Every so often, randomly, 2 or 3 times per week, evolution stops responding to every kind of input: keyboard, clicking on messages, clicking on menu items, etc.
what version of Evolution and what distribution do you use? Ah, 3.10.4 and Fedora 20 from the end of your message.
Except that cover and uncover events work properly; the screen is repainted as needed when part of an evolution window is uncovered. Process CPU usage is at real time or a little faster (indicating that it's using more than one processor). Has anyone else seen something like this? System is 4 processor AMD x86_64 running Fedora-20 with all updates installed Evolution is version 3.10.4
Do you have a way to upgrade to Evolution 3.12.8, so we can figure out
if it has been fixed in the meantime?
At any rate, you should submit a bug report to the GNOME Bugzilla bug
tracker. Try to install the debug packages, and next time, it locks up
again, try to run `perf top` to see what is happening.
Then stop the output and attach with GDB to get a backtrace.
$ ps aux | grep evolution # get process ID
$ gdb --pid thepid
(gdb) set logging on /tmp/20141115--evolution--backtrace.txt
(gdb) t a a bt full
(gdb) exit
Make sure the log does not contain your passwords (it shouldn’t, but
better be safe than sorry) and paste that to the bug report.
Thanks,
Paul
