seeleanyone having problems with plasma on 4.2.1? it seems to be running pretty poorly01:44
shtylmanseele: on the contrary...for me very smooth :/01:52
seelehum.. wtf then01:53
seelethis is running like total crap01:53
josh-lanyone figure out a fix for firefox tabs using kde4 sytle?05:22
agateauanyone having troubles with NetworkManager in Jaunty?09:12
davidbarthagateau: what kind of problems?09:18
agateaudavidbarth: it can't connect to my wifi access point09:18
agateaui can connect manually and with wicd, so i guess it's a NM issue09:19
agateauhappens on two machines, with different wifi chipsets09:19
Lureagateau: only with WPA-Enterprise09:32
Lureagateau: and hidden neworks09:33
agateaunothing like that here... wep (due to some old hardware), visible network09:33
Lureagateau: does knetworkmanager or nm-applet work? for me, it is only plasma-widget that is broken09:33
agateauLure: I haven't tried knetworkmanager but nm-applet does not work09:34
Lureagateau: then it is n-m / driver communication probably - you want to talk with asac09:34
agateauLure: ok, heading for #ubuntu-devel then :)09:35
Lureagateau: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager might help to collect appropriate debugs09:35

Riddellhola09:59
agateauLure... seems my wifi problems were highly related to me not selecting the correct key format... :)10:00
agateauLure: mmm... not so good, I can connect with nm-applet, but not with the kde plasmoid10:10
Tonio_hi there10:32
Tonio_Riddell: tested latest k3b upload ? fixed most of the issues for me10:32
Tonio_Riddell: I've been able to burn isos both dvd and cd...10:32
RiddellTonio_: let me try10:37
Tonio_Riddell: kk10:37
RiddellTonio_: still gets stuck on Writing Lead Out10:48
bothorsenRiddell: I'm still working on the Qt4-X11 bug (#261380). The author of the patch has Qt packages built at https://launchpad.net/~gagern/+archive/ppa11:05
bothorsenRiddell: The only reason (I think) not to ship the patch would be if the Qt packages on the disk grow too much with the patch. Otherwise I see no reason not to do it, and it does indeed give some value for debugging11:06
Riddellbothorsen: if it's in a PPA you can download the packages and compare sizes?12:03
bothorsenRiddell: Yes, but after comparing, I would not really know if it would be acceptable12:04
bothorsenRiddell: The patch itself looks good to me12:05
Riddellbothorsen: well what's the difference?12:06
* bothorsen downloads again :)12:07
* Riddell away for upgrade testing12:07
bothorsenRiddell: Looks like the packages don't really grow, actually12:28
bothorsenRiddell: libqtcore4 went from 1,458kB to 1,462 kB. Much less than I had feared12:29
davmor2Riddell: I'm testing Kubuntu this afternoon anything I should be looking out for in particular?12:29
bothorsenRiddell: I assume the size of the dbg packages isn't really important?12:31
davmor2agateau: did you get the nepomuk issue resolved (was it you looking at it)12:35
=== JontheEchidna changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Three days to beta! | Feature Freeze, UI Freeze and Beta Freeze in effect - Fix bugs! | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Todo | Congratulations to rgreening and a|wen - Kubuntu's newest MOTUs!!!
