shtylmanRiddell: how come so few kubuntu devs this time around?00:15
Riddellshtylman: at UDS? 5 is what we normally get00:16
shtylmanreally?00:16
shtylmanseemed like we had more last time...00:16
shtylmanmaybe not00:16
Riddellwell there's me and agateau too00:17
yuriyshtylman: lmao @ link00:17
shtylmangotcha00:18
shtylmanyuriy: im thinking about buying it ... to have instead of 'man ping' ;p00:19

JontheEchidnaUI's done: http://imagebin.ca/view/wXRLd4f.html , http://imagebin.ca/view/OALol1x.html00:20
JontheEchidnaJust need to support the displayIf and DontDisplayAfterReboot fields, then get the commands working00:21
yuriyJontheEchidna: are you keeping that notification you linked to before? seems needlessly vague00:22
JontheEchidnayuriy: yeah, click "details" and then that dialog pops up00:22
JontheEchidnaif there's only one hook it's a plain ol' kdialog00:22
Riddellneversfelde: don't suppose you've packaged the koffice beta?00:23
yuriyI don't see why anyone would be compelled to click on that notification to get the dialog00:23
JontheEchidnawhy would anyone click the systray icon we had before to get a dialog? :P00:23
JontheEchidnaI could try to do it with a notification rather than the kdialog00:24
JontheEchidnabut there's the issue of multiple hooks00:24
JontheEchidnabut then I suppose I could just fire multiple notifications at once00:24
* JontheEchidna thinks out loud00:24
JontheEchidnaStill under 500 lines of code :)00:27
JontheEchidnaoh jeez, my 7 year old sister is complaining about getting asked the key every time she logs in for GNOME's NM applet00:28
yuriywell, that is annoying :P00:36
JontheEchidnayeah, even 7 year olds agree00:38
JontheEchidnaNetworkMangler sucks :P00:38
JontheEchidnaWith our kubuntu laptop running 8.10 all she has to do is click the network from knetworkmanager00:39
JontheEchidnabut she has trouble remembering the key00:39
JontheEchidnabut the kubuntu laptop's screen is broken00:39
txwikingerwow.. upgrade to karmic download takes 10 hours00:42

JontheEchidnamore free than the sesame2 backend and faster than the redland backend01:41
shtylmancool01:42
shtylmanis it faster than the sesame2 backend?01:42
JontheEchidnabeing slow wasn't one if sesame2's problems, so dunno01:43

Tonio_JontheEchidna: technically the qt patch changes what needs change...09:28
Tonio_JontheEchidna: as soon as the drag icon starts, it segfaults, which means I touched what needs to be touched :)09:29
Tonio_also qt builds, which is good09:29
Tonio_there is just a little thing to fix I guess, I'll try to read the backtrace09:29
Tonio_JontheEchidna: maybe kde components just need rebuid since I changed .h files...09:30
Tonio_JontheEchidna: I can't get qt apps to crash09:30
Tonio_JontheEchidna: they certainly need rebuild...09:32
Tonio_JontheEchidna: I'll put everything in my ppa and we'll see :)09:32

