macowhen i went silent in the middle of the FS convo, i was walking to the grocery store. i spent that walk (and the shopping time) on the phone with a friend who does FS hackery. she doesnt understand why anyone would use ext4 anyway.00:01
txwikingerwhy wouldn't they maco?00:04
macoi said "its fast" she goes "but it ate your data" "but i can boot in under 15 seconds" "but it ate your data"00:05
txwikingerpretty hungry fela00:05
txwikinger+l00:06
dtchenboot speed is important for some people00:07
macothough at the moment my / is ext3 because im on the laptop that has a broken cd drive and thus cant be easily reinstalled00:08
macoya know. when ext4 eats /   ...again00:08
macodtchen: and yes, thisd be valerie00:09

nixternalhey, I am fixing up our todo list, don't edit :)00:28
DarkwingDuckKK00:29
DarkwingDuckOh, nixternal I still need to send out that email.00:29
nixternalDarkwingDuck: hold off on that00:30
nixternalI am restructuring some stuff now..then I am going to fire off an email asking for a current report from everyone00:31
DarkwingDuckahhh. Okay.00:31
nixternalRiddell: Nine == kubuntu ninjas on the todo list I take it?00:31
Riddellnixternal: hmm?00:31
nixternals/Nine/Ninja00:31
nixternalI am fairly stupid today00:32
nixternalunlike every day :)00:32
Riddellyes00:32
nixternalgotcha00:32
DarkwingDucksuper cow powers? :D00:32
skreechnixternal: Actually I think most of the time you are unfairly stupid00:34
DarkwingDuckI'm about to drop this stupid computer on it's head00:34
nixternalok, todo list fixed00:34
* DarkwingDuck wanders off to look at it00:34
nixternalDarkwingDuck: our todo items are now at Kubuntu/Todo/Lucid on that bottom00:35
nixternalI have redirected Kubuntu/Documentation/Lucid/Todo to current page ^^00:35
nixternalScottK: going to work on kdeedu now00:36
DarkwingDucknixternal: Looks good other then loosing half of the wiki pages links for whe is taking care of the topics00:37
nixternalyeah...they are easy enough to find00:37
DarkwingDuckTrueish :) What are we looking for as a projected deadline?00:38
DarkwingDuckbecause I know that we need time to get it to the translators00:41
* DarkwingDuck mutters at his netbook00:42
* Kubuntiac_ tests Quassel to see if it's behaving...00:43
macoKubuntiac_: nope. youre invisible. didnt see that /me message at all00:43
Kubuntiac_:P00:43
DarkwingDuckKubuntiac_: I think it works :D00:44
Kubuntiac_yathinks?00:44
DarkwingDuckKubuntiac_: at times ;)00:44
Kubuntiac_ouch00:44
DarkwingDuckhehehe00:45
DarkwingDuckall I know is that the upgrade to 4.3.80 is being a major pain right now00:45
Kubuntiac_I try not to do it too much. Bad for the brain, you know.00:45
DarkwingDuckKubuntiac_: I hear ya... Plus I work in a job that doesn't require too many brains00:46
Kubuntiac_:)00:46
nixternalholy shit...that's all00:46
Kubuntiac_??00:46
DarkwingDuckOkay, without using apt-get upgrade, dist-upgrade what is the one package to upgrade to 4.3.80?00:47
Kubuntiac_DarkwingDuck: Sorry. Don't know.00:50
nixternalScottK: that list-missing list is more than cantor and rocs :)00:50
Kubuntiac_Anyone have an idea of when we're likely to see a package for xserver-xorg-input-aiptek in Lucid?00:50
nixternalKubuntiac_: wrong channel for that question :)  you need to speak with the x people on that one00:51
Kubuntiac_k thx. I'll ask over there00:51
Kubuntiac_Why would they be handling our packaging though?00:52
Kubuntiac_This is something already in Karmic00:52
nixternalnot those x guys...the ubuntu x guys :)00:53
Kubuntiac_Ahhhhh... of course00:54
Kubuntiac_Lotta X (wo)men goin' around I guess... ;)00:54
Kubuntiac_Thx!00:54
DarkwingDuckargg00:56
verbalshadow_http://pastebin.ca/1710384 <- ubiquity bug not sure it is kubuntu specific00:56
DarkwingDuckOkay, lets see if fixing it this way will work...00:58
DarkwingDuckNope01:01
DarkwingDuckhmmm,01:01
nixternalkdedu @ 180kB/s sucks01:17
nixternalkdeedu that is01:17
dtchenbeats 5.5 kB/s01:19
nixternalhrmm, where is phonon from kde at in lucid?02:11
nixternalJontheEchidna: glad you showed up...eveyrone else is gone :)  what is the deal with phonon in lucid? I can't build anything cuz the phonon is qt and not kde02:17
JontheEchidnasandsmark is working on a patch for that02:18
JontheEchidnasandsmark == current phonon maintainer02:18
nixternalhrmm02:19
nixternalso how are we building packages then for kde4? ie. kdeedu that I am working on for the 2 new binaries02:19
JontheEchidnaonly kdebase-runtime fails to build without kde phonon02:19
nixternalkdeedu is failing as well02:20
JontheEchidnaand luckily it has a KDE_ENABLE_MULTIMEDIA switch we can throw to castrate the phonon config02:20
nixternalerror: Phonon/MediaObject: No such file or directory02:20
JontheEchidnaanyways, we're pretty much screwed until Qt phonon can be patched to have the new api methods02:21
nixternalI want to know how ScottK figured out the list-missing on kdeedu02:23
JontheEchidnafigured out?02:25
=== JontheEchidna changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Lucid Alpha 1 Released! | Kubuntu has the Doctor on the brain | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Todo
JontheEchidnano space between 1 and R :P02:25
skreechJontheEchidna: are we waiting on that for the Karmic release?02:27
JontheEchidnadunno what's up with karmic packages; I've not been involved with the backports tbh02:27
* JontheEchidna restarts X, to fiddle with xorg.conf02:28
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
skreechDoes anyone have skype?02:36
skreechIt's gone pyscho since Qt 4.602:37
nixternalhrmm02:38
txwikingerwhy does launchpad say that kdewebdev in karmic has version Karmic (4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1): main/kde but apt-cache policy says 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu4?02:41
skreechIt throws out network messages like 6 a second02:41
nixternalahhhhhhhhhh, I see with phonon02:41
nixternalJontheEchidna: I take it the libqt4-phonon* packages were stripped purposely?02:41
nixternalis the qt/kde phonon work documented anywhere for us? so I can read to figure out why stuff is getting patched02:42
JontheEchidnayeah, Debian thought that keeping libphonon-* was a better idea so we made those transitional packages02:43
JontheEchidnawell, keeping the name libphonon-*02:44
nixternalahh, OK02:45
JontheEchidnaWanna hear my attempt to explain the phonon mess?02:46
* skreech gets popKorn02:48
JontheEchidnaOk, here it goes: Currently phonon development takes place in the kdesupport branch in KDE02:50
JontheEchidnaKDE developers, not being distributions, have no trouble compiling phonon from kdesupport since it meets all their needs.02:50
JontheEchidnaDistributions, however, cannot compile libphonon from kdesupport, since they need to compile it in Qt to be able to get many Qt features essential for a distribution.02:51
JontheEchidnaThese features include: Any phonon support at all in pure Qt apps, PyQt Phonon bindings, and HTML5 <video> tag support in QtWebKit02:51
JontheEchidnaBut since phonon development goes on in kdesupport, KDE finds it fine to use new API not in Qt phonon yet as long as things compile with kdesupport02:52
JontheEchidnaQt Software hasn't merged in the changes from kdesupport yet, leaving portions of KDE uncompilable as of now02:53
skreechwhat's the solution?02:54
JontheEchidnaSo we're waiting for the Phonon maintainer to write a patch to bring Qt phonon up to the API as is now in kdesupport02:54
JontheEchidnaor waiting for Qt Software to merge the changes from kdesupport, whichever comes first02:54
skreechwell that's short term02:54
JontheEchidnaLong term solution: Get Qt software to sync with kdesupport more often or tell KDE not to require the new api until it's in Qt02:58
JontheEchidnaand hope they comply02:58
