JontheEchidna"use krunner" ?13:54
JontheEchidnajust tell them to press alt+f2 ;-)13:54
apachelogger_use katapult13:55

ScottKapachelogger_: ?13:56
apachelogger_!info katapult14:08
ubottuPackage katapult does not exist in intrepid14:08
apachelogger_hm, apparently it got removed14:08
ScottKapachelogger_: Yes.  It's KDE3 only.  It looks like the alt-F2 thing is a reasonable replacement (not identical, so people will scream).14:12
JontheEchidnaI've heard good things about krunner from katapult users in #kubuntu14:14
seeleit does pretty much the same thing, it just looks a little different and i think the shortcuts are a littls different14:14
JontheEchidnabut then again I've heard good things about KDE4 there too ;)14:14
seeleyou have to type =1+2 instead of just 1+214:15
ScottKWould it make sense to have krunner 'replace' katapult in a packaging sense?  My upgraded system still had a non-working katapult installed after the upgrade.14:16
JontheEchidnaI suppose a conflict/replace on it in kdebase-workspace-bin would do the trick14:18
JontheEchidnawell technically it doesn't conflict14:18
ScottKNot sure.14:19
apachelogger_doesn't make sense14:19
apachelogger_krunner depends half of kdebase-workspace14:19
ScottKI do think finding a way to get non-working KDE3 stuff off of systems that upgrade is generically good.14:19
apachelogger_unlike katapult which only required kdelibs IIRC14:19
apachelogger_ScottK: update-manager would remove packages which were removed from the archives I think14:20
ScottKWell it doesn't exist in a KDE4 version and the KDE3 version doesn't work, so it ought to go somehow.14:20
apachelogger_why does the katapult KDE 3 version not work btw?14:20
ScottKapachelogger_: Nope.  This was part of the idea behind the currently much maligned 'cruft cleaner'14:21
ScottKFor the one test I gave it, it looked on the wrong place for the binary and failed.14:21
ScottKSo it runs, it just didnd't know how to launch stuff.14:21
ScottKThat's fairly fatal given it's purpose.14:22

rien-ne-va-plusScottK: thanks for the info - ill try gnome-bluez then15:30
ScottKapachelogger: It turned out I had katapult running still.  It appears it still works for kde3 apps and fails on kde4 apps (looks at /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kate for example)15:34

apacheloggerusing neon's KDM is a) very dangerous b) very hackish17:33
apacheloggerso you would have to use XDM or GDM17:33

smarterand I removed a line in it which made the ins key map to play or something like that17:58
ScottKapachelogger: ;-)17:58
DaSkreechhi Hobbsee18:00
apacheloggerstdin: the answer is that apachelogger takes certain comments very literally and makes everyone aware that he is disappointed in the disobeying of standards :P18:01
stdinstandards only apply when Ubuntu want's them to18:03
rgreeningScottK/ apachelogger: I can't wait to see what happens when we have a qt firefox package. Is it going to be "you need all the gnome apps to be useful" stupidity again?18:04
apacheloggerrgreening: very likely, TBH firefox is not the best example of cross-desktop applications18:04
* rgreening thinks there should be a ff-gnome and ff-kde and ff-gnome holds the gnome deps as reccommends18:05
ScottKWe'll just make the KDE stuff recommends too using the same logic and see how it goes.18:05
apacheloggerrgreening: "but people install firefox and would be confused"18:05

DaSkreechTm_T: I forget did I ask you about Kwibber?18:10
Tm_Tyou did, it's waiting for freetime18:10