JontheEchidnadigikam is sorta hefty for a by-default application15:11
JontheEchidnathe marble dependency is huge15:11
RiddellJontheEchidna: where is it by default?15:12
JontheEchidnaRiddell: it's not, this is in refernce to the comment in nixternal's blog15:12
Riddellwe did have it on the CD once but it's too big as you say15:12
JontheEchidnaAs for 4. in the comment nixternal linked to, the lancelot developer has expressed his wishes that lancelot not be made default, plus it's sorta RAM-hungry for a default menu15:13
rgreeningLancelot os slower then the KDE default menu in my tests (visual). And quite chunky. I have no issue with the current menu. No slowness.15:14
JontheEchidna6. KMenuEdit sucks, it was mostly just ported to KDE4 w/ KDE3 support15:14
rgreeningWe could do a Blueprint for Lucid for KMenuEditor update and push upstream...15:15
rgreeningshould be easy enough...15:15
JontheEchidnaWe don't really have enough manpower to properly mainttain all the applications we currently maintain15:15
Riddellright15:15
JontheEchidnaI really can't see us taking on very many more15:16
Riddella menu editor seems to be surprisingly hard to do, KDE and Gnome have both struggled15:16
rgreeningTHe idea would be push upstream.. make kmenuedit not suck :)15:17
rgreeningthey are only .desktop files....15:17
rgreeningand a couple of xml files15:17
JontheEchidnaeasy enough to list, but allowing the user to modify every last detail of the menu makes things surprisingly more complicated15:18
JontheEchidnathings can get out of sync when new apps get installed15:18
JontheEchidnastale entries stay after apps are removed15:18
JontheEchidnahard to do properly, to say the least15:18
rgreeningtrue.. the same issues had plagued windows too... last I used it. so it would be no different :)15:19

steveireDoes anyone know what version of the Akonadi server will be distributed with karmic?15:25
steveireSeems that PasteHelper::paste has some bugs.15:28
steveireoops.15:28
steveireI don't get any sound when playing sounds in karmic. AFAICS nothing is muted. Are there known sound problems in it?15:30
Riddellsteveire: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/akonadi says 1.2.1-0ubuntu115:35
Riddellsteveire: sound is working good here, the usual practice is to remove pulseaudio15:36
steveireAptitude tells me it's not installed already. I guess it's not installed by default?15:37
Riddellno, only by gnome stuff should you install that later15:38
Riddellwe probably have a page on how to debug sound issues, dtchen is likely to know15:38
steveireI notice that's not the latests Akonadi. I made a change in trunk recently that I'd like to see in karmic. Will that version be updated if we make a new release? I'm not sure how distros handle the kdesupport stuff.15:40
Riddellsteveire: we take our version from http://download.akonadi-project.org/15:41
Riddellsteveire: if you have a patch we can add that easily enough15:41
steveireIt will be in the next tagged/released version anyway I guess.15:42
Riddellsteveire: a new version would work too but it would have to be strictly bugfixes only as we're in deep feature freeze15:42
Riddellsteveire: but it would have to be toot sweet, we release in three weeks15:42
JontheEchidnafinal freeze is in about a week too15:43

steveireIt makes the closing brace of a literal be followed by CRLF instead of just LF15:44
Riddella patch so simple even I can understand it :)15:45
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
steveireThe code in kdepimlibs/akonadi already handles both cases, but a stricter imap parser requires that it is CRLF15:45
Riddellthere was me worried it would need some kdepim genius to read it15:45
JontheEchidna"the kdepim runes say..."15:45
steveireWell the patch is so simple it's dangerous. Don't underestimate the simple ones.15:46
steveireAre there patches in kubuntu for kdepimlibs/akonadi?15:46
JontheEchidnaiirc those are pretty pristine15:46

