| b3n4dd1 | hello, i want to store the mails i send from moziila thunderbird in the sendbox of my mail acount, is it possible? | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| asac | b3n4dd1: what does that mean? | 00:11 |
| asac | b3n4dd1: you can setup something in prefereces as "sent folder" | 00:11 |
| asac | for an account | 00:11 |
| b3n4dd1 | asac: for instance, i send a mail from thunderbird, i want to have it not only in sendmail box in thunderbird, but also in sentmail box in my on line mail acount | 00:14 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: that's a setting in account preferences | 00:15 |
| b3n4dd1 | micahg: are you sure? i wan't find it, which release do you have? i have thunderbird 3.0.4 | 00:16 |
| micahg | same one' | 00:16 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: Edit -> Account Settings -> Copies and Folders under the account | 00:17 |
| b3n4dd1 | i ve already checked it, i can't ifnd it there micahg | 00:18 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: it's the first thing that | 00:18 |
| micahg | *there | 00:19 |
| b3n4dd1 | micahg: no it's no the first field, the first fiel is to specify where to save send messages in the computer not in my acouont | 00:20 |
| ddecator | looks like you can specify it in "other" | 00:22 |
| ddecator | my gmail account shows up in there, and it lets me choose the folders | 00:22 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: are you using IMAP or POP? | 00:22 |
| b3n4dd1 | POP | 00:23 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: there's your problem | 00:23 |
| b3n4dd1 | ahh oki :) | 00:23 |
| b3n4dd1 | thx micahg | 00:23 |
| b3n4dd1 | i have just to turn it into IMAP ? | 00:24 |
| b3n4dd1 | what about port number? | 00:24 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: with IMAP you can subscribe to folders in your account and then select that folder to store send messages | 00:24 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: can't convert | 00:24 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: need to create new account in thunderbird | 00:24 |
| b3n4dd1 | micahg: hmmm ok thx | 00:25 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: there's a bug open upstream | 00:25 |
| micahg | b3n4dd1: for converting from POP to IMAP | 00:25 |

| micahg | chrisccoulson: do you think we should do another thunderbird release for bug 509248? Seems like an easy fix. Should I have it bake in PPA for a day or 2? | 14:38 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 509248 in thunderbird "[PPA] Thunderbird 3 Shows only English dictionary in Spell menu" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/509248 | 14:38 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - yes, we should try and get that in | 14:39 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: k, I'll make the update, I guess we'll branch Lucid to actually release to archive, but should we test in PPA build first? | 14:39 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - what do you also think about bug 543060 too? i'm wondering if i should get that in too, as people upgrading don't have -gnome-support | 14:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 543060 in thunderbird "thunderbird - gnome integration should work even without -gnome-support" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/543060 | 14:40 |
| micahg | k, seems reasonable | 14:41 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - i think the importance of bug 543064 and bug 543060 is probably the wrong way round. have you got an opinion on that? | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 543064 in thunderbird "ensure that x-www-browser is used if no http handler is found through gnome integration" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/543064 | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 543060 in thunderbird "thunderbird - gnome integration should work even without -gnome-support" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/543060 | 14:41 |
| chrisccoulson | i think using x-www-browser as a fallback is a "nice to have" at the moment, but i'd rather actually have gnome support working for everybody out of the box | 14:42 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: what you're saying makes sense in terms of urgency, but the priorities are set since the first is a regression and the second one is an enhancement | 14:43 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - i'm not sure the second one is an enhancement though, as upgraders from karmic don't get gnome-support anymore | 14:44 |
| chrisccoulson | (as the package is not installed by default) | 14:44 |
| micahg | there was a package for it in karmic | 14:44 |
| chrisccoulson | hmmm, now i'm confused | 14:46 |
| chrisccoulson | one second | 14:46 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - the thunderbird-gnome-support package in karmic is empty (like firefox-gnome-support) | 14:51 |
| chrisccoulson | so gnome support works in karmic without installing thunderbird-gnome-support | 14:51 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: hmmm...weird, ok, well, I guess that's a regression as well | 14:51 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, it is. ok, so we need to do one more upload before release | 14:53 |
| chrisccoulson | hmmm, the test suite for the new IPC stuff fails :-/ | 14:55 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: I seem to be having trouble with .links for thunderbird | 15:13 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: does .links not support * expansion? | 15:15 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - no, i don't think so | 15:15 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: ah, ok, I'll add to rules | 15:15 |

