*** Bug 354719 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-10-04 12:52:35 UTC

e-d-s, also confirming

Comment 3 Sam Morris 2006-10-04 13:31:45 UTC

BTW, let me know if you want local variables or any other info.

Comment 4 Sam Morris 2006-10-04 13:58:12 UTC

Hm, even after e-d-s has died and been respawned, Evolution itself crashes if I try to change to select/view any other calendar (even local ones). I can't even remove the buggy calendar!

I'll submit a separate bug + stack trace in a moment.

Comment 6 Sam Morris 2006-11-28 00:01:56 UTC

The CN attribute of the subject of the certificate that was presented by my web server did not match the hostname of the server.

I just tried adding a new calendar that required SSL and HTTP basic authentication, but with a URL that matched the common name of the certificate subject, and there was no crash! I just got a '401 unauthorized' error dialog from Evolution.

Comment 7 Sebastien Bacher 2006-12-01 10:14:29 UTC

Ubuntu bug with a similar backtrace: https://bugs.launchpad.net/products/evolution-data-server/+bug/60559

"Click on the date / time applet on the top gnome panel.

Bug Buddy will launch with the backtrace below.

I have evolution set up to show me a google calendar if that makes any difference

This seems to be fixed with 2.12.
