raphinkhi there11:16
Riddellhi raphink 11:17
raphinkI was just going across this kontact bug in malone11:17
Tonio_hi all11:18
raphinkhi Tonio_ 11:18
raphinkRiddell: jpatrick proposed kontact should depend on all the components11:18
raphinkinstead of just suggesting them11:19
raphinkI tend to agree in a way11:19
Tonio_raphink: I do also11:19
raphinkI reckon it would make it take more space in memory for sometimes no use11:19
raphinkbut the way it is, kontact kind of depends on all the parts11:19
raphinkso that some buttons are not functional if all the parts are not there11:19
raphinkand if all the parts are too many, then the user can deactivate some (and activate again) in the preferences11:20
raphinkhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/313411:20
raphinkthis doesn't straighly solve the bug actually11:20
RiddellI've fixed that by moving the .desktop files that make the buttons at the side into the packages of each program11:20
raphinkbut in the end it fixes it though11:20
Tonio_raphink: guessing that you have to install multisynk for synchronization isn't very clear for a standard user11:21
raphinkwell that doesn't fix this bug though11:21
Riddellraphink: how doesn't it?11:21
Tonio_that's just an example, there are many others11:21
raphinkTonio_: and it's even less clear to guess it's gonna be available in kontact11:22
raphinkmost users have no conscious idea that kontact gathers several apps as parts11:22
raphinkthey juts open kontact and see lots of options11:22
Tonio_raphink: absolutly11:22
raphinkbut they totally ignore that kmail is the part dealing with email11:22
raphinkor kadressbook with addresses11:22
raphinkfor them it's just kontact11:22
Tonio_I personnaly had to search about 10 minutes to find the component to install for PDA sync...11:23
raphinkand if some functions are not available, it's not logical for most users to install a new app to have more parts in one11:23
raphinkimho11:23
raphinkthus I think jpatrick's proposition of installing all kontact parts by default is safe11:23
Tonio_the problem is that they are not named "kontact-akregator" or something11:23
raphinkand I, for one, am not at all the kind that enjoys installing things I don't use11:24
raphinkTonio_: and they shouldn't be11:24
Tonio_that way it could be possible to let them install complementary components11:24
raphinkif a user only wants an email client11:24
raphinkhe has no reason to install kontact11:24
raphinkkmail works fine alone11:24
Tonio_raphink: of course they shouldn't, but in that case it can be complicated i you want something that isn't provided with the default installation11:24
Tonio_so making kontact depending on all it's components is a good idea :)11:25
raphinkanother option, but I guess it's a nice one, would be to make a metapackage called kontact-components, that would install all components11:25
raphinkthe kontact package would recommend it, but not depend on it11:25
raphinkso it would still be easy to install kontact without the components for the ones who want it so11:25
raphinkand thus add components manually11:25
Tonio_raphink: yep that's another solution11:25
viviersfRiddell, you know anything bout this error that happens when you log out of kde sumtime "cannot talk to klauncher"11:25
raphinkor to have all the components added by default by installing this metapackage11:25
raphinkviviersf: very annoying one ;)11:26
viviersfyes11:26
viviersf:P11:26
raphinkbut not major11:26
viviersfyar11:26
Tonio_raphink: another question, do you know a tuto that would explain how to install ubuntu on a usb key ?11:26
raphinkthere's no crash, and it doesn't prevent from using any featur11:26
raphinkit's just ugly11:26
viviersfbut noobs in south africa have a fit with errors like that raphink 11:26
raphinkno idea Tonio_ 11:26
raphinkRiddell: what would you think of the metapackage option?11:27
Tonio_I haven't been able to find a debian based usb bootable distro11:27
raphinkhow do you mean viviersf ?11:27
raphinkTonio_: flonnix ?11:27
viviersfraphink, people here have issues with error messages like that11:27
viviersf:/11:27
raphinkah!11:27
Tonio_raphink: flonnix doesn't exist anymore11:29
raphinkok11:29
Riddellviviersf: I don't I'm afraid11:30
viviersfhmmm11:30
Riddellviviersf: you only get it on logout?11:30
viviersfyes Riddell 11:31
Riddellraphink: that would force people to install things they don't want, such as knode11:31
viviersfand it happens on certain pc's only11:31
viviersfand not always11:31
viviersfit weird11:31
raphinkno Riddell 11:31
raphinkRiddell: you don't understand my proposal i think11:31
raphinkthe idea would have to have a metapackage that would depend on all the components, called kontact-components, and installed by default so that users have all the components by default11:31
raphinkkontact wouldn't depend on it, but suggest it only11:32
raphinkso that users could safely remove this metapackage to keep only the parts they want11:32
raphinkbut if they want all the parts, installing this meta would do 11:32
Riddellraphink: hmm, interesting11:32
raphink:)11:33
raphinkwhen new parts are released, we could update the metapackage to have it install them by default11:33
raphinkthis way we keep both `easiness' for basic users and choice for advanced ones11:34
raphinkwhich is not the case if we have kontact directly depend on the parts of course11:35
Tonio_hum........11:36
Tonio_that's a pain here is no usbuntu :)11:36
Riddellviviersf: I haven't seen that I'm afraid.  tried blanking the .kde directory to see if it's something in there that's causing it11:36
raphinkTonio_: ;)11:36
Riddellotherwise might try asking on a kde channel or mailing list11:36
viviersfRiddell, i did 11:36
viviersfstill comes up11:36
raphinkRiddell: it seems this had been found to be an issue with kbluetoothd I think11:37
viviersfits one of kde's app11:37
viviersfin the system tray11:37
Riddellraphink: what is?11:43
raphinkthe bug with klauncher at logout Riddell 11:43
raphinkRiddell: what shall I do about kontact? do you want me to work on a meta ?11:44
Riddellraphink: sure11:44
raphinkok then I will :)11:44
raphinkI'll name it kontact-components11:44
raphinkand I'll release a patch for kontact, too :)11:45
Riddellraphink: just do it as part of the kdepim package11:50
Riddelldebdiff is fine11:50
raphinkah11:50
raphinkso you want me to modify kdepim and add a binary right?11:50
Riddellyeah, an empty one11:51
raphinksure11:51
raphink:)11:51
raphinkI'll do that11:51
Riddellalthough kdepim could be said to already cover this11:51
raphinkmhm11:52
raphinkhmm11:54
raphinkactually yes Riddell 11:54
raphinkkdepim would be quite the same as the one i'm gonna make ...11:54
raphinkso maybe what could be done would be to add a note on kontact components in the kdepim description11:55
raphinkso apt-cache searching for kontact would bring kdepim up11:55
raphink kdepim is a collection of Personal Information Management (PIM) tools for the11:55
raphink K Desktop Enviromnent (KDE).11:55
raphink .11:55
raphink This is an empty package which depends on the current version of every11:55
raphink application in the kdepim distribution.11:55
raphinkthis doesn't help understanding these parts are used in kontact11:56

jsgotangcoRiddell: ping?05:44
Riddelljsgotangco: pong?05:45
jsgotangcoRiddell: hi, just updating the kubuntu quick guide05:46
jsgotangcoRiddell: is it possible to just rename kbtobexclient to just simply bluetooth obex client?05:46
jsgotangcoas with the kbtserialchat05:47
Riddelljsgotangco: well it says "bluetooth obex client" in the menu05:48
jsgotangcoRiddell: it does but the name of the app itself just doesn't read right :/05:49
Riddelljsgotangco: where doesn't it read right?05:49
jsgotangcoRiddell: i meant it doesn't make sense (to me) at all, even if its obviously a bluetooth client, even the app itself is named "Bluetooth OBEX Object Push client"05:51
Riddellin the K-menu it says "Bluetooth OBEX Client"05:52
