nixternalyes19:18
nixternaland the speed is pretty decent19:18
nixternalIntel chipset, Celeron M 1.619:18
Lureaseigo just fixed my performance issue in plasma, so I hope it will work decent now for me19:20
_StefanS_nixternal: you just followed the guide on techbase.kde.org?19:20
nixternalyes19:21
_StefanS_sweet.. I gotta try that19:21
nixternalLure: ya, I noticed a little slowness with Plasma, but not showstopping slowness19:21
Lurenixternal: it was using 100% of cpu due to walppaer19:21
nixternalhrmm, I don't think I seen that issue19:22
Lurenixternal: 1920x1200 screen was not supported in pixmap cache, causing svg ->pixmap conversions all the time19:22
Lurenixternal: kde bug 15110919:23
_StefanS_Lure: is that fix available ? I have the same resolution also19:23
Lure_StefanS_: ^^^19:23
UbotwoKDE bug 151109 in General "pixmap cache too small for 1920x1200" [Normal,Assigned] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15110919:23
_StefanS_yea ;)19:23
_StefanS_saw it19:23
Lure_StefanS_: not final fix, just workaround which should be "good enough"19:23
_StefanS_fair enough19:23
_StefanS_nixternal: didnt that compile take like a week or something ?19:24
nixternalLure: that would explain it then...if you could, send me a monitor that can do that resolution so I can test it :)19:24
nixternalhehe19:24
nixternal_StefanS_: only took a couple of hours to compile pretty much every KDE 4 module19:24
Lurenixternal: it is built in my laptop, so a bit harder to send one ;-)19:25
nixternalincluding Amarok 219:25
nixternaloh wow, then send me a laptop :)19:25
nixternalhehe19:25
_StefanS_ah19:25
Lurenixternal: you do not want it really (had motherboard replaced the third time ;-))19:25
nixternalooh, that stinks19:25
_StefanS_Lure: what brand? apple19:25
_StefanS_?19:26
Lure_StefanS_: hp nw824019:26
_StefanS_oh my just looked a HP 8510 or something19:26
_StefanS_good thing I skipped that in favour of a t61p19:26
nixternalI have been super lucky with my laptop...Compaq C304nr, 1GB ram, 1.6GHz Celeron M, 15" widescreen (1280x800), and not one problem...I have been dist-upgrading since Dapper on this laptop19:26
Lure_StefanS_: we have lot's of hp laptops at work and regular replacements of motherboards19:26
Lureso take at least 3-year warranty, then you should be fine19:26
Lure;-)19:27
_StefanS_nixternal: I'm guessing that the kde4 packages by Riddell should not be on the system when making that svn version (?)19:31
Lure_StefanS_: no need, as yours will be in home19:31
nixternaldoesn't matter...when you build from svn it is wise to create a new user and just work from the new users (kde-devel) directory19:31
_StefanS_ah yep19:31
_StefanS_thanks19:31
Lure_StefanS_: I have kde-devel user and everything is started from his home19:31
mhbone user rules them all here19:31
nixternalI might do that, but I am probably going to build slackware and have just KDE 4 on it, that way there I can get the KDE 4 packages only in the menu and not everything on the system, unless of course there is an easy fix I am overlooking19:32
mhbnixternal: I knew you're gonna move to something else sooner or later :o)19:33
nixternalnot to move away from Kubuntu, but Slackware is a "compile, make, and make install" person's dream :)19:33
nixternalalthough19:33
nixternalshoot, I am an idiot..I could just install Ubuntu server and do it from there19:34
nixternalderr19:34
mhbubuntu-minimal might be a better package to start from19:34
_StefanS_nixternal: so why doesnt sudo work for the kde-devel user, any idea?19:47
nixternalyou need to add kde-devel to the 'admin' group19:47
_StefanS_ah19:47
_StefanS_never really look much into that :)19:47
nixternalhehe, I forget about it as well every now and then myself19:48
nixternaland on occassion, more than once when setting up a kde-devel user19:48
_StefanS_ah neat, it works19:48
