danimoimbrandon: hey, are you up dude?03:41
imbrandonyup03:41
imbrandonwasup?03:42
danimoimbrandon: did you read my blog?03:42
imbrandonnot in a little bit03:42
danimoimbrandon: about the password lineedit?03:42
imbrandonnope got a direct link>? ( i'm at work )03:42
danimoimbrandon: oh, sure03:42
danimoimbrandon: how do I rebuild a package btw?03:42
danimoimbrandon: dpkg-buildpackage odesn't work03:43
imbrandonapt-get source -b <packagename>03:43
danimoimbrandon: I fetched and patched those03:43
danimoah, -b!03:43
imbrandonahh then just "debuild" if you get errors then "apt-get build-dep <packacge>" first03:44
danimo /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage: 212: debian/rules: Permission denied03:44
imbrandonif you have a patched version03:44
danimohttp://daniel.molkentin.de/blog/index.php?/archives/59-Password-shadowing-Pimp-My-Plastique.html03:44
imbrandonadd sudo03:44
danimoimbrandon: isn't there fakeroot for that?03:44
imbrandonsure if the file perms are set correctly on the source03:46
imbrandonyou probablty "sudo apt-get source blah" instaead of "apt-get source blah"03:46
imbrandonthus the need for it later also03:47
danimoimbrandon: seems like there is no rules directory03:47
imbrandonrules isnt a directory03:47
imbrandonits a file in the debian/ dir03:47
danimoyeah03:47
danimosorry03:47
imbrandon:)03:47
danimoit's there03:47
danimoand I can access it as user03:48
imbrandonright but can you execute it as a user03:48
imbrandonits a makefile03:48
danimoah03:48
danimoimbrandon: yes, make -f debian/rules works03:49
danimohmm, but returns with an error03:49
imbrandonhumm, you got me then03:49
imbrandonnice post, is that patch for the kde3 version >?03:49
danimoimbrandon: damn03:49
danimoimbrandon: nope, but i just created one :)03:49
danimoimbrandon: I want to test it on the stable binaries before pushing it into the branch03:50
danimoimbrandon: it will make kdm look _a lot_ nicer03:50
danimoimbrandon: plus i patched it into kstyle, so all KDE styles can profit from it03:50
imbrandoncool03:50
danimoimbrandon: but it's all no help if I cannot build the damn thing03:50
danimoimbrandon: I could send you the patch of course03:51
danimoimbrandon: if that is of any use03:51
imbrandon:)03:51
imbrandonwell you should be able to build just fine with sudo, but how ever you want to do it :)03:51
imbrandoni can build it in a clean pbuilder, erm no i cant not for another ~3 hours03:51
imbrandonheh03:51
danimoimbrandon: well, after I start the build, I'll go to sleep anyway03:52
danimopbuilder, yeah right03:52
imbrandon( some reason i cant ssh into my build box atm )03:52
danimoI remember that I used pbuilder the last time03:52
imbrandonyea , thats rthe best way03:53
imbrandonthe*03:53
danimoimbrandon: I just deleted the kdelibs-3.5.5 dir and will unpack it from source03:53
danimoimbrandon: can I then just move the patch into the patch dir and rebuild?03:54
imbrandonyup03:54
danimocool, trying that now03:54
imbrandonbrb one sec, gonna grab a cup of coffee03:54
imbrandonre03:58
danimoimbrandon: how do I build with pbuilder?03:59
imbrandon"pbuilder build file.dsc"03:59
danimoimbrandon: so far I untarred the orig sources and applied the patches03:59
imbrandonahh ok03:59
imbrandonwell03:59
imbrandonapplied them how, did you run "debuild -S -sa" afterwords03:59
imbrandon?03:59
danimoimbrandon: don't I have to add my patch to the debian patches first?03:59
imbrandonyes well04:00
imbrandonok here is what you do from start to finish04:00
danimoimbrandon: I just added a kubuntu_63_password_noasterisk.diff to the patches dir04:00
imbrandonapt-get source <package>04:00
=== danimo listens up
imbrandoncd <package>04:00
danimocheck04:00
danimocheck04:00
imbrandonadd the diff to debian/patches04:00
danimoimbrandon: first apply the patch I assume?04:01
imbrandonno04:01
danimoimbrandon: the debian diff, that is04:01
imbrandonno04:01
imbrandonjust add it to the directory04:01
imbrandondont applie it04:01
danimobut the patches dir does not exists before04:01
imbrandonerr apply it04:01
