seeleRiddell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49480/00:24
seeleRiddell: should set default win size for first time running, when the app closes it will set it as the new default and the kde control module entry will remove itself00:24
seeleRiddell: there are a few apps that still don't obey the global icon setting, i'll fix that next00:25
Riddellseele: mm, you've been busy :)00:26
seeleRiddell: omg it took me forever to figure it out too.. but i'm glad i found this way instead of fifteen rc files00:27
seeleRiddell: we'll still need to replace a few rc files for the apps that don't obey the global setting, and i think there are a few apps that are better off as icon only (like konq)00:27
Riddellkonq is buggy for that, I think on restore it adds text to the icons00:29
Riddellto the toolbars I mean00:29
Riddellseele: kwinrulesrc uploading01:07
Riddelltime to snooze01:07

txwikingerwell..it is the time to do it over there ;D01:14
goatsocksseele: some kde4 apps' default css stylesheets are prioritizing MS fonts ("arial", "verdana") over "sans", "sans-serif", or "monospace"... since msttcorefonts is a multiverse package shouldn't all explicit references to MS fonts be replaced with the generic names "sans" etc.?02:28
goatsocksseele: see: grep --include "*css" -Iri font /usr/share/kde4/* | grep family02:29
seelegoatsocks: hmm?02:34
goatsocksseele: for example, ktorrent's web interface serves up a css file that will tell your browser to use MS verdana or MS arial over DejaVu or whatever free font the user has chosen globally in KDE02:38
goatsocksif the user doesn't have msttcorefonts installed that's no problem, it'll default to "sans" (which in my case maps to DejaVu Sans), however i don't think hard-coding MS fonts is a good idea02:39
seeleoh, you mean in terms of the spacing being off?02:40
seelebut that shouldnt have changed from alpha 4 to 5 to 6, everything i tested were default installs02:40
goatsocksMS fonts render badly with freetype under Qt02:40
goatsocks(plus they're proprietary)02:41
goatsocksso let's say i've picked DejaVu Sans in System Settings as my global default app font02:41
goatsocksktorrent's web interface serves up a page that forces MS fonts first, and only if MS fonts are absent will it try my KDE global default DejaVu Sans02:42
goatsocksi could tell my browser to always use my custom fonts, but that kind of ignores the problem02:43
seeleah, well i'm not too concerned if someone is going to change the defaults.  if they can configure that, then they can probably deal with slight abnormalities which are equaly easy to fix02:44
seeleit only becomes a problem when a lot of people are doing the same thing and we can find a way of preventing it in a nice way02:45
seelebut i think must kubuntu users who arent uber power users just use it out of box02:45
apacheloggerArby: were you logged in?02:45
* apachelogger is pretty sure one can reopen bugs as normal users on bko02:45
apacheloggerwel02:46
apacheloggerl02:46
goatsocksyeah they're changeable, i still think they're bad (as in bad taste) defaults though... i'll probably file a bug with some patches ;)02:46
apacheloggerGood morning everyone02:46
goatsockshi apachelogger02:46
seelegoatsocks: you mean using MS fonts in the style cheet?02:46
goatsocksseele: yeah02:46
seeleyeah i agree, especially in an os that is so finicky about pure oss02:47
seeleer, distribution even02:47
goatsockspersonally i think setting specific fonts should be removed from the CSS spec, you should only be able to set generic font families like sans-serif, serif, and monospace02:49
* goatsocks hates when "fancy" websites make assumptions about my fonts02:49
seeleeven then is a lot of control by the app.. they shouldnt be setting any font sizes or styles, it should be consistent with the environment02:49
apacheloggerjtechidna: that is actually pretty sad02:49
seelea label should be the same size and style as all the other labels and not different for one app02:50
apacheloggerjtechidna: I wonder if we should backport 4.1 to gutsy ;-)02:50

apacheloggerjtechidna: I absolutely don't agree on closing kpdf bugs15:01
jtechidnaeh?15:01
apacheloggerIIRC recent versions of kpdf were using poppler15:01
apacheloggerso assuming a lot of the issues are actually in the backend anyway closing doesn't make sense here15:02
apacheloggerbesides, okular relies on the same basis anyway I think15:02
jtechidnawell, they were caused by patches to kpdf, apparently15:02
jtechidnaor so sez upstream15:03
apacheloggerjtechidna: upstream used to be grumpy because of the amount of bugs in it's product ;-)15:04
jtechidnahehe, I saw from the bug reports15:05
apacheloggerit's your call anyway, I am just suggesting that an investigation probably makes sense because all the floss pdf readers relay on the same basis one way or another15:06
jtechidnaI guess it wouldn't hurt to ask if it was still happening in Intrepid15:06
jtechidnaHmm, I think we should steal Opensuse's patches for panel autohiding and kwin cube15:07

