ubotuLaunchpad bug 216529 in kdebase "kdebase-bin depends kdebase-bin-kde3 OR kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4" [High,Triaged]08:06
eagles0513875basically what i need to do with this is removed the kde-bin-kde3 dependency08:07
eagles0513875and leave the kdebase-runtime-bin-kde408:07
stdinwhat's the problem?08:08
eagles0513875apachelogger found this last night and i just wanna make sure i understand what im doing so what i need to do is to remove the dependency on the kdebase-bin of kde3 right08:09
stdinfrom the report: "therefore the dependency should be _only_ kdebase-bin-kde3"08:09
eagles0513875so then remove the kde4 dependency08:09
stdinthat's the way I read it08:10
eagles0513875ill wait till he gets on i did just file another bug which i can probably take a stab at in the mean time08:10
eagles0513875https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kopete/+bug/21666508:10
ubotuLaunchpad bug 216665 in kopete "kopete displays all my msn contacts as being offline using kde4" [Undecided,New]08:10
stdinso what you need to do is remove any dependencies of -kde4 in there08:10
eagles0513875for some reason i dunno y kde4 likes to display all my msn contacts as offline08:11
eagles0513875ok goign to start figuring that out08:11
eagles0513875stdin: where exactly in the kdebase should i look08:20
stdinin debian/control, just search all the Depends: lines08:21
stdin(should only be on the "Package: kdebase-bin" section though)08:21
eagles0513875not finding it though08:22
stdindid you make sure to download the hardy version? (Version: 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu6)08:23
eagles0513875i did sudo apt-get source and got the source08:23
stdinwhat version did it get then?08:24
eagles0513875how do i check08:24
eagles0513875thename says 3.5.908:24
stdinlook at the .dsc file name08:24
stdinshould be kdebase_3.5.9-0ubuntu6.dsc08:25
eagles0513875not finding where it says that08:27
stdinin the directory you ran apt-get source from08:28
eagles0513875cli08:28
stdincli?08:28
eagles0513875nm i just got what ur saying08:28
Hobbseethe dependancy should be kdebase-runtime-bin-kde408:30
Hobbsee4 C&R's 3.08:30
eagles0513875Hobbsee: so we keep kde4 get rid of 308:30
Hobbseeyeha08:31
eagles0513875still somewhat confused as to checking which version of the source i got lol08:32
eagles0513875stdin: if i have hardy on this machine wouldnt i be downloading the hardy source by default08:34
stdinshould do, yeah08:34
DarkMageZdoes anyone maintain a repository for kde 4 trunk?08:34
Hobbseethen again, what does this mean for kde3 users?08:34
stdinnot that I know of DarkMageZ08:34
eagles0513875not to go digging through files woot08:35
eagles0513875the dependencies that im looking for would those be in the config files08:36
stdinno, it'd be in debian/control08:36
eagles0513875there isnt a debian/control folder here08:37
stdinin the source directory08:37
eagles0513875there is everything but a source directory08:37
stdinkdebase-3.5.9/debian/control <- it's a file08:38
eagles0513875gotcha08:38
* Hobbsee isn't sure that is actually right08:38
eagles0513875than again im still not finding it08:38
stdinkdebase-3.5.9/debian/control: line 98: Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-14), kdebase-bin-kde3 | kdebase-runtime-bin-kde408:39
eagles0513875so a simple kde3 delete will fix this error08:39
eagles0513875i must have gotten the wrong source cuz even with a find its not working08:40
eagles0513875what subdirectory is it under08:40
stdinwhere you ran apt-get source you should have files: kdebase_3.5.9-0ubuntu6.diff.gz,  kdebase_3.5.9-0ubuntu6.dsc and  kdebase_3.5.9.orig.tar.gz and one directory: kdebase-3.5.908:41
eagles0513875stdin: i i just have the kdebase08:41
eagles0513875source08:41
eagles0513875from the orig.tar.gz08:41
eagles0513875maybe i didnt extract it completely which is most likely the case08:42
