DaSkreechJump into KDE4 with nothing that needs KDE3 libs00:40
JucatoI vote "no"00:40
DaSkreechwell as much as can be avoided00:40
DaSkreechI'll use non KDE stuff where I can00:41
DaSkreechlike mplayere00:41
Jucatoyou're going to be  using *a lot* of non-KDE stuff then :)00:41
DaSkreechHow much?00:41
DaSkreechI'll do FF3 just cause I can't live without the extensions anyway00:42
Jucatoas much as the KDE 4.0 apps that don't work properly yet :)00:42
DaSkreechmplayer for audio stuff00:42

ubotuLaunchpad bug 132723 in kubuntu-default-settings "[gutsy] kdm use the default theme instead of the kubuntu one" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13272321:01
Riddellsmarter: there's probably a bug there, although I'm not clear what it is21:16
smarterRiddell: but why do we use /etc/default/kdm.d ?21:17
Riddellsmarter: it lets us customise the kdm settings without editing a config file (which causes unnecessary and confusing questions when upgrading)21:19
Riddellit also should allow users to make their own changes, if it doesn't that is indeed a bug21:20
smarterRiddell: the kcm module to change kdm background still use kdmrc21:21
smarterso if you change it here, /etc/init.d/kdm does weird things21:21
smarterand people reported that kdmtheme doesn't work at all21:21
Riddellit should just see that it's changed and not overwrite it21:21
davmor2Riddell: why is there so much stuff in lost and found?21:22
smarterRiddell: Yes but it test if the theme or the background is changed, and it assume that if you changed the background, you changed the theme21:22
smarterso if you change the background you get the default ugly kde3 theme21:22
smarterand it's very confusing for users21:23
Riddelldavmor2: xdg menu sillyness, it'll be fixable21:23
Riddellsmarter: that'll be a bug then :)21:23
davmor2You forgot the Honest guvnor ;)21:24
Riddelljpatrick: everything ok in #kubuntu-es?21:31

jpatrickoh, looks like something's wrong21:33
jpatrickerr, I'm putting +m for a while :\21:34

