jjesseDaSkreech: tell me that, you aren't the one writin docs for both kubuntu/kde/book + real life00:00
DaSkreechThe workflow for installing an app or indeed any other action shouldn't be dangerous in one desktop versus another00:00
rickspencer3DaSkreech: yeah00:01
DaSkreechjjesse: I'm here for proof reading Throw things at me as soon as you want00:01
rickspencer3these are deep conversations, can we pick them up later?00:01
jjesseDaSkreech: thanks, i just got the final copy of version 3 so.....00:01
rickspencer3I lurk here pretty much every day00:01
jjesserickspencer3: is there a rickspencer2 and rickspencer1 as well?00:02
jjesse:)00:02
DaSkreechrickspencer3: a lot of this could be mitigated if there was a method of a) shouting that you are doing something that might hurt the other (for you) unknown desktops and b) a way to scream for help if packages or choices drastically alter a user's experience out of box00:02
DaSkreechrickspencer3: Sure I'm mostly pokable if I'm on line00:03
rickspencer3jjesse: yes, rickspencer1 was my grandpa, rickspencer2 is my dad, and rickspencer4 is my son (no lie)00:03
jjessewow cool00:03
DaSkreechHa ha :-)00:03

yuriyblizzz: I was talking about making kubuntu versions of that00:05
blizzzyuriy: per se we are interested in it00:07
yuriyblizzz: I'd like some estimates for orders so I can propose them for the next batch00:08
blizzzyuriy: what would they cost, and what is the shippinbg ot germany?00:08
blizzzshipping to00:08
yuriyI can't find the pricing chart right now unfortunately, I think doctormo took it down. I think we got it down to about 50 cents a piece last time with some huge number of orders for the Ubuntu ones00:10
yuriyi'm primarily guaging interest right now00:11
blizzzyuriy: when do you need to knwo it at latest? interesting for us are the shipping costs to germany. we'd be intererested in 100 pieces.00:15
yuriyblizzz: that's all I was looking for, thanks.  I'll get back to you with more info if this gets off the ground. this is germany loco?00:17

seelergreening: hi!00:28
rgreeningwazzup00:28
seelergreening: do you remember volunteering to look at kpackagekit at UDS? :)00:29
jjessergreening: are you still working ufw-kde and if so is there an alpha or something that i could look at for documentation?00:29
jjessergreening: that is to start documenting?00:29
rgreeningseele: yeah, I remember something about the categories, which seem to be in the app (and we couldn't find at the time)00:30
seelergreening: right, so we need to know if it would be possible to add another page to be able to search for applications (rather than packages)00:30
seeleand possibly make some tweaks to searching00:30
rgreeningjjesse: no update on ufw-kde since. It's in my PPA, and the gui front end is pretty complete, just needs some back-end work and to figure out the whole sudo requiremnt for the app00:31
Riddellnight all00:31
rgreeningRiddell: nn00:31
ScottK-desktopapachelogger: I don't think it's in our power to prevent Rosetta from producing crap language packs.00:31
jjessergreening: so i can install from your ppa and start documenting it? is it intrepid or jjaunyt?00:31
rgreeningseele: that should be doable.00:31
rgreeningjjesse: I believe I packaged for intrepid00:32
* jjesse looks at his documentation list and shudders00:32
rgreeningjjesse: I'd leave the ufw-kde towards bottom of list00:32
seelergreening: ok.  let me know after you look at it. there isn't much time left before ff00:32
jjessergreening: dont worry i have :)00:32
rgreeningseele: I know... time flies way too quickly00:33
rgreeningI'm trying to get qt4.5 to behave with kde4.2. I get crashes and so does Riddell.00:33
rgreeningjjesse: if you use my PPA, I have qt4.5 in there so be careful if you dont want it.00:34

