mdkedoes anyone know how khelpcenter works?12:49
mdkeespecially about showing localised documents12:50
tomaf1? ;-)12:50
tomamdke: whats the question?12:50
mdkehow does one go about ensuring that khelpcenter shows a localised document?12:50
tomamdke: thats not an easy question12:51
mdketoma, it wasn't intended to be12:51
tomamdke: in general you have to ensure that the index.docbook is localised12:51
tomamdke: but if it is made up from several docbooks, it can happen that you see a partly translated docbook12:52
mdkethe document doesn't have an index.docbook12:52
mdkelemme check a few things12:53
tomayou mean that there is a language which has translated docbooks, but no index.docbook?12:53
tomathat means you can throw away the rest, you can not use it in that case12:54
mdkehang on12:54
mdketoma, have a look at /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu12:54
mdkeyou see there are some documents in there?12:54
mdkeI've got some translations of those, and I wanna know how to make them show up in khelpcenter12:54
mdkeis putting them in /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/cc/kubuntu sufficient?12:55
tomaif you have translated docbooks yes12:56
mdkewhat are "docbooks"?12:56
tomai'm familiar with kde's system, which uses a conversion to pot's.12:56
tomabut i guess that does not apply here12:56
mdkewhat did you mean by "docbooks"?12:57
tomaif the file is in docbook format12:57
mdkebut the english version of the file isn't in docbook format, it's html.12:58
tomatomlinux /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/kquickguide$ ls12:58
tomaindex.cache.bz2  index.docbook12:58
mdkegah12:58
mdkeare you using breezy?12:58
tomano12:59
mdkewhat version of kubuntu-docs have you got?12:59
toma6.04-512:59
mdketoma, ok. Can you do a "ls" on some more of those directories and show me the output?01:00
mdkei haven't got a kubuntu system here01:00
mdketry serverguide01:01
tomaok, packagingguide and serverguide are html01:01
tomai cant help you there, but I would guess the system is the same01:02
mdkeI'll just have to try it01:02
tomai'll give it a try as well then01:02
mdkethanks for your help. Any idea if Riddell is going to be around this weekend?01:02
OdyXmdke: he takes some free time... but will try to get a wifi access with his girlfriend's laptop I heard.01:03
mdkeok, thanks. I'll mail him01:04

mdkeRiddell, I've got 3 relatively important things to tell you about for kubuntu-docs, shall I collect them in a mail, or can I pass them on here? They don't require any immediate attention, but will eventually need to be sorted01:09

_arthurbHi, there is a show stopper in kwifimanager from dapper, which is in the default install... it really is a big problem, it is so badly broken there is almost no point in providing the package03:17
_arthurbthe good news is there is on bugs.kde.org a patch for the bug03:18
Hobbsee_arthurb: oh is there? bug #?03:18
_arthurbthe bad news is that it's not applied  in dapper03:18
_arthurbhttp://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12376503:18
UbugtuKDE bug 123765 in general "Scanning isn't consistant with `sudo iwlist eth1 scanning`, even when launched as root." [Normal,Assigned]  03:18
Hobbsee_arthurb: this still happens on kde 3.5.2?03:19
_arthurbhappens on tonight's update03:19
Hobbsee_arthurb: and does that patch fully work?03:21
_arthurbI couldn't apply it's patch to the source, but looking at the code in the patch I think it does03:21
Hobbseemmm okay03:21
_arthurbit's a fairly simple modification of the code, maybe two or three lines03:22
_arthurbso merging it with the standard kubuntu patch shouldn't be a big issue03:22
Hobbseetrue03:22
=== Hobbsee will mention to the other devs...
_arthurbthanks03:22
=== Hobbsee doesnt trust kwifimanager anyway :P
_arthurbbtw there are many usability issues with this package03:23
=== _arthurb uses iwconfig anyway :)
Hobbsee_arthurb: try knetworkmanager03:23
_arthurbwell I have a bug with that one too :)03:23
Hobbseei know...i'm subscribed to the kdenetwork, so i see kwifimanager bugs - it's kinda depreciated anyway03:23
Hobbseewhat's the knm bug?03:23
_arthurbyeah the code is so ugly03:24
Hobbseealso, i hear that wlassistant is quite good03:24
_arthurbnope a networkmanager bug03:24
_arthurbit doesn't want to start03:24
Hobbseesudo NetworkManager --no-daemon?03:24
_arthurblong trace :)03:25
Hobbseehmmm...filed a bug for it yet? networkmanager is not my area...and most kubuntu people dont hack into it...03:26
Hobbsee_awayback in a bit03:26
_arthurbin short : NetworkManager: 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()03:26

