Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Hi Pedro;
Each time I launch evolution I can reproduce the copy/paste crash. But when I launch it as indicated in valgrind wiki page (G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log evolution) the copy/paste operation succeed !!
What do you think about ??

[Martin Reiche (grimsrud)]

Hi,
I have the same reproducable problem and like Nizar K everthing works fine when starting Evolution with Valgrind.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you attach the log anyway, it might still list some issues

[Martin Reiche (grimsrud)]

Here is the log.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the valgrind log has some errors but you didn't install the debug versions so it lacks details to be really useful

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you install libglib2.0-0-dbg libgtk2.0-0-dbg liborbit2-dbg evolution-dbg evolution-data-server-dbg and get a new valgrind log?

[Martin Reiche (grimsrud)]

Here is the log with dbg.

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

here is my log too, perhaps it can help.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the new valgrind log has the required informations

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug is known upstream, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523402 and will be fixed in hardy updates

[Nizar Kerkeni (nizarus)]

as I said in post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/220608/comments/2 I can't reproduce the crash in evolution.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug has been fixed upstream now

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the new upstream 2.22.1.1 version fixes this issue and will be uploaded as an hardy update

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I can confirm that the 2.22.1.1 update fixes the issue

[Gianluca Masci (g-masci)]

Yes, the fix works.

[Jerzy Luszawski (dr-agon)]

Version 2.22.1.1 fixed the issue for me (Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64). Thanks.

[Dave W. (dave.w)]

Bear with me; I'm still new to Ubuntu and Linux. I'm experiencing this bug also and have been keeping up with the automated Ubuntu updates, but the problem is still occuring. The 'About' window in Evolution shows I'm still on version 2.22.1. Is there something special I need to do to get the fix? I'm guessing at this point that this fix is not yet part of the package automatic updates...

Guidance is appreciated... Thanks.

[Jerzy Luszawski (dr-agon)]

dwitkin:
You must enable 'hardy-proposed' updates. If you use Synaptic it is under Preferences|Repositories , then 'Updates' tab.

[Dave W. (dave.w)]

dr_agon,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I made the configuration change you outlined in Synaptic and I'm downloading the updates now. Much appreciated.

Regards,
Dave

[Martin Reiche (grimsrud)]
