Description Peter H. Jones 2015-06-16 14:09:01 UTC

Description of problem:
I backed up a calendar file from an fc20 system. When I restored to an fc22 system, evolution would not automatically restart.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.16.3-2.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
Tried only once

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generated backup file on FC20 system
2. Restored to FC22 system

Actual results:
Evolution refused to restart, saying another inactive evolution might be active.

Expected results:
Automatic restart

Additional info:
After complete system shutdown and restart, evolution works OK.

Thanks for a bug report. What did you use to backup the calendar file and what to restore it, please? Using Evolution's built-in File->Backup Evolution Data and File->Restore Evolution Data (eventually restore within the first time wizard) saves/restores everything, not only calendars.

Comment 2 Peter H. Jones 2015-06-17 09:07:30 UTC

Yes, I used File-Backup and File-Restore, as described. In both systems,
Evolution forced a shutdown of itself, with a possible restart. But restarting in the same session failed for me.

I still have the backup file, but if I provoide a copy, it would have to be treated as confidential.

That's okay, I'll generate one myself and will try to reproduce. Thanks.

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2015-06-17 14:24:52 UTC

I was able to reproduce the behaviour, even my error message is slightly different, it says:

> Cannot start Evolution.  Another Evolution instance may be unresponsive.
> System error: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager' on
> object at path /org/gnome/evolution/dataserver/SourceManager

The first line is rather informative and doesn't change at all. It's only a guess. The other two lines show the exact error message, as reported by the system, which leads to the right issue. Interestingly trying to run evolution from a command line leads to a different error, just as you reported.

In any case, I filled this upstream [1] and fixed it for the next release as well.
