[utopic] With EWS installed evolution appears to hang at startup

[Justa User]

When EWS is installed and I start evolution I can get the wizard to create an account with EWS, but then no GUI is displayed. There are evolution processes. If I start from the command line I see this:

(evolution:20225): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

(evolution:20225): camel-WARNING **: Failed to initialize NSS SQL database in sql:/etc/pki/nssdb: NSS error -8126

(evolution:20225): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-menu-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

(evolution:20225): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'CamelEwsStore'

(evolution:20225): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Could you please try 3.12.6 with Utopic? I don't have the right server but I could get evo to hang before with evolution-ews installed just by changing to the calendar and back and I can't now.

Sorry for the delay but was traveling. Just tried and still hangs. When I start from command line I get this:

I did and it still hung. Started evolution from command line and posted the errors to the bug thread.
