nhandlerScottK: Are we just renaming them? Or are there more changes that need to be done?04:34
ScottKRenaming source and binary, adding appropriate conflicts/replaces, and adding transitional packages if they existed in Intrepid.04:37
nhandlerScottK: Is there a bug/wiki page to track this?04:38
ScottKnhandler: No.  We should probably have one (wiki I would say).04:38
nhandlerscottk: I'm about to head to bed, otherwise I would make one. As for the actual packages, I'll try and take care of spellcheck and playwolf (the two I packaged).04:40

ScottKrgreening: That's definitely more important04:55
rgreeningI'm trying to get the "simplified" Add/Remove programs view from Adept_manager/Adept into Kpackagekit. Struggling a bit... but that's mostly due to my C++ rustiness04:56

rgreeningScottK: know any c++?05:00
ScottKNope.  It's one of the beauties of KDE.  I can't actually fix stuff so I don't need to feel guilty.05:01
ScottKIt's one reason I was so happy to see Guidance go away.  I do know Python, so I could fix that.05:01
rgreeninglol05:02
ScottKvorian: My policy for this is no transitional package if it wasn't in intrepid.  Users of development releases are supposed to keep up with this stuff.05:02
ScottKvorian: How say you?05:02
rgreeningI have two constructors, and I want one to call the other with an extra parameter05:02

Riddellmorning Kubuntu09:44
rickspencer3morning Mr. Riddell09:45
Tonio_morning everyone :)09:50
Tonio_Riddell: have you seen the kcometen4 screensaver ? it's a must have, really09:51
Tonio_Riddell: I can package it if you're interested09:51
Tonio_Riddell: I've seen amarok sometimes stoping at the end of a song and then unable to play anything...09:54
Tonio_you have to quit and restart09:54
Tonio_Riddell: I didn't have this problem before your last upload... don't know if there is a link or not since I can't trace what happens...09:55
Tonio_Riddell: I'm on contrib on friday... I think I'll try to work on a starting kubuntu qa process, as we discussed quickly at the UDS09:56
RiddellTonio_: never need kcometen409:59
Riddellhmm, that's not right09:59
RiddellTonio_: never seen kcometen409:59
RiddellTonio_: also I've not seen amarok stopping at the end of a song, do you have the collection working?10:00
Tonio_Riddell: I'll put a little package on my ppa :) that's just fancy btw, but it's really very beautifull :)10:00
Tonio_Riddell: yeah that's inside my collection btw10:00
Tonio_Riddell: it happens quite often.... sometimes it won't even quit and I have to kill the process...10:01
Tonio_Riddell: if you want to test this little screensaver, you can install it from my ppa :)10:56
Tonio_Riddell: I'm in love with it10:56

* Nightrose waves @ Riddell and Tonio_11:45
Tonio_hey Nightrose :)11:45
Nightrosehow are you Tonio_?11:45
Tonio_still a bit sick.... but feeling a bit better :)11:46
Tonio_Nightrose: at fosdem arrived with a 39° fever....11:46
Nightrosemeh11:46
Tonio_Nightrose: Riddell took a photo from me sleeping in the middle of a conference :)11:47
Tonio_that was unfair hehe11:47
Nightrosehehe yea seen it11:47
Nightrosefregl and I walked around brussles yesterday before driving back home - that was fun11:47
Nightrosethe drive back home not so much11:47
Sputtrain++11:47
Tonio_:)11:48
Nightrosepolice stopped us for a control, it was snowing and raining all the time and there were many traffic jams because of accidents on the highway11:49
Sputtrain++11:49
Sput:)11:49
* Nightrose still wonders why were were stopped by police though11:49
SputI bet it took you more than the 4 hours it took me to get from brussels to KA :)11:49
* Nightrose stabs Sput11:49
SputI also bet you didn't have a restaurant with warm foods and cold beers in walking distance for the whole trip :11:50
Sput:P11:50
Nightrosepffft11:50
Nightrosei had a nice travel companion though :P11:50
Nightroseand only one of them!11:50
