[Linux-bruxelles] Evolution's Calendar problem: hidden entries

[Carlos Betancourt]

Thanks for your reply, Jerome.

The problem is solved now, however I still don't know why ;)

It was not about the Calendar view being hidden, but the entries
themselves were not being displayed. I mean, I could 'see' a daily view,
add an entry ("test appointment"), however after saving it it didn't
display on the monthly/weekly/daily view.

But it is now working, fortunately. It might have been that I
reinstalled the ipaq and synchronized (using multisync) _before_ doing
an ntpdate on the ipaq, so the dates got f*cked up in the evolution
database. The last thing I did before it was fixed was to delete the
calendar.ics so evolution correctly recreated it.

Do you know how evolution processes it's data? I mean, if I delete
'manually' an entry from ~/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics and
then start evolution, the is created back into that file. It seems that
evo uses a kind of 'journal' (as in ext3), so it doesn't lose data when
it crashes. If so, how to 'manipulate' the journal? Do you know anything
about it?

Sorry for the 'verbose' email, and thanks again for your help.
