Riddelldates for your diaries people http://dot.kde.org/1111445162/12:21
RiddellSaturday 27th of August to Sunday 4th of September12:21
Riddellalso akademy call for papers, just incase anyone has anything interesting to talk about12:22
haggaiRiddell: re your kde 3.4 work you said you would do earlier after the website - please update your status when you start stuff, not when you finish.  Amu said he ended up duplicating some of your work before he realised you had done something12:30
haggaiRiddell: also, lets try and assign a bug to ourselves when we start work on it12:30
Riddellhaggai: good plan12:30
haggaithanks12:31
amuhaggai: ..  in addtion apokryphos will help with bugtracking12:32
Riddellwoo, go apokaway 12:35
amuhaggai: you should tell Riddell about our telefon-meeting ... another thing was, checking the kde-braches commits, meanwhile there are a lot of, some of them will fix our bugs 12:36
Riddellanother good idea12:36
haggaiamu: hey tell him yourself :P12:36
amuhaggai: hahahaah :) you're the boss 12:36
haggaiamu: ok.  as boss I tell you to tell him muahahaaa12:37
haggaiRiddell: I suggested we document how to pull those changes in from the branch so we all do it the same way12:37
amuhaggai: i'll explain apokaway tomorrow about his new job12:38
amuKamion: looks like the kubuntu-dvd's need your love12:46
amusetup of kubuntu.de ; done12:47
Kamionamu: they needed me to, er, run "crontab ~/cdimage/etc/crontab", d'oh12:47
Kamionamu: running by hand now12:47
amuKamion: i'm also able to run it by hand?12:49
Kamionamu: no12:49
Kamionyou don't have an account on little ...12:50
amuKamion: what's about, define a amu-login which exec the crontab? 12:50
Kamionamu: you'll have to talk to elmo about that; but is it so hard to go through me or mdz? we cover most timezones between us12:54
haggaiarrgh it seems there are no rsyncable servers that have kubuntu images12:55
elmomirnyy's load's almost back under control12:55
elmoand if it's super urgent you can use auckland.w.h.c, but don't expect that to work for much longer12:56
haggai@ERROR: max connections (15) reached - try again later12:57
haggaitime to wget overnight I guess12:58
elmotry mirnyy again? it's load is 1/50th of what it was?12:58
amuKamion: if you are all time 24/7/365 up there's no problem, i just think to eastern, ex. sat. 14.00 or sunday afternoon :) 12:58
=== mkedwards [~mkedwards@adsl-64-175-14-61.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
haggaielmo: ah cool mirnyy's working thanks12:58
Kamionamu: it's rare that one of us isn't around with some fairly small lag - and at the moment I'm leery of too many more people kicking off CD builds, 'cos there's no locking yet and it can get a bit hairy01:01
Kamiondaniels also has access at the moment but that was kind of a temporary thing for an emergency01:01
elmoerr, which is over now right?01:02
mdzyes01:02
amuKamion: sound good01:02
elmoKamion: ITYM had ;)01:02
amu... i could ask him also ... 01:03
Kamionelmo: heh :)01:04
Kamionamu: long-term hopefully derivative distributions will be able to kick off their own CD builds via Launchpad; it's just all a somewhat-privileged operation at the moment01:05
mkedwardsKamion: privilege issues, or just risk of overloading server?01:07
amuKamion: cool, it was a thought, what will happen if there's noone there who could run an isobuild, but sounds good, if we have all time someone available01:10
Kamionmkedwards: bit of both, not so much overloading as hideous confusion when two people try to run a build for the same project at once01:12
amumdz: is there any chance pump the crypto part also into main? 01:13
mkedwardsKamion: I'd like to be able to build a CD with a slightly modified casper.  I'd be willing to do the poor-man's-remaster of the cloop, but the stuff outside cloop is still kind of mysterious.  It's the cloop that costs resources, yes?01:14
mdzamu: the crypto part of what?01:14
Kamionmkedwards: what kind of resources?01:14
amumdz: kdepim 01:14
mdzmkedwards: all you need to do is regenerate Packages and Release after swapping in new udebs01:14
mdzamu: meaning gnupg2?01:14
Kamionmkedwards: if you're just modifying casper, it's easiest to drop in a new .deb, hack Packages/Packages.gz, update Release, rm Release.gpg, hope you got it all right01:15
amumdz: yep01:15
mkedwardsKamion: server load01:15
mdzmkedwards: if you only want to modify casper, there's no need to change the cloop01:15
mdzamu: if pitti is willing to support it, yes01:15
mkedwardsmdz, Kamion: can I set up debarchiver or something like that to generate Packages and Release?01:16
mkedwardsmdz: cloop changes are to add some packages01:16
mkedwardsmdz: autobuilder / application demo LiveDVD01:16
