apacheloggerso, I could upload KDE one-by-one and break jaunty, or I could upload KDE all at once and break jaunty until everything is built, or I upload to a ppa and break the systems of those who are using the ppa + jaunty13:11
apacheloggeralternately I could not upload at all because beta2 tagging is in 2 weeks anyway :P13:11
Nightrosenonono please upload13:13
Nightroseand those using ppa and jaunty should know that things will break(TM)13:13
apacheloggerhm, everyone goes vacationing and I have to do all the work -.-13:13
* Nightrose hugs apachelogger13:14
Troubleapachelogger, all the work, and all the credit ;-)13:28
ryanakcahehe14:00
hungerapachelogger: Please go ahead and break my system by uploading new KDE debs:-)14:07
hungerapachelogger: I feel strange with a older kde on my jaunty box than on the intrepid one:-)14:07
JontheEchidnahehe^14:08
hungerAnd I don't have to build KDE by myself then to break my box. That is a huge timesaver for me.14:08
apacheloggerfirst I gotta check out sebas' monster sized cursor14:11
sebasI'm running dualscreen, that helps me not losing it all the time :)14:12
apacheloggersebas: isn't that what the kwin stars are for? ;-)14:13
sebasyeah, but having them enabled all the time (ductape!?!) defeats their purpose14:14
sebasI've only been using this cursor for two days now, and I figured it'd be useful for the screencast14:14
sebasGoing out now14:14
apacheloggerthe stars remind me of cartoons14:17
apacheloggerbig cursor => big mouse => rat = no good14:17
hungerWhat are those stars for by the way?14:19
apacheloggerfinding your mouse, though I think that usecase is made up and it's really just a PoC ;-)14:20
apachelogger_Sime: any thoughts about http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/77749/14:21
ryanakcaXP has the same thing... except they don't have stars...14:21
hungerWow, Sebas glasses must be really thick then... needing those stars with such a *huge* mouse pointer:-)14:22
* apachelogger rofls14:23
apacheloggerusing such a big theme is just awesome14:23
apacheloggerfeels awesome14:24
apacheloggerlooks awesome14:24
apacheloggerit's just awesome14:24
hungerYeap, it makes the screencast almost understandable, even when viewed in the browser.14:24
apacheloggerI really don't get why pykde fails14:26
apacheloggerhunger: 4.1.80 might take longer14:26
apacheloggerwithout bindings built I can't build workspace, whichout that I can't build utils, sdk, plasma-addons...14:26
hungerapachelogger: Longer than what?14:26
apacheloggerthan tonightish14:27
hungerapachelogger: That is OK.14:27
hungerapachelogger: As long as I can see a silver lining on the horizon:-)14:27
hungerI wouldn't have asked if the current mix of 4.1.73 and 4.1.2 was a bit more stable.14:28
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: toys is the quality I would exepct from any package14:31
apacheloggerhunger: in theory the mix should have made things easier14:31
apacheloggerdidn't quite work out14:31
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: I believe that one just needed build-dep version bumps14:32
JontheEchidnaluckily for NCommander :P14:32
apacheloggeryeah, still I didn't have to do anything, so I like the quality :P14:33
hungerapachelogger: Well, ping me if you need someone to test stuff or so. I don't mind breaking my system too much and usually know how to fix it again.14:37
apacheloggerhunger: okies :)14:38
_Simeapachelogger: the lastest version PyQt and SIP will most likely fix that problem.14:50
apacheloggerI thought you would say that :(14:50
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: ^14:50
apacheloggerwanna give it a shot?14:50
JontheEchidnasure14:51
JontheEchidnaScottK: Weren't you looking at a python-qt4 merge earlier or something?14:51

apacheloggerJontheEchidna: that is qt3?14:55
* JontheEchidna couldn't find anything for qt414:55
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: anyway, pyqt4 got an update recently14:55
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: sip4-qt3 produces python-sip4 which python-qt4 deps on14:56

