\shMamarok: hope your are celebrating this day with a big party :) And hopefully Markey didn't forget this special day :)08:12
ScottKLooks like upstream plans policykit integration with systemsettings for KDE 4.4, so I think we ought to defer that to Karmic +1.08:14
\shkarmic+1 == new LTS, right? ;)08:21

OdyXHi, Debian kdesudo maintainer speaking - Could someone from the kdesudo developement team look into https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdesudo/+bug/365956 (Debian #525292) ? It is a big blocker for Debian actually…13:12

NightroseOdyX: i think that would be tonio who isn't here right now but not sure13:14
OdyXNightrose: I know Tonio_ and he promised me "rapid" action some weeks ago (no offence intended), just looking for other eyes maybe ;)13:15
Nightroseah ok13:15
OdyXI just don't know kdesudo's code enough to get down to real bugfixing13:17
JontheEchidnatonio basically is all of upstream for kdesudo. I don't think anybody really ever does any coding on it except him13:18
OdyXJontheEchidna: OK - I'll just push him more then :)13:19
JontheEchidnaHe was travelling quite a bit a few weeks ago, so a gentle reminder would probably be good :)13:19
milianis there a ppa for kde 4.3 betas (on 9.04)13:20
OdyXJontheEchidna: I'll wait for him to IRC again… Debian is not in any stress actually, so that bugfixing is not an emergency (yet)…13:22

agateauhey, what's the status with regards to the network plasmoid sru?13:49
agateauseems like people are getting a bit tired of waiting :/ (see #339313)13:50
Riddellagateau: I don't really know what to do about it, bug 334052  and bug 330811 are the ones we were tracking and the update doesn't seem to have helped many people there14:14

JontheEchidnaI'm on karmic, so no14:33
agateauRiddell: oh :(14:33
JontheEchidnanot all of the packages are built yet14:33
jussi01JontheEchidna: ahh, that would explain it14:34
JontheEchidnaworkin' on it14:34
jussi01JontheEchidna: thanks, can you let me know when they are done?14:34

rgreeningTonio_: fyi: http://cia.vc/stats/project/usb-creator15:31
rgreeningTonio_: the new branch has a lot of changes from the old one.15:32
rgreeningSo I am having to do a lot of work... A LOT!15:33
rgreening:}15:33
JontheEchidnais that mainline usb-creator?15:33
JontheEchidnanice15:33
rgreeningyeah JontheEchidna, Im working on the KDE front-end15:33
rgreeningwant to help JontheEchidna15:33
rgreening:)15:33
JontheEchidnaperhaps once I get 4.3 b2 all wrapped up for jaunty15:34
JontheEchidnawhat needs done?15:34
Tonio_rgreening: ah :/15:34
rgreeningJontheEchidna: convert the gtk_frontend.py into a kde_frontend.py15:34
rgreeningthe usb-creator-kde launcher already works.15:34
rgreeningui is designed15:35
rgreeningkde_frontend.py is partially written/working...15:35
rgreeningneeds love15:35
rgreeninglots15:35
Tonio_rgreening: isn't it easier to just take the .ui file and rewrite everything from scratch on the base of the gtk code ?15:35
rgreeningTonio_: ? I think thats what I am doing15:36
rgreening:)15:36
JontheEchidnargreening: wanna make a bzr branch for kubuntu-members so that we can both push?15:37
rgreeningit's in bzr, under my lp15:37
Tonio_rgreening: :)15:37
JontheEchidnabut I can't push to your lp v.v15:38
rgreeningJontheEchidna: if I subscribe you, are you able?15:39
rgreeninghttps://code.launchpad.net/~roderick-greening/usb-creator/kde-frontend15:39
JontheEchidnalemme check15:39
rgreeningJontheEchidna: whats yer lp?15:39
JontheEchidna~echidnaman15:40
rgreeningJontheEchidna: added...15:42
JontheEchidnadoesn't seem to give me upload permissions15:43
JontheEchidnaI do have some thoughts on the whole "kdesudo to relaunch" thing15:43
rgreeningok, how do I change this to go to kubuntu-members15:44
JontheEchidnagood question15:45
JontheEchidnaIs usb-creator going to be primairly launched from the menu?15:46
JontheEchidnaIf so, you can set the .desktop file to make KDE ask for the password without you having to code anything15:46
rgreeningJontheEchidna: possibly...15:46
rgreeningJontheEchidna: the right way would be to force policykit15:46
JontheEchidnaand then you can just just make a "run me as root" kmessagebox if somebody runs if from konsole15:46
JontheEchidnayeah, policykit would be the best solution15:47
rgreeningJontheEchidna: I think I did something wrong.. Look at https://code.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/usb-creator/kde-frontend15:48
JontheEchidnanothign jumps out to me as being wrong15:49
rgreeningdo you see a "get this branch link"15:49
JontheEchidnaGet this branch:   bzr branch lp:~kubuntu-members/usb-creator/kde-frontend15:50
rgreeningnm.. took a while to update15:50
JontheEchidnaUpdate this branch: bzr push lp:~kubuntu-members/usb-creator/kde-frontend15:50
rgreeningcool15:50
rgreeningokies, there you go. update a way. If you can get policykit, I'll continue to hack the rest15:50
rgreening:)15:50
JontheEchidna:)15:50
JontheEchidnathis'll be an adventure15:50
rgreeningyay15:50
rgreeningand if you can get policykit figured out, the gtk fe can use too15:51
rgreeningI have been trying to not change anything in the gtk/fe part of things (for now).15:51

JontheEchidnaI think I might know why15:57
JontheEchidnathe new bindings disables pykde15:57
JontheEchidnabut what if the package wasn't commented out?15:57
JontheEchidnait'd ship an empty package15:57
* JontheEchidna investigates15:57
rgreeninglol15:58
JontheEchidnayeah, we need to comment out python-kde4 so that an empty package won't be built15:58
rgreeningJontheEchidna: to run the app within the dir is wonky.15:58
JontheEchidnaRiddell: don't upload bindings just yet :)15:58
rgreeningJontheEchidna: you need a top level copy of usb-creator-kde and the ui file (from gui)15:59
rgreeningjust don't bzr add them15:59
RiddellI've replaced kdeplasma-addons in the seed with kdeplasma-widgets-addons which should stop the 50MB of wallpapers being dragged in16:04
JontheEchidnaRiddell: bindings good to go now.16:18
JontheEchidnanow I just need to downgrade...16:18

valgaavI always wondered why ubuntu sticks with cds instead of providing one livedvd with the choice of gnome kde or xfce ... :P 700 mb is not that much seeing how every release strugles to reach the less then 700 mb goal17:34

harolddongI'm using the beta and last night after an update that through my wallpaper stopped displaying. its just the checkerboard thing now and there is not even any section to change it in desktop settings anymore.  Also some of my notifications are in the old kde3 style now not the new plasma style.  does anybody know what happened?20:04
bdgraueharolddong: same here, think we have to wait till it is fixed ;)20:12
bdgraueharolddong: backgrund color works and the weather plugin can also display a wallpaper20:13
harolddongah okay I just wanted to know if it was just me or not20:13

bdgrauemaybe only you and me, but i dont think so ;)20:14

NCommanderRiddell, if you removed 50MB worth of wallpaper, but the CDs at 677MB, where's the other 27MB?22:24
NCommanderRiddell, maybe we should dump OOo, that would give us enough space to ship most of the langpacks :-)22:25