Sputwell, you could've concentrated much better on each other if one of you didn't have to drive!11:50
Nightrose*lol*11:51
SputI love traveling between Frankfurt and Cologne with 300 km/h alongside a highway that's clogged with cars :)11:51
Tonio_Sput: since you're there, I've had a lot of question about quassel at work :)11:54
Sputwell, best to ask them in #quassel :)11:55
Tonio_Sput: everyone's impressed, but lots of people noticed an issue with non-existent shortcuts for common tasks (aka ctrl+w -> close buffer...)11:55
Sputhmm, shortcuts need tons of work11:55
Tonio_Sput: yeah sure, but I don't wanna ping if that's a known issue and being in the work :) if needed to ping, I'll do, of course :)11:55
ScottKvorian: I looked at plasmoid-flickr and I'm a bit confused where you got the update as the upstream page listed in debian/control has version 0.1, but you updated it to 0.3.1?11:56
SputTonio_: we'll get to improving shortcuts, not sure when though...11:59
* Sime waves at Nightrose11:59
Nightroseheya Sime :)11:59
Tonio_Sput: perfectly fine :)12:00
Tonio_Riddell: is there a reason we have no phonon-backend-vlc in the archives ?12:14
Tonio_Riddell: could be usefull for legal reasons in some countries (including france...)12:14
RiddellTonio_: no, although it can't be part of the phonon source package since vlc is in multiverse12:26
Tonio_Riddell: yeah, but external packaging, even in multiverse, could be usefull12:27
Riddellgo ahead12:27
Tonio_Riddell: testing :)12:27
Tonio_Riddell: for MS formats support, vlc is the only legal option here for example :)12:27
Tonio_Riddell: and I guess everywhere, btw, since w32codecs is hardly deployable in corp environment :)12:28
Sputor on a amd64 box12:28
Riddellvlc isn't a subscritute for w32codecs, w32codecs is only for stuff where there's no free implementation, if there's a free implementation then it can also be used by xine or mplayer12:29
smarterand there's w64codecs too :p12:35
nhandlerFor the plasmoid renaming, after modifying the package and uploading, do I have to file a removal request for the old version of the plasmoid?12:36
nhandlerscottk: ping12:46
=== nhandler changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Plasmoid/Plasma-widget rename - http://paste.ubuntu.com/116441/ | ISO testing needed for 8.04.2 http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/kubuntu/all | e-mail Riddell for STICKERS | Feature Freeze Feb 19 - How are we doing? -> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Todo
nhandlerscottk: Is it necessary to file removal requests for the old versions of the plasmoids?12:57
Tonio_Riddell: looks like the current git is unlikelly to build... I'll try to ping the vlc maintainer...13:03
ScottKnhandler: Yes, but let's get them all done and then make one request.13:07
Quintasa1nhandler: where I should submit renamed package?13:08
Tonio_Riddell: about vlc vs xine, I agree with you, xine could read it, but the fact is that there are proprietary formats that only vlc can handle the opensource way...13:29
Tonio_Riddell: cause xine supports w32codecs and then nobody cares an opensource implementation for those13:30
Tonio_Riddell: I'm not happy with that, but this is real life in corp env :)13:30
Tonio_Riddell: I have to do with what exists, and I'm stick with VLC atm13:30
Tonio_s/stick/stuck/13:30
Tonio_at least vlc is now QT, better than nothing :)13:33
Tonio_Riddell: a simple example is wma support, how do you do with xine and without w32codecs -> no way...13:33
Tonio_vlc handles them13:34
ghostcubeTonio_: but vlc isnt very stable13:37
ghostcubeits still buggy as hell13:37
ghostcubexine works much better13:38
Tonio_ghostcube: yep, but for example, when the french parliament wants linux, and wma support, what would you do ? ;)13:39
Tonio_ghostcube: and vlc isn't that unstable, we're using it for 2 years and had maybe 5 or 6 bug reports for it13:40
Tonio_ghostcube: I wouldn't say you about thunderbird, for example :)13:40