ScottK-desktopRiddell: Kees +1 for Quassel is now fully reflected in the MIR text.02:28
ScottK-desktopnhandler: Install KDE 4.2 from our PPA and for a plasmoid it'll be indistinguishable from Jaunty.02:29
nhandlerScottK-desktop: I'm holding off installing KDE right now. I'm hoping to do some jaunty debugging over the weekend02:30

lex79yes, all plasmoids FTBS in lpia, I don't know why...03:01
ScottKBecause kde4libs is currently FTBFS in lpia due to X borkage03:02
ScottKAll you'll get right now are i386, amd64, and armel if you're lucky.03:02

JontheEchidnanhandler: thanks for the link also03:05
nhandlernp JontheEchidna. That wiki page really should be better linked to. It is really useful03:05
JontheEchidnayeah, I was wondering where something like that was03:06
nhandlerJontheEchidna: Also remember to change your dput.cf file so that it doesn't upload to the Ubuntu repos by default03:06
ScottKWhich wiki page?03:06
nhandlerScottK-desktop: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/New03:06
ScottKAh.03:06
JontheEchidnaI believe my default only allows a series of "UNRELEASED?!"03:06
JontheEchidnaallowed_distributions= (?!UNRELEASED)03:07
ScottKI default upload to 'bob'.03:07
ScottKHe never takes the package.03:07
JontheEchidnaoh, so that's how you guys sponsor my work03:08
* JontheEchidna feels enlightened03:09
ScottK;-)03:09
ScottKThat page didn't exist when I became a MOTU.03:09
* ScottK recalls doing his first post-MOTUhood merge and asking, "what do I do with it now."03:10
ScottKThe answer was, of course, "Upload it."03:10
nhandlerIf I remember, I might add some other common tasks that new MOTUs need to do to that wiki page03:11
ScottKWhen you're new is the time to do it.03:12
JontheEchidnaScottK: btw, did you see that bug I subscribed you to?03:13
nhandlerScottK: I'm still relatively new. I've only been a MOTU for a little over a month03:13
HobbseeNightrose: any idea who wrote the kde 4 release announcements?03:18
nhandlerHobbsee: I think Riddell did03:18
HobbseeNightrose: you might encourage whoever wrote them to use the spellcheck.03:18
Hobbseenhandler: for http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.2/desktop.php ?03:18
nhandlerHobbsee: I don't know about that. I thought you meant Kubuntu 4.2 release announcement03:19
Hobbseenhandler: no :)03:19
ScottKJontheEchidna: I did.03:27
ScottKI did read the whole history.03:27
DaSkreechJos and Sebas I think03:27
JontheEchidnaScottK: k, cool. I don't think it ever worked too well tbh03:28
ScottKJontheEchidna: From just the bugmail my initial reaction was "broken thing no one cares about may or may not be slightly more broken."03:28
* JontheEchidna seems to remember notes in the packaging suggesting as much03:28
JontheEchidnaScottK: yeah, I didn't even know that I couldn't care about it :P03:29
DaSkreechHobbsee: What's wrong with it?03:31
HobbseeDaSkreech: spelling of 'botom' on that link, for one.03:31
Hobbseei didn't carefully proof read it, but did notice that typo.03:31
nhandlerI just added a section to that wiki page about modifying your dput.cf file. I realize it is a little wordy, so if somebody wants to clean it up a little, it would be greatly appreciated03:33
BsimsI'd like to know if there is a script to package kde 3.5 in a semi automatic way and have it dump a Pile'O'Debs out03:33
BsimsI'd be willing to do some work and host a repo for it if it's not insanely complex I've used dpkg for single binaries03:34

