jwisserScottK & JontheEchidna: Hello. Sorry I've been elsewhere the last few days; I'm about to get in touch with UndoIT. Is there anyone else I missed and should contact?02:35
JontheEchidnaI cannot recall anyone else02:36
ScottKThere was someone who was here who volunteered to help on web site design02:40
* ScottK is blanking on who02:40
jwisserSomeone besides UndoIT? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2009-November/003516.html02:50
ScottKYes, it was someone on IRC02:51
ScottKMy backlog search doesn't seem to be working out very well though02:52
ScottKRiddell: Would it be possible to move "Kubuntu Lucid Packaging" back an hour on Monday.  There's another session on at Noon I'd like to go to.04:07
ScottK(back meaning earlier)04:07
ScottKRiddell: I've also got a conflict the last hour of the day for Kubuntu Lucid Development04:09
* kb9vqf really, really hates Compiz & KDE virtual desktops vs. viewports04:24
ScottKkb9vqf: Switch to KDE4 and use Kwin.  Problem solved.04:29
ScottK;-)04:29
kb9vqfScottK: Well, that would solve one problem and create about 50 others ;-)04:30
* kb9vqf doesn't use compositing anyway; it's for another user04:30
ScottKI didn't either in KDE3.  I find it very useful in KDE4.04:31
dtchen_ScottK: out of curiosity, what sorts of workflows benefit from kwin's compositing?04:44
ScottKdtchen_: I find it's present windows a very good way to switch between windows when I have a bunch open.04:46
ScottKI also find some of the translucency stuff benificial.04:47
dtchen_ok, so overview type? Interesting.05:00
ScottKI was chatting with a friend of mine who uses both OS X and KDE 3 (in Debian Testing) and is likely to switch to KDE 4 soon perhaps without OS X.  When he described the feature he'd most miss from OS X (I can't remember Apple's name for it), it turned out to be pretty exactly "Present Windows".05:11
Lex79ScottK: do you know why python-marble package is disabled in the kdeedu's control file? no informations in changelog05:14
JontheEchidnait failed to build once upon a time05:14
JontheEchidnaoh, maybe not. I might be thinking of something else05:15
* JontheEchidna tries to remember why05:15
Lex79:)05:15
JontheEchidnaSime: Do you have any recollection of ^^? I think you might have been consulted at one point about it05:16
Lex79well, I can test if builds, if not, I can keep it disabled05:16
ScottKIIRC it was disabled in the Jaunty backport due to bindings problems.05:31
ScottKI should have been enabled for Karmic05:31
jussi01I have this really annoying bug...08:14
jussi01I have xinerama, mouse moves fine and things generally work fine but when I use the internal laptop mousepad, then I cant move the mouse out of the lappy screen. weird. :/08:14
jussi01oh yeah, FGLRX rubbish driver...08:14
jussi01still noone about?09:07
jussi01kubuntu lucid packaging here is linked wrong... http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-l/2009-11-16/09:07
jussi01seems as though most of the kubuntu ones are. they go to non existing wiki pages, instead of the LP page for it.09:12

markeycan I stull use DrKonqi then?10:49
markeyor does it replace it?10:49

Riddellnext time kde starts there will be a "!" icon in the system tray which will run apport when you click it and send the backtrace and other files to launchpad10:49
markeyok10:49
Riddellit replaces drkonqi10:49
markeyoh well, so be it10:49
markeyquestion is, bug in KDE or elsewhere... we'll see10:50
markeyhopefully not in KDE10:50
markeyKWin comes to mind10:50
Riddellkwin doesn't kill the session as far as I know10:51
Riddellksmserver would10:51
Riddelland of course X or an X driver would10:51
markeythis all started to happen after the KDE 4.3.3 upgrade from backports10:51

markeylemme try something11:27
markeyforget about the MTP thing11:29
markeythat's actually an amarok bug11:29
markeyso anyway, back to Apport: I've enabled it, restarted KDE, but there is no "!" icon anywhere11:32
markeyis that good or bad?11:32
Riddellmarkey: probably means nothing has crashes with apport enabled yet (check in /var/crash if you like)11:32

