Evolution crashes with calendar

[Emil Oppeln-Bronikowski]

I've decited to check out Evolution/Calendar features. Sadly, everything related
to calendar operations (add task, meeting, todo) crashes it without warning.
I've disabled HTTP calendar plugin in settings, but it didn't help. I also
noticed some random, unreproducable crashes. (ie. Adding new signature)

Evolution crashed when trying to switch to calendar

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks for your bug. According to the backtrace your run Ubuntu 5.10 and not
dapper. Could you get a debug backtrace
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash), you can find 5.10 debug
packages on this page: http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/debug-pkgs/

Another bug-buddy output which seems similar to the other posted.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The 2 backtraces are different issues, the second one beeing a theme one. Could
you get a debug backtrace of the initial issue described by the bug?

[hans_olo (stefan-linux-lunatix)]

Same goes for me. When I switch to calendar, every component crashes. see the bug-buddy report.

Evolution crash in Calendar view with groupwise-account

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you get a backtrace with evolution-data-server-dbg and evolution-dbg installed?

[hans_olo (stefan-linux-lunatix)]

Of course. Sorry for the delay, too busy at the moment ;-)

I hope this is the infomration you need.

Cheers, Stefan

Thank you for your work on that. The backtrace is still not really usable:

"...
#5 0xb71209a1 in raise () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#6 0xb71222b9 in abort () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

#9 0xb7b0b437 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0
..."

Could you get a backtrace with libglib2.0-0-dbg installed and run it from a command line an copy the exception error written on it?

[hans_olo (stefan-linux-lunatix)]

Thats the output from the commandline: ( I will get a backtrace, too and
attach it)

again, another backtrace. cleaned out the configuration before .

evolution 2.12.1 on ubuntu 7.10

I'm getting only these errors:

calendar-gui-CRITICAL **: e_day_view_add_event: assertion `end > add_event_data->day_view->lower' failed
calendar-gui-CRITICAL **: e_week_view_add_event: assertion `end > add_event_data->week_view->day_starts[0]' failed

I get them when trying to resize an event. Sometimes it resizes (say from starting at 15 to starting at 16, for example), but sometimes it just ignores you. Doesn't seem to matter if the event is repeating or it is one-time event. Also doesn't seem to matter if you choose to 'apply to every instance' or to 'just that instance' when asked.

Hope it helps to find the problems, because you get the same errors, plus some more. These could be a separated problem.

Go on guys!!

[Guillaume AVRIL (guillaumeavril)]

With Evolution 2.22.1 & Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04).
When I disable the web calendar google, it works well. Google Calendar support seems to be buggy

i have this same issue with calender and exchange 2003.

here's some errors from the log... i think they indicate timeout errors? I have also noticed that connecting to the internet can be hit and miss... as well as DHCP....

don't know if it helps, i have the same issue in with Evo in OpenSolaris that i do with HH.

[ciscoshinobi (zohland)]

this report contains a the same issue with an older version of evo and a patch for evolution data server. looks like something to do with timezones???

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

does anybody still get the issue on hardy and could attach an updated stacktrace to the bug?

[cascaranuez (cascaranuez-rubidigital)]

evolution 2.22.3.1
ubuntu 8.04

It seems improved. Now you can resize, move and erase an individual event. But when the event is repeated, after resizing or moving a couple of events it starts to act weird, and it says this when focusing on an event:

(evolution:27037): calendar-gui-WARNING **: comp-util.c:242: Invalid object

and this sometimes too:

calendar-gui-Message: e-calendar-view.c:2060: Could not update the object!

Sometimes it crashes silently while doing this things.

You can not erase the repeated event, neither an individual event or the whole group. But when you restart evolution they are gone. So they are erased, but not updated on screen or something until you restart.

Keep going people !! You are closer now!!!

Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!.

[Cesar Zea (cesarzea)]

Close the bug for have not enought information?. The bug is alive and a lot of linux users cant use their calendar applications.

Its one of the more needed application in desktop enviroment. If mail and calendar application dont run fine the desktop version is for play with toys?.

I hope the bug be marked as opened and hight importance. We can't work witout calendar application.

Best regards.

[Cesar Zea (cesarzea)]

The same issue. Evolution close with no messages when open calendar.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

don't reopen a bug only because you have a similar issue, the intrepid version has a known issue which is bug #270271
