Nightrosecouncil pong? :D00:03
Riddellshtylman_: I don't think there's anything especially needing you00:03
shtylman_cool00:03
Riddellhmm, a bit short of council the night00:04
Riddellgood thing we're going to get a new one :)00:04
apacheloggerlol00:04
seelehmm?00:04
Quintasan:D00:04
Riddelllet's start with membership00:04
yuriyhi all00:05
Riddelllex79: want to go first?00:05
lex79yeah00:05
Riddellcould you tell us who you are and why you want to be into kubuntu?00:05
lex79 I'm Alessandro Ghersi00:05
lex79https://edge.launchpad.net/~alessandro-ghersi00:05
lex79https://wiki.ubuntu.com/alessandro-ghersi00:05
lex79I helped in kde 4.2.3, .2.4 packaging and in 4.3beta2,00:05
lex79also I did the backport for Jaunty00:06
lex79I keep update some packages in Universe/Multiverse00:06
lex79I wrote many wiki pages in Italian wiki and in my loco team I'm member00:06
lex79of marketing team00:06
lex79I partceipe in italian cd project and stickers project00:06
lex79*partecipe00:06
lex79and I want become kubuntu member because kubuntu is cool :D00:07
nhandlerlex79 has my support for becoming a Kubuntu Member. He has been a hard working ninja, and definitely deserves the title of Kubuntu Member.00:07
apacheloggerJontheEchidna says: "Alessandro is an excellent candidate for Kubuntu membership. I stole him as my minion when apachelogger left, and he has shown most excellent work during the KDE packaging sprints. (Quick learner) Give him membership so I can stop sponsoring bzrish stuff for him and can use him more as my minion. >:3"00:07
lex79oh :D00:07
Riddelllex79: how did you learn packaging?00:07
seelehehe00:07
* apachelogger says: "I luv lex79 being a kubuntu minion :D"00:08
lex79Riddell: with wiki...00:08
lex79I read many wiki pages00:08
* Nightrose likes new minions... hmmmm00:08
Riddelllex79: is the documentation intuitive to read?00:08
neversfeldenew?00:08
lex79Riddell: sometimes not00:09
apacheloggerlex79: what is the status of kubuntu/linux/floss in italy?00:09
Nightroselex79: do you use a translated version of kubuntu? or the english one?00:09
lex79English one00:10
Nightrosek00:10
apacheloggerlex79: should use translated to squash issues early :P00:10
Riddelllex79: but you translate the deb descriptions?00:10
lex79apachelogger: users in Italy use only windows :)00:10
lex79Riddell: yes00:10
apacheloggerjeez, that really gotta change :D00:10
lex79there is many works to do for translation deb description00:10
lex79too packages in archive :)00:11
Riddelllex79: what do you think most needs improving in Kubuntu?00:11
seelelex79: are you a student or working?00:11
lex79add software is not easy in kubuntu00:11
lex79in ubuntu i think is better00:12
lex79seele: working00:12
neversfeldelex79: that has nothin to do with membership, but I'd like to know how kubuntu is integrated in the italian loco. Probably we could have a talk about it somedays?00:12
seelelex79: this is done as a hobby or do you work on open source as well?00:12
lex79neversfelde: in italian forum ubuntu is most appreciated than kubuntu i think00:13
lex79dunno for why...00:13
lex79seele: hobby00:13
apacheloggerlack of  promotion I would think00:13
lex79for now00:14
lex79apachelogger: yes00:14
lex79:(00:14
apacheloggerneed to fix that really :)00:14
lex79yes I think, I'm trying00:14
yuriylex79: what are your goals for the karmic cycle and beyond?00:15
lex79packaging and packaging :) each release of kde00:15
lex79and fix bugs if I can00:15
Riddellyay00:15
Riddell+1 from me for packaging and packaging00:15
apachelogger+1 fro bug fixing :P00:15
lex79:)00:15
seele+1 for wiki/documentation since nixternal isn't here to cheer00:16
Nightrose+1 from me for packaging help00:16
yuriy+100:16
Riddelllooks like +1s all around, congratulations lex7900:16
lex79thanks guys00:17
neversfeldelex79: I'll come back to you with this topic, I am really interested in how kubuntu is promoted in other countries00:17
Quintasangrats lex7900:17
neversfeldelex79: congrats00:17
Mamarokcongratulations lex79 :)00:17
lex79neversfelde: ok....00:17
Riddellonto the agenda https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Meetings00:17
lex79thanks :)00:17
nhandlerCongrats lex7900:17
* apachelogger hugs lex79 and hands him a cookie00:17
RiddellKarmic spec review https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuKarmicSpecs00:17
lex79apachelogger: :D00:17
Riddellanyone any queries or comments about the specs we wrote up at UDS?00:17
Riddellit's a challenging bunch of targets00:18
seelewhat is this ubiquity blueprint? i see mockups listed as a todo item00:18
apacheloggerI find the social stuff spec rather utopistic00:18
neversfeldeyes, I would like to bring the missing import feature for ssl certs in arora to attention00:18
apacheloggershoudl probably write a mail about that to the list though00:18
yuriylol @ "UDS Creator"00:18
* Mamarok wonders what that is00:19
seelethe social stuff seems like it should be karmic +1. social desktop is a 4.4 goal00:19
Riddellseele: shtylman_ had some mockups, we'll make sure he sends them your way00:19
yuriya little more than mockups even, I think that was a screenshot00:19
seelei also have some questions about this netbook thing00:19
Riddell"USB Creator"  I was tired and at the end of a long week when tidying up that wiki page00:19
Riddellseele: probably best to grab tonio, ScottK, rgreening for netbook, they're most interested in it00:20
Riddellwe can start off with social stuff in karmic, there's the open desktop plasmoid and micro blogging to be made use of00:21
seeleand is webbrowser just a question if we package arora or is to it replace firefox/konq as default?00:21
apacheloggerseele: I would mail the list about netbook questions too00:21
Riddellseele: it's to replace konq as default (if they do everything we ask them to do)00:21
seelehmm00:21
seelei have irc on my todo list as well00:21
apacheloggerRiddell: I do not think the open desktop plasmoid will be all that useful00:21
apacheloggerRiddell: also we have to keep in mine the space constraints00:22
apacheloggerusing those 2 plasmoids will probably eliminate anything else on the desktop00:22
neversfeldeRiddell: the open desktop plasmoid is very buggy, do you think it will reach a usable state till KDE 4.3 release?00:22
apacheloggerwell possibly we can desktop folder in00:22
socceroosHello fellows, just read the news about the OpenOffice KDE4 theme upgrade00:22
apacheloggerbut that is it00:22
socceroosany ideas where I can get this for intrepid?00:22
* seele wonders what the open desktop plasmoid is00:22
javican I suggest something?00:23
Mamarokwhat's the advantage of Arora over Konq? Acid3 test only?00:23
Riddellneversfelde: maybe not, I believe some of the bugs are down to qt graphicsview issues, so I'll probably put it in and we can decide at beta time if it's sensible to keep it00:23
apacheloggerMamarok: faster00:23
apacheloggerMamarok: more reliable00:23
apacheloggernsplugin doesn't eat your memory00:23
RiddellMamarok: able to read slashdot.org00:23
apacheloggeretc. etc.00:23
QuintasanI think Arora is faster than Konq, and flash works for me00:23
Mamarokdoes it use webkit?00:23
apacheloggerMamarok: yes00:23
Riddellsocceroos: we're in a meeting.  there's no packages yet.00:24
Mamarokgreat :)00:24
apacheloggerQWebKit it is00:24
Riddelljavi: sure, if it's relevant00:24
Mamarokkonq tends to die often in webkit mode for me in 4.2.9000:24
socceroosRiddell: apologies. Thanks for the info.00:24
neversfeldeRiddell: k, it lacks features too. When we integrate it, we should create a wiki page of what it is and what it is for. I would do this, if it is wanted?00:24
apacheloggerMamarok: that is not comparable00:24
apacheloggerthe webkit kpart is rather awful currently00:24
Riddellneversfelde: please00:24
apacheloggerwhich is why we are pondering a change to another browser at all00:24
