wolfgerquestion: Is "centered maxpect" scheduled for re-inclusion in KDE with 4.1?00:09
wolfgerI miss that rather strongly00:09
DaSkReechstdin: ping01:59
nixternalyay, power is back on!02:16
DaSkReechHa ha I just saw you login too. I was going to bother you but ...02:17
DaSkReechsnow storm?02:18
nixternalwho knows what happened...it seems one of the power transformers blew up down the street02:34
DaSkReechoh you heard it?02:34
* ScottK cautions nixternal about Chicago and fires.02:35
DaSkReech:-D02:36
DaSkReechgreat debian doesn't seem o have any .71 packages :-(02:38
nixternalDaSkReech: nah, didn't hear it, I don't think...I heard popping but I can't be certain it was the transformer02:47
nixternalDaSkReech: debian has .71 packages, I have been watching the Debian Installer notices02:48
nixternalbut those won't do you any good as their structure would destroy us02:48
DaSkReechheh/me blins02:49
* DaSkReech blinks too02:49
DaSkReechwhat do you mean?02:49
nixternalit would overwrite our KDE 3 packages02:49
DaSkReechwell can't we patch that out02:50
nixternalkdebase-workspace_4.0.72-1_multi.changes uploaded successfully to localhost02:50
nixternalalong with the files:02:50
nixternalDaSkReech: use our packages that are already there02:51
nixternalif you went the debian route, you would have to change cdbs/*, control, *.post*, *.pre*, and *.install02:51
DaSkReechok02:52
DaSkReechpackages.ubuntu.com it is then02:52
nixternalI am trying to find a nice messenger bag...anyone have any recommendations?02:52
nixternalI know about Tom Bihn and Chrome bags already02:52
DaSkReechMy friend was doing deep investigation of those the other day02:53
nixternalI would use the Ubuntu Ogio bag, but they don't sell it anymore, and plus for me to buy it, I would have to refinance my house since they rip you off for US purchases02:53
ScottKnixternal: We need to switch and base off of Debian for Intrepid at some point.02:53
DaSkReechWell p.u.c has intrepid up already :)02:54
nixternalScottK: of course for Intrepid02:54
nixternalbut for Hardy, no way jose02:55
ScottKAgreed.02:55
nixternalDaSkReech: if you did Debian packages, you couldn't never show your face out in public again...people would hunt you for blood! :)02:55
nixternalcouldn't never?02:55
nixternalwow do I sound like an idiot from Chicago02:55
nixternaloh wait, I am...sorry02:56
* DaSkReech thinks there may be a reason for that02:56
DaSkReechI could be wrong though02:56
DaSkReechOk is there a ubuntu.com/pool ?02:58

DarkMageZany kde 4.1 alpha 1 repositories yet? ^-^09:57
Riddellno, I'm waiting for intrepid to open09:58
DarkMageZthen i can just backport everything i need to hardy. cool. (yes, i know that includes QT4 & the breakage it could theoretically cause)10:09
Riddellbackports we'll need to think about, intrepid will use /usr, hardy backports should probably use /usr/lib/kde410:10
Riddellbut not necessarily, they could just come with a very large warning10:11
DarkMageZlocal backport, not official backport :P10:16
seaLnehmm even though there is now kdebase 7.1 kmplayer-konq-plugins konq-plugins konqueror konqueror-nsplugins kubuntu-desktop still want removed due to the kded loop package weird10:37
Riddelllet met try10:39
Riddellworks for me10:40
RiddellThe following packages will be upgraded: kcontrol kdebase-bin kdebase-kio-plugins kdesktop kdm kfind konqueror10:40
seaLnedist-upgrade won't run and apt-get -f install wants to remove the above10:40
Riddellapt-cache policy konqueror  does that know about 7.1 ?10:40
seaLneah still showing 7, i'd noticed 7.1 in -changes maybe not there yet?10:41
seaLnehmm that was yesterday morning tho10:41
Riddellsure you have -propsed enabled in sources.list?10:42
RiddellI have   deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed main restricted10:42
Riddellso is on the gb. mirror10:42

Riddellwill be for another week10:44

SiNiESTrOany suggests?17:09
SiNiESTrOmy english is very poor... I hope that you understand me17:10
guaquathey don't disappear for me17:13