danimoimbrandon: I didn't apply the patch itself04:01
danimobut I had to apply kdelibs_3.5.5-0ubuntu3.diff.gz04:01
imbrandonerr no apt-get source <package> should have done that for you04:02
imbrandonand there is a patches dir in kdelibs04:02
imbrandonthats what i'm saying i think you tried to untar something by hand04:02
danimoimbrandon: maybe04:02
imbrandonand you shouldent do that04:02
danimoimbrandon: I deleted the source dir04:02
danimobut anyway04:02
imbrandonok here get your diff and put it somewhere safe04:02
danimoapplying the diff manually should get me there, too, right?04:03
imbrandonthen rm -rf what you have already done and make a new working temp dir we can work in thats empty04:03
imbrandonno04:03
danimoah04:03
imbrandonit qwill mess the build system up04:03
imbrandonok so you have the diff in like ~/04:03
imbrandonand make a ~/working04:03
imbrandonthat is empty04:04
danimook04:04
imbrandoncd ~/working04:04
imbrandonapt-get source kdelibs04:04
danimoyes, I have done that just now04:04
imbrandonit should apply the diff.gz and unzip the source dir for you04:04
imbrandonso DONT do that manualy04:04
danimonow it applies the diffs automatically04:04
danimook04:04
imbrandonright04:04
danimoworks now04:04
imbrandonok so now cd to the unpacked dir it made04:05
imbrandonand add your diff to the debian/patches04:05
danimodone04:05
imbrandonthen run "debuild -S -sa -us -uc" it will make a new *.dsc for you04:05
imbrandononce thats done ( only takes a few seconds )04:05
imbrandonlemme know04:05
danimook04:06
imbrandonok now "cd .."04:06
danimowait, it's still working04:06
imbrandonahh ok04:06
danimoimbrandon: still creating the diff04:07
imbrandonyea , on large packages it can take like 30 to 45 seconds or so04:07
imbrandondepends on the speed of you comp04:07
danimoimbrandon: I am beyond that. but then again it's building on a sincle core centrino04:07
imbrandonahh :) yea give it a some extra time :)04:08
danimosingle even04:08
danimodpkg-source: warning: file debian/patches/kubuntu_48_cups12_cupsdconf.diff has no final newline (either original or modified version)04:08
danimoheh04:09
imbrandonno biggie04:09
danimoright04:09
danimojust wondering why this is actually worth a warning04:09
danimook, worked04:09
imbrandondebian packageing is anail at times :)04:09
danimoimbrandon: done04:09
imbrandonok now04:09
imbrandoncd ..04:09
danimodone04:09
imbrandonthen "pbuilder build the_new_.dsc"04:09
danimopbuilder kdelibs*..dsc04:10
imbrandonpbuilder build ...... but yea04:10
danimoimbrandon: permission denied04:10
imbrandonsudo pbuilder build ....04:10
danimoimbrandon: sude doesn't work either04:10
danimoE: failed to find /var/cache/pbuilder/base.tgz, have you done <pbuilder create> to create your base tarball yet?04:11
imbrandonahhh yes you need to run pbuilder create if you havent before04:11
danimook04:11
imbrandonwhen thats done then do it again04:11
imbrandon( just the last part )04:11
danimowhy do I expect another heap of wasted disk space after that?04:12
danimo:\04:12
imbrandonnah only like 150mb04:12
imbrandonor so04:12
danimoI only have like 870MB spare04:12
danimoimbrandon: but I'm glad my provider upgraded me to 3MBit/s :)04:12
imbrandonheh you can delete it once your done ( jusy rm /var/pbuilder/base.tgz04:12
imbrandon)04:12
danimoso the packages come here quickly04:13
imbrandon:)04:13
danimoimbrandon: thanks for the help man04:13
danimoimbrandon: I think I get along from here04:13
danimoactually I should really go to bed now04:13
danimoit's past 4 am here04:13
imbrandonnp04:13
imbrandon:)04:13
imbrandonrember too it will put the resulting *.deb files in /var/pbuilder/result/04:14
imbrandonalot of people forget that04:14
imbrandonbut anyhow, sleep well04:14
danimowell, I'll wait until I can start the process04:15
danimobut thanks for the hint04:15
danimo -> extracting base tarball [/var/cache/pbuilder/base.tgz] 04:25
danimo -> creating local configuration04:25
danimohostname: Unknown host04:25
danimoimbrandon: any idea what that means?04:25
imbrandonno idea04:31
imbrandonit can probably be safely ignored04:31

