I'm a Linux user, not a Linux developer. It's hard to get useful information when Evolution does crash. When Evolution does run without issues there are already tons of confusing messages, for example, today Evolution run without an issue, while not sorting by subject. When everything is ok [1]. I deleted the contend of the .xsession-errors files and tried to forced a crash by sorting by subject, running Evolution in a terminal emulation. _No_ crash, it took a very long time to sort by subject and Evolution became unresponsive during sorting. Nothing was ad to .xsession-errors and the only output after starting Evolution was: (evolution:9200): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files It's not that easy to _use_ something and to troubleshoot. At the moment I'm willing to disassemble my computer to troubleshoot a kernel issue. I will do this, when I don't need the computer, but usually I need this computer and the Evolution bug(s) appear from time to time, not when I decide to troubleshoot. What can a user do, to _use_ the machine and to troubleshoot? Linux isn't my hobby, I'm using Linux as a tool. More precise, what should I do to troubleshoot the Evolution bug?