UbugtuKDE bug 120117 in Audio/Video Plugin "crash when opening  Setting->Configure (Due to Webcam)" [Crash,New]  03:39
_arthurbthere is a patch too for that one and its a must fix for dapper03:40
Hobbsee_awayArthurB: there's a patch for that?  awesome!03:46
=== Hobbsee will definetly whine to get that one in :P
Hobbseeriddell's asleep...and he's the one that controls all of that...03:47
ArthurBur I mean... It gives me the chill that you have to whine to get that kind of patch in03:51
crimsuneh? there's raphink, too, no?03:51
ArthurBI mean kubuntu would even consider releasing without a working kopete ???03:51
Hobbseeoh yeah03:51
Hobbseesorry, i'm freezing here, so my brain's not working too well :P03:52
ArthurBok about that networkmanager thing I said03:52
HobbseeArthurB: well, what i more meant was that i'm pretty new to this, especially to patching, and wouldnt want to do it wrong...03:52
ArthurBI just hadn't commented my  interfaces in the conf03:52
Hobbseeotherwise, i'd patch it now, and ask raphink to upload it...but i'm not really confident enough to do that :P03:53
ArthurBbut... knetworkmanager IS GREAT! Whao, I hope it the default for dapper03:53
=== haggai [n=halls@i-83-67-59-194.freedom2surf.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
ArthurBI can help you patch it for your own use03:53
Hobbseehehe yeah, me too.  it's got a main inclusion request, so hopefully that will be accepted03:53
ArthurBkwifimanager is such a piece of poopoo crap03:53
Hobbseeheh i know - wonder if we can delete it...03:54
Hobbseereplace it with wlassistant, if necessary03:54
ArthurB( this is from someone who read the code )03:54
ArthurBit was a shame compared to Os X or windows03:54
ArthurBI mean I don't blame the guy who wrote kwifimanager... I was just surprised that this was the state of the art for kde wifi connectivityt03:55
Hobbseehehe yeah03:55
jdongArthurB: kwifimanager is old technology04:04
jdongit's been around for a looooong time04:04
ArthurBI know04:04
jdongit served its purpose04:04
jdongit needs to step aside for dbus/hal :)04:04
ArthurBwaiting for solid04:04
jdongthe only downside of the network manager series is when nobody is logged in...04:04
jdongif you have a WEP/WPA network, it can't log onto it without user interaction04:05
ArthurByep.. but anyway this is a desktop computer oriented distro so04:05
jdongkind of annoying for laptops that double up to do some minor server work04:05
ArthurBif you really want that kind of stuff no one prevents you from running a script dameon using iwtools04:05
jdongright04:05
jdongbut that's overly elaborate04:05
jdongand not fitting with the whole HAL/DBus/ project utopia theme04:06
jdong:)04:06
ArthurBhum where are live there are ~16 wireless networks available04:06
jdongyeah, I got 8 around me04:06
ArthurBthey often go offline and online.. reception varies04:06
ArthurBnow04:06
jdongand when they're busy, it's just a jam fest04:06
ArthurBHOW DO I TELL knetwork manager to stfu and not tell me that such or such network appeared disappeared04:06
jdongI hop channels on my homemade router04:06
ArthurBI guess I'll patch it for my use... but it could definitely use a silent toggle04:08

OdyXvi is very good for things like sources.list and xorg.conf06:07
\shI'm even get stucked with mcedit :( or pico...I'm used to vi and emacs06:07

OdyXvi is very unintuitive though06:08
\shOdyX: for beginners yes....for advanced users it's quite fast for doing day to day tasks06:08
_arthurbIf a beginner wants to edit a configuration file for example, it will seem natural to him to open it from konqueror using kate06:08