manchickenI'm looking for some small tasks that need doing.05:10
manchickenI'm not looking to become the world's greatest contributor, but I'm interested in helping as much as I can.05:10
nixternalhow come lsb-release shows Ubuntu and not Kubuntu05:10
nixternalwasabi manchicken !05:10
manchickenNot much homie.05:11
nixternali was in tinley all day for my nephews bday party..im exhausted05:12
manchickenFun.05:12
manchickenI tossed kubuntu on my other box today.05:13
nixternalare you up on Debian packaging at all? I know there are a bunch of merges yet to be done05:13
nixternalyay kubuntu05:13
nixternalim gonna install it on a few machines tomorrow if possible05:13
nixternalas for the coding stuff that needs to be done, probably get in touch with Riddell (who is +01:00 i believe)05:14
manchickenI just want a few things to look into.05:17
manchickenAre you switching to fawn?05:19
manchickenOr is it Feisty?05:22
nixternalfeisty05:24
nixternalThe Feisty Fawn to be exact05:24
nixternal7.04, which is due 04=April and the 7=200705:25
manchickenTo upgrade, do you just change edgy to fawn in sources.list?05:25
abattoirmanchicken: feisty(not fawn), the adjective is generally what is used05:26
abattoirhi nixternal05:26
manchickenRighto.05:27
abattoirmanchicken: i assume you know the risks that are associated w/ running a dev. release...05:27
nixternalhiya abattoir05:27
manchickenabattoir: Yup.05:27
abattoirok then :)05:27
manchickenI'm hoping I can help without moving in that direction.05:28
manchickenOr I could just dual-boot.05:28
nixternalabattoir: this guy is part of a team who wrote their own file system in a day at someones house ;) nerds i tell ya05:28
=== manchicken wasn't part of that team...
abattoirhaha05:28
=== abattoir wonders which FS
nixternalwell, it was the Chicago GLUG05:28
=== manchicken has contributed to kopete though.
manchickenYeah, it was.05:29
nixternali quit using Kopete for Bitlbee05:29
manchickenThat's unfortunate ;)05:29
nixternalheh05:29
nixternalso i ahve seen...there is a new theme on kde-look that is pretty sharp05:29
manchickenI contributed a VERY little bit to gaim and a small bug-fix to qt4.05:30
nixternalim waiting for my qt4 book now05:30
manchickenI'm just looking for something very small to do.05:30
nixternali will take my new python book to bed tonight and start reading05:30
nixternalotherwise i will show up to a Chicago GLUG event and look stupid..which i am sure will happen anyways05:30
manchickenheh05:31
=== manchicken doesn't do python much.
nixternali gotta get back into coding..i quit coding totally in 1998 pretty much..i did some vb and very little c++ for control automation system05:31
manchickenI prefer Perl above all of the procedural scripting languages.05:31
manchickenPerl-Qt is letting me down though :(05:32
manchickenIt doesn't have all of the network facilities implemented.05:32
nixternalshoot, i have a hard enough time working some stupid sed scripts05:32
manchickenWuss ;)05:32
manchickenheh05:33
nixternalhehe05:33
manchickenEither way, your contribution of CDs has been quite influential.05:33
nixternalwhy thank you05:33
manchickenNo, thank you.05:33
manchicken^_^05:33
nixternali have some more to give out tomorrow..hopefully installing some Kubuntu05:33
manchickenMy wife is digging Kubuntu over SuSE.  I'm glad.05:33
nixternallast event I installed Kubuntu on some old ladies computer05:33
manchickenI didn't want to have to manually maintain a SuSE build when they go into GPL3 violation.05:34
nixternali ta a linux class, and they are all in their 50's and up05:34
manchickenI honestly think Kubuntu is to a point where folks could just install it and go.05:34
nixternali have yet to run into a problem with it05:34
manchickenI had the machine completely rebuilt after 1.5 hours.05:34
nixternalexcept last night, some guy had a system with a kubuntu dvd and it didn't install the ati drivers correctly05:35
manchickenIt only took that long because I had to manage config changes with the backups.05:35
nixternalso i did the no-no and set him up with binaries05:35
manchickenI won't touch the proprietary drivers.05:35
nixternalah well..i need to crash..got the lug event at CoD tomorrow early..plus im exhausted05:37
manchickenWhat now?05:37
manchickenThere's an event tomorrow?05:37
nixternalso keep an eye out for Riddell, Lure, tonio, Toma, seele, seele, since they are all KDE people..maybe they can hook you up05:37
nixternalya05:37
nixternal10am to 4pm - CoD SRC 154405:37
manchickenWhat is that?05:38
manchicken(nobody tells me this stuff)05:38
nixternalCollege of DuPage LUG, Linux Fest05:39
manchickenAh.  Fun.05:39
manchickenMy wife's downstate tomorrow.05:40
manchickenI'll probably spend the whole afternoon at GameCrazy.05:40

