Riddellseele: poke00:01
seelei'm here i'm here00:08
seelesorry00:08
Riddellseele: #ubuntu-meeting00:08
mhbmmm, a meeting!00:11
mhbI wonder if old /me is welcome00:11
Riddellyou always are00:12
=== apachelogger changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Welcome to the Kubuntu developers channel | Meeting going on in #ubuntu-meeting everyone is welcome! Nightrose is going to hand out cookies after the meeting.
vorianapachelogger: pong00:37
apacheloggervorian: hey, how is the amd64 going?00:45
vorianpfft00:45
voriansucks00:45
voriani should have an iso sometime this weekend at the pace i'm going00:45
mhbah, I just remembered why I left.01:04
nixternalmhb: why's that?01:05
mhbbecause what you're promoting is not in a spirit of free software at all, it's basically vendor lock-in01:06
nixternalI am not...I agreed with you on your idea01:06
mhbmounting is by far older than any KIO slaves there is01:06
nixternalwe have a deadline to reach, and if we can't include a feature in that deadline, it doesn't get included01:07
nixternalbut that doesn't mean we don't want to include it01:07
mhbblindly promoting anything with K in its title will never go too far01:07
nixternalopinion, but OK01:08
goatsocksisn't that why people use kubuntu? ;)01:08
mhbthey do?01:08
* mhb doesn't01:08
mhbwell, I use Ubuntu with pekwm, and some KDE apps, and I call it Kubuntu out of nostalgia.01:08
mhbbut you go and replace unix with Kunix01:10
goatsocksuh, you're not using kubuntu, and you're suggesting that people who want the kde stack avoid "K" lock-in?01:11
mhbmy sister, who does use Kubuntu, and doesn't care a bit about KDE, would like to play some GTK games in there01:12
mhbif you keep doing decisions like this one, it won't be possible01:12
mhbbecause a GTK app wouldn't support the game:/ KIO slave or whatever01:13
goatsocksshe should use regular ubuntu then, if she doesn't care for kde... ubuntu is more integrated than the kde stack at present anyhow01:13
nixternalmhb: in the case of games, there is the gaming zone stuff that both kde and gnome are starting to use01:14
goatsocksi don't see the point in using something and then wanting it to be less of what it is ;)01:14
nixternalthere are still a lot of things that need to be via open standards or freedesktop01:14
mhbbecause of one game, you recommend switching to the other interface. great.01:14
mhbI really see a similarity between what you're doing and racist segregation01:15
mhbor sexism, if you want01:16
goatsockswhoa, hyperbole much?01:16
mhbthis is for the GTK, this is for the KDE, and you dare mix those01:16
mhbjust great01:16
nixternalhow about "this is for the windows" and "this is for the mac"01:16
mhbnixternal: right, like firefox, or Pidgin.01:17
mhbwait...01:17
nixternalit is going to happen no matter what, otherwise we don't have competition let alone coopetition01:17
mhbno01:17
nixternalboth very bad examples as I totally despise them both01:17
mhband you have a logical argument for that, not just your taste, I'm sure.01:18
mhbI like the idea of KIO slaves, I just hate when you push stupid ideas like that one forward.01:18
nixternalyes01:18
mhbI'm sure racism worked, too.01:19
nixternalstupid --more-- in irssi01:19
mhbfor some01:19
nixternalit works here, I hate white people01:19
goatsocksmhb: heh, just get it over with and bring in the nazi card too ;)01:19
* goatsocks puts on his brown shirt and marches to the KDE drums01:19
nixternallol01:20
mhbI don't do that.01:20
mhbthe bad guy is me, Don Quixote.01:20
mhbfighting against wrong decisions.01:21
goatsocksbecause bikeshedding is fun ;)01:21
nixternalmhb: wrong decisions would be wrong if there wasn't a correct solution...and in many cases, there is yet a correct solution, or someone with the skill and time to create the correct solution01:22
nixternalsome of your ideas, I wish you would ease up on, sit down, and put it to work, as you have many great ideas01:22
