The problem is a missing system-address-book in evolution. I made a fresh Natty-install on my notebook. The folder ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook was completely empty. When filling out the about-me-box, the program can't find the system-address-book and creates a temporary address-book instead. Every time calling the about-me-box, another temporary address-book will be created. Starting evolution and open the address-book should create a system-address-book. But it seems that evolution don't create it if the folder is not empty.
My solution is to remove all content in the folder using the command rm -R ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/* ATTENTION: all address-books will be deleted. You should save it before executing the command. Start evolution and open the address-book. A new subfolder named system should appear and now about-me is able to store the user-content in the correct database. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773063 Title: [Natty] gnome-about-me box doesn't remember contents -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
