mhbpygi: I'd go for a discussion here11:02
mhbHobbsee: ^^11:02
Hobbseeokay11:02
mhbif you two don't mind, of course11:02
pygijust shoot11:02
mhbokay11:02
mhbthe thing I argue about is the concept11:03
pygiof changing the regular dialog that k3b shows anyway? :P11:03
mhbwe don't have any pop-up about installing codecs in Kaffeine, because there is no upstream code that enables us to do it11:03
mhbthis one is also about installing codecs11:04
pygimhb, you could easily write a patch11:04
mhbpygi: why thank you :o) unfortunately, I can not, because I don't have neither time nor experience with kaffeine code to patch it11:05
mhbpygi: that's a side note11:05
pygimhb, I was referring to anyone, not you specifically :P11:06
mhbpygi: what I'd welcome is popping that dialog up only when a user requests encoding/decoding a proprietary encoded media11:06
pygiwell, I thought that's what we're having here? :PP11:07
mhbpygi: AFAIK, k3b pops-up the dialog on startup11:07
mhbpygi: at least it did for me11:07
pygiHobbsee, ? is that true?11:07
pygimhb, but still,the dialog clearly explains what you get and what your options are11:08
mhbI might be wrong, though11:08
Hobbseenot in my extremely limited k3b experience.11:08
mhbpygi: oh yes, it's on startup11:12
pygio well11:12
mhbpygi: I agree the current dialog is not very helpful11:12
mhbwhat I disagree with is that k3b is useless without the codec11:13
pygimhb, it's not useless11:13
pygithe dialog will be precise and show correct info, don't worry11:13
mhba pop-up on startup is a way to inform a user about a thing he necessarily needs to know before he starts using the app11:14
mhband this is not the case, IMHO11:14
pygithis is the upstream problem, not ours really. We'll just inform the user of choices.11:15
mhbwell, the distribution of proprietary codecs is more or less our problem11:15
pygiineded11:16
pygiwell, we won't distribute those11:16
mhbI think the policy in Ubuntu is "offer installing them when the user needs them"11:16
pygiyes, I know11:16
mhband that's what we should stick to11:16
pygibut I have no idea how much patching would that require11:16
pygiupstream should be notified that it should move the dialog to a more appropriate place11:16
pygimail Trueg and tell him about the reasoning?11:16
mhbI probably will do that. He also might disagree with our policy and might want to keep his - "once a part of k3b is missing, report it to the user"11:17
pygitrue, but ...11:18
pygiit's really more sane to display the dialog when user requires the functionality11:18
pygimhb, please keep me informed11:18
mhbpygi: don't worry, I will11:18
Arbypygi: since we're on the subject, is that also true of the 'cdrecord will be run without root privileges' message at startup (i.e. it's an upstream thing)11:19
pygiArby, hm? wodim is ran without root privileges AFAIK11:19
pygiArby, what do you mean?11:20
Arbypygi: yes, but the message at startup imlies something needs to be done but doesn't say what11:20
Arbyhttp://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7506kdialogwx8.png11:20
Arbythat message11:20
pygiimage doesn't exist? :P11:20
mhbheh11:20
Arbyoops11:20
Arbyhttp://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7506/kdialogwx8.png11:20
Arbymissing /11:21
Arbyshould work now11:21
pygiyup, it works11:21
Arbybig red warning at first start up11:21
pygiah, k3b will always report that since joerg requires cdrecord to be run as root11:21
Arbyimplies I need to configure something but doesn't tell me anything about how11:22
mhbthe description should be changed11:22
Arbyyes11:22
pygiArby, file a bug11:22
mhbremove the SUSE references and add Ubuntu help11:22
Arbyas long I know it is a bug then I will11:22
pygiArby, but IMHO we shouldn't put suid or run wodim as root11:23
pygithat's part of why wodim is there anyway :P11:23
Arbypygi: I have no idea about the technical end11:23
pygiI do :)11:23
ArbyI'm just saying it's a bad message :)11:23
pygitrue, but we can't get a better one11:23
=== Czessi-m [n=czessi@tmo-106-1.customers.d1-online.com] has joined #kubuntu-devel
pygior put "Solution: Just ignore it :P"11:23
Arbyfine for me, not so great for first time user :)11:24
Arbybut I agree it's hard to do much about it11:24
Arbyoh well, I'll file a bug11:25
mhbpygi: we can get a better message11:25
pygiArby, and what should I do with it?11:25
Arbypygi: I don't know, that's why I'm asking you, you were the one who said file a bug11:26
mhbArby: file a bug, post a link here. Suggest a better message in that bugreport.11:27
pygiArby, yea, but we can't do anything about it, and I've got no idea on what it should state11:27
pygimhb, but what would that "better message" be?11:27
mhbpygi: "it is highly recommended to run k3b with admin privileges. <some more info about why> To solve this, add your user to the appropriate group in the User Management tool in System Settings.11:29
mhbor if the solution is different, post a different solution. I don't get that message here, so I presumed a group is all it takes.11:30
=== Jucato [n=jucato@210.5.97.219] has joined #kubuntu-devel
pygimhb, but it's not recommended :P11:30
ArbyI'm beginning to wish I'd never asked :)11:30
mhbpygi: it is "highly" recommended, that's what the first message said11:31
mhbArby: is that a bad solution? Or my bad English?11:31
pygimhb, well, the message is wrong :P11:31
pygi(at least for ubuntu)11:31
Arbymhb: nothing wrong with your english11:31
pygiwhere cdrkit people claim that wodim doesn't need to be ran with root privileges11:31
Arbyjust two people giving me different answers11:31
Arbyand now I don't know what the 'right' thing to do is11:32
mhbArby: both saying "file a bug", right? :o)11:33
pygimhb, I say no bug :P11:33
ArbyI rest my case :)11:33
pygihaha :)11:33
=== _Sime_ [n=konversa@ip54579d1b.direct-adsl.nl] has left #kubuntu-devel ["Konversation]
ArbyI'm not the expert here, you two decide and tell me what you want :P11:34
mhbArby: okay, you and me think you should file a bug11:40
Arbyagreed11:40
Arbybut it's going to land on pygi's to do list and he says no11:40
mhbArby: do that, it could get rejected but the information won't get lost11:40
Arbymhb: fair enough, will do11:41
mhbArby: more people are able to write patches of this "minitude" :o)11:41
pygimhb, it's not about writing the patch, that isn't the problem11:42
pygiwe're talking more technical discussion here :P11:42
mhbpygi: of course11:42
=== pygi should just remove cdrecord/wodim support from k3b :P
Arbypygi: if I file the bug is it going to come to you anyway?11:44
pygiArby, sure11:44
Arbyin which case lets miss out launchpad and you make the call.11:44
Arbypygi: what do you think is best?11:45
pygiwhat about this ... I go to lunch, and when I'm back we discuss? :P11:45
Arbyno bug ?11:45
Arbyfine with me :)11:45
pygigreat, thanks :P11:45
=== mhb is for bug, though
pygiyou learn about the reasons of cdrkit/wodim existance, and differences with wodim vs. cdrecord :)11:46
mhbpygi: could be we're the only ones who will be interested in it11:46
pygimhb, doesn't matter, two is two ... so it matters :)11:46
Arby ahem, 311:46
Arby:)11:46
pygiok, ok, 3 :P11:46
pygibut who's the third?11:46
mhbpygi: it might matter in the future11:46
Arbyyou, mhb and me ?11:46
pygiyou can't count me :P11:47
Arbyoh OK it is 2 then :)11:47
mhbpygi: say somebody posts the same one, or a similar one11:47
pygimhb, lunch first pls? :) I'm late already :P11:47

