Bug#306537: Firefox unexpectedly disappears without prompting
My system has 256MB RAM, which, coming from Windows 2000 a few months ago, I consider a lot of RAM. Windows never needed to use all of it. Did you ever have 40 IE windows open? I never came back to this bug because your comment annoyed me so much by its mistaken presumption that I used IE on Windows when what I'd meant is that Firefox on the same computer running Windows never needed this much RAM. Anyway, I am long past that. I haven't seen this behaviour on Iceweasel / Firefox for a long long time so I'll close thig bug. Pete Boyd

Actually, I won't close this as there are others reporting in this bug about it happening with the latest Firefox.
Bug#351547: hald using unrecognized option '--use-syslog'
Huh.. I just went back through the version history of that file and it never had those opsion in it.. Somebody must have put those there by hand, any ideas? well, if you're asking me, I don't know. I didn't know of these files' existance 'til I discovered them in researching why this problem was on my system. so, if they've been changed on my system in particular and not others', I didn't change them manually, it must have been software that made the change
Bug#351547: hald using unrecognized option '--use-syslog'
Package: hal Version: 0.4.8-8 Severity: important Debian flavour: Testing When booting up I get the message: Starting hardware abstraction layer: /usr/sbin/hald: unrecognized option '--use-syslog' ... run-parts: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal exited with return code 1 Consequently hald doesn't run. Presumably the problem is in /etc/default/hal using 'DAEMON_OPTS=--verbose=yes --use-syslog' which I presume requires a later version of hal than 0.4.8
Bug#245420: Additional on i686 architecture
version 1.0.36-3 Linux 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Thu May 19 17:40:50 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux Had similar issues as above in authenticating dancer-services but using different platform (i686). Documentation was misleading. In:- /usr/share/doc/dancer-ircd/README.Debian it seems to suggest that:- mkpasswd -H MD5 test would work. But it didn't for me either. However, the second suggestion of using MAKEPASS on the ircd itself did work. Also /usr/share/doc/dancer-services/README.Debian O:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$1$tGB2TR6X$oHzVzy1Uv/xVHTiV2NqsG0:asuffield:segj ^^ This field is a password hash, which you can create with mkpasswd.dancer, found in the dancer-ircd package. -- Andrew Suffield [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mon, 1 Oct 2001 Has mkpasswd.dancer been removed since 2001?
Bug#311084: mozilla-firefox: toolbar, location bar etc covered with blank grey
In one instance when I've experienced this problem I've noticed that the areas of the screen previously described became grey only as I moved the pointer over it; this doesn't seem to have been the case at other times I experienced this problem, at those times it seemed to become grey instantaneously
Bug#311084: mozilla-firefox: toolbar, location bar etc covered with blank grey
Package: mozilla-firefox Version: 1.0.4-2 Severity: important Debian flavour: testing I've been using Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 since it was available in testing a couple of days ago. twice now I've had problems, the first time the upper area of its window, from below the strip with window controls, to the edge of the page, became a solid grey; the second time it happened it was the same area and also the lower screen area containing the status bar other than not having visual access, everything still works, but pull down menus appear again as blank grey blocks. When open a new window, the new window appears as it should but the previous window is still obscurred in grey. I have a screen shot if you want it. I don't know if this is at all related but I've also seen the spinning logo in a tab waiting for a page to load hovering over the area to the right of it where the tab isn't displayed. I've never seen any of this with previous versions of Firefox.
Bug#310092: different spelling for 'catalogue' / 'catalog' between app and help

Bug#310095: gthumb: no key binding for 'Do Not Save'
Package: gthumb Version: 2.6.3-1.1 Severity: minor if I change an image, for example using 'r' to rotate, then close it, for example using 'next' says, gthumb says 'the current image has been modified, do you want to save it?' and the 'Do Not Save' option doesn't have a key binding
Bug#310098: gnome-themes: Simple theme's highlighted text / Firefox menus difficult to read
Package: gnome-themes Version: 2.8.2-3 Severity: major Debian flavour: testing Using GNOME's Simple theme, highlighted text has a dark blue background and retains the black text, which is extremely difficult to read, where-as other themes change the text to white Also, Firefox's menus, when hovered/chosen, have white text on a white background, clearly impossible to read (I'm unsure if these are the same bug or different ones which is why I'm including them in the same report, sorry if thats inconvenient)
Bug#306537: Firefox unexpectedly disappears without prompting
That's a lot of tabs, how much memory does your system have? Check you dmesg and see if you see any lines like OOM Killer. if technically thats a lot of tabs for Firefox then thats a shame, as its easy to have that many open - if I read Slashdot there's a load of interesting stories each day, which may lead on to others, I don't get the time to read them all so they stay open, the next day there's a load more interesting stories, the open tabs just grow! My system has 256MB RAM, which, coming from Windows 2000 a few months ago, I consider a lot of RAM. Windows never needed to use all of it. dmesg says nothing about OOM Killer

Bug#306655: gedit shouldn't show backup files in file picker by default
How would one open a backup file if it isn't shown? I can't tell if you're asking me the question seriously, or being a little sarcastic, so I'll answer it seriously... Nautilus' approach works better for me, thats all I'm saying. I expected with GNOME's integrated and consistant approach that gedit should behave similarly. Perhaps gedit could have a button in its file picker to 'show backup files'
Bug#306537: Firefox unexpectedly disappears without prompting
Package: mozilla-firefox Version: 1.0.2-3 Severity: important Debian flavour: testing Firefox unexpectedly closes down without any prompting. Its been doing this for months, initially I'd leave it open overnight with perhaps between 15 and 40 tabs open, spread throughout a couple of windows and some mornings I'd return to it and Firefox would have disappeared. I haven't seen that in a while but recently I'll be doing something in another application and Firefox just disappears in a similar way. I _think_ but I can't be at all conclusive about this, that it might only do this when I'm using Synaptic. thats the feeling I have but I've not been able to pay close enough attention to it to really know. This happens about maybe once a week. The computer stays on almost constantly, with an occasional reboot to clean it up when Firefox has been open a long time with a lot of tabs as it makes the system dead slow. This is a stock Debian Testing copy of Firefox, no extensions/themes installed.

Bug#306655: gedit shouldn't show backup files in file picker by default
Package: gedit Version: 2.8.3-3 Severity: wishlist By default, gedit saves a backup copy of files, with a ~, and it shows those files in its file picker. Its confusing to see these backup files. Nautilus by default doesn't show such files. I think gedit should do as Nautilus does here.
Bug#306646: spelling mistake in README
