ryanakcaRiddell: For the wiki, I asked around a few days ago if people would rather have links (like kubuntu.org, top right) and a search box, or just a search box like on help.u.c/community/ , and the reply was just a search box. Is that good, or would you like me to go for links and search box?16:02

JontheEchidnaArby: for me it crashes right before waitwindow is shown, but I'm not sure that showing the window is causing the crash...16:38
JontheEchidnaI marked where it crashes for me with a comment and committed it to bzr16:38
JontheEchidnaand yes, that's what the crash looks like :P16:38
ArbyJontheEchidna: yes, I know what causes the issue at waitwindow16:38
Arbyjust not how to fix it16:39
JontheEchidnaoh, cool. what's the cause?16:39
Arbyit's a problem with class inheritance16:39
JontheEchidnafun16:39
ArbyNewPrinterGUI inherits from kcm-scpk.GUI16:39
Arbyit needs to inherit from .PyKcm _ I think16:40
ArbyThe crash that kills kcmshell seems to be to do with funky thread handling16:40
JontheEchidnayeah, same with jockey...16:40
ArbyI've figured out where it occurs in the python code16:40
Arbybut that's about i16:41
Arby*it16:41
ArbyI was hoping you might have a solution16:41
ArbyI'm somewhat out of my depth now16:41
JontheEchidnainheritance and visibilities are somewhat my weaknesses too, unfortunately16:41
ArbyI _think_ it's that a new thread is created then exits with some kind of non-NULL state16:42
Arbybut I've no idea how to make it exit in a way that makes kcmshell happy16:42
JontheEchidnaif GUI() and PyKcm were somehow merged....16:43
JontheEchidnamabye that would help16:43
ArbyI did look at that, it would be pretty hard16:43
Arby(for me at least)16:43
JontheEchidnayeah, unforunately I can't even do that with jockey due to its gui backend system...16:44
JontheEchidnait requires a ui to be created as a subclass of an AbstractUI class16:44
JontheEchidnaand I can't make it both a subclass of KCModule and AbstractUI, so I have to do that makeui() business16:44
Arbyat least that seems to work16:45
ArbyI thought that was quite neat :)16:45
JontheEchidnaaside from crashes :P (don't know if the crashes are related to the makeui method)16:45
JontheEchidnabut other than that I was sorta proud for figuring that out16:45
JontheEchidnaI'm just waiting for an experience pythonista to look at my code and faint16:46
Arbyshow them mine and it'll kill them off16:47
Arbythe GUI code and the underlying bindings to cups are all kind of mixed in together16:47
apacheloggeryou funny python people :P16:48
Arbybut I'm too wary of changing the cups stuff because I don't understand it well enough16:48
Arby:)16:48
Arbyif you wish to reimplement scpk and jockey in ruby feel free :)16:48
JontheEchidnaI've asked some of the jockey dudes for assistance. After Alberto Milone finishes some of his other projects he's offered to take a look at my code16:48
JontheEchidnathere might be hope yet! (tm)16:49
apacheloggerScottK, Riddell: I think we can gain quite some space through amarok 2 ... it doesn't ship docs yet and doesn't depend on python/ruby anymore16:49

JontheEchidna(config-users.png is an example)17:51
Tm_TJontheEchidna: ubuntu-desktop ?17:52

movedloggernot an option then18:15
* movedlogger would like standard key codes -.-18:15
movedloggerThere is an still unfinished driver in X11 for using the /dev/input/event* devices which give much better access to the input event that the legacy raw mode. The X11 driver is named evdev like the kernel module providing these devices. It currently uses a hand crafted, compiled in table to map linux keycodes to X keysyms. If it could be extended to use the xkbd machinery it would be a good replacement for the kbd driver.18:17

apacheloggeruh, quassel in main is going to be fun19:50
smarteryay19:50
apacheloggerno clue how to do that19:50
smarterI did that sometimes ago for a package19:51
apacheloggerin order to import it's l10n template we need to run it through ts2po19:51
apacheloggerthen we can import to rosetta, but rosetta spits po files out and those become mo files19:51
apacheloggerQt only reads qm files19:52
apacheloggerso we would have to run the quassel po's through po2ts and then compile it using the Qt linguist stuff19:52
apacheloggerpitti is not going to like this19:52

