GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 513646
Starting Evolution with Exchange account with wrong password loops indefinently
Last modified: 2008-02-04 18:13:05 UTC
Please describe the problem: I changed my password on the Exchange-server. After that I start Evolution but it doesn't start, the window doesn't appear. Turning on debug and checking the log I can see that it fails to authenticate over and over again, never stopping. I have also tried starting in offline mode but as usual that parameter has no effect. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: $ dpkg -l | grep evolution- | awk '{print $2,$3}' evolution-common 2.21.90-0ubuntu1 evolution-data-server 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 evolution-data-server-common 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 evolution-data-server-dbgsym 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 evolution-dbgsym 2.21.90-0ubuntu1 evolution-exchange 2.21.90-0ubuntu1 evolution-exchange-dbgsym 2.21.90-0ubuntu1 evolution-plugins 2.21.90-0ubuntu1 evolution-plugins-dbgsym 2.21.90-0ubuntu1 evolution-webcal 2.13.90-0ubuntu1 $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"
I tried starting with my network connection disabled and then I was able to get into Evolution but it's impossible to change the password once there. The 'Authenticate' in the account settings only produces that it cannot connect to the mailserver (I had by then of course restored the network connection and gone to online mode).
Can you attach the debug logs with starting Evolutoin on the console with the environment variable E2K_DEBUG=4

Now I started Evolution because I had inactivated that accout so I could use my IMAP account but as soon as I activated it first the desktop almost hung, Evo was unresponsive for maybe one minute, then I looked at the logfile and noted that it was growing rapidly with failed auth requests.
Is it same as bug 511235 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511235) which has been fixed already ? Look at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510316 also. Adding Dan in Cc.

That bug is definitely already fixed in evolution-data-server-2.21.90. Can you confirm what version of libsoup you have as well?
Dan, it is a tgz file with 1.1MB of log. I can see it.
Created attachment 104397 [details] [review] patch to fix whoops, didn't notice that Firefox had downloaded a file. Easy fix; we just need to not return the cached password if "retrying" is set.
Thanks Dan. Commit it to trunk.