seelewouldnt it make sense to maybe install arora alongside konq for one release before making a decision to switch to it exclusively?00:25
Mamarokwhat's the view of upstream on that?00:25
javiKubuntu doesn't use the activities yet, it's something the user has to add. Maybe it would be a good idea to add two activities by default, one with the default desktop, another with the new plasmoids or something like that00:25
Riddellwe'll keep konq on the CD00:25
seeleit's a pretty new browser and although it's popular, it doesnt have nearly as many users as konq and firefox00:25
kb9vqfhow is aurora better than, say, Firefox?00:25
Quintasankb9vqf: lighter and faster00:25
Riddellkb9vqf: it's KDE (well semi, Qt with bits of KDE)00:26
Mamarokjavi: users can add activities in Jaunty too00:26
kb9vqfAh, thanks :)00:26
neversfeldedoes somebody know if arora realizes the ssl certs imported with konqui?00:26
RiddellMamarok: upstream Arora is all for it00:26
javiI know, what I mean is it doesn't use activities by default00:26
Mamarokwhat about upstream KDE?00:26
apacheloggerjavi: that would be eating user's memory by default, which is rather bad, espcially since activities are a discoverable feature, so using them by default might not be too visible to the user but actually using up system resources00:26
Riddelljavi: is interesting, although activities don't seem to be sensibly discoverable yet00:26
Riddellneversfelde: it uses Qt's certificates, which I believe are the same as KDE's in KDE 400:27
RiddellMamarok: you're upstream KDE, you tell us :)00:27
apacheloggerRiddell: KDE still got KSSL00:27
apacheloggerwhich is completely independent from Qt00:27
Quintasan+1 for javi's suggestion, Social activity seems like a good idea00:28
MamarokRiddell: so are most of us, no?00:28
neversfeldegenerally I think it is not a bad idea to get a real an standalone webbrowser along dolphin as filemanager, but I am afraid that arora is in a to early state of development. I am looking forward in changing this with upstream authors :). But seems to be a very good idea to keep konqui for a while.00:28
seele+1 neversfelde00:28
apachelogger+100:28
kb9vqf+100:28
Riddellneversfelde: that's why we sent them a list of things we'd like to see00:28
Mamarok+100:28
apacheloggerbut we should at least try to push it along00:28
Riddelland why Konqueror will stay on the CD00:28
apacheloggerquassel made good progress for 9.0400:29
javimaybe one could be Default, or Desktop and the other Highlights, New on Karmic, ...00:29
apacheloggerif arora can compete with that we should have a sensible product at some point :D00:29
seelei hope quassel can get that amarok patch working to remove the lines.. i think it will help the look and feel00:29
Mamarokapachelogger: what an elegant transition :)00:29
neversfeldeok, I did not know that konqui will stay on the cd. Is it possible to keep konqui standard and have arora as the second choice on the cd, if upstream can not implement the wanted features?00:29
neversfeldejust to prepare it for beeing default browser in karmic +1?00:30
Riddellneversfelde: yes we'll decide at beta time which to set as default00:30
neversfeldenice :)00:30
apacheloggerthat being said, we need to transit bookmarks00:30
apacheloggerby default00:30
apacheloggerwhich is kinda fancy I assume, something we need to look into nonetheless00:30
yuriyneversfelde: not much point in having arora there if it's not the default. the whole point is not to have the user start out screaming my sites don't work00:31
apacheloggeryuriy: like we had that before? :P00:31
apacheloggerwe have like 10 bug reports related to that topic00:31
yuriysure, everyone just goes and installs firefox00:32
apacheloggerrighto00:32
apacheloggerarora will not change that fact IMHO00:32
apacheloggerfirefox is just more scalable and more public etc.00:32
javiapachelogger: only addon support will do, and that's not on aroras roadmap, am I right?00:32
neversfeldeyuriy: I think it should be easier to support a user, that does not like konqui, because it is not working, when araor is installed by default. Probably changing the webbrowser is also a log time task and we should be careful in karmic00:32
neversfeldebtw I like arora :)00:33
Riddelllet's move on00:33
* apachelogger thinks this is mailing list topic anyway :)00:33
neversfelde+100:33
RiddellKubuntu Council membership refresh00:33
Riddellat this time of year we traditionally replace half the council membership00:34
apacheloggerjavi: addon support for firefox addons really .. because it will be pretty difficult for arora to build up an addon database as big as firefox'00:34
Riddellnixternal, Tonio and yuriy have said they can step down for fresh blood00:34
Riddellso we're looking for volunteers and nominations to step up00:35
nhandlerI nominate JontheEchidna00:35
apachelogger<= volunteer00:35
RiddellI belive the community council wants to run a poll to decide who gets on so it'll be a bit of a beauty pagent00:35
javiapachelogger: maybe it would be smarter start working on jetpack support for the future https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/00:35
Riddellapachelogger: a volunteer!00:35
nhandlerRiddell: What team will own the poll? ~kubuntu-members?00:36
Riddellnhandler: no idea.  that would make sense though00:36
Riddellvorian told me he wanted to stand00:36
Riddelland rgreening said at UDS he'd be interested00:36
rgreeningme 200:37
rgreeningSorry Im late00:37
Riddella volunteer!00:37
apacheloggerIMHO it would be good if some non-developer would volunteer as well00:37
rgreeningI'm a BARBIE_GIRL, So I win the pagent00:37
RiddellI guess JontheEchidna isn't around to accept or decline the nomination00:37
seeleas in non coder or non packager?00:37
apacheloggeraye00:37
seelewe have 2 non developers already (although i think Nightrose does some packaging) so it's not like we're at a loss00:38
yuriyvolunteers! to the stake with them!00:38
apacheloggerRiddell: I'll accept for him since I am his official representee00:38
apacheloggerseele: well, ultimately it would be half non-devs and half devs :)00:38
yuriybut i'll nominate him (JontheEchidna) again anyway00:38
seelewas ScottK not interested?00:39
Riddellisn't ScottK on enough committees already :)00:39
Nightrosehehe00:39
apacheloggerhm, good point :P00:39
* Nightrose thinks we have a good selection by now for a vote00:39
rgreeningAm I on the guest list :P00:40
Riddellok, I'll check with JontheEchidna and forward him, vorian, rgreening and apachelogger to community council00:40
rgreeningschweet00:40
* rgreening should send in my video resume :P00:40
Riddellthey'll organise a wresting match or something similar to sort out the three winners00:40
Nightrosergreening: no need - we got that already ;-)00:40
seelewhere is voting? doodle?00:40
* apachelogger needs to do a fundraiser first00:41
Riddellseele: on launchpad I expect00:41
rgreening:>00:41
nhandlerRiddell: Could you please check with the CC about what team will own the poll?00:41
rgreeningI think it should be a Pub crawl00:41
Riddellnhandler: will do00:41
RiddellTutorials Day00:42
Riddellthere was general approval at UDS for another Tutorials Day00:42
Riddellwho has something interested to teach the world?00:42
apacheloggerRUBY! :P00:42
Riddellooh, a volunteer :)00:42
apacheloggeryus! :D00:42
Nightroseapachelogger: how about "easy the packaging pain with ruby" or something similar?00:43
neversfeldevolunteers all around here :)00:43
Nightrose*easing00:43
apacheloggerrapid package deployment with ruby00:43
nhandlero/00:43
RiddellNightrose: think any amarok dudes would be interested in telling us how amarok plasmoids are made?00:43
* apachelogger is not competely sober and probably will volunteer for anything :P00:43
nhandlerFor those of you who haven't noticed, we are holding weekly packaging training sessions00:43
yuriypackaging: the blood runs redder if you start with ruby00:43