Kamionmkedwards: er, as I said server load is pretty irrelevant to what I was talking about01:17
Kamionmkedwards: absolutely no idea, we do it with debian-cd01:17
Kamionmkedwards: I'm sure you could, I just can't help you :)01:18
mdzmkedwards: the simplest way to regenerate them is to use apt-ftparchive01:18
mdzI can send you the trivial script01:18
amumdz: i'll ask him 01:18
mkedwardsmdz: that would be a kindness.  :)01:18
mdzmkedwards: address?01:18
mkedwardsm.k.edwards@gmail.com01:19
ttfRiddell: the anti-aliasing issue - would you say it's a kubuntu-defaults or a kdebase bug?01:20
amuRiddell: haggai: did you saw Klik01:21
mdzmkedwards: sent.  so after removing the old udebs and replacing them with new ones, running the script should put the CD back into a consistent state01:21
mdzmkedwards: I think you might need to rm Release.gpg now; I haven't used it since Kamion added support for that01:22
amuttf: probably a X bug, X should detect which kind of display is used01:23
amumdz: did you saw http://klik.atekon.de/01:26
mdzamu: no01:26
amumdz: something like linspire's 1 click installation 01:29
Kamionone-click installation is bad crack01:29
mdzamu: yes, indeed01:29
mdzKamion: it's really not; it's on my list for UDU01:29
mdzKamion: click on magic file -> launch synaptic and install the (authenticated) package normally01:30
Kamionwell, I hope you intend to reopen things like all the keyboard-chooser bugs :P01:30
Kamionwhen we tried to not ask that question01:30
Kamionoh, you mean one-click .deb installation?01:30
mdzKamion: we are talking about two different things01:30
Kamionok, totally different :)01:30
Kamiongood :)01:30
amuKamion: ;) imho very usefull, ex. for my Dad/Mom 01:31
mvoamu: I added something to the wiki about the klik stuff01:31
mvowe can emulate it fairly easily with a script and current synaptic01:31
mvobut we need to assume a valid sources.list file and a up-to-date cache01:32
amumvo: overcool01:32
Kamionamu: yeah, I think it's a good idea now that I don't think you mean system installation01:33
amumvo: should be easy, compare timestamps before installing them01:33
mvohttp://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/PackageManagement01:33
amuKamion: nope ;) just deb's01:33
mvothere is a script for firefox there01:33
mvomdz: what goals/ideas do you have exactly for the "install-via-web"? 01:35
mdzttf: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8029  ?01:35
mdzmvo: to be able to use web-based package browsers to select software for installation01:36
mdzmvo: such as, say, soyuz ;-)01:36
mdzamu: who is packaging kde-i18n?01:38
mvomdz: web-based installs gives us all this nice formating and screenshots and background information data (links to FAQs, homepage, even translated descriptions by default *yummy*). it has great potential :) to what extend to we want to support it? download debs, checks there dependencies and download more of them from the same web-based source? cheat like we can do now with klik? something in between?01:39
mdzmvo: we can handle it gracefully if the package is not available wit hsources.list01:39
mdzmvo: I do not think we should download the .debs from the same place, but use the existing sources.list authenticated mechanism01:39
mdzmvo: (well, not for this feature)01:39
mdzwe have also discussed a metafile which makes it easy to add an entry to sources.list01:39
mdzbut that is a secondary feature; we should focus on access to the software in Ubuntu01:40
amumdz: it's on ttf's task01:40
ttfmdz: is reported on http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/KubuntuPreviewKnownProblems01:40
mvomdz: have you seen the script for firefox on the PackageManagment wiki-page? we could add before hoary :)01:41
mvo(not using klik but klack or something else for the url)01:41
mdzttf: there is not enough information in that bug report to do any diagnosis or repair01:41
ttfmdz: don't know exactly what is meant with it either - thought that somebody (Riddell, amu, etc) put it up there and they would know how to fix what exactly :)01:43
mdzttf: please don't file incomplete reports like that; it only creates more work for me01:45
ttfk - thought it would help people to see that the problem has already been reported01:47
mdzttf: it only helps if the bug report actually describes the problem; otherwise it is only noise01:48
ttfRiddell, amu, haggai: do you know more about the "X colour palette is broken on the live CD" issue on http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/KubuntuPreviewKnownProblems?01:56
ttfmdz: true01:57
amuttf: it's also broken on my brand-new ppc, it looks fine after restarting kdm, we speak about it a week ago 01:57
ttfah - remember something01:58
amuthere was a wrong value in the color settings ...01:59