guaquathough i do major updates from the command line and edit sources.list by hand17:13
guaquahaving other repos active during update might break stuff17:13
RiddellSiNiESTrO: hmm, that gets done by the dist upgrade tool17:14
SiNiESTrOoh, i'm sorry... I mean that they are disabled17:14
RiddellSiNiESTrO: I'm afraid the person who maintains the dist upgrade tool is on holiday today17:15

* nixternal tries to stay awake during seminar17:16
Riddellooh, nixternal, you're a motu, could you upload a random package to hardy-backports17:17

Riddellnixternal?  stdin?17:42
nixternalRiddell: I will work on it tonight->weekend17:42
nixternalwhere is it getting uploaded to?17:43
nixternalPPA? Kubuntu.org/17:43
Riddell-backports ideally17:43
nixternallovely, so you want the paperwork then :)17:43
Riddellshould be just some accept commands17:44
Riddellthe other problem being low build priority17:44
Riddellbut since nothing is building currently that ought to be ok17:44
jjessemorning17:45
Riddellhi jjesse17:45
jjessehello Riddell17:46
nixternalso we could file the bug report, and as soon as it is approved upload right away to -backports?17:46
nixternalor should we wait until Sunday/Monday for uploading?17:46
nixternalRiddell: would it be possible to get a kde 4 wide ack for -backports instead of filing the necessary bug reports for each uploaded item?17:47
Riddellnixternal: oh don't both with bug reports17:48
Riddelljust upload and I'll let it through at the appropriate time17:48
RiddellScottK won't mind :)17:48
nixternalhehe17:48
nixternalif I have YOUR word, then OK17:48
ScottKExcept it takes a core-dev to upload source to backports pockets.17:49
nixternalwe have a new package with 4.0.4 as well - skanlite17:49
* nixternal is liking the PPA idea right now for Hardy17:50
RiddellScottK: well, this is what I've been trying to work out17:51
RiddellScottK: I'm told that motu should be able to17:51
nixternalditto17:51
ScottKOK.  Maybe it's changed.17:51
nixternalhrmm, with KDE 4 moving to main for Intrepid, something tells me I should start thinking about core-dev17:51
nixternalnah, I will just bug ScottK and Riddell until they hate me!17:52
RiddellScottK: we don't know until we find someone to test it17:52
ScottK... hate me/get upset enough to file piles of bugs against kubuntu-docs17:52
nixternalheh17:52

nixternaloh man, would you really do that?17:53
ScottKCan't hurt for him to try it.17:53

nixternalhahahahaha17:54
ScottKcould/couple in any case.17:54
nixternalyou my friend, just might be a bigger arse than I :)17:54
ScottKNah.  Not possible.17:55
nixternaldidn't think that was possible, but I forgot you live on the east coast :p17:55
ScottK;-)17:55
ScottKI was trying to make the point that they needed a little more care in what they were uploading.17:55
ScottKIt seems to have got their attention.17:55
nixternalScottK and Riddell: if either of you have any pointers for core-dev, fill me in because I am seriously thinking about it due to KDE 4 going into main eventually17:57
nixternalI have a guy in front of me that is a Gtk dev on the Winblows platform, and he is driving me up a wall constantly laughing at stuff17:59

=== never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi
Riddellnixternal: yes, I think core-dev is a very good idea18:03
Riddellnixternal: I presume the process is still to turn up at a tech board meeting and ask18:03
ScottKnixternal: It's pretty much like going for MOTU, but you have to show up at a tech board meeting and answer questions.18:03
ScottKIt seemed pretty benign to me.18:03
Riddellnixternal: to be a core-dev you need to show you want to work on the major areas of the distro, and packaging KDE will be there18:04

gribeluis there a date scheduled for starting Intrepid development? i'm more anxious about KDE 4.1 official snapshots actually but i guess you'll be doing that quite a bit for Intrepid :)20:41
stdinhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule20:43
gribeluah20:44
