tiglooi have a problem where a kcoreconfig instace will only write its values to a file when used together with KConfigDialog, but not when writeConfig is called from python20:15
EagleScreenplasma panel change its colour and transparency when I resize the panel, and this keeps forever!20:24
EagleScreensee here the difference: there are two images with the same wallpaper and both with Oxigen theme:20:25
EagleScreenhttp://imagebin.ca/view/d0szQb.html20:26
EagleScreenhttp://imagebin.ca/view/8GXZb5XO.html20:26
EagleScreencan you see the difference in the panel?20:26
JontheEchidnaLikely it should have been transparent before, but the cache was stale or something, and resizing it forced it to draw a new pixmap20:28
EagleScreenall KDE's I have seen has the "blue" panel in origin20:31
QuintasanEagleScreen: the Oxygen theme was changed from black to blue :P20:32
JontheEchidnaIf you have desktop effects on its transparent, though with the default wallpape that still makes it blue20:33
EagleScreenyes, by that it is originally blue, but later it lose its colour20:33
JontheEchidnano, what I'm saying is that it's always transparent, but the default wallpaper is blue which makes it look blue20:34
JontheEchidnaoh, you probably were replying to Quintasan20:34
EagleScreenJontheEchidna not, see the screenshots I have paste20:35
JontheEchidnaI already explained why you saw what you saw20:35
JontheEchidnaafter you pasted the links20:35
EagleScreenthe cache20:35
JontheEchidnayes, it was probably stale20:35
EagleScreenthen what is the right KDE apparience?20:36
JontheEchidnaTransparent20:37
JontheEchidnaUnless you don't have desktop effects, then solid20:37
EagleScreenCan I manage that transparency?20:37
JontheEchidnaNope, not without changing the theme20:37
EagleScreenI think KDE themes are more ugly with this transparency than in the "original" satate20:40

smarteralmost use a commit due to unproper use of git reset21:03
smarterthankfully, as git can do everything, there is a command to reset a reset: git reflog21:03
Tonio_smarter: git isn't that bad now, and pretty easy to use...21:04
Sputyeah, git loses nothing unless you gc/purge it :)21:04
Tonio_smarter: I'd say there is no big different with bzr, except for the performances :)21:04
smarterstill, it's kinda frightening :p21:04
smarterwell, I'm still totally confused using it, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Development/Git helped me a lot21:05
smarterbut I really like the way it handles branches, so I use it :)21:05
Tonio_smarter: bzr branch = git clone21:05
Tonio_bzr up = git pull21:05
smarterthat's kinda more complicated than that if you use git-svn :p21:06
Tonio_well I'd like commands to be unified a bit more...21:06

Riddellnotify-logout-required (no such thing exists but you could argue we should have one)21:09

JontheEchidnabut that's a bug in itself21:12
Tonio_JontheEchidna: I don't like to be forced to reboot, but looking at what osx does, I *hate* when I'm forced too, but it won't crash...21:13
RiddellTonio_: yes it uses knotify21:15

mofuxthey even are on the release announcement screenshots on the kde homepage :P21:33
mofux^when = went21:34
mofuxsorry for spamming this dev channel :]21:34
firephotoare there any options for changing touchpad settings on kubuntu jaunty?21:44
ScottKfirephoto: Yes.22:00
firephotoScottk something i need to install or do i need to keep trying to figure out the xml file somewhere mystery and translate some xorg.conf references man pages into that?22:04
=== Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_
=== Tonio_ is now known as Tonio__
ScottKfirephoto: Somewhat depends on what you want to do.  In System Settings under keyboard and mouse there are things like adjusting acceleration and stuff.22:06
=== Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_
firephotoi'm really just wanting to disable the tap to click or change it somehow to make it useful and not just a random clicking as you're moving about.22:08
ScottKHrmmm.  It's claimed ksynaptics was replaced by touchfreeze, but it's description is not encouraging.22:11
ScottKYou might see what that can do.22:11
firephotoyea. i thought the same thing but it actually only just disables the touchpad and gives you a tray icon for that.22:12
ScottKSo at least the description is accurate.22:12