Burgundavia<Burgundavia> asking about kdesu10:38
Burgundavia<Burgundavia> I am looking to change the deps for qtparted to this by default, instead of gksudo10:38
Burgundavia<Burgundavia> I fired up kdesu, and it asked for my root password, but accepted mine10:38
Burgundavia<Burgundavia> has it been hacked to be sudo?10:38

Burgundaviaok, just checking10:40
Burgundaviaso it is safe to change the dep to kdesu? (actually kdebase-bin)10:40
haggaiuuh, kdebase-bin has a gksudo deb?10:41

haggaiwell, they are 10:41
haggaithey are |ed together to you don't need to change anything10:42
Burgundaviaam going to cleanup to just kdebase-bin and change .desktop to kdesu from gksudo10:42
haggaiah yes, that would be better10:42
haggaihmm might be an idea to actually move qtparted to main too10:45
Burgundaviais gparted main?10:45
Burgundaviagparted is currently universe10:45
ttfsomebody has complained that bibletime has got it's K-menu entry in lost+found. the package is in universe. will we fix this and get the package into main for hoary or will it be done only for the next release?11:04

haggaiBeineri: file bug reports please, both of those problems should not be there12:14
=== Beineri wonders if it only happens to him :-)
haggaiBeineri: no, the first one is probably because the patch was taken from Debian (which is non UTF8 and therefore needs the OOo dialogs), and the icons, well I'm not sure12:15
ttfthere's 3 possibilities to reach "Trash" in an easy way: panel applet, desktop icon and click on "System" icon in the panel and then on Trash - I think this is too much - would remove 1-212:58
ttfpreferably the panel applet and then the one from the "system" icon (if this is done easy)12:59

mdzwhat are your plans for all of these kubuntu bugs you are filing?  most of them are not assigned to anyone08:06
haggaimdz: to fix them? :)  I filed them to make sure they don't get forgotten08:17
mdzhaggai: in my experience, bugs which are filed and not assigned are lost in the swamp08:17

Kamionhaggai: lvm10 or lvm2?08:37
Kamionhaggai: never mind, presumably lvm208:41
elmohey, can we not have two versions of lvm in breezy?08:43
Kamionhaggai: actually it would be interesting to know if that was once an lvm10 volume?08:44
Riddellhaggai: website is my target for tonight08:45
Riddellamu: which bugfixes?08:45
Kamionlvm2 says that by default it uses the second sector, and it scans the first four looking for the label08:46
mdzelmo: hmm, good point08:49
mdzelmo: we shouldn't even have had lvm10 in Warty, after we decided to drop 2.408:49
mdzKamion: fancy a debootstrap change?08:50
elmohey, can we not have two versions of lvm in hoary?08:50
elmo;-)08:50
mdzI don't think it costs us much to wait for breezy, but i'm not unopposably against doing it for hoary08:50
Kamioncan lvm2 deal with existing lvm10 volumes? I thought the reason they were able to coexist on the system was that it couldn't08:51
Kamionand the reason for that cunning lvmiopversion thing08:52
mdzKamion: both lvm2 and evms can deal with existing lvm10 volumes08:52
mdzafaik08:52
mdzthe lvmiopversion thing is due to the differing kernel APIs08:52
amuRiddell: the KDE_3_4_BRANCH commits into kde-cvs08:59
Riddellamu: do a cvs diff from 3_4_RELEASE to BRANCH and add the patch to debian/patches09:01
haggaiKamion: it was once an lvm10 volume09:08
haggaiRiddell: my point for the diffing is to document the commands so we all do it the same way, reproducibly09:09
Riddellhaggai: we should have a script in our baz archive for doing it09:09
haggaiRiddell: yes I think that would be a good idea09:09
RiddellI should work out how to set up the baz archive first09:10

haggaiyup, was looking there thanks11:15
Kamionthat is a mirror, but the master is only accessible by sftp to chinstrap11:15
haggaiah so it was a mirror :)11:16
haggaihow difficult would it be to move it to our kubuntu dev machine?11:16
haggaiI don't mind either way - I can ask amu to pull my changes if that's what folks prefer11:17
KamionI guess it's possible; I do think those Ubuntu people who've committed to it so far should be able to continue committing to it11:18
Kamionmerging branches ought to be possible too11:19
haggaioh I thought that was only amu, haven't been reading the logs11:19
Kamionno, at least mdz and I have done that too11:19

Kamionultimately seeds will live in launchpad, but I wouldn't hold your breath just yet11:25
amuelmo: a small sized one *g* 11:26
elmowell, hopefully less soon than ultimately, there'll be a open to all ubunties people style machine where you can run the baz11:26
elmountil then, I'm happy to create accounts for kamion and whichever other folk might need them on novo11:26
