Description Ed Davison 2006-07-19 09:45:17 UTC
evolution crashes upon startup with no errors to the CLI.

I ran through gdb and got the following:

Comment 1 Ed Davison 2006-07-19 13:23:06 UTC
Actually, the last was after recompiling evolution, evolution-data-server, evolution-exchange and evolution-webcal with USE=debug.
Comment 2 Lisa Seelye (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-20 15:55:31 UTC
Happens here, too.

Comment 3 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-22 09:38:47 UTC
@Ed:

Do you have at-spi installed?

if so, please do:

gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility false

This will disable the accessibility modules.

We are working on a solution right now.
Comment 4 Lindsay Haisley 2006-07-22 13:15:18 UTC
If you're running a 32 bit system you can backversion to at-spi-1.7.7 (not r1) which will also solve the problem until the new patch becomes available.  This worked for me.
Comment 5 Ed Davison 2006-07-24 07:17:49 UTC
(In reply to comment #3)
> @Ed:

Actually, no, I did not but I installed it.  That did not fix it.
 
> if so, please do:

Since I installed it I issued that command and it did not fix; still crashes upon startup.
Comment 6 Ed Davison 2006-07-24 07:19:08 UTC
I suppose I should put my emerge info here as well since I opened the bug:

Comment 7 Lisa Seelye (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-24 07:24:22 UTC
I should note that WRT Comment #3 removal of at-spi (disabling accessibility support) works for my Gnome crashing problems.
Comment 8 Ed Davison 2006-07-31 04:53:55 UTC
I must say that neither installing or removing at-spi has helped my situation at all.  Are there any other suggestions on this?  
Comment 9 MAL 2006-08-06 05:53:07 UTC
I'm in the same boat as comment #8
Comment 10 Ed Davison 2006-08-28 09:17:34 UTC
Any progress on this?

Any more data needed that has not been provided?
Comment 11 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-02 08:14:52 UTC
Can anybody still reproduce reported behavior?
Comment 12 Ed Davison 2007-04-02 14:52:42 UTC
Sorry, I no longer have access to the Linux system that this was occurring on so cannot test/repro this issue any longer.
Comment 13 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-24 09:34:59 UTC