dtchenthat's a mess, indeed03:09
jjesseevening03:09
DarkwingDuckto upgrade from Karmic to Lucid alpha 1.. what acommand?03:18
DarkwingDuckdist-upgrade isn't working03:18
jjessedon't you do a dist-upgrade -d03:19
DarkwingDuckthat's what I thought...03:20
DarkwingDuckBut it's not digging from Lucid but, karmic-proposed....03:20
skreechdo-release-upgrade -d03:22
nixternalScottK: kdeedu done...just fired off an email to the list03:23
DarkwingDuckskreech: Thanks!03:27
DarkwingDucknixternal: Doc freeze in March for Lucid... Should we shoot for end of january for doc drafts, review all docs in Feb and iron out minor things in March till the freeze?03:29
skreechDarkwingDuck: Welcome03:29
DarkwingDucknixternal: or, is that cutting too close?03:30
DarkwingDuckjjesse: what you think?03:30
nixternalDarkwingDuck: works for me03:35
jjesseyes03:36
jjessesry was away from computer03:36
jjessei think i've got a lot of the bugs fixed and committed for the karmic branch so we should e able to do a SRU hopefully?03:37
nixternalwhat do we do about translations though? if we upload a new package, it won't have recent translations03:38
nixternaldo we manually upload a tarball I guess?03:38
nixternalwait a month, then SRU?03:38
nixternalafter the manual upload of the translation templates03:38
jjessei guess isn't david panella or whatever his name is involved in the bug?03:39
nixternalyeah, dpm on irc, but he isn't online right now03:39
jjessete translation guy03:39
jjesselet me ping him on how it is going to work03:39
nixternalI think he will want us to manually upload the templates03:39
nixternalthat is the only way for them to get translated03:40
jjesseok03:40
nixternalyou know how to do that?03:40
nixternalit is fairly simple...the hard part is finding the damn stuff on LP to upload to03:40
jjessewell let me try and figure it out and i'll ask for help03:41
jjessehow does that sound?03:41
nixternalworks for me03:41
nixternalget_pot.sh is your friend :)03:41
jjesseok03:41
nixternalrun that from the docs dir, that will update all of the pot files03:41
jjesseif we are uploading the docs in january for doc drafts, nixternal and i we  should plan on getting together IRL sometime around then as well03:42
nixternalthen you have to go onto LP and manually upload each pot file for the topic/template03:42
jjessethoughts on that?03:42
nixternaljjesse: works for me03:42
nixternaljan/feb...whenever you are in town again...which is like every other week I think :)03:42
jjesseusually03:43
jjessewe could always meet in benton harlem03:43
nixternalheh, they don't have Internet03:43
nixternalhow long does it take you to get to bh?03:43
jjesse2 hrs?03:43
nixternaloh wow03:43
jjessest. joesph/bh03:43
nixternalso it is the same distance for me too03:43
nixternal2 hrs for me03:44
jjessei think 2 hrs to the 96/94 interchange03:44
nixternaldidn't realize gr was that damn far north03:44
jjessenorth and east for you03:44
jjessei would take 196 until it merges/ends in 9403:45
nixternalahh03:45
jjessemeant to say 196/94 interchange03:45
jjesse96 ends at muskegeon right?03:45
nixternalI think so03:46
nixternaliirc it become US3103:46
nixternalwe used to have a beach house up that way03:47
nixternalshtylman: what needs to be done for the netbook installer slide show?03:50
skreecha) make up crap03:50
skreechb) take pictures that make it look real03:50
shtylmannixternal: well, I still need to make the codebases coexist.. .but from a literature standpoint  yes03:50
skreechc) have a marketing campaign to make it really sound real03:51
shtylmansee what needs to be different from the kubuntu installer slideshow03:51
skreechd) make a slideshow03:51
shtylmanand then make the slides for it :)03:51
shtylmane) profit03:51
skreechOh Kubuntu installer Sorry thought we were talking WIndows 7 netbook. Continue!03:51
nixternalRiddell: per the feedback applet, I can still host that and maintain that...I want to make it so you, or whoever is doing the release can go in and copy over and create an updated questionnaire03:51
jjesseare there documentation stuff that goes alng with each slide?03:51
nixternalshtylman: roger that...literature being layed out like the last way?03:51
shtylmannixternal: yes, as far as I know the format will not change03:52
nixternalI need to also fix our old literature as well....it needs to smack you in the face :)03:52
nixternalok, I will add that to my TODO03:52
shtylmanobviously we are always last to know :) but yea... I think it should be the same format03:52
nixternalhaha03:52
shtylmanif not, I will worry about the transformation03:52
shtylmanwhich reminds me I need to see if I can get to updating the codebase and making the kubuntu slideshow package this weekend03:53
shtylmanits way over due03:53
skreechUgh I shuld learn vi04:16
skreechhow can I insert a hash at the start of the next 12 lines ?04:16
ScottKnixternal: The burndown thing is funnier than that.  ScottK on LP isn't me.  It's someone else.  I'll have to fix that.04:49
nixternaloh yeah, that's right04:49
nixternalI remember going there one time and was like wtf04:49
Darkwing-Netbookwoah... it works04:54
Darkwing-Netbooknixternal: I'll need to update the netbook doc with 4.4 now04:55
nixternalwhat works?04:55
Darkwing-Netbooklucid04:55
nixternalorly04:55
Darkwing-Netbookfinally04:55
nixternaldid you have to do anything funky?04:55
Darkwing-Netbookstart from 9.1004:55
Darkwing-Netbookit wouldn't update to alpha1 from my older daily build04:55
Darkwing-Netbookhad a problem getting to 4.3.8904:56
Darkwing-Netbook*4.3.8004:56
Darkwing-Netbookand 4.4b was being a pain for the update04:56
Darkwing-Netbookstill, I have problems with plasma-netbook auto starting04:56
Darkwing-NetbookBut, I'll update the netbook doc and get one written for the KDE side of the house too nixternal04:57
ScottKplasma-netbook autostart is on the TODO list.04:57
Darkwing-NetbookSaw that ScottK )04:58
Darkwing-Netbook:)04:58
nixternalScottK: what needs to be done on that? I was going through looking for tasks on the todo list...but i think some are already taken and the people haven't put their names on it yet04:59
ScottKnixternal: There is supposed to be an upstream way to pick which plasma you want to run if you have both installed.  We need to understand that and make sure we autostart the right one or the one and only one if only one is installed.04:59
nixternaloh, that sounds easy enough05:01
ScottKNot horrible hard, just needs someone to look at it who has all the bits running.  Feel free to take it on.05:01
Darkwing-NetbookScottK aside from documentation what else can my non-progamming skills work on for the testing?05:02
ScottKmaco: I'm with valerie on "but it ate your data"05:02
Darkwing-NetbookOr, rather, what do you need tested?05:02
ScottKDarkwing-Netbook: Bug triage.05:02
Darkwing-Netbookkk05:02
Darkwing-Netbookon bugs.kde or via LP?05:03
ScottKSince almost all the packages are common between desktop and netbook, we need general triage done for both05:03
ScottKLP05:03
ScottKJontheEchidna: ^^^ another pupil for your tender mercies.05:03
macoScottK: i think she needs to hack faster on btrfs then :P05:03
ScottKDarkwing-Netbook: Please join #kubuntu-bugs05:03
Darkwing-NetbookOkay. ScottK correct me if I'm wrong, packages are teh same for desktop and netbook except for the UI right?05:04
ScottKYep.05:04
Darkwing-NetbookOkay good.05:04
ScottKThat will probably change a bit more in Lucid, but generally still be the case.05:04
Darkwing-Netbooknixternal: did you read what I asked about the docs?05:06
Darkwing-NetbookI left my desktop before I got a reply05:07
nixternalwhat did you ask?05:07
Darkwing-Netbooktimeline for docs.05:08
nixternaloh dude, jjesse and I both replied a lot to it :p05:08

