[16:33] <micahg> asac: ping re ff update patch
[16:51] <Rotwang> hi
[16:51] <Rotwang> Ive got problem with my thunderbird
[16:52] <Rotwang> mails from befor 12th December dissapeared from my Inbox
[16:52] <Rotwang> why's that?
[16:52] <micahg> Rotwang: idk, what happened on the 12th?
[16:52] <Rotwang> no idea
[16:53] <Rotwang> here at my workplace thunderbird is used very extensively
[16:53] <Rotwang> one of the workers here have this problem
[16:53] <Rotwang> and i have no idea why it could just dissapear from Inbox
[16:54] <Rotwang> is it possible that Inbox file was too huge?
[16:54] <micahg> shouldn't be
[16:55] <Rotwang> the messages was listed in thunderbird but couldnt be opened
[16:55] <Rotwang> after indexing folder, theyve dissapeard
[16:56] <Rotwang> ive checked if any options that make thunderbird to delete messages was turned on, but they wasnt
[16:56] <micahg> Rotwang which version?
[16:57] <Rotwang> 2.0.0.22
[16:58] <micahg> Rotwang: have you tried 2.0.023?
[16:58] <micahg> that's been out for a while
[16:58] <Rotwang> i cannot update thunderbird
[16:58] <Rotwang> im just a help desk technician
[16:59] <Rotwang> but i wonder why it dissapeard
[17:00] <Rotwang> any ideas?
[17:00] <micahg> hmmm, well the only fix in 2.0.0.23 was a security fix
[17:01] <micahg> Rotwang: is it imap or pop?
[17:01] <Rotwang> pop
[17:02] <micahg> Rotwang: pop with save on server?
[17:02] <Rotwang> without
[17:02] <micahg> wow
[17:02] <Rotwang> why wow?
[17:02] <micahg> ok, can you check the thunderbird profile to see if the messages are there?
[17:02] <micahg> Rotwang: no copies
[17:03] <Rotwang> micahg: how do i do it?
[17:03] <micahg> Rotwang: I'm assuming this is on Ubuntu?
[17:03] <Rotwang> ive grepped many times mozilla folder for 11 Dec
[17:03] <Rotwang> micahg: sure
[17:03] <Rotwang> Ubuntu 9.04
[17:03] <micahg> in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, there should be a profile directory
[17:04] <micahg> inside that profile directory, there should be a Mail directory, then inside that there should be a Local Folders directory
[17:05] <micahg> then try the command: head Inbox
[17:05] <micahg> see what date the first message is
[17:05] <Rotwang> 12 Dec
[17:06] <Rotwang> btw, ive checked auth.log it seems noone logged to that machine at 12 Dec
[17:09] <Rotwang> the worst is, I have no idea why that happened
[17:10] <Rotwang> well, maybe there is some info i could provide to debug this?
[17:11] <Rotwang> ive got root access
[17:11] <micahg> Rotwang: well, the messages seem gone then unless they were moved to another folder
[17:12] <micahg> asac: would it be ok to pull dh_xulrunner from debian and add it to xul-1.9.1-dev?

[20:48] <mbana> hi, do you know why dejavu sans mono is insisting on using hintslight not hintfull despite me setting it explicitly in .fonts.conf but i have the the appearance in gnome set to hintslight.  hope that makes sense
[21:40] <fta> asac, micahg: any idea for a name for my bot? to go with this logo: http://www.sofaraway.org/ubuntu/tmp/ppabot-192-192.png
[21:41] <micahg> FabBot?
[21:42] <micahg> nice graphic :)
[21:44] <fta> too bad it doesn't render well in 14x14 :(
[21:47] <fta> maybe debbot, or debot
[21:47] <fta> dabot?
[21:48] <micahg> dappabot?
[21:48] <micahg> or deppabot?
[21:49] <fta> no, not ppa, the bot is not limited to ppas, you can use it to maintain a package in the repo
[21:49] <micahg> oh, ok
[21:49] <micahg> fta: how about dubot?
[21:50] <micahg> Debian Upload BOt
[21:50] <fta> for a while, before the ppa even existed, i was maintaining ff with it
[21:50] <fta> hm, nice
[21:51] <micahg> or dpmb (debian package maintenance bot)
[21:51] <fta> dubot sounds french to me
[21:52] <fta> drobotik?
[21:53] <micahg> fta: is there anything wrong with something french sounding?
[21:53] <fta> nope
[21:53] <micahg> fta: have you talked with asac today?
[21:55] <fta> nope
[21:55] <fta> holidays
[21:55] <micahg> ah, so he's off this week?
[21:56] <fta> he didn't say, but i guess so
[21:56] <micahg> ok
[21:56] <micahg> so, should I just patch ff37 in the mean time and talk about dropping the patch when he gets back
[21:57] <fta> do it, we can always revert if he wants to
[21:57] <micahg> fta: patch it or drop it?
[21:57] <fta> drop it
[21:58] <micahg> fta: ok
[21:58] <micahg> fta: did you see my message about prism yesterday?
[21:59] <fta> i wanted to check if it's not a bug in my bot, but i didn't have time
[21:59] <micahg> ok
[23:38] <micahg> [reed]: do I need to have someone push the patches that I asked for approval for?
[23:44] <fta> jcastro, ripps: http://identi.ca/conversation/17175657#notice-17190196
[23:45] <fta> if you have suggestions..
[23:58] <jcastro> fta: ooh, I will think hard!
[23:58] <jcastro> http://www.morewords.com/contains/bot/
[23:59] <jcastro> fta: bottleneck would be awesome, because of what it does to launchpad!