stdinapt-get source should have unpacked it for you08:42
eagles0513875it got an error08:42
stdinremove the dir and do "dpkg-source -x kdebase_3.5.9-0ubuntu6.dsc"08:42
stdinoh, what error?08:42
eagles0513875im goign to redownload the source and see if it happens again08:43
eagles0513875whats the source pkgs name i need to download08:44
stdinyou just do "apt-get source kdebase"08:45
eagles0513875its getting it08:45
stdinapt-get source will find the right source package if you give it a binary package name anyway08:46
eagles0513875internet suxs balls here08:47
eagles0513875sh: dpkg-source: not found08:49
eagles0513875Unpack command 'dpkg-source -x kdebase_3.5.9-0ubuntu6.dsc' failed.08:49
eagles0513875Check if the 'dpkg-dev' package is installed.08:49
eagles0513875E: Child process failed08:49
eagles0513875thats the error i get08:49
stdinthen you should probably make sure dpkg-dev is installed ;)08:49
* Hobbsee would suggest installing build-essentials08:49
eagles0513875lol ok i will after this is installed lol im such a noob when it comes to all this08:50
eagles0513875Hobbsee: where do i get build essentials from im doing apt-cache search for it nothings coming up08:51
* Hobbsee also advocates reading, and using apt-cache search.08:51
* Hobbsee thirdly advocates using a brain.08:51
fdovingeagles0513875: it's named build-essential, not essentials. :)08:51
stdinapt-get install build-essential08:51
Hobbsee(saves you looking like an idiot)08:51
eagles0513875lol08:52
eagles0513875i know bout apt-cache search Hobbsee use it all the time cuz i hate going into the pkg manager08:52
Hobbseeapparently not well enough, because you didn't search for build essential or similar, or didn't see the result.08:52
fdovingif you search for build essentials you won't find anything.08:53
fdovingthe "essential" part of that package should be named "essentials" to appear in searches :)08:53
Hobbseeyes, hence the drop the s, and try again.08:54
eagles0513875lol08:54
Hobbseeit's usually good for searching08:54
eagles0513875they should change it a bit if there is an extra letter like i was doing it should still find the pkgs relating to ur search even if the spelling isnt exact08:54
eagles0513875no to try downloading the source again08:54
fdovingno, when i search for something i want those matches, not all the 'almost' matches.08:55
eagles0513875thats true08:55
* Hobbsee notes that this might be a really fast way to stop doing kubuntu development.08:55
fdovingHobbsee: what? dying? (09:11 *   Hobbsee  dies08:56

Hobbseeno.  smashing my head against a wall.08:57

eagles0513875its all my fault:(08:57
* eagles0513875 blames myself08:57
fdovingeagles0513875: don't.08:57
eagles0513875Hobbsee: dont stop cuz of me lol ill stop before i even get started08:58
fdovingshe won't stop, shes addicted :)08:58
Hobbseefdoving: i haven't run hardy kubuntu at all, you know.08:58
eagles0513875im addicted to kubuntu thats y ive decided to help out08:58
eagles0513875im running the 64bit version of it with kde4 and compiz08:58
fdovingHobbsee: it's caused me nothing but trubbel so far, so i'd wait as long as possible.08:59
eagles0513875which i was told wouldnt work lol08:59
eagles0513875fdoving: u using the beta08:59
eagles0513875stdin: what was the version u said i should have of the source08:59
fdovingeagles0513875: why would you use compiz in kde4?08:59
eagles0513875fdoving: i dunno lol08:59
stdin3.5.9-0ubuntu608:59
eagles0513875i was on kde3 then upgraded to kde408:59
Hobbseecompiz is nicer than the kde4 equiv08:59
eagles0513875stdin: i have that08:59
Hobbseefdoving: oh, i lie.  i have tried, but haven't tried seriously in a while.08:59
eagles0513875lol in a way though kde 4 is implying that alot of people who use it must be blind with the size of the icons lol09:00
fdovingmight be true that compiz got more (useless?) bling-bling.09:00
