- @ Paul - I did the upgrade first - that sucked...then I did a fresh install. I haven't tried Thunderbird yet. I also did some digging around regarding this problem. It seems to be directly connected with the gnome keyring. There were a bunch of people who were having (or still are having) this problem in OpenSUSE a few years back on both the KDE and Gnome platform. It seems that if we can get the key manager to not handle the password things might actually work. I tried this..... I've substituted my actual email address with "myemailaddress" so a spam bot doesn't pick it up. If you do a trace, you might need to change your PID number as it may be different than mine. Not that any of this helps me because I don't understand any of it... but here it is. root@X61:/home/phil# gnome-keyring-daemon GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-2RyO07/socket SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-2RyO07/socket.ssh GNOME_KEYRING_PID=7883 root@X61:/home/phil# export GNOME_KEYRING_PID=7883 root@X61:/home/phil# evolution ** (evolution:7888): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution:7888): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed ** (evolution:7888): DEBUG: New account:
