JontheEchidnaScottK: Could you take a look at bug 301317 and give an MOTU ack please?15:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 301317 in kio-bookmarks "Request for removal from archive (kio-bookmarks)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/30131715:13
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: you know smarter is motu as well ;-)15:20
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: so you don't need to be on the motu council or anything?15:21
* smarter has no idea if he haz taht powa15:21
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: nah, you just need some developer to approve the request so you don't request shit15:21
JontheEchidnaheh15:22
apacheloggerhm15:22
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: doesn't kdelibs conflict kio-bookmarks?15:22
* apachelogger is wondering why libs would conflict it if it was included in kdebase15:23
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: yeah, I just corrected that15:24
JontheEchidnait is in libs15:25
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: also, did it really only get introduced in .80?15:25
apacheloggerthe .installs don't indicate such a change in .80 ;-)15:25
JontheEchidnaprobably in 4.1.7315:26
apacheloggerNightrose: could you people please fix  trying to overwrite `/opt/amarok-nightly/share/kde4/servicetypes/plasma-scriptengine.desktop', which is also in package amarok-nightly-kdelibs15:26
Nightroseapachelogger: will poke leo about it. thx15:26
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: you should state something like "in > 4.1.50", otherwise you confuse me :P15:27
Nightroseapachelogger: leo said we no longer do15:40
apacheloggerpossibly15:41
apacheloggerneon version is from 17th15:41
apacheloggereither kollide is forgetting stuff or there is a bug within neon15:41

* ScottK isn't on the MOTU Council anyway.16:29
JontheEchidnahmm, for some reason I thought you were16:30
ScottKDone in any case.16:31
* ScottK is on the motu-release team.16:31
JontheEchidnaoh, that's probably what I was thinking of16:31
ScottKIn any case that's something any MOTU can do.16:31
ScottKYou shouldn't subscribe the archive, let the sponsor do that.16:31
JontheEchidnawill keep that in mind for next time16:32
ScottKNo problem.  Thanks for looking after it.16:33
ScottKThat or you should apply for MOTU ....16:33
* ScottK goes to lunch16:34
JontheEchidnaheh, I plan on doing so after KDE 4.1.8016:34
ScottKPlease do some Universe stuff too so we can avoid the "You pretty much just upload to Main, so you don't need MOTU" debate.  Ask kirkland for how much fun that is.16:38
nixternalmornin'16:41
* nixternal searches for some work to do today16:42
nixternalany ideas?16:42
ScottKI hear the guy in charge of Kubuntu docs has been a real slacker lately.  Probably stuff there that needs doing.16:43
nixternalalready started there :p16:43
nixternalya, that jjesse is a real slacker :)16:43
ScottKnixternal: Looking for KDE3 stuff that can't work anymore and should be removed would be good.16:48
* nixternal picks smb4k as one16:48
nixternalthat one has a lot of fun changes too16:48
nixternalScottK: do we have a list of apps that aren't up to snuff?16:58
* nixternal checks ksensors16:58
nixternalif that is still there it should get removed anyways...it hasn't worked correctly in years16:58
jdongsebas: mjg59 isn't completely wrong on the 3D vs 2D topic....16:59
jdongsebas: notably, only nvidia's 3D driver supports interruptless VBLANK with compositing enabled17:00
jdongon Intel it increases power consumption by 0.7W and 50 wakeups/sec17:00
^seelenn^nixternal: You around?17:19
nixternal^seelenn^: ya I am here...I am building some packages right now...what's going on?17:56
nixternalif you listen to slipknot, you can increase your productivity by two-fold easily :)17:56
^seelenn^Hello, just wanted to know the index page url so I could take a look and do a mock up17:56
nixternalit is installed locally on your system with the kubuntu-docs package...so if you went into konqueror and typed the url:  help:/kubuntu/index    you will see the current index17:58
nixternalit works for some it seems, but not for all17:58
^seelenn^ahhh, clever17:58
nixternalit is currently written docbook/xml17:58
nixternalI have no problem writing it in HTML, though it makes translations difficult and time consuming as they have to be done manually17:58
^seelenn^I checked out docbook, looks good for purpose17:59
nixternalit is easy too, except for doing the tricker things like I did with that index...it is written in docbook utilizing tables, very badly I might add17:59
^seelenn^:) I like easy :)18:00
* DaSkreech tries to consider if Linux is easy18:00
^seelenn^woah, that is complicated!18:01
nixternalhehe, told ya :)18:02
^seelenn^I like a challenge, I'll have a good look through and make a shiny mock up18:02
nixternalrock on...very much appreciated18:04
nixternalooh, my new smb4k package will remove all of its bugs currently opened in LP :)18:17
* nixternal wonders why his name isn't on the 5-a-day stats anymore? I should be in 16th spot overall but I am no longer there18:20
DaSkreechSoooo ^seelenn^ likes easy challeneges? :)18:21
^seelenn^Pretty much, although DocBook is not in the 'easy' class whatsoever18:22
apacheloggercan someone explain how bug 301217 is technically even possible?19:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 301217 in amarok "amarok doesn't run on Ubuntu 8.10+kde, requires libkdeui.so.4" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/30121719:44
NCommanderJontheEchidna, still need packagers?19:45
NCommanderapachelogger, possibly backports/updates are screwed19:45
apacheloggerNCommander: neither of them is in backports or updates19:46
apacheloggerthere is no way how his kdelibs4 couldn't contain libkdeui.so.419:47
NCommanderapachelogger, isn't libkdeui.so.4 from KDE3 vs. 4?19:49
apacheloggerfrom?19:49
smarterkdelibs4 = kde319:50

nixternalapachelogger: why do we add quilt to build-deps if there are no patches? Is that a mistake of the past?20:14
apacheloggerno, it is the crappy include design of cdbs :P20:14
apacheloggernixternal: kde4.mk includes quilt or something20:14
apacheloggerthus everything using kde4.mk also needs quilt as build-dep20:15
nixternalahh, that is silly20:15
apacheloggerNCommander: no, go package it20:15
NCommanderno go?20:15
apachelogger,20:15
NCommanderWHat still needs packaging?20:31
NCommanderand are we merging from Debian, or 0ubuntu1ing it?20:31
Arby_Sime: are you around?20:42
Arbyor anyone else with PyQt knowledge.20:42
Arbyspecifically does anyone know how to increment a QTreeWidgetItemIterator in python?20:44
sebasjdong: I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm just saying he shouldn't relate to powerdevil when he doesn't know how powerdevil works and what it actually does.21:15
sebasIn fact, I wrote that he's right21:16
jdongsebas: understood.21:17
jdongsebas: btw, am I correct in understanding that powerdevil offers the option to hot-unplug a core for power savings?21:17
sebasjdong: Correct, yes.21:39
jdongsebas: hot-unplugging Intel cores actually leads them to idle in C0 instead of C4, using more power21:42
jdongidn about AMD cores, but at least one should warn about this actually having the chance of causing more power usage21:42
sebasjdong: Ah, interesting21:43
sebasI didn't test cpu hotplugging, it doesn't seem to be supported on my hardware21:43
jdongi.e. kernel bug 5471 , ubuntu bug 5460121:44
nixternalyou smart people make me sick :p21:44
ubottuError: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/5471/+text)21:44
ubottuUbuntu bug 54601 in linux-source-2.6.15 "disabling a CPU increases laptop power consumption" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/5460121:44
jdongsebas: instead, I recommend exposing the sched_mc_powersavings sysfs option21:45
jdongsebas: that does what you intend -- low workloads are all directed at one core while the other is allowed to idle as much as possible21:46
jdongif you start up a workload that's clearly multi-core then it'll utilize the second core.21:46
jdongwith this, it allows my system to idle CPU0 75% and CPU1 99% during regular workloads21:46
jdongsebas: actually, reading the lesswatts mailing list, CPU hotplugging is worse: Hot-unplugging one core on a core * duo will also not allow the other core to enter sleep!21:47
jdongc.f. http://mail.lesswatts.org/pipermail/discuss/2007-September/000031.html21:48
sebasOw, that sounds like a bug to me.21:55
jdongyeah, at any rate, until that's all sorted out it's probably not wise to expose CPU hotplugging to the user21:56
jdongthe sched_mc_powersavings option is a much better one that leads to good power savings for light loads21:56
nixternalanyone know if the alternate cd installed w/o any problems?23:04