fdovingi find the kwin-desktop-effects just fine, and i even disable most of them because they are annoying.09:00
* Hobbsee likes compiz bling. it actually seems to work more nicely than the original bling09:01
Hobbseewell, i find the kde versions to be a lot more kludgy09:01
eagles0513875i got so much compiz bling on here i go nuts sometimes09:01
eagles0513875so now i have to deleted the kde3 dependency right09:01
stdinbtw, you'll need to install devscripts to run debuild and debdiff09:01

ryanakcaeagles0513875: if you're using LVM, I'd suggest going for schroot, I can get you the guide for setting one of those up, otherwise, pbuilder is your best bet14:46
eagles0513875ryanakca: im on a simple laptop14:46

eagles0513875thanks ryanakca14:47
ryanakcaeagles0513875: Somewhat, yes, but if you used LVM when setting up your partitions (If you don't know what LVM is, then you didn't), I would recommend going for schroot. Enjoy :)14:48
eagles0513875ryanakca: i let kubuntu format during install my entire drive it automatically did them for me14:48

eagles0513875im a linux nut lol14:49
eagles0513875linux and kubuntu nut in particular14:50
ryanakcagoodies ;)  Oh, and if your starting packaging, *realises that he'd get shot in -motu for saying this*, you'll probably want to go the CDBS route... in my /most/ humble opinion, its much simple than going the long rules file with debhelper route.14:50
eagles0513875ryanakca: ?14:51
* apachelogger throws his whole ppa at ryanakca14:51
eagles0513875apachelogger: i have to remove the kde3 bin right14:51
apacheloggeryou can't properly use cdbs without understanding debhelper14:51
apacheloggereagles0513875: what makes you come to that conclusion?14:52
* ryanakca points out that it was only his most humble opinion, and that following it will most likely get you shot :)14:52
* ryanakca goes back to his homework14:53
eagles0513875apachelogger: says inur bug report14:53
eagles0513875*your14:53
Hobbseeapachelogger: i'm not sure that a lot of people 'understand' debhelper, in general.14:54
seeleArtemis_Fowl: pong14:57
apacheloggerHobbsee: true, still I think one should have a bit of an idea what cdbs is actually doing14:58
Artemis_Fowlseele: concerning this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuGrubconfig14:58
apacheloggereagles0513875: can't find it14:58
Artemis_Fowlseele: I have seen the blueprints14:58
Hobbseeapachelogger: oh sure.  i'm just questioning the 'understand' bit14:58
apacheloggerHobbsee: good finding on the replaces/conflicts btw :)14:58
Hobbseeit's like people 'understanding' cdbs14:58
apachelogger:D14:58
Hobbseeapachelogger: heh.  i did think it was a little strange.14:58
Hobbseeapachelogger: so we install kde4-based stuff on kde3 now?14:59
apacheloggerno14:59
Hobbseeor is that package only the binaries to be used on both now?14:59
apacheloggerthe package is just invalid14:59
HobbseeNBS?14:59
apacheloggerthe bins are in different paths14:59
Artemis_Fowlseele: and would like to know if the Save button is preferable to the click-and-save approach14:59
apacheloggerso there is no reason anything should conflict14:59

seeleArtemis_Fowl: let me look.  i havent seen the wireframes in a while15:01
Artemis_Fowlseele: take your time15:01
eagles0513875apachelogger: so kde 3 goes bye bye15:02
apacheloggereagles0513875: do you understand what I was writing there?15:03
apacheloggerguessing is no good practice for bugfixing really15:03
apacheloggereagles0513875: btw, I can't reproduce your msn issue15:04
eagles0513875apachelogger: u on kde415:04
Hobbseeapachelogger: so if they're not supposed to replace, why are they marked as C&R'ing?15:04
apacheloggereagles0513875: yes15:04
eagles0513875on kopete for kde415:04
eagles0513875not the kde3 kopete15:04
