nixternalI tend to have that effect since I spent the last 10 years of my life going to school for it :)00:00
Riddellimbrandon: I'd go with just 3.97, that might needs a newer kdelibs00:00
Riddellnixternal: how was your last exam?00:00
cheguevara_ah figures :P00:00
nixternalwell, considering I coded in standard and Konqueror, FF, Opera, and Safari understand what standard is, the professor had a heart attack when it didn't work in IE...but all went well00:01
imbrandonRiddell: ok00:01
nixternalnote to javascript developers, when jslint says it is perfect, that means it won't work in IE :p00:02
cheguevara_;P00:02
mayecogmail still dont work in konqueror 3.97.100:03
cheguevara_apparently IE 8 will pass the acid2 test00:03
nixternalya, I read that...about time00:03
nixternalnow FF just needs to pass it00:03
cheguevara_its planned for gecko 1.9 i think00:04
cheguevara_too bad Ubulette's FF 3 build don't show most of the icons on KDE for some reason00:06
jjessethere is an interesting video at channel9.msdn.com w/ the ie team00:06
kwwiicheguevara_: are you sure that was just in kde?00:07
cheguevara_kwwii, am not sure, there was a couple of gnome people complaining, but I think they sorted it by installing the gnome support package00:08
cheguevara_the reply i got form Ubulette is something like "I'll look to it in the future, but I don't really care that much since Ubuntu uses gnome..."00:08
cheguevara_*into it00:09
imbrandon...00:09
mhbcheguevara_: who ís that?00:09
cheguevara_his cairo/fontconfig builds managed to fix a kde's ugly password dots somehow though00:10
jjessecan i ask a kde4 question?00:10
cheguevara_mhb, a guy from the ubuntu mozilla team00:10
imbrandonjjesse: never00:10
mhbjjesse: sure00:10
jjesseso the "system tray" or whatever that runs in the bottom, how do i get it back?00:10
jjessedo i have to build each widget or ?00:10
kwwiicheguevara_: right, that was a bug in gutsy as well00:10
cheguevara_kwwii, yeah but it surfaced again in hardy00:11
cheguevara_after the new fontconfig got uploaded00:11
kwwiisure, we haven't fixed it yet :p00:11
kwwiiit has something to do with the loading of a different theme irrc00:11
kwwiiie, if you use the normal FF icons it works fine00:11
kwwiior something like that, all I know is 1) it is a code problem and 2) it will be fixed for hardy00:12
cheguevara_kwwii, are you talking about the password dots or the missing icons?00:12
kwwiicheguevara_: the icons00:13
jjesseanyone?00:13
cheguevara_kwwii, right00:13
cheguevara_sorry got a bit confused00:13
kwwii:-)00:13
mayecojjesse: nobody...00:13
cheguevara_kwwii, I still use it and just guess where my refresh button is lol00:13
mhbjjesse: I think the tray is here now, isn't there?00:14
mhbjjesse: if not, try:00:14
jjessemine disappeared some how, complete with kmenu00:14
mhbjjesse: a) removing all your build files, sometimes old plasmoids overlap and that is not nice.00:14
mhbjjesse: b) removing the .kde4 directory.00:14
cheguevara_its not kmenu any more :p00:14
mayecokmenu is not in kde400:14
mayecoyah00:14
mayecono more kmenu...00:15
mayeconow everything is plasma... :D00:15
jjessemhb: i didn't build from scracth (used kubuntu packages)it all the sudden disappeared one restart00:15
cheguevara_or kicker :P00:15
mhbjjesse: hmm, strange-o00:15
mayecoahaha he left00:15
cheguevara_Riddell, so what about libgif then, you want me to do rebuilds of all the affected packages00:15
Riddellhi rdieter, have you seen my qt port of system-config-printer-applet? http://muse.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/printer-setup.png00:15
rdieterRiddell: neat.00:16
kwwiiwow, Riddell has the same printer as I00:17
Riddellrdieter: the author of the gtk side doesn't seem terribly keen to let me work in his repository (or maybe he's just gone on christmas holiday)00:17
jjesseremoving the .kde4 dir did it thanks00:17
Riddellrdieter: do you think the fedora-kde team would package and use it?00:17
Riddellkwwii: that's the one mepis bought me00:18
rdieterRiddell: I'd bet on the latter (his busy/on-holiday), sure, we'd be interested.00:18
Riddellrdieter: cool, I'll let you know when it's in a state to be packaged00:18
rdieterlooking forward to it.00:19
mhbso, are we going to have a meeting on Saturday?00:20
kwwiiRiddell: only in ubuntu mine always says that it is low on ink - I thought it was a bug but perhaps the printer itself is defect00:20
mhbit might be a good time to get everyone's opinions together.00:20
Riddellkwwii: ah, mine too00:20