markeyW: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_chromium-daily_ppa_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-amd64_Packages)17:14
markeycan I remove the Chromium PPA now?17:14
tsimpsonmarkey: it means that you have that repository repeated somewhere in your sources17:16
RiddellScottK: http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/kubuntu-netbook-intro.txt17:16
markeytsimpson: sure, but I've checked, it's not repeated17:24
markeyit's why I'm wondering :)17:24
Riddellmarkey: not hidden in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is it?17:24
tsimpsoncheck in /etc/apt/sources.list and in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/17:24
markeyah, ok17:25
markeyindeed17:25
markeychromium-daily-ppa-karmic.list17:25
markeywhere does this come from?17:25
tsimpsonit may come from a package/script if not from you17:25
markeyok17:26
markeyso I can remove the other custom PPA for Chromium I guess17:26
tsimpsonyeah17:26
markeythanks17:26
markeyis there any chance that ubuntu might one day a technique for hot-swapping kernels?17:27
markeythe reboots are my greatest issue with kubuntu currently17:27
markeythere's KSplice for hotswapping17:27
markeyone day use*17:27
markeyyou basically have to reboot every day when using a pre-release17:28
markeyyou could argue, "but it's a pre-release!"17:28
markeybut more and more people are doing this17:29
Riddellyou can ignore the reboot notification?17:29
markeythey make my feel like I'm being naughty :)17:29
markeylike I'm ignoring something important17:29
RiddellI'll turn it into a noticiation one day which you can click "yay or nay" on17:30
* Riddell patches kdelibs for dfaure again17:30
tsimpsonI have heard of ways for hot-swapping a kernel, but I'm not sure how well tested/robust it is and what any consequences are (if any)17:31
markeynot sure about the robustness17:31
JontheEchidnaspeaking of notifications, does anybody want to test my new notifier? https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~echidnaman/+junk/update-helper-notifier17:31
markeythey were intended for servers, so I assume it's robust17:31
JontheEchidnatesting/code review welcome17:31
markeyanyway, brb, reboot ;)17:32
JontheEchidnait still needs to keep track of what upgrade hooks it's diplayed and there is a problem with the upgrade hook notifications coming up twice, but otherwise it notifies of needed reboots, apport crashes and upgrade hooks17:33
JontheEchidna...and I need to figure out how to get running upgrade hook commands working17:33
markeyalso, is there a way to disable Apport completely?17:36
markeyI've followed all the guides on the net17:36
Riddellmarkey: rm /etc/default/apport17:36
markeybut there still comes a ksudo when something crashes, for Apport17:36
markeyok17:36
JontheEchidnafor that you can sudo apt-get remove apport-kde17:36
JontheEchidnaupdate-notifier-kde looks for the executable and notifies if is found to be present17:37
markeyok cheers, did that17:40
JontheEchidnayou can test by: killall --signal SEGV systemsettings17:41
JontheEchidnaassuming systemsettings is open, of course ;-)17:42
markeyI know how to test it, thanks :)17:42
markeyworks fine, now Dr Konqi comes up17:42
markeyI prefer it17:42
* JontheEchidna too17:43
JontheEchidnaI wonder if it'd be a good idea to have a checkbox in apport-kde that would disable apport and let dr konqi come in17:43
markeyI think so17:43
markeythat would be nice17:43
JontheEchidnaI'd be glad if we didn't use apport for crashes at all. It's not like we have enough people to triage all the upstream crashes we get for all of KDE.17:44
markeywell I can understand the desire to collect good crash information from users17:44
markeybut apport seems a bit.. cumbersome17:44
markeyDr Konqi is nice and simple17:44
tsimpsonthe problem is that Dr Konqi doesn't work without debugging symbols17:46
tsimpsonwhich are stripped from all packages17:46
JontheEchidnahalf the time apport fails to retrace incomplete reports anyway17:46
* JontheEchidna is not a fan17:47
tsimpsonstill better than 100% with no traces17:47
tsimpsonit's not perfect (or even good), but it's something17:47
yuriyJontheEchidna: btw i fixed u-n-k to check /etc/default/apport17:50
JontheEchidnawhen they do retrace, most of the time they are either already reported upstream or rot in Launchpad until the user doesn't feel like providing status updates anymore17:50
JontheEchidnaI mean, there have been a few times when apport-provided backtraces have lead to the resolution of an upstream bug17:50
yuriyhmm if retracing is failing that needs to be fixed, do apport people know about this?17:50
JontheEchidnaI think I pinged pitti back in the 8.10 days, and things have gotten somewhat better17:51
JontheEchidnait's still not reliable though17:51
yuriymarkey: can you elaborate on "cumbersome"?17:54