apacheloggerHobbsee: so that eagles0513875 can fix something ... I have no idea, maybe this is a left over from the times when we didn't use /usr/lib/kde415:05
apacheloggereagles0513875: yes15:05
eagles0513875basically what the bug is saying since they r in different paths there is no need for the kde4 dependency15:05
eagles0513875interesting15:05
eagles0513875apachelogger: im an idiot15:05
eagles0513875i wasnt online15:05

apacheloggereagles0513875: your probably can configure that15:07
apacheloggerplease close the kopete bug15:07
apacheloggereagles0513875: which other bug?15:07
seeleArtemis_Fowl: what do you mean the click-and-save approach?  you mean how if you click away from a page in system settings your prompted to save?15:08
eagles0513875same bug number u seemed to have posted it to another pkg as well15:08
eagles0513875https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/21652915:09
ubotuLaunchpad bug 216529 in kdebase-runtime "kdebase-bin depends kdebase-bin-kde3 OR kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4" [High,Triaged]15:09
Artemis_Fowlseele: no. once you change the status of a widget (eg a checkbox is checked and you click on it thus rendering it unchecked) the file is immediately updated to reflect the change15:09
apacheloggereagles0513875: Hobbsee discovered another part of this issue15:10
apacheloggerappearing in kdebase-runtime where -runtime-bin-kde4 replaces/conflicts the kde3 version, which is just as wrong as the alternative dependency in the kdebase-bin15:10
seeleArtemis_Fowl: ah, you mean implicit save15:10
eagles0513875so basically we r back to square one15:11
seeleArtemis_Fowl: i dont think that is used at all in KDE so i wouldnt recommend doing it for that dialog15:11
Artemis_Fowlseele: I am no usability expert :) don't know how all these things are named15:11
seeleArtemis_Fowl: i'm not sure if Gnome does stuff like that15:11
Artemis_Fowlseele: it wouldn't be hard to do15:12
Artemis_Fowlseele: btw I have a somewhat different approach as compared to the blueprints but I don't think it would be problem15:13
Artemis_Fowlseele: want some screenshots to tell me ur opinion on what to fix?15:13
seeleArtemis_Fowl: sure.15:13
Artemis_Fowlseele: k one min15:14
eagles0513875apachelogger: what would happen if we changed the path and put them in the same path15:14
apacheloggereagles0513875: 1) kde4 would break 2) kde3 would break 3) kubuntu would break15:15
Hobbsee.......15:15
* Hobbsee head --> desk.15:15
apacheloggeryou can't replace kde3 binaries with kde4 binaries and vice versa15:15
apacheloggerthat is like replacing windows 98 explorer with the one from vista15:16
eagles0513875then if ur running 3.5 rnt the kde binaries kinda redundant15:16
apacheloggereh?15:17
Hobbsee.......15:17
eagles0513875kde4 binaries i mean15:17
* Hobbsee notes that the whole "think before speech" didn't get through to eagles0513875 the first, nor the second time15:17
apacheloggereagles0513875: lemme translate that to a more visible example15:18
Artemis_Fowlseele: Screenshot #1: The main View. What the user firstly sees. Uses a tree-like view: http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1214640_nkgyi/KGRUBEditor22.png15:19
apacheloggereagles0513875: you just saied any new unstable version of something is redundant15:19
apacheloggerthat pretty much means progress is redundant15:20
eagles0513875what im saying is if ur running 3.5 rnt the kde4 binaries kinda redundant15:20
apacheloggerbecause how can you improve a product when you don't have a reliable base you can work on15:20
apacheloggereagles0513875: kinda15:20
apacheloggeras much as firefox is redundant when you run konqueror15:21
seeleArtemis_Fowl: how do you see that information?  do you select the item?  i dont see an expander icon (+)15:21
eagles0513875thats what i meant before15:21
apacheloggeras much as evolution is redundant when you run kmail etc.15:21
* ryanakca resists the urge to go '!u | eagles0513875'15:21
