evolution crashed with SIGSEGV... While Pasting Appoitment

[mexlinux]

Binary package hint: evolution

If I have an appointment in the evolution calendar (with or without attachment, that makes no difference), and try to copy and then paste in some other time or date, it crashes while pasting.

This might be related to the following bug, but this is in Hardy.

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

Have installed evolution-dbg
Run as follows:
mcanedo@mcanedo-laptop:~$ gdb evolution 2>&1 | tee gdb-evolution.txt

And then nothing happens evolutions does not start, is there something specific to debug evolution?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you need to type "run" there

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

Here it is, let me know if is not OK.

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

I don't have stacktraces or anything but I do have the same problem.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Trace isn't good enough to determine where's the problem. Please only mark this as confirmed if you have a decent backtrace, Nattgew can you please submit your bug with apport in order to have the option to obtain an automatic backtrace with apport retracer service? thanks in advance.

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Ok I am running Evolution and then pasting an appointment. It crashes. Apport does not come up. I looked it /var/crash. Nothing.
So I ran it from a terminal and attached the output.
I also did what mexlinux did above and will attach that, though it has hardly anything it it.

[fogman (sv)]

Hello,

I've the same problem here.
In gutsy, everything worked alright.
Then i upgraded to hardy and copy/paste in calendar doesn't work anymore.
It crashes without any warning.

Does anybody found a solution?

[SK (stephantom)]

Here's a good backtrace with evolution-dbg installed, valgrind follows.

[SK (stephantom)]

Nope, no valgrind from me. I'm unable to reproduce the crash when evolution is run through valgrind. (It's there with gdb as you can see!)
Setting this to 'confirmed' and hoping that the backtrace will do.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the stacktrace has no debug symbol and is of no real use, maybe you should try to send a new crash using apport, the retracing didn't work on this one for some reason

[Jerzy Luszawski (dr-agon)]

I have the same problem - crash when pasting an appointment.
A attach my backtrace using gdb.
Don't know how to catch this using apport - there is nothing in /var/crash. If someone tells me how - I can provide more iformation.

[SK (stephantom)]

The crash is indeed not picked up by apport.
If you tell me what to do to get a good stacktrace, I'd be happy to help out. The output above resulted from the procedure described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace (with evolution-dbg installed). I reckon I need the dbg versions from all the libraries too?

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

Pasting the appointment has different results depending on current View:
(mine is spanish so names may vary)

Daily View: It works
Working Week View: It Works
Weekly view: Crash
Monthly View: Crash

[Jerzy Luszawski (dr-agon)]

Unfortunately for me evolution crashes in every view (version 2.22.1), so this is not a workaround.
mexlinux - What version are you using currently?

[Jerzy Luszawski (dr-agon)]

I found similar thread at:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520823

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

@dr_agon:
I'm on 2.22.1 too

[Anton Sheihman (sheix)]

On 64bits it crashes but without SIGSEGV error in any view... 2.22.1

[Anton Sheihman (sheix)]

2.22.1.1 looks like fixed :) greater thanks

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

seems to be similar to bug #220608
