Hi All I am using Evolution on a laptop with my home dir nfs mounted (rw) from another machine. Using exim and dovecot. (Can't get cyrus-imap working (yet)) All in/out mail transfers seems fine to/from the laptop. However I get the following message when trying to access my addressbook "Error loading addressbook. We were unable to open this addressbook. Please check that the path exists and that you have permission to access it." I assume the info is stored in the following files in my home directory on the nfs mount. /home/ja/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db /home/ja/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db.summary tom system 1006# file * addressbook.db:Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) addressbook.db.summary: data I can seem to create a new address book under "On This Computer" but then neither open it nor delete it from the laptop. I have, as user ja chmod -R 777 at the addressbook level I realise that it says "On This Computer" and an LDAP server could be used but that seems hard work for something seemingly straight forward. On the laptop I have Centos42 tom system 1013# rpm -qa|grep -i evolution evolution-connector-2.0.2-8.i386 evolution-data-server-devel-1.0.2-9.i386 evolution-data-server-1.0.2-9.i386 evolution-webcal-1.0.10-3.i386 evolution-devel-2.0.2-22.i386 evolution-2.0.2-22.i386 On the "server" FC3 maui.jaa.org.uk ~ 1000# rpm -qa|grep -i evolution evolution-data-server-1.0.2-3.i386 evolution-connector-2.0.2-1.i386 evolution-data-server-devel-1.0.2-3.i386 evolution-2.0.2-3.i386 evolution-devel-2.0.2-3.i386 evolution-webcal-1.0.10-1.i386 There is an evolution update available for FC3 but it jumps over the Centos42 version. I have googled around but not found anything obvious. Is there an easy way to look in the dbase to see if the problem is internal? Any advice/experiences welcome !! John
