[gentoo-user] evolution segfaults

[gentoo-user] evolution segfaults

[Michael Sullivan]

I have tried everything I can think of to figure this out.  On my wife's
computer, when evolution starts, the GUI flashes onto the screen and
then segfaults.  I have three lines of terminal output:

amy@catherine ~ $ evolution
** (evolution:19607): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s
** (evolution:19607): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution
Segmentation fault

Nothing shows up in ~/.xsession-errors.  Not much shows up
in /var/log/messages:

catherine X11 # grep evolution /var/log/messages

She's using:

catherine X11 # emerge -pv evolution

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/evolution-2.24.5  USE="crypt dbus hal nntp
ssl -debug -kerberos -krb4 -ldap -mono -networkmanager -pda -profile" 0
kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB


The weird thing is that this segfault doesn't happen if I ssh over from
my computer and open evolution.  I checked her /var/log/Xorg.0.log and
there are no errors there.  I have completed emerge -e evolution hoping
that it would fix the problem, but it didn't.  Any advice?

emerge -1pv libcamel-provider   ???

Why hal?

Did you look in the gdm logs? (In /var/log/gdm)

Note that I've had trouble on my wife's machine with segfaults since
the xorg-server upgrade. I just downgraded my compiler and rebuilt the
machine. Waste of time so far. Segfaults are still there.

A regular revdep-rebuild didn't come up with anything.  I'll try the
libcamel-provider though.

Can you post ulimit -a and free output ?
It seems that you don't have enough memory which cause the kernel to kill
your evolution process (according to the first /var/log/messages you post)

If the computer doesn't have enough RAM NOW, why did evolution work just
fine for the past four years?
