Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Hi,

Evolution is crashing on my pc today after selecting the "calendar" view. It was working fine before.
I tried reinstalling and "recursive-unset" of the gconf folder, but no success.

I made screenshots when starting from the cli and just before it crashes and will attach the created Crash-Reports.

If you need more information, just say, because I really have no idea. As I've said everything was fine a couple of days ago. In between there were 1-2 security updates of the "libcairo" packages, but I don't know if this could be related and yes I'm using compiz as my window manager, if this could help too.

And something else,

In the description above stays:
"ProcCmdline: evolution --component=mail"

but that is just because I started the crash report tool from within Evolution Mail. I have no problems with it or the other view.
It just only the "calendar" view, that crashes Evolution.

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 instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

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:

HI,

sending of a second crash report is not necessary anymore.

The problem is in the gtk-engine I am using (aurora 1.3). I was playing around and changed the engine to clearlooks and
Evolution is now no longer crashing, weird thing.

However, I will report this to the aurora engine developer so he can take a look into this.
