Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Changed in evolution (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Invalid

Hello
I am running the standard gnome Ubuntu and have Apport is enabled, but it seems the crash isn't caught by it!

Regarding reproducability:
I forgot to mention that the crash happens with a Google calendar (sorry about that). I tested the same procedure with a local calendar without issues, but the same with a Google calendar crashes every time.

Thanks

Read post on planet Ubuntu this morning:
"Don't report bug directy to Launchpad, run ubuntu-bug instead"

Good advice. Please Pedro, close this bug and continue with bug #353226 instead.

Thanks