Riddellmhb: I hope so, although I can't guarantee to be there00:20
mhbwell we'll just talk about current events, no need to decide.00:21
mhbso go ahead and enjoy the holidays00:21
Riddellnixternal: could you add it to the fridge calendar?00:21
nixternaldate and time?00:22
cheguevara_when's alpha 2 coming out then00:22
cheguevara_still seems to be a lot of activity in archives00:22
Riddellnixternal: Saturday 22nd at 11:00 UTC00:23
Riddellcheguevara_: maybe tomorrow, there's still issues with the desktop ones00:23
nixternalgotcha00:23
cheguevara_ah00:23
nixternaladded to the fridge00:26
ardchoilleI always get hungry when people refer to the fridge00:27
cheguevara_Riddell, so just so I don't do useless work what do you want me to do with the libgif thing? Rebuild all the affected packages (not only kde ones) and post debdiffs to speed it up00:27
cheguevara_ardchoille: lol00:27
Riddellcheguevara_: yeah, everything in apt-cache rdepends libungif4g00:27
cheguevara_Riddell: gotcha00:28
imbrandonRiddell: should i add the bindings from playground too ( like phpqt ) or like later make a kdebindings-extra-kde4 with those00:29
cheguevara_mmm phpqt00:30
Riddellimbrandon: they should be kept separate until they're in KDE proper00:30
imbrandonk00:31
imbrandonin that case i'll definately have something finished tonight i'd say i'm aobut 50% done00:31
mhbhow do you start a KDE4 session in kubuntu?00:31
cheguevara_hmmm00:32
nosrednaekimmhb: log out and select kde4 under sessions00:32
cheguevara_whats control.in used for (vs just control)00:32
mhbcheguevara_: the .in means it will get processed00:33
mhbcheguevara_: something will process control.in into control.00:33
cheguevara_so just like Makefile.in basically00:33
imbrandonyup00:35
* Riddell snoozes00:36
mhbgood night00:36
cheguevara_night Riddell00:37
cheguevara_hmm00:59
cheguevara_how come pdebuild some times doesn't start building in a chroot00:59
cheguevara_but just starts building same way as debuild01:00
=== rdieter is now known as rdieter_afk
nixternalawesome! we just played Santa for a needy family...it was really neat01:32
nosrednaekim:D01:34
cheguevara_:P01:38
nixternalmy lord, kde4libs is still building01:44
nosrednaekimit only took an hour on my TurionX201:44
nixternalI think I have easily pushed that01:44
cheguevara_lol01:44
cheguevara_didn't take that long on my lappy actually01:44
nixternalit only takes about 15 minutes on my desktop, not running debuild, but doing a svn build01:44
cheguevara_yeah thats what i did yesterday01:45
nixternalI am running 'debuild -nc' just to make sure it works out and to make sure no files were lost in the debian build process01:45
cheguevara_svn looks a bit better then rc 201:45
cheguevara_now emacs2201:45
cheguevara_thats taking long to build01:45
nixternaloh ya01:46
nixternalI remember when the guy who is maintaining started the buzz earlier this year on it, so I grabbed it and built for some of the Edgy users and it was insane01:46
cheguevara_heh01:47
cheguevara_ah its done01:47
cheguevara_yay01:47
cheguevara_thats all the packages in main built fine agains libgif01:47
* cheguevara_ is thinking about the 30 something in universe01:49
cheguevara_hey Hobbsee01:50
Hobbseeheya!01:51
cheguevara_how are you today>01:52
cheguevara_*?01:52
Hobbseedoing OK01:54
* Hobbsee reads the kubuntu list01:54
cheguevara_no LTS :P01:55
Hobbseeyes, i know that01:55
Hobbseebut seeing the backlash01:56
cheguevara_what do you mean01:56
Hobbseefrom waht other kubuntu people said about it01:57
cheguevara_ah gotcha01:58
nosrednaekimI think  most of the devs like it..02:01
* Hobbsee spoke to keybuk about it (member of the TB), and it all sounded faily sane02:01
Hobbseeand there are some really wrong perceptions out there02:01
nixternalHobbsee: what wrong perceptions?02:02
Hobbseenixternal: mainly about what canonical is demanding kubuntu do.  Riddell has a free reign (almost fully) over what he wants to do, and it's otherwise community driven02:03
cheguevara_there's really no point of putting a lot of work into kde 3 just to pretty much throw it away in hardy+102:03
Hobbseecheguevara_: that was my logic02:03
nixternalyup02:03
cheguevara_especially with the highly limited resources available02:04
Hobbseenixternal: the specs are supposed to be what the community (& riddell) has come up with that they want to acheive for the next release, and then get discussed at UDS02:04
cheguevara_would be great if kde 4.1 is out before hardy02:05
