Never seen such errors messages. Dmitry, do you have any clue what might be
wrong there?



Comment 3 Scott Griffin 2007-11-25 17:44:58 UTC
The strange thing about the mail-notification error is it tries to restart in a
endless loop but it you are trying stop the application it auto-restarts on top
of itself.

Comment 4 Dmitry Butskoy 2007-11-26 12:34:35 UTC
It seems that Fedora 8 have spoiled mail-notification some way. There are
several bug reports already...

Thorsten, could you examine the build.logs of mail-notification, especially
various compiler warnings? I hope we can find some new-library-incompatibilities
this way.

Or point me to that build logs.

I disagree. One was one bug about a extreme rare corner case where the user did
something wrong that lead to the error he saw.

This one might be a bug, but I still fail to even understand what's wrong here.

Yep, it seems to be deleted.

I still have no access to any F8 machine. Could you rebuild youself and save the
build logs?

I'll try to do that later. But I'd reallly like to understand the problem we
have here.

@Scott, can you please open a terminal, run "killall mail-notification" in it
(just to be mn isn't running already) and afterwards start mail-notification
with the command "mail-notification" in the terminal? Is there any output? Does
it crash as well?

Comment 8 Scott Griffin 2007-12-02 04:23:20 UTC
Sorry I am late getting back with you, I was able to stop the mail-notification
and restart in the terminal however it did not crash.

I will be monitoring this, 


Thanks,
Scott Griffin
