hjmf<asac> will your "script" still detect that bug to match dupes?12:32
hjmfyes it will, you can safely reject it. :)12:34
asachjmf: you have any idea how many out of the 611 bugs are non-crash bugs?12:35
asaci somehow have the feeling that we are kind of blinded for "normal" bugs atm12:35
asacnew might be served properly atm, but olds are most likely never reviewed12:35
asaci mean we could'nt even add a "crash" tag12:36
asacas we cannot use "not contains" tag in search query12:36
hjmfasac: true12:37
hjmfwe should take the effort to review old reports12:38
hjmfmost should be closed12:38
asacyeah ... main problem is I like to go over bugs multiple times12:38
asacgo about "real" bugs12:38
asacbut i can't ... but maybe most aren't really bug12:38
asacs12:38
hjmfprobably12:39
hjmfreviewing old reports is boring :)12:39
hjmfso I have no idea :)12:39
asachmm12:39
asacmaybe we should add a job post :) ... review old bugs ;)12:40
hjmfe.g. today I tried to retrace all mozilla-thunderbird mt-needretrace12:40
asachjmf: only shit came out of it, right?12:40
hjmfand the oldest couldnt be retraced rightly12:40
hjmfyes12:40
asachjmf: yes ... actually can we abort retracing if there is a warning for any of the core libs12:40
asaci found lots of traces for firefox that made no sense12:41
asace.g. they had a stack that didn't match anything closely related12:41
asace.g. there are no such method transitions at all12:41
hjmfthat's why I like to retrace myself12:41
hjmfI can see the apport warnings12:41
asacso what do you check?12:41
asacdo you ever abort?12:42
hjmfthe apport stderr for warnings about packages not found12:42
asaci mean if the stacktrace has valid symbols :)12:42
hjmfno, I automatically reinstall the right dbg version12:42
asac"valid looking" actually12:42
hjmfI match the reporter's firefox version12:42
hjmfthing that I cannot do with thunderbird12:43
hjmfas I only have one -dbg12:43
hjmfI have a good cache pool of old -dbg packages for firefox retraces12:44
hjmfsince we started to retrace12:44
hjmfso  I can retrace old reports in firefox12:45
hjmfso those packages that pitty's repo misses by obsolete I still have them12:45
asacthats fine12:48
asachjmf: can you pick two recent ones and look at the code lines12:49
asacand tell me if they make sense12:49
asac... maybe those i rejected where not by you or early ones where maybe some important warnings might have gone unseen12:49
asacor maybe johns backtrace ... i don't remember12:49
asachjmf: the point is that i saw few traces that really made sense12:50
asachjmf: and i have the feeling that we probably need to remove some optimization option during build to get good squezes12:50
hjmfhmm, those confirmed ones that matched upstream bugs looked right12:51
hjmfI mean, our retraces matched upstream ones12:51
hjmfasac:  but that is for those I could find the upstream match12:52
asachjmf: yes some are valid12:54
asaci think those that end up in gtk something should be fine12:54
asac... at least for the gtk part12:54
asachow many "mozilla" only traces did you match with upstream?12:55
hjmfe.g. bug 118287 retraced today12:56
ubotuLaunchpad bug 118287 in firefox "[FEISTY]  firefox crashed [@free]  [@js_FinalizeStringRT]  (dup-of: 71702)" [High,Needs info]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/11828712:56
ubotuLaunchpad bug 71702 in firefox "MASTER Firefox Crash [@js_FinalizeStringRT] [@js_atom_uninterner] " [High,In progress]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/7170212:56
asachjmf: ok thats js engine12:56
hjmfis upstream 26706312:56
asacjs engine might be special case12:56
asachjmf: you matched a "layout" crash ?12:57
asachjmf: e.g. reflow something12:57
asacor alike12:57
hjmfasac: too late to remember those things :)12:57
hjmflooking12:57
asaccool12:57
hjmfhmm, iirc the only upstream bugs I matched are part of those MASTER in state 'in progress'12:59
asachmm will look at a few new ones01:01
asacand look if line numbers make sense01:01
asacor at least function names make sense :)01:02
hjmfasac: is true that I look daily for upstream's when I retrace and many of our retraces can be found at talkback reports01:02
hjmfbut almost none have an upstream bug open01:03
asachjmf: yeah ... i think that lots of traces make sense01:03
asacbut too many don't make sense01:03
asacsome might not make sense because if things really go bad, the stack is trashed as well01:03
asacbut that should not happen that often imo01:03
asacthough, it might be01:03
hjmfthose are the reports w/o a dup01:04
asacwe talked abit about that on uds01:04
asacone likely optimization option that might improve the traces would be01:04
asac-fno-omit-frame-pointer01:04
asacnobody could really imagine what happends to the backtrace ... and in what specific situation this might cause troubles01:05
asachjmf: so what is the bugs w dupe vs bugs wo dupe ration in your opinion?01:05
asacare they even?01:05
asaci mean we have heavy weight crashers01:05
asaclike the one i closed (98)01:06
asacand the ones you know .)01:06
hjmfI found more dups than non dups01:06
asachjmf: thats good at least :)01:06
asaci think i should do a master bug day soon01:07
hjmf?01:07
asacreview all master bugs01:07
asacand see if they really make sense01:07
hjmfyou mean to close masters?01:07
asacby looking at code01:07
hjmfah!01:07
asacif they make sense ensure that they are really carried upstream01:08
asace.g. if there are talkbacks at least01:08
asacbecause unless we see talkbacks for that its likely an ubuntu only issue01:08
asacand needs to be evaluated further01:08
asace.g. maybe its ubuntu only, because we use some other version of libX01:08
asacor something01:08
asacor worse: its due to a patch we have :/01:09
hjmfI did that a couple of weeks ago for those mt-upstream (I was bored)01:09
hjmfand some I couldn't find references upstream01:09
hjmfbut I don't remmember which ones01:09
hjmfas I was just only playing a bit01:10
hjmf:(01:10
asachjmf: you said you see that there are talkbacks01:10
asacif there are tb01:10
asaccan you note the id together with the trace?01:10
asacthen we need to hurry because tb-ids are only valid for some period (e.g. 90 days?)01:10
asacand post upstream asap01:10
asacso they can't deny thats their crash :)01:11
hjmfnext time I'll be bored I'll do it :)01:11
asacah ... though you automagically search for talkbacks :)01:11
asacdon't need to do that if you do manual01:12
asacI will post a couple of bug tags ... offer mentoring and then post on forum01:12
asacthe sooner the better01:12
hjmfcool01:12
asacone will be upstream triage :), which could exactly be that01:12
asacor a dedicated MASTER bug Maintainer :)01:13
asacbut i think i dream too much :)01:13
hjmf:)01:13