nosrednaekimcheguevara_: it won't be02:06
cheguevara_nosrednaekim, definitely?02:06
nosrednaekimcheguevara_: 99% sure02:07
cheguevara_damn02:07
cheguevara_actually yeah you are probably right, there's a lot of stuff thats been pushed to 4.102:07
nosrednaekimthats like 2 months02:07
cheguevara_are both KDEs gonna fit on the cd?02:08
Hobbseeno02:08
cheguevara_so it's still gonna be a kde3 and kde4 cd02:10
cheguevara_all in all this dev cycle is about to get very fun :P02:12
nosrednaekimheh02:13
Hobbseei don't know what they'll do w.r..t cds02:13
cheguevara_yeah because if a user is gonna have a choice of the 2, the cds can't be separate02:14
Hobbseethe cds will have to be separate.02:14
cheguevara_yeah i am saying02:14
Hobbseebut, you can install one from the other, etc02:14
cheguevara_separate as in not related to each other02:14
Hobbseeoh right, ye02:14
Hobbsees02:15
Hobbseei thought you were insisting that they both had to go on hte same cd02:15
cheguevara_nah i know thats not possible02:15
cheguevara_current kde 3 barely fits :P02:15
nosrednaekimthats because of Open office02:16
cheguevara_good point02:17
cheguevara_is the new koffice any good02:17
nosrednaekimmmmh02:20
nosrednaekimnot really02:21
cheguevara_figures...02:21
blizzzekgn802:40
cheguevara_night02:40
cheguevara_hmmm02:43
cheguevara_universe and main might be merging eh02:43
Hobbseeish02:44
Hobbseesomething like that.02:44
cheguevara_even Mark posted on the topic :P02:44
ardchoilleWhat I need is more hands and eyes.. so I can do bug triage, packaging and support in #kubuntu02:45
ardchoilleall at once02:45
Hobbseegood luck :)02:45
ardchoillelol02:45
cheguevara_lol02:45
cheguevara_good night04:02
* DaSkreech bows04:02
nixternalDaSkreech: I was thinking about you earlier04:06
nixternalI watched Cool Runnings :)04:06
ScottKHeya nixternal.04:06
ScottKGlad you're happy with the news.04:06
nixternalwasabi ScottK04:06
nixternaloh hell ya!04:06
nixternalI was beginning to really worry04:06
ScottKI think it's great for enthusiasts.  I'm not sure it's so great for those of use trying to get work done.04:07
ScottKMy primary desktop is still dapper because I don't like to mess with it.04:07
nixternalwhy not? you will still have a choice between KDE 3 and KDE 404:07
DaSkreechnixternal: of course that would invoke images of me04:07
nixternalhehe04:07
ScottKWell I had the idea KDE3 was going to be well supported in Hardy.  Now it appears not.04:08
DaSkreechnixternal: news?04:08
nixternalit will still be supported, but does it make sense to concentrate on a desktop environment that will be losing support though?04:08
nixternalalso kde 3 apps right now aren't being worked on as upstream efforts are kde 4 as well04:09
ScottKnixternal: I'd say does it make sense to concentrate on a bleeding edge brand new thing that won't be ready for prime time until the next release?04:09
nixternalI say yes...easier to work on that than use the limited manpower we have to support the unsupported04:09
ScottKSo now I have the choice between unsupported old crap and bleeding edge incomplete unstable new crap.04:10
ScottKNot where I want to be.04:10
DaSkreechScottK: well if they are both crap....04:11
DaSkreechDoes it make a difference?04:11
ScottKWell our recent KDE3 releases haven't been.04:11
DaSkreechWell use KDE3 then04:12
ScottKExcept if we aren't expending energy to integrate it with the new packages in Hardy, bitrot sets in.04:12
ScottKKubuntu has, IMO, done a really good job keeping KDE3 integrated and working well even though upstream's focus has been on KDE4 for quite a while.04:13
ScottKI would have been nice to get another KDE3 LTS release so that people worried a lot about stability would have a place to wait for KDE4 to shape up in it's own good time.04:14
ScottKMy view is we could have made a good KDE3 release if we'd decided to.  No way is KDE4 going to be ready for prime time no matter what we do.04:14
ScottKOh well.04:15
nixternalhow is Dapper any more stable than Feisty or Gutsy though?04:15
ScottKIt's decided.04:15
ScottKI've used this box since just after Dapper was released.  It's not that Dapper is more stable, it's that I have had to risk the box to upgrades.04:16
nixternaljust imagine if every distribution had the mindset that "kde4 will not be ready for prime time no matter what is done."  it would never get a chance to evolve04:16
nixternalI have dist-upgraded at the beginning of every dev cycle, so I really don't know what the stable release are really like, except for what people tell me04:16