pygikindof, always the same stuff :p12:38
Arbybeen thinking while you were away12:38
pygiand what? :)12:38
Arbyare you saying that wodim/cdrecord never needs to be run as root now?12:38
Arbyin which case the message would be pointless12:39
pygiwodim doesn't need to be run as root12:40
pygithat's correct12:40
ArbyOK, so in fact the message doesn't need to be there at all?12:40
pygi(I have no idea whetever wodim folks actually fixed that, or just forcefully removed the need for root)12:40
pygiArby, for ubuntu, that's the case, yes12:40
Arbybut not for upstream?12:41
=== IanC26 [n=IanC26@2002:cb36:1cf3:4:216:6fff:fe39:ff6e] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Arbyi.e. does wodim in debian need root?12:41
pygino, wodim doesn't need root anywhere12:41
Arbyright, so how hard would it be to patch k3b to suppress that message12:42
Arbyand are there any good reasons not to do that?12:42
pygino idea, shouldn't be too hard12:42
pygimhb, wake up ^_^12:42
pygiHobbsee, also ^_^12:42
Arbybecause the current message implies there is some critical action required12:43
Arbywhen in fact it seems to be totally redundant12:43
Arbylooks like just something that no-one got around to cleaning up yet12:44
pygiwell, usually folks don't clean up stuff like that12:44
pygiin reality nobody bothers about details12:45
Arbyhmm, honestly I find that sort of message disturbing as a user12:46
pygiI understand12:46
Arbyit implies that there is something wrong that I don't understand12:46
Arbywhich means I (wrongly) blame every subsequent problem on that thing12:46
pygihaha12:46
Arbywhich means I don't report geuine issues because I assume it's something I've done wrong12:47
Arby*genuine12:47
pygiI understand12:47
mhbpygi: back12:48
pygimhb, wb12:48
Arbyso the question remains, what, if anything, is the best thing to do?12:48
pygiI could remove the message, shouldn't be too big of a problem12:48
ArbyIMHO that would be best12:49
pygiArby, did you mail trueg?12:49
pygior was it mhb who said he'll do that :P12:49
Arbywasn't me12:49
mhbpygi: me12:49
mhbpygi: no, net yet12:50