OdyX_Riddell: first of all... I cannot go sudo mode in Printer config06:20
Riddellyou shouldn't need that06:20
crimsun\sh: I hope to address that the lack-of-a-gui-to-set-default-card in kde system settings this coming week06:21
OdyX_OK... Though at the end of adding my HP Deskjet 600... It said me something like "unable to load hplip - You hav no rights therefor, try to ..."06:21
crimsun\sh: right now I have a rather pressing kernel->sound issue to resolve06:21
\shcrimsun: I'm just hacking on a small pykde app for solving this issue locally for the user, changing .asoundrc06:22
\shcrimsun: but it won't help anyone, when you have to restart the kde session to grab the new default sound card06:22
crimsun\sh: ok, but please don't change ~/.asoundrc . That's always user-specific. Change ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf instead. I presume you're calling asoundconf?06:23
OdyXRiddell: so?06:23
\shcrimsun: the docs on alsa homepage, tells me, that the applicaiton which is using alsa should re-read every time it's started the /etc/asound.conf06:25
\shwhich again includes .asoundrc 06:25
crimsun\sh: yes, that's an amarok engine issue, but Ubuntu convention (thanks to Martin Pitt) is to use ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf in Dapper.06:26
\shcrimsun: any docs on it?06:26
crimsunman asoundconf06:26
crimsunthe only circumstances in which we touch ~/.asoundrc are: 1) ~/.asoundrc doesn't exist, in which case the markers are inserted and ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf included; 2) converting from older set-default-soundcard (in Breezy) syntax06:27
\shfor this you have to include .asoundrc.asoundconf from your local .asoundrc 06:28
crimsunyes, just typed that06:28
crimsunif ~/.asoundrc already exists and does not contain those markers, asoundconf will refuse to modify ~/.asoundrc*06:29
\shyeah...but it won't help amarok, without restarting the kde session, and that's the bug actually...the other thing is not a problem at all to implement (calling asoundconf)06:29
crimsununfortunately that's a larger infrastructure issue we can't really work around...06:29
crimsunwell...we could forcibly reload the alsa modules, but that's highly intrusive06:30
\shdidn't help me 06:30
\sheven changing the settings in .xine/config didn't help...06:30
RiddellOdyX: hmm, a new error to me06:31
RiddellOdyX: i hplip installed and started?06:31
crimsun\sh: before you reloaded, did you change the index parameters per module?06:31
OdyXRiddell: well... default, huh ?06:31
Riddellsudo /etc/init.d/hplip stop; sudo /etc/init.d/hplip start06:31
\shcrimsun: when I reboot the laptop, with plugged in usb headset, my headset is card 0, and the on board sound hw is card 1....default in my local .asoundrc is card 0, 06:32
OdyXRiddell: OK, OK. I try again (the printer is near the routeur....06:32
crimsun\sh: are you using index or name syntax?06:32
crimsun\sh: under Dapper it's far easier to use name syntax (asoundconf list)06:33
\shpcm.!default {06:33
\shtype hw06:33
\shcard 106:33
\sh}06:33
\shctl.!default {06:33
\shtype hw06:33
\shcard 106:33
\sh}06:33
\shI swicthed the 0 into 1 :) and vice versa06:33
crimsunasoundconf just needs to set two parameters, !defaults.pcm.card and !defaults.ctl.card06:34
\shwhich is just the same, but other format what I wrote..06:35
\shwhich shouldn't make any difference...06:35
crimsunright06:36
crimsunif k apps aren't picking up, then something's buggered in them...06:37
crimsunthe gnome analogy is gconfaudiosink not being dynamic; the state of devices is generated only once at login06:38
crimsun(thus hotplugging additional sound devices doesn't allow on-the-fly switching)06:38

\shs/mime is not supported anyways07:23

\shit's working with a plain encrypted text right?07:26
OdyX\sh: wait... Trying.07:27

OdyXI'm tryiing... But I cannot send as Kmail WANTS to encrypt it...07:28
\shno...uncheck the encrypt button :)07:28
OdyX\sh: was unchecked.. 07:29
OdyX\sh: but my entry in kabc says "always encrypt"07:29
OdyX\sh: changed...07:29
raphink\sh: did you forward your patch for knetworkmanager upstream?07:30
\shraphink: no ... I need to check where I can save the state of the settings first...looks like that knetworkmanager doesn't use a global kconfig instance07:31
raphinkah07:31
raphink\sh: I tested and uploaded your patch07:31
\shraphink: cool :) thx :)07:32
\shwell..knetworkmanager is not a nice piece of software, not good for reading :)07:33
OdyX\sh: that's weird.07:34
OdyX\sh: speaking of Kmail.07:34
\shOdyX: outcome of the test? :)07:34
\shit asked you for the passphrase right?07:34
OdyXIt worked... Well.. I signed and then encrypted... Kmail only checked encryption...07:34
OdyXBut yep. It asked.07:34
\shand the source of the email is not a mime message, just a plain text with ascii armored gpg encrypted text07:35
OdyXYep. That's bad bad bad.07:35
\shyes...it's a broken plugin...and I think it's upstream problem07:36
OdyX\sh: So what should we do? Make end-user install/use gpg-agent or force to inline PGP or correct the plugin ?07:36
OdyX\sh: How do YOU decrypt mails ?07:38
OdyXgpg-agent ?07:38
\shwell, I receive most of the time plain encrypted mails without mime..that's why I never bothered :)07:38
\shbut for this, I just copy and paste the gpg stuff into gpg -d < EOF \ <paste code here>07:39
\shbut to be honest, I would like to fix the plugin07:39
\shit's a serious regression of functionality07:39