JontheEchidnanhandler: yus, jpds did so this morning03:49
nhandler:)03:49
JontheEchidnaand I can find no further issues than the ones you mentioned :)03:49
nhandlerJontheEchidna: Do you want to make the changes and upload?03:50
JontheEchidnaIt would be good experience mehtinks03:50
JontheEchidnamethinks, even03:50
nhandlerOnce you upload, you will need to send an email to ubuntu-motu03:50
JontheEchidnaso make the changes, upload, advocate, archive?03:50
nhandlerFirst, add a comment advocating and saying you will upload03:51
nhandlerMake the changes to the package, upload to the repositories, and archive the upload on REVU03:51
nhandlerThen, send a copy of the email you get saying the package was accepted to ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com03:51
nhandlerJontheEchidna: Also, look at the last section on the new motu wiki page03:52
* JontheEchidna has said wiki page bookmarked03:52
nhandlerI remember when I first became a MOTU...I had printed out that wiki page and was reading it in the hallway before school03:53
JontheEchidnalol03:53
JontheEchidnahmm, now to elaborate on that long desc03:57
JontheEchidnawait, this might depend on kdeplasma-addons03:57
JontheEchidnafor the weather dataengine03:57
nhandlerlex79: Did it work without kdeplasma-addons?03:58
JontheEchidnathe homepage says as much too03:58
JontheEchidnaI think this will warrant another upload to revu03:59
lex79I don't try without kdeplasma-addons03:59
nhandlerJontheEchidna: There really is no need to upload again to REVU. What will that accomplish?03:59
lex79plasmoid-weather depends on kdeplasma-addons?03:59
JontheEchidnahmm, I guess you're right. The wiki said that more than minor changes should be noted in the changelog but since this is an initial release...04:00
JontheEchidnalex79: I'll take care of it04:00
nhandlerJontheEchidna: The only changes I normally include in the changelog for a new package are patches that I add, and a note if it had to be repacked04:00
JontheEchidnalex79: how is this for a long description:04:02
JontheEchidnaThis plasmoid shows the current temperature, as well as the weather forecast04:02
JontheEchidna for the next two days04:02
JontheEchidnahmm, maybe that comma isn't necessary04:02

JontheEchidnaok, so the weather dataengine is in kdebase-workspace-bin now04:17

Nightroseapachelogger: to get wireless working and so on http://www.array.org/ubuntu/index.html17:08

a|wensmarter: kget will not replace ktorrent there was some sorf of consensus about17:09
Nightroseapachelogger: hmm well hardy and intrepid don't17:09
apacheloggerhardy = old17:10
apacheloggerintrepid = not so old, but old17:10
Nightrosehehe17:10
smarterNightrose: ath5k works nicely on my EEE17:11
smarteron 8.1017:11
smarternot sure if it's related with the custom kernel but I don't think so17:11
smarterand jaunty probably has a recent enough version of ath5k17:11
Nightroseok I'll give it a try then17:11
smarterapachelogger: same for 4.1, 4.2? :P17:12
ScottKath5k was paricularly broken on Intrepid.17:12
ScottKIt's better with the kernel backports modules package (don't recall the exact name).17:13
* smarter should try compat-wireless to see if it works better for him17:13