markeyhehe08:36
Tonio_hi there08:50
skreechhi08:50
Tonio_just switch to lucid in order to start working on it...08:50
Tonio_I noticed a strange issue with X...08:50
Tonio_when I login to kde the first time, X crashes, then I login again and it works08:51
Tonio_and also I have no effects enabled08:51
Tonio_is this common for an intel chip ?08:51
amichairTonio_: the double-login issue is known, not sure what the status is08:52
Tonio_amichair: lkk08:54
Tonio_I'll check for the effects :)08:55
hungerTonio_: X is kind of unstable here, too. Crashes even when starting a failsafe session:-( After a couple of login attempts it starts KDE fine.08:55
Tonio_hunger: oki ;)08:55
hungerTonio_: I thought that was due to the ATI KMS drivers I am using for the first time:-)08:55
hunger2.6.32 is the first kernel to support my card, so I got rid of the fglrx stuff (which won't build with that kernel anyway).08:56
Tonio_hunger: got the same problem with an intel GMA 4500HD08:57

Tonio_rgreening: ping ?09:36
Tonio_Riddell: I was thinking about wine... do we still want some wine integration in kubuntu ? cause in case I found this : http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/q4wine?content=8575109:37
Tonio_Riddell: tested and approved09:37
Tonio_it can even bind your Qt settings to your wine session for fonts and colors :)09:38
ghostcubeTonio_: oh thats cool10:26
Tonio_ghostcube: yup, qt-apps has some interesting things on it ;)10:37
ghostcube;) cool go on find some more :)10:37
ghostcubehehe10:38
RiddellTonio_: worth a package10:43
LureTonio_: hi - have time to add endorsment to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LukaRenko/DigikamKipiPluginsApplication10:45
Lureapachelogger: ^^^10:45
Tonio_Riddell: my opinion too10:46
Tonio_let's go10:46
Tonio_Riddell: count me in starting now, I finally got some free time in the next weeks/month...10:46
* apachelogger recommends Lure to hand kubuntu.org urlies when he wants to be endorsed by apachelogger :P10:48
Lureapachelogger: ;-)10:48
* Lure never gor used to wiki.kubuntu.org ;-)10:49
Luregot10:49
LureTonio_: great to have you on board for Lucid10:49
Tonio_Lure: done :)10:50
Tonio_Lure: yeah, new job, new girlfriend, I needed to take a break really10:50
Tonio_but... I have to come back to things I love :)10:51
Tonio_Lure: that's the way I do to stay motivated on the long term :)10:51
Tonio_Lure: without those breaks I suspect I would have gone some day, burning myself :)10:51
Tonio_let's go with q4wine packaging...10:51
Tonio_Riddell: I will also package recordmenow, seems a very good kde4 app, and very usefull in corporate env imho10:52
LureTonio_: sure - new baby daughter also kept me away from kubuntu for most of karmic10:52
Tonio_Lure: that's life10:52
Tonio_Lure: what is really nice is that the community grown in the last year, so that getting rid of kubuntu for a moment isn't much of a problem now10:52
Tonio_in the past, it was, I think10:53
Lurethe good thing is kubuntu is always there with great community, so it is easy to come back ;-)10:53
Tonio_Lure: yep10:53
* apachelogger really used to be better on that endorsment writing10:53
Tonio_the good point is that if I don't do something, I know there are people that can and will do it, probably even better than I10:53
Lureyep, lots of enthusiastic people10:53
Lureand I like the Timelord move: we needed some positive story to reposition our marketing a bit10:54
Tonio_and looking at kubuntu karmic review, I considered I could have been a problem for the distro :)10:54
Tonio_first time I'm not there for a very long time, best release ever :)10:54
Tonio_haha, that makes you think :)10:54
apacheloggersave fail10:54
* apachelogger just used brower-back to leave preview because he was working with twiki all morning -.-10:55
RiddellTonio_: we have a package of recorditnow already10:55
Tonio_Riddell: hu ?10:55
Riddellhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/recorditnow10:55
Tonio_Riddell: ho it isn't in the archives yet.... yeah I have to get the kubnutu status, might take a week or so10:56
Tonio_Riddell: one thing important to me, what are the plans for the kubnutu default web browser ?10:56
Tonio_Riddell: I suspect rekonq ?10:56
Tonio_Lure: shouldn't we get rif of the digikam configuration dialog ?10:58
Riddellit's an LTS, not a good time to be changing browser10:58
Tonio_Riddell: hum, except if the web browser is an issue imho, but that's just my opinion10:58
Tonio_Riddell: but I agree it needs to be evaluated as much as possible10:58
Tonio_Riddell: our users don't use konq anyway...10:59
Tonio_that reduces the impact of the change, don't you think ?10:59
Tonio_even for an LTS10:59
Riddellmaybe webkitkde will be ready10:59
Tonio_Riddell: hopefully11:00
Tonio_Riddell: I think rekonq dev also works on that11:00
Tonio_Riddell: but switching from khtml to webkitkde in konq is probably more risky than a new web browser11:00
Tonio_Riddell: there will probably be lots of bugs in konq's config and so on...11:01
Tonio_Lure: we could go with a default configuration pointing digikam catalog to the "picture" xdg dir I think...11:01
LureTonio_: yep11:02
Tonio_Lure: I'll try to fix this correctly11:02
LureTonio_: I tried to persuade upstream, but it seams gilles likes it :-(11:02
Tonio_Lure: nevermind, that what distros are made for :) implementing stuf ;)11:02
