libbonobo upgrade problem

[Norman Nunn]

After using up2date for libbonobo-2.6.2-1 and libbonobo-devel-2.6.2-1
upgrade, I immediately had a problem running evolution.  My mail box
would not display.

Situation was corrected after replacing those updates with the older
package off the installation disk.

I can confirm this. Should go into a bugzilla entry.

So you launcehd Evo and got a dialog box ? -

Cannot activate component
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent :
The error from the activation system is:
Unknown CORBA exception id:
'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'

I rebooted, and everything works. But of course, it
should have not have given such grief!

Same here.  telnit 3; telinit 5 did not fix things, a full reboot did.

Confirmed on both my and my parent's systems as well (3 total). A full
reboot required in each case. That bugzilla ticket should probably be
updated. I'm not sure if a full reboot is a work-around of a fix...

Cheers,

Just added your confirmation as comment to the bugzilla entry.

There is a no-reboot work-around:

This will "cleanly" kill Evolution and everything using Bonobo:
  /usr/libexec/evolution/1.?/killev
  /usr/bin/bonobo-slay

Also, gdmgreeter seemed to have a problem with the libbonobo update.
When I logged out of GNOME to straighten out Evolution I never got a
graphical login dialog; X restarted and came up to a blank blue screen.
gdmgreeter was using 100% CPU.  To get GDM straightened out I ran:
  sudo killall -KILL gdmgreeter
  sudo killall -KILL gdm-binary

When faced with bonobo problems I normally logout of GNOME entirely and
run the following from a TTY (_only_ as my normal user):
  kill -KILL -1
  rm -Rf /tmp/

I'm not entirely certainly how the bonobo problem could be avoided.  You
basically have to logout and then, like your bugzilla comment stated,
kill everything that uses the old version of bonobo.  Seems tricky at
best to automate the process.