pygiArby, file a bug pls, I can't track everything in my head, sorry12:51
pygiArby, assign it to me12:51
pygiand post a link here, I'll make Hobbsee milestone the bug12:51
Arbypygi: OK will do, biab12:51
pygiHobbsee, if we do a lot of k3b changes, we'd probably want to stop blacklist sync from debian12:52

crimsundebian/control clearly is written correctly in those respects.09:32

pygiArby, sure, thanks11:14
mhbI'd like to find out how you were able to find out when sudo reports an error message about a wrong password11:15
Arbypygi: cdrecord message does still display at k3b start up.11:16
mhbRiddell: I'm sure Tonio won't be happy about the stuff I say now, but kdesudo has a pretty bad backend, which works by counting that the descriptions won't change11:17
mhbcounting on the fact that11:17
pygiArby, I'll see what I can do11:17
pygibut meh, that means that patch is useless as well11:17

Arbypygi: some funky patching going on?11:17
pygiArby, yes11:17
Arbyoh joy :)11:18
mhbRiddell: well, stuff like "Sorry, try again."11:18
mhbRiddell: the messages sudo states11:18
Riddellmhb: kdesu is indeed complex.  it also ultimately just parses the output of sudo (or su) and hopes it won't change too11:18
Riddellit's split between kdebase and kdelibs11:18
mhbRiddell: me and RadiantFire are creating a new backend for kdesu, called SudoProcess, which is something like a SuProcess, but with all the stub stuff out11:19
=== pygi has some problems with this k3b
mhbRiddell: and optimized for sudo11:19
Riddellmhb: to solve which problem?11:19
mhbRiddell: to solve the problem of having two tools for one task11:20
mhbRiddell: two frontends, etc.11:20
Riddellpygi: I've not touched k3b in a while, you may be better asking one of the more recent maintainers (or at least someone who isn't suffering from toothache and a swolen face)11:20
pygiRiddell, that would be tonio and sealne, both not here. It's all too messy as is right now11:21
=== pygi didn't knew that somebody made k3b such as-is
pygiRiddell, I can update to 1.0.2, and create new package for later if you agree?11:21
pygiOne which'll be easier to maintain11:21
pygiso you get what you wanted, and I get a way to provide you with a better k3b in the future11:22
Riddellmhb: which two frontends?11:23
mhbRiddell: kdesu, kdesudo11:23
Riddellpygi: later is fine11:23
Riddellmhb: the only problem with kdesu is that it starts sudo to check if it really needs a password, then it starts it again to enter the password11:24
Riddell..11:24
gnomefreakdoesnt kdesudo link to kdesu as gtksu and gtksudo does?11:24
pygiRiddell, no, no .. you didn't understand. You'll get the 1.0.2 package as-is right now, and later I'll create a k3b package from scratch11:24
pygiwhich will be easier to maintain11:25
mhbRiddell: hmm11:25
Riddellmhb: since sudo remembers passwords for a given pty it never remembers the password for the first pty so on the first start it always things it needs a password11:25
pygiproblem is it will diverge from debian a lot, but ...11:25
Riddellmhb: best fix is just to fix it so it only starts sudo once (although it's non trivial as I remember, else I'd have done it ages ago)11:25
mhbRiddell: hmm11:26
Riddellpygi: oh, ok11:26
pygiRiddell, you tell me what do to, and if it's ok with you11:26
