Description jlquinn 2010-04-21 02:26:46 UTC
I've taken to running evo inside gdb so was able to catch this backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Comment 1 jlquinn 2010-04-21 02:31:59 UTC
This is Debian evolution 2.28.3-1 on x86_64 squeeze/testing.
Comment 2 Akhil Laddha 2010-04-21 03:39:19 UTC
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot
to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash.
Could you please install some debugging packages [1], start the application as
normal, and reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the Details, now
containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a
comment here. Thanks in advance!

[1] debugging packages for evolution, evolution-data-server, evolution-exchange, gtkhtml2, gtk2 and glib2 (as far as those packages are provided by your distribution). More details can be found here:

Comment 3 jlquinn 2010-04-21 15:54:22 UTC
I've installed the package.  It takes random days for crashes to show up, so not sure when I'll have more info.
Comment 4 jlquinn 2010-04-21 15:54:56 UTC
Hmm, is there an easy way to translate the addresses in the trace to function names?
Comment 5 Matthew Barnes 2010-04-21 19:05:40 UTC
Yes, install debugging information.

See http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces

gdb backtrace

I don't know if this is the same bug, but it is a segfault and I've got
debug packages installed now.
Comment 7 Akhil Laddha 2010-04-27 04:02:31 UTC
Trace attached in comment#6 points to different issue. Could you please install debuginfo packages of glib2, gtk2 and gtkhtml, looks like you don't have them installed currently.
Comment 8 Akhil Laddha 2010-06-28 06:20:48 UTC
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for.
Thanks!
