[Evolution] Evolution segfault creating or modifying repeating calendar entry

2009-08-06 Thread Jeff Nelson 

Platform: Ubuntu 09.04 (Jaunty)
evolution: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2
libecal1.2-7: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2
libedata-cal1.2-6: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2
libedataserver1.2-11: 2.26.1-0ubuntu2

I'm creating a calendar entry and want it to repeat. The calendar entry 
is in the local (Personal) calendar. The steps used to create are as 
follows:


Launch evolution
Click: Calendar icon in lower left corner
Click: "Week View"
Right-click within "Monday 03 August" and select: "New Appointment"
Fill in appointment details as follows:
Summary: Meeting
Time: 19:00 for 2 hours 30 minutes
Time zone: America/Chicago
Click: Recurrence
Click: checkbox for "this appointment recurs"
Click: "day(s)" and change to "week(s)"
Click: "for" and change to "forever"
Click: Close
Click: Save

evolution crashes with a segfault. The code is trying to fetch a value 
from memory location 0. Oops.


Here is a log with debugging symbols loaded. After the segfault is a 
backtrace, integer register values and 10 instructions that surround the 
one that fails.


The log shows an attempt to modify the existing entry so it will repeat. 
Lines prefixed with # are commentary on what I was doing at the time. I 
have removed the thread messages (New Thread, Thread exited) that were 
printed at evolution startup.


Suggestions on where to go next are appreciated. I can reproduce this at 
will and would be happy to provide additional gdb output upon request.


Thanks!

-Jeff

[Evolution] Deleting a thread

2009-08-06 Thread Scott 
Is there any way how to delete a thread with one single key combination?
It is a little annoying doing a Ctrl-H and then delete every time.

Han,

A belated thanks for the tip. I've started using it and it seems to
work sometimes with one or the other, but not both. Part of my problem
at the moment is figuring out the best calendar to use for originating
an entry. I should say that I've also set up Google's calendar to sync
with my Blackberry. It seems as though Google and Evolution on one
laptop sync, but the calendar entries I originate on Google fail to
show up on Evolution on the second laptop. 

Anyway, thanks again for your response!

With best regards,

Pete
