awen-ScottK: mine reports charging=false and discharging=false when it is fully charged ... but I wouldn't be surprised if other laptops reported it as true+true00:01
ScottKHmmm00:02
* ScottK looks00:02
ScottK2fdoving: I can reproduce it when resizing the window.00:04
ScottK2I guess if it actually fixes something I'll upload it.00:04
awen-ScottK2: we can't even use the battery logic for detecting it, as it uses the ac_adapter.present value as part of it's logic ...  (and with the possibility of having multiple batteries it will in any case be a complete mess)00:10
ScottKawen-: Nevermind.  I've got two laptops.  One says true/true and the other says true/false so I know it won't work.00:10
awen-ScottK: okay... we really don't stand a chance then00:11
ScottKIt was an idea, just not a workable one as it happens.00:11
ScottKOh well.00:11
* ScottK goes to make dinner.00:12
awen-ScottK: would've been nice with some HAL consistency anyway00:12

nixternalheh, Gweled ey? :)00:42
Jucatonice name actually :)00:42
Jucato(and they say KDE's obsessed with K's)00:43
Jucatobtw hi nixternal!! how was your talk?00:43
nixternalright00:43
nixternaltalk went good, a lot of interested people showed up00:43
nixternalthe big question for Foresight was...how about KDE? :)00:43
* nixternal kicks jtate in the shin :)00:43
Jucatohah! I thought that was decided long ago?00:44
Jucato(...never to walk in anyone's shadow!)00:44
nixternalit is, it has just been a bit more quiet than their Gnome push00:44
Jucatosorry.. song butt in :)00:44
nixternalhehe00:44
Jucatonot surprised, considering how Foresight is sort of pushing itself to be a "premiere" GNOME distro (like Ubuntu)00:45
daSkreechWell00:46
JucatoKlairvoyance, a KDE distro based on Foresight Linux :P00:46
daSkreechstandard Gnome Distro00:46
daSkreechnot sure if that's the same as premiere00:46
nixternalJucato: their plan is to do the same with KDE as well as Xfce00:47
daSkreechJucato: that would rock! :)00:47
Jucatonot sure if "premiere" was the right term00:47
nixternalGnome is where they got their start, but they don't hate on KDE, which is kind of nice for a change00:47
* daSkreech would wear a Klarivoyance T-Shirt00:47
JucatoXavier, an Xfce distro based on Foresight Linux00:47
* Jucato wonders if people will get the reference :P00:47
ryanakcanixternal: Documentation + bzr questions... well, I guess it applies to all documents in a VCS. How would you format the text in your text editor to be VCS friendly?00:49
JucatodaSkreech: users will be called klairvoyants :)00:49
ryanakcavim's reformat paragraph (aka, set it up so that each line is up to 80 chars) creates a lot of noise in (bzr|svn) diff... the whole paragraph gets changed because you added one word and it made all the lines bump a word down.00:50
ryanakcaHave one sentence per line or?00:50

ScottK2Urgh.20:05
SimeScottK2: where?20:06
SimeDoes anyone know if it is possible to 'link' bugs together in LP, like other bug trackers?20:07
ScottK2Sime: It's not possible.20:07
ScottK2LP developers have determined it's not needed or to confusing or something.  I don't recall the specifics20:07
Simeok, thanks. I'll add a comment then.20:08
Nightrosebut it gets linked when you mention a bugnumber in your comment20:08
ScottK2Specifically I see pci_bus = ScanPCI.PCIBus(data_file_dir) in displayconfigabstraction.py and displayconfig-hwprobe.py and so I think there's something duplicated there20:08
ScottK2Sime: ^^^20:08
ScottK2You wouldn't happen to know which one is involved in hardware detection when displayconfig starts up?20:09
SimeScottK2: which program?20:11
ScottK2In kde-guidance displayconfig.20:11
ScottK2I've got it not crashing if xorg.conf is not present, but manual configuration is still needed.20:11
ScottK2I need to pull in detecting the graphics card to xorgconfig.py and so I'm looking where to lift it from.20:12
SimeIIRC, displayconfigabstraction.py does some hw detection.20:13
ScottK2I think that's the one.  I looked there first and it appears to be what I need at first glance.20:14
Simeit looks at the hw and your config file and combines the two. (i.e. if you have gfx card which is not mentioned in xorg.conf, then it will be detected).20:14
ScottK2I see where it's what calls xorgconfig.20:16

