apacheloggerewww00:00
apacheloggeratomic: almost nothing is00:00
mhbalso I would associate the "security update" icon with a message like "your computer just exploded"... so aggresive00:00
apacheloggeroxygen is like 5x tango00:00
apacheloggersizewise00:00
atomici'm not saying you should consider using them, only brainstorming :D00:00
apacheloggermhb: well, for certain security udates that even applies00:00
mhbright, and we're not saying you're bad, just the icons :P00:00
jtechidna:P00:00
apacheloggerlike that ssh randomization issue :D00:00
yuriymhb: not surprisingly, they look like the apport systray icon00:00
atomicwell i am bad, but that's beside the point :P00:00

Riddellgood evening friends, meeting agenda is at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Meetings00:02
seele:)00:02
* apachelogger puts on the meeting hat00:03
RiddellI see we have a couple of memberships00:03
* seele takes off the beer gnome00:03
Riddellblizzz about?00:03
blizzzhere :)00:03
Riddellblizzz: time for a quick grilling. who are you and why do you want to be a kubuntu member?00:03
blizzzMy name is Arthur Schiwon, i am a 23 year old student from Heidenheim/Germany. I started using Kubuntu 3 years ago and became member of kubuntu-de.org in 2006. This month i was appointed  community carer and am treasurer since several months. Beyond this, my regular tasks are editorial things and support, some promoting as well.00:04
blizzzI want to become a member, because to work in and with the community makes a lot of fun, further all the things around kubuntu and linux are highly interesting not only due to my hobby but also with my job-to-come when my study is finished.00:04
blizzzAlso, i want to give something back, since I was helped to get over the first big obstacle when i started using linux without any knowledge (but windows). And the community touched my rl even deeper since i found my gf in there as well as friends.00:04
Riddellaww :)00:05
apacheloggereww!00:05
apacheloggerI protest00:05
apacheloggerhe prepared00:05
blizzzi did some preperation :D00:05

apacheloggergrilling ain't no fun00:05
seeleaww, open source fairy tales00:05
neversfeldebest instructed00:05
Riddellblizzz: what does a community carer do?00:05
seelehow long until she gave you root?00:05
blizzzRiddell: i am a contact person for people who want to help or join as well as for problem in between our community00:06
blizzzsome kind of advisor and consultant so to say00:06
* yuriy wonders what seele is getting at00:06
jtechidnayuriy: P.G. joke, methinks00:06
yuriyooh you're my graduation year, except older00:06
* seele puts the beer gnome back on00:06
apacheloggerblizzz: you mention on your wiki page that you want to become motu - did you do any packaging yet?00:07
Riddellblizzz: how does the treasuring work?  where is the money kept?00:07
blizzzactually i did not right now, but i have this goal in mind00:07
blizzzRiddell: neversfelde and me have an account at a local bank.00:08
* apachelogger diggs in his logs00:08
blizzzwe report the movements and display at on our website and wiki00:08
seeleblizzz: what do you use the money for?00:08
apacheloggerseele: beer hopefully ;-)00:08
yuriy"Making first steps in KDE programming with python" <- blizzz: have you done anything so far?00:08
neversfeldehttp://www.kubuntu-de.org/spenden00:08
devfilapachelogger: lol00:08
blizzzcurrently only for our materials for boothes (linuxtag and likes)00:08
Riddellblizzz: how did FrOSCon go?00:09
apacheloggerblizzz: do you think it is important for kubuntu to support kubuntu focused LoCos better? or is it just as well to have them as part of an ubuntu LoCo?00:09
blizzzyuriy: yes, see http://www.arthur-schiwon.de/scoreboard for screenshots00:09
apacheloggerthere is a typo in that url :P00:10
blizzzRiddell: very well, there were more than 1200 visitors and we had a lot of interesting people visiting the booth and we gave out a lot of cds00:10
blizzzapachelogger: yes, the c is a k00:10
blizzz;)00:10
Riddellanyone able to advocate blizzz?  Nightrose?00:11
neversfeldeme00:11
neversfeldeblizzz is our alrounder, he is doing support, marketing, managing the german community and further on, he is promoting kubuntu e.g. on Linux Tag and FrOSCon. blizzz is active every day for years now, and we do not want to miss his work in the german speaking community.00:11
Nightrosehaving met and worked with blizzz I give him a solid +100:11
apacheloggerblizzz is a really cool guy00:11
apacheloggerbut I think he needs to sponsor more beer for poor motus :P00:11
Nightrosehehe definitely00:11
blizzzwell, why haven't you been at froscon? there has been lots of beer... ;)00:12
seele+1 it's good to have active community members, especially at conferences00:12
Riddell+1 from me, seems like some great work going on00:12
Riddellyuriy?00:13
Riddellyuriy is asleep, but that's enough votes, welcome to membership blizzz00:13
yuriy+1 from me, support and everything is great, and getting involved in development too00:13
yuriysorry Riddell00:13
blizzzcool, thank you all :)00:14
seelelol Riddell is in a hurry tonight00:14
* jtechidna cheers00:14
yuriycongratulations blizzz00:14
apacheloggerblizzz: congratulations00:14
seelewelcome blizzz00:14
Czessicongrats blizzz00:14
Riddellnemphis: about?00:14
Nightrosewelcome blizzz :)00:14
neversfeldeGlückwunsch blizzz00:14
nemphishi i'm Thomas David aka nemphis. i'm active in the german kubuntu community since 2006.00:14
blizzz*shakes hands* ;)00:14
nemphisi'm in the kubuntu-de.org community council and put a lot of efforts into building our community. beside that i'm maintaining the kubuntu-de.org wiki, the webteam and writing news. i also promoted kubuntu and the community on the froscon 2008 at the booth and with a talk at the kde devroom.00:14
nemphisi want to become a member of kubuntu, because this community and the distribution is just amazing and it makes a lot of fun to work together with the other. like blizz i want to give something back to kubuntu and push it forward to make it rock.00:14
Riddellnemphis: what does the kubuntu-de.org community council do?  and who else is on it?00:15
Nightrosenemphis: any intention to give more talks in the future?00:15
nemphisNightrose: yes of course :)00:15
apacheloggerah right, I didn't get an answer...00:15
apacheloggernemphis: do you think it is important for kubuntu to support kubuntu focused LoCos better? or is it just as well to have them as part of an ubuntu LoCo?00:15
seelenemphis: what is the one thing you would like to improve in kubuntu above all else00:16
nemphisin the council currently are: Czessi, txwikinger, PTS, neversfelde and me00:16
nemphiswere trying to coordinate the helpers00:17
nemphisand we are the contact to the ubuntu community00:17
nemphisseele: i want to see a better integration of the cool features in the kde desktop.00:18
nemphisthe ubuntu desktop seems to have some features earlier.00:18
Riddellany testimonials from anyone?00:19
neversfeldenemphis is our webteam, he looks after the german speaking, forum and wiki with less help since we moved to our own server. Without him, we had to close the forum years ago. Alongside, he writes news and is always ready to be the editor for other authors. Support is matter of course.00:19
blizzznemphis is a very cool person and one of our tech guys. He makes our services (like wiki and forum) go round. As one of our kubuntu-de.org CC members he has a high reputation and is a vital and important part of our community. If i am worth becoming member, he is even more.00:19
Nightrosehe did good work at the booth at froscon and gave a talk with Czessi that was well received00:19
nemphisapachelogger: i think kubuntu focused locos are important to give the users better support and promote kubuntu00:19
Nightrose+1 from me00:19
Nightrose(hoping he will give more talks in the future)00:20
seele+1 for webadmins.  can't live without them!00:20
Riddell+1 here too00:20
yuriy+1 for keeping a core part of the community up and running and other contributions00:20
Riddellgreat, welcome in nemphis00:20

Riddellonto the agenda00:21
Czessicongrats nemphis00:21
RiddellWhat needs done before Feature Freeze?00:21
jtechidnaEVERYTHING00:22
claydohwelcome nemphis blizzz00:22
jtechidnaactually, pretty much everything I set out to do has been done00:22
apacheloggerjtechidna: EVERYTHING is no answer!00:22
jtechidna:P00:22
RiddellI've got dist upgrade mostly working, will upload tomorrow morning00:22
jtechidnacoolness00:22
yuriyuserconfig... jtechidna?00:22
seelewhat's the status on adept 3?  it looks like there is still functionality missing00:23
jtechidnaOh right, userconfig...00:23
apacheloggermornfall: ^00:23
yuriyseele: what in particular?00:23
RiddellI'd like to patch it to launch software-properties00:23
seeleyuriy: let me switch over to intrepid but whatever updates as of today were missing stuff.. brb00:24
jtechidnaI don't know if userconfig can be finished in time...00:24
apacheloggerRiddell: is software-properties actually ported to Qt 4?00:24
yuriyRiddell: would be really nice if libpythonize worked and we could integrate software-properties right in00:24
Riddellapachelogger: was never anything else00:24
apacheloggerah, cool00:24
apacheloggerjtechidna: maybe cut some features for now00:25
yuriyjtechidna: can you send me an email of what still needed to get done? I think you pointed out some things earlier, but I don't remember00:25
seeleyuriy: editing sources, and the category navigation to find packages is really confusing00:25
yuriyseele: the tags?00:25
seeleyeah00:25
devfilRiddell: have you seen http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12574/ ?00:25
apacheloggerjtechidna: we need something to replace kuser00:25
apacheloggerthat said, kuser needs to be removed00:25
jtechidnaok, so userconfig00:25
apacheloggerit is dangerous00:25
yuriyRiddell: I think userconfig can get done in the next couple weeks, but not before FF00:25
jtechidnait's mostly worky00:26
Riddelldevfil: that's not really possible00:26
jtechidnaI spent last weekend transitioning it over to .ui files00:26
devfilRiddell: I know, as we use .kde instead of .kde400:26
jtechidnabut I still need to make/intregrate the ui files for modifying/adding groups00:26
seeledevfil: 4.2 doesnt come out until january 200900:26
jtechidnaand delete users and delete groups dialogs00:27
seele3.5.10 will be available via backports, no?00:27
seelejtechidna: use a .ui file please!00:27
devfilseele: 3.5.10 is already in intrepid00:27
yuriyseele: via updates even for hardy. ScottK-laptop is trying to get it in00:27
jtechidnaIf we had a week or two more we could probably get userconfig in a usable state00:27
apacheloggerdevfil: backports00:27
apacheloggerthere is no 3.5 in intrepid00:27
yuriyjtechidna: so we'll probably just need to write up an FFe at that point00:27
apacheloggerwell, excet for kdelibs and some selected base distributions00:27
Riddellyuriy, jtechidna: ask for a FF exception when it's ready then, just make sure it gets lots of testing first00:27
Riddelllots of bugs to fix, network manager seems to be being trickt00:28
yuriykdebuetooth4 "WIP" done?00:28
Riddelland being able to install qt would be nice00:28
Riddellyuriy: it's packaged and in00:29
jtechidnaJockey is done, but not integrated with systemsettings like todo says00:29
yuriycommand line installer?00:29
seeledid anyone work on the system settings menu?00:29
Riddellyuriy: install-package is in00:29
Riddellseele: nope00:29
yuriyubiquity?00:29
* yuriy is just going down the list00:29
Riddellyuriy: apachelogger did some fixes, but I don't think it's pykde yet00:30
apacheloggerno, just fixed the icons00:30
jtechidnawhich is a shame because it runs as root and will use plastique00:30
NightroseRiddell: do you want me to close that brainstorm idea?00:30
NightroseI can do it if wanted00:30
RiddellNightrose: sure, with a polite explanation00:30
Nightroseok00:30
yuriyjtechidna, Riddell: maybe we can change default qt style to oxygen?00:30
Nightrosewill do after the meeting00:31
* jtechidna doesn't know how to change that00:34
Riddellyuriy: yes that would make sense so long as it didn't break qt apps running under gnome where oxygen isn't installed00:34
Riddelljtechidna: it's fiddly00:34
Riddellshall we include kgrubeditor?00:36
claydohhow solid is it?00:36
RiddellI'm all for it since using the live CD as a rescue disk is still an important use case in my opinion00:36
seeleit hasn't been widely tested00:36
claydohwill new users muck things up if they make an error?00:36
jtechidnaI used it to install some bootgraphics00:36
seeleif we can get people to test it, konstantinos is very active and will fix anything that comes up00:36
claydoh./me hasn't tried it00:36
jtechidnaseemed to work without frying grub00:36
* apachelogger thinks we should get it in00:36
apacheloggerget some testing00:36
devfilRiddell: it seems to be really good00:37
seele+1 for going in, but it really needs some QA00:37
apacheloggerI only noticed one issue which was kgrubeditor dying when kubuntu-grub-splash* is installed00:37
Riddellok, let's get it in toot sweet and ask for testing00:37
claydoh+1 then00:37
ScottKWould someone who's good with backtraces please look at Bug 261694 and give me suggestions.  I think there are two good ones in there now.00:37
ubottuLaunchpad bug 261694 in kicker-taskbar-compiz "kicker crashes after upgrading to KDE 3.5.10" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26169400:37
Riddellahem, meeting :)00:37
RiddellChange icon/label default in some applications to [icon] Label?00:38
Riddellseele?00:38
seelehttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidDefaults?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=icon%2Blabel_layout_samples_1024x768.pdf00:38
seelethe doc has screenshots of default size with current default and then icon + label00:39
seelei think there were two apps that didn't fit all in, one was ktorrent, and the other was an app of no consequence00:39
seeleall the apps show default icons at 1024x768 though, there is only hidden icons when they are not full size in some apps00:39
seelethis was a suggestion made by nuno in oxygen, he thinks [icon] Label looks better, and i agree00:39
yuriyI think icons only in konqueror and any app where the toolbar is pretty much full, and text below icons where the toolbar is more sparse00:40
yuriylike dolphin and okular00:40
seelean option would be for very full apps to do icons only.  right now we have apps with icons only, icons + label, and icons / label00:40
seeleso this would provide some consistency00:40
atomicktorrent's toolbar needs a sane set of default icons anyhow, it still looks rough compared to other kde 4.x-ified apps00:40
seelethere is a bug in konqueror that resizes the location bar if you set the icon + label, but it is fixed in trunk00:41
echidnamanbleh, internets died00:41
Riddellseele: is there a rationale other than it looks better? (or even a rationale why it would look better?)00:41
=== echidnaman is now known as JontheEchidna
seeleRiddell: in some applications you gain ~10 pixels in vertical space00:41
seelewhich is good for people on laptops running wide-screen laptops because the average res is 1280x76800:42
seele10px could give you an extra line of text00:42
seelei think it is also easier to read the labels00:42
claydohI could go with  either, myself, I use 1024x76800:42
seelethey are more consistently spaced, where icons / labels give you varying space between the labels00:42
claydohbut I agree on it being easier to read00:43
apacheloggercertainly looks easier on the eye00:43
seelenuno is going to push it to happen upstream, so it's likely it will happen anyway00:43
seeleit's just if we want to do it before 4.2 comes out or not00:43
yuriyI think text below looks better and is easier to read. somehow makes the text feel more associated with the icon00:43
apacheloggerhm00:44
apacheloggerI must say for a chinese text below probably looks better00:44
Riddellapachelogger: why are you using chinese?00:45
* apachelogger is all crazy about asian languages these days00:45
seeleoh, speaking of translations, nuno tested spanish and german and said most everything fit as well (forgot to check it myself though)00:45
apacheloggeranyway, I have the theory that text next to the icon looks good for people who are used to read that way00:45
seelespanish and german tend to be about 30% longer.  most of the apps fit in <1024 fine, so at full screen german and spanish will still fit00:45
apacheloggerto-down readers will find it less awesome though00:46
RiddellI suspect umbrello won't fit, but it doesn't with text under anyway00:46
apacheloggerseele: french should be considered there as well00:46
seeleapachelogger: unless french is longer than spanish or german, it doesnt matter because it will fit00:46
seeleafaik spanish and german are the longer of western languages00:46
apacheloggerfrench tends to be longer sometimes00:46
atomictried finnish?00:47
claydohkmail is crowded if there are spam filter icons from the spam wizard00:47