nixternalbut I think complaining about a choice w/o helping the cause helps anyone much01:22
nixternalannoys many, that I do know01:22
mhbI know.01:24
mhbBut don't worry, I'll give up on that and get back to computer science, where there's no corporate decisions and policies.01:24
mhbThat's why I love it.01:24
nixternalwhat do you do when computer science is over and it is back on to corporate decisions and policies?01:25
nixternalwhere I work, we have people that have all of those insanely great ideas as you do, but they take it from an idea and make it a reality...that's what you need to do, a breakout moment if you will01:25
goatsocksnah, he wants an academic career ;)01:26
mhbthinking about it, at least.01:26
mhbI really dislike vendor lock-in. Internet Explorer destroyed innovation on the Web for several years just because it came bundled with Windows, then earned a lot of user share, then stopped evolving and everyone had to optimize just for it.01:27
mhbKIO slaves work like that, too.01:27
mhbAny non-KDE app that is great won't make it to default Kubuntu just because it doesn't support some KDE-centric technology.01:28
goatsocksi think you're missing the nature of the linux ecosystem compared to MS stuff... if your distro sucks, grab another distro, or another, or another... if your desktop environment sucks, try another, or another... many choices with linux01:29
nixternalwe are KDE based, as Ubuntu is Gnome based, and every other distro does the same, except for OpenSUSE and Yast :P01:29
mhbAnd speaking about using what's done - disabling KIO slaves or moving them to background and just prefer mounting and mountconfig is not something that cannot be done.01:29
mhbis something that can be done, for people having trouble with my double negative :o)01:30
mhbI always felt Kubuntu, as a part of the Ubuntu family, should do the most to bring KDE and GNOME technology together, not separate them.01:31
mhbIn a way, decisions like this one undermine my work on unified backends for several Ubuntu apps.01:31
mhbNo wonder I'm agitated.01:32
nixternalthe only gnome technology I want is Tomboy01:33
nixternalminus the c# crap of course01:33
goatsocksi was a gnome user for a few years and i finally just weaned myself off of tomboy and found kjots an agreeable replacement01:34
goatsocksso no mono stack on my system anymore01:34
goatsocksi tried zim, but man that was even buggier than tomboy01:34
mhbwell, sorry to be a bother.01:34
mhbenjoy the rest of the meeting.01:35
goatsocksmhb: you just have novel ideas about kubuntu that don't agree with its actual mission ;)01:35
mhbgoatsocks: I'm sure I must seem to you like a complete stranger that just comes in and complains.01:36
mhband I guess that's what I am.01:36
nixternalcomplete stranger? nah :P01:37
mhbNobody reall cares about what you do.01:37
mhbNot even here.01:37
mhbI can't really justify developing anything that nobody even notices.01:38
mhbUnless it's just for me.01:38
goatsockswhat have you developed that we should notice?01:39
mhbNothing.01:39
goatsocksperhaps that's why we didn't notice? ;)01:39
mhbI guess you're right.01:40
yuriygoatsocks: he's developed or worked on several kubuntu utilities01:40
mhbWell, I tried, but nobody noticed, so I stopped.01:41
mhbNot even the silly release announcement.01:41
ryanakca13:00UTC on Saturday should be good here...01:41
nixternalworks for me ryanakca and apachelogger01:42
goatsocksmhb: you may be doing it for the wrong reasons then imo... for instance, i'm currently hacking on software-properties-kde not because i'm trying to get noticed or i'm some generous dude, but because the current state of it got under my skin and i decided if i wasn't gonna do something about it nobody would01:42
ryanakcanixternal: okies, see you then. I've never done any marketing, but I'm willing to help out.01:42