apacheloggereagles0513875: there is no redundancy as they are different15:21
seeleArtemis_Fowl: is that just displayed information or can you edit it?15:21
apacheloggereagles0513875: they do the same but aren't the same15:21
eagles0513875ok15:22
eagles0513875ryanakca: what that do lol15:22
ryanakca!u | eagles051387515:22
ubotueagles0513875: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..15:22
Artemis_Fowlseele: upon selecting the item it expands showing the info. if you reselect it it collapses. if you click empty space all items collapse and selection is cleared15:22
Artemis_Fowlseele: not editable (yet at least)15:22
Artemis_Fowlseele: you have to select the item and click edit entry to edit it15:22
apacheloggerryanakca: so as a revu using motu I am probably not taken seriously15:22
apacheloggerthat explains a lot though :P15:23
eagles0513875ryanakca: ok thanks for the reminder15:23
ryanakcaapachelogger: lol ;)15:23
seeleArtemis_Fowl: reselect it or double click it?  there is a difference15:23
ryanakcaapachelogger: don't mind me, its just one of my big pet peeves :)15:24
Artemis_Fowlseele: if selected and clicked it collapses15:24
apachelogger^_^15:24
seelehmm15:24
Artemis_Fowlseele: it follows a single-click rule15:25
seeleArtemis_Fowl: do you know if there are other listviews in KDE that do that?  i cant think of any offhand, but it would be good to follow their interaction pattern15:26
seele(people have already been complaining about the 20 different ways lists are implemented..)15:26
eagles0513875apachelogger: so now we have to figure out our course of action15:27
Artemis_Fowlseele: actually none of the listviews implementations would fit the needs of this app15:27
apacheloggereagles0513875: I already did, now you just need to unstand what I man :P15:27
Artemis_Fowlseele: do you have anything in mind?15:27
eagles0513875apachelogger: ok15:28
seeleArtemis_Fowl: id have to see more of the dialog to know where the rest of the functionality is15:29
eagles0513875apachelogger: so in regards to the last part of ur revised commend with the 2 bugs we remove the kde4 dependencies then fix why kde4 is being listed as the alternative to kde3 right15:29
Artemis_Fowlseele: ok then we move on to more screenshots.15:29
apacheloggereagles0513875: you have to fix 2 packages15:31
apacheloggerkdebase and kdebase-runtime15:31
apacheloggerin both there is an error in the debian/control file15:31
Artemis_Fowlseele: some general settings: http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1214659_lk5x5/KGRUBEditor23.png15:31
Artemis_Fowl"(/dev/[sh]d[a-z]\\d?|('\\()?hd\\d(,\\d)?(\\)')?)" you need a special decoder to understand what this reg exp says....even I can't understand what I wrote...all I know is it works :)15:32
eagles0513875apachelogger: ok and the kdebase is another source code i have to get or same source code15:33
seeleArtemis_Fowl: i dont think you can use tabs and pages that way15:33
seelepages contain tabs.  tabs do not contain pages15:33
eagles0513875apachelogger: nm answerred my own question15:33
Artemis_Fowlseele: I am open to ideas...15:34
seeleArtemis_Fowl: do you have more options in your dialog than in the mockup?15:34
Artemis_Fowlseele: it's not a mockup :) it's fully functional15:34
Artemis_Fowlseele: and yes all the other pages and tabs have functions15:35
Artemis_Fowlseele: options*15:35
seelei meant options that arent in the first wireframe.15:35
Artemis_Fowlseele: ah, yes. much more15:36
seelealso, one of the reasons why the grub ui never got implemented was that the config files were rewritten every time a new kernel was installed and your changes get lost.. did this change?15:37
seele(there might have been some other reasons too, but they were technical and i dont remember them)15:37