_StefanS_nixternal: did you compile your own qt-copy?19:48
nixternalif you are using >= Feisty all you need to do is make sure you install all of the dependencies listed under Kubuntu, and then procede with kdelibs19:49
nixternalyou won't need to do qt-copy or kdesupport then19:49
nixternalas we have all of the dependencies already in the repos19:49
_StefanS_yups nice19:49
nixternalthere will be more deps that you will need to install though as you go through...if you come across a dep, make sure you add it to the list on techbase19:50
nixternalI didn't do it my last install, but I should have19:50
nixternalI will install it on my desktop here later so I will add as needed as well19:50
nixternalRiddell: .95 libs building now...should I upload to my PPA?19:50
_StefanS_jep gotcha19:50
nixternaland if so, should I attach ~ppa to the end of the package version?19:51
mhbI thought the KDE folks abide by the rule "test compile every time"19:52
Riddellnixternal: kubuntu-members PPA19:53
mhbyet I get errors every time I try to compile their trunk19:53
Riddellnixternal: yes, add ~ppa119:53
nixternalroger19:53
_StefanS_uhm regarding hardy.. is it a more conservative release than gutsy because of LTS ?19:53
nixternalheh, I should have asked before starting the libs build...I knew I should have :)19:53
Riddellnixternal: and obviously run dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp --list-missing to see if there's new files that need to be installed19:53
_StefanS_I mean, is there any restrictions on the features and stuff19:53
Riddell_StefanS_: the focus is on kubuntu catchup with with ubuntu for features, and stability19:54
Riddellbut new features are fine too so long as they aren't insane19:54
nixternalRiddell: of course :)19:54
nixternalhow about extragear-plasma?19:54
_StefanS_Riddell: business as usual then?19:54
Riddellnixternal: that hasn't been packaged yet, would be nice if it has time19:55
nixternalroger19:55
Riddellyou can take plasme-playground and adapt19:56
nixternal#ubuntu-classroom for the OpenWeek Ubuntu Documentation Talk19:59
ScottKWe have that?19:59
nixternalheh, I spammed the doc talk, but totally forgot to spam the Kubuntu talks...jeesh I am e.tarded20:00

begert_so peeps, any good start guide for potential kubuntu developers21:18
begert_?21:18
_StefanS_begert_: what languages do you program?21:20
begert_c++ for now21:20
hungerbegert_: For now?21:20
begert_would like to learn python ;)21:21
_StefanS_begert_: do you know Qt ?21:21
begert_I do not21:21
hungerbegert_: Qt is pretty well documented and easy to learn.21:22
begert_thats good to know21:22
_StefanS_you should start with Qt, and look at the KDE<>Qt subclassing21:22
_StefanS_techbase.kde.org21:22
begert_thanks21:23
_StefanS_then find some kubuntu related bugs on launchpad.net, and look into those21:23
_StefanS_I dont have any at hand21:24
begert_techbase looks like a great place to begin21:24
_StefanS_begert_: yep you can easily sport the link to the Qt based classes21:25
_StefanS_sport/spot21:25
_StefanS_begert_: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-team/+packagebugs21:26
_StefanS_begert_: : be sure to make an account on launchpad.net also21:27
begert_from http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started , I guess I would want the 3.5 branch?  or is there a kubuntu specific branch I should be using?21:27
begert_I have an account :)21:27
begert_I have been trying to help by submitting bugs and a little triaging21:28
_StefanS_ok nice21:28
_StefanS_3.5 branch yes21:28

mhband eat 100% CPU in the process22:06
jjesseafternoon22:07
mhbhi jjesse22:07
jjessehello mhb22:07
KalElhi, i am totally new to KDE. to develop a KDE gui which packages would i need?22:08
KalEli want to use c++.22:08
jjesseKalEl: might want to try #kde-devel22:09
hungerKalEl: kde*-devel22:09
