larsivi_hola - tried to upgrade to jaunty from intrepid, but the upgrade-notifier-kde -d thingy told me there was none09:39
larsivi_so I did it the old way using apt-get dist-upgrade09:39
QuintasanThere is a conflict between kde-l10n-pl and gwenview-l18n, kde-l10n-pl tries to overwrite  /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/pl/gwenview/index.cache.bz211:00
larsivifirst impressions of jaunty : Quassel isn't of much use; it does not adapt to the KDE colour scheme automatically, and it is impossible (or at least very difficult, I can't find it) to set up default channels for a network11:32
MamarokSput: ^^11:36
larsivithe colour scheme issue means that most of the text isn't readable with a dark kde scheme11:36
Mamarokbrilliant, I have a user in #kubuntu-de who has the same problem than I have, Pulseaudio showing up in Phonon but is not installed, he uses Intepid with 4.1.4...12:09
jussi01larsivi: first bit is a bug, sput is currently working on it afaik. second, default channels are channels you have joined. if you are in them when you quit, it will rejoin them on start.12:19
jussi01larsivi: I have a dark colour schem, so Imfamiliar with that ;)12:19
larsivican kde system settings somehow be used to control touchpad scrolling settings? since upgrading changed them, I mean ...12:36
larsivimeh, it is only a konqueror issue12:43
LureRiddell: any reason we still have koffice 1.6 in repo?12:48
* Lure would though that it would be better to just switch to 2.0 rc12:48
=== Noughmad_ is now known as Noughmad
QuintasanMamarok: PA shows here too. Along with mine sound card14:32
=== gkiagia_ is now known as gkiagia
ScottKDcop no longer works, right?15:09
ScottKe.g. I think we should just drop python-dcop from kde3bindings.15:09
larsividid anyone else see fairly heavy graphical glitches in jaunty?15:13
larsivithe toolbar in konqueror is mostly unviewable, and there is also issues in kmail/kontact15:15
ScottKlarsivi: Intel video?15:16
larsiviok, I see I get some graphical packages in updates15:16
larsiviScottK: yes15:16
ScottKIntel is known problematic.15:17
ScottKlarsivi: You can also try their uxa driver.  I find it works much better but falls over once or twice a day.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting15:17
larsiviheh, not sure that is better ;)15:18
larsiviseems that kde4 apps are affected much more than kde3 (konversation) apps15:18
ScottKI'm not sure yet either.15:19
ScottKPeople's experience with it varies widely depending on their exact hardware, so it's worth a try.15:19
larsiviScottK: ok, trying15:31
larsiviScottK: first impressions of UXA, much better :)15:39
ScottKIt's stunningly better except the crashing here.15:40
larsivino glitches so far, and very usable desktop effects15:41
jefferaiRiddell: Nightrose suggested my audio problem may be PulseAudio related15:43
jefferaido you know how to get rid of it without removing half of KDE?15:43
dtchenhuh, why is pulseaudio installed on kubuntu?15:45
smarterit isn't.15:45
larsiviI think it was in intrepid15:46
smarterthe pulseaudio lib(libpulse0) is installed, so that phonon supports pulseaudio if it's installed, but that's all15:47
larsiviIs quassel not adapting itself to dark kde themes a reportable bug? that together with difficulties setting up the channels per network makes quassel a major regression compared to konversation IMO15:48
Riddelljefferai: sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio15:49
Riddelllarsivi: yes that would be a bug15:49
jefferaihmm15:50
jefferaipulseaudio not installed15:50
jefferaialthough phonon shows a backend for it15:50
jefferaiah, I do have libpulse0 though15:50
dtchenah. pulseaudio is on the DVD and alternate but not on daily-live15:50
smarterjust don't use it15:50
* jefferai didn't use either of those15:50
jefferaiit's not like I wanted to!15:51
jefferaiheh15:51
dtchensmarter: it's a little more complicated than that15:51
dtchenwe autospawn in per-user sessions15:51
jefferairemoving libpulse0 wants to remove a *ton* of stuff15:51
dtchenthe proper way to disable pulseaudio is to edit /etc/pulse/client.conf and change "autospawn = yes" to "autospawn = no"15:52
dtchenor you can comment out (use leading semicolon) "autospawn = yes"15:52
dtchenthen, killall pulseaudio15:52
jefferaiah15:52
Riddellkdebase links to libpulse15:52
jefferaiyeah, boo15:52
jefferaiRiddell: my problem is that phonon works totally fine15:52
Riddellthat doesn't seem like a problem :)15:53
dtchenat that point, you should be able to run `sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*' and not see pulseaudio15:53
jefferaibut anything not Phonon is now making ugly zap/static noises out of my PC speaker (not the good kind of speaker)15:53
jefferaithis includes both gnome programs, and things like going to VTY1 and my system beep15:53
jefferai*going to VTY1 and triggering my system beep15:54