apacheloggerfinnish is also a killer sometimes00:47
apacheloggeranyway00:47
apacheloggerif we want to do that00:47
apacheloggerwe should do it very very soon and get tons of feedback00:47
RiddellI agree00:47
Riddelllet's turn it on for the next alpha and see if people prefer it00:47
JontheEchidnaI'd probably go back to text under icons, but it's not that big of a deal for me00:48
apacheloggerACK00:48
JontheEchidnacan I switch the topic back to the todo list quickly?00:49
RiddellJontheEchidna: ok00:49
JontheEchidnaThe kcm randr item00:49
JontheEchidna"make sure it works"00:49
JontheEchidnawhat exactly does that mean?00:49
JontheEchidnaI know in 4.0.x it crashed kwin every time you tried to use it00:50
JontheEchidnaand it tried to change the screen resolution too00:50
JontheEchidnabut in 4.1 it doesn't do any of that00:50
RiddellJontheEchidna: sounds like it works then :)00:50
JontheEchidnathere are a few ui quirks but it does work00:50
Riddellwell, it should still change the screen resolution00:50
JontheEchidnaI mean, when you loaded the kcm module it'd try to change the screen res on ya00:51
Riddellhah, nasty00:51
JontheEchidnayeah, it's all good now00:51
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: please harvest launchpad for bugs regarding that kcm00:51
JontheEchidnaexcept for some ui quirks00:51
apacheloggermaybe it still causes some issues on certain graphic setups00:51
Riddellwe should ask what's happening with bullet proof X00:51
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: I did that when 4.1 was released actually00:51
JontheEchidnaI'll mark the item done on the todo list00:52
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: ok, then go ahead and update the status of that item00:52
RiddellHardy upgrade, to prompt or not to prompt?00:52
RiddellI believe that ubuntu won't prompt for upgrade when intrepid is released, as is usual with LTS00:52
seelehow much space does installing 4.1 on top of 3.5 hardy take up?00:53
apacheloggerseele: it will replace most of it anyway00:53
seeleapachelogger: it will uninstall 3.5 apps?00:53
JontheEchidnaI wouldn't either. People who would be interested in the stuff intrepid offers would most likely know about Intrepid already00:53
JontheEchidnaand would update themselves00:53
apacheloggerthere is no 3.5 in intrepid00:53
Riddellit'll upgrade them to 4.1 apps for the most part00:53
Nightroseif ubuntu doesn't prompt we shouldn't either imho - especially with the switch to kde 400:53
apacheloggerwell00:54
apacheloggerwe are leaking an LTS00:54
claydohbut what about any leftovers from 3.5? would that cause any problems00:54
apacheloggerwhich leads to the question can we become LTS while ubuntu is not?00:54
apacheloggers/become/get00:54
claydohor would they be broken?00:54
seelei agree with Nightrose, switching from 3.5 to 4.1 is more than upgrading software00:54
Riddellright, ubuntu will have hardy to next LTS upgrade, which we won't00:54
seeleclaydoh: kde3 apps run in kde4 so it will be fine.  we have some 3.5 apps in intrepid atm00:55
seeleamarok and a few other things00:55
JontheEchidnaKonversation^00:55
apacheloggerwell00:55
apacheloggerno prompt00:55
apacheloggerbecause, not all apps are ported00:55
apacheloggerand thos which are, are not in 100% perfect shape00:55
coreymon77konversations getting there00:55
coreymon77they are working on it00:55
* JontheEchidna is glad on that00:55
apacheloggerbut, I think we should talk to the technical board about getting LTS for 9.04 and then prompt for upgrade00:55
yuriywhere are we?00:56
* yuriy was afk for a bit00:56
coreymon77JontheEchidna: not as much as i am, once its ported to kde4, that means no more macports for me00:56
RiddellHardy upgrade, to prompt or not to prompt00:56
seeleyuriy: hardy upgrade00:56
Riddellapachelogger: I'm pretty sure that's not possible00:56
* claydoh votes no prompt00:56
* JontheEchidna votes no prompt00:56
yuriyI think that since Kubuntu Hardy is NOT an LTS, it shouldn't be special and prompt00:56
apacheloggerwell, in this case I would suggest we just prompt for 9.0400:56
apacheloggereven without LTS00:56
Riddellclaydoh: then what happens when 8.04 becomes unsupported?00:56
yuriythat is, not special meaning it should prompt like every other release00:56
Riddellapachelogger: 8.04 to 9.04 isn't a supported upgrade path, it likely won't work00:57
apacheloggerwell00:57
claydohRiddell: good qustion, one i can't answer00:57
Riddellwe /could/ investigate making it a supported upgrade I suppose00:57
apacheloggerthen we have no choice00:57
apacheloggeris it worth the hassle?00:57
seelei dont think it's a good idea unless we can migrate user data from kde300:58
apacheloggeroh00:58
apacheloggerthat is a very good point00:58
JontheEchidnakde3 user data should migrate automagically to kde4, shouldn't it?00:58
Riddellseele: we can00:58
seeleif the upgrade gets rid of all the kde 3.5 apps, NOTHING will work in kde 4.100:58
RiddellJontheEchidna: yep00:58
seeleJontheEchidna: sortof00:58
yuriyseele: some of it does get migrated nicely00:58
seeleeh, then i must have bad luck00:58
apacheloggerRiddell: in that little time?00:58
apacheloggerI am not sure00:58
seelei always have to reconfigure all of my accounts00:58
apachelogger+ we barly get feedback about upgrades00:58
jjesseeven on kubuntu-users?00:59
seelebeing able to import 3.5 wallet in to 4.1 is only useful if we tell users they have to do that00:59
claydohlol00:59
apacheloggerI don't watch kubuntu-users00:59
apacheloggerbut there are certainly no bug reports about it00:59
jjesseyou should there's all kinds of fun there00:59
seeleor if we even do it for them00:59
apacheloggerseele: it is all automagic00:59
apacheloggerkde4 uses .kde00:59
apacheloggerso everything will be forced to upgrade configurations00:59
apacheloggerwhich doesn't work in some cases00:59
claydohkmail and amarok2 didn't migrate cleanly for me00:59
apacheloggerlike if the icon set was manually set to crystalsvg it will not change to oxygen01:00
seeleapachelogger: none of that worked for me when i copied my 3.5 .kde to a 4.1 only install01:00
apacheloggerclaydoh: amarok2 is not default for exaclty that reason01:00
apacheloggerseele: on intrepid?01:00
Nightroseclaydoh: amarok 2 will have a db update script by final release01:00
seeleyeah01:00
yuriycould the dist-upgrader at least make a backup of .kde?01:00
seelei had to go an find my kwallet file and import it01:00
apacheloggerseele: this is no good news01:00
yuriyit should probably do that anyway on every release01:00
apacheloggeryuriy: should not01:00
apachelogger.kde contains mails01:01
apacheloggerwhich tends to use quite some space01:01
Riddellyuriy: that's tricky, there might be a lot of user accounts and .kde can get very large01:01
seele*cough*10GB*cough*01:01
apacheloggersame for album covers of amarok and the amarok collection01:01
apacheloggermaybe we should provide a setting for that at some point01:01
apacheloggerand implement such a feature in the preinst of kdelibs01:02
apacheloggerbut definitely not on by default01:02
Riddell.kde/share/config would be easier01:02
Nightrosemy .kde folder is 44mb and my .kde4 33mb currently01:02
apacheloggeryeah, but most of these data aren't worth anything without the associated apps/*01:02
Nightrose*44001:02
apacheloggerlike custom icon sets01:02
apacheloggeror mails01:03
apacheloggeranyway01:03
seeleNightrose: do you use imap or pop for mail?01:03
apacheloggerRiddell: I think we should prompt for 9.04 and make 8.04 -> 9.04 supported01:03
Nightroseseele: i used to - but now nope01:03
claydoh+101:03
Riddellapachelogger: it's an interesting idea, I'll make enquiries and see what would need to happen01:03
apacheloggerok01:04
JontheEchidnaIf it's possible, +101:04
seeleso decision is deferred until Riddell hears back?01:04
* apachelogger is pretty sure that currently kde3 -> kde4 will end in a big explosion configurationwise01:04
JontheEchidnaActually01:04
seeleif we wait long enough, most people will migrate themselves ;)01:05
JontheEchidnaI installed Intrepid while saving my home partition01:05
Riddellapachelogger: fedora already did it and said they had no problems01:05
JontheEchidnawhich has stuff from like gutsy on there01:05
JontheEchidnaI had no problems01:05
apacheloggerRiddell: I heard kmail is causing a lot of problems01:05
seelei swear, it's only me who has problems01:05
apacheloggerand I really wouldn't want to mess with user's mails unless I know the upgrade will work01:05
* JontheEchidna wasn't using kmail until kmail4, so he didn't have problems01:05
apacheloggerthey might want to kill us if that goes wrong01:05
Nightrosedunno how it is behaving now01:05
Riddellkmail worked perfectly for me I'm glad to say01:05
* Nightrose had problems with kopete back in 4.001:06
JontheEchidnawe need more testing :(01:06
apacheloggerhm01:06
seeleRiddell: do you have pop and sent mail?01:06
claydohI tried dropping my kmail configs/folders onto my intrepid laptop01:06
claydohand I had to recreate all my accounts01:06