DaSkreechPublicized it any?18:11
* DaSkreech chuckles.18:11
* rgreening probably shouldn't have posted a comment in the bug... waits for the backlash18:11
Tm_TI have mentioned it in places, but it's more like I like to do it myself atleast FOR myself (:)18:11
DaSkreechI'm going to wager the busy goes up drastically for another 18-32 years after that18:11
Tm_Tnah18:11
jdongallee: sorry, what do you mean?18:12
alleejdong: xev and therefore X11 translate keycode 232 to  XF86MonBrightnessDown ...18:13
DaSkreechTm_T: Blogged?18:13
DaSkreechOr microblogged it? ^_^18:13
Tm_TDaSkreech: I don't do blog atm18:13
Tm_Tand neither micro-18:13
DaSkreech>_>18:13
alleejdong: so your  keycode 232 = XF86Stop  is not used by X1118:13
Tm_Twill though18:13
jdongallee: well I am pressing the brightness down key18:13
DaSkreechSo you are making a microblogger for yourself with no usage of Microblogging?18:13
jdongallee: and due to the keymap it's being treated as the XF86Stop key :)18:13
jdongallee: now maybe on some keyboards keycode 232 IS the stop key, but that's not the case on this Macbook keyboard where it's a brightness key18:14

rgreeningScottK, apachelogger: wrt bug 292403, it seems ubufox is the main culprit. What about a kubufox package and then the reccommends can be and either or for ubufox/kubufox and then we can sort this all out in Jaunty with a seed for kubufox.18:18

ScottKrgreening: I think that's generally sensible.  I intend to discuss my suggestion with asac directly (i.e. not in the bug).  I'll let you know how it turns out.18:19
apacheloggerso ubufox|kubufox would still intall ubufox18:19
apacheloggerunless kubufox is installed beforehand18:19
rgreeningapachelogger... seed kubufox as partof the desktop?18:20
ScottKapachelogger: We'd need to drop it to suggests.18:20
ScottKBut if it's part of the desktop see/metapackage, it should work out fine.18:20
apacheloggerScottK: that is what I was pointing out earlier ;-)18:20

rgreeningScottK: and discussions...18:21
apacheloggerScottK: xubuntu's lead marketing dude18:21
alleejdong: I don't know that guidance used, but if there's a standardized XF86MonBrightness*, this is what guidance should use18:21
ScottKOh.18:21
jdongallee: now the weird thing is, with those modmaps removed Guidance still doesn't see my brightness keys18:21
jdongallee: it doesn't seem like Guidance uses XF86MonBrightness*18:21
apacheloggerScottK: he was thinking about getting a shared startpage source to avoid duplicated translations18:22
jdongallee: it uses Launch5 and Launch618:22
jdongWHAT?18:22
ScottKapachelogger: I see.18:22
jdongallee: hmm it doesn't accept my brightness keys in shortcut settings either18:23
jdongit pretends it doesn't hear me18:23
jdongeven though Xev sees the keys18:23
alleejdong: strange18:24
DaSkreechI feel like I should know myrtti18:24
rgreeningScottK: apachelogger: actually, further looking, it requires apturl... which brings in all the deps. I wonder if are are alternatives to apturl for KDE that we can ask to put into that package to make this better.18:24
rgreeningScottK: apachelogger: my gut tells me, we can make ubufox allow apturl or install-package to satisfy the dep in ubufox. That would fix the issue altogether (assuming install-package will work and we patch apturl to allow either.18:27
apacheloggerrgreening: it would improve the issue, not fix it18:27
apacheloggerfirefox shouldn't recommend ubufox at all18:28
apacheloggerI am not sure install-package expects the same kind of URLs though18:28
rgreeningme neither. just an option/hope for a possibility18:32

jdongallee:         brightnessUpAction.setShortcut(KShortcut(Qt.Key_Launch6))19:05
jdongallee: in g-p-m.py, why do we hardcode Launch5 and Launch6 as brightness?19:05
alleejdong: wild guess: historic?19:06
alleejdong: mhhm, wasn't there something in /etc/acpi ... that mapped hardware events to X events. ?????????19:07
jdongallee: only if they are hardware events19:07
jdongallee: the macbook does not have any hardware mapped keys for brightness19:08
jdongthey are standard software keyboard keys that must be handled by the UI :)19:08
alleeyes :)19:08
jdongallee: lol I see the "history"19:08
jdongallee: Qt.* doesn't have Key_*Brightness*19:08
jdongallee: so that's why we need launch5 and launch619:11
jdongallee: wow, QT doesn't seem to recognize these keys period19:14
jdongallee: keyboard shortcuts can't grab the key19:14
jdongallee: and forcing the keysym results in displayed as "Meta-(blocky thing)"19:14
* jdong tries a bit harder19:15
jdongconfirmed, Qt can't see the brightness keys.19:16
jdongwhat the hell19:23
jdongXF86Launch5 is actually QT:Key_Launch719:24

