jjessemorning :)04:23

Riddelljpatrick: not easily, if you can work out a good way to get it to make and use .po files that would be gresat04:24
Riddellgreat04:24
jpatrickI could make a .pot04:31
Riddellwell yes, but you'd need some way of making it and some way of reading the appropriate .po file 04:33
Riddelland it would have to be done in such a way as not to make writing the website difficult04:34
Riddellbut it can't be difficult, google for php and gettext and I'm sure something will turn up04:34
jpatrickGNU gettext support in your PHP build you must add the option --with-gettext[=DIR]  where DIR is the gettext install directory04:40

jpatrickhmmm08:38
Knowerrorsthat was without ivman08:39
Knowerrorswith ivman, only difference is it gets mounted in /media/sda1 auto08:40
Knowerrorsbut system:/media still shows the usb as unmounted08:40
jpatrickdo you have HAL running?08:40
KnowerrorsI assume so, otherwise ivman wouldn't be able to automount it, right?08:41
jpatrickyep08:41
Knowerrorsif I click on the 16M icon, shouldn't that take me to /media/sda1 by itself, instead of trying to mount whats already mounted?08:41

Flosoftbut this is disabling quite a group of people10:08
Flosoftmost linux beginners will net be able to get kubuntu because of that10:08

author-psii hope for free shiping like ubuntu10:14
Flosoftyes10:15
Flosoftbut maybe getting it into shops10:15
insanekaneso why is GNOME preferred over KDE for most free CD distributions ? Same problem in India too :/10:15
Flosoftthat could be a first step10:15
Flosoftbecause free cds are difficult ...10:16
insanekaneso ? even if they were difficult, one should see about 50% free CDs for GNOME, and 50% with KDE10:17
Flosoftbut I could try to get them into a shop already?10:17
Flosoftinsanekane: ofcourse10:17
Flosoftatleast that10:17
insanekanebut its not like that ... 10:17
FlosoftI think most people prefer KDE10:17
author-psiinsanekane: nice idea.. but canonical.. :-)10:18
insanekanebut something forces people who *can* distribute either GNOME/KDE, to choose GNOME over KDE ... i wonder what's the magical touch of GNOME10:18
insanekaneauthor-psi: no, it was not an idea ... it was theoretical statistics :)10:18
Flosoftwell ... I think I can try and start to redistribute it in shops here in brussels10:18
Flosoftbut I am thinking about the package10:19
FlosoftI mean ... I have no idea how to make these hard covers10:20
Flosoftand the cds prints10:20
insanekanesomething's wrong with the world10:20
insanekane... as usual :)10:20
Flosoftyep10:20
Flosoftwhat should be in a kubuntu cd box?10:22
insanekanei havent used gNOME for years ... is GNOME better than KDE ? objectively speaking of course ...10:22
Flosoftor should it be a box?10:22
insanekaneFlosoft: probably just get hard cover CDROM boxes ... easily available in bulk10:22
insanekanei dont mean jewel cases10:22
Flosoftinsanekane: well ... gnome has nice integration of all apps together ... but for the rest it is a bit rusty10:22
insanekaneFlosoft: more integration than KDE ?10:23
RiddellI'd say KDE has far more integration/consistency than gnome10:23
insanekaneRiddell: thats what I thought too ...10:23
Riddelldepending on what you call gnome of course, gimp and firefox for example don't follow their style guidelines10:23
hunger_Anyone noticed the cpufreq reporting getting broken with the 2.6.15 kernels?10:23
insanekaneRiddell: so what is GNOME's magic touch ? why more free cd distributors for GNOME than KDE ?10:23
FlosoftI mean ... one thing that was really cool .. I had an incomming SIP call ... and my music faded out10:24
Flosoftthat is perfect cooperation between the aps10:24
hunger_Works fine when I boot the old kernel.10:24
=== hunger_ is now known as hunger
Riddellinsanekane: mostly historical that KDE was non-free10:31
insanekanehmm ... figured that would've eroded by now10:32
Riddellment red hat supported gnome, and ximian who somehow got lots of money and became novell10:32
Riddellsun's ATK work has been a /big/ plus for gnome10:32
Riddelland the culture of simplicity in user interfaces too10:33
insanekaneso Plasma/Appeal will probably make it more difficult to achieve that eh10:34
Riddellhow so?10:34
insanekaneumm ... more complicated user interactions ? new metaphors ?10:34
Riddellhopefully plasma will be simpler.  who knows10:34
insanekanehopefully10:35
FlosoftRiddel: was KDE once not free?10:35
insanekaneFlosoft: no, Qt was "not free" as in not under GPL10:35
RiddellFlosoft: once upon a time Qt was non-free10:35
Riddellmeaning KDE was too10:35
Flosoftow10:36
hungerRiddell: Do not forget that you need to license QT for a fee when doing commercal development.10:36
Riddellit's also why debian users tend towards gnome10:36
Flosoftwell that was past my time10:36
insanekanehunger: thats not so bad10:36
hungerRiddell: GTK is free.10:36
Riddellhunger: when doing properitry development10:36
insanekanehunger: Free as in speech, not beer remember :)10:36
