[00:47] ScottK: it will need some testing [00:48] awen_: You've got ~24 hours [00:49] then it might be possible ... go test :) [00:51] I've changed 3 lines and added 4, and the worst that should happen is that the consumption display is wrong [00:52] awen_: Does that package include your translation fix too? [00:54] ScottK: yeah, the one in the ppa does (just needed a quick test, and that was the version avaible to me) [00:54] OK. [00:55] ScottK: you just need to collapse the two topmost changelog entries [00:56] * ScottK has $WORK to do first, but I'll try and have a look. [00:57] ScottK: of course ...

I have seen it installs autostart file by itself, that is why I removed our own rule... [14:12] Riddell: I still have Lure's version of knetworkmanager and I have the autostart rule. [14:13] ScottK: I noticed that it is different directory than we had before - maybe the one installed by upstream is not used in kubuntu [14:14] Dunno. It appears to be autostarting and there is a rule in the dir he mentions in debian/changelog. [14:14] It's also possible I wouldn't have it on a fresh install. [14:15] Lure: it installed to the wrong place, needs to be /etc/xdg/autostart else kde 4 won't see it [14:24] there is not 1 set of completed translations for Kubuntu docs [14:24] 12 almost complete [14:25] Riddell: ok, I thought so... [14:26] Riddell: should this be changed upstream? [14:27] Lure: upstream are working on 0.7 [14:28] but yes it should probably use the xdg dir [14:28] Riddell: ok, I will look to forward also some other patches upstream [14:28] they may well not apply [14:28] porting to 0.7 and kde 4 means it's a rewrite I suspect [14:29] http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/knetworkmanager/ seems to be it [16:18] Riddell: ping [16:21] hi Artemis_Fowl [16:21] Riddell: hey [16:22] Riddell: concerning the feature in KGRUBEditor that will be used to install/restore GRUB [16:22] Riddell: I am going to work on it [16:22] great [16:23] Riddell: and I would like to know what should I inlude [16:23] Riddell: simply a front-end to grub-install [16:23] or something more? (eg install GRUB into a floppy) [16:24] Artemis_Fowl: the use case I have is a Friend who somehow had windows wipe over her boot loader so now she can't get into linux [16:25] Artemis_Fowl: so she wants to load a kubuntu live CD and click a button to restore the boot loader [16:25] I don't see a need for floppy [16:26] but it would presumably need to find the config on her existing kubuntu install somehow [16:26] unless a new one could be made easily [16:27] Riddell: a new config is created with grub-install or am I worng? [16:27] Artemis_Fowl: I've no idea, you're the grub expert :) [16:28] GRUB Manual is the GRUB expert :) I'll take a look at it [16:41] Riddell: rouzic, asks if we could register a es.kubuntu.org, as we are unable to get the old domain back [16:41] Riddell: Just to touch base with you ...

[20:24] How should I proceed? [20:24] email the dev [20:25] and then wait until he releases a version with copyrights before packaging? [20:25] well, I suppose I'd have to, heh. [20:25] yeah [20:25] j .e [20:26] oops [20:26] unless he has svn or somethign which he'd commit to and you'd be able to make an svn checkout [20:27] Hrm, now how to approach this, heh... [20:27] Riddell: I need an opinion on further fixing of displayconfig... Currently if one has no xorg.conf, it's necessary to startup, pick your monitor, restart X, and then you can use displayconfig. This is because of where/how graphics card detection is done. [20:27] awen_: looks good. displays 18W here. [20:28] fdoving: cheater ... that's lower than me ;) [20:28] Riddell: I can, I'm pretty sure, extract the relevant bits out of displayconfigabstraction and stuff them around to get graphics card detection on the first pass (so no need to restart X and no release note needed for displayconfig). [20:28] but thanks for testing :) [20:29] Riddell: It's gonna be several hundred lines of Python added. Almost all copy/paste except for whitespace adjustments. [20:29] I'm pretty sure if it works when I test it, it will either be reasonably reliable for everyone or crash and burn for me. [20:29] Riddell: So do I press on and upload this if I can make it work? [20:30] ScottK: could it be possible to do some sort of "internal" restart... reiniting the application or something like that? [20:31] * ScottK thinks about that [20:33] ScottK: that is how the hal/dbus restarts are done in g-p-m ... running nearly all the initialization code again [20:33] That might work. [20:33] If it works it'd be a lot simpler. [20:33] * ScottK goes and tries - thanks [20:34] ScottK: remember that freeze is tomorrow [20:35] Riddell: Yeah. So it's get it done today or not at all. [20:35] ScottK: no problem... should hopefully eliminate the need for a lot of code duplication [20:41] blueyed: I have some Code for you. Could you create a package for ksshaskpass for KDE4? [20:42] The Dev gave me a copy of the current code, it's not released yet but should work [20:43] xRaich[o]2x: well, currently not.. too late for hardy anyway.. or what do you mean? [20:44] blueyed: Not for hardy. But i would be useful for the Applet. I causes Problems when you have a key on the SSH-Key [20:44] Riddell, a nice bug for Ubuntu upstream, update-manager doesn't recognzie the kde 4 meta package as a meta package and thus doesn't allow distribution upgrade [20:45] blueyed: The main thing is that it should run update-alternatives for ssh-askpass [20:45] blueyed: I don't have a clue when i comes to packaging ^^ [20:45] it [20:46] Riddell: trying to get the docs pkg complete with translations before freeze [20:46] I hate doing documentation now because of this [20:46] hello [20:47] CheGuevara: it's not ment to [20:47] since 10:00 I have been fixing translations, it is now 14:47 [20:47] Riddell, why? [20:49] ARGHHHHHHHHHH! [20:49] awen_: Upon reflection, I think I ought not break U/I freeze and add your power consumption change. If you can get it approved U/I and string wise, I'll be glad to upload it (I think it's nice). [20:49] I hate bzr, for no good reason it is now saying docs repo isn't a repo [20:49] nixternal: And it probably took a long time to come to that conclusion too ... [20:50] I have been working here for hours on this crap, and now I can't do anything [20:50] CheGuevara: well we havn't had a kubuntu-kde4 meta package before [20:50] except check out the entire branch again, which takes forever [20:50] ScottK: where do you get such a U/I freeze exception approved? [20:50] Riddell, yeah, but why not add it now, since distribution upgrade is not necessarily to a new distribution but simply when one package replaces the other [20:51] Riddell: if I don't get the docs package finished today, will it be able to get uploaded tomorrow? [20:51] or later on this evening [20:51] awen_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#head-a8c0a8587e79e2acce0b763e360698e9b1bb07ac [20:54] nixternal: yes, should be fine [20:54] good, cuz I am having one hell of a time right now [20:54] and I need to head out for a bit [20:59] awen_: how do I test your new power manager? [21:00] Riddell: just close your current power manager and start it using guidance-power-manager ... I've just uploaded a new version to my PPA that should be build in hopefully 10 minutes [21:01] awen_: what is new in your version? [21:01] is knetworkmanager coming? [21:02] Lure: it will show the current power consumption in watts [21:03] Riddell: I know it's late for awen_'s fix, but it is kind of neat and this is probably our last release for gpm, so it'd be nice to get it in if you think it's reasonable. [21:03] It'd make a cool screenie for the release page [21:03] and the new version is ready in the PPA [21:06] CMake Error: Could NOT find QtCore. [21:06] hmm wtf [21:07] oh [21:07] Riddell, there's a bug in your 4.4 RC 1 packages I think [21:08] Unpacking libqtcore4 (from .../libqtcore4_4.4.0~rc1-1ubuntu1~ppa1_i386.deb) ...