gribeludidn't catch that20:44
gribelulots of work/time ahead it seems20:44
gribeluare you planning to start building 4.1 after the beta surfaces?20:45
gribeluand the hard feature freeze..20:45
* nixternal grabs 4.0.4 tarballs20:46
stdinplans for exactly when 4.1 will be packaged aren't finalised yet20:46
stdin*packaged for II20:46
nixternalI would say possible on a 4.1 beta... 4.1 alpha is a mess....it crashes quite well20:48
gribeluyeah i noticed20:48
gribeluplasma :/20:48
nixternalthat's because of the huge plasma rewrite20:48
nixternalif you aren't using plasma, then it tends to be fine :p20:48
JontheEchidnaSVN is already re-stabalized, for the most part.20:49
gribelunot too long till the beta though.. everything should be pretty nice after that20:49
nixternalthere is still a bit of plasma`esque issues20:49
nixternalwe are less than 3 months for the 4.1 release now...man that is awesome, it comes out on my birthday...I am going to party hardcore!20:49
gribelu4.0.x is stupid at this point anyway.. mostly worse than the 4.1 head20:49
JontheEchidnaheh20:49
JontheEchidnaWell, I had some bugfixes that I really enjoyed with the 4.0.x releases20:50
nixternalI think thus far, 4.0.0 and 4.0.3 were the worst releases...it was funny, 4.0.2 was damn stable for me20:50
JontheEchidnabut then they had to go and introduce more bugs iwth plasma backports :/20:50
nixternalhoping 4.0.4 brings that back20:50
gribelunixternal: i don't think there's too much work going into 4.0.4 .. the SVN shows that plenty20:51
JontheEchidnaI've not had Plasma crash since 4.0.1, unless it was from a buggy 3rd party plasmoid20:51
JontheEchidnaLike the Amar4k controller on KDE look20:51
gribeluwith more development on 4.1, less can be backported to 4.020:51
gribelulots of stuff changed20:51
seeleall that time to ask a question and he doesn't really even answer it.. oh well20:51
gribeluqt for one20:51
nixternalseele: what question/answer, and which he? :)20:52
seelei asked about how the Desktop Team was planning on working on the "experiences" they keep talking about and how contributors can help20:53
nixternaloh, other chan20:53
* nixternal looks20:53
seelebasically he said come to UDS and attend Desktop Meetings -- which i am already doing..20:53
seeleplus it doesnt really help anyone else not already involved to know how to get involved20:54
seeleit would be nice to figure out how they plan to solve these problems20:54
seeleeverything is either in the dark or they really have no clue yet20:54
nixternalI will choose the latter :)20:54
fdovingRiddell: around? - made a new patch to the eject_error case. bug 222041 - still not tested, i don't have time. sorry. :|21:00

nixternaljjesse: congrats man!21:09
jjessenixternal thanks21:09
seeleyeah, but that was because he is a student, wasn't it?21:09
nixternalI love how you don't tell anyone until a month prior :p21:09
nixternalseele: no idea, but it was fun playing the terrorist card with him :)21:10
jjesseseriously i thought more knew21:10
mhbseele: that sounds almost racist :-)21:10
nixternalhahahahaha21:10
jjessei thought i mentioned it on my blog that i wasn't able to come to UDS because of my wife supposed to be giving b9rth21:10
nixternalmhb: since when is "student" racist?21:10
seelemhb: student's aren't a protected class in the U.S.21:10
nixternalI know plenty of people here in Chicago that would rather be called student then what they are typically called21:10
seelemhb: (housing discrimination is one of the most common discriminations against students)21:10
mhbnixternal: not sure, ask seele :-) it really sounds like "no wonder, he's a student, the lower type of people"21:11
seelenixternal: you mean a bum?21:11
jjesseah just mentioned family reasons21:11
nixternalI noticed that when I decided to go back to school...I was going to move into a condo but they didn't like the "student" status so they denied me21:11
seelemhb: no, they just think you're going to try and come to the U.S. to get a job and not go back21:11
