evolution will not open links in email

[towerhill]

Binary package hint: evolution

Upgraded from intrepid to jaunty.

Since then clicking on links in evolution fails with error :

"Could not open link, Operation not supported".

I have reinstalled gvfs with no joy.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
 * Do you have a default email client configured in GNOME?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Don't know - this is my main work machine so can't roll back and play.

This happened the 1st time I used evolution after installing 9.04

> * Do you have a default email client configured in GNOME?

Yes - evolution and firefox is default web browser.

cheers

As requested - I'd just clicked on the link to this post.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you get the issue on http urls too?

Yes any URL:

 - http://
 - ftp://
 - mailto://
 - gopher:// (only joking - not tried this for a while)

Also just noticed that cant connect to "Computer" and "Network" in the
"places menu. Could this be related.

cheers

it seems your gvfs installation is screwed, could you run those commands:

- dpkg -l | grep gvfs
- ldd /usr/lib/gvfsd
- ldd /usr/lib/libgvfscommon.so.0.0.0

and copy those to the bug?

[towerhill (amottershead)]

the second command was meant to be "ldd /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd"

you have non ubuntu versions installed which take over the ubuntu library that's your issue and not an ubuntu bug

[Dragisa Krsmanovic (dragishak)]

Same thing here. After upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 links in Evolution don't work.

[newuser (16b)]

same problem. Upgraded 8.10 to 9.04.

Some idea?

don't install random library using make install on a distribution if you don't want to have it broken? you can clean those installs you did and which are causing the bug

[newuser (16b)]

@Sebastien: sorry, but I don't understand: why I haven't to install glib? I followed the standard install procedure:
./configure
make
sudo make install

It's like to upgrade (althought I did it to solve a problem with amsn (farsight) ). If this install created problems I think this is an ubuntu bug :)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

> but I don't understand: why I haven't to install glib?

you do what you want you are free to break your system but don't open bugs against ubuntu then, there is a glib coming with ubuntu and some software need a version recent enough to work, your make install is taking over the ubuntu version but is older and create the issue

[newuser (16b)]

@Sebastien: I uninstalled my glib and now it works!
:)

[TDJACR (thedjatclubrock)]

I too have the same problem on a machine running Jaunty. I have not compiled any custom software, just used apt.

When I try to open some sites, it fails if the email consists of radio button links. When I try to open a standard link, it succeeds.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

don't reopen closed bugs, open a new one rather
