• [15:15] Bridie Linden: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6604
• [15:16] Torley Linden: Those supplied pix aren't clear to me. :|
• [15:16] Bambers Linden: have the Combat Lag steps on the wiki been tried yet?
• [15:16] Pastrami Linden: I think one is a *teeny* bit less emo than the other
• [15:16] Torley Linden: I recommend the next person who tries to take comparisons sit on a scripted object that positions their camera the EXACT same way, and turn off atmospheric shaders so the contrast isn't so great.
• [15:16] Torley Linden: LOL!
• [15:16] Bambers Linden: which one, Pastrami?
• [15:16] Torley Linden: Emo avs. :p
• [15:16] Harleen Gretzky: I even put my avatar in a prim and compared it in 1.19.1.4 and 1.20 and she was always the same height
• [15:16] Bri Gufler: I have been trying to get better screen shots since I have seen more profound differences on occasion.
• [15:16] Torley Linden: Thanks Bri!
• [15:16] Bridie Linden: lol
• [15:17] McCabe Maxsted: he does appear halfa head taller
• [15:17] Barry Reiter: could it be related to [1]
• [15:17] McCabe Maxsted: weird
• [15:17] Harleen Gretzky: Just the picture angle probably
• [15:17] Pastrami Linden: the neck- it's in the neck
• [15:17] Pastrami Linden: the neck of the second is much shorter
• [15:17] Alexa Linden: NO NECK!!!
• [15:17] Bri Gufler: I will be back home on Saturday and will attempt a more "scientific" data collection/screenshot process.

• [15:18] Gellan Glenelg: that looks similar to me, barry
• [15:18] Bridie Linden: It does look related Barry...
• [15:18] Bridie Linden: let's link 'em up
• [15:18] Alexa Linden: ok
• [15:18] Torley Linden: In a kinda funny way, this reminds me of those weight loss commercials.
• [15:18] Bambers Linden: lol
• [15:18] Bridie Linden: I'm not sure why 6604 is listed as duplicating svc-1281
• [15:18] Bri Gufler: haha I thought the same thng :)
• [15:19] Alexa Linden: me neither
• [15:19] Bridie Linden: Now if it were an emo swimmer...
• [15:19] Alexa Linden: lol - I can clear that
• [15:19] Barry Reiter: lol
• [15:19] Bambers Linden: I've discovered my place in life is a permanent "Before" picture...
• [15:19] Harleen Gretzky: It was brought up on the 23rd that the internal issues of both are marked as duplicates
• [15:19] Bri Gufler: Wow those are definitely related. Those screenshots on the 1620 entry look like what I have been seeing.
• [15:20] Bambers Linden: agreed
• [15:20] Torley Linden: Thanks for making the connection, Barry.
• [15:20] Bridie Linden: Yes, ty!
• [15:20] Bridie Linden: Next up then...

• [15:20] Bridie Linden: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6897
• [15:21] Garn Conover: rc4, might be diff in 5?
• [15:22] Bridie Linden: Not sure...
• [15:22] Bridie Linden: Darko might have diff pref settings for RC...
• [15:22] Bridie Linden: Have you noticed this Bambers?
• [15:22] Bri Gufler: Was it really disk usage? or was it a memory leak that was causing swapping? It was after 20 minutes.
• [15:23] Bridie Linden: good question Bri...
• [15:23] Bambers Linden: um
• [15:23] Bridie Linden: looks @ her activity mon...
• [15:23] Bambers Linden: I have actually on occasion
• [15:24] Bambers Linden: ummm
• [15:24] Bambers Linden: usually manifests itself as slowing down, often when turning around...
• [15:24] Bri Gufler: I have tried 1.20.5 on my Macbook Pro - I can't use it for more than a few minutes without beachballing. But haven't really looked at settings since I dont use the mac much.
• [15:25] Bambers Linden: realises something sounds familiar...
• [15:25] Bridie Linden: Yes?
• [15:25] Bridie Linden: The lock up issues we thought were fixed?
• [15:25] Bridie Linden: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/vwr-5623
• [15:26] Bambers Linden: I was thinking more the earlier issue about lag when turning round
• [15:26] Simon Kline: i was just going to add also that i think it's worse when ppl are animated ie. dancing
• [15:26] Bambers Linden: and high disk usage - I've experienced both of those today
• [15:27] Bridie Linden: Let's import and investigate a bit further...
• [15:27] Alexa Linden: ok

• [15:28] Bridie Linden: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6828
• [15:28] Torley Linden: Hm, it's a debug feature, but can be a very useful one.
• [15:28] Torley Linden: Those traditionally get prioritized as "Small" tho.
• [15:28] Bridie Linden: Let's import...
• [15:28] Alexa Linden: ok
• [15:28] Bridie Linden: but what Torley said is true...

