jjessemorning Jucato02:42
Jucatoevening jjesse!02:44
nixternaljjesse: Hardy is all yours for documentation :)02:46
* Jucato waves to nixternal :)02:46
nosrednaekimheh.02:46
* Jucato waves to Jucato02:46
jjessenixternal: yeah way?02:46
jjessenixternal: you leaving?02:46
Jucatonoooo!02:47
Jucato:(02:47
* n8k99 waves02:47
jjessedid i miss something?02:47
nixternalheck no I am not leaving02:47
nixternalRiddell owes me a beer :)02:48
jjesseah was just going to say.... you better not leave02:48
nixternalman, I am way to involved to ever leave....plus I don't ever see myself falling out of love with Linux...nor this community either02:49
nixternalespecially KDE :)02:49
jjessei was going to say02:49
nixternalI told the Gnome Users Group today that I would rather use Windows ME than Gnome...they didn't like that02:49
jjesseanyways i get to another book this go around, version 3 of the official ubuntu book :)02:49
* nixternal still thinks we need out own book and not 1 little chapter02:50
nixternals/out/our02:50
nixternalI have contemplated writing one, GFDL, and letting the world have it for free02:50
nixternalmaybe if I can find a little time, I will do so one day02:50
Jucatonixternal: unfortunately, our own book would probably be repeating half of the ubuntu book...02:50
jjessenixternal: i've made each chapter longer and longer :)02:51
nixternalwell, I can honestly say, I don't like the "Official" Ubuntu book for 2 reasons, 1) nothing in it for me or anybody else who doesn't use Gnome, and 2) Kubuntu only has one chapter02:51
jjessebut at least it is more current then any of the other ubuntu books02:51
jjessethey are all edgy or dapper02:51
jjessemost dapper02:51
nixternalI think the "ubuntu hacks" book keeps getting updated as well...it seems to be a pretty popular book here locally02:52
jjessebe right back putting wife to bed02:52
nixternalman, the jokes I had for that one02:52
jjesse:)02:52
jjesseis tonigth the night to change the clocks?02:52
Jucatowhen were those 2 books first released btw?02:52
nixternalubuntu hacks was the first I believe02:53
Jucatolast year?02:53
nixternaland then the Ubuntu Bible02:53
jjesseubuntu hacks came out first02:53
jjesseafk02:53
Jucatothanks...02:53
nixternalhehe02:53
* Jucato estimates how long it took for the books to arrive here...02:53
Jucatoin local book stores... about a year :)02:53
nixternalJucato: what do you think, you think Kubuntu needs their own book?02:54
nixternalI think we should do an online version, and maybe setup a Lulu release so people can purchase a print of it if they want02:54
Jucato <Jucato> nixternal: unfortunately, our own book would probably be repeating half of the ubuntu book...02:54
nixternalyou think so?02:54
nixternaloh, I thought jjesse said that02:55
nixternaldamn J's in names02:55
nixternal:)02:55
JucatoI mean for the half that doesn't rely so much on KDE-specific info02:55
nixternalthere is only 1 chapter with KDE-specific info though02:56
Jucatowe need a whole section there then :)02:56
Jucatoor a group of chapters02:56
nixternalEvolution, Gaim, Pidgin, Nautilus, and the rest of the stuff, is way different than the KDE counterparts02:56
nixternalerr, Gaim and Pidgin are the same now :)02:56
Jucatohehe :)02:56
nixternaldunno if I did that accidentally of if I wanted to add a / instead of a , in between them02:57
Jucatomaybe both :)02:57
Jucatohow was the party btw?02:57
nixternalthe reason I think we should have our own book..is because people are complaining that the "User's Guide" is gone02:57
DaSkreechnixternal: I don't like that. I thought ME was labled a hazard to babies by the UN?02:57
nixternalso was Gnome02:58
nixternalthe party was busy02:58
nixternalI got online to talk to raphink for like 2 minutes02:58
jjesseback02:58
nixternalfront02:58
jjessewow can't believe the indianss are loosing02:59
Jucatoside02:59
jjesseleft02:59
Jucatothat's a side too though...03:00
Jucatoalthough I should have said right03:00
jjessehrmm i think i'm heading off to city of heros for a bit03:00
