Hobbseethat better?12:08
Riddellthanks Hobbsee 12:08
Hobbsee:)12:08
infinitezerosthanks hobbsee12:08
Hobbsee:) no problems12:09
alleeHobbsee: mhmm, okay. I have to rmmod/modprobe ipw2200 when I use wpa.12:09
Hobbseeallee: i tried out the 0.11rc1 version of ndiswrapper, or whatever it is - not sure if that's the problem.  but i'm very tempted to get knetworkmanager from cvs and try that as well - kwifimanager has a tendancy to lie!12:09
RiddellI don't think knetworkmanager is in CVS12:10
Hobbseeah ok - i had it working, until i cancelled out of the wpa test thing, which you're supposed to be able to do12:10
Hobbseei thought that's how you'd said you'd gotten it...12:10
sebasBTW, the guidance team just showed that it took _only_ten_minutes_ from bugreport to '12:11
sebasfix is in svn'. :-)12:11
Hobbseewow!12:11
RiddellI should have reported it to bugs.kde.org, then you would have made the stats :)12:11

Riddellviviersf: hi11:08
viviersfRiddell, hello, i have to remember what i wanted to ask :/11:09
Riddellmornfall: libapt-front is fine but adept tried to build before libapt-front was compiled11:11
mornfallRiddell: libapt-front is failed on ia64 (says launchpad)11:12
mornfallpossibly due to tagcoll being b0rked on the arch11:12
Riddellmornfall: ia64 is just broken like that11:14
mornfallaha11:14
Riddellhmm no, it is due to broken tagcoll11:16
mornfallright, i meant why is ept in dep-wait11:18
Riddelljust because it tried to build before libapt-front was done11:20
Riddellwe'll need to wait for infinity to wake up to ask for it to be given back11:20
seaLnedidn't kdevelop used to have licenses in it so you could select GPL from the new project wizzard?11:20
mornfallahum11:20
mornfallokey11:20
RiddellseaLne: sounds about right11:20
RiddellseaLne: could be another case of the kdevelop->kdevelop3 rename breaking things11:21
seaLnecause it means you end up with no license automatically inserted and have to edit every file manually11:22
Tonio_Riddell: netswitch is packaged, I'm currently packaging gnetswitch, and I should get a tarball for knetswitch today11:33
Riddellcool11:38
Riddellthese fonts do look big now with the DPI set 11:38
Tonio_Riddell: kubuntu-default-settings will set all fonts to 9 by defualt11:38
Tonio_8 or 9 depending11:39
Tonio_but the actual default for you is 12 I think no ?11:39
Tonio_I think 9 is a good compromise, but I personnaly prefer 8, what do you think ?11:39
Riddell11 I think11:39
Tonio_11 by default ??????11:39
RiddellTonio_: any idea what gnome uses?  would be good to do the same11:39
Tonio_gnome is 9 I think11:39
Tonio_and 10 for rare things11:40
Tonio_osx and windows are the equivalent of 9 and 8 respectively11:41
Tonio_Riddell: http://planetemu.net/temp/capture1.png11:43
Tonio_that's 9 and I can confirm I have exactly the same size with gnome11:44
seaLnein ubuntu is there any similar concept to /etc/rc.local ie a way of things getting run at startup without aving to write init scripts??11:46
Riddelllooks nice11:46
RiddellseaLne: I don't think so (could well be wrong)11:47
seaLneyeah, bah11:48
seaLnehmm /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh11:49
Tonio_Riddell: I'm correcting the amarokrc today and will send you the kubuntu-default-settings package tomorrow11:49
Riddellhunger: when does /usr become available?11:51
seaLneRiddell: a proper way seems to be placing scripts in /etc/rc.boot11:53
Riddell_Sime: I'll change displayconfig-hwprobe.py to S37, so it's after mountall12:28

freeflyingRiddell: you have uploaded qt?01:16
Riddellfreeflying: yes01:18
freeflyingRiddell: I prepare apply for devel membership , will u give me any advice01:20
Riddellfreeflying: the guy who reported that kde crashed on logout said the new qt fixed it so looks like those patches do the stuff01:21
freeflyingRiddell: yeah, but after kde-3.5.1, i've not experienced that crash 01:22
Riddellfreeflying: your packages often need some corrections, I'm not sure if you should go for devel membership yet, dunno01:23

