Reminder : when clicking the Save to Disk attachment menu-item, Evolution would freeze, except when strace'ed or gdb'ed. Today's news : I installed Ximian RedCarpet which comes with Evolution and Gnome. While in Gnome, I opened the Gnome Control Center, and decided to change the background image. When I clicked the Browse button, the same dreaded freeze happened. The problems seems to be related to Mandrake security utility msec. When setting security level to anything below 4, everything's fine : Evolution saves, and gnomecc browses... but msec 4, and here are the freezes. Ok, I'm seeing these problem here.. I'll investigate and make sure Mandrake packages are fixed for Mdk 9.0 (and of course, I'll forward the patches to relevent authors).. It is probably a problem with oaf, since we have found a similar problem in ORBit2.. -- Frederic Crozat MandrakeSoft ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
RE: [Evolution] Evolution crashes when attempting to saveattachment
Hello again, News: I've just removed all evolution packages, and rm -Rf'ed the ~/evolution dir. I reinstalled evolution (1.0.8-3mdk) and went on again with gdb etc. In case it's not clear, as it appeared in your last message, gdb is not locking up my machine, evolution is. I'm quite definite about that. I just tried something else. I straced evolution-mail, then ran evolution (strace showed the trace progressing as new threads of evolution-mail were loaded)... and, it went fine. What I'm trying to highlight here is this : Evolution ran on it's own crashes while attempting to save attachment to disk. BUT : if evolution-mail was loaded before with gdb or strace, the attachment save goes fine. This is the most I could get, so maybe you can sort something out of this strange observation. Obviously, I won't be able to get you a trace of the crash, because everytime I trace it, it works fine ...

These crashes might be caused by our way of packaging software : by default, all packages in MandrakeLinux are fully stripped.. And it can cause gdb to have a strange behaviour.. Try rebuilding evolution package from the source package and add export DONT_STRIP=1 in the evolution specfile, just after %install line.. It will prevent spechelper to strip evolution and you should be able to have a better stack trace.. You should also check if all your packages are correctly installed..

No need to gdb as root just do this: killev; gdb evolution-mail (gdb) run wait ~10 seconds or so... in another terminal start evolution now when evolution freezes, there is no need to race to start gdb, since gdb is already attached to the evolution-mail process. in gdb, just type: (gdb) thread apply all bt Jeff On Fri, 2002-08-30 at 15:19, Romain wrote: Ok, sorry, looks like I could not make myself clear...
