JontheEchidnaMy dad is mad at his computer for suspending on him because the KNotification has such a tiny button and only gives him 10 seconds, which is a problem with a touchpad mouse00:50
JontheEchidna(He uses Fedora, so no patch)00:51
Riddellthere's a thread on kde-core-devel that might be interested in that :)00:51
JontheEchidnaall he did was unplug the power cord. Should powerdevil really be suspending?00:52
neversfeldeRiddell: german is still broken on my desktop00:54
neversfeldeI did not test french and should not do it, because I cannot understand it :)00:55
spstarrerm00:56
spstarrany reason we compile usb into kernel and not module?00:56
spstarrcannot mount usbfs?00:56
spstarr??!00:56
spstarryou have to make usbcore a module to use usbfs I thought00:56
Riddellmodules are slower to load?00:57
Riddell#ubuntu-kernel are more likely to know than us humble desktop types00:57
yuriyhmm no hanging apport-kde here. who still had that?00:57
spstarrnegligible for usbcore i think00:57
spstarrim gonna ask00:57
Riddellneversfelde: ok I'll try german at some point (not tonight though)00:57
neversfeldeRiddell: I am not at home till monday, so I cannot test it there. No problems on this machine so far, I'll keep an eye on other german speaking karmic users00:58
neversfeldewhere is the council vote?01:11
nixternalyuriy: wasn't it rgreening who had the apport-kde issue?01:14
yuriynixternal: maybe. i'll ask when he's around01:14
yuriyblueeyed also had an issue with it not working if apport-kde is not installed, even if apport-gtk is, so gotta look at that01:15
yuriynixternal: and then there's the problem with everything being labeled as kdelibs, did you get to look into that?01:16
nixternalI believe that might be due to the patch in kdelibs for khelpmenu01:19
nixternalbut I am not 100% sure01:19
nixternalwe could try to change it from doing PID to app name in the patch and see if that fixes it01:20
yuriynixternal: this isn't related to that patch, it comes up when using ubuntu-bug with a pid01:20
yuriymy guess is it's an apport problem, it's probably parsing the process name as in ps and gets "kdeinit"01:21
yuriynixternal: i'm looking at the apport_not_drkonqi patch and IIJM or is it forgetting to close the /etc/default/apport file?01:22
* yuriy isn't very familiar with QFile01:22
nixternalhrmm01:24
yuriynixternal: also I put up a patch for bug 415237 a few days ago. i guess that's for -backports now01:30

