Don't you experience similar issues like those: -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Ralf Mardorf To: General Discussion about Arch Linux Subject: Evolution workaround needed Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2013 12:56:38 +0100 Hi :) I'm not aware what does cause this issue, but I first experienced it with Ubuntu Quantal. When I want to edit settings for Xfce4 or Evolution in Quantal I often have to delete ~/.cache, then it does work. This is a known bug, many people experience on Xubuntu user mailing list. On Arch I need(ed) to edit some settings, especially the username for a POP access of an new account. I can't change a typo, the edited username will be reset to the username with the typo, even if I delete ./cache first. I directly edited the configuration files in /home/rocketmouse/.config/evolution/sources/*(a)archlinux.source after deleting ~/.cache, but when opening Evolution, those settings are ignored, they must be archived somewhere else. There's nothing in /tmp and again, ~/.cache was deleted. The only good news is, that after deleting the cache and editing the configuration files with an editor _+ a reboot_, Evolution does use the new settings. Since I'm sharing only the mail folder by different Linux installs, I can't change the settings from another Linux. FWIW, sharing the mail folder can't cause this issue, since _Evolution_ restored the settings and mail folder from a backup, the original mail folder is in the Arch home directory and I had no access from another Linux for this new Arch install. And again, it's a known bug for Xubuntu Quantal, other people experience too, even for Xfce menu settings etc.. Any hints are welcome, since rebooting after searching and editing configuration files is a little bit to much for my taste and until now Evolution doesn't accept the password for this new account. I wonder if the displaymanager is the culprit, since before I installed $ pacman -Qi lightdm Version : 1.5.0-2 $ pacman -Qi lightdm-gtk-greeter Version : 1.5.1-2 I didn't notice any .goutputstream-* 0 byte files in ~. Those useless files are stored during shutdown/restart. At least I don't get the performance issues on Arch, that I get for Quantal. Regards, Ralf
