Tm_Tlooks like if I like to have KDE3 in intrepid I have to (re)compile it myself09:12
_Simeis 8.10 beta reasonably stable? should I try upgrading my laptop to it?09:54
jussi01_Sime: wrong place to ask - try #ubuntu+1 :)10:01

Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: ping12:38
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: pong12:38
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: I think kgrubeditor's package is missing a .desktop file12:38
Artemis_Fowlapachelogger: it installs fine under System Settings but won't appear in the menu12:39
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: Tonio dropped it12:39
Artemis_Fowlwhy?12:39
apacheloggerif Tonio was writting more useful changelog entries I could tell you12:40
apacheloggerhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kgrubeditor12:40
apachelogger0.8.1-0ubuntu212:40
Artemis_Fowlhmm12:42
Artemis_Fowlactually I wouldn't notice it but some GNOME user reported that he couldn't find it anywhere12:42
Artemis_Fowland indeed unless you have system settings or know the "kcmshell4 kgrubeditor" command, you can't start it...12:43
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: next time you see Tonio, poke him in the nose or something12:44
* apachelogger leaves his plasma broken and fixes kgrubeditor12:44
Artemis_Fowl^^12:44
apacheloggerArtemis_Fowl: maybe you should add a NotShowIn=KDE;?12:46
apacheloggerseeing how the desktop file is redundant anyway12:46
Artemis_Fowlsure12:48
Artemis_Fowlbut for the time being you can patch it, right?12:48
apacheloggerdoing that right now12:51
Artemis_Fowlok12:51
Tonio_Riddell: have you consider communicating arround kolab server ?13:40
Tonio_Riddell: by default it uses kontact as main client, and seems to be one of the very best groupwares available13:40
Tonio_Riddell: N Barcet is looking forward to have prepackaged groupwares availables through the vms.... mybe we should consider looking at kolab and kontact at some points....13:41

nielsslotcan someone here tell me why i'm getting this ( http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/9814/kubuntukickoffdrawbugsp0.png ) for 0.5 seconds when opening kick-off in kubuntu 8.10 beta?15:04
Riddellnielsslot: oxygen theme likes to do that sometimes if it has x drivers it doesn't like to talk to15:05
nielsslotwhat x drivers specifically?15:07
rgreeninggood day all15:08
rgreeningRiddell: I see that regularly with my Intel GME15:09
rgreeningnielsslot ^15:10
nielsslotthe screenshot is from vmware..15:10
nielsslotand i've seen it on nvidia, intel and ati15:10
nielsslotbut it only happens the first time i open kickoff in a session15:10
rgreeningThere is an open bug at KDE15:10
nielsslotfunny thing is that i've only seen it in kubuntu, opensuse and fedora are fine in vmware15:11
rgreeningif you look closely, I'm sure you will see it with other menus that open.15:11
nielssloti have..15:11
rgreeningDo opensuse and fedora have ozone theme and do they have effects enabled when you try this?15:12
rgreeningjust to make sure we are comparing the same15:13
nielssloteffects doesn't matter15:13
nielsslotand at least fedora has ozone..15:13
nielssloti've tried fedora snapshot (build of yesterday i think)15:14
nielsslotand from opensuse version 11.0, cd dvd from akademy15:14
nielsslothttp://img515.imageshack.us/img515/6707/kubuntuplasmamenudrawbueg8.png << the same with the right click menu on a plasma taskbar15:14
nielsslotrgreening: do you have the nummer of the bug open at kde?15:20
rgreeningnot off hand.. it's in this channel log from yesterday though...15:20
nielsslotcan i find that somewhere?15:21
Riddellhttp://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/10/11/%23kubuntu-devel.html15:21
nielsslotthanks15:21
Riddellcan't see anything from a quick search15:21
nielsslotme neither..15:23
Riddellnielsslot: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16910615:24
ubottuKDE bug 169106 in general "Rendering glitches for dialog, windows, contexts etc " [Normal,Unconfirmed]15:24
nielsslotsounds like my bug..15:26
nielsslotnext to windows i've also seen it on window borders.. really weird..15:26
Riddellhmm, twitter plasmoid seems crashy16:11
apacheloggersmarter said that yesterday as well16:15
apacheloggeruh16:16
apacheloggeroh my, landscape-common depends on update-motd which runs a cron every 10 minutes16:16
apacheloggerlandscape--16:16
Riddellis that bad?16:17
apacheloggerunnecessary16:18
apacheloggerwhich makes landscape even more undefaulty16:19
Riddellbut what's wrong with it?16:19
RiddellI find update-motd quite interesting16:19
apacheloggerRiddell: what for?16:19
* apachelogger doesn't like stuff that floods his logs16:19
Riddellfor moderately interesting information when logging in at a terminal16:20
* apachelogger doesn't like it by default16:21
apacheloggermaybe kmail and nepomuk should also expose some information at login16:21
apacheloggerwould be pretty much the same :P16:22
apacheloggeranyway16:22
apacheloggerhow to debug pam?16:22
* jtechidna sets up his forum.kde.org account16:28
* apachelogger is not going to get an account until it got openid support :P16:30
apacheloggerewww16:40
apacheloggerPAM no modules loaded for `kde' service16:52
* apachelogger is wondering why kcheckpass tries to load kde instead of kcheckpass16:53
apachelogger~twitter kcheckpass + pam + apachelogger = bad idea16:53
kubotuincorrect usage, ask for help using 'kubotu: help twitter'16:53
apachelogger~twitter update kcheckpass + pam + apachelogger = bad idea16:53
kubotustatus updated16:53
apacheloggerjtechidna: btw, please focus on finding fixable stuff16:54
* apachelogger thinks lp user usr needs a spell checker16:55