ghostcubelol ok 1:0 for u13:40
rgreeningseele, Riddell: I am close to getting a working Add/Remove (simplified) for KpackageKit... very close...13:40
jjesse__yay13:41
ghostcubeTonio_: but it has probs with peg files13:41
ghostcubempeg13:41
Tonio_ghostcube: I'll always use xine on my own, but phonon + vlc is, at the moment, a great opportunity for corp environement, before people switch to open formats13:41
ghostcubeTonio_: ok thats true :)13:41
Tonio_ghostcube: switching formats is a lot longuer and harder job than switching the OS :)13:41
ghostcubehehe13:42
ghostcubeif your pc is fast enough :D13:42
Riddellrgreening: we don't believe you until you supply screenshots :)13:42
Tonio_and that because for a parliamenter, if linux can't handle a specific format, that's a bug13:42
ghostcubeTonio_: sure like politicans always do blaming things they dont really get :D13:42
Tonio_on the long term, they finally understand the real cause, and tend to understand, which is really good on the politics side, but that's a long, long story13:42
Tonio_ghostcube: not only politicians, *normal* users :)13:43
ghostcubeoh ok :)13:43
Tonio_ghostcube: users just consider opening a file should work by a click13:43
rgreeningRiddell: lol13:43
Tonio_ghostcube: and they're not wrong imho13:43
ghostcubeTonio_: no thats true that vlc can handle it natively13:44
ghostcubebut they still need to get the nightly build server back up and running13:44
ghostcube:D13:44
Tonio_ghostcube: but vlc UI is bad, so for example phonon-backend-vlc + amarok + kaffeine/dragonplayer13:44
Tonio_ghostcube: that would make a legal desktop, a lot more consistent and well integrated13:44
ghostcubeTonio_: one thing thats better on vlc is the mozilla plugin cause it works with midori too13:44
ghostcubeTonio_: the prob for vlc is the advanced GUI13:45
ghostcubeu get lost in this one if you dont know what to do13:45
Tonio_ghostcube: and for this web problem, you then have phonon-backend-vlc + konqueror/webkit + kmplayer13:45
Tonio_and you're done13:45
Tonio_ghostcube: now you see my point :)13:45
Tonio_and still consistent web browsing with a good plugin and a legal engine13:45
ghostcubehmm yep ok makes sense13:45
ghostcube:f13:45
ghostcube:D13:45
Tonio_but for that we need the backend in the repos, hehehe :)13:46
raphinkhi guys13:46
ghostcubeTonio_: isnt the vlc backend there i thought its available by apt-cache search oO13:46
Tonio_ghostcube: there isn't that many linux desktop in corp environments, and very few people know the real problems in there13:46
Tonio_ghostcube: was droped with 4.1 or 4.213:46
ghostcubeoh13:46
Tonio_seele: talking about that, I reallize we discussed a potential conf for the next akademy.... would you still be interested in this ?13:47
Tonio_seele: the present discussion is exactly what I could be talking about :)13:47
rgreeningRiddell: here http://imagebin.ca/view/R25FVK.html and here http://imagebin.ca/view/JqVavc.html13:47
=== jjesse__ is now known as jjesse
rgreeningRiddell: the empty box on the left in second shot needs to be populated (working that now).13:48
rgreeningRiddell: also, wording for Software Management needs to be changed/updated to show two different purposes (Package vs Application)13:49
rgreeningseele: ^^13:49
rgreeningbelieve me now Riddell :) muhahahah13:49
=== k4v is now known as m4v
seeleRiddell: not use enough water/yogurt/ice in your smoothie?14:09
Riddellrgreening: yay14:10
Riddellseele: none at all actually14:10
rgreening:P14:10
seeleRiddell: that's probably why it was baby food :P14:10
Tonio_hum... I'm sick of those X crashes...14:10
jjessemy wife has just started making our own baby food for my son.... most of it looks disgusting14:11
seelergreening: what about Applications and Packages -- Management? or will that be too long?14:11
seeleTonio_: i dont know what you are talking about. what conf?14:11
