nixternalit doesn't play nice on startup all of the time either02:28
Jucatokompmgr ftw! hheheh02:28
nixternalI do have to say though, the people who developed it, are brilliant though02:29
nixternalI was just looking at everything, and it couldn't have been easy02:29

dasKreech kwin-4 ?02:30
Jucatoit was made with gnome in mind :)02:31
nixternalthat it was02:31
nixternalI will say that KDE 4 with composite runs better though for KDE02:31
nixternaland while I am harping, let me harp on ODBC in Linux...need I say more?02:34
Jucatosure. I get my turn in a few days :)02:34
nixternalhehe02:34
nixternalI can sit there and sling commands at an Access DB using isql all day long, but as soon as I try it with ODBC, it is a no go02:35
* Jucato will not tell nixternal that he knows nothing about db's :)02:36
dasKreechWhats LUKS?02:40
dasKreechdo  we ship with it?02:40
dasKreechI did access ODBC02:40
dasKreech it's not a out of the box solution02:40

Riddellwell, logout shouldn't02:55

* Jucato chuckles at how some people in #kubuntu answer "how to install <package|s>"....03:00
dasKreechhttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=898&num=103:00
JucatoAnswer: "sudo apt-get install synaptic"03:00
dasKreechYep03:00
dasKreechat least 40% of the time03:00
dasKreechanother 35% is NEVER USE ADEPT apt-get/aptitude03:00
* dasKreech likes Adept03:00
* dasKreech grumbles03:01
dasKreechSweet new Cd is out03:01
* Jucato tries to count the number of comments, just about the name "Okteta"03:03
nixternaldon't you just love when compiz crashes your machine, even when you tell it not to load?03:09
nixternalif we want Compiz in Hardy, we have a lot of work to do unfortunately03:09
Jucatolovely :)03:09
Jucato:)03:09
nixternalI am sitting in tty1 right now03:09
* dasKreech still wonders why we want compiz03:09
* nixternal too03:10
nixternalbut then again, the users are the ones who want it03:10
nixternalthey are the most important!03:10
Jucatobecause it's a spec to catch up to gutsy features?03:10
jjessethe spec we talked about today?03:10
dasKreechthey have a package03:10
Jucatohardy catchup03:10
dasKreech let em install it03:10
dasKreechso we are stripping compiz?03:11
JucatoI can think of a compromise. we can make it easy for them to install compiz.. but we have to tell them that Compiz-KDE integration sucks... so we can't really support it much.. then forward them to #compiz-fusion :P03:11
* Jucato is eeevil03:11
dasKreechI concur03:13
jjesseso any idea on how to resolve my prolblem w/ kdm and login?03:27
jjessealso is kdm the reason the panel still shows along w/ the kde4 panel?03:27
HobbseedasKreech: because compiz is kinda cool03:46
HobbseedasKreech: and doesnt appear to drain resources03:46
dasKreechAnd we are dumping it the release after that?03:46
Hobbseewhy would we?03:47
Hobbseecompiz-kde is easy to install03:47
dasKreechcause Kwin ships with compositing in KDE4?03:48
Hobbseedunno03:49
Hobbseepeople might want compiz, for some strange reason03:49
dasKreechsure03:51
dasKreechI have no issues with that :)03:51
dasKreech make it easy to install03:51
Hobbseeand, the cube is cool03:52
Hobbseeand the zoom can be quite useful - there's actually no real way to easily zoom in in kde, at all03:52
Hobbseewhich is unhelpful, when you zoom an image, and it becomse massively pixelated03:53
yuriydasKreech: that's the idea, make it easy to install and have it actually work, not have it by default03:57
yuriyHobbsee: are you at UDS?03:58
dasKreechah03:58
Hobbseeyuriy: nope03:58
dasKreechanyone following the Gobby at UDS ?03:58
yuriydasKreech: or at least that's what i got out of today's meeting03:58
dasKreechDoes that mean we maintain compiz-kde ?03:58
yuriynot sure, and not sure who's "we"03:59
dasKreechKubuntu04:03
yuriynot sure.  the results of the BoF seemed a bit wishywashy to me, and the spec isn't written up yet (jr wrote down notes). overall not quite what i expected UDS to be like04:05
Hobbseeyuriy: the sessions differ a lot04:10
HobbseedasKreech: no.  technically, MOTU does.  i think the compiz people end up maintaining it.04:11
Hobbseeyuriy: specs tend to only get written up at the end04:11
yuriyHobbsee: oh. i thought the whole point of the meetings was to flesh out the spec04:11
yuriy*had thought04:11
Hobbseeyuriy: sure, but the spec is a summary of what's been decided, pretty much04:14