imbrandon( and you forgot me in your list homie, /me feels leftout ) just kidding05:48

manchickenI know I've seen you somewhere else before.05:50
crimsunhe's on the blame list, yes.05:50
manchickenFun.05:50
imbrandoni'm a kubuntu core dev ( i mostly mess with konversation , amarok and mythtv but i touch alot of stuff )05:50
imbrandonhehe05:50
manchickenimbrandon: I'm looking to get into kubuntu development.05:51
imbrandonyea "the blame list"05:51
imbrandonmanchicken: rockin05:51
manchickenimbrandon: Hopefully something that doesn't require some insanely complicated build environment.05:51
manchickenIIRC, you helped point me towards the SMS port for kopete405:51
manchickenheh05:51
imbrandonhahaha kde and != insane build environment in the same sentance05:51
manchickenThat was a blur.05:51
imbrandonpossibly heh05:51
manchickenWell, the tricky part of kopete development is that I had to set up qt4, dbus, and kde4.05:52
imbrandonthats easy in edgy and feisty now :L)05:52
imbrandons/L//05:52
manchickenIt took me longer to set up the build environment than it did to implement my meta-contact addition and SMS port.05:52
imbrandonheh yea05:52
manchickenWell, and I couldn't really use my additions either.05:53
imbrandonsetting up my dev machines often takes me days to get all the tweaking right on a freash build05:53
imbrandonfresh*05:53
manchickenIt'd be nice to actually get to add my itch-scratching changes into a form I can use daily.05:53
imbrandonbut the good part it it only has to be done once :)05:53
imbrandonsure05:54
manchickenSo is there any package that needs a hand that you are aware of that would meet my criteria?05:54
imbrandonhrm for the moment merges are toping the list of "needs to be done" and its good experince05:54
manchickenI can do merges.05:54
imbrandonand often not terribly hard05:54
manchickenHey, I asked to help, I didn't ask to be a rock-star ^_^05:55
imbrandonmanchicken: you know where the merges page is ?05:55
imbrandonheh05:55
manchickenIs it in the topic?05:55
imbrandonyup, i would grab something from the universe list that tickles you and try ti out05:55
imbrandonme and crimsun and the others in #ubuntu-motu and here will be glad to help/point you in the right directions'05:56
manchickenI would like to help with main as much as possible.05:56
manchickenIt seems like there's a lot of support in universe.05:56
imbrandonhonestly both sides need love in the kde house05:56
manchickenThen I'll see if there's a KDE thing that looks like fun.05:56
manchickenI'm going to stick to KDE stuff.05:57
manchickenSince I'm familiar with the guts.05:57
imbrandonbut yea it was only a sugestion feel free to grab a main package too, just you have to be more carefull with those that no one else is working on it already05:57

