Evolution 3.18.5.2

Because "gpg: no running gpg-agent - starting '/usr/bin/gpg-agent'
gpg: waiting for the agent to come up ... (5s)
gpg: connection to agent established
gpg: writing to '-'
gpg: signering mislyktes: Uegnet «ioctl» for enhet
gpg: signing failed: Uegnet «ioctl» for enhet
", you may need to select different mail options.

The Norwegian parts says "signing failed: Improper ioctl for unit"

I give up. What does "some ioctl" mean? What is the actual message?
We're aren't telepathic. And once again, remember to quote your version
of Evolution.

I doubt the SElinux issue is related to Evolution, but once again we
aren't able to guess what it is if you don't tell us. There are tools
to analyze SElinux messages and tell you what's causing them. Perhaps
you should read up on them.

[Evolution] Colord/ioctl

2016-03-28 Thread Stig Roar Wangberg
I get a message in Evolution that signing fails due to some ioctl, and
SELinux is giving me a message about some colord attempt to accsess
read on this file: /etc/udev/hwdb.bin. Are these to connected somehow? 

I'm running Evolution on both Trisquel and Mint with no problems. Now
I'm in Fedora, and also want to use Evolution there too. But signing
and encryption fails due to some issues with the ioctl. About the other
message, from SELinux, I really don't know what is. I was thinking that
Evolution needs access to my gpg keys, and that Fedora (SELinux)
somehow denies it? 

What can I do about this, please.

It really does. If either side is modifying files while they're being
copied, the results are unpredictable.

Re: [Evolution] how to move mails and configs to a new machine

2016-03-28 Thread mario chiari
Hi Pete, All, 


I am writing just to report I succeeded  to move my 9.5Gb mail archive
to my new machine. Thanks for your support.


Evo's internal Export did not work, most likely because I did not have
enough free space on the old machine. 
What did work was to mount by nfs the old  directory on the new
machine, and just to copy over two directories:
/.config/evolution and /.local/share/evolution.  To copy
the latter took more than one hour. Everything was preserved: mails,
folders, accounts, filters.

Before to copy, I did try to pkill Evolution on both machines, but I am
not sure it really matters. 

Thanks
Cheers
mario