raphinkok :)09:02
raphinkjust quite a lot of work ;)09:03
HobbseeJucato: this, of course, relies on the canonical spec people accepting various specs09:12
HobbseeJucato: and not being focussed on getting kubuntu up to ubuntu09:13
mhbgood morning09:50
mhbJucato: I find your blog post a bit too abstract09:51
mhbJucato: I can see what you mean by "becoming a KDE maintainers team", but not really what you mean by "separation"09:51
mhbwhich concepts, values or technical decisions of the Ubuntu distribution should we separate from?09:53
mhbsurely not the stable release cycle, seeing as other projects (koffice) now benefits from our cycle09:54
mhband I personally like the idea of having as few wizards and pop-ups as possible, I like things to work automagically without wizards09:54
Jucatomhb: sorry just woke up from a nap. I'll get back to you later...10:04
* Jucato reboots brain10:04
Jucato(usually takes a while...)10:04
mhbJucato: and by the way, I have chosen Kubuntu as my distro of choice exactly because of the specialization on KDE. If we became a team like Fedora or Debian has, I would consider "moving on" to some other KDE-centric distro.10:14
Jucatomhb: I only put option 2 as a sort of.. um... slap in the face option?10:14
Jucatohm.. what was I typing again?10:14
JucatoI intentionally made the post a wee bit too abstract. so that people won't focus too much on technical details and probably miss the message. besides, the "separation" I was thinking about is also a bit more abstract than technical. we would still be using LP, we would still probably follow the release schedule (although we probably could be a bit loose on that one)10:15
NightroseJucato: nice post10:16
JucatoFor example, on gutsy, we could have probably waited a bit longer, just to be able to immediately (and "officially") fix the kopete and kdesudo bugs10:17
JucatoNightrose: thanks :)10:17
Nightrose;-)10:17
Jucatomhb: but I'm quite ok with the 6-month schedule... in fact sometimes I wish KDE released that predictably :)10:17
mhbhmm, you touched something I would like too, being less dependent on Ubuntu bureaucracy10:18
* Jucato wonders where the idea about separating release schedules came up though... reading the comments10:18
mhbwell it's the first thing I thought when I read the word "separation"10:19
Jucatomhb: I guess I'm also trying to say is that we somehow stop hoping that Canonical would one day support us more. If sabdfl's answers were any indication, I think that's a done deal already10:19
Jucatohehe tbh, the schedule never came to my mind throughout the whole time I was thinking about this :)10:20
Hobbseewe probably dont want to split the release cycle10:20
mhbno10:21
mhbwe don't want to10:21
Jucatomost probably not. but probably we could be a bit lenient... but that depends on the situation I guess10:21
mhbJucato: actually, I think bugs like those two are blocked by two things10:21
mhba) we don't have the rights to change something a some point10:22
mhbb) we don't have the professionals that would actually concentrate on fixing bugs10:22
mhbbecause fixing bugs isn't much fun10:22
Jucatobut if you look at comment #1, that view about Kubuntu is somehow a bit prevalent with some users... even if you observe the way some users speak... even if you do !kubuntu right now10:22
Jucatoyeah... but for example, with the Kopete bug, Riddel already had the fix just within a day or so... but we weren't able to upload it... users had to resort to manually installing the .deb10:23
mhbfixing bugs need dedicated Q&A, and we'd need paid devs or really crazy (and skilled) enthusiasts10:23
Jucatoand 64-bit users were left out.10:23
Jucatoprobably even the kmilo bug? :)10:25
Jucatobtw mhb, just to warn you (sort of), I saw someone giving an unofficial fix to that kmilo bug... which basically involved downloading feisty's kmilo,extracting it, and manually copying/overwriting the files10:25
Jucatojust to fix the 0% - 11% bug...10:25
mhbJucato: why warn me?10:26
Jucatoer.. inform you I mean...10:26
Jucatothere's a fix already right?10:26
JucatoI mean a patch?10:26
mhbI'm not really sure10:26
Jucatooh I thought the bug was assigned to you. my bad.10:26
Hobbseewhat kmilo bug?10:27
* Jucato searches for the bug #10:27
Jucato"imho, it is more important to implement new hardy features for Kubuntu than implement all missing features (catchup) from previous releases." -- from Lure... I agree with that... although I couldn't understand what he meant in the 2nd sentence :)10:28
Jucato(From https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuHardyCatchup btw)10:29
mhbI think the second one was the exact opposite of the 1st10:29
mhbwhich puzzled me10:29

