ali1234brainwash: that's either unrelated or it is something to do with dbusmenu08:56
brainwashali1234: unity-gtk-module-common?09:01
brainwashmaybe it's easy to reproduce if the unity stuff is installed09:03
brainwash"Disable unity-gtk-module on non-Unity desktops. Fixes: 1307657"09:07
brainwashthe reporter uses Unity as dekstop09:08
brainwashdesktop09:08
brainwashali1234: "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 thunar" should disable the module, right?09:10
ali1234should do09:17
ali1234i doubt that's what it is though09:18
ali1234try to get a backtrace09:18
bluesabreochosi: d'oh, I knew I forgot something11:20
ali1234brainwash: actually that won't work because of thunar daemon mode11:27
ali1234you need to kill the daemon first11:28
ali1234otherwise if you run it it will just signal the daemon to open a new window and then exit11:28
bluesabreochosi: pushed the change, sitting in bzr until we decide to do another release11:29
brainwashali1234: maybe, in case he is running the Xfce session11:32
brainwashotherwise there shouldn't be a thunar daemon running the background, or?11:33
ali1234the first copy you run starts up in daemon mode i think11:33
ali1234not really sure about that11:33
ali1234daemon mode might also be broken by the gtk_init thing11:34
ali1234this crash is really unique though11:34
ali1234we would have hundreds of reports if it was reproducable that easily11:34
ali1234let me check e.u.c11:35
ali1234what's the latest version?11:36
brainwashe u c?11:36
ali1234errors.ubuntu.com11:36
brainwashoh11:36
ali1234https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2014.04&package=thunar&period=day11:36
brainwashI guess that there should be a crash file in /var/crash11:37
ali1234yeah you could try apport-collect <bug-number>11:37
ali1234seems we're still getting that memory corruption crash, but maybe people aren't updating gtk11:38
brainwashouch11:39
ali1234there was no actual new release of thunar11:39
brainwashperhaps some people using the live mode11:39
ali1234so if people don't update, they'll still get the crash11:40
brainwashlive mode of 14.04, not 14.04.111:40

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1147349 in thunar (Ubuntu) "thunar crashed with SIGSEGV in thunar_file_is_directory()" [Medium,Confirmed]11:40
ali1234this one is really common :(11:40
ali1234i don't see anything that looks like it involves context menus in the top bugs11:42
ali1234so this is either memory corruption or some really weird corner case11:42
ali1234ah, found something involving unity11:43
brainwashmmh, you have to request access to be able to see the error reports11:43
ali1234yeah11:43
ali1234i asked, they gave it to me :)11:43
brainwashonly thunar?11:43
ali1234no, everything :)11:43
ali1234it doesn't have that kind of access control anyway11:44
brainwashby filing a single form?11:44
ali1234yes11:44
brainwash"What software project are you requesting access for?"11:44
brainwashwhat was your answer?11:44
brainwash:D11:44
ali1234i said i was an upstream Xfce developer11:44
brainwashah11:45
brainwashwell, I'm not :/11:45
elfyI keep meaning to do that - but I also appear to have logged into it11:45
bluesabrefor you, say you're a part of the Xubuntu Team bug squad11:45
ali1234if you're in bugsquad then you should put that. and if you;re not in bugsquad you should be11:45
knomebrainwash, get the bugsquad membership..11:45
brainwashbug-control11:46
elfyyea that 11:46
brainwashyeye11:46
brainwashnow back to thunar and segfaulting11:46
brainwashali1234: "ah, found something involving unity"11:47
brainwashwhat did you find?11:47
ali1234well basically a crash report from thunar that ends up inside unity_gtk_menu_shell_get_visible_indices11:47
ali1234...somehow11:48
ali1234but this should not affect context menus11:48
ali1234it might be a case of "user tried to add indicator-appmenu to the panel" (which is known to not work11:48
ali1234but yeah... that shouldn't touch context menus at all, so i dunno11:48
brainwashvery strange11:49
ali1234unity_gtk_menu_shell_get_items: assertion 'shell->menu_shell != NULL' failed11:51
ali1234is your bug11:51
ali1234and the thing i found gets into unity_gtk_menu_shell_get_visible_indices with items = NULL and then crashes11:51
ali1234so it's the same bug 99%...11:52
ubottuError: Launchpad bug 99 could not be found11:52
ali1234so look slike the assertion fails, then it carries on anyway, then crashes11:52
brainwashis the report you are talking about hidden?11:53
ali1234there is no bug report attached to it11:53
ali1234i'll looking on the data on e.u.c which has a backtrace11:53
ali1234https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/61622b42dc47a39ce14e7f1764b25b3df5c0cc63 - but you can't see it11:54
ali1234getting reported about twice per day11:54
ali1234a lot of the reports are from the same people11:56
brainwashare these reports uploaded automatically or manually by the user?11:57
ali1234automatically11:57
ali1234it's where the report goes when you see "Ubuntu crashed, do you want to send a report?"11:57

