nixternalwoohoo, I am actually writing fresh Kubuntu documentation...believe it or not! :)00:03
ScottKWoohoo.00:03
nixternaltotally deleted all previous Kubuntu documentation and started a brand new layout from scratch00:04
JontheEchidnaamichair: ping00:28
txwikingerhowdy y'all00:30
ScottKHowdy txwikinger.   Make it home OK?00:31
txwikingerHowdy ScottK... yes made it home00:31
txwikingerand you?00:31
ScottKYep.  Got home about two hours ago.00:31
txwikingerYeah.. I was here 4 hours ago but thought it would be wise to spend some quality time with family00:32
* txwikinger wonders if he should update the 170+ packages that come up in update manager since the beginning of the week00:35
JontheEchidnahttp://colin.guthr.ie/2009/11/pulseaudio-phonon-support-now-in-kde-trunk-and-heading-towards-4-4/ <- we may not have to do much of anything for the PA section of https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Specs/LucidPackaging00:41
ScottKHandy00:47
dtchenkeep in mind that the longer Kubuntu continues not to ship PA, the more work it ends up being for everyone00:49
dtchenwhich is ok, I suppose, for Kubuntu but rather hellish for people trying to get one stack00:50
ScottKdtchen: Given that it will be supported upstream now, I think it's probably reasonable to look pretty hard at shipping it in Lucid +1.  I don't think there's any chance of getting consensus around making it default for Lucid.00:54
dtchenScottK: right, I don't expect it to make it into Kubuntu or Xubuntu (or Lubuntu or $whatever) for Lucid00:55
dtchenI just wish people would stop whining about it already and help fix it00:56
nixternaleww, PA00:57
nixternal:p00:57
* nixternal will continue whining cuz he can :)00:58
dtchenyeah, I'm about to join you.00:58

nixternalhehe00:59
nixternaldr. pepper was my hurdle in the "stop drinking soda" campaign I launched at the beginning of this year01:00
nixternalI have done really good too, as I pretty much just drink water all of the time, except for coffee in the morning and chocolate milk after a bike ride01:00
dtchenwhat kind of generic dr pepper isn't soda?!01:00
nixternali went to the grocery store and they gave me a free can to try01:01

tsimpsonstill ugly11:41
apacheloggerQHash status = qdbus_cast<QStringHash>(message.arguments()[0]);11:44
apacheloggeras a matter of fact qhash is doing faster lookup than qmap, and since we dont need the entries to be stored in a particluar order qhash is superior11:44
tsimpsonright, I just sort of "default" to QMap :p11:45
markeymeh I hate not having comments on my blogs. you could write something like, "Mmmmh, yummy pizza!"11:45

apacheloggertsimpson: the gnome applet does manually fiddle with its visiblity ... I do think that we do not need to do that stuff for the superior knotificatonitem13:27
apacheloggersince its main difference from old ksystrayicon is the advanced visibility setting anyway13:27
apacheloggerdo you agree with that?13:27
Lureanybody know how to get backports approval for digikam? we are shipping beta5 in karmic and it hase some crasher issues13:27

amichairJontheEchidna: I'm not sure why this is under python-qt4, it looks to be in sp itself... I fixed a whole bunch of i18n related stuff, so it's very possibly that this one is included. the stack trace looks familiar, though they all look alike :-P13:50
JontheEchidnayeah, it's just a misfiled bug13:51
JontheEchidnaBut I think the essence of it is mishandled utf characters in the gpg key handling dialog13:51

JontheEchidnaoh, did you get your changes merged?13:57
amichairJontheEchidna: nope. bugged a bunch of ppl for a while, and gave up. stopped working on it for now, until someone will find the time (going too far from trunk leads to extra work down the line...)13:58
JontheEchidnadid you bug mvo about it?13:59
amichairhim I didn't bug, only nicely asked and gave the link :-)13:59

* apachelogger notes that now it even starts without too much hassle, if ubuntuone-auth is installed14:10
apacheloggerstill need to try a couple of times since it does not wait until the dbus stuff is up and running14:11
