gnomefreakasac: file a ug report :)07:13
gnomefreakbug even07:13
=== gnomefreak trying to get caught up with bugs today
Admiral_Chicagoasac: well, with crashes we close most of them because they aren't reproduceable07:14
Admiral_Chicagosecondly, many of them are due to flash, totem, et al07:14
asacaha ... is flash, totem a temporary issue or a regression?07:15
Admiral_Chicagonot sure what you mean07:15
asacI mean ... since when get that 'many' crash reports filed that are due to flash? was this introduced by some recent upload?07:18
Admiral_Chicagoasac: no, it was fixed by a recent upload (Flash player 9) that was updated after 2 years07:20

=== gnomefreak really needs to find a local to report a bug on for ff
Admiral_Chicagognomefreak: which one07:21
Admiral_Chicagooh i see07:22
gnomefreakthe bug above for you to opinion on07:22
Admiral_Chicagoi don't understand this statement "ounds like you had to click the emtpy space becasue the firefox window wasnt the focused window."07:25
gnomefreakAdmiral_Chicago: if you have terminl open with firefox behind it that key combo wont do anything (firefox in background == not focused07:26
gnomefreak)*07:26
Admiral_Chicagookay so I have a window open (gobby) and gobby focus. Fx is in the background, no focus. then what am I supposed to do07:28
gnomefreakhe states he has to click on ff background anywhere than use the key combo. makes me think he has window open infront of ff07:30
asacassume you have firefox open ... click on the desktop next to it -> window gets deactivated ... loses focus .... then no input will go to ffox07:31
gnomefreakso try it without clicking on ff background07:31
Admiral_ChicagoI had Akregator open in front of it (with focus) and I hit ctrl + W and nothing happened07:32
gnomefreakcorrectme if im wrong but to use ff under wine you need windows version of ff and windows version of flash coorect?07:32
Admiral_Chicagoyes07:32
gnomefreakAdmiral_Chicago: thats what makes me think it is users fault07:33
gnomefreakgood :)07:33
Admiral_Chicagognomefreak: seems like we don't want an unfocused window reacting to keystrokes no?07:34
gnomefreakwe only want focused windows reacting to key strokes07:34
asacmozillas used to have hard-to-reproduce focus bugs. Hard to say if this report is really about such a case.07:34
gnomefreakother wise you will end up with major issues07:34
Admiral_Chicagoexactly.07:35
gnomefreaknot sure if i should wait for his reply but i assume so07:35
Admiral_Chicagowell it is Rob Collins, he wouldn't be leaving a bug report if it wasn't good07:35

gnomefreakgonna add one about totem versiona nd what package08:04
gnomefreakhave to think of how to say it08:04
AlexLatchfordhmm j08:04
AlexLatchfordk even08:04
asacso -gstreamer makes ff crash but -xine not?08:05
gnomefreakasac: when they answer we will know. but -gstreamer has had crash issues in past where -xine didnt08:07
gnomefreakAlexLatchford: what do you think of: Which totem pacakge do you have installed?08:08
gnomefreakWhich version of the totem package is installed?08:08
gnomefreakwould like to make it  a bit easier to understand but not sure how to word it08:09

gnomefreakhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/Triage/Responses?action=show08:20
gnomefreakwe need to come up with a more general part instead of My IBM T43 had the same problem.08:22
=== gnomefreak doesnt have IB< T43
gnomefreakSome people have reported that their IBM T43 had the same problem. maybe?08:23
asachmmm ... maybe it would be better to ask for a complete list of plugins as well as extensions in response to crash reports? e.g. like opening about:plugins and providing some info from there?08:23
gnomefreaki thought of that and had asked someone to do that but. its a long list (mostly java related)08:24
asacyeah ... from what I have seen so far, the apport stuff is nice, but tends to trigger lots of duplicates. which are a pita to deal with properly.08:24

AxlRoseif I don't need to09:10
AxlRosealright09:10
gnomefreakAxlRose: This package is not available from the Ubuntu repositories due to licensing and legal restrictions09:11
AxlRosewell no ones gonna bust down my door are they :P09:11
AlexLatchfordwell I presume its not, I am using totem-xine and I can see the file09:11
gnomefreakbtw autocrapix has them but i strongly advise you to not use it at all09:12
AlexLatchfordI would install the totem-xine plugin for firefox, it seems to do the job on most embedded movies09:12
AxlRoseI can try that09:12
AlexLatchfordhmm, but that doesn't really solve the bug lol09:12
AxlRoseAlexLatchford: should totem-xine show up in adept?09:14
asacAxlRose: search for codecs09:14
asacinstall xine extra plugin09:14

asacbut then you won't use mplayer anymore I guess :)09:17
AxlRosehow do I specify which plugin firefox uses?09:18
AlexLatchfordI would suppose you would uninstall the other one09:18
asacmaybe the plugin packages do even conflict?09:19
gnomefreaktotem and totem-xine ther eis also a totem-xine-plugin or totem-plugin09:19
AxlRosei installed totem-mozilla...tried the video...still no luck!!09:21
