Naim89 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) This may sound like a noobish question, but Evolution won't start. It just sits in the taskbar, saying "Starting Evolution", for about a minute, and then it disappears. I tried starting it from a console window. This was the output. [naim@localhost naim] evolution _ After one minute: [naim@localhost naim] evolution _ After two minutes: [naim@localhost naim] evolution _ After ten minutes: [naim@localhost naim] evolution _ Any ideas?

arctic Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 open a terminal and log in as root. then try to start it as root from the terminal. does it work then? if yes, it should be a permission problem. if not, there must be something else wrong on your box, which we will examine later, if needed.

Naim89 Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) Evolution starts successfully. Here is the output: [naim@localhost naim]$ su Password: [root@localhost naim]# evolution (evolution:31726): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. asked to activate component_id `OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Component:2.0' addressbook_migrate (0.0.0) account gui setup checking writable option 'auth' perms=00000040 checking writable option 'use_ssl' perms=00000010 checking writable option 'auth' perms=00000040 checking writable option 'use_ssl' perms=00000010 SCIM: im_module_init Launching a SCIM daemon with Socket FrontEnd...

Naim89 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Update: It's strange, but a reboot solved the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 probably just some stale lockfile or something. In future, try this: as your user, run /usr/lib/evolution/2.0/killev then launch it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
