Hello Geeks!

While adding account, evolution is throwing error "The name org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5 was not provided by any .service files". Also, isn't the package name should be "gnome-evolution"?

Thanks!

Can you explain the actions you took to reach that error?

No. :-)

I'm having the same problem. Here's how it happens:

1. Open Evolution. The Welcome window automatically pops up.
2. Click "Next" and go through the process of setting up your email
account. (I don't restore from a backup.)
3. At the end of that process, click "Apply". The error window appears.

It looks like Evolution is asking D-Bus about Evolution Data Server
(specifically its “Sources5” service). Unfortunately, D-Bus can’t find
this service.

It could be that you need to install “evolution-data-server” in your
profile.

However, if you are using GDM, that may not be enough. GDM starts D-Bus
in a way that makes it ignorant of services in your user profile. For
now, if you include “evolution-data-server” in the “packages” field of
your system configuration file, it should work.

For a nicer fix, we should improve the way D-Bus is started. Maybe we
should start it from a login shell, reusing “exec-from-login-shell”.

Just the "Add Account Wizard". At the final step, when I clicked "finish", that error popped up. Tried multiple time and my guix is up to date.

I added evolution-data-server to my system config, and Evolution now
finally works for the first time. Thank you very much! (I did not try
it in my user profile.)

That matches what I'm seeing - evolution was working properly for
me with evolution-data-server installed in my user profile, but stopped
working in the last week or two which is about when I switched my system
to GDM. Now on GDM, adding "evolution-data-server" to my system profile
fixes evolution.

Wow, I can actually reproduce this 4 years later, trying to add a big
brother (Gmail) account.

So the problem still exists. Is anyone successfully using Evolution?
