OK, thanks for the help. The problem never returned. I still have some other bugs, but that one is gone.

Re: [Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
OK, this was strange. Out of the blue, Evolution popped up a handful of appointment alerts. So apparently part of the application was running in the background. I decided to attempt to launch Evolution and it launched correctly. It even showed the folder subscription that I had selected that seemed to be the initial source of the problems. I've since disabled those subscriptions in case those were the source of the problem. I don't know yet if it will continue to work, but for now, it is working. I'll let you know if the situation changes.

Weird indeed. Nevertheless I will keep the bug open, hoping that upstream can find something.

[Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
The gdb trace shows the problem on evolution-exchange, with e2k-result.c
@line 435 triggering it.
This is the piece of code that drives it:
e2k_results_free (E2kResult *results, int nresults)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i nresults; i++)
e2k_result_clear (results[i]);
g_free (results);
}
I understand, from your last comment, that you are running 2.22.3.1 now. Is
that correct?
Also -- you may probably bypass this error if you uninstall evolution-
exchange.

Re: [Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
The Exchange module is the reason that I am using Evolution. Otherwise
I might as well use Thunderbird. Am I the only person with this problem?

Re: [Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
I tried to start with a new user and I had the same problem. I then enabled the 'Proposed' repository so that I could update to the latest version. That doesn't seem to have helped either. Does evolution store settings someplace other than at /home/username/.evolution? I've tried to delete my '.evolution' folder and it seems to put all of the old settings back just like they were, but I can't figure out where it is pulling from. I've given up on repairing it. I thought I'd just start over but I can't even do that. I tried to purge evolution from my computer but it held some settings somewhere that I can't find.

Re: [Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
I tried to do this, but nothing happened. Have any other suggestions?

[Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
@Frank: yes, but it will be a bit painful... Chris' is correct, and it was a good catch from him. You will need to install both the evolution-exchange and evolution debug packages; then you can either run it again from the console, and attach the output here, or run evolution under gdb (from a console also). It seems, from the trace available, that evolution-exchage is causing the grief, but the trace is rather incomplete.

[Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
I installed the Evolution dbg package and reran the backtrace using GDB. It seemed to work a bit better this time. I've attached the backtrace. I hope that there is something in there that you can use. I did notice that the console generated an error message when I launched Evolution about being unable to connect to subscribed folders. That was the last thing that I changed before I started having problems, so that is a likely suspect. I tried to subscribe to a public folder on our exchange server. But it didn't seem to work. I thought that I unsubscribed before restarting Evolution, but maybe I missed something. Evolution started using GDB, but it would not allow me to access the Exchange Server. My Gmail account appeared to be working though. ** Attachment added: GDB backtrace with Evolution-exchange debug package installed http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15969814/gdb-evolution.txt -- Evolution fails to launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 247067] Re: Evolution fails to launch
hggdh: If Evolution is aborting because of the memory error, then I don't think Apport will catch that. It currently doesn't generate crash reports for SIGABRT, so Frank would probably need to obtain a backtrace with all the relevant debug symbols installed. -- Evolution fails to launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
