I can access my email on the same server with no problems. I have updated to Update 1 and still have the same problem. I have also tried from a number of machines with a fresh install. I have tried using the Fedora Core 3 updates for evolution (2.0.4) and this seems to fix the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Evolution 2. Access calendar 3. Actual Results: Evolution hangs Expected Results: Given me access to my calendar Additional info:
Thanks for this report. Please can you run: rpm -q evolution evolution-connector evolution-data-server on RHEL4, and on the FC3 machine on which it works, and supply the results here, so that we can be sure what version we're dealing with, and which version works. Additionally, on the RHEL4 system that exhibits the hang, please can you run the following in a terminal: script (this will create a log called "typescript") evolution --force-shutdown export E2K_DEBUG=4 /usr/libexec/evolution/2.0/evolution-exchange-storage & evolution & then try to reproduce the hang. Once this is done, type "exit" in the terminal to stop logging. The "typescript" log file should contain useful information for analysing what's going on; please can you supply us with a copy. However it will contain all the information coming back from the Exchange server, so you may want to email it to me directly, rather than attaching it to this bug, to protect your privacy. Thanks.
The version numbers are... RHEL4: evolution-2.0.2-16 evolution-connector-2.0.2-5 evolution-data-server-1.0.2-7 FC3: evolution-2.0.4-4 evolution-connector-2.0.4-1 evolution-data-server-1.0.4-3 I will send you the log file directly. Cheers
Thanks for the information and for the log file. From the log you sent it looks like the evolution-exchange-storage process runs into difficulties dealing with some of the calendar data received, and eventually tries to free the same block of memory twice, and is taken down by glibc's heap protection code; the main evolution process is then stuck, waiting for a response that never comes. Please can you run the following: evolution --force-shutdown gdb /usr/libexec/evolution/2.0/evolution-exchange-storage At the gdb prompt type "run" (this is starting the Exchange backend under a debugger) Then start Evolution and try to reproduce the hang. I'd expect to see a message like: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x091f2258 *** followed by some details, then the gdb prompt. At the gdb prompt, please type "t a a bt" and attach the resulting text to this bug. Thanks
The message I got was: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0935ab88 *** Output from debugger: Thread 2 (Thread -1210405968 (LWP 3888)): #0 0x0087e7a2 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 #1 0x00eba404 in poll () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #2 0x00c2f163 in g_main_context_acquire () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0x00c2f47f in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0x02370bff in link_thread_io_context () from /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0 #5 0x00c841a4 in ??

I have the same problem: evolution will hang when I try to access my exchange server calander. (on an FC3 system, I can read the calander with no problems) Any chance this bug will be fixed or evolution will be updated in RHEL4? Thanks.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
(In reply to comment #15) > Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. So Red Hat will not offer a version of Evolution that works correctly with Exchange?
I find this quite worrying, I don't know what the benefits are of running a so called 'enterprise' linux now. This basically makes evolution useless for a large number of our users and has meant that some uses have migrated back to Windows.
It is disapointing. I would like to migrate to another distro with a more modern version of evolution, but only RHEL is aproved where I work. I gave up on a fix from Redhat many months ago, but I did find a workaround: get the FC3 RPMS of evolution-*, libsoup and libgal. Be sure to get the latest up2date versions, not the versions that come with the FC3 isos. The RPMs install with no problems, and they contain a slightly newer version of evolution-connctor where this bug was fixed.
This is exactly what I am doing, I find it strange that RedHat managed to fix this problem for FC3 but not RHEL4. I know that they want to keep version numbers the same but I can't see a major problem going from evolution 2.0.2 to 2.0.4. Can't wait for RHEL5 which should cure the problem.
