Riddell\sh: hmm no, remind me about it post-preview11:46
\shRiddell: i just installed the debug libs...lets see where it crashes11:47
Riddell\sh: could try compiling with gcc 3.411:47
\shit worked for sometime11:48
\shgrmpf..need the qt dbgs as well ;)11:50
\shRiddell: I can send the crash report via email...11:52
Riddell\sh: do you have amd64 or powerpc at all?12:07
\shi386 only12:07
Riddelltesters wanted for preview http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily/20050908.1/12:46
\shdownloading and testing later...I have to test it on the laptop :(12:48
\shand have to tweak the initrd :(12:48
Riddellwhy do you have to tweak initrd?12:49
\shi have to do a network install12:49
\shand for this, I need a special marvel yukon driver, which is not in the kernel12:49
\shsk98lin driver, the kernel provided skge doesn't support my NIC12:50

Riddellsebas: got guidance working!03:44
sebasRiddell: Great!04:06
sebasDo you have the kcontrol entries?04:06
sebasI've been playing around with it yesterday, displayconfig seems to work (from kcontrol), the others not yet here.04:06
sebasUpdated to breezy yesterday, though.04:07
Riddellsebas: displayconfig doesn't work at all for me, I get this error04:11
Riddellhttp://kubuntu.pastebin.com/35798504:11
Riddellthe others I have to add this to the .desktop file Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-settings-system;04:11
sebasRiddell: Ah, you'd need the ldetect stuff. 04:12
sebasCould you e-mail me the .desktop files?04:12
Riddellsebas: what's the ldetect stuff?04:12
Riddellsebas: .desktop files are just those in current SVN with that line at the bottom04:12
sebaspci device database.04:12
Riddellicons need to be available in more sizes04:14
sebasHm, just adding the Categories line doesn't help here.04:14
sebas/usr/share/applnk/Settings/System/mountconfig.desktop04:14
sebasIn that file, right?04:14
Riddellsebas: no, in /usr/share/applications/kde/mountconfig.desktop04:15
Riddellsame file though04:15
sebasAh, thx.04:15
Riddellsebas: could I get access to the SVN repository (probably for updating the debian directory)?04:17
sebasRiddell: I'm about to move it to kdesvn, do you have access there?04:17
sebasIn the meantime, could you checkout and e-mail me the patch?04:18
Riddellsebas: I do.  sorted.04:18
sebasI'll import it into kdesvn in the next days, though.04:18
sebasHave to clean up a couple of bits first :>04:18
Riddellno patch yet, but now that it's working I'll try and get it in the ubuntu archives04:18
sebasCool :)04:18
sebasHm, the mountconfig kcontrol module doesn't load, does it for you?04:20
sebasuserconfig and serviceconfig do04:20
Riddelllo04:20
Riddellloads fine, it's a bit slow to load though04:20
sebasHm, ok.04:21
sebasWhen did you update to latest svn?04:21
=== \sh_away is now known as \sh
sebasI've done some fixes in Spain that might be worth using04:21
Riddellsebas: serviceconfig and userconfig don't close when I click the window's X close button, mountconfig does (not running inside kcontrol)04:22
sebascaching of servicedescriptions for serviceconfig being one of them04:22
sebasOk, I'll have a look.04:22
Riddellsebas: where are the service descriptions got from?04:23
sebasdpkg04:23
Riddellgenius :)04:23
sebasIt's a bit ugly, admittedly, but there are no (localized) generic descriptions available anywhere...04:24
Riddellstill no way to tell if it's running I guess04:24
sebasRight. :(04:24
sebasAt least for the services that don't leave a .pid file anywhere.04:24
RiddellI envision a post breezy ImproveInitScripts goal04:25
sebasBounty!!!04:26
sebas:>04:26
Riddellyep :)04:26
sebasWe'd like status and  a localiz(ed|able) description for every service.04:26
sebasGST has the same description problem, but they didn't reply to my e-mails.04:27
Riddellsebas: any other plans you think we should try to make post-breezy goals? (which means they might get bountied)04:28
=== sebas thinks.
Riddellany other guidance modules you think should be written?04:29
RiddellI think a graphical visudo would be good04:29
sebasYeah, we'd need some powermanagement module (PM in kcontrol is bad crap atm), and a *good* keyboard config module.04:29
sebasGraphical visudo is more or less adding users to a certain group, right?04:30
sebasAt least, you could do it that way ... 04:30
Riddellyes, it would be nice if userconfig had tickboxes for "administrator" which would put them in the admin group (which by default has full sudo on kubuntu systems)04:31
Riddellbut a graphical interface to the sudoers file would still be nice04:31
sebasRiddell: I've discussed that with Jan, a lot of the group stuff could be replaced by "[ ]  Is allowed to burn CD", "[x]  May gain root privileges", "[x]  May use digital camera" and so on.04:32
Riddellsebas: yes!04:32
Riddellof course that starts to get more distribution specific but it would be a lot more logical to the user04:33
sebasWell, that's more or less on our "add to todolist list" :)04:33
sebasI'm awaiting Jan's final report, though.04:33
sebasYeah, but it'd add a hell of a lot of fun :>04:33
sebasAnd it's quite easy to extend, just have some data structure which maps a sentence like that to a group a user can be added to.04:34
=== sebas pours coffee.
Riddellsebas: how is the distribution detection done?  the message "This could be a Debian GNU/Linux-based system. ( Ubuntu )" doesn't sound like it's very convinced 04:35
sebas/etc/issue reveals that on most distros.04:36
Riddell /etc/lsb-release might be more reliable04:38
sebasI can add that.04:40
sebasRiddell: Seems that most distros don't have /etc/lsb-release04:49
\shsebas: because most distris are not lsb compliant ,)04:50
Riddellsebas: tsk, don't these things know about standards04:50
sebas\sh: Yeah, I figured that already :>04:50
Riddellwell give it a year or two and I assume they will04:50
sebasI can add a check, sure.04:51
sebasFirst I have to prepare my presentation for software freedom day and install this website for a customer.04:51

seaLneno, it just dosen't do anything apart from make the deafening noise otherwise it appears dead08:46
Riddellcrivvens, sounds like a fried firmware08:46
Riddellcan you boot holding down control-apple-o-f  to get to openfirmware?08:47
seaLnedidn't try that, i'll try tommorow when i'm back in work08:48
