That’s exactly what I needed, thanks. I’ve filed a bug and added a patch here which should solve the crash: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731913 However, it doesn’t solve the problem of why your EDS local address book isn’t being found by libfolks. Do you have the folks-inspect utility installed? If so, could you please run: folks-inspect backends eds persona-stores And send through the output. If there is any private data in there which you don’t want to share, please e-mail me personally and avoid the list. Feel free to remove the persona-specific information — I only need the information about persona stores (specifically, which ones are available in the EDS backend).Thanks. The patch fails to apply to gnome-contacts-3.10.1 so I applied it manually, but then "make" fails with the errors pasted below - I've verified that without the patch it compiles without problems.
I suspect that when you applied it manually you retained the line referencing ‘local_data.margin_start’ which doesn’t exist in 3.10. You can safely delete that line and it should compile. The only thing the patch adds is the ‘if (local_store != null)’ check. The code inside it is unchanged.
"folks-inspect" throws the same error about "Failed to find primary PersonaStore…", but perhaps that's because the only contacts I have so far on this machine are in ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/contacts.db Do I need to create a primary PersonaStore and, if so, how?
If you have a system address book in EDS, that *is* your primary PersonaStore, and libfolks should be picking it up. You can’t create folks PersonaStores manually: they’re automatically picked up from various backends (such as EDS, one per address book; Telepathy, one per IM account; etc.).
BTW, if I enter "folks-inspect" and then "backends eds" I end up in the "vi" editor, what exact commands should I enter?
Looks like you’ve set your PAGER environment variable to vi. Try:
PAGER="less -FRSX" folks-inspect
and then the rest of the commands as before.