JontheEchidnaIt's very hard if you just want to get a backtrace17:55
markeyyuriy: I just don't like it17:55
markeyI need the backtrace17:55
markeyas a developer17:56
markeythe rest is not of interest17:56
yuriyso, as a developer. it's certainly very user oriented. what if we added a -with-crash-handler option to apps to reenable dr konqi for development?17:57
markeyyuriy: adding to that, Dr Konqi has always been a part of KDE18:00
markeyI don't think it's nice to disable it in Kubuntu18:00
JontheEchidnaDevelopment releases aren't targetted at users, so why should the crash handler be? Dr. Konqi should fit the usecase of a distro tester and/or developer just fine18:00
JontheEchidnaUntil we can build up a proper triage team that can handle all upstream crash reports in Kubuntu, I'd advocate not using apport for crash reporting in development releases, instead reporting them to KDE via Dr. Konqi18:01
yuriyJontheEchidna: has it been a major burden?18:01
JontheEchidnawe have around 1.5 people trying to triage 4,000 bugs18:02
JontheEchidnamost of them are just pumpkins waiting around for upstream to fix that we wouldn't backport anyways18:02
* markey knows how hard this is, although Amarok gets much less than that18:03
yuriyso there are actually fewer people triaging now than there were a year ago?18:03
markeyit's still a giant flood18:03
JontheEchidnaapachelogger triages when he can, and I am really the only full time triager18:03
JontheEchidnarecently nixternal has taken an interest18:03
scii can't resume using the "alt+shift+f12" shortcut for resume compositing mode18:03
scikubuntu 9.10 beta + update18:04
sciit's bug?18:04
yuriymarkey: do you find downstream bugs a significant issue in b.k.o?18:05
nixternalJontheEchidna: I didn't take an interest in triaging...just got bored one night :)18:05
JontheEchidnawe should get you bored more often18:06
markeyyuriy: depends on how they are reported. our biggest issues are dupes and missing debug symbols18:07
markeythe signal/noise ratio is very bad18:07
JontheEchidnaout of the 20 apport crashes in our bug tracker, 0 are upstream: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bugs?field.tag=apport-crash18:07
JontheEchidnaa lot of them may still be marked as private, meaning absolutely no work done at all18:08
yuriyJontheEchidna: I think it's better that reports go through apport and LP for various reasons, including that upstreams don't get bugs that are ours and that apport is actively developed, as well as higher quality reports over all with auto retracing.  That's all good *if* we can handle the traffic, which we decided last summer we probably can and would try it out.  If that has changed, this should be reconsidered for Lucid @ UDS18:08
JontheEchidnaIn the case of crashes, we rarely have downstream crashes18:09
JontheEchidnadefinitely not worth piping every upstream bug through our system to grab18:10
JontheEchidnafor example, we have had about 1 or 2 crashes that were our fault through this whole cycle. The most recent one looked like every other apport report so I filed it upstream since the backtrace was good18:11
JontheEchidnaTurns out an indicator patch was causing kontact to crash on startup if you had search folders18:11
JontheEchidnaso it didn't stop it from getting reported upstream anyways, and the upstream bug got dupes from users anyways18:12
JontheEchidnaMost of what I do is find an upstream report for a bug a user has reported to launchpad, then close it when we release a KDE release with a fix18:19
yuriyi'll write up a pros/cons thing for discussion at uds when i have time.  meanwhile, we should hold more bug days or something to recruit18:19
yuriythe lack of manpower is the real problem18:19
JontheEchidnain general, not just limited to bug manpower18:20
JontheEchidnabut then it's always been a problem...18:20
JontheEchidna(in general, probably for every FOSS project)18:20
yuriysure in general, but that seems to have gotten worse18:20
yuriyyou are doing a great job and things are in great shape, but spreading the work would be ++18:21
JontheEchidnaof course :)18:23
JontheEchidnawe need new blood18:23
yuriyso.. ideas for a bug day?18:23
yuriywould hate to throw newbies at kdepim18:24
JontheEchidnakdepim... that's a mess both here and upstream. upstream constantly has bugdays for that one18:24
JontheEchidnaamarok could use some love18:24
JontheEchidnait has almost as many bugs as kdebase18:24
yuriyok so say we hold one, tentatively next wednesday if i make the page over the weekend, and you and apachelogger throttle a little -- try to mentor more than do and see what/who we get18:26
rgreeningIm for helping with bugs... problem is I just don't know how to properly tag half the time...18:32
rgreeningwe need some docs, taining/tutorial/refresher and then hold regular bug days.18:33

