[02:22] jhnjwng, I'll take a look [02:23] thanks [02:28] we are no longer going to be using debian us upstream so that fixes from debian will not flow down to us. I think that we need to see if it fixed in mozilla [02:28] asac would know the real answer to that question [02:29] I will follow up with asac. [02:29] try asking him on the mailing list I am insrested in learning how we are going to handle this [02:30] will do.

I have to be added to developer team too first - hopefully today :) [02:16] asac: they suggest bringing a fan club which speeds up the process [02:16] hehe ... ok :) [02:40] meh [02:40] whats up? [02:41] not much, waiting for this membership to go through [02:41] u been discussed yet? === dfarning_ [n=dfarning@d8-147.rb2.lax.centurytel.net] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam [02:46] no, i'm last of 8 iirc [02:47] 6 more between me and current person [02:47] oh right ok [02:49] should be enough time to toast a bagel and spread a bit of cream cheese...But I'll check back back before I pour my juice;) [02:49] tons of time [02:51] Admiral_Chicago: how long? [02:51] asac: an least another 20 i'd say [02:51] how many applications left before you? [02:52] 5 or 6 [02:52] ups [02:52] k [03:26] dfarning_ asac and AlexLatchford, i'm next [03:27] coolio [03:27] if you want to go and make me look good, that would be great :) [03:29] k [03:31] I am ready to hit ctrl-v with a blurb [03:32] i'm ready to go back to bed. had to wake up at 5.30 to make sure i was ready [03:34] :) okay [03:45] Admiral_Chicago: congrats ... I think you made it, didn't you? [03:45] asac: waiting on sabdfl, he is impressed with our team very much [03:45] why should he then vote -1 ? [03:46] no, he just needs to give the word [03:50] done [03:50] ok ... going out for late lunch :) [03:50] thanks dfarning_ and asac ! [03:50] i am almost starving now as it took so long :) [03:51] lol, i have a class to get too. [03:51] Admiral_Chicago: keep up the good work ;) [03:51] will do asac. gotta run to class [03:51] congrats [03:51] thanks a lot [04:15] dfarning_: you there ? can you subscribe mozillateam to enigmail bugs too? [04:23] asac, what are you some sort of glutton for punishment;) [04:23] will do [04:24] what did i do? [04:24] punish? [04:25] subscribed [04:26] dfarning_: sorry, I am not a native speaker so I might have missed the point/irony :/ [04:27] I am a native speaker and still often miss the point or joke [04:27] fortunately :) [04:28] but maybe its because you chat with non-native speakers ;) [04:29] I didn't realize that you are the debian thunderbird guy! [04:29] hehe :) [04:29] yeah ... one of the crimes i did :) [04:30] not anymore ... now I am icedove maintainer :) [04:31] http://www.asoftsite.org/s9y/archives/121-a-new-face-for-Icedove.html [04:31] opps [04:33] once we get the triage mess under control I'm looking forward starting to work on patching === akruth [n=akruth@p548C60DE.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam [04:34] hi! [04:34] yeah ... good to here ... but I have the feeling that bug triage will hunt us for quite some time :) [04:34] i am using thunderbird 1.5 with a profile on my usb stick [04:34] it always forgets the columns i selected [04:34] what can i do? [04:35] akruth: define columns [04:35] asac, especilly when you keep requesting that we add more packages to our big list [04:35] in the message view, i can select sender, receiver, size, date and so on [04:36] s/big/bug/ [04:36] from the list of messages [04:36] akruth: it forgets the columns after you unplug the stick? [04:36] dfarning_: enigmail is mostly care free :) ... just good to have it under the mozillateam umbrella :) [04:36] no, after restarting thunderbird [04:36] i tried to delete xul.mfasl [04:37] but it doesn't help [04:37] akruth: hmm, i'd say that is just a limitation of the portability [04:37] I'm off to work on apport hooks [04:37] yell if you need anything [04:37] i remember a bug about usb sticks ... don't know if its this issue [04:38] akruth: does it work for you if you don't put the profile on usb mass-storage? [04:38] dfarning_: ty [04:38] while i don't unplug it, it is like a