jjesse_ok i have a small frustration with using leonov-kde, i keep on having to sudo chmod /usr/binpykdeuic4 to build leonov.  this seems to happen after i update my intrepid build?02:34
\shapachelogger: now again ;)07:22
apachelogger\sh: I am wondering what I wanted to ask you now :P07:30
\shapachelogger: you asked if I'm still around...;)07:30
apacheloggeryeah, but I probably wanted to ask you something much more important, much more secret...07:32
apacheloggerhm07:32
apacheloggerI shouldn't get up that early07:32
apachelogger\sh: The Kubuntu Ninjas needs a server with improved release handling and QA. Do you know where we can get one? ;-)07:34
\shapachelogger: well, if you can give me a clue what "improved release handling" means (I think QA means something like the ubuntuwire scripts?)07:35
\shapachelogger: we need to fix kde4bindings...it looks like that something in python-kde4 and python-kde4-dev is clashing (regarding the pykdeuic4.py and kde4.py) let's talk about this a bit later...08:19
* apachelogger is wondering why that python stuff is always breaking :S08:20
gnomefreakanyone know kernels and kernel modules in here?08:27
apacheloggergnomefreak: #ubuntu-kernel08:38
gnomefreaktried already08:38
apacheloggerwell, I didn't see anyone talk about kernel stuff in here08:39
apacheloggerwell, besides complaining that it is broken ;-)08:39
gnomefreakjust thought i would try08:40
seaLneshould konq not be working properly?09:02
\shapachelogger: no it's not breaking, we made a mistake in the first place...09:04
\shapachelogger: it's layer 9 problem09:04
seaLne:)09:04
\shapachelogger: fix flashplugin from adobe via disassembling ,-)09:05
apacheloggerhuh09:05
apacheloggerhold on09:05
apacheloggerlayer 909:05
apacheloggerhm09:05
apacheloggerisn't that like religious?09:05
\shapachelogger: it's above the osi layer09:05
apacheloggeryeah09:06
apacheloggerhow can python be a religion? :P09:06
\shapachelogger: layer 8 is the problem in front of the keyboard09:06
apacheloggerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer_909:06
apacheloggerIn a similar vein, "Layer 9" is jokingly considered to be the religious layer of the OSI model.09:06
\shapachelogger: layer 9 is the problem of the brain of the problem in front of the keyboard ,-)09:06
apacheloggerall very confusing09:07
* apachelogger never understood the osi model with 7 layers09:07
apachelogger9 is just too much09:07
\shapachelogger: actually you have more then 7 layers09:08
apacheloggerthat would explain the ununderstandibility09:08
\shapachelogger: e.g. mpls .... it's neither layer 2 nor layer 3 it's in between ,->09:08
apacheloggerhm09:09
apachelogger\sh: well, screw OSI09:09
\shapachelogger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Label_Switching :)09:09
apachelogger\sh: my IT professor used to say: if something is describable using OSI it's probably pretty uncool09:10
\sh"MPLS operates at an OSI Model layer that is generally considered to lie between traditional definitions of Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) and Layer 3 (Network Layer), and thus is often referred to as a "Layer 2.5" protocol."09:10
apacheloggerI think I now understand why he said that09:11

seaLneit mostly works for me except no background on my left09:30
\shyes09:30
\shthat was working with fglrx drivers enabled..09:31
\shbut now, the display manager in systemsettings doesn't even get this config09:31
seaLnei'm just using radeon09:31
\shbtw...did anyone tested ati 8.8 drivers?09:31
\shargl...read launchpad and you get a clue09:36
\shseaLne: btw...it looks like that kwin doesn't expand anymore on the second screen...because you can't even click on it and have a menu or whatsoever09:42
seaLnedo you get that on your first or second? i get it on my first09:48
seaLne\sh: to clarify that broken on first09:49
\shseaLne: I get the plasma desktop on the first screen...the second can display windows but no plasma10:06
seaLneweird10:06
\shxrandr working...virtual desktop size in xorg.conf is 2560x1024 (2x 1280)10:07
\shgnome does work as expected..10:08
seaLnebut then they don't have plasma :)10:08
\shseaLne: I wonder if it's kwin or plasma itself...10:09
seaLneis plasma still broken on single head?10:10
\shnope...plasma works10:10
seaLneout of interest does konq work for web for you?10:13
\shwell...if www.sourcecode.de counts, so yes10:14
\shintrepid kde4.1.1 here ;)10:14

Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: ping10:51
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: pong10:52
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: I have a question concerning intrepid's freeze system10:52
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: now that kgrubeditor is uploaded, if I release a new version before interpid is released, will it make it in?10:53
Artemis_Fowlor stick to 0.8.1?10:53
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: we can file a feature freeze exception10:54
apacheloggerwhich is most likely to get granted with a very small amount of big feature changes/additions10:55
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: well it fixes a bunch of grave bugs10:55
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: if so, when is the deadline?10:55
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: is it bug fix only?10:55
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: and additions as well10:55
apacheloggerdeadline is before cd creation IIRC10:56
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: which is when? a rough date would be nice10:57
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule10:57
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: most likely the FFe will not be granted after beta10:58
apacheloggerso we should try to get it in before october 2nd10:58
Artemis_Fowlok good10:58
Artemis_Fowlalmost a month10:58
ScottKIf it's bugfix only an FFe is not required, so be careful not to add new features, even small, low risk ones.11:42
ScottKEveryone please note that ISO testing for Alpha 5 Kubuntu is sorely needed.11:43
reisihas anyone noticed that akgregator-kde4 does not recommend any backend for storing the articles and thus it crashes when i open it? through kontact i can configure it and it lists no available backends11:48
reisiby recommending i mean the akregator-kde4 debian package does not recommend or depend on anything other than kde/qt libs11:51
apacheloggerreisi: -(~:$)-> less /var/cache/apt/archives/akregator_4%3a4.1.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb | grep storage11:57

reisiapachelogger: ok it seems that it wasn't a breakage but rather than akregator disliking my old configuration files12:21
apacheloggerreisi: old = kde3?12:22