danttihey Riddell and JontheEchidna, well if what i did get in debconf package, I'd include that kde code in KPackageKit, and gnome-packagekit would be implemented by it's author too..11:42
Riddelldantti: but doesn't packagekit daemon prevent interruptions?11:43
danttiRiddell: well it does not allow you to use packagekit methods that block the transaction, but that doesn't mean we can't do an out of band solution... :D11:44
danttiRiddell: actually i could do exactly what aptdaemon does right now, and have debconf support11:44
danttibut i prefer to implement that directly into debconf-comunicate to avoid coding it twice (kpk and gpk) the same make socket read socket, then pass to d-c...11:45
Riddelldantti: how does out of band work?  surely debconf needs to ask and get an answer during the package install11:45
danttiRiddell: the out of band means like out of PackageKit, we code in an ifndef the code to handle debconf in kpk and gpk, then pass the socket path (in the case of dbus debconf frontend i passed the connection id), then aptcc (or apt) backends pass that to passthrough..11:47
danttiRiddell: that doesn't change PackageKit methods and flow in any way, what we have is a solution that has another way of comunication...11:48
Riddellall very impressive sounding11:48
Riddelldantti: so what should we be pushing for inclusion at UDS next week?11:48
danttiit just use packagekit to make the backend aware of what comunication form should be used (ie a socket path..)11:49
Riddellneversfelde: pkg-kde-tools_0.5.2ubuntu2 should fix your compile problem with doc paths11:51
neversfeldeRiddell: k, I will try another build, thanks11:52
Riddellneversfelde: http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/pkg-kde-tools_0.5.2ubuntu2_all.deb11:54
Riddellyo, ryanakca, I should be hassling Ng right?11:54
danttiRiddell: sorry, work stuff, well as i said in that post i'm waiting for debconf devs to aprove that solution, so i can code and test..11:54
danttiRiddell: btw what is UDS?11:54
ryanakcaRiddell: Please :) ... It would me much appreciated. Or whoever is in change of the security audits.11:55
Riddelldantti: the ubuntu summit next week, you're not passing through dallas are you?11:55
Riddellryanakca: for the screenshot module?11:55
danttiRiddell: hehe, I'm a bit far far from there :P11:56

Riddellryanakca: should I have a password for the rt site?11:57
amichairanyone here familiar with the jockey-kde code?11:57
Riddellamichair: jockey's code I always find to be overly complex, only pitti really is familiar with it11:58
Riddellwant me to introduce you?11:58
amichairsure11:58
Riddellamichair: join #ubuntu-devel11:59
* jussi01 thinks maybe he should bug someone about jockey-kde not updating the package cache, or are you planning to do that amichair?11:59
Riddellfirefox installer has the same issue11:59
ryanakcaRiddell: agy might be more appropriate than Ng seeing that he's the one who started the audit. However, afaik, Ng is the one who takes care of the Drupal stuff11:59
amichairdunno, JontheEchidna suggested I move on from software-properties to jockey, dunno what I'm looking for - I'm on a general bug-killing spree12:00

amichairRiddell: if u have anything else to suggest as well, I can take a look. I wanna help get this stuff stable and usable.12:01

