Is it only when trying to print gifs? If so, does installing gdk-pixbuf from rawhide help? Just upgraded null with up2date which contains same version of gdk-pixbuf as rawhide and problem still exists. The evolution-mail component crashes while printing one email after another in a row, not just .gifs. I've found that printing plain-text messages works OK, however when I try to print an HTML message, the evolution mail component crashes. If I've tried to print the HTML message to a file, the file is created, but has zero length. I will have to add two "ME-TOO"s to this list. A user here had trouble with evolution printing his messages. The evolution-mail component would crash every time he tried to print it. I figured it was user error. Now I find that when I try to print certain HTML messages, evolution-mail will crash 100% of the time. They aren't overly-complicated messages either. Doesn't appear to be happening on our RedHat 7.2/7.3 with Ximian GNOME and Ximian evolution 1.0.8, just with RedHat 8.0 with RH's evolution 1.0.8. I'm not sure if it has any value, but "AOL". I can't print HTML messages neither. Evolution Mail dies screaming with a segfault. See Ximian Bugzilla, bug #31551, http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31551 I'd like to quote Mark Gordon of Ximian: ------- Additional Comments From Mark Gordon 2002-11-27 15:13 ------- This crash is due to a bug in gnome-print 0.35, which shipped with Red Hat Linux 8.0. Ximian has released gnome-print/libgnomeprint15 0.37 packages which include the fix to this crasher, so Ximian users who have updated through Red Carpet will not see this bug any more. I suspect many of these reports are from users with stock Red Hat Linux 8.0 systems, though. Anyone who wants to see this fixed but would prefer packages from Red Hat rather than Ximian should see the URL for Red Hat's bug above and pester accordingly. ;-) And here's Gnome Bugzilla's comments of the bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97170 Any chances we'll get native RedHat packages that fix this problem? Ingvar I get the same crash (segmentation fault) EVERY time I try to print an email. After clicking to close that window, I get another one that says: "The Evolution component that handles folders of the type "mail" has unexpectedly quit. You will need to quit Evolution and restart in order to access that data again." I am using Evolution 1.2 downloaded with Red Carpet, and I run up2date every time I am prompted. I am using the KDE desktop in RH8. It doesn't matter what the email is -- plain text or html, with or without attachments. Very frustrating. Here at the university, we all experience this bug (RH 8.0, evolution 1.0.8). Printing of an HTML email crashes evolution. I really hope this problem will be solved in the near future. Gilbert For those who have no time to wait for RedHat, and want to upgrade as little as possible to none-redhat-packages; The gnome-print-packages from Ximian fixes this, as stated earlier. You'll need to install the following packages: gnome-print-0.37-2.ximian.1.i386.rpm libgnomeprint15-0.37-2.ximian.1.i386.rpm and possibly gnome-print-devel-0.37-2.ximian.1.i386.rpm These are availble at ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-gnome/redhat-80-i386/ Ingvar Newer gnome-print is available in rawhide. |
