mvocould someone with pyqt knowledge have a look at #186157 please?10:53
Riddellmvo: hmm, I'll add to my todo10:55
mvothanks Riddell, maybe its enough to use something like utf8() from update-manager there11:01
Riddellmvo: new dist upgrade tool is working great here11:03
mvoRiddell: wonderful, thanks a lot for the testing11:03
Riddellmvo: the text area needs set to readOnly and I need to test conf file resolution11:03
mvoRiddell: I have a custom "keyPressEvent()" to support basic line editing there. so the debconf readline protocol will work on the terminal and shell calls for stuff like "read" should also work11:05
mvoRiddell: I think the reason for not setting it ReadOnly was that I need it writable to support backspace entering in ther "terminal"11:05
Riddellbackspace entering?11:06
mvoRiddell: yes, the text area supports basic termianl capabilities, and this includes that backspace will move the cursor and delte the last char. I tested that with the debconf readline interface11:07
mvoRiddell:  #186157 should be fixed now11:08
Riddellmvo: it seems to be using debconf for a conf file update (/etc/samba/smb.conf)11:11
Riddellis that expected?11:11
mvoRiddell: you can run "python DistUpradeViewKDE.py $packagename" and it will install or remove the package you give it. good for testing (be careful, it will remove a installed one). I usually test with stuff like "2vcard" or similar harmless packages11:11
mvoRiddell: that is more likely that this is ucf11:11
mvoRiddell: and not a real conffile prompt11:11
Riddellucf?11:11
mvoRiddell: its a configuration managment system11:12
mvoRiddell: apt-cache show ucf11:12
Riddellmvo: http://muse.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/conffile.png11:12
mvoits a fancy way to merge changes from upstream and users together11:13
mvoyes, that looks like ucf11:13
Riddellok11:13
Riddellso at least I know debconf works :)11:13
mvo:)11:14
Riddellmvo: plenty of space on today's kubuntu-kde4 CDs, looks like your apt changes work11:16

mornfallAfternoon.14:11
apacheloggerRiddell: I asked some guys to test this on gentoo as soon as they have time to14:12
apacheloggerthough I think there is just some incompability with latest kde 3, rather than an issue with one of our patches14:12
ScottK2Riddell: At this point I'm assuming that hackery to make guidance displaymanger work with missing xorg bits is reasonably OK as long as it actually works, right?14:14
Riddellmornfall: adept alpha 4 is the business14:16
RiddellScottK2: yep14:16
Riddellmornfall: got a crash though but can't recreate14:17
mornfallRiddell: Backtrace? Or did it abort()?14:25
Riddellmornfall: I forgot to look at the backtrace14:25
mornfallAnd anything in the terminal? (If you run from a terminal...)14:25
mornfallWell, if you run into it again, tell me.14:26
apacheloggerhm14:26
mornfall(There are some known unhandled exceptions and a bunch of abort() calls on errors in fetching update.)14:26
Riddellmornfall: if I search for half a word "umbr" it briefly shows matches "umbrello" but then they disappear14:27
mornfallYes, I am not sure about that. We could do partial matches, but they'll probably pollute the result set.14:27
RiddellI think they'd be useful14:27
smarterdo I need to fill a FF exception for Bespin since it is KDE4 stuff?14:28
mornfallIt does "search as you type", so the not-fully-typed word is expanded to all possibilities for the "partial" search. When you stop typing, it assumes you typed all words you intended in full.14:28
smarterif I want to package a new snapshot14:28
apacheloggersmarter: bespin is non-default KDE package therefore it prolly needs a FFe14:28
smarterok14:29
Riddellmornfall: I don't think its clear to the user what's happening14:30
mornfallWell, possibly. But... what do you propose? I am fairly sure that doing partial matches on all words will break other searches.14:32
Riddellideally probably full matches at the top, then a header "partial matches" and list those14:32
mornfallHmh.14:33
Riddellthat's probably some hassle though, I don't see just listing the partial matches as being a big problem14:33
mornfallIt could be doable.14:33
mornfallWell, it influences the scoring a lot.14:33
mornfallI can't come up with meaningful examples right now, but let me think a bit.14:34
mornfallWe'll have to try that.14:35
mornfall(People don't expect google to do that, btw.)14:35
Riddelltrue enough14:38

There, i generate an QAction with Text, Shortcut and Visibility and add it to the menu. However, everythings fine, but the fact that there is no text to see (though the value is assigned). do you've got a hint for me?19:14

mornfallYes?19:53
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: I have been playing around with libept19:53
mornfallYes?19:53
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: doing something like this:19:53
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: http://kde.pastey.net/8372119:54
mornfallYes?19:55
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: ui.treeWidget_list being a QTreeWidget with Package Name, Installed Version etc19:55
mornfall(Albeit that's probably not my part of the library, but Enrico's.)19:55
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: anyway. the thing is that the QString::number(size_t( PackageRecord( *i ).installedSize() ) ) produces nothing but zero19:56
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: how should the class PackageRecord be used19:56
mornfallIt works for Adept. I don't know about PackageRecord, I don't use that...19:57
mornfallAs I said, I mostly use stuff under core::.19:57
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: how is this implemented in Adept?19:57
mornfallUsing (ept::core::)record::Source.19:58
mornfallYou have record::Source r;19:58
mornfallthen do r.get< record::InstalledSize >( token );19:58
mornfall(The core:: API is based on the ept::Token class.)19:58
mornfallAnd you can get a list of tokens from various places. One would be package::Source.19:59
mornfallpackage::Source pkgs( db );19:59
mornfallCheck tools/ept-cat.cpp in libept source.20:00
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: where is ept::core header file located?20:00
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: ah20:00
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: :)20:00

Artemis_Fowlmornfall: ok. will investigate it soon. thx20:04
RiddellScottK: remember beta freeze is tomorrow20:06
ScottKRiddell: I do.  I'm almost certain working with no xorg at all won't get done before the freeze, but that bug is (appropriately I think) milestoned for Beta.20:07
ScottKI'm expecting I'll get it OK'ed.20:08
smarterScottK: after some googling it appears that the problem comes from pyqt 4.3.3 which doesn't like Qt 4.3.420:09
smarterso we just need to wait for pyqt 4.3.420:10
ScottK2smarter: Thanks.20:10
ScottK2smarter: Any chance of a work around since pyqt 4.3.4 isn't released yet?20:15
smarterI'm trying to debug the code right now20:15
ScottK2smarter: Great.  Thanks20:17
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: I foud out what was wrong. As I imagined wrong use of the class....20:17
mornfallWhat was it?20:17
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: wrong use of the class :) the class Package Record should not be used to retrieve info about a package20:18
mornfallCould be :-).20:18
mornfallI couldn't tell off the top of my head...20:18
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: Apt::rawRecord( std::string ) should be used to get the package20:19
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: and then search in it20:19
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: using Package Record20:19
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: thisis the correct use20:20
Artemis_Fowlthis is*20:20
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: therefore the Package Record class is used to search in a package. not get the package...20:21
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: there is no documentation for this. that's why I got so confused20:21
Artemis_Fowlmornfall: anyway. cya20:22
