nosrednaekimstdin: looks like that package works fine..01:23
nosrednaekimstdin: wrote a simple little program and it works as its supposed to. tried writing a little bit more complicated one and its not working, but I think thats MY problem01:24
stdinnosrednaekim: great, thanks for testing. it is svn so there are probably some bugs in it anyway01:24
nosrednaekimstdin: Its definately my error, QImage doesn't have some of the methods i'm used to so I can figure out how to actually display the dang thing. XD01:25

stdinfigure what out exactly?01:33
nosrednaekimstdin: did you package it? its in none of the packages.01:34
stdinall the docs that came with pykde4 are in -doc01:35

buzi'm trying to come up with a solution for a randr 1.2 dual head issue09:00
buzbasically, xrandr can do dual head, but it won't allow higher resolution than (widest screen)^2 unless you create a virtual display higher than that in xorg.conf09:01
buzthere ought to be a more easy way for that09:01
alleeHolbuz: well, if 'virtual display' would be adjusted automaticly by the xserver....  ;)09:13
alleeHolbuz: but that something for upstream.09:13
buzwell i'm not sure what xorg 7.3 does09:14
buzshould probably try it on hardy first09:14
buzgutsy's X is a weird beast, to say the least09:14
buzbtw, allee you have a latitude d830 right?09:14
alleeHolbuz: right.  And for whatever reason I had this morning much X trouble I never had before09:15
buzdo you have the docking station for it?09:15
alleeHolyeap09:15
buzdid you get hot dokcing to work?09:15
buzmine freezes unless i suspend it first09:15
sebastian^good morning folks09:16
alleeHolbuz:  I've plugged in without noticeable problem.  But for undock I have to suspend/hibernate first,  but it's this the same for windows? (never tried)09:16
alleeHolsebastian^: morning09:16
buzno idea, i cant stand windows for long enough09:16
buzwhat alsa version do you run?09:17
buz(i've seen plenty of weird differences between alsa versions)09:17
alleeHolbuz: the backport module09:17
buzoh right09:17
buzi'm using 1.0.15 against 2.6.23.9 right now09:17
alleeHolI'm still patient and use whatever kubuntu archive give me (well, not always ;)09:18
buzi have tried 2.6.24rc4 (finally comes with ipw3945 drivers) but i cant compile alsa against it09:18
buzand stock alsa doesnt support audio09:18
alleeHolI assume next alsa snapshot will support linux rc snapshot again09:19
buzi hope so. i have filed a bug report anyway09:20
alleeHolthis can't hurt09:20
buzand maybe next alsa will finally allow for use of volume buttons again when using the docking station :)09:20
alleeHolbuz: I use an apply keyboard and volume buttons work with the doching station ;)09:21
buzwell they move the master slider in my case. which is somehow not at all useful for the docking station port09:21
buzthat one seems to be driven by pcm slider09:21
buzsuffice to say, i have come to passionately hate alsa09:22
alleeHolone can tell kmix what slider to move afair09:22
* alleeHol fires amarok and tries ...09:22
buzwell the master slider controls the headphone port :P09:22
buzwhich is useful when not docked09:22
alleeHolbuz: ah right, that what I use when docked.  Forgot to test if docking audio out if working with new linux backport modules09:23
buzi have had limited success with backport, so at some point i gave up on it09:24
buzthe saddest part: on 2.6.22-12 with alsa-driver-1.0.15rc1 everything worked...09:24
alleebuz: I can confirm (unvoluntarily) that unpluging without suspend, freezes the d830 :(09:29
buzany place where one should report that?09:30
buzof course, suspend isnt entirely the nicest thing either, because after resume cpufreq stops working :(09:30
alleebuz: I assume that's kernel business.   AFAIR when I press the 'unlock' button an 'undock' event is received.   but that's all09:32
buzthat button doesnt really seem to much at all on windows, iirc09:33
buzi pressed it once for the heck of it, not much result09:33
buz(same on thinkpads, btw)09:33
alleecan't remember I've only booted twice into vista when I bought the laptop09:34
buzoh i bought mine without OS :)09:34
buzvista amounts to cruel and unusual punishment in my book09:34
alleebuz: I was curious.  But obviously not very long.  so at the end it was a waste ;)09:35
buzoh i already had the experience on a thinkpad09:35
buzno desire to repeat it09:35
buzlike you, i booted it about 2 or 3 times09:36
alleeyeah, next a d630 is ordered without os already ;)09:36
alleebuz: what I dislike most is that qt can handle only one dpi setting.  So a highres laptop display and a normal TFT monitor do not look good together09:37
buzoh yeah09:37
buztell me about it. i have a 1920x1200 display in the notebook and a 24" next to it09:37
buzone way or another, it looks weird09:37
Seregagood day09:37
buzrunning it at 120dpi is sort of a workable compromise09:38