JucatoHobbsee: do you remember if the default Ubuntu install has pre-defined folderse in $HOME?10:32
mhbJucato: actually, there is a couple of distributions that branch off from Debian and Ubuntu and use KDE - but because of the fact that nobody is at sync with KDE, why don't we join forces and do all the maintaining within Debian Unstable (or whichever we branch from) ?10:32
HobbseeJucato: it does10:32
Hobbseemhb: apparently there are still a few kubuntu-specific patches - but we do, at least somewhat10:32
Jucatoah10:32
Hobbseewould be really nice to have the rosetta export patches in debian, where they do nothing, then sync.10:33

mhbrosetta? Isn't that the translation tool? Who is "they"?10:34

Hobbseemhb: we cant sync a lot of debian's stuff into our main, as we do extraction to rosetta in ubuntu10:34
Hobbseeso that patch means we cant sync10:35
Jucatoah rosetta :)10:35
mhbthat sounds like a job for a fairly smart import tool10:37

Hobbseemhb: no idea, tbh10:38
Hobbseei dont follow translations :)10:38
Hobbseealthough i did have my ubuntu in german for a bit10:38
Jucatotranslations was one of the topics raised in FOSSCamp right? maybe there are good news?10:39
* Jucato is sure mhb loved the FOSSCamp "decision" about package management :D10:39
HobbseeJucato: you might want to comment on there that you cnat do anything about canonical supporting kubuntu more - that it's the wrong place to petition mark to do so10:42
HobbseeJucato: also, you might want to correct the perception that Riddell is actually a gtk/gnome dev10:42
JucatoHobbsee: doing that already10:42
JucatoAnything else? :)10:45

Hobbseehow many people there are working actively on kubuntu, in development roles10:48
Hobbsee1 full time, and maybe...6 in their spare time? 8?  i'm not sure10:48
Jucatoabout that much.. +1 now that jpatrick's back perhaps10:49
Hobbseeyeah, but the point is for when they bash gutsy, to realise just how many people were in it10:49
Jucatohopefully new blood will be coming in. remember those guys who sprouted after openweek?10:49
Jucatothey don't know that. I've encountered users who thought we have a number of paid devs because we're officially supported by Canonical10:50
Jucato(of course I had to explain it to them and they were very understanding after that)10:50
Hobbseehopefully11:01
Hobbseebut we do need to actively recruit them11:01
Hobbseeyes, hence they need education :)11:01
mhbnew blood is hard to find these days11:05
Jucato_we need vampires to suck new blood :)11:07
mhbthat is my idea of having a central place for KDE Debian-Derivatives package maintaining11:08