Arbythat's my understanding20:21
Arbyexcept it doesn't20:21
smarterOo20:21
smarterwhat happens exactly when open is clicked, nothing?20:21
Arbythe filename is inserted into the associated Qlineedit correctly20:21
Arbybut the dialog disappears then comes back20:22
Arbyin a split second20:22
Arbyif I click on the file 3 time the dialog closes20:22
Arbyclearly I've stuffed up somewhere20:22
Arbybut I've no idea where20:22
Arbyhang on, let me make a screenshot20:23
smarterbtw, you could use setFileMode(QFileDialog::ExistingFile) instead of checking for if path.isfile20:23
smarter(on the QFileDialog)20:24
smartermaybe the on_filechooser_... functions is called more than one time?20:26
Arbysmarter: http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3/scpkde2aa6.jpg20:27
Arbythanks for the setfilemode tip20:27
ArbyI don't think the function should be called more than once but I'll check20:28
Arbythat function didn't exist until I added it20:28
smarterbut it's a slot, so maybe the signal is emitted more than one time20:29
smarter(wouldn't "Browse..." be a better pushbutton name than "..." for choosing a file?)20:29
jjesseyes20:29
ArbyI didn't name it20:29
Arbybut I will get around to changing it20:29
jjessemy wife always looks for browse to save files instead of ...20:30
ArbyIf I new how I'd get it to show a folder icon20:30
Arby*knew20:30
Arbywell the button now says browse anyway :)20:33
smarterArby: you want to show an icon on the button?20:33
Arbywhy not. I commonly associate an open folder icon with a button to open files20:34
smarteryou need to use KPushButton for that20:34
smarterit can takes a KIcon and a QString20:34
smarterqpushbutton don't afaik20:34
Arbythanks for the hint20:34
smarters/don't/can't/20:34
Arbythis app seems to use a combination of pykde and pyqt so maybe I'll do that20:35
smarterwell, when you use KDE functions you must use Qt ones too ;)20:36

Arbyif I click the file then the filename is entered in the lineedit. the dialog blinks and immediately reappears20:50
Arbyeven clicking cancel I have to click 3 times to get it to cancel20:51
JontheEchidnaScottK: looks juicy20:53
RiddellArby: oh, I know20:53
RiddellArby: it's pyqt trying to be clever20:54
RiddellArby: it's because your method name is the same as the slot name, so it calls it magically20:54
ArbyRiddell: a-ha.20:54
RiddellArby: either rename the slot or try removing the connect line20:54
Arbyok20:54
Riddellthat confused the heck out of me when I came across it20:54
ArbyI thought it was me being dumb20:54
* Arby goes to try20:55
ArbyRiddell: renaming the slot did it.21:00
ArbyI'd never have figured that out21:00
Riddellyeah, it's a misfeature in my opinion21:00
Arbybut isn't enabling the forward button.21:01
ArbyI need to find the right attribute of the line edit21:01

Riddellqt:qlineedit21:01

Riddellsmarter: I prefer to have them explicit than implicit21:02
smarterthen every slot renamed21:02
smarterbecause the same thing must happens everywhere21:03
RiddellSIGNAL("toggled(bool)"), self.on_rbtnNPFoomatic_toggled)    I don't think that works magically because it takes an argument21:03
smarteroh yes, you need to add a python decorator for that to work21:03
ArbyRiddell: yes, for checking if QLineEdit has text in it21:03
smarterbut the name is still confusing21:03

yuriythere's a new version, McCain Vista21:34
ScottKHe was a lot more independent and sensible before.21:34
RiddellI thought he was doing his best to separate himself from Bush this time?21:35
ScottKI'm going to hold my nose and vote for him anyway though because I think he's better than Obama.21:35
yuriy*sigh*21:35
Riddellyuriy: I presume you don't get a vote?21:35
yuriyRiddell: I do21:35
yuriywell, not really, because I live in MA21:35
Riddelloh, interesting21:35
yuriyit's a nominal vote :P21:35
ScottKWell he's been trying to "Be not like Bush, but keep the Bush faithful excited" and I think he's rather failed at both.21:35
ScottKyuriy: Same for me living in MD.21:36
JontheEchidnaScottK: My dad feels the same way I think21:36

