Description of problem: Evolution was installed using the Anaconda installer. When I first ran the program it worked fine. I closed it and when I tried to open it for the second time I get the following error while the splash screen is showing and 3 others similar to it: Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent : The error from the activation system is: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0' After I click on the "OK" button 4 times, I am unable to do anything in the program and it looks like it is missing all the menus and toolbars that were there previously. I tried uninstalling it, deleting the ~/Evolution/* files and reinstalling it, but I still get the same error messages when I start it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.4.6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open evolution 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I will provide any additional info upoon request, but you will likely need to give me instructions for doing it since I am relatively new to linux. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please send me a shout at redhaterrors at multiwebinc_com
Try closing Evolution, then type "killall bonobo-activation-server" at a terminal, and then try to restart Evolution. Does this help?
I was having the same issue after I updated recently. Below is a list of what I updated. I am assuming that it must have something to do with libbonobo, since "killall bonobo-activation-server" resolved the issue.
