lissyx^ what07:32
lissyxdoes it means refresh-app-awarness was disabled ?!07:33
lissyxthat could very much explain the resurgence of weird crashes on firefox, when we were told it was enabled07:33

dob1hi, in firefox the file chooser dialog crash if you try to sort columns09:11
dob1very often09:11
dob1try to sort by "modified"09:12
ogradob1, ubuntu-bug xdg-desktop-portal (this is likely rather an issue with the portal deb than with the firefox snap)10:06
ogra(the chooser comes from the portal of your desktop, not from the snap)10:07
dob1ogra: I have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal-gtk,  I am not using gnome, so the package I am using is the gtk one I suppose10:12
ogradob1, not sure whaich one firefox uses ... try filing against -gtk for a start 10:13
ppd[m]I had the same issue with the portal, but it disappeared with a recent update, I think10:53
lissyxdob1, I lack scrollback, what issue do you have with firefox ?11:35
dob1lissyx: the file dialog crash if you try to sort, very often11:42
lissyxwell as said earlier it's a xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/gtk issue11:43
lissyxdoes /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-{gnome,gtk} -rv gets you some stack to file a bug?11:44
ogralissyx, FYI, if you see a "merged" message from mup like above, that only means the feature will land in the next edge build of snapd ... so it will still take a while until refresh-app-awareness disabling went through the QA and CI pipelines and migrated through the channels to hit stable11:45
lissyxogra, yes, but the fact that it mentionned reverting the default led me to believe the feature got enabled, then disabled11:46
dob1lissyx: what you mean with stack?11:46
ograit will get disabled11:46
lissyxogra, and I was not sure whether those prvious changes got into the distro yet11:46
ograbut it is not yet 11:46
lissyxogra, and I'm still getting reports from firefox users with updates getting applied in the background even when firefox runs, and even on versions after it was supposed to be enabled11:47
ogradistro (deb) releases of snapd are always in sync wih releases of the snapd snap to the stable channel ... so what i wrote above applies to the deb too11:47
lissyxogra, hence my question earlier11:47
lissyxdob1, the stack of the crash11:48
ogralissyx, updates are applied even with refresh-app-awareness after 60 days ... if a user ignores the notification for 60 days (and did not manually upgrade while the app was closed) they get a forced upgrade nontheless11:48
lissyxogra, this was not the case here11:49
ogra...and that is why the UX of refresh-app-awareness needs re-working 11:49
ograsounds like a bug with refresh-app-awareness then ... though note that this was only enabled in jammy ...11:49
lissyxuser is on jammy11:50
ograyeah, bug then ...11:50
lissyxand I'd be happy to know what to ask him to debug more11:50
dob1lissyx: no error messages if I start firefox from console11:50
lissyxhttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177290211:51
lissyxdob1, it's expected, it's not firefox that is crashing, it's xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/gtk11:51
ogradob1, rather watch with journalctl -f or so ... the log you get on console is only the firefox output, that does not help with external tools like the portal11:51
lissyxogra, do you know in the code where the check happens to verify a snap is running?11:52
ogranope, i have not touched snapd code in years ....11:52
ograbut take a look at the PR URL in the merge message above 😉 ... that should give you a pointer where to look11:53
dob1segfault https://dpaste.org/CTci711:53
ograthere you go 🙂11:53
ogra(segfault isnt super helpful, but at least it proves the theory that it is the portals fault)11:54
lissyxpretty sure I got another bug report where xdg portal was also segfaulting11:54
ograi saw a few users complaining in #ubuntu duing community support11:55
ograre-ordering headers seems to cause it too 11:55

dob1another thing I noted of file dialog on firefox is that if I am saving a file, I am not able to change its name while saving, I hope is something I am missing15:51
dob1very disappointed... I got it's not a snap problem but it's possibile that nobody tested it ? 15:54

dob1well after a lot of search on google I was able to fix it: the problem is this https://www.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/uogk8h/save_as_move_focus_from_name_to_search_while/   to solve it I installed the xdg desktop open for kde and in /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/portals/kde.portal I edited UseIn to have KDE;i3   now i3 use the kde one that seems working better than the gnome one16:42
dob1not a good solution I know but it works16:43
lissyxdob1, still worth filing a bug against gnome's one?16:45
dob1lissyx: imho it's related to how i3 handle focus16:51
lissyxwell16:51
lissyxstill good to report ...16:51
dob1it's just 2 report in a day :)16:52
lissyxyes, but next time someone come complaining that firefox crashes when using the file dialog, it gets us more infos :)16:55
dob1I will test the kde one before filling a bug, maybe it's bugget it too in some way. Right now it seems usable16:56
dob1*bugged16:56
dob1the save dialog it's maybe related to i3 but the open file dialog, with the sort problem, it's for sure related to the dialog itself16:57
lissyxeither way, I saw that mentionned in some of the snap-specific issues I had a look at17:04
lissyxcan't find which one17:04
dob1I found a bug on the kde one, not a big problem but it doesn't use any icons, I suppose I have to install an icon pack18:21
dob1I don't know which one18:22
dob1ok need to install breeze-icon-theme18:29
gneeriiloeepdeerabout firefox snap: I use several firefox profiles. This doesn't mean I have to update snap for every profile, correct? because each time there is a new version and I run 'sudo snap refresh firefox' I have to run it several times: I run it once, think Im done with it but the next day, Ill have to run it again. Why?21:35