JontheEchidnagoatsocks: even after my pykde4 love? :(01:43
JontheEchidnagoatsocks: it would have probably driven you mad before pykde4 :P01:43
goatsocksJontheEchidna: i'm rather pedantic and tend to see inconsistencies in UIs that escape others ;)01:43
nixternalryanakca: you have started with the website, so you are halfway there :)01:43
mhbgoatsocks: I never intended on getting noticed. But getting acknowledged and noticed is something different.01:43
ryanakca:)01:44
goatsocksmhb: well i do agree with you that simple acknowledgement is always nice01:44
mhbespecially for the work you do not do for yourself01:44
goatsocksmhb: so for what it's worth, thanks for your contributions ;)01:45
mhbyes, like you know them.01:45
goatsocksi don't, because you haven't told me what they were... yuriy apparently knows01:45
JontheEchidnagoatsocks: I did see some GUI-related low-priority bugs & Wishlists for software-props-kde in LP01:45
JontheEchidnagoatsocks: nitpicky type gui bugs01:45
goatsocksJontheEchidna: yeah the todo list i've compiled has turned out to be rather long01:45
mhbgood night01:46
apacheloggerryanakca, nixternal: roger01:48
apacheloggeremunkki: 13UTC saturday meeting about kubuntu marketing01:48
seeleRiddell: will s-c-p eventually be turned in to a kcm module?01:51
Riddellseele: yes that's the plan, when there's a way to do that with pyKDE401:52
nixternalOK, I am gonna try and get my girlyfriend to go out and eat with me now...if you need anything, hilight or msg me01:52
seeleRiddell: meaning it can't be yet?01:52
seeleor that it's just more work to do that isnt done yet01:52
Riddellseele: no, it's on Sime's todo list I believe01:52
Riddellseele: can't be done yet01:54
seeleNCommander: there is an ubuntu n800 project already but i didnt see porting for hary01:54
NCommanderseele, it targets arm, not armel01:54
NCommanderAnd arm as a port is dead in Debain01:54
seeleRiddell: hum.. another thing we should look at for jaunty is how much config is outside system settings and what can be easily converted to kcm01:54
JontheEchidnaseele: userconfig, jockey, and printer are the ones off the top of my head01:55
Riddellseele: say that in #u-m so I pick it up for the minutes :)01:55
seelei thought you were ending the meeting when irn-bru ran out01:56
RiddellNCommander: so ubiquity port to KDE01:58
NCommanderyes?01:58
RiddellNCommander: should be pretty easy to do, QApplication needs changed to KApplication, see any pykde app for an example of a KApplication01:58
Riddellsome examples are in kde4bindings source01:58
NCommanderoh yay, porting 3,000-ish LoC01:58
JontheEchidnamost of it is changing Q to K01:58
Riddellonly very small bits need ported01:59
Riddellthe icons is the other one01:59
JontheEchidnaand rearranging the arguments01:59
NCommanderso search replace Q with K ;-)?01:59
Riddelluse KIcon instead of the current messy loading01:59
Riddellthe rest should be fine as is01:59
JontheEchidnaNCommander: for example KMessageBox switches title and text arguments01:59
seeleRiddell: are they doing much with ubiquity anymore?  the partitioning ui is still a bit rough01:59
JontheEchidnaKIcon takes icon names rather than absolute paths01:59
RiddellNCommander: you can also see my talk at UbuntuDeveloperWeek for an example, alas nobody took me up on the idea of turning it into a techbase.kde.org tutorial01:59
* NCommander uses the SOURCE :-)02:00
goatsockswhat's the installer on the current intrepid cd?02:00
apacheloggeroh02:00
apacheloggeruh02:00
apacheloggeryou know02:00
apacheloggerthe most awesome feature for ubiquity would be a marble widget02:00
JontheEchidnayus02:00
apacheloggerwith zoom02:00
JontheEchidnayus++02:00
* seele sighs02:00
* NCommander will do the basic port, someone else can add eye candy02:00
Riddellseele: I don't know of any changes during the intrepid cycle, I should talk to evan and find out02:00
