fader_You've gotta get fixed up so I can start abusing you again!13:56
davmor3you can abuse me but I'll just ignore you :P13:57
cr3davmor3: that defeats the purpose of abusing you though14:04
cr3... or abusing anyone for that matter14:05
davmor3cr3: yeah but it makes fader_ feel useful :)14:05
fader_I need *something* to feel useful about!14:05

davmor3yes I noticed that but only if your in the top third of the list try scrolling about 2/3's of the way down and it stays there I think14:09
czajkowskidavmor3: hmm , add that to ticket?14:11

faganthanks marjo for accepting me into the qa team group :)15:09
davmor3so guys how did uds go did you get some ideas?15:11
* czajkowski has a long to do list15:11
fagandavmor3: yep loads of them15:11
davmor3cool15:12
fagandavmor3: I loved the bug day ideas15:13
davmor3don't we already have that?15:13
faganBut to make them better15:13
marjofagan: welcome!15:13
faganand to advertise them more15:13
fagan:D15:13
davmor3:D15:14
czajkowskiget moer community involvement15:15
faganczajkowski: thats the idea15:16
faganhaving small bug days once a week and big bug days once a month15:17
faganSo we can get to packages we may not have got to before15:17
davmor3cool15:18
czajkowskidavmor3: great email re fspot15:19
davmor3well15:19
davmor3I had a look at them after seeing the video about default apps15:21
czajkowskinods15:23
faganWe need to test pitivi a lot when its put it15:24
fagan*in15:24
davmor3need to find the time to do lots of stuff and test15:27
fagandavmor3: well it runs and it makes video using ogg correctly15:27
faganbut doing harder stuff is what we need15:27
* fagan just made a bug against checkbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox/+bug/48714315:28
ubot4Launchpad bug 487143 in checkbox "More specific hardware questions shouldnt be asked" [Undecided,New]15:28
davmor3fagan: Yes demands time though15:30
faganyep15:30
* fagan thinks the main functionality is fine for pitivi 15:31
fagan(except no one can pronounce its name)15:32
davmor3battery dying15:32
davmor3why not ask the guy that made it15:32
davmor3to video himself saying it in a linus linux stylee15:33
faganha15:36
faganbut im very impressed with it and collabora have put a lot of work into it15:37
faganIt even converts video too15:38
astechgeekDo you use the same test cases for Lucid as Karmic?16:12
cr3moustafaC: by the way, I just pushed changes to the message branch relating to checkbox.log16:14
cr3fagan: MySQL upgrade testing: http://www.elabs7.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=ax0v,j91v,33o,chzk,la7g,b3mp,9gne16:14
cr3fader_: ^^^16:14
cr3darn autocomplete...16:14
fader_astechgeek: At the moment yes; if you notice anything that isn't correct please let us know :)16:14
faganhah16:15
cr3fagan: I hope it'll turn out to be interesting for you too :)16:15
* fagan looks16:15
fagancr3: nope :)16:16
fader_cr3: Interesting.  And probably largely automatable :)16:16

gormuxhello18:40
gormuxis there a repository with KDE 4.4 ?18:40
gormuxor do I have to compile it myself ?18:40
sbeattiegormux: you might have better luck asking in #kubuntu.18:41
gormuxah, yeah, not a bad idea :)18:43

