sebsebsebI was told to try this channel02:22
sebsebsebI got the KDE 4.2  ppa  for  Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.10  Intrepid Ibex.   and did a upgrade tonight to  Juanty Jackelope 9.04  alpha 6.   when I logged into KDE.   I had a background.  no panel showing.   and  I could right click on the background for some more options,  as well as something on  the top right of my screen.   Is this normal I guess not.02:24
sebsebsebapparnatly this is the developers channel02:24
sebsebsebwell  I am not a fan of KDE402:25
sebsebsebjust like how some apps got better such as Ktorrent02:25
sebsebsebKDE3  RIP :(02:25
sebsebseband if  I am going to run  KDE apps,  I would normalley  in Gnome,   but  once  KDE4.2 is working properly again,  I am up for giving it another chance02:26
claydohsebsebseb: #kubuntu is the support channel02:41
sebsebsebnot02:41
sebsebsebfor 9.0402:41
sebsebseb#kubuntu is for  final stable releases02:41

sebsebsebwhy does KDE3 have to die :(   see above02:43
ScottKsebas: It's free software.  All it takes is someone to maintain it.02:55
ScottKoops.  That was meant for sebsebseb.02:55
sebsebsebScottK: yeah, but  it seems no one wants to,  and I can't02:55
ScottKThat's the reason.02:56
sebsebsebScottK: KDE3 Knoppix and distros like that sure that's nice,  but  Kubuntu KDE3 was alright, but  I would just go back to Gnome and use some KDE apps there02:56
ScottKI find KDE4 pretty good.02:57
sebsebsebScottK: maybe it should be an option though in the repos even for 8.10  and 9.04, even though it's  not really suppourted anymore02:57
ScottKA few people have said they were going to maintain it, but AFAIK none have really managed it.02:57
sebsebsebScottK: I found KDE4 to differnet when it came to the GUI and how it looked.   Ktorent has a much nicer version and Dolphin has improved.02:58
sebsebsebwhat does AFAIK mean again?02:58

sebsebsebkb9vqf: right, but can I have both,  3 and 4?03:48
kb9vqfsebsebseb: You should be able to03:48
sebsebsebsome guy got kde3 from  some where, and tried to upgrade,  and  well it would have just replaced that lot with kde403:49
sebsebsebkb9vqf: heh I bet I can't have kde2 or 1 or any of that though unless.   would probably be kind of interesting for me to try those, because they were before I used Linux03:49

sebsebsebkb9vqf: so that's for the svn the very latest?03:58
kb9vqfsebsebseb: Yup.  I don't think much will change from now on, unless it's a bugfix that I or other KDE3.5 stalwarts implement.03:59

kb9vqfsebsebseb: OK, maybe wrong word.  Those who still use it daily. :-)04:00
joshua_ok after adding http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu to my sources, is there anyway to update all my current kde3 applications to their appropriate kde4 versions all at once? or do I have to uninstall amarok kde3 for example and reinstall amarok kde4?04:01

