glatzorhello Riddell and Tonio_. What is the state of the kde support of policykit-1? the latest 0.5 series of packagekit depends on it.13:08
glatzorin the 0.5 series it is possible to request confirmation for installing not trusted packages13:09
ScottKThis is important then.13:09
NCommanderso ... we have ia64 Kubuntu Live and alternate CDs13:09
NCommanderbahahahahah ;-)13:10
ScottKNCommander: Now get debug stuff on armel working .....13:10
NCommanderScottK, I hope to soon (the ia64 stuff been fixed for awhile, it just landed recently though)13:10
ScottKI see.  Well that's cool.13:11
NCommanderScottK, yeah. I'll be at debconf so hopefully I can talk w/ the pkg-kde guys in person on this13:11
ScottKNCommander: Debug building on armel is a problem in Debian too?13:15
NCommanderScottK, no idea, but they're having their fair share of armel issues last I checked13:15
Lureseele: congrats on award - great to see usability gets positive feedback and it was hard to not see the energy you add into various KDE projects13:17
rgreeningRiddell: are results of council voting published or are we waiting for next meeting?13:26
macowhat's this guy talking about with ham & spam icons in kontact? i see options for adding "not spam" (green checkmark) and "spam" (recycling bin) buttons to toolbar, but that's it http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6789/1/14:39
rgreeningkwwii_: ping... got an icon 4 me :P14:47
Luremaco: I think this was some plugin in kde3 - I think kubuntu had it configured even by default15:00
macoLure, he's using kde4 though15:02
neversfeldeprobably the bogofilter plugin15:03
Luremaco: I think Tonio_ was configuring this, so he might know the name (it is not spamassassin, but something else...)15:03
Lureneversfelde: correct, that is it15:04
neversfeldeare there known plasma problems in karmic? I can't use the folderview widget.15:06
macoi have bogofilter setup in kmail though...and the icons i get are a green checkmark and a recycling bin, not ham and spam15:11
claydohmaco: the green checkmark is the 'ham' and the 'spam' button looks too much like the trash icon, it haqs a green recyle design on it, while the trash is mostly silver15:19
macoclaydoh, i assumed that, but i'm wondering why the person in the article claims that kontact uses icons of ham and of spam15:19
macohe says normal folks wont know that a picture of ham means wanted mail and that a pic of spam means unwanted mail15:20
macobut those icons dont appear to be anywhere in it15:20
claydohbecause the text lables are spam and ham I would think15:20
claydohwhich iirc aren't text labels supposed to be on by default for us?15:21
claydohmaco: could i get a link to the article? I arrived too late as usual15:21
macoah ok didnt see that youd just joined15:22
macohttp://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6789/1/15:22
claydohmaco: thnks :)15:22
macoi disagree on the "email" section.... kmail can sort with newest thread on top and newest method within thread at bottom. evolution cannot and confuses the heck out of me for it. also, evo doesnt do dimap.15:23
macoi dont understand how he claims that evolution has better sorting15:23
claydohI haven't looked at evolution in quite some time15:24
macounless it had a massive overhaul in the last 6 months....15:27
claydohbut all the comments on the article's original location are pro Kontact more or less :)15:31
claydohI think the last time i actually tried out evolution for more than a day was back in the KDE 2.2 timeframe :)15:31
macoclaydoh, yeah, i know his conclusion is yay-kontact, but i'm just confused by the ham/spam thing and think he didnt look around kmail enough15:42
asachow can i checkout http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/networkmanager/ ?16:02
asace.g. what would be the url to use with svn?16:03
rgreeningasac: 1 sec... I'll get it...16:07
rgreeningasac: try this... svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/networkmanager/16:08
rgreeningasac: or this if you are behind a fw which has restricted ports...: svn co svn://websvn.kde.org:443/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/networkmanager/16:09
rgreeningRiddell: did shtylman get update-notifier-kde updated? We need to push this as the icons are still broken in current published version.16:13
asacthx16:13
rgreeningasac: np :)16:13
macowait that reminds me16:21
macoasac, that bug that was in the release notes for jaunty where wpa2 didnt work with kde's network manager ....is that fixed?16:21
maco(i'm still using /etc/network/interfaces)16:21
asacany clue where knmdbus might be hidden?16:38
asace.g. the sources?16:38
asacmaco: well. thats the point16:38
asacseems its not16:39
asacwell. even regressed16:39
asacsomeone is reporting that plasma worked in jaunty, but now not anymore16:39
macoasac, lovely :(16:39
asacTonio__: could you check whether latest svn for plasma network manager works?16:39
asacTonio__: i cant seem to find knmdbus16:39
macoplasma works in karmic for wired internet, but that's all i got16:40
macooh hey while you're here16:40
macois it intentional that when i comment out my wlan0 stanza in /etc/network/interfaces, i have to reboot to get NM to pick it up again?16:40
macoi thought restarting NM should be sufficient for it to start managing the device again, but it seems not16:41
asacmaco: yes. you can also sudo killall nm-system-settings16:41
asacmaco: in 0.8 this will move into main daemon again so NM restart will reload it16:41
macoah, alright. thanks16:41
asacso knmdbus is in networkmanager tree itself16:41
asacnow wonder how to teach cmake to add proper -L for the link command that couldnt find it ;)16:42
seeleLure: thanks16:43
Ramblurris the firefox-3.5 package supposed to pull in gnome packages?16:46
macomaybe firefox's gtk theming stuff?16:46
cbrwhy is firefox 3.5 still named Shiretoko?16:50
macoi think we still have the beta16:51
macoummm....or not. help -> about doesnt say beta16:52
cbryup, it's final imo16:54
Riddellrgreening: he made the change in a branch17:11
Riddellrgreening: the council vote is on the ~kubuntu-members page on launchpad, I guess I should announce it17:11
rgreeningheh17:12
rgreeningRiddell: want to publish the update-notifier change too17:12
Riddellglatzor: there's libpolkit-qt0 will that be policykit-1?17:12
rgreeningRiddell: was 3 positions, correct?17:18
glatzorRiddell, I don't think so. I talked with dantti and he hasn't yet worked on the kde library17:19
Riddellrgreening: yes17:19
rgreeningwhee...17:19
glatzorRiddell, but I was confused by the poilicykit-kde version number, which is 0.9.217:19

