nixternalNote to self:  "You cannot clean print heads on a LASERJET printer" :)00:29

Czessihi nixternal, i've printed some kubuntu posters. the documents are only available in the german A0 (841mm x 1189mm) format. are you interested for an pdf in an us format?05:07
nixternalsure05:25
CzessiI think ANSI E is the right format?05:32
nixternaloh man, I really don't know05:36
nixternaldo you have the source of the posters?05:36
Czessithe source is the svg from the kubuntu marketing wiki page05:38

* Hobbsee wonders when kde4 will become usable.05:39
nixternalwell I will just grab that then, unless you have it all funkdafied and what not :)05:39
nixternalKDE 4 has been usable for me now for a couple of months05:39
nixternalI will say it isn't the greatest on an amd64 system05:39
nareshovhmm05:39
nixternalit is always locking up and crashing, but I can't blame that on KDE 4 just yet05:39
nixternalI installed from the new kde 4 cd05:39
nareshovI had hardy kde4, didn't lock up or crash05:40
Czessihttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuMarketing/Material05:40
nareshov(amd64)05:40
nareshovexcept that it's just unusable without proxy support05:40
Hobbseenixternal: does the gtk qt engine work yet?05:40
nixternalnot that I have seen thus far05:40
nixternalso Gtk apps look a little ugly, so does gnome, but that is still usable :p05:40
nareshovyou can always enable "apply kde4 colours to non-kde apps" in system settings :P05:41
Hobbseethat's not enough :)05:42
nareshovya :p05:42
nixternalonly gtk app I use is Gimp, so it doesn't bother me05:42
nareshovyou don't use firefox?!05:42
nixternalI hate firefox05:42

nixternalit is a bloated turd just like internet explorer05:43

nixternalit is Gwenview, in main07:09
nixternalhrmm07:10
nixternalthere are the 2 patches I want, and then the only changes made int he Debian package is bump to 3.7.3 and and compat to 6, which may be an issue07:10

nixternalHobbsee: I think I will just go ahread and create a debdiff for Riddell with those 2 patches from Debian...we don't need compat 6 in case we want to backport it to >= Dapper07:16
neversfeldeI think I should change the password now^^07:16
nixternalhehe07:16
nixternalnow that you told us what it was for07:16

hungerWhy can't I download the kde4.0.1 stuff from the archive?08:44
hungerAh, now the debs finally showed up:-)08:56
hungerKDE4 will not start up: Splash screen appears, last icon flashes there. It vanishes after a while and nothing more happens. Any idea how to debug this?09:28
nareshovhunger: it takes you back to the login screen?09:29
hungernareshov: nope.09:29
nareshovtry sudo mv /etc/kde4rc /etc/kde4rc_do_not_use09:29
hungernareshov: I just sit there with an empty screen that will only respond to ALT-CTRL-Backspace.09:29
hungernareshov: That helped! Thanks!09:32
nareshovnp09:33
hungerAny idea what was in the file? I rm-ed it;-)09:34
nareshovheh09:35
nareshovit was supposed to go anyway09:35
hungernareshov: Well, if I cared I could just check it out again;-)09:35
hungerremoving that file improves my kde 4.1 build, unfortunately it does not fix it.09:36
nareshovhunger: any idea if anyone is working on the proxy-support bug at all?09:38
hungernareshov: Which proxy support bug?09:38

