shtylman_ScottK: nope :)02:15
ScottKshtylman_: Yes, but nothing's working for you, right?  I don't think that counts.02:15
ScottKAny suggestions on which piece of KDE to file a bug against?02:16
ScottKI checked and the proper key code is being emitted.02:16

jjessehrm trying to install karmic daily in vmware workstation and unable to use mouse also can't get past "detecting file systesM" in the installation phase02:17

* JontheEchidna is back from vacation02:34
ScottKJontheEchidna: Welcome back.02:35
ScottKI'm seriously trying to figure out why we thought arora was a good idea.02:36
neversfeldeit is not a good idea as long you cannot import ssl certs02:38
rgreeningarora -1002:38
neversfeldethere is also no hint for kleopatra without konqueror02:39
ScottKWell they had a list of stuff to fix, so it may be premature to judge.02:39
ScottKQuassel improved a lot during the last cycle.02:39
neversfeldeyes, that was excellent upstream/downstream work02:40
* ScottK is seriously thinking about Firefox for netbook.02:41
rgreeningyuk02:42
neversfeldeFirefox 3.5 is incredibly fast and reliable, imo the best browser02:43
ScottKrgreening: It's the most compatible with web sites, it's fast, it's already supported, and if people only know one FOSS package name, it's Firefox.02:44
ScottKArora's going to have to get some serious juice to compete.02:45
ScottKArora also lacks KDE integration comparably with Firefox, so that's no reason to favor it.02:45
ScottKOn the Karmic netbook today I clicked on a PDF in FIrefox and it knew to use Okular to open it.02:46
neversfeldeI probably use the wrong websites, but konqui never failed and when I am giving support I get no positive feedback for arora02:48
ZoraelWasn't there a firefox-qt in the works?02:50
firephotoarora works good here but you need the latest webkit from the latest released qt for the best experience. just js and cookie quirks is all i notice wrong.02:52
neversfeldewe are famous for beeing a vanilla KDE distro, but we are willing to not ship the default KDE browser. That is really bad promo.02:52
ZoraelArora aims to be portable so not sure to what extent it'll ever *get* KDE integration02:53
Zoraelas compared to Rekonq02:53
neversfeldearora is not a bad browser, but imo not the best choice for Kubuntu02:53
firephotorekonq is a bit misleading since it really is just the qt-demo browser like arora with some different kde integration done.02:54

lemmamorning! does kubuntu patch kde's help menu to make it use the new crash report wizard instead of bugzilla's built-in bug report one?09:04
lemmaI got this bug report which doesn't seem to be vanilla kde: https://bugs.kde.org/20014209:04
macognome in ubuntu is heavily patched like that...lemme check konq09:07
macoyes, that's ubuntu's bug reporter09:07
macolemma, ^09:08
lemmaI think it might not be konqueror but some dependency/kdelibs part09:08
macowell they said it in konq, so i figured id check there ;)09:08
macobut yes,that's apport, ubuntu's bug reporter. and it says ProblemType: Bug, not Crash, when i run it...09:08

macoi cant figure out how to make it forget that. i even tried using a different browser. it seems the box to change it only shows without javascript and the submit button only works with javascript, so i cant figure out how to change things09:10
macogiving me an issue since that change # doesnt exist yet in kdesdk09:10

rgreening:)14:19
rgreeningScottK: there will be HAL bugs reported. We will have to redirect those reports to wait for new devicekit-backend release.14:20
rgreeningthe HAL issues will not be fixed/addressed in this release as HAL will be going the way fo the dodo.14:20

nhnHi guys! I am one of the amarok devs. I just upgraded to Karmic on my laptop. I managed to get Amarok built from svn, but when running it it just hangs with what seems to be some QUniqueApplication foo. ITs really ahrd to debug as everything just dies as soon as it created the app object.15:11
nhnis there a known bug in Qt or other packages that would cause this?15:11
nhnoh, I also had issues with strigi and phonon devel packages not being found even though they were already installed. removing them and reinstalling them fixed that.15:12
seelewhat is the kubuntu equiv of /usr/local/share/config/? i need to find all the .knsrc files15:14

smarterseele: btw, <ScottK> seele: We had a new user send in a very long and rambling feedback to ubuntu-devel yesterday.  The one (I think) actionable point in his mail was he'd accidentally removed his kicker widget from his panel and could not figure out how to get it back short of reinstalling.  smarter has come up with a patch to ask the user to confirm removal of selected widgets from the panel.  Any thoughts from a usability perpsective?15:40
seelehmm15:41
jjessei think something would be nice as i've removed my panels and don't remember how to get them back15:42
seeleor being able to add an entire panel and provide a kubuntu default panel15:43
seelepanel themes or something15:43
smartersomeone suggested a way to restore default settings, that could work too15:44
smartera "restore default settings" button somewhere15:44
smarterjjesse: right-click on the desktop --> add panel?15:44
rgreeningrestore default settings would be awesome... in addition to the "are you sure you want to remove"15:58
rgreeningalso, can't remember, are widgets locked by default? If not, we should pout this in kubuntu default settings15:58
jjessethere aresome default settings buttons, but they don't restore to the acutal default, they restore what was saved last15:59
rgreeningMy father keeps accidentally removing stuff cause widgets were unlocked. I told him to lock them to prevent this :)15:59
jjesselike in system settings, it restores to the last saved settings, not the default, or initial settings15:59

macoi grabbed the debian/ directory from karmic's jockey and then grabbed upstream jockey bzr. put the two together and did a bzr builddeb. dpkg-builddeb is saying that python-distutils-extra (>=2.4) is not satisfied. makes sense since ubuntu has 2.4~ubuntu1 and that ~ sorts it as older than 2.4....however, this leaves me wondering how the heck jockey got built in ubuntu in the first place22:08