apacheloggerthey both don't have QA15:07
apacheloggerwe really can't include fancy stuff we don't get the basics right *cough* kaffeine *cough*15:08
jtechidnahmm, your opinion of kaffine is "special" right?15:08
apacheloggeryes, but that is unrelated to my opinion on how the codec installer problem was handled15:09
jtechidnaoh yeah, we did have a codec installer. I bet that doesn't work with install-package15:09

apacheloggerRiddell: no.20:04
apacheloggerjtechidna: do you know of a bug about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-translators/2008-September/001676.html20:04
RiddellI don't know what it would be reported on anyway, I think a grump e-mail to the rosetta developers would be best20:05
jtechidnathere have been several reports about sparse translation20:05

apacheloggerit's difficult enough to deploy a reasonable quality :/20:07
apacheloggerLex79: I like ... a lot20:08
apacheloggerArby: yes, kdepim-kde4-dbg in hardy I guess20:09
Arbythanks20:09
jtechidnaso what's the issue, don't the l10n files contain all the upstream translations?20:09
Lex79apachelogger: It would be nice in systemsettings.... as kgrubeditor20:10
apacheloggerLex79: you should get in touch with the developer and suggest a cooperation with us, ask him if he'd like to attend a meeting20:10
Lex79yep20:12
apacheloggerjtechidna: from what I understand: when the package gets built on the buildd it also creates a .pot file which gets imported into rosetta, then ubuntu pulls the actually language packs from rosetta20:12
jtechidnathat's stupid, Ubuntu should just coperate with upstream if it wants better translations20:13
Riddellit's not as simple as that, upstream is dozens or hundreds of projects including some with very poor transltion infrastructure and some with only very geeky translation infrastructure (like KDE using SVN)20:15
Riddellwe also change and add our own strings and applications20:16
Riddellas all distros do20:16
* jtechidna doesn't know much about translations...20:17
* Arby finishes reading the e-mail20:18
Arbythat's ... not good20:18
apacheloggerRiddell: I think KDE could be interested in rosetta, once it's FLOSS and got more reasonable QA20:21

Arbywhat's the best course of action for bug 246244 ?21:31
ubottuLaunchpad bug 246244 in kdepim "networkmanager kmail and online status" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/24624421:31
Arbybasically seems to be that kmail and knetwork manager don't play nice together21:32
apacheloggerArby: I think solid should take care of this really21:36
Arbyso the longer term solution is that knetworkmanager goes away and solid handles all the kmail --> network status interaction?21:37
Arbyso what do I do with that bug, close, ignore, reassign to a different package.21:38
Arby?21:38
Arby233910 is another good one21:40
Arbykind of hard to reproduce21:40
Arbykmail seems to be odd like that, some people have a nightmare with it, it's always been rock solid for me21:41
Arbywhile I'm at it, apachelogger, should bug 228214 just go straight upstream?21:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 228214 in kdepim "kde sieve ioslave incorrectly reports "protocol error" when given quoted strings during authentication" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22821421:43

