There shouldn't be any problem;  external sessions services are accessed
via D-Bus, so as long as that is working [and it hasn't been broken
anywhere I've seen in ages] and the dependencies are installed it will
just work.

None of these are error, just warnings.

Eh?  This is gentoo right?  You screwed up the build.

GConf is no longer used for URL handlers in GNOME 3.

Choosing a preferred web browser copies the browser's .desktop file
(/usr/share/applications/midori.desktop in this case, I assume) to:

   ~/.local/share/applications/preferred-web-browser.desktop

The .desktop file holds the execute command.  Probably something like:

   Exec=midori %U


Also, a useful command-line test when Evolution doesn't appear to be
opening URLs or attachments properly is:

   gvfs-open http://www.example.org/

or

   gvfs-open /path/to/saved/attachment.pdf

This is essentially all Evolution does through a library call, and what
happens next is out of its control.  So this test will isolate whether
the misbehavior is Evolution-specific or your desktop configuration.

Hope this helps,
Matthew Barnes

This is what's causing it to crash - it can't find various icon images,
then it can't even find the default/fallback image and so gives up.

[Evolution] Running evolution-3.2.2 outside of the gnome desktop?

2012-01-21 Thread walt 
Hi team.

I have an x86 (gentoo) machine where I've installed xfce4 along side
gnome3 (because IMHO gnome3 isn't ready yet) and I want to use evolution
from inside xfce4 instead.

Evolution works normally when run inside gnome3, but when run from inside
xfce4 it sits for 10 or 15 seconds and then dies with this:

$evolution

(evolution:7056): e-menu-tool-button.c-CRITICAL **: 
menu_tool_button_clone_image: assertion `image_type == GTK_IMAGE_ICON_NAME' 
failed

(evolution:7056): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET 
(widget)' failed

(evolution:7056): e-utils-WARNING **: Icon 'mail-attachment' not present in 
theme

e-utils-ERROR **: Icon 'gtk-missing-image' not present in theme
Trace/breakpoint trap

These gnome services are still running in xfce4 session:
/usr/libexec/gvfsd
/usr/libexec/gdu-notification-daemon
/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
/usr/libexec/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor
/usr/libexec/notification-daemon
/usr/libexec/gconfd-2
/usr/libexec/gvfsd-http --spawner :1.11 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/1
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets
/usr/libexec/e-calendar-factory   < xfce4 runs this for me at startup

I use ck-launch-session to start xfce4, and there are system and session
daemons running as well, just as in gnome3.

Can you see anything obviously wrong with this setup?  Evolution seems to
be trying to contact somebody or listen to a socket, maybe?  What things
should evolution normally do during the first few seconds after starting?

Even very vague hints would be most useful :)

Thanks!

[Evolution] Backing up and restoring

2012-01-21 Thread Jeffrey Needle 
Using Evolution 3.2.1.  I notice when I back up, Evolution appends the
date to the filename.  This is not a good practice for me.  I see that I
can remove this each time I do a backup, but is there a way to set
Evolution so that it stops adding this information?  Older versions
didn't do this.  Thanks.

It certainly looks OK, but you could try explicitly stating the same
path - do something like 

  gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command 
'/usr/bin/midori %s'

Beyond that, I'm afraid I don't know!  You might be better of looking on
Gnome mailing lists.

It looks like the same.

$ which midori
/usr/bin/midori
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http
 command = midori %s
 needs_terminal = false
 enabled = true

I wonder if it's possible that something got confused and there are two
versions of the browser on your system.  If you do 'which midori' and
'gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http' does it come up with
the same location for the browser on both?

Good to know.

I checked that setting and it is set to »New Tab«.

A second test I did now was to enter `midori http://example.org/` in the
terminal and in that case with an instance of Midori running a new tab
was opened in the running instance.

The last test was to open an URL from another GNOME program like GNOME
Terminal. This showed the same behavior as Evolution and therefore this
looks like a general GNOME issue.


Thanks for your quick response with suggestions,

The URL handler that Evolution uses is set as part of Gnome Preferences
and you've already said that it is set correctly.  Beyond that Evolution
doesn't know how to do anything.  I have a feeling that this is
behaviour that is set in the browser itself.  In Midori go to
Preferences -> Browsing and make sure the "Open new pages in:" is set to
"New tab".

Is the calendar under "On the Web" in the sidebar list?  If so, I
thought those calendars were, indeed, read only by design - they are
meant for displaying contents of web based iCal files, not for updating
those files.

I think that is probably the most reliable way to do it - Evolution
seems to handle Google calendars OK.

[Evolution] Evolution and Midori web browser: Links not opened in running instance

2012-01-21 Thread Paul Menzel 
Dear Evolution folks,


using Debian Sid/unstable with GNOME 3, Evolution 3.2.2 and Midori 0.4.3
having an instance of Midori running and clicking on a link/URL in a
message in Evolution, the URL is not opened in a new tab as it used to
but Midori is started again as a new separate program (new PID).

Midori is set up as my default browser in the GNOME settings.

This used to work and I think that switching from GNOME Classic to GNOME
3 is the reason. Also I have no idea what to look for to find the cause
for this behavior.

Could someone please try to reproduce that before I create a ticket for
this in the GNOME bug tracking system.


Thanks,

Paul