nixternaland thus far, everything I have been told about Kubuntu Gutsy hasn't been the greatest04:17
ScottKWell it feels to me like Kubuntu is now for enthusiasts only.04:17
ScottKI like Gutsy.  I just put it on my new Dell laptop and it just totally worked.04:17
nixternalI never had a problem with it either04:17
DaSkreechwell I dunno04:19
DaSkreechI'd assume that if the Corporate clients asked for a KDE3 hardy they would get it04:19
DaSkreechand they would probably get it by PPA04:19
nixternalhonestly I think that KDE dropping future support for KDE 3 isn't the hottest idea actually04:20
DaSkreechI wonder if there can be something semi official worked out04:20
nixternalwe will have both KDE 3 and KDE 4 releases04:20
nixternalbut we won't be LTS04:20
nixternalwe are just dropping the tag04:20
jjessewe should be lts04:20
nixternalif LTS makes everyone warm and fuzzy, and customers want to start paying for support so we can maintain something that won't be maintained for the next 3 years, then I am down with it04:21
jjesseif we had another paid full time develper we wouldn't be having this converstaion04:21
nixternalcome this time next year, bug fixes, updates and what not that are for KDE 3 will be 100% us, and we just don't have the manpower to take on such a task04:21
nixternalone more full-time dev wouldn't even help it04:21
nixternalwe don't even have 1/10th what Ubuntu has04:22
jjesseit would ease the discussion04:22
nixternalpaid and unpaid04:22
nixternalif you look at all of the large Kubuntu rollouts, they aren't Dapper04:22
nixternalthey are Feisty or newer04:22
DaSkreechWait we are dropping KDE3?04:22
nixternalthe French Parliament nor the Canary Islands chose LTS04:22
nixternalno we aren't dropping KDE 304:23
nixternalwe will have 2 choices for Hardy04:23
nixternalChoice 1:  KDE 304:23
nixternalChoice 2:  KDE 404:23
jjessewill be an early adopter of kde4 really help with adding those extra devs?  i would argue it doesn't until we get more full time paid support04:25
nixternalwell by us having a kde 4 release will hopefully bring in new interest, as it has for openSUSE, Fedora, Foresight, PC Linux OS, and more04:26
nixternalif we don't adopt now, we will be the only distro that hasn't...and you thought we were behind now, we would be so far behind our goal would be unreachable pretty much04:28
jjessei guess i'm just frustrated after using ubuntu all week and seeing how much further ahead and polished it seems04:29
jjessemy wife can use ubuntu and doesn't understand kubuntu04:29
DaSkreechdo we get more money slushed to us if more companies select Kubuntu as it's OS when it pays Canonical?04:30
jjesseDaSkreech: being cynical i would argue that we wouldn't04:31
nixternaland our KDE 3 has pretty much completed all of the "catchup" stuff that was proposed at UDS, but does it make sense to write code for something that won't be around, only to have to rewrite it for our future?04:31
Hobbseejjesse: agreed @ ubuntu04:31
nixternalthat is only because Ubuntu has 10 times what we have volunteer wise04:33
jjessenot only volunteer wise but paid wise and it shows04:33
* jjesse is a little frustrated today04:34
nixternalhehe04:34
nixternalpaid wise we can't do nothing about, that is Canonical and they made it clear we are staying the way we are04:34
jjessedidn't mark at one time say there was going to be another paid dev?04:35
nixternalI believe so, but at OpenWeek Jucato busted him on it04:36
Jucatooooh I was beeped :)04:36
nixternalhehe04:36
Jucatostill trying to read the scrollback :)04:36
nixternalJucato: just talking about how you attacked sabdfl while he was on the stand :p04:36
Jucatoattacked? oh heavens no! I was merely trying to lure him into a trap :D04:37
Jucato(glad Lure isn't around :P)04:37
DaSkreechha ha04:37
jjesseand you were successfull04:37
Jucatoheh :)04:37
Jucatoglad you're enjoying Ubuntu as much as I'm rediscovering the joys of XP04:38
* Jucato runs for his life04:38
nixternalhahahaha04:38
DaSkreech!vista04:39
ubotuvista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org04:39
Jucato!visternal04:39
ubotuOh no!  The pointy-clicky Vista lover has arrived!  He's rumoured to be giving out free money, too!04:39
Jucatooh man do I need money right now :)04:40
jjesseok heading to time bed, just finished wrapping wifes presents04:40
nixternalhehe04:40
DaSkreechTell me about it I may have to rob my boss to reach the release party04:40
