 Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2003 4:38 pm Post subject: Evolution crashing on attachments |
 |
|
I'm running Evolution 1.0.8, gentoo 1.4, gcc 3.2.1, and CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-loop-opt -frerun-cse-after-loop -falign-functions=4"
Whenever I try to attach something, evolution-mail crashes and i get this message | Quote: | | The Evolution component that handles folders of type "mail" has unexpectedly quit. You will need to quit Evolution and restart in order to access that data again |
I've tried remerging evolution. I've also tried setting my CFLAGS less aggressively and remerging. The only thing I don't know is if there is something that evolution needs that is compiled with the aggressive CFLAGS.
I've also ran evolution from the console to try and grab any error output, but saw nothing.
I've been using Evolution for quite a long time and have been able to attach things in the past (and i'm pretty sure with 1.0.8 ). The only thing I can think of that I did to my system was udpate my CLFAGS (for which an emerge -e world only made it half way).
Any ideas?

I have had the same problem.. There's been a few other threads where this has been mentioned, and it seems that no-one has any clue as to why it's happenning.. I just moved to KMail since I run KDE anyways..
There are at least 5 -6 people I've counted throughout posts who've had this problem, but I think we're just out of luck..
Josh.

Took me a while to figure this out.
| Code: | | edit /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic and comment out all lines with a pattern type of "belong" |
this works. promise. |

It works! Thank you!
I made a small script to automate the changes and save a backup in case it is needed.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
if [ ! -e /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic ]; then
echo "CANT FIND /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic"
exit -1
fi
mv /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic.old
sed 's:\(^\(.*\)belong\(.*\)\):#\1:' /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic.old > \
/etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic
echo "/etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic has been fixed"
echo "A backup has been made in /etc/gnome-vfs-mime-magic.old"
exit

 Sorry, it doesen't work for me.
I commented out:
<pattern_type> is (byte | short | long | string | date | beshort |
belong | bedate | leshort | lelong | ledate).
there was nothing else to comment out.
Maybe I have a different problem:
I received a mail with an attachment (video-file) of about 1 MB.
When I try to open it, Evolution 1.0.8 crashes immediately ("Speicherzugriffsfehler") I think it is the same as "segmentation fault". Sometimes evolution crashes so hard, that I can't even stop X (ctrl+Alt+backspace) and I can't even kill the process "evolution-mail" via "top".
Some information on my hardware: AMD Duron 1100, I configured it as an AMD "XP" as suggested in the example-configuration.
Elsa Erazor III with "nvidia"-Module, ASUS A7V.
With Mandrake 8.1 I had never any problems with attachments, maybe, because I used sylheed and not evolution  It's the first time I'm working with evolution.
So I have to use Sylpheed once again, until the bug is fixed or I can upgrade to version 1.2.1 !?

Have you tried KMail? I find it has most of hte functions that Evolution has, and better message searching..
I moved to KMail cause evolution kept crashing, but now I have gotten to like it more than evo

Now it works. I should have used the script before I change something manually 
Maybe it's a question of belief: but I am a nearly 100 % GNOME-user ( I worked with kmail since kde 2.2) but I don't like the style (or may I better say the lookout) of KDE/qt-based programs. GNOME looks much more pretty than KDE and doesen't remind me to M$-Windows
But thank's anyway for proposing "kmail".
Some questions to evolution 1.2: I've gentoo 1.4rc2 and when I tried to say emerge -u evolution no update was found !? Or did you compile it "manually" with configure, make, make install ? Does it run more stable than 1.0.8 ?

I had actually tried installing 1.2 when I had my problems, I just ran
emerge -p /usr/portage/net-mail/evolution/evolution-1.2.1.ebuild
then take away the p of course =)

That should work, but you may have to pin some packages down in /var/cache/edb/world or next time you emerge -u world it will downgrade evolution and any packages needed by evo.
To pin down, find the package in /var/cache/edb/world and do something like this: | Code: | | >=net-mail/evolution-1.2.1 |
You can use the same method for any package. And if you need to pin a package thats not in there, just add it.

When I do this, the following occurs:
bash-2.05b# emerge /usr/portage/net-mail/evolution/evolution-1.2.1.ebuild

!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.7" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "net-mail/evolution-1.2.1" [ebuild])
!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.
I had to update severall packages, like bonobo and so on, but the dependencies won't disappear.
Then I tried:
bash-2.05b# emerge -p --update world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

if you go into /usr/portage/profiles/packages.mask, there will be a line that says gtkhtml on it.. comment that line out, then you will be able to emerge evolution 1.2.1
