I have already mentioned my | experiences with evolution: | http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1152207+0+archive/2004/freebsd-gnome/20041114.freebsd-gnome | | I just want to add that, following the suggestions I read | somewhere else, I tried to see if I got some debugging | output by setting these variables before running evolution: | CAMEL_DEBUG=all | CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 | GROUPWISE_DEBUG=1 | DE2K_DEBUG=1 (or 2, 3, 4, 5) | | However in all cases, there is no output. As I said before, | evolution runs in the background, no messages appear and no | window ever opens. | | Thus I've set myself to try and somehow get some insight | into what's going on. I then tried truss(1): | | truss -o /scratch/fernan/evolution.truss /usr/X11R6/bin/evolution | | and watched the output using 'tail -f /scratch/fernan/evolution.truss' | | a lot of output is produced rapidly, and then it stops. All | of this output is collected here: | http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/evolution.1.truss | | then, after some long minutes, I hit Ctrl-C and finished | collecting a few more lines: | http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/evolution.2.truss | | I don't know what this means but it doesn't seem to stop at | the same exact line every time. It is stopping around line | 10240 ... but the context lines are not exactly identical. | | This is from another truss run: | http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/evolution.1.truss2 | http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/evolution.2.truss2 | | But, I'm not a programmer, thus this doesn't mean a lot to me. I | collected this info in case it is useful to someone more | knowledgeable than me :) | | Do you see anything particularly telling? Yes, you have multiple versions of glib, gtk+, and pango linked into Evolution. You did not do the upgrade to GNOME 2.8 properly. | | Now I've found that gdesklets is showing a similar | behaviour. Namely it does nothing when you click on it's | launcher icon (you see a cursor watch for some time ... then | the cursor arrow again). This time, though, when run in the | command line, some output appears, though I'm not sure if | it's related or not with the problem, | | [fernan@pi] gdesklets | /usr/X11R6/bin/gdesklets:65: DeprecationWarning: the 'argc' parameter is optional and deprecated | client.set_restart_command(1, [sys.argv[0]]) | gDesklets 0.26.2 | Copyright (C) 2003, 2004 The gDesklets Team | | This software is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL. | | /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:90: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.mainloop is deprecated, use gtk.main instead | self.warn(message, DeprecationWarning) | | | If needed I can also truss gdesklets. I'm running | FreeBSD-4.10-RELEASE-p3. And following is the list of what I | have installed. | | I'll appreciate if you can give me some clue. If you don't | know the solution please guide me as to what you think might | be at fault: evolution, gnome?, my system? These evolution problems only seem to be happening on your machine. Evo works just fine for me on 4.X, 5.X, and 6.X. What I recommend you do is: portupgrade -afu This will run for a very long time, but when it's done, you should be okay. | | Should I send a PR with this? Definitely not.