Riddellhunger: so it Qt10:36
hungerRiddell: Qt is GPL or some proprietary license.10:37
insanekaneits questionable that free as in beer is a viable proposition i.e., will not be exploited by the big names as they do for patents today10:37
hungerinsanekane: Right... you need to pay for QT for proprietary development.10:37
insanekanehunger: yep ... and thats not so bad10:37
hungerI am only stating one reason Gnome cites for its success.10:37
insanekanehunger: paying them, helps KDE as well, since they do sponsor some of the devels iirc10:38
hungerinsanekane: Normally I am the one objecting to commercial/proprietary;-)10:38
insanekanehunger: :)10:38
insanekanehunger: then why Linux and not say any of the BSDs ?10:38
hungerinsanekane: Well, a company does not care about supporting KDE...10:39
hungerinsanekane: Simple reason: Management has heared about linux by now...10:39
insanekanehunger: probably, but management also has lawyers :)10:39
RiddellGTK being LGPL is a bigger help to gnome than most KDE people realise10:39
hungerinsanekane: Yeap... and they tell them to stay away from QT.10:39
Riddellinsanekane: Linux lets you link to it with proprietry software10:40
insanekaneRiddell: oh didn't know that10:40
Riddellinsanekane: that's why we have proprietry software10:40
insanekanewe ?10:40
insanekaneas in Kubuntu devels/canonical ?10:41
Riddellgnu/linux in general10:41
hungerRiddell: IIRC using proprietary SW on linux is not counted as linking.10:41
RiddellI have skype installed I'm afraid to say10:41
hungerRiddell: Separate address spaces, etc.10:41
Flosoftis there anyone here that is in contact with the Kopete devs?10:42
Riddellyes10:42
=== hunger is waiting for kubuntu-desktop to become installable again.
Flosoft:) ... maybe the one that does the jabber part?10:43
RiddellFlosoft: what's up with it?10:43
FlosoftI wanted to ask him some stuff10:43
Flosoftas I work alot with jabber10:43
insanekaneRiddell: so you an employee of Canonical ?10:43
hungergood night all!10:44
=== claydoh [n=claydoh@65.99.186.143] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Riddellhunger: guidance is going to be the tricky one10:44
Riddell\sh: what's the status of pykde?10:45
Riddellinsanekane: very nearly, I signed the contract just some hours ago10:45
jjessewahoo then :)10:45
Flosoftare there some objectives in kde development in integrating the software better with eachother?10:46
Flosoftand maybe making the whole interface even easier ?10:46
Flosoftmaybe there should be a kubuntu update watcher10:47
Flosoftand someone should fix kynaptic10:47
Riddellkynaptic is being removed if it hasn't been already10:47
Riddellkubuntu update watcher?10:47
Flosoftyes10:47
FlosoftSuSE has one10:47
Flosoftlike a small tray icon10:47
insanekaneFlosoft: update watcher = mornfall is working on it10:47
Riddelloh, update-notifier, yes10:48
Flosoftow nice :)10:48
FlosoftI really think an objective of KDE should be to make the software work together10:49
Flosoftlike on mac10:49
Flosoftunlike windows10:49
Riddellthat is an objective of KDE10:50
Flosoft:)10:50
Riddellif you have any suggestions I'm sure everyone would be happy to listen10:50
Flosoftow yes ... maybe easier hardware installation etc.10:51
Flosoftfor example suse has a Hardware watcher10:51
Flosoft(YaST10:51
Flosoft)10:51
Flosoftit would make it easier to configure all hardware in your pc10:52
Riddellwhat would it watch for?10:52
Flosofthardware changes10:52
Riddellany specific examples?10:52
Flosoftfor example a new soundcard ... network card ... cd drive10:52
Flosofteven mainboard ... cpu10:53
Riddellall of those are already detected at boot time10:53
RiddellI think10:54
Flosoftyes ... but configuration is difficult10:54
Flosoftfor example soundcards10:54
FlosoftI got 2 old soundcards still in my boottime ... but they don't exist anymore10:54
RiddellI haven't had to configure a soundcard in gnu/linux for years10:54
Riddellsince using suse infact :)10:54
Flosofthehe10:54
Flosoftwell SuSE is quite nice ... if u want to look @ an easy to use Linux10:55
jjessegrin i still ahve to figure out my soundcard issues on an older dell of mine :(10:55
FlosoftI always install suse on the pcs of my clients that use Linux @ home10:55
Flosoftit is easy10:55
Flosoftonly problem .... UPDATE10:55
Riddellsuse is nice but rpms are a pain10:55
Flosoftand that is a real pain in the ass :p10:55
Flosoftwell apt is great10:56
Flosoftit has everything10:56
Flosoftbut a tool like yast for kubuntu10:56
Flosofteasy hardware configuration etc.10:56
Riddellyes, that's why ubuntu is getting rid of apt :)10:57
Flosoft???10:57
Flosoftwhats wrong with apt?10:57
RiddellI don't know, but I guess we'll find out in 6 months10:58
Flosofthehe10:58
jjessei love apt, i use it more than adept10:58
Flosoftwell i use synaptic ... which is a frontend of apt10:59
insanekanecanonical is getting rid of apt ? that is really bad10:59

