Binary package hint: evolution
Using Maverick
My Evolution is Version 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1
I just start evolution and it opens as regular, but when checking for new mails it closes and says "Segmentation fault"

I do not know if I have the same bug here. I can start evolution as usual and after some time (especially when hitting 'send message') it crashes with an segmentation fault. But it did also when I just minimized it.
How can I get such detailed information like Eike posted here?
--debug=FILE dues also only write 'segmentation fault' to that file...

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.

This happens to me on startup with 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3. Evolution doesn't get to the point of displaying anything graphically. Here is what happens when it is launched from a shell:

$ evolution

I am working on getting the requested Valgrind information.

Here are the requested Valgrind logs.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

is anybody still seeing this with 2.32 on Natty or 3.0 on Oneiric?

[Adi Roiban (adiroiban)]

I am now testing oneiric.

Did a fresh install and the first installed package was evolution.

I installed evolution and when I want to start it I get the following error.

$ evolution
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: Process /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon exited with status 1

** (evolution:3438): CRITICAL **: categories_icon_theme_hack: assertion `filename != NULL && *filename != '\0'' failed

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Ruben Verweij (ruben-verweij)]

I am also seeing this in Oneiric. Please also see this thread on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11107033.
I will attach my valgrind log.

[Ruben Verweij (ruben-verweij)]

As promised, my valgrind log.
