seeleDC LoCo are some nice people05:00
=== Hobbsee waves to seele
=== Jucato waves to the two ladies. :)
Hobbseeheya Jucato05:02
Jucatohi Hobbsee!05:02
seelehihi Hobbsee05:02
seelehiya Jucato05:02
Jucatohi seele! :)05:02
Jucatoseele: everytime I eat chocolates, I remember your nick :P05:03
Hobbseehehe05:03
Hobbseemmm...chocolate05:03
JucatoI had chocolate overload this week... :)05:04
manchickenHow goes it folks?05:22
Hobbseecold!05:23
manchickenheh05:24
Hobbseeand i have to go to work today, and multiply myself somehow05:24
=== Jucato pours water on Hobbsee, in the hopes of making her multiply...
manchickenI'm done working for the remainder of 2006.05:26
manchickenPaid time off is a beautiful thing.05:26
HobbseeJucato: no, that'll just make me colder, i think :P05:26
manchickenLots of feisty updates....05:26
Jucatohehe :)05:26
Hobbseemanchicken: lukcy.  so you can fix all of kubuntu while you're off?05:26
JucatoHobbsee: you on feisty now?05:27
manchickenheh05:27
=== Hobbsee is working almost every day for the next 3 weeks
HobbseeJucato: of course05:27
manchickenI'm working on kde-systemsettings.05:27
Hobbseemanchicken: i saw :)05:27
Jucatomanchicken: tabs? :)05:27
manchickenI hope to have a nice hefty patch for kde-systemsettings by EOY.05:27
manchickenYeah.05:27
manchickenI already have had quite a bit of success.05:27
Jucatoplease don't take out the search feature, even if people barely use it :)05:27
Hobbseemodules nto loaded hopefully, too05:27
HobbseeJucato: +105:27
manchickenActually that's the only thing really holding me back right now.05:27
manchickenBut I have a plan to fix it.05:27
manchickenI was hoping I was going to be able to scrap the widget stack control, but no such luck.05:28
Hobbsee:)05:28
Jucatomight want to talk with el too, as she worked on it for edgy05:28
manchickenIt makes life easier to pull the service controls in and it is the only way that I can think of keeping search in without confusing folks.05:28
=== Jucato wonders if el would remember some points he raised...
manchickenIt comes down to that I hate XMLUI.05:29
manchickenI hate it.05:29
manchickenIt comes across as lazy.05:29
manchickenThough it makes too much sense for kde-systemsettings.05:29
Jucatothey're trying to change it to LiveUI for KDE 405:29
Hobbseenixternal: ping?05:30
manchickenI'm just so against a lot of the mark-up languages for UI stuff.05:31
Jucatoalthough it does make it a bit easier to change things around, I think...05:31
nixternalHobbsee: pong?05:32
=== Jucato changed systemsettings.rc to put some things back in their proper places...
manchickenThat's what I'm saying.05:32
manchickenI hate it... but it makes sense for systemsettings.05:32
Hobbseenixternal: what's the story with kvpnc?  a new sync?05:32
nixternalyes05:33
nixternalfboudra uploaded it to debian experimental05:33
Hobbseedoes it add the menu dependancy?05:33
nixternalit closes every kvpnc bug (5 of them) on malone05:33
nixternalyes, the menu dependency is in there05:33
manchickenkvpnc really needs some work.05:33
nixternalmanchicken: the new release has had a lot of work05:33
manchickenGood.05:33
nixternalthey closed pretty much every debian bug and ubuntu bug known05:34
Hobbseemanchicken: poke fabo about it.05:34
manchickenI love the program, but it's got a bad track record.05:34
Hobbseenixternal: excellent :)05:34
Hobbseemanchicken: yeah, well.  it hasnt previously had much love in ubuntu05:34
nixternalya Hobbsee that is why i requested the sync from experimental05:34
Hobbseesounds good to me05:34
nixternalonce it is tweaked and tested in feisty, we can go ahead and backport it to edgy and dapper eventually05:34
manchickenI'm the kinda lazy hacker who sees no need to modify files if there's a GUI management app available.05:35
Hobbseeoops05:35
Hobbseei cant unsubscribe a group05:35
manchickenkvpnc works... though it's been kinda crappy from time to time.05:35
Hobbseegah.  i'm doing really well today...05:36
Hobbseenixternal: right, ack'd the correct bug05:37
manchickenGrumble...05:45
manchickenI'm gonna have to reboot.05:45
Hobbseewhat for?  kernel update?05:45
manchickenYeah.05:45
manchicken15 days uptime.05:45
manchickenIt's interesting... suspend doesn't count against uptime.05:46
manchickenKubuntu's support for power management is a beautiful thing.05:46
Hobbseeyup05:46
