Update: after upgrading to evolution-1.5.4-1 I'm able to create a NEW contact, but still unable to take the information directly from an email message. That helps a lot. And what happened to Tools->Settings->Directory-settings? Maybe it's moved into another area, but the only sign that I even have an LDAP server to query (AutoCompletion) doesn't allow me to change it. Thanks for the report, sorry I haven't had a chance to reply for so long. Have you tried this with more recent versions of Evolution? (1.5.93 is the latest in Rawhide) Actually, that was one of the last things I did before deciding that the bleeding edge wasn't someplace I wanted to be. :( These days I'm now running whatever the 'stable' version is, from the regular repos, not the rawhide/testing/etc repos, sorry. But maybe this would be a good place for a question: I want to make an LDAP server intended to be used with Evolution- could I just use the usual 'templates', or do I have to do something to ensure compatabilty? (This is no place for a reply- just mark this as a dead issue and let me know off-line. If it's still a problem, we'll go into detail and cover it completely.) Thanks! Well, if it's an Evolution problem, it probably ought to be fixed! BTW, the Tools->Settings->Directory Settings GUI was in Evo 1.4; in 1.5 it is accessible by right-clicking on the specific addressbook and selecting "Properties". Problems with editing sound like either a permissions problem, or a schema problem. Check the Properties to see what authentication method you're using. For schemas, the evolution-data-server package contains a file /usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.0/evolutionperson.schema It would be useful if you could try adding this to your server and see if things work better. This is now a non-problem; I created an LDAP from memory and got authentication going, so I'm back in the clear for the important stuff. With Redhat moving to the Netscape's Directory services, the point will become moot- now we have a mature, working standard to work towards. There won't be the desire to have the "Evolution" or the "Outlook" standards- just the Netscape (now Redhat) standard and all will be well. Let's kill this one off, and narrow the range of problems. If it's a problem in the future, we'll address it, then. Closing per comment #5. Feel free to re-open this bug if you encounter the problem again in Fedora Core 6. Sure; put a fork in it. Because of reasons like this, as well as business-specific, not need-specific decisions on the part of Redhat, I've gone to Ubuntu. See the notice of legacy-closure today for another example. Choices are now based on what Redhat's prepared to pay for, not what will keep the project going. (See also AT&T's Unix: running a good idea into the ground in only 10 years for business reasons.) I never bought the Debian "purity" argument; when I was with Redhat (from 4.0 to FC4, I might add) it didn't seem to matter. Good luck, guys. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Galeon/1.3.12 Description of problem: When an email comes in and I attempt to add the address to my book, I get a small window that says "(addressee/email address) Querying Addressbook" and it hangs there. I DO HAVE an LDAP server that I created from the LinuxJournal howto, and it may be flawed. Even so, it should time out in just a couple of moments, and not just sit there. This is probably as much my problem as it is Evolution, but not being able to add new people is kind of a serious problem. If you'll email me directly, I'll give you access to this machine and the LDAP server in question, so you can see the problem in it's native environment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.5.3-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Right click on the address of an existing email. 2.Select "Add to addressbook" 3.Window comes up, and waits. (Forever?) Actual Results: The window stays, apparently until you kill it, or lightning strikes. :> Expected Results: I would have expected it to open a small window that would also ask for other things for this person, like it usually does...but we don't get there.
