Mamaroknini everyone00:01
RiddellScottK: I'm surprised it didn't before00:03
Riddellsweet dreams Mamarok00:03
Riddellyuriy: did you ask pitti about keeping apport on for some apps?00:17
yuriyRiddell: no i haven't. right now I don't think using it is a good idea actually -- there are two crashes and a hang in apport-kde, one we can't fix and one can't reproduce but have many reports00:38
yuriythis pykde thing is a real bugger because it effects most of our pykde stuff00:39
ScottKRiddell: It used it's own internal crash handler before (which it will still use if it's built without KDE support)00:40
* Riddell blogs http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/407400:43
Riddellyuriy: what's the issue with getting userconfig upstream?00:43
yuriyprocrastination, mostly00:44
yuriywhat's the best way to import something from bzr to svn?00:44
Riddellsvn add and ignore the history is what I tend to do00:44
Riddelljust point to the bzr archive in the comment00:45
yuriywell... that's one way to do it I guess. is it reasonable to then keep bzr as the main dev branch or would people not like that?00:45
Riddellit could be like system-config-printer-kde where it's developed in bzr when KDE is in freezes00:46
rgreeningRiddell: arora doesn't do java which was a showstopper as well :) (as I read yer blog mr evil genius') :P00:48
JontheEchidnatbh konq sucks a java too00:51
JontheEchidna*at java00:52
rgreeningbut it runs00:54
rgreeningarora doesnt support period at this point00:54
rgreeningneeds new webkit00:55
JontheEchidnaalso, our translations aren't as good as upstream's yet00:57
JontheEchidnaalmost, but not quite there yet00:57
Riddelli should add the kdeqt issue to my bugs to watch for release00:57
yuriyactually firefox sucks at java too. i usually end up using FF/windows. which sucks at java too in that it hard hangs the whole system sometimes, but at least works most of the time00:58
JontheEchidnaThe kdeqt pot fixes a few issues, but instances "Shift" in menu shortcuts are still untranslated in spanish00:58
JontheEchidna"Shift" being translated in both kdeqt.po and kdelibs4.po00:59
Riddellit's possible that java just sucks00:59
yuriyeh beats flash01:00

DarkwingDuckHey guys01:03
DarkwingDuckThe beta download...01:03
DarkwingDuckkpackagekit will not allow you to download updates01:03
DarkwingDuckIt states that you do not have the priviladges.01:03
RiddellDarkwingDuck: known issue, apt-get install kdebase-workspace-bin  on the command line should fix it01:04
DarkwingDuckI know that. I am just surprised that this hasn't been added to the .iso so people downloading wont run into it.01:05

lex79ok02:59
ScottKUnless nixternal gets to it before I do.02:59
ScottKlex79: When you have an unreleased changelog entry like you did in this case, combine it with yours.  I've fixed it up and so you can check what I did.04:00
ScottKlex79: Was it you working on Qt 4.5.3?  Debian fixed there's.04:03
lex79ScottK: I'm building now :)04:03
ScottKGreat.04:04
DarkwingDuckAnyone around?04:05
DarkwingDuckNeed help pin-pointing something04:06
lex79oh, forgot to merge harald's changelog, thanks04:07
ScottKHey DarkwingDuck.  Looks like I've got the same problem you do.04:07
DarkwingDuckIt's the right side that is missing04:07
shtylmanyou know... I used to look at the days countdown until release and wait with anticipation04:08
shtylmannow I look at the days countdown and go ... oh jesus. .. not enough time!04:08
JontheEchidnaheh04:24
JontheEchidnaYou know, that gentlebot in the Krita announcement is pretty sweet04:25
ScottKJontheEchidna: Any ideas about what might have changed in 4.3.2 to cause several catagories and a bunch of apps to go missing from the netbook app launcher?04:26
JontheEchidnanot off the top of my head. lemme check the changelog and see if anything jumps out04:27
ScottKThanks.04:27
ScottKThe kind of odd thing is the stuff went missing today, not on tuesday04:28
JontheEchidnamm, nothing in the changelog jumps out as suspicious04:29
ScottKWeird.  Well we got two people with it.04:29
ScottKShoot got it back.04:31

yuriyok... w/e i was going to get done over the weekend.. not happening04:32
ScottKlex79: OK.04:32
ScottKJontheEchidna: I think it's kwin's fault.04:35
ScottKIf I toggle effects off/on then the missing apps reappear, but if if I switch to a different app list and then back, the problem recurs until I toggle compositing again.04:36
DarkwingDuckScottK: Bug launched04:39
lex79ScottK: only note, I removed in 4.3.2 libxcomposite-dev and libxdamage-dev from kdeplasma-addons, I added in 4.3.0 for building lancelot compositing, but no need now. Maybe cause your bug?04:40
ScottKDarkwingDuck: Do you get stuff back temporariliy if you toggle effects04:40
ScottKlex79: Perhaps.04:40
DarkwingDuckScottK: Yes04:41
DarkwingDuckwee04:41
ScottKlex79: Would you be up for making a PPA build with that put back?04:41
DarkwingDuckScottK: but then kdeinit4 crashed instantly04:42
lex79ScottK: wich ppa?04:42
ScottKDarkwingDuck: Same here, but just the first time i tried it.04:43
ScottKIt's not a solution, but it's a good hint.04:43
DarkwingDuckYeah, I'll add a comment to my bug.04:43
DarkwingDuckDid you get the bug?04:43

random_the program updater says to me that i have to install 10 updates, but if i type in the konsole apt-get ... upgrade, it says that they can't be upgraded..14:16
random_these packages are kdebase-workspace-bin kdebase-workspace-data kdebase-workspace-kgreet-plugins14:17

rgreeningI think kpackagekit may be doing that automatically now14:34
rgreening'may'14:34

JontheEchidnakpackagekit can add new stuff on upgrades, just not remove14:34

danttiaptcc already can remove your packages, and hopefully in a few time will show debconf14:36
danttirandom_: ah, and it's not kpackagekit fault.14:36
JontheEchidnaright, I should say packagekit can't remove packages on upgrades14:36
JontheEchidnaTonio_: :)14:36
Tonio_JontheEchidna: 1 year of tracking... and it's almost done :)14:37
JontheEchidnadantti: would you happen to know whether it's a frontend or backend thing to be able to show warnings for unauthenticated packages before they're installed?14:37
JontheEchidnaright now it's more like "punk'd! you installed an unauthenticated package"14:37
JontheEchidnasince the warning shows after the installation is complete14:38
danttiJontheEchidna: backend thing, if it's Pk 0.4.x there is no other way, if it's Pk 0.5.x a dialog show be show (aptcc does this) if it's not showing then it's a backend missing feature14:39

KubuntiacAnd the short answer is?15:01
Riddellthe idea is that X starts so quickly you don't need a splash, a splash would just delay things more15:01

RiddellScottK: agateau just did a new plasma-widget-indicatordisplay, dunno if that's related16:50

ScottKI think it would be in Quassel.16:50
SputScottK: those are different types of notifications (focused/nonfocused)16:55
Sputmaybe you have configurered them differently?16:55
SputI think by default we don't notify if Quassel is focused16:55
ScottKNot by default, but it's a nice option.16:57
ScottKSince MI doesn't have options, it might be good if it just did it.16:57
