I run evolution for days at a time on most of my machines and havne't seen this. Did you have any errors from evolution in ~/.xsession-errors? If you look at the processes running, are there any in a state other than sleeping? >Did you have any errors from evolution in ~/.xsession-errors? I don't have this file at all. :o > If you look at the processes running, are there any in a state other than sleeping? Sorry, I rebooted the machine after the evolution freeze. However, before I did that, I tried to reload Evolution, and it wouldn't reload at all. Then, I tried to load it via the terminal, and got this: evolution-shell-WARNING **: CORBA exception IDL:GNOME/Evolution/Shell/NotReady:1.0 when requesting URI -- evolution:/summary Then, I tried to reboot, and found that the whole Gnome froze after I told the dialog box to reboot. It seems that the OS has come to a state that _some_ apps would freeze (not just Evolution). I killed X, and rebooted via the command line and now I am back up, and Evolution loads fine. I might be wrong, but I think that one of the screensavers might brought the machine in this state, because at some point, a few minutes after an OpenGL ssaver started (one of the random ones), it gave me an xscreensaver error. I moved the mouse, gone out of the ssaver mode, and then I went away and when I came back (in the meantime the screensaver mode was back up and it was working fine) Evolution was frozen. eloli and katzj, are you running Evolution with IMAP or local folders? I have seen this bug in various versions of Evolution after 1.0.8 when using very large IMAP folders. Reliability when using my IMAP folders has been so poor that I've switched to mozilla mail until it is fixed. 1.0.8 was stable in this regard. Is this bug still occurring with more recent versions of Evolution (1.4.* and 1.5.*)? Probably not, I haven't used it for a while though. I guess you can close the bug... Without any more info (e.g. on whether large IMAP accounts were involved) it's hard to do anything more with this bug. Closing as WONTFIX; hopefully evolution-2.0.0 will work better for you. |