alleethe d630 will have 100 dpi also and will as 'workstation'09:38
buzwell i consider 100dpi to be too low09:38
buzi'd get a 17" 1920x1200 lcd if i could09:38
alleebuz: I've given up and use the laptop with lid closed.  Everything else is too anoying09:38
buznah  i need the two screens09:38
buzi usuually run irc, im and email on the notebook09:38
buzwork on the 24"09:38
* Jucato waves hello from a corner of the room...09:39
buzbut this 24" is crud. the first one i got on tuesday made humming noise. so i returned it only to get another one that's is humming09:39
buzacer's quality control must be inexistant09:39
alleebuz: afaiu the big docking station can have an GFX card.  So maybe with this you can use 2 TFT monitors09:39
buzactually you can run two screens with the small one09:40
buzthe internatl screen will stop working09:40
buzi was really surprised when i noticed that09:40
alleemhmm, right.  xrandr seems to  hint it as vga is listed09:40
buzyeah you force it to do that09:41
buzi have been in fact thinking of getting two 24" :)09:41
buzbut i actually like the 150dpi screen in the notebook09:41
buzso i decided not to09:41
alleeyeah, highres is nice in linux (and unusable in windows and gnome before feisty)09:43
buzso what09:43
buzsadly, you cant use composite on such big dual head09:43
buzbut then again, composite is more of a playtoay anyway09:44
alleebut I like the external big screen more than suffering using different dpi  settings09:44
buzgive using vga and dvi thru docking station a try09:45
buzshould give you external dual head09:45
alleemhm, composite should work, if it would not be blacklisted.  I have  Virtual         4096 1296   and hw accel is still working09:46
alleeheah, I will try the 2 tfts at work.  Thx for the hint!!09:47
buzis that nvidia or gma?09:47
buzyou work around the blacklisting09:47
buz SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz --replace09:47
alleegma09:48
buzlets see if x crashes09:48
buzoh it works09:49
buzsort of09:49
buzthe usual weirdness around kde menu bars09:49
buzNEAT09:49
buzmaybe someone could fix kwin_composite to work on gma some day :)09:49
alleeyeah.09:49
buzi could live with compiz save for the borders around some elements09:50
alleemhmm, I should try later with a kde4 (svn) session09:50
buzi havent get it to work in opengl mode09:50
buzit does something in xrender mode, but not quite what i would expect09:50
buzuhm lol09:51
buzthe last edge of the screen where the desktop should reside is not redrawing09:51
buzis kdesktop living within kwin?09:51
allee? no they are 2 different progs in kde3.  in kde4 desktop and panel are merged into plasma09:53
buzok so that was x crashing :P09:55
alleehehe :)09:55
buzso much for compiz09:55
buzseen a kwin_composite video on planet09:55
buzsure looks neat if only it would work09:55
alleeI've only interested in the better handling of multible desktop and windows that composite make possible.09:57
buzwell things like live icons when hovering over task bars or expose are very neat10:01
buzwobbly windows are good to shut up osx users, but other than that? not really useful10:01
allee:)10:02
Riddellkwin_composite works surpringly well for me10:03
buzalt tab with window brightness adjusting is also useful10:05
buzi dont really believe in transparent windows though10:05
buzbut you're on nvidia right?10:20
Riddellno10:34
RiddellS310:34
Riddellno accelarated support at all10:34
* Hobbsee frowns that windows has no compiz10:35
Riddellvista has compositing10:35
buzyeah and unlike compiz, vista is actually stable10:36
buzit may not be particularly fast or pretty, but it never crashed on me10:38
* Hobbsee isn't using vista10:38
* allee never tried/knows about kwin_composite10:40
buznot sure whether the blame lies with the kubuntu pcakges, but kde4rc1 is still entirely unusable in my view10:42
buz(judging from statements on planet, it probably isnt kubuntu related)10:42
buzin my view, this is beta1 quality10:42
\shbuz, compositing on kde4 is far away from being stable...yes, but you could help to make it stable10:44
buz\sh: i cant even reliably START kde410:44
buzfor example, on my own account it crashes without any notice10:45
buzpretty hard to debug10:45
\shbuz, it's not for the normal user...kde4 will be a release for people coding with kde...kde 4.1 will be more for the masses...10:46
buzyeah i know10:46
alleebuz: rc1 had unfortunate timing.  One week later svn worked much better.10:47
alleeI've compile kdesvn ~ 2 per week and it getting better and better.  No proble with plasma in the last weeks10:47
buzallee: do you put your build on ppa?10:48
\shhmmm...do the kubuntu packages have debug enabled?10:48
Riddell\sh: kdelibs and pimlibs do if you install the -dbg package10:48
\shRiddell, so it should be easy to debug for people knowing their gdb10:49
Riddell\sh: should be10:52
Riddellas long as the issue is in libs10:52

