james_whey hey11:50
james_wanyone know what is intended to happen with libkipi?11:50
james_wthe last upload of kdegraphics dropped the libkipi-common package, but libkipi0 still depends on it.11:51
james_wif we simply remove the dependency libkipi0 and libkipi5 are no longer co-installable, so you won't be able to install some KDE3 apps on Kubuntu11:52
james_wmy suggestion would be to make libkipi0 depend on libkipi5, but that means you have one extra lib if you e.g. install digikam on GNOME11:52
james_wbut in my opinion making KDE4 installable on KDE4 trumps wanting to minimise KDE libs installed when using a KDE application on GNOME any day11:53
Riddellhi james_w11:59
Riddelljames_w: I think digikam will go KDE 4 only in jaunty12:00
james_whi Riddell, you're not supposed to be here :-)12:00
RiddellI'm not?12:00
Riddellso we can just drop libkipi0 in jaunty12:00
james_woh, I thought you were on holiday12:00
Riddellnot until this evening12:00
RiddellI should pack at some point :)12:00
james_wdropping libkipi0 would obviously be great12:01
james_wis leaving it un-installable until then the right thing to do?12:02
Riddellthat's not ideal, would be pretty easy to make libkipi0 depend on libkipi5 quickly today and plan to have digikam for KDE 4 packaged soon12:03
james_wI'm happy to do that if you are happy with that solution12:04

james_wyeah, sorry, I see them now14:42
james_wah, my solution for libkipi0 will not work14:43
james_wthe versions of C/R on libkipi0 were removed, so they are not co-installable14:44
rgreeningjames_w: yeah, for Jaunty, it was removed as there was no need ot have it co-installable with kde314:45
Riddellwe could put them back14:47

james_wor is that something else that was changed in the last kdegraphics upload?14:53

Tm_Toh, that isn't cold18:53

ScottKTm_T: Once it's actually winter Minnesota gets that cold too.  I think it's no suprise most of the original European settlers were from Scandanavia.18:54
Tm_Tit's all snowy here altready <318:54
TekkieFreakI want to go to Sweden really bad...I bought my tin of Pepparkakor for Christmas yesterday.18:55
Tm_Twhy to Sweden?18:55
TekkieFreakMy relatives are all Swedish.18:55
ScottKIt was snowing here (in Maryland) today, but the sun came out and it's gone now.18:55
TekkieFreakI've never been there though.18:55

TekkieFreakMy Mom was 100% Swede. :) Right down to the crankiness. :)18:55
Tm_TDaSkreecH: murh18:55
* DaSkreecH chuckles18:55
DaSkreecHTm_T: meh ?18:56
Tm_TTekkieFreak: crankiness isn't "swedish" thing really18:56
TekkieFreakTm_T: Maybe it's a Minnesota thing then. :)18:56
Tm_TDaSkreecH: murrrh18:56
DaSkreecHmyrtti ? Tm_T?18:57
DaSkreecH<==>18:57
Tm_TDaSkreecH: meh (:)18:57

DaSkreecHgwibber is in git?18:57
Tm_TDaSkreecH: you know what? I might have time to do it a lot during next month (:)18:57
Tm_TDaSkreecH: bzr18:57
TekkieFreakThey were all from Sweden...and so it was fun to go down there in January and work.18:57
* DaSkreecH dances with Tm_T18:57

