[02:10] <adamkex> I installed fluxbox and then firefox but there is no autogenerated menu entry for firefox. A menu entry is created if I install other applications. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
[02:19] <tsimpson> adamkex: see if logging out and back in solves it, if not then it's likely a bug (somewhere in fluxbox)
[02:26] <adamkex> tsimpson: I've had this problem since yesterday. I also noticed that firefox is missing from /usr/share/menu/ while it is present in /usr/share/applications/
[02:29] <tsimpson> it shouldn't be required to have an entry in /usr/share/menu/, though it could be the cause
[02:29] <micahg> that's an archive wide issue which will probably be dealt with in future releases
[02:32] <adamkex> tsimpson: May I ask you why it shouldn't? All other programs in /usr/share/menu/ are in my fluxbox menu. I can install openbox and so we can see if it is a fluxbox bug or that firefox package is missing a file
[02:32] <adamkex> micahg: Archive wide?
[02:46] <adamkex> tsimpson: In openbox one can only start the default web browser, which in this case is firefox. Firefox has no entry.
[02:46] <tsimpson> I'm in lxde atm, I see firefox in my launcher
[02:48] <adamkex> tsimpson: Does LXDE use the menu or the .desktop system to generate it's menus?
[02:52] <tsimpson> not sure, I'll have a look
[02:53] <tsimpson> adamkex: seems like it ignores /usr/share/menu/ completely actually
[02:57] <adamkex> tsimpson: I see. Then it seems that LXDE uses the .desktop system instead of pulling menu entrys from /usr/share/menu/. I guess this is a bug since firefox properly support some window managers. Should I file this as a bug?
[02:57] <adamkex> does not properly support*
[02:57] <tsimpson> I'd agree and say it should probably include the menu entry, yes
[02:58] <adamkex> tsimpson: Ok, I will file this as a bug
[03:41] <adamkex> tsimpson: I've reported the bug now, if you're interested this is the URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1057882 Thank you for helping me.

[18:06] <mitya57> hey, can anybody look at bug 1055710 and check if it really needs to be private?
[18:07] <mitya57> (and probably other private bugs in unity-mail package, if there are any).
[18:09] <jtaylor> looking
[18:10] <jtaylor> swapping bugs is simpler :)
[18:16] <mitya57> jtaylor: I need the stacktrace, and the retracer removes it...
[18:17] <jtaylor> ._.
[18:17] <jtaylor> its a python stacktrace
[18:18] <jtaylor> in C those are seldom useful
[18:18] <jtaylor> k public too, nothing in there
[18:19] <mitya57> without the stacktrace I can't even understand what happened...
[18:20] <jtaylor> I doubt the stacktrce will help
[18:20] <jtaylor> but its visible now
[18:22] <mitya57> jtaylor: thanks
[18:22] <mitya57> in bug 1023158 the stacktrace *is* meaningful :)
[18:22] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1023158 in unity-mail "Unity-mail crashed with signal 5 in g_object_newv()" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1023158
[18:23] <jtaylor> yes its hasn't crashed in python
[18:24] <mitya57> by "crashed in python" I mean it's C stacktrace, not python traceback :)
[18:33] <mitya57> jtaylor: thanks a lot, maybe you can look at retext bugs as well?
[18:34] <mitya57> jtaylor: I've got one of them made public today, so I guess there may be other private there
[18:46] <jtaylor> mitya57: done
[18:48] <mitya57> jtaylor: thank you
[18:49] * mitya57 hates appmenu-qt as it is the cause of both retext bugs...
