Starting with 2.4.2, when I start evolution it crashes just after the GUI loads. on the terminal I see: morcant@fury(~): evolution adding hook target 'source' (evolution:30908): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter. (evolution:30908): e-canvas-background.c-CRITICAL **: ecb_style_set: assertion `ecb->priv->gc != NULL' failed When I run this through gdb, I get: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00002aaab2a66e20 in e_pub_publish () from /usr/lib64/evolution/2.4/components/libevolution-calendar.so here is a complete backtrace: #0 0x00002aaab2a66e20 in e_pub_publish () from /usr/lib64/evolution/2.4/components/libevolution-calendar.so #1 0x00002aaab2a2592b in calendar_component_peek_base_directory () from /usr/lib64/evolution/2.4/components/libevolution-calendar.so #2 0x00002aaaae2af8a1 in g_main_context_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0x00002aaaae2b15cd in g_main_context_acquire () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0x00002aaaae2b197a in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #5 0x00002aaaac3e4ccb in bonobo_main () from /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.so.0 #6 0x00000000004179b7 in main () I do have my calendar set to post to a webdav share. moving libevolution-calendar.so out of the way allows evolution to load without the calendar component.