asachmm its vfat03:25

asacor is vfat really fat 16 :)03:25
asacok i will try :)03:26

asace.g. job sounds too much not-fun :)03:27
asachjmf: so any mail?03:27
asachmm just saved a mail without crash03:28
asacmaybe vfat is not fat32?03:29
asaci mean it doesn't even fail03:29
asace.g. when using .eml extension nor .txt03:29
hjmffound so far another related report (with same root cause): bug 9267003:30

asachmm03:30
asacno it only fails silently when long subject03:31
asacbut lets see i try again with the mail that just failed silently03:31
asachmm its not there03:31
asacbut filename starts with [03:31
asacwhich might be a problem03:31
asacthough no error message at all03:31
asaclooks like fat really has loads of problems03:32
hjmf... 92670 is not a crash as was 9041003:32
hjmf.. not sure at all if 90410 retrace is good03:33
hjmfcannot find any related stuff upstream03:34
asachmm03:35
asacmaybe "fails silently" is known upstream?03:35
asacit probably has been posted :)03:35
asacthis does not sound like a bug that is ubuntu specific03:35
hjmfno, but I started to look for a stack match :)03:36
asacif its ubuntu only, then its likely the mount options we use for fat by default03:36
asacdunno if they differ from what other distributions do03:36
hjmfwill look for 'colon', fat32... etc issues03:36
asacok i just set the silently bug to mt-upstream03:37
asacoops did i post my question to the wrong bug?03:38