LureTonio_: and it is in RC now (string freeze), so it will not change for 1.0.0 final11:02
Tonio_Lure: great11:03
LureRiddell: if we would get ack from u-release to get digikam 1.0.0 final to karmic-updates, what would that mean for translations?11:03
LureRiddell: I suspect langpackgs would mess things up...11:04
Tonio_I still have to fix THE qt bug I want to...11:04
* Lure thinks that it is unlikely we will get approval11:04
Tonio_one year tracking that little thing11:04
Tonio_no real success so far :/11:04
Tonio_I'm so close.... for 6 month...11:04
Tonio_I also have to make a point with rgreening about the samba sharing stuff11:05
amichairTonio_: what's THE qt bug?11:12
Lureapachelogger: problem with more involved: hard to split limited time between kde and kubuntu ;-)11:15
Tonio_amichair: drag and drop files break cursor11:15
Tonio_amichair: check in dolphin11:15
Lureapachelogger: and I like to code, so currently kde is winning, but that is win for kubuntu too ;-)11:15
Tonio_amichair: I have an idea of how to fix, and I did11:15
Tonio_but that introduces new bugs...11:16
amichairwhat do u mean 'creak cursor'?11:16
amichairbreak11:16
Tonio_break sorry11:16
amichairno need to apologize for my typos :-)11:16
amichairbut I don't see a bug11:17
RiddellLure: I don't see pitti approving a new release for -updates11:17
apacheloggerLure: just saying :P11:21
Tonio_amichair: what when you drag a file in dolphin ?11:21
apacheloggercan someone answer the kubuntu performance mail on the list?11:21
Tonio_amichair: don't you switch back to the black cursor ?11:21
* apachelogger cannot resist applying sarcasm on that mail11:21
Tonio_amichair: I do, and for... 4 years now :)11:22
amichairTonio_: oh, I think I see it. black cursor + little icon moving along11:22
apacheloggerTonio_: yet no one bothered to investigate11:22
* apachelogger is actually wondering if it also happens on distros other than buntu11:22
Tonio_apachelogger: I know :) and I have a working fix.... just that it... segfaults sometimes :)11:23
Tonio_apachelogger: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-666911:23
* apachelogger starts 3rd try to write a project background11:23
apacheloggeroh11:23
apacheloggerthat reminds me on my infamous reallocateMemory() functions for my C class :D11:24
Tonio_apachelogger: I could post my fix explaining what it fixes and what it breaks.... maybe that would help someone to fix the fix11:24
apacheloggermy tutor got all annoyed by how much I can produce for just that :D11:24
Tonio_incomplete fix is better than nothing :)11:24
apacheloggerTonio_: yeah, then at least someone can use that and fix the segfaults instead of rewriting it altogether11:25
Tonio_yup11:25
apacheloggeryou know, from having read loads and loads of opinons about the vision and background of kubuntu it would appear that osx is considered at least barable, usually to explain either of the 2 kubuntu gets put into relation with windows, gnome, debian or other kde distros11:27
apacheloggernever ever osx though11:27
Tonio_apachelogger: I don't get your point there :)11:28
Tonio_apachelogger: what the problem with osx ? ;)11:28
apacheloggeryes11:28
apacheloggerwell11:28
Tonio_apachelogger: appart from working and being stable ?11:28
apacheloggerthere is none11:28
apacheloggeri.e. kubuntu <= osx11:28
Tonio_oh yes, definately11:29
Tonio_well it depends on what11:29
apacheloggereither that or no one considers osx competition11:29
Tonio_for experienced users, osx can be a nightmare11:29
amichairthe new kde sliding button control thing is pretty wierd11:29
Tonio_but when it comes to polishing stuff, it's unbeatable11:29
Tonio_and that's what people see first11:29
apacheloggeryou mean breaking stuff11:29
apacheloggersec11:29
apacheloggerhttp://rixstep.com/1/2/20090917,01.shtml11:30
amichairI thought 4.4 was supposed to finally bring stability to the kingdom, not more innovation11:30
apacheloggerthe most interesting aspect of that might be that the UI still allows file permissions to be set11:30
apacheloggerso you can set file permissions, but they have no effect I suppose11:31
apacheloggeranyhow11:31
Tonio_apachelogger: crap, indeed :)11:32
apacheloggerTonio_: doing some more interpretation I might end up stating that Kubuntu is about quantity not quality11:32
apacheloggercompare to windows (quantity) and mac (quality)11:32
apacheloggersince windows is used to compare kubuntu with, and mac is not, I could think that we are indeed not striving for quality but reaching the masses11:32
Tonio_apachelogger: s/kubuntu/kde/ ?11:33
Tonio_apachelogger: kde tends to try to offer the maximum options, config dialogs etc...11:33
apacheloggernot because of that11:33
Tonio_apachelogger: not always considering the added value or quality of it11:33
apacheloggerI do not htink that the option paradigm is mutually exclusive with the usability paradigm11:33
Tonio_kk11:33
apacheloggerbut11:33
amichairTonio_: I agree with that11:33
apacheloggeras you said, osx is all about polish and quality and niceness11:34
Tonio_it's more a matter of what is the target11:34
Tonio_osx doesn't want to compete with windows11:34
Tonio_we try to11:34
apacheloggerwhereas kubuntu does not seem to be, and does not seem to want to go there11:34
Tonio_am I correct ?11:34
apacheloggeraight11:34
Tonio_kk11:34
apacheloggerI am not sure that is a good thing though11:34
