[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 76273] list-databases yields error "findCollections cannot allocate sync handler"

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76273 --- Comment #3 from Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de&gt; --- Looks like this code inside eas_sync_handler_new is failing: if (! eas_gdbus_client_init(&object->priv->eas_client, account_uid, &error)) { g_object_unref (object); return NULL; } Incidentally, that code fails to print the error and leaks it, which probably explains why there is no real error message. Do you run syncevolution inside a D-Bus session with DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS set? syncevolution contacts activesyncd via D-Bus, and not being able to connect to D-Bus is the only way how eas_gdbus_client_init() can fail. Indeed, I can reproduce the error when DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set and auto-launching D-Bus is impossible. https://syncevolution.org/wiki/ms-exchange-and-kde-synchronization does not call out that requirement explicitly. It's implied in that HOWTO because it assumes that Akonadi and KDE are already working, which implies D-Bus. For starting D-Bus, see for example this mail thread: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution/4568 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