* Lure reads lot's of trace back11:09
Jucato_Lure: your comment in the Catchup spec11:10
LureJucato_: I just wanted to point out that just being in catchup mode is not right approach - we should focus rather on hardy as-is, therefore checking what Ubuntu is doing, and deciding what it makes sense to implement and what not11:24
LureJucato_: rather than spending all the effort implementing features from gutsy (like compiz by default...)11:25
Jucato_I see11:25

mhbLure: by the way, I'm not sure if you're up with the most recent developments on the web site thing, we will soon be replacing the current site with a Drupal install, which will allow a) much easier collaboration (edit rights for more than just jr) b) a nicer theme.12:06
mhbLure: we're blocked on Canonical sysadmins now12:06
Luremhb: ;-) on new web site, :-( on being blocked on canonical again...12:06
Luremhb: are you driving this effort?12:07
mhbLure: in a way, ryanakca did a lot of improvements on the theme, though.12:08
mhbLure: the C. sysadmins were busy with the Ubuntu release and they now take care of the UDS12:08
Luremhb: great to see this moving!12:08
Luremhb: yeah, I know they are very busy right now12:09
Luremhb: if we had such web page for so long, some additional weeks will not make it much worse ;-)12:09
mhbLure: once UDS ends I hope they'll set the Drupal for us12:09
mhbyeah .o)12:09

nixternalIntel13:37
nixternalit has worked flawlessly in the past13:37
nixternalbut last night for some reason, don't know if it was a plugin I enabled or what, it just started eating memory13:37

nixternalmendred: and I will second that13:37
_buzmendred: that's true. but that's only saying it's even WORSE on others13:38
Jucatonixternal: you probably enabled the jucato-plugin13:38
nixternalit wasn't a graphics hardware issue, it is a KDE and Compiz issue13:38

Riddellhe's also spreading deadly diseases today13:39
jjessesur i guess13:39
nixternalWhat I find amazing is how *good* Kubuntu still manages to be despite next to no support from Canonical. If that’s not a testament to the power of the KDE infrastructure, I don’t know what is…13:39
Jucatojjesse: good morning! :)13:39
_buznixternal: i agree13:39
nixternalJucato: ^^ that is the comment13:39
Jucatonixternal: yeah that one's a great comment :)13:39

_buz(even though i dont agree on some design decisions, like d3lphin)13:39
mendredand this is an ancient laptop by any stds13:40
nixternalI really never thought of it like that, and that is a great complement13:40
Jucatonixternal: but "*buntus suck. Try a real distro like OpenSUSE or Fedora." is better don'tyou think? Hehehe13:40

Jucatohehe now get to class :P13:41
Jucatoso that I could disturb you there :D13:41
nixternalfor me, there is nothing that tops Kubuntu...it works for me 100%, I can do my work w/o any problems, and I know to hack it if need be13:41
nixternalplus, can you name another distribution where the lead developer wears a kilt with no undies? :p13:41
mendredanyways regarding the kde4 packages for kubuntu.is there a repo where i can get amarok2 and koffice2 packages?13:42
Jucatohm.. I just remembered, who's responsible for implementing this separate Context Toolbar? http://jucato.org/stuff/context.png13:42

* nixternal doesn't use no stinkin' toolbars....keyboard shortcuts FTW!13:43
Jucato:)13:43
_buzi dont have that context toolbar thingy in gutsy?13:44
* nixternal goes to school...cya in a bit13:44
_buzfor me, kubuntu 5.04 beta was the first distro i could ever work with and i stuck around ;)13:44
_buz(tho first time i tried linux was in 2000 or so, on suse)13:45
_buzno, that's wrong, 199813:45
Jucato_buz: that's on a fresh install of gutsy (vbox)13:45
_buzabd being able to use kubuntu to work is saying a lot coming from someone who has been using freebsd for 6 years on servers ;)13:46
_buzJucato: could be related to the fact that i got rid of that stupid distinction between web and filemanager13:47
Jucatothat only appears if you're viewing a kpart (embedded viewer)13:47
_buzah ok13:47
_buzyeah13:48
_buzi never noticed that i used that ;)13:48