faganI just found ubuntu-qa-tools in synaptic whats in it?19:08
* fagan investigates19:14
faganAh I didnt see the post on blog.qa.ubuntu.com19:18
fader_fagan: It's a collection of tools useful for testing Ubuntu.  I don't use all of them, but there's a script in there to keep ISOs rsync'd that is quite useful at least19:28
faganfader_: I didnt know I just download the isos manually19:28
faganill fiddle about with the qa tools and bug hugger and see if I can triage bugs faster19:29
* fagan is going to check on a few bugs that havent had activity in a while19:31
sbeattiefagan: unfortunately, the ubuntu-qa-tools package is out of date with respect to the bzr branch at https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol/ubuntu-qa-tools/master19:32
faganIm on lucid could someone upload a more up to date version?19:32
moustafaCIs Lucid even remotely available?19:34
faganmoustafaC: im using it so yes its available19:34
faganI had to add the sources manually though19:35
sbeattiemoustafaC: sure; it's just not much of a deviation from karmic at the moment.19:35
astechgeekinstalling the alternate-amd64.iso went well19:35
faganis checkbox still using libglade?19:35
=== nperry_ is now known as nperry
moustafaCsbeatty, fagan : I see.  To me, a new distro isn't a new distro until there are enough changes to make it so.19:36
faganWell I like testing early19:36
faganplus the new features for lucid will arrive before alpha 219:37
faganit would be great if launchpad's api was faster19:46
faganto contribute to checkbox do I have to sign the canonical contributor agreement ?19:54
fader_fagan: My guess is yes, but cr3 might be in a better position to answer this.19:56
fader_cr3: ^^19:56
cr3fagan: any significant amount of code, I would imagine so19:56
fagancr3: hmmm ill google it19:57
cr3fagan: yes, libglade is still being used. since the interface is rather simple, and I would like to keep it that way as much as possible, I would like to consider using straight gtk instead of having to maintain two branches: one for glade and another for gtkbuilder19:58
faganWell I wouldnt think it would be a hell of amount of changes ill have a look at the code and see19:59
cr3fagan: there's already a contribution for gtkbuilder19:59
faganOh cool20:00
cr3fagan: the problem is that maintaining two branches would actually be a "hell of amount" more overhead than the changes themselves20:00
faganHow so?20:00
cr3I still want new versions of checkbox to be installable on all supported versions20:01
cr3... of ubuntu20:01
fagancheckbox isnt listed under the contributor agreement20:01
cr3so, if everytime I add a new test I need to update two branches, which is no fun20:01
fagancr3: well im sure the desktop team would like not to be shipping deprecated librarys so maybe try ship the gtkbuilder for lucid?20:03
cr3fagan: "I would like to consider using straight gtk instead"20:03
cr3are you saying that's not possible?20:03
faganAh it would20:04
cr3fagan: I'm not saying it's necessarily possible though :) I'm mostly curious to explore that possibility before settling on any particular technical solution20:05
cr3where "possible" should read: reasonable or feasible or sane :)20:05
faganwell its easier just to use gtkbuilder but just using pygtk would be ok too20:05
faganpygtk just takes a little longer20:05
cr3I think there's potential considering the interface is intended to remain rather straightforward20:06
cr3for example, I don't foresee needing menus and so forth20:06
faganTrue20:06
cr3fagan: also, I don't think clutter has something like gtkbuilder nor glade, so perhaps that extrapolating the current code into straight gtk could help create another interface using clutk20:09
cr3... for unr20:09
cr3a qt interface is already being worked on, so this release will probably see custom interfaces for kde and unr20:10
faganwell we dont need to make a clutter interface20:10
faganI dont think any projects have one yet20:10
cr3fagan: it would be cute for people to have their unr usb image and run checkbox before buying a netbook :)20:10
fader_IIRC Clutter relies on OpenGL, which would make it a poor choice for a [primary] checkbox UI20:11
cr3if we're the first, maybe we'll get more attention than the others :)20:11
cr3fader_: ubuntu would still rely on checkbox-gtk, just unr which already relies on opengl could provide checkbox-clutter20:11
faganclutter is very complicated20:11
faganfor coding I mean20:12
cr3fagan: neil patel informed me that he has a library that makes programming clutter almost like gtk20:12
fader_cr3: I think UNR^HE is dropping the reliance on Clutter, as some ARM systems will not have OpenGL support20:12
cr3I think it's "clutk", mentionned above20:12
faganah that would be interesting20:12
cr3fader_: I seriously doubt the launcher will be rewritten without clutter20:13
cr3fagan: that library is basically what got me interested, otherwise I would totally agree with you and I wouldn't bother with clutter myself20:13
faganwe shouldnt switch to it before gnome 3 though20:14
fader_cr3: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-lucid-une-2d-launcher20:17
faganARM should be able to use OpenGL20:20
cr3fader_: I wouldn't be surprised that clutk is the first step towards creating an abstraction layer where the same launcher code can be used wither with clutter or gtk20:20
cr3if neil were around, we could ask directly :)20:21
fader_cr3: Yeah, no idea about the technical implementation; just reporting what I heard at UDS20:21
faganfader_: hmmm did we meet at the UDS?20:21
* fagan is bad with names20:21
cr3it would be rather unfortunate if this requirement implicated a significant rewrite :(20:21
fader_fagan: Yeah, me too.  Got a launchpad page with a pic or anything?20:22
fader_Mine no longer looks much like me :)20:22
fader_cr3: You're volunteering, right? :D20:22
* fagan has enough on his plade20:23
fagan*plate20:23
cr3fader_: dude, I no longer see my picture on launchpad.net/~cr320:23
cr3fader_: yeah, I'm kinda volunterring mostly out of curiosity20:23
faganMine still looks like me20:23
fader_cr3: Huh, mine seems to have vanished as well20:24
faganOh they removed the big pictures20:24
