[00:03] ScottK: :) [00:05] ScottK: uploaded it to my ppa ... should be avaible for testing in 10-20 minutes [00:05] the debdiff is here: http://awen.dk/packages/kde-guidance_0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu13.debdiff [00:09] everybody who has time, please test: https://launchpad.net/~andreas-wenning/+archive ... guidance-backends (the version ending in ubuntu13, which is on it's way) [00:19] * awen- just thought of an improvement ... new upload in 5 mins or so [00:24] new version uploaded ... please test guidance-backends_0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu13+ppa1 when it is avable [00:25] * yuriy cheers for a bug-free guidance in hardy [00:27] Riddell: You said you'd look at the coremoid package to give me pointers once I uploaded it? http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=2230 [00:27] ScottK: reuploaded the debdiff ... so still avaible here http://awen.dk/packages/kde-guidance_0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu13.debdiff [00:28] yuriy: :D ... (but didn't you just assign a new bug against it ;P) === afiestas_b is now known as afiestas [00:31] JontheEchidna: let me look [00:32] Riddell: If you care to sponsor kde-guidance from awen-, please go ahead. I can look at it in ~4 or 5 hours if not. [00:35] JontheEchidna: looks great. you left a manpage template in there which should probably just be removed (1.docbook). also it's better to build it with builddir!=sourcedir [00:35] JontheEchidna: to compile with builddir!=sourcedir, the cmake line becomes "mkdir build; cd build; cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4/ .." [00:36] make becomes "cd build; $(MAKE)" [00:36] same for make install [00:36] and the make clean line just "rm -rf build" [00:37] JontheEchidna: not sure what the "** CHECKOUT **" is in debian/copyright [00:37] http://www.sebruiz.net/322 [00:37] Riddell: It was in the template when I got it [00:37] haven't come across that but if amarok 1.4.9 isn't gonna be in hardy, it would be good to back port the cover art fix [00:37] **CHECKOUT** [00:38] yuriy: already is [00:38] JontheEchidna: shrug, just delete then [00:38] ok [00:39] Riddell: ok :) [00:40] JontheEchidna: missing a build-depend "make[3]: /usr/bin/cmake: Command not found" [00:40] JontheEchidna: you can test build in pbuilder to spot things like that [00:40] ok [00:42] Where can I find out when the feature freeze ends? [00:42] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardyReleaseSchedule [00:42] thanks [00:42] April 24th [00:44] so should I bother uploading the new source deb until then? [00:45] Oh, but the other guy has a package too [00:45] JontheEchidna: yeah, upload to revu [00:45] we'll just pick one at random on the day :) [00:46] :) [00:46] new guidance avaible in my PPA, if anyone is interested in kicking it without having an xorg.conf [00:47] jonathan@jonathan-desktop:~/Documents/sauce/coremoid$ dput revu coremoid_0.3.1-0ubuntu1_source.changes -f [00:47] Already uploaded to revu.tauware.de [00:48] * awen- is going to bed now [00:49] happy hacking everyone ... still some hours until the freeze in your timezone ;) [00:49] Oh, I put the -f flag in the wrong place [00:49] sleep well awen- , thanks for that [00:49] all is well [00:50] thanks Riddell [00:50] see you all tomorrow [00:55] groovy works [00:55] ScottK: uploading guidance [01:00] ARgh, I was writing to my backup of /debian... [01:00] * JontheEchidna slaps self [01:03] http://pastebin.com/m5390d3ed <-Why is it writing files to build's parent directory? [01:04] brb [01:07] Riddell: Great. [01:08] Riddell: That's the last item on my Kubuntu list for Hardy. [01:08] JontheEchidna: you need to rm CMakeCache.txt (and the other files that cmake made too preferably, zgrep \+\+\+ coremoid_0.3.1-0ubuntu1.diff.gz | grep -v debian) [01:08] ScottK: awooga! [01:09] Riddell: I'm pretty sure kde3 for Hardy is in good shape now. [01:10] * Riddell snoozes [01:10] JontheEchidna: you don't need "[ ! -f Makefile ] || " [01:11] yay! [01:11] JontheEchidna: your Description: field in debian/control is wrong, it should be a short 1 line description then a long description below it (indented by two spaces and with blank lines using .) [01:15] Riddell: Liek this? http://pastebin.com/m1efd06ed [01:25] Riddell: Well if all went well the latest source.changes, etc should be uploaded to revu. If we don't meet again tonight you could always leave comment there, I suppose [01:54] JontheEchidna: http://pastebin.com/m243d8099 - but I'm no native speaker.