jefferaidtchen: no, but it worked fine in intrepid15:54

RiddellLure: we keep koffice 1.6 because upstream still recommends it over koffice 2.0.  2.0 is more of a platform release than something most users will want15:58
LureRiddell: ok15:58
* Lure thought that 2.0 would need some testers, as it improved in rc15:59
dtchenjefferai: yeah, just as i thought15:59
dtchenjefferai: you need to mute 'PC Beep'15:59
jefferaiah15:59
jefferaiwhen did that get turned on  :-P16:00
dtchenjefferai: it didn't16:00
jefferaiOK, when did it's behavior change?16:00
jefferai*its16:00
dtchenmost bioses tell HDA codecs to initialise it to unmuted state16:00
jefferaiah16:00
dtchenthis is bug 33158916:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 331589 in alsa-utils "system beep in jaunty is the most annoying sound known to man" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33158916:00
jefferaihah16:00
jefferaiI totally agree with it16:00
dtchenyeah, well, there's no good way to fix it for upgrades16:01
dtchennew installs are easy- we clobber the element and unmute it forcefully16:01
dtchenmute*16:01
jefferaiah, ok, so it's added in newer alsa16:01
dtchenno, it's hardware-based16:02
jefferaiok, access to it is added in newer alsa16:02
jefferaiwhich also happens to unmute it when installed16:02
dtchenno, alsa doesn't do anything with it16:02
jefferaiI didn't update my bios16:02
jefferaior change any settings in it16:02
dtchenalsa accepts what the bios programs the HDA codec to have16:02
jefferaiand the change happened when upgrading to jaunty16:02
jefferaiok, so now alsa accepts something it didn't before?16:03
dtchenalsa has always accepted what the bios tells it16:03
dtchenthere are ways to fudge around broken bioses- that's known as the quirk mechanism16:03
jefferaiyes, I know about quirks16:03
dtchenhowever, we haven't seen a proliferation of HDA codecs exposing 'PC Beep' until recently16:03
jefferaiso this could be due to the new version of the kernel module, perhaps?16:04
dtchenin a way, you're correct that -kernel now exposes it16:04
jefferaiOK16:04
dtchenhowever, the kernel has always exposed that same register- it's just now visible to userspace tools instead of having to use hwdep foolery16:04
dtchenthe sanest option would be to forcibly mute it for everyone regardless of setting16:05
dtchenbarring that, we could simply unbind the element in the codec drivers16:06
jefferaiAh16:06
dtcheneach has unintended consquences16:06
dtchenanyhow, not really Kubuntu-related, so i'll stop spewing :-)16:07
dtchen(and you have the resolution of your issue already described, which is to mute that element)16:07

dtchenRiddell: Mamarok? no16:49
ScottKRiddell: dcop is non-functional in Jaunty, so we should drop python-dcop, right?16:50

Mamarokfunny is, those all seem to be pulseaudio related, although I have no pulseaudio installed (purged the package, removed phonondevicesrc)16:57
dtchenMamarok: 354896 lacks sufficient info. the DebuggingSoundProblems page has a reference to the http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh script that *must* be run.16:58
Mamarokand pulseaudio shows up in the card list in Phonon16:58
dtchenMamarok: so, for 354896, i would ask for output from that *bash* script16:58
Mamarokdtchen: that was a bad examle, sry, as this is Amarok related and doesn't happen with SVN, so likely to be fixed upstream anyway16:59
dtchenMamarok: i've asked for additional info in 330797. i'll clarify that this evening after i can get a kubuntu vm running, since i don't have the dialogs memorised.16:59
