gnome-shell-calendar-server crashed with signal 5 in g_object_newv()

[Fabián Núñez]

Gnome Shell didn't start after upgrade and reboot. I used the terminal and upgraded again and rebooted the same. Now Gnome Shell seems to be working alright.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Linuxexperte (andrea-koeth)]

this bug affects me too here in Ubuntu 12.10 Gnome-Shell 3.5. This bug is present already a few days and always pops up, when Software-Updater is started.

[decafbad (decafbad-deactivatedaccount)]

each time i log in to gnome shell i get the message that gnome-shell-calendar-server has crashed

[Linuxexperte (andrea-koeth)]

hi decafbad,

I see the same thing here in Luninux12. Luninux is a further ubuntu-based Distro. Luninux12 is based on Ubuntu Precise. So this bug does not only affect Ubuntu, but more or less all ubuntu-based distros like LinuxMint, Luninux and other Ubuntu-derivates with Gnome-Shell

Greetings
Linuxexperte

I observed a similar issue which seemed to been caused by removing evolution from my system.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Specifically, you need to have evolution-data-server installed.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS reached End of Life in April. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Please upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and re-test. If the bug is still reproducible, increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it so we can try again.

I apologize that we are not always to respond to bug reports promptly. Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