Artemis_Fowlseele: don't really know. does the kernel installation affect changes that aren't entry-specific such as default, fallback, timeout etc?15:39
Artemis_Fowlseele: actually KGRUBEditor was designed accoding to GRUB's Official Manual. it is not distro-specific15:40
seeleArtemis_Fowl: i'm pretty sure it does. but Riddell or mhb would know better15:40
seezerArtemis_Fowl: have a look at the menu.lst - only lines below ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST should be touched by update-grub15:40
Artemis_Fowlseele: that's all right then15:41
seeleArtemis_Fowl: no.. the problem was that adept replaces the config files, so all of your preferences are lost15:41
seezerbut this is debian (and kids) only  i guess15:41
seeleArtemis_Fowl: so every time you update your kernel you have to go an reconfigure everything15:41
seezerseele: sure? they just call update-grub after installing the kernels afaik15:41
Artemis_Fowlseele: I think what seezer says is true15:42
Artemis_Fowlseezer: only lines after between the AutoMagic list are affected I think15:42
seezerthat's what update-grub does. check for all kernel/initrd images and put them in your config, merging the debian-specific config options into the 'kernel' and 'root' lines15:43
Artemis_FowlRiddell: ping15:43
Artemis_Fowlif that's the case, then there is no problem15:44
seezerArtemis_Fowl: but the boot parameters for each kernel entry get updated to those 'default options' inside 'automagic kernels list'15:44
seezeri guess it's hard to get that done distro-agnostic15:45
Artemis_Fowlseezer: y there are many other 'hacks' in there such as lockold etc15:45
seezeryep. really debian-only afaik :/15:46
seezeri guess i.e. suse does that alot different through their yast thingy. but haven't had a hand on that for a long time now..15:46
Artemis_Fowlseezer: positive15:47
Artemis_Fowlseezer: they have their own 'hacks'15:47
Artemis_Fowlseezer: but such hacks should be edited by the user15:47
Artemis_Fowlseezer: KGRUBEditor works with standard GRUB, not all of these thingies15:47
eagles0513875apachelogger: is the other pkg part of the one we have cuz im already trying to download the 2nd pkg and im not finding anything pkg wise15:48
seezerbut the packagesystems will break it then. that's my guess :/15:48
Artemis_Fowlseele: anyway. any ideas till now?15:49
seezerArtemis_Fowl: but hard to do right.. perhaps you should just switch the meaning of 'K' from kde to kubuntu :)15:49
apacheloggereagles0513875: can you please sk the question in an undestandable way15:49
apacheloggerI read it twice and still don't understand it15:49
apacheloggers/sk/ask15:49
eagles0513875u said i have to fix 2 packages15:50
apacheloggeryes15:50
eagles0513875i have the kde base im trying to get a hold of the 2nd package that needs fixing but im not able to find it15:50
apacheloggerapt-get source kdebase-runtime15:50
apacheloggeror source kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 should be able to fix it as well15:51
apacheloggererrr15:51
apacheloggerdownload instead of fix ;-)15:51
seeleArtemis_Fowl: mmm.. not at the moment.  is that just a ui file?15:53
Artemis_Fowlseele: that refers to...?15:53
Artemis_Fowlseele: I didn't get what you mean15:54
seelethe screenshots you sent me, i was just wondering if it was a .ui file or if they were just mockups or if you coded it15:55
seelesomething you could send me so i can see all of the pages and tabs15:55
Artemis_Fowlseele: it is a combination .ui files and coding. for instance to set the KDE icons I use code15:56
seeleah ok15:56
Artemis_Fowlseele: what can be done using Qt Designer is done though it. anything else is coded15:57
Artemis_Fowlseele: have you got KDE4 installed?15:57
seeleyes (on a different machine)15:57
Artemis_Fowlseele: then you could try to compile from source (SVN) and you'll see exactly what it looks like15:58
seelemmm.. i'm not really too good with that :-/15:58