SeregaI have found a bug related to kdesudo today's morning13:25
Riddellpoke Tonio_13:25
Tonio_Serega: which is ?13:25
Riddellit doesn't work with system settings for one13:27
Tonio_Riddell: already fixed13:27
Tonio_Riddell: I'll plan to release new tarball and package today13:27
SeregaTonio_: if I plug removable media during e.g. Adept works, there are two windows "What to do" appear. One from my user and another from root13:27
Tonio_Serega: that one is interesting13:28
Tonio_lemme try to reproduce13:28
SeregaTonio_: as a result if I choose the root's prompt, I will not be able to umount the media via "Safely remove"13:28
Tonio_which makes sense13:28
Tonio_now the big deal is "where is my usb key ?" :)13:29
SeregaTonio_: yeah. I found it out due to different system and my user locales :)13:29
Seregaso I got 2 prompts on different languages13:29
Serega:)13:29
Tonio_Serega: one for root and one for the user.....13:32
Seregaaha.... maybe two instances of some KDE services are up?13:32
Tonio_Serega: just found a microsd + adapter, let's test13:32
Tonio_Serega: I suspect so13:32
Tonio_ran without adept -> works13:32
Seregatrue13:33
Tonio_Serega: no problem here with new kdesudo codebase13:33
Tonio_Serega: fancy testing with new deb file ?13:34
SeregaTonio_: I trapped into it on current gutsy13:34
Tonio_Serega: you'll find a package here : http://tonio.homelinux.org/temp/13:34
Seregatest it for you?13:35
Tonio_please, since I can't seem to reproduce, I'll like you to confirm :)13:35
SeregaI'm at work now :(13:35
Tonio_ah..... well when you have time, please report to me if that worked :)13:35
SeregaTonio_: I wiil be able to test in evening13:35
SeregaTonio_: ok, of cause13:36
Serega*course13:36
Tonio_super13:36
* Serega forgot :)13:36
Tonio_Serega: I suspect that'll fix the issue, as kdesudo has been mostly rewritten recently13:36
Tonio_Serega: fixes almost all bugs reported to launchpad btw13:36
SeregaTonio_: you rock!13:37
Tonio_Serega: I try to, at least, which is a good step to eventually, in a far future.... :)13:39
Serega:)13:39
Tonio_fdoving: for the -t option, it looks like kdesudo already uses shell by default, due to sudo13:42
Tonio_fdoving: probably just adding a fake option for cmdline compatibility would suffice13:42
Tonio_fdoving: can you give me a use case to reproduce current problem ?13:47
=== Igorots is now known as Knightlust
ScottKRiddell: Any thoughts about maybe putting ktnef in Main for Hardy?  Personally, I get enough broken mail from Outlook/Exchange users in my work that I'd be pretty well dead without it.13:57
RiddellScottK: I've never worked out what TNEF files are14:02
Riddell /win 1314:02
Riddelltsk14:02
ScottKRiddell: It's a non-standard MIME type that either Outlook or Echange (not sure which) wraps around attachments in some configurations.14:02
ScottKSo the people I work with that have that config, when I get attachments from them they are totally unreadable in Kmail without Ktnef.14:03
RiddellScottK: do you think we should have it on the CD?14:03
ScottKWith it, it's click, click, open the attachment.14:03
ScottKRiddell: It would be very nice for interoperability to have it.14:03
ScottKGiven there are space constraints, I'd say it's not critical.  I'd have to weigh that against what you have to throw out to get it.14:04
ScottKI do think it should be part of the 'supported' Kubuntu package set.14:04
ScottKMy preference would be to install it by default so this 'just works'.14:04
=== Hobbsee_ is now known as Hobbsee
RiddellScottK: it seems to be a standalone application14:06
Riddelldoesn't it get run from within kmail?14:06
ScottKRiddell: I'll have to go back and check, but I think Kmail just knows to use it when it's installed due to mime type registration.14:06
ScottKIt can run as a standalone, but the primary use case is from within Kmail.14:07
ScottKI'm currently catching up on e-mail and noticing how useful it is in the case of you get mail like this.14:09
RiddellScottK: I don't like adding extra cruft to the kmenu14:12
RiddellScottK: do you know if it works with NoDisplay=true in /usr/share/applications/kde/ktnef.desktop ?14:12
ScottKRiddell: OK.  It used to not display.  I don't recall exactly how it was done.  Actually my first patch for Kubuntu was to enable the display (I didn't fully understand things then).14:13
ScottKI think so (that sounds right).14:13
ScottKRiddell: How about install by default, but no icon?14:13
Riddellcould be doable14:14
ScottKRiddell: OK.  Sounds like I have a spec to write or do you want to fold this into a higher level KDE for Hardy spec?14:15
RiddellScottK: this isn't spec material14:16
Riddellit's just deciding if we put it in universe or main and what needs done to the menu .desktop file14:17
Riddellmm, no14:17

