JontheEchidnaI have no clue what's wrong01:36
voriancould be an error with CMakeLists01:38

jjesse-dell9seele:  so what brings you to irc at 11pm on a friday night?04:16
jjesse-dell9ah kde release party04:21
ScottKseele: I forgot to mention that rickspencer3 was here looking for you after you'd left for the party.04:52
ScottKDunno how closely you read scrollback, but he wanted to share something he's started working on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Usability/DataCrossWalkMethod04:52
rgreeningo/ ScottK04:57
ScottKrgreening: o/04:58
rgreeningpyQt builds04:58
ScottKBuild Eric and have it work.  Then I'll think you have something.04:59
rgreeningI still have threading issues. Not sure if it's KDE, Qt or pthread04:59
rgreeningI wonder if it requires a rebuild of KDE against Qt4.5. Theoretically it shouldn't... but Im no expert there.05:00
rgreeningScottK: Is there an easy way to get the kde builds into my PPA to force a rebuild using Qt4.5 in my PPA? or can that be done?05:01
ScottKYou have to reupload.05:01
ScottKSo upload Qt 4.5 and then upload KDE again after.05:01
rgreeningso to upload kde I need the changes file. does that mean I have to regenerate a new diff/dsc via debuild05:02
ScottKYes because you need a higher revision number.05:03
rgreeningk. thats what I thought.05:03
ScottKRiddell: Quassel is seeded and kubuntu-meta updated so it's on the CD...05:04
rgreeningdo you think it may be he issue? kreadconfig segfaults as does kstartupconfig4. They both terminate at the same spot.05:04
rgreeningQThreadStorageData::get with a null pointer causing the crash05:04
ScottKhttp://ploum.frimouvy.org/?202-the-signals-and-threads-flying-circus is a long way of saying dunno.05:06
rgreeningheh05:06
ScottKRiddell: quassel-client and quassel-core need to be demoted to Universe.05:07
rgreeningMonty Python is teh shiz05:07
rgreeningI think I'll try rebuilding KDE. nothing to lose05:08
rgreeningScottK: should I force a Qt4.5.0 min requirement in kdelibs then?05:09
ScottKrgreening: Just don't upload KDE until after Qt 4.5 binaries are publised and it shouldn't be needed.05:10
rgreeningok. qt 4.5.0 are published in my PPA05:10
ScottKWe need to do that for the archive because there's so much skew between the different archs.05:10
ScottKnixternal: Since I know you're just dieing with anticipation to do the release notes for next week's Alpha, the first two items are:05:26
ScottK1.  New on CD - Quassel, it's not just for Universe any more.05:26
Hobbsee\o/05:26
ScottK2. Kmail/Akonadi and Amarok are now co-installable.  You don't have to pick.05:26
rgreeningnixternal: we also need a howto for quassel. ScottK neantioned a blog with a mini howto that could be converted :)05:30
ScottKIt was claydoh what did it.05:30
rgreeningcause I need someone/thing to help me switch from Konveration to quassel05:31
rgreeningheh05:31
ScottKWell I'm working on updating the package right now, so if you run accross anything, let me know.05:32
Hobbseergreening++05:32
rgreeningScottK: was konversation droped yet from CD05:32
ScottKYeah.  Before Alpha 2.05:32
rgreeningok. and were we able to get a package of K3B yet from Tonio_?05:33
ScottKDunno.05:34
ScottKFor the transition stuff I've been concentrating on Quassel.05:35
ScottKBTW, the Mandriva packager for Quassel approached me on #quassel recently.  I guess they're considering it now too.05:35
rgreeningok, Tonio_ has k3b package to upload. It's a snapshot bu works. Last I heard he was working on cleaning up the package. We should be able to get it on the cd05:35
rgreeningScottK: thats cool.05:35
* ScottK gives apachelogger a good hard thump in the back of the head. 05:36
ScottKHopefully hard enough to produce a quasselcore man page that has actual useful information in it.05:36
rgreeningbwahaha05:36
ScottKHopefully that will serve as a bug report.05:36
rgreeninguploading all of kde for rebuild by hand is a pain05:38
rgreeningScottK: will I need more space allocated to my PPA to rebuild all of kde? If so, who do I ask?05:43
ScottK#launchpad I guess.  Dunno.05:43
ScottKOption 2 is make a new team with a PPA, have that depend on your PPA and shove the rest in there.05:44
ScottKrgreening: ^^05:44
rgreeningtrue dat. I'll wait and see if I run out of space05:44
apacheloggerScottK: the manpage is from back in the days when quasselcore aint had no useful stuff to talk about08:29
apachelogger+ I don't really care about manpages if they would duplicate --help anyway :P08:30
apacheloggerScottK: also about the kdeedu stuff ... while I agree with having desktop files in the same package as their binary, this is not the case for most of core KDE, so in favor of not messing around with everything at this point (which would have to be carried to debian as well) including tryexec as a patch and upstream for 4.2.1 seems like the more efficient solution, since marble is really the only desktop file that suffers from a08:32
apachelogger->binary chain08:32
apacheloggerany junior packagers around?08:36
apacheloggerArby: o/08:48
Arbyapachelogger: morning :)08:48
apacheloggerArby: you probably want to do some easy packaging, don't you? ;-)08:49
ArbyI might do, although reserve the right to change the definition of easy :)08:49
apacheloggerkde-l10n-{tg,bn_IN,mr,mai,kn} need initial package08:49
apacheloggerit's really just taking some other l10n package, copying the debian dir and ensure all references to the language are changed08:50
Arbyok I can take a look later on today08:50
apacheloggerok, thx08:50