nhandlerIf someone would be interested in leading a session this Thursday (or any Thursday) it would be greatly appreciated00:44
NightroseRiddell: lfranchi is too busy but i might be able to convince our newest plasmoid guy to have a go at this (takahani)00:44
Riddellwriting a python plasmoid would interest me00:45
neversfeldewould be good to have a general session in how to get in touch with kubuntu development?00:45
Riddellyes it would00:45
* Riddell wonders if neversfelde is volunteeting :)00:45
apacheloggerneversfelde would be a perfect minion for that00:45
neversfeldeI would like to listen and get in touch with development, so I am probably not a good choice :)00:45
apacheloggerdarn it00:46
Riddellsome ideas there anyway, I'll collate them into a wiki page and poke people into committing and find a suitable date00:46
apacheloggerRiddell: mail the list00:46
Riddelloh aye, e-mail, I always forget about that00:46
apacheloggerI would expect JontheEchidna to do a general devleopment session00:46
rgreeningRiddell: I'd do something, as long as it's after  finish usb-creator (god knows I'll catch hell if it doesnt get done)00:46
apacheloggersince he is master of the minions nowadays00:46
Riddellit's fun being one of JontheEchidna's minions, he gets all the blame for my bugs00:47
rgreeningbwahahahahah00:47
Quintasanlol00:47
Riddellwho added "Karmic defaults" to the agenda?00:47
rgreeningTonio_: ?00:47
apacheloggerJontheEchidna maybe00:48
apacheloggerhe got a complaint from upstream00:48
apacheloggerquoting...00:48
Riddellit was JontheEchidna indeed00:48
neversfeldeall ninjas should be available for a qa session and the minions could probably speak about their experiences with starting to be a kubuntu dev00:48
rgreeningcomplaint?00:48
apacheloggerThe default screen edge timeout should be reverted to the upstream defaults (https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-default-settings/1:9.10.6)00:48
apacheloggerThe timeout was there for a reason, (to prevent accidental triggering) and upstream thinks its a bad idea:00:48
apachelogger[Mon Jun 15 2009] [15:34:16] <mgraesslin> JontheEchidna: I don't think that's a good idea00:48
apachelogger[Mon Jun 15 2009] [15:34:23] <mgraesslin> "set electrib borders timeout to 0"00:48
apachelogger[Mon Jun 15 2009] [15:34:52] <JontheEchidna> agreed00:48
Quintasan+1 neversfelde00:48
apacheloggerWe should heed upstream's wishes and revert this change.00:48
Riddelltonio isn't here to defend himself but I've not heard any support for his change00:49
apacheloggerrevert it is00:49
neversfeldeI have to leave, gn8 everyone00:49
rgreeningnn neversfelde00:49
Quintasannight  neversfelde00:49
lex79nn neversfelde00:49
rgreeningThe fonts got smaller in Karmic :)00:49
rgreeningyay00:49
apachelogger+ mgreasslin is pretty awesome with kwin so I will trust his judgement of this stuff00:49
Mamarokgn8 neversfelde00:50
Riddellany other business?00:50
apacheloggeryes00:50
apacheloggerkdeaccessibility is all triaged00:50
apacheloggerbut judging from bug reports in incredibly bad shape00:50
Riddellit lacks much of an upstream alas00:50
apacheloggerit would be highly appreciated if someone could check every app there and report bugs or even fix them00:51
apacheloggerRiddell: true that00:51
apacheloggerpromo is needed for accessibility as well :D00:51
apacheloggerJontheEchidna also got the following: Standalone GTK theme KCM almost ready to go: https://code.launchpad.net/kcm-gtk (Just a few touchups req'd) It might be nice to integrate color scheme config and push this upstream for 4.4 (since it doesn't seem too distro-specific), but it'll probably cause issues with gtk-qt-engine installations at the present so that'd have to be resolved first00:51
Riddellone day, any year now, the dbus accessiblity stuff we've been promised for yonk will get done, then people can actually do accessibility with qt00:51
apachelogger:D00:52
Riddelltop stuff JontheEchidna00:52
rgreeningRiddell: do we have (or should we create) a low-hangin-fruit list of things for junior members to work on? People keep mentioning "it would be nice to ..." and invariably these never get done...00:52
Riddellrgreening: yes although such lists usually end up unmaintained00:52
apacheloggerwell00:53
yuriya list being a tag in LP00:53
rgreeningMaybe ryanakca or someone coul dmaintain :)00:53
apacheloggerIMHO those shoudl be filed as bugs and be offered mentoring for00:53
* rgreening voluntells ryanakca00:53
seeleis kubuntu participating in the 100 usability papercuts thing?00:53
apacheloggerIMHO that is the primary usecase of mentoring offers on launchpad bugs00:53
yuriyapachelogger: hmm mentoring, even better!00:53
seeleit's getting a lot of press, apparently it was hot discussion on UTEST today00:53
yuriyseele: that's kind of how this has been coming up00:53
Quintasanoh mentoring, that's how I found #kubuntu-devel :D00:54
apacheloggerI pulled quite some good contributions out of mentoring offers in the past, even though it was not advertised at all00:54
yuriyseele: 100 papercuts is a canonical project and they are not looking at KDE, but can we do something similar and what would we get out of it?00:54
yuriynixternal: something for your list then, use the offer mentoring feature more!00:55
apacheloggerand promote it!00:55
seeleyuriy: i thought it was an ubuntu thing00:55
apacheloggeryuriy: KDE is in main, so it is of general interest to canonical as well :P00:55
seeleyuriy: 100 papercuts is too many for us to handle and would probably be more appropriate as a kde thing since it would require development00:55
seelemy only concern is that they take what is seemingly a small usability issue and bandaid it with a stop gap solution without fully investigating and solving the problem00:56
apacheloggerI think we should move papercuts discussion to the mailing list00:56
seelejust because an effect is small doesnt necessarily mean the fix is small00:56
yuriyapachelogger: I asked rickspencer3 about this when the project was discussed at UDS. at least the first round of the project will only be looking at Ubuntu GNOME00:56
yuriyat least insofar as what the canonical usability team will be doing00:57
* apachelogger notes that this would barely get sponsoring from a kubuntu developer, since we are workign pretty closely with KDE00:57
rickspencer3do you guys think t should include Kubuntu?00:57
apacheloggerrickspencer3: most likely, it certainly shouldn't exclude it00:57
rickspencer3I'll be happy to discuss with the design team00:58
apacheloggerKubuntu, being next to Ubuntu adderessing the other big market (namely those people who want KDE) should deserve at least some attention00:58
rickspencer3I just need to know *exactly* how you would envision it working, if possible00:58
apacheloggerthough we know that KDE is near perfection and thus barely will need fixes anyway ;-)00:58
rickspencer3you make a good point00:58
rickspencer3;)00:58
Mamarokhear hear00:58
apacheloggerrickspencer3: I would discuss this at the kubuntu-devel list so we can outline targets etc.00:59
apacheloggerwill poke you once we have reached some sensible vision though :)00:59
Nightroserickspencer3: can you tell us what our options are?00:59
rickspencer3do you envision a separate set of bugs, or some of the paper cuts are Kubuntu bugs?00:59
* apachelogger would go with the latter really01:00
rickspencer3Nightrose: honestly, when it cam up at UDS, I was fried to a crispy brown01:00
apacheloggerfeels more natural for the user anyway01:00
Nightroserickspencer3: *lol* sorry to hear that01:00
seelerickspencer3: how does it work currently with ubuntu? is there a list of 100 bugs that the design team is working on addressing?01:00
rickspencer3so I couldn't really process it then (last session of UDS = very tired track lead) ;)01:00
Nightrosealright01:00
rickspencer3seele: they are in phase 1 right now01:00