mrvanesAm I the only one seeing broken font hinting in Jaunty at the moment?09:20
dotancohenI was seeing broken font hinting in Kubuntu Jauny Firefox, but I configred a different font inside firfox and it went away09:31
dotancohenI do not remember what the original font was called, should I create a new profile and check?09:32
mrvanesALL my hinting is borken09:37
mrvanesI use verdana as default OS font and it doesn't hint anymore09:37
mrvanesBut that _may_ very well be due to the experimental intel drivers I use, I just wanted to know if that is the case?09:38
agateauRiddell: got some bug for me?09:55
* apachelogger waves to dotancohen10:07
apacheloggeragateau: bug as in bug that needs fixing?10:08
agateauapachelogger: yes10:08
apacheloggerhm10:11
ScottKagateau: I don't suppose you would care to look at the KPackageKit update notification not being persistent (it's the reason we're still shipping the old update notifier)?10:12
apacheloggerScottK: isn't the update notifier not also taking care of missing lang packs notification?10:12
ScottKapachelogger: I don't know.  I know jR re-seeded it in response to the KPackageKit notification problem.10:13
agateauwe just added new stuff to update-notifier-kde, so it may not be a good idea to scratch it now :/10:13
agateauScottK: but can you explain a bit more what the kpackagekit issue is?10:14
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: please update description and title fo bug 31023910:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 310239 in kdebase "KFind search hard to use" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/31023910:14
ScottKOK.  Well it'd be nice to have the notification duration fixed generally.  That's just the case I knew of where it hurt the most.10:14
apacheloggeragateau: it looks like the following: new updates arrive, kpk triggers notification, notification goes away (even in the short period of time it is visible, the buttons are mostly broken)10:15
apacheloggerI think the main problems is that kpk's tray icon won't stick, as it is probably supposed to represent the constant state of updates-available10:16
agateauapachelogger: kpk is an always running app like update-notifier?10:17
macoJontheEchidna says thats something to do with broken persistent notifications10:17
maconot a kpk bug10:17
apacheloggerthe problem is that the tray icon also disappears10:18
apacheloggerso there is no indication of available updates at all10:18
apacheloggeragateau: it got a kded module to track updates and trigger the notification I think10:18
agateauoh ok10:19
* agateau grabs the source10:20
RiddellI suspect that's a bug or lack of feature in plasma10:20
apacheloggerRiddell: well, update-notifier does not have presistent notifications either, does it?10:21
agateauthe question is: even this bug gets fixed, we still need update-notifier for other stuff, don't we?10:22
apacheloggerso just getting the kpk tray icon to stick around when updates are available should be the target for now10:22
apacheloggerhm, right10:22
apacheloggerRiddell: what is update-notifier taking care of, these days?10:22
macoapachelogger: update-notifier DID used to persist in ubuntu gnome sessions. now they have no persistent notifier. instead update manager just opens at seeminly random (really: 7 days since last time a package manager was used for updates) behind everything else10:23
agateauapachelogger: it can install restricted packages10:23
agateaucodecs, and now nepomuk sesame backend10:23
apacheloggerwell, that is a one-time use case10:23
apacheloggersame applies for missing lang packs (if they get handled by update-notifier)10:24
agateauyes, but must be running to handle the request10:24
agateaubut it*10:24
apacheloggeroh ... isn't the reboot-needed notification handled by it as well?10:24
agateaui think so10:24
agateauyes it is10:25
apacheloggerwell, it needs to stick around then10:25
apacheloggeragateau: does it have an "update" button for update notifications?10:26
apacheloggerif so, I think we should just deactivate the kpk notification for jaunty and go with update-notifier10:26
Riddellapachelogger: update-notifier-kde has a systray icon to click on for updates10:27
agateauthe notification is button-less, but you can click the tray icon to start the update process10:27
apacheloggerhm10:27
RiddellI turned off the kpackagekit notifier10:27
apacheloggerI would find a button more obvious10:28
apacheloggerat least for the time a notification is actually shown10:28
agateaucan be done10:30
apacheloggerwell, low-priority, but nice to have :)10:30
apacheloggerconsidering kpk notifications are turned off I am all happy10:30
agateauok, anything else?10:34
Riddellagateau: upgrades need testing10:37
Riddellwe need to work out the best way to advise people to upgrade from hardy for beta10:38

Riddellfreinhard: well spotted13:16
Riddellagateau: hmm, if I run your kconf_update script and use the result to replace kwinrulesrc then run the dbus command it just reverts back to the old one13:23

agateauRiddell: how did you start it?13:26
Riddellagateau: well by hand so probably not the proper wya13:29
Riddellagateau: what's the best way to test it?13:29
agateauI mean you did something like cat kwinrulesrc | myscript.py ?13:30
Riddellyes13:30
agateauit's normal then13:30
agateaukconf_update is a strange tool:13:30
agateauwhat is printed on stdout by the script is added by kconf_update (new keys/new groups)13:31
agateauexcept for special blocks like "# DELETEGROUP bla"13:31
agateauwhich kconf_update interprets as "remove group bla"13:31
agateaubut it's kconf_update which does all the file manipulation13:32
Riddellagateau: I got it13:32
agateauNormally if you put both the .upd and the .py in the kconf_update/ dir, kded will detect a new file and run it through kconf_update13:33
Riddellput the files into /usr/share/kde4/apps/kconf_update/, ran kconf_update, voila okular presentation mode work13:33
Riddellyou rock agateau13:33
agateauhehe :)13:33

ryanakcaRiddell: Failed because I didn't have the GPG key to the kubuntu-members-kde4 / kubuntu-experimental PPA... In Karmic, would it be worthwile implementing logic to give the use the option of bailing or continuing if the missing GPG key isn't an archive.ubuntu.com one?13:44