apacheloggerRiddell: shouldn't the lang pack installation include downloading kde-l10n-$lang?09:11
apacheloggerRiddell: otherwise one will not have localized data content I think09:11

komutajaunty itself is still alpha isn't it ?10:57
Hobbseekomuta: oh yes10:57
ArbyHobbsee: not much in it10:57

ArbyI'm still on intrepid but not for kde reasons10:58
HobbseeArby: stuff's going into jaunty first, then getting backported in that ppa, or?10:58

komutaVersion: 7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa111:36

komutanow, the problem is, apt tries downloading a package from a repository, and matches its size to another repository11:36
Arbysounds like the Packages.gz on kubuntu-members-kde4 might be out of date11:38

Arbywhat files do you need me to put where?14:39

ryanakcaapachelogger: I believe so.15:44
ryanakcaapachelogger: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/jaunty-changes/2008-December/001450.html15:44
* astromme uses quassel15:55
apacheloggerArby: do you have access to a webserver ... easiest would be to upload dsc, diff, and tar of all the packages16:15
apacheloggerohhhh16:16
apacheloggerI forgot16:16
apacheloggerArby: you need to run... make -f debian/rules get-desktop ...before creating the package16:16
apacheloggerotherwise it doesn't contain the desktop files :)16:16
* Arby opens up konsole again16:17
apacheloggerArby: about those questions: changelog doesn't matter really, but it probably makes sense to delete all entries and make this one the initial one, I didn't do that though ... 1) no, we don't depend on >= 6, not for the l10ns anyway ... 2) if you want, I didn't do it for the last 2 packages  .... in general I would say, the less you change the better it is, since it makes batch editing (which is really the only kind of editing t16:19
apachelogger done to kde-l10n) more reliable16:19
Arbyapachelogger: I made a new changelog for all of them16:20

ScottKapachelogger: About the man pages I generally agree, but for quasselcore, I think it's useful to have a man page with some actual content.17:17
* ScottK is fixing ...17:18
apacheloggerScottK: depends on the content really ;-)17:18
ScottKTrue.  In my case I wanted the core usage info and it wasn't there.  That's what i'm adding.17:18

smarterbah, Konqueror is saying to me that Ctrl+F shortcut is "ambiguous"17:27
* smarter considers switching to Arora as soon as Qt 4.5 is usable17:28
Sputyeah that's an old and very annoying konqueror bug :(17:29
smarterother bugs I'm seeing in Konqueror: sometimes, for no reason, up/down/space/page up/page down/ keys stop working, and I must use the mouse, midly annoying17:30
smarterbut everytime I enter a URL, Konqueror freezes for several seconds, VERY annoying17:30
apacheloggersmarter: I would suppose once 4.5 is in we would switch to kdewebkit17:31
apacheloggerdepending on it's quality of course17:31
smarterarora on the other hand, is blazingly fast to load, even faster than Konqueror with preload enable17:31
smarter*enabled17:31
Tm_Tsmarter: I don't have that slowness, weird17:31
apacheloggersmarter: because it got less bloat :P17:31
smarterwhich reminds me that I should update kdewebkit package :P17:31
smarterwhich is starting to look creepy too17:32
apacheloggersmarter: and kepas17:32
Tm_Tapachelogger: kdewebkit is not good yet, but hopefully will soon17:32

apacheloggernow that naming is a bit weird I would say :P17:32

apachelogger"The only thing PCLinuxOS has going for it, is the plethora of non-Free Software applications they bundle, making the transition from Windows a breeze. Other than that, it’s just a run-of-the-mill-everyday-linux-distro. Nothing special. Certainly nothing on par with Ubuntu.