vorianScottK: it seems there are two flickr plasmoids :/14:12
rgreeningdunno seele14:12
vorianScottK: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Flickr+On+Plasma?content=9480014:12
Tonio_seele: when we discussed those corp things and problem, you told me it would be very nice giving a talk about that at next akademy :)14:12
Tonio_seele: sorry I used the bad word s/conference/talk :)14:13
Tonio_seele: don't you remember ?14:13
seeleoh yes, i do, but i meant for you to give that talk :)14:13
Tonio_seele: I know :) the thing is that I had lots of work recently and couldn't spend time thinking about that :)14:14
seeleTonio_: btw.. i hear the weather sucks in paris. i'm surprised you have power now14:14
Tonio_seele: I'm sirprised too :)14:14
seeleTonio_: well the call for papers hasn't been released yet so you have plenty of time to think about it :)14:14
Tonio_seele: great, I'll consider this then, cause the discussion we just had with ghostcube makes me think those issues are sometimes not understood :)14:15
ghostcubeTonio_: yeah if u live in germany like me its normal to first of all install th w64codecs14:16
ghostcube:D14:16
ghostcubethen start the rest14:16
Tonio_is that legal ? :)14:16
ghostcubeso i dont really have noticed its not always the best to do so14:16
ghostcubeTonio_: yep14:16
Tonio_how can it be ? the microsoft licence explicitely forbids that... was this point judged in a court ?14:17
ghostcubethe only one thats discussed is libdvdcss14:17
ghostcubeits not forbidden to use the codecs here14:17
Sputwhich microsoft license? :P14:17
ghostcubenever seen any process talking about14:17
Sputthe one I never agreed to?14:17
ghostcubelol14:17
Tonio_Sput: yeah, that one :)14:17
* Sput notes that EULAs are illegal and void in the EU14:18
* jussi01 huggles Sput14:18
Sputexcept if explicitly agreed on pre-deal14:18
Tonio_ghostcube: I can't imagin using the wma.dll for example is legal anywhere outside of the windows context...14:18
Riddellthere's no copying licence14:18
ghostcubehmm no idea but its not illegal here to use it14:18
Sputlicenses for use are void anyway14:18
Sputthey can only cover copyright14:19
Riddellw32codecs don't have copying licence14:19
davmor2Riddell, ScottK: all the hardy.2 tests should be finished soon14:19
ghostcubeall german linux users first install the w32codecs without you wont be able to watch any web tv here all wmv :D14:19
ScottKvorian: So I guess the package needs to be updated to reflect that one.14:19
SputRiddell: well, they are published by mplayer, so not a downstream problem, is it?14:20
Tonio_Riddell: the package, but the files in it, at least the MS ones, are covered by the MS one14:20
vorianScottK: yeah, i'm working on it now since i'm the one that changed it14:20
Tonio_Riddell: we have an advocate at work that looked at that very deeply14:20
davmor2Sput: I think you'll find that Microsoft would still take you to court if they found you to be in breech of their EULA14:20
Tonio_Riddell: you can use and copy them if :14:20
Tonio_you have paid a Windows licence14:20
Sputdavmor2: not the first time they'd lose that one... shrinkwrapped licenses are not valid in the EU14:20
Tonio_AND you are not using 2 copies of the same file14:20
Tonio_so bying windows, not installing it, and use w32codecs, yes that's legal14:21
Sputas soon as you have bought something, there is no way for the seller to impose additional restrictions on the deal14:21
Tonio_as long as you have a windows licence per computer running w32codecs.14:21
ScottKdavmor2: Great.  I really appreciate all the help.14:21
ScottKvorian: OK.14:22
Tonio_Riddell: same with ie4linux for example.... that's illegal except if you have a windows licence.... that sucks, I know :)14:22
RiddellSput: if the files don't have a copying licence of course its a downstream problem14:22
ghostcubedavmor2: microsoft cant do anything inside EU they arent allowed to take you to court14:23