apacheloggeraye17:26

ScottKrickspencer3: I hope the current discussion about providing an option in Gnome to make ctrl-alt-backspace work properly doesn't spill over into KDE.  For KDE and it's perspective on options, I think exposing it to the user is clearly the right choice.17:50
rickspencer3ScottK: Does Kubuntu have the same design ethic of minimizing user options to what is absolutely necessary, and also minimizing exposure to underlying infrastructure?17:51
ScottKrickspencer3: No.17:51
ScottKKDE is all about giving users choice to make the system work best for them.17:51
seelerickspencer3: out design ethic is functional design, not universal usability17:53
seelerickspencer3: we maximize for our identified target audiences and then try to make it accessible for those outside our target17:53
ScottKAs an added bonus, this was all discussed in depth at UDS and decided ...17:55
DaSkreechScottK: But is Kubuntu KDE? :-D17:55
Nightroseyes17:56
seeleKubuntu is a KDE distribution. We are not Ubuntu with KDE17:56
DaSkreechrickspencer3: That one question is almost the fundamental difference between users of Gnome and users of KDE17:56
DaSkreechI know I'm just teasing :) rickspencer3 asked about Kubuntu and ScottK responded with KDE :)17:57
ScottK+1 Nightrose.17:57
rgreeningheh17:58
DaSkreechWhy doesn't alt+ctrl+backspace work properly ?17:58
rickspencer3So if you guys think it is a worthwhile option for Kubuntu users, then I think you should consider including it17:58
rgreeningDaSkreech: it does. it was disabled upstream17:58
rickspencer3I however, feel that it is not useful to expose in a GUI17:58
seelewas this a discussion on a mailing list?17:59
rgreeningDaSkreech: install DonZap package to change the default option (or manually edit xorg.conf)17:59
DaSkreechBy upstream I guess you mean upstream Gnome and not upstream X ?17:59
seeleDaSkreech: X changed the default17:59
* DaSkreech hates X anyway17:59
seelein their conf, correct?17:59
rickspencer3At UDS the deciscion was taken to try to create a simple grid-like editor for xorg.conf. Unfortunately, it does not appear that the editor will be done in time for Jaunty. Perhaps in Jaunty universe though. The checkbox was a patch proposed to make up for this.18:00
seelerickspencer3: didn't alberto commit a patch for the kde config dialog?18:00
ScottKseele: Yes.18:00
rickspencer3DaSkreech: yes, this was disabled in upstream X, and yet there is an xorg.conf option to turn it back on18:01
rgreeningthe package from alberto works great18:01
ScottKrickspencer3: My recollection was we got promised a GUI way to reenable it.  The xorg.conf editor is way beyond that.18:01
DaSkreechHow do they propose to do an emergency restart of X ?18:01
rgreeningthe package DontZap with the patch to the displayconfig in system settings is fine18:01
rickspencer3seele: yes, he did one for Kubuntu and one for Ubuntu. However, their is some disagreement if this is appropriate for a GUI option in Ubuntu18:02
rgreening+1 from me for the Kubuntu solution and where it is currently implemented18:02
ScottKYes18:02
seelerickspencer3: right, so what does that have to do with *K*ubuntu18:02
DaSkreechAnyone have a link to the X discussion/announcement about this?18:02
rgreening:)18:02
ScottKseele: It doesn't and that was my point.18:02
Riddellnobody has actually suggested anything different about Kubuntu as far as I see18:03
RiddellScottK was just pre-empting it18:03
ScottKyes, exactly.18:03
seeleok18:03
ScottKDo what you want with Gnome, I think given it's general approach the discussion has some merits.18:04
ScottKFor KDE, I think we clearly want the option.18:04
* seele just had an hour and half of stats, brain is only now reforming into a solid state18:04
Bernardohi18:05
rgreeningo/18:06
rickspencer3Riddell: yes, no one has mentioned Kubuntu in the discussion so far18:06
Bernardoanyone else having problems with digikam (from the experimental ppa) and kde 4.2?18:07
ScottKrickspencer3: Just wanted to make sure you had the sense from here if it goes that way.18:07
DaSkreechOK it's something they have had for a while they just flipped it to on by default18:08
DaSkreechI really don't understand what X.org is trying to accomplish18:08
DaSkreechwell I do I just don't get how they are doing it18:08
NightroseDaSkreech: prevent people from unwillingly killing their X?18:08
Nightrosehappened to me in early linux days18:08
Nightrosevery uncool18:08
Nightrosebut i am generally for an option for kubuntu18:09
Bernardolet me guess, you're talking about the dontzap change?18:09
Nightroseyes18:09