Jucatopretty sure it wasn't13:49
* Jucato has been thinking/wishing for something like that back then13:50
_buzcould be wrong though, i switched go gutsy quite early13:50
mendred*sigh* i guess  the answer is no13:50

Jucatoat this point at least13:51

emonkey-pCMake Error: ERROR: Could not find KDE4 kde4-config14:03
emonkey-p-- Configuring done14:03
emonkey-pany idea?14:03
emonkey-pI've did everything like it's written here: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4#kdelibs14:04
jpatrickpatrick@kamino:~$ dpkg -S kde4-config14:04
jpatrickkdelibs5: /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kde4-config14:04
Jucatohm.. confusing Kubuntu packages w/ SVN source? :)14:05
jpatrickit's that or you have to add /usr/lib/kde4/bin to your PATH14:05
Jucatowon't work... if he's following the SVN guide and compiling from scratch14:05
emonkey-pthere is a file, so I've toadd it to the PATH14:05
emonkey-pI've done this special .bashrc things (cs etc.)14:06
jpatrickyes, I've seen that file14:06
emonkey-pso I thought the PATH should be ok, but maybe I'm worng14:06
emonkey-pshould I ask in a normal kde channel if I do it from scratch?14:07
Jucatowait... did you install kdelibs already?14:07
Jucatoshould be kdesupport -> kdelibs -> kdepimlibs -> kdebase14:07
emonkey-pJucato: you mean the libs from the beta 4 from the repo? yes I have14:07
emonkey-ps/4/314:07
Jucatohm... I don't quite understand what you're trying to do? you're compiling kdepimlibs from svn but used kde4libs from Kubuntu?14:08
emonkey-pno I already compiled kdelibs from svn14:08
emonkey-pbut the beta3 are installed before, maybe that's a problem?14:08
emonkey-pthe beta 3 is from the gutsy repo14:08
Jucatohm... maybe... but the .bashrc variables should have taken care of that...14:09
Jucatoif you copied the .bashrc from techbase exactly as it is14:09
emonkey-pI've added the new .bashrc at the end of the old bashrc, should I replace it?14:09
Jucatono. just add14:10
emonkey-pmaybe there was a problem compiling the kdelibs, is there a possibility to check if it's ok? I've seen only warnings on output but I haven't checked a logfile or something like that14:11
bddebianHeya14:12
emonkey-pThe problem is I've to make a speech at the *buntu Release Party in our country about kde4. And I think I should have something more to show than only the beta 3.14:13
emonkey-pThe party is on the 10th so there is a bit more time to do it.14:14
tobias_emonkey: I can't even get to the KDE code from here:-( SVN is blocked.14:14
jjessei built all from svn last night w/ no problems14:14
tobias_jjesse: I actually build kde4 a couple of times, but for some reason it never starts up properly.14:15
tobias_The kde4 debs from Riddel work fine.14:16
emonkey-pthe config is here but it looks like the PATH is not set properly : http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/1660714:17
jpatrickemonkey-p: add /usr/lib/kde4/bin14:17
emonkey-pok14:19
Jucatojpatrick:  I'm afraid that will conflict...14:20
Jucatohe's compiling KDE 4 from SVN, following the techbase guide, which installs everything to /home/kde-devel/kde and uses that PATH for $KDEDIR. /usr/lib/kde4/bin/ is the location from Kubuntu packages... if his compilation has trouble finding the correct kde4-config, then there's something wrong from the start14:21
Jucatoat least afaik14:21
emonkey-pI see... maybe I'll try everything again from beginning14:22
Jucatoemonkey-p: without /usr/lib/kde4/bin/ from your path, type "which kde4-config"14:22
jjessei followed the techbas3e article and the only problem i had was w/ lnusertmp14:23
Jucatojjesse: ditto (last month)14:23

* Jucato sees kde4-config in his old /home/kde-devel/kde/bin/14:24

Jucatoneither did kdesupport14:30
Jucatodid you compile and install kdesupport already?14:30

