hungerI had expected that the big breakages are over now with the next version of (k)ubuntu drawing nearer.09:12
hungerHmmm... looks like mephis is considering ubuntu as its base distribution. Maybe that will give some more weight to kubuntu as well.09:28

MrFaberhi all10:48
MrFaberI have a question according to the standard kubuntu kde theme.10:48
MrFaberIf I install a new theme or change settings and want to set them back to standard everything looks different to the kubuntu standard skin and I have no clue how to set it back without resetting some configuraton files. Isn't it possible to ship kubuntu with a kde theme which can be easyly choosen under system settings?10:49
MrFaberMaybe I miss something which can reset it but I think it would be a good idea too.10:49
RiddellMrFaber: yes, we should ship a .theme file10:50
MrFaberthanks10:50
Riddellalthough we don't make the theme module easily choosable at the moment10:50
RiddellI'll try and remember to poke tonio about that, he's doing the default settings stuff at the moment10:50
MrFabermany thanks10:50
Riddellof course you can always just rm -r ~/.kde, but that's not always a good idea :)10:51
MrFaberyes, than all my settings are lost :-D10:51
MrFaberI have tried to set all settings back in menu but it looks completly different10:51
MrFaberthan changed configuraition files and killed some kde parts10:52
MrFaberSo I have to remove it and only recover important parts of my settings10:52
MrFaberlike logs and so on10:52
MrFaberbut for beginners it isn't that easy :-D10:52
MrFaberBTW does anyone knows why KDE sepparates a app config file from his app directory?10:54
MrFaber.kde/share/apps and .kde/share/config I think it would be easier if everything is in one directory10:54
MrFaberfor recovery10:54
RiddellMrFaber: no paticular reason that I know of but I think it makes things easier for us to customise, e.g. we only need one /etc/kde3 directory and one directory for /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/10:55
MrFaberok, that makes sense and if you know it it is no big deal10:56
MrFaberok, thanks and cu all10:57

jeroenvrphi folks 11:12
jeroenvrpIs it not a good idea to make update-apt a dependency of Adept?11:13
jeroenvrpwithout that adept-notifier has no function, because it doesnt know about new packages11:13
Riddelladept-notifier does know that there are new packages11:14
Riddelland lets you open adept-updater to download11:14
Riddellalthough downloading the .debs nightly as an option might not be a bad idea, ready to install when the user wants11:15
mornfallRiddell: currently that's an option with the cronjob, i think11:17
mornfallRiddell: should work transparently with adept-*11:17
mornfallmaybe it should be configurable in the GUI though11:17

jeroenvrpRiddell: thansk for your answer, but when and how does adept-notifier check if there are new packages?11:39
jeroenvrpcause it always stays green at my place11:39
Riddelljeroenvrp: mornfall will know the details11:40
jeroenvrpmornfall: ping11:40
RiddellI imagine it's whenever apt-get update is run, which includes the nightly cron run11:40
jeroenvrpRiddell: let me see11:41
jeroenvrpRiddell: is that /etc/cron.daily/apt ?11:42
Riddelllooks about it11:43
jeroenvrpmmm when I run it standalone it doesn't do anything11:43
mornfalljeroenvrp: you may have it disabled11:47
jeroenvrpah wait it must be configured in the apt-config11:47

jeroenvrpmornfall: did you saw my wishlist item about a quick filte ron package name only?11:49
JReRiddell: ok :)11:49
mornfalljeroenvrp: seen, haven't decided what to do about it yet11:50
JReRiddell: but every user will experience the bug since there is a dialog box showed if cdrdao is not executed as root11:50
Tm_Taye11:51
RiddellJRe: then we'll remove that dialogue box :)11:51
jeroenvrpmornfall: ok, its the only option keeping me from switching to adept 11:51
JReRiddell: yeah but it's very bad to use cdrdao without root privileges ;)11:51
jeroenvrpone other thing Riddell 11:52
mornfalljeroenvrp: if you find a nice non-intrusive way to make it accessible, let me know :)11:52
RiddellJRe: why?  it's managed fine so far11:52
Riddellactually it's managed without cdrdao at all11:52
jeroenvrpmornfall: a checkbox11:52
jeroenvrpwith search in packagename only11:52
JReRiddell: having cdrdao launched as root increase a lot the stability of the burning process because it became top priority over the other processes you have launched11:53
jeroenvrpor something like "package:" before the searcht term11:53
jeroenvrpor onlu p: 11:53
RiddellJRe: talk to pitti about it, he's the one who can decide if something is setuid11:53

