Hobbseeyay :)07:56
Hobbseewell you've had a couple of extra days with the kernel buggery07:56
nixternalwe need to seriously rethink our doc setup, this building to HTML for all of the translations as well is mad07:56
Hobbseeand the fact that you're hte main translation man, so if you dont get your stuff ready, ti doesnt go in07:57
nixternalit would go quicker, but it seems the xslt configs don't have 1/2 of our translation codes07:57
Hobbseeurgh07:57
nixternalhow did I get tasked with "main translation man"?07:58
nixternaljust for docs....no more translations..I don't want to see anymore07:58
nixternalI don't want to see a .po, .mo, or .pot07:58
Hobbseewell, you apepar to be the one who's doing most of them for kubuntu07:58
Hobbseesorry, docman07:58
nixternalhehe07:58
nixternalAt least Gutsy doc work won't be so hectic07:59
nixternalbut KDE 4 and KOffice 2 work is getting ready to get hectic, so that should be fun07:59
nixternalspeaking of which, I am building on my brand new shiny etch build07:59

nixternalshh, but debian gnome is prettier than ubuntu gnome08:00

nixternalI think we have the best lookin' KDE ootb though08:01
nixternalFedora has been taughting this super duper KDE implementation with Fedora 7, and I was appalled to see that Fedora 7 KDE looks like Red Hat 2 KDE, nothing has changed, and I hate the Red Hat icons08:02
nixternalthey make me want to jump out of tall building08:02
crimsunVista, OTOH...08:02
Hobbseeheh08:02
nixternalya crimsun you would definitely know vista08:02

crimsunI keep windows around for bios updates08:03
nixternalotherwise I am running an all Kubuntu shop08:03
Hobbseeno point having vista for games - hte games appear to have very low framerates, from what i've heard08:03
nixternalI don't mess with bios updates unless it is a matter of life and death08:04
crimsunI have an HP laptop. bios updates are the norm.08:05
nixternalwell I do have a Debian Etch install now, Slackware, and one FreeBSd box08:05

Hobbseeyay, you got your patch in :)08:43
fdovingyeah, i'm not 100% happy with it though.08:44
fdovingi made a 4-line shellscript that does the job better. :)08:44

fdovingand in the process i've figured out that the error-message people see sometimes is a d-bus timeout.08:46
fdovinghaven't been able to make that timeout longer, appears to be 60s.. but that can't be true if it appears during a sync. i've never experienced a 60-second removable-device umount-sync.08:47

ubotuMalone bug 105714 in klamav "KlamAV crashes if software auto-update service is enabled" [Low,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/10571409:54
ScottKI don't have a strong opinion myself, but would lean towards removing the option entirely (but don't forget to update the documentation too).09:54
ScottKatypic: I think the other crash bug is more important.09:55
=== ScottK can't fix either one...
fdovingisn't it just to disable/gray out the options?10:01
fdovingatleast 10571410:01
nixternalfdoving: sorry, same issue10:02
ScottKThat's one option.  I think it'd be better to remove it entirely.10:02
fdovingi think not.10:02
fdovingnixternal: ok. then i have no clue.10:02
ScottKIt's argueable.10:02
ScottKGrey out the box and you get bugs "Box greyed out".10:03
fdovingremove it and you get "missing option"10:03
fdovingdo nothing and you get "crash on.. "10:03
fdovingour clamav is already out of date. it says.10:05
atypicI'd go for removal. But anyway: Are you guys able to reproduce the other bugs?10:05
ScottKatypic: I have not been able to reproduce it.10:07
ScottKBut they have all come since the update to the new version, so something's up.10:08
fdovinghow does debian handle this?10:17
fdovingthey do not ship 0.4110:18
ScottKfdoving: It's in experimental in Debian.  That's where we got it from.10:20
ScottKIt's the same as here.10:20
fdovinghttp://packages.debian.org/experimental/utils/klamav10:21