HobbseeRiddell: when you did the new packages, did you check for non-published fixes in bzr?14:32
emonkey-pJucato: but there is this sentence: There is no need to compile qt or kdesupport on kubuntu gutsy. All required packages are provided in these packages. Skip down to the kdelibs section and continue from there.14:32
Jucatohm... then something must have gone wrong with your kdelibs compile14:33
emonkey-pcan I check that with grepping an log?14:33

* Hobbsee unassigns from a whole bunch of bugs.14:34
Jucatodunno if there's a log for it14:34
emonkey-pk, I'll try it with compiling the kdesupport first. :914:34
Jucatowell you can try recompiling kdelibs first :)14:35
Jucatoand pay attention when it stops. you'll see if it finished or not14:36
emonkey-pok, just do again the cmakekde in the kdelibs directory?14:37
Jucatoin the src directory14:37

Jucato_buz: you could also append the @SIG@ macro to your additions so that it could be identified as coming from you (in case youwant that)16:45
_buzJucato: oh didnt know that one, will do so in the future ;)16:45
_buzuse case: usb sticks etc16:45
Riddell_buz: and what is kryptomedia?16:45
Jucatono problem:16:45
_buzRiddell: a kde gui that asks user for passwords of encrypted removable drives16:46
_buzi think it comes from opensuse, originally16:46

_buzno looks right ;)16:47
Jucatocomment on the Codec installation: with Flash in Konqueror, currently it uses a different script and installs to the user's $HOME right? shouldn't it be done like Amarok/Kaffeine and use adept-batch to install flashplugin-nonfree?16:56

NightroseRiddell FYI about the /Music thing: Harald posted to our -dev mailinglist (don't know if you are subscribed) about it so expect some discussion - maybe a patch for kubuntu will not be necessary if we find a good solution18:16

mhbRiddell: right, but you should do a lot of coding, because otherwise we're wasting your potential :o)18:21
Riddellmhb: oh I expect I will18:22
mhbbut you should do what you like to, that's the rule of thumb18:23
mhbit might be interesting to patch Kaffeine so that it offers codec installation instead of the error message...18:24
mhband still, Ubuntu does it so that it installs the codec first, then plays the file...18:24
Riddellmhb: are you still interested in a compiz kcontrol module?18:27
mhbindeed I am18:28
mhbRiddell: I've seen you have discussed this, did you talk to mvo about that?18:28
Riddellmhb: only that it should be much the same as Appearances capplet in gnome18:30
mhbthat shouldn't be very hard18:30
Riddellno, it shouldn't18:30
mhbI already have some stub, I will look into that18:31
Riddellit should also offter to install compiz-kde through adept_batch i think18:31
mhbRiddell: I can do that frontend.18:32
mhbcreating a compiz-kde package and packaging the ccsm KDE frontend can be done by someone else.18:33
Riddellcompiz-kde exists18:34
Riddellthere is no ccsm KDE frontend (and I don't think it's worth doing)18:34
mhbhmm.18:35
mhbso no "custom" effects in KDE?18:35
Riddellinstall ccsm if you want that18:35
Riddellit's not a core tool by any means18:35
Riddelland it's horrifically complex18:35

nixternalRiddell: I have to start over on the KDE 4 stuff...I was looking through ktown, and the stuff I grabbed the other day wasn't complete...i.e. kdebase-runtime19:34
manchickenSo are we ever going to put Basket support back into kontact?19:34
manchickenI'm lost without Basket...19:34
jjessei thought basket no longer had a developer?19:34
manchickenI understand that many regard it as abandonware, but it still works, and works pretty well.19:35
manchickenI don't know if knotes has much active development either :)19:35
nixternalknotes just got a makeover for kde 419:36
* nixternal would like to see a "tomboy" for kde19:36
Riddellnixternal: where are you seeing this kdebase-runtime?19:36
manchickenI just want baskets back in kontact :'(19:36
* jjesse would like to see one note in linux19:36
nixternalRiddell: I downloaded it from ktown the other day19:37
nixternalI have it on my 64bit desktop19:37
Riddellnixternal: what's the path of it on ktown?19:37
nixternalit isn't in ktown anymore :)19:37
Riddellare you thinking of -workspace?19:37
jjessenixternal: don't bother Riddell he is re-writing Compiz-KDE :)19:37
nixternalno, runtime19:37
Riddellwell if it's not on ktown now then it's not needed19:37
nixternalthere was kdebase, kdebase-runtime, and kdebase-workspace the other day19:37
jjessewhat is ktown?19:38
nixternalRiddell: ya, there were updates to the packages since my last download, so I am going to grab them (libs and base) and redo them19:38
nixternaljjesse: right next to funky town19:38