Riddellseele: imap and sent mail01:06
claydohmy mails (pop) were fine01:07
seelei had problems with reindexing some folders for the pop account01:07
apacheloggerwhile Riddell is aggreagating information about 8.04 -> 9.04, I will try to get a squad for configuration upgrade testing01:07
claydohmy hardy desktopis still in a coma :(01:07
Riddellapachelogger: let's ask the qa team what their upgrade tesing plans are, and make sure kde 3 to 4 is a strong part of that01:07
apacheloggerif we can't make the 8.04 -> 9.04 jump easily we need to do the best with what we have01:07
apacheloggerRiddell: yes01:07
RiddellTranslations of KDE programs in Launchpad01:08
Riddellnot sure who's item that is01:08
Nightrosei added it for apachelogger01:08
Riddellwhat's the issue?01:08
Nightrosebasically we had a lot of problems with translations in launchpad01:08
apacheloggerlaunchpad01:08
Nightroseand they seem to be rather useless if upstream provides good translations01:09
apacheloggera) I don't see the use of importing translated content into it01:09
Nightroseso causing more harm than good01:09
apacheloggerb) the new content doesn't exactly messure up with WA01:09
apacheloggerbug 106772 is around for more than a year01:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 106772 in amarok "Errors in Amarok's .po file cause issues with unparsed HTML" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/10677201:09
apacheloggerintial cause was, once again, a launchpad import error01:10
RiddellWA?01:10
apacheloggerit caused wrong translations01:10
apacheloggerI then walked through launchpad manually , which is, btw, awful and proposed fixed strings01:10
apacheloggerwhich are now sitting there as proposed for months01:10
apacheloggerand the affected team is not capable to approve them so that we get that issue fixed01:11
apacheloggeranother one is bug 20334901:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 203349 in language-pack-kde-sv "Broken plural forms in KDE" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20334901:11
apacheloggerwhich affects loads of applications and all languages01:12
apacheloggernow the problem really is in this report we see that people get pissed off01:12
Nightrose^ upstream got lots of bug reports about that....01:12
apacheloggerseriously01:12
ScottKSo how do we make language packs without Launchpad and get them on the CD?01:12
apacheloggerKDE has language packs01:12
ScottKSo just use those where we can?01:12
apacheloggerRiddell: can we do that?01:13
Riddellnot really, any translation files get automatically put through launchpad01:13
Nightroseto me it just seems to be a dublication of work that causes loads of problems01:13
* Nightrose would _really_ love to know what the benefit of translating in launchpad is01:14
Nightrose*duplication01:14
apacheloggerNightrose: it's easy to do01:14
apacheloggerwhich then results in QA problems if the teams don't take it serious01:14
Nightrosehmm yea - besides that...01:14
apacheloggerlike in the first bug I presented01:14
Nightroseright01:14
Riddellit makes translations possible for people not involved with the free software community (companies and governments)01:15
apacheloggerwell, this makes sense for small special applications, which are not part of the KDE main distributions01:15
Riddellso if a country comes to us and says they want to put Kubuntu on all their computers but it needs translated into their language first, pointing them at KDE svn, firefox l10n, GNU etc really doesn't work for them01:15
apacheloggerwell, so it would be an LP -> upstream -> kubuntu process01:16
apacheloggerbut having upstream -> lp -> upstream -> lp -> kubuntu seems rather pointless to me01:16
apacheloggerif the quality messures up to KDE's high standards then they will be glad to include it I guess01:17
apacheloggerif not we can always get the language packs from LP and fill the gaps (without default installation, since they didn't meet KDE's standards)01:18
Nightroseis there anyone we can talk to to at least fix those really annoying bugs that apachelogger pointed out?01:19
Nightrosesince upstream is getting annoyed by it and users as well since it is not getting fixed :/01:23
Riddelljtv is the launchpad translations maintainer01:24
seelei put that on there, but it concerns him too01:26
apacheloggeroh, btw, people, please add a @SIG@ at the end of your meeting entries01:26
apacheloggerotherwise we don't know who wrote the entry :)01:26
Riddellseele: what's the issue?01:26
Nightroseok I will get in touch with him as soon as I can01:26
Nightroseif noone else wants to01:26
seelethe show dashboard widget is missing from the panel, i think JE is going to put it back on there01:26
JontheEchidnahope he's not on vacation like everybody else in ubuntuland :P01:26
seelealso, what widgets should we put on the desktop?  right now we only have the file view and that's kindof boring01:26
JontheEchidnaIt's already in there in bzr01:26
seeleJontheEchidna: ok01:26
JontheEchidnawe need at least another default-settings release before Intrepid01:26
JontheEchidnaprobably before feature freeze01:26
RiddellJontheEchidna: that's easy enough, shall I do that tomorrow?01:27
JontheEchidnasure, sounds good to me01:27
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: I don't think default-settings additions really count as feature01:27
atomicseele: trash on the desktop, because it wastes space in the panel01:27
apacheloggernah01:27
apacheloggerhow about a clock?01:27
seelei dont think that makes sense since the plasma desktop doesnt support file manipulation very well01:28
apacheloggerKDE is clock obsessed, so we should probably reflect this ;-)01:28
seelelol01:28
JontheEchidnawe could put it on the right like the vista sidebar thingy01:28
seelethe clock still has rendering issues unless they've been fixed in trunk01:32
* apachelogger didn't notice any01:32
seeleit tends to randomly resize text01:32
Nightrosenotes and the dictionary?01:32
claydohhow about the 2-row task manager?01:32
seeleif you configure it with say, the date and time zone, when you relog it resizes the text funny because it tries to fit everything within a specified container01:32
seeleNightrose: notes is a good one01:32
jjessei've found the task manager never saves it shape/size at all01:32
seelei was thinking weather, but that would require the user to configure it, we couldnt figure out what town they were in magically01:32
Nightroseseele: yea that happens here as well01:32
JontheEchidnaweather isn't in main, and probably can't be promoted to such by tomorrow anyway01:32
jjesseseele: could you start w/ the location they are setting for timezone?01:32
jjessefor weather01:32
apacheloggerseele: we can determine the country01:32
apacheloggerwhich is already something01:32
JontheEchidnawhere do we get photos?01:40
claydohwould be a good demonstration I think01:40
claydohthats the tough part01:40
claydohdevelopers' mugshots?01:40
seeleryanakca: three might be too many for wide screen monitors.. the folder view and a picture take up a lot of space01:40
seelethe picture widget i'm hesitant to add because i'm not sure how obvious it is on how to configure01:40
apacheloggerwell01:40
seelewhen you add the widget yourself, you get a note that says "drag pictures on to the frame to add" which is really useful01:40
apacheloggerlet's just add notes01:40
ryanakcaseele: ah, okies01:40
seelebut if you have a default image, people might think its just a picture on their desktop and not a configurable frame01:40
seeleapachelogger: agreed01:40
* apachelogger thinks about getting something more kubuntuish for 9.0401:40
atomica picture of puppies01:40
apacheloggerlike an introducation video via plasmoids01:40
JontheEchidnaholy crap, lag01:40
Nightrosemaybe a news ticker set to display kubuntu.org news?01:40
Nightroseask the oxygen guys01:40
Nightrosei am sure they have something nice01:40
JontheEchidnathere isn't a newsticker plasmoid in 4.1.x that works01:40
apacheloggerwhat is with the one in kdenetwork?01:40
apacheloggerbroken?01:40
seeleNightrose: there's a news ticker widget?01:40
JontheEchidnapretty much01:40
Nightroseyes01:40
apachelogger:S01:40
Nightroseat least my add widget dialog says so ;-)01:40
JontheEchidnathe plasmoid itself displays as a black dot01:40
seeleis it in extragear?  i dont see it in the list01:40
apacheloggeroh01:40
seeleer, whatever they call extragear now01:40
Nightroseseele: no idea01:40
seeleplasma-extras01:40
apacheloggerkdeplasma-addons01:40
JontheEchidnaand it has this rectangley thing01:40
JontheEchidnaand the text just doesn't give a crap and scrolls across the whole screen01:42
JontheEchidnalol01:42
claydohpicture fram can do slideshows01:42
apacheloggerI think news ticker is a bad idea anyway01:42
seeleit doesn't appeal to everyone01:42
apacheloggerthere are people who ain't have any intarwebs access :P01:42
seele(but i want for myself!)01:42
NightroseJontheEchidna: meh :(01:42
Nightrosetoo bad01:42
JontheEchidnalooks quite bad even if it "works"01:42

