{slacky}hello Riddell 12:17
Riddell{slacky}: !12:17
{slacky}Riddell: the problem, at least with 5.10 live CD is that I can't set the gateway12:18
Riddell{slacky}: hmm, that's not good12:18
{slacky}when I give "route -n" from konsole I see Kubuntu doesn't set the gatway I specifyed12:18
{slacky}so I have to use "sudo route add default gw IP"12:19
Riddell{slacky}: the quick way to get round it is to set it in /etc/network/interfaces and ifup ifdown12:19
Riddellbut obviously that won't help all our users12:20
{slacky}expecially if you release a new distro 2 days ago :(12:20
{slacky}Riddell: can you check this bug and report it?12:24
Riddell{slacky}: I've added it to my todo list (which means I won't get round to it until after 3.5beta2)12:25
{slacky}Riddell: well ok... you have 6 months to fix it if 2 release per year12:26
{slacky}Riddell: you didn't inserted KSniffer into Kubuntu because is too young and has very few features? :)12:26
{slacky}Riddell: you didn't insert KSniffer into Kubuntu because is too young and has very few features? :)12:27
Riddell{slacky}: ksniffer is in the repositories but we only have space for very few applications on the CD12:27
Riddelland if you need a sniffer then you have internet access anyway12:27
{slacky}Riddell: breezy is final realease 5.10?12:28
Riddellyep12:28
{slacky}Riddell: well into the DVD too?12:28
=== hunger [n=hunger@p54A612B0.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel
RiddellDVD is final too if that's what you mean12:28
Riddellwe would have to get ksniffer into main to get it onto the DVD, which is quite possible12:29
{slacky}no I intend I used cd live and I've got to look for a repository where there was ksniffer12:29
Tm_T{slacky}: !12:29
{slacky}DVD has more space :), but they are just questions... I know ksniffer is very very young and not so usable12:30
{slacky}Tm_T: hello12:30
{slacky}Riddell: I tryed to look for ksniffer into the standard repository and it was not there, but I hope to fix more bug possible, add some feature to release 0.2 :)12:31
Riddell{slacky}: it's in the universe repository12:32
{slacky}Riddell: ah ok12:32
Tm_T{slacky}: what's up12:32
{slacky}Riddell: have you received my reply email to your email?12:33
Riddell{slacky}: yes 12:35
RiddellI also have 1877 unanswered e-mails just now though, anything I should answer in it?12:35
{slacky}Riddell: :)12:36
{slacky}Riddell: you wrote: You should use XDG menus so it appears in Gnome's menu... just this I need to know... because I use direclty calling kdesu into .desktop file12:39
Riddelloh aye12:40
Riddellwhere is ksniffer in SVN?12:41
Riddelltrunk/playground/network/ksniffer/12:41
{slacky}yes Riddell 12:41
Riddell{slacky}: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/39485812:45
Riddellthat's the diff12:45
Riddellwhich I can commit if you wish12:46
{slacky}Riddell: but you removed kdesu12:47
{slacky}if you remove this12:48
Riddelland added X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true12:48
{slacky}ah12:48
Riddellnot sure the details but that's how all KDE does it12:48
{slacky}mmm12:48
{slacky}Riddell: if this call "kdesu ksniffer" when I click in the Internet/ksniffer menu ok you can commit it12:49
{slacky}but I'll try it and commit12:49
{slacky}thanks12:49
Riddellit does, honest :)12:50
{slacky}ok12:50
{slacky}commit it12:50
Riddellwoo, my first ksniffer commit12:52
{slacky}:)12:52
{slacky}Riddell: -kdelnkdir   = $(kde_appsdir)/Internet12:54
{slacky}Riddell: this will remove KSniffer from Internet menu?12:54
RiddellCategories=Qt;KDE;Network;  adds it back again in the XDG/freedesktop standard way12:56
Riddellso it'll appear in gnome and xfce etc12:56
{slacky}Riddell: and the KDE menu?12:57
Riddellof course :)12:58