ubotuLaunchpad bug 57666 in kdebase "Odd quirk when trying to install SMB Printers" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/5766618:02

Riddellsmarter: cool18:04
Riddellsmarter: can you take me through what your patch does, it's not code I'm at all familiar with18:05
Riddellcalling nmblookup and pasing the output?18:05
smarterRiddell: yes18:05
smarterRiddell: I've removed all the grep and sed things18:06
smarterRiddell: and I don't parse smbclient because the result are not always what they should be18:06
smarterRiddell: It's inspired by what system-config-printer does18:06
smarterRiddell: I've also disabled the -A<file with username and password> option for anonymous login because it's not needed and doesn't work18:07
Riddellsmarter: so without the grep and sed bits does it still give usable output?18:07
Riddellneversfelde: were you going to test qt 4 and xinerama?18:08
smarterRiddell: yes because I check with "if (words[1] != "<00>" || words[3] == "<GROUP>")"18:08
neversfeldeRiddell: sorry, for not testing xinerama and qt 4. My isp has some problems and I have no internet connection at home18:09

neversfeldeproblems should be solved tomorrow morning and I can test then, if it is still needed?18:09
Riddellneversfelde: actually I just found someone else to do it18:09
Riddellneversfelde: although a second opinion is always useful18:09
neversfeldeRiddell: ok, i will try it18:09

buzhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault anyone tried this? sounds basically like a gui to rsync?20:35
jpatrickRiddell: I think we can sync qgis20:38
jpatrick(or maybe I just don't understand what this thing does...)20:42
fdovingbuz: you can probably compare it to rsync, with the --suffix or --backup-dir options. with one dir per date, for example. and then hardlink the not-modified files.20:42
buzyeah20:42
fdovingor rdiff-backup.20:43
buzthat's basically what i do to backup my home dir20:43
fdovingwhich i use alot.20:43
buzactually its based upon rsync :)20:43
buzi dont trust rdiff-backup20:43
buzi've seen it fail in weird ways in the past20:43
buzrsync may be less efficient, but its dumb simple at least20:43
fdovingdo you keep incremental backups, or just one mirror?20:45
buznine generations20:46
buzbut my home minus multimedia stuff is only 9G20:46
fdovingso 9 complete mirrors ?20:47

fdovingnot much difference then.20:47
buzrdiff is more efficient in general20:47

nixternalnope, they don't look the same21:51
tmskenixternal: is the netbeans thing a bug, or would it work for me, I could install netbeans for now to do some java stuff...21:52
nixternaltry to install netbeans and see if it works for you, it definitely doesn't work for me right now21:53
nixternalit is a locking issue with the jvm21:53
nixternaljava: xcb_xlib.c:82: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed21:53
tmskenixternal: netbeans from website or from apt?21:53

nixternaleverytime we had a sun-java update around here, it would constantly break netbeans from the website21:54
tmskeok, ill try it21:54
mhbRiddell: have you tried to get the Drupal finally up?21:57
tmskeshould I report my eclipse problem as a bug, or do you think it's a fault of mine?21:58
mhbthe admin behaviour really demotivates me, to be honest.21:58
nixternalreport it as a bug...maybe someone has experienced the same and if it isn't a bug you can at least get it fixed..but right now, I would say it is a bug of some sort21:58
tmskenixternal: netbeans crashes here too, looks like this is a bug21:58
nixternalprobably a java bug then22:01

nixternalicedtea is close, but not quite there22:23
nixternalgcj should never be considered a "different java", it should be considered utter garbage :)22:24
tmskewell, I would test it with icedtea, but it wants to remove libungif4g, and some packages need it (digikam, dolphin, mplayer...)22:25
nixternalthat is because someone needs to fix the icedtea package22:26
nixternalit is all about the QA! or the lack of I guess :)22:26