nixternalOK, so I have taken some time over the past month, give or take a day, and played with various Audio Players - Amarok, Banshee, Rythmbox, Exaile, and Songbird....the winner is definitely Amarok with either Exaile or Banshee in a DISTANT 2nd17:39
nixternalI have been using GNOME at work on my workstation because KDE 4 + NVIDIA == suckage...so I played with GNOME audio players...jeesh they aren't that great to be honest17:40
apacheloggerWMP ftw!17:41
a|wennixternal: any news in amarok being the best :)17:41
nixternalit simply amazes me how the amarok people can create such quality with smaller teams than the other players17:42
nixternalor the lack of corporate backing17:42
a|wenit is amazing, yes ... you really miss amarok, if you ever have to do without it17:43
nixternalthe amarok internet plugins are 43028408320843028403284302840328 times greater than the other player's plugins to boot...which is what I really enjoy17:43
nixternalI love Last.fm, and Amarok is the only player that works with it perfectly...the rest don't even come close17:43
apacheloggerthat however mostly originated through corporate backing (magnatune)17:43
nixternalwith banshee I had to quit out and restart it after it played like 5 Last.fm songs17:43
apacheloggerlast.fm is heavily using the last.fm client's code base, last I checked :P17:44
nixternalMagnatune is far from corporate backing compared to the likes of Novell17:44
apacheloggernixternal: novell doesn't put resources to efficient use from my POV17:44
nixternalapachelogger: depends on the project, but i tend to agree with you there17:45
apacheloggerwe don't either TBH ... having at least 4 people work on 20 packages for about a week is rather insane17:46

ghostcubehi man, just wanna say the garbage of xorg is gone :)18:10
ScottKSo you like my update then ..18:11
ghostcubeyep18:11
ScottKghostcube: Was Kmail one of the problems you were having?18:11
ghostcubenah iam on thinderbird cause i love the imap settings there more18:11
ghostcube:)18:12
ScottKOK.18:12
* ScottK can't remember who was kvetching about kmail. I need to get them to test the fix.18:12
ghostcubeheh18:12
ghostcubeah ScottK btw youre update is coooling my card again to 48 degrees as before18:13
ghostcubewith the kubuntu path it qwas permanent on 5018:14
ScottKIt wasn't a Kubuntu decision to put that in there.18:14
ghostcubeyeaj i know i meant ubuntu18:14
ghostcubelol18:14
ScottKK.  Just making sure.18:14
ghostcubesorry :)18:15
ghostcubenow iam waiting for 4.3 to get a deskop independent dashboard hehe18:16
ghostcube:D18:16
macoso is this channel also #kubuntu+1 then?18:16
ghostcube?18:16
ScottKI think there's a #kubuntu-kde4 or some such, but I don't know for sure.18:16
ghostcubenah its just kubuntu afaik now18:17
ghostcubenot splitted anymore18:17
macoer, wait so for kubuntu/jaunty questions do i ask here or in #kubuntu?18:20
ScottKmaco: If it's a "Hey, how do I do this, ask in #kubuntu".  If it's "Hey, I think something's broken" ask here.18:20
macoit's hey i think something's broken18:21
ScottKAnd if it's a Jaunty question that's not KDE specific, then #ubuntu+1.18:21
ScottKThen ask away.18:21
macoin kmail when i try to sign an email, it says bad passphrase, but it never actually asked for a passphrase to begin with18:22
ScottKDoes your gpg.conf have 'use-agent' in it?18:22
maconope18:23
ScottKNeeds that.18:23
macoits possible this is caused by having both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop, since i used seahorse to setup my keys before i started trying this kde thing18:23
ScottKI'll have to look at GPG and see if that patch got dropped accidentally.18:23
ScottKShouldn't.18:23
macowhat's the kde gpg app called?18:24
ScottKOTOH, if seahorse is manipulating gpg.conf, that's probably a bad thing.18:24
ScottKkgpg I think, but I don't use it.18:24
macocheck and see if ive got it installed. i didnt have knetworkmanager installed when i was confused yesterday :P18:24
macowell gpg.conf is blank save a comment that says # FILE CREATED BY SEAHORSE18:25
ScottKI'm just out the door, so I'll see about helping out when I get back if no one else can.18:25
macook18:25
ScottKmaco: That's a seahorse bug then.18:25
ScottKPlease file that.18:25
* ScottK runs out.18:25
JontheEchidnamaco: the KDE gpg app is called kgpg18:40
JontheEchidnain a brilliant stroke of originality :P18:41
a|wenJontheEchidna: isn't that still kde3 ... or have we got a new version?18:41
JontheEchidnait's been kde4 since I remember18:41
JontheEchidnait's part of kdeutils so it's not a universe package or anything18:42

