Hi shoktai, this could be a known Debian issue, due to the glib update. Please see bug 336767 for more information. A fast workaround is to start Evolution with this env variable set, until fixed packages are available: $ G_SLICE=always-malloc evolution Also, please check that Evo and its friends (evolution, e-d-s, evolution-plugins, libsoup, gtkhtml, etc.) are the latest version available, and do have matching version numbers (including the debian package version). Setting to NEEDINFO. (thanks to guenther for copy&paste)
Thanks for the quick answer. I have added recently to my /etc/environment file G_SLICE=always-malloc i will try with G_SLICE=always-malloc evolution
ok, please update (or close) after trying. thanks in advance :-)
My /etc/environment file contains G_SLICE=always-malloc evolution but the problem remains the same. evolution --version Gnome evolution-2.4 2.4.2.1 When i launch evolution --debug i get adding hook target 'source' (evolution:8948): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter. (evolution:8948): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_foreground: assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed
that terminal output is normal. :-) what versions of evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, libgtkhtml, and evolution-plugins are you using?
unique trace
Sorry for the lack of details but i am not yet into debbuging, just let me know if you need any other infos: ii evolution 2.4.2.1-1 The groupware suite ii evolution-data-server 1.4.2.1-1 evolution database backend server ii evolution-plugins 2.4.2.1-1 All bundled plugins for Evolution ii gtkhtml 1.1.10-9 HTML rendering/editing library - bonobo component binary. ii gtkhtml3.8 3.8.1-1 HTML rendering/editing library - bonobo component binary ii libgtkhtml-data 1.1.10-9 HTML rendering/editing library - data files. ii libgtkhtml1.1-3 1.1.10-9 HTML rendering/editing library - runtime files. ii libgtkhtml3.8-15 3.8.1-1 HTML rendering/editing library - runtime files
ok, your packages look good. i still wonder if it's evo at all - the stacktrace does not have any evolution traces in the threads where a signal handler is called. anyway, not your problem. :-)
Yes, i guess, i'd love to understand what means your sentence ;) I also have that when trying to launch evolution from the console: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x0814d5b0 ***
errmm.... funny man! ;-) you've actually read bug 336797 and the sentence about "*** glibc detected ***"? :-) ok, this IS a duplicate of bug 336797, but i'm going to close this only after you've managed to get evolution running without problems. :-) so please try out the workarounds described in bug 336797, and read http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2006-April/msg00009.html thanks in advance. :-)
"Wow, look at him go. You're the real Lord of the Dance, Homer" Evolution rocks again. Thanks so much.
i interpret this as a "fixed". no problem, you're welcome. ;-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 336797 ***
damn, wrong one. sorry for the noise.