* ScottK has a brother living in MA who is also.21:37
ScottKyuriy: I saw that and it's really orthogonal to my reasoning.21:37
ScottKPersonally I'm getting sick of the "If you're not for Obama you must be an idiot or a racist" discussions.21:38
ScottKForgot: or ignorant.21:38
yuriyno, I can see why reasonable people would support McCain, especially pre-campaign McCain.  of course then there's Palin..21:39
Riddellso when you tick the box on the voting paper does it say the name of the presidential candidate or the name of the electoral college people?21:39
ArbyRiddell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66970/21:39
ScottKIt actually says both here.21:39
Riddelland who are the electoral college people?  nominated by the parties?21:39
ArbyRiddell: it doesn't seem to detect the text being present21:40
RiddellArby: add a print statement for "not self.filechooserPPD.text().isEmpty" see what it's saying21:40

* Riddell can't work out who nixternal means to vote for21:44
ScottKHe means to vote for McCain and try to pick up girls at the Obama rally.21:45
nixternalRiddell: I am voting for Bob Barr Jr....if he gets 5% of the vote here in Illinois, then he can be on the ballot uncontested in the future, or the Liberatarian party can21:46
nixternalmy vote in Illinois doesn't really count anyways for who I really want to win, so I might as well attempt to make it count somewhat21:46
ScottKyuriy: I'll confess the other thing I'm betting on is McCain's continued health.21:47
* nixternal bets McCain and Palin steal it tomorrow and win by 2 states21:47

Riddellgosh, that's all of you so far complaining about your vote not counting, why is there no campaign for a more sensible voting system?21:48
* ScottK thinks either will be a significant improvement.21:48
nixternalRiddell: because the democrats and republicans would chew your arms off for even trying :)21:48
ScottKRiddell: There is periodically, but Consitutional amendments are, by design, very hard.21:48
nixternalthat's what happens when you have 2-party politics for so long21:48
ScottKActually most of the problem can be fixed at the state level.21:49
ScottKIIRC only ME allows it's electoral votes to be split.21:49
ScottKIf more states did that, then there would be a lot less 'not counting'.21:49
Riddellright, all the states could do that21:49
DaSkreechScottK: Fox can be under comedy21:49
ScottK;-)21:49
yuriythere's that, and also I think it would help if more candidates that are considered fringe in their parties ran as independents21:49
RiddellDaSkreech: that upload settings to bzr branch application was only ever a two hour proof of concept, I never intended for it to go further21:50
Arbyright finished showing the gf how add users from the commandline :)21:51
nixternalScottK: Illinois won't do that because Chicago is Democrat and the rest of teh state is Republican...Chicago doesn't want to lose the hold it has on the rest of the state21:51
Arbyback to work21:51
bddebianSounds like PA21:51
nixternalboo21:51
ScottKnixternal: This is similarly true in most states.21:51

Riddellbddebian: who's box are you going to tick?21:53
bddebiancrimsun: Now we are going back the other way :)21:53
nixternalbddebian: hahaha, celebrate tonight come on!21:53
bddebianRiddell: Dunno.  I'd like to vote for Bob Barr but it's a throw away vote unfortunately21:53
crimsunmeh, I'm writing in mickey mouse21:54
nixternalbddebian: no it isn't...get the 5% so the liberatarian's can get their uncontested ballot space21:54
DaSkreechcrimsun: That's copyright infringement21:54
ScottKbddebian: Well you live in a state that happens to have at least some potential to be competitive.21:54
nixternalcrimsun: haha, I used to write mickey mouse all of the time21:54
yuriybddebian: what state are you in/21:54
nixternalya, McCain/Palin will win PA21:54
DaSkreechWho started that?21:54
nixternalSteal FL21:54

