Description of problem: After some period of time Evolution stop working silently without letting you know something has happened. I can recognize it like I have no new e-mail and "proceed bars" are working without stop and any other activity. The worst problem is when it just "crashes" like this it won't notify me my e-mail(s) haven't been sent and it looks like they have. At this time I use "kill -9" and after next start all e-mails are in "recover" mode so I can see they haven't been sent. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.32.3-30.el6 How reproducible: From time to time :( Steps to Reproduce: 1. run Evolution for some period of time (I would say a week) 2. When receiving mail seems to be odd and it still do "something" without any result, it crashed probably. Actual results: Some kind of freeze when user live with pink glasses that everything is ok. Expected results: Stable client + some notification. Additional info: I tried to use strace and other tools but I haven't collect useful data.
Thanks for a bug report. Do you really have it running for a week (or more) in a row? If I may guess, I'd say evolution got out of memory, due to some memory leak, which might be repeated many times, causing a huge memory leak. But that's only a guess. Could you, please, install debuginfo packages for evolution-data-server and evolution (make sure their version will be the same as the one for binary packages), and then run evolution from a terminal like this: $ evolution &>log.txt and just use evolution for the long time? When it gets to the wrong state, open another terminal and get backtrace of running evolution. You can do that with a command like this: $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt Then get the process status, with this command: $ cat /proc/`pidof evolution`/status &>status.txt And then close the evolution. When it closes, upload here the three files, for investigation (can be as a single zip or similar compressed file, as I guess it'll be quite long after a week of usage). Please note that the files (especially the bt.txt) can contain private information, like your passwords, email addresses and so on. I usually search for "pass" (quotes for clarity only), to check for possible password occurrences. Could you provide some configuration details, please? I'm interested at least in a list of used Mail account types (you can see that in Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts, the Type column in the list) and types of the Calendars/Address Books/Memos/Tasks, if you use these parts of evolution too.
Hi, Milan, thanks for you suggestions, I'll do that. To specify my use of Evolution: it's only 1 (RH) account (imap), all shipped plugins enabled - default configuration. I also use PGP/GPG signatures. I don't use it as calendar, address book, etc.
It turned out that this is the same as bug #1040178, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it. I'll provide a rebuilt test package for you shortly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1040178 ***