apacheloggerit's the server I think01:42
JontheEchidnameh01:42
apacheloggeranyway01:42
apacheloggerwhat do we do?01:42
apacheloggerjust notes or notes + picutr frame with some weird content?01:43
apachelogger*picture01:43
JontheEchidnawhere do we get content?01:43
seeleFile View + Notes01:43
apacheloggerjust package it up01:43
seeleno picture frame01:43
apacheloggerthe pics don't need to be too big01:43
Riddellseele: file view being the Desktop one that's currently there?01:43
seeleRiddell: yeah01:43
* apachelogger also prefers filewlivew + notes01:43
apachelogger*fileview01:43
* apachelogger can't type anymore01:43
* JontheEchidna prefers folderview + notes too01:43
Nightroseseele: not set to the home directory?01:44
RiddellJontheEchidna: do you know how to add that to default settings?01:44
atomicJontheEchidna: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=puppies&l=cc&ct=001:44
JontheEchidnayeah, quite easy01:44
seeleNightrose: i was just thinking which directory it should be set to01:44
jjessenotes and file view for me01:44
seelewe should try and get away from the Desktop folder since the concept is obsolete in kde401:44
RiddellJontheEchidna: fancy doing that before I upload k-d-s then?01:44
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: oh, btw, please add a readme for that01:44
JontheEchidnaI just nuke my test dummies, account, copy the default plasma-appletsrc over, make changes accordingly and quit plasma to save01:44
JontheEchidnareadme for what?01:44
Nightroseseele: agreed01:44
seeleis firefox still configured to save to the Desktop folder?01:45
Nightroseseele: and people who still want it can set it up themselves01:45
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: how to do that in a way that it works on all resolutions properly01:45
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: set the panel width to 9000 seems to work pretty well01:46
apacheloggerseele: that is an ubuntu spec01:46
apacheloggerthe xdg-download-folder is ~/Desktop01:46
apacheloggerfor ubuntu being a windows user distro :P01:46
apacheloggerdownloading to desktop is totally 90's IMHO01:46
JontheEchidnawallpaper autoadjusts01:46
JontheEchidnapanel scales down well enough, just not up01:46
JontheEchidnaso as long as people don't have horizontal resolutions of over 9000 it's all good01:46
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: but how about plasmoids?01:46
JontheEchidnaI haven't tested with any plasmoids other than the default ones in the panel which seem to cope with different resolutions ok01:46
JontheEchidnaand folderview on the desktop01:47
JontheEchidnawhich copes ok too01:47
apacheloggerwell folderview is left top01:47
JontheEchidnayeah, pretty easy01:47
apacheloggerthat makes it fairly easy to deal with :P01:47
JontheEchidnaanything else would be hard01:47
JontheEchidnacome to think of it01:47
apacheloggeranyway, you just do some magic :P01:47
JontheEchidnaoh god what did I get myself in to01:47
JontheEchidnalol01:47
Nightrosehehe01:47
JontheEchidnawell, I could make sure it all fits in 1024x76801:49
JontheEchidnabut we might be better off just sticking with folderview01:49
Riddellit's getting late01:49
apacheloggerah01:49
apacheloggerone last thing01:49
apacheloggerhttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Meetings01:49
apacheloggerthe 2 icons in the lower bar are broken01:49
apacheloggersomeone please fix that :)01:49
JontheEchidnaas the only plasmoid on the desktop01:49
Riddellnixternal knows all about the wiki headers01:49
Riddellryanakca had something to say01:49
Riddellor maybe he didn't :)01:51
ryanakcaKubuntu's new website has a masthead were we currently stick the latest headline... I've received some comments that we should better use that piece of real estate... any comments on how we should use it?01:51
ryanakcaRiddell: sorry, was only half paying attention, didn't have a speach prepared :)01:51
apacheloggerdating agency!01:51
ryanakcaAlso, anybody who's willing to help out with the website is more than welcome, I sent the ML a request for help with things to do in July :)01:53
seeleryanakca: there is ~60 pixels between the kubuntu label and the blue header that should be reduced01:53
apacheloggerryanakca: maybe link to the latest developer blog?01:54
seeleryanakca: it should be approximately the same amount of space that is between the bottom part of the blue header and the top of the free download box01:54
* apachelogger thinks that using it for the latest headline is the best thing to do though01:54
apacheloggerif just our news would be better looking01:54
apacheloggerlooking into that though :)01:54
JontheEchidnawould tomorrow be too late to late to get an update for plasmoid-lancelot in?01:54
JontheEchidna(e.g. when is feature freeze?)01:54
JontheEchidnawhee, lag01:54
ryanakcaOk, someone had also suggested sticking a catch phrase to make people go ``Oh wow, that looks interesting, I wanna read more''... what's the opinion on that? Try it or stick to the headline?01:54
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: it was one hour ago01:54
JontheEchidna...01:54
JontheEchidnathat sucks01:54
apacheloggerryanakca: what would that phrase be for example?01:55
JontheEchidnathink it could squeak by somehow?01:55
apacheloggerunless it has to do withsomething similar to a dating agency slogan I don't think that's gonna work ;-)01:55
RiddellJontheEchidna: yeah, just do it before slangasek wakes up :)01:55
ryanakcaapachelogger: okies01:55