asacmaybe take a close look08:31
asacyou should be able to guess what they mean08:31

gnomefreakwhat i mean is the patch has things that the file doesnt but there are no + for them08:34

gnomefreakthe #include line is not in the file itself but the patch08:34
gnomefreakthe + is on its own line than starts the comment area08:35
gnomefreaksame with .rej no + next to #include "prerror.h"08:36
gnomefreakso i would assume it doesnt get added to file but than why is it in patch08:36
gnomefreakok i added all but the #include "prerror.h"08:38
asacgnomefreak: don't add it08:40
asacthey dropped it intentionally08:40
gnomefreakone other question besaides the one do i add the #include line, is if im adding the changes to the file do i really than need the patch?08:40

asacgnomefreak: ok ... let me look at the original one08:45
gnomefreaklol08:45
gnomefreakit updated the orig patch08:46
asacgnomefreak: i added those defined above the other includes08:46
asacbut looks worth a try08:46
asacjust try to build with it08:47
asaci looked locally for the old08:47
gnomefreakno more quilt commands just clean and build?08:47
asacyou can even just try08:47
asacdpkg-buidpackage -rfakeroot -nc08:47
asacotherwise yes08:47
asacif you have run quilt refresh then its done08:47
asacand patch is updated fine08:48
asacmaybe you see why quilt is more handy as dpatch for modifying patches :)08:48
=== gnomefreak crosses fingers
=== gnomefreak thinks dpatch-edit-patch is handy
asacyeah but takes ages :)08:50
gnomefreaki have gotten used to it sort of for iceape (still have alot to learn with patches08:50
gnomefreaki agree it is longer08:50
asacgnomefreak: you should take every chance to look thorougly at patches08:50
asacand try to match what they do in the file08:51
asacthen apply, look if it does what you expected08:51
asacunapply again08:51
asacif you this a few times you will get used to patches pretty fast08:51
asac:)08:51
gnomefreaktrue i have started looking through them but some patches are 10+ files in one patch it gets a bit confusing08:51
asacyes08:52
asacstart with simple cases08:52
asacand work up the food chain08:52
gnomefreakthat would be easier08:53
asacyes ... but the patch you just did is a *really* simple one08:53
asacnot most simplistic, but really tinay08:53
asactiny08:53
asacgnomefreak: actuallyl what you did was a *merge*08:54
asacnext time try to match the line where you add the new lines more carefully08:54
asacyou should have put the lines above the includees08:54
asace.g. in our case it might not matter ... but general it can be fatal to move relative position in code of some snippets08:54
asac:)08:54
gnomefreakoh cause from the looks of the file it went under because in the patch after that part is the next set of comments that started with data08:55
gnomefreak#** data08:56
gnomefreakor something like that08:56
asachmm08:57
gnomefreakif you look at http://gnomefreak.pastebin.ca/53418308:57
asacnext time look harder :)08:57
gnomefreakthan look at patch08:57
=== gnomefreak looking right at it
asacwhats that08:57
gnomefreakthe file itself08:57
asacso your new patch didnt apply or what?08:57
gnomefreakafter #include .... you have the comment starting with data08:57
gnomefreaki think it did08:58
asacah ok08:58
asacyes ... but in patch there is #include lines between it08:58
gnomefreakah08:58
asacif you look at the original patch08:58
asacyou see?08:58
asacit doesn't matter for us i guess, (unless it fails to build now of course) ... but usually this would have been hard to chew :)08:59
asacok ... i feel tough08:59
asacwant to install ati official drivers08:59
asacdo you think it works?08:59
gnomefreakthey suck08:59
asacthe default feisty driver sucks08:59
asacit freezes system when playing 3d games08:59
asaclike ut2004 quake408:59
gnomefreakboth suck if you ask me but people said it was easier to install from ati than our drivers09:00
asacwant to try if ati one gives me healing09:00
asaceasier then our?09:00
asacour is just a package?09:00
=== gnomefreak sticks with nvidia
asaclets see what happens09:00
gnomefreakeasier than our package09:00
asaci have the feeling i will kill my system :)09:00
asac51mb download09:00
gnomefreakbackup :)09:00
asacno ... that would be coward like09:00
gnomefreaklol09:01
gnomefreaktrue09:01
asac... and i cannot backup anyway09:01
asacits far too much things on this system :)09:01
gnomefreaki see your point09:01
asaci guess the backup solution would suck $10k09:01
asacok ati fun commences09:02
gnomefreakgood luck09:02
asaci would really like to know what its doing now09:03
asacdoes it oeverwrite my /usr hierarchy files?09:03
Admiral_Chicagoasac: sounds good.09:06