seelecan you send me screenshots?15:58
Artemis_Fowlseele: what about a video?15:58
seelei guess that would be ok too15:59
* Artemis_Fowl screencasts then15:59
Artemis_Fowlseele: to show you all the features, I will go through really quick. just pause for more details on everything16:00
Artemis_Fowlseele: it got a bit large and still I didn't include every feature16:03
Artemis_Fowlseele: uploading....16:04
seeleArtemis_Fowl: you know.. it doesn't need to include every feature16:04
seelethe purpose of the dialog (at least two years ago) was to make simple GRUB options accessible to less-technical users16:04
seelepower admins will probably feel more comfortable editing the file by hand because that is what they are used to16:04
Artemis_Fowlseele: y i know. only basic functionality is included in KGRUBEditor....16:05
seeleok..16:05
Artemis_Fowlseele: GRUB has hundreds of options...16:05
Artemis_Fowl8MB is the video size...16:06
seelehmm.. bbiab.  i forgot i have to go sign my new lease today16:06

awen-yuriy: doesn't that make the strings intranslatable?18:13
awen-yuriy: i don't know if it works in this case ... but have you seen the kubuntu_22_userconfig_utf8.patch , that was a somewhat similar problem18:14
yuriyawen-: well i'm not sure on that one cause i don't know much about i18n. i know current translations still work18:14
yuriyyeah i meant to ask you what the "similar" bug was18:15
yuriyah so according to that patch translations should still work but it might not get the encoding right?18:16
yuriyor why is the .encode(locale.getpreferredencoding())) necessary?18:16
yuriyeither way, it wasn't doing that before18:17
yuriywhat i've changed is essentially instead of18:17

yuriyit's now item = "thing"; combobox.insertitem(unicode(i18n(item)))18:18
awen-yuriy: does that really make a difference... scary18:19
yuriyawen-: well i would hope that doesn't make a difference as far as i18n goes18:19
yuriyawen-: but since the items are dictionary keys they really shouldn't be translated18:19

jussio1hrm, does kde4 system settings not have admin mode? its been asked several times and I have no idea...19:51
fdovingit's missing the guidance modules if that's what you mean.19:52
ugajussio1: exactly. Old methods were deprecated before any new method for administering rights were added19:52
ugajussio1: sort of "okay, lets replace existing features with vapourware"19:52
ugafdoving: he means that if you go to managing kdm, there's no option to get administration rights and alter settings19:53
ugafor example19:53
ugathey used to be there, but they got replaced, given it wasn't the "right way" to do it19:54
_Simethere was a recent discussion about this on kde-core-devel.19:54
ugait's old stuff. The intention was to handle security stuff in a backend19:54
ugarather than gui. But what I can't understand is why a feature gets removed before a solution exists19:55
ugaand then released19:55
ugasigh19:55
* jussio1 cries19:55
ugajussio1: you can run systemsettings as root19:56
ugafor now19:56
ugajussio1: enter konsole, sudo su; export XAUTHORITY=/home/jussio/.Xauthority; systemsettings19:57
ugaand you can alter settings19:57
fdovinguga: removing stuff one doesn't want to keep early in the development cycle is smart. that way one can't just say "good enough for this release" etc.20:03
ugafdoving: but then removing very necessary stuff and releasing is... not that smart20:04
ugait's a good reason not to release. A showstopper20:04
fdovingpfft.20:04
fdovinglook at releases as development milestones.20:04
ugafdoving: would you let your mum touch kde4 in the current status?20:04
ugaI only suggest it to my worse enemies20:04
fdovinga release isn't a release in the commercial-release way.20:05
ugaheh, you have a different pov from mine, it seems20:05
fdovinguga: sure, mom, dad and my brother use kde4 in kubuntu for daily computer stuff.20:05
