Added a note upstream. @all: we have never been able to zero in the cause. I cannot reproduce it, so I am sort of limited. If you are hit by this:
(1) please install the debug packages for E-D-S, libc6, glib, bonobo and orbit. As of right now these are the packages for Hardy (adjust as needed between i386, AMD64, etc): libbonobo2-0-dbgsym_2.22.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb libc6-dbgsym_2.7-10ubuntu3_amd64.ddeb libglib2.0-0-dbgsym_2.16.3-1_amd64.ddeb liborbit2-dbgsym_1%3a2.14.12-0.1_amd64.ddeb evolution-data-server-dbgsym_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb libegroupwise1.2-13-dbgsym_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb libedata-cal1.2-6-dbgsym_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb libecal1.2-7-dbgsym_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb libedata-book1.2-2-dbgsym_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb libebook1.2-9-dbgsym_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb libedataserver1.2-9-dbgsym_2.22.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.ddeb Of course, the equivalent .dbg can also be used. (2) please do not post GDB backtraces if the above debug packages are not installed. Without debug symbols there is *nothing* usable in a backtrace. (3) this is a loop condition, I guess everybody agrees with that. A GDB backtrace provides a *static* view of where the code was at the moment GDB interrupted it. Unfortunately, this is helpful, but not enough: I still do not know if a single thread is looping, or threads are being created and destroyed. Some backtraces show actual E-D-S code in (for example, pete's comment above, thread #3), others do *not* show Evo code. It would be helpful if one of you went through GDB in a series of (interrupt, bt full, thread apply all bt) -- this might give us more details on what code paths are being used. (4) What we need is a commonality, something similar to all. By some comments, this seems to affect people using calendars. I set myself with a google calendar, and still I cannot reproduce it. It would also be interesting to know what architecture you are running under. (5) finally, you should consider commenting on the upstream bug. -- [MASTER] E-D-S hangs on login and uses 100% cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