Tm_TTekkieFreak: you would love to get to russian border, in dark, get over it, and meet lovely wolfes we have here until some border guards catch you up ;--P18:59
TekkieFreakTm....I would LOVE to come in summer and see the midnight sun.18:59
Tm_Tnothing special, except you can read all night in sunlight if you like19:00
DaSkreecHRussian Wolves are interesting19:00
Tm_Tbut may make sleeping hard if you haven't used to it19:00
Tm_TDaSkreecH: indeed19:00
* DaSkreecH is not used to sleeping in any case19:00
TekkieFreakWolves...we have some here...but I live in the Suburbs...so we don't see many.19:01
DaSkreecHwe have a good deal here all wrapped up in people colthing19:01
TekkieFreakIf you go "Up Nort" there's even Moose.19:01
TekkieFreakDS...heh, yeah I was going to say that typically the people are more scary than the wolves. :)19:02
DaSkreecHnastier bites19:03
TekkieFreakTm_T: Have you ever seen the Danish film: The Kingdom? I think it's late from late 90's.19:05
Tm_Tperhaps, why?19:05
TekkieFreakJust curious...I just thinks it's a good film. Really creepy.19:06
TekkieFreakOk, technical question...is it possible to just download the kde-base packages, work on the code and then "run" or "execute" them?19:16
TekkieFreakHow does that work since I'm already running a kde desktop.19:16
ScottKTekkieFreak: You have to recompile them.19:16
TekkieFreakScottK, yep...that's fine...but then for testing?  How dose one test them?19:17
TekkieFreakdoes...sorry...can't type.19:17
ScottKBuild a new .deb, install said .deb (sudo dpkg -i filename.deb).19:17
ScottKThere's a decent wiki page on this.19:18
TekkieFreakOh!!! Ok.19:18
ScottKI'm looking for it.19:18
TekkieFreakSo what would be say a good "small" package I could download the source for and get my feet wet?19:21
DaSkreecHhelloworld19:22
TekkieFreakAnd I imagine there's a bunch of API's available?19:22
ScottKNone of the core KDE packages are 'small'.19:22
TekkieFreak:) Oh sheesh...I'm feeling *really* green  now. :)19:22
ScottKTekkieFreak: No problem.  We're glad to have you here wanting to learn.19:23
TekkieFreakRight...so I think I better start smaller...um....I dunno "weather applet" or something. :)19:23
ScottKKDE packages are somewhat famously huge.19:23
DaSkreecHWell the core ones are19:23
ScottKSomething plasmoid like.19:23
ScottKYeah.19:23
* DaSkreecH pokes Tm_T. Kwibber plasmoid? :-)19:23
ScottKTekkieFreak: Are you running Intrepid?19:24
TekkieFreakScottK...I used to be a Java2 programmer, so I have some knowledge, just not used to this environment.19:24
TekkieFreakYes, running intrepid...and back to kde 4.119:25
TekkieFreakWhat are we on  these days...Java 6?19:25
* ScottK has no idea.19:25
* ScottK has so far managed to avoid Java.19:25
ScottKTekkieFreak: We tend to like Python here, but are open minded.19:26
TekkieFreakI'm sure it's come a long way.  Python sounds good.19:26
TekkieFreakI can raid hubby's books...I think he has the nutshell book on python.19:26
ScottKThat's a good one.19:26
ScottKFor packaging though, you don't need to know much programming except for some shell scripting.19:27
TekkieFreakI should be able to handle that.  Amazing how many shell commands I still remember.19:27
ScottKTo get started you'll want to set yourself up a proper build environment.  There are many ways to do this.19:28
ScottKpbuilder is probably the most common tool.19:28
TekkieFreakSo is that just available through adept?19:28
ScottKYes.19:28
ScottKYou'll have to manipulate it via Konsole.19:29
TekkieFreakOkie...that shouldn't be a problem.19:29
ScottKFor getting set up you'll want to enable intrepid-backports and install be version from there.19:29
DaSkreecHakonadi looks interesting as a microblog store19:29
ScottKThe canonical (pun intended) Ubuntu documentation on pbuilder is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto - I however find a wrapper called pbuilder-dist much easier to deal with.19:30
ScottKAfter you install pbuilder, if you install ubuntu-dev-tools and then look at man pbuilder-dist it'll give you a much easier way to get set up.19:31
TekkieFreakOkie...cool.19:32
rgreening_Sime: you around?19:32
ScottKTekkieFreak: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing also has some good info and links to more.19:33
ScottKThere used to be a simple flipping wiki page that talked about modifying a package and I can't find it.19:34
ScottKProbably well hidden in the packaging guide now.19:35
ScottK!packaging19:35
ubottuThe packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports19:35
TekkieFreakOkie...this looks AWESOME!!19:36
TekkieFreakinstalling dev tools right now.19:36
DaSkreecHWelcome to *buntu19:36
TekkieFreakOh so pbuilder is in the dev-tools?19:37
TekkieFreaklooks like.19:37
=== jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna
ScottKpbuilder is a separate package.  pbuilder-dist is a wrapper for it that's in ubuntu-dev-tools.  You'll want devscripts too.19:42
TekkieFreakOk, I'm not finding pbuilder-dist19:47
TekkieFreakOh ok...I have pbuilder already.19:48
ScottKDid you install ubuntu-dev-tools19:49
TekkieFreakyes19:50
ScottKThen it should be installed on the system path and pbuilder-dist create jaunty should work.19:50
TekkieFreakariel@Pikachu:~$ pbuilder-dist create jaunty19:51
TekkieFreakWarning: Unknown distribution «create». Do you want to continue [y/N]?19:51

