#177804 — Crashes in Icedove on Stretch

FromPaul van der Vlis <paul@vandervlis.nl>
Date2017-02-15 15:40 +0100
SubjectCrashes 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

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.

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

Have you tried installing the debug part of icedove?

package if you need to debug such a program or if you need a useful

No, I did not. And you are completely right, it would be good to do
that. There are a few backtraces in the bugs, but maybe not enough.

That does not sound good. I have been experiencing this for a while in
Jessie and I was hoping it would be fixed on Stretch :(

Getting a bit off-topic, but I have been assuming that icedove must still be
broken in stretch, because surely a fix will be backported to jessie once
there is one -- after all, it was a post-release jessie "update" that broke
icedove, so at some point a similar update should fix it.

That said, I had an icedove crash a few days ago, but it was the first time
for perhaps a month, whereas at one point it was happening several times per day.

I get random ID crashes, pretty well daily, but no consistently 
identifiable cause. 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).

Not sure if relevant, but I use ID with imap with a gmx.com account 
(Perhaps this last was obvious?)

I have three accounts configured in Icedove. 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).

Kind regards,
Daniel

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.

But why would I install an entire VM+OS like E.M.A.C.S. when Icedove has 
its own message composer/editor ?
if I wanted to use a different editor I'd be using MUTT with VIM. ;-)

In 45.6.0 (at least) in preferences ==> composition ==> save every X
minutes ... you can make it really small for all the text you can type
in subminute time :)

Thinking of this it may be at times where autosave takes place that it
crashes so the question becomes does it crash when at rest or when you
are editing a message?  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

Indeed. 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.

No. you're right. It is not obvious, in fact, I didn't know it could be 
done at all, tbh.
Sorry my attempt at humour was even less obvious, apparently.

It's a known bug in Jessie. My question is about Stretch.

With regards,
