alleeRiddell: ping?  knemo and network notifications (knemo)02:14
Riddellallee: hmm?02:14
alleeI wonder if there are any plans about (network) notifications already02:15
allee?02:15
alleein udu is a page about a general eventnotifier, but kde(pim) has already networkstatus and finally there's knemo ...02:16
Riddellknemo is too hard to set up02:17
alleeany plans about the route kubuntu will go for breezy02:17
Riddellwhat is networkstatus?02:17
alleeeasier setup is on of the TODO things for knemo02:17
Riddellivman can monitor HAL for changes in network and pop up friendly messages02:17
alleekded module.   see KDE services02:18
alleeAFAIR on ivman homepage author is not sure if ivman or dbus/hal is the way to the future02:18
Riddellwhy wouldn't it be?02:19
alleeBtw.  networkstatus does (passiv) popups already02:19
allee"<Riddell> why wouldn't it be?".   Maybe I recall wrong.02:20
alleenevertheless knemo does much more than just show an icon on net connections ...02:20
Riddellmy kded has Network Status Daemon running but I've never seen any popups02:21
Riddellwhat else does knemo do?02:21
alleethat's the reason why I think about replacing knemo polling with 'a app' informs knemo about network changes.  Knemo stays passive until more info or monitoring is required02:21
alleeRiddell: tooltip with network infos.  Monitor traffic.  custom action for interfaces (e.g. ifup/down)02:22
alleeRiddell: knemo does almost everything the littel network icons in windows systray can do02:23
RiddellI would like knemo in there but it needs to set itself up02:23
alleeas I said it's on my TODO ;)02:23
alleeIf knemo gets if existance/up/down info form an external tool.  Setup can be made almost automatic ...02:24
Riddellhal :)02:25
alleeexcept the decision: to show an icon for an iface or not.  this has to be decided and written to an config file02:25
Riddellwhy?  if it's up show it, else don't02:25
Riddelland don't show loopback02:25
alleehal is 'low' level.   Maybe a 'dispatcher' like ivman or merge knemo and networkstatus.  I'm not sure yet 02:27
alleewindow does _not_ show icon per default02:27
alleeas I said one has to decide ;)02:27
alleeI'll have another more deeper look at ivman ...02:29
alleebtw. is kay designed to be feed by ivman   (I've to talk with JRe about it.  Some design decision I don't understand)02:29
Riddellit's not designed for ivman no, but if we use it it'll be with ivman02:31
alleewill ubuntu  go with ivman too?02:32
Riddellno, they'll still with gnome-volume-manager02:32
alleewait I'll search the udu page ...02:32
alleeit's late, can't find it :(02:45
alleethx for the infos Riddell.   I'll check ivman doc and code to see what needs adaption in knemo02:45
alleemhmm, no pkg for ivman yet?03:01
RiddellI havn't uploaded it yet, will probably do so tomorrow03:03

