Oddly enough, other GTK based programs start fine (Thunderbird, Firefox, etc.)
Also tested in Plasma & Gnome desktops

For me  downgrading  lib64wekitgtk3 to lib64webkitgtk3.0_0-2.4.9-3 solves this problem in evolution.

CC: (none) => jgomezgil

So something broke between the 2.4.9-3 and 2.4.9-4

Unfortunately, I can't find the 2.4.9-3 RPM on the web . . .

Maybe the package creator can see what has changed that broke things?

Assigning to packagers collectively. See also bug #17503 from same reporter, maybe a duplicate, probably a similar root cause.

CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud
Assignee: bugsquad => pkg-bugs

The latest GTK from Cauldron did not fix this bug - but bug #17503 is fixed now (after GTK updates) - so definitely NOT related issues!  May have something to do with the NVidia proprietary drivers

This issue still remains - even after latest Cauldron updates including new NVidia and kernel updates.

Still exists - after many Cauldron updates since the last 3 weeks.  Any progress being made??

Just updated from Cauldron - new Evolution available:  evolution                      3.19.91      1.mga6        x86_64  
evolution-data-server          3.19.91      1.mga6        x86_64  

Unfortunately, no change, problem still exists:


[rfox@foxbase ~]$ evolution 
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

(evolution:18440): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'evolution' received an X Window System error.

That last one doesn't look like it's using the right opengl libraries.

Problem still exists as of today's latest Cauldron updates - no progress :-(

This issue still applies with Dev 1 ISO

Performed a fresh install using M6 Dev 1 keeping original /home folder - issue still exists

Am I the only one with this issue?  I have tried several suggested solutions without resolve - can someone confirm this issue exists??  I have not been able to use Evolution on my main PC for months now!

Priority: Normal => High

No response to date on this bug - after today's Cauldron updates - still exists

This applies now only to Evolution - I created a bug on the Gnome bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766421

Looks like it could be something with clutter-gtk

For me this is a showstopper because I haven't been able to use Evolution since I reported this bug and it is my main email programm - have to use Thunderbird as a crutch, but no fun!

Cheers,
R.Fox

Look at comment #10:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766421#c10

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce this issue because I don't have a Mageia
installation on an nVidia machine (the only nVidia machine I have uses Ubuntu
and does not exhibit this crash).

The issue seems to be that Cogl or Clutter are trying to load the swrast driver
from Mesa, which means they are not using the nVidia libGL. This may point to
some installation issue with the nVidia binary blob driver, or with a build
issue of Cogl.

Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 6

We are in Freeze and still no resolve . . .

Assigning to clutter-gtk and cogl maintainer Shlomi, and CC'ing Thomas as it seem to be specific to the nvidia proprietary driver.

CC: (none) => pkg-bugs, tmb
Assignee: pkg-bugs => shlomif

Does this happen with the nouveau drivers as well? What about a VESA display driver? I hate having to deal with the problems caused by nvidia's proprietary drivers.

I have not tried nouveau - but this issue is fixed with Rhytembox - just nor Evolution - so I tend to believe this is something with the was evolution is compiled and libcutter / cogl

can you try to rebuild Evolution , then? See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mgarepo

I wish I could, but I never built packages before.  Just reporting issues in Cauldron - Sorry.

Robert, you're being uncooperative. The Ancient Greek used to say that "The gods help them that help themselves." and while I'm not a god it's hard for me to help people who won't help me help them. I suggest you try to learn how to build packages, so you can help me help you. Trust me - it's not that hard - it was much harder for me to complete my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in the Technion, and I did it as well.

Otherwise, do you have any suggestion other than to buy me an nvidia card for my machine here (it has a PCI-Express slot) so I can try to reproduce your problem locally?

Shlomi, I appreciate your comments, but I am not a package owner and I don't care to be.  Who is responsible for the Evolution package on Mageia?  This may not be a clutter-gtk issue, jut the way Evolution is compiled to use clutter-gtk

I am happy to announce that after the last Cauldron updates which included a new kernel and nvidia drivers this issue is resolved!!  Not sure who or what fixed it but I am grateful it works again!!  Cheers!!!

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Unfortunately, after the latest round of updates in Cauldron, this problem has reoccurred!!! I am unable to start evolution again:

Some questions:

1. Does it happen after a reboot?

2. Does it happen in a new unix user account?

3. Does it happen when running the IceWM window manager?

4. What are your device drivers?

1) Happens every time
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) although XFdrake says it installed the nvidia drivers - it appears it doesn't (something is missing

Here's a bit more:

[root@foxmain rfox]# modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_current': No such device
modprobe: ERROR: Error running install command for nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Operation not permitted

[root@foxmain rfox]# rpm -qa | grep nvidia
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-367.35-1.mga6.nonfree
dkms-nvidia-current-367.35-1.mga6.nonfree
nvidia-current-doc-html-367.35-1.mga6.nonfree

Looks like the system is defaulting to nouveau driver and not able to properly install the nvidia proprietary ones
I think there are certain kernel packages missing from the repos . . .

Not sure . . .

Update - Nouveau drivers work with effects and Evolution starts with them

NVidia drivers now build and load (after recent Cauldron updates) - but, KDE effects don't work and Evolution fails to start

Problem still exists after updating to latest Cauldron!

Hi Robert,

> Update - Nouveau drivers work with effects and Evolution starts with them

This indicates that this is likely a problem with the proprietary Nvidia drivers, which we cannot do too much about. You can try using a different version of the nvidia drivers and see if they work better for you, or use Nouveau for now. You may also try to bring this problem with the nvidia upstream and see if they can fix it for you (but I wouldn't be too hopeful about that). Do you have any other suggestions?

On my system with the Core i3 Intel Graphics, evolution starts fine and the KDE effects are working fine.

Oddly, this issue is not on a different system (with a different nvidia card) using proprietary drivers.  I have also filed a bug with Evolution as well - without success.  Guess I could try with nvidia - but it would be helpful if someone can confirm or deny this bug to help me figure out if it's just my problem alone!  Also, I have the latest LinuxMint 18 on this machine running latest NVidia drivers without issue - and Evolution works as well - So I suspect it has something to do with the way Mageia implements this . . .  Back to the drawing board I guess . . . . Thx

Where is the Evolution bug you reported? Furthermore, can you try giving us a gdb stacktrace of the crashing Evolution (with all debuginfo packages present)? See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Debugging_software_crashes .

As a workaround you can try changing 
Exec=evolution %U
by
Exec=env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nvidia/ evolution %U
in evolution.desktop

Thanks for the workaround - unfortunately, it didn't work :-(
I am noticing that when I install the NVidia drivers - I can't get the desktop effects to start under KDE anymore - so like in Yakuake - can't get the transparent background.  Maybe this has something to do with it.  Under Nouveau driver, evolution starts fine - as does the desktops effects . . . Hmmm.

For me the problems went away after I installed the official driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.44.run

YIPEEEE!!!  Just tested recent NVidia drivers from latest Cauldron updates - and it WORKS!!!  Then again, many things have changed in Cauldron (like GTK & Webkit) so not sure if just the drivers fixed it . . . . Just happy to have the NVidia working together with Evolution again!  

Now if we could only get this bug:  https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19470
fixed as well (seems to be webkit related) - then I can leave Thunderbird back to Evolution (my favourite!)

Cheers,