nixternalso I said foo on you and moved in to the closet at the other end of my parents house21:11
nixternalFREE!21:11
nixternalwhich is perfect, cuz I am absolutely broke right now21:11
mhbseele: right, it's my fault21:13
JontheEchidnaanybody got a good python tutorial?21:13
seelemhb: yeah -- why the hell would you want to earn american dollars anyway? :)21:13
mhbwell, thanks for bringing it up21:15
seelemhb: have you been to the U.S. before (recently?) or was that the first time you tried to get a visa while you were a student?21:16
mhbseele: the first time21:18
mhband for the foreseeable future, the last21:18
seelehehe21:18
seelestupid state department21:19
mhbhm21:23
nixternalspeaking of the state department, them, homeland security, and INS just did a sweep of a local commercial area nabbing over 100 "illegal aliens"....I love how they call others "aliens", what morons21:29
mhbnixternal: on the plus side, you could be travelling to Mars this month!21:31
nixternalya, but my rover battery died21:31
mhbhmm, I still don't see what are we going to discuss at UDS :o) I expect it to be like "we would do this if we had 10 active developers, which we all know we haven't got"21:39
jjesseyou mean kde wise?21:40
jjessein boston it seemed like the kde people were myself and Riddell21:40
mhbus as in Kubuntu21:40
jjesseand i don't do any development21:40
seelejjesse: i was there during fosscamp21:40
mhbwell I couldn't be there for reasons well discussed before21:41
jjessenixternal instead of aliens what would you call people who were there and they sholdn't be21:41
seelemhb: i think one of the big agenda topics is figuring out if we are syncing to the kde release schedule and if we are going with 4.121:41
jjesseseele didn't make it in time for fosscamp21:41
nixternaljjesse: trespassers21:42
mhbseele: hmm, I wonder how that would be possible, given that there is only one repository at the moment21:42
seelenixternal: tourists? :)21:42
nixternalor that :)21:42
seelemhb: dunno.. i just know it's on the list :)21:42
nixternalhah, I have always called "tourists", "terrorists", and it recently got me in a bit of trouble at the airport21:42
mhbseele: we can't influence all the command-line tools and all the libraries we rely on21:42
nixternalif we sync to KDE, people will complain, if we don't sync to KDE people will complain, if KDE syncs with us people will complain21:44
mhbKDE4 is boring anyway :-) who needs plasma? who needs Mac OS X widgets? :-)21:44
seelekde isnt' going to sync to us21:44
nixternalif we don't provide kde 3, people will complain, if we don't provide kde 4.1, people will complain21:44
mhbwho needs Konqueror with its stubborn developers? :o)21:44
nixternalso I say at UDS, everyone just complain! prepare for what's going to come with the 8.10 release :p21:44
nixternalmhb: konqi devs are stubborn, khtml devs maybe :)21:44
nixternals/are/aren't21:45
mhbright21:45
nixternalas long as the kde webkit plugin is rockin', that's fine with me21:45
mhbKonqueror is dead anyway, like I said when Dolphin first came out21:45
nixternalthat way there I can use webkit when looking at websites such as....well I don't go to gmail.com, so I don't need it I guess :)21:45
mhbgive me a fast and lightweight KDE browser and I'll trash it anytime :o)21:45
nixternalthe only thing I would ever consider replacing konqi with, is Opera, if and only if they opened it up21:46
nixternalI hate firefox with a passion, and this ff3 beta crap we got in 8.04 is horrid21:46
mhbI'll replace it with anything gladly21:46
seelewhy they shipped a beta product in a release is beyond me21:46
nosrednaekimthatnkfully we can blame that on ubuntu, not us :P21:46
nixternalI have used Konqi pretty much since day 1, I love it and will continue doing so21:46
mhbin fact, I don't use it anymore because of the silly way they display warning messages when changing from/to SSL21:46
mhband you can't hide them like you can in your hated Firefox :o)21:47
