Subject: [gentoo-desktop] Evolution crash question
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2006 01:42:12
Message-Id: 20060719013643.GC23572@fmp.com
1 After a major system upgrade, evolution is now freezing on startup with the
2 following messages:
3
4 $ evolution mail
5 Bonobo accessibility support initialized
6 GTK Accessibility Module initialized
7 CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...
8
9 (evolution-2.6:11126): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with
10 NULL parameter.
11 *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbfe175b0 ***
12
13
14 I had problems with evolution freezing/crashing, reporting calls to free() on
15 an invalid pointer before, and upgraded from evo 2.4 to 2.6 a few weeks ago
16 when the latter was still ~x86. 2.6 worked OK before the system upgrade, but
17 it's now behaving like v2.4 did, at least it is when invoked from a KDE Konsole
18 window (gnome is down at the moment).
19
20 Two questions:
21
22 1. Does anyone know how to fix the problem and make evolution-2.6.2 run, or
23 have any suggestions of things I might try?
24
25 2. If not, can someone recommend another Linux groupware suite with the same
26 capabilities and which can (hopefully) import the calendar files from
27 evolution?
28
29 It may be worth noting that if I set MALLOC_CHECK_=0, evolution crashes instead
30 of freezing and offers to run bug-buddy. If I click "Inform developers",
31 bug-buddy gets invoked and it also crashes.
32
33 I'm running this stuff under KDE, pending a repair and restoration of my gnome
34 desktop. It may work better in gnome, I don't know.
