earleJudging from the lack of response to my query I guess I asked in the wrong place... sorry to bother you all.00:01
smarterearle: you can look into ~/.xsession-erros00:03
smarter~/.xsession-errors actually00:03
earleAh, thanks. I'd been looking at /var/log/kdm, which didn't show much.00:03
tarimariRiddell: sorry. i just ask here because i suppose you the developers know better what should be used, since it was just released. you as experienced user and developer, which one you propose?00:03
earleHm, not much to go on in that log file.00:06
smartertarimari: we're probably going to drop guidance-power-manager support, since powerdevil is officially supported by KDE00:06
tarimarithanks smarter00:08
tarimarii just understood how powerdevil works. it is much better00:09
tarimarisee u00:09
tarimariso guidance is only for kde. what ubuntu gnome uses?00:09
=== _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde
tarimariis this a bug? : powerdevil thinks that i have 3 batteries ..lol. i just have one00:32

earleEr guys... if you have a symlink in your ~/Desktop to /home/yourname,00:47
earledon't try moving it to the trash from your desktop view plasmoid.00:48
earleIt moves the TARGET directory.00:48
* earle narrowly avoided trashing his whole home directory00:48
earleI'd rate that as a serious bug....00:48
seeleearle: i assume it was symblically linked?00:56
seele*symbolically00:57
earleYeah. ln -s /home/earle /home/earle/Desktop/home00:57
earleI was getting rid of it because of the new Home.desktop.00:57
earleThankfully the trash refused to accept my 60GB homedir :)00:57
* JontheEchidna has a theory00:57
JontheEchidnanevermind my theory, I can't reproduce the problem01:02
earleI'll go file a bug - upstream would be the best place, I guess?01:03
JontheEchidnayes, but you might have to wait a bit01:03
JontheEchidnatheir servers get hammered so they traditionally shut down the bug tracker on release day01:04
earleYeah, I can understand that. Cheers.01:11
earle(Incidentally, this is the most awesome window manager ever)01:12
seelehuh, of all the blog entries i've written, i'd have thought the last one would spark lots of discussion through commenting01:12
seelemaybe it *was* too long..01:12
claydohScottK: I had changed that, loos like I missed a couple of screenshots02:35
ScottKclaydoh: I think it's a great piece of work.02:35
ScottKI hope someime like jjesse_ or nixternal will pick it up as a basis for an update in kubuntu-docs02:36
seeleanyone else using 4.2 have weird sizing issues with krunner?02:37
JontheEchidnaWhen I initially upgraded krunner started resizing to the full width of my screen02:37
JontheEchidnabut then I removed ~/.kde/share/config/krunnerrc and everything was fine02:37
claydohScottK: I hope to be able to help in the docs area, at least a little02:44
tvakahokay, what package do I need to nuke to get rid of the damned "application has crashed" popups?02:50
tvakahthey only serve to cause continual pain to my system tray, which is flakey enough as it is02:50
=== jjesse_ is now known as jjesse
JontheEchidnatvakah: sudo apt-get remove apport-qt should do it02:59
JontheEchidnakonq-plugins is being very pleasent to update03:00
JontheEchidnanew binary packages, a patch that disables some plugins that no longer applies (and actually some plugins in the patch no longer need disabling)03:01
JontheEchidnaa ton of changed file names03:01
ScottKWindows is so flipping counter intuitive.03:14
jjessewhy now?03:14
ScottKI have an HP printer on a Jet Direct box on my network03:15
ScottKI needed to print from Window XP.03:15
jjessebut you didn't have the write drivers?03:15
ScottKOn Kubuntu it all just automagically works.03:15
ScottKThat's just the start.03:15
ScottKI start with "It's a network printer"03:16
ScottKIt can't find it for anything.03:16
ScottKI download drivers.03:16
