jetsaredimalso, i enabled those repos - changed hardy to gutsy - and there doesn't seem to be any updates14:56
Hobbseedid you do an update after that?14:56
jetsaredimyea14:56
jetsaredimdo i need more than just main?14:57
jetsaredimok - enabled restricted, uni, multi14:59
jetsaredimwhere is the gpg for this server?14:59
Hobbseesee kubuntu.org information15:03
jetsaredim.org?15:03
Hobbsee...yes.15:03
* jetsaredim searches15:05
jpatrickjetsaredim: look at the beta3 page15:07
jetsaredimjpatrick: i don't see any gpg information there15:11
jpatrickjetsaredim: "wget http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg"15:12
bddebianHeya15:15
jetsaredimalso - something i just realized - is that the beta3 instructions only tell you how to install the code packages, but that doesn't install all of the kde4 packages, does it?15:18
jpatrickjetsaredim: it installs only the base, but you can install all the others if you want15:23
jetsaredimjust tried that, but it fails to find some packages15:24
jpatrickwell, I have no idea then..15:24
jetsaredimi suppose that would explain why i never had a useible kde4 install15:25
jpatrickwhen I tried out beta3 it was pretty stable15:26
jetsaredimright - but if you don't install all of the kde4* packages it doesn't really work too well15:26
jetsaredimhad always wondered why it looked hosed15:28
jetsaredimmight have been nice if it were also noted in the beta page15:28
Tm_Tjpatrick: recursive chown to whole d3lphin dir would be better, I'm sure there's more of them having icky15:49
Tm_Tjpatrick: anyway, I have to go so have fun ;) ->15:50
jpatrickTm_T: ah, right, I thought there was something bad thing about it :>15:50
Tm_Tjpatrick: no really, it's just messy if five people is yelling same case15:51
Tm_Tbut I'm gone ->15:51
jpatrickhave fun!15:51
ElmerMiddHi everyone!15:53
ElmerMiddDropped by to tell you that i can no longer connect to the internet on kubuntu gutsy15:53
ElmerMiddIt was working last night, and this morning it was no longer connected, and won't connect again.15:54
ElmerMiddwhen forcing ifup i get an error-message saying something like 'siocaddrt: no such process'15:54
jpatrickElmerMidd: tried "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" ?15:55
ElmerMiddNo problems connecting to the net from windows (embarassing)15:55
ElmerMiddnope. but i didn't do anything to shut it down either...15:55
jpatricksudo /etc/init.d/networking start ? :)15:56
ElmerMiddok. i'll give it a go. but while i'm still here, i'd like to mention some other small things:15:57
ElmerMiddyou are probably aware that java-runtime won't install from apt-get?15:57
* jpatrick don't use java so no15:57
ElmerMiddand in the norwegian version of kubuntu, the systemsettings -> screen/monitor is in japanese.15:58
jpatrick...15:58
Captain_RedbeardElmerMidd, get with the flow, learn japaneese15:58
Captain_RedbeardNo but seriously... I think that15:59
Captain_Redbeardit's a KDE problem rather than a kubuntu one15:59
ElmerMiddi'm trying to work on my korean, so it would be a lot easier if it was in english, french, german, swedish, danish or... norwegian! ;-)15:59
Captain_RedbeardSvenska 4tw15:59
ElmerMiddsvensk would work better than japanese, for sure!15:59
Captain_RedbeardI don't know if the norweigian i18 translation is at 100% yet tbh16:00
ElmerMiddwell, it was in norwegian, i think, in 7.0416:00
Captain_RedbeardJa norska heter ju norska och inte svenska på grund av politiska skäl snarare än språkligt gramatiska :P16:00
ElmerMiddor at least in english. don't remember.16:00
Captain_RedbeardHowever... have you checked the KDE bug database for it?16:00
Captain_RedbeardIf not... submit a ticket to the lads and hopefully it will be sorted before 4.0 ;)16:01
ElmerMiddvel, norsk har vel MINST like lang historie som svensk... og når får vi herjedalen og værmtland tilbake?! ;-)16:01
RiddellElmerMidd: screen translation bug is a known issue, will be fixed with language pack update16:01
=== neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde
RiddellElmerMidd: network not working is likely a linux issue and we're not the experts there16:02
ElmerMiddthanks everyone! i'll try your tip and see if i can sort it out. I'll try to let you know.16:03
ElmerMiddreboot again... :-P16:03
Captain_RedbeardElmerMidd, when do we get your whole country back ;)16:03
jpatricktoo late!16:04
