Description Mikel Ward 2008-06-20 01:17:11 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
While I was writing a message, Evolution hung.

I thought I'd lost everything, but looking in the syslog showed a ridiculously large number of these:
Jun 20 11:14:56 laptop gnome-keyring-daemon[17045]: couldn't read 4 bytes from client:

I killed gnome-keyring-daemon, and Evolution started responding again.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2008-06-20 14:24:40 UTC 
Likely a gnome-keyring issue, possibly a dupe of bug #502603.

What versions of evolution-data-server and gnome-keyring are you using?
Comment 2 Jeffrey Stedfast 2008-06-20 21:25:41 UTC 
not sure if it's the same bug, but I get this quite often for auto-check.

if I click the Send&Receive dialog sometimes a prompt pops up asking for a passwd...

sometimes a prompt doesn't pop up, but I can cancel the mail-check provider that is hanging waiting for a passwd by hitting cancel in the send&receive dialog

hopefully that helps.

basically, I see this a lot.


I'm on openSUSE 10.3,

evolution-data-server-debuginfo-1.12.0-11.3
evolution-devel-2.12.0-29.6
evolution-2.12.0-29.6
evolution-data-server-1.12.0-11.3
evolution-pilot-2.12.0-29.6
evolution-data-server-devel-1.12.0-11.3
evolution-debuginfo-2.12.0-29.6

gnome-keyring-manager-2.20.0-3
gnome-keyring-2.20-4
gnome-keyring-devel-2.20-4
Comment 3 Jeffrey Stedfast 2008-06-20 23:45:37 UTC 
actually, I just realised that this may not happen on my 10.3 laptop, it might just happen on my Ubuntu 8.04 desktop? (I'm about to install openSUSE 11.0 tho)

just in case, lemme list the versions

e-d-s/gnome-keyring* 2.22.2
Comment 4 Mikel Ward 2008-06-23 03:42:27 UTC 
gnome-keyring-2.22.1-1.fc9.i386
evolution-data-server-2.22.1-2.fc9.i386
Comment 5 C de-Avillez 2008-07-27 15:58:28 UTC 
gnome-keyring 2.23.5 (with the fix for bug 502603)
e-d-s 2.23.6 trunk
e-d-s 2.23.4
Ubuntu Hardy.

Every so often -- at least daily, sometimes more than once -- Evo hangs. Running gdb shows a bt similar to bug 502603. All BTs I have gotten have the same signature.

Still sounds like g-kr has problems.

Comment 6 C de-Avillez 2008-07-27 17:17:54 UTC 
opened bug 544998 against gnome-keyring.

Stef added a comment there that might impact us on Evo (comment 1):

"FWIW, UI programs should generally use asynchronous gnome-keyring functions
rather than the synchronous ones (which evolution is doing in the stack trace
above). This allows them to keep the UI interactive during a
gnome-keyring-daemon prompt or some such."

So there might be something for us to do on Evo...
Comment 7 C de-Avillez 2008-07-27 17:19:04 UTC 
dammit, I am running Ubuntu Intrepid, not Hardy... sorry.
Comment 8 Kandepu Prasad 2008-08-21 12:06:21 UTC 
As per the discussion IRC:
<hggdh> I would mark 532771 as depends on 544998, and dup 539210 to 532771 -- until we are sure the problem is *only* on g-kr, I would rather keep one open

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
