HobbseeRiddell: you around?00:12
HobbseeAnd other kubuntu UDS'y type people?00:12
seelehmm?00:18
Hobbseeseele: this is the friendly reminder about specs, specs, and more specs!00:19
Hobbsee<cheers>00:19
seeleHobbsee: we've got a meeting tomorrow to discuss UDS stuff00:19
seelewe've got a whole page of to-be-specs :)00:19
Hobbseeseele: right.  Can you make sure they land on https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-jaunty/, have a person to talk about them, and get proposed for the meeting, by thursday please?00:20
seelehmm.. i can try00:20
Hobbseeseele: the later it gets, the less people get an opportuntiy to subscribe, and the likely higher number of clashes there will be.00:21
Hobbseeseele: i don't think it matters if they're placeholder specs particularly, either.00:21
seeleok00:24
Hobbseeas long as people can kinda see what they are, subscribe to them if they're interested, etc.00:25
Hobbseeseele: oops.  Apparently they can't be completely placehodler specs.  They need to contain a reasonable amount of information in them.00:34
Hobbseealthough more bits can be added later00:34

bfrogits broken in kubuntu03:24
DaSkreechbfrog: yes there was Small patches03:24
bfrogwell... you see... plasma only shows up on one screen, where as with archlinux (basically plain kde4) it seemed to work just dandy so I can only assume...03:25
bfrogwhere should I file a bug at?03:26
bfroger I bet I can find it, lemme search03:26
DaSkreech:-D03:27
* DaSkreech likes bfrog03:27
bfrogare the patches listed on launchpad?03:27
DaSkreechnixternal: Yeah I could see that flood coming :) Does anyone read your blog who isnt on Linux?03:40
bfrogwoo hoo04:42
bfrogall problems solved with kde from backports (kde 4.1.3)04:42
bfrogI filed a bug though, should I add a comment there about this?04:42
ScottKbfrog: Yes.04:52
bfrogawesome, well kubuntu just won me for 8.10. 6 months feels like forever with free software, so much awesomeness in so little time :-)04:54

seelehmm.. this is going to be a long meeting today12:47
seelewow the bug list gets lots of mail12:58
apacheloggerHobbsee: get kdelibs5 from the kubuntu-experimental ppa and check whether KDE 4 apps still work properly in a gnome session13:11
apacheloggerryanakca: I would assume Riddell runs the meeting, I just take care that the meeting isn't too short :P13:12
apacheloggerseele: I guess that indicates we have a buggy product13:12
seeleapachelogger: most of them are replies, not new bugs :)13:13
apacheloggerseele: I guess that indicates we have a buggy product but do something about it ;-)13:14
seele:D13:15
apacheloggerwhy the havok does our gem install to /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin ... and why is that thing not on $PATH14:00
Riddellyou'd need to ask debian-ruby people14:03
Riddellbut if it's anything like python-support then it'll make symlinks from the right places14:04
apacheloggerdoes not14:05
* apachelogger makes a funny face and installs a non-crippled gem14:05
apacheloggerin fact, dpkg should be replaced by gem, it's better on the memory anyway :P14:06
rgreeningRiddell: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuFilesharing - this ever get implemented?14:07
rgreeningIf not, we should re-propose for Jaunty14:07
apacheloggerwhy would anyone use webdav?14:11
* apachelogger thinks we should use sftp, and sftp only14:11
rgreeningapachelogger: WevDev isn't the point here, its file sharing which appears to be missing in Intrepid.14:12
apacheloggerthere is a lot of more important stuff missing in Intrepid :P14:12
rgreeningwhich tells me the spec wasn't implemented and should be re-proposed14:12
apacheloggerfilesharing ain't worth anything if you can't even configure your network connection14:12
rgreeningsharing is important for the desktop.14:13
rgreeningbah..14:14
apacheloggerNightrose: did you try nuking your .amarok-nightly?14:15
Riddellrgreening: no it didn't14:15

apacheloggerThe System Settings application is nice, but it is a far cry from the features of KControl.14:30
JontheEchidnas/hvaen't haven't14:30
apacheloggerthat statement is so horribly horrible I am crying right now14:30
apacheloggerthe only thing systemsettings can not do is chaning the icon size of the modules14:31
jjesseis there a meeting today?14:31
JontheEchidnayes14:32
apacheloggerSecondly, the developers who wrote the application should know their code, and if they know their code then they know where all the bugs are.14:32
apacheloggerrofl14:32
apachelogger<= dying14:32
apacheloggerthat statement has kind of a bug, he doesn't know what he writes it appears ;-)14:32

Riddellapachelogger: ubuntu.com -> kubuntu.org, down with the brown14:34
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: s/ubuntu.com/kubuntu.org14:34
JontheEchidnawell if you're logged in you can have your wiki theme set to kubuntu globally14:35
JontheEchidna:D14:35
apacheloggerah brown vs. drunk14:35
apacheloggerI can only assume that the reason KDE4 was rushed out the door was that the KDE project had an influx of amateur developers who didn't quite understand software development and how their work would affect their users.14:36
apacheloggerKDE should have a non-ranters clause in the license14:36
JontheEchidnabetter yet, make it a eula14:36
apacheloggerthen again the question arises, what was there before.. the buggy application or the users who clamed the application is buggy14:37
JontheEchidnahttp://xkcd.com/501/14:37
apacheloggerThe one thing you don't want to do is force your users to abandon your software and migrate to another project, but this is exactly what I've seen happening since KDE4 was released.14:38
apacheloggerI am wondering how he saw that14:38
apacheloggerwe are deploying that product and barely noticed anything like this within the last months14:38
apacheloggerhm, that wasn't worth the time really14:40
jjesseapachelogger: are those quotes from the blog or from kubuntut-users/14:46
rgreeningok, who moved the spec while I was editing it... lol14:51

