mahfouzin current ubuntu-mozilla build of 3.6, if I go to download list, choose a downloaded file, I click "open containing folder" and nothing happens14:40
mahfouzmy wm is metacity14:40
mahfouzi have a related problem that some files dont open their external client when i download them14:40
mahfouzthe problem is only there in 3.614:40
mahfouzit works fine in 3.5 and 3.714:41
mahfouzfrom daily build14:41
joelinuxmicahg: Did you get a change to look at the Seamonkey debian files?15:54
micahgnot yet15:54
micahglet me see15:55
joelinuxI made options for configure really simple. I basically went with the default config. I needed to set disable-crashreporter so it would build on i386.15:58
micahgwe don't build with crash reporter yet15:59
joelinuxI also had questions on how you select what goes in.16:00
micahgjoelinux: looks pretty good16:00
joelinuxI've been really happy with 2.0.1. It's been very stable for me.16:01
micahgjoelinux: are you just looking for this in Lucid or in dailies as well?16:01
joelinuxUm, this is where I need to learn the process. I know code and I'm coming over from a different distro.16:02
joelinuxkarmic had seamonkey 1.1.17 and I was getting worried that there were bugs that were not patched.16:03
micahgjoelinux: well, lucid's no problem, but we probably need a few more ubuntu specific patches16:03
joelinuxI would really like to understand those patches. I looked at the 1.1.17 patches and was trying to figure out what they do.16:04
joelinuxThe rules file also needs some work. I did not understand all the options.16:05
* micahg is still learning some of that as well joelinux16:06
=== mac_v is now known as \vish
micahgthanks _Tsk_, I'm still learning :)16:27
_Tsk_micahg:  no problem16:27
_Tsk_the more people on board the merrier !16:27
joelinuxmicahg: What is the proper way to proceed? Do I set this up a personal project page? Do I join this team? How would I join?16:37
mahfouzconcerning my what I said above, I noticed there is a content type "file" in 3.6 which messes up my application settings16:41
mahfouzis it possible to remove this "file" type or anything else i can do?16:41
micahgjoelinux: if you're interested in joining the team, the best way is to contribute patches for a period of time16:42
micahgmahfouz: what application?16:43
micahgjoelinux: you don't have to be a member to contribute16:43
mahfouzi have problems with different apps, one of them e.g. is scid to open pgn files16:43
micahgscid?16:43
mahfouza chess program16:43
mahfouzbut it's not just that16:43
micahgmahfouz: what does that have to do with mozilla or browsers in general?16:43
mahfouzsay I set "file" to gedit, then it tries to open everything with gedit16:43
mahfouzit's the file type association of ff 3.616:44
micahgah, ok16:44
mahfouzsomething is funny there, not just scid16:44
mahfouzi noticed that 3.6 has a type "file" which 3.5 and 3.7 dont have16:44
micahgmahfouz: what are you trying to open?16:44
micahghmm16:44
micahgyeah, I see it16:44
mahfouzwell, you don't have scid16:44
micahgidr ever running into it16:45
mahfouzi can find another example if you like16:45
micahgmahfouz: I think that's just for generic files16:45
mahfouzah16:45
mahfouzso maybe it treats some files as generic16:45
micahgit's set to always ask for me by defulat16:45
micahg*default16:45
mahfouzbut e.g. pgn has it's own type16:45
mahfouzit should not be treated as "generic"16:46
micahgright, images shouldn't be generic16:46
mahfouzthere were some changes 2 weeks ago16:46
mahfouzthat caused this16:47
micahgI guess the assumption is that images will open in the browser16:47
mahfouzah16:47
micahgmahfouz: are you using dailies?16:47
mahfouzyes16:47
mahfouzdaily build ppa16:47
mahfouzif you want, can try the following: (1) go to (say) www.reuters.com (2) download an image into your download folder (3) go to ff downloads (4) say "open" or "open containing"16:48
micahghmm, I can't find anything16:49
mahfouzthen it uses the "file" association16:49
micahgopens for me in ristretto16:50
micahgwhich is the system default16:51
mahfouzaha16:51
micahgmahfouz: what flavour of ubuntu are you on?16:51
mahfouzkarmic16:51
mahfouznormal ubuntu16:51
micahgah, ok, do you have firefox-3.6-gnome-support?16:51
micahgand xulrunner-1.9.2-gnome-support?16:51
mahfouzah, no16:52
mahfouzdo i have to install that manually?16:52