ScottKrgreening: You mean they aren't covered in snow yet?17:35
rgreeninghahahah!17:35
rgreeningno snow on the Avalon peninsula (yet)17:35
rgreeningsoon though... weeks away17:36
rgreeningI think I will have a new recruit to teach the way of patching and packaging in the next couple of days. He really wants to learn.17:37
jtechidnaapachelogger will make sure he never learns how to patch :P17:38
apacheloggerno no17:38
rgreeninglol. I'm gonna show him pbuilder17:38
apacheloggerhe needs to learn the ways of the force17:38
rgreeningand be done with it17:38
rgreening:P17:38
apacheloggerbut the dark side he has to avoid17:39
rgreeningOh yeah, he's a star wars \fan too17:39
apacheloggerperfect17:39
rgreeningAnyway, I'm going to get him setup with lp, wiki, the forums, etc. He's been only using Linux for about 1 year, and has zero programming which I will help him with17:40
rgreeningI figure getting him to work on bug validation/reporting is a good start...17:41
jtechidnagood luck, we always need more minions to help the rebellion against the Galactic Ubuntu Empire17:41
jtechidna:P17:41
rgreeningI agree. :>17:42

jtechidnaI didn't really see that article cite any sources besides previous articles from that website...17:57
rgreeninghehe17:57
rgreening"im not paranoid, they really are out to get me"17:58
rgreeningcan we get launchpad.net to re-direct ot edge.launchpad.net or make the Google maps api work correctly. If I go to launchpad.net with Konqueror, it balks and will not show the map. Going to edge.launchpad.net works correctly.18:02
apacheloggerjtechidna, rgreening: any workspace changes that need upload?18:05
jtechidnanone that I can think of at the moment18:05
rgreeninghmm... I passed off something the other day. 1sec...18:06
rgreeningapachelogger: you already did the one I sent you correct? to remove the kwin branch18:07
apacheloggeryes18:07
rgreeningif so, that's it for now for me18:07
rgreeningk18:07
apacheloggerk, just uploading the pam fix then18:07
* jussi01 walks in and tacklehugs the channel :D18:08
rgreeningis there something else I can work on over the next day?18:08

rgreeningjtechidna: hmm. anything specific that was happening at that time?18:09
jtechidnargreening: nothing that really pops up18:10

jtechidnaoh, doh XP18:10
rgreening:)18:10
rgreeningStart closing icons in the system tray for me. and see if any show up that weren't there before.18:11
rgreeningI bet there may be18:11
jtechidnakmail and kmix gone, no new icons18:12
jtechidnaI still have a reboot icon there from the last kernel upgrade18:12
jtechidnamaybe that has something to do with it?18:13
rgreeningjtechidna: shouldn't18:13
rgreeningclose everything else18:13
rgreeningbut that18:13
jtechidnaok, brb then18:14
JontheEchidnaNope, nothing18:15
rgreeningJontheEchidna: hmm... I have sometimes18:18
rgreeningseen this when an app gets stuck and doesn't show up in the tray18:19
rgreeningIt may be that the qtimer or sleep in the update-notifier-kde is not long enough. was your system under any load at the time?18:20
rgreeninga load can cause this18:20
rgreeningI believe18:20

HalphaZhello19:41
HalphaZis there a howto to make deb packages of kde4 starting from source code?19:42
JontheEchidnahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete19:42
HalphaZthankisi!!!19:42
HalphaZwhy a howto page is AES protected?19:44
HalphaZhttps19:44
smarterbecause you can login in wiki.ubuntu.com with a password19:50
smarteralso, if you already know how to do some packaging, you can apt-get source any kde app and see how it's done19:50
smarterbasically, we use cdbs with "include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/kde4.mk" and voilĂ .19:51
apacheloggerI actually think it's ssl'ed because we have a security obsession ever since it turned out our openssh keys were not as random as we thought they were :P19:55