manchickenWell, I've got merge-o-matic, but everything's taken.06:41
JucatoHobbsee!!!!!06:41
Hobbseehey Jucato!06:41
Hobbseemanchicken: yes, seems to be broken.  is superkaramba/karamba up to date?06:41
manchickenI'm just looking for a bunch of small tasks to satisfy my desire for application of ADD in programming form.06:42
manchickenIt's in kdeutils, right?06:42
manchickentonio@ubuntu.com did that merge, it's green.06:42
Hobbseeoh right, so it is the latest, or needs more merging?06:43
manchickenIf green means up to date, then it's latest.06:44
Hobbseeit's a measure of importance on mom - if it's the latest, it's not there06:44
manchickenAh.06:45
manchickenSo should I email tonio before trying to do anything on it?06:45
Hobbseehe's not here - just do it06:46
manchickenIs there an RTFM for how merges are done?06:47
manchickenAnd are these against the edgy or feisty repo?06:48
Hobbseefeisty06:48
manchicken(I'm guessing we're merging the core project latest stable with the repo)06:48
Hobbseethere's the REPORT there06:48
=== Hobbsee tries to decipher that
Hobbseewe're merging debian sid with the development version of ubuntu, ie feisty06:49
manchickenAh.06:49
manchickenSo I just grab the source deb and spend some quality time in ediff?06:49
manchickendebs*06:49
=== Hobbsee cant see superkaramba on that list
Hobbseeah, no, it's not in kdeutils - its' a separate package06:51
Hobbseeoh wait, it's there too?06:51
manchickenIs feisty too terribly unstable, or should I just work against feisty independently?06:51
Hobbseeyou need to work on feisty, not edgy, all the time anyway06:51
Hobbseehowever, you dont exactly need to run it to build things for it06:51
manchickenWell I need a stable environment.06:52
Hobbseecheck out !pbuilder for how to do that06:52
manchickenIs feisty stable enough for regular use?06:52
Hobbseerun a feisty pbuilder for edgy06:52
Hobbseenot really06:52
Hobbseewell ,i found it wouldnt boot on tuesday, while i was away06:52
manchickenHmm...06:52
manchickenHow would you recommend I do this then?06:52
Hobbseeyou want to run a pbuilder06:52
manchickenxen?06:53
Hobbsee!pbuilder06:53
ubotupbuilder is a system to easily build packages in a clean chroot environment. To get started with PBuilder, see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto06:53
manchickenInteresting.06:53
Hobbseevmware server also seems to run nicely, if you wanted to use the whole environment06:53
Hobbseevery - you can have multiple ones :)06:53
manchickenI'd prefer not to run vmware if I can get away with it.06:53
Hobbseejust use a pbuilder then06:53
Hobbseeor dual boot06:53
=== Hobbsee tripple boots, incidently
=== manchicken installs pbuilder.
Hobbsee:)06:55
manchickenWhat is pbuilder then?06:55
manchickenOoh, jails like?06:55
manchickenThat's neat.06:55
Hobbseeyep06:56
manchickenSo it really is jails-like?06:56
manchickenSo I could totally make a jail for kde4, too?06:56
Hobbseeyeah, it's a full system06:56
Hobbseeah....yeah, i guess...ish06:57
manchickenThat's so insanely cool.06:57
Hobbseeyou have to add extra bits to be able to run GUI programs out of the chroot though06:57
manchickenDoes that wiki cover it?06:58
Hobbseenot currently06:58
=== Hobbsee pokes nixternal to rectify that
manchickenHe went to bed.06:59

