coreymon77nixternal: wow, do you actually not have a life00:25
coreymon77nixternal: how do you make money?00:25
yuriyforgot to mention this at the meeting, but I started http://wiki.kubuntu.org/DebuggingKDE and it would be good if people could add package specific debugging information00:26
nareshovI added HttpProxy support to my twitter-plasmoid. I want to know why Konqueror-KDE4 doesn't support proxy and what plans are under consideration.00:26
nareshovWhere do I look for more information?00:26
Riddellnixternal: bzr branch http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kde-port/00:27
Riddellnareshov: #kde-devel or #plasma00:27
nareshovthanks00:27
nixternalcoreymon77: I don't make money, I go to school which gives me a lot of hack time00:28
coreymon77nixternal: ah, i see00:28
nixternalif you have some money, I wouldn't mind getting a bit of it00:29
Riddellnixternal: svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/system-config-printer/trunk/  for the gnome side where we steal all the code from00:29

coreymon77nixternal: im in school too00:29
yuriyhmm kde4 sound doesn't seem to work anymore00:29
Riddellnixternal: the clean printer heads button is hidden in the code at the moment, unhide it, add a signal to clicked and copy whatever the gnome side does00:29

nixternalseele: I believe Riddell does00:58
nosrednaekimwhat .desktop syntax says to only show the icon within kde?00:58
nixternalas a matter of fact, I know he does..he is the only one here with commit rights for it00:59
nosrednaekims/syntax/option00:59
nixternalthere is a page on Freedesktop.org I think that shows all of that...it is something along the lines of *-KDE-Only or something similar00:59
seelenixternal: ah ok thx01:00
seelebtw.. anyone have trouble with today's (yesterday's?) nightly build?01:00
nosrednaekimnixternal » ok01:00
seelekdm or x11 or something hangs01:00

jjesseevening02:11
jjessenice eclipse happening02:11
ScottKYep.  Clouds broke from the earlier snow storm just in time here.02:14
jjessedon't we have to make sacrifices in order to make the moon come back?02:15
ScottK2Hmmm02:15
ScottK2One of my kids is being particularly annoying tonight ...02:16
jjesseinteresting, hopefully that will work02:17
ScottK2Unfortunately she agreed to clean the kitchen, so I don't want to mess with that.02:18
jjessewin some lose some02:18
ScottK2Yeah.02:18
yuriyhmm, just put our loco team logo with the ubuntu logo on kde slides... makes the idea of a kubuntu loco sound interesting02:30
nixternalhehe02:31
nixternalya, you can't add the Ubuntu logo to blue slides, it is god awful02:31
nixternalI have been using the Oxygen LaTeX Beamer template for my talks02:31
nixternalf00d time02:32
yuriywell there is orange in the oxygen theme02:33
coreymon77so, who else saw the moon?03:39
nosrednaekimI think the point was to NOT see the moon?03:40
coreymon77no03:41
yuriyi did, so i was disappointed03:41
coreymon77you always see it03:41
coreymon77its jsut orange03:41
coreymon77and you can see saturn and a very big star (forget the name)03:41
yuriyi hadn't seen an eclipse before, so i was thinking as nosrednaekim03:41
nosrednaekimwell, I guess its not a total one03:41
nosrednaekimtotal ones the whole moon DOES disappear03:41
coreymon77no it doesnt03:42
coreymon77thats impossible03:42
nosrednaekimwhy?03:42
coreymon77its refracted light03:42
nosrednaekimth earth come directly between the moon and sun03:42
coreymon77suns bigger03:42
yuriywell this one supposedly is total03:42
nosrednaekimearth is close03:42
nosrednaekim*closer03:42
coreymon77still03:42
coreymon77refracted light03:42
yuriybut it's weird cause it's uneven03:43
coreymon77this is a total eclipse03:44
coreymon77even nasa says so03:44
nosrednaekimcoreymon77 » hum I guess you are right, cause the light would refract around the earth's atmosphere03:44
coreymon77exactly03:45
ScottK2that's exactly what it is.03:45
coreymon77but high frequency light is filtered out by the atmosphere03:45
coreymon77causing only the orange/red light to pass through03:45
coreymon77giving the moon that erie orange glow03:45
* nosrednaekim got a B in astronomy so he is going to listen03:46
coreymon77great view of saturn too03:46
ScottK2coreymon77: No.  High enerby light bends less and misses the moon.  Low energy light refracts more and hits the moon03:46
ScottK2Same reason you get a rainbow03:46
coreymon77ScottK2: whatever it is03:46
coreymon77ScottK2: im just happy that i saw both a lunar eclipse and saturn in one night03:47
ScottK2I'm saying it's the refraction is different based on wavelength, it's not filtering.03:47
ScottK2That's cool.03:47
coreymon77great rings03:47
coreymon77ScottK2: its right to the bottom left of the moon03:47
ScottK2Thanks.03:48
coreymon77the craziest part is that because of the lack of moonlight, all the stars that we dont normally see are appearing03:48
coreymon77ScottK2: the really bright, big looking star to the bottom left (not sure if its still there), thats saturn03:49
yuriyi guess i should go look for saturn? or too late?03:51
coreymon77you could try03:51
coreymon77but in order to see the rings youll need a telescope03:51
yuriyaw03:51
yuriyprobably saw it already, just don't know it03:52
coreymon77i found an old kids toy one sitting around in the basement from when my brother was little03:52
coreymon77surprised it still works03:52
yuriywell can't identify saturn, but the moon looks a lot cooler now03:54

