Did you try to manually kill the processes? ps -elf |grep evo --fb -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin(a)redhat.com [mailto:fedora-list-admin@redhat.com] On Behalf Of D Knip Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2003 1:32 PM To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com Subject: Evolution fails to open Hi: I am stuck rebooting with evolution crashing on exit and then refusing to start.

'killev' and if that doesn't work 'oaf-slay' can help with Evolution problems. But I can't comment as to why you are seeing these problems.

Attention with oaf-slay -- to misquote Bruce Willis: "oaf-slay is a broadsword" -- it will kill evolution, nautilus, ... -- whatever happens to be running at the moment that uses oaf.

Always a favourite, try killing the esd process (if it exists)... Dan

use evolution --force-shutdown to kill evolution. evolution spans other processes. Just killing evolution doesn't fix the problem. BTW - Ximian has released a newer version of evolution, 1.4.5 I think. Clifford

... which doesn't solve the problem. It is suspected that it is ORBit2 or even glibc-related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102554 Nils -- Nils Philippsen / Red Hat / nphilipp(a)redhat.com "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- B.

Not on the default path, but it still works. /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/killev -- Chris Kloiber Red Hat, Inc.

Excellent - just a symlink away from being in the path. Example: ln -s /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/killev /usr/bin/killev Works great and just in time too.

Or you can just use evolution --force-shutdown

Check bugzilla 105715 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105715 You can control it with 'killall -9 evolution-wombat' but it is a reported bug. Kevin B