apacheloggeroh and I think one needs to manually make the syncdaemon connect :D14:11
* tsimpson did, and uploaded a file successfully (but not status notifications)14:12
tsimpsonKNotificationItem seems not to like me14:13
apacheloggerhm14:14
apacheloggertsimpson: any usefulness on the console?14:14
apacheloggerif all kdebug is turned on14:14
apacheloggerehm14:14
apacheloggeractivated14:14
apacheloggerturned on sounds way too weird14:14
apacheloggertsimpson: besides, the notification is done by KNotification14:15
apacheloggeroh, misread14:15
* apachelogger needs coffee and light14:15
tsimpsonI'm thinking it may be auto-closing or something14:16
tsimpsonnotifications work with the gnome client, just not with yours14:16
apacheloggeroh14:16
apacheloggertsimpson: you need to restart knotify14:16
apacheloggerkquitapp knotify; sleep 2; knotify4&14:17
apacheloggerfor some reason the notification doesnt go through unless knotify has the id listed14:17
apacheloggertsimpson: that of course implies that you have run make install once14:17
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: how do I update a cloned repo?14:20
* JontheEchidna is git noob14:20
tsimpsonapachelogger: still not working here14:20
tsimpsonwait, it installed to /usr/local, that may be it14:21
tsimpsonthere we go14:23
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: git merge would be an option14:24
JontheEchidnagit merge git://gitorious.org/ubuntuone-client-kde/ubuntuone-client-kde.git ?14:24
tsimpsonapachelogger: have you seen the type of message ConnectQueueChanged sends?14:24
tsimpsonClientApplet(9162) Applet::contentQueueChanged: QDBusMessage(type=Signal, service=":1.618", path="/status", interface="com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon.Status", member="ContentQueueChanged", signature="a{sa{ss}}", contents=([Argument: a{sa{ss}} {"head" = [Argument: a{ss} {"path" = "/home/stdin/Ubuntu One/file.txt", "command" = "Upload", "size" = "0"}], "Upload" = [Argument: a{ss} {"count" = "1", "size" = "0"}]}]) )14:25
apacheloggertsimpson: not implemented14:25
apacheloggerit listens on all signals of syncdaemon but only triggers action if something comes in via uploadstarted14:26
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: I suppose so14:26
tsimpsonthat is an upload14:26
JontheEchidnadidn't work :(14:26
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: you could probably also set that as git remote14:26
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: just configure it as origin and merge with origin then :P14:26
apacheloggertsimpson: yes, but contentqueuechanged gets emitted each time the queue changes14:27
apacheloggerwhereas uploadstarted only gets emitted when the daemon starts uploading14:27
apacheloggeranyhow14:27
apacheloggeryou need to look at debug output regarding uploadstarted14:27
tsimpsonthere is none :p /me adds some14:28
* apachelogger is wondering if we can implement the transfers like dolphin does14:32
apacheloggermakes more sense to have a progressbar I suppose14:32
tsimpsonapachelogger: I can't see any progress indication from ubuntuone, just uploadstarted and uploadfinished14:40
tsimpsonand I've connected all the signals I can see from com.ubuntuone.SyncDaemon /*14:41
apacheloggertsimpson: queuechanged is emitted each time the progress changes, isnt it?14:42
tsimpsonapachelogger: this the all the output I get from one upload: http://paste.ubuntu.com/325402/14:43
apacheloggertsimpson: well, no progress of transfer14:45
apacheloggerbut overall progress14:45
apacheloggeri.e. 2 of 10 files uploaded or stuff14:45
tsimpsonyeah, the gnome applet does that I think14:45
apacheloggerwe can do it in a superior fashion :P14:46

Quintasanhttp://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/RecordItNow?content=114610 <-- looks damn good14:53
apacheloggerQuintasan: well, it is laggy pyware so why would we want to have qt-recordmydesktop in the repos :P14:54
