Kontact crashs at startup

[Stéphane Magnenat]

Binary package hint: kontact

Kontact crashs at startup. I'm currently running edgy RC, but I think I got the same problem during the two days I was using KDE 3.5.5 under Dapper.

I'm using pim stuff over dimap. kmail alone works fine.

Here is the output of the command line :
nct@nct-laptop:~$ kontact

Today I restarted my computer from a cold start and it works again. I will test for some days and if things are ok I will makr this bug as invalid.

Steph

[Stéphane Magnenat (stephane.magnenat)]

Today I got this problem again. I had freshly started my computer, same as yesterday. I'll try to find any specific reasons that could trigger crash and update bug report.

Thanks,

Steph

[Stéphane Magnenat (stephane.magnenat)]

Today I got the problem again, but before crash kontact displayed 4 times a "Copy file box" that was saying "Copying event n of 22366" (with n going from 1 to 22366). Of course I've not so much event in my agenda, I even doubt that I've that much mails.

I suspect it is an upstream bug that happens when some strange state arise in dimap resources. I'm also accessing the same resources from another computer also running kontact and there might be some messing somewhere. Nevertheless the fact kde pim is so unstable is frustrating and kills user experience.

I too am seeing the exactly same issue.
I too use dimap (for MS Exchange) but don't think its a dimap issue because then kmail, when started standalone, should also have had this issue.

I noticed that (when I was using Debian) when using kontact 3.5.4, this issue was not seen.

Am wondering why this bug is still "Unconfirmed".

[wweundertaker (aacinfosystems)]

Hi,

I think you have got the wrong email. I use Ubuntu which is based on
Gnome. So probably you've got the wrong person. :)

Have a nice day.

Regards,
Ash

Folks, I'm not sure how, but updates on this bug are being mailed to some of us even though we haven't subscribed for it.

Launchpad bug, eh?

[Baishampayan Ghose (b.ghose)]

HPNadig,
Not really, somebody subscribed Ubuntu India Local Community to this bug report. I will see if I can remove it.

[Toufeeq Hussain (toufeeqh)]

I haven't subscribed to a single bug on launchpad and I'm being
spammed by it (maybe as punishment).

Please make it stop.

I might be the culprit, not sure though.

I subscribed myself to this bug but don't remember how a group would also have been added.

[Rajath (y-s-rajath)]

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf (rrs)]

Seems fixed in 3.5.6

[Myriam Schweingruber (myriam)]

Stéphane, did this occur again since your last post or is it fixed as Ritesh suggests? I'd love to close this bug :-)

[Stéphane Magnenat (stephane.magnenat)]

I've had it again with 3.5.5, I deleted kontactrc and the bug disappeared. Until it reappears I can't tell you if it's still there on 3.5.6 (I was in a hurry I did not backuped kontactrc sorry)

I'll keep this bug informed if I find any other problem.

Steph

[Scott Beamer (angrykeyboarder)]

It's crashing for me in Feisty. I just reported it upstream. I attached 3 backtraces to that report.

See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145663

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

It seems after speaking with users of this same config they do not have the issue and seeing as you have seemed to rid the issue I am going to fix release this. If you feel you are still experiencing these same issues, I urge you to reopen this report. Thank you.

angrykeyboarder, the issue you posted is not the same issue as reported here, yours has to do with Basket.
