[Bug 1959845] [NEW] "firefox --version" problem when run via snap

Public bug reported: This is Ubuntu 21.10 on x86-64. The "firefox" command is /snap/bin/firefox, which is a symlink to /usr/bin/snap. I am running snapd 2.53+21.10ubuntu1. When I run the shell command "firefox --version", and attempt to debug the resulting mess a bit, I see the following: $

(In reply to Michael Hudson-Doyle from comment #11) > Did the patch ever get sent to libc-alpha? Unfortunately I never got around to it. Someone else can shepherd it if it's urgent; otherwise I suppose it can wait until someone gets around to syncing Gnulib with glibc. -- You received this bug

Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 21.04 when I use Thunderbird, drag-n-drop sometimes fails to work when moving messages. I attempt to drag a message (or a collection of messages) from one folder to another, but the attempt to drag fails and nothing happens. This occurs when I use the default

[Bug 1934185] Re: gdm "New Window" popup won't go away

One other thing: when I'm using Thunderbird, I often cannot move groups of messages by using the mouse to drag and drop. I have temporarily worked around this latter problem by switching to Xorg from the default Wayland. I hope this also works around the problem noted in the screenshot. -- You

Although I filed this bug once, using "ubuntu-bug", somehow it showed up on Launchpad twice, as bug#1934185 and bug#1934186. I attempted to mark the latter as a duplicate of the former, and the web interface seemed to work at first but now I don't see any record that it's a duplicate. I will

[Bug 1782342] Re: mawk memory corruption on recent tzdb data

This bug is fixed in Ubuntu 20.10 (and probably earlier versions), as Ubuntu 20.10 uses mawk 1.3.4 20200120. So you can close the bug report. (I'd close the bug report myself but don't seem to have the bits to do that.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

[Bug 1884458] Re: pytz mishandles Africa/Khartoum in 2017

Part of the problem is that when pytz/tzfile.py reads a TZif file, its build_tzinfo function parses only the file's version-1 data, which is limited to 32-bit timestamps that stop working after 2038. In 1995 the TZif file format was expanded to include 64-bit transition times and a POSIX-style TZ

I am still observing the problem on my Ubuntu 16.04.1 x86 desktop, which has C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2) graphics. I assume this is because 304.134 has not yet been backported to 16.04.1 LTS. I hope the bug is fixed soon, as it's a little disconcerting that the latest stable Ubuntu release does