Admiral_Chicagognomefreak: works for me09:11
gnomefreakmaybe 1900 (not sure how long to give -devel for htiers09:12
gnomefreakthiers09:12
Admiral_Chicagotwo hours should be enough no09:12
Admiral_Chicagothree would work as well09:12
hjmfgnomefreak: fine for me too09:15
gnomefreakty09:15
gnomefreakAdmiral_Chicago: if you think jen is ok to go for membership to mozillateam please have him/her add info to meetings wiki (theres now a place for new memberships09:18
gnomefreak)09:18
=== gnomefreak happy if thats all he/she does since its better to have 2 people on it than 1
gnomefreakhappy either way not restricting to just cluefiles09:19
Admiral_Chicagognomefreak: i saw that, i'll have to talk to her at our next discussion09:46
asacit doesn't work09:46
asacnow all direct rendering is gone09:46
asac:(09:46
asachow did jen contribute? bughelper?09:47
asaccan we go 1700 UTC or is that too erly?09:47
gnomefreakbeen working with Admiral_Chicago everyday from what ive seen09:47
Admiral_Chicagoasac: yes, she has been working on clue files.09:47
gnomefreakasac: devel meeting than09:47
Admiral_Chicagognomefreak asac actually we do a lot of work in PMs09:47
asacy09:47
Admiral_Chicagoso i brought her up to speed on the project and she has been doing good work09:48
Admiral_Chicagoasac: i think she prefers to do it that way.09:48
asacyes ... but she doesn't need to be shy ;)09:48
asacshowing ignorance is not a problem :)09:49
gnomefreakthis is bad09:49
gnomefreakvery very bad09:49
Admiral_Chicagowell either way, I have quite a few logs of her and I discussing clue files.09:50
asacAdmiral_Chicago: i believe you :-D09:50
asacdon't need to see any logs09:50
asacif you say she has proven constance in contributing then she can go in09:50
Admiral_Chicagoasac: :) after we finish the firefox one, we are going to add thunderbird, gnash, all of the other ones09:50
asacall of the other ones?09:51
asacso for 9000 packages?09:51
Admiral_Chicagoyes.09:51
asaci think we need innovation here ;)09:51
=== gnomefreak wonders if they sell the camera cords seperate
Admiral_Chicagono for all the other Mozilla related packages.09:51
asack09:51
asacAdmiral_Chicago: actually on the long run most crashers don't need to be detected by clue files09:51
asacwe have to find a way to track other duplicates09:52
asacAdmiral_Chicago: you have any idea how to do that?09:52
Admiral_Chicagognomefreak: i think they would.09:52
Admiral_Chicagoasac: to find other duplicates of what?09:52
gnomefreaki hope so09:52
Admiral_Chicagoi don't think i understand, bughelper and clue files seem like a good way to find duplicates of crashes...09:53
Admiral_Chicagognomefreak: what kind of cord?09:53
gnomefreakthe one from caera to USB port09:53
Admiral_Chicagognomefreak: yep, I have seen them on sale.09:53
gnomefreakgoodie09:53
Admiral_Chicagolike miniUSB to computer USB09:53
gnomefreakyes09:54
asacAdmiral_Chicago: there will be crash auto dupe detection at some point09:54
gnomefreaksort of its more like mini printer port on one end09:54
Admiral_Chicagoyep, I have seen them at the store. circuit city or radioshack or best buy should carry them09:55
gnomefreakill call target see if they have one cheap little later09:55
=== gnomefreak tries to stay away from bestbuy CC and radioshack (they are overpriced and crowded always)
Admiral_Chicagoasac: thats good, but i still don't think i understand. crash will be auto tagged. are you asking about other duplicates (non crashes?)09:56
asacyeah09:57
asaci am wondering if we can find some scheme on how to find "likely" dupes09:57
asacdupes09:57
asace.g. some heuristic09:57
asacmaybe through some categorization of bugs09:57
Admiral_Chicagothats something i'd have to think about09:57
asacimo it won't work to find 100% duplicates09:58
asacjust reduce the set of bugs you actually have to look at in order to judge whether there is a dupe or not09:58
asacmaybe we should try to take a list of "non" crash bugs and look ;)09:58
asacbut i guess one has to chew on this09:58
Admiral_Chicagoasac: what do you think about bug 11726009:59
ubotuLaunchpad bug 117260 in firefox ""Save to Disk" confuses some users" [Wishlist,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/11726009:59
asacyeah10:00
asaci can't tell10:00
asacdo you want to take care for that bug upstream?10:00
asaci mean thats something upstream has to decide10:00
asacyou can look if there is already such a bug10:00
asacand if not, tell me10:00
Admiral_Chicagoif there was a way to handle crashes much more automatically, it will free us up a lot more work with other10:00
Admiral_Chicagoyes, that was my flow of thinking10:00
asacaeh open a new bug and tell me so i can confirm that bug in bugzilla10:00
=== QG [n=mu94063@82.178.140.206] has joined #ubuntu-mozillateam