* Riddell signs up11:21
Nightrosecool :)11:22
Riddelldavmor2: seems there's no quick way of fixing the CD missing half its packages, so we might miss this alpha11:22
davmor2tis an issue then and not just me going mad ;)11:23
davmor2Riddell: are the live cd's okay to test?11:24
Riddelldavmor2: the live CDs are the problem11:24
davmor2ah what about the alt's then they seem to have a default blue background too did you not get my message last night?11:25
davmor2Riddell: ^11:26
Riddelldavmor2: hrm, guess they're the problem too then :)11:28
davmor2Riddell: looks like a default kde install rather than Kubuntu.  No applets in the bar four desktops etc11:30
Riddellyeah, it's missing kubuntu-default-settigs11:30
Riddelland other packages, due to seed reorganisation11:30
Riddellso I think we'll have to miss this alpha11:31
Riddellwhich just shows why it's important to have this testing process, else we'd never have noticed :)11:31
davmor2Riddell: mail me when there is a safe cd to test once the packages are all there and I'll use that as an alpha5 cd.11:32
Riddellother variants should be fine11:33

_StefanS1.11:46
toscalixhi all11:59
toscalixthis is the first time I use konversation under gutsy11:59
toscalixsince the confiuration of this app is quiet difficult for a beginner11:59
toscalixbut it is really useful to have an IRC channel for help preconfigured12:00
RiddellI'm yet to find an irc client which is easy to configure12:01
toscalixI recommend that, if I choose one language in the installation, somehow the IRC channel preconfigured, if exist, is the one12:01
toscalixin the language selected12:01
toscalixfor example, I've chosen spanish in my installation, bt the preconfigured IRC channel is the english one12:02
toscalixand it do not connect to it automatically when I run the program12:02
toscalixI thinks this is a nice feature that it can be called Help channel or something like that12:03
toscalix9instead of konversation, that do not says much12:03
toscalixit is a suggestion only12:03
toscalixthe IRC channel in your own language is something that makes the difference for users12:05
toscalixand kubuntu already have people in 4 or 5 languages to begin this line12:05
Riddellhmm, interesting idea12:06
toscalixit adds a lot of noise in IRC channels but it is a way, for example of redirect beginners in early stages to the correct information about apps and features12:06
toscalixand they fell there is real support12:07
toscalixyou run the app and you can talk to people that helps you inmediately12:07
toscalixwe only have to take care they understand the channel is for help, not to chat with friends12:08
toscalixmaybe a terms of use panel when they connect can help with this12:09
toscaliximagine all the people you can connect in a few weeks with the community...12:10
toscalixmaybe too many12:10
Hobbseetoscalix: the channel topic is unhelpful?12:13
toscalixsorry, don't get it12:13
blizzzekno one read the topic actually..12:13
HobbseeThe channel topic is "Official Kubuntu support | FAQ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Kubuntu CDs! https://shipit.kubuntu.org | Pastes: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | Chat in #kubuntu-offtopic | KDE 4 support in #kubuntu-kde4 | Tutorials Day logs at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KTD | Please add ideas: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SoC | Ubuntu DeveloperWeek https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UDW | KDE 3.5.9 is out! http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-359.php".12:13
Hobbseeat the top of your screen, when you join #kubuntu12:13
toscalixyes12:13
Hobbseein the grey panel12:13
toscalixI'm saying we can push this idea further12:14
Hobbseeblizzzek: yeah, i know.  and then they say that they didn't know.12:14
Hobbseeblizzzek: short of smashing them in the face with a hammer...12:14
Jucato(or poking them with a long pointy stick of doom)12:15
blizzzek;)12:15
toscalixthis channel is great, I'm just saying that maybe we can configure the conection to Officel support channels12:15
toscalixOfficial12:15
Hobbsee...it is12:16
toscalixto be automatically or very easy and in not just english but other languages12:16
jpatrickHobbsee: i think he wants it to be autoconfigured to loco channels on install based on language settings12:16
toscalixnow it id difficult to get here12:16
toscalixfo a beginner12:16
toscalixspecially a non english speaker12:17
jpatricktoscalix: hmm, we usually !es, !de 'em or something :-/12:17
Riddellbut it would be nice to have a single click "live help" button that takes you straight to the support channel12:18
RiddellI'm not sure where that we be though12:18
davmor2Riddell: does Kubuntu not have a general irc like Ubuntu?12:19
toscalixyes, that automatically takes you to the channel in your language by asking you your user name that, by default, can be the name of the user defined during installation or we can ask the user the nick he/she wants12:19
Hobbseedavmor2: it does.  it's just not multilanguage12:19
jpatrickHobbsee: we have #kubuntu-es, #kubuntu-fr, #kubuntu-de etc12:20