Tonio_apachelogger: I agree with you11:34
Tonio_and I think we should consider polishing stuff11:34
Tonio_apachelogger: note that a 6 month release cycle might be considered a problem in the polishing area11:35
Tonio_consider the time spent between windows 7 beta and stable version11:35
Tonio_and same for OSX...11:35
Tonio_the beta -> stable time was between 6 to 12 month11:35
apacheloggernot necessarily, we would just have to cut down on new software11:35
LureRiddell: will discuss with him anyhow, but I expect the same answer11:35
Tonio_that's what polishing takes11:35
apacheloggerTonio_: yeah11:36
Tonio_apachelogger: but yeah, too much svn components on kubuntu anytime11:36
apacheloggerTonio_: possibly we need to change our own view there11:36
Tonio_I agree this is something we should consider fixing11:36
Tonio_apachelogger: I totally agree11:36
apacheloggerfrom release based to LTS release based11:36
apacheloggerlike ubuntu does seem to do it11:36
Tonio_true11:36
apacheloggerregular releases just seem to be steps towards LTS (beta if you will)11:36
apacheloggerwhich is a more sensible approach IMHO11:37
apacheloggertrying to do kickass releases in a 6 month cycle is quite demanding11:37
Tonio_yup11:38
apacheloggerwhereas usable every 6 months and kickass every 24 months is a more sound approach11:38
amichairisn't KDE's aim for innovation rather than quality a problem?11:38
apacheloggeramichair: innovation and quality are not mutually exclusive either IMHO :P11:38
Tonio_amichair: hum, well it depends what they expect on the long term11:38
amichairapachelogger: not in general... but in KDE is seems to be the case11:38
apacheloggeronly KDE 4 :P11:39
Tonio_amichair: when you go from kde3 to kde4, quality ain't of any subject11:39
Tonio_it has to go, work, and be finished11:39
Tonio_amichair: when you see the speed improvement between 4.2 and 4.4, I consider this quality11:39
Tonio_they seem to tend to go that way11:39
Tonio_but yeah, kde4 might not be considered "finished" before 4.5, eventually11:40
Tonio_there are still lots of stuff that need to be done... like akonadi transition11:40
amichairTonio_: when I see things crashing more, and plasma-desktop taking up 800MB of memory... 'quality' is not the word that comes to mind11:40
Tonio_like the network manager backend etc...11:40
Tonio_amichair: using ram isn't bad11:41
Tonio_amichair: look at windows 7 :)11:41
Tonio_probably the best OS out there right now11:41
Tonio_fast, and stable, but using lots of ram11:41
Tonio_amichair: ram is there to be used11:41
amichairTonio_: how is it not bad? it means other apps start swapping, and the entire desktop experience grinds down to win 3.11 times...11:41
* apachelogger still doesnt think that plasma leak is caused by plasma but the graphics stack11:42
Tonio_amichair: not at all11:42
apacheloggeramichair: now, no foul talking about win 3.11!11:42
Tonio_amichair: you can consider keeping datas in ram as long as other apps don't need it11:42
* apachelogger loved win3 :)11:42
apacheloggerthe first windows I ever killed11:42
Tonio_amichair: that's good memory management11:43
apacheloggermade me go back to dos11:43
Tonio_amichair: with good ram management, you would tend to have 0 swap11:43
Tonio_and 0 bytes of free mem :)11:43
Tonio_q4wine package mostly done11:45
Tonio_amichair: kubuntu works correctly on a 512megs of ram box11:46
Tonio_which means plasma is just using depending the ram available11:46
Tonio_amichair: and as apachelogger said, X is more or less the problem there11:47
amikso if we want to go for a polished kubuntu, where would we start?12:07
=== amik is now known as amichair
apacheloggerwith defining what polished exactly means12:08
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: ping ping12:09
Tonio_amichair: for me it starts with having good eyes12:13
Tonio_amichair: geeks don't have this :)12:13
Tonio_amichair: this broken cursor issue wasn't seen by many people12:13
Tonio_amichair: also we have a formated usage of the computer12:13
Tonio_amichair: therefore clicking the bad place at the bad moment isn't something we would do12:13
* apachelogger saw it complained about it, didnt get to fix it and stopped caring :P12:13
Tonio_amichair: we need end users testing12:13
Tonio_amichair: real end users :)12:14
Tonio_amichair: we need to remove anything that can be done from the kmenu12:14
Tonio_for example12:14
Tonio_I can see there "akonadi tray utility"12:15
Tonio_should I need an entry in the kmenu for that ?12:15
Tonio_I don't think so12:15
Tonio_lots of things like this should get fixed12:15
Tonio_hundreds to be honnest12:16
Tonio_why should kdebluetooth be in the menu too ? no need for that, I want it started in the tray, nothing else12:17
Tonio_cleaning the mess the menu has become is really something we should change :)12:17
apacheloggermess?12:23
Tonio_apachelogger: to many useless entries there12:27
Tonio_by far too many12:27
apacheloggeragreed12:30
apacheloggerthough I find app menus utterly useless anyway :P12:30
rgreeningTonio_: hey12:48
rgreeningTonio_: what point wrt samba :)12:49
Tonio_rgreening: I think you starting the code right ? at least I heard about that :)12:49
rgreeningYeah, I have the spec written, and have documented the code changes that are required and have poked around the code a bit (even got a basic tab to show up - pagedialog)12:50