ordinary hard-disk [04:38] can someone run me through working with symbolized crashes? [04:39] ask if you need specific infos ... there is not much one can give as asummary other than you can try to figure out duplicates why matching similar stack traces [04:39] asac, wait a moment, i have to test that [04:39] s/why/by/ [04:40] Admiral_Chicago: then you can try to find upstream crash reports that contain the same backtraces [04:42] no no, i mean say i find a bug report with symbolised report. where do i go from there [04:42] it doesn't matter if it is on hd or usb [04:43] akruth: then you have some other problem. Do you still use a special directory for profile or the default one (.e.g. .mozilla-thunderbird)? [04:43] Admiral_Chicago: maybe show me an example bug ... maybe I can explain something then [04:44] asac, this is my directory: /media/ALEX-USB/Thunderbird-Profil [04:44] asac: i don't have one, i'll let you know when I do. perhaps I shouldn't speak in generalities [04:44] search for "traced" tag [04:44] there should be plenty that need to be evaluated and raised to confirmed level if info is good. [04:45] there are quick links on the wiki for tag-searches [04:46] what does: user_pref("mail.preferences.compose.selectedTabIndex", 2); mean? [04:47] akruth: can't tell out of my head ... anyway, can you create a new user account and see if things work as expected if you just run thunderbird (without anything special about the profile) from there? [04:48] asac, with a new profile it works correctly [04:49] do if you create a new profile on usb it does not work? [04:49] do you know that user_pref("mail.root.none", ...) is for? [04:50] s/that/what [04:50] yes it should contain your path to your standard mail boxes [04:51] there is another with "-rel" appended, which is preferred? [04:51] -rel is [ProfD] Mail for me [04:51] for you? [04:52] in thunderbird [04:52] what do you have in those settings? [04:54] the first one is a wrong absolute path and the second one [ProfD] Mail [04:54] akruth: did you import your profile from mozilla once? [04:54] akruth: does it help to solve your problems if you fix the absolute one? [04:55] i don't remember, maybe [04:55] i deleted the absolute one and tb is still starting [04:55] does it regenerate the absolute one? [04:55] no [04:56] what for is the chrome subfolder? [04:57] i guess its a relict of old times ... I don't have it here. iirc, there used to be user installed extension chrome files installed in that place . [04:57] do you think i can safely delete it? [04:57] at best make a backup before you do anything [04:57] i did [04:58] what path is it at? [04:58] in my profile [04:59] somewhere below .../extensions/ ? [04:59] or in top-level? [04:59] what are the contents of it? [04:59] no directly on top-level [05:00] chrome.rdf, userContent.css and another folder: overlayinfo [05:00] tb starts also without it [05:00] sounds old ... try to remove it (if you are sure you have everything backed-.up) [05:00] a lot of thrash in my profile.... [05:00] what fs do you have on your usb stick? [05:00] apparently its pretty old [05:01] fat32 [05:01] hmmm fat32 allows case sensistive files? [05:01] i hardly don't know [05:01] mount options are: "rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8" [05:02] There isn't much we can do with Bug #81896 [05:02] Malone bug 81896 in mozilla-thunderbird "adress book crash" [Medium,Needs info] https://launchpad.net/bugs/81896 [05:02] i'm going to close it [05:02] Admiral_Chicago: right ... no report no processing (for crashers) [05:03] Admiral_Chicago: maybe give him a few more days to answer [05:03] Admiral_Chicago: but its you to decide that [05:03] actually no [05:03] i'm going to let them know where the crash may be [05:03] thats even better :) [05:04] /var/crash/firefox am I correct? [05:06] is there something obviously wrong with the mount options? [05:06] no ... /var/crash/_usr_lib_firefox_firefox-bin.xxx for me [05:07] akruth: I don't see anything at a glance [05:07] akruth: so creating a new profile on usb stick does work? [05:07] yes [05:07] and state is remembered? [05:07] ye [05:07] s [05:08] is there a safe way to copy settings