GNOME 3.30.1 Released As A Big Assortment Of Fixes

[Guest]

Opening Epiphany (3.30.1) crashed when I open Preferences.

ERROR:../epiphany/lib/ephy-time-helpers.c:79:eel_strdup_strftime: assertion failed: (converted != NULL
Aborted (core dump)

I wiped out epiphany from .config, .cache, and .local/share. I uninstalled and reinstalled in Arch Linux and still get a crash.

Windows 10 installation is so weird, compared even with Windows 7.

People knock Windows for many things, but one thing it's always done well since Vista is that the shell or graphics driver crashing doesn't bring down the entire session like GNOME does.

No, but Vista did overheat my laptop a few times a day. And before you say it was the hardware: nope, 'cause when I replaced it with Ubuntu, it never overheated anymore. Not even once, not even under extreme conditions. So it was definetely a Windows Vista flaw.

Nah, GNOME developers tend to ignore issues on GItLab, except when those regarding Nautilus.

They've fixed quite a lot of the ones I've reported.

Okay. As it turns out, the Preference dialog will crash if the locale command outputs as C for all the locale variables. This is in Arch Linux.

Everything is working with Epiphany once the proper value is set for locale.

No operating system is capable of using more than 100% of your system resources. Not even Vista.
If your system overheats then your system's cooling system is not dimensioned properly to handle the heat that a system produces.

What did I just read? Ever thought that it may not be designed to operate at 100% load all the time?

A system doesn't produce heat on its own, depends on the software being ran.

C is a valid locale, it's the POSIX locale, so this crash is definitively a bug

Am I the only one who discovered a bug when locale is set to C by default in Arch Linux?
