=== Riddell wonders what kooldock is
JReit's a soft to have dock icons in kde, like in mac os x10:09

JRe??10:13
JRehe must not stop the development ;)10:15
Riddellhave you got katapult to work?  I could never get it to launch a program10:16
JReyeah under debian it works pretty well10:18
JRepretty stable for a 0.210:18
RiddellI wonder what I'm doing wrong10:19
JRedon't worry i am going to make a kubuntu package10:19
JRewhat name must i give to the program directory ?10:20
JRekatapult-0.2ubuntu10:20
JRe???10:20

JReif i install the hoary deboot strap i will be able to have a virtual hoary structure under debian?10:24
JRewith chroot10:25
JRe?10:25
Riddellthat's the idea10:26
Riddellit works well10:26
JReokay10:27
JRebut ther version of the libs/programs will not stille match?10:28
Riddelldoesn't matter10:29
Riddellit'll match within the chroot10:29
JReokay 10:29
JRei understand10:29
JRei must give a try10:30

JRestable or testing?10:34
JRe(testing of course?)10:34
Riddellstable hoary just now, breezy is going to be  abumpy ride10:36
JRei think i will soon replace debian by kubuntu on my laptop it will be easier to made kubuntu packages ;)10:37
Riddellyay :)10:38
JReand i'll be able to test kde 3.4 ;) ;) ;)10:38
JRe(i could have done thaht on debian but i don't want to put the experimental packages)10:38
JRewhat is the kernel version in hoary?10:40
Riddell>uname -a10:40

hungerHey, there really is a kubuntu-devel;-)10:43
hungerJust guessed that there ought to be one.10:43
Riddellwelcome along :)10:43
Riddellit's kept top secret so only clever people work it out10:43
Riddellhunger: going to become a MOTU?10:44
hungerRiddell: You failed! Or I wouldn't be here.10:44
hungerRiddell: No plans so far...10:44
hungerRiddell: I got little time on my hands... currently a bit more than usually though.10:44
hungerBut I am willing to test whatever you can throw at me;-)10:45
hungerLots of stuff they want to get into breezy... I wonder how kubuntu will keep up.10:47
Riddellwould help if KDE had any kind of release plan...10:48
hungerRiddell: That is something for a business, not for a huge fun-project;-)10:49
Riddellwhat's the business?10:50
hungerRiddell: release plans, etc... that sounds very business like.10:50
RiddellKDE's always had release plans http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/10:51
hungerRiddell: The kde guys I met so far are more "lets all sit together and have some fun coding" kind of guys (even when dressed up in suits;-)10:51
Riddellbut now there is none, makes it hard to plan kubuntu when there's no KDE plan10:51
alleeRiddel: My 'worries' are not so much when does KDE and therefore Kununtu release ...10:54
alleeRiddell: In meeting lot's of gui stuff is mentioned and will be coded.   So how do 'we' integrate the 'new' brezy infrastructure into KDE?10:54
Riddellwe code like mad to make qt front ends for every gtk front end10:55
hungerallee: Neither are mine... I am wondering how all the cool stuff will be implemented.10:55
hungerallee: I10:55
Riddellbut I suspect kubuntu will always lag ubuntu in such respects allee 10:55
alleeI had a look into the bluetooth and networkmagic stuff   no matching KDE thingy yet that can be used 'as is'10:56
hungerIf they stick everything into the UI apps then there is little to salvage for kubuntu.10:56
Riddellallee: kbluetooth?10:56
hungerallee: Most of the networkmagic could be done below the gui...10:56
alleeYeah, kdebluetooth is good but lacking all the integration  (yet).   Makebe mutoman will/can help10:57
hungerallee: Then that would only need to configure things and read a couple of stats from somewhere...10:57
Riddellkdebluetooth works where gnome's stuff doesn't10:59
alleehunger: agreed, but you need a GUI that fits on the 'networkmagic' work.10:59
hungerallee: I can get by without;-)10:59
hungerallee: If I configure with a editor or something... I just hope thom will do the right thing.11:00
alleehunger: he, he.    I (can and do) without GUI.   But you and me is then not the 'average kunbuntu user'11:02
hungerallee: Well, I am egozentric: I do think of myself first.11:02
alleehunger: my users kill we, when I do it like you ;)11:03
hungerallee: So would mine if I'd tell them;-)11:04
alleeRiddell: will you amu, haggai and ??? monitor the breezy topic that will need UI stuff?11:05
Riddellallee: certainly will11:05
alleeor any suggestion, how best to monitor this stuff?  subscribing to ubuntu-devel is too much traffic :(11:06
alleeRiddell: will you update  KubuntuRoadmap  or something else so everyone interested in Kunbutu can check what's needed?11:06
Riddellallee: start a wiki page11:07
RiddellI think the specs (like KubuntuRoadmap) are frozen11:07
alleeAh frozen (saw UDU wiki today the first  time)11:07
hungerallee: They do hide their secrets well, these ubuntu people;-)11:08
Riddellit has been in the /topic of #kubuntu for the last week11:09
alleeRiddell: I (can) only look at #kunbutu if allee bluetooth or digikam are mentioned :(11:09
alleeallee: IRC easily eats all free time ;)11:10