manchickenGroovy.06:59
Hobbseewhat type of things can you program?06:59

manchickenI don't know if it works (I don't have any SMS accounts) but it compiled and linked and didn't crash ^_^07:01
nixternali forgot to turn the speakers off, i heard BEEP, BEEP, BEEP07:01
manchickenheh07:01
crimsunwell, there are a couple dozen debdiffs that keep beeping nixternal07:01
manchickenheh07:02
nixternaloooh07:02
crimsunoh wait, are those the couple dozen that I had to review? ;)07:02
nixternalhahaha07:02
manchickenNo, I don't use kopete for irc ;)07:02
=== manchicken uses konversation.
manchicken(proudly)07:02
Hobbseehaha, no, kopete sucks for irc07:02
nixternalIRSSI for IRC07:02
Hobbseemanchicken: you could always add the support for /me in kopete, as it is in konversation, xchat, gaim, etc07:02
manchickenI like konversation.07:02
Hobbseekonversation++07:02
Hobbseeit sucks less than all the other clients :P07:02
nixternalKonversation is nice. probably my favorite GUI client07:03
manchickenI actually like konversation.07:03
=== Hobbsee does too
manchickenI can't say that for any of the other clients.07:03
nixternalSuperkaramba is fun07:03
manchickenYeah.07:03
nixternali have tweaked my own little System Monitor widget07:03
Hobbseei mean, it's scripting kinda sucks, as it's so different, so it's rather annoying for channels like #ubuntu with kicking spammers....but otherwise it's good :)07:04
manchickenIt could use a Perl plugin.07:04
manchicken^_^07:04
Hobbseemy trouble is that it doesnt use chanserv.py which is an xchat script :P07:04

