LjLerr what's up with snuxoll01:36
LjLi mean, i think we've discussed Creationist before in #kubuntu, and decided we could just leave him alone01:36
LjLbut he's acting like an op in -ot01:37
jackHE was banned from #Mepis as well if memory serves01:37
LjLhe snuxoll?01:37
LjLnot to mention the kind of things he and goatz were saying before creationist joined01:37
LjLpretty ironic that he would jump on him methinks01:37
jackSorry.. creationist01:37
LjLwell fine, i do have him on highlight01:38

ikoniaguys, whats the status of the flash plugin issue - it's marked as "fix released" in launchpad and "closed"11:47
ikoniaI can't get hold of Brendon but thought I'd see if I'd missed a release update.11:47
jussi01!flashissues11:49
ubotuThe Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If that is the case for your mirror, please wait a couple of hours.11:49
ikoniawhat is the fix ?11:52
ikoniaI can't see info on it, the bug for gutsy is just marked as closed11:52
jussi01ikonia: Im not sure - I guess you could grab the package from -updatesand have a look...11:53
ikoniathe way I'm reading it the md5sum's have been updated....and thats it11:54
ikoniaI hope I'm reading that wrong11:54
Hobbseeikonia: why?11:58
ikoniaas that's was the dirty fix that for months has been refused to be done11:58
ikoniait would be a shame if people have waited months for a fix that was refused, to then be done11:58
Hobbseethere's also a patch in kde* that makes it not break.11:59

LjLwonderful, wonderful... my flash *worked*, before the update.16:34
jussi01LjL: seems a lot of people are complaining of that16:34
LjLwell, seeing as the update was so rushed out in fury, it's understandable that there might be some issues </sarcasm>16:35
jussi01LjL: dont worry, its got me _very_ annoyed. if you come across a fix, please let me know. 16:36
LjLjussi01: i don't know... when i dist-upgraded, it just seemed like it would try to use the flash that i had already in my cache, and which had the wrong md5, and so would leave it alone16:37
LjLbut apparently it didn't leave it alone16:37
mneptokLjL: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree16:50
mneptokshe work again. :)16:50
LjLmneptok: not quite16:51
LjLsudo rm /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz ; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-nonfree <- got it reinstalled16:51
LjLbut it doesn't seem to have any intention of working in konqueror16:51
LjLit doesn't prompt me to install it anymore - but a flash app just gives me a gray box16:51
mneptokis the k-nsplugins package installed?16:52
mneptokand you have to actually remove the package with apt-get16:52
mneptoknot rm files16:52
LjLmneptok: it's installed, and yes i tried removing (purging) too later16:52
naliothflash = satan16:53
mneptoknalioth: please, don't disparage Satan16:53
* nalioth makes a note not to disparage mneptoks mother-in-law16:53
jpatrickmneptok: install gnash! report all bugs17:09
LjLflash might be bad17:09
LjLbut reading the bug report (which i refused to read until now) is really getting me agitated17:10
Picimight?17:10
LjLPici: not as bad as statements as "The way I see it is: This is Ubuntu, not Kubuntu and as such Firefox is the default browser. Ubuntu should be concerned with Ubuntu. let Kubuntu deal with fixing Konqueror." for sure17:10
PiciLjL: I've heard quite a few statements like that in #ubuntu regarding the broken package.17:11
jpatrickgrr17:12
jpatrickLjL: which bug report?17:13
LjLjpatrick: bug #17389017:15
ubotuLaunchpad bug 173890 in flashplugin-nonfree "flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17389017:15
jpatricknot 'fixed released' yet? hmm17:16
LjLPici: as long as it's the casual user... but you see, people posting on launchpad ought to know that kubuntu is not some third-party derivative but a fucking part of main, and konqueror is the default browser on it17:16
LjLjpatrick: yes it's fixed released, it's just ubotu messing upo17:16
PiciLjL: I make no assumptions about LP's user populations.17:17
jpatrickLjL: Kubuntu rocks!17:18
LjLso what was the other free player besides gnash?17:20
LjL(also perhaps konqueror should ship with a Konqueror useragent, so perhaps people wouldn't say things such as "17:22
LjLI have reasonably-high volume sites to which I have stats access. Last I saw, The Hurd had more hits than Konqueror.")17:22
PiciWhat useragent does it have by default?17:22
LjLPici: safari IIRC17:22
LjLPici: well, actually, no it doesn't. i recall it doing it though, perhaps it's already been changed in gutsy or something.17:23
LjLMozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.8 (like Gecko)17:24
naliothLjL: there are no other free players (in an OSS sense of 'free')17:33
LjLnalioth: hm i distinctly recall one though... perhaps in early alpha17:34
naliothLjL: if there are, they've not appeared on the radar yet . . .17:35
LjL!find swfdec17:37
ubotuFound: libswfdec0.3, libswfdec0.3-dev, libswfdec0.4, libswfdec0.4-dbg, libswfdec0.4-dev (and 4 others)17:37
Picihah, in #ubuntu: 12:36:57 <Riddell> ** if anyone is using gutsy and flashplugin-nonfree please ping me17:37
LjLnalioth: swf-player and swfdec-mozilla was what i had in mind17:38
naliothLjL: i don't think that works very well at all  :(17:38
LjLprobably not17:39
LjLnalioth: however it claims to play youtube (which gnash claims as well, but just failed to here)17:40
naliothi've compiled gnash and swf-whatever and only gnash halfway worked17:42
LjLwell ok it exists though17:42
LjL!no flashissues is <reply> The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »17:46
ubotuI'll remember that LjL17:46
naliothand then they can gamble on the fact that it has reached their mirror   :P17:56
