Description David Baron 2005-02-23 11:02:22 UTC

Version:           1.7.2 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-1-686-smp

This is related to several posts.

There was a more than sporadic problem with a network addressbook being zero'd out on kde/kmail startup.

For a while, things were fine.

Now I am losing the addressbook again, consistently.

What do you mean precisely by "network addressbook"?

Comment 2 David Baron 2005-03-13 09:50:24 UTC

Lower pane "Address Books" has a checked list box. One default entry for the user will be [x] local copy.

Press Add... button
One can add a variety of address books including LDAP, file (i.e. local copy!) and "network" which is a file shared by multiple users.

I copied by address book file to a directory, set permissions and added this as the network addressbook. This file is being zeroed out.

(The only alternative, though much heavier than needed, would be LDAP, but I have yet to succede in getting LDAP going on my box.)

Hi,

not reproducable with KDE 3.4 anymore.

Ciao,
Tobias

When 3.4 is on Sid, I will certainly check it out!

The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4.
Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