fdovinghave been for quite some time.20:05
ugawhen I first released an app, it was named pre-alpha, and was rather rock solid, 0.1-pre-alpha20:05
ugaI was ashamed to release anything that wouldn't work20:06
ugafdoving: they don't administer their boxes then20:06
ugaor your mom is a brilliant geek ;)20:06
fdovingwhat is there to administer?20:06
ugaanything that doesn't work out of the box20:07
fdovingthey already have user accounts, printer is working, has been since dapper, network just works, what is there to administer? - once the computer is working there is rarely any need to administer anything.20:07
ugawell, then remove systemsettings from the release =)20:08
ugawhat's the point on keeping it ;)20:08
cheguevara_lol20:08
fdovingmy point is that you can't delay a release with a bunch of nice features just because 1 or 2 didn't finish in time for the release.20:08
fdovingin a software company, of course you can.20:09
fdovingyou can force people to work on specific parts of the project too.20:09
fdovingbut you can't do that in our world. atleast very limited.20:09
ugapersonally I wouldn't have removed the original methods. it wasn't that bad20:10
ugasecurity was handled in the gui part, but it's been done that way for many releases anyway20:10
Artemis_Fowlseele: ping?20:10
fdovingabout time it's thrown out :)20:10
ugafdoving: I see more of a problem with timed sudos that are default in *buntu20:11
ugaI had to manually disable that20:11
fdovingthe 5min timeout?20:11
fdovingyep.20:11
ugayes20:11
fdovingit's only for that particular tty, so i don't really see the problem.20:11
fdovingbut i understand what you mean.20:11
ugafdoving: tty heh,... the desktop, you mean? =)20:12
ugayou enter password once and you are root forever20:12
fdovingi mean you can't open a konsole then enter sudo and get a root-shell without entering a password even if you did run kdesudo <something> 2 min before.20:12
ugaopen for any gui application that wants to hack your box20:12
ugafdoving: iirc that used to work20:13
ugaor at least worked through kdesudo20:13
ugaon the same desktop, I mean, not on a different tty20:13
fdovingyep, but you can't use ptys either.20:14
fdovingyou will however be able to run kdesudo 'app' twice.20:14
fdovingso yeah, it should probably always popup a confirmation dialog even if the password is remembered.20:15
fdovingkdesudo that is.20:15
ugayes, I agree on that20:15
fdovingmy opinion is that kdesudo is utter crap anyway.20:15
ugaa popup might be nice20:15
ugajust a warning20:15
uga"app foo is trying to become root"20:15
fdovingmaybe it should provide a tray-icon that sits there until the timeout is finished or something.20:16
fdovingand provide a way to 'forget-password' with a rightclick-menu.20:16
ugauhm, intersting concept20:16
ugabtw, is there a good way to recover the "don't ask me again" options easily?20:17
fdovingdepends on the app i guess.20:17
ugasometimes I feel like I shouldn't have checked one of those, but then going through the kderc files is rather tough20:18
ugaI was wondering if there were plans for a centralised thing for those20:18
fdovingnot that i'm aware of, but i'm not up2date on mailinglists and future plans.20:19
jussio1uga, had to step out for a bit, but thankyou :)20:19
jussio1uga: that just gives me a root terminal. ?20:20
ugajussio1: if you run systemsettings from there, you'll have root privileges on the app20:21
ugamake sure you did the XAUTHORITY thing, else systemsettings app won't be able to access the display20:21
ugaoh, I see... don't follow the line exactly20:22
jussio1hehe20:22
ugatype every command separated by ";" manually, one by one20:22
* jussio1 feels silly20:22
ugait was my fault. I didn't notice that after sudo su, the rest of commands wouldnt' have been executed until you exited root account20:23
jussio1argh20:25