amichairTonio_: sorry, was out a bit -13:33
amichairTonio_: I think a first step is caring. there are already lots of open bugs of the sort that ruin the polish, and they just sit there for several releases...13:34
amichairTonio_: there are plenty of users to report things. I think having many glitches discourages ppl from reporting, because why bother... but everything was kept in top shape, any little glitch would stand out and more reports would come in13:38
Tonio_amichair: yup13:49
JontheEchidnahttps://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21806413:50
ubottuKDE bug 218064 in widget-systemtray "Plasma-desktop crashes on boot, or on subsequent running [Plasma::PopupAppletPrivate::updateDialogPosition, Plasma::PopupAppletPrivate::popupConstraintsEvent, Plasma::Applet::flushPendingConstraintsEvents]" [Crash,Unconfirmed]13:50
amichairJontheEchidna: looks like our friend13:51
JontheEchidnayep13:51
amichairJontheEchidna: I don't think it happens when systemtray plasmoid is missing - any containment (even with no applets) prevents the crash. but no big difference.13:53
amichairJontheEchidna: I think it just happens whenever a default desktop needs to be generated.13:54
amichairI must say, a method which ends with a single shot timeout to call another method 1 second later, always looks like something isn't quite right with it.13:55

JontheEchidnaScottK: plasma-desktop needs a better dependency than just being part of the seed (think people installing from the kde metapackages rather than kubuntu-desktop) How would you feel about the kdebase-workspace metapackage depending on plasma-desktop | plasna-netbook?14:29
ScottKJontheEchidna: That's exactly what I'd been thinking about.14:29
JontheEchidnaNeat14:29
ScottKJontheEchidna: What I'd like to do next is prepare a mail to the Debian folks to describe what we've done, how it's incomplete, and try to reach a consensus.14:32
ScottKRiddell: I see there are a couple of kde4libs bug fixes waiting in bzr for upload, so unless you think you'll have the armel porter box sorted soonish, I think perhaps I ought to just upload.14:35
RiddellScottK: I found it14:37
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: can you please head over to google docs, check out my fancy management doc and tell me if the project background description makes any sense at all>14:37