JontheEchidnaand since gdebi is python and kpackagekit is C++...14:08
JontheEchidnait should be easy enough to take the code from gdebi and just give it to install-package though14:08

macoisnt UXA just intel's name for "look, we can do DRI2 now!"15:22
txwikinger_workintel works, or intel does not work?15:22
macoits intel's attempt to catch up to nvidia's rendering15:22
macotxwikinger: UXA is for Intel and Intel+Kwin compositing + !maco = works15:22

agateauis UXA the solution to "my desktop feels slugish since I installed Jaunty" ?15:25
rgreening:)15:25
rgreeningUXA should be the default for Intel cards for Jaunty...15:26
macoagateau: recompiling the kernel with preempt enabled is one way to deal with "my desktop feels sluggish since they EOL'd Feisty and made me upgrade"...15:26
cbri wouldn't make such bold claims15:26
cbrrgreening: it isnt15:26
macorgreening: its experimental. many cards go arse over tincan when they encounter it15:26
agateaumaco: :)15:26
rgreeningmeh.15:27
rgreening:>:15:27
cbrubuntu kernel doesn't have preempt?15:27
macono15:27
agateauand how does one enable/install uxa?15:27
cbrwasn't that the stuff that made stuff fast?15:27
macothats part of why pulseaudio glitch free suuuuucks15:27
macoit slows down the machine overall, technically, but it reduces latency for the user15:27
rgreeningSun IBM merger... I dub thee SunBM (Pronounced SunBeem)15:28
macolike, if you're doing single-task benchmarking, it might come out slower15:28
rgreeningremember where you heard it first folks.15:28
Riddellagateau: Option  "AccelMethod"   "UXA"15:28
macobut if you're a user and you want to click the button and gosh darn it, it should respond right when you click that button....yay preempt!15:28
Riddellagateau: under Device in xorg.conf15:28
agateauRiddell: ok thanks15:28
cbrso why did they disable it?15:29
macoit completely killed battery life for laptops15:29
macothe combination of it and hz=100015:29
maconow that we have tickless kernel, it should be ok to bring back15:29
macobut its too late in jaunty to do so now15:30
macoit can also create some odd race-condition type bugs if the kernel threads you preempt really did not want to be preempted15:30
maco(at least, this is what i've gathered is the situation based on reading kernel-team mailing list and chatting with apw and dtchen)15:31
agateaumaco: sounds like a lot of fun15:31

macotxwikinger: his new name proposal15:34

rgreeninglol... my coining of the phrase for th enew name :)15:34
macowell i suppose technically we heard about the potential merge on the news a few days ago15:34
macoso we heard that before we heard him. but i think he means we heard before others what he thinks teh name will be15:34
rgreeningI think SunBM could catch on. :) - Tagline: A ray of hope15:34

apacheloggerwhen I just tried the about-kubuntu stuff ont he live cd it failed :S15:58
nixternalcouple of more days15:58
apachelogger\o/15:58
nixternalyes, because of the change from /usr/share/doc/kde4 to /usr/share/doc/kde15:59
nixternalwhen you change it in the other packages, you have to change it in the docs as well15:59
apacheloggerdood15:59

apacheloggerRiddell: well, I am running it inside a virtual machine with safe graphics, but there was wrong rendering for the plasmoids going on16:11

apacheloggerJontheEchidna: what kickoff instances?16:16
JontheEchidnaadd widgets -> add kickoff16:16
JontheEchidnaadd widgets -> add kickoff again16:16
JontheEchidnaboth would share the same settings since they both used the same rc16:16

ScottKThere are Ubuntu specific translation efforts in LP.16:58

ScottKPersonally, I'll be happy if the Ubuntu translation process doesn't worsen the translations again.16:59

nixternalfreinhard: apt-get source will not get you anything close to what I have in bzr though17:15
nixternalwhat you get in apt-get source is actually very bad :(17:15
