GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 99218
cannot save article text
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
After selecting an article from a newsgroup, I right-click to save-as the article text. Permissions on the receiving directories are 770. No saved article appears. Same problem occurred in 13.1 on the same platforms. Saving attachments works fine on all combos of release and platform.
Same thing happens with 0.13.2.90 under redhat 8.0, but _not_ redhat 7.3. -021125
I can't reproduce this; perhaps there are only some messages not saved? Could you provide group + message-id of a recent message whose text you can't save?
Happens with every article I select, regardless of newsgroup. I used the following invocation for debugging output: /usr/local/bin/pan --debug --debug-cache --debug-sockets --debug-queue --debug-decode --debug-newsrc --debug-gnksa --debug-trace --debug-lock --debug-object & The following is an example of "save as" failure. Pan attempts to save article text 4 times and fails each time. The applicable debug output line is: ( queue.c:944: queue_run_thread)(thread 0x81a7af0)(time 19:35:48) QUEUE: queue task[0x8472880] (Saving "Re: file sharing") returned: -1 The specific article in this case was: ( sockets.c:345: pan_socket_getline)(thread 0x81a6840)(time 19:35:37) SOCKET INPUT: socket [0x8489808] received [Subject: Re: file sharing ] ( sockets.c:345: pan_socket_getline)(thread 0x81a6840)(time 19:35:37) SOCKET INPUT: socket [0x8489808] received [Message-ID: <uiGFhzklCHA.2000@tkmsftngp04> ] ( sockets.c:345: pan_socket_getline)(thread 0x81a6840)(time 19:35:37) SOCKET INPUT: socket [0x8489808] received [Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin
odd. There are a couple of places where this could be failing, so let me shoot out a couple of questions: 1. Is the log icon in the lower right of the main window changing from `info' to `error', or do you get at "Unable to save \"%s\": the article(s) couldn't be downloaded." message? 2. Can you repeat this behavior for articles that are cached; ie, they've already been downloaded and have the little green disk icon in the header pane?
I think I've got it: I'm able to reproduce this if I check both the `save attachments' and `save text' and there are no attachments. The `save attachments' piece fails, and the task aborts with -1 before getting saving the article text. Fixed in cvs head for the next release: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=task-save.c&rev1=1.28&rev2=1.29&root=/cvs/gnome http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=ChangeLog&rev1=1.1603&rev2=1.1604&root=/cvs/gnome
