That's false! I have the same installation since 6.06 which I've been
upgrading up to 11.04 with no issues. The secret is to administrate like
a Debian via aptitude and not as Ubuntu proposes via update-manager ;-)

Thanks Mélodie for helping me find the fix. I'll document it in Ubuntu 
forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1830001 so any other 
with the same problem can find the solution more quickly :-)

PS: From now on, that tasks.ics file will for sure be added to my backup

Merci again for this trick, Mélodie. Of course I've already saved that 
file somewhere while I keep trying. As I don't know how to install the 
evolution data server separately, I'll try installing the whole app 
(mail and calendar will do no harm, I guess). I'll tell you and hope all 
of this can help some other people with the same or similar problem.

As far as I know, only evolution-data-server. Let us know how your tests are
going. Just : you must put a copy of that tasks.ics file you found in you
system, elsewhere. A usb pendrive for example, or another machine... also
manage to keep the attributes of the file. Do a zip, or a tarball of the
file before copying it elsewhere... this will preserve permissions and
ownership inside the archive.

I have never use mail or calendar or other apps of Evolution suite, in

Pimlico.

Must I have Evolution installed in order to Tasks to properly work, or 
just even work?

Now I'm just guessing if I install last version 0.18 or 0.19 from

Overwriting! Of course!! :-) That's a realy good and simple trick I 
didn't think about... but I don't know if it will fix my problem. 
Because after opening some times Tasks now I can see it creates a 
different subdir each time! :-(

Now I get:

/home/[username]/.local/share/evolution/tasks/1313916346.2262.0< at >[systemname]

/home/[username]/.local/share/evolution/tasks/1313943265.2207.0< at >[systemname]

and

/home/[username]/.local/share/evolution/tasks/system

which is the one that contains my lost tasks list.

I think Evolution creates a different directory with every session! :-(

I'll try to understand this before trying to overwrite with the "lost" data.

Muy bonito !

Actually the files with a name ending with "ics" can be opened with a text
editor (in Ubuntu you probably have Gedit). So open both files, compare, and
if it seems to you that it would work by replacing the new "tasks.ics" which
is in "/home/manu/.local/share/evolution/tasks/1313916346.2262.0< at >
[nameofmysystem]/" directory, you can try to copy it there.

I hope it works for you. I just installed task to see what it looks like, and
I don't see any export/import function in it. Only the ics files can be used.

Good luck ! Buena suerte ! Bonne chance ! :-)
(Don't forget to do a backup of your precious datas regularly, from now on).

Great! With that 'locate' command I found the file (wonder why nautilus 
did not). It's

/home/[user]/.local/share/evolution/tasks/system/tasks.ics

and it seems to have all the correct content and update date.

Now how could I restore it as my task file?

Just in case it can help - now I have a

/home/manu/.local/share/evolution/tasks/1313916346.2262.0< at >[nameofmysystem]/tasks.ics 


which has only initial contents and date of today.

Now I nearly have it, Mélodie! Merci beaucoup!

My freerunner currently has

contacts      0.9-1

evolution-data-server   2.30.3-2

since I have put the packages on hold since upgrading causes breakage.


No I haven't.

Why would you update your evolution-data-server ? Your's is way newer than

I was just asking if your Contacts (which is older than mine) does work with
the one version of evolution-data-server which is your's actually:

Quote "Timo":
"interestingly debian has
evolution-data-server   3.0.2.1-1
contacts      0.9-1.1"

I supposed this is what you have ? Not just Debian has it but you also ?

And have you tried contacts version 0.12 ?

I don't use the other Pimlico tools, I only need the Contacts program because
there is no other nice graphical addressbook, desktop independant and well
thought like this one, around.

That's bad ! Very bad !



It is not Ubuntu I would bet, but the update of evolution-data-server. The
same had happened to me, but I was able to restore because I have most of the
time 2 parallel installs with most of my personal data identical in each one.

Regular backups is always advised because you never know when the problems
will arise and what they will come from. :-(





If you don't find your files it means they are not there anymore. Have you
looked everywhere ? Maybe a copy is somewhere, in .Trash, or such place ?

Or as backup files ? Try this:
**************
sudo updatedb
**************
then once the prompt is back:

**************
locate task
**************

(you need to have slocate installed).

I read, of course. But I thought configurations and data could be saved

/home/[user]/.evolution/tasks/config nor under

Under .evolution directory there's no data related to my task list (I 
look at the file date to see if it could be my data file) :-(

Under .gconf/apps/evolution/ just the same: no file that could have my 
task list :-(


But how could a previous Ubuntu version find the files I cannot find 
myself? I don't understand.