nixternalshoot up Ohio21:54
bddebiannixternal: It'll never happen :(21:55
bddebianyuriy: Pennsylvania21:55
yuriybddebian: oh, PA? that's considered a swing state, isn't it21:55
nixternalbddebian: youd on't think McCain/Palin will win PA?21:55
nixternalyou are the only one, because even the libs are saying they are more than likely going to lose it21:55
ScottKMcCain is behind there, but there's some potential for it to be gloxe.21:55
ScottKurgh21:55

bddebianI think Our Lord and Savior Obama will win and I'll be moving the new country of Texas ;-P21:55
nixternaldon't believe the polls21:55
nixternalbddebian: hahahahhaha21:56
nixternalcome here to Chicago, where you can see just how well obama has done to Cook County by placing the people he did a few years back21:56
bddebianOf course McCain is headed down the socialism train too, just slower21:56
nixternal10% sales tax21:56
nixternalthe highest property taxes in teh US21:56

nixternalthe highest amount of poverty per square mile now21:56
nixternalwe totalyl rock here with the dems in charge21:56

bddebiannixternal: My mom is in Bloomington.  My dad is still on the farm in between Bloomington and Peoria21:57
nixternalyup, south of 8021:57
crimsunnixternal: unfortunately no USA political party will do much to change that21:57
crimsunchange occurs on an individual level21:58
jussi01we should create a channel #kubuntu-devel-politics :D21:58
bddebianThat's called #debian-devel ;-P21:58
* nixternal goes back to work before the world blows up21:58
nixternalhahaha21:58
jussi01bddebian: lol21:58
bddebiannixternal: Why work?  When Obama is elected we won't need jobs.  The gubmint will do everything for us.21:58
Riddellnixternal: are you suggesting 10% sales tax is high?21:59
yuriybddebian: why? wouldn't you still work?21:59
bddebianHell yes when Nevada and Texas are at 0% :)21:59
nixternallol, ya 10% is insane21:59
RiddellI think this is a different definition of the word "socialism" than that to which I have been used21:59
bddebianyuriy: Why work when I can get my free welfare check^ err "tax credit"22:00
yuriyRiddell: is this the first you've heard of this?22:00
Riddellyuriy: minimum VAT allowed in EU is 15%22:00
smarter19,6% here in France :P22:00
bddebianGimme a freakin' flat tax damnit! :)22:01
yuriyRiddell: I know, vaguely. I meant about how americans think any non-negligible tax is "socialism"22:01
* jussi01 lives in a "socialist" country (well I guess you could call it that) and it works pretty well... we do have the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world...22:01
Riddelljussi01: not worried that your country is overdependant on one company?22:01
RiddellI wonder what % of Finlandish GDP Nokia makes up22:01
bddebianyuriy: No tax isn't socialism per se.22:01
crimsunbddebian: I ain't gonna clean up your poop no matter who gets elected!22:02
bddebianheh22:02
jussi01Riddell: not overly, because we have a fantastic _renewable_ natural resource to fall back on when times are hard22:02
Riddelljussi01: you do?  snow power?22:02
Riddelllapland tourism?22:02
jussi01Riddell: the wood/paper industry22:03
yuriyjussi01: that's renewable? O_o22:03
Riddellthat's hardly unique, plenty countries can compete with that22:03
crimsunbut who can compete with chilled monkey brains?22:03
sebasEgypt!22:03
smarterArby: actually, you have to use toPlainText().isEmpty() instead of text() which is deprecated22:03
ScottKjussi01: Sounds like Canada, but without the actual tech industry (Nokia).22:04
jussi01Riddell: I didnt say people couldnt compete, but the fact is the policies here make sure it is renewable and remains that way.22:04
Arbysmarter: so you mean foo.toPlainText().isEmpty() ?22:04
smarteryes22:04
jussi01Not too mention we have one of the best education systems in the world...22:04
yuriyjussi01: interesting. linky about these policies?22:04
jussi01yuriy: moment please22:05
ScottKjussi01: I think such things work generally better in smaller more economically homogenous countries.22:05
bddebianYeah, let's send them about 25,000,000 "immigrants" :)22:05
yuriyScottK: agree on that22:06
ScottKActually you can look at the insurance system in MA as an example of something similar.22:06
ScottKIt'd never work nationally, but there it's good.22:07
Arbysmarter: toPlainText() is an attribute error ?22:07