apacheloggerthat is anything but normal20:49
JontheEchidnayeah, that's what I don't get. it should work20:49
apacheloggerwell20:49
apacheloggerit only gets rotated daily20:49
apacheloggerI can certainly introduce a max size20:49
JontheEchidnaoh, so if it generates all that in a day it's not a rotating issue20:50
apacheloggerbut that would only prevent the filling not resolve whatever is causing so much output ;-)20:50
JontheEchidnamaybe it could be related to the randr patch that filled Xorg.0.log with craploads of data?20:50
apacheloggerthat is possible20:50
JontheEchidnawe could ask to see if there's any repitition of lines in the log files20:51
apacheloggerkdm will log some of the Xorg output as well IIRC20:51
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: ask him to paste the first 1k lines20:51

apacheloggerhm23:00
apacheloggerthis is interesting23:04
apacheloggerapparently .msi and .doc have the same header23:04
nhandlerWhat is apa?23:04
nhandlerWhy are you examining .msi and .doc files?23:05
apachelogger~wp apa23:05
kubotuResults for apa: 1. APA style: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APA_style | 2. Amateur press association: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_press_association | 3. Estilo APA: http://gl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estilo_APA23:05
kubotu[1] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia23:05
apacheloggernhandler: dolphin detects .doc files as windows installer thingies (.msi)23:05
apacheloggerand this is apparently because the header is identical and ksycoca weights the header data higher than the extension in mimetype detection23:06
apacheloggerunlike xdg-mime which correctly recognizes the .doc as ms word23:06
apacheloggerremoving the header bit from the freedesktop mimefile makes dolphin work properly23:08
seelehuh.. that's funny23:12
seeleapachelogger: to me, APA style means American Pyschological Association which I use for research papers23:12
apacheloggeryou americans :P23:13
apacheloggeroh come on now23:13
apacheloggermicrosoft--23:13
apacheloggeronly some doc files have that header clash23:14
apacheloggere.g. ones exported from google docs (i.e. ooo) have a different header and thus get detected properly23:14
apacheloggerI think kde screwed up23:39
jussi01again? :P23:40
apacheloggeryes23:41
apacheloggerglob elements have a pattern attribute. Any file whose name matches this pattern will be given this MIME type (subject to conflicting rules in other files, of course).23:41
* jussi01 thinks it getting late and he should be in bed...23:42
apacheloggerto me that reads like "any file matching *.doc is msword unless another mimetype gives sufficient conflict to this believe"23:42
apacheloggerthe issue is caused by a magic element of the .msi mimetype23:43
apacheloggerand about these elements the spec sez:23:43
apacheloggermagic elements contain a list of match elements, any of which may match, and an optional priority attribute for all of the contained rules. Low numbers should be used for more generic types (such as 'gzip compressed data') and higher values for specific subtypes (such as a word processor format that happens to use gzip to compress the file). The default priority value is 50, and the maximum23:43
apacheloggerconsidering the .msi magic has a priority of 50 it should not be sufficient conflict23:44
apacheloggerassuming it would a value > 50 if .msi is the one and only file to use a given pattern (because of example it has a gigantic header which doesn't change at all)23:45
apacheloggers/of example/for example23:45
* apachelogger should also be in bed23:45
apacheloggerfreedesktop.org specs are way too unprecise for my liking :P23:53
Nightroseapachelogger: see #amarok23:54
steveireHi. I'm trying to find the people resonsible for the nightly builds of kde4 (project neon, right?), or just a good page of info on it. gg: project neon doesn't really have the nuts.23:55
Nightrosesteveire: what do you need?23:55
steveireI think it could be a far easier way for new developers to get 'trunk' and contribute to modules and applications without having to maintain their own trunk checkout of kdelibs, dependancies changing like libical in the last few months etc. I want to know if the packages install development headers.23:57
Nightroseyou can install them yes23:57
steveireI know there's also kdesvn-build, but project neon could be easier.23:57
steveireNightrose: Do you know who is involved with creating the packages etc?23:58
Nightroseapachelogger is23:58
steveireAh, right. well, apachelogger ping :)23:58