Jucatook I just misread that :)04:40
nixternalmy dog ate 2 of my presents this morning04:40
nixternalhe didn't just unwrap them, he ate them04:40
DaSkreechJucato: you too?04:40
Jucatofinished wrapping wifes...04:40
DaSkreechplesants?04:41
Jucatook now to read scrollbacks :)04:41
Jucatook done :)04:44
Jucatonow I have to wash my brain w/ some mt.dew :P04:44
DaSkreechcode monkey like tab04:46
* Jucato sighs04:53
Jucatooops sighed in the wrong room...04:53
* DaSkreech is too tired to link that back into a jucato wife wrapping joke04:53
DaSkreechSo let me get this sorted04:54
DaSkreechUbuntu is the only one shipping LTS in 8.04 ?04:54
Jucatoyes04:55
nixternalNO04:57
nixternalput it this way, as it currently stands, Kubuntu is the only one not shipping an LTS04:57
nixternalunless Edubuntu and Xubuntu don't do LTS, then you would be correct I guess :)04:57
JucatoI wasn't really considering Edubuntu...04:58
Hobbseeedubuntu isn't even having a separate release04:58
Hobbseeedubuntu has an addon cd to ubuntu now04:58
nixternalahhh04:58
Jucatobut given how Xubuntu packages have been/are being moved to universe, I don't think Xubuntu will have LTS :)04:58
Hobbseexubuntu doesn't do LTS, as it's not commercially supported anyway04:58
* Jucato nods04:58
Hobbseeunless it's community is doing security fixes for it04:59
Jucatothat myth was clarified in devel-discuss...04:59
Jucato(in a few threads)04:59
Jucatohm.. I'm not sure what commercial support for Kubuntu even really means anyway :P04:59
nixternalwell if you call asking for it, then it means nothing, as the people answering the phones in Canada don't know how to fix it05:00
HobbseeJucato: that they can call up montreal, and get support05:00
Hobbseeand that there are security fixes for X years, done by the paid security people05:00
nixternalI helped a local guy, along with mjg59 on an issue that the tech support couldn't figure out in a month05:00
* Jucato whistles...05:00
nixternaloh, and we did it in less than 10 minutes05:00
DaSkreechHobbsee: does that mean that edubuntu is back down to one cd?05:00
HobbseeDaSkreech: it's an addon to ubuntu, so i think so, yes05:01
JucatoHobbsee: "done by the paid security people" <-- I doubt that applies to Kubuntu anyway :)05:01
Jucatoat least for the KDE packages...05:01
HobbseeJucato: no, kees has done some of them05:02
Jucatooh05:02
nixternalkwwii_: you coming to the midwest?05:02
Jucatonice then05:02
nixternalhe is probably in route to the states already, or still sleeping05:02
Jucatooh well... spilt milk :)05:02
nixternalhopefully he will be coming here to Chicago, so I can test out the whole "Germans can drink" theory :)05:02
Jucatohahah :)05:03
nixternalhey, it's for science05:03
Jucatonixternal: btw, where did you get the announcement about KDE dropping support for KDE3?05:03
nixternalwell, they are discussing right now with mass support on closing everything KDE 3 in b.k.o05:04
* Jucato has been out of the loop...05:04
Jucatooh that?05:04
nixternalya, but now they are wondering when I guess..I will have to read all of the posts to be exact05:04
* Jucato doesn't consider that as an indicator05:04
Jucato:P05:05
nixternalno, but consider that 3.5.8 could be the last, and if not, then 3.5.9 will definitely be the last05:05
Jucato3.5.9 I think... but afaik it will still be supported for some time, probably through other means (KDAB, PIM enterprise...)05:05
Jucatobut then again... I've been out of the loop for a week so I can't say :)05:06
nixternalI am looking at all of the KDE 3.5 commits now to see what all has been done05:06
nixternalthus far, it seems that scripty is tops :)05:06
Jucatoheheh05:06
JucatoI just wished the TB just informed us a bit sooner about this... or even perhaps consulted us? (or they did, but I wasn't around?)05:08
Jucatohm... tbh, I don't think the "LTS" tag really does much for us except for marketing. so it practically doesn't matter if 8.04 is LTS or not. except now we have an excuse to focus more on KDE4 :D05:09
Jucatoeither way, nixternal will surely rock :)05:11
DaSkreechha ha05:12
nixternalKDE 3 codebase will be left open for security and code-loss issues from what I am reading05:12
nixternalthe last kdebase in the kde3 branch, by a human being, was October05:16
Jucatonot that too long ago... but yeah, all hands are on kicking 4.0 out the door right now05:17
* Jucato is imagining kde3 to get some attention a bit after that... just a bit :)05:17
nixternaland that attention will of course make its way into Kubuntu05:18