* Jucato ncurses US-made MMORPG's that never hit this country...03:01
Hobbseeheh03:01
Hobbseeobtain it03:01
n8k99Jucato you should try http://www.tribalwars.net/1176610.html with the rest of teh ubuntu gang03:02
n8k99on world 903:02
Jucatobig question is how? :)03:02
Jucatooh yeah saw that one. gonna look into it03:02
n8k99in a browser03:02
Jucatothe "how" was for Hobbsee's suggest :)03:02
DaSkreechnixternal: No Gaim is very different from pigin03:03
DaSkreechPidgin03:03
n8k99oh03:03
Jucatoalthough Guild Wars was sold here.. weird...03:03
HobbseeJucato: the usual ways of obtaining things...03:03
* n8k99 whimpers a bit03:03
Jucato./me is unusual03:03
Hobbseei'm thinking pidgin's actually better than gaim, incidently03:03
Jucatohm.. I just tried to execute me03:03
Jucato!openweek03:03
ubotuopenweek is Ubuntu is hosting a series of introductory sessions for people who want to join the Ubuntu community, which all takes place in a week. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek for schedules, logs, and instructions.03:03
HobbseeJucato: TPB, mininova....03:03
JucatoHobbsee: lol!03:04
Jucato*that* way :)03:04
Hobbseeuh, yse :)03:04
Jucatobut you have to pay (once) to "legally" play it heheh03:04
Jucatooh well03:04
coreymon77???03:04
coreymon77what did i miss03:04
* Jucato looks for the Hip Hop Abs.03:04
coreymon77what are we talking about03:04
HobbseeJucato: ah, darn.03:04
Jucatoanything under the sun or moon03:04
* nosrednaekim registers his first branch!03:04
n8k99chmod +x Jucato03:05
Jucato./me03:05
Jucatostill doesn't work :)03:05
HobbseeJucato: i'm of teh opinion that if they arent shipping it in my country, or they're shipping it at an unreasonable price compared to the rest of the world, the legalities matter less :)03:05
nixternalrm -rf ./me03:05
nixternalerr03:05
Jucatohahah03:05
nixternals/\.\///03:05
nixternalmuhahaha03:05
nixternalhe rm -rf'd himself03:06
n8k99Hobbsee and her Hobbsean view of economics!03:06
Hobbseen8k99: yeah, well.03:06
Jucatothank goodness for backups! :)03:06
n8k99that was a reference to Hobbs, in case03:06
Hobbseen8k99: some of the games are ~2x as much here as they are in the US, for eg.  and our dollar isnt that low.03:06
n8k99no but ours is, now03:07
Hobbsee(and are now buggy, and contain securom and other such crap, in which case obtaining it is the only sane option)03:07
Jucatolovely... OpenWeek is 11pm to 5am :)03:07
n8k99not arguing with you03:07
* Hobbsee finds it vaguely amusing that obtained copies run fine, yet properly bought copies have trouble running, due to the copy protection.03:08
nixternaloh shoot, when does that start?03:08
nosrednaekimnixternal: I see you are signed up...03:08
* Jucato loves the "subtitle" of tribal wars... "middle age browser game"03:08
nosrednaekimlol03:08
nixternalya, for 2 talks03:08
Jucatonixternal: Oct 2203:08

nixternalwhew, so I have a few days03:08
JucatoI will have to wake up extra early to catch nixternal's Kubuntu talk03:09
Hobbseehm, should start sticking LongPointyStick in there03:09
nixternalumm, tonio is doing the one on the 23rd I think03:09
nixternalat least I hope he is03:09
n8k99on that note Hobbsee, its amusing that obtained copies of movies do not have teh stupid FBI warnings or tons of previews03:09
Hobbseen8k99: indeed!03:09
Jucatonixternal: oh it's still you03:09
Jucatoso that means. 3 talks03:09
nixternalno way, Tonio is doing one, and I think he is doing the Tuesday talk03:09
Hobbseen8k99: also things with hobbsean logic - obtaining the other half of series, where they only show the first half in au - and never show the next lot.  or show it 6 months later.03:10
Jucatowell better confirm w/ him asap.. tuesday is tomorrow :)03:10
Jucatook time to "work"03:10
nosrednaekimJucato: lol...umm actually its the day after tommorrow..03:10

DaSkreechHobbsee: Anything that gives me TUI for multiIM chat has my vote03:14

Hobbseeah03:14
Hobbseenice!03:14

nosrednaekimwhat about an OLPC?03:15
nosrednaekimtoo bad you aren't in the US03:16
JucatoOLPC? compared to Eee PC? O.o03:16