seeledidnt we change it to 30 seconds?01:36
ScottKJontheEchidna: The controversy over the patch wasn't over the amount of time (IIRC the change to extend it to 30 seconds is already in trunk).01:44
ScottKclaydoh: Link me and I'll work on it in an hour or two.01:44
ScottKseele: We (and upstream) both did.01:45
seeleok that's what i thought01:45
ScottKseele: I played with the dialogue a bit today (ran the laptop out of power, charged for a few mniutes, then ran it down again) and I actually find the dialogue less "HEY PAY ATTENTION" than the notification was.01:48
* ScottK guesses because he sees dialogs all the time and they are never very urgent or suprising.01:49
seeleScottK: expecting it and having it popup over and over sortof desensitizes you during the experiment ;P01:52
seeleScottK: actually i talked to sebas about it the other day, we're going to work out something else01:53
seelehis and aarons issue had to do with the implementation01:53
nixternalholy smokes I am starving...who wants to take me to dinner?02:01
seelei made gnocchi with homemade sauce tonight02:10
seelebut i ates it all02:11
neversfelde3:13 am but I am hungry now02:13
neversfeldethanks seele and nixternal :)02:13
yuriywow dr konqi is getting really nice02:22
yuriywe should borrow some of the UI for apport-kde02:23
* seele coughs02:24
seelei helped with that ;)02:24
yuriyseele: nice :)02:25
nixternalmmm, pb&j ftw!02:27
yuriyooh i think i found a way to reproduce the bookmarks toolbar getting enabled02:29
yuriycan someone try detaching a tab in konqueror and see if the bookmarks bar comes up?02:29
* nixternal tries02:29
nixternalheh, it crashed konqi for me02:30
yuriyoh great02:30
nixternalam I supposed to have the bookmarks bar showing?02:31
yuriyit isn't showing for me, as default02:31
yuriybut when i detach a tab, it shows up in the new window02:32
nixternalhrmm, it might not have for me either, as I am pretty sure I didn't remove it02:32
nixternali can't reproduce it, at least I don't think I can...though I could be doing something wrong02:32
nixternalheh, I just got an email from Facebook of all the people who have invited me since 200502:33
yuriyit's not crashing anymore?02:33
yuriynixternal: oh, doesn't happen in karmic. good i guess.02:34
nixternalanyone know off hand if solid can detect drive activity?02:38
ScottKseele: I'd like to have a resolution on the dialog/notification thing for low power really quickly that gets us off the "Oh, look what they did when we told them not to" list.  Politically, I don't think that can wait.02:51
* nixternal waits for a google wave invitation02:51
* ScottK hands nixternal an invitation to fix some stuff in Kubuntu.02:51
claydohScottK: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KarmicKoala/Beta/Kubuntu02:52
seeleScottK: the resolution is whatever aurelian is told to do by his boss. if he isnt told anything then we shouldnt diverge02:52
seelebecause the upstream solution isnt going to be done by the time we need it02:52
seelewhat is google wave?02:52
* seele feels old and out of syn with the world for not knowing02:52
* nixternal files the invitation in his inbox hoping it gets processed within the next week - GTD!02:53
ScottKseele: I thought upstream already had a patch to jump out to 30 seconds.  That's the main issue, IMO.02:53
seeleScottK: right, but in the notification popup thingy not a dialog02:53
ScottKseele: I think that's fine for Karmic.02:53
seelethe issue with upstream is that they dont like the dialog implementation. they already approved the 30 second thing02:53
ScottKRight now the world knows KDE said no dialogue and Kubuntu went and did it anyway.02:54
ScottKSo I'd like to see us do a 30 second notification for Karmic and then do whatever is "right" for Lucid.02:54
ScottKseele: Is that reasonable?02:54
seeleyes, but that's not up to me02:54
seelei'm not a developer, i dont work on the design team, and i dont have commit rights02:55
ScottKseele: It's up to KC in the end, so it's part of to you.02:55
seelei wish this stuff could get resolved without having to go to council all the time02:55
ScottKI can do the patch, but I don't want to unilateral revert someone else's work.02:55
* ScottK too.02:55
* ScottK thought we had agreed to something other than what happened.02:55
seelesince kde is willing to work together and do it right, but just not right now, then imho we shouldnt diverge from upstream02:55
seelethat means we have the countdown in a notification popup for 30 seconds instead of the dialog02:56
ScottKI don't think the notification can do the countdown.02:56
seeleif i thought upstream wasnt willing to look into the matter more, my opinion would be different02:56
seelebut i am quite confident they are interested in fixing it, but not in time for karmic02:56
seelereally?02:56
seelethat's lame02:56
seelecan we make it persistent so it doenst dissapear right away?02:57
ScottKThat I'm pretty sure we can do.02:57
seelethe non updating countdown is a problem though02:58
seeleif someone doesnt see it right away they dont know how long 30 seconds really is02:58
seele(a plus for the dialog unfortunately..)02:58
ScottKI doubt many people will think "Oh, I can type for another 5 seconds".02:59
seeleis it just the ayatana notifications? people on the core list were talking about the countdown with regard to kde notifications as if it wasnt going to be a problem02:59
ScottKI agree the countdown is better, but I don't think it's critical.02:59
ScottKI may be wrong about that.02:59
seeleit *is* critical. if people think 10 seconds isn't long enough, what value does saying "30 seconds to suspend" provide if you dont know how long that 30 seconds is?02:59
seeleespecially if you put it in a notification popup which people may not look at until they complete their subtask (such as typing a message or clicking through a menu)03:00
seelethat could take 10 seconds in itself then all of a sudden 30 seconds is actually 2003:00
seelebut whatever, the problem will get fixed, just not immediately03:01
seeleas long as it gets fixed, i think minimizing the differences and going back and forth between designs is more important03:01
yuriybuilding kdelibs is always so much fun03:20
ScottKseele:   agateau already submitted an updated patch to have kmail use of MI default to off, so if we get this sorted, I think we are in line with what was agreed for at UDS for Kubuntu/KDE/Aytana interactions.03:21
ScottKclaydoh: It could stand some editing, but there you go.  Something like that.05:22

jussi01hah10:22
apacheloggerRiddell: well, yeah, but, that page targets audience of the final release, doesn't it?10:28
apacheloggerso why exactly does update-notifier not notify about the distribution version update10:28