Mamarokerxtremely, it's huge and stays for 2 seconds everytime I switch19:03
JontheEchidnaTonio__: ^do you know where that is?19:03
bmungerthe other part of the multiple desktops is that it affects the cube desktop effect if the pager has the desktops layout in 2x2.. it messes up.  if you set it to 1x4 it works as it should, but it takes more taskbar space19:13

Mamarokis the desktop changing animation Ku buntu specific or is this KDE?23:06
RiddellMamarok: which part?  the large popup arrow?23:06
JontheEchidnathere's an option for the popup in KWin's config, so it is upstream, but it's only on by default in Kubuntu23:12
RiddellJontheEchidna: the popup?23:15
Mamarokok, as this is getting on my nerves, everytime I change desktop this animation shows up for two seconds23:15

DarkwingDuckIt reminded me of the little dang paperclip that used to be in MS Office23:16
Mamarokoh, and btw, do you guys know that System Settings is crashing all the time?23:17
Mamarokit didn't in Jaunty with KDE 4.3.223:17
Riddellthere's a crash in regional that should be fixed by now23:18
RiddellI can't even work out how to get more than one virtual desktop to test it23:19
Mamarokno, what happens is that the App gets "lost" the first time you start it and one has to kill systemsettings first to get it working23:19
Mamarokand the regional is fixed, yes23:20
Mamarokstill, I have to try twice to have systemsettings working, with a 'killall systemsettings' in between23:20
Mamaroknut maybe I should just restart with that kernel revision of today23:21
Mamarokbut*23:21
Riddellcan't say I've heard of that system settings issue23:24
Riddellit probably needs gdb to debug it23:24
Mamarokhm, I will restart tomorrow and chek out23:27
Mamarokhm, that animation is tenacious, can't get ridd of it, where in Kwin is that?23:29
Mamarokreally annoying, takes away 2 seconds of your time everytime23:29
JontheEchidnaMamarok: "popup desktop name on desktop switch" in the "Window Behavior" section23:33
valgaavMamarok : systemsettings works ok for me... on the other hand I'm stuck with english kde no metter what I do :P23:33
JontheEchidnafor some reason it was unchecked. I guess the kcm doesn't read the config value?23:33
JontheEchidnavalgaav: the langpack builders ran out of space and shipped mostly-empty language packs. Updates should be available in the very near future if they aren't already available23:34
MamarokJontheEchidna: well, that's not even there, I don't have desktop effects activated23:34
JontheEchidnait's not a desktop effect, it's in the first section of the "Window Behavior" module23:35
valgaavyeah I found a fixed launchpad bug about it so I thought it should work already23:35
Mamarokthat's deactivated here23:35
JontheEchidnaright, that's a bug with the config module23:36
JontheEchidnaclick it twice then hit apply, and the animation of doom should go away23:36
Mamarokoh, it's actually the "Desktop navigation wraps around" option23:37
Tonio_Mamarok: any problem with desktop changing animation ?23:37
MamarokTonio_: that should really be deactivated, I switch desktop and once I have swithced I get that animation for 2 seconds23:37
Mamaroktakes unnecessary time from my work23:38
Tonio_Mamarok: which one ? the window that appears with an arrow in it ?23:38
MamarokTonio_: yes, that one, it's "Desktop navigation wraps around" in the Windows Behaviour23:39
Tonio_it's only half a second here, and nobody appart from you complained about that....23:39
yuriyi did notice it's a little annoying23:39
yuriybut it's not up for 2 seconds either23:39
Tonio_Mamarok: the thing is I think it's nice fopr most people23:39
Mamarokwell, it appears onyl *after* the switch is done, and lasts for, well let's say one second, still annoying23:39
Tonio_Mamarok: only half a second here....23:39
