Diff of evolution directory before and after the application has been opened then closed
In an attempt to try to find what was causing this problem, I created this file
which shows the differences in the config files before and after the
application has been opened then closed. Here are the steps I used to create
the file:
1. Delete the evolution directory in the user's home directory (or use a user
that has not yet run evolution, so does not have that directory.
2. Run evolution and complete the wizard. Once finished, try to enter the mail
settings and the mail application will crash.
3. Close evolution and copy the evolution directory to a different place (i.e.
evolution2).
4. Run evolution, then close it without doing anything.
5. Recursively diff the directories to find the differences.
The results of my doing this are included in the file evol.diff, which I
attached to this bug.
Thought an ugly workaround is to remove the ~/evolution directory and then restart evolution. (DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR MAIL FIRST). This should fix that segfault. |
