Evolution freezes in Jaunty

Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Look guys or you're fixing evolution and make it usable, or leave pidgin apart from it!!!

Installed a vanilla jaunty, evolution freezes and crashes like hell. Being pidgin connected to it through evolution integration plugin, it freezes too.

I have to kill all evolution processes to get my pidgin, a newcomer would have to reload the pc if not knowing that pidgin actually has no fault, and it's all evolution's bad!

Thanks.

I would provide you with a crash dump if it were possible. Actually
Evolution freeze is something completely unpredictable for me yet. It
can run for several hours then suddenly freeze, or it can run several
minutes then suddenly freeze.

Anyway, on the next freeze, I'll kill the "evolution" process, then
start it again with debugging flag. All I will be able to obtain, will
be sent here.

Thanks for your assistance.

I take it you meant the pidgin bug 162701, but I experienced that problem and I do not have evolution installed, so this is not the same issue.

This one locked up the desktop. I could not switch desktops or give another application focus. I had to ssh into the box, collect the stacktrace, then use "evolution --force-shutdown" to regain control of my desktop.

Hello Brian. There are two different issues you are reporting:

1. "Installed a vanilla jaunty, evolution freezes and crashes like hell."

2. "Being pidgin connected to it through evolution integration plugin, it freezes too."

Let's keep this bug with the first one. The second is a known issue (see bug 235250 for the base bug, and bug 371281 for my comments).

Right now, I strongly suggest you to disable Pidgin synchronisation.

Hello, I see a whole bunch of different "Evolution Freezes" bug reports, however, I am not using Pidgin plugin.

Evolution freezes on me on "Fetching Mail" stage. I've attached the backtrace, not sure if it's way too long as I had evolution run for about 12 hours before it froze on me.

It freezes during "Send & Receive Mail" dialog and clicking "Cancel" results in nothing.. it just sits there.

Let me know if you require additional information.
