SPAM??? > > But I need to know, when I will reinstall the system and apps, did > the fresh install of Evolution recognize my "old" account ? Or have I > have to do something ? Evolution will recognise the existing account. I've upgraded my system lots of times - new hardware, new install of OS - and all I've ever done is to copy over the same home directory and Evolution has just started up with the same configuration and content as before. It knows about and recognises data from old versions of Evolution and upgrades databases and locations automagically.

In general you can find the location of the data in the builtin help Help -> Contents -> Common other questions -> Data storage locations The tar file will not contain the cache files and the configuration settings are dumped from DCONF to a file, otherwise it is just a straight compressed tar file of the data directories. > Did Evolution have all his directories in my home/ hidden > directories?

Hi Andre, Thank for your answers No problem with disk space were the home directory is located: /dev/sdb1 777G 107G 669G 14% /home And as I anserwed to Patrick my home directory is not located on the same disk as system (I have a SSD 256 for the system and a HDD 2To for all other directories) Actually my last backup of Evolution was around 20Gio (a little more) is it possible that there is a limit ? About debugging I don't want to make you and me lost some time because I'm quite sure it's because my system is very unstable... I have Evolution on my Laptop and it's more or less the same backup/ restaured file (around 20Gio) and backup seems to work fine. I only do that if you think it will be useful for you and other devollopers.

Re: [Evolution] ***SPAM*** Re: Buckup & Restore command dont work
Hi Patrick, Thank for your answer.Yes I have already done that and on this computer my home directory is not on the same disk as system.So I will not have to format this partition. But I need to know, when I will reinstall the system and apps, did the fresh install of Evolution recognize my "old" account ? Or have I have to do something ? About the compressed tar file, what are the directory compressed ? Did Evolution have all his directories in my home/ hidden directories?

That behavior makes me wonder how much free space is left on your hard disk. Running "df -h" in a terminal window should tell you. Also, having the window disappear sounds like a potential crash. Can you start Evolution under gdb in a terminal window and get us a stacktrace when/if it crashes? That will not include debug symbols by default, so you have to either install or compile debug symbols. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/Bugzilla/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

[Evolution] Buckup & Restore command dont work
Hi all, Context: I have had a bad crash on my main computer (probably due to Amarok, not Evolution). Result of this crash is a very instable system, return to English language without possibiliy to reset French language and some annoying error like impossibility to save an attached file receveid in a mail. Ok, I have search for week on the web some tips to fix there and seems worse than I have imagine. So, I have to reinstall my system... This is an OpenSuse Tumbleweed with KDE desktop on a classic tower machine, nothing exotic... But before to do that I want to make some backup, ok with documents and anyelses stuffs. This morning, I try to backup Evolution with the file->Backup command and ... don't work Precisely I got the first dialog (name of the archive and location to save), push ok button and have the second dialog (where you can choice to restart or not Evolution when backup is finished ) and here when I clic GO the dialog disappear and nothing is running... I'm quite sure is it not a bug with Evolution but probably due to my system instability Question : I need to know if it's possible to backup entirely my Evolution mail, datas and configuration in another way ? like command line ??? Thank you very much for help and apologize about my English that is named Frenglish... ;-)) Regards Philippe -- --- Dr Philippe Pès - SAMU 44 - CHU de NANTES E-Mail : p...@club-internet.fr Collaborateur SAMU de FRANCE : http://www.samu-de-france.fr/ Collaborateur SFMU : http://www.sfmu.org (La médecine d'urgence) Webmaster du CMUPL : http://www.cmupl.org L'échographie pour l'urgentiste : http://www.winfocus-france.org Corsicaria 2003 : http://www.corsicaria.org (Meeting aérien à Ajaccio) Afin de contribuer au respect de l'environnement, merci de n'imprimer ce mail qu'en cas de nécessité ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