Captain_RedbeardOwned :(16:04
Captain_RedbeardHmm.. is there any "things that has to be done"-list for the next release so I've got something to work on? :P16:05
jpatrickCaptain_Redbeard: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuHardyCatchup ?16:06
Captain_Redbeardjpatrick, thank you thank you... :)16:09
ElmerMiddhi again!16:09
ElmerMiddsudo /etc/init.d/networking start  did not work... same error.16:09
ElmerMiddsiocaddr: no such process16:10
ElmerMiddany ideas that doesn't involve changing distro?16:10
Captain_Redbeard[17:03] <Captain_Redbeard> ElmerMidd, when do we get your whole country back ;)16:10
ElmerMiddwhen you stop occupying southern finland. maybe.16:11
ElmerMidd:-)16:11
Captain_RedbeardElmerMidd, Well all of finland are belongs to us as well :)16:11
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
Captain_RedbeardElmerMidd, what does ifconfig report?16:11
ElmerMiddreboot again?! :-P16:11
Captain_RedbeardOh you dual boot? :O16:12
Captain_RedbeardOk before you reboot16:12
ElmerMiddyes. i feel dirty using windows now...16:12
Captain_Redbeardcopy/pastebin this for me please: ifconfig output, lsmod output and dhclient output16:12
ElmerMiddnot possibel. i can't get on the net!16:12
ElmerMiddfrom linux..16:12
Captain_Redbeardoh lol16:12
Captain_Redbeardcant you paste it into a text file and retrieve it from windows?16:13
ElmerMiddthat would be possible.16:13
Captain_Redbeardor no lol... inwdows can't handle ext3... but maybe your linux can handle NTFS?16:13
ElmerMiddno, my windows can handle ext3 ;-)16:13
Captain_Redbeard:D16:13
ElmerMiddhow do i get the dhclient output?16:14
Captain_Redbeardwell you type: dhclient eth0 and observes what it bounces back to you ;)16:14
Captain_Redbeardor better yet16:14
Captain_Redbeardsudo dhclient eth0 > outputfile16:14
Captain_Redbeardbut hmm16:15
ElmerMiddok... i'll give it a try and i'll be back in a few minutes.16:15
Captain_RedbeardI'm at work, and I just got off...so maybe I won't be here to answer you16:15
Captain_Redbeardbut with that information in hand anyone here could sort you out mate16:15
ElmerMiddok. i'll give it a try. Thanks!16:15
Captain_Redbeardgood luck :)16:16
ElmerMiddi think i'll need it... thanks again!16:16
ElmerMiddstill there redbeard?16:27
ElmerMiddgot the pastebin-thing ready if you anyone wants to have a look.16:29
ElmerMiddhttp://pastebin.com/d17c7b7c16:30
ElmerMiddI don't think the lsmod is to interesting. I can already connect to the router. it's getting past the router that's the problem it seems like...16:30
jpatrickElmerMidd: never seen one of those before, prehaps #kubuntu might help?16:31
* jpatrick points to the LongPointyStick16:31
RiddellElmerMidd: is that ip address right?  seems strange to get a public address (80.x.x.x) from a private network (10.x.x.x)16:31
ElmerMiddhmmm... maybe download.mandriva.com can help? ;-)16:31
ElmerMiddthe ip is not right. it should be 10.0.0.xxx16:32
jpatrickaha!16:32
RiddellElmerMidd: so sounds like there's a rouge dhcp server on your network16:32
ElmerMiddi've tried to set it manually, but still no luck.16:32
ElmerMiddhmmm... but why can i get internet-access from windows and not from linux then?16:33
Riddelltis indeed strange16:33
ElmerMiddand annoying!16:33
ElmerMiddyour ears would bleed if you'd heard me today...16:33
ElmerMiddis it possible that it has something to do with the kernel in 7.10? is it possible to apt-get the kernel from 7.04? or would that just cause more problems?16:35
jpatrickElmerMidd: couldn't you manually set the settings?16:38
ElmerMiddi've tried. no luck.16:38
ElmerMiddno difference. but then again i'm no network wiz...16:38
jpatrickneither am I...16:39
ElmerMiddit's not often that i experience that it's easier to get on the net from windows than from linux...16:40
ElmerMiddi'll doublecheck the manual settings before i start downloading mandriva....16:42
ElmerMiddthanks for your time guys!16:43
DaSkreechHi all16:50
Hobbseegreetings16:50
* DaSkreech waves at Hobbsee and Jucato16:50
Jucatolive long and prosper!16:50
ElmerMiddallright! finally back on the net from linux. now with manual settings.16:50
ElmerMiddnot sure what i did different :-P16:51
ElmerMiddthanks for your time guys! (and girls if any)16:51
* Hobbsee is, but didnt help :P16:51
Jucatoyou didn't poke with your LongPointyStick.... that's enough help :)16:52
ElmerMiddHaha!16:52
Hobbseehehe16:52