ScottKHmmm10:21
fdovinghttp://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/klamav/10:22
fdovingthe mirrors do not have 0.41 either.10:22
ScottKSure enough.  Our changelog says Hobbsee got it straight from the upstream source.10:25
Hobbseehm?10:25

fdovingHobbsee: you broke klamav :)10:25
Hobbseefdoving: it was already broken.10:25
fdovingok :)10:25
ScottKIt's less broken now.10:25
ScottKBTW, klamav won't work in Debian Testing/Unstable since they have the new (0.90 series) clamav and the old 0.3 series klamav.10:26
=== Hobbsee wonders her other shoe is...
ScottKHobbsee: atypic is going to fix klamav.10:26

fdovingi'll apt-get source kdenetwork to walk you though this the way i mean is correct and clean :)05:32
marseillaioki05:32
marseillaifdoving: i'm using this tuto to help me : https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/fr/basic-updating.html05:33
fdovingok.05:34
fdovingyou''ve apt-get sourced kopete.05:34
fdovingnow you want to make your changes a patch to kdenetwork in the package part of the source.05:35
fdovingthat means your changes should be done under debian/05:35
marseillaifdoving: i thought i had to make the change then do a debdiff ??? i'm wrong ?05:35
fdovingno, that is correct.05:36
marseillaiok05:36
marseillaiso05:36
fdovingbut that part comes later.05:36
fdovingthe package part of the source is what's inside the .diff.gz05:36
marseillaifor the moment i've done a temp directory in kdenetwork directory!05:36
fdovingyes.05:36
fdovingyou have a .dsc file, a diff.gz and a orig.tar.gz right?05:36
marseillaithen i've copy kopete directory in it in kopete/ and kopete.orig/05:37
marseillaiyes for kdenetwork05:37
fdoving.diff.gz is the package part of the source, orig.tar.gz is the upstream kdenetwork tar.gz05:37
fdovingthe debian directory is inside the package part, so, it's all in diff.gz05:37
fdovingand that what we consider clean.05:38
marseillaislowly i try to understand you by reading at list twice what you write ....05:38
marseillaioki05:38
marseillaiunderstood05:38
fdovinggood.05:38
fdovingsorry the delay.05:41
marseillaifdoving: so now i apply my patch to kopete/ directory, then i will diff -Nru  <package>-<version>.orig <package>-<version> > patch-file am i right ?05:41
fdovingok, you don't need to copy the kopete directory anywhere.05:41
fdovingmarseillai: yes, that's correct, but you have tools that does most of the job for you.05:41
fdovingmarseillai: do you have cdbs installed?05:41
marseillaiyes05:41
fdovingok, now cd into kdenetwork-3.5.6/05:42
marseillaiyes05:42
fdovingcheck what patches are already included 'ls debian/patches'05:42
fdovingnow you see that the latest kubuntu patch is kubuntu_07_fileshare.diff05:42
marseillaiso in debian/05:43
marseillai?05:43
fdovinghang on.05:43
fdovingso, your patch should be named kubuntu_08_emoticons_editor.diff or something like that, right?05:43
fdovingnow, we have a tool named cdbs-edit-patch05:43
marseillaifdoving: wait wait05:44
marseillaimy patch is a .patch05:44
marseillaionly05:44
marseillaiit's this file :  http://www.facticius.net/files/kopete-emoticons-manager.patch05:44
fdovingyes, that's cool, what we're about to do, is to apply the patch, in a temp environment, and make our nifty tool cdbs-edit-patch make the debian/patches/kubuntu_08_emoticons_editor.diff patch for us.05:44
marseillaioki05:45
fdovingso, while still in the kdenetwork-3.5.6/ directory run: cdbs-edit-patch kubuntu_08_emoticons_editor.diff05:45
fdovingwhat happens is that cdbs-edit-patch makes a clean copy of the kdenetwork source package somewhere in /tmp/05:46
fdovingand executes a shell there for you to work inside.05:46
marseillaiah oki05:46
fdovingall changes you make will be added to kubuntu_08_emoticons_editor.diff when you exit the shell with a 0 exit code.05:47
marseillaiit do what i was doing by hand in fact ...05:47
fdovingyes, now inside the subshell apply your patch.05:47
marseillaioki05:48
marseillaii try but that's something i've never done05:48