smarterstrange22:08
smarteroh, it's toPlainText in PyQt22:09
Riddellnothing about toPlainText() in http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qlineedit.html22:09
smarteroh forget that22:10
Riddelland http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qlineedit.html#text-prop doesn't say anything about being deprecated22:10
* smarter was looking at the wrong doc ^^'22:10
bddebianHmm, I think I'll write in Condoleeza Rice22:10
smarterit's qtextedit text() which is deprecated22:10
smarterArby: sorry :P22:10
Arbysmarter: no problem :)22:10
* smarter is obviously tired22:11
smarter'night guys22:11
jussi01yuriy: I cant find the policies proper, I suspect they are in finnish, but this article gives some idea on the policies and how finns feel about the forrests, though it is hardly a policy article: ftp://ftp.fao.org/docrep/fao/005/y9882e/y9882e02.pdf22:12
Riddellbddebian: when you say socialism, are you thinking of communism or just a high tax government?22:14
yuriyneither of which is socialism...22:14
ScottKTrue.22:15
Riddellyuriy: you're thinking of an anarchistic system?22:15
bddebianFinland is a relatively large country at 5 million? :)22:15
ScottKBut it does appear that the amount of 'tax cut' people will get under Obama's plan is more than the total tax they currently pay.22:15
Riddella good size for a country that :)22:16
jussi01bddebian: yes, in land area, for europe it is large...22:16
yuriyno.. communism can be anarchistic, socialism is defined as everything is run by the government, isn't it?  I'm actually a bit fuzzy on the correct definitions, not having read the literature, but I feel like I have an idea of what it's not22:16
bddebianRiddell: Really it's probably more Marxist if we want to get specific.  I find all the "fairness" stuff to be garbage.22:16
ScottKWhich isn't exactly Socialist, but some people are understandably grumpy about it.22:16
bddebianScottK: People who don't pay taxes will be getting a "tax cut" as I understand it.22:17
ArbyRiddell: currently I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/66983/22:17
ScottKyuriy: Right, but Communism has never actually happened.  The "Communists" ran "Socialist" governments until the glorious day some time in the future when true "Communism" would arrived.22:17
ArbyRiddell: but the print occurs as soon as I click the provide PPD file radio button22:18
ScottKbddebian: Isn't that what I said?22:18
RiddellArby: and is it empty?22:18
ArbyRiddell: at that point yes22:18
* ScottK wonders off.22:18
ArbyI think the check is happening before I've entered the filename22:18
bddebianScottK: Yeah, sorry misread22:18
Arbyso I think I need to call the 'enable forward button' after the file has been selected22:19
ArbyRiddell: does that sound sane or am I on the wrong track22:19
Riddellthat seems sensible22:19
Arbyright, good, now how to do that22:19
RiddellArby: just call the method at the end of the browse_clicked() method22:20
jussi01hehe, its so funny to see predictions 5 years ago of what has just happened... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3026597.stm22:20

Riddelldanimo: go for it22:22
danimoRiddell: you know how that goes whenever I update distros, I prefer to whine to the devels, not the world (via planet)22:23
bddebianjussi01: Did anyone of us say we didn't like Finland or something? :)22:23
JontheEchidnaamarok2 beta3 packages published :D22:23

danimo?22:23
bddebianjussi01: Ah, OK :)  Where did you move from?22:23
jussi01bddebian: Im an Aussie :D22:23
bddebianAh, I was considering running away to Australia until recently :)22:24
danimoRiddell: a friend of mine said randr-adjustment (e.g. when connecting a projector) worked fine for him on gnome, so I think there should be a better fix than disabling the xrandr change polling22:24

jussi01bddebian: we have gorgeous internet here, 2/2 comes with the house free, for 19.90 euro per month I can update to 100/10...22:26
danimoRiddell: and as for politics: obama will win, that's rather boring22:26

danimowe should have remove those stupid options in KDE years ago22:30

* danimo doesn't see how22:30
danimoand replaced it with a selective "text for this important option" flag for specific actions in xmlgui22:31
danimohaving text for all options is just silly22:31