ElmerMiddanyway... off to see what's on the internets today! :-)16:52
ElmerMiddbye!16:53
* DaSkreech ponder the nick ElmerFUD16:53
jpatrickDaSkreech: FUD ?16:55
DaSkreechYeah16:56
DaSkreechLike PingFloyd16:56
DaSkreechKinda name only a geek could love16:56
jpatrickah right16:57
DaSkreechJucato: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071113-opendocument-foundation-closes-up-shop-after-slamming-opendocument-format.html17:07
DaSkreech\o/17:07
Jucatoheh yeah17:07
DaSkreechI still don't get the w3c's move for CDF though17:08
Jucatoyou didn't read the interview with the w3c guy?17:08
JucatoCDF isn't meant to be a document standard the way ODF is. it's not on the same level17:09
JucatoDaSkreech: http://www.consortiuminfo.org/standardsblog/article.php?story=2007110907001224417:10
DaSkreechthanks17:11
Jucatothey had to close shop after that article was released. too much embarrassment :)17:12
DaSkreechWell yeah having the general tech community laugh in general direction then turn around and walk off reminds you of oooh say SCO17:12
Jucatoif you read that article, you'll find out it's more than just the laughter :)17:13
DaSkreechThe laughter is enough17:15
* DaSkreech laughs at Mary Jo Foley17:16
jpatricklol17:18
jcastronixternal: ping me when you're around pls!17:40
mhbevening17:59
jpatrickevin18:00
mhbRiddell: combined char input method doesn't work in Kubuntu KDE Hardy, works in GNOME apps18:04
mhbRiddell: we already had this kind of bug in Feisty cycle, AFAIK18:04
Riddellmhb: mm, could well be that pesky visibility patch in qt18:05
Riddellwhich I was, once again, promised would cause no problems this time18:05
Riddellmhb: if you fancy testing remove the patch from qt-x11-free debian/patches/series and recompile18:05
Riddelland maybe also recompile kdelibs against it18:05
mhbokay, I will do that later18:06
=== coreymon is now known as coreymon77
mikkaelwill the next kde4 snapshot be the beta 4 or more recent svn snapshot ?18:12
Riddellmore recent beta18:15
sebasrc you mean? :)18:16
coreymon77Riddell: im just curious, is kde4 gonna be default de for hardy18:16
coreymon77?18:16
sebasNope18:16
jpatrickcoreymon77: no, it's too "unstable" for a Long Term Support release18:17
Riddellshould be for edubuntu18:17
coreymon77hardys lts?18:17
coreymon77oh18:18
coreymon77will there be supported apt binary pacakges for it?18:18
Riddellfor the parts in main, otherwise in universe18:20
coreymon77man, it really ticks me off when people use a beta and then complain that its unstable18:21
coreymon77beta means beta!18:21
coreymon77if you dont want to deal with unstable, dont use a beta!18:22
sebasOr don't upgrade to Gutsy, in my three cases.18:22
coreymon77gutsy aseems fine for me18:23
coreymon77im talking about kde4 here, people installing the beta, then complaining that its unstable and buggy18:23
coreymon77of course it is! thats why its called beta!18:23
sebasIt's not that unstable for me.18:24
sebasI think in general complaining is a bad thing, though.18:24
coreymon77well, the bell just rang18:25
coreymon77time to go18:25
mhbRiddell: the 05_hidden_visibility patch?18:27
Riddellmhb: kubuntu_05_gcc_hidden_visibility.dpatch18:30
mhbRiddell: right, thanks18:31
Riddell00list is where is needs to be removed from18:32
mhbRiddell: I've recompiled Qt, haven't tested it yet but I guess it is even more likely that it is that patch - my Qt4/KDE4 apps are unaffected19:18
mhbRiddell: confirmed, recompiled Qt and newly started KDE apps seem to work fine19:19
Riddellmhb: I had a feeling it would cause trouble (again)19:23
Riddellmhb: did you need to recompile kdelibs?19:23
mhbno19:23
Riddellok, easy enough to revert then19:23
mhbwhat does that patch fix?19:24
=== apachelogger_ is now known as apachelogger
jpatrickRiddell: would it be an idea to sync k3b-i18n from Debian?19:55
yuriyhttp://liquidat.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/qpackagekit.png <- what's requres supposed to mean?20:18
* yuriy doesn't like that interface20:18
jpatrickyuriy: that's a great question20:19
* yuriy realizes it's far from complete though20:19
yuriys/requres/requires20:19
* jpatrick would remove the "i386"s tho20:20
jpatrickI mean, it's understood what archtype the things downloading20:20
Tm_TTonio_: you there?20:51
Riddelljpatrick: yes, that should be good20:59