rickspencer31. have users nominate bugs01:00
seelerickspencer3: we could come up with n number of bugs and have them count towards the 100, that could be a way of including kubuntu01:00
seeleinstead of having us run our own tally01:00
nixternalbah, sorry was at dinner01:01
rickspencer32. close bugs that are non-trivial to fix, there is no clear fix, etc...01:01
Nightroserickspencer3: anyway I'd also rather se a seperate list - makes it easier to find kde people to help with the bugs01:01
rickspencer33. assign bugs to developers01:01
Nightrose*see01:01
seelehmm.. isnt there a problem with users nominating bugs?01:01
rickspencer34. developers can close if they are non-trivial to fix01:01
seeleusers aren't the best judge on whether something is a usability bug or not01:01
seeleor is this bugs of any type?01:01
rickspencer3seele: well, nominating the bug is just like asking a designer to look at it01:01
rickspencer3they have a rather clear definition of a paper cut01:02
apacheloggeris that public somewhere?01:02
Nightrosejono's blog iirc01:02
seelethere should be a better way of getting info out to the community than jono's blog :P01:02
apacheloggerhow about this: kubuntu maintains its own list and takes care of 1. an d.201:02
nixternalmy thoughts was just to utilize a tag, ie. kubuntu-100, kubuntu-low-hanging-fruit or such, and then we can go through the list daily selecting the ones that are valid and removing the ones that aren't01:02
apacheloggerthen they get moved to the ubuntu paper cuts list01:02
rickspencer3it's not Jono's blog, actually, it's David Seigel (sic?)01:03
Nightroseah ok01:03
seelepersonally i would prefer we integrate with the ubuntu list and get a certain percentage of bugs01:03
rickspencer3I would ask that you review the way they are doing it, and simply suggest how to get hooked in, and I will help with that01:03
seelei dont know if the separation is necessarily good for the community01:03
seelewe should be working more with ubuntu rather than maintaining this separation01:03
apacheloggeraye01:03
Nightroseseele: having a percentage means people moaning that it is too little or too much01:03
Nightrosei fear01:03
rickspencer3seele: I think integration is fine ... I wouldn't necessarily limit the % or go for a certain %, just whatever comes naturally01:03
apacheloggerseele: but if we maintain our own list and only after 1. and 2. pass it along to the ubuntu papercuts we can also take away some of the design teams work01:04
nixternalrickspencer3: when I asked about integration I was told that the team currently handling 100 paper cuts was to small to handle ours as well01:04
seeleif only 3 or 4 bubble up out of all the ubuntu users, that's not necessarily good for us :P01:04
rickspencer3nixternal: I can change that perception01:04
nixternaland was told to start up a similar project if needed01:04
rickspencer3I'm sure we can just talk about it01:04
nixternalrickspencer3: :) get um!01:04
seelewould aurelian be available to work on some of the bugs?01:04
yuriyseele: i see that as 3 or 4 more bugs fixed than otherwise01:04
rickspencer3hmm01:05
apacheloggeryou know, I love rickspencer301:05
seeleyuriy: but in perspective, the bugs will be relatively small. 3-4 out of 100 is not that many01:05
rickspencer3perhaps, but I think you guys would be the developers working on this, and I think seele would probably have to triage the bugs the way david siegel is doing for ubuntu01:05
seeleand not really great participation from kubuntu. i was hoping for a reserved number, like we get 10 bugs out of the 100 poll01:05
rickspencer3I say we go for it01:05
seelerickspencer3: is there a project plan somewhere? like a date we need to select bugs by?01:06
apacheloggerIMHO we really need to discuss this in depth :P01:06
rickspencer3seele: I would support a soft target like that, but wouldn't consider it a limit, or a failure if only 9 come out of it01:06
nixternalI can run it if need be to take some of the stress off of others01:06
nixternalI am just coding now, not so much packaging of late as the ninjas have that covered01:06
seelerickspencer3: sure, but a target is better than saying "whatever bubbles up out of the ubuntu noise"01:06
rickspencer3well, I think you guys will have to drive your community participation01:06
rickspencer3here is what I would ask:01:07
seeleif you look at brainstorm, for a long time kubuntu ideas were a tiny percentage until we started pushing it01:07
rickspencer31. see if you find the documented process01:07
nixternalrickspencer3: ditto, and I am working on a *plan* for that, guide us differently than the past01:07
rickspencer32. suggest a way to integrate with it01:07
rickspencer33. tell me what you want to do and I'll work with you and the design team to make it happen01:07
rickspencer3make sense?01:07
nixternalworks for me01:07
Nightrosejep01:07
seelei dont understand 1.01:07
apachelogger+101:07
rgreeningu rock rickspencer3 :)01:07
rickspencer3seele: david wrote down somewhere what their process is01:08
nixternalright, I know where it is and already planned on building on top of it if we went forward on this01:08
rickspencer3I don't have this at my finger tips, but unfortunately I have someone waiting for call form me right now01:08
rickspencer3rgreening: :)01:08
rickspencer3thanks for the kudos :)01:08
nixternalI have talked to both David and Jorge concerning this as well01:08
seelerickspencer3: well if it is on the canonical wiki where most UX/DX  stuff is we wont ever find it01:08
rgreeningnp01:09
seeleor do you mean the forum post?01:09
rickspencer3if they pushed back, I would just put something together and let me work with them on it01:09
nixternalseele: it is 75/25, the 25 that is on canonical's wiki I understand well enough to document a process for us01:09
nixternalplus I can get feedback from Jorge and David as needed01:09
rickspencer3I guess that they don't understand Kubuntu too well, and they are pretty worried about doing a good job, so we need to help them01:09
rickspencer3later guyses!01:10
rickspencer3I'll stand by01:10
seelehmm.. where is the official 100 papercuts announcement? the forums are complaining that ars is the only resource01:10

seelerickspencer3: hmm.. i only see guidelines for the participants, not administrative stuff01:11
yuriyseele: https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts01:11
apacheloggerJontheEchidna got something else: On a more minor note I think that amarok's splash screen should be re-enabled since Amarok may not have launched by the time the launch feedback (bouncy icon/taskbar entry) may disappear before Amarok is done launching, making me think it crashed. :( Perhaps we should ask upstream's position?01:11
apacheloggerI think that this makes perfectly sense, amarok needs a lot of time to start on both my desktops and my laptop01:12
apacheloggerhaving no visual feedback is kinda bad01:12
Mamarokhm, I am absolutely for that too01:12
* Quintasan notes Amarok is very slow here01:12
seeleyuriy: right, i see that. that's not the info i need01:12
apacheloggerespecially if $user got a slower machine than mine01:12
apacheloggerwhich is very likely :D01:12
Riddellcan't say I'm a fan of splash screens01:13
nixternalditto01:13
Quintasan+1 on this01:13
apacheloggertrue, but in this case it is almost necessary01:13
nixternalI will always be a fan of the bouncy icon!!! :)01:13
apacheloggerAmarok 2 is quite a drag01:13
apacheloggernixternal: on some occasions that might timeout before amarok is actually showing anything01:13
nixternalheh, send a call to keep the icon bouncing :)01:13
apacheloggeras JontheEchidna suggested01:13
apacheloggerso he might have experienced it as well01:14
RiddellI think we should get a new council then take a vote :)01:14
nixternalwhen are we going to get a new council?01:15
apacheloggerlol :lol, you are just deferring :P01:15
seeleafter we vote i guess01:15
