Public bug reported: On 1st start on a clean install (or suitably wiped akonadi configs), Kmail (or Kontact with Kmail integrated) crashes on 1st run with:
org.kde.pim.akonadicore: Failed SpecialCollectionsRequestJob::slotResult "Invalid parent" org.kde.pim.mailcommon: "The Email program encountered a fatal error and will terminate now.\nThe error was:\nInvalid parent" Kmail will launch and run on subsequent starts. TO REPRODUCE: Requires a pristine install with NO config files or db created yet (live iso is fine) OR stop akonadi with 'akonadictrl stop' and do: rm -fr ~/.local/share/akonadi* ~/.cache/akonadi* ~/.config/akonadi* ~/.config/specialmailcollectionsrc then launch kmail. removing ~/.config/specialmailcollectionsrc (which would not exist in pristine install) seems crucial, as leaving that in place results in no crash. ** Affects: kmail Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: kmail (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: kmail (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: kmail (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: kmail (Ubuntu Disco) Status: New => Confirmed ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #380171 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380171 ** Also affects: kmail via https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380171 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Description changed: On 1st start on a clean install (or suitably wiped akonadi configs), Kmail (or Kontact with Kmail integrated) crashes on 1st run with: org.kde.pim.akonadicore: Failed SpecialCollectionsRequestJob::slotResult "Invalid parent" org.kde.pim.mailcommon: "The Email program encountered a fatal error and will terminate now.\nThe error was:\nInvalid parent" Kmail will launch and run on subsequent starts. - Requires a pristine install with NO config files or db created yet + + TO REPRODUCE: + + Requires a pristine install with NO config files or db created yet (live + iso is fine) OR stop akonadi with 'akonadictrl stop' and do: rm -fr ~/.local/share/akonadi* ~/.cache/akonadi* ~/.config/akonadi* ~/.config/specialmailcollectionsrc then launch kmail. removing ~/.config/specialmailcollectionsrc (which would not exist in pristine install) seems crucial, as leaving that in place results in no crash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821868 Title: Kmail (or Kontact) crashes on 1st run on a fresh system: Failed SpecialCollectionsRequestJob::slotResult "Invalid parent" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kmail/+bug/1821868/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
