I have been trying to nut out a problem, that I am having with running Evolution, as a local application, on diskless Linux workstations, as per the ltsp setup. The email side of things works fine on either server or workstation. The main problem is with the calendar and tasks data files, evolution keeps reporting it cannot access these files. ( I can see these files from a command shell no problem and user permissions are all set ok ) I reported a bug at ximian : http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26188 Though after some more reading, it seems more to point to a daemon process called Wombat, within the evo package. This daemon completely seperates the clients (ie. evo ) from the calendar data files. Ok I thought, well lets debug Wombat, which in turns uses the gnome-vfs libraries. So I grabbed the latest source for gnome-vfs ( I am not keen on running Gnome2, just yet ) , so got version 1.0.5 of gnome-vfs. The source code has some test utilities, that looked like what I needed to get running, so I could compare results from the server ( basically, a RedHat 7.3 box ) and the diskless workstations, which have their drives mounted nfs back to the server. Server / workstations are both running kernel 2.4.18. Currently I am stuck, getting the test programs to run correctly on a standard redhat 7.3 box, ie. output from test-async program : ../test-async test-async.c Initializing gnome-libs... Initializing gnome-vfs... Creating async context... Starting open for `test-async.c'... GTK+ main loop running. Open failed: Invalid URI. GTK+ main loop finished. All done or ../test-async file://home/doug/junk1 produces the same result, 'invalid URI' These files definetly exist and I can 'cat' them no problem, from the same shell prompt. It doesn't seem to matter which file protocol I use, I get the same error message, eg. nfs, ftp, http, smb, file, ~/. Could somebody shred some light on perhaps something dumb I might be doing. All libraries are pretty much stock standard RedHat 7.3 distribution.