marseillaiin kopete directroy isn't it ?05:50
fdovingno, i did it from the toplevel kdenetwork-3.5.6 directory05:50

mhbkdevelop doesn't have a bzr plugin, does it...06:26
mhbsorry, trying #kubuntu instead06:27
fdovingmarseillai_: yeah, or 'debuild -S -sa -us -uc' is what i use to only build source. then i use 'pbuilder build file.dsc' with the new version. I recon you used 'dch -i' to increment the version number and make a changelog entry explaining that you added the patch and what it does?06:29
marseillai_fdoving: i don't understand your last sentences : "I recon you used 'dch -i' to increment the version number and make a changelog entry explaining that you added the patch and what it does?"06:30
marseillai_i should have done dch -i ???06:31
marseillai_*would06:31
fdovingmarseillai_: before debuild -us -uc, yes.06:31
marseillai_arf06:31
marseillai_too late06:31
fdovingmarseillai_: 'dch -i' is a command that will modify debian/changelog and increment the version number.06:31
marseillai_what it does ?06:31
marseillai_oki06:31
marseillai_so06:31
marseillai_dch -i then debuild -S -sa -us -uc then pbuilder build file.dsc ?06:32
fdovingmarseillai_: yes, before pbuilder build you can use 'debdiff oldversion.dsc newversion.dsc > debdiff.diff'06:34
marseillai_fdoving: oki06:35
marseillai_a question06:35
fdovingyes?06:35
marseillai_before building if i need some special dependency ton compile is there a way to install them simply ?06:35
fdovingyou don't need to if you just build source. 'debuild -S -sa -us -uc'06:36
fdovingand pbuilder installs them if you build with pbuilder06:36
marseillai_oki06:37
marseillai_so let's go for making a debdiff and test this patch06:37
marseillai_fdoving: done like this can i submit this patch to kubuntu ?06:37
fdovingyou can submit the .debdiff to kubuntu.06:37
marseillai_oki06:38
marseillai_oula06:38
fdovingbut it's always good practice to compile yourself and test, before submitting patches or debdiffs.06:38
marseillai_i've done dhc -i06:38
marseillai_yes06:38
marseillai_i'll06:38
marseillai_fdoving: i've done dhc -i  what should i do! i'm in changelog.dch? ^X to quit? change something?06:39
marseillai_i've add this too lines06:41
marseillai_* Add kubuntu_08_emoticons_editor.diff06:41
marseillai_    - adds emoticons aibility to kopete06:41
fdovingSpelling is very important in changelog files, we try to be picky on that, and capitalization.06:41
marseillai_it's enough ?06:42
marseillai_i can quit ?06:42
fdovingSo, '- Adds an emoticon editor to kopete' and maybe a link to the page you found the patch?06:42
marseillai_i've just make this modifications06:42
ScottKYou'll also need the bug number this affects.06:42
fdovingit's also often nice to thank the author of the patch.06:42
ScottKIf you don't have a bug yet, write one as you'll need it to get the patch in.06:43
marseillai_for patch editor i've only is nick06:43
ScottKWrite your bug and then put (LP: # zzzz) at the end of the changelog entry.06:43
marseillai_oki06:44
marseillai_let's go for that06:44
ScottKOops, but without the space between # and zzzz, i.e. #zzzz06:44
fdovingmarseillai_: with a link to the kde-apps/kde-look page you found the patch and his nick i belive it's enough.06:44
marseillai_oki06:45
nixternal??: if I run 'make all' in the docs svn right, it runs so smooth and fast. Now when I run that same Makefile with the kubuntu-docs package, pbuilder initiates it, and it runs so damn slow. any ideas as to why?06:47
nixternalfdoving: have you experienced that before?06:47
fdovingpbuilder is dead slow.06:47
fdovingi use cowdancer to make it slightly faster.06:47
marseillai_ScottK: i must name my bug with [packages need]  ?06:47
nixternaldude, 8 hours for the kubuntu-docs to build, oh and fail out at the very end because of a typo by me06:47
ScottKNo.06:47
ScottKDescribe the problem your patch solves.06:48
fdovingnixternal: nice. don't you use debuild? i only use pbuilder once or twice to check dependencies.06:48
ScottKmarseillai_: Think as if you are a user with a problem, not the developer with the solution.06:48
nixternalwell I use pbuilder to test, especially now with the translations06:48