seeleapachelogger: we should fix partitioning before that!02:00
apacheloggernah02:00
apacheloggeraccessibility > usability02:00
seelebut but but it sucks!02:01
apacheloggerI have a couple of visually handicapped firends and they can't use the current map selector02:01
Riddellmarble is a large application apart from anything else, wouldn't fit on the CD02:01
apacheloggerand choosing the time zone in the drop down is a PITA02:01
apacheloggerRiddell: maybe we could strip it02:01
apacheloggermore of a target for jaunty anyway02:01
Riddellapachelogger: I'd volunteer you to do it but I know you won't, it's in python :)02:02
apacheloggerI could port it to C++02:02
JontheEchidnaif KOffice is ready for jaunty, that'd free up some disk space02:02
* apachelogger needs some small project before he can start on khelpcenter :)02:02
RiddellJontheEchidna: oh yes, that's a good point02:02
NCommanderapachelogger, so you'd rewrite d-i ;-)02:02
seeleapachelogger: do you know c++? :)02:03
apacheloggernot as well as ruby02:03
apacheloggerthat is the problem really ;-)02:03
NCommanderRiddell, how fast is your Nokia tablet?02:05
NCommanderoh wow, by join kubuntu-members, I'm going to get regular Ubuntu membership?02:07
JontheEchidna+ a nice IRC cloak02:08
NCommanderxubuntu?02:08
* NCommander is shot02:08
=== apachelogger changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Welcome to the Kubuntu developers channel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu/Todo
NCommanderBah, I think I need to install the NVIDIA drivers if I want decent performance out of KDE402:09
coreymon77NCommander: look at me, all i did was become a kubuntu member and i got all of what i have02:10
coreymon77i have used kubuntu and have been a part of the kubuntu community much more than ubuntu02:10
NCommanderthat's a lot of teams02:11
NCommanderI can shove my blog on Planet Ubuntu ;-)02:11
coreymon77whats a lot of teams?02:11
NCommanderUbuntu members, bug control, all the kubuntu teams aside from testers and council02:11
JontheEchidname is part of a bunch of teams too02:11
* NCommander has a long list of teams02:12
NCommanderman, ubiquty's bzr repo is HUGE02:12
* apachelogger has a groupie team :P02:12
apacheloggerwith 3 groupies02:12
NCommanderapachelogger, link?02:12
* apachelogger needs to buy more groopies02:12
* NCommander should see if someone should make a we-love-ncommander team02:13
* NCommander runs02:13
apacheloggerhttps://edge.launchpad.net/~we-love-harald02:13
coreymon77NCommander: im actually in a relatively small amount of groups02:13
NCommanderWHat is "Kubuntu's Most Experimental Packages"02:13
JontheEchidnaa place for us to dump pre-alpha software packages02:14
NCommanderShould I apply for that team?02:14
coreymon77how long have you used linux for?02:14
NCommanderSince 2.0 was released02:14
NCommander(kernel 2.0)02:14
coreymon77so you realize how unstable linux experimental things usually are02:15
apacheloggerlol02:15
NCommandercoreymon77, I do the alpha packaging for Xfce ;-)02:15
JontheEchidnacurrently we have firefox-qt mercurial snapshots02:15
coreymon77okay02:15
* NCommander is an Xunbtu Developer02:15
NCommander*Xubuntu even02:15
JontheEchidnaand mozilla-plugin-plasma02:15
apacheloggershould be updated both IMHO02:16
apacheloggeror02:16
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: did actually anything change in firefox-qt02:16
coreymon77its true though, even betas when it comes to linux are usually really beta02:16
apacheloggersomeone said the development stopped pretty much02:16
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: I haven't been following it. It became harder to follow after it was merged02:16
NCommanderapachelogger, your groupee team needs an icon02:16
* apachelogger is wondering to do about that02:17
NCommanderwow, I've been using Launchpad for over a year02:17
NCommanderbrb02:18
