[03:52] <wlach> is there anything I can do to get some attention to an easy-to-fix bug (just apply a pre-existing patch that has been in use by Fedora for >1 year) in Ubuntu? It would be great to see this fixed in time for the next version: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat/+bug/912392
[03:52] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 912392 in xchat "Please include upstream libnotify fix into package" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[03:57] <bryce> wlach, yeah I can take a look
[03:57] <bryce> wlach, but not before next week
[03:58] <bryce> wlach, btw for reference, in general if you *attach* the patch to the bug rather than mention a link to it, that tends to get it on people's radars better
[03:59] <bryce> since launchpad then flags it as a patch, which gets it into the sponsoring review queue
[03:59] <wlach> bryce: I can easily do that, since I created a patched package myself a day ago :)
[03:59] <wlach> bryce: there's no rush, I just wanted to make sure it got attention ...
[04:01] <bryce> wlach, if you know how to create debdiffs, attaching a debdiff is a *really* good way to get it some attention, since those tend to get even higher priority in the sponsor queue
[04:02] <wlach> bryce: oh cool, I didn't know that, no
[04:02] <wlach> It's been a long time since I've messed with debian packaging but I'm sure I can learn
[04:02] <wlach> relearn that is
[04:03] <bryce> wlach, cool!  well welcome :-)
[04:04] <wlach> bryce: Can't promise I'll show up *too* often as I have lots of stuff on the go. ;-) this particular issue just happened to be driving me crazy enough to motivate me to go into #gnome-shell and debug it with the help of some of the developers there
[04:05] <wlach> but this is good to know for future reference
[04:05] <bryce> wlach, yep
[06:33] <BigWhale> God Morning.
[06:33] <BigWhale> Good
[20:32] <chrisccoulson> desrt, does calling g_settings_new result in an AddMatch message being sent over the session bus? (eg, "type='signal',interface='ca.desrt.dconf.Writer',path='/ca/desrt/dconf/Writer/user',arg0path='/system/proxy/'")
[20:38] <desrt> yes
[20:38] <desrt> asynchronously so
[20:38] <chrisccoulson> desrt, ah, that will be why thunderbird is spamming my session bus with millions of these messages
[20:39] <chrisccoulson> it does this every time it creates a new http channel, to check the proxy settings
[20:39] <chrisccoulson> we should probably cache these :)
[20:39] <desrt> sounds reasonable, indeed :)
[20:42] <chrisccoulson> thunderbird is also haemorrhaging memory whilst it's doing this too :(
[20:42] <chrisccoulson> that's going to be fun to debug
[20:55] <chrisccoulson> hmmm, i think i'm going to have to rebuild thunderbird to turn off jemalloc :(