=== Hobbsee isnt sure how she got the bad kernel image that caused her system not to boot
nixternalit's better than the blinking lights that chase each other and install viruses, like the ones on Windows ;p07:08
nixternalHobbsee: i have 7.04 on the other box, not my main work box07:08
nixternalnoooo, not ready especially when they break udev once a week07:08
Hobbseeahh07:08
Hobbseehaha07:08
=== manchicken pbuilder's feisty.
nixternali used the pbuilder wiki page and have a pbuilder environment now for dapper, edgy, feisty, and i will do an unstable as well when i get some time07:09
manchickenHow do you actually use pbuilder?07:09
manchickenJust ssh into an image or something?07:09
nixternalpbuilder build *.dsc07:09
nixternalwhat all it does is still beyond me...but i have a different chroot environment (thanks imbrandon) so I can test build each package07:10
Hobbseeor pbuilder login07:10
manchickenSo is it just chroot or does it actually work like a jail with virtualization and all that fun stuff?07:10
Hobbseeto actually get inside it07:10
Hobbseemanchicken: it is a chroot07:10
Hobbseemanchicken: well..it's slightly longer than that07:11
nixternaland then i use vmware to test my packages (cuz lord knows (ask crimsun the ubuntu god) i am good at breaking stuff)07:11
Hobbseemanchicken: there's a base image, which gets copied, and extracted out - so you can login to it, or build with it, etc07:11
Hobbseemanchicken: and it will use the extracted image, do what you want, until you exit it (if you've used login) or after it's built (if you've used build), leaving the base tarball intact, and deletes the directory it was working in07:12
Hobbseemanchicken: it's basically a thing that will give you a new chroot each time you use it07:12
manchickenBut it runs nothing on boot unless I tell it to, right?07:12
Hobbseeof course07:12
manchickenOkay, cool.07:12
manchickenvmware isn't that nice.07:12
manchickenI'm just trying to figure out how to get a build environment set up without killing my stable system.07:12
Hobbseeand like standard chroots, it wont let you get to your outside system from it, but you can get from your outside system into it07:13
nixternalheh, someone on planet ubuntu blogged about our chicago patent office shooter07:13
manchickenI've gotta use this build for work ;)07:13
Hobbseehehe07:13
=== manchicken isn't very familiar with chroot, etc.
nixternalmanchicken: join the crowd on that one...imbrandon probably went through it more times then he ever wanted to with me07:13
nixternaland i still have no idea what im doing07:13
Hobbseeahhh07:13
nixternali just get lucky every now and then and someone uploads a package for me ;p07:14
Hobbseemanchicken: heard of debootstrap?07:14
manchickenNope.07:14
Hobbseemanchicken: apt-cache show debootstrap | grep Description07:14
Hobbseehrm, that's not much help07:14
Hobbsee!chroot07:15
ubotuhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box07:15
manchickenSo can chroot images destablize your existing build?07:15
nixternalhttps://help.ubuntu.com/   <-- also have the Packaging Guide, which is a huge help07:15
Hobbseemanchicken: nope.  it's only in a directory of your standard build07:16
manchickenCool.07:16
=== Hobbsee thinks on how to explain
manchickenDoes it execute its own kernel image, etc?07:16
Hobbseeand that page doesnt actually tell you what a chroot is, as such07:16
=== Hobbsee thinks
Hobbseedunno on tha tone07:17
manchickenI should go to bed soon.07:17
manchickenI'll let this pbuilder finish.07:17
Hobbseeall it does is give you another / in the directory you tell it to, with a minimum system below, so you can build things07:17
Hobbseeor do whatever you want with it07:17
manchickenAh.07:17
manchickenThat's nice.07:18
Hobbseeyup07:18
manchickenSo it's a great way to hack feisty while running edgy.07:18
Hobbseehowever, the problem with that, is that once you modify that min system, it's modified, and now unclean, right?07:18
manchickenCan you execute GUI stuff?07:18
manchickenYeah.07:18
manchickenDirty dirty chroot07:18
Hobbseeif you bindmount .Xauthority and .ICEauthority, iirc07:19
Hobbseepbuilder is one step better than that - it takes a compressed version of the clean chroot, and doesnt let you modify it07:19
Hobbseehowever, it extracts it, keeping the compressed version in tact, and lets you login to that, or do whatever you want with that07:19
Hobbseeand deletes it when you quit out of hte pbuilder07:20
Hobbseedoes that make a bit more sense?07:20
=== Hobbsee pokes nixternal
manchickenAh, so you have to make your diffs each time you're done?07:20
manchickenJust a note, I may be too stupid to understand this right now.07:20
Hobbseehrm - no?07:20
Hobbseefor developing07:20
Hobbseenah, you wont be07:20
Hobbseefor developing, you do the package in your home directory or whatever, make all the changes you want to07:21
=== nixternal turned down the sound

manchickenInteresting.07:21
nixternaldon't forget to sign it07:21
manchickenIs this stuff wikied somewhere/07:21
Hobbsee*that's* where the pbuilder comes in - you throw the source at the pbuilder, and it tries to build it07:21

nixternalok, bed for real, i gotta get up early and get my Linux Fest game face on07:22
nixternalred eyed and walking sideways07:23
nixternalg'nite all07:23
Hobbseemanchicken: if you've got the sources, pbuilder builds the binaries to go with them - that's all it does - saves you building the binaries on your own system, and getting all the build deps07:23
manchickenAh...07:23
manchickenSo pbuilder takes my binaries into the image, and that image is always clean?07:24
Hobbseeyes07:24
manchickene.g. configs are reset each time, data files are reset each time?07:24
Hobbseeexactly07:24
Hobbseeit's a new image each time07:24

manchickenPortage is nice for releasing stuff, but for a staging box, this is just too sexy.07:25
manchickenI don't know how you could possibly get a more ideal test environment...07:25
manchickenThough it does seem a bit complicated.07:26
Hobbseeyou understand it eventually07:26

manchickenIt froze at bzip2...07:27
manchickenI restarted it.07:27

manchickenI've gotta go to bed or I'll end up rm -rf'ing in a drowsy daze....07:27
manchickenYeah.07:28
Hobbseethe standard pbuilders only know about packages in main, not universe07:28
Hobbseecool07:28
Hobbseeit just means it's downloading it07:28

