I'm seeing this problem all the time with Hardy. $ apt-cache policy evolution evolution: Installed: 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.22.2-0ubuntu1.2 0 500 http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu hardy-security/main Packages 2.22.1-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu hardy/main Packages
$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 Codename: hardy Usually Evolution hangs on "Formatting Message..." several times a day, it never recovers but I can read emails by double clicking on them. The type of email doesn't seem to be a trigger, sometimes it's on HTML emails, sometimes on plaintext. It's not reproducible, if evolution hangs on a message, and I kill it with "/usr/bin/evolution --force-shutdown", and restart, I'll be able to display the problem message just fine. I'm using Evolution to connect to my company's Exchange server. Anyway, I finally got annoyed enough to run it under gdb. Strangely, it didn't hang for an entire day when I did this, and actually seemed much more responsive. After about 24 hours it hung and I ctrl-c'd it from gdb and got a backtrace with "thread apply all bt". The issue appears to be in thread 1273. ** Attachment added: "Evolution Backtrace" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17513858/backtrace.txt -- evolution hangs after several hours https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175233 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