jjessenixternal: like i said don't bother Riddell he's re-writting Compiz-KDE19:38
Riddellnixternal: I just uploaded the new kdebase to the PPA19:38
* Riddell is doing no such thing19:39
nixternalRiddell: well then, I will do the rest then :)19:39
jjessei think that was what the session i just left was about....19:39
Riddellnixternal: well I have some time, let's share them out19:39
nixternalup to you beefpatty19:39
Luremanchicken: there is bug with proposed fix (.desktop file change) for basket19:39
nixternalimbrandon: ^^ new one, add it to the dictionary19:39
manchickenLure: Will that fix the integration?19:39
nixternalmanchicken: why don't you take over basket and make it better?19:40
manchickennixternal: I really like it as it is to be honest with you.19:40
Riddellnixternal: if I grab kdebase-workspace and extragear-plasma you go ahead with others?19:40
Luremanchicken: they claim it should (it is just different plugin abi version)19:40
nixternalI personally didn't like it, but I do see where it might be useful while sitting in class sometimes19:40
manchickenOther than a handful of annoyances I really think it's about perfect.19:40
nixternalRiddell: works for me19:40
nixternalI will upload them to the ppa starting now, and while I am at school tonight....javascript class, that stuff is to easy19:40
manchickenLure: Good.  I'll stop crying when it's fixed. :'(19:40
manchickenI promise19:40
nixternalRiddell: how do I properly use a chroot for the kde4 builds when everytime I try to install one of the debs, it cries about dbus...I have tried install dbus on multiple occassions into the chroot, but it still cries19:41
nixternalam I missing something?19:41
Riddellnixternal: rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/dbus.postinst or whatever it is19:42
jjessenixternal: just do an rm -rf /19:43
jjesseand then install19:43
nixternalRiddell: roger19:44
nixternalRiddell: do you see kdepimlibs in ktown? I sure don't19:45
nixternalRiddell: found it and the runtime19:45
nixternallook under 3.95/platform19:45
Riddelloh.  meh.19:46
nixternalhehe, the other day though it was just under 3.95, there were no subdirectories19:47
Riddellnixternal: ok, want me to do that?19:47
nixternalgo for it :)19:47
Riddellwhere does it fit in?19:48
Luremanchicken: if you did not find: just change Plugin version to 6 in /usr/share/services/kontact/basket.desktop and restart kontact19:48
manchickenLure: Really?19:49
Luremanchicken: yes19:49
Luremanchicken: we have rebuilt it (Hobbsee) just before release, but we forgot about desktop file19:49
nixternalRiddell: check the debian kde4 repos, they already started on the packaging of it19:49
Luremanchicken: we could probably ask for sru as many users complained and fix is obvious19:50
manchickenOMFG Lure's a freakin' genius!19:50
RiddellLure: go ahead19:50
LureRiddell: need to check universe processes, sometimes they are more strict than for main...19:51
Riddellby the way, anyone have an opinion on not having ksplash in hardy?19:51
nixternalwhat would you do with it?19:51
Riddellthrow it away19:52
Riddella la ubuntu19:52
nixternalwhere it is just blank until everything loads up?19:52
Riddellyes19:52
nixternalhrmm, don't bother me truthfully...but I do like the simple one that I think mhb made, or it maybe have been fdoving19:52
Nightrosegiving feedback to the user ftw! - usability wise removing that would be very bad without giving some kind of indication something is done19:53
LureRiddell: fine with me actually, current one is not very descriptive anyhow19:53
fdovingnixternal: probably mhb, though i use the theme named "Simple"19:53