manchickenIt's so nice to be able to sleep my lappy again.05:46
Hobbseeespecially when it has an icon05:46
manchickenSuSE's ACPI support was crap.05:46
=== Hobbsee ntoes that her hibernate is useless
manchickenFroze up quite a bit.05:46
manchickenI can hibernate or suspend.05:46
Hobbseehow do i modprobe my wifi card, btw?  (intel 3945)05:46
manchickenI suspend.05:46
Hobbseei can do both, but my wifi card dosent come back from hibernate05:47
manchickenyou can't just ifdown && ifup?05:47
Hobbseenot if the light isnt even flashing, and nm doesnt see the card05:47
manchickenJust lsmod while it's working fine and figure out what module it's using.05:51
Hobbseeieee80211              35528  1 ipw394505:51
Hobbseeoh neat05:52
manchickenOkay, so ipw3945 is your module?05:52
Hobbseegood thought05:52
Hobbseethe ieeee8... is the module05:52
Hobbseethe ipw3945 is the card05:52
nixternalhibernate works like a champ here...when the battery hits 5% it auto hibernates...guidance rocks hardcore05:53
manchickenAh.05:53
manchickenFun.05:53
jdongHobbsee: aww you're having trouble with your ipw3945?06:05
Hobbseejdong: just with hibernate06:05
jdongHobbsee: what does iwconfig say?06:05
jdongoh06:05
jdongjust with hibernate...06:05
jdongstill, iwconfig06:05
Hobbseedunno06:06
Hobbseedont remember06:06
Hobbseelspci still found it06:06
jdongHobbsee: so can I go to sleep?06:06
jdongpretty pleasE?06:06
jdonglol06:06
Hobbseejdong: nope06:06
jdongHobbsee: well, two things can cause the card to not show up as a network interface06:06
jdongHobbsee: (1) radio is off. try flicking that wireless switch06:06
jdongHobbsee: (2) ipw3945d died. try running ipw3945d-`uname -r`06:07
Hobbseefirst isnt the case06:07
Hobbseeright06:07
jdongbut FWIW my ipw3945d suspends and resumes flawlessly06:08
jdongHobbsee: also, check for any BIOS updates? could be a acpi quirk?06:08
jdongthough that's a bit far-fetched06:08
Hobbseehavent yet06:09
Jucatojdong: you there?06:17
jdongJucato: kind of?06:17
Jucatojdong: just wondering. trying to compile ktorrent 2.1 beta from KDE SVN. it's complaining that I don't have GMP installed. does it need a newer version of GMP?06:18
jdongGMP... GMP.....06:18
=== Jucato maybe should be trying to install from the source tarball...
=== jdong looks in acronym dictionary
jdongJucato: I have svn debs06:18
jdongJucato: would that make you happy?06:19
JucatoGNU Multiple Precision lib06:19
JucatoI see your name in the KTorrent site :)06:19
jdongJucato: http://buntudot.org/people/~jdong/ktorrent/svn-edgy/06:19
jdongthat's svn06:19
jdongI build every day or two06:19
jdongautobuilt from some scripts I wrote06:19
Jucatojdong: yes it makes me happy. I'm just trying to learn to compile stuff from SVN... :)06:19
jdongwith somewhat edgy-inspired diff06:19
jdongJucato: i'm not away of any newer build-deps06:20
jdongaware*06:20
Jucatook. thanks then :)06:20
jdongJucato: they've built fine for me the way they were06:20
jdongJucato: did you follow the SVN building instructions on ktorrent's FAQ?06:20
Jucatoheh... I haven't seen that... I just built it the way I built Konvi and KPlayer :)06:20
Jucatothanks I'll look into it06:21
Jucatohm... looks similar to what I was doing. anyway thank you again for your time! :)06:21
jdongnp06:22
manchickenw00t!  Search implemented.06:24
manchickenThat was easy.06:24
Jucatoscreenshot!! :)06:26
Jucatojdong: lol!! stupid me! I didn't have libgmp3-dev installed :P06:27
jdongJucato: :)06:27
manchickenGotta get it back to the point where apt-get will build it again....06:27
jdongJucato: you really should start by build-depping the current packaging :)06:27
Jucatojdong: I'll get there once I figure out what that means lol :)06:28
manchickenI'll try to get rid of the General and Advanced buttons and then I'll shotty.06:28
=== Jucato just learned to compile stuff last week :)
manchickenGrumble....06:28
Jucatoyou can do it!06:28
manchickenconfigure: error: source directory already configured; run "make distclean" there first06:28
=== Jucato cheers manchicken on
manchickenI already ran that.06:29
jdongJucato: apt-get build-dep package06:29
Jucatoah that...06:29
=== Jucato checks
jdongJucato: it installs all the build deps for the source package <package>06:29
jdongthat's always a great place to start06:29
jdongfor packages that afford you taht luxury06:29
manchickenHow do you clean a package directory after you've run automake in it?06:30
