fdovingRiddell: did you investigate the kdesudo bind-to-tty issue?00:31
* nosrednaekim pings mhb again...00:31
fdovingbug 13245600:32
ubotuLaunchpad bug 132456 in kdesudo "User account 'remembers' admin password" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13245600:32
Riddellfdoving: never had time, could try KProcess's pty method thingy, but I suspect it would end up with having to have a new password for each use00:33
RiddellI'm still not convinced its very important, sudo is ment to remember your password and X users don't care about ptys00:34
fdovingi tried, but it didn't help, still 'unknown'00:34
fdovingthat's the pty thing.00:34
fdovingKProcess::setUsePty() that is00:34
Riddellcurious00:35
fdovingi'm not convinced either. as you say it'll be one new password per pty. and that's kinda stupid.00:35
snikkerwhen i go in "systemsettings" --> display, an error message say that's impossible to load the display module... can you help me?00:36
Riddellsnikker: does displayconfig  work from the command line?00:36
snikkerRiddell: no, i've got an error... i've paste it here: http://pastebin.ca/74398800:38
* nosrednaekim suspects XGL00:38
fdovinguh.. gksudo uses 3 and 4. that is /var/run/sudo/$user/3 and 4.00:41
fdovingweird.00:41
fdoving3 that is.00:41
snikkernosrednaekim: i've installed xgl, but in feistywork fine00:42
snikkernosrednaekim: after upgrade to gusty i've got this problem.00:43
nosrednaekimsnikker: hmm yeah, it works for me in XGL, but it didn't in fiesty00:43
fdovingRiddell: gksudo isn't perfect either. kmenu -> run command -> gksudo dolphin does also create the unknown file.00:43
fdovingi'll just forget that issue for now.00:43
snikkernosrednaekim: what can i do? i must remove beryl?00:44
nosrednaekimsnikker: you could try disabling xgl and testing then.00:45
snikkernosrednaekim: do you mean xgl in xorg.conf?00:45
Riddellfdoving: I'd suspect it would, it's actually why we didn't use -H in the first place00:46
nosrednaekimsnikker: no, I mean either uninstall it or disable it with a file in .confog00:47
nosrednaekim*config00:47
fdovingRiddell: i was talking about the /var/run/sudo/$user/unknown file. the tty thing in gksudo doesn't work well unless ran from konsole, or probably some gnome-way.00:48
Riddellfdoving: oh, right00:48
snikkernosrednaekim: ok, now i try do it00:48
Riddellfdoving: suspected that too :)00:48
fdovingwell, nite.00:51

nixternaldid mich lose again?04:30

nixternalI watched the one td where to take them to 10, but it was still illinois 13, michigan 10 at that point04:30
nixternalsweet!04:30
DaSkreechnixternal: Which images?04:34
nixternallightscribe images?04:34
nixternalI made the lightscribe images04:35
DaSkreechthats the crazy burner thing?04:37
nixternalya04:47
DaSkreechI didn't know it needed specific images04:47
nixternalit doesn't need specific iso images04:55
nixternalgraphic images04:55
DaSkreechSo JPEG or PNG isn't good enough? :)04:58
nixternalit is, but I created SVGs so I can easily swap out images05:02
DaSkreechah ok05:03
DaSkreechsmart :)05:03
nixternalI want to so some really nice ones though05:05
nixternalthe only one that is tough is the Xubuntu one cuz they stuck the mouse in the middle, and you can't print in the middle of a cd :)05:05
claydohahhh lightscribe, I did only one disk so far (dapper)05:19
claydohhttp://www.claydoh.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=1905:19
DaSkreechk3b supports it?05:21
claydohI dunno, the software burned the image for me outside k3b05:21
claydohso I don't know why the mention of k3b05:21
nixternalthere is 4LS or something like that for Linux...it is hit or miss on if it works for you05:22
claydohya, Lacie has the 4L, and lightscribe.com has a simpler one05:23
nixternalthe simpler one is garbage though05:25
nixternalyou have to use their labels05:25
nixternalthey have a new template labeler which allows you to create templates, and it is free of charge05:25

Tonio_fdoving: saw your upload reguarding to kdesudo11:26
Tonio_fdoving: sudo yakuakr also creates a root owned rc file in the user profile11:27
Tonio_I don't understand that what i considered a critical bug arround kdesudo seems to be "normal" behavior with sudo :/11:27
Tonio_just done asudo yakuake and my rc file is owned by root aswell11:28
Tonio_Riddell: isn't that a sudo bug btw ?11:29
Tonio_Riddell: then make kdesudo using sudo -H would be imho a workarround for the sudo bug right ?11:29
Tonio_Riddell: btw I'll have to compare with gksu on that point, maybe kdesudo whould just act like gksu11:30
Tonio_hum gksu seems to be using sudo -h too, right11:37