nosrednaekimJucato:well,its got some interesting features,like a touchscreen...03:16
Jucatobut but but...03:17
Hobbseeah yes, teh OLPC's03:17
DaSkreechHobbsee: Pidgin has a command line interface03:17
nosrednaekimfinch03:17
* Jucato will still go for the Eee PC.. doesn't want/need a "dumbed down" laptop...03:17
HobbseeDaSkreech: ah yes.  i just havent figured out how to use it :)03:17
nosrednaekimgood luck getting one... they are selling like hot cakes03:17
Jucatohave they even been released yet?03:18
nosrednaekimfirst shipment in Taiwan was gone in 5 hours03:18
Jucatoyeah I have time.. next year.. besides I know that the Eee PC will be available locally. the OLPC wouldn't03:18
DaSkreechHobbsee: It's called finch03:19
HobbseeDaSkreech: i know that, but i couldnt figure how to actually log into it03:19
DaSkreechHooray I can now crack Windows vista passwords :)03:19
DaSkreechman ?03:20
Hobbseeyeah.  glanced at it, figured i'd see teh GUI first03:20
DaSkreechJucato: you'll be happy to know the Suse KDE4 cd is quite usable03:21
JucatoDaSkreech: already installed last week03:21
JucatoI still have to get around to using it03:21
DaSkreechJucato: the ylive cd? didn't it just coe out?03:22
DaSkreechcome03:22
Jucatoah no. not the live cd03:22
DaSkreechYeah it's sweet03:22
* Jucato is suddenly no longer interested to get the live cd :)03:22
* yuriy wants a konqui halloween costume03:25
yuriysounds like FOSSCamp is shaping up to be interesing, might just have to go03:25
nosrednaekimhaha03:26
coreymon77im excited about leopard03:26
coreymon77friday!!!03:26
coreymon77anyways03:26
Jucatoleopaaard :)03:27
coreymon77Hobbsee: back to my non existant email address03:27
* Jucato remembers the novell commercials03:27
Hobbseecoreymon77: right, yes03:27
yuriywhy do i need to create an account to register? it's not linked to the launchpad account?03:27
coreymon77Hobbsee: so, how do i fix that03:28
Hobbseewhat's your LP id?03:28
coreymon77same as all my other ids03:28
coreymon77coreymon7703:28
Hobbseecoreymon77: what's your primary email on launchpad set to?03:30
Hobbsee(it appears to be set to nothing)03:31
Jucatounless he set it to not be shown?03:32
Hobbseepoint03:33
Hobbseei dont understand why people would do that, but OK03:33
Hobbseeespecially when other ways of contact are there03:33
Jucatoprivacy?03:34
* Jucato shrugs03:34
Hobbseeyeah, but if you're uncontactable, what's the point of being involved?03:34
Jucato:)03:35
Jucatough!!! hate it when people complain/wonder about broken systems when they're the ones who friggin broke it!03:37
n8k99somepeople like being uncomfortable03:37
coreymon77Jucato: which i did03:38
Jucatocoreymon77: well not you this time...03:38
coreymon77Hobbsee: once my ubuntu.com email is set up03:38
coreymon77Hobbsee: ill set that one to be visible03:38
coreymon77Hobbsee: id rather all *buntu related things be done through that email, rather than my personal email03:39
coreymon77Hobbsee: even though it ends up forwarding to the same place03:39
Jucatoum... I don't think you can use the ubuntu.com email in LP03:39
coreymon77what do you mean03:39
coreymon77i set that as an email03:39
Jucatothat will break ubuntu.com's link to your real email03:40
coreymon77it will?03:40
Jucatoafaik, unless it has changed03:40
coreymon77well then what is the point of having it03:40
Jucatothe @ubuntu.com redirect uses what's your current e-mail in LP03:40
Jucatothe point is you can put up that e-mail address everywhere else03:41
Jucatoyou can even put it in your homepage details03:41
Jucatoin LP03:41
coreymon77Jucato: thats not what i mean03:41
coreymon77Jucato: my primary email will stay the sam03:41
coreymon77e03:41
coreymon77Jucato: ill just add the ubuntu.com email as a secondary and only set that one to be visible03:41
coreymon77Jucato: wouldnt that work?03:41
Jucatothat I don't know03:42
coreymon77as long as i keep my primary email set the same03:42
coreymon77it should work03:42
Hobbseen8k99: indeed, but that doesnt help when i want to email all members of the team, etc.03:43
coreymon77Hobbsee: so, about getting the email set up03:43
