JontheEchidnabla, we got 40 bug reports last night for kde stuffs14:25
JontheEchidnaa good portion are dupes14:26
Riddellagateau: that was a temporary blib it now asks for WEP fine, but it doesn't work with the ascii password I put into my router14:38
agateauRiddell: is it an ascii passphrase or an ascii key?14:39
Riddellagateau: http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/router.png14:40
RiddellI think that's an ascii key I enter in the box, click generate and it turns it into hex14:40
agateauRiddell: yes, it's just a way to generate random hex keys14:41
Riddellagateau: so that's not the ascii password thing we want to test?14:41
agateauno14:41
agateauRiddell: What other options do you have in Security Mode?14:42
Riddellwhat a pointless feature14:42
Riddell64 bit WEP, 128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise(RADIUS), WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)14:42
ScottKWEP you mean?  It's been pretty well cracked for most of a decade now.14:42
agateauScottK: sure, but you would still want knetworkmanager to support it14:43
ScottKCertainly14:43
Riddellgenerate key I mean, the user still has to care about the hex14:43
agateauRiddell: and I guess 128 bit WEP is hex as well14:43
Riddellagateau: oui14:43
agateauRiddell: so you can't test,14:43
Riddellfooey14:43
agateauRiddell: what you are looking for is a way to enter a 5 or 13 char ascii key14:44

JontheEchidnawhen I was little, whenever me or my brother complained that a body part hurted, my dad always suggested we amputate it18:18
JontheEchidnawell, not always, but he is a kidder like that :P18:19
ScottKI think I'd get on well with your Dad18:19
JontheEchidnaHe says "repeating bad jokes is the father's perogative"18:19
ScottKWhen there is a hair crisis in the house (and with three daughters it's not rare), I generally recommend a stapler as part of the solution.18:20
ScottKHe right.18:20
Riddellthe worrying part is when you grow old you start repeating your dad's bad jokes18:20
ScottKThe standard answer to "what are we having for dinner" is "Snails".18:20
ScottKSo far I've got my own set.18:20
JontheEchidnamy dad used to say we should go in the backyard and look for a log with grubs in it18:21

JontheEchidnaas should the shortcut patch to kdelibs it relies on20:18
debfxLure: you're welcome :)20:18
ScottKdebfx: Did it go upstream?20:20
debfxScottK: not yet, the kdelibs patch depends on the Qt patch20:21
ScottKdebfx: Is the Qt patch in 4.6?20:22
debfxScottK: no20:26
ScottKdebfx: Qt 4.6 is in beta now, so please submit soon.20:27
Riddellslightly nutty blog post http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Karmic-Koala-Ubuntu-Gets-The-K20:28
JontheEchidnaThe Qt patch is in the kdeqt git repo20:29
JontheEchidnawhich usually means it's upstream, or will be soon20:30
debfxScottK: there is already a merge request: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/merge_requests/174220:30
ScottKdebfx: Great.20:30
ScottKRiddell: For a large value of slightly, sure.20:31
* JontheEchidna got a laugh out of it20:31
slacker_nlRiddell: that blogpost made me laugh20:33
debfxRiddell: I updated the brightness patch a bit: disabled fake transparency, changed opacity from 75 to 85 and some cleanup20:47
debfxRiddell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/297764/20:47
Tm_Tslacker_nl: ...you're telling me it was a joke?20:48
slacker_nlTm_T: i sure hope not20:49
slacker_nlwould be time for ubuntu to change to KDE as their main DE20:49
slacker_nland de Koala release seems to be ready for it20:50
* ScottK thinks it should be pretty easy to configure plasma to do what Gnome shell intends.20:50
ScottKNot really.20:50
ScottKKarmic is way better than Jaunty and Jaunty was way better than Intrepid, but we've a long ways to go.20:50
slacker_nlScottK: imo karmic is the best KDE release (kde4 release) i have seen20:50
ScottKslacker_nl: No doubt.20:51
slacker_nlthe intrepid release was horrible20:51
slacker_nlScottK: but I don't see any reasons why KDE could not be the default DE20:51
slacker_nlI don't think gnome is that good20:52
slacker_nlor awesome or whatever20:52
Tm_Tslacker_nl: ...and my pc is still on intrepid20:52
slacker_nlTm_T: sucks to be you mate ;)20:52
Riddelldebfx: it'll need to wait until after RC, please remind me then20:53
Tm_Tslacker_nl: indeed, atleast I do have kde from trunk20:53
* Tm_T is waiting for new hardware20:53
slacker_nlI had major issues with intrepid, kde4.0 which was not really ready - and some Xorg/Intel bug20:53
slacker_nlwhich made the whole experience very painfull20:53
ScottKslacker_nl: Intrepid was KDE 4.1.20:54
slacker_nlScottK: it was?20:54
ScottKIt was20:54
slacker_nli stand corrected then20:54
ScottKThe xorg/intel thing wasn't KDE's fault either.20:54
slacker_nlbut I still didn't like it :)20:54
slacker_nli know20:54
ScottKIt was a *buntu specific patch that we got dropped in Jaunty20:54
Riddellintrepid was intended to be intrepid, that was the name20:55
ScottKI still have a version without the patch in my PPA for Intrepid.20:55
slacker_nlwell, actually, I didn't had issues when using gnome...20:55
ScottKMuch as Edgy was intended to be Edgy.20:55
slacker_nleitherway, went back to hardy20:55
Riddelland intrepid was better than jaunty in various painful ways20:55
ScottKTrue, although overall I liked Jaunty better.20:55
Riddellbut karmic is good, and in six months time we'll be ready for an LTS20:56
slacker_nlLTS will include 4.3.2 ?20:56
JontheEchidna4.4.2 most likely20:56
slacker_nlnice20:56
PedroLeKoiRiddell: Kubuntu is going to be updated on Version 9.1021:00
PedroLeKoiRiddell: ... to Version 9.10. Sorry for that one.21:02
PedroLeKoiRiddell: Updates are going to be downloaded. This seems to work...21:02
slacker_nlonly issue I have is that the upgrade broke my wireless connection21:03
slacker_nlwell, it is still busy upgrading21:03
ScottKJontheEchidna: Would you please take a look at Bug 44727521:17