ScottKNo help there.03:16
ScottKIt turns out I have to set up a local printer, bind the IP address to a port, select the driver, and then it works.03:16
jjessewow that's wierd03:17
ScottKHow the heck is Grandma supposed to do that?03:17
ScottKKubuntu since at least Feisty it just - bam - works.03:17
ScottKIt's not like HP Jet Direct is a new or obscure approach to things.03:18
yuriyis it much older than 2001?03:18
yuriywp says yes03:19
* ScottK tries to remember.03:22
ScottKIt's newer than that.03:22
ScottKI got married in 2001 and I got it after.03:22
jcastroScottK: on vista and 7 that just works btw (printer detection)03:22
jcastroit's still not as nice as our thing though03:23
ScottKjcastro: Interesting.  I've never used either.03:23
yuriyScottK: but jetdirect first came out in 199103:23
ScottKRight.03:23
ScottKThe only times I've used Vista is trying to help people out with stuff a couple of times.03:23
ScottKI couldn't do it.03:23
ScottKThis is, BTW, one of the great features of Vista IMO: If you have Vista, I'm not your free tech support.03:24
jjessei've never had printer problems in vista03:24
ScottKI was trying to help get WiFi set up.03:25
nhandler_jjesse: I only had printer problems with my Brother brinter. My HP printer worked out of the box with Ubuntu03:25
=== nhandler_ is now known as nhandler
jcastroScottK: wifi is routinely broken so it's no surprise.03:25
ScottKI finally concluded that they should leave it unecrypted because it was just too frickin hard.03:25
JontheEchidnaI always have had to configure my LaserJet 4L with a printer config tool, but it's never been a hastle. (This printer could be as old as me)03:25
ScottKGood printers though.03:25
ScottKI remember when they came out.03:26
JontheEchidnabut unlike the cheap printers of today, this one still works and has only had to get a part replacement once03:26
yuriyclearly a bad product for selling printers03:26
jcastroI have a 4100, love it to death03:26
ScottKRight, but HP is in the paper/ink business and they know it.03:26
* vorian is in the marke for a new printer03:37
vorianmarket even03:37
ScottKCan go wrong with a used laserjet 3 or 4.03:38
ScottK5 was crap.03:38
* claydoh got a free brother b&w laser printer from work becuse "it stopped working" so they replaced it :)03:46
* claydoh tool it home, clean it a little, plugged it in and been printing fine ever since03:47
claydohthey had a repair man look at it lol it was just a low toner!!!!03:48
claydoheven the tech didn't catch that03:48
JontheEchidnaScottK: I've updated konq-plugins for the 4.2.0 release, here's the revu link: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=konq-plugins04:14
nhandlerjjesse: Why are you using REVU for an upgrade?04:15
nhandler* JontheEchidna04:16
JontheEchidnawhy not? It's well suited for the task04:16
nhandlerJontheEchidna: REVU is not meant to be used for upgrades. You are meant to file a bug on LP with the .diff.gz04:16
ScottKnhandler: Technically that's right, but there's no harm either.04:17
JontheEchidnathis is part of the KDE release, which we don't file reports for anyway04:17
ScottKActually not quite.04:17
ScottKREVU is not currently used for upgrades.04:17
ScottKIt was designed for it and was for some time.04:17
nhandlerIt used to be used for upgrades iirc04:17
jjessei was like what the heck i have no idea what you were talking about nhandler04:17
ScottKThe upgrade bugs are a convenience for coordinating work.04:18
ScottKWe have another workflow in this team, so the upgrade bugs are just pointless paperwork.04:18
JontheEchidnaapachelogger always says he'd prefer that whenever I ping him for an upgrade review so I thought I'd try it04:18
* ScottK too.04:18
vorianwhen did kpovmodeler go to main?04:20
JontheEchidnao.o04:21
ScottKJontheEchidna: Looks like that one was 'fun'.04:23
JontheEchidnahehe04:24

