Check with "ps -ef | grep -e evolution -e syncevo". Does "syncevolution --print-databases" work? What does the latest syncevolution-log.html under ~/.cache/syncevolution say about the sync? "sudo" should not be necessary. I suspect it happens to work because it runs syncevo-http-server as root with access to your normal user's D-Bus session, and the rest of the system (EDS, syncevo-dbus-server) actually run as normal user. Please verify with the same ps command as above. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
