Urza9814 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 this should explain it all: [urza9814@localhost urza9814]$ evolution Could not set mode 0700 on private per-user gnome configuration directory `/home/urza9814/.gnome2_private/': Operation not permitted [urza9814@localhost urza9814]$ None of those /.[program] folders seem to work. I get erros about them on mozilla and gimp too...any ideas? Also, I need to know how to get messages from spruce to evolution once this is fixed...

scoopy Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Don't know if this is the right thing to do, but try this via terminal while in /home: chmod 0700 gnome2_private I did something similiar when konq wasn't writing to directories on a windows drive correctly, but used 0777 instead.

Urza9814 Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 (edited) it worked! awesome! I shall have to try that with mozilla and the gimp...It won't let me save to the /.mozilla and /.[gimp?]... [edit] hmmm...they don't appear to exist...that might be a problem... :P [more edit] nevermind...it didn't work. apparently evolution just works under root...I can't do that unless I'm under root though...

tyme Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 try: chown -R urza9814:user .gnome2_private as root, then as regular user: chmod 0700 .gnome2_private Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Ok, that worked, but now I get massive permission denied errors for the config files, but I think I can figure that out. I have that with all config files for some odd reason. Some are permission denied, some are folders not existing, but I think if I just shift permissions and create the missing folders it'll work...I hope...

Urza9814 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) Not sure if I ever fixed this or not...but I got it again! Any ideas? Also, it's saying 'welcome to Evoltion' when I should already have an account set up Edited May 27, 2004 by Urza9814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 no idea if this'll help you, but - try backing up your mail and any other config. Don't do this by copying the entire evolution directory - jsut copy those files and directories. Make sure they have the right permissions on them delete the evolution directory - and uninstall evolution Re-install and start it up. Close it and copy back the backed up files into the new evolution folder Maybe the compeletely fresh start will fix some problems - maybe it won't though! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Didn't work, but I deleted the folders in tmp and that helped...now I'm down to this: file /home/urza9814/evolution/vfolders.xml contains nothing to upgrade xml file `/home/urza9814/evolution/shortcuts.xml' already upgraded file /home/urza9814/evolution/vfolders.xml contains nothing to upgrade xml file `/home/urza9814/evolution/shortcuts.xml' already upgraded evolution-shell-Message: Evolution configuration upgraded to version: 1.4.0 (evolution:18417): e-utils-WARNING **: e_config_listener_set_bool: Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 I'm mainly worried about that last line...

phunni Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Not really certain of the answer - but I might be able to point you in the right direction. I suspect that this is to do with some of the related libraries - like bonobo or something like. See if you can upgrade any of the deps...

Urza9814 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) And I would go about doing that how...? edit: nevermind...my mom gave up on Linux...made me set up Outlook Express for her again...