OdyX\sh: Ubuntu motu way ??'07:41
OdyX\sh on bugs.kde.org, they all say to use gpg-agent..07:42
\shthey are lazy people07:43
OdyX\sh: seems globally KDE guys Expect you to use gpg-agent and nothing else for all the MIME stuff07:44
\shit's the wrong way (tm)07:44
OdyXYep... But it visibly needs a lot of work on KDE side.07:45
\shyes some nasty mime handling07:45

OdyX\sh: is there any possiblity to CREATE WIFI LANS with (K)NetworkManager ?08:12
\shto create?08:12
\shyoumean set up ad-hoc wifi structures or letting ubuntu/kubuntu be an AP?08:13

OdyXvi /etc/network/interfaces then ?08:14
\shfor AP infrastructures there are other packages much better...actually it's more a server service08:15
\shad-hoc settings I'm doing with iwconfig :)08:15
OdyXYeah... So do I too.. but adhoc should be doable with k-nm, no ?08:16
\shno..it's only for connection establishing08:18
\shyou can't change the mode of your card (ad-hoc, ap, or repeater)08:18

Riddellyou can get to it from kwifimanger if you really want10:39

httpdssi started to explore python after that comment on the wiki, and i thank the person who wrote that on the wiki :P gr8 language .. my next step is c++ 11:22
RiddellI really miss the static typing of c++, it helps stop mistakes and aids in documenting the program11:23
Riddellbut that's about all I miss11:23
_SimeI've been doing more Java at work, and the static typing makes everything feel like development  is going in slow motion.11:24
_Simeit costs so much time and effort to keep the typing system happy.11:24
Riddellwhy?11:26
RiddellI really don't see the advantage in dynamic typing11:26
Riddellit means you don't have a clue what you're ment to be passing into a method11:26
_Simebecause spelling out all of my types for the compilier inside my methods is a real pain in the ass.11:30
_SimeTypes for method signatures make a lot more sense.11:30
Riddellyes, that's the worst bit11:30
_Simebut having to deal with it all on every line of code that you write is really annoying.11:30
_Simeit is not so much that static typing is a bad idea. It is just that C++/Java style static typing is so laborious and time consuming.11:31
RiddellI never found it a problem11:31
_Simeit costs too much.11:31
Riddelland I've never had a need where I want a variable to be one type at the start then change to another type11:32
_Simemaybe type-inferrence is the way to go.11:32
=== httpdss [n=kenny@r201-217-187-100.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy] has joined #kubuntu-devel
_Simetrue, you usually don't do that. It is all the declaring and declaring and declaring that bugs me.11:32
Riddellthe weird things KDevelop does to infer the types in Javascript so it can give you variable completion is insane11:32
RiddellFoo foo = new Foo11:33
_Simeyou should have a look at the language Boo, and also what MS are adding to the next version of C#.11:33
Riddellnext version eh?11:33
_Simehttp://www.codepost.org/view/12611:35

Riddellthat costpost article is interesting, but the   var b; b = 100 is the problem11:45
Riddellthe syntax is inconsistent if you want to predeclaire your variable11:45
Riddellor if you want your variable to be a superclass if what you happen to initially assign it11:46
=== Lure_ [n=lure@clj46-234.dial-up.arnes.si] has joined #kubuntu-devel
_Simeyou still have the option of explicity specifying the type.11:59
_Simeoh, I see what you mean about var b;b=100;. That is really just a limitation of MS's spec/implementation.12:00
_Simeyou could make your compilier also handle var b;b=100;12:00
