Never had a problem before, I did find if I uninstalled evolution and deleated the remaining evolution folder in .gconf > apps> If I then reinstalled evolution it would allow me to set up an account and even send and receive test emails, but once I close the program it will crash on loading from that point on.

Sorry ... I forgot the most obvious and interesting aspect of this issue. This issue only shows up when I am running KDE. When I am running Gnome, evolution starts without any problem.

Sorry I didn't include that in my initial report.

Same Here, Evolution works under gnome but crashes under KDE !

Started after updates last week were installed, I believe one was a kernel improvement.

I did find once I removed qtcurve-kde4 and qtcurve-gtk2, Evolution started working properly again.  Once Evolution started working again, I have not had the issue re-appear.

I just removed qtcurve-gtk2 and evolution now works.

Did this change affect the appearance of your programs as well ???

Thanks for a bug report and investigation. I'm moving this to qtcurve-gtk2.

How to reproduce
-----
1. Simply, Evolution crashes when I try to open it (all the times) 
2.
3.

I can't reproduce that here with evolution-2.32.2-1.fc14.x86_64

Let me try and downgrade to 2.32.1-1

Nope. Doesn't crash with 2.32.1-1.
KDE = 4.6.00
Qt = 4.7.1-15
qtcurve-gtk = 1.8.5-1

Not sure if that's a x86 only regression. I need a i686 VM and try to reproduce it there.

I guess you all use updates repo only, no updates-testing. I will start with it in the VM.

Hello Thomas,

Initial backtrace shows version of kernel and evolution I was running when this problem occurred.  This issue popped up when I updated from kernel 2.6.35.10-74.fc14 to kernel 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.  I removed qtcurve-gtk2 1.8.5-1.fc14 to correct the issue.  Have been able to reproduce the issue by re-installing qtcurve-gtk2.  I am running an AMD64 dual-core system.

Hope that helps.

Bob

1.Opened Mail

Our best guess from some discussion on irc today, was there's some sort of symbol collision with qtcurve-gtk2's use of a (poorly-named) global named 'opts'

We're going to try to rename/namespace this in qtcurve-gtk2, and see if that helps the problem here.

Fwiw, the line these backtraces reference is:

qtSettings.useAlpha=opts.bgndOpacity<100 || opts.dlgOpacity<100 || opts.menuBgndOpacity<100 || !(opts.square&SQUARE_POPUP_MENUS) || !(opts.square&SQUARE_TOOLTIPS);

where qtSettings and opts are both structs

Hey,

could you test this scratch build if it fixes the problem?

Thanks

Hello Thomas,

Downloaded and installed scratch build.  Was able to bring up evolution with no problem.

Regards,

Bob Welsh

Downloaded and installed the scratch build, fixed the evolution problem and brought my application look back ( was looking like a version of win2K with the performance setting set for ugly ( no graphic enhancement ) 

Great fix guys and gals !

So does anyone recommend we NOT install the rpm from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2842708 just yet?

Kudos for such fast work! This is really impressive.

John C

Thanks to Kevin_Kofler and rdieter in IRC, we have a lightning fast fix. Thanks guys!

The new update will be in updates-testing soonish (info will be posted in this bug). With enough Karma as well in updates (stable).
Thanks to all for testing the fixed version and reporting the issue!

Started crashing following updates I did 18-Feb-2011. Updates included kernel-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686, glibc-2.13-1.i686 and a bunch of others.

Evolution was working fine before updates. Rebooted after updates were finished and Evolution started crashing.

Hello,

Did you attempt to download and install the path build in comment 20 from Thomas Jansen?  He patched qtcurve-gtk and I loaded the patch and it corrected the issue.  IF this does not work, make sure you un-install qtcurve-gtk to see if this corrects the problem.

Also, note comment 23 about the RPM patch.  This might not be ready quite yet.

Let everyone know what you find.

Bob Welsh

after filing the report, i came here to see what people were saying and installed qtcurve-gtk2-1.8.5-2.fc14.i686 from updates-testing. Got Evolution started up and it seems to be running without any problems so far.

How to reproduce
-----
1. no ararnca
2.
3.

Package: evolution-2.32.1-1.fc14
Architecture: i686
OS Release: Fedora release 14 (Laughlin)


How to reproduce
-----
1. segmentation fault starting evo

2. removing all about .gconf/apps/evolution and .local/share/evolution
3. start evo - configuring a simple account
4. close evo
5. start evo
Result is segfault

Solved usign the updates-testing repo.
But I think that the actual package should be removed or updated.

Bye
 Ambrogio

All it needs is another positive karma in bodhi and the new build will hit the updates repository.

Please stop posting nonsense to closed bugreports. No software is bugfree and for qtcurve there are 3 bugreports at all. Not so much problems at all.

If you think there is a *new* problem with qtcurve, then file a *new* bug.
