viviersfJucato, well i get them in gnome on my other pc :(04:11
viviersfbut gnome and kde acts the same to those :(04:11
viviersfhold04:11
viviersfmaby its my fault04:11
Hobbseemanchicken: pft.04:11
manchickenI don't know about how well compiz works for Ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to be quite there yet for Kubuntu.  I get the feeling that compiz folks will be waiting for KDE4 before working too much with KDE, which I think is kinda to their detriment.04:11
Hobbseemanchicken: we like our cds stable, thanks.04:11
Jucatoviviersf: you are seeing these menu items in GNOME's menu?04:11
manchickenHobbsee: Well if compiz folks were actually focusing on KDE3 stability, I'm sure it'd be much better.04:12
Hobbseemanchicken: kde4 has composite, so...04:12
Hobbseemanchicken: oh, true.  but they dont, so...04:12
manchickenHobbsee: Well I'd also like every GNOME user who uses compiz that claims KDE has hard-to-use configs to now stand up and apologize, as compiz is ridiculously difficult to configure.04:13
Hobbseehehe04:13
viviersfJucato, yes, and i just checked the .desktop files and they are set to show :(04:13
manchickenI used it for a while, and it does seem mostly stable.04:13
Hobbseeyeah.  it's a sort of kde + gconf scenario, which makes it a pain04:13
manchickenI stopped using it for its glaring omissions of functionality more than its stability.04:13

manchickenThis concept of "viewports" needs to be done away with.04:13
manchickenWe've already got virtual desktops.  We should stick with what is already there and what is already supported.04:14
Jucatobtw, "workspaces" = GNOME's virtual desktops... but the whole workspace -> viewport -> virtual desktop mess is what's driving me against compiz/beryl04:14
=== bddebian [n=bdefrees@63.81.56.182] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Jucatobut in Compiz+GNOME I think viewport and workspace work together, 1 workspace = 1 viewport. not so with KDE04:15
manchickenJucato: Really?  I was under the impression that a viewport was its own thing entirely.04:16
manchickenJucato: It makes more sense if what you say is the case.04:16
=== jjesse_ is now known as jjesse
bddebianHeya04:16
Jucatoin KDE I think it was 1 viewport = 4 virtual desktops... so if you had 4 viewports (since you'd think they translate to virtual desktops) you'd have 16 of those things...04:17
Jucatobut still 4 viewports/faces of the cube..04:17
Jucatoit's a bit confusing iirc...04:17
manchickenJucato: No, in KDE 1 viewport is independent of desktops.  You can have 8 viewports if you like.04:22
manchickenIt's X number of viewports on N number of desktops.  Each desktop has X number of viewports.04:22
manchickenAnd it makes no freaking sense.04:22
Jucatoor something like that :)04:22
manchickencompiz won't manage the virtual desktops.04:22
manchickenJust the viewports.04:22
manchickenIt needs to just get rid of viewports and stick with virtual desktops.04:23
Jucatoneither does beryl afaik...04:23
manchickenI think Beryl is being abandoned.04:23
manchickenIt's "compiz-fusion" now.04:23
Hobbseemanchicken: they merged, rather than abandoning04:23
Jucatohehe same banana :)04:23
Jucatothey both don't "Just work" with KDE04:24
Hobbseetrue.  but the fire is cool!04:24
manchickenAnd compiz-fusion lacks some very nice functionality that kwin has that I'm just not happy to give up.04:24
manchickenHobbsee: For about 10 minutes :)04:24
Hobbseemanchicken: for longer than taht :P04:24
manchickenHobbsee: And then again when you're showing it to someone else :)04:24
marseillai_Riddell: is there a way to build kde4base for feisty on PPA? if i set release in changelog to feisty it fails with build dependency missing. and if I set release to feisty-changelog it fails due to "PPA uploads must be for the RELEASE pocket." So my question is : How did you do to make it build????04:27
Hobbseemarseillai_: i thought i said to ask cprov that?04:28
manchickenI wish KDE4 were in a state where I could start using it more extensively.04:28
Hobbseemarseillai_: he would have uploaded it as feisty to ppa, had it all build there, and reuploaded it with proper versioning to feisty-backports, i expect04:28
Jucatomaybe beta3 manchicken...04:28
Jucatobut most devs are able to use the basics I think... running a full KDE 4 session...04:29
marseillai_Hobbsee: it doesn't build with feisty04:29
=== Jucato will try that next week.. but has some issues with user accounts :)