Riddellso where's the bad name?05:52
Riddellhmm, I see it in the titlebar 05:53
Riddelland it doesn't have an icon05:53

nlindbladRiddell: would a Swedish Kubuntu page be welcome?05:54
Riddellnlindblad: you mean website?05:54

Riddellnlindblad: what would be on it?05:55
nlindbladwell, a translation of the English website05:55
=== KaiL_ [n=KaiL@p548F7741.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Riddellnlindblad: that's tricky, it gets out of date quickly, see kubuntu.de for example05:56
Riddellnlindblad: what's needed is a way to properly translate the website05:56
Riddelli.e. export it to .po files etc05:56
Riddellnlindblad: if you want to investigate how to set that up that would be great :)05:57
Riddellit's just php, I know it's possible05:57
nlindbladRiddell: rosetta?05:57
nlindbladRiddell: ah, you mean a "choose your language" thing in PHP05:57
Riddellnlindblad: yes.  the tricky thing is exporting to .po and making the php use the .po files05:57
nlindbladRiddell: yeah05:57
Riddellit's entirely possible, I just don't have time for it05:58
Riddella quick google should find you ways to do it though05:58
nlindbladRiddell: but a real effiecent system with notifications to the translators it should be possible to translate every new text in no more than 12 hours05:58
Riddellyep05:58
nlindbladI'll do an investigation05:59

sealnehas anyone else seen errors in breezy with kubuntu.org 3.5 packages? with a fresh from cd breezy install followed by a dist-upgrade i get and error from kdepim-kresources_4%3a3.5.0-0ubuntu0breezy2_i386.deb "trying to overwrite `/usr/share/services/kresources/kcal/blogging.desktop', which is also in package libkcal2a"11:45
sealnethe dist-upgrade then fails, when i try it again it works11:47
sealnebut adept gives a pretty nasty error that my class is going to all get tommorow when they are installing kubuntu :(11:48
sealnebah11:48
alleesealne: before doing dist-upgrade to 3.5 tell them to rm /usr/share/services/kresources/kcal/blogging.desktop11:51
Riddellsealne: yes, I noticed that today11:51
Tonio_Riddell: raphink already uploaded soundkonverter11:51
Riddellsealne: I'll fix it for the 3.5.1 packages11:52
sealneta11:52
Tonio_package has been approved by kathie11:52
raphink:s11:52
Riddellraphink: you're fired11:52
Tonio_Riddell: is it necessary to post an exception requiest on the ML ?11:52
raphinkRiddell: booh :(11:52
raphinkRiddell: won't do it again :(11:52
Riddellraphink: ok, you're forgiven :)11:52
sealneallee: i think probably simpler to just rerun the dist-upgrade than tell them to delete the file11:53
raphink:)11:53
raphinkseems i've accumulated all the mistakes I could do on this package 11:53
raphinkI should not touch it anymore in the future11:53
raphinklol11:53
Riddellsealne: dpkg --install --force-overwrite /var/...11:53
Tonio_raphink: you don't have a lot of chance with this package ;)11:54
raphinkTonio_: you said it11:54
raphinklol11:54
sealneyeah, not sure why the second dist-upgrade dosen't just complain again, did the file move packages?11:54
raphinkgot wrong with the versionning, then with the orig, then with UVF11:54
Tonio_versioning errors, bad first uplolad, bad second upload lol11:54
raphinkTonio_: :p11:54
Tonio_arf11:54
raphink:(11:54
raphinkhehe11:54
raphinkthese are errors i'll watch more closely in the future11:55
Tonio_keep all errors on it, the rest of your work will stay brilliant ;)11:55
raphinkand I prefer to make them once, on a multiverse package11:55
raphinkhehe11:55
sealnewell theoretically eventually the monkeys at the typewriters would create a working package :)11:55
alleesealne: guess: during first dist-upgrade libkcalc2 is not upgraded, at second try libkcalc2 was already updated?11:56
sealnethats what i presume11:56
sealnehmm although it is complaining the file is also in libkcal2*a* isn't that the new one?11:57
sealnei can't remember11:57
sealneoh no b is the new one11:58
sealneso yeah11:58
