From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040901 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: With evolution open, clicking on the "Contacts" button, it errors instead of showing the contacts page. It also does it when clicking on the fields while sending an email when trying to choose the address(s) to send to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-1.5.94.1-1 evolution-data-server-0.0.99-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Evolution 2.Click on the Contacts button 3. Actual Results: Error loading addressbook. We were unable to open this addressbook. Please check that the path exists and that you have permission to access it. Expected Results: The contact pane should open, so you can either view your list(s) or to pick an address to send an email. Additional info: This error happens with you click the contacts button, or if you create a new or try to reply or forward an email by clicking on the To or CC buttons to choose the address.
This happens on either an existing user or a newly created user.
Well, after running updates last night, which is the last 2 or so days of package updates in rawhide, the problem has gone away, and now able to see my contacts again. Will leave open for now for Dave to figure out why or to close if already knows or whatever.
Some questions: - this is with a local addressbook, isn't it? (not an LDAP one) - are the evolution and e-d-s packages that appear to now work the exact same versions as when the problem was occurring? - if so, did you logout or reboot at any point? Have you been running a series of updates without logging out? My hunch is that something's stale and got refreshed by other package updates (possibly bonobo-activation-server) - are you (or have you ever been running) SELinux on this box?
This _might_ also be a duplicate of 132840; did you update the kernel or the glibc package? Whan CPU are you running on? cat /proc/cpuinfo
I don't remember if the kernel or glibc were updated after the crashing and before the fix. [mike@scrappy ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 746.875 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 1474.56 And as an FYI...I had to reinstall the OS, so I just installed via ftp from rawhide as of yesterday, and no crashes as of yet with contacts.
Thanks for the feedback. Have you tried it with the latest rawhide packages? evolution-2.0.0 etc... Another question - did you ever set the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL anywhere?