hungerdoko: Worked for me.01:44

luka74Riddell: another issue with new kpowersave - it wants to remove powernowd01:50
luka74but powernowd is needed by *ubuntu-desktop :-(01:50
=== LeeJunFan [n=junfan@adsl-69-210-207-5.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
luka74(this is with 0.5.7 packages I was trying to repackage from debian)01:51
hungerluka74: maybe they can remove that in ubuntu-devel, too. They use gnome-power-manager now which at least offers a gui to config it.01:52
luka74it looks like I will need to install Ubuntu once - just to understand how it works.. ;-)01:54
hungerluka74: Pretty well wrt. power management.01:54
hungerluka74: it is gnome though... so the other apps suck.01:54
luka74the problem is the kpowersave has so many features that steps on Ubuntu implementation...01:55
Riddellluka74: yeah, that's why I want to strip out all those features and just use the ubuntu ones :)01:56
hungerkpowersave looks really good.01:56
luka74that seems to be getting harder and harder with each release of kpowersave01:56
=== hunger thinks the GUI sucks:-)
luka74Riddell: have you see another forwarded e-mail - it seems that there are just two incompatible views01:57
luka74on how PM should be implemented01:57
hungerAnd it does not want my laptop to suspend to RAM01:57
Riddellhunger: if pmi is failing I think your problem is with the ubuntu scripts, not KDE01:58
Riddellwell, could be linux, not just the scripts of course01:58
hungerRiddell: /etc/acpi/sleep.sh works fine.01:58
hungerRiddell: acpid recognizes the suspend button, too.01:59
Riddellhunger: and pmi?01:59
hungerRiddell: pmi action suspend does a suspend/resume cycle (as does pmi action hibernate).02:06
hungerRiddell: The box does not stay down.02:06
hungerRiddell: The same happens nowadays with /etc/acpi/sleep.sh:-(02:07
hungerRiddell: So this no longer is a kubuntu issue.02:07
hungerTonio_: Plus the decissions reached will be documented, so we do not need to repeat the discussions all the time.~.02:21

jpatrickit's GPL on kde-look.org :)05:45

Tonio_jpatrick: I'm building, but that sounds nice :)05:54

Tonio_for example05:54
jpatrickI copied what was at the end of debian/kautoclick.1.docbook05:55

jpatrickyes06:24
Tonio_let me check06:24
Tonio_jpatrick: okay for the clean section, just build and it is removed06:26
Tonio_jpatrick: what about the .desktop file ? I don't see any install directive on rules and no patch06:26
jpatrickit hasn't updated yet :s06:27
Tonio_ah okay ;)06:27
jpatrickok now06:27
Tonio_jpatrick: the .desktop file still misses Categories06:28
jpatrickd'oh06:28
Tonio_that's important because this is what defines where will the icon go in the K menu ;)06:29
jpatrick"Categories=Qt;KDE;"06:29
Tonio_also, the GenericName is what appears in the K menu nearby the application name06:29
Tonio_so the description is supposed to give a very short descrtive of the application06:29
Tonio_for example : Adept (Package Manager)06:30
Tonio_means that GenericName is set to "Package Manager"06:30
Tonio_otherwise, the entry in the K menu will be a bit crapy06:30
Tonio_that's all, the package is very clean ;)06:30

Tonio_also, s/GenericName=A simple KDE Application/GenericName=Task Automation06:47
jpatrickwhat about the i18n's?06:48
Tonio_because I don't think seeying "Kautoclick (A simple KDE Application)" in the K menu is nice06:48
Tonio_hum06:48
Tonio_yes, that's a problem, and what I do is generally add GenericName and GenericName[fr] 06:48
Tonio_then send the patch to upstream06:49
Tonio_I don't another solution06:49
jpatrickbrb - supper06:49
Tonio_I don't <have>06:49
Tonio_the problem is that a generic comment like "A simple KDE Application" will make the K menu crappy.......06:49