SimeRiddell: better idea. You can ask on the mailing list. :)21:38
RiddellSime: already have :)21:43
SimeRiddell: is that a real fix for the menu-text-in-oxygen problem?21:46
SimeRiddell:  do you know anything more about it?21:47
SimeRiddell: hideMainWindow() should probably take self as param 1.21:48
RiddellSime: well, it stops oxygen style doing whatever it does to menu text, I've no idea what that is but in qt 4.3 it doesn't seem to be much however in qt 4.4 oxygen style likes to make all text white but the bits I commented out would make it go black, so it ends up white (but much of the text is already)21:50
Riddelllet me know if you followed that :)21:50
fdovingoxygen does some weird things.21:52
smarterRiddell: With qt-copy from kde svn I don't get the white text, only with your package21:52
smartermaybe related to the patches KDE apply21:52
Riddellsmarter: hmm, could be21:52
fdovingRiddell: don't you apply the qt-copy patches to your packages?21:53

fdovingsmarter: no. not likely.21:54

fdoving:)21:54
fdovingi remember getting all white text with the qt4.4 beta packages.21:55
fdovingbut after a recompile it was all good.21:55
fdovingbut i've had white text with qt-copy too.21:55
Riddellso maybe we have a bad patch, or are missing a good one21:55
fdovingprobably something that has changed multiple times.21:56
Riddellhard to track down though21:56
fdovingare there problems with any of the qt-copy patches? - is there a reason not to just package qt-copy with all patches kde applies?21:56
Riddellfdoving: I follow debian, and they mostly do just package qt-copy, but it hasn't been updated since feature freeze or whenever21:57
fdovingk.21:57
fdovingi guess the text-color issue will vanish if you recompile the app with that qt-version.21:58
fdovingatleast that's what i've done when i experienced the issue, twice. and it worked.21:58

