The Thunderbird contacts plugin provided by gnome-do-plugins-thunderbird-0.8.1-6.fc11.i586 fails to index any Thunderbird contacts. A generic "Thunderbird contacts" item is presented in GNOME Do, but no actual contacts are available as subitems below this. During GNOME Do startup, the following diagnostic message appears several times: Cannot index Thunderbird contacts because a System.ArgumentNullException was thrown: Argument cannot be null. Parameter name: path Presumably this helps narrow down the cause?
Same issue in F12
Created attachment 379431 [details] patch to fix the path to profiles.ini and address book FWIW, fixing this is as simple as applying the attached patch...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
As noted in comment #1, this problem still occurs under Fedora 12.
Still happening in F-13.

Problem still manifests as originally described, now under Fedora 14. Shame, really, considering that comment #2 offered a patch to fix the problem nearly a *year* ago.

However, is it correct that the plug-ins is of version 0.8.4, while gnome-do itself is 0.8.5?
(In reply to comment #12) > However, is it correct that the plug-ins is of version 0.8.4, while gnome-do > itself is 0.8.5? That is correct, as those are the latest versions of the respective packages. Oddly enough, while I can't seem to reproduce the exact same symptoms as were seen previously (I don't see the path error message), I do only see a couple of my Thunderbird contacts indexed as well. It's possible the database format or something related has changed since Fedora 12 (and AIUI the Thunderbird address book is already notoriously difficult to parse). Whatever the case, I guess there's more to fixing this bug than the applied patch. There are a couple of bug reports related to this upstream, but all in all the Thunderbird plugin doesn't seem to be actively maintained. =( I'll remove this bug from the update for now.
