Dario_AndresDoes anyone know why they are KDE4.3 packages but ubuntu still provides qt4.5.0 (when qt4.5.2 has fixed a lot of bugs) ?00:19
Dario_Andresat bugs.kde.org we are getting several crash reports about qt4.5.0 related bugs... on (k)ubuntu and KDE4.3.x packages00:21
RiddellDario_Andres: ubuntu doesn't generally do updates to whole new versions.  if there are testable patches for known bugs those can be put in an update00:22
Riddell(kubuntu provides backports of new KDE versions but that's separate)00:22
Dario_Andresmmh.. I see..00:23
Dario_AndresRiddell: and can't this backport repos which provide new KDE version provide this updated Qt packages too ? or it can't be done because it could affect another apps ?00:23
Riddellit could, but compiling and testing Qt is many hours work00:24
=== Riddell changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Kubuntu Translations Love Day | Alpha-3 released | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Todo | We need paperKuts! https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts | Meeting http://doodle.com/ay88g3hw8cumiv2n
Dario_Andresyes, I know ... :-\00:26
Dario_Andreserr..00:26
Dario_Andresdo you know if someone else packages Qt4 out there ? some other ppa ?00:26
a|wenDario_Andres: 4.5.1 is in the experimental ppa ... doesn't look like 4.5.2 is anywhere00:28
Dario_Andresa|wen: ok, thanks! thanks Riddell too :)00:29
a|wencould update that one ... most of the time is compile time, so can do other stuff in the meantime00:31
JontheEchidnawe should just upload 4.5.2 to the 4.3 repo00:32
JontheEchidnahmm, but eventually when we move the packages over to official backports...00:33
JontheEchidnaI think Qt 4.5.2 would be ready for jaunty-backports. There aren't any know regressions and it does have a lot of bugfixes00:34
JontheEchidnaI could do the work if this is generally agreed upon00:35
a|wenJontheEchidna: agreed ... but testing it out in the PPA would be a good idea then00:35
a|wenJontheEchidna: add it to the meeting agenda?00:35
JontheEchidnaI most probably won't be able to attend00:35
RiddellJontheEchidna: but you can't take the karmic packaging, that has the phonon changes00:36
JontheEchidnaRiddell: Qt 4.5.1 is in kubuntu-experimental. It'd probably just require a tarball change, and maybe sync the qtcopy patches00:37
JontheEchidnabut all the backport work is done00:38
Dario_Andresa little sidenote before leaving00:40
Dario_Andresqt-copy on svn is not being updated anymore00:40
Dario_AndresKDE is now using kde-qt.git on gitorius00:40
Dario_Andresso may be you need to change the way of fetching the qt-copy patches.. (may be it is documented somewhere)00:40
JontheEchidnaoh, that's good to know. I hadn't heard about that00:41

Riddellevening mcasadevall00:58
Riddell:(00:58
mcasadevallRiddell: have you come to Ireland yet?00:58
Riddellmcasadevall: no, not until late tomorrow00:58
mcasadevallRiddell: can you burn a Kubuntu/amd64 alternate CD, and bring it with you?00:58
mcasadevallso I can reinstall?00:58
* mcasadevall has an Kubuntu/i386 liveCD which I'm running off of right now00:58
mcasadevallIts forunate I brought spare SATA HDD drives, and a spare laptop just incase this sorta thing might happen00:59
Riddellmcasadevall: karmic alpha 3?00:59
mcasadevallRiddell: jaunty is perferable actually01:00
mcasadevall(I have a jaunty 9.04 server cd I could use though ..)01:00
* mcasadevall thinks01:00
shtylmanRiddell: interesting...01:01
shtylmanrather unfortunate...01:01
mcasadevallNeedless to say, I'm pissed01:01
a|wenJontheEchidna: one huge qt-copy patch? looks like that is the easiest way to do it without it taking hours to get them01:02
JontheEchidnaeh, it's only missing a few. shouldn't be too hard to even just copy them over from karmic's packagde01:03
Riddellshtylman: you can use pyqt fine01:04
a|wenJontheEchidna: oh, true ... but in the future it looks to be the only way01:05
JontheEchidnayeah :(01:06
shtylmanRiddell: well...yes... indeed I can... but when using kde specific things i need pyKDE :)01:09

shtylmanwhat gives?? :)02:14
=== PingJocky_ is now known as PingJocky
seeleScottK: ping02:37
JontheEchidnashtylman: QVariant needs a pixmap or something returned, KIcon("printer").pixmap(64,64) works02:39
JontheEchidnaKIconLoader would probably be better, so you don't have to hardcode the pixmap size02:39
JontheEchidnaoh, nevermind02:40
JontheEchidnayeah, might have to use KIconLoader, un-nevermind02:40
JontheEchidna:P02:41
shtylmanJontheEchidna: really? I looked at other sample code from SystemSettings and it puts a KIcon right into QVariant...02:43
JontheEchidnajust my guess actually02:43
shtylmanbut indeed... the .pixmap(64,64) worked02:43
shtylmanthanks :)02:43
JontheEchidnayw02:44
* JontheEchidna wonders how hard it would be to use a K class in a Qt project using the qmake build system02:44
shtylmanwhy would would someone do such a thing!?02:45
shtylmancmake is just...so ... wonderful...02:45
JontheEchidnagiving icons to arora was the plan02:45
JontheEchidnait's just so... bare02:45
shtylmanI think it would be easier to convert them to cmake...02:45
shtylmanheh02:46
* shtylman wonders why qt doesn't just adopt cmake...02:46
JontheEchidnadunno, cmake seems a natural fit to me02:46
JontheEchidnamaybe it has something to do with their translation setup02:47
shtylmanindeed02:47
shtylmanwell02:47
shtylmanI mean...they could add the cmake support02:47
shtylmanI can't imagine it would be that bad02:47

