From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: My system is a FC2->FC3 upgrade. I had been running evolution 2 from http://petrix.se/evolution2. The packages were successfully upgraded with the FC3 packages. After upgrade, when I select Contacts, then my Global Address List under my Exchange account, I get the following error: Error loading addressbook. We were unable to open this addressbook. This either means you have entered an incorrect URI, or the server is unreachable. This worked fine before upgrade. I can't figure out what excactly is causing this error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-connector-2.0.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go into Contacts area. 2. Select Global Address List under Exchange account. Actual Results: Unable to open addressbook Error loading addressbook. We were unable to open this addressbook. This either means you have entered an incorrect URI, or the server is unreachable. Expected Results: I should get the addressbook search screen. Additional info:
Having the same problem, but mine was a clean install of FC3. FC2 worked fine. Having several issues with evolution-connector, including inability to open calendars. Note that a packet trace shows zero packets when clicking on the address book button, so it's clearly not a network issue.
BTW: Seeing a lot of this sort of thing in the stack trace: (evolution:4779): libebook-WARNING **: Can't find installed BookFactory that handles protocol 'exchange'. (evolution:4779): evolution-mail-WARNING **: couldn't get service exchange://fpineau@**MASKED**/;pf_server=**MASKED**;owa_path=/exchange;mailbox=fpineau;ad_limit=500;ad_server=**MASKED**: No provider available for protocol `exchange'
Another data point: Just looked at a co-worker's identical laptop with a fully-patched FC3 and his contacts work fine. The only thing I could think to look at was /usr/lib/libebook.so.8.0.5 and his was a different file size. I tried copying his over to mine, but it didn't make a difference. Not sure what else to look at.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