[21:14] ScottK: or should I state that I have a sponsor for the package if the U/I FFE is granted? [21:14] Why don't you just make a diff and include your proposed changelog entry [21:15] That'll work [21:15] * ScottK is still futzing w/ displayconfig. [21:15] Simple recursion isn't enough. [21:15] ScottK: okay, thanks [21:16] ScottK: sad ... hope you mange to get it going [21:18] hmm... but the patch depends on exactly the same part of the code ... the patch really depends on the other patch [21:18] Then assume it's been applied already.

[22:41] ScottK: okay ... closing in on midnight here in europe; but I have an hour tomorrow morning (eg. in about 8 hours) where I could look into it [22:42] awen_: I think it's worthwhile work regardless. [22:42] awen_: Please do. [22:42] awen_: Debian will need this fixed even if we don't. [22:43] ScottK: i think you uploaded the wron kde-guidance source... [22:43] No [22:43] * ScottK looks [22:43] ScottK: just downloaded the source ... it's my ppa version [22:44] gahahahahahahahahahahahaha [22:45] McKenzie or whatever her name is, thought I was a girl :p [22:45] that is to funny === kitterma is now known as ScottK2 [22:45] nixternal: Does it make sense to you to have the user info in Kmail added to the dictionary ? [22:45] ScottK: if you delete the last changelog entry, and remove the patch mentioned therein we'll be good again ( the second to last changelog entry has the higher numbering) [22:45] awen_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62685/ is what I get if I debdiff 11 and 12 [22:45] daskreech: what dictionary? [22:46] the dictionary that Kmail uses [22:46] kspell or whatever it is [22:46] makes sense to me if it doesn't do it already [22:46] ScottK2: but 11+rate2 is uploaded [22:46] soprano :-) [22:47] awen_: You have your PPA in your sources.list, right? [22:47] soprano? that doesn't do dictionary stuff [22:47] sonnet you mean in KDE 4? [22:48] ScottK: ahh, of course ... I thought that the preferences.conf were effective on source downloads as well, but obviosly not :) [22:48] ScottK: then everything is fine [22:48] OK. [22:48] You owe me one now. [22:48] * ScottK2 swallows his heart again. [22:49] Now you have to fix displayconfig ... [22:49] ScottK2: as long it's enough to mend it ;) [22:52] ScottK: or one could argue that we are even now ... i caught it the last time the upload went wrong, and caught a false positive now, hehe [22:59] anyone know who Corey Kontros is? === uga is now known as uga|away [23:35] is it a reasonable to expect that we have read/write access to /tmp ... or is there a way to determine where it is safe to place a temporary file [23:42] awen-: /tmp is fine, that's what it's for [23:42] Riddell: can we be sure to be able to write there... or is it a good idea to be able to recover for it being non-writable [23:51] yeah ... it works!!!!!!!! [23:54] awen-: Agreed (on being even). [23:54] awen-: yes I think /tmp is always writable, if not other things break first [23:55] ScottK: we are rolling ... deleting my xorg.conf, and displayconfig still detects everything correctly :) [23:55] Cool. [23:55] awen-: Thanks for staying up late to fix it. [23:55] seele: nope [23:56] ScottK: I'll definately need an extra cup of coffee tomorrow ... but glad I could help [23:56] * awen- is just making everything into a real patch [23:58] awen-: Guidance was definitely the weak link in KDE3. You've been a big help in making in rock for Hardy. Thanks again.