davmor2Riddell: Morning Dude :)10:35

Riddellthere are 111 people on this channel11:17
apacheloggerjussi01: do they?11:56
apacheloggerdunno if that is much of a good implementatin if they do11:56
apacheloggerquite in-your-face do-the-upgrade-NOW I would think11:56
apacheloggeron a related matter, wasnt kpk supposed to provide update notifications in karmic?11:57
Riddellwhen the new version comes out the meta file on changelogs.u.c is updated and update-notifier-kde will pop up saying an upgrade is available11:57
Riddellkpackagekit does prompt for package updates in karmic11:58
apacheloggerRiddell: I mean tray icon11:58
Riddelloh well, you know upstream and their notification plans11:58
Riddelltray icons shouldn't be there just for notification, that's what the "i" is for11:59
apacheloggerhm11:59
Riddellthe trouble is the "i" isn't at all graphically linked to the notifications so as a user I don't made that connection11:59
apacheloggeroh11:59
* apachelogger just noticed that there are indeed update noticifations :D11:59
Riddellbut assuming you go with the plasma version of notifications then I don't see a need for kpackagekit to have  a systray icon at all12:00
apacheloggerRiddell: you can hide about any progress dialog in kpk, where hide means go to tray12:00
apacheloggerwhich makes sense for larger operations TBH, even though the hidding does not always work as expected12:01
Riddellcurrently it would just be nice if kpackagekit wasn't broken of course12:03
apacheloggervery true12:03
apacheloggerthat said12:08
apacheloggerglatzor: is it me or is pkgenpack broken??12:08
glatzorapachelogger, packagekit service packs are not supported12:09

apachelogger:(12:09
apacheloggerglatzor: is that on some todo?12:10
glatzorapachelogger, no.12:10
* apachelogger would think online service pack creation would be super useful considering kubuntu networking is broken each release :P12:10
apacheloggeranyway12:11
apacheloggerglatzor: I suppose the pkgenpack stuff should be stripped from the packages then?12:11
Riddells/kubuntu/KDE/ while we're going to have tensions with upstream we may as well blame them for their lacking :)12:11
apacheloggerthey will blame us back for not using nm-applet12:12

rgreeninghaha14:49
rgreeningya14:49
rgreeningyuriy: the pandora is a ARM devices. runs linux. Open design open OS14:49
yuriyrgreening: doing what? I tried ubuntu-bug with a PID and clicked send and everything worked, no leftover process14:50
rgreeningI wasn't doing anything special... I just noticed at one point I had about 6 apport-kde processes hanging around my ps list14:51
yuriyrgreening: can you test that then?14:52
JontheEchidna[08:39:21] <JontheEchidna> ha, I have about 7 apport-kde processes hanging around from the last crash eating up 41.2 MB ram in total14:55
JontheEchidnargreening: ^ same issue you think?14:55
rgreeningyuriy: sure14:57
rgreeningyuriy: works if I manually call apport-bug,..14:58
yuriyrgreening: how about for a crash report? (I think you can give apport-bug a .crash file if you have one)14:59
rgreeningyuriy: if I call with crash and cancel the collection, I get a apport-kde hang15:01
rgreeninghah15:01
yuriyrgreening: what if you don't cancel?15:01
orestesI've a question: I'd like to file a bug I've found testing a kubuntu karmic beta ISO, but I'm not sure which package I've to file it against. Someone can help?15:02
rgreeningyuriy: If I let it complete and then close without sending, I get two ned apport-kde processes hung (I killed the previous one so these are new)15:03
rgreenings/ned/new15:03
yuriyoh fun. that's unexpected too, the close button is hacked to work15:03
rgreeningyuriy: if I try a crash file belonging to root (and I have no permission to run) and hit ok, I get apport-bug and apport-kde hang15:04
rgreeningit all seems very apport-buggy15:05
rgreeningyuriy: same effect running /usr/share/apport/apport-kde direct rather than apport-bug.. so the issue is in apport-kde15:07
rgreeningyuriy: I wonder if new qt 4.5.3 update would fix15:08
rgreeningprob not..15:08
yuriyrgreening: not necessarily. all apport-bug does is choose the right frontend, each frontend still uses common code for all backend stuff.15:08
yuriyrgreening: maybe it'll fix the segfault that the hang works around15:09
rgreening4.5.3 is released.. so guess we need to get it packaged asap..15:09
yuriyrgreening: but at least actually reports despite the leftover process?15:12
rgreeningyuriy: it seems to15:15
rgreeningyuriy: I think I fixed it15:19
rgreeninghmm... nope15:20
rgreeningyuriy: I'm almost there with the fixes... 2 so far I believe...15:22
rgreeningyuriy, nixternal: what was the apport-kde hack for the crashing?15:32
yuriyrgreening: there is no main window, so nothing to do for the app.exec() call - most importantly, nothing to exit it. the dialogs exec themselves. so the way I understand it, the program as it is should never exit (but I don't think I understand it correctly, because it should be hanging on submit every time)15:36
yuriyso instead, there are sys.exit(0) calls for the cancel buttons15:36
rgreeninghmm...15:36
yuriyrgreening: but if you don't app.exec() or sys.exit() and let the dialogs take care of themselves, you get a segfault15:36
yuriyrgreening: what were your fixes?15:36
rgreeningfor one... sys.exit(app.exec_()) at end of /usr/share/apport/apport-kde15:37
yuriyrgreening: but I don't see why app.exec_() would ever return, because you never quit() (I think i tried adding that somewhere but it didn't help, I don't remember what the issue was)15:38
rgreeninghmm.15:38
rgreeningyuriy: why can't we call the quit method on the close/cancel?15:39
rgreeningoh.. nm15:41
yuriydon't remember. maybe you can. but the success condition is the bigger issue.15:41
yuriyrgreening: anyways, the way it's set up now is wrong, because all the code is run in the constructor of the MainInterface, then app.exec() is done so it's useless except to make the thing hang15:42
rgreeningyuriy: instead of sys.exit, we could send a triggered signal and in the main, setup a slot that looks for the signal and it would call the app quit.15:43
rgreeningmaybe?15:43
yuriyrgreening: but the cancels and everything are in the separate dialogs which get created, execed, and done with before the app is ever execed15:44
rgreeninghmm15:45
rgreeningthat's wrong15:45
rgreeninglol15:45
yuriyumm yeah. and this is set up roughly the same as the apport-qt version it's based on, except that one segfaults instead of doing the extra exec() and exit()s15:46
yuriyrgreening: have you gotten the segfaults? i've been meaning to test with latest python-qt4 if that still happens15:50
rgreeningno, just hang15:50
yuriyalso with qt 4.5.3 would be good to test15:50
yuriyrgreening: ok, i mean if you change the code back to how apport-qt (see jaunty package) did it15:51
rgreeningdunno15:51
yuriyunfortunately i accidentally overwrote my version where i was getting that15:51
apacheloggerweeeh15:52

