Just launching ekiga fails.

This *may* be a duplicate of bug#859497. Did you upgrade ekiga? Does ekiga start when you rename ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga ? My issue was mixing data between accounts after upgrading, but a core dump while attempting to read the config would be in the same code area, and I got this coredump also at one point.

All right, first thing I messed up my previous comment. Please disregard the "This did not happen before 11/12/2012." line in Comment #8. Secondly, yes, moving ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga out of the way does allow ekiga to fire up fine. I cannot say if this bug might be a duplicate of #859497, as opening up the URI https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859497 yields the message: "You are not authorized to access bug #859497."

Yes, I accidentally revealed my commercial VOIP password, and didn't figure out how to change it for a while. And now, bugzilla won't let me unlock it. So, in my case, I got either this core dump, or scrambled config when loading config from a previous version. I feel strongly enough that I will mark that bug a dup of this (and since I can't unlock it, I'd have to create a new bug anyway). I saved the old config to try reproducing. It would be handy if it would still fail after sanitizing the config to remove passwords.
Attention bug owner or maintainers: can we get the version changed to 17? This is still happening in 17, and don't want to get closed by EOL for 16.

This is a bug in gconf and it appears because you have too much entries in call history. gconf crashes if you ask it to read a very big entry. For me, it appeared at about 800 entries. There is a partial commit which fixes this: http://git.gnome.org/browse/ekiga/commit/?id=5d8ca54e8. Unfortunately, in order to cut the 800 entries to 100, it has to read them all first, and there it crashes. However, on my machine the crash appeared only sometimes during testing, and once you do not have the crash, the history is cut to 100 and everything runs fine from there on. Call history entries are found in .gconf/apps/ekiga-snapshot/contacts/%gconf.xml.
A recap of what was happening from bug#859497 when it *didn't* core dump: account information (specifically SIP server name) was getting scrambled between accounts, so that enabling acct#1 would start sending REGISTER packets to the server for acct#2 (with wrong id and password, naturally). This was worked around by renaming the ekiga config, starting new ekiga, quitting, then copying in contacts/%gconf.xml. You CANNOT copy any files from protocols (where the account info is stored) - or it still crashes or scrambles account info. You MUST reenter all your account information. But that is much better than reentering all your contacts.

So, if I am successful in still reproducing the scrambling problem, I'll just create a new bug.
Good. I think the scrambling problem is related to the crash. As there were too many entries, gconf read out its bounds and the accounts got somehow corrupted. In order to reproduce the scrambling problem, you have to reduce manually the number of entries in call history and if the scrambling is still there, attach the -d 4 output in a new bug report.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
