Description Kjartan Maraas 2008-02-14 16:10:29 UTC
Description of problem:

As part of setting up a twitter account you're asked to add an IM account. When
I did this it told me to click on a link to add twitter to my
contact list and it was opened by pidgin. The problem seems to be that my
evolution setup has an unreachable ldap addressbook in it and pidgin seems to be
hanging while trying to check stuff in that...

Comment 1 Stu Tomlinson 2008-02-14 16:26:49 UTC
This is indeed hanging in the evolution integration plugin. Does evolution also
lock up when trying to access that address book?

I don't think pidgin can do anything about e_book_open blocking, this is
probably a bug in evolution-data-server.

You can obviously work around this in the mean time by disabling the Evolution
integration plugin under Tools -> Plugins.

Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2008-02-14 17:01:07 UTC
Seems like just marking the local addressbook in evolution as the default took
care of the hang. So the general bug here is "e_book_open() blocks if the server
is unavailable"?


Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 05:12:13 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 4 Balaji G 2008-06-10 16:57:43 UTC
Changing Status to ASSIGNED


Comment 5 Warren Togami 2009-03-24 15:10:13 UTC
*** Bug 454351 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 6 Milan Crha 2009-03-24 16:16:39 UTC
EBook has synchronous and asynchronous functions. When pidgin will use e_book_async_open then it shouldn't block. Nothing we can do on
Evolution-Data-Server side.

Comment 7 Kjartan Maraas 2009-04-29 09:48:12 UTC
Feel free to close this here then.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 23:33:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 9 Matthew Barnes 2009-06-29 01:27:46 UTC
Reassigning this to Pidgin based on comment #6.
May have been fixed already in Pidgin's Evolution plugin.

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 18:25:38 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