manchickenRiddell: Were you present when mhb and I were talking about adept the other day?06:34
=== Jucato was about to sleep.. now has to wait for the reply :)
Riddellmanchicken: don't think so06:36
manchickenRiddell: We were waxing philosophical about how adept seems to be having trouble keeping up with our needs, and how it might be a neat idea to start keeping our eyes open for something that might work better while still working Adept as best we can.06:37
manchickenI think the big thing we both agreed on is that we would like to see something like update-manager for Kubuntu.06:38
Riddellsure, if a kde 4 port of adept doesn't appear soonish that'll be a necessity anyway06:39
Riddellbut it needs pykde 4 with embedded konsole first06:40
Riddell(pykde 4 is in svn now if anyone wants to try it out)06:40
manchickenWell I'm not sure if we really should do too much waiting.06:41
manchickenAdept is so complicated for folks to maintain that it's simply not being maintained like it really needs to be.06:41
Riddellit's blocked on pykde is all06:42
manchickenEvery time I need to do something in it it's like 4 hours to figure out where I need to make the change, and then a loop of 5 minutes to make my change, 5 minutes to build and then another hour to determine why it crashed.  That goes on for 3 or 4 tries, and then I put out a patch.06:42
manchickenNot to mention that it took me several days to figure out how it worked the first time around.06:43
manchickenWe also need some documentation for libapt, libept, and the other libs involved.06:43
RiddellI suspect python-apt isn't much better documented06:44
manchickenBecause libapt is a freakin' maze of confusion with no sign of error handling.06:44
manchickenI don't think it is either.06:44
manchickenmvo is the living breathing documentation, and not much else is known outside his head or the folks who directly work on it.06:45
manchickenSource code is great, but it's no substitute for well-done documentation.06:45
manchickenQt docs and KDE docs are incredible, and it saves me so much time to be able to go there rather than swim in header files.06:45

Riddellit's crap and we stopped using if after hoary?06:49
manchickenheh06:49
manchickenNice.06:49
=== Jucato thought kynaptic became adept
Riddellthey're unrelated06:49
Jucatowhatever happened to Smart PM btw?06:49
Riddellnobody seems too interested in changing away from apt (or rpm for other distros)06:49
Jucatoheh :)06:50
manchickenI used to use smart with SuSE.  I didn't much care for it.06:50
Jucatoah kapture -> adept iirc!06:50
=== Jucato researches
Riddellthat's the one06:51
mendredhi Riddell a question..why must kubuntu have kdefied versions of the tools that ubuntu uses? Can't it merely reuse the same ones?06:51
Riddellmendred: because we're a KDE distro06:51
Jucato:)06:52
Riddellfor the most part the tools do share backends, just different GUI parts06:52
Jucatoand we're trying not to depend too much on gnome/gtk libs right?06:52
Riddellyes06:52
Riddellskim and amarok let us down there06:52
Jucatohehe06:52
=== manchicken likes amarok.
Jucatogtkpod is unchallenged I guess :)06:53
=== manchicken wants amarok to freakin' support Jamendo.com already.
Riddelllibgpod yes06:53
manchickenRiddell: Oh, does amarok use libgpod?06:53
Riddellyes06:53
manchickenDidn't know.06:53

ScottKmhb: Why would they be upset?08:08
=== ScottK knows little of this.
mhbmarseillai: I'm not really against it when it comes to the technical level. I actually am kind of inclined to have tabs in Dolphin.08:09
mhbScottK: there were several flamewars about that. Basically, some KDE folks think Dolphin should be simple, which means no tabs.08:10
mhbScottK: Konqueror should be for those who need tabs, that's the official explanation.08:10
manchickenmhb: I don't want to piss the KDE folks off, but I think we should make changes that we think are necessary.  They don't have to include things if they don't want to, but we're maintaining Kubuntu, not KDE.08:10
marseillaimhb: the problem is : the dev don't want it, and if no one take the risk to offer it to user or to test it he will never has his chance. We could at least make another package name dolphin-tab or else ?08:10
ScottKSounds like someone needs to switch to Gnome if you ask me.08:10
manchickenheh08:11
mhbScottK: I don't really take sides at this. I think making KDE folks angry with Kubuntu might do more harm than having tabs as default.08:11

