Description Don Parris 2005-09-06 06:49:42 UTC

Evolution won't let me create new contacts - or events/notes - nothing. 
Strange!!!  I did note the warning at intial launch about this being a beta. 
But one would think it would at least let me enter data!  I did not get to try
creating a new e-mail.  It crashed when I attempted to create a new task.

Don: Are you trying to create in personal or in some server side ? Please give
us more details to debug this issue.

Nagappan, could the QA team verify this bug and provide the update since the
reporter has not got back with any additional information ?

Please start evolution-data-server and evolution from seperate consoles and 
see if there are any error/log messages printed while you try to create a 
contact/event.

I thought I had already responded to this.  I eventually did a fresh
installation, which eliminated the problem.  Unfortunately, I am unable to
determine what might have caused it.  I had attempted to create contacts (and
everything else) in the default folder(s).  The only thing I can say is that the
default, vanilla installation did not permit doing anything.  

However, re-installing the OS solved the problem.  I may have chosen some
different packages the second time around.  Perhaps there is a dependency that
someone forgot to tie up.  I just don't know.

Resolving the bug as it could not be reproduced and the reporter has replied
that the issue has been resolved at his end.
