evolution crashes always on new mail on another workspace

[greenhunter]

Binary package hint: evolution

jaunty 32 bit

evolution ALWAYS crashes on new mail incomming on my pop3 account, if it runs on another workspace then my actual one.

It doesn't crash when I am on the same workspace.

Message in terminal says:

** (evolution:29018): DEBUG: EI: mail_read_notify
Segmentation fault

After restarting evolution I have the new message double in my new mail folder.

btw pidgin seems to crash randomly, too.

[greenhunter (tierfreunde-hagenburg)]

when I deactivate the new mail notification plugin in evolution. It doesn't show up in the new notifcation but doesn't crash.

[greenhunter (tierfreunde-hagenburg)]

correction

evolution crashes again with "Segmentation fault" in new mail even notifcation in evo is deactivated.

If I install evolution-dbgsym and run "evolution" i get no seg fault.
If I deinstall evolution-dbgsym the error is back.

could you try again? the dbg installs extra files used when running under gdb there is no reason they should workaround the issue

Hi Sebastian

I tested evolution on the same computer on a new user account with the same pop mail account. I did no changes to any other settings in evolution. Worked finse as should be.

I think it all started with adding a soundfile for mail notifications. which didn't work at all.

Deavtivating ALL plugins in evo stopped evo from crashing that strange way. I will go one by one plugin to find which is the reason for the crash.

[greenhunter (tierfreunde-hagenburg)]

so at the moment you can close this bug.

First I deactivated all plugins, restarted evolution and activated the plugins in group of 4 from the last to the first one. Restart of Evolution with a new mail after restart, switching to another workspace and waited.

And there was zero crash.

Don't ask me what caused that. At the moment I'm happy that I can't reproduce the bug myself.

damm

after a computer restart the bug is back with all plugins active and the double mail in the inbox folder.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you could perhaps get the stacktrace requested before?

[greenhunter (tierfreunde-hagenburg)]

I hope I've done it right.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you got the crash in gdb but didn't actually get the backtrace, could you type "backtrace" on the gdb prompt after the crash?

[greenhunter (tierfreunde-hagenburg)]

after evolution was running half day without any crash, I restarted my system and only used evo. + crash on first test mail.

and got a backtrace :)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the crash is due to evolution-indicator
