[Evolution] UI freezing
I'm pretty sure this didn't used to happen, but recently I've been noticing the UI freezing for a few seconds quite regularly. It happens while I'm composing a message, and also if I switch IMAP folders, often when the Storing ... string appears on the lower edge status line. At first I thought it could be because my Drafts folder is remote, or because I use a slow LDAP server, but turning off both these things made no difference. Is there a problem with multi-threading or did I just not ntoice this before? I'm currently on 2.10.3 under Fedora 7 with KDE 3.5.7. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Re: [Evolution] UI freezing
The problem I reported earlier about deadlocking etc., had nothing to do with freezing - but that also is a new phenomenon that has only been happening to me recently. I'll be typing away in a new message and all of a sudden no more characters and Everything freezes. Then after a long time (15 seconds or so) all my buffered characters spit out. While in a freeze, the window will move but not repaint. If I drag it around a lot while it is frozen (trying to wake it up I suppose :-)), it will crash. I've only seen this on my primary home computer, a dual AMD Opteron 252, but never on my work computer, a Intel core2duo E6600. They have identical software: FC6 with the 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 kernel and Evo 2.8.3 and the same other packages loaded. The only software difference is at work I exclusively use an IMAP client, while at home I primarily use a POP3 client. That makes sense, because I have a sneaking suspicion these locks and freezes are associated with I/O. -- Brian L Scipioni [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 2007-08-07 at 13:06 -0400, Patrick O'Callaghan wrote: On Tue, 2007-08-07 at 10:48 -0400, Daniel Gryniewicz wrote: On Tue, 2007-08-07 at 07:18 -0400, Patrick O'Callaghan wrote: I'm pretty sure this didn't used to happen, but recently I've been noticing the UI freezing for a few seconds quite regularly.

I am running Intel Core2Due 1.6 FC7 and 2.11.4 however it was happening to me on FC6 as well for some time now. I've just been living with it. What happens in my case is I get the Freeze and sometimes in comes back and sometimes it Passes Out window greys out. I have to force quiet the application then restart it usually that works ok. I am using IMAP with all of my email accounts except one where I am using exchange. Occasionally I get this cycle where it passes out almost right away. I have to use the kill command and kill the evolution-data-server-1.12 evolution-exchange-storage evolution-alarm-notify and the client if its running or hung and restart evolution, then it starts up fast and everything is cool until it happens again. One thing I noticed by fluke, if I set both CPU's to 798 or just turn off on demand CPU the passing out happens less if at all. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] UI freezing
This seems to be exactly the behaviour I've seen, though I couldn't swear to the crash part as I tend to go off and do something else when the freeze happens. However my machine is a Core2Duo and nearly all my mail is on an IMAP server.

My Bad. I did not have Show status bar checked. I do get a Learning Junk message there.
