Riddellthat remote desktop thing is quite nifty12:02
Riddellabbas: no idea what the problem is I'm afraid though12:02
uniqcheck dma for the cdrom.12:02
abbasthank you  riddell12:03
Riddelluniq: how does he do that?12:03
uniqhdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom12:03
Riddellabbas: try the command uniq gave12:04
abbasdev/cdrom:12:04
abbas setting using_dma to 1 (on)12:04
abbas using_dma    =  1 (on)12:04
uniqif dma was the problem everything should go smooth now.12:05
uniqriddell: as for the MOTUNewPackages -  kbandwidth is fixed. if you haven't found any new problems? I don't havce the time to look at knights right now. i'm working on ipodslave.. i'll make a -dev package with .la and .h files.12:08
Riddelluniq: but what would the -dev be needed for?12:11
uniqdo you think i should just drop the .h files? 12:12
uniqit's the headers for the libraries accessing the ipod.. and the itunesdb. as of now i doubt anything else is using them.12:14
Riddellright, libkpod.so and libitunesdb12:15
uniqi could separate them too.12:15
Riddelluniq: if other things are likely to compile against them I guess they should be in separate packages too12:16
uniqyes.12:16
Riddellgosh, how complex12:16
abbasuniq can you see my problem12:18
abbas:)12:18
uniqabbas: enabling dma didn't help? - what does 'dmesg|tail -n10' say? - could you paste that on http://kubuntu.pastebin.com ? 12:20
abbas send12:23
uniqI/O error.12:24
uniqcould the CD be broken?12:24
abbasno12:25
abbasbut on the ubuntu it is mount 12:28
abbaswhy?12:28
abbaswhy isn't mount on the kubuntu12:29

JRe\sh: i take a look12:30
\shJRe, I think it's default...check cdbs12:30
JRe\sh: no it don't seems to be the default12:36
JRe\sh: may be in the kde class i take a look12:36
elmoRiddell: ?12:39
JRe\sh: may be it's because i patch admin/acinclude.m4.in ?12:40
Riddellelmo?12:40
\shah12:40
elmoRiddell: why split out the kubuntu shortcuts to a separate package?12:41
\shJRe, then u should b-d autotools-dev and automake1.712:42
JRe\sh: yes sure, thanks!12:42
Riddellelmo: seems a neater way to me, since they arn't part of upstream.  what's the disadvantage?12:43
elmoevery package that exists has a cost, which although it's small for one package, adds up signficantly when you times it by 16k12:48
elmoand the cost is inflicted on all users, not just users of the package12:48
elmoso there needs to be a good reason to create separate packages12:48
elmoand if the package does what it says on the tin, I imagine you'd want it installed by default for kubuntu?12:49
Riddellyes12:49
elmoand if you would, that leads us back to: why separate it?12:49
elmoit doesn't seem any different, than e.g. the changed default homepage in firefox12:49
\shelmo, cause we can put more toys inside, and u don't have to bug the buildds with compiling hardcore kdelibs and kdebase stuff all around when I change something only in some textfiles and config stuff12:50

hungerWere some styles lost with the recent qt upgrade?01:31
Riddellhunger: quite possible, got any in mind?01:35
Riddellelmo: keeping it separate is simpler from our point of view but I'm happy to cede to whichever way you choose01:37
\shRiddell, do you know if someone is working on kolab?01:48
Riddell\sh: not that I know of01:48
Riddell\sh: kolab 1 was pretty well impossible to package in a Debian Policy consistent way01:49
Riddellsuspect kolab 2 is the same01:49
\shRiddell, because of the deps to apache,cyrus??01:50
Riddell\sh: because it installed everything in /kolab and came with its own apache and cyrus01:51
Riddellif it's possible to make it use the debian apache and cyrus that would be good01:52
\shRiddell, problem is "cyrus in debian is quite old" e.g. On my root server I'm running the cyrus imapd from experimental01:52
\shcause of the format of libdb4.x and configs, which I recovered from gentoo install01:53
\shapache isn't the problem at all I think...will have a look01:53
hungerRiddell: The MacOSX-ish one.01:53
Riddellhunger: kwin-baghira works for me02:01
hungerRiddell: I'm talking about the qt-widget styles.02:02
\shmotaboy, u there?02:03
Riddellhunger: widget style works too02:03
hungerRiddell: Works for me as well... it is just that the style I used to use is suddenly missing.02:04
Riddellhunger: how can it be missing if it works?02:05
hungerRiddell: If falls back to using something else.02:05
hungerRiddell: And I can switch to others... just not to the one I had.02:05
hungerNone of the ones offered does a good highlighting of the active tab:-(02:06