metelliusark in kubuntu is compiled without libzip support, so I'm getting lots of bug reports about ark not being able to open zip files13:17
metelliusany packagers out there that can confirm this by looking at a compile output or something? (i am not familiar with the kubuntu build process)13:17
Riddellhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/17242047/buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-i386.kdeutils_4:4.1.1-0ubuntu2_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz is the build log13:21
Riddellit says "-- Found LibZip: /usr/include"13:22
Riddellmetellius: yes (to #kde-devel13:22
seeleScottK: i dont see the iso listed on cdimage?13:23
Riddellmetellius: kubuntu-members-kde4 packages is http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16405913/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-i386.kdeutils-kde4_4:4.1.0-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz13:25
Riddellwhich says "-- Could not find OPTIONAL package LibZip"13:25
Nightrosemetellius: i can open zip files just fine here now - kde 4.1.113:26
Nightroseon hardy13:26
metelliusNightrose: kubuntu?13:26
Nightroseyes13:26
Nightroseoh13:26
Nightrosesec13:26
Nightrosemetellius: nevermind - ark doesn't show anything13:27
Nightroseso confirming13:27
metelliusmhm, that's the bug.13:27
metelliusRiddell: what was the differences between the first and second links you gave me?13:27
Riddellmetellius: first is intrepid, second is hardy backports13:27
Riddellmetellius: we couldn't add libzip for a long time because it wasn't security reviewed, I've since added it to intrepid but nobody has added it to hardy backports13:28
metelliusRiddell: oh13:28
metelliusso you might be the person to complain to about it being compiled with off_t = 32bit?13:28
Riddellabout which?13:29
metelliuslibzip13:29
RiddellI've never touched libzip myself, I think we get it straight from debian13:29
Riddellyes, we do13:29
metelliusI see13:29
metelliusthis sounds icky13:30
Riddellmetellius: what problems does that cause, and can it be easily fixed?13:30
metelliuswell, ark is compiled with off_t = 64bit, but libzip is with 32bit and it's causing various buggy behaviours13:30
Nightrosemetellius: any idea why dolphin can open the zip files btw?13:30
metelliusNightrose: yes, the problem mentioned above; kubuntu does not compile it with libzip13:31
Riddellvorian, JontheEchidna, apachelogger: anyone fancy adding libzip to kdeutils in hardy kubuntu-members-kde4?13:31
JontheEchidnaRiddell: I could13:31
doc__hi there13:32
Nightrosemetellius: well yea - but dolphin doesn't have libzip either then does it? or does it use something else than libzip?13:32
ScottKseele: I believe http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20080903.1/ is the one that wants testing.13:32
RiddellJontheEchidna: you would get metellius's eternal gratitude :)13:32
Riddellhi doc__13:32
smarterI could too but doesn't have hardy to test and don't really want to break anything (:13:32
metelliusNightrose: I think dolphin uses kio, which uses karchive libs13:33
\shmetellius: how do I tell libzip to use off_t = 64bit if it doesn't set that...imho it should be pulled from some glibc includes?13:33
Nightrosemetellius: ah ok13:33
apacheloggeryay13:33
apacheloggerI downloaded the ubuntu cd image13:34
apachelogger-.-13:34
* apachelogger shouldn't download stuff before first up of coffee13:34
ScottKI got my shipit special order in the mail yesterday.13:35
ScottKIt was all Ubuntu.  Urgh.13:35
Riddellmeh13:35
apachelogger-.-13:35
\shmetellius: it really looks like upstream didn't even think about supporting 64bit sizes ,-)13:35
metelliusstupid stupid stupid13:35
metelliusI wonder if anyone's actually using libzip13:35
\shmetellius: the fix should be easy13:36
metelliusit should be13:36
ScottKRiddell: I've got a couple of fixed pending for after Alpha 5 gets out so I think we ought to be able to fully build KDE 4.1.1 on all archs, not just the supported ones.13:37
ScottKfixed/fixes13:37
\shmetellius: anyhow...if it uses sys/types.h for off_t it should support off_t == 64bit size out of the box13:37
metelliusit does that13:38
\shso it should use 64bit sizes13:38
\shbecause sys/types.h defines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43320/13:39
\shbut it can be, that libzip doesn't define file_offset6413:39
metelliusyes, that's what I was looking for13:40
\shthat's the bug...13:40
metelliussomeone wrote it in a bug report, but bugs.kde.org is bugging now13:40
RiddellScottK: great13:41
metellius\sh: how can it be fixed?13:42
\shmetellius: the fix should be to pass somehow the __USE_FILE_OFFSET6413:42
\shto the libzip source13:42
\shthen it should use 64bit offsets even in the zip header...but I don't know if this is good, because it could break zip compatiblity13:43
\shzip archive compatiblity to be more precise13:43
JontheEchidnametellius: uploading to the PPA now13:43
metelliusJontheEchidna: uploading what?13:44
JontheEchidnakdeutils with libzip-dev as a build-depend13:45
metellius\sh: I'm not sure about that either. but I do know that lots of bugs related to using the stat I got from libzip vanished once I ninja hacked the zipplugin to see off_t as 32bit13:45
JontheEchidnaonce it builds everything should be ok13:45
