[21:17:46] ugh. so i am trying to find out how to get a FileBackend instance [21:17:54] and i found this method in FileRepo: [21:18:05] . /** [21:18:05] * Get the file backend instance. Use this function wisely. [21:18:05] * [21:18:05] * @return FileBackend [21:18:05] */ [21:18:05] public function getBackend() { [21:18:06] return $this->backend; [21:18:06] } [21:18:20] helpful [21:58:20] tgr|away: yeah, I usually grep the exception logs first to try and identify the cause and then do --delete [21:58:38] tgr|away: also "whenever he tries to login" suggests a different bug, since during login something else should catch the exception [23:40:53] tgr|away: re: my main fear with these things [=SVG support] is that we spend a bunch of time on it and then no one is actually going to use it [23:40:56] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cmglee/Dynamic_SVG_for_Wikimedia_projects
