GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 691657
a new group contact causes evolution to die everytime I attempt to use it
Last modified: 2013-01-23 15:45:08 UTC
I created a new group contact list last week. I see nothing unique EXCEPT that not even the first member of the group shows in the list of contacts when I display contacts in list form - other groups do have the first member showing. If I select this group to do anything, evolution just dies. I cannot delete it or edit it. I can select it to mail to, but I have no idea who the mail will go to. Running fedora 16 and hence 3.2.3 of evolution. I would like to delete this group name and see if I can get it right, but have no way to get at it. I also don't know how to capture the error for you folks to help you find the problem.
Hi, (In reply to comment #0) > If I select this group to do anything, evolution just dies. Crashes? Freezes? IN case it crashes: Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces and http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
Dies == crashes == needs to be restarted consistently - anytime I click on the group
Created attachment 234202 [details] includes stacktrace .... my personal notes are woven into the stacktrace - sorry
I am saving the file as it appears I may not have "SAVED" it before I attached it. - BUT it looks OK here to me - hope it is right - apologies Again this system will be updated early in Feb to Fedora 18 - not sure what will reproduce after that
Thanks. Stacktrace is the same as bug 684175 which was fixed in Evolution-Data-Server version 3.6.3. In case that upgrading your distribution to 3.6 is not an option you could ask your distribution to try to backport the patch. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 684175 ***

OK, I just finished doing a better job using gdb) generate-core-file But you don't need this so, I will delete it. In answer to your question. NO I disable contacts-preview, clicked on it (left tried, right tried) bye, bye evolution - no option to delete. I will be upgrading to a newer evolution with a newer fedora in a week Hopefully that will fix the problem. Interesting that when I come up in the debugger, it wants to delete a tasks directory and cannot. I don't use evolution for task management so perhaps I should just rudely delete (rm -rf) and if so which: find . -name tasks 2> /dev/null ./.gconf/apps/evolution/calendar/tasks ./.gconf/apps/evolution/tasks ./.local/share/evolution/tasks ./.config/evolution/tasks ./.evolution/tasks ./.evolution/tasks/tasks