jefferaiany packagers around that know how to deal with cmake and can tell me how easy/hard it will make their life if we change something around?  :-)22:25
jussi01ScottK: ^^22:26
Riddelljefferai: how do you mean change something around?22:27
jefferaiRiddell: we're splitting out the taglib plugins into its own package, and we're going to have the collection scanner be a separate package as well22:27
jefferaiwhat I want to know is, if we move the collection scanner to the top level directory22:27
jefferaiand we leave it out of the main CMakeLists.txt (or make it optional)22:27
jefferaiis it easy for you to then package each part separately?22:28
Tonio_Riddell: I'l adding patched to qt-creator to fix some bugs thanks to lex7922:28
ryanakcaRiddell, nixternal: When would be the best time to get together to discuss / sort out help.kubuntu.org? I can't tomorrow, but after that it should be good...22:28
Tonio_Riddell: is there any reason you didn't use dpatch or anything else for your previous patch ?22:28
Riddelljefferai: it's not hard, but it's nicest if upstream (you) release tars of the parts we need to package22:30
jefferaiRiddell: OK.22:30
Tonio_Riddell: I just wonder if you'd favor quilt or dpatch for non kde packages...22:30
RiddellTonio_: no paticular reason, probably just started experimental and never fixed it up, feel free to add it22:30
Tonio_oki22:31
Tonio_Riddell: and you don't want the docs with it ? I saw you patched for that22:32
Sputjefferai: yes, I wanted to mention the tarball thing as well (maybe I did already), at a defined location and possibly with a fixed and sensible versioning scheme :)22:32
Spute.g. unlike KDE's snapshots :P22:32
jefferaiSput: versioning scheme would likely be the same as Amarok itself22:33
ScottKvorian: New lemonpos out.22:33
jefferaiSput: for the taglib-extras package, we'd use the taglib versioning scheme, since we're using its API22:33
Sputjefferai: what do you do between release, e.g. once trunk requires a newer version than the last released one?22:33
Sputwell, we'll probably just offer a -9999 then22:34
jefferaiSput: I imagine we'll try to update it very quickly22:34
jefferaiI'm on taglib-devel so I should see notifications about upcoming releases22:34
vorianScottK: thanks22:35
RiddellTonio_: Qt is compiled without the docs22:38
Tonio_oki22:38
jefferaiRiddell: are you the amarok packager?22:38
ScottKHe's the most recent victim, but we tend to work as a team.22:39
Riddellas ScottK says22:39
jefferaiRiddell: ok...so you don't have any major issues with this?22:44
jefferaiScottK: ^22:44
jefferaieither of you?22:44
* Sput wonders why the amarok maintainer is always called a victim in any distro :P22:45
jefferaiunless you have better ideas, I'll separate out the client and the scanner into entirely separate build trees, although both will be in the amarok source tree22:45
jefferaibut we can probably give you separate tarballs22:45
jefferaihush, Sput  :-P22:45
Sput:D22:46
Riddelljefferai: fine with me, but seems strange to have the tars different then the revision control system (KDE does this with kdebase{-workspace,-runtime,,} and it's a bit confusing for people22:46
jefferaiSput: thought you're a gentoo guy22:46
jefferaiwhy aren't you in #gentoo-kde?22:46
jefferai:-P22:46
SputI am22:47
jefferaiRiddell: different than the revision control system?22:47
RiddellSput: ever tried compiling a package with its own embedded sources of mysql?  gets messy22:47
SputRiddell: I know your pain, I was fighting with amarok in Gentoo for long enough :)22:48
Sputwe still haven't quite fixed the mysqle mess22:48
Sputsince we can't just distribute a hacked binary...22:48
Riddelljefferai: you want revision control to have amarok sources including this taglib and scanner stuff, but final tars not to?22:49
jefferaino22:49
jefferaitaglib-extras will be separate22:49
jefferainot in the amarok tree22:49
jefferai(although in the kde tree)22:49
jefferaithe final tars would tar up different parts of the amarok source tree22:50
Riddellso that's inconsistent between the tars and the revision control sources22:51
Riddellwhich is confusing (more to people compiling it for the first time than for packagers)22:52
jefferaiI mean, we can also provide a tarball that has both the scanner and the rest of amarok22:52
jefferaiwhatever is best for you packagers22:52
jefferaiWe could also maybe have the sources by default compile and install the collection scanner22:53
