Description Patrick Dickey 2013-01-08 23:32:19 UTC 
I've been having this problem with previous versions of evolution, as well as the current version shipped with Ubuntu 12.10 (3.6.3).  At some point in time, I'll start seeing "Unknown Background Operation" in the status bar, and it repeat (at some point, there could be upwards of 12 of them in the status bar). When that happens, Evolution is unusable, and I have to open a command prompt and force it to shut down.

I ran CAMEL DEBUG=all evolution >& evo.log and have the results.  I'm not sure if this is related or not, but there's an issue where it fails to write the stream data (which is repeated).  

I'll be more than happy to execute any debugging commmands, and provide more information as necessary to solve this.

Thanks.:)
Patrick.

The evo.log file is too large to upload here. The file size is between 270 and 280 MB. So I've uploaded it to my website. You can find it at http://patscomputerservices.com/downloads/evo.log If the link doesn't work immediately, it should in the next 12 hours or so. I'm uploading the file right now, but may have to do it again in the morning my time (It's 8:22 p.m. here now).

I'm not sure if it will help though, as it may not contain anything related to the Unknown Background Operations.  Although where it ends, is most likely where I used CTRL+C to kill Evolution.

If you have any specific debugging instructions that I could do, I'll be more than happy to get the information for you. 

Thanks again.:)
Patrick.