| eagles05138785 | https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558584 <--- exploit in java deployment kit i think | 15:23 |

| micahg | chrisccoulson: k | 18:34 |
| ccheney | chrisccoulson: so the issue the last i worked on epiphany was i had backported gtkentry c file in its entirety but that caused issues with the callbacks not being properly registered and then calling back into the original hardy gtkentry and BOOM crash :) | 18:35 |
| micahg | ccheney: firefox should work, but something in the last build broke | 18:36 |
| ccheney | chrisccoulson: so asac had told me that i needed to hook up the new functions (iirc) using the init function so it would callback correctly | 18:36 |
| ccheney | chrisccoulson: and i was starting to look into that when i had to get back to fixing OOo rc bugs before lucid release... | 18:36 |
| micahg | ccheney: when you get back from lunch, I want to talk to you about dictionaries common | 18:37 |
| ccheney | micahg: ok | 18:37 |
| * ccheney -> lunch | 18:37 | |
| asac | i think getting epiphany-browser finally done would be the highest priority for ccheney for this | 18:37 |
| ccheney | asac: yea | 18:37 |
| micahg | asac: shouldn't be much work for ccheney if any for firefox backport | 18:37 |
| asac | would be a huge accomplishment | 18:37 |
| chrisccoulson | ok, i need to get myself up to speed with the hardy stuff, and then i can help out too | 18:37 |
| ccheney | my most recent compilable work for epiphany is in my personal ppa | 18:39 |
| ccheney | will take a look at my current diff from that after i get back from lunch and see what i still need to do and/or ask questions about | 18:39 |
| ccheney | iirc my last upload was from before trying to fix the callback mess | 18:40 |

| BUGabundo | so tell us about it fermulator | 20:28 |
| fermulator | Premise: | 20:29 |
| fermulator | What's the deal with the Firefox "Mozilla Team" PPA? I thought this PPA | 20:29 |
| fermulator | >> was supposed to provide a stable branch of Firefox? | 20:29 |
| fermulator | >> | 20:29 |
| fermulator | >> A few days ago, it suggested upgrading to the latest 3.6.4pre ... which, | 20:29 |
| fermulator | >> as it turns out, is NOT stable. :-( | 20:29 |

| fermulator | >> Would be interested to know why a "pre" release was let into the wild on | 20:30 |
| fermulator | >> a stable PPA. | 20:30 |
| fermulator | >> | 20:30 |
| fermulator | it was suggested that i had the wrong PPA (by accident installed a daily or something instead of stable) --- but this was my APT sources file | 20:30 |
| fermulator | fermulator@fermmy:/etc/apt$ sudo grep -rin firefox * | 20:30 |
| fermulator | sources.list.d/mozilla-firefox.list:1:#deb http://1.0.0.2:3142/ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu jaunty main | 20:30 |

| fermulator | (they're commented out now, but weren't before of course) | 20:31 |
| chrisccoulson | fermulator, perhaps you could put your source.list on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 20:34 |
| chrisccoulson | you didn't get 3.6.4pre from the firefox-stable PPA | 20:34 |

| fermulator | ah ha | 20:38 |
| fermulator | i see now | 20:38 |

| BUGabundo | fermulator: didn't I already explain that to you | 20:39 |
| fermulator | as it turns out though, it was my mistake, like you thought Micah, I did indeed have a daily, but just didn't know it. | 20:40 |
| BUGabundo | in #ubuntu+1 two days ago ? | 20:40 |
| chrisccoulson | fermulator, perhaps you should update your forum post ;) | 20:40 |