from my old profile to a new one? [05:08] unfortunately not ... maybe your permissions are messed up ... do an strace -f thunderbird &> /tmp/somelog ... and the log of a complete thunderbird session to some pastbin please [05:08] there are about 250 MB mails, newsgroups and a lot of settings and accounts [05:09] s/and the/and put the/ [05:09] i am on dapper [05:09] that is unlikely to matter [05:09] maybe you need to install strace package before [05:10] the logfile is about 7,5 MB [05:10] thanks for the path [05:10] akruth: can you grep for ENOENT ? [05:11] please wait [05:11] 1502 lines matched [05:11] or upload the complete log to some place of your convenience ? [05:11] i think i would need to take a look at the complete log [05:15] where is a good pastebin? [05:21] akruth: pastebin.ca [05:23] i am pasting......... [05:23] i am pasting.................. === asac wonders if they allow that huge pastes :) [05:24] i'm anxious [05:25] Sorry, an error has occurred. Reason: The paste you submitted was over one megabyte in size. Please trim it down. [05:25] :( [05:27] you have no other place to upload the gzipped log? [05:27] if not ... submit a bug :) [05:27] and attach it there ;) [05:28] i have the feeling we have to make a proper bug out of this anyways. [05:30] http://bfpi.de/somelog [05:42] hmmm see nothing at a glance [05:44] hansenet? [05:45] bist ja garnicht soweit weg [05:48] jo :) [05:48] hamburg :) [05:48] dammtor um genau zu sein [05:48] ich sitz in wismar :) [05:49] naja ... doch ne ganz schoene ecke weg :) [05:49] naja dichter als usa oder so [05:50] ist in datei nichts zu finden? [05:52] nicht auf den ersten blick [05:52] schade [05:52] vielleicht doch ein setting === dfarning [n=dfarning@207-118-200-233.dyn.centurytel.net] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam [05:52] oder was am filesystem [05:53] glaube ich nicht ... wenn man das ganze mit einem neuen profil auf dem stick loesen kann [05:54] maybe you can confirm the prefs from a fresh profile on stick with the old one that does not work? [05:54] s/confirm/compare/ [05:54] :) [05:54] yes, maybe [05:54] my prefs.js is very long [05:55] i'll try to create a new profile [05:55] but maybe its worth a try [05:55] to compare [05:56] thx, CU [05:56] however you should be able to copy mailfolders over ... though i didn't do that recently [05:56] bye === Admiral_Chicago [n=Freddy@st074039212101.monm.edu] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam [06:30] asac, I believe you will find a feature request from mdz in your mailbox. [06:31] sorry, I was discussing apport and matt turned things around on me;( [06:33] so i confirmed a bug, need to get it working on a new profile to make sure it's not an extension causing it === dfarning [n=dfarning@207-118-200-233.dyn.centurytel.net] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam [06:54] dfarning: so what does this imply? [06:55] asac, sorry what does what imply? I had to reboot and lost the thread. [06:57] ahhh, It has to do with adding a report a bug option under the help menu on product we work with. [07:03] dfarning: just a link to the submit bug report page? === dfarning [n=dfarning@d12-88.rb2.lax.centurytel.net] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam === dfarning [n=dfarning@s3-165.rb2.lax.centurytel.net] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam === hjmf [n=hjmf@208.Red-81-33-107.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam [09:45] hi [09:46] what's up with tags? do we won't use anymore retrace, traced... tags? [09:48] I think not [09:48] dfarning: ? are the new tags defined to be used with bughelper? [09:49] sorry I think I've missed the whole issue [09:49] it seems to make more sense to use the needs tags that asac has come up with === hjmf thinks has to re-read all the new wiki work ;) [09:49] btw, I added some more content [09:50] its a draft and still incomplete [09:50] but maybe you want to comment on the structure right away [09:50] its currently in Bugs/State iirc [09:50] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/States?highlight=%28mozillateam%29 [09:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/Tags [09:51] I see [09:51] has the tags that I am using in bughelper [09:52] asac, have you added more tags? [09:52] Tags is the comprehensive page to reference tags ... while state contains the big picture ... e.g. what to do at what state and what tags are valid at what state [09:52] some ... anyway, thats open for discussion [09:52] not yet to the tag list ... they are named on the state page for the time being [09:54] great, I now see the picture [09:54] I like the idea of thinking of the bug resolution process as a state machine [09:55] that methodilly moves from one state to the next [09:55] to me that makes a lot of sense [10:01] asac, to keep the syntax parrall retrace should be changed to needsretrace [10:04] I also suggest that we add a needsinfo tags to indicate that the issues is waiting for misc information [10:06] makes sense since the needs info state may also mean 'waiting for work from triagers'. The needsinfo tag will mean need feedback from the user [10:07] info like version numbers video cards.... [10:09] dfarning: i am still wondering if we should use a prefix like [10:10] mt-needsretrace (e.g. read mozilla team tag: needsretrace) [10:11] actually I don't want bugs in state confirmed if we cannot effectively process it [10:11] so we need either good traces for crashers [10:11] or testers as well as testcases for feature bugs [10:11] I was wondering about that also [10:12] confirm will show: here is all information to evaluate in depth, triage upstream, develop a fix on our own [10:12] as soon as we either submit bug upstream or say, yes we know how to implement it, we should take the bug to in progress [10:13] there might be different opionion on whether a bug posted upstream is already in progress even though it might be NEW ... but i think from ubuntu pov it is in progress [10:13] if the state tags are well thought out they should apply across lp [10:13] probably ... though it will just makes sense for packages with a high load of bugs [10:14] using this workflow for general bug triaging might be difficult, because the actions attached to state/tag combinations can be quite package specific [10:14] but who knows ... establishing a well done workflow in mozilla team allows us to learn a lot ... and maybe we can really find a way to generalize that [10:15] once we get a version .o1 we can publish a note to the bugsquad for their feed back [10:16] yes ... I am in contact with launchpad team as well ... if we find suggestions on how to improve launchpad to support our workflow better, they appear pretty eager to help us to set things up [10:17] for confirmed issues we can use pending* tags [10:18] ie pendingupstreampush, pendinglocialization, pendingbranding [10:18] pendingupstreampush awful [10:18] hehe [10:18] lol, looks like a german word [10:19] so devs can quickly pick up bugs they are familar with [10:19] for know I am still unsure which tags are needed at confirmed level. [10:19] it depends if we will defer upstream triage completely to confirmed state or place that in needs info too [10:20] actually at least searching for already known upstream issues is definitly needs info [10:20] while pushing upstream is due in confirmed state [10:21] imo [10:21] makes sense [10:21] what do you think? We could as well argue that need info is only used as long as informations are needed on our behalf [10:22] while all upstream triag belongs to confirmed [10:23] makes sense, but we need a proper tag to mark as 'searching for known upstream issues' [10:23] once a bug has been filed upstream it should be moved to inprogess [10:23] ... in the needs info state [10:24] needupstream :) [10:25] dfarning: yes that is clear [10:25] I sure you can add more letter to that if you try;) [10:26] i prefer to have tags that are short worded :) [10:26] needsomeonetopushthisthingupstreamandsetstatetoinprogress [10:26] needstobepushedupstream;) no we might be confused with java devs [10:26] to fit in the browser window [10:26] or have a wide screen [10:27] needs info - needsupstream - indicates that some should verify the issues exist upstream [10:28] ok ... lets assume we start that way [10:28] yep [10:28]
