Evolution crashes when running either on a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. The best information that i can receive on this was collected through gdb. Program received signal SIG32, Real-time event 32. ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---q It happens on startup most of the time. Sometimes I can get the application started but if I try to do too much work (e.g. reading and deleting emails) then evolution crashes with this signal. At present I am running on a 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 kernel but I tested this on 2.4.25-gentoo-r2 kernel and got the same result. I don't believe its a kernel issue. It started after I received emails a few days back. I cannot determine if the issue is evolutions inability to read certain emails, which I find bizarre, or a unknown bug issue hidden until this time.

32 doesn't seem to be a valid signal in 'man kill', weird, try doing 'strace evolution' and see if it shows your problem, else, copy and paste that output to a file and attach it here
Created attachment 32748 [details] strace of evolution execution
Double check me on this but it appears that evolution segfaults when it attempts to close a file handle on /usr/lib/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-hangul-fc.so.
I also get the Real-time event error. I haven't a clue what it means of or where to go from here but I get it every startup and evolution is now useless to me.
Moving the local maildir to a new location and then starting Evolution changed the situation somewhat. Starting evolution gave me an error that the maildir wasn't found (obviously) and so I quit evolution an moved the maildir back to it's original location. Now Evolution doesn't crash on startup anymore as the folder list belonging to the local mail list isn't displayed but it does crash as soon as I try to view it. What made me try this was that I got the following output on terminal once. Now the terminal is quiet. asked to activate component_id `OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Component:1.5' asked to activate component_id `OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Component:1.5' (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not save summary for /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Sent: No such file or directory (evolution-1.5:20010): widgets-WARNING **: Could not open converter for 'UNKNOWN' to 'UTF-8' charset (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not save summary for /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Spam: No such file or directory (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not save summary for /home/alexander/.maildir///INBOX/Work: No such file or directory (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not save summary for /home/alexander/.maildir///INBOX/Work/Xjobb: No such file or directory (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not save summary for /home/alexander/.maildir///INBOX/Work/AeroTech: No such file or directory (evolution-1.5:20010): widgets-WARNING **: Could not open converter for 'iso-1323-9' to 'UTF-8' charset (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-WARNING **: Cannot create charset conversion from iso-1323-9 to UTF-8: Invalid argument (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-WARNING **: Cannot convert 'iso-1323-9' to 'UTF-8', message index may be corrupt (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-WARNING **: Cannot create charset conversion from iso-1323-9 to UTF-8: No such file or directory (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-WARNING **: Cannot convert 'iso-1323-9' to 'UTF-8', message index may be corrupt (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word '00000000': No such file or directory (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word '00000000': Invalid argument (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Failed to move new maildir message /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Lists/ACPI/new/1086610362_2.9384.alexanders,U=3144,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2, to cur /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Lists/ACPI/cur/1086610362_2.9384.alexanders,U=3144,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2,:2, (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Failed to move new maildir message /home/alexander/.maildir///INBOX/Lists/ACPI/new/1086610362_0.9382.alexanders,U=3142,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2, to cur /home/alexander/.maildir///INBOX/Lists/ACPI/cur/1086610362_0.9382.alexanders,U=3142,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2,:2, (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Failed to move new maildir message /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Lists/ACPI/new/1086610362_3.9385.alexanders,U=3145,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2, to cur /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Lists/ACPI/cur/1086610362_3.9385.alexanders,U=3145,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2,:2, (evolution-1.5:20010): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Failed to move new maildir message /home/alexander/.maildir///INBOX/Lists/ACPI/new/1086610362_1.9383.alexanders,U=3143,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2, to cur /home/alexander/.maildir///INBOX/Lists/ACPI/cur/1086610362_1.9383.alexanders,U=3143,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2,:2, (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Failed to move new maildir message /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Lists/ACPI/new/1086610361_11.9381.alexanders,U=3141,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2, to cur /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Lists/ACPI/cur/1086610361_11.9381.alexanders,U=3141,FMD5=be23bd96783685fa8cec1c3ef085eed2:2,:2, (evolution-1.5:20009): camel-local-provider-WARNING **: Could not save summary for /home/alexander/.maildir//./INBOX/Lists/ACPI: No such file or directory
last poster: you are refering to a version of evolution that isn't in the portage tree. Don't bring those bug reports here.
that's true. Sorry. I'll go to the forums instead.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 45937 ***
The original bug report was for evolution-1.4.6 which is a part of the portage system. This is not the version that was reported in aleis959's messages.
What is the status of this bug report?
without any backtrace from gdb, there isn't much to go on. have you tried re-merging evolution will less optimised cflags, like "-O2"?
So true. I apologize for not giving a backtrace sooner. Here is what I have now. Is there a way to just be a debug build for evolution only or do you require more than that rebuild with debugging enabled?