rgreeningI'm so lost hahah19:54
TekkieFreakunknown distribution jaunty...do I want to continue?19:54
smarterActually I never tried to connect it using the ui19:54
smarterand as .ui are not widely used for mainwindow in KDE...19:55
rgreeningsmarter: oh, that may explain my confusion19:55
DaSkreecHTekkieFreak: are you on jaunty?19:56
TekkieFreakNo, I'm on intrepid19:56
rgreeningsmarter: I just updated the branch. Can you take a look and see what I am doing wrong? 1) I get two About menu items.. one form the ui and one I apparantly created new. And 2) getting it to show the about dialog20:00
ScottKTekkieFreak: If you install debootstrap from intrepid-backports it will know about Jaunty.20:00
TekkieFreakOkie...I'm just looking for how to enable the backports....hang on.20:02
ScottKTekkieFreak: I think Adept calls it 'unsupported updates" or something like that.20:03
TekkieFreakOkie...looking now.20:04
TekkieFreakHelps if I spell it correctly. :)20:05
TekkieFreakokie...I added deboostrap...but still doesn't know jaunty20:06
smarterrgreening: gonna take dinner, I'll see that after20:08
TekkieFreakYep okie...I activated the "unsupported" packages in Adept.20:08
TekkieFreakInstalled debootstrap with apt-get install20:08

bfrogthere seem to be broken packages with backports enabled?21:13
bfroglibxml2-dev: Depends: libxml2 (= 2.6.32.dfsg-4ubuntu1) but 2.6.32.dfsg-4ubuntu1.1 is to be installed21:13
ScottKNo libxml2 in backports.21:22
JontheEchidnaubuntu1.1, sounds like an intrepid-security package21:23
ScottKIt is.21:23
* ScottK needs to run out.21:23
JontheEchidnaany ops around?21:30
JontheEchidnathere is a disturbance in #kubuntu21:30
smarterping jpds21:31
LjLJontheEchidna: use !ops when something like this happens21:35
LjL(and don't use it if it doesn't)21:35

Riddellau revoir, see you in 10 days for FOSSCamp22:29
* JontheEchidna waves to Riddell22:29
smarterbon voyage Riddell :)22:36
bfrogso any ideas on how to fix this little package fiasco I have?22:55
bfrogI shouldn't disable security should I?22:56
JontheEchidnabfrog: file a bug against the app that won't build. Hopefully they can get an update in intrepid-updates that will fix this23:01
ScottKbfrog: What arch are you running?23:28
bfrogx6423:31
bfrogon the anl mirror (cause I get 2mbytes/s)23:31
ScottKbfrog: Try a different mirror.23:32
bfrogk23:32
ScottK-dev are usuall arch any so it and the other is arch all so it has an x64 specific package.  It looks like the -dev update is missing.23:33
bfrogyeah, us.archive.ubuntu.com is cool23:33
bfrogbut not nearly as fast23:33
bfrogit works, thanks23:34
bfrogI guess there's some other security -dev package updates that are still going through the mirrors though23:35
bfrogI'll just wait till monday23:35
ScottKPossibly.23:35