metelliusJontheEchidna: thanks a lot, that solves the problem with zip files not being opened at all.13:46
metelliusnext up is the one about off_t and file_offset_6413:46
\shmetellius: well that's normal, if anything else is using LFS which means off_t == 64bit then libzip has a problem when you pass a 64bit offset to a 32bit offset var...but as libzip is using off_t == 32bit in the zip struct, it could really be, that the 32bit offset is a general archive default for zip (thinking about the time of inventing zip ;))13:46
metelliushmm, true13:48
ScottKRiddell: Since I gather you're back off vacation ...  In addition to ISO testing, the other thing we need for Alpha 5 is release notes (particularly knetworkmanager doesn't work).13:48
\shmetellius: http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT13:49
\shmetellius: and there is another zip format, named zip64 (tm)13:49
\shwhere the size offsets are all 8bytes and not 4 bytes as used in the old zip13:50
metelliusin that case13:50
\shmetellius: and reagrding the document, zip64 should be the default format nowadays13:50
metelliuslibzip should really have internal logic that detects the format and hides the difference between a universal zip_stat struct in the headers13:52
metelliuseither way; my ninja fix was removed just before the tag, and replace with an additional CMAKE flag for the zipplugin13:53
metelliushttp://www.svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/KDE/search?revision=85656313:53
metelliusso if I understand the cmake code correctly, then kubuntu people can enable the cmake flag LIBZIP_COMPILED_WITH_32BIT_OFF_T until things have been fixed properly13:55
metelliuskubuntu packagers: can I have someone have a look at this for me?13:57
JontheEchidnasomebody mucked up kde4bindings for hardy14:00
JontheEchidnaThe following packages have unmet dependencies:14:00
JontheEchidna  python-kde4: Conflicts: python-kde4-dev (< 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu1) but 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa1 is to be installed14:00
JontheEchidnameaning kdeutils-kde4 won't build :(14:01
apacheloggerneato14:30
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: where did that new kdeutils FTBFS come from?14:31
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: looking at it I just need to add the ~hardy1~ppa1 to the python-kde4 conflicts14:31
JontheEchidnaConflicts: python-kde4-dev (<< 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu1)14:31
apacheloggerhm14:31
apacheloggerdid I do that?14:31
JontheEchidnaya14:31
apacheloggeruncool14:31
JontheEchidnaI'll upload the fix after I rebuild the source pacakge14:32
apacheloggerhm14:32
JontheEchidnaor do we need -0ubuntux at all?14:32
apacheloggerno14:33
apacheloggerI am wondering why add it14:33
apacheloggermaybe copy'n'paste14:33
jussi01oooh, the ninjas are here! Nice work on 4.1.1 Ninjas :)14:33
apachelogger:)14:33
JontheEchidna:)14:33
* apachelogger is also wondering 14:33
* apachelogger just forget about what14:33
ScottKJontheEchidna: Just use 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu1~14:34
ScottKErr14:34
JontheEchidnaScottK: we shouldn't need -0ubuntu anything14:34
ScottK4:4.1.1~14:34
ScottKYeah.14:35
apacheloggerScottK: what is that ~ doing?14:35
ScottK'~' is the lowest in the sort order, so 4:4.1.1~ means 4:4.1.1 with anything or nothing after it.  4:4.1.1~ is lower than 4:4.1.1.14:36
ScottKIn this case it's probably not important, but for some packages it can help avoid conflicts.14:36
* apachelogger finds that confusing14:37
apacheloggerit is > 4.1.0.9 but < 4.1.0?14:37
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: so is qyoto not building an upstream problem?14:41
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: it is?!14:42
JontheEchidnaI don't know...14:42
JontheEchidnathat why I asked14:42
apacheloggerqyoto builds on i386 and am64 for sure14:42
JontheEchidnauh, well it's commented out of control for the ppa14:42
apacheloggernow seroiusly, this whole thing is way too confusing without packaging in a VCS14:43
metelliusdid any of the packaging ninjas have a look at the build problem fix I mentioned above?14:45
metellius(with cmake and LIBZIP_COMPILED_WITH_32BIT_OFF_T)14:45
* JontheEchidna wouldn't know how to go about making that change14:46
apacheloggermetellius: poke the libzip dev(s)14:54
metelliuswell, that's the best solution but it takes time time time14:55
metelliusin the meantime the next best solution is for the packages to temporarily adapt14:56
* apachelogger feels uncomfortable adding patches which are not in upstream's VCS14:56
apacheloggerrule #1: patches are evil14:56
metelliusit's not a patch14:56
apacheloggermetellius: but?14:56
metelliusyou're just setting a cmake variable in the cmake build14:57
apacheloggerlibzip is using cmake? Oo14:57
metelliusnono14:57
metelliusmy solution is not about touching libzip, but my app, ark14:57
metelliusand just enabling a cmake var which i think might already be in 4.1.1 sources14:57
apacheloggerstdin: we need an ubuntu plugin to generate svn revision urls15:00
* apachelogger diggs through his todos, seraching his sponsoring list15:02
apacheloggermetellius: btw, is batch stuff in trunk finished yet?15:02
stdinapachelogger: what do you mean?15:04

