ScottKseele: Yes00:29
seeleit's really annoying, although it also made me realise that if you get multiple messages from the same application within a certain period of time, you dont need to show the 2nd to n messages, just the first one00:34
seelethe auditory ping is all you need00:35
seeleso say you send me 3 PM's within a few seconds of each other00:35
seelemessage one should have a ping + notification box00:35
seelemessage 2 and 3 should just have pings to let me know that you are still talking to me00:35
seelebecause knowing you are sending more than one message means that the conversation is important00:36
seelewhere if you were just sending me one message, you might have simply responded to a question, posted a link or some other mlp, or mentioned me in passing00:36
seelewhat would be really awesome is if we could detect desktop behavior00:37
seeleso say you ping me, i switch from an app to the message, then immediately switch back to my original app00:37
seelethat could be a clue that i'm not involved in the conversation and doing other work00:37
seeleand so a "smart" system would forgo the visual notification and just ping me00:37
seeleand after a while, if it notices i *really* dont care about what you have to say, forgo the pings too and just collect the messages in whatever queue/indicator00:38
seelehmmm00:38
* seele is done brain dumping00:38
seelebut the out of sync pings are a realy problem00:38
seeleyou start to wonder what the pings are about00:39
seeleor why the messages are flashing with no ping00:39
seeleand if the two are even related to each other00:39

jefferaiwhich sounds a lot like a firewall02:04
ScottKIt does, but ufw is the only firewall and it's off by default. It's a bit odd.02:05

markeykubuntu review06:28
ScottKSo it's not entirely clear to me that my last mail to kubuntu-devel was entirely CoC compliant.  I'm reasonably certain I don't care.06:36
tsimpsonit's not explicitly non-compliant, therefore I deem it compliant ;)06:45
ScottKExcellent06:46
ScottKI'm waiting for the reply that explains how qualified he is to have an opinion on something he's never used.06:47
tsimpsonmessages like the one you replied to is why I no longer read the kubuntu-users list any more06:47
tsimpsonI'd just get too worked up and angry, and I'd just rather save the energy for other things06:47
ScottKYep.  I don't read it anymore either.06:49
ScottKThe only 'user' list I read is ubuntu-server and that's both users and developers.06:49
ScottKI guess I read devel-discuss too, but not in detail.06:49
ScottKmarkey: Thanks.  Not a bad review.06:50
ScottKryanakca: ^^^ what about adding the review markey mentioned in the review section of the web site.06:50
ScottKIf you do, make sure to link to the full version of the review (linked off that one)06:52
markeyah yes, you have this CoC :)06:55
markeyit's just too tempting06:55
markeywhat would happen if I, theoretically of course, said "fuck" here06:55

markeynot that I would ever do such a naughty thing06:56

ScottKThat's about the worst that would happen06:56
tsimpsonthere's nothing in the CoC about swearing06:56
markeyok, but that's actuall sane, deciding on a case-by-case basis06:56
markeywe do it like that too06:56
tsimpsonhowever the guidelines do disallow it06:57
ScottKThere's separate rules for IRC.06:57
markeybut people are invited to use all sorts of swear words on our channels, unless they are insulting someone (us, mostly)06:57

nhnHi guys. Not strictly Kubuntu related, but can someone tell my how a bug like this gets assigned low priority? It is a total showstopper for my SO's laptop. There is even a confirmed fix for it just lying around: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/41893308:06

nhnok, thanks. Looking in from the outside, a priority of "low" just strikes me as very odd even though int he end, if the bug gets fixed it does not matter much! :-)08:28

dpmRiddell, did you create any other blueprint for the Kubuntu translations session? I saw you renamed the desktop- one to kubuntu-, but it was still marked as superseded by the community- one:11:08
dpmhttps://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kubuntu-lucid-translations11:08
dpmso now the community one has been scheduled instead11:09
Riddelldpm: hmm, that sound be the other way around11:09
Riddellkubuntu-lucid-translations is the one I wanted11:09
dpmRiddell, yeah, that's why I'm asking11:09
dpmcan you un-supersed it? Then I can supersede the community- one and ask jono to remove it from the community track11:11
ghostcubebtw 4.3.3 works fine but still printer apllet is stressing peoples :)11:11
MamarokRiddell: in the Krunner, you can change the mode it works, default is Command oriented, Task oriented is Quicksand11:11
neversfeldeMamarok: I cannot confirm your problem, here quicksand says "Amarok (Medienwiedergabe)"11:13
Riddelldpm: let me see how well this train internet works11:14

Riddelldpm: superceded removed11:16
dpmRiddell, ok, marked the community- one as superseded. I'll add some notes to https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Specs/LucidTranslations. There's also a big red cross next to Sprints, so perhaps the blueprint will have to be re-targeted to Lucid11:21
Mamarokneversfelde: well, I have several apps that say "KDE3, description", so maybe the translation corrected that11:23

Riddellrickspencer3: can you accept kubuntu-lucid-translations for uds-l?11:30
Mamarokneversfelde: wait, I suspect it to be due to me not having the Karmic Amarok installed, but using git11:31
amichair3 good newses: first, I figured out the sp bzr deal... as it turns out, the bzr was indeed up to date, but the diff consistent entirely of the introduction of the bug I was seeing! which made it look like the reverse diff is a bugfix, and bzr is the one that's behind... sorry for all the confusion I caused!11:47

apacheloggernow?14:40
JontheEchidnawhen the spec gets approved I guess14:41
* apachelogger doubts that14:42
apacheloggerwho would approve the spec?14:42
JontheEchidnaRiddell is the set spec approver for that spec14:43
JontheEchidnathis also ties in with what we end up doing with apport crash detection, so it would be best to not enact new policy before we can ensure that apport will be disabled14:43
JontheEchidnaespecially if part of the spec is making the public aware of new policy14:44
JontheEchidnamaybe I worry too much?14:44

apacheloggertechnically what you just said overrides the kubuntu council14:45

JontheEchidnaany security measures save thermite only delay things15:21