piko_Hello, is that possible that kubuntu suffers from problems with slow mutexes? I tried kubuntu with several desktop environments (KDE, Xfce) and I have serious problems with application starting or with any GUI-based program (slow response time to time, sometimes even locking of GUI for several seconds). Is that observed behavior or is it only me?14:59
piko_The thing is that it happens even when system is quite unloaded15:00
Quintasanapachelogger: how about RecordItNow? It's written in awesome c++ :P15:08
apacheloggerQuintasan: if recordmydesktop was a library with stable API, then all hail the recorditnow15:08
apacheloggerbut since it is not I forsee compability problems15:09
apacheloggerof course I am no oracle, so I might be wrong15:09
Quintasanfirst contact seems okay15:09
Quintasanlet me do some more testing15:09

DarkwingDuckHow do you set a milestone with launchpad?17:44
nixternaleven if we were to fix the bugs in karmic docs it wouldn't matter, since those docs are from KDE 3.5 days :/17:44

jussi01maco: did you get the DVD working? or is it evil still??18:12
jussi01JontheEchidna: lol18:12
dtchenalthough what's with Karen Gillian's crazy police outfit?18:12
macojussi01: no i did not. dtchen thinks its my hardware. but ive watched other dvds on here18:12
jussi01maco dvd fail :P18:13
macodtchen: i saw someone edited the photo so she'd have matt smith's legs-in-suit and he'd have her legs in that mini skirt18:13
JontheEchidnayeah, I wish the 9th could have stayed on for a few more seasons18:13
dtchenmaco: the CoE DVD has pretty crazy copy protection18:13
dtchenDVDs*18:13
macodtchen: how'd you make them work on your lappy?18:13
dtchenmaco: black magic18:13
dtchenit took mplayer and a lot of decss caching18:14
macohuh?18:14
maco....why does mplayer spit things at me when i try to launch it. i KNOW it has a gui18:14
dtchenls ~/.dvdcss/18:14
dtchenmplayer-nogui installed? :-)18:15
macoi installed normal mplayer package18:16
macodoes that pull in -nogui and make it default for some silly reason?18:16
dtchen'gmplayer'?18:18
macoi see18:18
macosilly18:18
macoit tells me "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."18:19
dtchen# vo=xv,x11 is the defautl18:20
macoso i have to say gmplayer vo=xv,x11 to make it work?18:21
dtchenno, that's the default18:21
dtchen(/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf)18:21
dtchenyou can override it in ~/.mplayer/config18:21
dtchennot sure if xv is broken for your hw18:21
dtchen(it shouldn't be?) Anyhow, -vo=x11 may work18:22
macodtchen: this is with plain "gmplayer" http://paste.ubuntu.com/325527/18:28
dtchenyou might want to use dvdnav instead of dvd18:29
dtchenI really have no clue WRT gmplayer; I use mplayer.18:29
macowhat? dvdnav? i have that lib installed...18:29
dtchennono, mplayer dvdnav://118:30
dtchenand really, if you think man pages are frightening, just look at mplayer(1)18:30
dtchenhave 7500 lines!18:30
macodtchen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/325528/18:30
macooh18:30
macoheyyyyyyyy that seems to work!18:31
macoumm i see the dvd menu18:31
maconow what?18:31
dtchen(seriously?)18:31
jussi01!yay | maco18:31
ubottumaco: Glad you made it! :-)18:31
macodtchen: i tried clicking on "play all" but it just said18:32
macoNo bind found for key 'MOUSE_BTN0'.-MOUSE_BTN0_DBL18:32
macoNo bind found for key 'MOUSE_BTN0_DBL'.                          018:32
macoand didnt actually play18:32
dtchenoh, cursor position is a PITA18:32
dtchenand I never have much luck with dvdnav; I end up having to restart mplayer constantly18:32
macoenter key!18:33
macook now it looks like totem18:33
macoall garbled18:33
dtchensilly Lunix!18:34
macoi mean, sound works right unlike totem, but the image looks like im not wearing my glasses18:34
dtchenyou probably ain't wearing yo' glasses!18:34
macoi am!18:34
dtchenI'm really quite surprised that kaffeine doesn't work18:34
dtchenkaffeine (for me) was far more reliable than GSt or mplayer18:35
macoor rather, it looks like im not wearing my glasses and have gone color blind, possibly tripping on acid18:35
macobecause theres  a lot of odd colours showing up18:35
dtchenoh, that's probably x1118:35
Tm_Tdtchen: because of xine?18:35