neversfeldethanks11:30
Hobbseewe may not be on topic though :P11:30
LureHobbsee: ;-)11:30
Hobbseefor some on topic stuff...a chroot would work, wouldnt it?11:31
RiddellHobbsee: hardly, there would be no change from current except for replacing buttons that act like tabs with tabs11:31
=== Hobbsee tries to imagine how that would look like with tabs
Riddellno, I'm not sure either11:32
Riddellbut buttons-that-act-like-tabs are a major usability problem, so its worth investigating something else11:32
=== Hobbsee thought they acted like buttons, actually
Hobbseeas to why, i dont know - none of the rest of kde is11:33
freeflying_Riddell: there has a gui tool for set up Input Method in fedora named im-chooser, you may have a look11:34
LureRiddell: what about something similar as konq. sidebar?11:37
Riddellfreeflying_: what does it do other than run im-switch?11:37
RiddellLure: mmm, maybe, I'm not a fan of vertical sidebar tabs though11:37
LureRiddell: me neither, just that it is useful if you want to hide something ;-)11:38
freeflying_Riddell: it use its own scripts like im-switch11:38
Hobbseevertical sidebar tabs....oh right, like epiphany has11:39
Hobbseeblergh, yeah11:39
LureRiddell: if you look at konq tab, there is already a button (new tab) - if this could be extended for other buttons/controls for sys settings (overview/back, search...)11:39
Riddellworth investigating, although I seem to remember the API only accepts a button there, not a general widget11:40
LureRiddell: and we could also put hit number in tab title, e.g. "General (1)" and "Advanced (0)" - or is this too subtle11:41
Riddellhard to say without trying it11:43
LureRiddell: problem is that tab would resize...11:44

Riddellmanchicken: what's that?02:34
manchicken`sudo pbuilder create --distribution feisty` keeps hanging on bip2...02:34
manchicken99% [25 Packages bzip2 0] 02:34
manchickenI'm just trying to set up a build and test environment right now so that I can help you all out with some merges.02:36
manchickenSetting up a build environment for a distribution is (understandably) a hell of a lot more complicated than I initially thought ^_^02:37
manchickenBut that's cool.  If I can set up kde4 build environments, I can set up this one.02:37

manchickenI actually have the making of a pretty neat little podcast app written in Perl-Qt... until I found out that QHttp stuff isn't implemented.02:46
manchickenAt first I tried using LWP, but LWP doesn't thread well.02:46
manchickenSo I figured I'd try taking advantage of multi-threaded Qt.02:47

manchickenOr do I pbuilder login and apt-get things?08:01
Luremanchicken: no, pbuilder build will install required dependencies08:03
manchickenLure: Well none of the KDE stuff is installed in this feisty pbuilder image.08:06
manchickenHow do I control that?08:06
Luremanchicken: it will get installed when you build first kde package (and then it will be cached)08:06
manchickenAh.08:06
manchickenThat's nice.08:06
manchickenSo I gotta get a .dsc?08:06
Luremanchicken: pbuilder only keeps minimal root08:06
manchickenThat's nice.08:07
Luremanchicken: yes, you pass .dsc to build option08:07
manchickenSo can one ssh into a pbuilder to forward X or will it work with an already running X instance?08:07
manchickenBefore you wonder, yes, I am clueless.08:07
Luremanchicken: pbuilder does not need X - it just does build in CLI and will give you .deb08:08
Luremanchicken: no problem, I was clueless too when I started ;-)08:08
manchickenRight, but if I'm working on a KDE program that I don't want to pollute or update an existing program, how do I isolate it in a pbuilder instance and still be able to run it?08:08
manchickenI would RTFM if I could find one ^_^08:08
manchickenI got a minimal feisty pbuilder image that I can pbuilder login into... but that's where the disconnect is.08:09

Luremanchicken: yes, I do not know if pbuilder can be abused for this08:19
manchickenYou know of a good chroot tut?08:19
manchickenWell, if pbuilder pops out a .deb, and chroot can install debs, then that sounds like a great way to do things.08:20
