rickspencer3 | default alt-tab behavior on Kubuntu is very nice | 00:38 |
---|---|---|
yuriy | what is the default? with or without effects? | 00:41 |
smarter | yuriy: with effects if it detects that it works nicely | 00:44 |
smarter | detection that has been disabled by default on 4.3 because it causes the screen to flicker if I'm not mistaken | 00:45 |
JontheEchidna | I thought the SuSE randr module caused flicker. Maybe they both did ;P | 00:46 |
smarter | JontheEchidna: that randr thingy got ditched in 4.2 no? | 00:46 |
yuriy | i meant the default alt-tab behavior | 00:46 |
JontheEchidna | yeah, it did | 00:46 |
smarter | cause I still see flicker | 00:46 |
JontheEchidna | every 10 seconds? | 00:46 |
rickspencer3 | yeah, I'm 99% certain it's a compiz effect with a reflective table | 00:46 |
smarter | JontheEchidna: no, when KDE start | 00:47 |
JontheEchidna | oh, yeah I see that too | 00:47 |
smarter | I'd be blind else :p | 00:47 |
yuriy | oh so it's the cover flow thing? I don't like that much | 00:47 |
rickspencer3 | meh | 00:47 |
rickspencer3 | I likes | 00:47 |
smarter | yuriy: it's like 4 clicks to change it :p | 00:47 |
* smarter liek it too | 00:47 | |
* JontheEchidna wonders if we still have coverwitch and boxswitch activated at the same time... | 00:47 | |
smarter | O_o | 00:48 |
JontheEchidna | by default | 00:48 |
JontheEchidna | oh, that was fixed | 00:48 |
smarter | unfortunately coverswitch doesn't work with XRender :/ | 00:48 |
smarter | or at least, not here | 00:48 |
JontheEchidna | I tried it, nor here | 00:49 |
JontheEchidna | XRendr is 2D accel only iirc | 00:49 |
smarter | oh, might explain it then :p | 00:49 |
* JontheEchidna finally got around to removing all the stuff deborphan said he had laying around | 00:51 | |
JontheEchidna | /me -- the original twitter client | 00:51 |
seele | rickspencer3: if you like quassel, you should have seen it before the last release | 00:51 |
smarter | JontheEchidna: never thought of it that way :p | 00:52 |
smarter | JontheEchidna: deborphan is supposed to be dead since a few release no? | 00:53 |
smarter | apt-get autoremove/aptitude whatever should do the same | 00:53 |
JontheEchidna | apt-get autoremove is insane | 00:53 |
JontheEchidna | I removes stuff I actually need | 00:53 |
JontheEchidna | deborphan's still in universe by the looks of it | 00:54 |

mkulke_ | anyone using pyqt/kde? i have a problem that when i want to connect a signal of my qobject derived python object, to a slot in a kmainwindow, python bails out w/: QObject.connect(self.session, SIGNAL("whop(int)"), self.transfer), RuntimeError: underlying C/C++ object has been deleted | 11:34 |
mkulke_ | what am i doing wrong here? | 11:34 |
smarter | Sime is probably the guy to ask ;) | 11:39 |
Riddell | mkulke_: able to give us the code to run? | 11:44 |
mkulke_ | uhm, yes | 11:45 |
mkulke_ | 1 sec | 11:45 |
smarter | what type of objects are self.session and self.transfer? | 11:47 |
smarter | this thread may be relevant: http://markmail.org/message/si3imcn7k4anefqw#query:pyqt "RuntimeError+page:1+mid:xmx6b2hqmnk7gsvb+state:results | 11:47 |
mkulke_ | Riddell: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/kasablanca/kasablanca-python/trunk/ | 11:47 |
mkulke_ | it's kasablanca.py | 11:47 |
mkulke_ | smarter: self.session is a Session object, derived from QObject | 11:47 |
smarter | mkulke_: does a print self.session works? | 11:48 |
smarter | (instead of the connect) | 11:48 |
mkulke_ | yes | 11:48 |
mkulke_ | <session.Session object at 0xb4a1de6c> | 11:49 |
Riddell | what about QObject.connect -> self.connect | 11:49 |
mkulke_ | self.transfer is a KasablancaMainWindow method | 11:49 |
mkulke_ | tried that | 11:50 |
mkulke_ | logically it should be self.session.connect i guess | 11:50 |
mkulke_ | but it does not matter really | 11:50 |
mkulke_ | non custom signal/slot stuff works | 11:50 |
smarter | what if you remove the second arg to self.transfer in kasablanca.py? | 11:51 |
smarter | def transfer(self): ... | 11:51 |
mkulke_ | no effect | 11:52 |
mkulke_ | i wonder whether there's more to it, than just deriving an object from QObject to make it issue signals? | 11:52 |
smarter | in C++ you have to add the macro Q_OBJECT, no idea if there's something like that in PyQt :p | 11:53 |
mkulke_ | yeah i know, i am used to c++ qt | 11:53 |
Riddell | mkulke_: how do I get settingswidget.py ? | 11:54 |