rgreening_Sime: ping15:27
_Simergreening: hi15:28
JontheEchidnaHmm, pyqt4 4.4.4 fails in the first patch15:28
rgreening_Sime: hey. I have a q for you.15:29
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: 4 hours?15:29
apacheloggerIIRC it were 2-3 days15:29
apacheloggereach at least 6 hours works15:30
apachelogger-s15:30
JontheEchidnayou would probably know better15:30
_Simergreening: well let me have it.15:31
rgreening_Sime: I have a pyKDE4 app, which needs admin rights. I run it via kdesudo. However, doing this, breaks KHelpMenu as it isn't running a full KDE session. I was wondering, is there a proper or semi-good way to make this work? I'd prefer if the KHelpMenu would run stuff as the user (i.e. url and e-mail links).15:31
apacheloggerrgreening: why is the whole app running with admin rights anyway?15:32
apacheloggerI would assume it aggregates a list of changes and applies them once15:32
rgreeningapachelogger: It's a front-end to a firewall app and changes occur as added.15:32
apacheloggermust be a gnome firewall15:33
rgreeningufw is a python fw15:33
rgreeningwhich talks to iptables/netfilter15:33
apacheloggerit shouldn't be necessary to run any gui app with sudo15:33
apacheloggercertain tasks maybe, not the GUI though15:34
rgreeningapachelogger: I need admin to read the config, write the config and add/remove rules15:34
apacheloggerrgreening: that is always weird15:34
apacheloggerwhat is ufw doing then?15:34
rgreeningapachelogger, _Sime: so the question becomes, what's the best/correct way to do this?15:34
rgreeningapachelogger: ufw talks direct to netfilter/iptables in the kernel to provide real time filter rules15:35
_Simergreening: that's not really a python specific question. Anyway, which version of KDE should this work on?15:35
apacheloggeryeah but how does your app relate to ufw if you are minupulating the config yourself?15:35
rgreening_Sime: I'm using pyKDE415:35
rgreeningapachelogger: I was planning on making calls to ufw15:36
rgreening_Sime: so, KDE415:36
* apachelogger finds the approach of ufw very weird15:36
rgreeningapachelogger: not really15:36
_SimeKDE 4.2 might have better support for policykit.15:37
apachelogger<3 policykit15:37
_Simethat is the modern way of doing this kind of thing.15:37
rgreeningapachelogger: I could defer sudo to everytime I need to apply/remove a rule, but that potentially means the user has to enter their password multiple times15:37
apacheloggerrgreening: sudo got caching15:37
rgreeningapachelogger: can you set the session timeout for the duration of the app?15:38
apacheloggerno15:38
apacheloggerthat doesn't matter because every su call we have is in fact a sudo call and leads to caching15:38
apacheloggerrgreening: the GUI should only be talking to ufw eitherway, and to do that you shouldn't need an advanced permission set at all15:39
apacheloggerufw should handle permission15:39
rgreeningapachelogger: ufw requires admin to run15:39
apacheloggerufw is a daemon I guess?15:39
rgreeningufw us called with some su15:39
rgreeningno, it's an app15:40
apacheloggerI give up that concept is clearly not apachelogger proof15:40
rgreeninge.g.: ufw allow 21/tcp15:40
apacheloggerOo15:41
rgreeningsudo ufw allow 21/tcp15:41
apacheloggerrgreening: that thing must have a lib15:41
rgreeningit has a lot of python files15:41
rgreeningbut none appear to be modules15:42
rgreening_Sime: any suggestions on how to run an app as a user but maybe attach some kpart (or similar) in it run as another user?15:42
JontheEchidnayay, I fixed the patch15:42
JontheEchidnaany  python file can be impoted as a module, right?15:43
_Simergreening: kparts run in-process.15:43
_SimeI guess so.15:44
_Simergreening: does the gnome version of ufw use policykit?15:44
rgreening_Sime: no, it needs to be called with sudo (or similar)15:45
apacheloggerhm15:46
apacheloggerrgreening: how do you call your app exactly?15:46
apacheloggercall/start15:46
rgreeningkdesudo app15:46
* JontheEchidna out for half an hour-ish15:47
apacheloggerrgreening: that might in fact not preserve your environment settings15:47
rgreeningno, and if I run it with -E, kde pukes15:48
rgreeningsry, that was with sudo -E I had tried15:48
apacheloggersudo is not made for that kind of stuff15:48
apacheloggerthe whole design is not made for that kind of stuff15:48
* apachelogger wanders of mumbling about the superior design of linux... running apps as different user...15:49
rgreeningit'd be nice if ufw was setuid to admin15:49
rgreeningsetgid I mean15:49
rgreening_Sime: no suggestions15:51
rgreeningbesides policykit15:51
_Simergreening: not really,15:52
* rgreening crys15:52
rgreeningapachelogger, _Sime: I think for now (until I come up with something better), I'll run as normal user, make calls to ufw with kdesudo, and hopefully the caching will be sufficient.16:01
rgreeningapachelogger: does kdesudo reset the cache timer each time make a subsequent call to kdesudo?16:02
apacheloggerrgreening: I think so16:05
manchickenIs there a doc on how to set up a translation environment, and begin doing translations?  For that matter, is there anything that needs translations?16:08
manchickenallee_: Long time no see.16:13
ryanakcaapachelogger: finally getting around to kiosktool, rational is that it's KDE3 and there is no KDE4 version in sight?16:28
apacheloggerryanakca: exactly16:28

apacheloggerryanakca: well, they need fixing, nothing to ack there, I can confirm them if you want ;-)16:40