* hunger sighs. Soprano is borked in SVN since yesterday evening already.09:43
* hunger grumbles. KDE 3 is no fun anymore... konqui got so damn crashy since the last update:-(09:57
_StefanS_hunger: desktop icons in kde4 isn't exactly amazing either.. I cant figure out why they're made like applets10:02
nareshovadd the taskbar to that10:02
jussi01hmmm, is it possible to not have the temp files ending in ~ left in the folder after use? ie. the ones created when you edit a picture or document?10:02
_StefanS_nareshov: agreed.10:02
nareshov+ KDE3 is like < 500MB ram on my laptop, KDE4 is about 800MB, plasma is heavy :\10:02
hungerThe taskbar sucks, I agree.10:02
hungerI do understand the icons as applets approach from an engineering point of view. I don't have icons on the desktop, so I do not care from a user POV;-)10:04
_StefanS_hunger: well, kde4 is not finished yet, so it will be improved along the way..10:05
_StefanS_I hope.10:05
* nareshov too sincerely hopes 10:05
hunger_StefanS_: Well, it will pick up Decibel and other stuff, so it will improve;-)10:06
hunger_StefanS_: Let's just hope that the stuff that is annoying right now will improve as well.10:06
_StefanS_hunger: yep I think it will. I just hope they will optimize the UI for general usage along the way, and not wait ~3-4years. I think it so unusable in its current state (and thats without window animations, fades and that).10:07
hungerI hope that butt-ugly menu thingy will vanish as well... I always hated suse's menu in KDE3, now I have to see it on every distribution in KDE4.10:07
nareshovwe need a Finder kind of thing10:08
hungerAnd it even got more ugly in the conversion (cramped icons and everything).10:08
_StefanS_hunger: yep that menu is definitely not good.. but then again I dont have anything else that the regular "start"-menu approach to suggest either.10:09
hungerTHe good ol' K-menu was good enough for years. I want it back;-)10:09
nareshovthe old style menu is there in kde410:10
_StefanS_hunger: cant you change that btw?10:10
hungerI hardly ever need a menu anyway.10:10
nareshovyou can10:10
_StefanS_oka, I might want to try that sometime10:10
_StefanS_ScottK2, ScottK: did you succeed with the patch?10:11
_StefanS_hunger: what gfx card are you using?10:13
_StefanS_hunger: I have a Nvidia Quadro 570M, but I cant get it to perform decently in 2d..10:14
hunger_StefanS_: A ATI card... it basically is a very expensive framebuffer in linux.10:17
_StefanS_hunger: yep i recently got rid of ATI in my house. But this quadro thingy is just amazingly slow... i can see the webpages, windows repaint from top and down.10:18
_StefanS_pretty b0rked.10:18
hunger_StefanS_: I have a laptop, so replacing the graphics card is not that easy.10:18
_StefanS_hunger: I replaced my laptops.10:20
_StefanS_hunger: using new thinkpads now10:20
_StefanS_ah I think i found something... dynamic clocks is ruining performance in 2d..10:21
nareshov_StefanS_: you mean dynamic cpu frequency policy?10:24
_StefanS_nareshov: nope the gpu frequency policy10:25
hungernareshov: That or dynamic clocks on the GPU.10:25
_StefanS_nareshov: the cpu has not effect, I tried it.10:25
_StefanS_not/no10:25

hungerI really hate those errors visible when usplash is disabled.11:39
Seregahiya!11:45
* hunger wonders which account is needed to access brainstorm...11:47
Nightrosehunger: QA account11:48
Nightroselike the one for iso testing11:48
Nightrosethat is the one i used11:48
hungerThat is a different one from launchpad, the wiki, mailman and whatnot?11:48
Nightrosejep11:48
Nightrosewhen you register a new account there it lists all the services you can use it at11:48
Nightrosejust above the registration form11:49
hungerThe ubuntu website is so sucky! Launchpad is so annoying and confusing, you need different accounts all over the place, the ubuntu.com site has hardly any info at all.11:49
Nightrosethere was a wish @ brainstorm for access with open id for everything ;-)11:50
NightroseI think you want to give that a +11:50
hungerThere are lots of cool sites, but you need to find out about them one by one.11:50
Nightrose:P11:50
hungerNightrose: Nope, can't be bothered to create yet another account for yet another system where I'll get ignored;-)11:50
Nightrosewell I gave all the kubuntu stuff a +11:51
Nightrosewe need more kubuntu there after all11:51
Nightroseat least there is a slight chance it helps11:51
hungerIf something bothers me enough I'll just write some bugreport in launchpad. At least I have an account for that;-)11:52
Nightrosewell once you got an account there you can use it for iso testing as well...11:53
Nightroseso it is not entirely useless11:53
hungerIso testing is useless to me. I aptitude upgrade;-)11:53
Nightroseuseless to you... - not useless to kubuntu ;-)11:54
hungerNightrose: Sorry, I just do not care enough anymore to bother. I got work to do and there is lots of more interesting stuff out there to do in my spare time.11:55
Nightroseyea sure11:55
hungerI do write bugreports (when something annoys me enough), I even try to fix stuff and append patches to those reports, but that is all I am willing to contribute back.11:56
Nightrosewhich is more than a lot of other people do11:56
hungerAnd I do read the bugreports on the stuff I wrote, so that I may help those guys that package it. But that is not "helping ubuntu" but doing the more interesting stuff;-)11:58

NthDegreejust one big clump of a patch20:34
NthDegreejpatrick: what i'm meaning to look for are things like the individual patch file ubuntu uses for dazuko or for apparmor for example20:39
jpatrickNthDegree: you'll have to fetch the source package then20:40
NthDegreei've got the package known as linux-source but that has kernel sources which are already patched right?20:40
NthDegreeand the sources to kernel-sources are a bunch of linux-meta bits which are just confusing the hell outta me :(20:41

mhb* more automation in testing21:39