dtchenTm_T: yes, not until *very* recently was dvd + GSt even approachably usable18:36
macoactually a little less recently (back around karmic alpha2) it was much more usable than it is now :P18:36
macoboo!18:37
macokaffeine detaches from the terminal so i dont think ill get to see any error output spew from it18:38
maconevermind. it still spew18:38
apacheloggerif(p->url(p->closestItem(url)) != url)18:39
apacheloggerthat looks a bit like C :D18:39
macook here's what kaffeine outputs after it gets past the "welcome to the bbc" stuff, where it *should* show the dvd menu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/325532/18:40
macoso uh right now...gstreamer is doing hella better than xine18:42
ScottKRiddell: FYI, you are still Riddelll on #debian-qt-kde18:42
macoat least gstreamer has working audio and funny images. xine has neither18:42
dtchenmaco: I think you can change the videosink for GSt18:42
apacheloggerJontheEchidna, tsimpson: now startup should actually be working18:59
apacheloggerwell, unless the python auth stuff segfaults, which happens at times18:59
macodtchen: mplayer -vo help ....isnt telling me a whole lot. i tried sdl. that was bad too19:01
ryanakcaAre there any Kubuntu specific podcasts we could link to from the website?19:29
Riddelldon't think so19:37
RiddellI did an interview once but that was years19:37
RiddellI did an interview once but that was years ago19:37
ryanakcaofir__: ^^19:39
dtchenwhat about starting a monthly or weekly Kubuntu podcast?19:39
Tm_Tplease do19:40
* ryanakca thinks dtchen just volunteered himself to run it19:41
dtchene.g., split development/interesting user stuff19:41
ryanakcaHe is the multimedia guy after all :)19:41
dtchenryanakca: ...except I don't use Kubuntu!19:41
dtchencough.19:41
nixternal/kick dtchen19:41
ryanakcadtchen: *cough* sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop *cough*19:42
nixternal;p19:42
dtchento be honest, my DE is a mutt of window managers and hellish components19:42
ryanakcaProblem solved19:42
dtchenryanakca: oh I have that.19:42
nixternalthere are a couple of podcasts done where kubuntu was dicussed...i know i have done a couple this year...but a kubuntu specific podcast I haven't heard of19:42
dtchennixternal: I think it would be a good draw. Not even Ubuntu development has such a podcast.19:43
nixternalmaybe we can talk to the Ubuntu UK folks and see if they could add a "Kubuntu" section to their podcasts where they could give details/news/whatever19:43
ryanakcanixternal: Were you still interested in working on that feature tour you volunteered to do before release?19:43
dtchenI wonder if seele could be roped into some short-fuse usability-type.19:43
nixternalI think imbrandon and I were the only ones to ever do it, back in like 200519:43
* ryanakca hasn't seen imbrandon in ages19:44
nixternalryanakca: ya, but I would like to see a new site or something...i can at least provide the text and let you or whoever do the markup19:44
nixternalwhen the fridge had nobody working on it, imbrandon and I started a website and podcast for Ubuntu....eventually sabdfl asked him and I to take over the fridge and do the same thing...but people who were in charge of the fridge prevented us from doing so19:45
ryanakcanixternal: Allow me to introduce you to ofir__ , he's interested in doing the theming / layout19:47
ryanakcaofir__: Allow me to introduce you to nixternal :)19:47
nixternalhehe, is that the one layout you that was linked to recently, I believe by you during UDS?19:48
ryanakcanixternal: Yes19:48
nixternalgroovy19:48
ofir__hello19:48
ofir__nixternal: you some stuff ready?19:49
ofir__*have some19:49
nixternalnothing :)  I need to do it as I have said I would do it for about 6 months now :)19:50
Riddellooh it's ofir__19:50
* ryanakca grins19:50
ofir__hello Riddell19:50
shtylmanryanakca: do you have a link to what the new kubuntu website will look like?19:50
ofir__nixternal: you have some ideas for the feature tour?19:50
ryanakcaofir__: Does the screenshot you sent me a few weeks ago still match what you currently have?19:51
ofir__Yeah19:51