davmor2Riddell: is Kub using pulse now? if so is there any chance of toning it down a bit by default..... It near blew my bloody ears off ;)21:49
Riddelldavmor2: no, it's not21:50
davmor2oh it's just loud then :)21:50
davmor2Riddell:  most things seem to be working okay anyway install was okay and it seems a bit faster than gutsy too21:52
jpatrickdavmor2: you using amarok?21:52
Longfieldhello here. I've been a Kubuntu user for a while and with KDE4 coming, I would like to help the distro I use. I'm a Computer Engineer, and I have experience in both C++ and pyhton, and QT too (not with python bindings yet) ... where would be my help appreciated ?21:53
davmor2jpatrick: no, I have but it was the system login sound that woke me up21:54
jpatrickdavmor2: ha right21:54
jpatrickLongfield: of course!21:54
jpatrickLongfield: we need help porting the apps to KDE4 right now21:57
Longfieldjpatrick: ok, good, maybe you could point me to something specific where I could start off ?21:57
jpatrickLongfield: I'm not sure, maybe mhb can help you21:58
bobofetthttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/HelpingKubuntu21:59
bobofettRead that page if you have not.21:59
bobofettRegister for Launchpad if you have not.21:59
bobofettAnd lots of decent links there on that page I just gave you to get you started....I'm just starting with trying to help myself, but I wouldn't call myself a developer by any stretch of the imagination...Just testing and whatever I can do along the way.22:00
nosrednaekimLongfield: AFAIK, the major thing is porting kde3 systemsettings modules to KDE422:00
Longfieldbobofett: thanks for the pointer ...22:01
bobofetthey I that's all I know too...lol The one thing I could pretend to help with...haha22:01
mhbhubba wa?22:05
nosrednaekimmhb: we have a new slave for you.... introducing Longfield22:05
mhbhello Longfield22:06
Longfieldhey mhb22:06
mhbLongfield: your help would be appreciated anywhere22:08
mhbLongfield: we are currently very much lacking on good system configuration tools ... that means the GUIs are often too complex and there is bit rot all over them22:09
mhb(those are usually written in Python, they're called Guidance configuration tools)22:10
Longfieldlike guidance-power-manager for instance ?22:10
mhbLongfield: yes and no. g-p-m was a part of the Guidance set, but KDE4 is going to have a new power manager that should be Good Enough for us to use22:11
mhbsebas: ^^ how's the KDE4 power manager, by the way?22:11
mhbLongfield: so guidance-power-manager is doomed to die of old age.22:11
LongfieldOK, but I seen what you mean in general22:12
mhbLongfield: but they are tools like "mountconfig", "displayconfig" and "userconfig" that really need care22:12
mhbfirst of all, they're not ported to Qt4 yet22:12
nosrednaekimmhb: its terrible feature wise... pretty much only battery life(unless you aren't talking about the default plasmoid)22:12
mhbnosrednaekim: I'm talking about the g-p-m replacement sebas promised :o)22:13
nosrednaekimoh.. ok22:13
Longfieldso one first step could be to port them to port one of them to at least qt4 ?22:14
sebasmhb: No progress, other than the plasmoid22:14
mhbLongfield: right22:14
mhbLongfield: that's one of the tasks Kubuntu really needs,22:15
Longfieldgood. Could you just tell me quickly where I can find some information about this Guidance set, and their codebase ?22:16
mhbLongfield: the good thing is that Kubuntu is the only KDE distribution that tries hard to integrate its configuration tools into KDE upstream = so all projects can easily benefit from them22:16
mhbLongfield: sure22:16
mhbLongfield: the easiest way is "apt-get source kde-guidance22:16
mhb"22:16
sebasLongfield: svn+ssh://svn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/extragear/kde3/utils/guidance22:18
davmor2Riddell: mystery new device window appears on 32 bit too :)22:19
LongfieldThere are 6 guidance tools (display, mount, power, service, user and wine) and power is aimed to disappear because it should be included in KDE4, correct ?22:24
mhbright22:24
davmor2allee: you about still?22:31
davmor2Riddell: 64bit Alt dies trying to install language files Red Screen Of Death :)22:34
Riddelluh oh22:34
davmor2do you want me to try without installing language packs?22:35
davmor2got a feeling it is going to be a key issue22:36
Riddelldavmor2: are there any handy log files to say what the problem is?22:37
Riddellit could just be a bad CD burn, maybe try a new CD?22:37
davmor2Riddell: it was running fine to the point where it asks if you want to download language packs22:39
davmor2I'll try it again and see :)22:40
Riddelldavmor2: what language are you installing in?22:40
Riddellit shouldn't need to download anything if you're using English22:40
davmor2english22:40
Riddellspooky22:40
davmor2just running check cd22:41
mhbRiddell: are python-kde4 libraries in the Gutsy KDE4 repositories?22:47
mhbor anyone22:47
nosrednaekimmhb: yes22:47
Riddellmhb: I think stdin put them in the ppa22:47
davmor2Riddell: Disc checks out on both md5sum and running check disk22:48
Riddelldavmor2: a problem in d-i should affect all variants22:48
Riddelldavmor2: noticed any ubuntu desktop testers complaining?22:49
davmor2don't think they have been tested yet.  I've not been here all day although I will be tomorrow :)22:50
RiddellI didn't see any reports on isotesting22:50
davmor2Riddell: there's no alt tests done yet22:51
davmor2Riddell: died again this time selecting no don't download any laguages22:55
Riddellso it might be a problem in whatever follows the languages bit22:56
Riddelldavmor2: might be worth testing an ubuntu desktop CD, see if it has the same issue22:56
RiddellI'm afraid my machine is tied up just now22:57
davmor2Riddell: bunch of error on Ctrl+Alt+F4.  Can't find package language-pack-en then further down it says can't find task minimal and can't find task standard22:58
Riddelluh oh23:00
davmor2Riddell:  I got to go unfortunately.  I can try them all tomorrow but that's another day away.23:01
davmor2posted to testing to try and get someone else to try23:01
Riddelldavmor2: ok, thanks for your help23:01
davmor2np I'll be back tomorrow morning23:02
LongfieldI cannot install python-kde4 under gutsy, it wants want install kdebase-runtime-bin but cannot, any clue what it is ?23:02
nosrednaekimLongfield: why can't it?23:03
stdinLongfield: I think it'll need rebuilding against the new kde4libs et all23:03
=== nivek_ is now known as nivek
Longfieldstdin: yeah, it could be a version problem (not good version that is packaged ..)23:04

stdinaround when 4.0.0 is out23:06
mhbstdin: thank you23:06
stdinwhen 4.0.0 comes out it'll be easier to maintain a package like that, less of a moving target23:07
Longfieldthank you stdin ... I can easily understand that's it's complicated to keep all these different package versions in sync !23:08