bert_On the Klik site they mention 'is your kernel cramfs enabled?03:29
hungerbert_: You are not using all loopdevs yourself, are you? (i.e. by running other klick apps).03:29
bert_No03:30
bert_They say to use to check zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CRAM03:30
bert_Should return: CONFIG_CRAMFS=m03:31

hungerbert_: You are not using a ubuntu-kernel/03:34
hungerbert_: those have no /proc/config.gz:-)03:34
hungerbert_: Get a ubuntu kernel. That has cramfs built in. (see /boot/config-kernelversion)03:35
bert_Installed Kubuntu 5.10 fron CD I downloaded, then updated KDE to 3.5, then to 3.5.1 over the internet03:36

=== sebas tries.
raphinksebas: the mouse becomes black05:08
sebasNothing strange, what do you get?05:08
raphinka black cursor instead of the hand05:08
sebasNo, hand, from the theme I chose.05:08

raphinksebas: 3.5.1 on dapper or breezy?05:08
sebasWhich theme do you use?05:08
sebasDapper here.05:08
raphinkok good05:08
raphinki'll check with dapper then05:09
raphink;)05:09
raphinkin breezy it's all buggy05:09
raphinkterrible05:09
sebasI've breezy here aswell, but didn't notice such thing.05:09
sebasI'd need to reboot, though I'd rather not :>05:09
raphinkok let's try something else05:09
freeflyingraphink: kde3.5.1 works better than 3.5.0 in dapper 05:09
raphinksebas: open the keyboard selector in kcontrol05:09
raphinkdo you hve the list of available layouts?05:10
sebasNope. empty.05:10
sebasThat05:10
raphinkyep, I consider that a major bug05:10
sebas's quite serious, though.05:10
raphinkthen05:11
raphinkanother one05:11
raphinkopen kontact05:11
raphinkcreate a new email05:11
sebasIt's open :)05:11
raphinkenter an adress in the recipient field05:11
raphinkthen, without closing the message, go to the kaddressbook section in kontact05:11
raphinkthen quit05:11
raphinkand you'll lose all your contacts05:11
raphinkyou just lose your contact list in .kde05:11
raphinkmajor, too05:12
sebasEeh, you don't want to screw me, right? :P05:12
sebasDon't make me loose data while testing, at least *warn* me before...05:12
raphinkanother funny one: kmail doen't work with kdepim anymore05:12
sebasHow do you mean?05:13
raphinkyou can't use filters to select contacts in an email05:13
raphinkand stuff like that05:13
raphinkyou can only choose from the contacts kmail remember05:13
raphinkbut have no access to your kaddressbook ones05:13
sebasAre those reported upstream, btw?05:13
raphinkthis one is05:13
raphinkI did report it05:13
raphinkthe one that deletes the address book I reported in 3.505:13
raphinkquite a long time ago05:13
raphinkit's not fixed,although it's major05:14
raphinkthe kxkb one was added in 3.5.105:14
raphinkfor such a small app as kxkb, there is a 34kb diff in the source05:14
raphinkbetween 3.5 and 3.5.105:14
raphinkI don't call that a bug fixing release05:14
raphinkthere are whole new functions added05:14
raphinkthings recoded05:15
raphinkI've got a hard time thinking kde 3.5.1 could be the default one in dapper05:15
raphinkwith such big issues around05:15
sebasWell, there's always local patches. ...05:15
sebasKDE 3.5.0 has serious issues aswell.05:16
raphinkyes sebas 05:16

raphinkbut I think I don't understand what the KDE team means by bug fixing05:16
raphinkalso, I report quite a lot to the KDE bts but it's such a mess that I get tired of it05:16
sebasYou should raise that on kde-core-devel then.05:16
raphinkdoes the KDE team really want to do a bug fixing release some time?05:17
raphinkit doesn't seem so05:17
raphinkI don't like gnome much, but at least when they say they fix things, they do05:17
sebasEeh, really, I'm not the one who can help you there.05:17
raphinkyes I know sebas 05:17
raphinkjust expressing my deception05:17
sebasNah, GNOME has *nothing* to do with it, and with that kind of argumentation, you'll get nowhere.05:18
=== claydoh [n=clay@65.99.187.224] has joined #kubuntu-devel
sebasWell, get an svn account, fix things, that's the way to go.05:18
raphinkKDE needs to focus on bug fixing in kde 3.5 that's my point05:18
raphink3.5 is released, and 4 is the new dev version05:18
raphinkI'm not a c++ dev05:18
raphink:(05:19
sebasAnd don't forget ... about half of the problems you have are fixed in dapper, so it's not all that bad.05:19
raphinkhmm05:19
sebasI can reproduce one yet, and didn't try one of your issues since I don't want possible dataloss.05:20
sebasThen get someone to fix it for you, that's the way it goes.05:20
sebasComplaining doesn't help as long as people don't have time.05:20
sebasIt's not like someone is obliged to fix it for you.05:21
raphinkyes I knwo sebas, I'm the first one to say that to people who complain and do nothing 05:21
sebasOk, are those problems still there in current svn then?05:21
raphinkI shall install current svn to check I guess05:22
sebasYou can hardly complain about a version that is a) not officially supported, b) when you didn't check if it's changed.05:22
sebascode freeze for 3.5.1 was about a month ago...05:22
raphinkmhm05:22
raphinkyes I know05:22
sebasMaybe stuff is fixed, then you can search the svnlog and propose to include some patch in dapper.05:23
raphinkI'll check for diff in the svn05:23
sebasOk :)05:23

