I am also experiencing the same problem after I have upgraded to Karmic. Up till now, everything was solid and responsive. whenever I open Evolution and attempt to attach a photo (approx 1.3 - 1.5 mb) the Evolution windows will go gray, the cpu utilization will hit 100%, and if I leave it overnight, it still doesn't resolve itself. I have to kill Evolution. I am able to use Mozilla Firefox and a gmail account to send the files, but ever since Karmic, this problem persists.
I'm using a Dell laptop (XPS M1330, Ubuntu 9.10, kernel: 2.6.31-16-generic, GNOME 2.28.1, 3.4GiB, Processor 0 and Processor 1 are both intel core 2 duo T5550 @ 1.83Ghz). This also happens if I attempt to right-click on a file (photo) and select "Send to". I get the dialog box, and if I'm lucky, I can send 1 picture. Otherwise when I enter the recipient, and the window switches to Evolution, it will gray out and everything will slow down. If I don't attempt to attach any of the photos to an email, everything else appears to be stable and functioning. -- Evolution freezes when adding attachement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476729 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