JontheEchidnaI have done build and runtime testing, to a degree04:29
* JontheEchidna out04:29
a|wenRiddell: the intrepid instructions on kubuntu.org (bullet 6) mentions "KDE 4.2 Release Candidate" instead of "KDE 4.2"04:43
ScottKMaybe ryanakca is awake.04:46
ScottKHe can fix that.04:46
ScottKJontheEchidna: Uploaded.  Thanks.04:46
ScottKRiddell: konq-plugins will need some Binary New.04:46
* a|wen supposes he got the message now04:46
a|wenScottK: btw, i'm pretty sure i've found a solution for the crashing in kmail 4.1.4 ... found a 4.2 commit fixing the equivalent crash; i'll try backporting and testing04:47
ScottKExcellent.04:47
ScottKvorian: Yours is test building.04:48
ScottKvorian: Congrats on the dkim-milter security upload.  Is that your first?05:07
ScottKvorian: Why do we still need the transitional package?05:15
ScottKMy vote is drop it, so I'm not uploading this.05:15
ScottKPlus it's late and I'm tired or I'd just fix it.05:16
torkianoScottK: minimize to tray in quassel now works in your latest PPA, thank you05:17

Tonio_hi there10:11
Tonio_can someone test the kepas plasmoid ? it crashes plasma on my side...10:11
Tonio_hum new upstream version released anyway.... testing10:16

stdin^ I followed the coding style of the author, which I'm not too keen on10:35
Tm_Tstdin: #plasma btw10:36
Tm_Tstdin: shame I cannot help on this myself10:36
stdinTm_T: I didn't really touch any of the plasma stuff, it's just a "backend" that sends data to the server10:37
stdinthis plasmoid would be perfect for python-plasma btw, then adding paste servers wouldn't require editing 5 files and recompilation...10:38
* stdin tries a test build in his ppa10:38
Tm_Tstdin: that IS plasma stuff (:10:39
Tm_Tstdin: it's plasma service, right?10:39
stdinTm_T: the applet uses abstract classes that just do the HTTP stuff, with KIO10:40
Tm_Tstdin: hmmm, dunno really10:40
Tm_Tstdin: still, #plasma is good place, there's authors of pastebin plasmoid too10:40
stdinlet me see if it works first, I don't want to look dumb :P10:41
EagleScreenwhat happens with kweather plasmoid in Kubuntu? It is installed but does not figure in widgets list, so it cannot be added/used10:49
Tm_Tstdin: you can't look dumber than aseigo10:50

ghostcubeguys hello and a question12:39
ghostcubewhy is the plasma panel blue with compiz12:40
ghostcubein 4.212:40
Riddellthat's artwork for you, full of colours12:40
smarterit's blue without it too12:40
smarterit takes the color of the background12:40
* smarter likes it :)12:40
ghostcubehow to get rid of this blue thingy lol12:40
ghostcubei want opacity panal12:40
smarterget a black wallpaper? :p12:41
ghostcubei have one12:41
ghostcubestill blue12:41
ghostcubethats why i ask12:41
ghostcube:P12:41
smartertried using kwin composite?12:41
ghostcubenope12:41
ghostcubeshouldnt matter12:41
ghostcubecompiz does real alpha opacity too12:41
ghostcubeoO12:41
smarteryou''l have a transparent background12:41
ghostcubei dont want to use kde4 effects12:42
smarteranother option is using a different plasma theme(try Aya, supposed to be good and follow the colors you've chosen in systemsettings)12:42
ghostcubei have 3 diferent ones12:42
ghostcubeno opacity12:42
ghostcubeits just not working only the base panel12:42
ghostcubethe others work12:42
ghostcubewait12:43
ghostcubehttp://picpaste.de/pics/screenshot5.1233146654.png12:44
ghostcubeas you can see all works only base panel gets still blue12:44
ghostcubethis cant be12:44
ghostcubeand thsi only happens with compiz it wouldnt be nice if kde4 is trying to get rid of compiz by doing such starnge things12:46
smarterdon't get paranoiac, plasma devs probably don't use compiz at all12:48
ghostcubehehe12:48
earleAh yes, I'd been meaning to ask if anyone else had had compiz stop working.12:48
ghostcube:D12:48
smarterthere is no if ( hasCompiz() ) { borkDisplay(); } :p12:48
ghostcubei asked in #kubuntu more than me noticing this12:48
ghostcubesmarter, ok i will believe you :P12:48
ghostcubelol12:48
earleOh oops, this is -devel, sorry.12:49
apacheloggerjust no one cares about compiz12:50
apacheloggerand since the compiz devs are mostly gnomies they don't care about kde12:50
apacheloggerso they keep on patching gnome to work, but don't care about kde12:50
apachelogger...not like the gnome devs would care much about compiz either :P12:51
ghostcubeapachelogger, i know you dont like it but as i sayd in kubuntu-de its not a i hate kde4 effects or i hate compiz thing12:51
ghostcubeits just both are there both doing the same12:52
apacheloggerI don't hate it12:52
earleHeh, as long as *someone* patches up compiz to work with 4.2, I'll be happy.12:52
apacheloggerit is just a waste of resource12:52
apacheloggerand I can understand anyone who doesn't want to support it as well as kwin or metacity12:52
ghostcubeapachelogger, ok thhis could be biut we startet with beryl in supporting and we still support the guys not running kubuntu :)12:52
ghostcubebut the problem is why the panel stopped being transpa with 4.2 thats all and only the base panel apachelogger the rest works fine12:53
ghostcubeits no secret that the compiz devs arent the best once for ongoing coding lol12:53
ghostcubethey are a bit strange by having theire ideologies12:53
apacheloggerghostcube: because no one cares about compiz12:54
ghostcubeapachelogger, :P12:54
ghostcubehehe12:54
apacheloggerwell, novell probably does12:54
apacheloggerthat's about it12:54
Arbyghostcube: it could well be just that none of the plasma devs are aware of the issue.12:54
Arbysince it's them that will need to fix it12:55
Arbyso I would check bugs.kde.org for any known12:55
Arby*bugs12:55
ghostcubeoh damn i always forget the plamsa channel12:55
Arbyand if not then file one12:55
Arbyeither they'll fix it or they'll say no12:55
ghostcubehehe12:55
Arbybut that would be the best course of action :)12:56
ghostcubehmm i ask in plasma maybe first i havent found any bug for plasma and compiz till now12:56
ghostcubeon bugtracker12:56
Arbysounds like a good idea12:56

