23:34:19 <Afwas> hi
23:34:43 <Afwas> Anyone know of any problem with feedrea and the latest xulrunner?
23:34:53 <Afwas> *liferea
23:35:54 <Afwas> Liferea doesn't start. These are the last few lines of debug mode:
23:35:58 <Afwas> PLUGINS: -> XulRunner Rendering Plugin (liblihtmlx.so, type=0)
23:35:58 <Afwas> PLUGINS: using "XulRunner" for HTML rendering...
23:35:58 <Afwas> TRACE: + mozembed_init (XPCOM_GLUE)
23:35:58 <Afwas> Aborted
23:40:12 <pochu> hmm
23:40:15 <pochu> Ubuntu Intrepid?
23:45:05 <Afwas> yes, stopped working a couple of days ago
23:45:37 <Afwas> Trying to build latest liferea. It says
23:45:38 <Afwas> checking which gecko to use...
23:45:38 <Afwas> configure: error: No gecko found; you may need to adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH or install a mozilla/firefox/xulrunner -devel package
23:48:18 <pochu> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liferea/+bug/309640
23:48:30 <pochu> can you get a backtrace and attach it to that report?
23:48:47 <pochu> I'll then get the Ubuntu mozilla guy to look at it
23:49:58 <Afwas> pochu, col, that's the bug.
23:50:02 <Afwas> *cool
23:50:05 <pochu> also, would be good to know if downgrading to xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (from the hardy pocket) solves the issue
23:50:20 <Afwas> I noticed upgrade of xulrunner yesterday or so
23:50:25 <pochu> since I think it was the security update to 1.9.0.5 which broke it
23:50:26 <pochu> yeah
23:50:31 <Afwas> But I also installed Firefox 3.1
23:50:34 <pochu> s/which/what/
23:50:41 <pochu> hmm
23:50:55 <pochu> that's even more likely to be the cause
23:51:07 <pochu> can you get rid of it, and see if liferea then works?
23:54:31 <Afwas> pochu, one at the time
23:55:13 <Afwas> Where would I find the dump? It says /home/foppe/Downloads/liferea-1.4.23/core: No such file or directory.
23:55:35 <Afwas> and ~/Downloads/liferea-1.4.23 is the current fodler
23:55:38 <Afwas> *folder
23:58:28 <pochu> run liferea from gdb
23:58:34 <pochu> like
23:58:44 <pochu> $ gdb /usr/bin/liferea
23:58:47 <pochu> (gdb) run
23:58:54 <pochu> then get a backtrace with
23:58:59 <pochu> (gdb) backtrace
00:01:08 <Afwas> $gdb /usr/bin/liferea-bin
00:01:14 <Afwas> would that be ok?
00:01:36 <Afwas> It gives a backtrace
00:02:08 <Afwas> (gdb) backtrace

00:02:48 <Afwas> most likely xulrunner from FF3.1 I'd say
00:03:22 <pochu> yes
00:04:04 * Leon_Nardella heeft verlaten (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
00:04:13 <pochu> (btw you should use pastebin rather than pasting large portions of text into IRC)
00:06:44 <Afwas> pochu, I uninstalled FF3.1 but no luck
00:09:07 <pochu> also uninstall xulrunner-1.9.1
00:09:13 <Afwas> pochu, got it. Liferea is back after uninstalling this xulrunner-1.9.1
00:09:18 <pochu> yeah :-)
00:09:21 <pochu> thanks for checking
00:09:48 <pochu> will investigate if we can make liferea load the correct xulrunner even if 1.9.1 is installed
00:09:54 <pochu> I think we already fixed that for Jaunty...
00:11:06 <Afwas> Great
00:11:24 <Afwas> Want me to add to that bugreport?
00:13:02 <pochu> yes, please
00:26:41 <Afwas> Added all information to the bugreport. pochu, thanks for the help so far.
00:27:26 <pochu> Afwas: you're welcome, thanks for helping debugging it!
00:27:48 <Afwas> my pleasure

Mr. Sweigart said he wasn't spending as much on family this year, and was making donations to charity in lieu of gifts due to the recession. "It makes unwrapping presents a lot faster, and we spent less money. It's a win-win," he said.

Yes my internet connection is the fastest in the neighborhood according to speedtest.nl. I do trust the numbers. This site is around for quit some time. However what's weird are not my marks but the others. This would mean they have a poor setup. And 'they' are nearly all of them.
I can believe that for the cable clients. The cable in our region is severely limited and hugely popular. With cable this means they share the first part of the backbone (the cable in the street to the signal house). I live 1.5 km from the first distribution point (ADSL2 through telephone cable). That's not record breaking but ADSL is supposed to be more or less dedicated (not true but more than cable).
Here is the table. I needed to take a snapshot because the table was poorly coded (Ajax through ASP with the XML header intact, the table in HTML4, that is plural tables because each line is a table).

When I choose high speed internet there was a choice between cable and ADSL. I took the latter because setup was much cheaper and I was lacking cash. In that time cable was more reliable and faster. Yet I was happy. I had a great provider (Planet Internet). Later on with ADSL2 I became faster than my friends on cable. What's more I found a cheap provider that delivers on the KPN network, the same I had before.
Some time ago I noticed the signal falling away. I checked the cables and one of them must have been broken. I replaced that one and took all four wires of the telephone cable for the signal and I removed the splitter. According to my modem packet loss was zero and the speed was reported maximal. That's about what is confirmed by speedtest.

In Sweden cable gives 100Mb up and 100Mb down.

At the moment I'm coding a Persian (Iranian) calendar as requested by Ebrahim. Actually the coding is extremely difficult but great fun. It's difficult because of the abstract thinking. I can't read a single word anr Right To Left writing requires a different thinking pattern. We're used to the += to glue a new text after the other, but now I have to start at the end and glue text before that. Not difficult to code but difficult to get it right.
This is more than just translation. The Jalali calendar system is completely different from our Gregorian. The year starts at the start of spring so month don't correspond with our month. That required some recoding of the Calendar widget.
I started of with some 20 odd functions that convert, convert back, translate and such. With those functions I attacked the existing Calendar widget.
Anyway the widget works on a normal blogpage ($mode == 'month') but not on an archived page. The blue date links to a date where I wrote a post and that seems to work. 'Today' in the reddish square works also.
One error to go: when clicking the header ???? ???? (?b?n - 8th month - 1387) leads to the Gregorian time based page of 1387 which you can imagine, doesn't exist.

This month in my Jalali calendar widget:

I found a cool Gnome widget. This calendar seems more Arabic based:

It serves as a check for every alteration I made. I wish I had more space in the sidebar
More information on the Jalali calendar system (???????? ?????) on Wikipedia: Iranian calendar. I used a script by Rahman Haqparast found on phpclasses.org.
