Riddelloh my ears00:18
seeleyeah.. my head is ringing00:24
ScottK2And it's not because of the volume.00:25
seeleScottK2: nah, i only had one beer tonight00:27
seeleScottK2: if anything, it's from jumping around like a crazy person00:27
apacheloggeruhhh jumpstyle dancing :D00:27
ScottK2I was thinking more about the nature of the sounds than the volume.  They did severe violence to some of my favorite songs.00:27
seelelol00:27
RiddellScottK2: which one?00:29
ScottK2Light My Fire and American Pie are the two that come immediately to mind.00:29
ScottK2Although the latter is long enough that it had got a lot better by the end.00:30

* uga thinks *buntu coding guidelines should suggest using firefox as a base for bad gui examples01:07
yuriyuga: what parts of firefox are that bad that don't already apply to all of gnome?02:42
ugayuriy: check the new download manager04:08
ugayuriy: previously if you wanted to erase the whole list there was a clear list button04:08
uganow you need to select one of the items and right click (if you don't select an item the menu won't popup)04:08
ugaand then clear list04:09
ugawhy hide a function that is so useful and make it hard to reach04:09
ugawhoever did that had "oh! less buttons!" in his brain04:09
ugaappart from that, the settings dialogs are a mess04:11
ugaa real mess04:11
Jucato(less of a mess compared to konqueror though :P)04:12
ugaI don't think so04:12
ugatry find where the proxy configuration goes04:13
ugaprivacy? security? advanced?04:13
ugawhere on earth is the connections option04:13
ugayou need to go to advanced->network->settings04:13
ugaobviously "network settings" is an advanced option in a browser, RIGHT¿?04:14
ugaand cookies expiration time etc, which should be options that nobody ever uses, appear in the main manus04:15
ugamenus04:15
ugaJucato: finding that option in thunderbird is even more fun04:16
Jucatoheh I dare not touch the bird :)04:16
ugaas far as kmail doesn't work fine, I got no other choice04:17
ugakde3 one was pretty annoying for imap04:17
ugaand kde4 one is... well, ... you know =)04:17
Jucatoyeah.. I know04:18
Jucatoalso annoying for gmail imap04:18

Jucatowhoa!!!05:37
Jucatowhy can't we have one of those :(05:37
Jucato(we don't even have a decent night skyline pic...)05:37
nixternalDASKreech: it need to go about 10 more miles west, and you might be able to see it05:37
nixternalthat picture makes chicago look small05:39
DASKreechIt's tiny :)05:39
DASKreechI have to change my res down just to make it fit my screen05:40
nixternalI can see my old apartment though05:40
nixternalthat pic was taken a few miles up of course05:41
nixternalwhere you see all of the skyscapers, that is a few hundred square miles05:41
DASKreechSee that's why we need a KDE webbrowser :)05:42

DASKreechI got this pic from Stumbleupon05:43
DASKreechWE need something with an uber plugin system :-)05:43
nixternalya, I would like to be able to use some of the greasemonkey scripts in Konqueror05:44
nixternalI totally dislike Firefox, and especially dislike Firefox 305:44
nixternalbeta 5 and the new RC both suck hardcore05:44
nixternalto me, Konqi in KDE 4 seems a bit bloated, and definitely broken05:45

