[Apport retracing service (apport)]

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #358458. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thank you taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, processing the crash report to get detailed information for the developers failed as the retracer did not generate a useful symbolic stack trace.
Please try to obtain a backtrace manually following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Hello Pedro, here is a stacktrace of the problem. Reopening.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you get one with libc6-dbg and libglib2.0-0-dbg installed?

[Nicolas DERIVE (kalon33)]

Hi seb128, here is what you asked. Reopening.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the crash seems similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612596

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

let's see if http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?h=gnome-2-30&id=90a6ead715e47e3df9291c7fbee9bafbee10c144 is fixed the issue, I've uploaded that as a lucid stable update candidate now, it still need to be accepted though

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

similar bugs upstream on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616146 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612596

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

or bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616512

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

There is clearly a bug in libgnome-keyring as well there

[Jesse Raleigh (j-jraleigh)]

This issue has severely impacted my ability to use Evolution for email for over a month now. I appreciate all the work folks are putting in to getting this resolved.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could those having the issue get a stacktrace and a valgrind log with libgnome-keyring0-dbgsym libdbus-1-3-dbgsym libedataserverui1.2-8-dbgsym installed?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is fixed in the maverick version

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package libgnome-keyring - 2.30.1-1ubuntu1

Nice! Hopefully this will solve all of our problems. This might be a beginnerish kind of question, but when can we expect to see the fixed package in the ubuntu repos?

Thanks for the fix!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted evolution-data-server into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Evolution is still crashing even after the update.

which update? there has been 2 updates on the bug

[Bowmore (bowmore)]

Installing evolution-data-server 2.28.3.1-0ubuntu5 from lucid-proposed seems to solve my crash problems.

Before I could reduce the crash frequency by only having one or two mail accounts active.

After installing evolution-data-server 2.28.3.1-0ubuntu5 I've run Evolution 15 hours by now with five accounts active searching for new messages each and every minute with no crashes so far. That's quite an improvement ;)

Installed fixes:
libgnome-keyring0 2.30.1-0ubuntu1
evolution-data-server 2.28.3.1-0ubuntu5

[Frédéric CORNU (fcornu)]

Hi,

after having installed these 2 upgrades :

libgnome-keyring0 2.30.1-0ubuntu1
evolution-data-server 2.28.3.1-0ubuntu5

Evolution still crashes several times a day ...

So it seems this bug is a collection of different issues, not easy to work through those. Could users still have a bug after those updates open a new bug report? Let's say this ticket is about the issue addressed with the recent updates

[Bill Phillips (phillipswilliama)]

So Far Evolution has remained stable since my last update....Thankyou!

Hi,

Why not keeping on working on bug #578864 to which I attached a
stacktrace and a valgrind log ?

cheers,

> Why not keeping on working on bug #578864 to which I attached a stacktrace and a valgrind log ?

because bug #578864 is the same issue than the one described and fixed there and that would email spam the submitter with comments discussing your issue which is a different one, it would also mix several issues on that bug and make it harder to work with, would be easier to open a new bug with updated stacktrace and valgrind logs with current updates installed

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

I cannot reproduce the original crash but I've been using both packages for a few days already and did not noticed any regressions so far. Marking this as verification done. Also, as Sebastien said please open new bug reports if you think you're getting a similar crash let us to determine if that's actually the same crash or not, Thanks in advance!.

[Michele (mikelito)]

just wanted to report that I installed the updated packages, and had no crash during the past two days.
probably evolution will die on me within the next 10 minutes, but as of now, the bug seems to be gone for me.
provisional thanks for most likely having fixed this!
