this process loses comms with evolution and use 100% CPU until killed

[Russell Cok]

Every now and then the evolution-exchange module seems to lose communications
with either the exchange server and/or the evolution program. Goes to 100% CPU
utilisation and does not recover (even when up to 5mins have passed). The ony
way to recvover is to run "evolution --force-shutdown" or kill the process.

I'm trying to use evolution everyday for exchange and pop mail and it is making
the program unusable. I'm getting this at least 7-8 times a day, sometimes more.
It is not network dependant as it occurs at work and at home.

I found this bug also while surfing on ms exchange global contact list, but with
the "today" CVS release 20050405-0ubuntu1 seems to be fixed.

Hi I loaded the update last night of 20050405-0ubuntu1 and the problem still
occurs today.

Is this problem still relevant?

Have you tried running the exchange-connector in a separate window with e.g.
E2K_DEBUG=4? Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? :-)

Not sure, do you mean to open a terminal, use "export E2K_DEBUG=4" then run
evolution-exchange-storage from that window, then fire up evolution in it's own
window?

Anything else?

Unfortunately, with this setting everytime I hit reply to a message, or new
message evolution crashes with the "has quit unexpectedly" dialog.

The exchange connector window has the following (if this helps):

Have you tried doing this from another system? Does it still happen then?

Of course that sort of thing should be unnecessary, but it gives us a pointer as
to whether it's something in your inbox and/or your calendar that the Connector
can't grok or if it's something that has gone terribly wrong in your
configuration or your cache.. I've seen both happen.

Have re-run on a different machine this morning and when changing from mail to
calendar evolution has hung after the following message in the connector window.

I assume this was a newly setup Evolution instance?

This is a new error, right? I might have a fix for that particular error,
actually. It's on my work computer, I'll attach it to this bug tomorrow.

No this is my laptop (which exhibits the problem much worse than my home
desktop) - mainly I think because the laptop is on the LAN at work and the
desktop is only on ADSL at home.

Possibly, I have had the data-server also lock/use all of available CPU up
before. I have some additional info on this bug from the debug screen:

attr = ou, info = 0xb7c0976c
value = people
attr = objectClass, info = (nil)
looked up msgid 4, got op 0x866be78

I hope this info helps as I'd really like Evolution to be stable with Exchange.
And thanks for working on this.

Are you able to update to current Breezy and test to see if you still see this
problem? There's a few upstream bugs that might be this one:

        #74218 - Connector hangs while creating meeting in 'Calendar' in 'List
view' (Vivek)
        #72044 - Exchange storage hangs while importing contacts to 'Contact'
(Sivaiah)
        #73030 - Connector hangs while edit and save contact from mail (Sivaiah)
        #73025 - Connector hanged while searching 'Email begins' with (Sivaiah)
        #72943 - Connector hangs while deleting mail in offline (Jeffrey)
        #73505 - Connector hangs, right click on occurence 'make this occurence
movable' (Sivaiah)

Also, there was some major rework done with how the connector integrates with
evolution and there's no mention ofhangs in upstream bugzilla.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey

I'm on leave at the moment and will only be able to check evolution from the
ADSL connection (which was never as bad as the LAN based link). I'll do so over
the next week and post back any hangs etc. I have found breezy Evo (2.4x) to be
much more reliable than the 2.2 release so hopefully we're passed this. Anyway
will report back in a week.

[Jeff Bailey (jbailey)]

Since I haven't heard back, I'm going to mark this bug as 'fixed'. I'm not handling evo-exchange anymore, so I'm going through and cleaning up any backlog.

If it's not actually fixed in current dapper, please say something right away and I'll get this assigned to someone.
