2006-09-26 11:07:23 Sebastien Bacher evolution: statusexplanation Thanks for your bug. What value has the "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command" gconf key? Does running the same command with "mailto:someone@somewhere.foo" from a command line does the same? Do you have anything about that to ~/.xsession-errors? Do you use the standard GNOME desktop?

Your bug lacks information we would need to investigate further. We are now going to close the bug - please reopen if you have more information at hand.

2008-09-20 23:01:50 Jeffrey Baker evolution: statusexplanation Your bug lacks information we would need to investigate further. We are now going to close the bug - please reopen if you have more information at hand. (NB: this bug shows how broken the Ubuntu bug reporting system is. The original reporter left a perfectly good bug report, and someone set it to invalid without fixing it. Two and a half years later, we still have the same bug!) I confirmed this problem on Intrepid Alpha, evolution 2.23.91-0ubuntu1. When evolution is started as a mailto: URI handler (from Firefox, for example) it never exits. Not only that, but after it fails to exit, it chews infinite amounts of CPU. Here's my ps axwww listing: jwb 21470 1 1 15:27 ? 00:00:18 evolution mailto:sale-844852091@craigslist.org?subject=IBM%20X60%20Thinkpad%20w/Verizon%20EVDO%20&%3b%20many%20extras!%20-%20$749%20(noe%20valley) You can see that evolution was started to handle a mailto: URI. You can also see that it has 18 CPU seconds charged against it, going up constantly. Let's use strace to see what it's doing: $ strace -s 1024 -f -p 21470 Process 21583 attached with 3 threads - interrupt to quit [pid 21583] restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...> <unfinished ...> [pid 21470] restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...> <unfinished ...> [pid 21581] restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...> Nothing in particular.
