* apachelogger_ gives nixternal a cookie00:00
nixternalif you guys quit asking me to do things I might be able to do some more dev related work :p00:00
Tonio_apachelogger_: what about browser proxy settings etc ??? :) no way as long as the settings are not stored the same way.... but we discuss this later00:00
apachelogger_nixternal: lol00:00
nixternalmy school work is even backed up...so Riddell don't be surprised if you get an email interview from me :)00:01
apachelogger_yuriy: anything you can think of which is critical to hardy?00:01
nixternalI need to go eat, so I will catch up in a bit..thanks!00:01
yuriyso no currently known bugs that need to / _are allowed to be_ fixed before the release?00:01
* apachelogger_ wants to note that now that xinelibs is patched with a new pulseaudio plugin amarok works again in gnome!00:01
yuriyapachelogger_: i don't know of anything critical00:02
Riddellhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.04 has ...00:02
Riddell"(high)   209220  HP DeskJet 5550 not supported in Hardy"  fix is in queue00:02
awen_when yuriy says that hardy will indead rock :)00:03
Riddell"210443  file overwrite error in hardy" fix also in queue00:03
Riddell"218393  [kde4] /sbin not included in ubuntu user's PATH environmental ..." dunno, I should look at that00:03
apachelogger_Oo00:03
awen_Riddell: is there anything kde specific?00:03
RiddellI think that compares favourably to the number of gnome bugs on that milestone list :)00:03
Riddellawen_: just that bug 21839300:04
ubotuLaunchpad bug 218393 in kdebase-workspace "[kde4] /sbin not included in ubuntu user's PATH environmental variable" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21839300:04
apachelogger_new comment there00:04
yuriyRiddell: actually i wanted to discuss that at some point since i think it's more of a problem of us not marking milestones than not having any release critical bugs00:04
Riddelloh, also "217669  Kubuntu's Printing system I am unable to hit apply on server s" which I've fixed too00:04
apachelogger_"Logging out of the KDE4 desktop session and logging back in somehow add '/sbin' to $PATH."00:04
awen_Riddell: the same bug that prevents running sudo systemconfig ?00:04
nosrednaekimawen_: very different00:04
awen_should that one be fixed too?00:05
Riddellyuriy: that's true, although I'd rather milestoned ones had a good chance of being fixed00:05
nosrednaekimawen_: I think they are currently fixing that upstream'00:05
yuriydunno what that bug is about but redhat doesn't put /sbin in the path at all so it doesn't sound like much of a bug to me00:05
apachelogger_Riddell: if Brian used a livecd this is rather a livecd bug than one in KDE 400:05
apachelogger_we really only attach /usr/lib/kde4 to $PATH00:05
apachelogger_so /sbin was missing before KDE 4 got invoked00:06
Riddellawen_: I don't know that bug, bug sudo shouldn't generally be used with GUI apps00:06
Riddells/bug/but/00:06
awen_Riddell: no ... but there is no "administrator mode" in kde4 systemsettings, right?00:07
Riddellapachelogger_: yes, it's quite curious00:07
Tonio_Riddell: there is a couple of kdesudo little issues I have to fix this WE just before the release00:07
Riddellawen_: right, that's an upstream issue00:07
apachelogger_they are working on it00:07
Tonio_Riddell: especially 20846100:07
Tonio_bug 20846100:07
ubotuLaunchpad bug 208461 in kdesudo "[Hardy] kdesu doesn't work via ssh" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20846100:07
apachelogger_awen_: sudo/kdesu/kdesudo is not working because it doesn't honor the user $PATH00:07
apachelogger_Tonio_ is on that IIRC00:08
awen_apachelogger_: is someone looking into this?00:08
RiddellTonio_: milestoned00:08
Tonio_apachelogger_: sudo does honor the user $PATH, but not kdesudo or gksudo00:08
Riddell"honour"00:08
apachelogger_s/honor/honour00:08
yuriywho has permissions to mark milestones? just Riddell?00:09
apachelogger_Tonio_: why is it failing with sudo as well then? Oo00:09
Riddellyuriy: anyone who can edit bugs I think00:09
Tonio_apachelogger_: no idea :)00:09
awen_what about putting an "start systemconfig as root" (different name of course) into the menu?00:09
Tonio_apachelogger_: I have to look at that00:09
nosrednaekimRiddell: the first time you were right ;)00:09
Tonio_Riddell: I also milestoned bug 20444000:09
ubotuLaunchpad bug 204440 in kdesudo "[hardy]: kdesudo as non-root user works only once" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20444000:09
Tonio_apachelogger_: concerning bug 209831, I have to look more closely, but it looks like this is on gutsy, and fixed in hardy for a while :)00:10