Hobbseeor a whole bunch of people telling them that applying for membership for ~kubuntu-members is not enough - they actually have to come to a meeting03:43
Hobbseeso they sit there, until i, or someoen else, throws them off.03:43
n8k99oh right of course03:43
n8k99oh question just popped into my head03:43
n8k99if I have been consistently representing Ubuntu at the UN for the last year03:44
HobbseeJucato: you shouldnt use the @ubuntu/@kubuntu address as teh default - but they may have fixed that now.03:44
n8k99do you think I'd have a good case for membership?03:44
Hobbseen8k99: no idea :)03:44
n8k99ok03:44
coreymon77n8k99: give it a try03:45
coreymon77n8k99: i did03:45
coreymon77n8k99: and look what happened03:45
n8k99oh right03:45
JucatoHobbsee: I think what coreymon77 meant was to add some other secondary e-mail addresses, keep the primary address intact, then only set that secondary address as the visible one03:45
coreymon77Jucato: exactly03:46
coreymon77Hobbsee: we can get @kubuntu.com addresses?03:47
coreymon77Hobbsee: because if thats the case, id rather get that than a @ubuntu.com adress03:47
JucatoI think both work actually03:47
jjessedon't you get an @kubuntu one as soon as you become a member?03:47
Hobbseejjesse: yes03:47
HobbseeJucato: right, yeah03:48
coreymon77oh, so mine works?03:48
Hobbseecoreymon77: we dont own kubuntu.com, so no.03:48
jjessesure probablly does03:48
Jucato@kubuntu.org03:48
coreymon77oh03:48
coreymon77that03:48
coreymon77so i have coreymon77@kubuntu.org as an email adress03:48
coreymon77which forwards to my primary03:48
jjessecorrect03:48
coreymon77lets try03:49
jjessewhatever is your primary in launchpad03:49
Hobbseecoreymon77: theoretically, yes.03:49
* Hobbsee notes that she hasnt gotten a rejection email yet03:49
* Jucato needs to setup a user support schedule to follow very strictly03:51
coreymon77Hobbsee: i got the email03:51
Hobbseecoreymon77: then it's working.03:51
coreymon77Hobbsee: however, i dont know what adress it came through03:52
coreymon77ku or u03:52
ScottKLook in the header, you'll be able to tell.03:52
* Hobbsee sent an email to both, but the headers will tell you03:52
* Hobbsee wonders, when trying to debug possible-non-existant email addresses, why they don't try sending it mail first, before coming and asking someone else to help them.03:52
coreymon77Hobbsee: ive tried that03:53
coreymon77Hobbsee: whenever i try sending myself an email03:54
coreymon77i never get it back03:54
coreymon77Hobbsee: try sending something to only the ku adress03:54
Hobbseewhy?03:54
coreymon77Hobbsee: i dont know03:54
Hobbseesent03:54
Jucatowhat email account were you using to send to the @ubuntu.com addresss?03:54
Jucatosometimes I can't send myself an e-mail if I use the same account (my gmail to my gmail)03:55
Hobbseegmail gets a bit funny about sending yourself mail, iirc03:55
Jucatoyeah. so i use my other 2 mail accounts03:55
coreymon77yes03:56
coreymon77im using the gmail one to do it03:56
Jucatothat would explain it then03:56
coreymon77anyways03:56
coreymon77it worked03:56
coreymon77ill add the kubuntu.org adress to lp03:56
Jucatoyay! (I think)03:56
* Jucato goes out to buy some sanity...03:57
Hobbseehhe03:57
Hobbseefind me some03:57
coreymon77oh03:58
coreymon77is it possible to only set one of my emails as visible?03:58
coreymon77or is it all or nothing03:59
* Hobbsee would suggest for those sort of questions, one should "just try it", rather than asking, particularly based on the fact that our emails seem to be obviously public anyway04:00
Hobbsee"does the LP UI let me do this?" "how about you go and look"04:01
Jucatoaaah! mt.dew induced sanity04:09
Jucatoor better yet, #launchpad ? :)04:10
HobbseeJucato: i'm still there, and the response of "use your brain, have a look" still applies thre too04:11
* Jucato schedules an Adept bug triaging day04:27
Hobbseeah yes, adept04:31
HobbseeJucato: htey plan to decide what to do about that at UDS04:31
Jucatopolish and bug fixing is all I can think about right now... given specially that we're shorthanded on people working on it...04:32