jpatrickall details -> http://www.kubuntu.org/support.php12:20
Hobbseejpatrick: sure, but we don't send them there by default, and apparently people aren't finding that.12:21
Riddelltoscalix: where in the user interface would you put such a link?12:21
toscalixkonversation in gutsy is an app that it is not on kicker, it is hidden among the rest of apps in K panel, so people do not find it, so they do not find it, and they do and try it, the don't know how to use it12:21
toscalixsorry about my mistakes but I'm writing in a broken keyboard12:22
jpatrickRiddell: I'd have it in the Help menu where the launchpad stuff is :)12:22
toscalixwait a minute and i change it12:22
davmor2Is there not a list somewhere that could be used and then just select the appropriate channel from the list12:23
jpatrickbut Help -> "Get help Online" seems to point to a good page12:24
toscalixok, here we go, Riddell it depends of the relevance we want to give. I'd begin by placing it just where konqueror, kontact, amarok and kopete are12:24
toscalixbut if it works, in next versions Iwould place it besides the trash can12:25
toscalixin kicker12:25
toscalixGet help online sounds great to me12:26
jpatricktoscalix: it's there12:26
Hobbseetoscalix: the one that you didn't find?12:26
toscalixand when you press, it opens a dialog with the terms of use, you choose the nick, maybe the language, and it automatically opens the channel12:27
toscalixhumm12:27
toscalixnot in a default installation12:27
Hobbseeuh, yes in a default installation.12:28
Hobbseeit's listed there12:28
toscalixin K menu...yes12:28
* Hobbsee has checked the seeds before12:28
toscalixnoy in kicker, right?12:28
Hobbseeno, not in kicker12:28
Hobbseebut if you can't find it in every single app's help menu, are you going to find it on kicker either?12:28
jpatricktoscalix: right-click kicker -> help -> get help online12:28
Hobbseeor that :)12:29
toscalixjpatrick yes, I know, but I think it is a feature that should have more relevance12:29
toscalixand it has to be a "press and go " connection to the channel12:30
Hobbseetoscalix: isn't stuff like the wiki, etc, more useful, with pre-done answers to questions?12:30
toscalixyes if you know the question and want to find the answer12:32
toscalixbut no if you do not know the question, like beginners12:32
toscalixlike kids12:32
Jucatooh please spare the channel from kids :)12:33
toscalixfor example.....what do I use for ....12:33
jpatrickJucato: why hello12:33
Jucatoj/k of course :P12:33
Jucatohi jpatrick (I'm surprised that I'm alive myself)12:33
toscalixwher do I get this...12:33
toscalixthis is a suggestion based on my experience today getting to this channel from a plain installed kubuntu, just think about it and .... we'll see if it makes sense12:36
Hobbseetoscalix: presumably you'd like a first-user help guide, at the very first install?12:36
Jucatotoscalix: *this* channel isn't exactly for support questions, that's why it's not joined to by default12:36
jpatrickJucato: think of the new devs we'll get if we did12:37
Jucatojpatrick: you think so? :)12:37
jpatrickI suppose we could put a link in Ubitity to http://www.kubuntu.org/support.php near the end12:38
Jucatotoscalix: a plain installed kubuntu has a konversation that's configured to join to a support channel (#kubuntu). perhaps the better idea is, as you mentioned, configuring the installation to auto-join to the local kubuntu channel if a different locale was chosen during installation12:38
* Jucato has no idea how that can be done though.. probably some ubiquity magic? :)12:38
toscalixHobbsee of course, but people that uses computers specially windows users have never got such a help, it can be killer and a great experience to fell the community from the first minute12:38
HobbseeJucato: not easily - you'd need to do it thru debconf stuff, i expect.12:39
Jucatoew... :/12:39
toscalixjucato and place konversation on kicher with a Get Help Online name12:39
toscalixkicker12:40
* Jucato isn't in favor really of renaming...12:40
toscalixI'm not in favor either in most cases12:40
Jucatobecause it sort of gives image that konvi is only for online help... or that it's the only way to get online help (you can use kopete too...)12:41
* Jucato thinks something like opensuse's "help" page is a good system... but...12:41
HobbseeJucato: i thought we had one?12:41
toscalixpeople, specially younger people prefers chatting than reading12:42
JucatoHobbsee: did we?12:42
Hobbseesure, but it is volunteer based12:42
HobbseeJucato: i thought there was kubuntu-specific help in khelpcenter, which is what you get when going kmenu--> help12:42
Hobbseetoscalix: it would be a nice idea, particularly if we had infinite support people - but we don't - therefore giving the impression that #kubuntu is the only place for help is probably a bad idea12:43
JucatoHobbsee: oh not that... openSUSE has this desktop icon that launches a web page in Konqueror that lists ways to get help. all point-and-click stuff... like if you click on Online Help, you get a short description and a link that will launch Konvi12:43
HobbseeJucato: oh, hmm.  i thought we had something like that too, somewhere.12:44