ubotuLaunchpad bug 209831 in kdesudo "Unable to pass parameters with spaces in" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20983100:10
apachelogger_awen_: maybe we can backport form KDE 4.1, considering that already got an start as admin feature00:10
apachelogger_anyone with KDE trunk around?00:10
awen_apachelogger_: if that is indeed possible, could be good ... but if not, i think the menu item as a temporary solution would be good00:11
Riddellthere was a patch to 4.1 for the clock module to run a script as root00:11
apachelogger_awen_: I am not sure it is easy to implement00:11
Riddellthe same needs to be done to the other modules that need root00:12
apachelogger_i.e. whether it is possible to find out which module is running right now00:12
Riddellbut, upstream issue00:12
awen_Riddell: what other modules do we have?00:12
apachelogger_kdm00:12
apachelogger_well00:12
* apachelogger_ stops being lazy and gets his laptop00:12
Riddellopen week00:13
etretyakapachelogger_: what's wrong with kdm?00:13
Riddellwe have a couple of talks due, thanks to nixternal https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Prep00:13
Riddellanyone else want to do a Kubuntu or KDE related talk?00:13
apachelogger_"how to break KDE 4 and KDE 3 without reason"00:13
yuriya potential important installer bug: bug 21777000:14
ubotuLaunchpad bug 217770 in ubiquity "Kubuntu-KDE4 Hardy Beta LiveCD install crashes session" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21777000:14
Tonio_Riddell: I have very limited time at the moment, so no for me..... hopefully it'll be better in the next weeks00:14
Riddellyuriy: I expect that's fixed, a few i18n bugs have been, but I'll test it tomorrow during my RC tests00:15
* apachelogger_ can't think of any possible topic for openweek tbh00:16
Riddellany other business?00:16
apachelogger_what to do with eagles?00:16
jcastroI still have open slots for openweek if anyone wants to do more Kubuntu sessions!00:17
Riddelljcastro: try and convince apachelogger_ to do one :)00:17
apachelogger_I just need a topic ;-)00:17
jcastrohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Prep00:17
Riddellapachelogger_: mm, yes, a keen chap but needs more hand holding than is healthy00:17
awen_apachelogger_: eagles?00:17
apachelogger_awen_: eaglessomenumbers nick in -devel00:18
jcastroapachelogger_: let me think00:18
apachelogger_Riddell: I talked to Hobbsee today, she would like to ban him00:18
jcastrois porting from Qt3->4 still an interesting topic?00:18
awen_apachelogger_: okay00:18
apachelogger_jcastro: not really00:18
awen_apachelogger_: hasn't he only been around for a short while?00:19
apachelogger_Riddell: do you think he distrubed development since he joined?00:19
apachelogger_awen_: yeah00:19
apachelogger_still00:19
apachelogger_I spent about 6 hours working with him on a 5 minutes fix for 2 packages00:19
JucatoI believe he has caused some ruckus in #ubuntu-devel before00:19
apachelogger_yeah, he is banned there already00:19
Jucatos/believe/heard/00:19
apachelogger_I suggested instead of banning to ask him to leave until he got himself the appropriate knowledge to start contribution00:20
apachelogger_because, from what I noticed...00:21
apachelogger_he asked a lot of questions, mostly quite easy to find out using wiki.ubuntu.com00:21
apachelogger_and everyone someone else answered00:21
apachelogger_*everytime00:22
yuriyhmm bug 218431 also seems important-ish00:22
ubotuLaunchpad bug 218431 in ubuntu "KDE4 country selector doesn't offer a list countrys to select from" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21843100:22
awen_apachelogger_: ... and doing it in a nice way; suggest other ways to help out00:22
apachelogger_awen_: tbh there is nothing I think he would be qualified for right now00:22
apachelogger_maybe testing would be a possability, but I expect it's quite some work to gather necessary informations about an issue from him :(00:23
awen_apachelogger_: i was also thinking non-developer stuff ... like translating or other things00:23
yuriyanybody know how old he is? is english native to him?00:24
Riddellhis English is.. not good00:24
Riddellhe's from the US00:24
apachelogger_lol00:24
apachelogger_that sentence combination ... :P00:25
awen_yuriy: his probably from year 87 (based on his name)00:25
JontheEchidnaHe's... older than me if that's to be believed ;_;00:25
Riddelltesting ISOs, surely he can manage that00:25
apachelogger_Riddell: I am not concerned about the testing, but about the value of information he can provide right now ... maybe that just needs trainging though00:26