Jucatohm.. although I'm wondering if we can fully integrate software-properties-kde into Adept...04:32
HobbseeJucato: i suspect it needs a rewrite - it's mostly unmaintainable.04:37
Jucatothat's the hardest part...04:38
* Jucato would love to start reading about APT API if there were any easy docs to read :)04:39
Hobbseeapt isnt bad, iirc04:40
DaSkreechIs Ubuntu going to start using diffs for the sources soon ?04:41
JucatoHobbsee: jsgotangco mentioned last night that there was once a proposal to redo the UI for g-a-i... that would require us to update Adept Installer as well04:42
* Jucato is not fond of that little bugger04:42
HobbseeDaSkreech: ...?04:42
Hobbseea) where did you hear that?  b) what do you mean?04:42
Jucatoyou mean like deltas?04:42
DaSkreechThey had a version of deb in Debian about a year a go I thnk that would pull down a diff instead of a full reload04:43
DaSkreechYeah04:43
Hobbseeso are you talking about diffs for sources, or diffs for binaries?04:43
Hobbseediffs for sources already get done, for the most part04:43
DaSkreechReally?04:43
Jucatodiff.gz right?04:43
Hobbsee.dsc and .diff.gz, yes.04:43
DaSkreechdoesn't feel like it04:43
Jucato...04:44
HobbseeJucato: effectively, yes.  you can keep the tarball, and download the .dsc and .diff.gz, unpack it, and get the new source04:44
Jucatodpkg-source -x *.dsc04:44
Hobbseeand those arent exactly big.04:44
DaSkreechStill takes forever to fetch updates04:44
Jucatoshe did say source diffs04:44
DaSkreechoh sorry I meant source.lists04:44
HobbseeDaSkreech: methinks you dont undersatnd the difference between sources and binaries.  in your original thing, you said sources.04:44
Hobbseeoh right, which is totally different.04:44
Hobbseeunsure why we dont rsync them, instead of wgetting them, actually.04:45
Jucatodoes apt support that?04:45
Hobbseenot sure, tbh.04:45
Jucatofor apt-get update I mean04:45
Hobbseethe lists?  unsure.  wouldnt be that hard to implement, i expect04:45
Jucatothat could be one reason why04:45
DaSkreechIt does in Debian04:45
* Hobbsee really suspects that it doesnt.04:46
* Jucato thinks apt only uses http or ftp04:46
Hobbseenot all the mirrors seem to support rsync, so..04:47
DaSkreechLongPointyStick: http://sheldoncode.blogspot.com/2007/10/opensuse-for-day-or-few-hours.html06:01
* manchicken hopes that there's a fix for his kmix not working well with ALSA problem in the repos...06:03
manchickenAlas, there is not.06:03
manchickenI don't get this at all.06:03
manchickenI don't know what's up with my volume control thing.06:06
manchickenIf I go into kmix and change any of the channel volumes from within the mixer, things are fine.06:06
manchickenIf I click kmix's icon in the tray and I get the volume slider, I get no change.  If I use the hotkeys the kmilo (or whatever it is) uses, I can only get mute to work by changing the master channel in kmix.06:07
manchickenBut I can't get kmilo keys to change the volume at all.06:07
manchickenI'm gonna try wiping those configs.  brb06:17
manchickenNope, that didn't do it.06:19
manchickenThis is confusing...06:19

serzholinoamarok full of "BROKEN TRANSLATION Track played once", "BROKEN TRANSLATION Single" and so on08:45
serzholinoon which component i should file bugreport?08:46
DaSkreechAmarok I guess08:52
Lord_Cerberdont know if i should ask here- after gutsy update k3b application hangs up with "kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )" when just loading splash screen. Where can i ask about problem?08:56
serzholinoDaSkreech: same problem with akregator, adept_notifier08:58
DaSkreechAh Well .. .just those three?08:59
serzholinolooks like09:00
serzholinokmail is ok09:02
DaSkreechWell you can file under those three09:03
DaSkreech If you find more then come back may be something else09:03
serzholinook, thanks09:03
serzholinomaybe kmail was fully translated upstream and does not include translations from rosetta09:03

Jucatogood luck and have fun! :)09:37