BernardoI'd rather have ctrl-alt-backspace enabled by default18:09
DaSkreechNightrose: yeah but they are going for configles X and bulletproof X and oing all of these changes in themain trunk while X gets flakier than ever18:10
NightroseDaSkreech: i am not for enableing it or disabeling it by default - don't care really as long as there is an option18:10
Nightrosei want it enabled for me now18:11
Nightrosebut i know newbies might not like it18:11
DaSkreechhonestly I'd prefer a kill switch like Ctrl+M18:12
DaSkreechThe first time that you do it it interrupts the action and pops up a dialog telling you that you did this what it will do would you like to continue18:12
ScottKBernardo: A lot of people argued for it to be default.  We lost at UDS, so at least it will be easy to turn on.18:13
* Bernardo has a one year old that already walks. A way to disable shutdown when the power button is pressed would be much more important than disabling ctrl-alt-backspace18:13
Nightrosehehe18:13
DaSkreechThat way it informs, it doesn't stop the "normal" flow and expectatons and once it's done you can choose never to see it again18:13
BernardoScottK: in the ubuntu forums, the vote is very much in favor of keeping it enabled. I even joked it could be disabled for ubuntu and enabled for kubuntu...18:14
ScottKDaSkreech: That was also discussed.  I think the conlusion was it added more complexity than the benefit was worth (technical complexit)18:14
ScottKBernardo: I very much agree, it's just already been decided and we don't have the resources to re-decide everything multiple times.18:15
DaSkreechScottK: Well X is on a push to have all configs and so on be graphical (bad idea) so maybe they could be asked to look at it?18:16
ScottKDisabling it was a concious decision on their part.18:16
BernardoI do hope they never disable xorg.conf overriding whatever auto detection is made18:18
Bernardoit is the only way I can get X to display by hdmi on my tv instead of trying to use the vga output that is not connected18:18
DaSkreechBernardo: I think the mindest is that X should be able to start without a xorg.conf existing at all but whenever one exists then it will respect it18:21
DaSkreechI still think it's a bad idea to have the main configuration to get X working within a working X but maybe they will make it bulletproof one day18:22
Bernardolets hope so. One of the reasons I prefer KDE over the nameless other is configurability. :)18:23
DaSkreechBernardo: OSX ?18:30
a|wenScottK: your xserver-xorg doesn't seem to break ati in general18:30
ScottKa|wen: Thanks.  Notice any difference?18:31
* a|wen just found out that he can't even enable plasma18:31
smarterScottK: what's your xorg for?18:31
ScottKsmarter: Drop the Fedora optimization for compiz that causes all the momentary video garbage.18:32
a|wenhad to move my installation to an old laptop just before leaving home18:32
smarterScottK: ah that'd be cool18:32
smarterpeople yell at Kubuntu saying we break KDE and stuff18:32
smarterwhen most of the time it's crappy X patches :P18:33
ScottKsmarter: It's in my PPA (~kitterman) if you want to try it.18:33
smarterScottK: will probably do, not much free time right now(exams exams exams exams...)18:33
ScottKWho is around that actually understands the myriad of PPAs we have and what they are for....18:33
ScottKI'm trying to determine which one(s) to push the xorg fix to.18:34
RiddellScottK: kubuntu-experimental for KDE 4.218:35
* smarter has been asking for a wiki page explaining what they're supposed to do for a long time :P18:36
smarterScottK: I guess kubuntu-experimental would be a good choice, unfortunately we advertised it as the repo to use for 4.2, so maybe we need a kubuntu-experimental-experimental18:36
smarter:P18:36
a|wenScottK: kubuntu-experimental should be okay, as long at it is reasonably safe18:37
smarterRiddell: but then people who just want 4.2 will have it, and it may provoke breakages18:37
a|wensmarter: isn't kubuntu-members there for "misc tested/untested stuff"18:37
ScottKI think it's reasonably safe.  All I did was drop one patch.18:37
ScottKAnd it's one that upstream X won't merge.18:38
a|wenand it has been tested by a few ppl now also18:38
ScottKWith Intel, Nvidia, and ATI.18:38
smartera|wen: I honestly have no idea :P18:39
smarterI thought we didn't use it anymore, since people complained they received too much mail because of it18:39
smarteranyway, I don't understand why the LP people decided to change the PPAs urls, it's impossible that everybody will update his sources.list18:40