=== Riddell hugs \sh
insanekanehmm i hope so11:00
\shRiddell: do not worry...you will get some new pykde for 3.511:00
Riddell\sh: it's more the people complaining that kubuntu-desktop isn't installable because guidance isn't installable that I need to keep back with a whip11:01
Flosoftow ... just got a thing11:01
Flosoftthe installer!!11:01
Riddellinsanekane: investigate "smart"11:01
Flosoftafaik debian has a new one?11:01
\shRiddell: tell them....\sh is an asshole :) he don#t care about kubuntu-desktop they should install kdebase ,-)11:01
Flosoftand kubuntu should have a new one too11:02
Flosoftlike Fedora Core .. SuSE (again :p)11:02
\shBAH11:02
Riddell\sh: you're waiting on pykde upstream?  doesn't that mean you could wait a long time?11:02
\shRiddell: no...just tomorrow..he wrote that he wants to release a new version tomorrow...11:03
Riddell\sh: oh, excellent11:03

RiddellFlosoft: nope11:10
Flosoftow11:10

Flosoftsame as kubuntu has11:11
Riddellyes11:12
insanekaneRiddell: smart ?11:12
Flosofthmm11:12
insanekaneRiddell: btw, unlike the rest of world (well most of it), time is ripe for KDE in India11:12
Flosoftwell the thing I like most in the new KDE ... that is the integration of KDElook.org etc. in kde11:13
insanekanetime is ripe for any desktop ... but, i hope KDE takes the lead11:13
=== Flosoft shares the oppinion of insanekane
insanekaneFlosoft: im talking abt India :)11:13
Flosoftwell for the general linux market too11:14
insanekanedunno ... looks like GNOME has it all :/11:15
Riddellinsanekane: are you in india?11:17
insanekaneRiddell: smart ?11:17
insanekaneRiddell: yep11:17
Riddellinsanekane: where abouts?11:17
insanekaneRiddell: Kerala, India (big GNOME fanbase here ... FSF India HQ is in Kerala)11:18
Riddellinsanekane: I /may/ be going to New Delhi in February11:18
insanekaneRiddell: cool :)11:18
insanekaneRiddell: its like the other end of the country ;)11:18
insanekaneRiddell: KDE-related work ?11:19

insanekaneRiddell: cool :)11:20
insanekaneRiddell: you could meet taj there :)11:20
insanekanemaybe you know him already11:20
Riddellapparantly he's moving away11:20
insanekaneoh ... didn11:20
insanekanet know that :/11:20
insanekaneim out of touch with the free software community in india ... mostly because all of them are addicted to GNOME :)11:21
insanekaneok gotta go ... its 4:00 am here :)11:23
insanekaneciao all11:23
Flosofthey ... does anyone know a programm for like Music Jingles (maybe amarok plugin11:25
Flosoftextension)11:25
seth_k|awayhi Riddell, Ubuntu's krusader == Debian's krusader, and the newer upstream version is a beta... you still want it?11:28
Riddellseth_k: package 1.60.111:30
seth_kokey dokey11:31
=== allee [n=ach@dialin-145-254-251-164.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Riddellseth_k: that's a security fix, make sure you mention CVE-2005-3856 in the changelog11:32
seth_kthanks :)11:34
=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@CPE-144-136-118-222.nsw.bigpond.net.au] has joined #kubuntu-devel
=== Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@CPE-144-136-118-222.nsw.bigpond.net.au] has joined #kubuntu-devel
seth_kwhew, that's a lot of dropped hunks. /me gets caffeine11:42
seth_kRiddell, almost all these dropped hunks are in Makefiles... is there a trick to that?11:49
seth_kah, I'll just patch by hand instead methinks...11:57
=== seth_k stops muttering to self :)
Riddellseth_k: what are you doing?11:58
seth_kRiddell, uupdate -u drops something like 600 hunks on all the makefiles12:00
seth_kwhat's the correct way to deal with that?12:00
Tm_TRiddell: about qt4 packages in dapper... they doesn't have -debug, right?12:00
Riddellseth_k: I'd just make a new .orig and copy accross the old debian/ directory12:02
RiddellTm_T: dunno, haven't looked at them12:02
RiddellI'd expect a dbg package12:02
Tm_Thmm12:03
Tm_Tthen I might get kdelibs4-snapshot compiled using them12:03
Tm_Tmight :p12:03
seth_kalright Riddell, I had thought of that but wasn't sure if it was the right way12:03