=== LeeJunFan [n=junfan@adsl-69-210-207-5.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Jucatojdong: even if the <package> comes from KDE SVN, not from Ubuntu?06:30
jdongJucato: not really kinda sorta06:30
Hobbseeheh06:31
jdongJucato: it installs build dependencies for <package> that's in a deb-src line in your sources.list06:31
Jucatohehe ok.. I'll take it one step at a time. thanks for the pointers :)06:31
jdongJucato: so it's a good _START_06:31
jdongJucato: but a SVN package might demand more /newer dependencies06:31
jdongJucato: and if the package doesn't exist at all in ubuntu repos, then you're really at a loss06:31
Jucatoyeah. luckily this one was a pure PEBCAK :P06:31
Hobbseethen you just use pbuilder, etc06:32
Jucatopebkac.. pebcak...06:32
Hobbseepebkac06:32
Hobbseewait, i guess it works both ways06:32
manchickenheh06:33
Hobbseepeihb.06:33
Hobbseeor pebhbaow06:33
Hobbseeeither way :P06:33
Jucato:O06:33
Jucato:)06:33
Hobbsee(problem exists in hobbsee's brain, or problem exists between hobbsee's bran and outside world)06:33
manchickenokay, all I had to do was move config.status out of the way.06:34
manchickenI've got apt-get building kde-systemsettings.06:34
manchickenI've gotta figure out how to retrieve the name of the tab...06:34
manchickenI've just been using automake and make to fire off my development builds, and when I need to try installing something I use apt-get to build the .deb and then just dpkg -i it.06:40
manchickenI've found that since I'm running all this stuff in chroot already, there's no real point in trying to fake it much further than that.06:40
=== manchicken hugs chroot....
Hobbseeas long as the chroot is clean :P06:41
manchickenYeah.06:42
manchickenIf I run into something that's unclean, I can always pbuilder it afterwards...06:43
manchickenI'm not going to allow myself to work on more than one package at a time.06:43
manchickenand I think I may focus more on bug fixing and feature adding than packaging.06:43
manchickenThere doesn't seem to be any shortage of either of those type of tasks.06:44
manchickenI already know how to hack, I don't know how to package very well yet.06:44
=== Hobbsee runs off to work
Hobbseemanchicken: smart06:45
manchickenhttp://www.notsosoft.net/snapshots/snapshot2.png06:48
manchickenw00tness06:48
Jucatonice :)06:48
manchickenAs you can see, the search functionality is working ^_^06:48
manchickenI gotta get the tab names right, and get that second separator out.06:48
Jucatowhat happened to the "# hits in General"?06:49
manchickenI think I may have commented that out.06:49
Jucatooh06:49
manchickenheh06:49
Jucato:)06:49
manchickenI did a lot of experimentation trying to figure out what was and was not dynamically generated UI.06:49
manchickenYeah.06:50
manchickenheh06:50
manchickenslotSearchHits() is completely commented out.06:50
manchickenVery nice.06:50
Jucatoheheh :)06:50
manchickenIt's nice to be hacking something other than a bloody web app.06:51
manchickenI tell the folks at work that I hack web apps to support my hacking real app habit.06:51
Jucatosomeday... I'll be hacking too... hopefully :)06:51
manchickenIt's pretty simple.06:52
manchickenI actually hate C++ as a general language.06:52
Jucatothat's what I'm studying now (by myself)06:52
manchickenBut the way that K does it just adds a lot to it.06:52
manchickenWell then you'll learn the STL... which is the #1 beef I have with "standard" C++.06:53
Jucatoluckily I won't be sticking to STL for long... only reason I'm studying C++ is for Qt/KDE :)06:53
manchickenMost templates in C++ are about 2 notches above useless, and built-in code-bloat.06:53
manchickenYeah.06:53
Jucatostill, knowing it might be good for general knowledge...06:53
manchickenKDE and Qt have found glorious uses for template facilities in the language.06:54
Jucato(specially since it seems to be a "religious" topic among C++ programmers, better safe than sorry :P )06:54
manchickenEh, I prefer to leave religious discussion to relevant topics on the subject.  Things where we have the luxury of simplicity we should take advantage.06:56
manchickenMatters of personal preference shouldn't be debated so heavily.06:56
manchickenLike editor for example.06:56
manchickenI don't touch kdevelop.  I don't care for it at all.06:56
manchickenI'm strictly a GNU Emacs feller.06:56
