Hum. Re-reading my comment above I decided I did not fully explain the GDB runs I asked for. Here it is, hopefully clearer now.
It might help to have a sequence of GDB backtraces (for the same looping E-D-S). The worst possible outcome is it will not help any, and the best possible outcome is it will show us what is going on -- which means this may be fixed! So what I would like: 1* when you find yourself with a looping E-D-S, run GDB against it (easier if done from a terminal within the X session): % gdb -p `pidof evolution-data-server-2.22` 2* After GDB prints out the prompt, type in the following commands ('(gdb)' is the usual GDB prompt): (gdb) set pagination off (gdb) set logging file e-d-s-gdb.log (gdb) set logging on (gdb) set print pretty (gdb) set print array 3* Now the GDB loop starts: we need to print the currently-running thread, then all threads, then continue E-D-S (gdb) bt full [some output generated] (gdb) thread apply all bt [lots of lines printed out] (gdb) continue 4* E-D-S resumes its loop. Wait a bit, some few seconds (it does not really make any difference, since we do not know what is going on), then go back to step (3*) (after you enter GDB, you will have to CTRL-C to get the GDB prompt again). Do it some 5 times. 5* After the last set of commands in (3*), quit GDB: (gdb) quit 6* now you can cancel this E-D-S run: % evolution --force-shutdown And on the next Evo startup you should not see the loop. Until you reboot, at least... -- [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
