Connector Crashes after running for a bit
Last modified: 2006-07-21 05:23:48 UTC
Been getting this pretty consistently. Sometimes happens right at start up, usually takes a little bit. After connector crashes, it causes Evolution to crash. This does not happen if I don't have my exchange account enabled. Versions: evolution-2.7.3-2 evolution-connector-2.7.3-2 evolution-data-server-1.7.3-2 gtkhtml3-3.11.3-1 libsoup-2.2.94-3 gnutls-1.4.0-1 Backtraces will be attached next.

Ryan P Skadberg, trace in comment #1, I see SIGPIPES. Is the the trace you took after connector crashed? It is better to attach gdb when evolution-exchange-storage crashes, if you want to run evolution-exchange-storage with gdb, then use the gdb command "handle SIGPIPE nostop" to handle SIGPIPE.
Created attachment 68124 [details] New crash Here is an updated crash of just evolution. It seems that it is reaching a point it isn't supposed to reach.
Created attachment 68409 [details] Another evo connector crash I'm seeing exactly the same issue on 2.7.3 as well.
I also was seeing a very similar problem to this in the 2.5.x series. It seemed to go away once I deleted the ~/.evolution directory and let it re-create it but doing that this time has no effect so it seems it may have been masking it. Bug details here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324790
This APPEARS to be fixed in 2.7.4. Peter, can you see if you are seeing it working better there and maybe we can close this out.
Created attachment 69066 [details] Problem re-creating exchange account I would love to...... BUT.... in the process of trying to fix it in 2.7.3 I removed all of my evolution information and now when I try to setup my exchange account again I get an error in the setup dialog when entering new account information in that I can only enter my username and no server information hence I can't enter a server etc and it won't let me progress through to the next stage of the setup.... see attached screen shot. ideas? is there a way around this? I'd love to move back to evo from the OWA!
OK. Worked out if you run /usr/bin/exchange-connector-setup-2.8 I can setup the account. I now have evo running and will test it today.
OK. Yippee!!! Having been using this quite extetnsively for the last couple of hours it seems stable on 2.7.4
Nice. Keep it running for some more time... and let me know if you see the crash again. The behavior you saw in comment #8 is because the "Exchange Operations" plugin was disabled. Please enable it is get all the exchange connector functionalities.
Hi Sushma, How do you enable it from the command line, it seems it was disabled by default as there was no current evo config. I had since discovered that when i had run /usr/bin/exchange-connector-setup-2.8 and gone into plugins as I normally disable a number of plugins such as Hula and Groupwise as I don't use them. Pete
It'll be disabled if some other library is failing to load. (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347873) You can enable it from Menu Edit -> Plugins.
I assume that the crash part has been fixed and closing the bug. Please re-open if you see this issue again. Thanks.