hungerTonio_: I was sending ssh-escapes to recover a stuck session and somehow those got bitchx to do something on the other end of the seemingly dead line:-(06:59
=== hunger thinks kpowersave looks promissing.
Tonio_hunger: totally agree ;)07:00
hungerIs that going to get used for kubuntu?07:01
=== hunger filed a couple of really minor bugs about it
Tonio_hunger: I would personally hope, but well, that can be complicated cause there is already ubuntu stuff on that point07:01
Tonio_but according to my tests, kpowersave is really interesting07:02
hungerTonio_: That is fine for gnome...07:02
Tonio_maybe for dapper+107:02
Tonio_are they using it actually ?07:02
hungerTonio_: But breaking kubuntu for that is not nice:-(07:02
Tonio_yes07:02
hungerTonio_: Yes. ubuntu-desktop is using it.07:02
Tonio_anyway, we may discuss that at tomorrow's meeting :)07:03
Tonio_not for daper, but could be interesting for dapper+1 maybe07:03
=== hunger wishes kde and gnome could sit down and agree on the hardware issues.
Tonio_and what about ubuntu's gnome07:03
Tonio_is powersave used actually ?07:04
hungerTonio_: I use it (as far as possible in KDE).07:04
hungerTonio_: Worked better in breezy...07:04
Tonio_Ididn't test it on dapper, only breezy ;)07:04
hungerTonio_: dapper's kernel breaks ksysguard's reporting of cpu frequency, etc.07:05
Tonio_argh07:05
Tonio_is that due to .15 version of the kernel, or is that specific to ubuntu ?07:06
hungerTonio_: I did even try to switch to gnome since things work better there... but then I ended up very depressed trying to configure gnome.07:06
hungerTonio_: From what I understand it is an issue with kernels > 2.6.14.07:06
Tonio_it'll be fixed with the next version of kde then07:06
Tonio_we just have to wait07:07
hungerTonio_: ksysguard checks some file in /proc...07:07
hungerTonio_: I do not believe in that yet.07:07
hungerTonio_: Ksysguard is serioulsy lacking love for AGES now.07:07
=== hunger thinks kde would be better of changing it to be a GUI for HAL nowadays.
Tonio_hunger: that'll not be a problem with kde407:09
Tonio_but till then........07:09
hungerTonio_: Yes... KDE4 is the promissed land... :-)07:09
Tonio_hehe07:10
=== hunger is happy if it just sucks less.
hungerTonio_: ... and if they really are going to switch to dbus in favour of dcop then I'll be happy if it does not crash too often.07:11
Tonio_hehe07:13
Tonio_the only problem with kde4 is that it is supposed to be so perfect and developped so quickly that I just wonder "I on earth are they gonna do ???"07:13
Tonio_s/I/how07:13
hungerTonio_: They won't:-)07:14
Tonio_hunger: possible, yes07:14
hungerTonio_: It will be a huge mess, like all mayor version changes.07:14
=== jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has joined #kubuntu-devel
hungerIf dapper somehow manages to get stable till april then I'll stick with that till kde 4.1 (or downgrade to breezy).07:15
Tonio_hunger: I really hope we're wrong, but I think that inevitable07:15
hungerTonio_: I do hope, too... and my curiousity will kill me anyway... I'll probably end up with beta versions of the beast (in spite of what I just said).07:16

hungerjjesse: At the moment I have serious regressions and nothing I am euphoric about.07:18
jjessehunger i really have had no problems except of my own causing :)07:18
hungerjjesse: Things like shutdown causing a hang of the system, suspend broken, etc. make the system hardly useable.07:18
hungerjjesse: I can not exclude that those problems are of my own making either.07:19

