drew2121micahg: are there any known memory leak problems with FF 3.6?04:01
drew2121micahg: it's using 30% of 4gb with only 2 tabs, facebook and a new tab04:02
* micahg pretends to not know what a memory leak is04:05
drew2121micahg: is that a yes?04:07
micahgdrew2121: nah, Firefox doesn't have memory leaks ;-)04:07
micahgj/k04:08
drew2121lol... mine is pretty bad... i only had 6-8 tabs open in one, and i closed them, but no memory was freed up =X, i had to do a killall to fix it04:09
drew2121in the other window i had facebook and a new tab =P04:09
micahgdrew2121: I've got 1.6GB of resident memory usage for FF404:09
drew2121isn't that excessive?04:10
micahgyes04:10
drew2121memory leaks FTW04:10
drew2121micahg: are there any ways to go about debugging them?04:11
micahgdrew2121: probably, I haven't had time to look into it yet04:11
drew2121i don't know of any specific debuggers that are good with it04:12
drew2121i haven't learned a whole lot of debuggers in school yet though...04:12
drew2121micahg: looks like the consensus is dmalloc for C languages...04:16
micahgdrew2121: won't work, Firefox uses jemalloc04:17
drew2121micahg: i can't find any good documentation on jemalloc, i cant even find it in the repos =X04:19
micahgdrew2121: did you see Chris's comment about apport and Firefox?04:36

jschallbug 384920 is almost 2 years old... it affects me, and I'm hoping to find a good workaround or to provide someone with the information necessary to fix it. It's causing my wireless to connect at 8 Mbit/s when it should be connecting at 54M.19:56
ubot2Launchpad bug 384920 in wireless-tools (Fedora) (and 1 other project) "iwconfig bitrate is not set properly (affects: 4) (heat: 25)" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/38492019:56
drew2121micahg: what is the process for when a new profile works for a user?20:36
charlie-tcagood question, drew212120:37
* charlie-tca never ran into a user that succeeded with the new profile 20:37
drew2121charlie-tca: do you know? i mean, its not a bug, but how do i tell the user that =P20:37
drew2121check out bug 70121720:37
ubot2Launchpad bug 701217 in firefox (Ubuntu) "does not remember 'customer number' but says it has. (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70121720:37
charlie-tcaI don't know. I anxiously await micahg's response!20:38
charlie-tcaMy guess would be the bug is invalid because the user profile has something wrong20:38
micahgdrew2121: disable all addons in the good profile and enable them one by one until the culprit is (hopefully) found20:40
micahgdrew2121: actually, if that works, it won't be system installed, so convert to question at that point, and propose what I said before20:41
* charlie-tca knew micahg would know the right answer20:41
drew2121he said with all addons disabled it doesn't work20:42
drew2121micahg: what do i do then?20:45

drew2121and what are we doing about all the crash reports still in LP? are we still supposed to triage those?20:52
micahgdrew2121: well, unless the crash report is usable, no, lucid and up can now report straight to Mozilla20:57
drew2121alrite...20:58
drew2121micahg: and about the new profile working, if he disables all addons it doesn't work, so convert to question and...?20:58
micahgdrew2121: as for the bug, please ask the user which version worked, I'd like to know if it's a regression in -updates20:59
drew2121micahg: which version?20:59
micahgdrew2121: user is up to date with 3.6.1321:00
micahgdrew2121: maverick was released with 3.6.1021:00
drew2121yes... but all he did was create a new profile, that degrades your version21:01
drew2121micahg: nevermind, i understand what you meant now =P21:06
drew2121micahg: is bug 578069 normal behavior, so i could mark that as triaged/wishlist as the user is more looking to add a feature(the ability to choose between both)or should i mark triaged(low), as it is easily worked around.21:27
ubot2Launchpad bug 578069 in firefox (Ubuntu) "firefox adobe flash plugin no longer works (affects: 2) (heat: 12)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/57806921:27
micahgdrew2121: ubufox should allow you to switch21:28
drew2121alrite21:28
micahgdrew2121: FYI, swfdec is broke in Lucid and gnash replaced it in maverick21:28
micahgerr, not broke, just old21:29
drew2121micahg: where do you learn all this stuff? lol21:29
drew2121micahg: is there a daily digest?21:29
micahgdrew2121: I did the initial merge of gnash 0.88 into ubuntu, so I saw what it replaced21:29
micahgI also filed the bug for the old swfdec-0.7 to be removed from maverick21:30
drew2121micahg: that would do it =P, so maybe ask the user to try a new profile? since ubufox should allow it?21:31
micahgerr, swfdec0.721:31
micahgdrew2121: you can try21:31
drew2121if swfdec is broken shouldn't support be removed from lucid?21:33
micahgdrew2121: it's not broke, it just won't render stuff like youtube21:33
micahgit's old21:33
drew2121micahg: thats broke to me =P21:34
micahgdrew2121: we generally don't remove stuff from the stable release21:34
micahgI would like to maybe backport gnash, but I have to make sure it works21:34
