Summary: Butterfly fails often with
text.py:175:_signal_text_received:UnicodeDecodeError:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1:
ordinal not in range(128)
Product: Telepathy
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638004
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: butterfly
AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: kvikende at fsfe.org
QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
This might be Fedora specific (but I don't think so as I have memories of this
happening on Debian as well).
Sometimes when receiving a message in Empathy, the crash detecting utility on
Fedora, ABRT, detects a crash in Telepathy because of some way the strings are
handled. The specific crash is
text.py:175:_signal_text_received:UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec
can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
and as I recall the issue is with e-mails and not, as you would think, messages
with special characters.
The latest report is that this happens on the package
telepathy-butterfly-0.5.14-1.fc14. I couldn't decide which version this
affected as I didn't find 0.5.14 in the list here in Bugzilla.
The bug report in Fedora is found at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638004 , there you will also find a
backtrace if you need one.
