massimo. Yes, user 134 is lightdm. I too prefer evolution. It is the only Gnome application I use. I'd like to understand why your repair didn't work for me too. Please let me know if you do identify the problem. Thanks. And if I can supply you with more info, do ask.
