Thank you for the report, but this is not a launchpad bug, re-assigning to Ubuntu.
We're interested in why you accidentally recorded this bug as occurring in Launchpad instead of Ubuntu. If you can explain what happened, please let us know in bug 88818.

Please give the result of:
apt-cache policy evolution

Can you try to obtain a backtrace:
sudo aptitude instal levolution-dbg gdb
 and see here for backtrace https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

Set to incomplete until we have a backtrace and more info.

whatever an user application is doing the system should not hang, that's either an xserver or linux bug

Now with the 2.6.26-12-generic kernel almost everything works exept that i have to logout before i shut down the computer.

Othervise it freezes, but if i turn off ACPI in grub i works

so still the only 100% vorking kernel is 2.6.26-5-generic