=== haggai [n=halls@i-83-67-59-194.freedom2surf.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
{slacky}Riddell: I removed KSniffer from the KDE menu, updated my repository, installed changes and it doesn't appear in KDE menu anymore12:59
{slacky}Riddell: what's wrong?12:59
Riddell{slacky}: how did you remove it?12:59
Riddellwhere is ksniffer.desktop installed?01:00
{slacky}with the Settings/Menu Editor01:00
Riddellwell if you removed it then it won't come back01:01
Riddellrm -r ~/.config ~/.local01:01
{slacky}but I made "make install"01:01
{slacky}ah I understand01:01
{slacky}you put it into the gnome menu that KDE look for it into the Gnome menu01:02
{slacky}sigh01:02
{slacky}I don't like this01:02
Riddellno, it's not in the gnome menu, it's in the freedesktop XDG menu rather than the legacy KDE menu01:03
Riddellall modern KDE apps do the same01:03
Riddellls /usr/share/applications/kde to see them all01:03
{slacky}mmm ok01:04
{slacky}I've seen it01:04
{slacky}good night Riddell 01:12

Tm_TI would like to try do some :)01:57
RiddellTm_T: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KDE35Packages01:59
Tm_TRiddell: doing it atm01:59

Riddellgive kdeadmin a shot02:00
Tm_T:)02:00
Tm_Thmh, this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot is taking longer than I expected02:09
Tm_Thmm, maybe I will install kubuntu to my secondary workstation and start use it as packagefactory :p02:11
RiddellTm_T: it's a long download02:12
Tm_TRiddell: looks like it02:12
Tm_Tdoesn't matter, can't sleep anyway02:12
RiddellTm_T: yesterday it just sat there and hung doing nothing forever, killing it and restarting it got it going but there's always some pause at the start02:12
Tm_T:)02:12
RiddellTm_T: is it downloading lots of stuff or just sitting there?02:12
Tm_Tdownloading02:12
Tm_Tah, done02:13
Tm_Tnext step ->02:13
Tm_TI: Base system installed successfully.02:13
Tm_Tgood to know :p02:13
Riddellcool02:14
RiddellI don't bother with the dchroot stuff02:14
Tm_T:)02:14
RiddellI just do plain chroot and work as root02:14
Tm_Thmm02:15
Tm_Tog no02:15
Tm_Toh02:15
Riddell?02:15
Tm_Thmm, nothing actually, got gpg errors.. ofcourse, I'm jsut installing gnugpg :p02:16
Tm_T-g02:16
Tm_Tok, I really need some food ->02:17
RiddellI ignore those02:17
Riddellbut installing gpg is the other way02:17
Tm_T:)02:18
Tm_Tfood ->02:18
Riddellverwilst: I got kdenetwork done using your packages thanks02:23
Tm_Thmh02:33
Tm_Tthere's something strange in DebootstrapChroot guide02:33
RiddellTm_T: what's that?02:34
Tm_TNext, we have to install sudo package to be able to use it being in chroot:02:34
RiddellTm_T: that's only if you use dchroot02:34
Riddellwhich I don't02:34
Tm_Tok02:34
Riddellfeel free to note that on the wiki02:34
RiddellI wrote that page and someone did a not very great job of changing it to dchroot02:35
Tm_Tbut, strange thing is: sudo apt-get install sudo02:35
Riddellyeah :)02:35
Tm_Terr, what's that?!02:35
Tm_TRiddell: ok, so what's your way?02:35
Riddellyeah baby, kdepim is mine02:36
Tm_T:)02:36
Tm_Tkeep it, I don't wan't it anyway02:36
Tm_T;)02:36
Tm_TRiddell: is there "your version" of that guide somewhere?02:36
RiddellTm_T: don't use dchroot, just sudo chroot /var/foo02:36
Tm_Tok02:36
Riddellrevert the changes whoever made to it :)02:36
Tm_Thm?02:38
Tm_TRiddell: ok, I think I'd do better if I try to get my head straight and do it again with better luck :p02:39
Tm_TI'm tired, in drugs an in pains02:39
Tm_Tnot that good combination imho02:39
Riddellthe difference is just that dchroot dose cleverness to make you chroot as the same user, normal chroot doesn't02:39
RiddellI've never seen any need for dchroot02:40
Tm_T:)02:41
Tm_TRiddell: so what you're saying, "your way" is otherwise similar but you don't do those password etc hassles ?02:44