jussi01thats quite old, but it is in jockey-kde12:05
Riddelljussi01: you think it doesn't happen in jockey-gtk?12:06
jussi01bug 357134 is more it though (although I think they are same bug?)12:06
ubottuLaunchpad bug 357134 in jockey "jockey-kde hungs on 'Activate'" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35713412:06
jussi01Riddell: its curious, as yesterday I could install ati drivers with jockey-gtk but not with -kde.12:06
amichairjussi01: I saw a bunch of reports about ppl clicking activate and nothing happens - is this all the same bug?12:09
jussi01amichair: Im not certain, but seems a user fixed it the other day by running apt-get update. however, I dont know for sure.12:09
jussi01it did not fix it for me.12:09
Riddellyes that's what happened when I tried it12:09
amichairjussi01: so I guess that's not it...12:10
jussi01amichair: I think not, in all cases, but in some.12:10
jussi01amichair: I was able to install with jockey-gtk yesterday (as I just said), when even after apt-get update jockey-kde did not work.12:11
amichairanyone have thoughts on how I can test this in a vm? anything I can make it detect in there? wouldn't want to trash my work box12:12
amichairjussi01: which bug corresponds to what happened to u? any error message?12:12
jussi01well I can deactivate and reactivate if it helps.12:12
ScottKThe lack of local cache problem affects both jockey-gtk and jockey-kde and is release noted as such.  The rest, I don't know.12:12
jussi01amichair: bug 357134 is closest to me12:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 357134 in jockey "jockey-kde hungs on 'Activate'" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/35713412:12
jussi01ie. clicking activate does nothing.12:13
amichairjussi01: but no error or anything? and gui is still responsive? (i.e. one of the other buttons work)?12:13
jussi01no and yes.12:14
amichairjussi01: ok... the main problem is how do I recreate this in a test environment :-/12:14
Riddellthat's always been an issue with jockey, you don't have the hardware to test it12:15
Riddellthere is a test module that you can set up, pitti will know how12:15
jussi01amichair: yeah, its hard.12:15
jussi01mind, theres a related issue Im seeing.12:15
jussi01If i click remove, green light disappears in jockey-kde, but if I restart it, the enabled light is back.12:16
amichairand are we sure this ony happens in kde? that can help sort it out too12:16
* jussi01 tries with -gtk12:16
jussi01amichair: the behaviour I just described only happens with jockey-kde (-gtk works)12:17
jussi01amichair: ok, I have the behaviour for the bug here after removing the driver.12:18
amichairjussi01: didn't get that last bit12:20
jussi01and yes, it only happens on jockey-kde12:20
amichairjussi01: oh ok12:20
jussi01amichair: I can reproduce.12:20
amichairjussi01: I envy you :-)12:20
jussi01amichair: I have to go get my GF from work, Ill be back later so we can test. ok?12:21
amichairjussi01: sure, have fun :-)12:21
amichairjussi01: if u can, maybe update the bug issue with all the details above and exact reproducing steps?12:21
amichaircool, the virtualbox guest addons shows up in jockey in the vbox, so I have something to test with :-)12:33
rajaHi, I have a PyKDE4 question, is it possible to have a daemon process that listens just for signals and acts on it ?12:41
rajamost of examples I see mention the requirement of KAboutWindow and KCmdline before getting access to KApplication objects12:42
rajas/KAboutWindow/KAboutData12:42
RiddellSime: ^^12:43
sebasraja: signals don't make it across process boundaries, they're all in process (but work across threads)12:43
sebasyou'll have to resort to d-bus for IPC12:43
sebaswith Qt4, you can work without a GUI though12:43
rajathanks sebas, im trying to do without a GUI, Ill lookup PyQt.12:44
sebasalright :)12:45

amichairRiddell: 4 duplicate bug reports for this issue, which turns out to be a simple gui thing - one of the reporters actually gave a perfectly correct analysis of the problem. I guess no one read it :(13:14
amichairRiddell: do u have a guideline for which to mare as duplicate? the oldest? one with most comments? most accurate description? just pick any?13:14
Riddellamichair: one with the most useful information/comments I guess13:15
amichairRiddell: and does launchpad automatically take care of transitivity, i.e. one dup of two dup of three, will make them all point to three?13:16
Riddellamichair: I think you need to point them all at the one chosen bug number13:20
RiddellI seem to mind it doesn't let you make a dup point at a dup13:20
amichairRiddell: ok, I'll try to untangle this DAG13:20
amichairRiddell: yep, just gave me an error13:21
amichairRiddell: is it possible jockey doesn't have a changelog file?13:26
Riddellamichair: bzr log ?13:26
Riddellamichair: where did you get it, there's the "upstream" branch and the "ubuntu" branch which will have debian/changelog13:27
amichairRiddell: I run dch, it tells me there's no changelog, and I really don't see one13:27
amichairRiddell: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jockey-hackers/jockey/trunk/13:27
amichairamichair: (I did bzr branch lp:jockey, iirc)13:28
Riddellamichair: right that's the "upstream" branch, that gets merged with the ubuntu branch for release which adds in the debian/* bits13:28
Riddellamichair: it's best to work on the upstream branch13:28
Riddellbut then you'll need to merge or just copy the debian directory if you want to package it13:28
amichairRiddell: so I just use a bzr log message, and whomever will do the merge will add it to the changelog? can I put LP# references there too?13:29
Riddellamichair: yes I believe so13:29