ryanakcaRiddell: does Kubuntu have a marketting team? I know Ubuntu does, but methinks they focus mainly on Ubuntu :)01:56
* apachelogger gets a headache from manually creating debdiffs where revu would automagically do it01:56
Riddellryanakca: nope01:56
apacheloggerryanakca: wanna create one?01:57
ryanakcaapachelogger: sure, if you wanna help :)01:57

apacheloggerryanakca: I even lead the stuff if you want me to, I miss the marketing stuff a lot :)01:57
apacheloggerDoes anyone else wanna join the marketing team?01:59
ryanakcaIs anybody interested in helping create a feature tour, or will we just take Ubuntu's and theme it / change the screenshots/text to suit our needs?01:59

seeleRiddell: no, but getting to see you 4 times over the past year has just dimmed the previous years ;)01:59
ryanakcaapachelogger: I don't think so, but if we're just going to rip Ubuntu's, we should at least help them make it :)02:00
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: uploaded lancelot to revu, should appear in a few minutes02:00

\shapachelogger: quassel 0.3.0 works like a charm...I backported the stuff to hardy+ppa kde4/qt4 libs, and the upgrade of the core works too...should I upload quassel 0.3.0 to the kde4 ppa?09:13
Riddell\sh: why not upload to intrepid?09:55
\shRiddell: already done :)09:55
\shRiddell: with 0.3.0 the 0.2.0 core can't be used anymore, and 0.2.0 clients can't connect to 0.3.0 cores...so I thought it's a good idea to push this to hardy + ppa too09:56

JontheEchidnaare we just going to screw over everybody non-English and put an English welcome to Kubuntu note in the plasma-appletsrc?12:21

Artemis_Fowlseele: hi13:19
seeleArtemis_Fowl: don't know if you heard, but we're going to try and put kgrubeditor in intrepid. hopefully we don't find any bugs that can't get fixed13:19
jpdsapachelogger: Where does Konqueror keep it's cookies?13:19

Riddelljpds: /home/jr/.kde/share/apps/kcookiejar/cookies13:20
seeleArtemis_Fowl: second, the password part of the wizard is still a bit confusing, i dont know if that should wait until 1.0 since it could be more work than just tweaking labels13:20
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: gethotnewstuff doesn't get focus when used via the standalone version13:20
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: also install kubuntu-grub-* it is a splashscreen package which causes kgrubeditor to crash13:21
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: and kgrubeditor doesn't like having /boot on a seperate partition when it comes to splashscreens13:21
Tonio_hi there13:22

Artemis_Fowlfirst of all, gethownewstuff seems to be dead indeed13:23

RiddellTonio_: it runs  KProcess.startDetached("kdesudo", ["adept", "updater"])13:42

Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: ah ok :)13:42
Tonio_Riddell: I was on a fresh install, so there might be a little problem on that side....13:43
Tonio_Riddell: simple dist-upgrade won't replace adept213:43
apacheloggerI think the new adept package needs to conflict&replace the old ones13:44
apacheloggeror mayb there is some rdepend which keeps it from upgrading13:44
Tonio_Riddell: should apport recommend update-notifier-kde or just nothing ?13:45
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: new adept already conflicts/replaces all old adept components13:45
RiddellTonio_: apport-qt should recommend update-notifier-kde13:45

jpdsScottK: Will do.13:55
ScottKThanks.13:55
Artemis_Fowlseele: we had a discussion around what was thought to be the only hindrance from creating a grub editor earlier13:55
Artemis_Fowlseele: a.k.a. how AutoMagic is handled13:55
RiddellTonio_: ok if I remove kio-apt?  doesn't seem useful without a kde 4 version13:55
Artemis_Fowlseele: and it turned out to be a mere misunderstanding13:55
Artemis_Fowlseele: AutoMagic is not that evil :) actually KGRUBEditor handles it perfectly right now13:56
Tonio_Riddell: yep13:56
sebasArtemis_Fowl: Well, it ignores it and tries to not get in the way.13:57
Artemis_Fowlsebas: yes13:57
sebasSO your grubeditor is an editor for non-default grub settings13:57
sebasPerfect would be (as I said) to manipulate the magic lines where appropriate13:57
sebasSO you don't get "cannot edit *this* entry"13:57
Artemis_Fowlyes, actually it is an editor for standard GRUB (standrad GRUB commands)13:58
Artemis_Fowlsebas: where do you get "cannot edit *this* entry"?13:58
sebasI didn't get it, but that's what I understood your editor does.13:59
Artemis_Fowlwell, no13:59
sebasI.e. if you use it, you'll lose automatically set up grub13:59
RiddellTonio_: if you're looking for things to do porting amarok to use install-package would be lovely :)14:00
jpdsScottK: I subsribe ubuntu-archive?14:00
ScottKYes.14:00
ScottKThat or maybe Riddell just removes it now.14:00
Artemis_Fowlsebas: what do you mean with "automatically set up grub"? the AutoMagic lines?14:00
sebasYes, what apt does with update-grub14:01
Artemis_Fowlsebas: they don't get removed14:01
sebasIMO, a grub editor on Kubuntu should read the automagic lines and create entries based on that using update-grub14:01
sebasArtemis_Fowl: Right, they are still there.14:01
sebasSo you have update-grub to edit half of the settings, and your tool to add more that won't be covered by update-grub14:02
Artemis_Fowlsebas: yes. that's what it should do under Kubuntu indeed14:02
sebasThat's not perfect, it's merely "doesn't break things horribly"14:02
Artemis_Fowlprobably I could extend it someday to support these update-grub settings14:03
sebasThat would be cool14:03