WaltzingAlongJucato: yeah it kind of feels that way. search youtube for kubuntu compiz or such, find little; search for ubuntu compiz find lots; maybe there can be a select set of people who get to gnu/linux based distros due to the hype about pretty effects in ubuntu then switch to kubuntu since they like kde instead; perhaps with each release ubuntuK seems as complete as ubuntuG09:37

fdovingRiddell: did you get my message from last night about the dynamic xauth generating debdiff for kdesudo?19:51
_StefanS_hey fdoving19:54
fdovinghey stefans.19:54
_StefanS_do you have problems with kdmtheme too ?19:54
fdovingwhat kind of problems?19:54

fdovingRiddell: nevermind all the whining, looks like it doesn't work as i want it to just yet. i'll get back to you when it does.19:59
fdoving_StefanS_: i can try to reproduce and investigate in a few.20:00
_StefanS_would be nice20:00
manchickenIt seems that there's a nasty runaway process that is just killing my machine's performance...20:04
fdovingmanchicken: look for strigi20:04
nixternalRiddell: should I do a write up for each distro, or a write up about both distros?20:05
manchickenI see no strigi, but I see several /bin/sh procs running as root.20:05
fdovinghum.20:05
fdovingcheck their /proc/ entries?20:06
yuriyi'll be the first to propose that manchicken's machine has been hax0red20:06
fdovingenvironment and cmdline maybe?20:06
manchickenIt's beagle.20:07
fdovingbeagle is nice.20:07
fdovingi'm very happy with beagle and kerry.20:07
fdovingresource-hog like any desktop-search-thing, but the best i've tried so far.20:07
manchickenI just don't understand why it needs to kill my machine.20:08
fdovinggood question.20:08
manchickenI just niced it to 19.20:08
manchickenSee if that helps.20:09
manchickenAt first it seemed like a touchpad issue.20:09
fdovingstrange thing it isn't niced to something low-pri already.20:09
manchickenBut it is becoming apparent that it's something killing performance.20:09

xipietotecI believe the kde4 packages in universe are broken20:26
stdinbroken how?20:31
xipietotecstdin, kde4addons conflicts with base, also installing base does not create a /apps/kdm/sessions folder.20:32
stdinxipietotec: can you post an apt-get log to pastebin?20:33
yuriybtw the description for kde4base has a typo20:34
yuriy"it offers no binary compatibility guarantee and will no help users."20:34
_StefanS_xipietotec: you need kdebase-workspace aswell20:35
xipietotecstdin, http://rafb.net/p/J4GH5A92.html20:35
xipietotec_StefanS_, there is no kde4base-workspace, so I need to install kdebase-workspace out of the normal kde packages?20:36
_StefanS_its not a normal kde package AFAIK, its KDE420:37
stdinxipietotec: "kdebase-workspace" is a kde4 package20:37
xipietotecthats kinda crap naming convention, it does not show up in synaptic when you search for kde4.20:38
stdinit's description is "core workspace applications for KDE 4 testing"20:39
stdinseems clear enough20:39
xipietotecyeah, but it doesn't show up if you search for kde4 but all the other packages do (including a description search20:40
stdinsearch for "kde 4" then20:41
nixternalRiddell:  Kubuntu includes the last KDE 3.5.8, making it the first distribution to release the 8th maintenance update to the KDE 3.5 branch.  <-- that is correct right? :)20:42
Riddellyep20:43
* nixternal presses submit20:43
nixternalRiddell: in the queue waiting for you!20:43
fdovingRiddell: how do you feel about having kdesudo tempfiles laying arouind in /tmp/ - there seems to be no way to remove the files from within kdesudo code, as kdesudo exits once the real command starts. - looks like it already creates iceauth files, and it also looks like gksu makes tempdirectories with xauthority files in them.20:45
fdovingwould probably make sense to put them in the kde-username temp dir.20:46
fdovingthe xauth cookies will timeout within the X server after 60 seconds if not used. so it's no risk that i can see.20:46
fdovingfor the same reason we need a new file for every kdesudo run.20:47
_StefanS_fdoving: sounds good20:48
