 |
|
Okay, it's not actually an Evolution update, but one of the ebuilds updated in the last 24 hours breaks Evolution. It now crashes on launch with the following messages:
In the popup window:
| Code: | | Cannot initialize the Ximian Evolution shell: Configuration Database not found |
In the console:
| Code: | | evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot access Bonobo/ConfigDatabase on wombat: (IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0) |
Any similar problems? Anyone know how to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated. |

AAAaaaaand I just answered my own question... apparently killing any oafd processes which are running fixes this. I hope this post helps anyone running into the same problem.
Now... anyone wanna explain WHY this happened/happens? |

Kill the following processes if your evolution won't open:
oafd ( this is the one that fixed mine)
gconfd-1 or -2 ... this has been recommended by other threads on the same subject. It didn't come up in my case, because it wasn't open in my top list, but I hear that it can help.
Also, I imagine that restarting would fix this, if neither of those work, since it should just be a runaway process. Hope this helps. |

I unmerged bonobo-activation and then emerged libbonobo and now everything works fine again.
Hope you guys have the same results. |