apacheloggerwhich is either a seperate pkg amarok-nighly-tools or amarok-nightly-cdbs14:48
apacheloggercant remember which14:48
apacheloggerboth should be living somewhere in the neon src tree though14:48
apacheloggercdbs probably in distros/ubuntu/ and tools in tools/ (from latter at least you can build a src pkg using a script in scripts/)14:49

ScottKRiddell: I'd add something about regression free.  I think fixing minor bugs is OK as long as it is a safe fix.15:49
zoraelI'm getting a bug where it takes precisely 30 or 60 seconds after I unplug the AC adapter from my laptop to when I get the plasma notification that it's been removed. The same happens upon attaching the adapter. Should I do ubuntu-bug kdebase-workspace or just take it to bugs.kde.org right away? (Karmic, 4.3.4)15:51
Riddellhmm, not convinced about this for default wallpaper http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/wallpapers/Quadros/contents/images/15:51
rgreeningRiddell: "therefor be" -> "therefore be"15:51
Riddellzorael: you should proabably check when hal or udev picks that up15:52
rgreeningRiddell: OMG that wallpaper is hideous15:52
zoraelRiddell: The icon in the Power Management widget picks it up instantly, but any further action is delayed15:53
Riddellyes, I think I prefered my previous wallpaper15:53
rgreeningRiddell: we really should take advantage of upstream branding and/or kiwii to get some kubuntu loking stuff15:53
rgreeninglooking even15:54
Riddellrgreening: well that is upstream, adding a kubuntu logo or using a kubuntu palette won't make much difference15:54
zoraelRiddell: udevadm monitor notices it immediately, not sure how to monitor hal15:54
rgreeningwe def dont want that wallpaper, unless you want a bunch of kubuntu user hanging themselves from going insane looking at it15:54

neversfeldewe have blogilo and bilbo in lucid, is it correct to make blogilo conflict bilbo and remove bilbo from the archives? bilbo was renamed to blogilo and is part of kdepim now.17:17
ScottKneversfelde: It is correct to have blogilo provide a transitional package of bilbo that depends on blogilo and remove the bilbo source from the archive.17:19
ScottKThe transitional package can be dropped after Lucid release.17:19
neversfeldeScottK: ok, who can remove packages, do I need to open a bug about it?17:21

apacheloggerThe logo of Mono is a monkey's face, mono being Spanish for monkey. The name relates to the monkeys and apes that are a central theme within Ximian, such as the GNOME Project's logo (a monkey's footprint), the Bonobo project (bonobos are a species of chimpanzee), the Novell Evolution (formerly Ximian Evolution) Project, and the Ximian logo itself (a monkey's silhouette). According to the Mono FAQ, the origin of the name is "We19:13

