Before debugging, test what happens if you move or delete the cache.

First try

$ mv ~/.cache/evolution ~/.cache/evolution.BAK

and perhaps try

$ mv ~/.cache/ ~/.cache.BAK

PS: IIRC here was such an issue a few years ago. I'm an Arch user, but
sometimes I try to help newbies with real-time audio and caring about
Ubuntu Studio seems to be a good way to help novices. There was a GNOME
related cache issue, but I don't remember for what *buntu version.