apacheloggersolid is talking to networkmanager21:44
apacheloggerknetworkmanager as well21:44
apacheloggerkmail talks to solid21:44
apacheloggerso in a way kmail talks to networkmanager and knetworkmanager ;-)21:44
Arbyok, once I get below desktop level my knowledge is very weak21:45
* rgreening say "latest knetworkmanager needs too much work to be useful for Intrepid and wireless"21:45
Arbyframeworks and interprocess gubbins make my brain bleed21:45
* Lex79 is back.21:49
apacheloggerLex79: turn off global back messages as well21:49
Lex79ok :)21:50
Lex79sorry21:50
apacheloggerLex79: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-experimental/+archive I guess we need to determine which external tools are required21:50
apachelogger...if you want to do that.... ;-)21:50
Lex79yes yes21:50
jtechidnaapachelogger: why are we wanting to remove the zoom out button again?21:50
Lex79:)21:50
apacheloggerjtechidna: definitely21:50
jtechidnawhy?21:50
apacheloggercrashy21:51
apacheloggerno real functionality21:51
apacheloggerno predefined other stuff21:51
apacheloggernot even wallpaper21:51
* jtechidna wants containment/virtual desktop affinity21:51
apacheloggercouple of issues (in some cases the containments are on top of each other)21:52
jtechidnain 4.1.1?21:52
apacheloggeryes21:52
apacheloggerthe cashew is still scaling with the containment21:52
apacheloggerupon crashes plasmas sometimes adds new containments which also are on top of each other21:53
apachelogger....21:53
jtechidnahmm, I'm not getting all of that21:53
apacheloggerwell21:53
apacheloggerone is already too much21:53
apacheloggerjtechidna: checkout the new batcave header21:53
apacheloggeruber sweet I say21:53
goatsocksdon't disable the feature outright... just relabel the "zoom out" button to "don't click this"21:53
jtechidnayeah, I saw it21:53
jtechidnalol21:53
goatsocksthat way when people click it and file bugs you can automatically close them21:54
jtechidnawell, removing it would stop bug reports in the first place21:54
apacheloggerbig time saver21:54
apacheloggerthen again21:54
apacheloggerreporting a bug about it would require the possibility to zoom back in21:55
apacheloggerI imagine some people might have problems with that21:55
goatsocksis removing upstream features a nice thing to do though? i mean, how much "KDE" is a Kubuntu user getting when they decide they want KDE as a desktop? certainly removing features is not what upstream intended21:55
apacheloggergoatsocks: it's not a feature21:55
goatsocksupstream ships it21:55
apacheloggerit's a big annoyance aseigo just doesn't want to remove despite the fac that it is useless, confusing and dangerous21:56
goatsocksjust as they shipped 4.0 with a ton of half-finished features21:56
goatsocksi agree they made a bad decision21:56
Arbyapachelogger: did you move the batcave? my bookmarks seem to be broken21:56
jtechidnaIt'll be useful in 4.2 if containment -> virutal desktop mapping gets in21:56
goatsocksi'm just wondering about the purity of Kubuntu's KDE distribution... where do you draw the line with modifications?21:56
jtechidnaArby: yes, the location was revealed in an emergency upload session so we had to change it21:56
Arbyah I see21:57
apacheloggermaybe we should get a batlist?21:57
jtechidnayet another mailing list?21:57
goatsockssurely you'll reach a point where you've made so many modifications to the expected behavior of upstream that users will be filing bugs on that too21:57
apacheloggerjtechidna: well, it certainly improves in-between-release communication21:58
apacheloggergoatsocks: doubtable, still then we can close it as wont fix :P21:58
apacheloggerthat is basically what suse does21:58
goatsocksheh well suse is a known KDE-perverter21:59
jtechidnaheh, the power of wont fix21:59
apacheloggersuse is a patch perverter21:59
goatsockswhen you install suse, you know you're getting something upstream never intended ;)21:59
jtechidnathey killed their initial 4.1.1 packages with a feature backport from trunk21:59
jtechidnawell, they killed compositing21:59
apacheloggerhm21:59
apacheloggergoatsocks: same with kubuntu21:59
apacheloggerI doubt KDE ever intended the desktop to work :P22:00
jtechidnabut everybody knows compositing is next to clocks in importance22:00
apacheloggerclocks \o/22:00
Riddelljtechidna: killed compositing?22:00
goatsocksbut i'm wondering about this, because i have a bunch of patches here to remove CSS prioritizing of MS fonts from KDE packages, and i wonder if that goes too far in subverting upstream22:00
jtechidnaRiddell: with their first packages they backported the untested self-composite-check feature from trunk22:01
apacheloggergoatsocks: that goes too far in subverting the websites really22:01
jtechidnaRiddell: the test always failed, preventing compositing from working22:01
Riddelljtechidna: to be fair, suse also implemented compositing in KDE22:01
apacheloggerjtechidna: well, we uploaded a wrong kdelibs :P22:01
Riddellso it's theirs to break you could say :)22:01
goatsocksapachelogger: these stylesheets are for apps actually, some of them are served via web interfaces22:01
jtechidnaya, but we're talking about patch perversion22:02
apacheloggergoatsocks: oh well, they are patches :P22:02
jtechidnabtw, how did you get a 4.1.0 tarball with a 4.1.1 name anywayz? :P22:02
apacheloggergoatsocks: send them upstream22:02
goatsocksgoatsocks: not just CSS though, also for rc files22:02
goatsocksand why am i talking to myself22:02
* jtechidna does that from time to time^22:02
rgreeningIt's really4.1.1 not just 4.1.122:02
* rgreening lends goatsocks an ear22:03
apacheloggerjtechidna: kde got bz2 tarballs :P22:03
jtechidnaah, that'd do it22:03
jtechidnais there a batgz script yet?22:03