you need to add "-g" in your CFLAGS and also emerge with FEATURES="nostrip" you'll probably want to merge gal, libgtkhtml and libsoup as well as evolution.
I rebuild evolution using debug in the USE variable and nostrip in FEATURES of the /etc/make.conf. I then used emerge to rebuild it: emerge -v evolution. The backtrace from gdb is a bit more informative but not much: (gdb) thread apply all bt (gdb) bt #0 0x413699f4 in pthread_getconcurrency () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x41369838 in pthread_getconcurrency () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #2 0x41368ef2 in pthread_create () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #3 0x400a78bd in e_thread_put (e=0x814c140, msg=0x81b1498) at e-msgport.c:754 #4 0x417f075e in ??

Adding debug to the make.conf emerge then added -g to the CFLAGS. I will rebuild gal, libgtkhtml and libsoup and give the results of a backtrace when I am done.
This result was after rebuilding gal, libgtkhtml and libsoup with 'debug' on and nostrip. I did not rebuild evolution after that.

that backtrace still doesn't have any debugging symbols, its not really useful at all.
Here are my settings: CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" FEATURES="sandbox strict buildpkg userpriv fixpackages nostrip" USE="X kde alsa jack mysql doc mbox imap nntp sasl maildir java mmx xml samba p pds tiff bonobo gimpprint debug mozilla" Anything wrong with these? I will try the following which has worked for a project: CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -ggdb3" I will remove 'debug' from the USE variable and recompile evolution. Please give me more guidance as to have to get debugging symbols to be displayed rather than commenting on the obvious fact they are missing. This would enable me to assist you better.
I unmerged evolution and then set the CFLAGS and USE flags that I mentioned. Unfortunately I still do not have debugging symbols. Here is all that I get from gdb: Program received signal SIG32, Real-time event 32. 0x413809f4 in pthread_getconcurrency () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 (gdb) bt #0 0x413809f4 in pthread_getconcurrency () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x41380838 in pthread_getconcurrency () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #2 0x4137fef2 in pthread_create () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #3 0x400a78dd in e_thread_put (e=0x81542a0, msg=0x81b14a8) at e-msgport.c:754 #4 0x4180776e in ??

you might want to look at http://xarg.net/ seems like you need to compile glibc with debugging symbols as well, so it might be that your glibc thats causing the problem
Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3.20040420 -build -debug -debug -erandom +nls -nptl -pic 18 kB This is what glibc was compiled with before. Which of the build options should I set? I was thinking: +debug +nptl. I am using a 2.6.5 kernel.
I rebuilt evolution, glibc, gal, libgtkhtml, and libsoup with my regular USE flags plus 'debug'. I changed the FEATURES to have nostrip in it. Evolution does not segfault do to a SIG32. I got the following segfault just deleting select emails a mail box. I would use the first click to select the start of the block and hold down SHIFT while selecting the bottom. Afterwards I pressed Ctrl+d.

that looks like a pango problem. Could you remove the hangul plugin & rerun 'pango-querymodules > /etc/pango/pango.modules' see if evo still crashes, if it doesn't could you rebuild pango with debugging suport and get another backtrace ? (or maybe do that first)
The previous crash that I had was while I was trying to delete emails. I redid the pango-querymodules > /etc/pango/pango.modules as well as rebuilding pango with debug symbols. So far I have been able to clear up my inbox. So I will have to try and see if I can break evolution another way or fail trying.
you have the preview pane on & were deleting spam i bet ? I guess one of the spam mails made it crash then. If you can't reproduce it, I'm closing this until you can.