Mamarokhm, the SVN build starts very fast on my laptop though01:15
nixternalwell vote you turkeys :)01:15
seelehow long will the poll be up on launchpad, one week?01:15
* nixternal can't vote - no longer on the KC01:15
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: I recommend you move the amarok stuff to the mailing list01:16
javithink about it this way, are you going then to solve this adding a splash to every app that takes a while to load? ktorrent takes it's time here too ...01:16
rickspencer3http://blog.davebsd.com/2009/06/15/calling-all-paper-cutters/01:16
apacheloggerall said from JontheEchidna's and my side... so if there is nothing else01:16
Mamarokjavi: Amarok has a splash screen by default01:17
Mamarokand a nice one too :)01:17
nixternalRiddell: Feedback - I should have a www mockup done tonight followed up by a plasmoid01:18
apacheloggerthat is debatable :P01:18

rickspencer3seele: I am concerned about adding to the design team's stress01:26
rickspencer3I would strongly recommend that I approach them with a well thought out proposal from the Kubuntu side01:27
rickspencer3that make it look easy for them01:27
rickspencer3make sense?01:27
seelekindof hard to come up with a proposal without getting questions answered, but i'll see what i can do01:27
rickspencer3seele: I'll be glad to help with the proposal01:30
rickspencer3and I can probably bring the right people in if we hit road blocks01:30
rickspencer3(tomorrow ;) )01:30
seelerickspencer3: ok.. i'll talk to you tomorrow then :)01:31
seeleeveryone else: did we decide to move the papercuts discussion to mailing list or can we talk about it here for a bit?01:32
nixternalwe can talk about it here...I can help you out there as well if needed01:33
seelei dont think we need everyone's input just to come up with ideas for a plan of action01:33
seelenixternal: are you familiar with what they are trying to do? the details are a little wishy washy01:33
nixternalI say we utilize a *tag* named 'kubuntu-100' or something instead of creating an entire project just for it01:33
nixternalseele: yes01:33
nixternalI have been in talks with David and Jorge about starting it up for us01:33
seelei can understand some of their guidelines for voting on a bug or else they would get all sorts of junk, but it is a little restricting01:33
nixternalI decided to hold back until you were around so we could discuss it further, as it would really be you confirming most of them01:34
seelelike i said, i dont know if starting up a separate parallel project is in our best interest01:34
seeleimo would rather participate in the official project and contribute to the 100 papercuts01:34
Tonio_hey seele :)01:34
Tonio_and nixternal01:34
seeleTonio_: yo! you missed the meeting ;)01:34
nixternalright, and honestly, if you go through the current bugs, I could not find any little annoyances that would qualify for their project01:34
nixternalhiya Tonio_!01:34
Tonio_seele: I know, I had an interview for some job :)01:34
seelenixternal: we could look at kde bugs or we can do a UI review and come up with our own bugs01:34
Tonio_it was late cause the company isn't in france01:35
seelenixternal: i think the issue is how to select bugs, they are using a voting system on existing bugs01:35
Tonio_seele: sorry if I missed something important...01:35
seeleer, doing submissions too01:35
nixternalseele: we could do that, but another thing behind this 100 papercuts project is to get people contributing to easy code fixes01:35
Tonio_but there are priorities at some points :)01:35
seelenixternal: eh, i see it more as a UX initiative than a coder initiative, but i'm biased01:35
nixternalright01:36
yuriyseele: from what I understand they are also doing some of their own testing to come up with these bugs01:36
nixternalthe one thing I do want to do though is a "Kubuntu Low Hanging Fruit" setup and we start utilizing "Offer mentoring" so we can start getting more contributors01:37
seeleyuriy: yes, but they also just have a review list of minor annoyances they have been collecting01:37
seelei think we could do our own independent UI review and review KDE bugs to come up with a list01:37
nixternalhey, I can review controls automation HMIs :p01:39
rickspencer3seele: it is a Ux initiative01:44
rickspencer3except, I reserved some developer time for these01:44
rickspencer3so like, the expectation is that maybe one or two fewer features will be implemented, but lots of paper cuts will be fixed01:45
rickspencer3make sense?01:45
* nixternal thinks they should have been called blisters as they are far more annoying...I have 2, 1 on each thumb, for 130 miles of bike riding this weekend and they are annoying!01:45
nixternal;p01:45
rickspencer3hehe01:45
rickspencer3also, the developer feedback is meant to be lightweight ...01:46
rickspencer3if a developer looks at it and thinks it will involved to fix, they just set it to invalid and say why (making sure to point out that it is invalid for the paper cuts project, not all projects)01:46
rickspencer3all, gotta go and have a life, but ...01:48
rickspencer3I wanted to mention that yesterday I was playing Mario Kart onlne, and one of my oppents was nicknamed sebas01:48
rickspencer3so now I think sebas has a secret life as a Mario Kart racer01:49

Mamarokcould you please, please, please move Amarok to the regular backports? This is not doing us any good :(10:07
freinhardRiddell: did some changes to install-packages to catch some errors. what's the easiest workflow for that? i guess you won't let me push these directly into the lp-repo, so i could send you the patches (odd) or branch it, put the changes there and you merge them back into trunk?10:32

yuriyplan to. I thought Sime was still trying to get it working in python?13:30
nhandlerJontheEchidna: It can be as long or as short as you want. However, please try and leave some time for Q&A. The logs are on the wiki if you want to get an idea for how long they were in the past. Also, are there any prerequisites for your session?13:46
Riddellyuriy: I just packaged the policykit bindings as part of python-kde4 yesterday in karmic13:49
Riddellso worth looking at now13:49
JontheEchidnanhandler: ok, I could probably do a 15 minute session if they knew their way around debian/control13:50
NCommanderis it a known bug that w/ Kubuntu alpha 2 that we show an Ubuntu logo vs Ubuntu13:50
nhandlerJontheEchidna: If the session is only 15 minutes, then I would briefly explain debian/control (but it is not required)13:51
RiddellNCommander: where?13:51
NCommanderRiddell, on the livecd13:51
RiddellNCommander: where on the live CD?13:52
NCommanderusplash, boot menu13:52
NCommanderWTF13:52
JontheEchidnanhandler: yeah, I suppose that'd be a good idea13:52
RiddellNCommander: boot menu has a Kubuntu logo last I looked (yesterday)13:52
NCommanderwow, I'm an idiot13:52
NCommanderI downloaded and burnt the wrong CD13:52
NCommander*fails*13:52
jussi01NCommander: hahaha13:53
NCommanderdoes the alternate CD allow you do to a badblock scan?13:55
NCommander(its been awhile)13:55
Riddellyou can verify the CD from the boot menu13:57
rgreeningRiddell: any ideas on this... http://paste.ubuntu.com/197677/13:58
rgreeninggot that from a crash with python... the drkonqi is the question...13:58
NCommanderRiddell, on my harddrive?13:59
NCommanderRiddell, I was to do a destructive bad blocks scan13:59
Riddelloh don't know about the hard drive14:00
Riddellrgreening: umm, none at all I'm afraid14:01
rgreeningseem like something is broken?14:02
Riddellwell yes, don't know what though14:02
ScottKrgreening: According to p.u.c we don't ship that file.14:02
rgreeningsomething is still built against it .. I guess...14:03
rgreeninghmm... this looks funny... libkdeinit4_/drkonqi.so14:04
rgreeningthe '/'14:04
rgreeningI wonder if there's a typo ... libkdeinit4_drkonqi.so maybe14:05
