Sorry for the nominating, Sebastien. It's rather extrange: I just do: $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install libindicate0
and now it works. I don't know why. It seems to be a hard disk failure of something similar. Thanks very much for the libindicator clue. I'll close this bugreport now. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- Evolution freezes on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