JontheEchidnathe standard icons that Qt has to choose from is somewhat... lacking: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qstyle.html#StandardPixmap-enum03:01

JontheEchidnahttp://mintyferret.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/lolcat7.gif03:09
shtylman... thank you03:09
JontheEchidnaok, I'm done03:10
shtylmanheh03:11
JontheEchidnathe good news is that I have found a way to get more icons in the menus that I'll be able to submit to arora (since it follows the pattern that they are using for the toolbar buttons)03:15
JontheEchidnanow I'll compile and hope that I see oxygen icons03:15
JontheEchidnathe bad news is that we're still limited in what icons we can use :(03:16
shtylman:/ ... well...some is better than nothing...03:20
shtylmanI cannot for the life of me figure out how to store and retrieve my own data in each model index03:28

shtylmanthat should totally work!! right??03:32
JontheEchidnaI've never even attempted model/view :(03:33
shtylmanoh...03:33
JontheEchidnaI've not had a need yet, plus it looks scary03:33
shtylmandude...its scary stuff03:33
shtylmana web of doom if you will03:33
shtylmanit is scary...03:33
shtylmanthe problem is that is is very very generic03:34
shtylmanand thus you have to basically build from the lowest level up and that can get tricky03:34
shtylmanI have done it in c++ ... but I have no idea why this python stuff doesn't work ...03:34
shtylmanwho know.. :/03:34
JontheEchidnaoh what I would give to get KIcon working in arora...04:39
JontheEchidnait'd probably be easier to just port it to kde04:39
JontheEchidnalooks like rekonq is planning another release in two weeks04:43
rgreeninghmm.. flash doesn't seem to be working with youtube anymore under kubuntu (konq or arora)06:26

apacheloggera|wen: doesn't work12:37
apacheloggerfor some reason it fails to find the tar12:37

* apachelogger is wondering why launchpad can't resize pics to fit the mugshot requirements12:38
apacheloggerI mean, that is pretty simple graphics editing, even with python one should be able to do this in like 3 lines of code :P12:39
a|wenapachelogger: do they have tar.gz files? ... i can only find zip source archives from upstream12:46
a|wenapachelogger: found it ... http://sf.net/kontrolpack/KontrolPack-(.+)_Linux-2\.6\.tar\.gz ?12:49
apacheloggera|wen: more likely it is a prebuilt binary12:51
apacheloggerhttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/kontrolpack/KontrolPack-2.0.2.tar.gz12:51
apacheloggerthat is the URL I got12:51
apacheloggerbut as mentioned uscan fails to find that12:51
apacheloggermaybe it is hidden or something12:51
a|wenapachelogger: it is located in a subfolder, thats why it fails ... http://sf.net/kontrolpack/kontrolpack_src/KontrolPack-(.+)-src/KontrolPack-(.+)\.tar\.gz13:10
a|wenapachelogger: apart from the watch-file it looks good ... lintian wants a man-page; but dunno how much point there is in that, binary doesn't even accept "--help"13:23
JontheEchidnaa|wen: The Qt 4.5.1 regression we had with KDE 4.2 was that RSSNow was totally busted. Should be fixed in KDE 4.313:36
JontheEchidnawhich is why if that's still an issue, we should only push 4.5.2 to jaunty-backports right before we upload 4.3 to jaunty-backports13:37
apacheloggera|wen: no manpage :P13:39
apacheloggerwill add watchfile though13:39
a|wenJontheEchidna: how busted?13:41
a|wenor busted how?13:41

* apachelogger thinks that kontrolpacks desktop file is kinda flawed13:46
apacheloggerfunctionallitywise13:46
a|wenapachelogger: are you sure you install the desktop file?13:47
apacheloggernope13:47
apacheloggermy todo sez I don't because it is flawed13:48
apacheloggerI'll use su-to-root for the time being and get upstream to provide one file for kde and one for gnome13:48
apacheloggeror get su-to-root out of the menu package13:48
apacheloggerthat is really a PITA13:48
a|wenpatch it to something that at least works...13:50
apacheloggerwell, I need to patch for su-to-root anyway13:51
apacheloggerbut since the package ought to provide desktop files for both kdesu and gksu I'd also need to do build magic in order to divert a gnome desktop file from the main one13:51
a|wenwe surely needs a common interface for that13:52
apacheloggersu-to-root would be that13:52
apacheloggerAFAIK it can use about any rootingtool out there13:53
apacheloggerthat includes both those for CLI and GUI13:53
a|wenbut does it currently work?13:53
apacheloggeraye13:53
apacheloggersu-to-root -X -c systemsettings13:54
a|wenthen i'd use that one13:54
apacheloggera|wen: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/kontrolpack13:54
apacheloggerwell, it is in menu13:55
a|wenhmm... network plasmoid seems kinda broken in karmic :/13:55

apacheloggera|wen: yeah, but is it a problem :P15:08
a|wenisn't it an easy fix :P15:09

apacheloggerdh_install can't do that15:09
apacheloggerI'd rather have upstream fix that in the tarball as a whole, since every file in the tar is +x :P15:09
apacheloggerhe didn't fix that complaint in his last retaring15:09
a|weni agree on getting upstream to fix it!15:10

a|wenapachelogger: dh_fixperms removes +x from .desktop files and README (and some other categories)16:12
apacheloggerwhy not images?16:13
a|wengood question ... it only fixes permissions on files in some pre-defined locations where it can be sure of the state it seems16:14
apacheloggera image filer never needs to be executable16:14
