 |
|
I just emerged Evolution and when I launch it it give me this error:
error loading or saving configuration information for evolution, some of your configuration settings may not work.
I also get this same error for gnome_segv
It used to run through the setup and then crash, but now it just crashes right away.
I am really getting frustrated with evolution. |

I'm just throwing this out there, but it might have to do with your home directory's permissions. If you're running it as root you shouldn't be. If you're running it as a user make sure that user has read write execute permissions over their home directory. An example would be:
| Code: | chown -R %username%:users /home/%username%
chmod -R 777 /home/%username%
|
Keep in mind this example is not the best for security reasons; it leaves your home directory open. But none the less it could work if that's your problem.

Ok I tried that and that didn't seem to work.
Now the error I am getting says:
gtkhtml-ERROR: gconf error: Configuration server couldn't be contacted.
I am clueless now as what to do. Any other suggestions
Is there any other good software for palms? |

humm, now I'm confused. It looks like I helped you solve one problem only for you to run into another. I think the gtkhtml-ERROR doesn't have anything to do with evolution. My guess is that evolution uses the gtkhtml module for displaying html in MIME e-mails. Try this:
| Code: | emerge -C gtkhtml
emerge -C libgtkhtml
emerge gtkhtml |
Note: I'm a n00b too. I'm not sure how emerge works when you do this but it might unemerge all dependacies or something... don't know I haven't tried it. That's not a big deal per se, but it'll take a LONG time to re-emerge all you stuff back. Hope it fixes your problem