nixternalyes it is07:50
fdovingbetter to just do it, instead of kdelibs failing again, at 98 percent.. in 5 hours :)07:51
nixternalI would really like to know what platform they wrote those instructions for. I haven't had any luck with Kubuntu or Debian. Slackware had no problem that I can remember07:52
nixternalthen again, there is no telling what kind of bugs they have introduced since that writing either that may have changed up some stuff07:52
fdovingit worked flawlessly for me some time ago.07:53
fdovingthen again, i had other qt-copy issues.07:53
nixternalit seems qt-copy is the root of all problems I have had so far07:53

fdovingi'll re-install osx and give it to my girlfriend.07:55
nixternalheh, that will work07:55
fdovingnot because of codecs and flash and those regular things, i'm happy with that. but the issue is i can't compile stuff on my superduper servers and use it on the laptop.07:55
fdovingi need to compile everything on the lapotp.. and that's timeconsuming.07:56
nixternalhahah, you have to compile on the laptop, and wait forevah!07:56
fdovingyes.07:56
nixternalspeaking of which, I fixed the docs typo and it is happily building away 1 section every 30 to 45 minutes07:56
nixternaland there are 18 total, not including the firefox pages, which are only a few07:57
fdovingheh.. is the source huge?07:57
nixternal22MB07:57
fdovingi can test-compile for you if you want.07:57
nixternalhrmm, it is only 10MB07:57
mhbcrash during compilation is not the worst thing07:57
nixternalI swore last night it was bigger07:58

=== nixternal makes sure manchicken isn't around
nixternalcreate a TOE, the code it :)07:59
marseillai_fdoving: it takes SO MANY TIMES to compile on my little configuration08:00
fdovingmarseillai_: it does. pbuilder is slow, especially on slow hardware. debuild -us -uc is a little faster. not much, but alittle.08:02
fdovingmarseillai_: and, you're compiling the complete kdenetwork module of kde now, not only kopete.08:02
marseillai_fdoving: an estimation of times to compile kdenetworks ?08:02
fdovingmarseillai_: no idea. it's been a while since i compiled it.08:02
marseillai_fdoving: i didn't i was able to compile only kopete08:02
fdovingmarseillai_: yes, but not if you're building the packages.08:03
marseillai_fdoving: a question! now i'll have only a kdenetwork.deb or kopete.deb and kdenetwork*.deb .... ?08:04

ScottKfdoving: Looks like your update fixed the problem where klamav crashes if you try and update it or clamav, so that's definite progress.08:55
fdovingScottK: good :)08:56
fdovingthanks to suse for those fixes.08:56
ScottKThanks to you for knowing how to find them.08:56
=== marseillai_ is now known as marseillai
=== ScottK is going to have to ask you for a tutorial on that when we both have time...
fdovinggoogle.com08:57
ScottKAh.08:57
ScottKEnough said.08:57
fdovingdownload.opensuse.org is nice too.08:57
ScottKActually it's thanks to opensuse we got the clamav update too.  I used to run opensuse and never unsubbed from their security list.  I saw it mentioned there.08:58
fdovingand kmenu -> run command -> 'gg:site:download.opensuse.org klamav' is also nice.08:59
fdovingsuse rocks.08:59
fdovingi can't stand using it though.08:59
fdovingas it's rpm.08:59
ScottKRight.08:59
ScottKI also got tired of being a beta (or alpha) tester for SLES.09:00
ScottKI wanted to run a distro where what I was using was considered the final product.09:00

