Re: Evolution 3.10.4 and Fedora 20
I have also observed this problem, not just in Evolution, but also in Firefox. In my case, the problem appears to be either (a) mail and web pages that contain images or videos that have problematic render engines on Linux, or (b) massive processor overload when web pages that have a large number of videos on them (such as Facebook) try to render them all simultaneously without limiting the resource utilization. Because the problems are across more than one client application, I suspect that the problem is actually an inability to limit resource utilization by the desktop - in my case Gnome. It has been like this for quite a few Fedora releases now, and other than getting away from Gnome, I'm not sure what else to do. On an underpowered dual-core, these lockups are devastating, and sometimes even require an ACPI reboot to recover from. On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 8:03 PM, Gregory P.

See https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list poc Patrick, Thanks for your response. My mistake in not stipulating the desktop; I am using a gnome desktop. I had searched the evolution list, but did not see an entry similar to my problem. Since this problem not only 'freezes' the evolution display, but also freezes the entire gui, I thought starting here would be better. (Sorry about the use of 'freeze', but I can not think of a better word). Unfortunately, this problem is occurring on more than one machine, and it has happened to me as well; I would suspect that this affects others too. I will wait a couple of days before I post this on the evolution list to see if others have had this problem here.