brainwashawesome12:05
brainwashwait what12:06
brainwashthis bug report is not that helpful12:06
brainwashit's more like a link to the actual error page (restricted)12:06
ali1234yes i know12:08
ali1234i didn't know what the button would do before i clicked it12:08
ali1234i thought it would let me link an existing bug tbh12:09

ali1234appears earlier in this trace12:10
ali1234this is 100% the same bug :)12:10
brainwashbut still no clue what unity's gtk module is doing here, or?12:11
ali1234well, it's doing what unity does \o/12:11
ali1234let me check this stack trace has no identifiable information12:12
ali1234then i will pastebin it12:12
ali1234http://paste.ubuntu.com/8205738/12:17
ali1234somehow thunar is passing a corrupt menu into "unity menu shell" whatever that is12:17
ali1234oooooh12:18
ali1234it might be HUD12:18
ali1234you know unity hud right?12:18
ali1234this person might be running thunar in unity and trying to use the hud12:18
brainwashhud? the dash?12:20
brainwashI'm not that familiar with the unity environment12:21
bluesabrehud = the quick menu search and running part of unity12:21
bluesabre(the best part)12:21
brainwashisn't that the "dash"?12:21
ali1234no the dash searches applications and websites12:22
ali1234the HUD is alike a command line interface for accessing menu items12:22
bluesabrehud: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/screen-shot-2012-01-24-at-15.48.24.jpg12:22
brainwashok12:23
ali1234so it sucks in all the menus of the program so it can search them12:24
brainwashget the unity people involved, so they can fix their stuff?12:24
ali1234it's pulling the thunar context menu for some reason, but then it can't parse it, so it crashes. and because it's a gtk patch, it takes down gtk and thunar with it12:24
ali1234yeah, i'll try to get someone to look at this12:24
brainwashthanks :)12:25
ali1234this is still guessing btw12:25
ali1234i need to do more research i think12:25

slickymasterWorkGridCube: exactly how were those strings translated? In reviewer or translator mode?15:56
GridCubeslickymasterWork, people logged their launchpad account and translated15:57
slickymasterWorkGridCube: If you're making translations for a project that uses a Structured or Restricted permissions policy and you're a member of the appropriate translation team you can work in one of two modes:15:57
slickymasterWorkReviewer: This is the default working mode. All changes you make are approved automatically. If you want to make a suggestion, rather than a new translation, you need to manually select the Someone should to review this translation check-box.15:57
slickymasterWorkTranslator: When entering new translations, they're treated as suggestions that someone else needs to review. You can make a direct translation by deselecting the Someone should to review this translation check-box. How this affects team workflows15:58
slickymasterWorkGridCube: FWIW -> https://help.launchpad.net/Translations15:58
GridCubestill15:58
GridCubethen, all the work we did is useless?15:59
GridCubepeople stop caring when they logged and saw none of what they did changed the status of the translation15:59
slickymasterWorkno, it's there, maybe you could poke someone on your LoCo Translator team so they can review/approved what is already translated16:01

knomedkessel, if you translate about 45 strings per day, you'll finish the translation before the string freeze20:47
dkesselknome: too bad I don't have time every day ;)20:47
knomethere was another person doing the german translations, maybe you could both handle about 22 strings per day ;)20:48
dkesselhaha20:48
knomeno, seriously20:48
knomeone night i translated 400 strings to finnish for another project20:48
Unit193knome: All he has to do is make it to 80%20:49
knomegranted, they were much shorter, but otoh, had to think context more...20:49
knomeUnit193, sure, but a 80% translated translation is a bit meh20:49
knome"wait i need this exact information and it's in english!"20:49
knomebut yeah, there are sections that can probably wait20:49
Unit19380% easier to read.20:50
knomeone of the easiest things to translate is chapter 1120:50
dkesseltoo bad the translations don't approve themselves ;) then again... that is probably better =)20:50