apachelogger_he reported 1 or 2 bug reports recently00:26
apachelogger_made me wonder a lot what to ask first ;-)00:26
* apachelogger_ should use commas00:27
Riddelllet's try poking him towards ISO testing, that genuinely is where we need help in the next 10 days00:27
awen_yuriy: that one actually looks quite important ... do we know if it is a problem for all languages or german only?00:28
Riddelland if he can't manage that in a useful way then there's not much hope00:28
yuriyawen_: well for one, i can confirm it. i don't think it's related to the language00:28
apachelogger_Riddell: ok00:28
apachelogger_will talk to him tomorrow00:28
awen_yuriy: that sounds like one that is pretty important then00:29
apachelogger_oh00:30
apachelogger_yuriy: about bug 218431 - I think that is a dependency issue00:30
ubotuLaunchpad bug 218431 in kdebase-workspace "KDE4 country selector doesn't offer a list countrys to select from" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21843100:30
apachelogger_I stumbled upon that issue in 4.0.0 and forgot to fix it apparently00:30
awen_apachelogger_: sounds like you are on it then :)00:30
awen_s/:)/;)00:31
apachelogger_yeah, just assigned :D00:31
apachelogger_Riddell: I think we are done with the meeting00:31

MacSlowGreetings!14:02
Keybukok, great14:02
Keybukhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2008-04-1714:03
KeybukI didn't see any agenda items in activity reports, so before we begin, does anyone have anything to add?14:03
Keybukalso nothing new on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/ReportingPage this week?14:03
MacSlownope14:03
pittinothing interesting beyond 'works better than last week'14:04
Keybukok, should be a quick meeting then :-)14:05
Keybukhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~dholbach/sponsoring/14:05
Keybukhas one new item, bug #6345014:05
ubotuLaunchpad bug 63450 in acpid "acpid install fails (because of hal running)" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/6345014:05
Keybukat a glance, that looks like something where the patch wasn't good, so should be removed from the sponsoring team?14:06
pittimvo and I are currently actively discussing this in #u-devel and the bug14:06
mvoKeybuk: its a nasty one unfortunately14:06
pittiit's not at all clear what the problem is, or how to solve it properly14:06
mvowell, the problem is that if you have hal installed and not acpid and then install acpid it will fail14:06
mvobecause /proc/acpi/event is already claimed by hald14:07
pittiso, the patch with restarting hal didn't work?14:07
mvoit does, but not in the general case, I have a test-case when during upgrade hal is unapcked but not configured yet14:07
mvothen acpid tries to restart it and hal hangs (no idea why exactly but it does)14:08
pittimvo: add a check for /var/run/hald/hald.pid to the snippet?14:08
mvoif I change the ordering (by adding a pre-depends on hal into acpid) it works apparently14:08
Keybukok, sounds like a nasty one :)14:08
Keybuklooks like you have it in hand though14:08
Keybuknothing new in http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/qa-hardy-list-archive/sort-by-package/desktop-buglist.html today14:08
mvopitti: yeah, sjoerd suggested this too, I try that next14:08
pedro_nop nothing new14:09
Keybukcouple of items from me:14:09
Keybuk- Performance Reviews are imminent, and some of you may have already received some of the mails for it14:09
pittiI got the announcement, but no personal ones with the URLs14:09
pitti(and I did check my spam filter :) )14:09
Riddellthere isn't one, you just go to the URL and register and it'll send you another URL14:10
Keybuk- I won't worry about regular catch up calls again next week, to give you the maximum time for release work14:10
Keybukbut if you do want to chat, please don't hesistate to grab me14:10
Keybukotherwise if there's no other business, I'll let you all get back to work?14:12
pittiCD testing seems reasonable so far, FWIW \o/14:13
seb128Keybuk: make sure we message that corporate users etc should wait for 8.04.1 if they want something rocking stable14:13
seb128there is no world is breaking issues but lot of annoying things still14:14
pittithey won't upgrade to hardy tomorrow anyway, I figure14:14
pittinot if you stayed on dapper on the desktop for that long14:14
pittibut it's important to have the .1 plan/announcement in the release notes, indeed14:14
* mpt drops a pin14:19
pittimpt: I heared that!14:20
* MacSlow saw it14:20
Keybukokok, adjourned ;)14:20