nosrednaekimyeah.... firefox3 made me go to Konqueror421:47
nixternalis that the popups people are complaining about mhb?21:47
mhbnixternal: I dunno21:47
nixternalI have been seeing complaints about some security related popups in ff3 or something21:47
mhbnixternal: I know firefox3 is having trouble with SSL, and I know konqueror had these annoying popups too21:47
smarterfirefox3 has some really nice features21:47
nixternalkonqi 4 still has thise problems21:47
nixternaleven in trunk21:47
mhbno wonder21:48
nixternalhttps in konqi 4 == popup hell21:48
mhbno wonder I dislike it with a passion :o)21:48
mhbperhaps this Qt demo browser will turn good21:48
nixternalclick OK, click this session only, pray it doesn't start over and go surfing21:48
nixternalwe played with the qt demo browser today...it is damn close to epiphany actually21:48
nixternalthat's what it reminds me off...very lightweight and fast21:49
fdovingthat's a site-problem, proper https sites with signed certificates works just fine in konq4.21:49
nixternalis that what it is? ya, I don't think any of the *buntu.com site cause the popup21:49
mhbhmm21:49
fdovingif the certificates are selfsigned or broken in any other way the browser complains.21:49
mhbwe do have a saying here21:49
fdovingif it doesn't its broken.21:50
nixternalhey, I just found a shortcut that kills the computer in kde 4, but don't ask me to find it again :p21:50
mhbit says "the wiser one backs down"21:50
nosrednaekimnixternal: does it have something to do with sysreq?21:51
mhbmeaning that two stubborn (and not wise) people will keep on blaming each other, but a smart guy will fix stuff even though it's not his fault21:51
mhbthat's what should be done here21:51
fdovingmhb: so you prefer a broken browser that doesn't tell you when something bad happens? - or do you just want an option to make it not ask again?21:52
mhbI mean you don't say I'm an incompetent fool just because my English is not Standard XEnglish 1.1 Strict, right?21:52
fdovingno, but https is entirely different.21:52
fdovingit relies on trust.21:52
fdovingthat's why they are signed.21:53
fdovingthe idea is to make it secure.21:53
fdovingto some degree.21:53
mhbright, so I could argue that https itself is based on a really weak precondition - that you have to trust a third party21:53
fdovingok, let's redesign the internet.21:54
mhb:o)21:54
mhbOR, make our apps behave like it should, not blaming the Internet, even though we know it's not our fault21:54
mhband make Fascist Mode available for the ultra paranoid among us21:55
mhb(do they still keep the name in the OpenSSH configs?)21:55
fdovingi think konqueror behaves correnctly when it comes to https. I use it to manage my money online-bank-thing. no issues with https. popups appear when it needs to tell me something.21:55
fdovingMiM attacks would be waaay to easy if we just removed that popup.21:56
fdovingeven if people just click continue anyway.21:57
mhbhow many of those have you encountered yet<21:58
mhb?21:58
fdovingusing a secure protocol should atleast be as secure as the protocol can be, not false-secure, like https with selfsigned certs usually is.21:58
mhbI dunno.21:58
mhbI really believe in the "no popups unless user input required" thing21:59
fdovingI haven't encountered any, but it's a fact that they happen every day somewhere on the internet. it's what all those nice spammers out there wants to trick us into to make our machines zombies or spam-senders or whatnot.21:59
fdovingI belive in that too, but this one is among the important ones, not useless at all.22:00
fdovinghaving a hidden option to 'dont-ever-warn-me-of-anything-ever-again' would of course be nice for those who don't care.22:01
smarterif you try to access wiki.kubuntu.com page, it shows a "server not found"-like page, just because the certificate is for kubuntu.org22:01
yuriythere's a kubuntu.com?22:01
smarteryep22:02
yuriyhmm both konq4 and firefox display it without complaining here22:02
fdovingsmarter: that is -exactly- the reason we have certificates in https.22:03