gkiagiargreening: drkonqi is not a kdeinit executable, it should not attempt to load such a file...14:05
rgreeninggkiagia: any ideas on how to fix?14:05
gkiagiasomething is wrong with that binary14:06
gkiagiatry "file /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi" and also with ldd14:07
gkiagiawhat does it say?14:09
txwikinger_workIs KDE 4.3 out in a stable form?14:09
txwikinger_workI mean for jaunty14:09
jussi01didnt someone mention the other day that drkonqui was missing a dep?14:09
Riddelltxwikinger_work: beta 2 packages are in kubuntu-ppa backports14:10
txwikinger_workkubuntu-ppa backports... Have had that one yet :)14:11
txwikinger_workAre they stable?14:11
txwikinger_workWell.. more stable than my 4.2.2 ;)14:11
Quintasanhmm, anyone can tell me if it's possible to do boot a machine via PXE with desktop iso?14:14

Tonio_Riddell: kk15:07
* JontheEchidna back in a bit15:08
QuintasanRiddell: I have a problem with building Phonon app in karmic, it complains about missing Phonon/Global, in jaunty this file was provided by libphonon-dev but in karmic it links to libqt4-phonon-dev which doesn't contain those files, I should poke upstream or it's a problem with our packages?15:08
RiddellQuintasan: both.  qt doesn't build that Phonon/Global file15:09
Riddellthere's a patch but I havn't found it yet15:09
shtylmanRiddell: unless you know of anyone else I should ping about the packaging?15:09
RiddellQuintasan: you can use  phononnamespace.h instead, it's exactly the same header15:10
RiddellQuintasan: or you can track down the qt patch :)15:10
Riddellshtylman: no, ccheney's the man15:10
shtylmancool15:10

Riddellmaybe I should have run this through pbuilder15:23
QuintasanRiddell: thx, I will poke the upstream then search through the internetz for patch15:23
JontheEchidnaQuintasan: upstream doesn't need poked, its entirely a problem on our end15:27
JontheEchidnaRiddell: thanks15:27
QuintasanJontheEchidna: oh k, I will search for the patch15:28
RiddellJontheEchidna: I disagree, it was a problem on their end15:28
Riddellbut they fixed it15:28
dajomuHello Kubuntu-devs. Who is maintaining KpackageKit? There are too many unnecessary mouse-clicks. Why not put Software management, Software updates and settings in one view?15:28
RiddellI've just lost the patch since15:28
Riddelldajomu: we only package is, the upstream design it15:28
JontheEchidnaRiddell: for  phononnamespace? I thought we patched that in Qt15:29
dajomuRiddell - Ahh15:29
RiddellJontheEchidna: nope15:29
=== rickspencer3-afk is now known as rickspencer3
JontheEchidnaRiddell: there seems to be a patch in qt-copy15:30
Riddelldajomu: Tonio_ is the packager of it, he might know the best way to get involved with upstream if you want to15:30
RiddellJontheEchidna: ah hah, maybe we should steal that15:30
JontheEchidnayeah, there are also a few more patches we may want to pick up along with that15:30
JontheEchidnafrom 280 up I think15:31
dajomuRiddell - Great. Thanks a lot15:31
Riddellhttp://websvn.kde.org/trunk/qt-copy/patches/0281-syncqt-create-phonon-global.diff?revision=967426&view=markup  that's the one15:31
* Riddell adds it to Qt15:32
Tonio_dajomu: at work now, no time to respond, but please ping me toonight :)15:33
Riddellagateau: we want your 0283-do-not-deduce-scrollbar-extent-twice.diff patch in our Qt 4.5?15:35
Quintasanneversfelde: ping15:36
agateauRiddell: yes please15:36
* Quintasan was hoping for some work with Qt but he has encountered a good idea on his thinking process15:37
dajomuTonio_: Ok. Thanks15:37
rgreeningagateau: ping15:40
ScottKTonio_: How are the default netbook setting coming?15:40
agateaurgreening: pong (but @phone)15:41
rgreeningagateau: got a question you may be able to answer... when you have a minte15:41
DaskreeCHrickspencer3: Are you going to GCDS ?15:42
* yuriy wishes make -j was as magical as it seems15:42
rickspencer3DaskreeCH: yes15:42
DaskreeCHSweet :)15:42
rgreeningagateau: If I have a function I need to connect in Qt.. and it takes parameters... how do I get the parameters to it? i.e. QObject.connect(self.timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), self.timeout(parameter_i_need))15:42
JontheEchidna^I've never been able to do that in python15:43
agateaurgreening: you need an intermediate function :/15:43
agateauor you can try lambda15:43
DaskreeCHrickspencer3: Wold you have some extra space in your suitcase for an "unknown" Stowaway ?15:43
agateaurgreening: connect(ob, signal, lambda x: self.myfunc(12))15:44
seaLneis their a criteria for whether packages in debian are imported into *ubuntu? (package thats been in debian for a while but isn't in ubuntu repos)15:44
agateaurgreening: not sure it works15:44
RiddellseaLne: anything that isn't blacklisted15:44
rgreeningagateau: so lambda param=myvalue: self.timeout(param) ?15:44
RiddellseaLne: what's missing?15:44
yuriyagateau: ooh looks neat, what's that do exactly?15:44
agateaurgreening: no sorry15:45
seaLnedvswitch which i'm using for gcds15:45
agateaulambda: self.timeout(param)15:45
rgreeningagateau: but where does param come from then?15:45
rgreeningIm lost :)15:46
JontheEchidnahttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/kcm-gtk <- Fixed the issues15:46
yuriyagateau: where myfunc is something instead of a no argument slot you'd normally use there? clever.15:46
agateaustill @phone bbiab15:46
agateaurgreening: back15:49
agateaurgreening: the idea is that you create a parameter-less lambda15:50
agateauwhich calls the parametered function with the parameter you want15:50
agateauand pass this lambda as connect() slot15:50
rgreeningagateau: does this work in pyqt15:50
agateaurgreening: I think it does15:50
agateauIt did in my PyQt3 days15:51
agateauso your example would be:15:51
seaLneRiddell: ah dvswitch is in karmic not sure why it isn't in jaunty15:51
agateauQObject.connect(self.timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), lambda: self.timeout(parameter_i_need))15:51
agateaubut if you want to avoid black-magic you can just do:15:52
rgreeningagateau: and the parameter is filled in at time of connect, yes?15:52
agateaurgreening: yes, it's inside of the lambda15:52
rgreeningok15:52
rgreeningand avoid back magic?15:52
agateauQObject.connect(self.timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), self.slotTimeout)15:53
agateaudef slotTimeout():15:53
agateau  self.timeout(parameter_i_need)15:53
agateauless fancy15:53
agateaubut this one is sure to work15:53
rgreeningand wont work, cause how do I know the parameter as its a variable15:53
agateauerr "slotTimeout(self):" of course15:53
agateaurgreening: oooh15:53
agateauI thought it was not a variable15:54
rgreeningnope, it's, in this case a QString15:54
agateauand this variable is only known at connect() time?15:54
rgreeningyep15:54
agateauthen try the lambda approach15:55
rgreeningand lambda will bind the variable at time of connect, correct15:56
rgreeningagateau: basically I am attempting to port gobject.tomeout_add calls to pyqt for usb-creator...15:57
rgreeningtimeout_add that is...15:57
NCommanderKubuntu alternates failed to install :-/15:57
agateaurgreening: I see15:57
* rgreening does not like gtk15:57
rgreeningor glibib15:58
NCommander*failed to build15:58
NCommanderand I can't launch the alternate installer15:58
NCommanderARGH15:58
NCommanderso frustating15:58
agateaurgreening: but if i am not mistaken, the data param of timeout_add is still known when the callback is called, am I wrong?15:58
agateauoh... maybe it's a bit different in the case of Python15:58
rgreeningagateau: they are parameters which are variables, yes...15:59
agateaurgreening: but they are not part of an object, or global, that's it?15:59
JontheEchidnaRiddell: were those the only problems you saw?15:59
rgreeningright15:59
RiddellJontheEchidna: yes, looked like a work of perfection otherwise16:01
JontheEchidna^.^16:01