mcasadevallNow that I've installed the NVIDIA garbage, my system feels speeder02:25
=== mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
blizzzerm... how to convert a QString into a python string?02:29
blizzzurgs02:30
NCommandebah02:30
=== NCommande is now known as NCommander
blizzzshouldn't use str as variable name^^02:31
JontheEchidnablizzz: I think it'd be something like str(yourQString.gettext())02:33
blizzzJontheEchidna: it works with str(qstringthing), my mistake was to have a temp variable called str some lines before02:34
JontheEchidnacool02:34
blizzzthat explained the irritating error message as well :D02:34
blizzz-ed +s02:34
JontheEchidnawhatcha workin' on?02:35
blizzzJontheEchidna: something like a soccer ticker. i am parsing a website for this02:36
JontheEchidnakool02:36
JontheEchidnahopefully python plasmoid bindings will appear soon02:36
blizzzactually there is a working version, but since this was my very beginning with python and qt and pykde. i am rewriting it02:37
JontheEchidnayou could make a plasmoid out of it easy02:37
goatsocksJontheEchidna: there is now, if you count superkaramba ;)02:37
blizzzJontheEchidna: yeah i am desperately waiting for the bindings :)02:37
JontheEchidnahi jjesse02:40
jjessehello JontheEchidna02:40
jjesseso how is the wonderful world of kubutnu today?02:51
JontheEchidnagood02:54
JontheEchidnathe meeting went well02:54
jjessebummer that i missed it02:55
JontheEchidnaya, hopefully the Minutes Fairy will get the minutes up soon02:56
jjessehopefuly02:56
jjessei ate way too much at dinner tonight02:56
JontheEchidnaRiddell: so what's going to happen with desktop-effects-kde in Intrepid?02:56
JontheEchidnaLooking at the bugs it seems that it needs a ton of work to be usable at all in Intrepid02:57
apacheloggerRiddell: please remove kicker-compiz from intrepid02:57
jjesseare the bugs in launchpad?02:57
JontheEchidnabut we already have an easy-to-use desktop effects setup thingy, and as a bonus it's in systemsettings02:57
jjessefeisty, gutsy and hardy are the currently supported versions correct?02:58
apacheloggerRiddell: and kicker-taskbar-compiz02:58
voriancould we hack composite toggle to trigger compiz --replace?02:58
JontheEchidnajjesse: dapper is supported for a while too02:59
JontheEchidnauntil next year anway02:59
jjesseah yeah02:59
jjessewhat is the group "almost kubuntu bugs" in launchpad for?03:14
JontheEchidnajjesse: It's going to be kubuntu-bugs once we secure the group name03:18
jjesseoh03:18
JontheEchidnaIt will subscribe to all kubuntu-related bugs03:18
jjesseinteresting03:18
JontheEchidnaso you can get all kubuntu bugmail when you join03:18
Lex79hy guys, looks this please http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=plasmoid-cpuload, my first package...03:18
JontheEchidnaLex79: The work on your part looks good to me03:24
JontheEchidnaA few issues though03:24
JontheEchidnaIntrepid reached Feature Freeze the 28th of last month, meaning new packages will have a very hard time getting in03:24
JontheEchidnabut more importantly03:24
JontheEchidnaThe author hasn't licensed his code under the GPL, or any license for that matter03:24
JontheEchidnaThe author needs to add GPL headers to his .cpp and .h files, as well as include the full text of the GPL in the form of a file called COPYING03:25
JontheEchidnaThe packaging looks excellent though. ;-)03:25
goatsocksJontheEchidna: why does it need to be gpl specifically?03:26
JontheEchidnagoatsocks: It doesn't, I suppose03:26
JontheEchidnaany free license debian accepts will do03:26
Lex79uhm03:27
goatsocksso basically osi approved03:27
JontheEchidnabut currently, it ain't licensed by anything or even copyrighted by the author03:27
Lex79http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/cpuload?content=8662803:27
Lex79License: GPL03:27
Lex79but there isn't in source03:27