RiddellJontheEchidna: the count down!12:38
JontheEchidnaYep!12:38
Riddelldavmor2: we turned nepomuk off, if you open it in system settings it should prompt you to install the working but non-free backend12:38
Riddellbothorsen: that sounds good, dbg package size not really important12:39
Riddellbothorsen: so remind me again what this patch does which is different from qt's normal debug setup?12:39
davmor2Riddell: Right I'll take a look at that after then :)12:39
Riddelldavmor2: check if the plasmoids on the desktop start up properly I guess12:40
davmor2Riddell: Yes no probs if you think of anything else just ping me :)12:41
Tonio_Riddell: about k3b, works well for me.... that's strange....12:41
Tonio_Riddell: are you playing with a dvd-rw or +rw ?12:42
RiddellTonio_: +rw says here12:43
Tonio_Riddell: I was testing with a -rw12:44
Tonio_Riddell: I'll ask other people to test...12:44
bothorsenRiddell: The patch removes the strip from the build, so the library has more debug info and you can singlestep into the package code and get better backtraces12:45
Tonio_Riddell: just uploading another svn snap for k3b... lots of commits those days...12:54
=== txwikinger_wor1 is now known as txwikinge1
=== txwikinge1 is now known as txwikinger_work
ScottKConsidering we won't get kdelibs off the CD due to OOo, is it really worth pushing forward with k3b at this point?13:10
Riddellupgrade from intrepid seems to work13:28
RiddellScottK: it would be nice since kde 3 has no kioslaves et al, but it's not a priority for the reason you say13:29
agateaudavmor2: sort of, we work-arounded it by disabling nepomuk end suggesting the installation of the soprano-backend-sesame package13:32
Riddellhrm, python-qt4-dbus is broken on this upgrade13:37
agateauJust played a bit with KPackageKit +/- icons...13:49
agateauthe current implementation looks a bit ugly IMO13:50
agateauis it too late to fix this? (assuming I have a patch ready ;-) )13:50
Riddellagateau: should be ok, do run your design past seele13:50
agateauRiddell: ok13:51
Riddellryanakca: how did your upgrade go?14:04
freinharderm anyone with intel hardware and UXA round? just went through the UXA bugs on launchpad and noticed that VT switching seems to work (at least for me)?14:13
cbrhmm.. pidgin went all 100% cpu on me14:15
cbrfor no reason14:15
freinhardcbr: there's one reason: you shounld use kopete as long as you are in #kubuntu-* ;)14:18
cbrkopete doesn't cope with accepting new friend request in MSN14:19
cbrit just displays the horrible black KDE popup near the systray14:20
cbrwhich has only a "View" button on it14:20
cbrwhich displays kopete main window14:20
cbrand that's it...14:20
cbrit has failed in the past as well.. so when i logged in with pidgin (or was it gaim then), i had several pending buddy requests14:22
cbrso i can't trust it any more :(14:22
freinharddidn' kopete move to libmsn recently? (using kopete just for jabber and oscar)14:25
cbrit did14:26
ScottKcbr: Do you have ubuntu-desktop installed too or just kubuntu-desktop?14:27
agateauRiddell: just for info, here is the result of my changes: http://imagebin.ca/view/OS6yShz8.html14:27
agateau(note that there is a mouse over effect, but it's difficult to notice on a static image)14:27
cbrScottK: i have kubuntu installed, but pieces of gnome too14:28
cbrlike rhythmbox, synaptic, nm-applet and pidgin14:28
ScottKcbr: I'd check and see if you have notify-osd installed.14:29
cbrScottK: i don't14:30
ScottKOK, we can't blame that then.14:30
* ScottK wonders if maco know about what to try next?14:31
macowhat?14:31
macoi was just about to report a notify-osd bug...14:32
ScottKcbr: Would you please summarize your pidgin problem for maco?14:32
cbrit went 100% cpu on me14:32
cbr:p14:32
macolovely14:34
* ScottK figures maco is the local pidgin in KDE expert.14:34
macohaha14:36
* ScottK is not kidding.14:36
macowell i just found that when a friend sent me a jabber auth request and we were both using pidgin, BOTH of our pidgins crashed14:36
macodo you have a bunch of pidgin plugins enabled? id disable them and see if it happens again14:37
cbrexactly zero14:38
cbri've had kmail crash on me as well, after imap has hanged14:39
macoyeah well kmail crashing is apparently "yeah, we know. just dont use imap" from what ive gathered when i whine about it14:39
ScottKKmail and imap have never been a good combination.  Some people have success with disconnected IMAP.14:39
macoyes, disconnected imap does work. just dont read the mails while it's syncing. you'll have to go through and remark them as read14:40