shtylmanRiddell: the kde4 integration will come when we package OO 3.1.1 .. officially it is in about a month or so, but there might be an experimental package before then16:01
Riddella month!  that's years away!16:02
JontheEchidnaRiddell: the stuff installs in a different location than the gtk-qt-engine one, so this could probably go into KDE for 4.416:02
RiddellJontheEchidna: ask on kde-core-devel if there's interest16:03
shtylmanRiddell: yea...I know...I really want to just package it up into my PPA ... :/ but havn't had a response about the library dependencies yet...16:06
Riddellshtylman: presumably we want to send yuriy's icons upstream too?16:10
shtylmanRiddell: indeed...we do want to do that as soon as possible16:10
shtylmanso that we can change which icon package gets used for kde4 integration16:11
Riddellshtylman: fancy doing that since you're already in contact with them?16:11
yuriyi'm not sure if the icons are ok for upstream16:11
shtylmanRiddell: yea...no problem...I will ask them ... I am sure it will be good for the inital release16:11
yuriyfor one thing, it's still woefully incomplete. but also calc said something about sun requiring copyright assignment16:12
RiddellI guess upstream will be go-oo rather than openoffice16:13
Riddelland incomplete is better than not at all16:13
shtylmanyuriy: yea...upstream is go-oo and they are not as mean as sun :)16:13
yuriyshtylman: you've been using the icon set? do you think it looks consistent enough right now to use?16:14
shtylmanyuriy: I havn't really been 'using' it ....so much as it just appears when I test the widgets :) ... I think it looks much better than the current one16:14
shtylmanyuriy: ok...I am talking to them about how to get the images in and I should be able to do that for the current image set you have16:18
Tonio_Riddell: kpackagekit in the archives16:19
Riddellyay16:20
Tonio_Riddell: right now I'll try to make the syncml akonadi resource to work16:20
Tonio_Riddell: so usefull in corp environment16:20
Tonio_and next is the netbook edition...16:21
shtylmanRiddell yuriy: we will need to host the zip package (or actually tar ball should be fine because it gets unpacked during build...of the icon set...preferably called something like images_oxygen_<timestamp>.tar.gz16:23
shtylmanthey can host it on download.go-oo.org if we like16:23
Riddellshtylman: I can put it on people.ubuntu.com but download.go-oo.org might make more sense16:25
shtylmanright16:25
Riddellwhichever they prefer16:26
yuriysomeone suggested using some icons from NeoOffice too because they look more oxygenish. i downloaded neooffice but haven't looked into it yet. think that's a good idea?16:26
Riddellinterestingly OOo_3.1.0_src_core.tar.bz2 contains ooo_crystal_images-1.tar.gz and I'm certain there wouldn't be any copyright assignment for that16:26
Riddellyuriy: best to ask the oxygen arists if it's appropriate16:27
seaLneRiddell: hmm maybe the fact dvswitch won't even build on jaunty would be the reason :(16:33
JontheEchidnaThe new kpackagekit is much better16:34
JontheEchidnasexy animations while updating too16:34
ScottKHow about some actual cryptography?16:57
shtylmanyuriy: does your oxygen icon set contain all teh icons or just the ones you used from oxygen? like...when there was no icon from oxygen what did you use? .. the go-oo people are telling me that you just need to include the oxygen icons and the ones that arn't found in that zip will go to the fallback mechanism16:57
MamarokRiddell: yay, qtscript stuff alreday in jaunty-backports :)16:58
Mamarokalready* even16:58
RiddellMamarok: amarok should be compiling now16:58
Mamarokthx a lot!16:58
* Mamarok and the Rokers are happy16:59
MamarokRiddell: extra drink at Akademy for you :)16:59
Riddellwow, I should mess up the PPAs more often16:59
Mamarok:)17:00
Riddellhttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Meetings/Minutes/2009-06-17  voila17:00
freinhardRiddell: the install-package fixes won't get it into jaunty?17:07
Riddellfreinhard: no, we could do a stable release update but that's only for the most serious bugs and I'm not sure their qualifies17:09
freinhardRiddell: i'd consider a crash worth updating.17:13
Riddellfreinhard: the chap to convince then is pitti, do you want to ask him  if it'll get accepted?17:14
JontheEchidnaHow do I edit patches with simple patchsys?17:14
Riddellemacs!17:15
JontheEchidnajust edit the file raw?17:15
Riddellcdbs-edit-patch should work17:15
JontheEchidnaoh, neat17:16
JontheEchidnaI still <3 quilt17:17
freinhardRiddell: somehow strange that it's that hard to get a crash-fix into a "stable" release.17:20
Riddellfreinhard: yes it's a lot of hassle, but in the past even minor update changes have caused notable breakage because of lack of testing17:21
* Tonio_ hugs JontheEchidna for not liking quilt :)17:22
* Tonio_ hugs cdbs-edit-patch for being nice17:22
JontheEchidnaI do like quilt17:22
JontheEchidnasimple patchsys ain't bad though17:22
* Tonio_ stops huging JontheEchidna17:22
JontheEchidna:P17:23
* shtylman compiling openoffice again...this time with oxygen icon support...hopefully...17:23
Tonio_I don't understand how people can find it normal to have to type in 4 commands to create a patch17:23
Tonio_another 4 commands to edit a patch etc...17:23
Tonio_but well, technically quilt works17:23
Tonio_shtylman: AHHHHHHHH ? oxygen theme ???17:24
ScottKTonio_: quilt - "The Git of patching systems".17:24
shtylmanTonio_: indeed...I am now adding in the code to use yuriy's icons by default in kde417:24
Tonio_ScottK: yep, absolutly true17:24
JontheEchidnaTonio_: I'm preparing an update for kpackagekit to turn back on the update notifier (I've turned update-notifier-kde's off in bzr)17:25
Tonio_shtylman: did yuriy finish the theme ? that fast ?17:25
shtylmanTonio_: he got alot done and migrated...anything that doesn't have an icon will just fall back to crystal17:25
Tonio_JontheEchidna: oki, atm I just wanted to check out if everything worked... please do17:26
shtylmanyuriy: assuming that you remove anything that isn't an oxygen icon from the package as per the suggestion :)17:26
JontheEchidnaunfortunately the "turn off" patch got mixed in with another patch17:26
JontheEchidnaso I had to edit it17:26
Tonio_JontheEchidna: I switched kpackagekit to cdbs patchsys fyi17:26
JontheEchidnaI noticed ;-)17:27
Tonio_JontheEchidna: :)17:27
RiddellTonio_: I'm turning off the zero kwin border delay, people seem to want a delay17:29
Tonio_Riddell: do they ?17:30
RiddellTonio_: seems so, see meeting last night17:30
Tonio_ok17:30
Riddellhow do I even set the kwin border actions now?  the GUI seems to have disappeared17:31
mgraesslinRiddell: it's in desktop -> screen edges17:32
Riddellso it is, thanks17:34
shtylmaninkscape won't open for me anymore... :(17:37
Tonio_Riddell: I just did the way osx did for the borders17:40
Tonio_Riddell: maybe a shorter one than the default then ?17:40
Tonio_Riddell: let's say half...17:41
Riddell150ms isn't really a long time17:42
Tonio_Riddell: well with a touchpad it is, really17:43
Riddellno it's not, it's a fraction of a second!17:43
Riddellquite a small fraction too17:44
Tonio_Riddell: cause the xorg screen is a pain to target17:44
Tonio_Riddell: when you go in there, your cursor will move from one pix17:44
Riddellhow does a touchpad make any difference?  a screen corner is easy to target17:44
Tonio_Riddell: that's why I removed the delay17:44
* apachelogger got himself an android phone \\o/17:44
Tonio_Riddell: synaptic...17:44
Tonio_Riddell: the driver I mean :)17:44
Riddellseems easy to me17:44
Tonio_Riddell: could depend on the touchpad I think :)17:45
Tonio_Riddell: nevermind, remove it, not a big deal, if that's the only complaint about all the things I changed :)17:45
Riddellwho has a tutorial inside them?  https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuTutorialsDay/Prep17:47