ScottKseele: Weird.14:22
ScottKSput: ^^^ Suggestions on seele's problem?14:22
SputScottK: missing sqlite support in Qt14:22
tvakahjussi01: how'd you get a working nm-plasmoid?14:23
ScottKRight, but she's running vanilla Intrepid which certainly does have that.14:23
jussi01tvakah: grabbed svn, compiled, added to the taskbar, rebooted, it worked14:24
tvakahjussi01: ahh so no package then, gotcha14:24
jussi01ScottK: seele IIRC install libqt4-sql-sqlite14:25
ScottKThen if that fixes it I get to figure out why that isn't in depends.14:25
rgreeningnm-plasmoid is built somewhere. Tonio_ built and submitted one.14:25
jussi01rgreening: is it updasted though? the fix to make it work was today or yesterday14:26
rgreeningoh14:26
seeleerm..14:27
seeleThe following packages have unmet dependencies:14:27
seele  libqt4-sql-sqlite: Depends: libqt4-sql (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.1) but 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 is to be installed14:27
seele                     Depends: libqtcore4 (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.1) but 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 is to be installed14:27

seeleit wants to remove quassel, heh14:28
jussi01err, what?14:29
* jussi01 is furiously trying to remember if thats the correct package, Im not certain, but pretty sure14:29
ScottKseele: You need to install it from intrepid-proposed14:30
seeleoh, damnit14:30
* seele will have to mess with it later14:30

ryanakcajjesse: ping, Will you be around in a few hours so we can sort out help.kubuntu.org?15:24
=== _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde
jussi01seele: did you get that issue fixed?15:33
seelejussi01: yes, -proposed worked15:45
jussi01seele: and adding that package fixed quassel for you?15:45
seelejussi01: using -f installed sql and it fixed it yes15:45
seeleer, whatever that package was15:46
seelesql-lite or something?15:46
jussi01ScottK: so you need to add that to the depends methinks15:46
jussi01seele: libqt4-sql-sqlite15:47
seeleSput: so i think the quick and easy fix to quassel start up is to have the Configure Networks dialog open by default. so users immediately know to configure irc and connect it.  the only change that needs to happen to the existing configure networks dialog is some type of "Connect Now" button or functionality15:47
seeleSput: also, either a) the Configure Networks dialog needs to be slightly larger or b) the Configure Identities dialog needs to be slightly smaller -- when you click on the configure button the dialogs overlap and you dont realise what happened15:48
seeleSput: it's hard to tell there are now two configure dialogs, it looks like the dialog got replaced.  having different window sizes will help that15:49
seeleanyone else having plasma performance problems?15:53
Tm_Twhat kind of performance problems?15:53