nixternalfdoving: ok, I couldn't remember which one of you tweaked the simple ksplash and made it look cool19:53
fdovingi didn't :)19:54
manchickenLure: Do you have any idea how much easier you just made my life?  Much thanks.19:54
Luremanchicken: ;-)19:54
* Lure will prepare sru to make others happy too ;-)19:54
manchickenMy client is so scatter-brained that I'm having to take lots of notes, and it's just hard to keep the notes organized in knotes.19:54
manchickenBaskets is just the ideal program for that sort of thing.19:55
fdovingmanchicken: tried kjots ?19:58
CPrgmSwR2Where is the packages for kde4 beta4?19:58
manchickenNot.19:58
manchickennope*19:59
mhbnixternal: that'd be me20:00
manchickenWait, is kjots the program that stores regular notes hierarchically?20:01
mhbnixternal: I like it, too .o)20:01
mhbnixternal: of course, two entities must like it in order to push it - Riddell and the majority :o)20:03
mhbRiddell: if you ask me, I'd have some sort of indication that the system loads up ... KDE loads a wee bit slower than GNOME does here20:04
mhbRiddell: I'm for a lighter splash all the way, though.20:04
jpatrickRiddell: suse kdebase patch for LUKS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42840/20:04
Riddelljpatrick: put it into bzr if you want20:07
jpatrickRiddell: affirmative20:07
mhbRiddell: what do you think about it?20:10
Riddellmhb: dunno, I've removed ksplash on my machine for now, waiting for a reboot to see what I think20:12
mhbRiddell: a simple ksplash (like I did) can speed up the KDE start (few seconds gain)20:13
fdovingnone probably gains even more.20:13
NightroseRiddell: see http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/amarok-devel/2007-October/000724.html20:13
mhbempty splash could go a little further, but it shouldn't be long20:13
mhberr, that much20:14
mhblet's hear Riddell's analysis20:16
LureRiddell: first time preparing package for -proposed: what do I need to change to get it uploaded to right repo?20:17
LureRiddell: and version is by standard .1, right?20:17
=== jjesse_ is now known as jjesse
nixternalRiddell: which kde4 packages are you going to do now?20:20
nixternalthat way there, once they are up, I can put them in my schroot and finish off the rest20:20
Riddellnixternal: strigi, kdebase-workspace, kdebase-runtime, extragear-plasma20:20
nixternalOK, I don't think I need to depend on any of them for the rest of the packages20:21
nixternalyou guys see Ubuntu is now being sold in Walmart? gOS20:23
mhbRiddell: so what about the ksplash?20:24
Riddellmhb: I commented above ("dunno...")20:25
mhbRiddell: yeah, I just thought you rebooted now that you speak :o)20:25
Riddellmhb: no, I'm waiting until my laptop does it for me, which usually isn't long20:26
RiddellNightrose: kubuntu doesn't add ~/Music to amarokrc by default.  I'd worry that if we did we'd lose the "Build Collection" button that new users get20:26
NightroseRiddell: i see - don't know enough about that to give you any hint here but when the time for a decision comes just talk to one of our devs - I will post you links to further replies when there are any20:28
ryanakcahmm... random idea for Hardy, take it or leave it, but maybe create a Documents/ , Music/ , Pictures/ in /etc/skel/ , and then if we wanted, set the appropriate KDE icons for the directories?20:29
Riddellryanakca: see http://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuHardyCatchup20:29
ryanakcaRiddell: thanks20:29
ryanakcaRiddell: cool, so, with XDG Home Dirs, XDG would create a directory specifically for say "Music", and then it would inform all programs that the default location for music is in "Music/" ?20:33
ryanakcaand likewise for documents, pictures, downloads, video, etc?20:34