awen_hmm, Apport: "unknown crashed" ... you allways keep your fingers crossed that unknown isn't anything important22:09
fdovingalmost as nice as the one and only akonadi error. 'Unknown Error.' :)22:12
awen_Sime: hardy seems in a pretty good state ... i've been running it on my laptop for about two months, and it has been nothing but a joy22:13
ScottKSime: awen_'s fixed guidance-power-manager so well people complain they can't use it with kde4.22:13
fdovingi use guidance-power-manager with kde4. what's the problem?22:15
nosrednaekimguidance works for me....22:15
awen_fdoving: i wouldn't expect your brightness buttons to work?22:16
fdovingawen_: i'm on dell, everything works.22:16
awen_at least not with pop-ups22:16
fdovinghave never seen any popups ever, when changing brightness.22:16
ScottKfdoving: Not sure.  There's a bug on it somewhere.22:17
awen_fdoving: i think it was a new invention in hardy (or at least they were fixed to work in hardy)22:17
ScottKawen_: I see those on kde3 on my Dell.22:17
awen_ScottK: yeah ... but they weren't there in gutsy22:17
awen_fdoving: allways nice to have a laptop that just works ... but the poor soules with laptops where everything _needs_ to be done in software, could have some problems22:19
ScottKRIght.  Just saying they work.22:19
* awen_ remember something about dcop not being there in kde4 ... but with all the kde3 apps we are using, do we then have some sort of transition-scop thingie in hardy?22:20
fdovingawen_: right. but it still works on my laptop.22:20
fdovingawen_: what do you use dcop for, exactly? - displaying the messages with knotify?22:21
smarterawen_: dcopserver is automatically started by kdeinit which is started by every kde3 app, even in kde422:21
ScottKdcop is what whoever commented in the bug discussed.22:21
awen_fdoving: your laptop might do it in hardware ... my IBM T43 does that :D22:21
=== outofbody is now known as daSkreech
nosrednaekimyeah... my laptops has itin hardware22:22
nosrednaekimthough  the popup still comes up22:22
awen_smarter: ahh, that's how it works ... then guidance-power-manager should be able to work pretty well in kde4 too22:22
fdovingawen_: probably. but my laptop doesn't matter, everyone elses do. so making it work is important.22:22
awen_nosrednaekim: we've been doing anything to catch your key-presses and show the pop-up ... and not giving you an option to turn it off :P22:23
ScottKI get that for volume changes too.22:23
smarternever had the popup here, but it always worked (:22:23
nosrednaekimdoesn't bother me..22:23
awen_fdoving: true, true ... but you haven't found any issues in g-p-m worth noting?22:24
fdovingawen_: why not use the knotify framework? making those popups configureable would be nicer.22:24
awen_fdoving: g-p-m hasn't been "properly" updated since feisty, we are using an svn trunk checkout woth 20+ patches ... so we are known to use old technology22:26
fdovingawen_: i want support for the conservative cpu scaling governor. that's all on my wishlist currently. i also wanted to be able to have different actions on lid-close when on ac/battery. but that was rejected by upstream when i proposed it. (gnome have this).22:26
nosrednaekimawen_: as far as pet projects go, i'd love to see my wattmeter inegrated22:27
fdovingawen_: is this g-p-m version in svn/bzr somewhere?22:28
awen_fdoving: be here for early intrepid descisions ... we need to find out if we should use some other piece of software; or make a major clean-up in g-p-m22:28
nosrednaekimwell, we need a decent kde4 one...22:29
awen_we are actually working around qt-bugs fixed more than a year ago; and probably much much longer22:29
awen_nosrednaekim: exactly :)22:30
ScottKFirst decision will need to be do we have a complete kde3 desktop for Intrepid or is it just a kde4 desktop with remaining kde3 bits as needed.22:30
ScottKIf it's the latter, I think we can just file for removal.22:30
fdovingawen_: why are you working around those when they are fixed?22:30
nosrednaekimI think its all kde4... at least thats what I heard, I suppose they'll determine that at the end of may at UDS22:30
awen_ScottK: yeah ... but in any case we need a decent kde4 version22:31
awen_fdoving: i'm not working around them ... but there are loads of fixme's in the code22:31
ScottKThere's already an xrandr tool that needs finishing.22:32
fdovingawen_: working with solid to do this in kde4 would probably be smart, instead of making our own.22:32
ScottKfdoving: Gross hack is being generous for some of the stuff I'm doing to make displayconfig not die.22:32
nosrednaekimScottK: yeah.. that totally screwed by other hardy install22:33
nosrednaekimScottK: thankfully I was around when you were saying how to fix it :)22:33
awen_fdoving: i think we should start out with the beginning of intrepid and find out, if a good tool already exists22:33
ScottKnosrednaekim: My hacks are all alternatives to crashing, so it's still progress.22:34
nosrednaekim:)22:34
awen_ScottK: we are closing in on "crash-proof" ... one large try/except around it all, he22:35

awen_hehe, i'm amazed ... i'm working on chip design a lot; that's also programming in a sense, but is also a long way from what you are used to22:45
ScottKFor me $WORK is mostly system engineering.  Very little actual code.22:48
awen_i hope i end up in a higher layer than actual "programming" too ... but during the studies, you need to learn the background; but that's not bad at all, rather fun :)22:50
awen_ScottK: any reason why we are translating (i18n) "charging" but not "discharging" in g-p-m ... to late to fix that?22:52
