Brief freezes when email processed by filters
Last modified: 2012-08-06 15:17:36 UTC
Moving this from a downstream bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782831 Evoltuon freezes for a few seconds every time i receive a new email and it is being processed by the filters. it gets to be annoying to use it at work, since i get email often. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.2 How reproducible: All the ime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a filter in evolution to copy email from an imap account to a local folder. 2. receive new emails. 3. While fitlers are being processed, evolution freezes Actual results: Evoltuon freezes briefly Expected results: No freeze. i expect smooth operation
Would it be possible to get a backtrace of such freeze, please? That way it'll be easier to identify where the freeze occurs and possibly also why. I guess this is when the message is downloading from the server, thus receiving a message which is larger than, say, 1MB will have the freeze long enough to get the backtrace. You can gather backtrace with command like this: $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=PID &>bt.txt where PID is a process ID of running application, in our case evolution (ps ax | grep evolution). I would get this command ready in a terminal window, then send myself a message with large attachment which will trigger filtering, and then just wait till it's received and evolution's UI freezes. Please make sure you'll have installed debuginfo packages for at least evolution-data-server and evolution, and that they will be of the same version as the binary packages. You can check it with command like this: $ rpm -qa | grep evolution | sort
I am on fedora 16. How do i install debuginfo packages?
(In reply to comment #2) > I am on fedora 16. How do i install debuginfo packages? $ yum install evolution-data-server-debuginfo evolution-debuginfo --enablerepo=*-debuginfo The above command (one long line, not wrapped like here) may do it.
It does not find the packages. Is there a repo i need to add?
Works for me. Did you have there that part with "--enablerepo=*-debuginfo" at the end of the yum command? It's a new parameter, divided by a space from the previous parameter.s
irlapati, do you have any update for the bug ?
Sorry about this. But i have no update. I use it at work and have not been able to get the time to help debug this. I did move to thunderbird at this time which seems to be more responsive, but does not have some features of evolution. I do not think i will be able to get to this anytime soon. Sorry for taking up your time.