Riddellmhb: the patch lets gcc hide a lot of symbols in libraries, which means they load up faster20:59
mhbah21:01
nixternalhola21:46
DaSkreechaye21:46
nixternalbooyah!21:46
nixternalI aced my c++ project and even gained 15% extra credit21:47
begert_nice21:47
DaSkreechFor doing it in a OS written in C++ instead of VB ?21:47
nixternalheck no, cuz my project roxored their socks off21:47
begert_what was the project?21:48
nixternalit was good though, because I got to actually learn how to use valgrind and gdb a heck of a lot better21:48
nixternalthis project was part 1 of a distributed backup framework that myself and 2 others decided we would do21:49
nixternalI couldn't think of anything original :)21:49
begert_still sounds good21:49
nixternaland one of the things students brought up that they would like to see done, was a way for them to backup their hard drives in a safe way21:50
nixternalwe still have a few bugs to work out and would like to extend it from just a few nodes to as many nodes as possible...kind of like a combo of seti@home and bittorrent21:51
nixternalseti in the way of multiple systems running the framework, and bittorrent in the way of creating small packets for transfering back and forth between the nodes21:51
begert_hmm, thats interesting, do the nodes have a concept of the data, or is it just a chunk of backed up hardrive?21:52
nixternalright now just a chunk21:53
begert_and multiple nodes would have the same chunk ?21:54
nixternalnext is getting it to drop off a bit of data at each node, but then putting extra chunks of the same data at different nodes so that in case of a node crash or loss, there will be no data loss21:54
nixternaland then after that comes the encryption portion21:54
begert_right, thats a pretty sweet project21:54
begert_I imgagine the tricky part would be in somehow making sure all chunks are available by all nodes21:56
nixternalwell, lucky us, if we do decide to go further, there is a company here in Chicago that already does a project similar to ours21:57
begert_it would be cool if you could scan the nodes and if a chunk is not found redistribute from a local copy of the back-up21:57
nixternaldifference being, we want ours to work on any platform21:57
nixternalthat is what it will do eventually21:57
begert_nice21:57
nixternalor at least what we would like it to do21:58
begert_;) , time for me to head home from work21:58
begert_laterz21:58
nixternallater21:58
nixternalI still have more class tonight...yay21:58
nixternalI can never get a break21:59
nixternaldude, I am ready to write my own OS...who's with me? :p22:01
mhbnixternal: fat chance22:07
mhbnixternal: well maybe, after I prove P=NP I might consider joining your group22:08
DaSkreechnixternal: In Java?22:09
nixternalDaSkreech: c++22:20
begertahhh, home :P22:20
DaSkreech:-)22:21
nixternaljava would suck to do a framework in...java is good for one thing, multi-platform, super portable, gui applications22:23
nixternalif it doesn't have a gui, then java shouldn't be a choice22:23
Riddelldunno about that, it's pretty popular for web server bits22:24
mhbthe urge... to flame... too strong22:24
RiddellI only know one decent GUI app in java22:25
* sebas blinks22:25
mhbjava apps are portable, but they usually look out-of-place on most platforms22:25
mhbGUI22:25
mhbI mean the "swing" API (or whatever it is called, I am no Java exper)22:26
nixternalRiddell: j2ee maybe, but not straight java22:26
mhbI think with Jambi it might be a bit different, but Jambi's not widely used yet22:27
nixternalmhb: you are correct...the swing api is the latest gui api for java...it replaced, or in the process of replacing the awt api gui objects22:27
nixternalmhb: jambi makes your app look more KDE22:27
sebasRiddell: Which app is that?22:27
Riddellsebas: eclipse seems popular22:28
sebasEclipse is a mystery to me.22:28
nixternalI mainly use eclipse...w/o a doubt my favorite ide22:28
nixternalsebas: I wish I could use KDevelop a lot better than what I can currently22:28
Riddellswing is horrific, swt seems passable22:28
sebasIt's so complex (like the rest of java I know) that I'm afraid of een starting it22:29
nixternalRiddell: deffinitely swt over swing any day22:29
nixternalone of the projects I am working on now uses swt and thus far it is pretty sharp22:30
DaSkreechJava isn't that complex unltil you start building cathedrals22:31
sebasOr try to do trivial things22:40