amichairit's fun closing 5 bug reports with one line of code :-)13:34
amichairRiddell: btw, who's upstream in this case?13:36
amichairRiddell: oh also, so I need a --fixes bug in this case?13:37
Riddellamichair: upstream is pitti and ubuntu.  he likes to keep separate upstream and ubuntu branches in the hope that other distros will use it (even if the only difference in the branches is the packaging)13:39
amichairRiddell: ok, sorry for all the questions...13:40
Riddellquestions are good13:40
amichairRiddell: ok, one more :-)  : is pitti the one I should ask to review the branch and merge?13:40
Riddellamichair: might be worth checking if there's a "how to hack on jockey" wiki page or anything and if there isn't then making one13:41
Riddellamichair: pitti or me I guess, me if it's more fixing KDE UI bits, pitti if it's more about using jockey internals13:41
amichairRiddell: in that case... I've got work for u :-)13:42
RiddellJontheEchidna: you questioned if we need kubuntu_01_no_translate_pc_diff but we do else .pot files get full of strings from .pc (which is always made when using quilt), we need to add equivalent patches to several other packages13:51
JontheEchidnayeah, I figured that out during the merge. it needs to stay13:56
JontheEchidnathink we could upstream that? It's just a teeny argument to a regex13:56
JontheEchidnawell, not a regex13:57
RiddellJontheEchidna: I could just quietly commit it, it's concievably other people would also be using quilt13:57
Riddellkubuntu_06_user_disk_mounting I'm not sure what to do with, ervin has said in the past he's not keen on it, I wonder what other distros do13:59
Riddellkubuntu_68_remove_applet_confirmation I didn't even know we had, I'll send that to the plasma list13:59
Riddellkubuntu_80_kaction_qt_keys.diff depends on a patch in qt doesn't it?13:59
Riddelldebfx: do you know the status of that?14:00
JontheEchidnathe applet confirmation one needs some work. Any patch that has "Hack" in the comments needs work :P14:00
JontheEchidnawouldn't hurt to fire off a mail to p-d anyway I guess14:00
RiddellJontheEchidna: good merge anyway, uploading then sending relevant diffs to debian and upstream14:02
Riddelljust watch your indentation in the changelog :)14:02
JontheEchidnaRiddell: did I add the pc patch back to bzr?14:02
JontheEchidnayeah, looks like I did14:02

Quintasanlast update of taskjuggler Oct 20, 200919:28
ScottKIIRC, pimlibs wasn't a separate package in KDE3.19:29
neversfeldeI have a package that needs phonon-backend-xine or phonon-backend-gstreamer. It can't depend on it, because KDE people do not want phonon-backend-gstreamer, I suppose. Where is the right place to mention these packages Recommends or  Suggests?19:29
ScottKQuintasan: As I understand it, policykit integration for KDE is coming in KDE 4.4.19:29

QuintasanamgarchIn9: and anything prevents you from using kdm for GNOME session?19:50
amgarchIn9why shouldnt both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-destop coexist peacefully. I had them both installed over three realeases.19:51

Tm_Tif not, there's bug19:52
QuintasanamgarchIn9: but they install packages containing settings which may conflict19:52

amichairJontheEchidna: hehe... it had 5 duplicate bugs. it was a trivial gui thing. one of the bug reporters actually gave a correct analysis of the problem (I read it only after closing the bug, but it didn't take long anyway)23:03
Lureofir: nice and professional looking23:04
amichairJontheEchidna: the problem was that when the gui opened up or refreshed, the first item was highlighted, but not 'current' in the QT sense. that's it.23:04
JontheEchidnahighlighted but not selected... interesting23:04
amichairJontheEchidna: yes, qt has selectedItems and currentItem, they are not the same. iirc in windows there is visual feedback of this - selected items are highlighted, and the current item has a tiny dotted frame around it23:05
amichairJontheEchidna: anyway, u can look at the diff, the actual bug fix is one line, and I added a couple more for good measure :-)23:06

JontheEchidnaamichair: if there were a list of bugs that should be looked at by developers, would that be useful to you?23:31
amichairJontheEchidna: yep, what kind of list? like cherrypicking the most important/difficult/annoying bugs around?23:32
JontheEchidnain theory anything marked as "triaged" in the bug tracker for kde-related entries should have enough info to fix, but should there be an alternative list? (Maybe posted in the topic)23:32
amichairJontheEchidna: dunno what exactly, but working with the lp bugs the past week seemed more like working with a flat list than anything usefully prioritized23:33
amichairlp itself rocks though :-)23:33
JontheEchidnayeah, we're a bit short on hands there on bug triage... just me and, when he can, apachelogger23:34
amichairamichair: I'm really impressed with everything being integrated and ajaxy and stable and smooth... whoever done it, did a great job :-)23:34

amichairlots of dups, bugs with no info, wishes mixed up with bugs, gtk/kde/core all mixed up...23:36
amichairthere is room for improvement there23:36
JontheEchidnabinary package separation within the tracker is something I've wanted for a long time23:37