rgreeningtested fine here16:13
apacheloggerA string enclosed in double quotes is not split. Within the string, the backslash quotes shell meta characters - if it is followed by a "meaningless" character, the backslash is output verbatim.16:13
apacheloggerI fail to parse that16:13

apacheloggerit just hurts to use a programming language where you cant even do basic changes to a string object without wantint to shoot yourself16:27

yuriyrgreening: that's what i was looking for to fix apport-kde17:07
sebasWhat would onload do?17:07
Riddellobjects have constructors17:07
yuriyrgreening: problem is the MainInterface isn't really used. if we could get it to actually exec() then "on load" it runs the apport code instead of in the constructor, and quits once it's done then it should work more correctly17:08
rgreeningyuriy: I leave it in your capable hands :)17:08
rgreeninghaha17:08
apacheloggeronload?17:09
yuriysebas: well the problem we're having is with a pyqt app that doesn't have a main window. it's done rather.. wrongly.17:10

apacheloggerif you dare creating freaking patches18:34
apacheloggerthen at least QA them and watch out for bugs18:34
apachelogger1 month of silence on a quite in your face bug is unacceptable18:34
apacheloggerperfect example of why I think that patches are evil18:34
JontheEchidnaI don't think that patch is worth having a hardly-used kubuntu feed on the twitter apple by default18:35
apacheloggerquestion is if it caused by the patch though :)18:35

apacheloggerI told you, dont do that, it will make your eyes blury!19:06
Quintasanno more python for me :<19:06

apacheloggerthat is sad indeed :(19:08
apacheloggerQuintasan: delete this; this = NULL;19:09
apacheloggerhm, of all the wicked code I wrote, I never tried that TBH19:09
Quintasangrr, I managed to write this -> http://pastebin.com/f33c9adbf   how should I write it to make the app display the arguments in order I gave them (not backwards)?19:09
* apachelogger blinks19:12
apacheloggerQuintasan: out of interest, why not use a while and nuke stuff out of argv?19:12
JontheEchidnalol @ name19:13
* apachelogger notes that argument parsing should only happen once in an apps live19:13
QuintasanJontheEchidna: :D19:13
apacheloggerI dont find a for loop particularly suited for the use19:13
Quintasanapachelogger: I want this app to display the arguments given to, how else I can do this?19:14
JontheEchidnain porting jockey to pykde, I ended up copying the args, clearing the list, giving that to kde, and then giving the provided args to the jockey backend19:14
apacheloggerQuintasan: markup: while not argv.empty?; output; argv.delete[0];19:16
apacheloggeri.e. iterate over argv until argv becomes empty, in each iteration output the argument at hand and remove it from argv19:16
apacheloggerat the end you have procssed all of argv and have the benefit of empty argv, which is a much more real-life use case :)19:17
Quintasanhurr, more complicated than I though19:18