Riddellshtylman: inkscape encounters an internal error here17:48
shtylmanRiddell: indeed for me as well :(17:48
Riddellkwwii: could you give an artwork tutorial?17:48
NightroseRiddell: sven423 might be a good victim :D17:49
Nightroseabout amarok scripting17:49
Nightroseleo and takahani are too busy for a plasmoid tutorial :(17:49
shtylmanRiddell: quite upsetting as I need to edit an svg :(17:52
Riddellshtylman: dare I suggest karbon-kde4 ?17:52
shtylmanRiddell: tried it...sucks.. :/17:52
shtylmanRiddell: can't even figure out the size of the image... or change units to pixels...17:52
ScottKSounds like it sucks less than inkscape right at the moment.17:52
shtylmanmaybe I am just retarded...17:52
shtylmanactually...it doesn't even have pixels as a unit...that just...I can't deal with that :)17:53
Riddellfreinhard: pitti didn't reply?17:56
shtylmananyone got any other svg editors they like?17:57
* shtylman open for suggestions...17:57
yuriyshtylman: that'll need to be fixed then. the current thing is tango overwritten with crystal overwritten with oxygen, so there's a mix17:59
Riddellwho's up for doing an introduction to karmic for tutorials day?18:00
shtylmanyuriy: the go-oo guys suggested that you only put the oxygen specific icons that you were able to port in the package, and let the fallback mechanism handle the ones that didn't get ported18:00
* Riddell eyes up rgreening 18:00
freinhardRiddell: he did, pointed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates18:01
shtylmanbasically...packages what you can and any that you don't find an appropriate fit for leave out...don't bring over the old crystal ones18:01
kwwiiRiddell: sure, just not sure exactly what about ;)18:02
Riddellkwwii: I'm thinking you show us a snazzy oxygen icons and go through the steps to create that in inkscape18:03
Riddellkwwii: something simple enough we can all follow along at home18:03
Riddellfreinhard: ok so it'll probably get accepted, do you know how to (and want to) make a debdiff?18:04
rgreeningRiddell: what would that entail... I'm sort of knee deep in porting gobject code to qobject equivalents for usb-creator (and doing miserably)18:05
=== rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3-afk
Riddellrgreening: telling people for up to an hour what's in the specs and other work for karmic, and how they can get involved18:06
Riddellrgreening: currently I have sunday 28th down as the day but that's a date I just picked, could be easily changed18:06
rgreeninghmm... I can possibly do that... got anyone who can help me port some gobject code in the meantime :)18:07

Riddellsmarter: rumours are they want it to remain fresh18:23
smarterokay, makes sense ;)18:23
JontheEchidnaRiddell: it also installs the kded .desktop file18:26
JontheEchidnawhich we weren't installing previously to stop the kpk updater from running18:26
RiddellJontheEchidna: aah, that's the important bit18:27
JontheEchidnayeah, a bit deceiving18:27
RiddellJontheEchidna: uploaded18:27
Riddellrgreening: I think I'm about to go out but e-mail us the details and I can have a look when I get a moment18:28
rgreeningok, I assume oyu mean the kubuntu-devel list18:28
Riddellthat would do18:28
rgreeningkk. maybe I might have a stroke of luck and figure it out.. or maybe just a regular stroke and croak...18:29
rgreening:P18:29
yuriyshtylman: ok I'll try to make that change in the next couple of days18:39
shtylmanyuriy: cool18:46
neversfeldeQuintasan: pong19:12
shtylmanis plasmapkg not installed by default now?19:17
shtylmanor is there an alternative we are supposed to use in 4.3?19:17
JontheEchidnashtylman: it accidentally got removed from the packages, an update for karmic is on the way19:28
shtylmanJontheEchidna: :)19:28
txwikinger_workRiddell: I still have the same plasma bu in the KDE beta19:28
shtylmangot scared there for a bit...cause it breaks installing some plasmoids with get hot new stuff19:28
txwikinger_workeven worse... I can't restart plasma anymore19:31
shtylmantxwikinger_work: kquitapp plasma-desktop ?19:37
* txwikinger_work wonders how to restart plasma in KDE 4.3 beta19:40
Quintasanneversfelde: still there?19:42
neversfeldeQuintasan: yes19:43
Quintasanneversfelde: I think we should make a kubuntu-plasmoids PPA, since we both package em and I hate to discover that someone already did the job and I'm still wasting time to compile it19:45
Quintasanit could also be distributed to users19:45
Quintasanor maybe a new team?19:45
neversfeldea Bug in Launchpad should be enough to avoid double work?19:46
Quintasanneversfelde: do we really need to file a bug to package a new plasmoid?19:47
neversfeldeyes, a new initial release should fix a [neeeds packaging] bug19:47
Quintasanneversfelde: I didn't saw [needs-packaging]plasma-widget-daisy, I've done it and seconds later I find it on REVU19:47
shtylmancan I update twitter status from irc? ... ive heard it is doable..but never tried...19:47
neversfeldeQuintasan: there was such a bug19:47
neversfeldea PPA is imo not good to avoid that two people are working at the same plasma widget, because you upload it after you have done the work19:48
Quintasanneversfelde: my point is that we won't get each plasma-widget to repos, maybe not we won't make it but I think it's not really needed19:49
neversfeldeI think there are enough ppas, users are so confused about it that another one would not be a good solution. Backports of plasma-widgets should go to the backports ppa or the official ones19:51
usrHi! Ubuntu can mount ISO images by default with Nautilu's contextual menu. It wold be possible to implement this feature in Dolphin by default for Kubuntu 9.10?20:00
usrisomount-qt can do this, include in the distro by default, please. http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=10710520:00
usrThanks. :-)20:00
jussi01that doesnt look exactly sane to me.... but I could be wrong... or misinformed...20:03
Quintasanit asks for root password first of all, it need to use kdesudo, then it mounts the iso to cdrom0 and we don't want this (what happens when someone has already mounted a CD?)20:05
Quintasans/need/needs20:05
Quintasanusr: use AcetoneISO for this20:06
Quintasanusr: http://getdeb.net20:06
* Quintasan thinks AcetoneISO should be included in repos20:06
jussi01Quintasan: the second part of your observation was the first thing I saw20:06
Quintasanjussi01: I installed it 3 minutes ago :P20:07
jussi01Quintasan: whats this acetone like?20:07
Quintasanjussi01: it's like daemon tools20:07
jussi01Quintasan: no, I mean is it relatively sane?20:08
Quintasanjussi01: ah20:08
QuintasanI think yes20:08
jussi01have you examined the source at all?20:08
Quintasansource not20:08
Quintasanbut I think I will do it20:08
jussi01Quintasan: that would be nice. Ive seen too many hackish ones, like the one mentioned above...20:09
jussi01Quintasan: be nice if that acetone added in an action in the context menu in dolphin...20:12
Quintasanfirst I will package it, then I will think of something :P20:12
jussi01:D20:13
usrThank you. I know acetoneISO, but I think that this option must be included by default, like Mac OS's finder or GNOME's Nautilus.20:15
usrThak you for all20:15
jussi01usr: yeah, the action, but not that script ;)20:15
usrO.K.20:16

Quintasannvm, trying with cmake.mk20:33
JontheEchidnaSo what's this KPackageKit threading issue? https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Todo/Karmic the spec doesn't say anything about it20:47

QuintasanJontheEchidna: problem with dpkg-genchanges, you used debhelper.mk to solve this issue?21:01
JontheEchidnayeah, I believe it does need debhelper.mk21:02

QuintasanJontheEchidna: fixed22:08
Quintasanneversfelde: this propably means something is wrong with the patch, check the *.rej files22:09
neversfeldemhh, but there is no patch22:10
JontheEchidnaI'd just untar the new tarball manually and copy over the debian dir22:10
