I can confirm this behavior. Althought my evolution has been working ok till yesterday on FC3 (don't know what broke it, messed with my /etc/sysconfig/i18n also, but replace the old one already). I my case if I tick box next to Exchange calendar, the evolution hangs and even after killing and restarting it hangs, since it tries to open the calendar. Tried to fix with following devel-packages: evolution-2.0.2-6.i386.rpm evolution-connector-2.0.2-2.i386.rpm evolution-data-server-1.0.2-6.i386.rpm With these Evolution starts and works untill I tick box next to Exchange calendar again. and evolution-2.0.3-1.i386.rpm evolution-connector-2.0.3-1.i386.rpm evolution-data-server-1.0.3-2.i386.rpm but these don't allow me to log in anymore (see my comment on bug: 142927). Created attachment 108789 [details]
9 last lines of stracing evolution when it hangs
I also made a fresh FC3 installation and tested with that (with and without official updates), but the problem still occurs. Since the calendar worked ok earlier, this seems quite strange... Mail works, Global catalog works, but calendar does not. Calendar works ok with web browser. This issue is a showstopper for use of shared Exchange calendaring (my primary use case for Evolution). The symptoms reported here are very similar to the Evolution Exchange calendar problem reported (and fixed last Friday) here: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=70357 This also sounds suspiciously close to bug 144072. Here's the package list from one of the FC3 boxes I have which experiences this problem: evolution-2.0.2-6 evolution-connector-2.0.2-2 evolution-data-server-1.0.2-3 I almost have forgotten this (since I'm using web interface with calendar). I did some simple testing with other account (my colleague's) and it did works fine with calendar. And I checked my exhange account and it is ok, according to our Exchange staff... So this seems to be quite bizzarre. I initially had calendaring working myself, but it eventually stopped working as a result of the upstream bug. The web calendaring is used by some of my colleagues, but is not a workable solution for me since I do not use Exchange for email. To deal with the high volume of mail I receive, I have made a sizable investment in my own mail filtering infrastructure (SpamAssassin/procmail/postfix/fetchmail), and POP mail from all my accounts to deal with it in one place. I have a sneaking suspicion that the open source developers at RedHat can relate. ;-) Just a "me too" to this bug. This seems to have come up in the last few weeks while the Windows folks did a massive update to Active Directory. Any ideas on how to work around this one? Well, this patch does indeed fix this issue: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=13397 How about an updated RPM? Thanks for the help! http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/ includes some Evolution RPMs dated Feb. 8 and 9. Those may do the trick... The RPMs I referenced in comment #9 have -- so far -- fixed this problem for me. The upgrade introduced a couple of other minor UI glitches, but removal of that showstopper bug was huge. I'd say you can mark this bug as FIXED or RAWHIDE now. Thanks guys! Thanks for all the comments. Resolving as RAWHIDE since comment #10 suggests it's fixed in the Evolution 2.1/2.2 series; this will become part of FC4 I've also done test updates of Evolution 2.0.* packages http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/3/ From my reading of the upstream bug referenced in comment #4, this should be fixed in those packages (specifically, the evolution-connector-2.0.4-* packages) Please reopen this bug if these packages don't fix the problem. |