stdinRiddell: do you think it'd be a good idea to tell people to make sure they have software-properties-kde installed in the upgrade instructions ?20:50
daSkreechI do20:51
yuriyi'm trying to run a kde4 session, and it can't find "libkpty.so"20:55
stdinyuriy: make sure you installed with "sudo apt-get install kde4base-dev kdebase-workspace"20:55
yuriyah i guess i was missing the first one, thanks20:56
yuriyi've had gutsy for 3 months, and constant upgrading doesn't seem to keep kde4 intact20:57
Riddellstdin: added to the upgrade screenshots21:30
nixternalwhat to talk about tomorrow?21:30
nixternalI don't think Tonio is going to be around...I think he was going to do one of the kubuntu talks...or was that Lure?21:30
stdinRiddell: great :)21:31
Riddelltonio was talking about the thursday one21:31
nixternalOK21:31
nixternalI think I am going to feel out the audience first...I would like to hopefully see a lot of new users there and try to attract them in to help out21:31
nixternalhey, whats up with Beta 3 btw for KDE 4?21:51
daSkreechWhats up?21:52
=== jjesse_ is now known as jjesse
=== Earl_of_Dunham is now known as n8k99
xipietotecdo you have to have kubuntu-desktop installed to run kde4? I followed the instructions on kubuntu.org, and kde4 now loads up, but then immediately crashes.22:21
Riddellnixternal: it's in gutsy22:50
fdovingRiddell: proposed kdesudo fix is at http://ubuntu.lnix.net/misc/kdesudo_debdiff_ubuntu3_dynamic_xauth_r2.diff and http://ubuntu.lnix.net/misc/kdesudo_1.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb - now using it with root is secure and it will clean up tempfiles. when using with -u nonrootuser the xauth file will be exposed to anyone on the system because the -u user needs to read the file. it will of course be in /tmp/kdesudo-XXXXX-xauth some random things. but it's po23:35
Riddell"it's po"23:37
jjess1I don't like poo23:37
fdoving but it's possible to23:39
fdoving          exploit that during the time the app is open as the user. I don't completely understand23:39
fdoving          how gksu does this. nite.23:39
fdovinggah, nice paste.23:39
fdovingit is possible for other users to set XAUTHORITY=/tmp/kdesudo-xxxx-xauth and run apps on the X server.23:40
fdovingwith the cookie from kdesudo-xxxx-xauth23:41
fdovingbut the file will be locked when in use.23:41
ryanakcafdoving: if there's a special code in /tmp/kdesudo-xxxx-xauth, and the file is read only, wouldn't that mean only the user who entered the pass can access it/use sudo?23:41
fdovingerr, forget the lock thing, doesn't count for reading.23:41
fdovingryanakca: no, because the file is created as the user executing kdesudo.23:42
ryanakcas/read only/read only for owner, no access for others/23:42
fdovingryanakca: it's OK for root, as it can be 0600, or rw-----23:42
fdovingand root can still read it.23:42
fdovingbut once you 'kdesudo -u someuser' you'll get problems.23:43
ryanakcaah23:43
fdovingbecause someuser can't read that.23:43
* ryanakca nods23:43
fdovingwell, bed. nite.23:45
Riddellfdoving: "Use a pty." which part of the diff is that?23:45
Riddellfdoving: ok, many thanks fdoving23:45
fdovingRiddell: it's nothing really, just mentioned in the changelog because i tested with KProcess::setUsePty23:45
ryanakcanite fdoving23:45
fdovingcan safely be ignored.23:46
nixternalRiddell: kdebase-workspace says 3.93 here23:54
nixternalheh23:55
nixternalI swore for some reason that beta2 was 93...man am I a moron23:55
stdinI have 3.94.0-0ubuntu223:56
nixternalya, that is what it is supposed to be23:56
nixternalok, so I am not a moron23:56
nixternalthat means the us archives aren't updating23:56
nixternalargh!23:56
stdinhmm, us.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com both point to the same IP(s)23:57
nixternalinteresting...kdebase-workspace says 3.93-0ubuntu2 here, but kdebase-workspace-dev says 3.94-0ubuntu223:57
stdinsomething screwy there23:58
nixternalactually, the us archives are/were right up the street from me...I wonder why it is pointing to the same IP now23:59
nixternalthat explains the slowness23:59