shtylmanwill guidance-power-manager still be in jaunty? and if so, with whom do I speak about a proposed change I have to the battery display? Thanks in advance14:37
ghostcubeRiddell: i know was just joking a bit14:37
ghostcube:)14:37
Tonio_shtylman: jaunty will use powerdevil by default14:47
JontheEchidnashtylman: guidance will still be available for install, but it won't be installed by default14:47
Tonio_shtylman: afaik guidance-power-manager is still in universe, but due to the change, I'll probably stay poorly maintained in the future...14:47
shtylmanTonio_: will powerdevel also be the frontend? or just the backend? I am reading on kde-apps that it will feature a plasmoid "soon", where can I find more information?14:48
Tonio_shtylman: the plasmoid is already in 4.2 and works like a charm :)14:49
shtylmanTonio_: I have 4.2 installed, what would the plasmoid be called? cause I have 4.2 installed over ibex and guidance still keeps popping up14:50
Tonio_battery monitor14:51
shtylmanTonio_: I hacked at guidance to change the battery display from the default (3 discrete bars) to a continuous display, and want to see if the new plasmoid can do the same14:51
Tonio_shtylman: the plasmoid does it ;)14:52
shtylmanTonio_: excellent news!14:52
Tonio_:)14:52
shtylmanTonio_: so I popped open my laptop to try the battery monitor instead, and it too seems to break the battery full indication into sections versus being continuous (is this in a new version that isn't out yet)?15:03
davmor2Riddell, ScottK: test done :)15:04
Tonio_shtylman: it has 4 bars, but the gradiant of the bar is proportional to the battery level15:05
shtylmanTonio_: I see, thats not very obvious to me, and I could easily see others missing it. Is that plasmoid writting in python like guidance was? or something else? and where could I grab the source for it (kde repos?), I would like to make it be a continuous battery display. Thanks15:07
Sputpowerdevil++15:09
Sputalso powerdevil can display a percentage15:09
Sputon hover or always15:10
shtylmanSput: yea I know about that, but I would like to make it have a continuous battery display as well..good for small icons where the percent text isn't as easy to see15:10
shtylmanThe battery percentage is inherently contnuous, at least integer step, and I don't see a benefit to breaking it up into thirds or fourths, that just hides the true information (imho)15:11
Tonio_shtylman: it's C++15:12
shtylmanTonio_: cool, I know that too (even better than python) :)15:12
Tonio_shtylman: see with upstream first if he is interested in the change :)15:14
shtylmanTonio_: how would I go about doing that? is there a particular person I want to talk to? Also, I am going to make the change for myself first (just to have), and can send along a patch to whomever as an example, would that be a better thing to do?15:15
Tonio_shtylman: the applet developer, probably :)15:17
Tonio_apt-get source powerdevil and look in the sources what is the maintainer e-mail address15:17
shtylmanTonio_: thanks a bunch...will do15:18

Tonio_shtylman: you're welcome15:18
smarterJontheEchidna: what's that plasmoid rename thingy?15:19
Tonio_Riddell: thinking about the topic, should we rename all plasmoid* packages to plasma-widget* ? thinking about pnm for that :)15:19
RiddellTonio_: yes that's what the topic says15:21
Tonio_Riddell: hum, since some of them were only existing in jaunty, should we provide the old name or not ?15:22
Tonio_Riddell: not needed for intrepid -> jaunty, but for our users,could be usefull I think, no ?15:22
Tonio_Riddell: or do we want a standard conflicts/replace ?15:24
Riddellshrug15:27
RiddellI probably wouldn't bother15:27
Tonio_Riddell: okay, that was my first plan, but I wanted to be sure about you on that point :)15:30
Tonio_Riddell: I'll ping you when plasma-widget-network-manager wil be in NEW15:31
scarabeushi, do you ship any patches for kopete that add some functionality?15:31