ryanakcashtylman: ofir__ is working on the new theme.19:52
shtylmancool19:52
nixternaltext wise just cover the major features. web browsing, emailing, chatting, social crap, office stuff, multimedia....this would be like a basic tour or the default tour with linkage to more advanced stuff that is available possibly19:52
ryanakcashtylman: http://ryanak.ca/~ryan/ofir-website.png19:52
shtylmanO.O19:53
shtylmanwow19:53
shtylmanI like it... no no... I LOVE it :)19:53
shtylmanexcept that wallpaper ... too windows XP like :)19:53
ofir__thanks shtylman19:53
shtylmanofir__: nice work19:53
ofir__yes, it will be replaced be a native one :)19:53
shtylmangood19:54
ryanakcaRiddell: Do we still need the Copyright (C) 2009 at the bottom of the website? Since none of us are Canonical employees and none of us have assigned copyright to Canonical (unless you have), I don't know how that works out. The trademark blurb can stay though19:54
nixternalhehe shtylman many said the same thing...but that is the wallpaper used in screenshots on KDE's website19:54
shtylmannixternal: hmmm...19:54
nixternalwhich you would think they would use the default wallpaper and themes in their screenshots19:54
shtylmanyea...weird19:54
shtylmanthat download icon needs some work... its not as "crisp" as the other ones19:55
ryanakcaThe "Copyright (C) 2005-2009 Canonical Ltd." blurb19:55
ofir__yes, maybe I will drop some shadow...19:55
ofir__ryanakca: the kubuntu logo is a trademark?19:56
* apachelogger falls off chair19:57
apacheloggerkjob is overly complex -.-19:57
apacheloggerenough ubuntuone for today19:57
ryanakcaofir__: Both the logo and the name are trademarks19:57
ofir__So some copyright notice should be placed.19:58
ofir__Just to know people about the fact that they are trademarked19:58
ryanakcaofir__: Wouldn't it just be "Kubuntu and Canonical are registered trademarks of Canonical Ltd." ?19:58
ofir__ryanakca: Yes, just like in ubuntu.com19:59
amichairofir__: the idea came up to make the screenshot an animated gif slideshow (a la ubuntu homepage), so users can get a better feel for various work scenarios20:00
ofir__amichair: it will be, but I need good screenshot20:01
ofir__amichair: I hope that nixternal will provide them. Hmm...20:01
ofir__:)20:01
amichair:-)20:01
imbezolanyone have issues with amarok playing just one song in the playlist and then stopping?20:01
apacheloggerNightrose: ^ :D20:03
nixternaldon't make an animated .gif...you can do the slideshow with a few lines of jquery and some images :)20:03
Nightrose*grumble*20:03
Nightroseimbezol: change phonon backend20:03
macoew javascript20:03
nixternalthough I guess the people with tinfoil hats are anti-javascript20:03
nixternallike maco :p20:03
macoyes!20:03
amichairanimated gif is so 1992... what was I thinking? ;-)20:03
imbezolNightrose: how does one do that?20:03
maconixternal: i stopped doing webdesign because javascript and flash are too popular20:04
Nightroseamarok settings20:04
maconixternal: websites should work in lynx, goshdarnit!20:04
Nightrosethere is playback or something like that somehwere20:04
macooh oh20:04
macofor april fools, can we make lynx the default web browser in lucid lynx?20:04
imbezolnightrose: configure amarok -> playback -> sound system configuration -> backend, then i have xine in the list, that's it.20:04
nixternalmaco: w3m > lynx20:05
Tm_Tnixternal: irrelevant20:05
macoBUT its called Lucid Lynx20:05
nixternalwho goes to www.kubuntu.org from a server?20:05
Tm_Tnixternal: I do20:05
macomaybe for the Wild W3m release w3m can be the default browser20:05
apacheloggerme too20:06
amichairI will too, if it helps :-)20:06
nixternalyou can add code to say "if lynx|w3m|other then spit out a damn foo.txt file"20:06
Nightroseimbezol: install phonon gstreamer backend20:07
amichairwe're only mising an ascii-art screenshot, and we're good to go20:07
nixternalbrowsing with lynx, w3m, or whatever else cli browsers there are, is no longer in stayle...replace the green and black setup in the terminal already20:07
nixternalamichair: haha, I have an ascii-art screenshot somewhere20:08