asacAdmiral_Chicago: yes right10:01
Admiral_Chicagoasac: QG brought it to my attention10:01
asaci already read about that bug10:01
asacbut couldn't deal with it so far10:01
asacis it mt-upstream?10:01
Admiral_Chicagoit seems like its a UI issue which could be worked out by Fx 310:01
Admiral_Chicagono10:01
asacok set to mt-upstream10:02
asacfeel free to take it10:02
Admiral_Chicagowill do10:02
asacjust look if upstream has a bug, otherwise post it as an enhancement bug and tell me10:02
asacthen lets see what upstream says10:02
Admiral_ChicagoQG: this is really a bug that we need to discuss with the Mozilla Foundation, it is there call really.10:02
asaci think they will deny it, but maybe they will come up with something10:03
asacyes10:03
Admiral_ChicagoQG: I will look for a bug in their bug tracker, if there is one we will track it, if not i will file it.10:03
asacif QG wants to do upstream communication then i am fine as well :)10:03
asacjust tell me the bug so i can confirm10:03
asacwhich will raise likelyhood that someone will actually look at it10:04
asac... someone who matters10:04
Admiral_Chicagoyea looking now...10:04
QGdoes '...upstream communication...' mean the same as filing a bug in Mozila's bugtracker?10:05
asacyes ... first figuring out for sure that there is no duplicate10:05
asacif that is done filing upstream10:05
asacand arguing ... trying to find a solution10:05
asacin case there is discussion happening10:05
asacgiving good suggestions can help ... but don't guarantee success10:06
asacUI changes usually take ages at firefox10:06
Admiral_ChicagoQG: upstream really means looking for it at the higher source of the package. be it debian, the actual maintainer of the bug report...10:06
asacDG upstream communication also means pinging the bug every few month10:07
asacso people might not forget :)10:07
Admiral_Chicagoasac: this is seen a bit upstream so you are in luck QG i think10:07
QGIf a similar bug exists, or we file a new one upstream, then do we close the Ubuntu one in Launchpad?10:07
asacno we set it to in progress10:08
asacafter setting upstream target10:08
asacbut not before the bug is confirmed10:08
asacupsream10:08
Admiral_Chicagoasac: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301972 this one?10:08
ubotuMozilla bug 301972 in Download Manager ""Save to Disk" option needs to be more clear" [Trivial,New] 10:08
asacyeah ... the title looks like it :)10:08
asacyeah ... looks like10:09
asacmark it ... lets move on10:09
asacits confirmed and upstream is chewing on it i guess :)10:09
Admiral_Chicagoi'll mark it up..10:09
QGyes, I read it and it's the same one. What good luck!10:10
QGHow do I 'ping' the bug in practice. Is that like posting a new comment every once in a while so that the bug contacts get reminded?10:11
Admiral_ChicagoQG: exactly10:12
QGOK. So I can go ahead and change the status in Launchpad to 'in progress'?10:13
Admiral_Chicagono10:13
Admiral_Chicagowell it would be in progress if it is in progress upstream10:14
Admiral_Chicagoit would be confirmed10:14
QGAhhh, only once it's in progress upstream. I see10:14
QGwhat does the red horizontal line mean in Xchat?10:15
Admiral_Chicagono idea...i use irssi10:15
QGquestion: what's the benefit of having 2 open bugs about the same thing; one in Launchpad and another in Mozilla bugtracker. Can't we close the Launchpad one and refer everyone to the Mozilla one. That would make one less redundant bug in Launchpad wouldn't it?10:17
Admiral_ChicagoQG: not really. there are instances were it is fixed upstream but not in the release which is was filed in.10:18
QGhmmm...10:19
Admiral_Chicagofor example if inkscape releases a version (1.6.5.2) which fixed a bug but I am using Dapper and use 1.6.3.0, i would like to know the bug is fixed upsream10:19
Admiral_Chicagoupstream*10:19
Admiral_Chicagoso i would know that i could compile from source and get the bug fixed10:19
gnomefreakonce fixed upstream we either have to take new upstream package and build or apply patch (normally apply patch unless there are multiple fixes upstream)10:20
QGI understand better now. thank you for the clarification10:20
QGso to test my understanding, once It is fixed upstream, and I am sure that someone is updating the particular release version to move the fix downstream then I would change the status to 'in progress'?10:22
QGin future, how do i add the upstream link to the Launchpad entry so that it shows up like it does for this bug? Do I need to have special rights to do so?10:27
Admiral_ChicagoQG: look at the side, it'll say affects upstream in launchpad10:29
QGgot it. thanks10:30
asacQG: once the bug is upstream and you are sure that upstream somehow cares fr it  it would be "in progress"10:31
asacfor us :)10:31
asacthat is probably mozillateam specific10:31