kkathmanRiddell:  a suggestion - I wonder if we could include another package in Dapper - taskjuggler.  This is a project management application for KDE.  We currently seem to have something for ubuntu but not anything worthwhile for Kubuntu?10:38
Riddellkkathman: it's in universe, what's the equivalent in ubuntu?10:51
kkathmanRiddell:  hmm...I did an !info on it through ubotu and it didnt find it (maybe not in breezy then)10:52
Riddellno, I've a feeling it's only recently been packaged10:53
Riddellthere's also kplato now (in koffice archives)10:53
kkathmanRiddell: planner is the package in ubuntu10:54
Riddellpart of gnome-office, so in main10:54
kkathmanRiddell:  its mentioned in the ubuntu desktop guide10:54
Riddellkplato will go into main when koffice 1.5 is uploaded (probably after dapper)10:54
Tonio_re10:55
kkathmanRiddell: when I was writing the Kubuntu desktop guide - I was looking for an alternative, so I did a search and found only a package called Kfocus, which is a very old package and not what we want10:55
Tonio_Riddell: I have a little question concerning koffice.... do you compile it with msoffice compatibility enabled ?10:55
Tonio_s/compile/package10:56
kkathmanHowever, since I also have a SuSE implementation in my network, I found that they had this "taskjuggler" which is a bit more robust10:56
RiddellTonio_: the ms filters should all be there yes10:56
kkathmanso glad to know it will be in Dapper10:56
kkathmanI should amend that in the Kubuntu guide10:56
Riddellah well taskjuggler is written by the former head of suse's something devision so they will include it :)10:56
Tonio_Riddell: okay nice , I may test the latest at work on monday then :)10:56
=== Riddell compiles kdebase with raphink fix