apacheloggerNightrose: I don't know what to write :|16:32
Nightroseapachelogger: :/   what do you have so far?16:33
Riddellsmarter: kvkbd readded to seeds16:33
apacheloggerNightrose: a crappy wiki page ;-)16:33
smarterRiddell: groovy16:33
* apachelogger also just realised that Riddell is his only main sponsor16:33
apacheloggeroh ScottK also sponsored one package :)16:33
Nightrosehehe16:33
Nightroseapachelogger: shamelessly copy from other applications? :P16:33
Riddellapachelogger: this shows something about our need for more main people16:34
Nightroseheh see there you got a good start16:34
apacheloggerprobably true16:34
smarterheh, that kio-bookmarks thing seems interesting16:35
smarterbut the name is boring :p16:35
apacheloggerRiddell: did dirk give an ETA for the tarballs?16:35
Nightroseyay for finally being able to kinda read backtraces \o/16:35
apacheloggerNightrose: reading them isn't all that difficult, fixing the underlying issues is :P16:36
Nightrose:P16:36
Riddellapachelogger: not that I've heard16:36
* apachelogger should write a script to check in a 5 minutes loop whether the tarballs are up16:37
Nightrosenope you should write your core-dev app ;-)16:37
* apachelogger starts with int main(){} :P16:39
Nightrose*lol*16:40
* Riddell would have expected ruby from apachelogger 16:40
Riddellseele: I don't suppose you know the magic config file option for move toolbar text?16:41
* apachelogger is trying to become also a c++ hacker, to get khelpcenter fixed :)16:41
seeleRiddell: move position?  or configure display?16:42
apacheloggerRiddell: change it in systemsettings->appearance->style->2nd tab16:43
apacheloggerthen you know ;-)16:43
Riddellapachelogger: rewrite khelpcentre in ruby?16:43
NightroseScottK: /me voices her support for getting tvbrowser in - I really miss that package and unfortunately the unofficial repo for it doesn't update anymore since hardy release (no hardy packages :( )16:43
NightroseScottK: of course I respect your decission if it is too late now16:44
Nightrosebut it would be great if it can get in16:44
seeleapachelogger: does that override apprc options?16:44
Riddellseele: not if the app is implemented correctly (which I note kate isn't)16:47
Riddellthere was a blog about that recently16:47
ScottKNightrose: The main thing is I need some good solid reason it's more important than the dozens of other packages sitting on REVU.16:47
seeleRiddell: so that means going through every ~/.kde/share/config/apprc file and changing the option?16:48
seeleoption(s) for each toolbar class/group16:48
apacheloggerRiddell: that would be too easy16:49
NightroseScottK: it is the only good tv schedule program on linux i know that has german tv stations, has lots of very nifty features and is widely used as far as i can tell16:50
Nightrosebesides that it is it should have been in ubuntu ages ago if you ask me16:51
Nightrosebut due to licensing problem it was not included16:51
Nightrosewhich seem to be fixed now16:51
Nightrose-it is16:51
ScottKSo please put it in the bug.16:51
Nightroseok16:52
Riddellseele: no we set it once globally16:53
Riddellseele: if apps or users of apps set it per app then that will stick16:53
seeleeasy peasy then16:55
Riddellnow, do we want a lighter background colour17:00
smarter+100017:00
* smarter really hates this win98-likes grey background17:01
smarterIMHO, we should also change the tooltip color from blue to yellow17:01
apacheloggerbackground of what?17:02
smarterapachelogger: kde4 apps17:02
Riddellapachelogger: window background17:02
Riddellit's quite a dark grey in oxygen and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidDefaults says we decided to make it lighter when discussing it i nprague17:02
apacheloggerI wouldn't call it dark really17:03
smarterI find it depressive :P17:03
apacheloggerworth a try I guess17:03
apacheloggerbut changing the tooltip from blue to yellow is a bad idea, yellow conflicts with basically every other color in the oxygen color scheme17:04
Nightrose+117:05
smarterand are we going to change the "KDE DESKTOP" link on the top right of kickoff?17:05
apacheloggerif you have a picture to replace it17:06
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: tell master seigo to make that configurable17:06
smartershouldn't be too hard to do one, there's tons of userbar maker17:06
apacheloggerwell17:07
smarterI'll try to make one17:07
apacheloggeruserbar looks like crap17:07
smarter:]17:07
apacheloggeraseigo wanted to replace the current one before release, he probably didn't get to it17:07
smarterso what do you suggest?17:07
apacheloggersmarter: maybe we should just change the picture scaling and use a bigger kubuntu logo17:08
apacheloggerlike we had in 4.017:08
smarterscreenshot?17:08
apacheloggerscrew that17:11
apacheloggersmarter: write your MOTU application17:11
* apachelogger has to write his core-dev application17:11
smarter:}17:11
ScottKThe KDE 3.5.10 compiz-kicker crash thing happens on opensuse too.17:12
RiddellScottK: always reassuring :)17:12
Riddelldid we decide on a course of action for gtk-qt themes?17:17
ScottKRiddell: The alternative was uploaded prior to FF, so maybe get it through New and compare?17:25
ScottKI'm blanking on the package name ATM.17:25
Riddellgtk-kde417:26
RiddellI can't seem to get gtk-qt-engine to work17:26
ScottKYeah.  That's the one.  Now if we could only find an archive admin to push it through New ...17:27
* Riddell accepts17:27
Riddellsmarter: why does kde4-style-bespin contain a plasmoid?17:49
Riddelldevfil: what's the advantage of gtk-kde4 over gtk-qt-engine?17:52
Riddelldevfil: oh and why is the binary named kcm-gtk when surely the style itself is the main feature?17:52
devfilRiddell: apachelogger suggests me to call it kcm-gtk-kde417:53
devfilRiddell: the style doesn't have particulr problem, looks good maybe the menus aren't good17:54
apacheloggerRiddell: the kcm is really the main feature as I understood17:54
devfilapachelogger: openSUSE what use as gtk theme?17:55
apacheloggerdunno, jolly hard to reach someone who knows17:56
apacheloggerI guess they don't know them selfs ;-)17:56
devfilLOL17:56
apacheloggerlooks like they were just using some gtk native theme in 11.017:56
apacheloggerbut that dev of gtk-kde4 is an opensuse fanboy17:56
devfiluhm... this makes sense17:57
apacheloggerso I guess he will take care that it gets used in 11.1 ;-)17:57
devfilwhen I've used gtk-kde4 the first time17:57
Riddellapachelogger: got an opinion on gtk-kde4 vs gtk-qt-engine?17:57
devfilI've installed it in ubuntu+kubuntu desktop package17:57
devfilit was the same of kde417:57
apacheloggerRiddell: I didn't look to closly at gtk-kde4 yet, but I think it causes less problems17:57
devfilin kubuntu no17:57
* Riddell ponders whether to let "libass" through new queue17:58
apacheloggerRiddell: gtk-kde4 is really just pixmapping while gtk-qt is emulating the whole style17:58
devfila fusion between the two should be the best solution17:58
devfilmenu from gtk-qt17:58
devfiland other things from gtk-kde417:58
devfilRiddell: this seems to be interesting http://jaysonrowe.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/tip-gtk-apps-under-kde-4-and-a-big-thanks-to-opensuse/18:01
RiddellArtemis_Fowl: how does kgrubeditor manage to get root as a kcm module?18:01
Artemis_FowlRiddell: you want me to explain to you the programming methods?18:02
jjessemagic18:02
RiddellArtemis_Fowl: yep18:05
Artemis_FowlRiddell: well it's not a very "clean" way18:06
Artemis_FowlRiddell: basically the password is acquired by a KPasswordDialog subclass which is customised to handle errors (eg. the user entered wrong password)18:07
Artemis_FowlRiddell: and here comes the "ugly" part18:07
Artemis_Fowlfor example when saving the changes18:08
Artemis_Fowlthe file we want to write to is checked if it is writable and if not a temp file is created, the contentes are written there18:08
Artemis_Fowland then18:08
Artemis_Fowlusing KSuProcess we use the command "cp" to copy the temp file->original18:09
Artemis_Fowlthat's pretty much how root actions are taken18:09
Riddellfair enough, it's about the best we can do until we get a kde policykit18:10
Artemis_Fowlyes18:10
Artemis_Fowlactually18:10
RiddellArtemis_Fowl: I've written a main inclusion report and put kgrubeditor into the seeds so it'll appear on the CD18:10
Artemis_FowlOK18:10
NightroseScottK: thanks :)  hope someone finds the time for it18:11
Artemis_FowlRiddell: A better solution though would be to ship an executable along with kgrubeditor which would be called using KSuProcess too and could perform the cp actions etc18:11
Artemis_FowlRiddell: so as to make it more platform-independent18:12
Artemis_FowlRiddell: but still it sux18:12
smarterRiddell: upstream put a plasmoid inside, don't know why18:23
Riddellsmarter: is it at all related?18:23
smarterthe name in the source files is "Bespin mac-a-like XBar KDE4"18:24
Riddellah, it's to make thing more mac like18:24
smarterit's a plasmoid to be put on the top panel18:25
smarterit seems to imitate os X top panel18:25
* Riddell accepts18:27
asfakhello everyone. Everything is fine with intrepid kub alpha4 experience but difficulty in getting nvidia-old legacy driver running. Resctricted driver unable to download anything. envyNg installs but during boot only black screen comes up.18:48
asfaki have updated to use new 2.6.27.1 kernel esp to use my old webcam using spca driver which were merged in this kernel but with no benefit it seems18:50
Riddellasfak: linux isn't really our domain, we just do KDE18:55
\shasfak: #ubuntu-kernel is the way to go...all intrepid kernel stuff should go there including modules18:58
asfakactually i am not much concerned about linux. Envy-qt was updated to version 2.0. And according to envyNG developer, only version 177 of nvidia works with new kernel. and this way i am not enjoying full power of kubuntu18:59
apacheloggerwhat is envyng anyway?18:59
asfakati, nvidia installer for kubuntu, ubuntu19:00
\shasfak: ask the developer :)19:01
asfaki think, developer maybe knowing about this. it's very premature to ask about it19:01
asfakanyway i am asking at #ubuntu-kernel19:02
asfakBTW, what will be default adept, amarok and digikam version for Kubuntu intrepid ?19:03
apacheloggerScottK: can I mention you as sponsor in my core dev app?19:32

