evolution 2.25.92 evolution-mapi evolution exits on mapi preferences authentication.

Hi,

I had the same problem. I marked my bug as a duplicate of this one. Here is a link to it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-mapi/+bug/346065

My bug report was generated by Apport and contains all the files that apport generates. You might want to take a look at it.

Mine seems similar too... though this is when creating a new account with the initial wizard. Same thing, filling in the values and clicking authenticate and then it crashes. Here's what's output to the terminal:

Falha de segmentação (core dumped)

Hi,
  Partial success in my case:

  I tried to rename /etc/samba/smb.conf to /etc/samba/smb.conf_OLD and evolution-mapi works quite well.
I don't use samba now. But I'm able to read my exchange emails now :)

Jaunty with evolution-mapi-0.26.1 (compiled from sources)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

I had the same problem; I tried mizu's solution, which is to disable Samba by renaming smb.conf, and evolution-mapi now works beautifully. Just FYI.

Confirming a similar failure when using a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.04 i386 Desktop.

I'm connecting to Exchange 2007. Here's the error message produced when running Evolution for the first time from the console:

I will post a back-trace when I have a moment later on.

Same problem for me; renaming / removing smb.conf did the job for me too. Is there any information I can provide that might help diagnose the problem?

I'm experiencing the same issue. When I first tried to authenticate against the Exchange server, I got an error saying "CreateProfileStore:MAPI_E_NO_ACCESS" and the program stopped responding. Subsequent attempts to authenticate are resulting in the segfault. I've installed (hopefully) all the relevant dbgsym packages and performed a backtrace.

Could somebody having the issue open the bug on http://bugzilla.gnome.org where exchange hackers will read it and can work on it? The ubuntu bug triagers have no access to exchange server

Confirm: Rename smb.conf

Confirmed rename smb.conf as well in a new installation of 9.04 i386

Renaming smb.conf got me going with Exchange 2000 on 9.04 i386. Now I need to figure out how to get my contacts, calendars, etc. working.

You need to make sure your smb.conf is correctly configured.

I got past this error by enabling wins with the and he name resolve order.

chifamba, your comment #15 seems garbled. Can you rephrase and say exactly what you did to get past this error? thanks!

A patch has been committed upstream:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=153276

Did some mad a new deb pakkage voor i386 and amd64 ?

I think I have the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/551445

@Bas van den Dikkenberg: I tried to apply the patch but it failed (chunk 2, 3 and 8)

I also tried installing samba and winbind. But that didn't help.

When I try to login with openchangclient I get the following error:
GSS Import name of <email address hidden> failed: Miscellaneous failure (see text): unable to find realm of host polly
Failed to start GENSEC client mech gssapi_krb5: NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

Maybe this helps?

OK. I resolved my problems. First I installed likewise-open.
Then I read this: http://mailman.openchange.org/pipermail/devel/2009-December/001426.html
and this: http://blogs.msexchange.org/walther/2009/08/30/exchange-2010-and-outlook-2003-clients-connection-issues/

And that fixed it. Now I'm gonna try and remove likewise and see wat hapens...

I have this same issue, I have isolated down to one line in smb.conf

security = [server,ADS,domain]

error when running evolution from command line.

exchange-mapi-connection.c:77: Entering mapi_profile_load Unknown enumerated value 'ADS' for 'security'

if you comment this line out, evolution operates fine.

Hello,
Upstream has just committed a fix for this - is there a chance we can get it before the Lucid RC is released?

Just upgraded to Lucid. Still not working.

I found a workaround for evolution not starting due to samba3 / samba4 incompatible smb.conf:

Simply start evolution as follows:
SMB_CONF_PATH=/etc/samba/smb4.conf evolution &

Then you may at your discretion supply a clean smb4.conf, or you simply leave it out.

Works for me.

The problem with the workaround in the comment above is that for some reason it doesn't make the calender component and the address book work.

So here is another stab at the problem (a very crude one as such): If you encounter the issue, it's because you use Samba 3 in a configuration that is not understood by the Samba 4 libraries linked into Evolution-MAPI. The trick is to mutilate Samba 4 to the point that it simply cannot find the incompatible Samba 3 configuration any more.

The approach below edits the affected Samba 4 binary libs such that instead of the environment variable SMB_CONFIG_PATH they interpret SMB4_DUMMY_PA and then supply that variable pointing nowhere. dpkg-divert makes the change survive package upgrades by telling dpkg to upgrade the original copy instead of the edited file. It also makes the system ignore security updates of the affected Samba 4 libs :-( That being said, here we go:

sudo su
mkdir /usr/lib/SMB4_DUMMY_PA
for lib in libdcerpc_atsvc.so.0.0.1 libdcerpc_samr.so.0.0.1 libdcerpc.so.0.0.1 libsamba-hostconfig.so.0.0.1 libndr.so.0.0.1; do
    dpkg-divert --divert /usr/lib/SMB4_DUMMY_PA/$lib --local --rename --add /usr/lib/$lib
    sed 's/SMB_CONF_PATH/SMB4_DUMMY_PA/' /usr/lib/SMB4_DUMMY_PA/$lib > /usr/lib/$lib
done
echo 'SMB4_DUMMY_PA=/etc/samba/smb4.conf' >> /etc/environment
reboot

After upgrading to maverick, I'm seeing the same errors as jedioetzi.
It was working fine in lucid.

Renaming the smb file do not solve that problem for me.

Maybe good to know:
I'm using really SECURE password with special characters (e.g.: "!)$%& and so on) I don't know if this can cause problems?!
