e-calendar-factory crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_cast()

[Paolo Sammicheli]

Binary package hint: evolution-data-server

Step performed

1) Added a new Google Calendar to Evolution
2) Closed Evolution and opened the Calendar on the Unity's Top Bar to check if appointments were visible
3) Apport detected the crash

Note on side: appointments are shown very badly compares to previous GNOME Calendar, I hope this is not the final release for natty's inclusion (See screenshot attached)

New calendar miss the previous features, not really usable in this way

Confirming, there seems to be duplicates.

Paolo,

Can you still see this crash happening? I'm unable to reproduce it and I'm not finding the stack trace very helpful in figuring out what's happening. I think this issue may have been fixed in an update of evolution-indicator (for the crash).

[Paolo Sammicheli (xdatap1)]

Hi Mathieu,

last weeks, after Beta1, I haven't seen this crash again and I used the google calendar integration quite heavily. Since Beta2 I'm using it daily on my netbook so probably it was fixed with last update.

Regards

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

marking it as fixed then, please if you see this again open a new report with apport, thanks.

There is no "Fix Released", even after the latest dist-upgrade.

I have had this crash since I added google calendars to my Evolution and the Oneiric update.

THe crash is triggered whenever I accept a new appointment.

Setting the local calendar as the default calendar does not alter this behavior.

This bug still persists.
