[04:01] <drew2121> micahg: are there any known memory leak problems with FF 3.6?
[04:02] <drew2121> micahg: it's using 30% of 4gb with only 2 tabs, facebook and a new tab
[04:05]  * micahg pretends to not know what a memory leak is
[04:07] <drew2121> micahg: is that a yes?
[04:07] <micahg> drew2121: nah, Firefox doesn't have memory leaks ;-)
[04:08] <micahg> j/k
[04:09] <drew2121> lol... 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 it
[04:09] <drew2121> in the other window i had facebook and a new tab =P
[04:09] <micahg> drew2121: I've got 1.6GB of resident memory usage for FF4
[04:10] <drew2121> isn't that excessive?
[04:10] <micahg> yes
[04:10] <drew2121> memory leaks FTW
[04:11] <drew2121> micahg: are there any ways to go about debugging them?
[04:11] <micahg> drew2121: probably, I haven't had time to look into it yet
[04:12] <drew2121> i don't know of any specific debuggers that are good with it
[04:12] <drew2121> i haven't learned a whole lot of debuggers in school yet though...
[04:16] <drew2121> micahg: looks like the consensus is dmalloc for C languages...
[04:17] <micahg> drew2121: won't work, Firefox uses jemalloc
[04:19] <drew2121> micahg: i can't find any good documentation on jemalloc, i cant even find it in the repos =X
[04:36] <micahg> drew2121: did you see Chris's comment about apport and Firefox?

[06:16] <micahg> awk: ah, good
[06:16] <awk> Can I close the bug?
[06:20] <micahg> awk: well, I already converted it to a question, so you can close that if you like
[06:21] <awk> micahg: what was the reason for it not working? bad rsync to repos?
[06:21] <micahg> awk: more likely a bad local cache

[19:56] <jschall> bug 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.

[20:36] <drew2121> micahg: what is the process for when a new profile works for a user?
[20:37] <charlie-tca> good question, drew2121
[20:37]  * charlie-tca never ran into a user that succeeded with the new profile 
[20:37] <drew2121> charlie-tca: do you know? i mean, its not a bug, but how do i tell the user that =P
[20:37] <drew2121> check out bug 701217

[20:38] <charlie-tca> I don't know. I anxiously await micahg's response!
[20:38] <charlie-tca> My guess would be the bug is invalid because the user profile has something wrong
[20:40] <micahg> drew2121: disable all addons in the good profile and enable them one by one until the culprit is (hopefully) found
[20:41] <micahg> drew2121: actually, if that works, it won't be system installed, so convert to question at that point, and propose what I said before
[20:41]  * charlie-tca knew micahg would know the right answer
[20:42] <drew2121> he said with all addons disabled it doesn't work
[20:45] <drew2121> micahg: what do i do then?
[20:52] <drew2121> and what are we doing about all the crash reports still in LP? are we still supposed to triage those?
[20:57] <micahg> drew2121: well, unless the crash report is usable, no, lucid and up can now report straight to Mozilla
[20:58] <drew2121> alrite...
[20:58] <drew2121> micahg: and about the new profile working, if he disables all addons it doesn't work, so convert to question and...?
[20:59] <micahg> drew2121: as for the bug, please ask the user which version worked, I'd like to know if it's a regression in -updates
[20:59] <drew2121> micahg: which version?
[21:00] <micahg> drew2121: user is up to date with 3.6.13
[21:00] <micahg> drew2121: maverick was released with 3.6.10
[21:01] <drew2121> yes... but all he did was create a new profile, that degrades your version
[21:06] <drew2121> micahg: nevermind, i understand what you meant now =P
[21:27] <drew2121> micahg: 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.

[21:28] <micahg> drew2121: ubufox should allow you to switch
[21:28] <drew2121> alrite
[21:28] <micahg> drew2121: FYI, swfdec is broke in Lucid and gnash replaced it in maverick
[21:29] <micahg> err, not broke, just old
[21:29] <drew2121> micahg: where do you learn all this stuff? lol
[21:29] <drew2121> micahg: is there a daily digest?
[21:29] <micahg> drew2121: I did the initial merge of gnash 0.88 into ubuntu, so I saw what it replaced
[21:30] <micahg> I also filed the bug for the old swfdec-0.7 to be removed from maverick
[21:31] <drew2121> micahg: that would do it =P, so maybe ask the user to try a new profile? since ubufox should allow it?
[21:31] <micahg> err, swfdec0.7
[21:31] <micahg> drew2121: you can try
[21:33] <drew2121> if swfdec is broken shouldn't support be removed from lucid?
[21:33] <micahg> drew2121: it's not broke, it just won't render stuff like youtube
[21:33] <micahg> it's old
[21:34] <drew2121> micahg: thats broke to me =P
[21:34] <micahg> drew2121: we generally don't remove stuff from the stable release
[21:34] <micahg> I would like to maybe backport gnash, but I have to make sure it works