apachelogger+ you can build the stuff locally and upload the bins IIRC18:45
ScottKOne package I'm upstream for I had to ask the guy that was putting it on OBS to exclude the Debian/Ubuntu builds because the .debs it was spitting out were complete crap.18:45

_Simeis that that dbus problem again?19:48
Riddell_Sime: no, although I'm told there's a separate issue with dbus which I havn't looked at19:48
_Simewhy do you need threads?19:49
Riddellthat's how the system-config-printer application works19:50
Riddellit could probably be re-written not to, but would be easier not to have to19:51
_Simethreads in a config program?!19:52
Riddellrun while it goes off making up its database of printer drivers, which takes some time19:52
Riddellor searching for smb printers19:52
Riddellstuff like that19:52
_SimeI don't know what system-settings thinks about that. But if it works then good for you.19:54
_SimeI don't have much experience there.19:54
_Simeyou could also have a look at the multiprocessing module in Python 2.619:54
_Simeit uses processes.19:54
_Simeit might be safer.19:54
Riddellwell presumably system-settings doesn't think to highly of it, since it crashes :)19:55

astrommeAnd I'm guessing that's why I'm having the crash21:41
DaSkreechjaunty ?21:48
astrommeDaSkreech: Yes, jaunty21:50
DaSkreechok21:51
astrommeDaSkreech: just finished with an aptitude full-upgrade as well, so I should have the newest packages21:51
Nightroseok update seems to fix plasma crash \o/22:04
=== rdieter is now known as rdieter_away
NightroseJontheEchidna: the folder view is too big on the small eeepc22:04
Nightroseit pushes the notes widget out of the desktop22:05
JontheEchidnanotes needs to go bye-bye for jaunty22:09
* DaSkreech likes notes22:14
DaSkreechI just found out I can drag text to the desktop and they auto become notes22:14
DaSkreechThat's quite handy22:14
ryanakcajjesse: ping? Will you be available tomorrow to work on help.kubuntu.org?22:19
ScottKapachelogger: Is that blog post like you wanted when you said I should blog about the xserver Fedora/Compiz thing?22:23
seelerickspencer3: pong.. i made it home in decent time22:34
ScottKseele: It seems you never can tell what blog posts get lots of comments.  So far my last got one and I expect to get dumped on by the Compiz fanboys.22:36
seeleScottK: yeah really. the internet is a strange place :)22:37
ScottKseele: OTOH, reading Mackenzie Morgan's latest blog post it sounds  like she wants to be a KDE user.22:38
seeleScottK: i think she might be at the party on friday, you'll have to convert her22:39
DexterFScottK: didn't know kub had a seperate devel chan. last time I checked didn't, but that's some time ago22:42
ScottKAre you on Jaunty or Intrepid?22:42
DexterFwell ok, anyway. packages is there, packages.ub... says should be in there but I don't see it22:42
DexterFintrepid22:43
DaSkreechScottK: Links for both blogs ?22:43
ScottKhttp://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/since-we-all-know-x-is-nowhere-near.html is Mackenzie's22:43
DexterFaha! your search was in jaunty. I was starting to think I was too dumb to search... in intrepid there's no such file at all22:43
ScottKMine is http://www.kitterman.org/ScottK/2009/01/bug_254468_momentary_video_gar.html22:43
ScottKDexterF: Do you have 4.1 or 4.2 installed?22:44
DexterFScottK: whatever comes woth 8.1022:44
DexterF*with22:44
ScottKThat's 4.122:44
DexterFyup, checked22:44
DaSkreechapparently releases really confuse people new to linux22:44
DaSkreechhaving to explain that you can't get 4.2 on hardy takes a little getting through to some people22:45
DaSkreechthen explaining that Ibex doesn't come with 4.2 is another thing22:45
JontheEchidnalol22:45
JontheEchidnaThen people get mad at censorship of bad words when they learn that 4.2 isn't available for Hardy22:46
DexterFDaSkreech: been around linux for 10 years now but I expect to have stable releases to have a certain functionality the way they are, that includes changing the desktop elements colors. something even windows can do ;)22:46
