Evolution Mail and Calendar: Switching to the calenda...
Last modified: 2008-11-13 08:33:19 UTC
Switching to the calendar crashes the application Distribution: Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) Gnome Release: 2.24.1 2008-10-24 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.24.1
Oct 25 17:17:38 desktop kernel: [ 284.173681] evolution[6216]: segfault at 8508458b ip b6187eb5 sp bf869fc0 error 4 in libatk-bridge.so[b6184000+6000]
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. 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://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!
I installed the -dbg packages, and clicked on the calendar which promptly caused evolution to disappear, however no bug buddy appeared, I tried a number of times.
I do have the debug for libatk-bridge.so installed, so I would expect this to start bug buddy up [ 3542.520351] evolution[7033]: segfault at 8508458b ip b62f1eb5 sp bf8d3a80 error 4 in libatk-bridge.so[b62ee000+6000] [ 3565.126624] evolution[7237]: segfault at 8508458b ip b62a0eb5 sp bf882d50 error 4 in libatk-bridge.so[b629d000+6000] [ 3892.924561] evolution[7538]: segfault at 8508458b ip b62b9eb5 sp bf89bd60 error 4 in libatk-bridge.so[b62b6000+6000] [ 4074.156945] firefox[7726]: segfault at b7a1da9e ip b7d57571 sp bfdf4f34 error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b7d29000+158000] [ 4131.400473] evolution[7682]: segfault at 8508458b ip b61c7eb5 sp bfda7a70 error 4 in libatk-bridge.so[b61c4000+6000]

gdb is a good approach (see the link I posted), however "Program exited normally".
The evolution application disappears instantly when not in gdb. My reading of it is that it must decide to exit, its not a segfault, but it is a crash from the users perspective. I was hoping the camel-imap-provider-WARNING messages might mean something to you, its the only abnormal status indication other than the whole thing closing.
(evolution:8078): camel-imap-provider-WARNING **: Unable to load summary no such table: login This warning comes when you are loading summary first time and haven't visited the folder yet. It will go away once you visit the folder. It doesn't indicate more than that.
I can't really take this much further, I have no experience with gnome and evolution. The calendar is unusable as the whole applications disappears if used. The -dbg symbols have not fired the bug buddy and gdb allows it to run. I do get the attached segfaults when not in gdb. In my experience this dual behavior in the debugger is often because debug builds have values inserted to normally un-initialized variables. Let me know if I can run anything else for anyone.
This is accessibility bug. Dup.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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 560329 ***
