What were you doing when the application crashed? I was closing the application when it crashed. Distribution: Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) Gnome Release: 2.16.1 2006-10-02 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.16.0 Memory status: size: 118374400 vsize: 0 resident: 118374400 share: 0 rss: 27451392 rss_rlim: 0 CPU usage: start_time: 1160190428 rtime: 0 utime: 500 stime: 0 cutime:467 cstime: 0 timeout: 33 it_real_value: 0 frequency: 0 Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/evolution-2.8' (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

Indeed, I'll reopen for the evolution maintainers/developers to have a look and will paste the new trace at the end of this comment. Could we get you to install the debug packages for evolution, evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, ORBit2, libglib2, gtk2, and gnome-vfs2 and then get a new stack trace? Doing that will provide debugging symbols in the stack trace which makes it much more helpful to the evolution maintainers.

Hello again, I am running Ubuntu Edgy Eft beta (6.10), and I can't find the debug packages in the Ubuntu repositories or on the Gnome web site for the following packages: gtkhtml, ORBit2, and gnome-vfs2. Do the debugging packages all end in -dbg? I am also having difficulty reproducing the crash now. I have tried several times this morning, but the program is exiting normally according to gdb. The bug may have been fixed by someone else. Morgan
Thanks for following up. :) (In reply to comment #5) > I am running Ubuntu Edgy Eft beta (6.10), and I can't find the debug packages > in the Ubuntu repositories or on the Gnome web site for the following packages: > gtkhtml, ORBit2, and gnome-vfs2. Do the debugging packages all end in -dbg? I saw gtkhtml3.8-dbgsym at http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages, following the link from live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/DistroSpecificInstructions, though it looks like there's a libgtkhtml3.8-15-dbgsym too. It looks like the gnome-vfs2 debug package is named libgnomevfs2-0-dbgsym and is up at the same place. I couldn't find anything for ORBit either. cc'ing seb128. > I am also having difficulty reproducing the crash now.

There were a couple of known fixed issues, so it would not be surprising if this was one of those.
you can add "deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs edgy main" to your apt sources and install package-dbgsym from there. Packages are available for everything that has been rebuilt since the service is running, that was not the case of the orbit2 package (I've tried to rebuild most of the useful GNOME packages before edgy, some might be still not there though, feel free to point them). I've just uploaded a new revision for that package now, a liborbit2-dbgsym should be available soon at the same place
also see the stacktrace at bug 326202; bug 384069 could be a duplicate.
can you please try in current stable 2.22.3 and provide us better traces if you are still facing the issue and please install debugging packages for evolution, evolution-data-server, evolution-exchange, gtkhtml, gtk, glib, libsoup, gnome-vfs, libgnome, orbit2 and libgnomeui (as far as those packages are provided by your distribution), thanks in advance
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME 2.22.3.1, thanks.