mahfouzforgot16:52
mahfouzonly have 1.9.1 gnome-support16:52
micahgmahfouz: yeah, we don't force that because of KDE users16:52
mahfouzaha, works better now with jpg and ogg16:56
mahfouzbut scid doesn't open still16:56
mahfouzis it possible that ff 3.6 has a problem with binaries in /usr/local/bin?16:59
mahfouzgtg, be back later17:01
mbanadoes anyone recall offhand if i can use gmail for custom domain but redirect my site to my personal sever?18:07
micahgmbana: that's controlled by dns18:08
mbanammm ... i'm already using gmail for email on the custom domain but i _hate_ their sites application18:08
micahgmbana: you just need to set the a record to point to your webhost18:10

mahfouzyeah same with the other apps22:30
mahfouzok thx22:30
micahgmahfouz: if you think firefox should have access, please debug it and file a bug with what you find22:30
mahfouzbut note that this is not a problem in 3.7 and 3.522:30
micahgmahfouz: you might not have those enabled22:30
mahfouzwhere to file btw? on lp or bugzilla.mozilla?22:31
micahgmahfouz: lp in firefox-3.522:31
micahgmahfouz: apparmor is ubuntu specific, not FF specific22:31
mahfouzbut there must have been some changes about this 2 weeks ago22:32
micahgit would be great if we can get the bugs out now so that we can enable in lucid22:32
mahfouzin 3.6 only22:32
micahgmahfouz: yes, it was just added22:32
mahfouzoh, i see22:32
micahgbut I guess it was jsut left on :)22:32
micahgI'll chat with the maintainer about it22:32
mahfouzok, thx for your help22:32
mahfouzit was kind of annoying for me that some clients wouldnt start anymore22:32
micahgI can imagine22:33
* micahg has been dealing with apparmor all day22:33
mahfouzgood idea for Xmas22:33
micahgmahfouz: are you able to debug and figure out if certain apparmor lines in the profile will help?22:59
mahfouzsure, but I have to read into wiki or do you have any suggestions?23:01
micahgmahfouz: wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingApparmor23:02
mahfouzwhat about this nano and less audits btw, need less be allowed or disallowed for some reason?23:03
mahfouzi mean i wasn't actively invoking nano23:03
micahgmahfouz: less doesn23:04
micahg't make sense for output from firefox23:04
micahgwhat were you doing when it wanted to open nano23:04
mahfouzi get a lot of those, lesspipe, lessecho23:05
micahgmahfouz: you can do a tail -f and watch the entries come in as you work23:05
mahfouzi don't know atm what I did to get those messages23:05
mahfouzyeah, I even see the time stamps23:05
mahfouzbut i have to do more testing23:05
micahgmahfouz: ok23:06
mahfouzmicahg: I have a strange path to the profile binary23:12
micahgmicahg: what do you mean?23:12
mahfouzprofile="/usr/lib/firefox-3.6*/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}"23:12
micahgmahfouz: that's normal23:12
mahfouzi paste that into the terminal23:12
mahfouz?23:12
micahgmahfouz: no23:12
micahgoh, sorry, I misunderstoog23:13
mahfouzsudo aa-complain /usr/lib/firefox-3.6b6pre/firefox-3.623:13
micahgthe profile should be usr.bin.firefox-3.623:13
micahgso, sudo aa-complain /usr/bin/firefox-3.623:13
micahgwe might need to update the documentation :)23:15

mahfouzi understand that this is the whitelist23:19
mahfouzthat's from apparmor.d/firefox-3.623:19
micahgyes23:19
mahfouzimho, we shld allow everything in /usr/bin/23:19
mahfouzor is that too much23:19
micahgmahfouz: too much23:19
mahfouzoh23:20
mahfouzgedit is whitelisted below23:20
mahfouzso you want to just add certain apps to the "miscellaneous" list?23:20
micahgmahfouz: yes, the apps that firefox should have access to under normal circumstances23:21
mahfouzwait, lemme check 3.523:21
mahfouzis it possible that 3.5 and 3.6 block different apps even though they have the same profile in apparmor.d?23:24
mahfouzusr.bin.firefox-3.5 and usr.bin.firefox-3.6 seem to be the same file23:25
mahfouzbut 3.6 blocks a whole lot more23:26
micahgmahfouz: 3.6 is probably on and 3.5 is probably off23:26
mahfouzoh, so apparmor was never active for ff before?23:27
micahgthey'll be the same if you're running dailies23:27
micahgmahfouz: not before karmic23:27
micahgand even in karmic not by default23:27
mahfouzyes23:27
mahfouzthat's what I mean23:27
mahfouzbut 3.6 has "on" by default?23:28
micahgmahfouz: not sure if that's a bug, I'll talk to the maintainer next week23:28