Tonio_Riddell: working on bluez-utils acutally, but I have a doubt on the method you prefer to correct this....11:13
Tonio_actually there is an hcid.conf file in the sources copied directly in /etc/bluetooth11:14
Tonio_that contains the pin_helper setting11:15
Tonio_you told me that you were not fan of postinst scripts, so how would you change that knowing that the file is parsed via the hcid daemon directly ?11:16
Tonio_hacking the c source directly via a patch or something ?11:16
alleeTonio_: patch hcid.conf in the source11:17
Tonio_allee: hi ;)11:17
alleeTonio_: hi :)11:17
alleeTonio_: typing bluetooth, rings a bell here ;)11:18
Tonio_allee: but it is a static file..... what can I had inside except a path ? I can't put a variable or something.....11:18
Tonio_allee: lol11:18
Tonio_the problem is that I don't see another mecanism except a postinst script for that.......11:19
alleeTonio_: oh.  Please bring me up to date.  You don't plan to set a 'pin_helper = /path/to/wrapper' ?11:19
Tonio_allee: yes11:20
Tonio_it is set to bluez-pin by default, which cannot be installed on kubuntu for gnome depandancies reasons11:20
alleeTonio_: What instead?  changing a conffile is a policy violation11:20
Tonio_kdebluetooth adds its own kbluepin11:20
alleeI know11:20
Tonio_so the idea is to change the pin_helper value in some way when we are on kubuntu to set it to kbluepin value11:21
Tonio_my idea was to use a postinst script that would check KDE_FULL_SESSION and depending the variable exists or not, making a sed on the config file11:22
Tonio_and I don't see another simple/efficient process except patching the full hcid daemon....11:22
alleesed a config file -> policy violation11:23
Tonio_allee: I know11:24
Tonio_but I don't find another way....11:24
alleeTonio_: that a hack.  Get a wrapper script in bluez pkg.  If hcid.conf is not changed it will be updated, ..11:24
Tonio_except complex patch on hcid.c11:24
alleeif not user will be prompted in a compliant manner11:25
alleeTonio_: before using a complex hcid hack, hack kbluepin to listen for dbus msgs.11:26
Tonio_allee: I'm not able to do that ;) I'm not a developper, and I don't know C anyway11:27
alleebtw. kbluepin relies on :0 11:27
alleeso kbluepin is a hack too ;)11:27
Tonio_allee: impossible for me....11:27
alleeMe too :)11:28
alleeWell with a bit of time, I get it, but I will not find this time :(11:28
Tonio_but I must say I don't understant the reason a config file doesn't have to be modified by a postinst script.........11:28
Tonio_config files are done to be configured for our needs..... sounds ununderstandable for me11:29
alleeTonio_: E.g. I would be pissed because I have my own setup11:29
Tonio_okay11:29
alleeTonio_: what's wrong, or what will go wrong, with the wrapper approach?11:29
Tonio_allee: no I understand11:30
Tonio_I perfectly understand the purpose11:30
Tonio_but well as long as kdebluetooth is installed with kubuntu11:30
alleeif [ -x /usr/bin/bluepin ]  then; blueping; else kblueping; fi11:31
Tonio_it would be confusing for the user in some way to get prompted to set the value for their pinhelper when only ONE value is possible11:31
allee^^ this script will call kbluepin on kubuntu and bluepin in ubuntu  (defaults assumed)11:31
Tonio_allee: I have already that, but where to put it on ?11:32
Tonio_the problem is in fact I don't see where can this script be called :)11:32
alleehcid.conf  pin_helper '/path/to/wrapper'11:32
Tonio_we have a daemon calling a .conf file.......11:32
allee[23:16]  <allee> Tonio_: patch hcid.conf in the source11:32
Tonio_I can't put bash code in .conf (or you have to teach me how lol)11:32
alleeecho 'if [ -x /usr/bin/bluepin ]  then; blueping; else kblueping; fi'  > /etc/bluetooth/pinwrapper; chmod 755 ...11:33
alleeadd make hcid.conf in bluez pkg accordingly11:34
Tonio_allee: here is the point I don't understand, the package is build on a machine where kde is not installed11:35
alleeah, "$@" needs to be added to pass the in/out and btaddr11:35
Tonio_so kbluepin will not be present, and the package cannot be "ready for kubuntu"11:35
Tonio_or I miss something11:35
alleeyes, with pin_helper set to /etc/bluetooth/pinwrapper11:35
alleeTonio_: It's enough that the wrapperscript is in bluez pkg11:35
alleeTonio_: later at runtime this script picks kbluepin in kubuntu and bluepin in ubutntu11:36
Tonio_allee: the problem is that I perfectly understand that :)11:37
alleeTonio_: still confused?11:37
Tonio_my problem is "how and where to call the wrapper script ???"11:37
Tonio_I have the xrapper script11:38
alleeTonio_: hcid will call the script when it need a pin11:38
=== apachelogger isn't here, but don't cry, he'll be back
Tonio_allee: so I need to hack hcid, that's exactly what I was sayin ;)11:38
Tonio_I can't do that, I don't have the knowledge to.....11:38
Tonio_I understand the mecanism, but I'm unable to do that by myself....11:39
alleeTonio_: you just need to patch hcid.conf via debian/patches/kubuntu_XY_wrapper>_as_pinhelper.diff, not hcid sources11:39
=== allee always assumed that patching the bluez sources is okay
Tonio_allee: the wrapper will be applied during the package building right ?11:40
Tonio_hum there is something that I don't understand.... makes me crazzy11:41
alleeTonio_: during build: only the patch of the wrapper is written/patched into hcid.conf, and the script itself is added to the pkg11:41
raphinkRiddell: feel free to modify the patch if you think adding the directory is better than changing it ;) hehe11:43
alleeTonio_: a) download bluez-utils sources, b) search & patch hcid.conf to contain the wrapper c) dh_install pinwrapper /etc/bluetooth  d) debuild; sudo debi11:43
alleedebian/bluez-utils/etc/bluetooth that is11:44
raphinkRiddell: I'm not so good with c++ (never learned) and I didn't know whether this array was used with fixed references (element 0 being used to grep the list of layouts) or entirely 11:44
raphinkRiddell: however I'm happy to learn it would work by adding the /etc/X11/ dir to the arry instead of replacing the /usr/share/X11 one11:45