• [15:29] Torley Linden: I haven't tried this most recently...
• [15:30] Garn Conover: want me to aks on channel?
• [15:30] McCabe Maxsted: maybe they have two versions of sl installed? Settings are still wiped if you switch between them
• [15:30] Bridie Linden: I'll try after this meeting, but am pretty sure Mani knocked this one out
• [15:30] Bambers Linden: I believe the joystick settings have just been fixed
• [15:31] Bridie Linden: Zorin tried it in RC4
• [15:31] Cummere Mayo: I think that they fixed soem of them in .5
• [15:31] Bambers Linden: I think the others may be fixed in 6
• [15:31] Bridie Linden: I think so too Cummere
• [15:31] Bambers Linden: or for then, anyway
• [15:31] Bridie Linden: So, prolly mark as Fixed Pending...

• [15:33] Cummere Mayo: yeah that one is a pain in the ass
• [15:33] Bridie Linden: Is this a dupe?
• [15:33] Bridie Linden: Sounds familiar...
• [15:33] Bri Gufler: I have seen that problem.
• [15:33] Torley Linden: Oh yeah I heard pains of this one...
• [15:33] Torley Linden: I think we looked at it before?
• [15:34] Torley Linden: Maybe that's why it sounds familiar... the # on it.

• [15:34] Alexa Linden: ok
• [15:35] Bridie Linden: Next...
• [15:35] Bridie Linden: VWR-6707[c
• [15:35] Bridie Linden: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6707
• [15:35] Torley Linden: (And yeah, VWR-6226 did come up before in https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_triage/2008-04-23/Transcript , where Bridie said it sounded familiar back then :) )
• [15:36] Bridie Linden: sarts for consistency?
• [15:36] Bridie Linden:  ;)
• [15:36] Torley Linden: Hahaha.
• [15:36] Torley Linden: Early 1.20 RCs crashed me a lot on login, I've had much better luck recently.
• [15:36] Garn Conover: its linked to the mega 6343 jira
• [15:36] Torley Linden: Sad to see it (at least in some manifestations) is still a problem tho.
• [15:36] Bridie Linden: nods
• [15:37] Garn Conover: so this might be fixed or it might be Per's attemoted to get pp lto make a new jira
• [15:37] Bridie Linden: Reporter is on XP but last comment is on Vista
• [15:38] Bridie Linden: Yeah, good comments from Peri in https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-6343
• [15:39] Torley Linden: Yeah totally, sarts for Peri!
• [15:39] Garn Conover: we need to remove all those old Jira tho
• [15:39] Bridie Linden: Now I'm reading VWR-3878
• [15:39] Garn Conover: its hard to tell which are new additions and which have been fixed
• [15:40] Bridie Linden: but that's an older patch from Nicholaz
• [15:40] Garn Conover: because Peri tried to close 6343 on the weekned
• [15:40] Bridie Linden: Yes, Garn and asked for new reports...
• [15:41] Bridie Linden: is there enough new info in 6707 Pastrami?
• [15:41] Garn Conover: i agree 6343 is way to big now
• [15:41] Bridie Linden: I'll point Peri @ 6707, but let's move on for now
• [15:41] Pastrami Linden: I mean, it's essentially all of Shiny's Viewer Stability work right now
• [15:41] Garn Conover: hey Brindie
• [15:41] Garn Conover: Bridie*
• [15:41] Pastrami Linden: crash rates are going up and back down
• [15:42] Bridie Linden: Yes Garn?
• [15:42] Garn Conover: i linked that one way back b4 the origional nvidia was fixed
• [15:42] Cummere Mayo: um theres allot mroe crashes then being reported
• [15:42] Cummere Mayo: the crash loggers STILL Fails allot in the .5
• [15:42] Garn Conover: so thats from RC3 or 4
• [15:43] Bridie Linden: Cummere, so no crash reporter after a hard crash? related to nvidia issues?
• [15:43] Cummere Mayo: sometimes theres not for me
• [15:43] Cummere Mayo: no
• [15:43] Cummere Mayo: BUT .5 has less nvidea issues then previous
• [15:43] Bridie Linden: yes
• [15:43] Bri Gufler: Actually the crash reporter never seems to work for me.
• [15:44] Bridie Linden: do you 2 get crash logs?
• [15:44] Cummere Mayo: it often either doesnt come on or crashes or jsut hangs up on tryign to transmit
• [15:44] McCabe Maxsted: most of the time when I attempt to send a crash report it freezes on "trying alternate server"
• [15:44] Dante Linden: sounds like we need a crash reporter crash reporter
• [15:44] Bri Gufler: Yes I get them - it just fails to send them.
• [15:44] Cummere Mayo: same
• [15:44] Bri Gufler: It says that its trying - flashes a lot and then exits.