JontheEchidnaLex79: yes, that's basically the problem. In situations like these it's generally best to notify the author by email03:28
Lex79ok JontheEchidna03:28
JontheEchidnabtw, thanks for making the rebuild for plasmoid-wifi03:28
goatsocksi've had that prob with 3 or 4 apps i packaged for other distros and i always got a good response from the authors on licensing03:28
JontheEchidnaya, generally they respond quite well03:29
goatsocksnobody wants their code misappropriated ;)03:30
JontheEchidnaLex79: btw, apachelogger and vorian will usually do revus if you need them. :-) I would, but I'm not an motu yet03:31
Lex79ehehe JontheEchidna :)03:31
Lex79when update automoc4 to 0.9.87? :(03:33
Lex79some plasmoid needs03:33
JontheEchidnaugh, why do people keep posting superkaramba themes in the plasma section?03:36
JontheEchidnaLex79: automoc 0.9.87 is part of KDE 4.203:37
Lex79JontheEchidna: uff :(03:37
JontheEchidnaya :(03:38
JontheEchidnaHeh, looks like Oxygen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=ubuntudust.jpg03:40
Lex79is it gnome?03:42
JontheEchidnayeah, a proposed theme for Intrepid03:42
Lex79nice :)03:42
JontheEchidnayou know03:43
JontheEchidnayou could probably make KDE4 look very much like Gnome03:43
Lex79we hope for theme, I don't like gnome and human murrine, I use only kde ehehe :)03:46
jjessewhy do i need a landscape client?03:51
jjessei'm not using landscape03:51
jjesseseems silly03:52
* JontheEchidna just removed that03:54
jjessewhy would it be installed?03:54
JontheEchidnano clue how that got there03:55
Lex79guys, GPL in plasmoid-cpuload is in plasmoid-cpuload-0.1/data_engine/cpu_load.cpp and cpu_load.h04:01
Lex79http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1-incoming/plasmoid-cpuload-0809112050/plasmoid-cpuload-0.1/data_engine/04:02
Lex79but not here http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1-incoming/plasmoid-cpuload-0809112050/plasmoid-cpuload-0.1/plasmoid/04:02
Lex79LOL04:02
Lex79but there isn't COPYNG file, is the same?04:04
JontheEchidnaThe COPYING file is a copy of the whole license04:05
JontheEchidnathe .cpp and .h files just need the little bit where they say that the source is licensed with the GPL04:05
Lex79ah ok... the COPYNG file is needed for the package then?04:06
JontheEchidnathe author needs to include it in the tarball04:07
vorianhola04:07
Lex79JontheEchidna, ok thanks and sorry for my bad English ehehe :)04:08
JontheEchidnaYou're welcome04:09
* JontheEchidna uploads a pic of his kde4-gnome emulation04:09

vorianoh my04:11
vorianhe's using a vistaclone pannel04:12
JontheEchidnajust a bit of spacing issues on the top panel04:12
JontheEchidnathe applets seem to take all the space they can get04:13
Lex79JontheEchidna: your theme is "how to kill oxygen team" ?04:13
vorianthis is your screenshot JontheEchidna?04:13
Lex79:)04:13
JontheEchidnayes, I made this in 10 mins or so04:13

JontheEchidnaI did keep a backup of my regular, non-Vista/Gnome desktop04:14
voriandid you just you use a screenshot for your desktop?04:14
JontheEchidnanope04:15
JontheEchidnaI added 2 panels, got them down to 24 pixels high04:15
JontheEchidnathen threw widgets in them like they would be in Gnome04:15
vorianha04:15
JontheEchidnaThis, I believe, demonstrates the power of plasma quite well04:15
vorianwhich pannel theme is that?04:15
voriantis crazy04:15
JontheEchidnaArezzo04:15
vorianit looks like that vista clone for gnome04:16
JontheEchidnagoal was to emulate this oxygen clone: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=ubuntudust.jpg04:16
vorianthe bottom pannel give's away the kde-ness of it though04:16
vorianhaha04:16
voriannice04:16

apacheloggerserviceconfig is broken and useless11:36
ScottK-laptopOK.11:36
apacheloggermountconfig is useless11:36
apacheloggeruserconfig is getting replaced11:36
