[02:14] <ScottK> Is PrntScrn working for anyone else in KDE 4.3?
[02:15] <shtylman_> ScottK: nope :)
[02:15] <ScottK> shtylman_: Yes, but nothing's working for you, right?  I don't think that counts.
[02:16] <ScottK> Any suggestions on which piece of KDE to file a bug against?
[02:16] <ScottK> I checked and the proper key code is being emitted.

[02:34]  * JontheEchidna is back from vacation
[02:35] <ScottK> JontheEchidna: Welcome back.
[02:36] <ScottK> I'm seriously trying to figure out why we thought arora was a good idea.
[02:38] <neversfelde> it is not a good idea as long you cannot import ssl certs
[02:38] <rgreening> arora -10
[02:39] <neversfelde> there is also no hint for kleopatra without konqueror
[02:39] <ScottK> Well they had a list of stuff to fix, so it may be premature to judge.
[02:39] <ScottK> Quassel improved a lot during the last cycle.
[02:40] <neversfelde> yes, that was excellent upstream/downstream work
[02:41]  * ScottK is seriously thinking about Firefox for netbook.
[02:42] <rgreening> yuk
[02:43] <neversfelde> Firefox 3.5 is incredibly fast and reliable, imo the best browser
[02:44] <ScottK> rgreening: 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.
[02:45] <ScottK> Arora's going to have to get some serious juice to compete.
[02:45] <ScottK> Arora also lacks KDE integration comparably with Firefox, so that's no reason to favor it.
[02:46] <ScottK> On the Karmic netbook today I clicked on a PDF in FIrefox and it knew to use Okular to open it.
[02:48] <neversfelde> I probably use the wrong websites, but konqui never failed and when I am giving support I get no positive feedback for arora
[02:50] <Zorael> Wasn't there a firefox-qt in the works?
[02:52] <firephoto> arora 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] <neversfelde> we are famous for beeing a vanilla KDE distro, but we are willing to not ship the default KDE browser. That is really bad promo.
[02:53] <Zorael> Arora aims to be portable so not sure to what extent it'll ever *get* KDE integration
[02:53] <Zorael> as compared to Rekonq
[02:53] <neversfelde> arora is not a bad browser, but imo not the best choice for Kubuntu
[02:54] <firephoto> rekonq is a bit misleading since it really is just the qt-demo browser like arora with some different kde integration done.

[09:04] <lemma> I got this bug report which doesn't seem to be vanilla kde: https://bugs.kde.org/200142
[09:07] <maco> gnome in ubuntu is heavily patched like that...lemme check konq
[09:07] <maco> yes, that's ubuntu's bug reporter
[09:08] <maco> lemma, ^
[09:08] <lemma> I think it might not be konqueror but some dependency/kdelibs part
[09:08] <maco> well they said it in konq, so i figured id check there ;)
[09:08] <maco> but yes,that's apport, ubuntu's bug reporter. and it says ProblemType: Bug, not Crash, when i run it...
[09:08] <lemma> ah, alright :)

[14:20] <rgreening> the HAL issues will not be fixed/addressed in this release as HAL will be going the way fo the dodo.

[15:11] <nhn> Hi 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] <nhn> is there a known bug in Qt or other packages that would cause this?
[15:12] <nhn> oh, 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.
[15:14] <seele> what is the kubuntu equiv of /usr/local/share/config/? i need to find all the .knsrc files
=== ejat is now known as e-jat
[15:21] <JontheEchidna> well, this is no fun
[15:22] <JontheEchidna> that X crash during the upgrade caused my keyboard and mouse to stop working :/
[15:22] <JontheEchidna> and it turns out that now every other bootable partition I had except the windows recovery partition had is unbootable

[15:35] <seele> thansk
[15:40] <smarter> seele: 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?
[15:41] <seele> hmm
[15:42] <jjesse> i think something would be nice as i've removed my panels and don't remember how to get them back
[15:43] <seele> or being able to add an entire panel and provide a kubuntu default panel
[15:43] <seele> panel themes or something
[15:44] <smarter> someone suggested a way to restore default settings, that could work too
[15:44] <smarter> a "restore default settings" button somewhere
[15:44] <smarter> jjesse: right-click on the desktop --> add panel?
[15:58] <rgreening> restore default settings would be awesome... in addition to the "are you sure you want to remove"
[15:58] <rgreening> also, can't remember, are widgets locked by default? If not, we should pout this in kubuntu default settings
[15:59] <jjesse> there aresome default settings buttons, but they don't restore to the acutal default, they restore what was saved last
[15:59] <rgreening> My father keeps accidentally removing stuff cause widgets were unlocked. I told him to lock them to prevent this :)
[15:59] <jjesse> like in system settings, it restores to the last saved settings, not the default, or initial settings
[16:00] <Dario_Andres> is this reported at launchpad: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199972 ?

[16:01] <taavikko> concerning Dario_Andres:s message, seems that apport tries to use the PID instea of package

[16:43] <maco> i just think its sloooooow
[16:44] <maco> sad that crufty old gecko was rendering sites faster than shiny new webkit
[16:45] <rgreening> maco: and I just tested the .php issue under konqueror. works as expected.

[16:46] <rgreening> our user base will not be able to handle this, assuming arora does not get fixes in time.
[16:47] <rgreening> and no recent updates to arora?

[16:48] <seele> i think it is comma delimited