DaSkreechIbex wasn't really considered a stable release :-)22:47
DexterFofficially?22:47
DexterFdo tell people then22:47
DaSkreechLTS +1 releases are normally more focused on trying out hairy stuff22:47
DexterFthat's what betas are for imo22:47
JontheEchidnaLTS != stable22:47
* ScottK needs to run off.22:47
DexterFScottK: been there?22:48
JontheEchidnaor rather, it just means security support for longer22:48
DaSkreechJontheEchidna: no but it focuses on being more stable in the design plans22:48
DaSkreechThe +1 design plans are usually something along the lines of "do what you want as long as the monkeys stay out of the Punch bowl"22:48
DexterFso ubuntu releases aren't meant to be stable at all or what.22:48
JontheEchidnawell, there's only so much control we have...22:48
JontheEchidnaIntrepid's fairly stable22:49
JontheEchidnaI never had more than a few crashes period after the final release22:49
DexterFso 9.04 is gonna be a "usable" one?22:49
DaSkreechDexterF: They are but a) there are things that maybe out of the control or canonical and b) sometimes you can err on the side of features or err on the side of stabilty22:49
jjesseryanakca: umm can it be next week?22:50
DaSkreechThe final releases are generally usable22:50
ScottKI use KDE 4.1 every day and it's generally fine.22:51
DexterFDaSkreech: it's open src... there shouldn't be much out of control here. see debian.22:51
DaSkreechDexterF: Debian errs very much on the side of stabilty22:51
DaSkreechand has quite a different release schedule22:51
ScottKDexterF: We had to pick between a somewhat underfeatured 4.1 and an ancient 3.5.  We picked 4.1.22:51
ScottKIf you want 3.5 --> Lenny is that way.22:52
DaSkreechYou can see Ubuntu as two cycles a 2 year LTS cycle and a 6 month feature race cycle22:52
DexterFScottK: well, it's only a testing VM becuase I suspect the goons I support in private to move to kde4 sooner or later and I have to catch up. I seriously consider going to lenny, that "ancient" 3.5 does quite a job here22:52
ScottKWell I have a 3.5 desktop too, so I understand.22:53
DexterFdon't know about how hairy it is beneath the hood but to call 4.1 "underfeatured" is an understatement22:53
DaSkreechDexterF: No harm no foul :) but KDE 4.3 should be pretty compelling22:53
DexterFI consider it beta22:53
ScottKOTOH, 4.2 is pretty good I hear and we have unofficial packages for that.22:53
DaSkreechKDE 4.2 is sating22:53
ScottKDexterF: We could have leaned forward or back.  We chose forward.  Neither would have been an entirely happy situation.22:54
DexterFScottK: you could have gone for both: a kde3 and a kde4 edition22:55
DexterFtwice the effort, given22:55
DaSkreechNo resources for that22:55
ScottKDexterF: Nope.  Not enough people.22:55
ScottKBoth would have ended up totally half assed.22:55
DaSkreechIf someone wants to come and do KDE3 then that would be the situation22:55
ScottKWe've had more than one person show up and say "I'll do KDE on Intrepid, it's not a big deal", but none have actually produced production quality packages yet.22:56
* ScottK really needs to go now.22:56
DaSkreechBye22:57
DexterFgotta admit I never made packages in the scale of a desktop like kde22:57
DexterFbye22:57
DaSkreechAnd generally people blur the line between third first and 1.5 party packages22:57
DexterFI.. don't get that sentence.22:59
DaSkreechKDE provides a set of packages which are both frameworks and applications23:01
DaSkreechThose are first party23:01
DaSkreechThey have an SVN in which lives a fair number of applications which are not maintained or released by KDE Krew23:02
DaSkreechI call those 1.5 party not quite first but closer to a second party23:02
DaSkreechThen you have applications that just build on the 1st party frameworks which are done independently by anyone who wants to do that23:02
DaSkreechThose are third party23:02
DaSkreechFor almost all users they just see them all as KDE23:03
