Description of problem: After logging into GNOME-Shell the system gets sluggish because the process gnome-contacts-search-provider get almost 100% of the CPU Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-contacts-3.6.2-1.fc18.i686 How reproducible: This problem happens everytime I login. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login 2. The process starts to eat resouces Additional info: I have 4 google accounts registered with "online-accounts"
A workaround this bug seems to be at disable (switch off) "Contacts" for the online-accounts.
(In reply to comment #1) > A workaround this bug seems to be at disable (switch off) "Contacts" for the > online-accounts. And... no, that doesnt work ...
Removing the accounts from "online-accounts" seems to help though.
I have a similar issue, not sure if its the same one. For me it doesn't eat cpu when I login, it only does it when I'm actively searching the shell. The search is very laggy and chews cpu, the animations lag very noticeably if I search quickly. But if I remove the account from online accounts the shell search is totally smooth again. This is on pretty decent hardware too (i5-3210m, 8gbram, 7200rpm hybrid hdd)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
I suggest re-opening this bug since it is showing up in F22 as well.
Please attach to it with gdb and show a backtrace when it's doing this.
I'll try to do this next time I see it. The main problem I have is that my entire gnome shell freezes, and I can't switch to console. SSH logins via another machine still work but are very slow. If I get this again I'll try to attach via gbd and see what it is up to.
After a couple of updates on F22, this bug has not shown his face again.
I got this same problem again. I was able to attach via gdb and print a backtrace. I don't have debug symbols installed but hopefully this is still useful. The process consumed something like 80% of my system memory, which I have something around 6GB or so. Top didn't say it was consuming all my CPU, but the entire gnome shell lagged and was 100% un-usable. I had to SSH from a separate machine, and the ssh login took several minutes to complete. So something is hogging all my system resources when this occurs. #0 0x00007fb88579c4d6 in g_ascii_strcasecmp () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #1 0x00007fb88dae4408 in e_vcard_get_attribute () at /lib64/libebook-contacts-1.2.so.1 #2 0x00007fb88dadf61f in e_contact_get () at /lib64/libebook-contacts-1.2.so.1 #3 0x00007fb88ec7bfdd in _edsf_persona_update_groups () at /lib64/libfolks-eds.so.25 #4 0x00007fb88ec7c860 in edsf_persona_real_get_is_favourite () at /lib64/libfolks-eds.so.25 #5 0x00007fb88ea1731b in ___lambda23__folks_individual_single_valued_property_setter () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #6 0x00007fb88ea1c4b1 in _folks_individual_update_single_valued_property () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #7 0x00007fb88ea1ceba in _folks_individual_update_is_favourite () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #8 0x00007fb88ea23874 in _folks_individual_set_personas () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #9 0x00007fb88ea24400 in folks_individual_set_personas () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #10 0x00007fb885a826bd in g_object_new_internal () at /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #11 0x00007fb885a83f45 in g_object_new_valist () at /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #12 0x00007fb885a842b1 in g_object_new () at /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #13 0x00007fb88ea22534 in folks_individual_construct () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #14 0x00007fb88ea280af in _folks_individual_aggregator_add_personas () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #15 0x00007fb88ea29fb2 in _folks_individual_aggregator_personas_changed_cb.isra.10 () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #16 0x00007fb88ea32a7f in g_cclosure_user_marshal_VOID__OBJECT_OBJECT_STRING_OBJECT_ENUM () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #17 0x00007fb885a7ccd5 in g_closure_invoke () at /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #18 0x00007fb885a8e539 in signal_emit_unlocked_R () at /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #19 0x00007fb885a96ef0 in g_signal_emit_valist () at /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #20 0x00007fb885a97765 in g_signal_emit_by_name () at /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #21 0x00007fb88ea32db5 in _folks_persona_store_emit_personas_changed () at /lib64/libfolks.so.25 #22 0x00007fb88ec8341b in ___lambda11__gsource_func () at /lib64/libfolks-eds.so.25 #23 0x00007fb88ec8a833 in __edsf_persona_store_idle_process_gsource_func () at /lib64/libfolks-eds.so.25 #24 0x00007fb88577ca8a in g_main_context_dispatch () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #25 0x00007fb88577ce20 in g_main_context_iterate.isra () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #26 0x00007fb88577cecc in g_main_context_iteration () at /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #27 0x00007fb885d682e9 in g_application_run () at /lib64/libgio-2.0.so.0 #28 0x00000000004207ea in _vala_main () #29 0x00007fb885393790 in __libc_start_main () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #30 0x00000000004101d9 in _start ()
Was it updating the EWS GAL when this happened? Look in ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook, and run 'du' to find the directory in there which is huge. when were the contents updated?
Probably? the largest size is 800Mb The contacts.db is 414Mb, and it was the most recent update at July 13th, 15:46, though this is more recent than my last freeze. It's most likely related to the EWS GAL.. it's just a huge headache when it freezes my machine up.
Was there ever a resolution for this? I am on Fedora 22 and using Evolution EWS and gnome-contacts-search-provider grows to consume 4GB of memory and gnome shell grinds to a halt. http://i.imgur.com/VtDyCNt.png
Apparently also seen in Fedora 23. Reopening...
Yes this is still recurring on Fedora 23. I will try to get a stack trace again when it occurs next time. It seems to occur less often now.
Same on F22 currently. Release gnome-contacts-3.16.2-5.fc22.x86_64.
Is there an upstream bug filed for this? It is unlikely that relevant developers will see this if it stays downstream.
This one looks pretty similar. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747929
Happy (belated) third birthday, bug #919889.
Seen on Fedora 24 too (gnome-contacts-3.20.0-1.fc24.x86_64.rpm). I see the problem on a large CardDAV account and on a corporate Exhange account.
I still see this with gnome-contacts-3.20.0-1.fc24.x86_64 I have a backtrace from gdb this time using all threads. Since on my system the symptom is a massive memory leak I am attempting to see if I can trick it into starting under valgrind or a similar memory debugging tool next time it runs.

The problem is still seen in Fedora 25. The workaround i found is going to Settings->Search and disable the Contacts search. Hope there will be a better solution in the future.
I see this as well. As soon as I killed the process in system monitor, Fedora 25 was noticeably faster and more smooth.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. 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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
I don't believe this got fixed yet...
I haven't seen this bug in Fedora 26. Though I haven't added any external accounts yet. I'll give it a try.
The EWS Global Address List is the best way to trigger this, as it has a tendency to add tens or even hundreds of thousands of contacts in a single hit.
Yes, I haven't seen anything on this bug that suggests it is fixed. There's been Fedora end-of-life notices since 2013 which seems to close this bug each time.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle. Changing version to '27'.

Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Upstream bug has moved to GitLab and is still open: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-contacts/issues/62 And this is still happening in Fedora 31, which is not EOL. Could somebody re-open this (for some reason I can only comment)? One workaround is disabling EWS account global address list caching, removing the already downloaded cache and rebooting. => I think EWS global address list caching (in Evolution -> File -> Preferences -> Mail Accounts -> <EWS account> -> Receiving Options) should be disabled by default until this cache handling has been fixed.
