| Subject | Crashes in Icedove on Stretch |
| Message-ID | <tb8Uq-1ae-23@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hello, Many peope (not all) have problems because Icedove crashes since an update last year. Icedove on my laptop with Debian stable crashes random about one time per week. I have many customers with Debian stable and oldstable. Most of them have problems with a crashing Icedove. I have also workstations here where Icedove has never crashed. What I want to ask, is what the latest situation is when using Stretch (testing). I know a few people who are using Stretch and they all told me they have no problems with a crashing Icedove. What is your experience? With regards, Paul van der Vlis -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/

Ι've had it happen to me but very rarely and this is a wild shot that may relate the problem to a certain activity. Are all of your icedove folders on the default home/. directory or do you store some folders in other local or network drives? My theory revolves around the mounting and unmounting volumes of storage or them not responding fast enough and some threshold intolerance to disk response in icedove makes it crash. Possibly for security reasons .. I don't know. I am not confident of this but as a different user unmounts and remounts the same volume where icedove stores a mail folder at some point later icedove crashes. The occasion when it happens is too infrequent for me to research it as a problem. No signs of any data loss or corruption. I assume there is some log file somewhere in the maze where it records the crashing condition. I hope this may help and not confuse the issue. > With regards, > Paul van der Vlis Kat -- "The most violent element in society is ignorance" rEG

No, everything is in a very normal homedirectory without shares over the network.

There are a few backtraces in the bugs, but maybe not enough. With regards, Paul -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/

It really seems to be occurring very randomly, I'll just be reading messages when suddenly *pop* it dies like a soap bubble on a Christmas tree, no error msg, no prior indication of instability, etc.; Just sudden, random crashing. It generally comes right back up without issue and functions normally afterwards. Thankfully, it rarely does it while I'm composing a message, that would REALLY annoy me, and I would likely have already appeared here seeking a solution to the problem, but since, so far, it hasn't caused me any real loss, but rather just minor annoyance, I haven't mentioned it, until now. I am using Jessie, Icedove v. 45.6.0 at the moment, on AMD64; My system is otherwise generally stable (with the exception of occasional unexplained hiccoughs in the sound system, for which I have sought help on the list, and which I can resolve with a reboot...again, annoying, but not a high priority issue).

Two accounts on my local IMAP server, and other IMAP account on GMX. But I do not think it have to do with the GMX account because I have experienced this issue also when browsing my local emails or it has also died suddenly without any kind of interaction (I think).

If you compose in an editor like emacs, it auto-saves periodically. With your email tmpdir set to /var/tmp, these will even survive reboots. Cheers, David.

Does it crash while reaching a pop or an imap server, does it crash while trying to reach a specific server, does it crash while trying to reach mozilla for an update .. I never liked vi although in general life I really like OLD things, like a bike from the 70s or a blender from the 50s -- "The most violent element in society is ignorance" rEG

But you wrote "Thankfully, it rarely does it while I'm composing a message". So someone else (we're on a list) might appreciate the advice. I was under the impression that changing the composition editor in ID was not immediately obvious. Perhaps I'm out of date here. Cheers, David.
