Anybody know what's up with that? Are you running full cooker ? Pretty much (meaning, I might not have, say, the latest version of 'bison', but all the relevent stuff, yes). And error message would be great too.. Same error message as I posted previously (with subject Evolution 1.0.3-1mdk woes), although sometimes evolution comes up without any error but won't display anything in the right hand pane. -- Ryan T.

Re: [Cooker] evolution broken and fixed
A friend gets exactly the same error, so we'll try updating some of his packages and see if that fixes it. It looks like the current state is OK, if you have the latest libgnome stuff and also arts2. That's quite odd, seeing that aRts is a KDE component

If you did, that might have wiped out /tmp, which is what I have to do whenever evolution goes wonky. The arts thing might be a red herring. -- Ryan T.

I rebooted several times. Actually I also rebooted with a newer kernel, then switched back. And yes, I tried oaf-slay, and also runing wombat from the command line (it didn't die), and removing stuff in /tmp. Upgrading the kde sound package forced me to upgrade several other packages (althuogh the dependency on libasound made it complicated). The arts thing might be a red herring. yes, it might. If it stops working again I'll report in much more detail; I do still have the result of running strace evolution, but it's not very enlightening, except that it looks like it had an error opening a sound device, which is what prompted me to try the upgrade.
