I use opensuse 11 x86_64 with kontact Version 1.3 from the opensuse 11 repo. Kontact use to work without this problem but since my workstation ip changed, i get a constant error:
Hi Chris I'm the Kontact maintainer at Novell. Does this happen whenever your workstation's IP changes, or did the IP address only change once and the problem continues to manifest whenever you run Kontact although the IP address is now constant?
connection to the server <servername> was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be established automatically if possible"
And in fact, some times it does get re-established but other times, kontact crashes.
Some things i have done to try to fix this:
-tried just kmail->same problem
-delete existing account and recreated the email account->same problem
-other email clients work fine
-updated kontact from the opensuse repo->same problem
-uninstall kontact/kmail and its dependencies. then delete all kmail/kontact folders. Reinstall kmail/kontact->same problem
(no debugging symbols found)
-reformat hdd and reinstall opensuse 11 with kontact->same problem
So it's an endemic problem to the kmail component of Kontact. Let's try to get to the bottom of this.
So, i would like to now know where to look on the workstation for kontact error logs? /var/log/messages (i don't see anything in there)?
I have also looked into the mail server logs for errors and found some java errors that happen around the same time of the error on the workstation. I restarted the mail server services and do not get that java error but still get the error on the workstation/kontact. I use zimbra 5.0.4 OSS as a mail server. I have asked over at their forums and they don't have an answer either.
Is there anyone here who can help me find out how to fix this error? I really want to use kontact. Here is the backtrace of the crash when i get that message and click "OK":
Application: Kontact (kontact), signal SIGSEGV
[?1034h(no debugging symbols found)
<snip> It shouldn't crash when ok'ing that message. Can you install kdelibs3-debuginfo and kdepim3-debuginfo and file a bug report with a new backtrace (showing line numbers) please? regards Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