Riddellexactly02:44
Tm_Tok02:45
Tm_Tmake things easier =)02:45
Tm_TI'm root anyway02:45
Tm_TI think there's something really wrong in that guide02:46
Riddellplease do fix it :)02:47
Tm_Twell, I don't know what is the right way02:47
Tm_TI just have feeling that there's errors02:47
Tm_Tlike that fstab thing, should I modify my normal fstab or the one "in" chroot02:48
Tm_TI don't think that first option is correct02:48
Tm_Tbut that's what is that guide saying02:48
Riddell?02:49
Riddelldon't touch fstab02:49
Tm_TI won't02:49
Riddelloh I see02:49
Riddellwell if you want to access your /home from within the chroot you can but again it's not worth the hassle02:50
Tm_Tyup02:50
Tm_Tso no fstab thing or mounting...02:50
Riddellno02:50
Tm_Tnext step then02:51
Tm_Tok, now I give up, my irssi have nice waves...02:52
Tm_Tstaring the ceiling ->02:52

pefRiddell: Do you think I should switch from debhelper to cdbs for qtparted ?01:41
Riddellpef: no, keep as close as possible to debian so it's easier for them to adopt back01:41
Riddelland e-mail the debain maintainer once it's in ubuntu01:41
pefRiddell: isn't this process automatic by utnubu project ?01:42
Riddellpef: possibly I'm not sure, but it's still polite to talk about it with the debian maintainer01:43
=== OculusAquilae [n=bastian@p548D10DC.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel
pefRiddell: ok, will do it01:44
Riddelloh and check it isn't already in debian of course01:45
pefRiddell: the 0.4.5 isn't present, only 0.4.4.501:47
Riddellok, so grab the debian latest and start working from that since I don't think there's and ubuntu changes to the package01:49
Riddells/and/any/01:49
pefRiddell: why not working directly to the most recent release ? (0.4.5) as requested by the bug report01:50
RiddellI ment for the debian packaging01:53
Riddelluse debian's latest packaging and throw that onto the latest qtparted01:53
Riddelland voila01:53
pefoh ok :)01:53
pefRiddell: but I will lose debian/changelog entries made for Ubuntu01:54

\sh?01:57
Riddell\sh: nice chinese dude who's been in here a few times the last couple of days01:57
\shRiddell: k..for approving01:57
Riddell\sh: dunno, he says he'll update scim and package skim so he sounds cool, and I guess we can unapprove him if he disappears off the internet01:58
pefRiddell: will take care of all that :)01:58
\shRiddell: sure...approved him01:58
Riddellpef: use kdesu or X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true01:58
\shkdesu should be the right answer to qtparted ;)01:58
pefRiddell: I know, same stuff as kvpnc ;)01:58
\shRiddell: I'll start to package and test new python-qt/kde3 stuff tomorrow 01:59
Riddellpef: make sure its using whatever our latest libparted is01:59
Riddell\sh: there's a new python-qt?02:00
\shRiddell: yepp..02:00
\shRiddell: and a new pre-release snapshot of pykde02:00
Riddellfun02:00
\shRiddell: but...any possibility to re-enable python-kde3 building in kdebindings? and just dropping python-dcop stuff?02:01
\shRiddell: I could wait for as well for the next release of pykde...for having kde>=3.4.2/kde3.5 support 02:01
\shRiddell: upstream wise ;)02:02
pefRiddell: autotools-dev stuff into debian diff.gz, erf :/02:02
Riddell\sh: that's possible but is the version in kdebindings always the latest pykde?02:03
Riddellpef: happens to the best of us02:03
pef:] 02:04
Riddell\sh: why drop python-dcop?02:04
\shRiddell: well it should be, but I don't know if kde upstream do take care about pykde stuff...I would like to see it to be taken over by kde upstream and maintaining by kde upstream as well02:04
=== jpatrick thinks he knows who freeflying is
\shRiddell: cause python-dcop (as I read it in the configure.{ac/in} the last time in 3.4.2) has only python2.2/2.3 build-deps possible and not python2.402:05