larsivi__do you guys know if there are changes in how dark themes are handled in the web browsers in 4.2?16:23
Tm_Tlarsivi__: what web broswers exactly?16:24
larsivi__Tm_T: well first it was only konqueror, but with some update it suddenly was messed up in firefox too16:24
larsivi__Tm_T: the problem is that most sites with forms don't handle forms properly and so bg and fg colours are the same16:24
Tm_Tlarsivi__: firefox does color handling itself16:25
larsivi__mine is black as the night16:25
Tm_Tlarsivi__: for Konqueror, it's partly broken websites16:25
ScottKThat wasn't so bad.  Way faster than kvirc to build.16:25
larsivi__when most sites are "broken", then the browser needs to do the right thing (which is not being stubborn about standards or something else vague)16:25
Tm_Tlarsivi__: most browsers force defaults16:26
Tm_Tlarsivi__: you can do that with Konqueror too16:26
Tm_Tlarsivi__: but it's just merely sweeping trashes under the carpet16:26
larsivi__Tm_T: really? it wasn't possible the last time I checked16:26
larsivi__there is a very long bug report on kde.org about it16:26
larsivi__long and old16:26
Tm_TI know16:26
Tm_Tlarsivi__: check settings part mumbling about css or stylesheet16:27
larsivi__Tm_T: it fixes body bg colour for most sites, but not all forms16:27
larsivi__if any forms16:27

Tm_Tlarsivi__: you have to force both background AND foreground colours16:29

larsivi__(one that I cannot use for banking cannot be considered usable)16:30
Tm_Tlarsivi__: aye, really this is problem with every browser out there some way or another16:31

apacheloggerrgreening: kded watches the kservice directory for changes and executes buidsycoca upon change16:33
apacheloggeror at least I think it is kded ;-)16:33
larsivi__Tm_T: seriously, much more than half of the sites I use (need to use) are broken for me, and then I feel there needs to be an easy fix/workaround in the browser16:33
Tm_Tlarsivi__: I agree16:34
larsivi__Riddell: "There probably will at least a few bugs with this release and it is recommended that you do not file bug reports against the packages in this release"16:34
Tm_Tlarsivi__: to me, somewhat useful solution with Konqueror is to use custom css as a base16:34
Riddellthere probably will be :)16:34
Riddellbut right, that should be upated16:34
larsivi__Tm_T: I did install a custom css from that ticket, but it isn't good enough - I suppose it could be updated further16:35
Tm_Tlarsivi__: I use my own custom css16:35
larsivi__Tm_T: feel like sharing? :)16:36
Tm_Thmm, sure, though it's on my other computer, so you have to wait16:36
larsivi__no problem, I've had this issue since 8.10 was released ...16:36

ScottKThe only effect I use a lot is the one where I go in the upper left corner to see all the windows.16:46
Riddellcompositing is unusably slow on my intel graphics machine in jaunty16:46

ScottKa|wen: Excellent.16:55
seeleSput: probably not. the welcome screen was nice because there wasn't anything going on by default, but if we're going to encourage people to connect on startup (or automatically) then it isn't that important16:56
knusperfroschjust installed apt-file, got a message i should run apt-file update, clicked on "run this action now", konsole opens and closes immediately. i guess it doesn't run kdesudo apt-file update?16:56

rgreeningScottK: does the patch for xserver you removed exist in Jaunty?17:24
ScottKrgreening: No.  It's been removed there already.17:25
ScottKJust had a fun fight in #ubuntu-devel with one of the compiz upstreams over a possible SRU.17:25
a|wenScottK: think not ... doesn't say me anything17:25
ScottKThe issue was if you have a plasmoid running that uses sound (say teacooker) once it exits, plasma never lets go of I forget which sound device that jackd needs to get ahold of.17:26
ScottKghostcube: Was that your issue?17:27
* ScottK forgets who ....17:27
a|wenScottK: ahh, i get it now17:27
ghostcubenah its just as long s you run the plugin plasma grabs hw:017:27
ScottKThat's it.17:28
* a|wen was mostly just trying to verify it17:28
ScottKRight, so you seem to be REALLY good at sorting this stuff.17:28
a|wenScottK: the only thing i know is that for some reason the plasme plugin graps hw:0 ... if it is the plugin or plasma itself that does the weirdness is a good question17:30
ghostcubebrb testing xorg17:33
ghostcubehmm neded to login with a new session but then it worked fine17:38

a|wendo we have any other plasmoids emitting sound apart from teacooker?17:43
ScottKDunno17:45
jussi01ScottK: btw, bluetooth is still not working properly (from intrepid proposed) although this might be pebkac17:46
ScottKjussi01: I think it's not working well, but it's working at least for some.17:48