asacits definitly further above then what you posted10:35
gnomefreakhttp://gnomefreak.pastebin.ca/534617 asac10:36
asachatre10:36
gnomefreaklooks like has something to do with nss10:37
asacyeah10:37
asacour system nss is now too old10:37
gnomefreakomg10:37
asacthje patch you fixed try to workaround this once10:37
asacbut now it looks it doesn't help, but we need libnss-trunk10:37
asacor something10:37
gnomefreakwe will also need nspr too?10:38
asacunfortunatle10:38
asacprobably10:38
asacmaybe not now10:38
asacbut if they change something in nspr, then probably because there is immediate need on firefox-trunk10:38
gnomefreakthat is gonna mean everything has to be rebuilt around new nss10:38
asacno10:38
gnomefreakoh good10:38
asacthat new package would be just for firefox-trunk10:38
asacwe could try for fun to build epiphany with trunk gecko engine10:39
asac:)10:39
asacunfortunately they landed this right before alpha510:39
asaci planned to release firefox-preview package based on alpha510:39
asacso we need to fix this first now :)10:39
gnomefreakyep10:39
asacor don't use system nspr10:39
asaci will think about it10:40
gnomefreakin gutsy we have to no?10:40
asacmaybe we will go with embedded libnspr/nss first10:40
asacand move to system libs when we want another app from trunk10:40
asaci think we should just build without system nss and nspr10:40
asacgnomefreak: can you try if it builds if you do that in rules?10:40
asacwould be good to know that there is no other problem :)10:41
gnomefreakyep, can try10:41
asaccool10:41
gnomefreaklooking for it atm10:42
gnomefreakwithout or pull them out10:42

gnomefreakwith10:43