hungeraehm... -dev22:09
stdin"kde-devel" should pull just about everything you'll need22:12
KalElthanks22:13
hungerstdin: Cool, didn't know that:-)22:15
* hunger always installed the individual debs.22:15
profoX`*cough*22:16
profoX`stdin: hey22:16
stdinwe're looking for all sorts of help, not just developers :)22:16
stdindocumentation, for instance, is a good place to dip in22:17
profoX`yea, but personally I'm most interested in helping to make Kubuntu on par with Ubuntu (to try and make sure the new features for Ubuntu Hardy will also be available in Kubuntu Hardy for example)22:17
stdinthat's pretty much the goal for hardy22:18
stdinwe plan to catch up to ubuntu in features and work out a lot of bugs22:18
profoX`I see.22:19
hungerstdin: Wow, great!22:19
profoX`I see a lot of people in this channel though. I was told there were only 2 active kubuntu developers ;)22:19
stdinthe exact plan should be worked out at the UDS, then we'll have a goal-set22:19
mhbprofoX`: it's great that you want to help with that22:19
stdinprofoX`: well, there's only 1 paid developer22:19
hungerprofoX`: I just hang out here, complaining about my favourite bugs.22:20
mhbprofoX`: that's totally not true :o) just one developer is paid, but we volunteers do our best, too22:20
profoX`oh22:20
profoX`I guess that's jriddell then? :)22:20
profoX`since he works for canonical22:21
stdinyep :)22:21
mhbRiddell, yeah22:21
profoX`hunger: well, that's also important ;) well, maybe not the complaining part22:21
nixternalwell if you can complain as well as hunger does, then it is important :p22:21
nixternalmuhehe22:21
Tm_Tmooh22:22
mhbprofoX`: well you can pick a feature that you want to have in Kubuntu Hardy and just code it22:22
stdinas long as you make a bug report too, rather than just do a "moan and run" :p22:22
jjessehow bout fixing it rather then complaining :)22:22
mhbprofoX`: it all depends on what you think you can manage in a 6-month cycle22:22
hungerstdin: I do bugreports... I even close them again occassionally.22:22
hungerstdin: Like when I despair and accept that some stuff will never get fixed:-(22:23
profoX`mhb: yea, but is there like a wiki page or something that lists the things already being worked on maybe?22:23
nixternaljjesse: are we going to be working from the Bazaar branch for Hardy, or are we still working out of SVN?22:23
profoX`I don't like to do double work :)22:23
nixternalI am somewhat confused by all of that22:23
mhbprofoX`: no, because there's nothing set in stone yet22:23
mhbprofoX`: just tell me what you'd like to do and I can perhaps give you directions22:23
mhbs/I/we22:23
stdinlast week I mostly went around marking dups of 15503222:24
mhbbug 15503222:24
profoX`mhb: well, nothing yet; I'll first have to finish up some other things....22:24
stdinmhb: the kdesudo bug22:24
hungerstdin: THAT one is extremly annoying!22:24
stdinthere is a fixed deb up22:25
mhbnixternal: how do you tame the strigidaemon again?22:25
hungerstdin: Not in my repositories:-(22:25
nixternalmhb: uninstall it :)22:25
mhbalso, how can one actually configure plasma? Or set a wallpaper? Right clicking on desktop doesn't work like it did.22:25
hungerstdin: And that one should have never made it into a release.22:26
nixternalactually, in kde 4 I think strigidaemon is running...I haven't checked it...I forgot to, and right now I am in KDE 322:26
stdinhunger: it not in -proposed yet, but to be fare, it's really a sudo bug as kdesudo just runs sudo (and I know, stupid idea :p )22:26
hungerstdin: I think a user who has trouble due to that bug will not care.22:28
hungerstdin: I definitely did not.-)22:28
stdinwell I work in the command line mostly, so I'm just not effected22:29
stdinbut it's a bug that was found very late in the release cycle22:30
hungerstdin: The relevant change happened very late in the release cycle.22:30