DaSkreechKDE 3 will probably have commits for a year after KDE4 starts shipping05:19
JucatoI can still remember what aseigo said before, that some KDE deployments were still using KDE 2... and that was early this year...05:20
DaSkreechUsing and commiting are two things in my mind05:21
Jucatotrue05:22
ScottKWell it's probably just me, but my perception is we just went from Hardy being about Kubuntu with KDE3 catching up with Ubuntu and KDE4 getting in for testing and enthusiasts use to lets do KDE4 and not worry to much about KDE3.05:25
ScottKFor someone who planned to pretty much live in KDE3, that's a big shift, LTS or not.05:26
DaSkreechYeah it is05:32
DaSkreechI was comfortable with where we were at except for the whole maintain KDE3 till time breaks down part05:32
ScottKPersonally, I think Hardy +1 would have been the time to shift to KDE4 by default and put a big push behind it.05:33
Jucatobut then we'd be behind everyone else... maybe... dunno :)05:34
Jucatowell at least nixternal's enthusiastic/excited/invigorated/motivated about this. that's all the reassurance I need :)05:35

mhbhmm09:03
mhbit seems to me that the information of Kubuntu KDE4 adoption has not spread too far09:03
buzon the technological side i agree on not doing a LTS. not sure if its wise politically.09:17
buzwhen is kde 3.5 eol?09:18
mhbbuz: well, it's not really actively developed anymore09:19
buznot sure about that09:19
mhbso I guess it ends when a distro like Slackware moves to KDE4.09:19
buzthere's a 3.5.9 planned i believe09:19
buzbut if the case can be made, that kde 3.5 won't have hardy+3y of upstream support, then hardy should not be a LTS in any case09:20
mhbthere are several sides to this issue09:20
buzi know09:20
mhba) it will be very hard to produce a KDE4 CD release09:20
buzbut this is one of those that everyone would understand09:20
mhbbecause the packages would have to be moved to main, and I am not sure the Ubuntu main administrators will allow both KDE3 and KDE4 to co-exist09:21
buzat this point in time, they pretty much will have to09:21
mhbb) it could be influenced by Ubuntu marketing09:21
buzi dont see much in the line of useable kdepim4 for one09:21
mhbnow the only version that is LTS is Ubuntu09:21
mhbwhich may have been their goal as well.09:22
buzpersonally i dont mind it09:22
mhbc) it has been decided outside the Kubuntu community09:22
mhbwe have had talks about this in UDS the developer summit.09:23
mhband there, we decided that we are going to push KDE3 and go for a LTS release.09:23
mhbnobody had any trouble with it09:23
mhbbut now, because of some High Council, we have to drop our efforts09:23
buzwell i dont see how one could do away with kde3 for hardy09:24
buztoo much infrastructure still depends on it09:24
mhbindeed09:24
mhbhardy would have to be a mixed KDE4/KDE3 desktop CD09:24
buzyes09:24
mhbif we want to make the most of the transition, we would need to be allowed to ship (as in Ship It) those CDs as official ones09:25
mhbbut that would mean we would have to move parts of KDE4 into the main repository09:25
buzbut realistically, it's the enterprise that needs LTS. how many people really use Kubuntu in enterprise situations?09:25
mhband again, we would meet resistance from the Ubuntu part09:25
mhbI am afraid09:25
mhbbuz: no clue. I guess our user base is much bigger than the customer bas.e09:26
buzyes09:27
buzbut how many of the users truly need lts09:27
buzseems to me that most kubuntu users will upgrade quickly to get the shiny new stuff anyhow09:27
mhbthe notion from Technical Board is "try to adopt KDE4"... and I hope we'll be allowed to09:28
mhbwe need to go and ask about all possible issues, because I wouldn't be trying to port several apps and then find out that we're not allowed to do this CD09:29
buzubuntu is behaving a bit weird09:30
buzon one side, they dont support kubuntu much09:30
buzon the other hand, they want to call the shots09:30
buzs/ubuntu/canonical/09:30
mhbright, I would like them to say "okay, we won't block you in porting parts of KDE4 into main"09:31
mhband making a CD out of it09:31
buzyeah that would be the only sane way09:32
buzif its not going to be a LTS release, there's no sane reason why kde4 should not be on the cd (alongside kde3)09:32
=== mhb changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Welcome to the Kubuntu developers channel | Meeting Saturday 22nd at 11:00 UTC - main event: KDE4 and no-LTS discussions, be there!