* NCommander is very close to a much better solution :-)15:29
apacheloggerI see15:30
NCommanderI'm backporting some of the cmake module code for 4.1.73 that removed KDEDependenciesInternal15:30
apacheloggersounds like regression testing fun :P15:31
NCommanderregression testing is how I found my patch was bad :-P15:31
apacheloggerRiddell: if I am reading the fridge events page correctly ubuntu-meeting should be available for a very long time15:33
apacheloggerNCommander: you know, of all the stuff we backported only the preview thingies for the taskbar turned out to be of sufficient quality :P15:34
NCommanderapachelogger, I'm ONLY backporting cmake build code15:34

litbmy classmate is trying to get going with amarok 2 SVN16:15
litband he installed kde devel packages for his ubuntu16:15

litbdo you guys know what package he needs?16:15

rgreeningwho's a pythonista here? I got a quick question16:27
Riddellrgreening: what's up?16:29
rgreeningRiddell: writing a app and need to have cmdline args mutually exclusive. If user enters two options which are exclusive, I want it to kick back to the app's help.16:30
RiddellKCmdLineArgs can probably do that, it can do most things16:30
rgreeningRiddell: So, I can make a call to that and exit gracefully with the help showing16:31
rgreeningRiddell: I'm attempting my first full python app (writing a KDE FE to ufw for a lark... if it's useful for Kubuntu, all the better).16:32
Riddellrgreening: if it's a KDE app you have no choice but to use KCmdLineArgs, look at the docs on api.kde.org to work out what it can do for you16:32
rgreeningRiddell: ty16:33
Riddellrgreening: you can see it in use in qt-language-selector for example16:34
JontheEchidnaif you want to code your own command line args you can bypass kcmdlineargs by giving it a fake sys.argv16:38
Riddelltrue16:38
Riddellbut there shouldn't be a need  unless the args are being processed elsewhere like in some of our cross-desktop apps, kcmdlineargs is usually the most helpful way16:38
rgreeningRiddell: usage and usageError are what I was looking for. :)16:39
JontheEchidnayeah, it is sort of a hack ;-)16:39
apachelogger<3 hacks16:40

NCommander(the patch itself is fairly small)17:00
NCommandersmarter, the reason why we can't link against against libsolid17:00
NCommandersuch as adept17:00

* apachelogger is getting confused17:05
apacheloggerNCommander: most likely17:05
NCommanderWhere's that PPA?17:05
apacheloggerbackports17:05
NCommanderI'll redo my magic17:05
apacheloggerplus 4.1.3 is still targetting -updates, so ultimately the issue would be fixed by then17:06

apacheloggerRiddell: do you have a script for that?17:08
Riddellnope17:08
apacheloggerRiddell: I'll try to get one for 4.1.417:08
* apachelogger doubts he can do anymore magic today17:08
NCommanderIf we're going to put 4.1.3 into updates17:09

NCommandersince it already has the necessary bugfix17:09
apacheloggerthat is what I was trying to indicate when I mentioned that .3 is has -updates as target ;-)17:09
RiddellNCommander: so 4.1.3 should magically fix this?17:09
NCommanderOnce 4.1.3 hits proposed, we can test adept to see if the issue is corrected17:09
NCommanderor is it already in proposed?17:10
Riddellnot yet17:10
NCommanderWOrks for me17:10
NCommanderThe same code I backported from 4.1.73 is in 4.1.317:10
Riddellok, I'll file bugs, see if pitti's happy with a move to -proposed then we'll check adept again17:10

smarteryes, that's not really glossy but most of the screenshot is the white dolphin background, dialog windows zum Beispiel are a lot glossier iirc, buttons too17:18
smarterthere's a bespin kwin dec too that you might want to check out17:18
apacheloggersmarter: dialog windows are black, so if it wasn't for the glossy they would be super destincted from normal windows17:18
apacheloggerwhich is an accessibility advantage IMO17:18
apacheloggersmarter: I am running neon right now, my 4.1 is using bespin for kwin17:19

ArbyI understand that using a 7 epoch is bad22:11
Arbybut what are the consequences for joe user22:11
apacheloggerhe won't be able to upgrade to _anything_22:11
apacheloggernot yet, not ever, unless we end up with epoch 7, which is very unlikely to happen within the next 50 years or so22:12
Arbyso not even the underlying os would upgrade, because the dependency calculation would fail?22:12
Riddell(unless coolo starts packaging again:)22:12

JontheEchidnaso how did we get epoch up to 4?22:13
ArbyRiddell: I'm thinking about below desktop and whether they'd end up with a 9.04 os and a kde3 desktop22:13

RiddellJontheEchidna: see comment above :)22:13
JontheEchidnaha22:13
RiddellArby: upgrading to 9.04 will likely not work at all22:13
smarterArby: the stuff he said about modifying binary packages(looks in the meeting archives, I mentioned it) probably means he's not that good at packaging22:14