stdinjust need to get the fix out, like the kopete bug and adept one(s)22:31
mhbhi kwwii, how's fosscamp?22:32
kwwiimhb: good! been a long day though22:33
hungerstdin: I disagree. There were several bugs in gutsy that I would have considered showstoppers.22:34
stdinwhat like?22:34
hungerstdin: I am just back from a trade show: kubuntu's reputation did get a hit with gutsy.22:34
hungerstdin: kdesu problem, missing qtrc, ...22:34
stdinanything that didn't happened like 7 days before release?22:35
stdinnot saying something shouldn't have been done, just that a few things happened very late and it just seemed to fall apart when not much could be done22:36
hungerstdin: That is a QA problem.22:37
hungerstdin: I know that all of you are putting in *VERY* much time on a voluntary basis. And I know how much work it is to make kubuntu.22:39
hungerI am thankful that all of you do that to bring a cool distribution out to the masses (and me;-)22:40
stdinhardy will be better, it has to be, it's going to be LTS after all22:41
hungerstdin: I hope so.22:41
* nixternal too22:42
nixternalhowever I didn't/don't have any Gutsy problems (yet)22:42
hungerAre there some plans on improving QA?22:42
stdindon't hope BELIEVE!! ;)22:42
nixternalnot as of yet hunger, but I think it is something we need to definitely look into22:42
* hunger agrees.22:42
nixternalsame goes with MOTU22:42
hungerI really do not understand how something as important as a qtrc can go missing during deep freeze. But I never did serious packaging myself.22:43
hungerNot that ubuntu is any better.22:44
begert_qtrc?22:47
hungerbegert_: The config file for Qt.22:48
LureRiddell, Tonio_: seems like bug 103481 need sponsor for upload...22:48
hungerToo bad that I can not find anything in LP:-/22:50
Riddellhunger: qtrc is interesting because it doesn't affect kde users only non-kde users running qt only apps22:51
Riddellso I never notice it and if gnome people notice it they just assume it's a qt bug22:51
hungerRiddell: It does affect qt-only apps for both AFAIK.22:51
Riddellthe fix is in gutsy-proposed now, as is kdesu22:51
Riddellhunger: running a KDE app will create ~/.qt3/qtrc22:52
Riddellor qt_plugins_3.3rc22:53
* hunger wonders why qt-only apps did look so sucky before I created a qtrc file for myself then.22:54
hungerI am looking for the bugreport I wrote about that, but I can not find anything in LP.22:54
LureRiddell: can we get kdesu fix faster through proposed (similar as was done for kdelibs/kopete crash)?22:54
RiddellLure: on what grounds?22:55
LureRiddell: it will change lots of files to be owned by root and cause more support issues later22:55
RiddellLure: I've no bandwidth now, tonio or imbrandon or someone needs to do bug 10348122:56
hungerstdin: The qtrc bug was first reported 2006-11-03 by the way... At least that is the oldest dup I can find. 2007-08-07 is the oldest diagnosis of the problem I found.23:02
begert_so i checked out kde/3.5 in svn.....not sure I know where to go from there23:06
hungerbegert_: Try to build it:-)23:07
hungerbegert_: If you have several linux boxes around you might want to setup icecc and icecc-mon now;-)23:07
begert_where do i start. there are a many sub-directories23:08
hungerbegert_: THere should be documentation on techbase. IIRC there even is a build script.23:08
begert_easy way to set that up in Kubuntu?23:08
hungerbegert_: Dunno. I only build kde4 nowadays.23:09
begert_there seems to be better directions for kde4...maybe......hmmmmm23:09
hungerbegert_: KDE4 is what the guys writing techbase are working on:-) No wonder there are better docs.23:10
hungerbegert_: It is completely different from building kde3 though.23:10
nixternalRiddell: if you aren't partying yet, are they planning on having the VoIP stuff and a channel for this UDS?23:52