• [15:44] Bridie Linden: Can you repro it?
• [15:45] Ellla McMahon: yes my crash reporter never works
• [15:45] Bri Gufler: If I leave the viewer up for 3-4 hours until it crashes it will happen every time.
• [15:45] Garn Conover: ok i must poof got a but try to bbs :) *poofs*
• [15:45] Bridie Linden: Would you mind opening a PJIRA for it?
• [15:45] Magnet Homewood: My crash report never seems to connect either
• [15:45] Bridie Linden: cya Garn
• [15:46] Cummere Mayo: there should be one
• [15:46] Ellla McMahon: I was wondering if it doesn;t work when it is marked send every time
• [15:46] Bri Gufler: I think I saw one out there. Thats why I didn't open another.
• [15:46] Gellan Glenelg: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4207 ?
• [15:46] Bridie Linden: And you're sure you have Adk Before Sending pref checked for Crash REporter?
• [15:46] McCabe Maxsted: [2]
• [15:46] Bri Gufler: At first I suspected my software firewall on my machine but it still happens with that off.
• [15:47] Cummere Mayo: 6369 is oen of them and part of the reason
• [15:47] Bridie Linden: hmms...internal issue looks resolved...
• [15:48] Bridie Linden: looks @ 6369
• [15:48] Cummere Mayo: but there were other pjiras for it, but if you want ill make another bridie
• [15:48] Cummere Mayo: yeah it says fixed but I cant find that file at all on my sytem
• [15:49] Bri Gufler: 4207 is still open. Should we just add to that one?
• [15:49] Light: off:
• [15:49] McCabe Maxsted: hm reading the comments they dont' seem to say about the specific issue I've seen, which is failing to connect. Might warrent a new issue
• [15:50] Bridie Linden: Let's make a new issue, but link to previous one, pls
• [15:50] Ellla McMahon: also here https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-548
• [15:50] Cummere Mayo: ok ill make one then
• [15:50] Cummere Mayo: oh heres antoher one part of it https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-5832
• [15:51] Bridie Linden: thx
• [15:51] Bridie Linden: There has been more work done on the crash reporter, so I'd love it if you linked up these issues to new issue
• [15:52] Bridie Linden: ping me w/new issue when you get to it...
• [15:52] Bridie Linden: let's see if we can get through a couple of more issues before closing time.
• [15:52] Bridie Linden: another freeze issue...
• [15:52] Bridie Linden: VWR-6912[c
• [15:53] Torley Linden: Reminds me of that one you asked me about earlier today, Bridie...
• [15:53] Torley Linden: except this one is with a single core.
• [15:53] Torley Linden: I'm curious what Fast Timers says.
• [15:53] Bridie Linden: oops, did I skip 6658?
• [15:54] Bridie Linden: but yes Torley...I'll link those up
• [15:54] Bridie Linden: Going back to...
• [15:54] Bridie Linden: VWR-6658[c
• [15:54] Torley Linden: That's a great repro image.
• [15:55] Gellan Glenelg:  :)
• [15:55] Torley Linden: :D
• [15:55] Bridie Linden: I'm bettting this is fixed...
• [15:55] Torley Linden: Gellan, still seeing it in RC5?
• [15:55] Gellan Glenelg: haven't check recently
• [15:55] Torley Linden: Hmmm I can't repro it in RC5.
• [15:55] Torley Linden: Spatial position looks correct to me...
• [15:55] Gellan Glenelg: it wasn't my issue originally - just spoke to the guy ans added s/shot
• [15:56] Gellan Glenelg: yeah - it looks to be fixed
• [15:56] Alexa Linden: ok
• [15:56] Bridie Linden: Yea!
• [15:56] Alexa Linden: will mark as such
• [15:56] Bri Gufler: looks OK on windows
• [15:56] Torley Linden: Also, for those of you builders who appreciate temporal precision, I hope you have Options' (in Edit Tools) "Show Cross Sections" on.
• [15:56] Torley Linden: It's another useful tool which isn't known about very well.
• [15:56] Torley Linden: ("Options" button under "Use Grid" checkbox.)
• [15:56] Bridie Linden: and remember Tools menu doesn't show until you're building something now...
• [15:57] Torley Linden: aka Tools menu > Grid Options
• [15:57] Torley Linden: very good reminder Bridie, I'll have to include mention of that in upcoming building video tutorials =)
• [15:57] Bri Gufler: That took a bit of getting used to :)
• [15:57] Torley Linden: Aye.
• [15:57] Bridie Linden: nods
• [15:57] Torley Linden: I often have to reset my mind and think like a newcomer again.
• [15:57] Bridie Linden: Well, we're bumping up against 4:00pm