mkulke_ | pyuic4 settingswidget.ui > ui_settingswidget.py | 11:55 |
mkulke_ | i guess you meant that | 11:55 |
mkulke_ | smarter: so far converting to "rapid development" thingie w/ python hasn't worked out for me. i spent hours to figure out stuff like this :) | 11:56 |
smarter | hehe | 11:56 |
Sime | mkulke_: what is self.session? | 11:57 |
smarter | Sime: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/kasablanca/kasablanca-python/trunk/ kasablanca.py | 11:58 |
mkulke_ | Sime: a Session object (class derived from QObject) | 11:58 |
mkulke_ | maybe i need some kind of "super" call in the Session constructor to make Session signal/slot-able | 11:59 |
Riddell | mkulke_: I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/124227/ | 11:59 |
Sime | mkulke_: that old chess-nut. Your Session object doesn't have a QObject because you didn't call QObject.__init__() | 11:59 |
Sime | mkulke_: more or less what you just said. ;-) | 12:00 |
Riddell | what a really confusing error message | 12:00 |
Sime | not really, when you keep in mind that the python objects 'wrap' matching c++ objects. | 12:01 |
mkulke_ | heureka! | 12:06 |
mkulke_ | that's it. thanks alot Riddell, smarter, Sime | 12:06 |
smarter | you're welcome :) | 12:06 |
* smarter will keep that in mind next time he does pyqt :p | 12:06 | |
mkulke_ | Riddell: why you do not get settingswidget.py remains a mystery to me tho | 12:07 |
mkulke_ | i just checked out svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/kasablanca/kasablanca-python/trunk | 12:08 |
Riddell | mkulke_: well you told me to name it ui_settingswidget.py | 12:08 |
mkulke_ | no | 12:08 |
mkulke_ | the settingswidget.ui file is compiled (or whatever) into a ui_*.py file using pyuic4 | 12:08 |
Riddell | so where does settingswidget.py come from? | 12:10 |
=== milian_ is now known as milian | ||
Riddell | aah | 12:10 |
Riddell | it's in svn | 12:10 |
Riddell | but I overwrote it when I first compiles the .ui file | 12:10 |
mkulke_ | ah,k | 12:11 |
mkulke_ | how do i package this python stuff btw? | 12:12 |
Riddell | into a .deb? | 12:12 |
mkulke_ | yeah, but also generally | 12:12 |
mkulke_ | should the the .py files be put into a module or sth? | 12:13 |
Riddell | you can use cmake, take a look at printer-applet in kdeadmin for example | 12:13 |
Riddell | kdeutils rather | 12:13 |
Riddell | or system-config-printer-kde in kdeadmin | 12:14 |
mkulke_ | and as the backend of the app is a c++ kio-slave, can i deliver it w/ the python app or should they be seperate packages | 12:14 |
Riddell | it'll just install the files to /usr/share/kde4/apps/<appname>/<filename> and install a symlink from /usr/bin | 12:14 |
Riddell | they should be fine together | 12:14 |
mkulke_ | ok | 12:15 |
smarter | anyone could give me an account on a server somewhere to run QuasselCore? People are getting annoyed with my disconnections :p | 12:18 |
* Hobbsee wonders what quasselcore requires to run | 12:19 | |
smarter | Hobbsee: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libqt4-network (>= 4.4.3), libqt4-script (>= 4.4.3), libqt4-sql (>= 4.4.3), libqtcore4 (>= 4.4.3), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), adduser, openssl, libqt4-sql-sqlite | 12:27 |
smarter | so, no X11 | 12:27 |
Hobbsee | hrm | 12:27 |
* Hobbsee wonders why it depends on adduser? | 12:28 | |
smarter | because it creates a quassel/quassel user/group | 12:28 |
smarter | to runs the daemon | 12:28 |
smarter | like apache and others do | 12:29 |
smarter | *run | 12:29 |
mkulke_ | a.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("pySig"), "Hello", "World") <- this is wrong, i guess | 12:33 |
mkulke_ | i got the line from the riverbankcomputing reference | 12:33 |
mkulke_ | self.emit(SIGNAL("transfer(PyQt_PyObject, QString)"), self, fileName) works for me | 12:33 |
Sime | that looks better | 12:34 |
mkulke_ | but self.emit(SIGNAL("transfer"), self, fileName) doesn't | 12:34 |
mkulke_ | http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#emitting-signals | 12:34 |
Sime | are you going from a python object to another python object? | 12:36 |
Sime | connecting to a c++ might require mroe specific args in the signal | 12:36 |
mkulke_ | both are python objects | 12:36 |
Hobbsee | smarter: yeah....but....there's no need to depend on something in minimal ;) | 12:37 |
Sime | BRB | 12:37 |
* Hobbsee hopes it's not a hardcoded dependancy | 12:37 | |
smarter | Hobbsee: oh, probably :p | 12:37 |
* Hobbsee twitches | 12:38 | |
* Hobbsee wonders if it has any other interesting packaging bits in it, then | 12:38 | |
JontheEchidna | holy crap | 12:50 |
JontheEchidna | my inbox just got flooded with translation imports | 12:50 |

Tonio_ | smarter: yeah, but he already has so much to do... | 13:43 |
Tonio_ | Riddell: well, when you have a moment, knemo used to be a very popular kde3 app, getting the kde4 version in the repos could be interesting ! | 13:44 |
smarter | that's why Canonical is hiring KDE devs | 13:44 |
ScottK | smarter: No. It's not. These people are specificially not being hired to work on the Kubuntu work we already do. They are being hired to "improve the desktop experience". | 14:55 |

ScottK | Hobbsee: I also pretty fundamentally object to changing long standing system functions with little notification (pun intended) and then declaring all applications which don't conform t the new assumptions broken. | 15:34 |

smarter | what alpha software? | 21:04 |
a|wen | DreadKnight: your missing buddy icons with yahoo in kopete is fixed in kde 4.2.1 | 21:07 |
quassel208 | smarter moblin aplha 20, i booted up in 20 sec with a normall sata 3 hd | 22:13 |
smarter | quassel208: pretty cool | 22:14 |
quassel208 | trying with fedora sources to get kde4.2 on it, because xfce isnt my thing | 22:15 |
DreadKnight | a|wen: i know that bug has been fixed quite a few days now | 22:21 |
DreadKnight | but teoretically it will take about 10 months to have it fixed in official kubuntu i think (unless ported to a .1 version) | 22:22 |
a|wen | DreadKnight: it will be in 4.2.1 due out in less than a week | 22:23 |
DreadKnight | or will get into 9.04? | 22:23 |
DreadKnight | cool | 22:23 |
DreadKnight | last time i checked file transfer was phail in kopete over yahoo as well | 22:23 |
DreadKnight | even crashed it | 22:24 |
DreadKnight | haven't checked the status in bugzilla about that one | 22:24 |
a|wen | so will be in 9.04 ... and you should be able to get it from the kubuntu-experimental ppa for intrepid in ~week | 22:24 |
DreadKnight | and as far as i noticed, i don't even receive offline messeges over MSN protocol.. that's scary | 22:25 |
* DaSkreech doesn't recieve any messages over MSN protocol | 22:26 | |
rgreening | seele: hey seele | 22:26 |
DreadKnight | anyway, i think kopete is rather ugly when it comes to usability and even default settings | 22:26 |
DreadKnight | i can't even copy or click links from my contact's status messeges.. not cool | 22:27 |
DaSkreech | DreadKnight: I can | 22:32 |
DreadKnight | DaSkreech: how? :P | 22:33 |
DaSkreech | DreadKnight: Normally I either click on the link or I drag it to where I want it | 22:33 |
DreadKnight | DaSkreech: from the contact list? :P | 22:34 |
DreadKnight | i said from status messege, not conversation | 22:36 |
DaSkreech | Oh I don't know | 22:37 |
DaSkreech | I don't have anyone who has a URL in the status message | 22:37 |
DaSkreech | can't think of when last I saw on | 22:37 |
DaSkreech | one | 22:37 |
DreadKnight | :P | 22:38 |
DreadKnight | kopete is damn awefull atm no matter what you guys say | 22:38 |
DreadKnight | typical case scenario is that people place links in statuses "i love this song" and some youtube link; or "new post on my blog" and yet again link | 22:39 |
DreadKnight | etc | 22:39 |
DreadKnight | and by default people want to see the avatars in contact list, like in every other IM application out there | 22:40 |
DreadKnight | which wasn't default for me | 22:40 |
DreadKnight | finding the account manager is sort of like hidden... somewhere in the menus.. in settings or something | 22:40 |
DaSkreech | huh? | 22:41 |
DreadKnight | i can go on with a lot of things; might as well make a blog post and put feed into k/ubuntu planet | 22:41 |
DaSkreech | It's the first thing that pops up when ou open Kopete | 22:41 |
DreadKnight | that's first time wizard :P | 22:42 |
DaSkreech | Yeah | 22:43 |
DaSkreech | After that it's at the bottom of your contact window | 22:43 |
DreadKnight | can you add a new account from there etc? | 22:44 |
DaSkreech | i would guess so it takes you to account management | 22:45 |
DreadKnight | i closed it a while ago... made me phail exams even more than pidgin xD | 22:46 |
DaSkreech | I'm not aruging that kopete doesn't need help. My arguement is who will help them | 22:46 |