Githzeraigribelu: At this stage I think clean install is far better than upgrade, as there will be some mess with home dir config files. I did a clean install of alpha4 and i have a major problems only with kernel, nothing so buggy with kde.11:36
apacheloggerwineconfig got winecfg11:36
ScottK-laptopDo we have an alternative for mountconfig?11:36
NCommanderRiddell: well, obviously my python-foo sucks since I can't even get a debugger to work in the envrionment11:36

NCommanderRiddell: sweet :-)11:38
apacheloggergribelu: if you all just reinstall and go with a clean profile we have no chance to fix the issues for those who don't do a clean installation11:38
ScottK-laptopAnd then grubconfig is replaced by kgrubeditor, right?11:38
NCommanderRiddell: anyway, I'm going to pass on porting ubiquity, qemu runs poorly on this machine, and I don't know enough about -qt4/-kde4 to get anywhere11:39
gribeluapachelogger: after the upgrade i couldn't log into kde4 so used a clean .kde folder .. but i still have the old .kde and .kde4 i could try to see what's up with those too11:39
apacheloggerScottK-laptop: we had grubconfig? Though, yeah kgrubeditor replaces it. Fairly good testing reports according to seele.11:39
NCommanderRiddell: I did however commit my first shot at trying to bazaar, but it mostly is just Qt -> KDE API changes, it doesn't appear to work11:39

rgreeningjust checking to see if there are multiple releases in it.. 1 sec17:50
rgreeningI spoke with Helmut... seems he 'has no time' at the moment to work on KNM. So, I asked if he had any pointers. awaiting reply17:51
rgreeningRiddell: I see network-manager - 0.7~~svn20080908t183521+eni0-0ubuntu2~nm1 which is too new I believe...17:52
Riddellwhat's the knetworkmanager in there?17:54
rgreeningknetworkmanager - 1:0.7svn830754-0ubuntu1\17:55
Riddellthat's the one, don't know if it's kept the n-m that works with it though17:55
rgreeningnope. It would need to be older... just not sure how old though.... If I can get an approx date, I can svn co the rev number and diff against a newer one.. look for the changes in the API in NM17:56
rgreeninghmmm... I just looked on my system. I have a download of svn 20080720. Can't remember if that one worked...17:57

rgreeningso, It could mean nm-applet in Intrepid18:39

Riddellrgreening: look at turning off flash from using gtk-qt-engine?  I think it's causing problems18:46
Riddellrgreening: we had a patch in hardy which did that for the qt3 version, but now we have the qt4 version18:46
rgreeningok. point me to the patch. I'll see what I can do to update for Qt418:47

ScottKyuriy: The kde-guidance package got removed from the archive today.  It has a lot of open bugs, some of which apply to guidance-power-manager.19:35
ScottKyuriy: It might be good to have a triage effort focused on moving those either to wontfix or to guidance-power-manager.19:36
yuriysounds good. I'll see if I can set up somethign for 3.5.10 over the weekend. that's still needed rigth?19:37

Riddellrgreening: yes21:30
rgreeningkk21:30
Riddellpatch, not the debdiff21:30
Riddellrgreening: something slightly harder but not on the scale of network-manager.  scim-bridge-client-qt4 is the way to get qt 4 talking to scim, but if you install it and start an app without having scim installed it pauses for ages21:31
Riddell(or did in hardy, I havn't checked since then)21:32
rgreeningso it doesn't dep on scim?21:32
Riddellrgreening: so it doesn't have an annoying delay during application startup if you don't have scim installed21:33

JontheEchidnaRiddell: Currently if you launch Adept without admin powers if recommends to use sudo, which can be quite dangerous. I think we should patch Adept to recommend kdesudo be used to launch it instead of sudo.21:52
JontheEchidnaI would be willing to make such a patch21:53
RiddellJontheEchidna: we don't need to patch it, just talk to mornfall for inclusion in the next version21:54
JontheEchidnaRiddell: if I understand correctly debian doesn't have kdesudo21:55
