Bug#407927: iceape: proxy configuration disabled
I made: grep -ir lockpr .mozilla/
and there was nothing found.
And I made this: grep -ir lockpr /usr/lib/iceape
and this is the output:
/usr/lib/iceape/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js:function
lockPref(prefName, value) {
/usr/lib/iceape/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js:
prefBranch.unlockPref(prefName);
/usr/lib/iceape/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js:
prefBranch.lockPref(prefName);
/usr/lib/iceape/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js:
displayError(lockPref, e);
/usr/lib/iceape/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js:function
unlockPref(prefName) {
/usr/lib/iceape/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js:
prefBranch.unlockPref(prefName);
/usr/lib/iceape/defaults/autoconfig/prefcalls.js:
displayError(unlockPref, e);
Binary file /usr/lib/iceape/components/pref.xpt matches
/usr/lib/iceape/iceape.cfg:lockPref(update_notifications.enabled, false);
Now this gets interesting. You proxy preferences are locked. Which is
not supposed to happen normally.
Could you try something like grep lockPref /usr/lib/iceape ~/.mozilla
and give the output ?

Dear Armando, I think you are right in assuming that bug reporting is meant to improve on programs. So yes, I do think you are right to report this as a bug. But I also think that this is: - not a bug in the sense that it is iceape packaging related - a bug in the sense that it is a shortcomming of the mozilla profile system - a wishlist item in the sense that a profile checker can be very usefull here Looking at the mozillazine forums, there are a lot of people that have profile-related issues, so yes, it is something to be looked at, but not only in Debian, so I think this is an upstream bug. If you can try what Alexander suggested, you probably have the best chance of tracking this one down and helping to prevent this happening to others. Too bad it is probably a lot of work ;-) cheers, Hendrik-Jan 2007/1/23, Alexander Sack [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Tue, Jan 23, 2007 at 10:31:20AM -0500, Armando Romero wrote: In that regard the profile does have common things with same product under different name.

Bug#407927: iceape: proxy configuration disabled
Dear Hendrik-Jan, first, if software does not allow me to change proxy settings, I do think that is bug and shall be improved. And if there is error with profile, iceape shall correct it or at least give a warning what is wrong. You have assumptions that I have messed up with the profile and that was not determined at all. I understand so far that you have no correct information why I cannot setup proxy. Permissions are setup correctly. I have manually deleted all proxy settings from prefs.js and nothing changes. When some file is wrong software shall say it is wrong or corrupted, but iceape simply disallow any changes without any information. thank you for the clarification. First of all, I understand your problem, but I don't think it is an iceape bug. Profiles can get messed up for numerous reasons unrelated to whether or not you use a newer version of a certain package. Now to your problem: if you go to: about:config in your browser and type as search prox, you should get a listing of the current proxy settings. Basically all should be set to default. If not, make sure that they are, and restart iceape. If they are set to default I think you are missing some rights on your profile. You could try a chown -R username.group (as root) on ~/.mozilla -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#407927: iceape: proxy configuration disabled
Dear Armando, When I say that things are messed up in your profile, I certainly didn't mean to imply that you did anything wrong. Profiles can be messed up for a number of reasons. Things like extensions could be one of the culprits. When you install iceape and use it with an existing profile, iceape simply applies those profile settings. You are right that it would be nicer if there was some sort of profile checker that would inspect a profile before use and give you a warning if something is wrong. As far as I know, this doesn't exist. As far as my suggestions go: as you yourself said this problem does not occur on a new (clean) profile, all points towards something being wrong somewhere in the existing profile. As that profile is not generated by iceape, I'd say it's not an iceape bug. Whether there's room for improvement on this product, is a whole different question. I do think you are right and that profile handling is definately a week point of iceape (an all other mozilla products for that matter). I'm sorry my suggestions didn't help. Maybe someone else here knows a fix? best regards, Hendrik-Jan 2007/1/23, Armando Romero [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear Hendrik-Jan, first, if software does not allow me to change proxy settings, I do think that is bug and shall be improved.

Bug#407927: iceape: proxy configuration disabled
Dear Hendrik-Jan, I am sorry if I was not polite enough. I understood the bug reporting system as way to improve Debian system, so I understand that correcting bugs helps get better operating system later. I suppose that bugs also go to upstream maintainers. Further, thousands of people have been used or use mozilla in their existing Sarge system, just like me. Some percentage of them want to use proxy settings. I have that picture in mind. Now, Etch is not stable and many people do not upgrade yet. You know what happens when they upgrade? There will be just more bugs and more time to spend. Maybe nobody else experiences this problem but me, I don't know. However, I used Sarge, I did changes to profile through the Sarge Mozilla and Iceape is follow up and now proxy settings cannot be touched. That is what I observe. In that regard the profile does have common things with same product under different name. If Iceape is re-using previous configuration files and serves as replacement for Mozilla, it shall also handle them correctly. As that profile is not generated by iceape, I'd say it's not an iceape bug.