apacheloggerthat is if you have a connection20:23
nixternalroger that20:23
nixternaloh, I have the connection of all connections20:23
ScottKRiddell: Short version of my understanding of seele's findings is that upstream is not as opposed to a dialogue as the email discussion would appear, but there are some implementation details that they really don't like in the current patch.  Her recommendation was drop the dialog and go with a 30 second notification (agateau already has a patch upstream) and then work on a better solution together for 4.4/Lucid.20:23
apacheloggerwe should have used mumble :P20:23

ryanakcanookie^: Hi, can you send me your countdown images please?22:09
ryanakcaRiddell: "able to fit in the "latest update" banner at the top of kubuntu.org"... Should that integrate with the action items from the KubuntuKarmicWebsite spec (somehow), or will making the KubuntuKarmicWebsite changes live wait until after release?22:11
Riddellhttp://blusrcu.ba/kubuntu.zip22:12
Riddellryanakca: ^^22:14
ryanakcaRiddell: ... and should that go inside #kmasthead? Or in the page body somewhere?22:14
Riddellryanakca: inside the masthead (if possible and if it looks decent)22:14
* ryanakca asks matt for the JS to make it countdown22:15

Riddellk22:25
Riddellryanakca: done22:28
ryanakcaRiddell: thanks22:28
ryanakcaAlso, was there a "Kubuntu 9.10 has arrived!" or an "Almost there!" one? or should I just display the "One day to go" until the end?22:30
Riddellryanakca: just do the one day to go I guess22:31
ryanakcaRiddell: Anyways, http://drupal.ryanak.ca22:38
ryanakcaRiddell: I commented out the action items, I can make them go live a week or so after release I guess.22:38

DaSkreecHMy latest test of karmic is about a month ago23:15
Riddellit started for me when we got the crash-on-logout bug fixed23:18
ScottKIt's mentioned in the release notes for the Beta.23:19

ScottKThen I guess I'm glad I put it there.23:22
DaSkreecH:-)23:24
DaSkreecHYeah we should kinda aim at Human open eyes release notes23:24
ScottKTalk to claydoh about format when he's around.23:25
DaSkreecHI don't mind the Format other than I don't like having the list of mirros first23:25
Riddellmaybe that should go on a separate page23:26
ScottKIt's at the end of the regular Ubuntu release announcement.23:27
ScottKI think at the end or a separate page would be an improvement.23:27
DaSkreecHYes I almost didn't see the notes23:31
DaSkreecHI saw it because I was clicking every link to see if they had a mirror23:31
DaSkreecHalmost none of them are valid currently btw but I guess they are still propogating23:31
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
ScottKFor the final release we make sure the mirrors are in sync before pulling the trigger.23:32
ScottKRiddell: When you have a moment I'd like to chat about having the "warning" screen back in the installer for Netbook so we can use that for the "It's a tech preview, don't judge too harshly" disclaimer.23:34
Riddellwe don't, but we do have a magically updating iframe with the list of mirrors23:34
RiddellScottK: the thought had occured to me, it would need some code in ubiquity but I doubt it's too hard, I expect shtylman can be conjoled into action23:35
ScottKRiddell: Cool.  I think it'll be an important part of upstream being happy with the way we deliver the message for netbook.23:35
Riddellalthough it's late for a new string and it can't be updated with langpacks23:35
ScottKOoops.23:35
ScottKWell I didn't think of it until yesterday.  Sorry.23:36
Riddellyeah it's upstream's fault for changing their plans :)23:36
Riddellshtylman: what say thee?23:36
ScottKTheir suggestion was a watermark on the desktop.  I think this is way better.23:36
Riddellno need to rub users nose in it, they can make an informed choice23:37
ScottKYep.23:38
ScottKI just want to have a solid response to "but users don't read release notes".23:38
ScottKI think  a click through on the installer is a solid answer.23:39
RiddellScottK: looks like shtylman has been idle for a couple of days, we should e-mail him23:48
