Removed Evolution; Calendar still there?

[Mark Foster]

I switched from Evolution to Thunderbird a little while back.
However i'm still getting popup reminders (ohai Gnome) of calendar
events that were in Evolution before I nixed it.

Anyone know if there's a graceful way to nix these? When the popup
arrives, clicking 'Edit' does nothing at all.

***@hawkeye:~$ dpkg -l | grep evolution

The related question is, will removing any or all of those break
anything? Ubuntu 10.10.

hi Mark,

It's all part of evolution data server. Whether you can safely remove
it, will depend on whether the distribution has evolution-data-server as
a dependency for GNOME.

You could also try just killing the process and nuking ~/.evolution, so
that even when the process is resumed by the calender applet, it won't
have any calender content. *

(* Although I'm not sure if the calender applet will start
evolution-data-server if it's not already running)

regards,
jethro

Evolution-data-server is your problem, it is the back end which stores
calendar and contact data for Evolution so that other applications (such
as the panel calendar applet) can access it. Unfortunately, you can't
just remove the package as most of Gnome depends on it.

My advice would be to reinstall Evolution, remove the offending
calendars and then remove Evolution again.

Cheers,

Rob

Are you serious about this kind of Microsoft solution? Sure there aren't
some files to nuke under $HOME/.xxx? That would be a rather stupid
design.