[04:49] haha [04:49] should have seen that one coming [04:49] :D [04:49] we have more translations that I originally thought..some of have just been updated [04:49] how long will it take to get the @kubuntu.org address? i become my kubuntu member on the 19th of march and no email forwarding as yet :( [04:50] wonder when we're going to get a full Esperanto Kubuntu, or a Latin one [04:50] Czessi: you need to hit up one of the canonical sysadmins [04:50] Czessi: you added yourself to the ubuntu members team in LP? [04:50] nixternal: ok, i'll ask them [04:51] er.. kubuntu members I mean (which automatically adds you to the ubuntu members) [04:52] Jucato: no, only added me to kubuntu members bit threre is an indirect membership for ubuntu-members https://edge.launchpad.net/~czessi [04:52] yeah, what I meant :) [04:52] nixternal: the sticker notebook is yours? [04:52] ya [04:53] btw, if you're email forwards to a gmail account, don't send yourself and email to test it [04:53] 24 stickers in total [04:53] but those will get removed eventually...I am going to mod my lappy with a new paint job, and a new custom airbrushed plate in the back with mass KDE love :) [04:53] at least that is my plans [04:54] if I go through with it has yet to be seen === xRaich[o12x is now known as xRaich[o]2x [09:17] hola r0uzic [09:18] poor smarter :( [09:18] Hi jpatrick [09:19] Czessi: @kubuntu.org address are usually made after two days, see https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+faq/71 [09:24] jpatrick: what about smarter? [09:24] hmm? [09:24] Riddell: his remote hates him [09:24] what? [11:10] seele: what do you think of the partition buttons here? http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/partition-buttons.png in german they don't fit on 800 pixels so they've been put on two lines [11:33] Riddell: what were you after the other day? [11:37] Riddell: I've found the cause of the "menu text dissappearing in Oxygen" PyKDE problem.... and my head hurts. [11:39] Sime: you're a genius! [11:39] what was it? [11:44] dynamic_cast acts differently between linked and dlopened libraries? c++ is so evil [11:46] WORLD OF PAIN! [11:47] stooopid linking [11:47] it would be nice if C++ worked as advertised. [11:47] But you have to know about everything under covers. [12:11] w00t, kwin composite now works without drawing black lines around windows on ATi cards [12:12] finally, I can use transparency in Yakuake [12:13] Morning. [12:14] The dot's planet-kde updater is broken. D: [12:14] I've missed days worth of blogs [12:15] I think I'll never switch back to KDE 3.5 now :) [12:15] * smarter does the Qt4 Dance :P [12:16] I'd probably build 4.1 myself except that I don't have the raw CPU power to do that with any regularity or speed [12:21] with my Pentium M 1,73 GHz, the first built of qt-copy took 1h20, kdelibs took 1h and kdebase 30 minutes [12:23] Celeron (dun dun dun....) 2.5 GHZ [12:24] Fresh Wine takes 2 1.2 hours [12:24] 1/2 [12:24] ccache helps [12:26] Riddell: what does the german button say? [12:26] * seele yawns [12:29] seele: "Undo partition changes" [12:33] seele: I suppose what's needed is a flow layout for the buttons, but there's no stock way to do that [12:35] previously they weren't translatable so they could fit on one line [12:48] Riddell: will the other buttons eventualy be translated? because they might not all fit if they are [12:48] oh, the one is [12:48] seele: yes they will be [12:49] and if they're equally long that is an issue [12:49] hmm [12:50] it is ok how it is for now, i just hope the other buttons fit once theyre translated [12:52] even if we shortened the button to just "Undo changes", all the buttons probably wont fit once they are translated [12:53] is it a ubiquity hug day? i noticed a lot of ubiquity bugs got fixed [12:56] it's a seele hug day :) [13:01] seele: have you seen the new partition size widget on the gtk frontend? http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/partition2.png think it's better than a slidebar? [13:01] hmm [13:02] i dont know if users would notice the affordance, but it could be fixed [13:02] it needs a bounding box around the entire widget [13:02] maybe the widget color changed too, otherwise it looks like it is part of the window and not of an interactive widget [13:03] although.. that workflow is kindof strange. for option 1 you configure it right there and i assume Next takes you to the user info page? [13:03] seele: yes [13:03] guided doesnt require any other input, but manual takes you to the other partition screen [13:03] well.. i guess maybe its not that bad [13:04] its just weird that you have the interactive widget there but cant do anything else for the other options [13:05] although it would be interesting to see how that effects the perception of the manual option. if you can configure guided there, but not manual, does that mean you configure anything for manual? [13:05] * seele still doesnt like the label guided, but apparently no one else agreed [13:05] * Serega waves [13:05] it's not my favourite label [13:05] to Serega [13:06] Riddell: ok, I'll use another greeting :) [13:06] Riddell: what is the latest deadline for GDEbi? [13:06] err, ignore me Serega, typo [13:06] Serega: today :) [13:06] lol [13:07] ah... darn... [13:07] Riddell: today's day or night? :) [13:08] Serega: european night [13:08] Serega: we can probably sneak it in if you need a bit longer [13:09] Riddell: thanks, it would be great. I'll try do get it in time anyway, but thanks. [13:27] I never understood one thing about kubuntu - why isn't "show recently used applications" enabled by default in kmenu? (kde3.5) [13:30] to keep the kmenu simple and uncluttered [13:34] Riddell: http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/5785/partition3cq0.png [13:35] Riddell: that is what the widget should look like, i assume the handle highlights when the mouse is over? (if not it should..) [13:35] Riddell: dunno if you want to pass that on or if you want me to put it in a bug [13:36] seele: I can pass it on, and also implement it on the KDE side [13:39] awesome [14:35] seele: http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/partition3.png [14:38] Riddell: cool. the border really helps. although the grabby thing doesnt stand out as much as in the Gnome version, i dunno if it's such a problem that people wouldn't figure it out [14:38] i might be concerned for windows users, because i dont think those types of widgets are used often in windows so they might not recognize it [14:45] seele: bug 215131 [14:45] Launchpad bug 215131 in ubiquity "resize widget changes for clarity" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/215131 [14:47] Riddell: does Gnome use binary or decimal units? [14:47] seele: how do you mean? [14:48] KiB vs. KB [14:48] i think KDE4 uses KiB now, doesn't it? do you think the installer should reflect that? [14:48] (for the KDE4 remix) [14:49] dunno.. seems stupid to have two versions of ubiquity i guess [14:49] nevermind [14:49] seele: partman (used by ubiquity) uses 1MB=1,000,000bytes [14:49] but +1 on the bug entry [14:49] ok [14:50] which is an SI MB, but not what most people think is a MB (an SI MiB) [14:57] Jucato <3 [14:57] hi Tm_T sir [15:26] Riddell: can you please apply http://aplg.kollide.net/kubuntu/gdebi/gdebi-0.3.7.patch and upload? https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/gdebi/ubuntu [15:40] apachelogger: groovy === klerfayt_ is now known as klerfayt [16:13] Riddell: building kubuntu-docs now...will do some testing and then upload the package for you to upload :) [16:15] thanks nixternal === _Czessi is now known as Czessi [16:15] morning [16:16] mornin' it is [16:16] Czessi: where are you at that it is morning? [16:16] nixternal: this morning I'm coming from work an now I'm coming from bed ;) [16:17] nixternal: I'm in germany [16:17] ahh [16:18] oh wow, the IBM Hydro-Cluster Supercomputer is bad arse [16:19] cool water goes to the CPU, warm/hot water leaves the CPU...and IBM plans to utilize the warm/hot water for heating and what not..pretty cool [16:22] I think it's better to name the package coremoid-kde4. so it's listed when someone use the -kde4 tag by filtering in adept. http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?package=coremoid [16:26] Czessi: doesn't really matter [16:26] there are far too many results for a kde4 filter [16:26] so if someone is looking for a plasmoid they hopefully search for plasmoid or plasma ;-) [16:29] apachelogger: ok, i build booth versions but JontheEchidna was faster to upload the package ;) [16:30] uhhh, contributor racing [16:31] that sounds like fun :D [16:32] no, he has uploaded first and so he did it [16:33] Riddell: thanks for the upload :) [16:34] Czessi: well, like I said: a race [16:35] however uploads first gets all ze karma :D [16:35] there is no upload Karma :) [16:36] Oo [16:36] * apachelogger is wondering whether nixternal trusts lp karma [16:36] there should be though [16:36] I haven't looked at LP karma in who knows how long [16:36] same here [16:36] last I looked, I had translation karma, and haven't translated a damn thing :) [16:36] lol [16:37] * apachelogger had more karma from answering questions than from fixing bug [16:37] I used to answer questions years back, but haven't since then [16:38] I have to take the dogs to the beauty salon..it is so funny, the people are more afraid of the 10 pound Yorki than they are of a 100 pound pit bull [16:39] awesome, we are going to have severe thunderstorms tonight and snow tomorrow [16:41] meh [16:49] Riddell: are there any plans for a kdepim (4:3.5.9-ubuntu3) yet? would be nice to get the fix for http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155223 in [16:49] KDE bug 155223 in IMAP "sieve script is truncated" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] [16:49] hey guys [16:50] i would like to take the time to introduce myself if anyone is interested [16:51] seezer: there's no plans but if there's a fix we can upload [16:51] hi eagles0513875 [16:51] ah good, another jonathan [16:51] hey Riddell [16:51] Riddell: hmkay ;) [16:51] fyi guys i am joining the dev team. i admit i dont have much programming practice except java know how but im planning on teaching myself c++ and python sometime as well as how to write kernels [16:52] im studying for a bsc in computing and informationsystems and im currently based in europe for school but am originally from the usa [16:52] write kernels?
