Evolution crashes on startup
Last modified: 2013-09-14 16:52:58 UTC
I'm using Ubuntu-9.04 with latest packages and I get evolution crashes on startup. Don't know if is glib or evolution problem... GThread-ERROR **: file /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.19.10/gthread/gthread-posix.c: line 171 (g_mutex_free_posix_impl): error 'Device or resource busy' during 'pthread_mutex_destroy ((pthread_mutex_t *) mutex)' aborting... Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

Looks GroupWise-related.
Could you add a "t a a bt" result here, please? It'll show whole context of the crash. Based on the error message, the lock left locked while someone wants to free it. It means some code flow on evo side, most likely.
Sure! Now I'm using latest pkgs at Ubuntu-9.04 (gdb) t a a bt

Mike, do you use proxies? Based on source code line numbers, it seems like very similar to bug #574957. Could you try to get the libsoup package with that fix included and test with it please?
Yes, we do have proxy for the Internet connection, but GW is on the LAN. Anyway, any idea of where I can get fixed libsoup for ubuntu to test?
I asked Sebastien from ubuntu and he said the package is not available yet, but he'll backport the patch soon. I gave him reference to this and one other bug, so hopefully he'll update both when the package will be ready.
I installed libsoup-2.26.0-0ubuntu3 and evo doesn't crash on startup. Now the problem is that evolution reports "camel-groupwise-provider-WARNING **: Could not connect..failure connecting" and I can get my new mail. Could this one be related? If no, please close and thanks for all!
s/I can get/I can't get/
It's just that instead of crashing it reports the error "properly". I would suggest you to check you proxy settings, probably those in your system, but check in evolution itself too, though those are not propagated to camel yet.
I can read mails with latest Ubuntu stable. Closing bug. Thanks all :)