JucatoI'm eyeing the session mangler and autostart control module docs...06:08
nixternaljeesh06:08
nixternalfire away homeskillet06:08
Jucatoif you always lounge, I wonder what you do when you're active :)06:08
nixternalI am trying to get a working trunk build...but my desktop keeps locking up and I can't figure out the reason06:09
Jucatosomehow I always get the wrong image of a fish fillet when you say "homeskillet"...06:09
nixternalI am starting to lean towards faulty hardware somewhere06:09
Jucatoone word: "Plasma"06:09
Jucato:D06:09
* Jucato likes to blame the poor critter06:09
nixternalnah, cuz I can make KDE 3 lock up while building stuff06:09
Jucatooh06:09
Jucatonow that's bad06:09
nixternalbut kde 4 locks up a heck of a lot more than kde 3 does06:10
nixternalkde 3 has only locked up a couple of times...kde 4 has locked up every time06:10
nixternalwith and without the fglrx driver06:10
Jucatofglrx..06:13
* Jucato once again sulks at the current state of his hardware...06:13
* DASKreech blames X06:31
DASKreech X sucks06:31
nixternalthat it does06:31
nixternalunless of course you have intel, then it rocks :)06:31
Jucatoindeed.06:32
Jucatobut Intel doesn't make AGP's (discreet graphis cards?)06:32
Jucatoor PCI-E's...06:32
DASKreechpr PCI06:34
nixternalor anything detachable for that matter06:35
Jucatoyeah...06:35
DASKreechI hate the new X though06:35
DASKreechhate hate06:35
* Jucato is stuck with low-end NVIDIA cards... because his mobo doesn't have PCI-E slots...06:35
DASKreechMine either06:35
DASKreechwhy do you need a high end one?06:35
DASKreechthe day you need a high end video card for the desktop is the day you need Vista +106:36
JucatoDASKreech: well not really high-end, but at least non-legacy06:36
Jucatonot true06:36
Jucatoif you were a graphics artist or animator, you'd still need a high-end one06:36
Jucato(which was something I hope I'd become)06:36
DASKreechHmm what kinda graphics?06:37
Jucatoanyway, the real issue is that my card is legacy. and almost all of the fixes that relate to Qt4-NVIDIA bugs are not backported06:37
Jucatocomputer graphics, animation (3D)06:37
DASKreechBlender?06:38
Jucatokinda06:39
JucatoI'm also looking into gaming... the heavy kind...06:39
Jucato(NWN for one)06:39
DASKreech.. professional ?06:51
Jucatohm?06:52
DASKreechAs in like FOSS heavy gaming? or professional dev?06:52
Jucatojust playing for now... I was dreaming of dev years ago..06:54
Jucatonot sure if I'll take that up again anytime soon06:54
DASKreech:-(06:56
Jucatowell, no time really06:56
DASKreechLots of FOSS games need devs06:56
Jucatobut my area of interest mainly revolves around graphics. from graphical user interface to computer graphics to 3D graphics :)06:56
DASKreechThe TUX RPG could use new models06:57
Jucatowho knows... maybe one day...06:57