fdovingsmarter: myhackedbank.com is different from myregularbank.com22:03
nixternaltime to head to school...see ya'll later!22:03
fdovingbye nixternal.22:03
fdovingare there browsers out there that supports https but does not complain about these things?22:04
smarteryuriy: http://wiki.kubuntu.com redirects to kubuntu.org, but https://wiki.kubuntu.org don't22:05
yuriysmarter: ah22:06
Riddellfdoving: hmm, with that updated patch i don't see the kio_umountwrapper dialogue at all22:06
mhbany tips on what I should be involved in for Intrepid?22:07
mhbthis release cycle I want to do something fun22:07
fdovingRiddell: hum.22:08
mhbwriting KDE UIs for GTK apps can be boring sometimes22:08
fdovingRiddell: sounds strange. does it unmount?22:09
Riddellfdoving: yep22:09
fdovingRiddell: that sounds weird, kio_umountwrapper is the one invoking the safely-remove so it needs to be executed.22:10
fdovingthe new ::exit(0); is inside ejectFinished() - so i don't understand this.22:11
mhbah yes, again mumbling for myself. good night, folks.22:11
yuriymhb: write a d-bus based opengl accelerated policykit packagekit SVG themable SSL service that does many functions22:11
fdovingnite mhb.22:11
mhbyuriy: right, that's fun :o)22:11
mhbyou read 20 posts about how Kubuntu is inferior to Ubuntu and OpenSUSE and everything and you'd be as grumpy as me :o)22:12
mhbthe KDE frontend for jockey didn't end up in the default install, did it?22:13
fdovingRiddell: can i please have your kio_media_mounthelper binary please? - i don't have things setup to compile qt3-things.22:14
fdovingRiddell: the one with the most recent patch applied.22:14
mhbRiddell: that was a question for you, I guess...22:15
Riddellfdoving: http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/kio_media_mounthelper22:15
mhbyou should know22:15
Riddellmhb: yes, it did22:16
Riddelleven worked for me, once I fixed the bugs in the backend22:16
mhbhmm22:16
mhbI wonder why it was not mentioned anywhere22:16
Riddellprobably not sufficiently different than restricted-manager22:17
mhbokay22:17
yuriyhow is it different and why is there a new program?22:17
fdovingRiddell: where do you safely remove from ?22:18
mhbyuriy: the difference is that I made a Qt4 frontend and I wasn't paid for it! would you believe it22:18
fdovingRiddell: try 'kio_umountwrapper /mount/point' - i suspect it's the .desktop file for the safely remove action that is not updated to use kio_umountwrapper.22:18
mhbyuriy: the real difference is in the backend22:18
mhbyuriy: so unnoticable for the user22:19
mhbyuriy: except that it's gone from systemsettings22:19
mhbnobody bothered to write a link to it22:19
mhbthat's why it stinks22:20
mhbthe kcontrol stuff is so overengineered that it's too hard to create a simple link for systemsettings to another app22:20
mhbbut we all love and adore kde, don't we22:20
mhbso I better shut up.22:21
yuriyhehe, good night mhb22:22
Riddellfdoving: that works, which .desktop file?22:22
* mhb has grumpy moods these days a lot22:22
fdovingRiddell: where are you unmounting from? - dolphin or konqueror or kdesktop?22:23
Riddellfdoving: konqueror22:23
fdovingRiddell: the kio-umountwrapper package tries to divert those .desktop files.22:23
fdovingRiddell: /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop22:24
Riddellfdoving: ooh22:24
Riddelland I just compiled kdebase by hand and installed the original .desktop file over the diverted one22:24
fdovingRiddell: that's what causes it then :) atleast the patch now works :)22:25
fdovingit needs to use Exec=kio_umountwrapper %u22:25
Riddellwell, hang on, let me test with kio-umountwrappre from konqueror22:25
Riddellit works22:25
Riddellgenius22:25
fdovingthe design of that should probably be changed. kio-umountwrapper should instead divert kio_media_mounthelper - and know it's new name to use internally.22:26
fdovingthat way the desktopfiles never needed to change.22:26
smarter_+122:26
fdovingbut, not tonight.22:27