apacheloggerok15:05

apacheloggerstdin: if ubutto was running ruby I would make you a patch :P15:07
stdinwell, it's supybot, and supybot sux0rs massively :p15:08
apacheloggerrbot ftw!15:09
asfakare we going to have window partition automount in final kubuntu release as Ubuntu ?15:10
apacheloggermetellius: you should make that if somewhat proper implemented :P15:10
apacheloggerasfak: automount?15:10
apacheloggeror maybe that cmake thingy is proper15:11
apacheloggercertainly looks uncmakish to me15:11
asfakapachelogger, i cannot access my windows drive from dolphin though i could see them as a user. I never had such problem in ubuntu. if i kdesudo dolphin, i could access all win partition. This is very irritating.15:13
apacheloggerdidn't we have that in KDE 3?15:14
apacheloggerasfak: what happens when you try accesing the partition in dolphin?15:15
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: nothing happens, just nothing. It used to work too15:15
apacheloggercool15:15
apacheloggeranything in .xsession-errors?15:15
asfaki could see them but could not access drive. But as root i could. this happens in two pc15:15
apacheloggerasfak: define not access15:16
* apachelogger can't even start dolphin with kdesudo15:16
JontheEchidnauh15:17
JontheEchidnaif you go to the windows partition with kdesudo15:17
asfaki could not see any file when clicking C_Drive or D_drive. Nothing happens.15:17
JontheEchidnait mounts, and then you can go to it as a regular user15:17
JontheEchidnanothing in xsession-errors btw15:17
apacheloggerhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/43355/15:18
JontheEchidnaa patch is causing our problems?15:19
JontheEchidnayay for evil patches15:19
apacheloggera patch should be solving it!15:19
JontheEchidnaoh15:19
asfakyes that is a new problem but occassionally it opens. it opened yesterday with sudo dolphin from konsole but not now.15:20
JontheEchidnabbiab15:20
apacheloggerluckily this patch includes less debugging than my wall15:20
apachelogger+    return "kdesu";15:21
apacheloggerquestion is really whether this would include libexec as possibe binary location15:21
asfaki get this error while sudo dolphin15:22
asfak<unknown program name>(6680)/: Communication problem with  "dolphin" , it probably crashed.15:22
asfakError message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "15:22
apacheloggerwhere?15:22
apacheloggeror when15:22
apacheloggerhaha, dolphin is also talking a lot :P15:23
asfakapachelogger, could u sudo dolphin from konsole ?15:24
apacheloggera) no sudo for gui apps15:24
apacheloggerb) as stated earlierit doesn't work15:24
asfaki have been using that way since alpha4. It can open konqueror. Yesterday i started dolphin that way. This is just recent problem. To try just opened konqueror as root15:27
asfakapachelogger, i could sudo all gui apps except dolphin15:28
apachelogger!sudo15:29
ubottusudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE)15:29
apachelogger!kdesu15:29
ubottuIn KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)15:29
asfakmake myself more clear. kdesudo konqueror - ok, kdesudo kate - ok, kdesudo dolphin - open and freezed.15:32
* apachelogger doesn't follow the problem anymore15:34
=== Czessi__ is now known as Czessi
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: so qyoto should be ok to re-enable in kde4bindings for Hardy?15:38
metelliusapachelogger: = harald?15:39
asfakanyway back to main point, are developers concious of window partition automount problem. ? Please do something about that.15:40
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: if it builds15:41
apacheloggermetellius: yes15:41
metelliusnorway?15:41
apacheloggernay, austria :P15:41
metelliusoh.15:41
metelliusmy name's harald too, but i'm norwegian15:42
apacheloggerhehe :)15:42
metelliusbut what did you mean by implement proper abovce?15:42
apacheloggermetellius: IMHO it should be a cmake cache option bound to that if15:43
metelliusI don't know how to do that ...15:43
metelliusanyways15:44
apacheloggermetellius: well, it doesn't matter because the solution is temporary15:44
apacheloggerbut better don't let aleXXX look at your cmake files ;-)15:44
metelliusI'm suspecting that all distros have the same libzip problem, so I'm considering enabling that option by default and instead taking user input to disable the quickfix15:45
apacheloggerthen you should definitely use a cache option15:46
nixternalhola15:46
apacheloggermetellius: e.g.: set (KDE_DEFAULT_HOME ".kde" CACHE STRING "The default KDE home directory" )15:46
nixternalkmail-kde4 is kind of sloppy still15:47

seeleso much for testing a new default16:02
JontheEchidnaI just had a user in #kubuntu-kde4 say that setting icon sizes for toolbars doesn't apply in most applications16:02
JontheEchidnaI think that if you have custom-set settings for toolbars that the global settings won't apply at all16:03
apacheloggerthat was what I was flaming about yesterday16:03

metelliusa side effect is that because the struct is misread all files in a zip are marked as being password protected (!)16:07

Tonio_Riddell: any idea how to get the xdg desktop folder name ?18:28
Tonio_Riddell: no xdg util doing this18:29
Tonio_Riddell: the desktop folder name should probably be an env variable or something18:29
RiddellQDesktopServices should do it18:29
Tonio_Riddell: the point is that I don't really know where to patch in fact....18:29
Tonio_hard to do except is startkde sets the env or something18:30
Tonio_then I can patch the kcfg file to use it18:30
Tonio_Riddell: maybe patching kstandarddirs or something...18:30
Tonio_Riddell: afaics env variables are set by kded18:31
Tonio_Riddell: patching kded to provide the env variable and the kcfg file to use the env by default, is that correct to you ?18:31
Riddellthe environment variable is in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs18:31
Tonio_Riddell: it is not exported in the session in fact18:33
Tonio_Riddell: that's my concern18:33
Riddelldoesn't need to be, KDE should use QDesktopServices18:33
Riddellbut I've no idea what it actually does use18:34

Tonio_Riddell: I can patch kde to source the user-dirs.dirs file and export the variables18:47
Tonio_Riddell: then patch the kcfg file to user the env18:48
Tonio_Riddell: does this sound correct way to proceed for you ?18:48
Tonio_sounds correct for me18:48
Tonio_Riddell: xdg variables should be exported btw no reason not to do so18:49
Riddellstill seems better to use QDesktopServices, always better to reuse an existing class18:50
