[Evolution-hackers] File permissions overwritten by Evo
Could someone explain why Evolution is making strange things about file permission when saving attachments? I'm UNIX administrator, not developper, and I really don't understand why Evolution is doing differently than any other single application? Maybe there is some way to configure it to not overwrite standard umask settings? We have implemented a solution for this strange behaviour using dnotify in the kernel (after failing doing it with FAM), but it would be far better if Evo was at least configurable. Thanks and good work, guys! ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
[Evolution-hackers] Connector & RedHat 8.0
Title: Message Hi All, I am new here and have 2 questions. 1) Proxy settings in evolution for weather and news feeds. I used to set this in Nautilus and evolution would work, but now with RedHat 8.0 this does not work. Is there a way to set a proxy setting in evolution manfully or how do I get this working. 2) The connector works for RedHat 7.3, but can I use it with RedHat 8.0. I can't use the Red Carpet to download since it only has support for RH7.3, but could I just copy all connector files into the corresponding directories in RedHat 8.0 and have it work? Thank you very much and any help would be gratefully appreciated since we are trying to convert our users from Microsoft Suite/Products to Open Source. Most of my problems, I know, are from using RedHat 8.0 before there is any product support for it from Ximian. But I am trying to get ahead of the game plan here.

Seems to me we (_I_ ) have different assumptions what 1.2.X means. I was under the assumption that it starts _after_ 1.2.FCS is out.

I just want to make an aesthetic change, so I can guarantee if the feature is turned of you have the same behavior, even on byte level as without the feature. Since I will add more features, I guess I will have to maintain my own tree for a while. Just add it if you guys want to, and I and GUI "oh my". Anybody ever thought of an -ac kind of tree where we can test some "crazy" ideas/features before they go into the main tree? Ronald -- My computer works for me, I do not work for my computer.

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Strange bug?
This is actually an interesting problem, the GIOP_CONNECTION(tmp)->connection_class in ORBIT is set be a GIOP_CONNECTION_CLIENT for the Unix socket server (evolution) Therefore the connection to the server will not be opened and evolution seems to hang to the user. Anyway this is WHAT is happening, WHY I don't know yet. I will wait after Linus is back and has done the final merge before spending more time on this. But if this rings a bell with anybody, let me know why this is happening.

That's why I asked you to attach it to a bug in bugzilla, because it might be accepted as soon as we're not in freeze status. cheers -- Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Maybe you didn't run killev after upgrading? Or maybe you've got some components installed in weird places, did you install from packages? A good way of knowing the problem would be to run evolution-calendar, evolution-addressbook and evolution-mail on a terminal, and see if they show up any error message. Try that, that could give you some info on what's failing. cheers -- Rodrigo Moya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