macogran canaria, you mean17:59
maco?17:59
Riddellyes18:00
Riddellwhy is the Kubuntu community so cool?18:00
asacanyone can help me geting this one built: https://edge.launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/ppa/+files/plasma-widget-network-manager_0.0+svn992686~asac-0ubuntu1~nm1.dsc18:09
asaci managed to build it using cmake and build, but the package fails apparently because it doesnt build the knmdbus lib18:09
Riddellasac: you took a new svn snapshot?18:10
asacyeah18:10
asacthere is no get-orig-source or something18:10
asacRiddell: i added ~asac to the upstream version18:11
asacin case the tarball was done wrong ;)18:11
asaci just tarred the dir  up18:11
Riddelllet me try building18:13
asacRiddell: the knmdbus lib gets build from lib/dbus18:14
asacbut in the package the make file seems to be not produced for that dir18:14
Riddellasac: there's nothing in libs/dbus18:15
Riddellexcept the CMakeLists.txt file18:15
Riddellhttp://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/networkmanager/libs/dbus/?view=log  "Move the classes for monitoring NMSystemSettings' connections to the new18:17
Riddellbackend."18:17
RiddellI wonder where that is then18:17
asacwow18:18
asacwhat did i do ;)18:18
asacRiddell: most likely backends/dbus18:21
asacerr backends/NetworkManager18:21
asactoo bad. so the build is broken18:21
asaci wonder why it built here18:22
Riddelldo you have knmdbus from a previous plasma-widget-network-manager version maybe?18:23
Riddellasac: is there a reason for needing a new version?18:24
asacRiddell: yes. wpa is broken18:24
asaci wanted to give that some users to test it18:24
asacalso i hoped to understand how the plasma nm can be build/packaged18:24
asacso i can keep my eyes on it a bit more in future18:24
asacNM changed how they handle passphrases a bit18:25
asacin latest 0.7.118:25
Riddellasac: I can ask the author tomorrow when I see him what the status is with that18:26
asacok thanks. tell him that it would be great to have a tree that builds ;)18:27
asacjk18:27
asaclet me know18:27

ubottuLaunchpad bug 396309 in rekonq "Use Rekonq in place of Arora as Kubuntu default web browser. [wishlist]" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/39630922:14
hsitteralso arora on jaunty does not do german, so unless it got a lot of translation recently, I think that is the ultimate reason for not using it as web browser22:15
hsittersince it is kind of a shot in the back of our head22:15
DaskreeCHgoes against the main principle of Ubuntu?22:15
hsitterfirst we fight and moarn about how launchpad makes our l10n fall apart and then we introduce a default web browser that is not even translated into the most essential languages22:16
hsitter+ got no launchpad integration due to Qt-onlyness22:16
hsitterthat really needs to be evaluated22:17
hsitterbut now I gotta go to bed :)22:17

DaskreeCHnini22:17
* DaskreeCH is switching from arora to Konqui as default in his Koala install as it simply doesn't work with his websites22:18
Monika|Kit doesn't really matter what the default browser on Kubuntu is, first thing people do is install Firefox anyway22:20
DaskreeCHMonika|K: in that case it does matter what the default is eh?22:20
Monika|Khm? why?22:21
DaskreeCHif of all our packages one instantly provokes a replace this reaction then the default needs to be looked at22:22
Monika|Kyeah, a really good default browser in KDE would be nice22:23
Monika|Kbut what can be as good as Firefox anyway ... import the profile that was used on Windows already ... all the extensions ...22:24
DaskreeCHWell that's a problem that we have to attack :) But it still means that our default matters22:25