yuriyis there a way we can get the XDG user dirs to show up with different icons, i.e. in dolphin? would that require a patch?19:01
Riddellyuriy: .directory files can do that (like we do in /home/.directory)19:03
Riddellyuriy: so you'd need to patch xdg-user-dirs to add them when creating the dirs19:03
ScottK2If the icons are present, they already work (I've got a Documents dir copied over from an old opensuse install and it shows fine)19:03
yuriyRiddell: is /home supposed to have a different icon then? the icon doesn't show up for me19:04
yuriyScottK2: if the icons are present?19:04
yuriy[Desktop Entry]19:05
yuriyIcon=folder_home19:05
Riddellyuriy: in kde 4 that icon doesn't exist19:06
yuriyRiddell: doesn't work in d3lphin either19:06

blueyedI think it would be a good idea to change the version numbering of kubuntu-default-settings from 1:8.04-11 to 1:8.04.12 (it's a native package after all). Objections? :)20:26
ScottK2blueyed: I don't think it's worth an upload just to chagne version numbering.20:27
blueyedScottK2: sure.. but I'm looking at fixing it during another upload.. :)20:28
blueyedSo you agree?20:28
ScottK2No.  I've no opinion.20:28
ScottK2Personally I wouldn't touch it unless Riddell says he wants it changed.20:28
DaSkreechCan I install old versions from adept?20:30
blueyedDaSkreech: if you have the .deb and it does not conflict with other packages, yes.20:30
mornfallblueyed: That would be for the case s/from/of/? I don't think adept can install debs directly.20:31
mornfallAnyhow, hi all from Brussels.20:31
DaSkreechblueyed: Huh?20:31
blueyedDaSkreech: oh sry.. yes, I've read s/from/of/20:32
Riddellblueyed: fine with me.  that was one of my first packages.  using a Makefile is strange too, would be cleaner to use .install files20:32

mornfallObviously. ;)20:32
DaSkreechmornfall: Hallo :)20:32
DaSkreechHow is FOSDEM?20:33

mornfallDaSkreech: FOSDEM starts on Saturday.20:34
mornfallRiddell: That too, maybe.20:34
DaSkreechmornfall: Would installing old versions of a app be out of adept's scope ?20:35
mornfallNo, not really. Just noone implemented that so far.20:35
Riddellwhere would it get the old versions from?20:36
DaSkreechok :)20:36
DaSkreechRiddell: same place apt gets them20:36
fdovingRiddell: for the new network-manager, where do you get the wpasupplicant with the proper version?20:53