alleeJRe: ping?11:39
JReallee: pong!11:40
alleeJRe: hi11:40
JReallee: elo!11:40
alleeJRe: I looked at kay and I wonder why you choose the action as single xml file.  My ..11:40
alleeconcern is how to other pkg register11:40
alleeJRe: e.g. digikam gets installed.  Is there an easy way to regist to e.g., DATACD11:41
JReallee: maybe it would be better to make several actions file ?11:41
JReallee: in several directories ?11:42
alleeJRe: my first idea was a apps/kay/action.d/<app>.xml11:42
JReallee: yeah! good idea!11:43
JReallee: and in the <app>.xml the displayed categories are configurable11:44
alleeJRe: can there be even new categories?  e.g. AUDIOINPUT?11:45
JResure!11:45
alleeJRe: great!11:45
=== amu [~amu@amu.developer.debian] has joined #kubuntu-devel
alleebrb11:47
JReokay C U!11:47
alleeJRe: for kay TODO:  check in executeable exists. either do not display the action or pop up error msg11:52
JReallee: yeah! good idea ;)11:53
alleeJRe: if you go with action.d/  it may be nice to watch for changes so if an app registers an action it's immediately available11:54
JReallee: yeah sure11:54
alleeJRe: how do you 'restart' kay during development.  Kill/start kded?11:54
JReallee: restarting kded yes 11:55
JReallee: you really told be a bunch of great feature to add ;) i will add all of that in the TODO for the 0.4 version11:56
alleeKDEDmodules lack infrastucture (load/unload/help/config ;)11:57
Riddellactually you can load and unload them from kcontrol11:58
Riddell"KDE Components"11:58
Riddellor systemsettings11:58
alleemhmm, a method to add a new action with the popup would be nice too.  If favorite app is not there add it is one click away11:58
alleeRiddell: stop/start I know  but unload/load mhmm only tried in 3.3 days. checking ...11:59
Riddellah you mean if new services are added12:00
JReallee: you mean adding an action directly from the action dialog ?12:00
alleeRiddell: no.  I mean during development testing one needs to (re)load the kdedmodule12:01
JReRiddell: you con stop and start but it's the same version loaded12:02
alleesome apps didn't like if one kills kded under their feet (at least in 3.3 days)12:02
alleebut missing load/unload is no big deal.  That in 'service manager' is now way to access help or configure the service is MUCH more bad from usage point of view12:03
alleeJRe: yes.  E.g. yesterday I added my usbstick triggered started kay and digikam was not there.  Would be nice to be able to add the (favorite) app now. 12:06
JReallee: once again, you're right ;)12:06
alleeFirst time usage experience is usualy the best input  (after some usage one tends to focus on special personal wishes ;)12:08
\shRiddell: what about your cxx bugs in malone?12:10
JReallee: right! i'll try to put all these features in kay 0.4.0: application hook, standard apps checker, quick add12:11
Riddell\sh: what about them?12:13
alleeJRe: 0.3.2 is already a huge step in the right direction!  Congrats12:13
JReallee: thanks ;)12:13
alleeJRe: btw you may add it to kde-apps (mentioning developed for kubuntu but usable also on other general dists ;)12:16
\shRiddell: is it for later? i'm trying to clean malone a bit...but malone doesn't like me..it's not unusable12:18
Riddell\sh: it's for debian's sake12:19
\shRiddell: aha :)12:19
Riddell\sh: if you can work out how to say that it's fixed in ubuntu and not debian that would be nifty12:20
\shRiddell: well...file a bug in debian, say "fixed" in malone...;)12:21
\shi can't even change the status and go back to the bug commenting page12:21
\shit's not usable...as i said *grmpf*12:22

JReallee: yes you're right! i wait for sourceforge to accept my project and as soon as it's done i'll put a link to kde-apps12:24
alleeJRe: My favorite is KDE svn extragear or playground for some time.  Better translation, better peer review ;)12:28
JReallee: yeah i should move to that place, but only if people from kde found my little app interesting. Moreover i have also to send some patches in order that they trust me12:30
alleeJRe: really?  It will be used in kubuntu, won't it? I guess asking on kde-extragear / helio should be enough12:32
alleelunch12:32
RiddellJRe: do you have an SVN account?12:33
JReRiddell: nop12:33
Riddellthat would be the problem then12:33
JRe???12:36
Riddellhard to put it in KDE's SVN without an account12:37
JReRiddell:yeah i have to contribute to KDE a lot in order to have an account ;) ;) ;)12:37

amuthat's a early version of the liveCD installer in python with qt bindings 01:41
Riddellamu: looks pretty inactive01:43
alleeJRe: No, not a lot.  Btw. you have already KDE code to contribute (btw, much more than I did).   Just ask yourself are you commited to work on kay.  Then ping heliocasto on #kde-devel01:43
amuRiddell: it works for the old style liveCD's .. it was an initial checkin by carsten, phil has meanwhile newer versions  01:44
amuasked phil for a newer version, after i get it, i'll update it.01:46
Riddellwho is phil?01:47

\shonly gnome.desktop inside02:01
\shah02:02
\shksmserver was not installed during kubuntu-desktop install02:02

Riddelldoes it need kpersonalizer?02:03
\shksmserver suggest kpersonalizer..but kde.desktop for the xsession is in ksmserver02:04
\shok...changing clients...moment02:04
\shback02:05
\shok...but in the end...adjusting fontpath, and installing ksmserver, and breezy looks fine even with kde02:06
Riddell\sh: which widget theme does it use?02:06
Riddellkwin depends on ksmserver02:07
\shplastik (for me)02:07
\shbut this was default for kubuntu kde-3.4.1 packages02:07
Riddellnope, it suggests it02:07
\shput it as dependency in kubuntu-desktop-meta02:08
Riddellhmm, lipstik has stopped working altogether02:12