motaboyuh. I have to force it in the prefix. I personally don't like it, but I can be wrong. :D04:58
Riddellmotaboy: what's wrong with that?04:58
motaboyRiddell: I think that prefix should be the right dir where's it's installed. I can rember that it's also used by libtool to set the rpath. But with scons libtool isn't used so maybe it's not a problem or I'm totally wrong :D.05:03

motaboyDoes someone tried Network manager?05:57
motaboyI'd like to create an applet for kde, but first I have to know 2 things:05:58
motaboy1) is already there someone working on it?05:58
motaboy2) are the dbus QT3 bindings working (I think they are used for skype kopete plugin).05:58
\shfirst somebody has to explain to me, what network manager is doing anyways06:01
Riddellmotaboy: what is it?06:01
motaboyRiddell: is a deamon, (started by redhat), that will manage the network interfaces in an easy way.06:02
motaboyRiddell: it's already packages for breezy06:02
motaboyRiddell: and has a gnome applet. But the daemon is DE independent06:02
motaboyRiddell: If ubuntu move to it for net management I think that kde should have a similar applet06:03
motaboyRiddell: resuming:06:03
motaboyRiddell: network : NetworkManager06:03
motaboyRiddell: media devices: Ivman (with a possible GUI for managing it)06:03
\shmotaboy, hmm..do u want to write it in python?06:04
motaboyRiddell: ACPI and power tools: maybe GnomePowerManager 06:04
motaboy\sh: no! :D06:04
motaboy\sh: only C++!06:04
motaboypeople.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/06:05
motaboyhttp://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/06:05
\shmotaboy, i think i have it installed06:05
\shbut only managing my resolv.conf i don't see any advanteges06:06
motaboy\sh: I tried it. but by now it have to integrate better with the system06:06
\shadvantages06:06
motaboy\sh: the final idea, should be to use it instead of /etc/init.d/ifupdown 06:06
motaboy\sh: it has various backend that work with the distro's network tools like debian's ifup/down etc...06:06
motaboy\sh: I really think it's a great idea06:07
Riddellmotaboy: I don't know of anyone working on it for KDE, but obviously you need to read their mailing lists etc to find out06:07
motaboyRiddell: just read, found nothing06:08
Riddellmotaboy: there are dbus bindings for qt3, see kdebase/kioslave/media/kdedmodule/hal*06:08
\shhmm...i don't see the NetworkManager-gnome frontend 06:09
motaboyRiddell: I know (I started the kde volume manager project but developed less code )06:09
motaboyRiddell: but they aren't the dbus bindings06:09
motaboyRiddell: they uses only the QT mainloop integration and all is managed by libhalsotrage06:09
motaboy\sh: it's inside networkmanager06:10
motaboy\sh: nm-applet06:10
\shah06:10
Riddellmotaboy: well there's definatly dbus-qt bindings, but chances are you know more about them than me06:12
motaboyRiddell: I never used them to send messages. I'm asking on #kde-devel06:13
motaboyRiddell: BTW I found another project to start. :D06:13
Riddellmotaboy: what's the other one?06:16
motaboyRiddell: kdebluetooth06:16
Riddelland how's the kdebluetooth 1.0 packages coming along?06:16
motaboyRiddell: I think that I have just to package it and it's ready. Firstly I have to ask to Fred ( the other dev)06:17
motaboyRiddell: and of course fix all the packaging problems06:18
Riddellmotaboy: what are the packaging problems?06:18
motaboyRiddell: the ones that you wrote on MotuNewPackages06:19