apacheloggermhb: co playground/libs/webkitkde10:50
apacheloggerbuild it10:50
apacheloggerthen best thing to do is switching it in the file association kcm10:50
apacheloggerfor the mimetype html10:50
apacheloggeror10:50
mhbapachelogger: I've built that10:50
apacheloggerper session in konqueror -> view -> something -> webkitkde10:50
mhbthanks10:51
mhbgot to go, be back in a few10:51
mhbapachelogger: you seem to be a skilled chap11:15
mhbapachelogger: how do you rebuild a part of kdebase without actually having to rebuild the whole kdebase over again?11:15
mhbapachelogger: forget the question11:16
mhbapachelogger: I guess using the old cmake/make should work11:16
apacheloggeryup11:23
mhbturned out it didn't11:23
apacheloggerso you broke something11:23
mhbno. but with those cs/cb scripts you can switch to a build dir and build a particular part.11:23
apacheloggerjust svn up in cs, switch to cb and run cmakekde11:24
mhbif you run cmake . and make afterwards, it won't compile anything - /bin/sh: KDE4_AUTOMOC_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND: not found11:24
apacheloggersounds like a env var issue though11:24
apacheloggermhb: btw, you shouldn't run cmake in the source tree11:25
mhbright11:25
mhbI said it wasn't a good way to build it11:25
apacheloggerhm11:25
apacheloggermhb: so you want to rebuild a specific application within kdebase?11:26
mhbexacylu11:26
mhbexactly11:26
mhbbut I know how to do it right now11:26
mhbso there's nothing to worry about11:26
* apachelogger goes in standby again :P11:27
mhbgrr11:32
mhbapachelogger: I need your help11:33
apacheloggersure11:34
mhbapachelogger: I've built kdebase once11:34
mhbapachelogger: and it worked11:34
mhbnow I've changed some systemsettings code, and I'm trying to rebuild it11:34
mhbso I do "cs kdebase/workspace/systemsettings/" and then cmakekde11:34
apacheloggerwell11:35
mhbfor some freaking reason, it keeps the code cached somewhere!11:35
apacheloggeryeah11:35
apacheloggercmake does11:35
mhbargh11:35
apacheloggeryou will have to run cmakekde in the kdebase dir11:35
mhband wait half an hour for it to build, after every change?11:35
mhbno way11:35
apacheloggermhb: does not11:35
apacheloggeras you said it's caching11:36
apacheloggerultimately you just need to run cmake PATH in kdebase11:36
apacheloggerand make/make install in workspace/systemsettings11:36
mhbyou can't just build systemsettings on your own, without having cmake to check all the other apps?11:37
mhbon every build run11:38
apacheloggermhb: well, you can modify systemsettings' cmake file11:43
mhbwhat?11:43
apacheloggercmakelists.txt11:43
mhbis KDE that developer-unfriendly?11:43
apacheloggerby default it inherts11:43
apacheloggermhb: it's not like you were able to do that with autohell :P11:44
mhbeither that or you don't know the correct way11:44
apacheloggeryou can also run cmake just in workspace11:44
apacheloggermhb: thing is I never had a cache issue11:44
apacheloggerand I mostly do partial builds11:44
mhbcan't you just run some make clean in the build directory so it has to recheck the source files?11:44
mhbbecause I've edited them, and it doesn't care11:44
apacheloggeroh11:45
apacheloggeras a matter of fact you might11:45
mhbeven if I write in a random string of characters, it doesn't care and builds from some cache11:45
apacheloggermhb: cd to the build dir of workspace/systemsettings11:46
apacheloggerthen run rm -rf ./* :P11:46
apacheloggermhb: I suggest googling11:46
* apachelogger has to leave for a administrator meeting11:46
mhbok11:46
apacheloggerwindows server 2003 patching :D11:47

nixternaley?17:25
nixternalyou can't just keep opening up kate?17:25
nosrednaekimyeah....17:25
nixternaljust hit cancel when that window pops up17:25
jjessefrom the application launcher when i click on kate it doesn't open up a new window17:26
nixternalit does here17:26
nixternalit popped up something about a session, but I accidentally hit esc before I could read what it said17:26
nosrednaekimworks here.... what command is the menu item executing?17:27
jjessedon't know what command the launcher in kubuntu is executing17:28
nixternalinteresting...it doesn't work here17:28
nixternalwhen you open up kate from the menu, it only allows one instance17:28

jjessei thought at one time kubuntu shipped with something like kate & or something like that you had to edit?17:29
nosrednaekimi'm running a rather odd system.... kde3 with kdesktop replaced by plasma :P17:29
jjessei can open up another session of kate through the terminal17:30
nosrednaekimah.... confirmed :)17:30
nixternalExec=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/kate --use %U17:30
jjesseif i rememve the --use  then i can open muliptle session if i recall corectly17:31
claydohthe command to run kate 'kate --use %u' keeps  everything in the same window, get rid of the '--use' bit in the menu entry17:31
jjessewhere do i change that?17:31
nosrednaekimjjesse: "/usr/lib/kde4/bin/kmenuedit"17:31
nixternalthe --use should be removed honestly17:31
nosrednaekimdoes the --use work for konqueror?17:31
nixternaljjesse: if you launch kate via krunner, then you are fine17:32
jjessecool thanks for the help17:34
nosrednaekimooh couple months ago remember I was wondering what the @ symbol did in python?17:53
nosrednaekimits called a "function decorator"17:53
nosrednaekimand its used for passing a function, complete with its arguments, through another function17:54