snikkerhi, i've installed kde 4.2 on intrepid... but i can't install digikam, can you help me?20:18
rgreeningJontheEchidna: got a q for the new mo-tu (I can rhyme all the time)20:19
JontheEchidnargreening: shoot20:20
rgreeningJontheEchidna: ok, so I have an icon in a package that gets default installed to a wrong dir, I need it to go to another dir.20:22
JontheEchidnaso the application itself is putting the icon into the wrong directory?20:22
rgreeningJontheEchidna: whats the best way to do this? can I do this in the install file somehow or do I need to muck with the rules20:22
rgreeningyeah, and I didn't want to have to patch the src20:22
Riddellsnikker: that's a known issue (and user questions to #kubuntu)20:22
Riddellsnikker: no way around it I'm afraid20:23
JontheEchidnahe could install digikam-kde420:23
rgreeningkvirc installs to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32 rather than /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps20:23

JontheEchidnargreening: hmm, I've never had to do anything like that20:23
snikkerJontheEchidna: ok, thanks now i try...20:24
DaSkreechIs it me or does ppa updates wipe out my preferences ?20:24
rgreeningJontheEchidna: I'm not sure if I can do something like usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/* usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/* in the install file in one line or not.. prob not20:25
JontheEchidnayeah, probably not20:25
rgreeningJontheEchidna: since this is a kde4 app, I am using the kde4.mk. What can I do then in the rules file to move the files around? any suggestion?20:28
JontheEchidnaI think even if you're using kde4.mk you can still have a custom install target20:29
JontheEchidnakdebindings has an example iirc20:30
snikkerJontheEchidna: another thing... did you know where i can get the gpg key for digikam-experimental package?20:30

seeleRiddell: i'm about to set out a reminder21:23
Riddellthanks21:23
Tonio_Riddell: about the videoplayer, should we consider reuse kmplayer as for konqueror and eventually dragonplayer replacement ?21:23
Tonio_Riddell: kaffeine looks like very very very slow porting....21:24
Tonio_Riddell: kmplayer in the work and works pretty decently...21:24
Riddellwhat's wrong with dragonplayer?21:24
Riddellideally we'd just use Qt 4.5 and its HTML5 stuff21:24
Tonio_no dvb, no subtitles etc....21:24
Tonio_Riddell: it is very basic21:24
Arbyis there anyway we can stop people doing partial upgrades on KDE releases?21:24
Arbyto stop the bug churn if nothing else21:25
Tonio_Riddell: you're not considered with english videos and subtitles, but a lot of people do :)21:25
Riddellseele: hmm, wiki down indeed21:25
seeleyay wiki is down21:25
rgreeningRiddell: so, you rebooted with the new Qt 4.5 and system started fine?21:26
Tonio_Arby: except from using a ppa, I don't think there is...21:26
stdinseele: wiki.ubuntu.com still works21:26
Tonio_Arby: on the other hand, kde doesn't upgrade on a released kubuntu :)21:26
Arbywell actually the people on that bug seem to be using jaunty21:27
Arbyso a certain amount of breakage is expected :)21:27
Tonio_Arby: so they should consider wait for all packages to be 4.2 before reporting bugs....21:28
ScottKAnd it they can't figure out how to do that they ought not to be running Jaunty21:28
Tonio_Arby: when you use jaunty, you have to consider things can break in the meantime where some components wait to be built...21:28
ArbyI agree with all of that :)21:28
Arbyjust thinking how to put it into nice words :)21:28
Tonio_Arby: bah explain there is a difference between what is a bug and what is a "in between state" where something like kde is in the process of uploading21:29
Tonio_and if they can't make the difference, they probably are not aknowledged enough on that point to be using jaunty21:30
Tonio_Arby: jaunty is only for powerusers and devs, that's it21:30