hungerksysguard reports my system to run at its max. frequency. /sys claims it isen't. Who got it wrong?11:38
Riddellpresumably max frequency is the default11:39
hungerRiddell: ksysguard did report the proper values recently.11:40
hungerRiddell: (before powernowd broke).11:40
KaiLhunger: go back to 0.90 :)11:43
hungerKaiL: 0.90?11:43
KaiLold powernowd11:43
KaiLhere ksysguard shows 1GHz, /proc/cpuinfo too11:44
KaiLand powernowd is alive ;)11:44
hungerKaiL: powernowd works here as well again (after switching the kernel or turning of HT)11:45
KaiLbut not ksysguard shows the max clock?11:46
KaiLeh, now..11:46
hungerKaiL: Maybe ksysguard got stuck on max clock since it had to show that for the last couple of days due to the broken powernowd.11:46
KaiLlol11:47
hungerKaiL: I think I trust the kernel more than a kde tool;-)11:47
KaiLafaik the kde tool only reads the kernel info...11:48
hungerKaiL: And my fans tell me that the kernel is not lieing to me:-)11:48
hungerKaiL: Looks like it does not anymore.11:48
KaiLuhm, HT.. it's a P4 switching from 2.6 to 3.x GHz?11:49
hungerKaiL: Well, I updated a couple of min. ago. There were some KDE packages... maybe something broke.11:49
hungerKaiL: It is a p4 running at 400MHz...11:49
KaiLP4 mobile?11:49
hungerKaiL: Nope.11:50
hungerKaiL: Biggest mistake I ever made: Never get a non-mobile P4 laptop!11:50
KaiLyou can switch the P4 so far down? wow11:50
hungerKaiL: My coworkers actually call my laptop "the fold-up tower".11:51
KaiLLOL11:51
KaiLseams to be some "half-mobile-P4"11:51
hungerKaiL: It is close to 5kg... nuff said.11:51
KaiLthe real desktop-P4 can't go below 2.6Ghz afaik11:51
KaiLhmm, 17"? :)11:52
hungerKaiL: Well, it does here.11:52
hungerKaiL: Nope, only 15.4"11:52
KaiLnormally those are <3kg..11:52
hungerKaiL: And they forgot the batteries too... added a emergency power supply only...11:52
hungerKaiL: 45min without power and the box shuts down.11:53
KaiLlol11:53
=== Riddell sleeps
KaiLas my Gericom laptop with a Celeron 433 from 199811:53
hungerKaiL: ... and never get the idea of actually using the P4 either...11:53
hungerKaiL: The laptop will shut down then to protect the cpu from burning out.11:54
KaiLless expensive for the vendor..11:54
haggaiRiddell: sleep?? now?11:54
KaiLhaggai: it's late evening in europe11:54
haggaiKaiL: which means Riddell is just getting going :)11:55
hungerKaiL: Well, my boss told me the vendor I had to buy from... and this was the only box with a decent resolution.11:55
KaiLyou mean normally geeks now awake? ;)11:55
haggaiRiddell & I are in the same timezone but don't normally sleep at the same time11:55
KaiLhunger: which vendor makes such crap?11:55
KaiLand why does your boss like that so much?11:56
hungerKaiL: Bullman...11:56
hungerKaiL: Dunno.11:56
hungerKaiL: He does not like it so much anymore... now that he got one there for himself.11:56
KaiLlol11:56
hungerKaiL: HDD broke down 3 times in the first 4 month...11:57
KaiLwow11:57
hungerKaiL: But actually the laptop of the others are pretty decent... not good, but ok.11:57
KaiLmaybe he'll switch to another vendor than11:57
Riddellhaggai: my flatmate said that when most people go to australia they end up getting up in the middle of the night11:57
KaiLto something normal11:58
hungerKaiL: and they over a 3 year warranty which is what my boss liked.11:58
Riddellbut I've ended up getting up at "normal times"11:58