JontheEchidnaoh darn, I forgot to get that sponsored21:19
zoraelLaunchpad bug #415023 seems to affect Kubuntu as well. (Changing brightness is broken; makes brightness setting bounce back and forth, making system unresponsive [buttons don't work], high cpu use.) What package should it also be filed against? Powerdevil? I.e, what is the KDE equavilence of gnome-power-manager?21:21

ScottKRiddell: Upgrade from Jaunty -> Karmic on i386 passed.21:23
debfxzorael: what's  the output of "lshal|grep brightness_in_hardware" on your system?21:24
zoraeldebfx: "laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware = false  (bool)"21:24
debfxzorael: does it happen when you use the brightness keys or the slider of the battery applet?21:27
zoraeldebfx: If it's of interest, dbus-monitor says the following when just trying to change the brightness up one step: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/297639/. It maxes out to 100% and then back down to 0%21:27
zoraeldebfx: both21:27
RiddellScottK: awooga21:31
slacker_nlRiddell: the upgrade comes up with this, /usr/bin/diff: /etc/X11/app-defaults/Xedit: No such file or directory and then shows me a diff which says that there are no differences21:31
debfxzorael: did the brightness keys work before?21:32
zoraeldebfx: Oh yes, up until a reboot some time ago21:32
zoraeldebfx: it was the first time I saw the new brightness OSD, if that has any relevance21:33
debfxzorael: what laptop?21:35
zoraelzorael: MSI Wind U100 rebrand (Advent 4211)21:35
zoraeler21:35
zoraeldebfx: :321:35
debfxguess the solution is to add a hal rule to set laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware=true and honor it in powerdevil21:38
neversfeldeRiddell: upstream told me that the kid3 fix gnome dialog finally works :)21:45

Riddellneversfelde: yay21:47

debfxzorael: could you please attach the output of "dmidecode -t system" to that bug report21:55
zoraeldebfx: done (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34074612/dmidecode.log)22:01
* debfx still thinks that sending a brightness up/down key event on every brightness change is a stupid thing to do for the hardware22:01
ScottKRiddell: The only significant issue is that one kid had a bunch of widgets on her desktop and they were all gone after the upgrade.  Is that expected?22:03
debfxzorael: thanks, I'll prepare a testing package tomorrow22:04
zoraeldebfx: awesome, many thanks22:05
PedroLeKoiRiddell: The procedure was terminated. Error messages under http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/297811/22:06
RiddellPedroLeKoi: erk22:12
RiddellPedroLeKoi: ok guess I'll need to investigate that more, thanks for testing22:12
PedroLeKoiRiddell: I am going to leave now. I probably won't be able to come online tomorrow. I will be back on Sunday or Monday. I will prepare the system so that I can start with the --dist-upgrade-devel-lts command right away. Maybe you can find some time to work on that bug. Take care, Pedro.22:16
slacker_nlRiddell: works for me (tm)22:19
Riddellslacker_nl: yeah it's probably because he's in a chroot22:21
slacker_nlRiddell: could be the case22:22
slacker_nlon my real laptop it works22:22
slacker_nlthe only issue was the diff fo Xedit, which is only present in karmic afaik22:23
RiddellI've no idea what that's about22:25
slacker_nli have no clue either22:27
slacker_nlwould need to restore to see if that file should be in a hardy package22:28
slacker_nlor maybe change my sources back to hardy and do an apt-file update and check22:28
slacker_nlwell, added comments to both bug 452090 and 439706 - hope it helps22:31

slacker_nlkonqueror bomb22:33
slacker_nli think something went wrong22:34
ScottKdavmor2: On kubuntu-netbook when I go straight to install without starting a live session, it seems it goes into some kind of loop and never starts the installer.  Did you see anything like this?22:36
slacker_nlclicking on that URL gave me a zillion konqueror startups (but no procs found via ps)22:36
ScottKProbably saved session.22:36

JontheEchidnaslacker_nl: what's the default KDE web browser set as?22:58
JontheEchidnaI'm wondering if in the past it was set to xdg-open or kfmclient (start konq) or something which causes a loop22:58
slacker_nlJontheEchidna: empty value22:59
slacker_nlshould be firefox or iceweasel22:59
JontheEchidnathen that shouldn't be the problem22:59
slacker_nlthe value was empty, now set to ff22:59
slacker_nlweird23:00
slacker_nlok, set the value to firefox and the problem is gone23:00
slacker_nlstrange, the e-mail client is still icedove23:01
slacker_nlwhy the webbrowser field was empty..23:02

ScottKRiddell: Device notifier pops up during USB install.  Is this known?23:20
RiddellScottK: USB install?23:24
Riddellyou mean using usb-creator?23:25
ScottKRiddell: While I'm installing Kubuntu Netbook with a USB stick the device notifier pops us23:25
ScottKus/up23:25
ScottKRight, from a USB stick created with USB creator.23:25
RiddellI've not seen that but ubiquity does include a comment saying "TODO port kded devicenotifier unload to KDE 4"23:25
ScottKThere's some point in the installer when it redetects everying and the device notifier pops up.23:25
ScottKOK.23:26
ScottKThat sounds like it.23:26
Riddellit's probably just a dbus call that's needed but I never looked into what since I never saw it causing an issue23:28