scarabeuswe in gentoo have this bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25842815:32
ubottubugs.gentoo.org bug 258428 in KDE "kde-base/kopete-4.2.0 missing menu items" [Normal,New]15:32
scarabeusand i dunno if we forget something15:32
scarabeusor it is that you add something special15:32
Tonio_Riddell: hum, we probably don't want our users to complain there is a conflict with the old one so I'll keep a conflict for couple of weeks in the package, waiting for people to install it15:36
Tonio_Riddell: the jaunty users I mean...15:39
JontheEchidnascarabeus: I think we ship a pretty much untouched kopete, no patches aside from a string change in the "now listening" preferences15:41
scarabeusJontheEchidna: mhm, thanks, that means there is some magic elsewhere :]15:42
a|wenscarabeus: in the help menu item there is some items pointing to launchpad, that you probably don't have ... but apart from that no15:42
a|wenscarabeus: he seems to be talking about the shortcut configuration, and that is an upstream item15:43
scarabeushm, we ship it unchanged  i will ask for screenie and see what he means exactly then15:44
scarabeusthanks very much for points15:44

rgreeningmy C++ is slowly coming back to me :P15:55
shtylmanTonio_: fyi .. the plasmoid code is in the kdebase-workspace source package, not the powerdevil package. The battery plasmoid and powerdevil are a part of kde now so it seems.15:56

glatzorTonio_, hello, do you want to ship a later version of kpackagekit?16:54
agateau:)16:54
Tonio_glatzor: well, latest versions didn't compile yet....16:54
Tonio_glatzor: is that better with the latest packagekit upload ?16:54
Tonio_glatzor: rgreening is writting patches atm, so we'll probably wait for the patches to be finished, since we'll have to port them, I guess :)16:55
glatzorTonio_, kpackagekit actually follows the 0.4 branch of PackageKit. but we should stay with 0.3.x16:55
Tonio_yeah, so we'll probably stay with that one...16:56
Tonio_glatzor: I'll wait for rgreening patches to be over and then will push the package and update bzr16:56
glatzorTonio_, there have been some invasive changes quite late in the 0.3.x release series, since fedora has got a different release cycle16:56
rgreeningTonio_, glatzor: I should have my stuff done today/tomorrow if all goes well.16:57
Tonio_glatzor: well kpackagekit just seems to work decently with our current 0.3 version... any problem you noticed/are affraid of ?16:57
glatzorTonio_, I wrote to Trever about this and I think we could backport the changes in libpackagekit-qt16:58
Tonio_glatzor: I'm fine with this as long as this doesn't break kpackagekit :)16:58
Tonio_glatzor: but a test is always fine16:58
Tonio_glatzor: what are the changes exactly ?16:59
Tonio_glatzor: my only concern is that since kpackagekit is now our default manager... and the svn doesn't follow 0.3.x.... well we have to take care at not breaking everything :)17:01
glatzorTonio_, It was just an offer that we could backport changes of packagekit-qt from the 0.4 so that you could update kpackagekit to the current svn version17:02
glatzorTonio_, I won't introduce any patches by myself :)17:02
Tonio_glatzor: ah :) I thought you were talking about recent changes in the .3 series...17:03
glatzorperhaps I was a little bit unclear about this17:03

glatzorTonio_, If you don't need any changes in the latest kpackagekit svn we can just keep things as they are17:04
Tonio_Riddell: keep as it is since it works and seems stable, or try to backport libpackagekit-qt, and use a recent svn snapshot ?17:04
Tonio_glatzor: well what we need right now is not on svn, it's mostly UI cleaning and usability stuff, that we'll try to get commited later :)17:05
Tonio_glatzor: but thanks for keeping in touch and taking care about us :)17:05
Tonio_glatzor: we have quite a few svn snaps and experimental things in kubuntu jaunty right now :)17:05