Tm_Tamichair: that's it, ascii-lookalike plasma theme20:08
amichairnixternal: then.... we're good to go! :-P20:08
nixternalI was playing with gimp plugins and did that, a long time ago20:08
nixternalthough it was probably with kde 3.5 :)20:08
* Tm_T is confused with cmake20:08
ryanakcamaco: Haha, sounds like a good plan :)20:09
nixternalyikes, it has been a long time since I used w3m or lynx...and it is all still ugly20:10
* ryanakca used w3m regularly a year ago20:11
amichairvlc has an ascii art output module iirc - we can grab a video with compositing and all and let the fun begin20:11
nixternalheh, I watched an F1 race with vlc and that plugin when we were doing distributed storage work at the company I used to work for20:12
macowait wait whose screenshot is that?20:13
maco"installing softwares"?20:13
macosince when is software plural?20:13
maco*especially* plural with an s? its warez!20:13
amichairmaybe we can show latest news (like in old site) instead of tip of the day?20:21
ghostcubehi peoples any news for the crashing printer applet so far20:22
ofirnixternal: are you here?20:27
amichairis there a mechanisms that syncs or notifies new releases in debian, or is everything done manually?20:31
amichairreleases of packages, that is20:32
jtechidnaPackages that are unmodified in Ubuntu are automatically synced until DebianImportFreeze each cycle20:34
jtechidnanew packages are semi-automatic, but I think an archive admin does have to look at those manually (they will be synced though)20:35
amichairso why is youtube-dl so old?20:35
jtechidnaI like keeping track of things here: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools20:35
jtechidnadunno why that one is so old20:38
Tm_Tamichair: is it old in debian too?20:38
jtechidnaIt's been updated in sid since at least jaunty times20:39
jtechidnaby all reckoning it should have been picked up in the autosync then20:39
amichairand in karmic/lucid it's still 2008.03 version20:39
jtechidnaoh, wait20:40
jtechidnaIt was really old until it was updated after our DebianImportFreeze20:40
amichairooh, lp just died20:40
macojtechidna: you shrunk20:40
jtechidnaand since it's not in Debian testing yet it's not autosyncing. (Since 10.04 is based of of Debian testing since its an lts)20:40
jtechidnaheh, yeah. I'm away from my home compy at the moment, using an alt. nick20:41
amichairjtechidna: will it get there in time? what's the procedure?20:42
amichairit's broken in karmic, with youtube changing slightly in 20 months time :-/20:42
jtechidnarequestsync youtube-dl lucid <- assuming you ahve ubuntu-dev-tools installed20:43
jtechidnafrom karmic-backports20:43
amichairwhat does that do?20:43
jtechidnaoh, it's a nice little wizard for filing sync requests20:44
amichairthere's already a bug open on this for quite a while... does it do somthing other than that?20:44
jtechidnaoh, there's a sync request already open for it?20:44
amichairwell there's a bug, not sure what makes it a sync request technically. if lp wasn't dead, I'd check it20:45
jtechidnaOk, it's not a formal sync request so the archive admin group wasn't subscribed to the bug so they never saw it20:46
amichairthere a something sync subscriber there, not sure where it leads20:47
jtechidnaso the current version is broken?20:47
amichairat least parts of it, dunno. I can't download anything, and could before, and the author in the bug reports says it's all fixed in newer versions (which are old themselves)20:48
amichaira youtube site change20:48
jtechidnameh, X crash20:50
amichairno google tech talks for me today :-(20:50
jtechidnaOk, so the command would be: requestsync -d sid youtube-dl lucid20:51
jtechidnaif it gives you some crap about firewalls and ports just throw on the --lp flag20:51
amichairjtechidna: so basically it opens an lp bug with autosync subscribed?20:52
jtechidnaIf you're an MOTU it opens up a lp bug with the archive admins subscribed20:52
amichairand if not?20:53
jtechidnaif you're not it will subscribe universe-sponsors so that an MOTU can ack your request, then they will subscribe the archive admins20:53