macowhich is still less annoying that crashing14:40
cbrdisconnected imap?14:40
macoyeah14:41
macoit batches the server requests14:41
cbruhuh, not getting it :p14:42
agateauit also caches result so that you can read your mail offline14:42
macoi get the impression its that halfway between pop & imap utopia protocol i wanted and wouldnt use a mail client because it didnt exist14:42
agateauat least, that's the theory14:42
cbrso it's pop3 essentially?14:42
macoexcept it syncs with the server14:43
macoso any changs you do locally still happen on the server like imap, just not til the next sync14:43
macoi have had pidgin use 100% cpu once, and i was in gnome at the time14:44
macojdong claimed it was likely a bad reverse dependency thing with a plugin...i think i was using a getdeb pidgin at the time14:44
agateauno it's imap, with a cache14:45
agateauif you remove a message from your folder, it will remove it on the server when it gets connected14:45
macoyeah, the utopia protocol :P14:46
agateauit's also the way it works in thunderbird if you mark a folder for offline use14:46
QuintasanHi15:16
Tonio_ScottK: if it works, yes, I think so, but atm it's still only on my ppa15:23
Tonio_ScottK: lots of things are broken in kde3 k3b due to ioslaves...15:23
ScottKTonio_: I think testing in your PPA is great.  I'm not sure we ought to push the KDE4 version over the KDE3 version this late in the cycle.15:24
Tonio_ScottK: except if it works like a charm, that's right15:24
Tonio_ScottK: and this is the reason it's not already in, btw :)15:24
ScottKYes, of course.15:24
Tonio_ScottK: we can consider backports / sru if it there's an official release later...15:25
ScottKI mostly wanted to point out that one of the reasons we were pushing for it (kdelibs off the CD) isn't happening regardless of k3b.15:25
Tonio_ScottK: I knew about OOo for long !15:25
ScottKOK.  Just making sure.15:25
Tonio_ScottK: talking about that, I'll look at OOo and kde4 integration.... I think nothing is in the work for this15:26
Tonio_ScottK: I have a hack for kde4 dialogs that works pretty well here, but the way to do that is really crap :)15:26
ScottK;-)15:26
Tonio_ScottK: you have to force gnome and then wrap to kde4 dialogs :)15:27
Tonio_but it works, very decently :)15:27
cbrwhere's the kde4 k3b ppa?15:34
macoTonio_: wait you mean the "use my qt theme on gtk apps" thing?15:37
Tonio_maco: nope, I'm talking about dialog boxes :)15:37
macoTonio_: on OOo or are there two topics at once?15:37
Tonio_maco: nope the other one is a crappy one, therefore not a valid topic to discuss for kubuntu :)15:38
macowell you were talking about OOo v. kde4...15:38
macoi thougth you were saying "make OOo do GTK stuff, then make it use the qt-for-gtk theme"15:38
Tonio_maco: nope I as talking about kgtk, which is an ugly ld_preload hack, but that works15:39
macooh ok15:39

davmor2Riddell: Only till you hover the mouse over them now :)16:44
Lureremind me: if I move some files from one binary package to other (both from same source), I need to Replaces/Conflicts to other version (with <= version)?17:05
* Lure wants to move some files from digikam to showfoto package17:05
JontheEchidnacorrect17:05
LureJontheEchidna: ok, was just not sure if <= works with Replaces/Conflicts17:06
RiddellLure: << not <=17:09
a|wendepends on which version you use after << or <=17:10
Riddell<< new-version17:11
Riddellin my humble opinion17:11
a|wenseems both are used almost equally ... but i think i would go for the << new-version as well17:17

valgaavWhen kicoff is opened and I switch the virtual desktops by pressing on the second one the kickoff never comes up again, is it a known bug ?21:51
ScottKI had something like this happen once.21:52
ScottKI switched to classic menu style and back and it was fine after.21:53
valgaavI'll have to try that then :)  thanks21:56
ScottKIf it happens more than once, it's worth reporting.21:57
valgaavit happened all the time21:58
valgaavbut now when I switched to classic menu and back to kickoff it doesn't happen anymore21:58
ScottKJontheEchidna: Do you know about ^^^ this bug?21:58
valgaavstrange bug21:58
JontheEchidnanot that I know of21:59
ScottKvalgaav: Then I think you should file a bug report.21:59
valgaavI spoke too soon :P21:59
valgaavit happened again :/21:59
JontheEchidnaI doubt it'd be a kubuntu-specific issue, so I'd probably report it at bugs.kde.org21:59
valgaavI'll check another distro in live mode to make sure ... but yeah I think it's upstream22:01
valgaavwill report, thanks for the way to fix it though :) sure is nicer then restaring X server22:01
