Bug 31227 – Evolution 1.4.5 crashes when trying to access Summary page

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tom Kiermaier 2003-10-15 14:15:17 UTC]

As soon as I try to access the summary page in Evolution, it crashes. This
happens every single time. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on summary button
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
evolution crashes

Expected Results:  
should have shown the summary page and kept working happily.

This just started happening a couple days ago after an emerge world using ~x86.
It updated the following libs: db to 4.1.25_p1-r1, libbonobo to 2.4.1, audiofile
to 0.2.4, gnome-vfs to 2.4.1, yelp to 2.4.1, eel to 2.4.1, and libwnck to 2.4.1.

The summary page seems to work fine when running as root. Could it be a permissions
problem?

[Comment 4 Tom Kiermaier 2003-10-15 14:44:11 UTC]

I think I fixed it. I deleted all configuration data for evolution and the
summary page now works fine.

[Comment 5 Tom Kiermaier 2003-10-15 14:49:38 UTC]

nevermind I just restarted the computer and the problem reappeared.

[Comment 6 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-10-28 02:26:06 UTC]

do you have a backtrace of the crash? 

could you do this in an xterm:
ulimit -c unlimited
evolution
<then reproduce the crash>
gdb evolution core
<at the (gdb) prompt type "bt" and paste the output here.>

[Comment 7 Tom Kiermaier 2003-10-28 04:21:12 UTC]

It says "No Stack"

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2003-10-28 04:48:10 UTC]

for evo you probably need 'bt thread apply all' or something similar (not
sure this is the correct order).