jtechidnawho will then manually sync the package from debian.20:53
amichairok then, I'll give it a shot20:54
jtechidnaautosyncing doesn't apply here since 10.04 is being based off of Debian squeeze (testing) instead of Debian unstable (sid)20:54
jtechidnaand youtube-dl isn't in squeeze yet20:54
jtechidnaprobably not stable enough or whatever20:54
amichairjtechidna: what about the newer gnupg which fixed the sp crashes?20:55
amichairand any chance of backporting youtube-dl to karmic?20:56
jtechidnawhich version of gnupg is that?20:56
amichairummmm....20:56
amichairthe one linked from the bug report :-)20:56
jtechidnagotta go, bbl20:57
amichaircya :-)20:58
jtechidnalooks like somebody will have to merge gnupg since it's modified in Ubuntu20:58
jtechidnaanyways, later.20:58
DarkwingDucknixternal: ping22:25
logipunkScottK & apachelogger: Sorry I've been MIA.22:34
logipunkDealing with stuff offline.22:34
nixternalDarkwingDuck: pong?22:51
DarkwingDuckSweet you are here.22:52
DarkwingDuckActually, my questions are in the email I just dropped...22:52
DarkwingDuckHowever, I was going to ask the process of docs for Lucid. When they drop an alpha do we start looking into what is going to be there and update the docs accordingly?22:54
DarkwingDuckadding new ones when needed correct?22:54
nixternalyou got it :)22:58
nixternalwe tend to know most of the stuff up front, we typically just hold off on images towards the end22:59
DarkwingDuckOkay sweet. So, now the question is when is kubuntu-docs updated so I can start fixing some of these bugs. :P23:00
DarkwingDucksee? I23:01
DarkwingDuckm finally figuring this all out23:01
DarkwingDuckXML, thats the easy part23:02
nixternalas soon as kubuntu is released, we start the next development cycle and branch the old docs to their respective version, and then we can continue working with the trunk branch then23:07
nixternalhttp://www.nixternal.com/kubuntu/about/C/index.html23:09
nixternalw00t! I got the build system spitting out the HTML to host online :)23:09
ryanakcanixternal: Cool23:09
ryanakcanixternal: Why does all the Ubuntu documentation seem to have a /C/ somewhere in its path?23:10
nixternalryanakca: the way I have it now though, it wouldn't use the Kubuntu website theme23:10
ryanakcaWhy not choose something kool, like /K/ ?23:10
nixternalryanakca: C == english :)23:10
ryanakcaAh23:10
nixternalLANG = C23:10
* ryanakca nods23:10
nixternalwhich also means we will have translated docs in the future :)23:11
* DarkwingDuck crosses his fingers on that one23:11
nixternalie: es/index.html for espanol :)23:11
nixternalso we can create a custom index on the website with a language drop down, and it will take them to the docs for their language :)23:11
ryanakcanixternal: You've got five months to get it done :)23:12
DarkwingDucklol23:12
nixternalmuhahaha23:12
DarkwingDucknixternal: is this using the new backend structure?23:13
nixternalyup23:13
* DarkwingDuck smiles23:13
DarkwingDuckThat's all the docs we currently have?23:13
nixternalhaha, yup, just an about page is completed :)23:13
nixternalthe rest are blanks23:14
nixternalhttp://www.nixternal.com/kubuntu/23:14
DarkwingDuckw...o...w...23:14
nixternalyeah, there is a couple months of work yet for the docs to be remotely ready for translating...hopefully sooner23:14
DarkwingDuckOkay sweet. So, when we get it updated to the Lucid side of things we can really start. Light the fires and kick the tires23:15
nixternalI can typically commit to a doc or 2 a week, as I can write up a doc in just a few hours time23:15
nixternalwe need to light the fires and kick the tires right now :)23:15
DarkwingDuckI've started.23:15
nixternallp:kubuntu-docs is Lucid docs23:15
DarkwingDuckbut, didn't you say hold off till the new structure was uploaded there?23:16
nixternalit is uploaded :)23:16
DarkwingDuckI guess it doesn't... oh sweet/23:16
nixternaldid that yesterday23:16
DarkwingDuckThen again. I'm still gonna flood you and Jjeese with XML files till I can commit them myself.23:16
nixternalmy web server doesn't have bzr installed :/23:17
DarkwingDuckeek23:17
