nosrednaekimheh... this is fun, copying and pasting code from a GTK app to add features :)02:32
nixternalheh02:45
nixternalglad you think it is fun..I thought the gtk version was the ugliest code I have ever looked at02:45
nixternalbig time lack of documentation02:45
Jucatome_loves_gtk_syntax_like_this();02:46
nixternalhahahha02:46
Jucatogood_morning_with_text(GOBJECT(nixternal), "Hello!!");02:47
nixternalyou know, one of my buddies does dev work with Gtk, and he told me that Qt/KDE tags are weird02:47
nixternalthat is because we document our code, they document their code in their tags02:47
Jucatoand I'm presuming he's using C anyway :)02:47
nixternalthis_is_the_string_analyzer_code_to_generate_128_bit_string_combinations_to_name_your_child();02:48
JucatoI was just browsing through a GTK programming chapter in an old (2002 or 2004?) Linux book and my head ached by the time I got past hello world :)02:48
* Jucato is still interested in GTK+ as a phenomenon... but really can't stand their C syntax... gtkmm maybe...02:49
nixternalahh, Visual Studio 200802:54
Jucatooh btw nixternal, I won't be able to make it to the meeting later. hope jpatrick makes minutes again :(02:54
nixternalI just gave Microsoft Expression Studio a try, and it is the new Frontpage it seems02:54
nixternalwhen is the meeting?02:54
nixternaloh, I definitely won't be there, that is 05:0002:54
Jucatoyikes02:55
Jucatomaybe next time02:55
* Jucato really feels out of the loop02:55
* Jucato is on stage 2 of writing a konvi feature...02:55
JucatoI think I'm one small reason why Konvi 1.1 isn't released yet :P02:55
nixternalhehe02:56
* ryanakca just finished watching "Shake Hands With The Devil"... darn good movie. But I'll keep my political commentary to myself :)02:57
nixternalhehe02:58
ryanakcaouch... early here too... 6:00... oh well, I'll just read the logs as usual :)02:59
nixternalhehe02:59
nosrednaekimnixternal: uhhh oh, now its not fun....I have to modify the newprinter UI....03:17
nosrednaekimat least, I think I do.03:18
nixternalUI work is the most fun03:18
nosrednaekimnot when you have to try to make it identical to the GTK one so that all the copy and paste code works...03:20
nosrednaekimhrm... I'll work this tomorrow... getting a bit to late to work :)03:22
nixternalnever to late to code03:22
nosrednaekimI don't take caffeine ;)03:23
* nosrednaekim falls over into bed and goes to sleep03:38
coreymon77i use caffeine on my computer04:15
coreymon77its a useful little mac app04:16
n8k99i use kaffeine on my computer04:18
n8k99its a useful little kde app04:18
JucatoI use {c,k}affeine in my body04:25
Jucatoit's a useful little substance04:26
coreymon77lol04:29
coreymon77kaffeine is a media player04:29
coreymon77caffeine is a little app that prevents your laptop screen from dimming or going to sleep, great when watching youtube videos etc04:29
coreymon77caffeine is also a little substance that prevents you from going to sleep, great when watchin youtube videos etc04:30

mornfall+s08:50
mornfallI've just done conffile handling, which is one of the major stumbling blocks with Adept 2.x.08:50

mornfallPoke. Anyone with knowledge of software-properties thingy, does it do apt-get update when things change?14:15
smartermornfall: adept_batch update iirc14:19
mornfallD'oh.14:19
mornfallI should probably implement update in adept then.14:21
nosrednaekimmornfall: hows the qt4 port going?14:22

nosrednaekimoh, rewrite? thats good!14:25
mornfallI am just permanently short on time...14:30
nosrednaekimah... can't test it, it needs a newer version fo QT...14:35

n8k99silly question ti8me15:29
n8k99s/time/ti8me15:29
n8k99nvrfmnd15:30
n8k99ok if i build kde4 from anonsvn should i remove the packages which are install from the launchpad ppa?15:44
ryanakcan8k99: most likely, but #kubuntu-kde4 would be a better place to ask15:46
n8k99thanks15:46
Jucatobasically depends on how you've setup the KDE 4 environment and where you're installing KDE 4 to15:47
* n8k99 used aptitude install 15:48
Jucatoum.. you said build from svn, so I presumed compiled15:48
n8k99not yet15:48
n8k99am getting ready to do that15:49
Jucatoyou can build KDE 4 from svn and leave distro-specific packages intact if you follow the techbase guide15:50
n8k99checking it out right now15:50
katcitahi15:51
katcitaI asked in #kubuntu but nobody could answer so I'm trying here, everytime I restart my computer or my network, my extra dns are removed from resolv.conf and I  have to add them manually, anyway I can get them to survive a restart?15:52
n8k99Jucato: so if i follow the techbase instructions verbatum, i do not need to remove the ppa packages15:54
n8k99and i'll be able to play with the bleeding edge15:55
n8k99??15:55
Jucaton8k99: yep. coz you'll be basically 1. using a different user for KDE 4 and 2. installing in that user's home15:55
Jucatofatally bleeding :)15:55
n8k99haha15:56
* n8k99 needs/wants development packages in order to, um, develop15:56
Jucatofor your GSoc? :D15:56
n8k99for my hope of GSoC15:57
Jucato:D15:57
* n8k99 quit counting chickens in the embroyo stage a long time ago15:58
Jucatomornfall: software-properties itself doesn't run apt-get update (or any apt command iirc) when it changes the sources.list. it relies on the app that calls it to do that15:58
Jucatomornfall: that was one of the problems with adept_installer, which doesn't have an update() member function (which I tried to implement, but sort of gave up along the way :P)15:59
glatzorJucato: no, s-p detects if it runs as child window or not.16:01
glatzorJucato: if not it calls synaptic or adept16:02
Jucatoglatzor: hm.. ok... I was probably only looking at it from the point of view of being called from Adept Manager or Adept Installer16:02
smarterkatcita: sudo chmod -w /etc/resolv.conf16:03
JucatoI forgot the details (like I said, I dropped it a whle back), but in Adept Manager, if the process calling s-p ended (with a certain return status), Adept Manager would run it's update() function (apt-get update).16:03
Jucatobut Adept Installer (which previously didn't have a way to call s-p) doesn't have an update(), so apt-get update is never run (even if you're asked if you want to Reload and you chose that action)16:04
smarterI also tried to include an update() function in adept_installer one day16:05
JucatoI was *almost* successful in that I was able to call apt-get update and display the "Fetching Updates" view...16:06
smarterI only achieved to add dcop calls to adept_manager :}16:06
Jucatobut I got stuck into returning to the first/default view of application lists :(16:06
Jucatothen saw mornfall's revived work and porting of Adept, so I basically called it quits :)16:07

tlaytonnixternal: are you using the kdesvn-build script?18:54
nixternalno, I use the cmakekde and a simple little bash script that runs through the modules in order18:54

blueyedHow is running a program from alt-f2 different then starting it from a konsole? (in kde 4.0.2) Running e.g. "firefox" from alt-f2 gives a nice theme, from konsole or with the .desktop menu link from K-menu does result in a more ugly gtk theme.21:46