DreadKnight | i agree | 22:47 |
DreadKnight | but i'm trying to pinpoint things that are fugly with them and how to make them better | 22:47 |
DaSkreech | They have a set of Juniour Jobs on Techbase | 22:47 |
DaSkreech | Just add them to it with a starter for how to make it better | 22:47 |
DreadKnight | perhaps swap the crappy 'account manager' thingy at the botton and have an icon in the main toolbar that takes you to the real account manager thingy | 22:48 |
DreadKnight | juniour jobs? | 22:48 |
DaSkreech | Small things that need changing | 22:48 |
DreadKnight | hmm | 22:48 |
DaSkreech | there are only a few Kopete developers | 22:48 |
DaSkreech | and they focus mostly on protocol stuff which isn't easy | 22:49 |
DaSkreech | GUI stuff can be done my someone who isn't that specialized | 22:49 |
DreadKnight | in most of the kubuntu planet blog posts containing images of kde desktops... most of them had pidgin in them | 22:49 |
DaSkreech | Yeah well they have 3 paid developers working on it | 22:49 |
DaSkreech | That's three more paid developers than work on Kopete | 22:50 |
DaSkreech | and more devs than continuiously work on kopete | 22:50 |
DreadKnight | ok found the junior jobs | 22:50 |
DreadKnight | well, GUI really sucks overall atm | 22:50 |
DaSkreech | Make it as detailed as possible and outline what the participant will need | 22:51 |
DaSkreech | to know to start | 22:51 |
DreadKnight | and saying it's how things are supposed to be because kopete supports so many protocols is a lame argument (someone here said that argument) | 22:52 |
DreadKnight | there was a closed source IM app supporting multiple protocols and it was looking quite good... miranda i think... there are also some new ones out there.. even crossplatform | 22:52 |
DreadKnight | ok | 22:52 |
DaSkreech | Miranda is closed source? | 22:54 |
DaSkreech | !info miranda | 22:54 |
ubottu | Package miranda does not exist in intrepid | 22:54 |
DreadKnight | DaSkreech: yeah... for windowz.. or was it mirana... let me google for some stuff | 22:56 |
DaSkreech | No it's miranda | 22:56 |
DaSkreech | It's open source I just didn't know it's Windows only | 22:56 |
DreadKnight | http://www.miranda-im.org/ | 22:57 |
DreadKnight | open source indeed | 22:57 |
seele | rgreening: pong | 22:57 |
DaSkreech | I like the Identity paradigm in kopete better than that | 22:57 |
DreadKnight | hmm http://www.trillian.im/ | 22:59 |
DreadKnight | there are others i don't remember the name | 22:59 |
DaSkreech | I know trillian | 23:00 |
DreadKnight | http://www.trillian.cc/ | 23:01 |
DreadKnight | 2 versions | 23:01 |
DaSkreech | I know one you have to purchase | 23:01 |
DreadKnight | or 3 | 23:01 |
DaSkreech | a different interface for one that you don't | 23:01 |
DaSkreech | AIR they have a third interface that's the new rewrite | 23:02 |
DreadKnight | so basic... pro.... and astra (beta) | 23:02 |
DaSkreech | Yes | 23:02 |
DreadKnight | a bit confusing with all those versions; but they could serve a little bit as inspiration (how trillian and others handle GUI related stuff) | 23:03 |
DaSkreech | You could submit stuff to kopete :) | 23:05 |
DreadKnight | getting now a techbase account | 23:06 |
DreadKnight | i sort of hate it that all IM apps use plain lists and categories.. i find it so crappy... | 23:07 |
DreadKnight | would be cool to manage contacts with tags (like files with akonady) and um... see them like icons in dolphin | 23:08 |
DaSkreech | DreadKnight: planned as I understand it | 23:09 |
DreadKnight | :) | 23:09 |
DaSkreech | again there are very few devs on Kopete and stuff like Nepomuk integration is heavy lifting | 23:10 |
DreadKnight | i'll see what's up with the kopete irc channel | 23:10 |
DreadKnight | cool | 23:10 |
DaSkreech | really what they need is a group of smaller devs dealing with less "important" stuff | 23:10 |
DreadKnight | mhm | 23:11 |
DaSkreech | If you would like to do mockups of ideas that would help as it would give new contributors a clear idea as to what to do | 23:11 |
DaSkreech | as long as it's not a drive by mockup :) | 23:11 |
DreadKnight | yes | 23:13 |
quassel208 | guys can you do that with kubuntu boot up within 20 sec? | 23:26 |
DreadKnight | not me at least T_T | 23:29 |
sebas | My BIOS alone takes 30-ish seconds | 23:51 |
sebas | That makes my cry (and use suspend) | 23:51 |
