nixternalok, been laying around the past couple of days quite ill, read the "Foundation of Qt Development" all the way through and danimo's "The book of Qt4"...I am ready to start hacking!00:01
Jucatoaw... you feeling better now? :(00:02
nixternalI just realized, I have 5 books on Qt development00:02
nixternalno, still feeling pretty bad00:02
nixternalI come back to the puter for a few minutes once or twice a day00:02
Jucato:(00:03
Jucatodon't read my post then... might make you feel worse00:03
nixternalto late :p00:03
Jucatobut good for you you have 5 books :)00:03
Jucatoall Qt 4?00:03
nixternalya00:03
nixternal4 C++ and 1 Python00:03
Jucatonvm the Python00:03
Jucatolol :D00:03
nixternalhahaha00:03
* Jucato hides from mhb00:03
nixternalI am with you on that...I am still not a fan of it myself00:03
nixternalI have been doing project euler stuff with c++ and python, and c++ is just faster and easier to code for me00:04
Jucatoit's not bad. but the python book I got seems to be crap for beginners... even though it claims to be for beginners...00:04
VorianJucato, the o'reiley one?00:05
nixternalBeginning Python?00:05
Jucatono. APress00:05
nixternalwith all the GTK crap in it?00:05
JucatoPractical Python00:05
nixternalya, I have that book and Beginning Python (Wrox publishing)00:05
nixternalboth blow pretty hard00:05
Jucatoheh :)00:05
nixternalthe best Python book I have read thus far, is the damn PyQt4 book00:05
nixternalthe first 3 chapters are purely python, and super easy to follow and pickup00:06
nixternalthen again, every Mark Summerfield book is pretty good00:06
nixternalgreat, snow on the way, up to 8 inches00:06
nixternalnot liking this00:06
JucatoI though the Practical Python book would be good, seeing that there seems to be really practical applications being taught in there... but the introductory parts of the book weren't that good... and those were the parts that introduced python for beginners00:06
Vorianyah, any Frank Herbert book is good too.00:06
* Vorian hides00:06
Voriannixternal, that's a crazy amount of snow... again00:07
Jucatosnow...00:07
Jucatothe only snow I have is on my wallpaper :D00:07
Vorianha!00:07
Jucatoer.. "desktop background"00:07
Vorianthat's too bad :(00:07
nixternalwe have been in the upper 40s all week pretty much00:08
nixternalI think the weather changing is what is killing me00:08
Jucatoah finally jjesse's blog is on the planet!00:08
Jucatonixternal: I'm vulnerable to that too :(00:08
Jucatoluckily the weather the past days have been constant: warm/hot00:09
Jucatohottest Christmas evar!00:09

jjesseok question on compiling kde4, getting an error on kdepimlibs "ERROR: Could not find KDE4 kde4-config" runing as my primary user and i have sourced a .bashrc already02:33
cheguevara_jjesse: stupid check but you got kdelibs compiled?02:40
Jucatojjesse: "which kde4-config" ?02:46
jjessecheguevara_: yes i got kdelibs compiled03:08
jjessehrm nothing shows up for which kde4-config03:08
cheguevara_updatedb && locate kde4-config03:08
Jucatojjesse: maybe the correct KDEDIR hasn't been set...03:09
cheguevara_then check that wherever it finds it is under "env | grep PATH"03:09
Jucato(that too)03:09
jjessepastebin for env03:10
jjessehttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3065/03:11
jjesselocate pastebin: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3066/03:11
Jucatojjesse: is kde4-config in kde/bin?03:11
jjesseJucato: which kde/bin?03:12
Jucato/home/jjesse/kde/bin (presuming that's where you're installing KDE4?)03:12
jjessein ~/kde/bin doesn't list kde4-config03:12
Jucatohm... that's a problem then...03:12
jjessefigured, i was able to install/build kdelibs03:13
Jucatomaybe your kdelibs didn't build properly, or the correct env vars weren't set.. (do you have $KDEDIR set?)03:13
cheguevara_because that doesn't really need anythithing kde-wise, only  some support libs03:13
jjessei source a .bashrc before i try to bid03:13
jjessebuild03:14
cheguevara_lets see the .bashrc03:14
jjesseits the script from techbase03:14
Jucatocheguevara_: which doesn't need anything kde-wise?03:14
jjessekdelibs doesn't need kde4-config03:14
cheguevara_kdelibs03:14
cheguevara_yeah03:14
Jucatoyes. kdelibs creates kde4-config :)03:14
cheguevara_yeah :P03:14
jjessethis is the .bashrc i'm using http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Getting_Started/Increased_Productivity_in_KDE4_with_Scripts/.bashrc03:15
Jucatojjesse: those 3 lines are the only output of the "env" command?03:15
cheguevara_jjesse: if its the exact one then it should be fine, i used that just a week ago03:15
=== uga is now known as uga|away
cheguevara_jjesse: are you following that guide to build/install it as well?03:15
jjessecheguevara_: did you have to change anything on it to run/build as your primary user?03:15
jjessecheguevara_: i'm using the guide on techbase03:16
jjessehttp://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Getting_Started/Build/KDE403:16
cheguevara_jjesse: i actually created a new user like a good boy that i am :P03:16
Jucatohe's using the guide to build kde4 not on a separate user, but on his primary (kde3) user03:16
* Jucato nods03:16
JucatoI ain't so daring either :P03:16
jjessefull output of ENV  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3067/03:16
jjessei had problems with KDE4 from the beta2 packags and people suggested i just build it myself to resolve those problems03:17
Jucatohm... looks ok...03:17
jjessei guess i could just install the beta packages again03:17
* Jucato wonders what went wrong...03:17
jjessethat are on kubuntu.org03:17
cheguevara_did you remove the previous packages03:17
Jucatorc2 you mean right :)03:17
jjesseyeah r203:17
nosredna_ekimits a beta2.... ;)03:18
Jucatohush! :P03:18
jjessecheguevara_: i had to because i was getting errors on soprano not being the right version03:18
cheguevara_jjesse: just create a new user, you'll make things easier for yourself03:18
jjessecheguevara_: but i really liked the look and feel of kde4 :)03:18
cheguevara_yeah so create a different user and use it from there :P03:19
jjessecheguevara_: i wastyring to use it as my day to day03:19
cheguevara_exactly 2 weeks left till final now :)03:19
jjessei guess i can wait till final then03:19
cheguevara_i use mine as main main DE as well03:19
cheguevara_latest SVN is pretty good03:20
cheguevara_haven't crashed once yet03:20
nosredna_ekimrc2 has only crashed once for me.... and that was because of Krita03:20
jjessei get crashes on my laptop all the time, screen freezes and won't respond, all the windows blur together, can't suspend, can't lock screen03:21
cheguevara_meh plasma in rc 2 died on me quiet a lot03:21
cheguevara_i wish novell would port knetworkmanager to kde 4 already03:22