nosrednaekimheh13:15
mhbnosrednaekim: hey13:18
nosrednaekimmhb hey!13:19
nosrednaekimmhb: you may be happy to hear that I am about 50% done writing a dialog frontend to the restricted-manager13:19
mhboh, that's great13:20
nosrednaekimbut I need some info on what some of the gui classes do, such as the firmware select.13:20
mhbthe firmware select dialog lets you choose a firmware file for the driver13:20
nosrednaekimdoes it need to go out to the internet?13:20
mhbit has a local file select or remote file select13:21
mhbso when the user inserts an URL, it should go and download it, that is what the Progress class is for (shows progress of the download)13:22
mhbI think13:22
nosrednaekimah ok. they have to insert a URL, I didn't want them to go browsing becausethat would require some lynx embedding ;)13:24
* nosrednaekim didn't really read the FW* classes very well13:24
nosrednaekimBut yeah, it happily enables and disables my atheros and ATI drivers :). It was dead simple thanks to the Common classes13:25
mhbnosrednaekim: do you have the code in a branch somewhere?13:26
mhbI'd like to take a look at it13:26
nosrednaekimmhb: no I don't and I have no clue how to work bazaar :)13:27
nosrednaekimi'm planning on learning during Open Week though.13:28
nosrednaekimmhb: and it has two dependencies, dialog and python-dialog. I tried to do plain ncurses,but that was getting complicated fast.13:29

Jucatonixternal: ping?15:27
* Hobbsee wonders why konversation is not translated.15:57
fdovingTonio_: yeah, the -H and using .Xauthority from the executing users home seems like a solution. I'm not 100% up2date on xauth stuff, so i'm not sure if there are alternative ways to do it.. or more secure ways. but as it's root reading i don't think it makes much difference.16:47
fdovingproblems will appear when one kdesudo to other users than root. users without read access to ~/.Xauthority of the executing user.16:49
Riddellfdoving: have you tested your patch with systemsetting and kcontrol?16:49
fdovingRiddell: systemsettings did work yesterday.16:49
fdovingRiddell: the changes won't really affect anything in those cases, as the modules connect to another x client via ICE.16:50
fdovingso one doesn't need to auth to X directly.16:50
Riddellgroovy16:51
JucatoRiddell: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/7.10-release.php#upgrade <--- shouldn't it be "Pre-released updates" instead of "Proposed updates"?16:51
fdovingRiddell: but as i just said, once you start using 'kdesudo -u someotheruser app' you might get problems, because other non-root users won't have read access to ~/.Xauthority16:52
fdovingso the solution isn't perfect.16:52
RiddellJucato: gar, I just changed that, did the string change between gutsy and feisty?16:55
fdovingbut that didn't work earlier either. so it's nothing I introduced.16:55
JucatoRiddell: someone on feisty was looking for Proposed updates and couldn't see it16:55
Jucatobut Pre-released was there instead16:55
RiddellJucato: changed back16:55
Jucatokool! thanks! :)16:56
fdovingRiddell: what do you think about dynamically adding users to the acl with xhost +si:localuser:$sudo-to-username for each kdesudo?16:59
Riddellfdoving: rather than playing with xauthority files?17:04
fdovingRiddell: yeah.17:04
Riddellfdoving: worth a shot17:05

DaSkreechWould it be possible to have a weekly updates KDE4 repo19:23
_StefanS_Tonio_: saw your mai'19:25
_StefanS_mail19:25
stdinDaSkreech: it's not guaranteed that it will even build, so that'd be difficult. and the build deps are constantly changing. so possible maybe, but extremely difficult19:26
_StefanS_Tonio_: strange thing it works here.. and enable kdm themes is preselected.19:29
DaSkreechstdin: Oh Sorry I was thiniking after 4.0 actually19:30
stdinwell, after 4.0 comes out the work on it will slow down a bit, weekly builds probably wouldn't be worth it19:31
stdinbut that depends on the speed of development from the kde folks19:31
Tonio__StefanS_: no way to make it to work for me...19:36
Tonio__StefanS_: no way to aply settings, no way to chan19:36
Tonio_change them too19:36
_StefanS_well you tested it when I made the package, right?19:36
Tonio__StefanS_: I'd say the problem is just to be able to apply, once you can do that, it should work19:36
Tonio_nope, I didn't upload so I didn't test ;)19:36
_StefanS_ah hoobsee did19:37
Tonio__StefanS_: maye there is a difference between the package and what you have locally19:37
Tonio__StefanS_: can you reinstall the package and test maybe ?19:37
_StefanS_uhm I will test on a vanilla vmware image19:37
_StefanS_probably the best way, and roll back until the bug is fixed19:37
Tonio_sure19:38
_StefanS_I cant do that now, will do it tomorrow. Have to work19:38
_StefanS_sounds as an easy fix tho19:38

stdinI can't see that not happening20:25

fdovingRiddell: i've hacked kdesudo to use xauth to automatically generate key-data for each connection, (xauth generate, man xauth for more info), it seems like the most sensible and secure solution to me. it will generate a new xauthority file with a random name, that is auto-deleted once kdesudo exits and the privileged app takes over. the session also times out if not used within 60 seconds. and the Xorg server controls that. looks cool so far. deb23:09
fdovingdid that get truncated?..23:09

fdoving looks cool so far. debdiff -> http://ubuntu.lnix.net/misc/kdesudo_debdiff_ubuntu3_dynamic_xauth.diff - deb -> http://ubuntu.lnix.net/misc/kdesudo_1.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb23:10

stdinDaSkreech: I'll probably keep building from svn after release anyway23:31