DexterFindeed23:03
DaSkreechSo If you package all of KDE and you don't include say Krecipe or Kmymoney23:03
DaSkreechPeople get irate23:03
dtchenFWIW, the future really is 4.x, not 3.523:03
DaSkreechI don't think anyone other than SJVN is arguing that23:03
DexterFthe future. but how about the present.23:03
DaSkreechJust is KDE 4 ready for right now23:04
dtchenas a desktop distributor, you have to make the difficult choice of deciding if/when to break things23:04
DaSkreechRemember when they forked Gnome after 2.0 cause it was so bad people who were using Gnome 1.4 couldn't live with it23:04
DexterFthat's how I came to kde...23:04
DaSkreechNo one wants Gnome 1.4 now but at the time It was pretty rough23:05
DaSkreechKDE3 has lived long enough to get people over the hump I think KDE 4.2 is quite nice23:05
DaSkreechKDE 4.3 is going to be very compelling23:05
DexterFgnome 1.4 is technically outdated by far, but the design was a lot clearer and gnome2 was ridden with horrible design bugs, both technically and usability wise23:05
DaSkreechWell they have Gnome 3 so we shall see what they do23:06
DaSkreechhowever KDE 4.0 and 4.1 were certainly usable but by few23:06
DaSkreechI think KDE 4.2 should be in general usable if you have some computer sense23:06
DexterFand now I've been happy with kde3 for years and try 4.1  - and stumble over BS like not being able to change the taskbar color so I can read it easily.23:07
DexterFok, so ill give 4.2 a shot23:07
DexterFpackages ready somewhere?23:07
DaSkreechtopic in #kubuntu23:07
DexterFah23:07
DexterFok, I'll install and then come back bickering about that then ;)23:08
DaSkreechThemes are nice I'm using Silicon now but Serindad looks really colourful23:08
* DaSkreech switches for a day or so to see how he likes it23:08
DexterFwhile I'm here: anyone know if open vm tools work alright in 8.10? the vmware tools won't give me a Xserver, 7.4.2 is too new23:11
DaSkreechDexterF: ping me in #kubuntu if you have issues23:12
DexterFsure will23:13
ryanakcajjesse: sure, I'm back at school next week and my free time will shrink dramatically tough. Can you tell me if the content will follow the same structure as help.ubuntu.com? If so, I can adapt their theme... if not, I'll have to wait.23:20
jjesseryanakca: yes it should follow the same structure as help.ubuntu.com23:20
ryanakcajjesse: splendid23:20
ryanakcathanks :)23:20
jjesseryanakca:  no problem let me know if i can help, i'm more availabve via email23:25
ryanakcajjesse: *nod*23:25
ryanakcajjesse: I'm planning on finishing up the wiki theme in the morning, and then I'll be free to tackle help.k.o :)23:26
jjesseryanakca: cool, i'm excited for this to get done, we have to rely on nixternal for any build magic to get it over to you correctly23:28
DaSkreechThe hell? people want alt+ctrl+backspace gone and no way to turn it back on?23:39
DaSkreechJontheEchidna: Vote! Should google gadgets be installed by default?23:42
JontheEchidnaDaSkreech: can't!23:43
JontheEchidnait didn't passthe main inclusion process23:43
DaSkreechOh :-(23:43
JontheEchidnayeah :(23:46
DaSkreechWhat did it fail?23:47
DaSkreech did it study hard enough?23:47

DaSkreech0/23:48
DaSkreechI have a big head23:48
rgreeninglol. I noticed23:49
DaSkreechJontheEchidna: is it something that can't ever pass ?23:50
JontheEchidnanah, it could eventually I suppose23:50
DaSkreechcan it be put in -experimental ?23:51
RiddellHobbsee: could you bump up the priority of https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepimlibs/4:4.2.0-0ubuntu2/+build/851876 (amd64) a bit?  It's been pending the whole day and it's blocking much of the rest of KDE23:54
HobbseeRiddell: sure23:54
Riddellthanks23:54
rgreeningola Riddell.23:55
astrommeWould that start the builds to fix KMail and such in 4.2?23:55
Hobbseeoh, darn it launchpad...23:55
Hobbseeit now plans to start in 59 mins23:56
Riddellastromme: that's the next step23:57
astrommeRiddell: Wonderful. I feel hopeless without my KMail23:58