nosredna_ekimheh03:23
Jucatoit's the most accurate article I've seen so far, though :D03:23
nosredna_ekimbesides your's ;)03:23
jjessei'm impressed on how much extr traffic i'm getting now that i added my blog to planet.ubuntu.com03:24
Jucato(except for the part that presumes that KDE 4 was planned for the LTS)03:24
Jucatoit's the only traffic I ever get :P03:24
cheguevara_are we gonna have 4.0.1 or going straight to 4.1 ?03:24
Jucato4.0 probably... when is 4.0.1 planned anyway? :D03:25
Jucatohey.... 4.0 isn't even out yet!!!03:25
Jucato:P03:25
cheguevara_yeah but i am worried about a bugfix release before April :P03:25
JucatoI guess it all depends... 4.0 or 4.0.1 with 3.5.8 or 3.5.903:25
cheguevara_yeah 3.5.9 should come out soon i think03:25
cheguevara_and be the last :P03:25
Jucatoit always depends on what KDE version is available at the nearest time to the release :)03:25
Jucatoaw... I was looking forward to 3.5.22-14 :(03:26
nosredna_ekimheh03:26
cheguevara_yeah just thinking about kde people releasing 4.0, then getting all excited about getting in all those moules that missed the freeze and just concentrating on that again :P03:26
Jucatoright... lunch :)03:27
* Jucato wonders if there's a KDE alphabet soup... with K's only :D03:27
cheguevara_haha03:27

Jucatohm... does that depend on Ubuntu switching to PackageKit or not?12:56
mhbno idea.12:56
mhbprobably.12:56
Jucatothat's going to be the problem... if Ubuntu doesn't make the switch, we're kinda left hanging, unless we dare to move to packagekit by ourselves, or port adept (eww?) or use something else...12:57

nixternalJucato: if Canonical doesn't want to create it, why can't we?16:36
nixternalKubuntu with KDE 3.5 is a great commercial platform, if it wasn't, then I wouldn't expect us to have the larger and more profound rollouts16:36
Jucatowe can. it's just going to take more effort if we do it ourselves :)16:36
nixternaland now look, Edubuntu has a huge rollout heading their way16:37
nosrednaekimdoesn't edubuntu use alot of kde apps?16:37
Jucatounfortunately (and I don't see why/how), Canonical doesn't seem to see it that way...16:37
nixternalnosrednaekim: if you use the edubuntu-desktop-kde16:37
Jucatoor maybe because our Kubuntu rollouts bypassed Canonical? (sort of?)16:37
nixternalbut there are a few kde apps in edubuntu ootb iirc16:38
Jucatoiirc the original edubuntu (back then) had lots of kde edu apps16:38
Jucatoprobably because KDE had more edu apps than anyone else16:38

dasKreechnixternal: no I'm saying do we have a plan for how the build system will work?17:04
nixternalthe same way it works now and has always worked I would be guessing17:04
yuriydasKreech: pong17:05
nixternalright now, we don't even have a solid plan for hardy, so worrying or even thinking about +1 is a waste right now17:05