* maco looks18:52
ScottKmaco: Just copy that one into your .gnupg dir18:52
ScottKAnd, of course, rename it gpg.conf18:52
macolots of commented things18:53
ScottKYou shouldn't have to change any of them.18:53
ScottKWe patch that file to set use-agent by default.18:53
* ScottK did just check that hasn't changed.18:54
macodo i have to log out and back in or something after that?18:54
ScottKgnupg-agent and some other stuff needs restarted, so that's probably the easiest way to do it.18:54
macoi installed kgpg and then put "use-agent" into gpg.conf and then tried a test message, but no good18:54

astrommeMmm, it is in his ppa20:49
Sputwell, I'd rather think KDE needs to fix stuff20:49
astrommeDo I take the plunge? lol.....20:49
Sputwell, I tried a week ago or so, and both kde and kwin crashed with git master of qt20:49
Sput*kdm20:50
ScottKastromme: Test results I've heard aren't yet great.  I'd not do it outside a VM.20:50
astrommeScottK: ok, thanks for the heads up20:50
Sputqt-copy will go 4.5 soon enough though20:50
Sputso I'd expect a working KDE roughly around Qt's rc release20:50
Sputoh, I'm talking kde trunk too, not 4.220:50
* ScottK thought he'd heard the 'working with 4.2' was a release condition for Qt 4.5.20:52
Sputmaybe, I didn't try :)20:52
SputKDE 4.2 never made it to my hdd20:52
Sputthere are people claiming that $SOME_VERSION of KDE works with $SOME_OTHER_VERSION with Qt 4.5 too20:52
ScottKMine neither (because it's still 4.1.4)20:52
Sputmine's already 4.2.61 :)20:53

Sputastromme: yeah I switched to 3.9x as my main desktop roughly a month before 4.0.0 was tagged :D20:55
Sputtalk about bleeding edge20:55
astrommeSput: no kidding. I then did svnbuild for the next 6 months until 4.1 was enough for me.20:56
SputKDE is still moving too fast for me to survive being stuck at a release :D20:57
Sputdon't even have a stable version installed as a fallback20:57
ghostcubebtw it would be cool to initiate the cube in kde4 effects by middlemouse20:58
ghostcubeand ctrl alt mouse1 like in compiz20:58
ghostcubecause this is better then ctrl f11 and then throw it a bit out of functionality20:58
ghostcubeand the edge actions arent acting well you need to push the edges very often till they act as a trigger20:59
ghostcube:D20:59

* smarter remember seeing in some xserver-xorg changelog, "patch bla from Fedora: not sure what it does" :P21:23
apacheloggerScottK: by lobbying I suggest21:23
apacheloggerwhich is why I think smarter should get a blog and write about the phoronix forum post ;-)21:23
ScottKPart of why I put it in the PPA is so that we have a clear basis of user experience that adding that patch is a regression.21:24
ScottKI already talked to jr about it too.21:24
apacheloggerwell, now that the patch was removed ... it would pose a regression anyhow21:26

velroijHi guys, what about having Quassel IRC as default irc program?22:49
ScottKvelroij: It is.22:50
velroijScottK I haven´t been using Jaunty because the hd crashed, and i still need to replace it, so I didnt know off it, I have a nighly build of Quassel now22:52
velroijI am wesley22:52
ScottKWe have recent git snapshots in Jaunty.22:52
ScottKI'm working on a new one now in fact.22:52
ScottKAs of yesterday Quassel is part of kubuntu-desktop.22:52
velroijOh nice, can there be some default settings? Like that i can connect with ubuntu irc ?22:53
ScottKYes.22:53
ScottKWhen you first install quassel you just need to right-click on the thing called "Kubuntu IRC" and click connect.22:53
velroijThats good, I had to do it myself, but copy everthing from Konversation22:54
ScottKThey will release 0.4 here in about two weeks and we'll get it into Jaunty.22:55
velroijThats cool, because Konversation won´t be there till maby 43?22:56
velroijWhat about kaffeine ?22:56
velroijhttp://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/multimedia/kaffeine/22:56
ScottKKaffeine porting to KDE4 is moving very slowly.22:57
ScottKWe're using Dragonplayer as our default again.22:58
velroijDragonplayer is really good, but missing some features, but performances better the VLC22:58
velroijAnd I like to see Juk as default audio player, Amarok is still a bit messy, and juk is just simple, pop a playlist, buttons and play your music23:00
ScottKAmarok is what we're going with for now.23:01
velroijOh okay, gues that would be fair indeed, still I like the jukbox juk a better player then Amarok23:03