| BUGabundo | fta: asac: micahg: chrisccoulson: maybe we should split TB and FF PPAs? | 20:40 |
| fermulator | i'll definitely update it now | 20:40 |
| micahg | BUGabundo: there are plans for a TB stable PPA | 20:40 |
| BUGabundo | lots of ppl want TB ppa and not FF daily | 20:40 |
| fermulator | splitting the PPAs would be useful, yes. also a TB stable would be even more useful. | 20:41 |
| micahg | BUGabundo: also possible plans for an apt-pinning/sources tool for firefox/tb | 20:41 |
| BUGabundo | what I would love to see | 20:41 |
| fta | BUGabundo: used to be the opposite (people wanting daily ff but stable tb) | 20:41 |
| BUGabundo | right | 20:42 |
| BUGabundo | that's what I said | 20:42 |
| BUGabundo | well no | 20:42 |
| BUGabundo | but you get what I mean | 20:42 |
| BUGabundo | ppl always want what they can have | 20:42 |
| fermulator | yes, stable TB is more important because all the plugins/addons take a long time to catch up. | 20:44 |

| chrisccoulson | micahg - i probably won't get a chance to have a meeting tonight, i'm going to get an early night tonight | 22:24 |
| * ccheney hopes he isn't getting sick, my son is and i'm feeling a bit off this afternoon :( | 22:26 | |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, i don't feel too great atm, hence the need for an early night ;) | 22:27 |
| chrisccoulson | i've got quite a headache atm | 22:27 |
| BUGabundo | can someone confirm FF 3.6 daily ppa lost the ability to change tabs with ALT+NUM ? | 22:28 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - the symlink fix doesn't work on upgrade btw :( | 22:28 |
| chrisccoulson | i forgot, there is an issue with dpkg | 22:28 |
| chrisccoulson | it doesn't replace folders with symlinks on upgrade | 22:29 |
| chrisccoulson | i think the only way to do it is to remove the folder from a maintainer script before unpacking | 22:29 |
| * micahg was feeling out of it yesterday | 22:29 | |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: is that in prerm? | 22:29 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - it would have to be in the preinst script, as that will run from the new version | 22:30 |
| chrisccoulson | the prerm script that runs on upgrade will be the old one | 22:31 |
| chrisccoulson | that sucks, but i've seen this issue before | 22:31 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: ok | 22:31 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: I'm glad you caught it now | 22:32 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: I don't like breaking stuff :) | 22:32 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: I'll work on a fix tonight | 22:32 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: can I use * expansion in the preinst script? | 22:32 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, that should be fine | 22:33 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: k | 22:33 |
| * micahg is almost getting the hang of symlinks | 22:33 | |
| * micahg should write a wiki entry for dealing w/symlinks | 22:33 | |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - see bug 303578 for a similar issue (the bug only affects upgraders rather than new installs, which would be the same for thunderbird too) | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 303578 in ubuntu-docs "System->About Ubuntu homepage has glitchy "Thank you" line" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/303578 | 22:36 |
| chrisccoulson | that was fixed differently though, by checking the folder in the postinst | 22:36 |
| chrisccoulson | and then removing it if it wasn't a symlink and creating the link from the script | 22:37 |
| chrisccoulson | but i probably would have just removed the folder in the preinst on upgrade and have dpkg create the link | 22:37 |
| chrisccoulson | either way is probably fine though | 22:37 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: I like your solution better | 22:38 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - the only issue with my indea though is that it would also delete any files not owned by thunderbird (if there were any) | 22:40 |
| chrisccoulson | eg, if another package put them there or the user did | 22:40 |
| chrisccoulson | whereas doing it with rmdir from the postinst is safe, as it will only replace the dir with a symlink if the folder is empty | 22:41 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: k, so, should we go with the safer choice since we're close to release? | 22:42 |
| chrisccoulson | micahg - yeah, i'd go with the rmdir then ln from the postinst | 22:46 |
| chrisccoulson | basically, something like this: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37985347/ubuntu-docs_8.10.3.debdiff | 22:46 |
| micahg | chrisccoulson: k | 22:47 |