\shapachelogger: hardy + ppa upgrade to intrepid...I think something's messed up in kmail-kde419:52
seaLnehehe at a talk about landscape and the staging server has fallen over19:52
\shseaLne: uhm? that's nasty19:53
seaLnestaging not production so more amusing than anything else :)19:54
ScottK\sh: kdepim-kde4 is an old pre-release package from gutsy-backports.19:55
\shdoing a presentation and the server falls over is also nasty..no matter if it's beta, alpha, or production...it's funny but shouldn't do19:55
ScottKIt's not suprising it doesn't upgrade well.19:55
ScottKapachelogger: What did I upload of yours again?19:56
\shScottK: hmm..it was in the hardy ppa...or did it never upgrade at all..no..I never used gutsy-backports19:56

Nightroseadded me as friend on facebook and i have no idea who he is but he also added you so...21:36
Nightrose;-)21:36
seeleNightrose: i dont know but it was easier to add him than to keep ignoring his messages21:40
seelestupid social networking21:40
Nightroseheh21:41
* Nightrose will ignore him then21:41
Nightrosenot going to add people i don't know21:41
seeleyou dont get requests from people youve met at conferences and forget?21:43
seelei wish there was a way to assign relationships besides how you know someone21:44
seelelike in orkut21:44
seele"know this person in real life"21:44
seele"know this person only online"21:44
seele"have no idea who this person is but added them anyway"21:45
jcastroI find my facebook explodes after conferences21:45
jcastroit makes me feel good about myself.21:45
jcastroeven if they're just oss people who I only meet once21:46
jjessethe funny thing about my facebook is when girls i knew in high school add me and my wife asks who she is21:46
seelelol21:46
Nightroseseele: i know those names/faces ;-)21:47
* Nightrose is relatively good with that21:48
seelei'm terrible, hehe21:48
Nightrosehehe21:48
seelei'll recognize a face if i've met them before, but i can't remember names or projects21:48
Nightrose*nod*21:48
seelealthough if i know what their IRC /nick is, i'll remember that :)21:49
Nightrosehehe21:49
seeleand when people come up to you and say your name.. that's the worst.  i feel like i ought to know who they are21:50
Nightrose;-)21:50
Nightrosei know what you mean21:50
Nightroseluckily i know the name most of the time21:51
jjessehrmm have i added seele to my facbook account?21:51
Nightrosebut it is really bad if I don't...21:51
seelejjesse: i dont think so21:51
seeleNightrose: i just nod and smile and try to figure out where ive seen this person before or what project21:51
seelebecause sometimes i'll talk to people on irc or via mail, and be like "yeah, come see me during the conference"21:51
Nightroseyea21:52
seelebut then people come up to me and start talking about the problem, and forget to introduce themselves and their project so i know who they are21:52
Nightrosedo that as well21:52
Nightroseyea21:52
jjessei do that all the time, my wife always asks "why didn't you introduce me" when she is sstanding next to me... and i'm like i had no clue who that was21:52
Nightrosei always hope that somehow they mention something that rings a bell21:53
Nightrose*g* jjesse21:53
seelejjesse: lol21:55
seelewell i'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem :)21:55
Nightroseseele: hehe you are by far not the only one - take sven for example - I am his brain extension when it comes to names21:59
Nightrosehe would be completely helpless on conferences without me sometimes21:59
Nightrosei don't even want to count the times he asked me who the person he just talked to for an hour was21:59
Nightrose;-)22:00
seelehehe22:01
apacheloggerRiddell: I don't see how kde4libs can build depend on kdesdk22:19
apacheloggersdk will not build without libs and libs not without sdk, that doesn't sound very healthy ;-)22:19

JontheEchidnatoo bad apport bugs never get good reproducibility intructions :/22:30
JontheEchidnaat least the amarok-kde4 packages dep on the -dbg packages22:31
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: doesn't anymore22:34
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: and apport retraces the crash after some time22:34
JontheEchidnaah, right22:34
JontheEchidnayay for apport I suppose22:34
JontheEchidna...except apport bugs generally end up irremovable stains on the face of Launchpad22:35
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: it does?22:36
JontheEchidnain the sense that22:36
JontheEchidnanobody ever says how it crashes22:36
apacheloggerthat is indeed very true22:36
JontheEchidnaso they just sit there forever22:36
apacheloggerone could eventually ask and mark them as incomplete ;-)22:38
JontheEchidnawe should just close all the ones from KDE322:39
apacheloggerwe still support KDE 3 based kubuntu versions22:42
Riddellwell, I have concluded that knetworkmanager doesn't work with the current network manager23:24
apacheloggerthere 30 power manger apps for KDE 4 but no network managers :(23:27
