Bugzilla – Bug 158002
evolution is unstable (collection bug)
Last modified: 2007-11-05 13:41:21 UTC
Evolution is far from being a mail client for enterprise desktop, at least on AMD64. While using it for daily work in the GNOME desktop, it crashes about 10 times daily: Bug 117813 - evolution-data-server regularly crashes == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333738 Bug 100135 - regular memory-hungry crashes of evolution == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257930 random crash on exit == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334053 More bugs and backtraces will come.
clicking to mailer window often crashes == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334633
Assigning the bug to myself.
There is another often seen crash: crash when clicking on the email list's headers == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331871
Clicking to virtual folder crashes == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334672
random crash after clicking to folder icon == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334876 random crash on start == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334877
Evolution does not survive D-BUS system bus restarts. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=150042#c29
This is not a crasher, but complicates work with Groupwise: groupwise summary lies about unread mails == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335489
Veerapuram, will those issues get addressed by monday?
AJ, Most of these crashers will get resolved by monday. Few others are quite random and their stacktraces doesn't suggest anything obvious. (Like the ones crashing in bonobo_main() etc). Also, I have submitted fixes for many other random crashers (today). Adding other developers to the cc'list.
@Stanislav: I have created a test-snapshot with lots of fixes for random-crashers + GW mailer related bugs. it can be scp'ed from nld10:nld10@vvaradhan-test.blr.novell.com:~/nld10-evo-snaps/mar-23 Thanks.

Things going better. Thanks. With the latest snapshot, only following above mentioned crashes were observer: Bug 117813 - evolution-data-server regularly crashes == http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333738 And adding one optional bug to fix. Not blocker not crasher, only bleeding edge Novell technology incompatibility: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336342
I think most issues are fixed now, so let's downgrade this.
Hi, there hasnb't been any activity here for quite a while. Yet this bug is marked critical. In which shape are we for RC1? Could someone please post a summary? Thanks!
I guess the only bug remaining in this list is the EDS crash on LDAP backends. So reassigning to the addressbook people.
What is the status here? This bug has seen no activity for a couple of months. Please state how to proceed - or whether this can be marked fixed. Also please put it into status "ASSIGNED" if you accept it!
AFAIK most listed bugs are already fixed with exception of dependent bugs: bug 100135, bug 117813
The two dependend bugs are normal and major. So, this can only be major itself. I marked the normal bug as major now.
I'm leaving Novell. If TPM assistance is needed, please ask Joachim Plack (AMD related issues) or Oliver Ries (general x86_64/i386) for assitance.
One remaining dependent bug, since moved to the openSUSE 11.0 product ( Bug 100135 ). Is it worth keeping a collection bug open for a single bug?
No. Only the gtkhtml memory-hungry crash issue is still not fixed, all others issues are fixed. We don't need this collection bug any more. Removing bug 100135 from dependency tree and marking as fixed.