manchickenBut many folks feel quite differently.06:57
manchickenSame with language.06:57
nixternalhence the chiglug ;p06:57
manchickenAnd I'm going to stab the MenuItem class.06:57
Jucatomaybe one day I'm going to understand all this fuss about emacs vs. vi...06:57
manchickenJucato: There is no fuss about it.06:58
manchickenIt's just silly people who REQUIRE something to argue about.06:58
manchickenThere are people in this world who simply aren't content to be content.  They have to be cross with someone.06:58
manchickenNo other feeling will do for them.06:59
Jucato:)06:59
manchickenBut there are also folks out there who will make ignorant statements about programs they have never used, or never used to the degree that would make their opinion an educated one.06:59
manchickenThat's why God put a back on your hand though.07:00
manchicken^_^07:00
Jucatoheheh07:01
Jucato:P07:01
=== nixternal thinks it is time for an edgy subversion backport
=== nixternal hacks together a quick .deb so he can continue working in the KDE repos
nixternalman, downgrading subverion by moving from one system to the next provides a little bit of a scare07:06
manchickenheh07:08
manchickenYeah, I could see that.07:08
manchickenYou can get away with that on RCS... but not svn.07:09
manchickenIf kde-systemsettings gets any more complex than it already is, we need to consider an alternate means of grouping it in the UI.07:12
manchickenI don't think tabs are the best way to go for this application if we extend it much further than it is.07:12
Jucatomore complex? I thought systemsettings was supposed to be a lighter, simpler alternative to kcontrol? :)07:13
manchickenWith just two tabs it makes sense, but if we get more than that I think we should consider going the route of the more standard config dialog grouping treatment.07:13
manchickenWell, kde-systemsettings lets you control more than kcontrol IIRC.07:13
manchickenI could be wrong.07:14
Jucatothe current incarnation in Edgy certainly has less...07:14
manchickenSorry, differently.07:14
manchickenI don't think you can change your X displays in kcontrol.07:14
Jucatomanchicken: both kcontrol and systemsettings use the same kcontrol modules07:14
Jucatoso if kde-guidance is installed, it shows up in both07:15
manchickenAck, so they do.07:15
manchickenSo yeah...07:15
manchickenI never really considered kcontrol all that complicated...07:15
manchickenSo yeah, if it's supposed to be a slimmed down kcontrol then I suppose we should be careful choosing what does and doesn't go there.07:16
JucatoI just find some of the groupings in kcontrol a bit... weird...07:16
manchickenI'd like to see printer controls in there.07:16
manchickenI agree.07:16
manchickenI don't like how hotkey assignments are in accessibility.07:16
manchickenIt doesn't seem logical to me.07:16
Jucatothat's why el (form OpenUsability) helped work on it for Edgy.07:16
manchickenI mean, hotkey assignments certainly help with accessibility, but it's not limited to that.07:17
Jucatoyeah07:17
manchickenOf all the settings I change on my machine, hotkeys have to be one of the most frequently changed.07:17
JucatoI'm not sure if Input Actions should be in accessibility either...07:17
JucatoI don't see how mouse gestures are an accessibility feature...07:18
=== manchicken kinda HATES mouse gestures.
=== Jucato doesn't even know how to use them lol
manchickenIt's a neat idea, but I just see little to no practical use for them.07:18
Jucatoalthough Input Actions is very useful for creating your own keyboard shortcuts07:18
manchickenYes..07:18
manchickenIntegrating DCOP into that was nothing short of brilliance.07:19
Jucatoyeah!07:19
manchickenI'm just hoping DBUS will give us the same flexability.07:19
manchickenI'm not okay losing that convenience.07:19
=== Jucato recently just made a shortcut to set both Konvi and Kopete to away at the same time
Jucatowell, they say that technically, DBUS is more powerul/advanced than DCOP...07:20
manchickenIt's nice to be able to fire set global hotkeys to interface with applications.07:20
manchickenThis lovely 64-bit Turion is loving all of this compiling.07:20
manchickenIt's just eating it up.07:21
Jucatohehehe07:21
manchickenThough building via apt-get is slow.07:21
=== Jucato is still trying to figure out why ktorrent from svn won't build...