Hobbseeack, i see we got the font upgrades...11:05
alleeluka74: curious: your '147' dpi monitor.  What's the width/height in mm ?11:06
luka74will check log...11:09
alleeluka74: no, no.  I'm interested what a ruler shows you11:09
luka74Image Size:  331 x 207 mm11:10
alleeah, and if xorg driver find the same is interesing too :)11:10
luka74That is it (also with ruler)11:10
luka74(I just did not recalled by head)11:10
Hobbseehow does one set that setting in particular?  in xorg.conf?11:10
alleeluka74: so xorg driver and reality match in your case?11:10
luka74Hobbsee: in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc11:11
alleeDisplaySize x-in-mm y-in-mm in section monitor # See my wiki homepage ;)11:11
alleeluka74: NO :)11:11
luka74;-)11:11
Hobbseegotcha11:11
luka74I was just teasing allee11:11
luka74;-)11:11
luka74Hobbsee: allee is right11:11
=== allee admits luka74 successed
luka74yes, but only with fglrx11:12
Hobbseehehe!11:12
Hobbseethe updates keep mucking up my fonts every once in a while, as tonio_ changes them, so i may as well do it properly11:12
luka74"ati" does not detect mt display (cannot make it work), while "radeon" does partially11:12
luka74Breezy did work with "ati" 11:12
=== allee hugs Hobbsee
=== Hobbsee hugs allee back :)
alleeluka74: promis to never cheat with DPI and I hug you too ;)11:13
luka74promise!11:14
tomawidth? height? why not just set a dpi?11:14
luka74Fact is - you still need DPI. 11:14
luka74I have changed it down to 100 to make it look good with default font sizes11:15
luka74I am now scared that Tonio changes will just make my default fonts tiny (at pt will be reduced)11:15
luka74disclaimer: only on very high resolution monitors11:16
alleetoma: please, stop saying this!  It hurts me!11:16
luka74mine is 1920x1200 on 15.4" of 331x207 mm11:16
=== allee fires up pythion to do little dpi math
tomaallee: you are not going to walk in this trap twice in a row, are you?11:17
alleetoma: simply reading hurts, I've no chance 11:18
alleeluka74: sorry, your dpi is really 147 dpi.  I have a 144 dpi dell laptop and reduzing font size worked fine.11:19
luka74allee: true, fglrx/X.org detection work great, only how this DPI is then used later might be an issue11:20
luka74I need to free-up another partition, as I plan to install Ubuntu/GNOME for first time just to see the diff11:21
alleeluka74: well, the default font size with correct dpi is a bit big.  But almost all users used it here (incl. me) for a while and are now happy with it.  Much more relaxing11:21
luka74and hopefully learn something - but it looks like Tonio is getting there11:21
=== crimsun [i=crimsun@pdpc/supporter/silver/crimsun] has joined #kubuntu-devel
alleeluka74: but a bit smaller would be no problem for most people too ;)11:22
luka74allee: I hate that some forms are just to small because of huge font - this is IMHO just ugly11:22
alleeluka74: only one I know is the login window.  Are there more (then layout if broken)11:23
luka74there are plenty of cases that default was just ugly - this is why I always swith to 100 dpi for fonts immedeately11:25
luka74but I am looking forward to test changes to defaults done by Tonio11:26
alleeluka74: afaiu default will now be 96 dpi :(11:26
luka74whatever, I just want it to look better ;-)11:27
Riddellallee: _Sime's script rounds it to something sensible11:27
luka74Riddell: can you define "sensible"?11:27
alleeluka74: when your bored, accept default dpi and use a smaller pt size for fonts  100/147 ~ 2/3  10 pt -> 7 or 6 pt11:27
Riddellrounded to 96 or 120 or larger11:28
luka74allee: the problem with that approach is that this does not change all apps, so it is huge manual work11:28
luka74Riddell: does this mean we will be able to manually set it from GUI too?11:29
=== allee claims that most people _don't know_ that font size they like/use because dpi scales is wrong
robotgeekallee: i am totally lost on font-sizes11:30
luka74allee: I could agree - this would explain why so much fuzz about it11:30
Riddellluka74: not yet11:30
alleeluka74: I know about the problem.  But let's concentrate what's broken and how to best fix it11:30
luka74the fact is also that you have now people with low and high resulution displays 11:31
luka74and low resolution is just nothing bad (until you see high res display)11:31
luka74;-)11:31
alleeluka74: Yes. your high res and a cheap low res monitor (75dpi) are a factor or two.  See my Wiki homepage, how absurd a fix dpi can be11:32

luka74allee: one of reasons for my complete switch from Windows to Kubuntu was that XP sucks in this respect11:33

jshadowHello all11:34
luka74XP does fonts well, but such in screen element size (not to mention resized raster icons)11:34
luka74s/such/suck/11:34
alleeluka74: fwiw:  Using a fixed dpi is what windows used by default :)11:35

jshadowI have a somewhat basic question. I'm working on a plugin for katapult and it compiles but it's not linking right. From what I understand it's an issue with moc. What tool should I be using to generate a makefile that takes care of the moc?11:36
tomajshadow: did you include the moc in the .cpp?11:38
=== Hobbsee looks for her ruler
=== poningru [n=poningru@n128-227-69-90.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #kubuntu-devel
jshadowno, but I'm getting "undefined reference to vtable" errors, and a google search suggested moc, this is my first qt app so I'm a little confused11:41
jshadowI guess what I'm asking is how should I have generated the makefile in the first place, and then maybe I can read up on that tool11:43
tomajshadow: include the moc at the bottom of your cpp: setuptiming.cpp:#include "setuptiming.moc11:43
tomarerun configure11:43
jshadowk, but the standard configure for katapult won't find my plugin, where should I be modifying this?11:44
jshadowright now I'm just using a hand written makefile11:45
tomajshadow: the moc is auto generated, because it is needed for the cpp and so you dont need to add anything to a makefile11:47
=== allee start writing a little script that at the end hopefully visualizes reality and the faked matrix^Wdpi world :)
tomajshadow: but this is more something for #kde-devel i think11:47
jshadowok, well thanks, this gets me in the right direction11:47
Hobbseeallee: where abouts do i set this displaysize?12:00
