A few weeks ago I had this problem on F8, whereby Evo would insist on starting up offline even though I had configured it to start online. I finally tracked it down to NetworkManager. At that time I was using s-c-n but NM was also running even though it didn't manage any interfaces. The upshot was that NM thought I was offline even though I wasn't, and Evo took its cue from NM instead of checking for itself. I complained about it on the Evolution list but I doubt the situation has changed since then. The fix was to surrender to the inevitable and use NM for everything. Luckily I have a simple setup so it didn't cost me anything, but YMMV. Using s-c-n and turning off NM completely might also work. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