yuriyfor each session they are in order17:13
nixternalya, that is a pita17:13
nosrednaekimoh... yeah...17:13
nixternaleach session creates its own history, but there is a hack for that17:13

jjesse03ah thanks19:29
jjesse03hello Lure19:35
mhbthis whole KDE vs. GNOME fight encourages my idea that the whole environment idea is silly.19:41
mhbthe *true* distro should ship the best apps, no matter what the toolkit.19:42
fdovingfreedos is pretty nice. little duplicity.19:43
dasKreechmhb: not on one Cd they shouldn't19:43
mhbdasKreech: why not?19:47
mhbif app A is better than app B, an ideal distro would include app A.19:47
mhbfor me.19:47
dasKreechyou'd fill it up with libraries before you finish puttin on apps19:47
CheGuevaraso true19:53
CheGuevaraand imagine your browser and your word processing program use a completely different file selection dialog19:53
CheGuevaraso much for consistency19:54
mhbimagine all environments actually settling on a mechanism so that file selection dialogs can be consistent19:54
mhb:o)19:55
dasKreechand imagine the years that it would take to stop having that argument19:55
mhbI'm sure it will exist by 201019:55
mhbafter all, we can (almost) share icons nowadays!19:55
mhb:o)19:55
dasKreechYou should be able to preview images in the File dialog!19:55
dasKreechWe agree!19:55
dasKreechand Videos!19:55
dasKreechAre you on crack?19:55
dasKreech18 months to resolve19:56
mhbI wish.19:56
yuriyi'd prefer going the other way, treat the environment as part of the OS and make the best use of the available libraries instead of obsessing over supporting other environments19:56
mhbbut this way it's more sport. We set the rules and "may the best app win"19:57
mhbthe other way means we all should hop on to GNOME, because it's more popular19:57
CheGuevaraby 2010 gnome will be gone if nothign major changes19:59
CheGuevaraqt is advancing sooo quick19:59
CheGuevaraand gtk is barely moving19:59
CheGuevaraok may be not gone, thats a bit too far19:59
CheGuevarabut its use will decrease a lot20:00
mhbby 2010 KDE may be gone, too20:01
stdinLIES!!20:01
mhbafter all, no distro is pushing it too aggresively20:01
mhband Qt has always been customer oriented, that's why we have to subclass it all.20:01
CheGuevaraits hard to switch thats the problem20:02
CheGuevaraimagine the next release of ubuntu coming with kde standard20:03
CheGuevarapeople are gonna go like "WTF?!"20:03
mhbsure, so it's never going to happen?20:03
CheGuevaranot because its better or worse, its so different20:03
CheGuevaraone thing can happen20:03
CheGuevarapopularity of existand and new KDE distros increase20:03
mhbbut I can imagine Canonical demoting KDE into universe and cancelling the last resources poured into Kubuntu.20:03
CheGuevarapopularity of gnome one lowers20:03
mhbI can imagine that quite easily.20:04
CheGuevarayeah but Kubuntu is not the most popular kde distro anyway20:04
CheGuevaraand to be fair20:04
CheGuevarathey only sponsor one dev20:04
CheGuevaralook at the success of PclinuxOS20:04
mhbsuccess?20:05
mhbI've seen a few ex-Ubuntu folks using it, but nothing more.20:05
mhbI don't see masses of Windows users migrating to it20:05
CheGuevarai've seen it beating ubuntu on distrowatch20:05
CheGuevaraam not talking about windows vs linux really20:06
CheGuevarabut gnome vs kde20:06
CheGuevarawindows vs linux unfortunately doesn't depend entirely on DE20:06

mhbor k3b, that's a better example20:29
mhbI guess.20:29
mhbthere's not a single criteria I can think of that makes anything GNOMish better than k3b.20:30

nixternalk3b has to many options? whoa, that is a first...k3b has just enough options, and all are explained well enough to the point you really don't have to research much20:31

nixternalya, amarok is pretty pimp and easy to use...there is some missing functionality though that could make it much better20:36
nixternallike autorecognition of portable media players and daapd servers20:36
yuriyit does autorecognize portamble media players doesn't it? or at least it autorecognizes usb sticks, which is kind of annoying20:39
nixternaloh ya it does, but you still have to config it don't you?20:41
nixternalit should be transparent, just like plugging in your iPod or what not in windows or osx20:42
* nixternal needs some food20:42
mhbyeah...20:43
mhbtoo bad we have to spend time developing one media player for KDE, one for GNOME ...20:43
mhbI mean sure, it's great that there are several versions20:43
mhbbut we need two people for including one feature in both20:44
mhbthat means suddenly, there's a guy wanting to implement exactly that what nixternal described, but alas, he's an Ubuntist.20:44
dasKreechso just use xlibs20:51
mhbyeah, just use <insert some old-fashioned technology that nobody uses but it actually fulfills your needs here>20:52