DaSkreech was that intentional?21:41
JontheEchidnaDaSkreech: it's in a new package21:41
DaSkreechMy wallapapers?21:41
JontheEchidnawell, the kde wallpapers moved to a different package in KDE 4.221:42
ScottKSo on my dead laptop, df -k shows 31451476 blocks and only 30032920 used.  Available is 021:42
DaSkreechI grabbed a lot of GHNS themes and wallpapers21:42
ScottKSuggestion?21:42
JontheEchidnaoh, then no clue21:42
DaSkreechI can't see them in the drop down list anymore and the ones I had selected are replaced21:42
DaSkreechIS that a PPA thing or just the packages?21:42
stdinwhere did you store the wallpapers?21:42
DaSkreechReplaced the KDM theme I had as well21:43
stdinor were then from GHNS21:43
DaSkreech Left the Grub Theme alone nicely21:43
DaSkreechFrom GHNS21:43
DaSkreechSo ~/.kde/share/something/wallpapers21:43
stdinare they still in ~/.kde/share/wallpapers/21:43
stdinwhen I upgraded it forgot my wallpaper settings, but everything is still there21:44
DaSkreechThere is wallpapers in there I'm trying to remember if I put those there manually they certainly are named as GHNS wallpapers21:44
DaSkreechEverything is there21:44
DaSkreechThemes and all21:44
DaSkreechbut I can't see them in the interface to select them21:45
DaSkreechWhich is scary to a user who had say 30 wallpapers and upon upgraded is presented with one chosen by the people in the intertubes21:45
stdinI can see mine (named <number>-<name>)21:45
Tonio_Riddell: so not interested in kmplayer right, appart from the konqueror plugin ?21:46
DaSkreechApperance Settings -> wallpaper -> dropdown ?21:46
stdinyeah21:46
Tonio_Riddell: I'm currently working on the kde4 version packaging, so that we can at least have the konq kpart21:46
DaSkreechI only have Air and only the Default KDE4 Themes21:46
DaSkreechall the ones I had specified before are gone from the list21:46
stdinall my themes are there21:46
DaSkreech the ones that I had applied are also removed21:46
DaSkreechSo my wallpapers are all Air now and my theme was removed (whch is annoying since there was no Font info so Font colour was the same as the background)21:47
stdinyep, all 14 of them21:47
DaSkreechI have 6 which I presume shipped with KDE421:48

DaSkreechrickspencer3: It's ok it's beside the point :) Edubuntu has very peculiar challenges they need something more than a general team23:53
rickspencer3t know the whole team charter yet, and also as staff changes, the charter may change subtly, as other influences can change it over time as well23:53
rickspencer3DaSkreech: I'm just saying that I'm still keeping an open mind, but clearly releases Ubuntu Desktop and Kubuntu are the key values that the team brings to Canonical (at least I think that's clear)23:53
DaSkreechYes I know just wanted to be clear on that as well23:54
DaSkreechSooo harder questions. Would Workflow/Usabilty of key user experiences be judged and addressed by this team?23:54
jjesseone quick question i forgot to raise in the meeting is i've been asked to version 4 of the official ubuntu book done by feb 23, is the system going to close enough to complete to acomplish that task?23:55
DaSkreechjjesse: What? Why is it timed for then?23:55
rickspencer3DaSkreech: Can you give me an example of the kind of the thing you are thinking of?23:55
jjesseso it can be released on release date23:55
jjesseDaSkreech: i take it by your response they are smoking crack?23:56
jjessewhen is string freeze?23:56
DaSkreechrickspencer3: Well the desktop user todays expects a certain level of ease and to some polish23:56
DaSkreechhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule23:57
rickspencer3Well, I definitely have a personal goal to work with other Canonical teams, as well as the community, upstreams, etc... to bring that level of polish23:57
DaSkreechWould the team be trying to ensure that even with changes that certin key usabilty points are kept sane?23:57
jjessewow thats not even before UIFreeze :(23:57
rickspencer3and I think my background in Ux was one of the things that interested Canonical in hiring me23:57
DaSkreechjjesse: This is the publishers?23:57
DaSkreechYeah I noticed that :)23:58
DaSkreechthat was to rickspencer323:58
jjesseDaSkreech: yes publisher23:58
DaSkreechjjesse: This is an agreement with canonical that you are on the train for correct?23:58
rickspencer3DaSkreech: did you have something particular in mind?23:58
jjesseDaSkreech: publisher asked if that was reasonable23:59
DaSkreechrickspencer3: Yes We had an issue with Firefox recently where it installed all of Gnome for one package which was argued should be made suggested23:59
Riddelljjesse: that's pretty early, but the main stuff ought to be, KDE 4.2 of course is in, Amarok and packagekit should be in by then23:59
DaSkreechwhich made KDE people a bit upset23:59
jjesseRiddell: i'll let deb know that is a bit early but we can aim for it23:59
DaSkreechjjesse: For KDE stuff I guess it's pretty solid but that's a crazy time line23:59