mhbwhat is the current KDE way of displaying informational messages?10:01
=== mhb is too lazy to read the UI guidelines (again)
ash211mhb: I don't think it's optimal, but kdialog can be used10:03
mhbI have to obey the KDE guidelines, I guess10:05
mhbyou can either do a pop-up or show it dynamically in the window10:05
mhbI prefer the latter, but that's more Vista-ish (and I'm not sure if that's allowed in the KDE UI Guidelines)10:06
ash211Amarok displays things in-window10:07
ash211an informational bar and also a sort of in-window scrolling popup notification10:07
Tm_Tvista-ish?10:08
=== Tm_T don't get this
Tm_Tsuddenly almost everything has something to do with vista10:08
ash211something that microsoft windows vista would do10:08
mhbTm_T: it's vista-ish because the "Windows Vista User Experience Guidelines" recommend that10:09
mhbash211: you're right10:10
mhbTm_T: perhaps Apple Human Interface Guidelines recommend the same, I have to check10:10
Tm_Tmhb: and if KDE recommends same or similar, can we just _forget_ that vista already?10:11
Tm_Tash211: like use doubleclick?10:11
ash211if it's between popups or in-line info bars, I'd go for the less-obtrusive informational bar10:12
nixternalOSD :)10:12
ash211hopefully google can turn doubleclick around :)10:12
=== mhb would go for the info bar too
ash211but I chose to keep the OSD - I don't have Amarok up 100% of the time10:13
ash211(even though it's that great of a program )10:13
mhbbut I'll probably wait on a UI expert to review the UI10:13
ash211mhb: what's this going to be used in?10:14
mhbash211: my soc2007 project, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kubuntu-gdebi10:14
nixternalhis QtPr0nWidget10:14
nixternal;p10:15
ash211if it's goatse, I'd prefer the popup!10:15
nixternalgahahahah10:15
ash211cover the image ...10:16
mhbash211: a KDE frontend for gdebi, the graphical .deb installer10:16
ash211mhb: see Notifications at http://usability.kde.org/hig/current/windows-dialogs.php10:16
mhbash211: thanks so much10:17
ash211I think I'm actually already subscribed to your spec :010:17
nixternalmhb: if you need doc help on that, feel free to bug me10:17
nixternalif gdebi-gtk has docs though, it can be easily implmented10:18
nixternalmy lord, apidox for KDE4 are still going10:19
nixternalI think they are outlasting the kdelibs and kdebase installs10:19
mhbash211: sadly the KDE page "recommends" pop-ups10:19
ash211really ?!10:19
mhbash211: http://usability.kde.org/hig/current/images/windows-dialogs-simple-plain.png10:20
ash211what's your popup going to inform the user of?10:20
ash211it also has this line, though: "It is irritating for the user to have notification dialogs popping up for expected events. Messages like Printing completed or Mail sent should be avoided. Instead, the application might show these messages in the statusbar."10:21
mhbash211: the same thing the GNOME pop-up does, stuff like "this package is present in the repositories with an older version"10:21
ash211I've never used the gnome version, so I'm not familiar with it10:21
ash211if I've downloaded a package to install, then I probably already know that the repo version is older, wouldn't I?10:22
mhbash211: this pop-up appears when gdebi checks the repositories and finds a package with the same name10:22
mhbash211: true, it's nothing critical ...10:23
ash211I'd put it inline with the text, maybe a status bar or something, if it were me10:24
ash211"A notification dialog should be used only when users need to be notified of an event which they did not specifically ask for, or were not necessarily expecting."10:24
mhbash211: "not necessarily expecting" fits here, they don't have to expect that10:25
mhbash211: but it's a broad definition10:25
mhbash211: thanks for the discussion and opinions10:26
fdovingnixternal: congrats.10:27
ash211you welcome10:27
ash211s/you/you're/10:27
nixternalI think I am just going to run Xephyr10:27
mhbash211: I should still wait for the UI review10:28
ash211what's that?10:28
ash211mhb: how do you submit something like that for review? and to whom?10:28
mhbash211: I usually make a mockup, write some more information about the UI in the specification and then ask Jonathan (R.) which Kubuntu UI-skilled person to ask for help.10:31
ash211thanks, I was just wondering10:32
mhbash211: are you creating a UI application for gutsy?10:33
ash211no, I'm just observing the process10:33
ash211I'll be gone for most of the summer doing stuff...10:34