jefferaiand then ask packagers for distros to disable this and separate them out22:53
NightroseRiddell: can you cc dot-editors to your replies like the last one so i know what is dealt with and what not?22:54
Riddelljefferai: why does it need to be separated?22:56
jefferaithe collection scanner is being made headless22:57
jefferaidevoid of X11 dependencies22:57
RiddellNightrose: normally yes but he was using gmail and gmail usually thinks my normal e-mail server is spam :(22:57
jefferaiand it's already been made so that it can be run in batch mode22:57
jefferaiso you can do remote/headless scanning on a media server22:57
jefferaithen read that instantly into Amarok22:57
jefferaiinstead of having Amarok do a scan through e.g. a slow wireless link22:58
Sputbtw, how's amarok gonna support including those files then?22:58
SputNFS?22:58
NightroseRiddell: isn't dot-editors open for posting by everyone?22:58
Riddelljefferai: so the idea is collection scanner can be installed on a remote computer?22:58
RiddellNightrose: it's moderated I'm pretty sure22:58
Nightroseah ok22:58
jefferaiyep22:59
jefferaiinstall the collection scanner on a remote computer22:59
jefferaiwhip up a few scripts with a couple lines each22:59
jefferaiand gravy22:59
Riddelljefferai: there's no need to separate the sources for that, we can package the binary files separately22:59
jefferaiRiddell: ok...even if it has its entirely own build tree?23:00
jefferaiseparating sources was asked for by e.g. Gentoo23:00
jefferaibut they said they can also deal with not having it separated23:00
Riddellwell gentoo installs from sources so it'll be easier for them to have separated sources23:01
jefferairight23:01
Sputwe'd prefer having a way to build them separately then though, by way of a cmake option for example23:01
jefferaibut they can also simply unpack parts of the tarball23:01
Riddellour users install from binaries so we are fine separating the binaries during compile and people can install only the one they need23:01
jefferaiSput: my thought was to simply have separate cmake build trees23:02
Sputor that23:02
jefferaii.e. the main CMakeLists.txt doesn't build the scanner23:02
Riddellhaving a cmake options sounds best to me23:02
jefferaiok23:02
Riddell-DBUILD_SCANNER_ONLY=true23:02
jefferaiOK23:02
Riddellelse it builds everything23:02
jefferaithat could work23:02
Sputbut don't listen to me, reavertm is your man and you two already talk :)23:02
jefferaiI'll try i23:02
jefferaiit23:02
jefferaiSput: it should be easy though23:02
jefferaithey can pass in an option to CMake via a USE flag23:03
jefferaiI just have to figure out how to do it23:03
jefferaiheh23:03
jefferaiok, gotta go23:03
jefferaithanks guys23:03
RiddellIF(NOT BUILD_SCANNER_ONLY)23:04
Riddell  add_subdirectory(amarok)23:04
RiddellENDIF(NOT BUILD_SCANNER_ONLY)23:04
Riddelladd_subdirectory(scanner)23:04
Riddellor something like that23:05
Sputextra care must be taken if you don't want to get KDE deps into the scanner23:05
Sputin which case it'd probably be easier to have separate cmake trees23:06
Nightrosethe scanner isn't exactly something people work on a lot23:06
Nightroseso i don't think that is a high risk23:06
SputoO risk?23:07
Sputnow I'm confused :)23:07
RiddellNightrose: replied to his next question too23:14
Nightroseok :)23:14
nixternalryanakca: anytime is good for me23:20
seeleRiddell: youre not available at all next week?23:22
ScottKNightrose: I was wondering if you could fancy up https://wiki.kubuntu.org/JauntyJackalope/Alpha6/Kubuntu with some Amarok screenshots?23:43
NightroseScottK: you probably want 2.0.2 screenshots right? i don't have that here :/   all i can give you is the screenshot that is in the release notes on amarok.kde.org23:44
ScottKNightrose: Way better than we have now.23:45
Nightrosehehe ok23:45
Nightrosewhen do you need it done by?23:45
ScottKAlso maybe a few words on 2.0.2 since that's new.23:45
ScottKNightrose: By sometime Thursday.  Dunno when, so Wednesday night to be safe.23:45
Nightroseok23:45
ScottKThanks.23:45
ScottKnixternal: Do you think you might contribute a Kmail/Kontact screenshot for us?23:47
JontheEchidnaThink we should put anything about KTorrent 3.2 in there? It comes with a new plasmoid23:49
JontheEchidnaI mean, if choqok gets a place there... :P23:49
ScottKJontheEchidna: Go for it.23:56