mhbbuz: well09:35
mhbbuz: we cannot possibly ship all of KDE4 and KDE3.09:35
mhbbuz: we can ship (hopefully) parts of KDE4 and parts of KDE3 together.09:35
buzwell kdelibs3 will probably have to be in09:35
mhbsome apps don't have to be there, konqueror or dolphin or konsole09:36
mhbor okular09:36
mhball those are good enough (or will soon be) in KDE409:36
teKnofreakdon't we have a month more to see the final state of KDE4?09:38
teKnofreakfinal state as in how is it going to be when released*09:39
mhbwe do, but we need to act fast, we cannot really wait09:39
mhbI don't know which path we take, but we have to make sure that it can be done09:40
mhblike do a KDE4/KDE3 hybrid CD asap09:40
teKnofreakthen we have to start preparing those things which seem to be stable with kde4, into kubuntu, leaving behind which we are afraid will not be09:40

MaximLevitskyOh boy, how broken kmail is in gutsy!11:24
MaximLevitskyIMAP is unusable11:24
buzi find it works quite well11:24
buzcompared to older versions11:24
MaximLevitskyI have a box on google, ans it has lots of mail (1 year of LKML+ others)11:25
MaximLevitskyAnd suddenly kmail tells me that all the mail is unread11:26

MaximLevitskyI did11:26
buzmhh11:26
buzdidnt help?11:26
MaximLevitskyI even recreated the account in kmail11:26
buzi occasionally see folders with mails that are unread11:26
MaximLevitskyNothing11:26
buzusually compact folder helps11:26
MaximLevitskyWhat is interesting is that sometimes folder show ok, and sometimes not11:27
MaximLevitskySome show few unread messages, but wrong ones11:27
MaximLevitskySome show that all messages are unread, but few aren't11:28
MaximLevitskyComplete mess11:28

nixternal:p17:46
Jucatohahah :D17:46
nixternalI took it back because you wanted to create more work :)17:46
jpatrickKatapult has a problem with cmake, compiles and then refuses to run17:47
nixternaljucato.getHugs();17:47
Jucatokatapult's still alive? O.o17:47
* Jucato hides from jpatrick17:47
jpatrickkinda17:47
nixternalhey, katapult is by far my favorite app still17:47
Jucato:D17:47
Jucatoit was... kinda grew less fond of it... krunner is gonna be a tough competition to beat soon...17:47
Jucatoand Gnome Do... :/17:48
nixternalgnome didn't17:48
Jucatolol :D17:48
nixternalthey copied katapult but added some drop down thing right?17:48
yuriyoh Jucato you're already working on adept stuff?17:48
Jucatoyuriy: adept bugs mostly... I left 29 still New bugs for you :)17:49
JucatoI mostly changed some bugs to Incomplete... and gonna wait for replies17:49
yuriywell i'll help you out when i get to work in a half hour if there's nothing to do there17:49
Jucatoand I have one patch in my brain for adept installer... pending learning how to patch a patch :)17:49
nixternalyou know, I like adept updater17:50
nixternalit makes following updates much easier than the command line17:50
nixternalmuch easier to prevent an update as well17:50
Jucatoone thing I find funny about adept (as a whole) is the progress indicators when you fetch updates17:51
Jucatothe bottom progress bar doesn't seem to really be displaying the overall progress...17:51
nixternalwell, what I find annoying is all of the bouncing around adept does..and I mean graphically bouncing, resizing17:51
Jucato:)17:51
nixternalit isn't appealing to the eye17:51
Jucato(my main beef is actually w/ adept installer... but...)17:52
nixternalI click the icon, enter password, and minimize it so I don't have to watch it17:52
Jucatohehe17:52
nixternalI don't even think I have taken a look at the adept code...is is scary?17:52
Jucatofor me it is.. it's huge :)17:52
Jucatoand mixed... some STL stuff in there I think...17:53
* Jucato also so C++ exceptions at work.17:53
nixternalahh, STL stuff is easy17:53
nixternalI can do STL17:53
Jucato:)17:53
Jucatoanyway I only try to peek at the relevant parts... not at the whole :)17:54
nixternalI will have to check it out17:54
Jucatoso... how do I modify a previous patch? patch a patch? create a .diff that patches the patch? :)17:54
nixternalI have been trying to figure out how to do a merge with debian's kde4 packages...they added the ld stuff, but they changed around cdbs quite a bit, so I need to figure what to keep and what not to keep17:54
nixternalwhat I do is I create a tmp directory, copy the directory to patch, run the current patch, then edit the file, and then create a new patch...I don't use cdbs patching and what not17:55
nixternalI am old school I guess, but I am more comfortable that way17:55
