Re: Firefox & Thunderbird Instability in Xenial

[José Jorge Enríquez]

I've been using Xenial on my laptop for some time now and haven't seen any
firefox crash yet. That said, I use this laptop mostly on Saturdays (for
about 6 continuous hours, firefox almost always open).
I don't use Thunderbird though, could it be something related to
Thunderbird?

 Is anyone else having issues with Firefox and Thunderbird on Xubuntu
 Xenial?  I am getting random crashes almost every day from one or the
 other, leading me to believe that it is a set of issues in common code.  I
 reported it here:
 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1581569
 and in the Mozilla pop-up whenever I get it.

 My 14.04 server has no such Mozilla issues even though the Firefox &
 Thunderbird versions are the same as what's on the 16.04 system.

 If anyone else is having such an experience, please mark that "it
 affects me" at the bug report.

 If anyone has a work-around, please add a comment to the bug report.

 Thank you.

Re: Very Late Xenial Testing Call

[José Jorge Enríquez]

Just tested 20160420.1, was able to reproduce 1512120 and 1311926, could
not reproduce 1514912 nor 1540186 but think I found another one:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1572792
In Xubuntu 14.04 default behaviour for drag&drop was move files,
dragging&dropping copies files instead of moving them, not sure if it's
correct.

Re: Translations important for Xubuntu

[José Jorge Enríquez]

I'm new to the mail list and, although not for sure, I wanted to have a
look at what contributions are you looking for. However, I can't not access
your link, first it requires an Ubuntu One account (which I have), and then
it indicates something about being authorized to access it:

OpenID Authentication Required
Authorization is required to access
http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-apps-translations
Either you have not been granted access to this resource or your
entitlement has timed out. Please try again.

What do I need to do to be authorized to have a look at the document?
