Problem: For some users using the evolution-data-server backend, beagled might stop responding. This will cause beagle-search and other apps talking to beagle like gtkfilechooser or nautilus to also hang :-( The obvious symptom is 'begale-ping' will not return. beagled can only be killed with 'kill -9'.
Bugs: (beagle) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529262 depends on (evolution-sharp) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519284 and (mono) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381928 Workaround: Disable the evolution-data-server backend till the evolution-sharp bug is fixed. Explanation: See the bug reports for details. In short, a C library of evolution-sharp crashes. This would generally result in beagled crashing and aborting which is bad but at least won't hang programs trying to connect to beagled. However, mono tries to print a debug stacktrace when beagled crashes and then itself hangs (amusing :P). We are trying to work around the mono problem i.e. we will let beagled 'safely crash'. We are also trying to make libbeagle robust against such hanged beagled; it already tries to connect to beagled in a non-blocking mode but still faces the problem so it definitely needs some more work. -- ----------------------------------------------------- Debajyoti Bera @ http://dtecht.blogspot.com beagle / KDE fan Mandriva / Inspiron-1100 user _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