\shRiddell: so if you enable python-kde3 at the same time as python-dcop it clashes with the python versions...python-kde3 can't use 2.2 anymore02:06
\shRiddell: it's a mess, that's why python-kde3 is not enabled in kdebindings somehow02:07
Riddellpython-dcop depends on python 2.402:07
Riddellof course that doesn't mean it works02:07
Riddelljpatrick: who's that then?02:07
jpatrickRiddell: He was on Kubuntu Forums02:08
jpatrickThen he IMed me for a while02:08
\shRiddell: ok..I'll test with 3.4.3 tomorrow.if I can enable python-kde3 and python-dcop together, fine...so we have to make sure, latest python-kde3 is in kdesvn02:08
Riddell\sh: kdebindings 3.5 beta 2 if it's any help http://kubuntu.org/~jr/kde35beta2/kdebindings-3.4.92.tar.bz202:09
\shRiddell: I'll do two test cases...one with stable breezy kde and with kde3.5beta2...I mean it won't make so much difference, cause python-kde3 will not support 3.4.2/3.4.3/>=3.5 until next official release+102:10
jpatrickRiddell: Apparently he's supporting Linux in China...02:11
=== \sh has to reinstall his system tomorrow somehow...to a real clean env to work with...this install is totally messed up
=== Lathiat just switched his other laptop to kubuntu
Riddell\sh: if python-kde is always behind kde it doesn't make sense to use kdebindings which is released with kde02:13
Riddelljpatrick: nice guy or nutty hanger on?02:13
Riddell\sh: chroot is your friend02:14
RiddellLathiat: awooga02:14

jpatrickRiddell: nice guy overall02:14
\shRiddell: well...yes chroot...but my install is a complete mess ;) 02:15
Riddellexcellent, lets approve him for kubuntu team then02:15
\shRiddell: that's why I want to have it maintained by kde upstream...02:15
jpatrickRiddell: first time he spoke to a foreigner02:15
Riddelljpatrick: ooh, exciting02:15
\shRiddell: and everything is somehow slow02:15
\shregarding my new install of the other laptop..02:16
jpatrickRiddell: Have you seen this: http://kubuntuforums.net/index.php?topic=650.0 ?02:16
RiddellI like how people have whole blogs dedicated to kubuntu02:16
Riddelljpatrick: nope02:18
pefRiddell: can you try to build qtparted-0.4.5 from upstream tarball ?http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/qtparted/qtparted-0.4.5.tar.bz2?download I have a fatal error running unsermake02:19
Riddellpef: don't use unsermake then02:20
Riddelluninstall unsermake02:20
pefRiddell: and add it to Conflicts ?02:21
Riddellpef: yeah02:21
Riddellthen start again with a fresh buildtree, mixing unsermake and automake can mess things up02:22
pefRiddell: mm some files were generated by unsermake, so I can't switch so easily, I thing I have to write a patch to delete unsermake from shell scripts used to generate Makefile.*02:31
Riddelloh, qtparted does use unsermake02:44
Riddellinteresting, must be the first program to do that by default02:45
RiddellINSTALL file doesn't mention it, I wonder if that was done by mistake then02:45
Riddellbut it doesn't compile02:50
pefhttp://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1338759&forum_id=24729302:51
pefmaybe corrected in the cvs 02:51
freeflyinghi you all02:54
Riddellpef: it compiles fine if not using unsermae02:55
Riddellunsermake02:55
Riddellpef: best thing would be to run  make -f admin/Makefile.common  on the origional source then recreate the .orig 02:55
Riddellnot that in the changelog and don't use unsermake02:55
Riddelland tell upstream of their mistake02:55
Riddellafternoon freeflying 02:55
pefRiddell: ok, thank you :)02:56
freeflyinginow i want to build scim-qtimm for breezy02:56
freeflyingbut it seemed the qt should be patch 02:56
freeflyingbut the qt in breezy doesn't patched02:57

freeflyingthen i shall patch it for myself use own02:59