KuhrscherRiddell: They got implemented by Launchpad, so it should be easy to remove them this way too?09:15
Riddellit would need changes in rosetta, and it would need to act differently on kde .po files (and it has no way of knowing what a kde .po file is)09:15
KuhrscherRiddell: I think Rosetta is able to differnciate between gnome and kde apps.09:15

KuhrscherRiddell: For kde apps, the launchpad translators are just "name + mail address" for gnome apps they consist in "name + launchpad account" since Gnome is able to handle urls in the translator credits.09:17

=== serzholino [n=serzholi@16x.zp.ua] has left #kubuntu-devel []
KuhrscherRiddell: Is this just my subjective and more and more disappointed impression or have i18n issues in general a very low priority for Kubuntu?09:21
KuhrscherSorry, I don't wanted to sound harsh ...09:22
RiddellKuhrscher: i18n in general is pretty important (although I often miss problems being an English speaker), this paticular issue doesn't seem like the largest of our worries for gutsy though09:22
KuhrscherRiddell: No but there are much more i18n issues out there no one cares about...09:23
Riddellthere are a lot more bugs out there :)09:24
KuhrscherI know, but is it really necessary that for example the adept translation is broken since this app exists?09:25

Kuhrschermhb: Do you know the problem around this translator credits?10:11
Kuhrschermhb: Or better have you seen the translator credits in Gutsy atm?10:12
mhbyes. Launchpad wants to put them somewhere, but they look ugly in that dialog. Also, there are lots of dupe names there.10:13
Kuhrschermhb: Yes, and they add it even if the mail adress is missing, and they add all the guys woh just added an unused suggestion...10:14
Kuhrschermhb: Personally I don't think that it is necessary to add the downstream translators at all ( I'm alsa a downstream translator). But if we really have to do it, we should do it in a way which doesn't involves the upstream translator credits.10:15
=== marcel [n=marcel@lt3.xs4all.nl] has joined #kubuntu-devel
mhbKuhrscher: right. The problem is, I do not like the idea of having KDE patches just to fix Launchpad problems.10:16
mhbKuhrscher: that's the problem with closed-source ... we cannot fix it at the right place :(10:17
Kuhrschermhb: I totally agree, what else could we do?10:17
Kuhrschermhb: Do you want to leave the credits broken?10:17
Kuhrschermhb: We already patch kdelibs to add some comment about launchpad... Would it really harm if we patch it some more just to keep the old appearance?10:18

coreymon77how do i connect?10:29
mhbcoreymon77: hmm, I think it is explained there somewhere10:29
coreymon77mhb: io address?10:29
coreymon77ip*10:30
mhbcoreymon77: it opens the web server on an exotic port, so it's 128.1.1.200:1234, where 1234 is the port number10:30
mhband the first part is IP, yes10:30
Kuhrschermhb: Since Danilos told me that it would be possible to handle the translator credit as proposed in the bug, I don't really beleave that Rosetta cannot see if a package belongs to kde or not. An if it is possible to see this, we could switch off the addition of the launchpad translators and "suggestors" for the KDE apps too...10:30
Kuhrschermhb: At least until we have a better solution for this issue.10:31
mhbKuhrscher: I guess that's a good approach. However, I cannot edit Launchpad to do this, you have to bug the Canonical employees who can :o)10:32
Kuhrschermhb: I could do this, but it would be nice if you could support me with bugging them :-)10:33
Kuhrschermhb: Just to have a chance...10:34

mhbKuhrscher: I bug them about a ton of things (last time about the plural forms) ... :o) I also think it is finally up to them if they would implement it or not. Community members cannot force them.10:35
coreymon77mhb: im also having problems getting nfs installed on the kubuntu box in the first place10:35
coreymon77mhb: help me out with that10:35
mhbcoreymon77: right, that is IP.10:35
mhbcoreymon77: if you want to access the server, you have to specify the port10:36
mhbcoreymon77: so you write something like http://192.168.1.3:8001/10:36
mhbcoreymon77: the "listen port" is one part of the "New server" dialog, you must have noticed that while clicking "Next".10:37

coreymon77smb, ssh, ftp, nfs?10:40