manchickenWhat's the release for feisty?07:23
manchickenWhat error are you getting?07:23
Jucatonah.. just trying to learn/practice building from kde svn07:23
manchicken(building things from SVN is tricky.  people aren't always as careful about their commits as they should be on the kde repositories)07:23
Jucatosomething about a missing settings.h file... which I can't find anywhere... which makes me wonder how jdong was able to build it...07:24
=== manchicken just shot himself in the foot for the last 10 minutes writing C++ like Perl....
manchickenWell that was a fun circle-jerk.07:25
Jucatoheh :)07:25
manchickenWell, the thing about svn is that things change pretty fast.07:25
manchickenAre you actually grabbing from the KDE repositories?07:25
manchickenKDE4?07:25
Jucatotrunk07:26
manchickenOr 3.5.6?07:26
manchickenOkay, trunk is KDE4.07:26
manchickenIIRC.07:26
manchickenFor KDE repositories.07:26
Jucatonot all07:26
manchickenDo you have a CMakeFile.txt?07:26
Jucatokonvi in trunk is for KDE 3.5.x07:26
Jucatoheh I just gave up on it for now...07:27
JucatoI'll take it up again maybe tonight...07:27
manchickenWhat's konvi?07:27
Jucatokonversation :)07:28
manchickenAh.07:28
=== lnxkde [n=vlos@206.248.117.48] has left #kubuntu-devel ["Konversation]
=== manchicken hugs konversation....
Jucatosorry, I like to use "terms of endearment" for my favorite/most used apps :)07:28
Jucato(actually only Konqi and Konvi)07:29
manchickenheh07:29
=== manchicken hugs konq...
Jucatoheh07:30
manchickenI wish someone would add KDE GUI support to GNU Emacs.07:30
=== Jucato hugs them both, and with plenty of room for Kontact
manchickenThat'd be pretty bad ass.07:30
manchickenOoh, kontact.07:30
manchickenDon't forget amarok.07:31
manchicken^_^07:31
Jucatooh yeah :)07:31
manchickenAnd konsole.07:31
Jucato:)07:31
JucatoKOffice... well, I have a love/hate relationship with it :)07:32
manchickenkbfx has been doing pretty well for me lately too.07:32
manchickenKOffice is doing well, but still needs a bit of work.07:32
JucatoI like Amarok... but not a huge fan :)07:32
Jucatoyeah I agree. but it's getting there (hopefully)07:32
manchickenOh I'm an Amarok fanboy.07:32
manchickenBest music player ever.07:32
Jucatoheh maybe I'm just not the type who really gets picky about the multimedia apps that he uses07:33
Jucatoin fact, it's only recently that I've decided to look for something else other than Kaffeine...07:33
manchickenKaffeine just seems to be one of those programs that is greatly crippled by the evils of DRM.07:37
manchickenIt could be a great video player, but the DRM crap and proprietary codecs really limit what Kaffeine could be.07:38
Jucatothere's another thing that I find a bit annoying in Kaffeine (besides not playing some .mkv videos...): it's mouse wheel behavior is the opposite of the rest of KDE07:39

mhbmanchicken: I mean the proposed one10:09
manchickenOh.10:09
manchickenyeah.10:09
manchickenBut how hard would it be to write a Perl script to convert from one to the other?10:09
mhbmanchicken: not that difficult, I guess. But still there has to be someone who writes that :o) All devs have a ton of other, more important stuff.10:11
manchickenWriting config conversions is pretty important.10:13
mhbmanchicken: the whole branding thing isn't :o)10:14
=== manchicken is hacking kubuntu too ^_^
manchickenNo, but a theme converter would be important.10:14
manchickenFolks will be disappointed if they can't keep their skin.10:14
manchickenSome folks actually put a lot of effort into that stuff.10:15
mhbmanchicken: yes, but this has little to do with a K menu icon branding, IMHO.10:17
manchickenRight...10:17
manchickenI thought you were arguing a more general concept than that ;10:17
manchicken;)10:17
manchickenI think we should let K's default menu button remain our default menu button.10:17

Luresebas: agreed, but what to do if something else is set outside (not very likely, but still) - just display, but do not allow setting in our UI10:51
sebasLure: I don't think we should handle that case.10:52