JucatoI've never tried cdbs :)17:55
nixternalcdbs makes packaging in debian much easier I think17:56
nixternalbut I haven't played around with the patching and what not17:56
Jucatobut you know me... almost 2 years into Kubuntu and I still haven't gotten down packaging :P17:56
nosrednaekimJucato: I've been using Linux for 6 years and haven't compiled a kernel yet.... soo17:56
Jucatowhat's that?17:57
Jucato:D17:57
nosrednaekimlol17:57
Jucatoyuriy: I have to leave the 29 untouched bugs to you... at 02:00, I'm not confident about my comprehension skills :)17:58
nosrednaekimyay for Jucato!17:58
Jucatonixternal: I just need to give my patch a higher number than the patch I'm trying to modify right? to make sure the older patch gets applied first?17:59
Jucatoanyway... bed :)18:01
nixternalsounds about right to me18:01
jpatricknixternal: aha! with checkout --lightweight it's a lot faster18:04
* Jucato wonders how many pages it would take to print out Adept's code... just for fun...18:05
jpatrickhmm, it's even done18:06
* Jucato ->setStatuse( BED );18:06
* Jucato can't spell either...18:06
jjesseanyone else w/ kde4 have problems where everything freezes?18:14
nosrednaekimjjesse: nope18:14
fdovingjjesse: i had various problems with the packages, all sorted out when i compiled everything from svn.18:16
fdovingJucato: for the record, it's usually nicer to modify the existing patch, instead of patching the patches and then patch the patched patches over and over.. it'll become a big mess in the long run.18:19
fdovingunless you use quilt.18:20

nixternaldunno about a gender, but it sure as hell is a special type of breed :)20:17

=== d-miller_ is now known as d-miller
buzmaybe its a linux bug20:24
nixternalya, I seen it in alternate at point a long time ago20:24
buzit happens shortly after probing for disks20:24
nixternalI tend to shy away, when installing, from the LiveCDs20:24
nixternalmaybe the reason I don't see them anymore is because I disabled floppy support in the bios20:25
buzyeah i dont really like them20:25
buznixternal: i did that now20:25
orionjpatrick: Thanx! Maybe I'll try a mixed approach: just a few selected apps from svn along with hardy main20:25
buzbut i have never ever seen it so far20:25

buzmaybe most bios outthere are on auto20:25
buzbut this via mini itx had it on 1,44mb20:25

_StefanS_nosrednaekim: gave it away to the kde marketing team :D20:29
nosrednaekimits not for a developer, thats for sure... and it would die under vista20:29
_StefanS_yep..20:30
_StefanS_nosrednaekim: I would recommend anyone buying a core (2) duo T5xxx instead20:30
_StefanS_much more value20:30
_StefanS_nosrednaekim: enough complaining from me. D:20:31
buz_StefanS_: for my uses the c3 is good enough20:31
buzi want it for a fileserver, where lowpower is king20:31
_StefanS_buz: hopefully IO isn't king for you either.. good luck with the 70% cpu while copying files.20:31
buzeven a c3 can do 100mbit20:32
_StefanS_well guess its a matter of preference,( and money)20:33
_StefanS_anyone had luck with todays livecd ?20:34
buzmostly its a matter of noise for me :P20:34

buzi think it may be running in vesa though20:36
_StefanS_ah well, didn't try that20:37
buzwell live cd does that20:37
_StefanS_nah not default AFAIK.. it tries to autodetect video driver20:37

buzthe improvement from 5 to 20mbit is benign20:40
buzat least until we get hdtv over ip20:40
nosrednaekimbenign is not the word ;) benign means "harmless"20:40
buzi know20:40
_StefanS_buz: then 20mbits wont be enough I guess20:41
* nosrednaekim hides20:41
buzyou can run 720p h.264 with 10mbit easily20:41
buzof course you really want a core2 to decode that :P20:41
_StefanS_buz: yep.. but you would need some real good QoS to prevent the TV going bonkers when downloading some stuff on the pc :)20:42
buzopenwrt does that pretty well20:42
_StefanS_buz: I have a core 2 at the tv, I tried osx today.. but I dont think 720p really was possible. It might be the videodriver though20:42
_StefanS_buz: tomato is what you want ;)20:42
buzi can even watch 1080p with my t730020:43
buzwithout maxing out the cpu20:43
buzand i'm not sure just how much works is being offloaded to the intel GMA x310020:43
_StefanS_buz: hmm I wonder if a 1.83 core 2 (2mb l2cache) and a 2.0 t7200 (4mb l2cache) makes any difference20:44
buzshould not do much difference20:44
buzmine was running at something like 1.2ghz during test20:44

_StefanS_ah the download is done20:44