* apachelogger really doesnt get what people always have with us sticking to KDE default19:19
JontheEchidna"Kubuntu's best feature is unofficial. It's the updated versions of KDE that appears in the PPA repositories. These are the best packgaes we've found for keeping KDE up to date, which is especially important when so many changes are still being made."19:20

apacheloggerwe only require a CD so that aint gonna happen :P19:25
JontheEchidnaI think that people bust on us for not changing the default is more of a social issue.19:26
JontheEchidnaThey think that since we didn't change the artwork that we don't care19:26
* ScottK considers the total lack of an artwork team a hinderance to change anyway.19:26
JontheEchidnaEven though it's perfectly acceptable to use the upstream artwork, it still stands that not changing it leads to this perception19:27
JontheEchidnaI think part of why we lack an artwork team is our attitude that we wanted to stick to upstream artwork early on in the 4.x days.19:27
JontheEchidnaNo need == on artwork team19:27
apacheloggerwe certainly could bribe ruphy19:27
JontheEchidnathen that leads to a chicken/egg situation19:28

apacheloggerScottK: as always I will blaim the lack of long-term vision for that ;)19:31

macoi dont think anyone would like my attempts at artwork19:31
macohavent gotten very good with this tablet yet19:31
ruphyapachelogger: thanks19:31

JontheEchidnaI'll update for lucid then get the patch for the name reset SRU'd19:32
macoapachelogger: what are you spotting me for? packaging or artwork?19:32
macoand i thought i was old minion now!19:33
JontheEchidnamaybe that'll get me in the mood to do other sru's I've been meaning to do :x19:33

apacheloggermaco: lucid version needs to be bumped to 2.0.2 (maybe already in debian), then we can just SRU that fix for karmic19:40
* JontheEchidna is filing the kmess sync request as we speak19:41
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: we can sync?19:41
JontheEchidnayeah, we got our phonon differences settled in Qt19:41
MamarokJontheEchidna: did we?19:42
apacheloggerok, assigning the lucid task to you then :P19:42
JontheEchidnaMamarok: in comparison to debian's packaging, yes19:42
JontheEchidnawe now use the name libphonon-dev instead of libqt4-phonon-dev19:42
Mamarokah... have you seen Thiagos mail to kde-core-devel?19:43
macook so i should ignore those links then?19:43
JontheEchidnaif you want to you can do the SRU19:44
apacheloggermaco: you'll just need to take care of the SRU, JontheEchidna will resolve the issue in lucid19:44
macook on the sru im still doing a normal "apply that patch to that thing" right?19:45

apacheloggermost importantly https://wiki.kubuntu.org/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure19:47
macoyeah with the listing all the reasoning...19:48
apacheloggermaco: you basically just do what you would be doing to fix it in lucid, but with as little invasion as possible, and your changelog entry will list karmic-proposed as distro19:48
macoim just checking that you werent saying something closer to backports since you and JontheEchidna started talking about syncs19:48
=== Blizzzek is now known as Blizzz
JontheEchidnaI'm just getting the packaging synced for lucid so that people don't go merging things for no reason19:49
apacheloggermaco: backports do not qualify to fix SRUworthy bugs :)19:49
apacheloggerScottK gets grumpy if you try to do that19:49
ScottKAbsolutely.19:49
macoby the way, what is kmess and what is friendly name?19:50
macoi dont know how to write sru justification without those info19:50
apacheloggermaco: a kde msn client19:51
apacheloggerfriendly name is probably some sort of nick type for msn19:51
apacheloggerruphy: ^19:51
ruphyyes19:52
ruphyfriendly name is your nickname19:52
ruphyor, your name19:52
apacheloggeroh19:52
ruphypeople see two things of you there19:52
apacheloggerhttp://kmess.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=429119:52
ruphyyour friendly name19:52
ruphyand your personal message19:52
apacheloggerfriendly name is like a nick ontop of your nick19:52
ruphyapachelogger: well, it's actually what you see of other people19:53
ruphyapachelogger: that is considered to be the name (used also in chat logs)19:53
ruphyalthough many people use nicks or colorful stuff19:54
macolike pidgin alias?19:54
ruphyi, as one, use "ruphy" as friendly name19:54
apacheloggeryeah, an ever-changable nick, as opposed to an MSN account name?19:54
ruphyyes19:55
ruphythat you can change it19:55
apacheloggermaco: does that make sense to you? :)19:55
ruphywithout the patch, it defaults to your first name of your msn registration19:55
macoapachelogger: yeah19:55
ruphynot even the mail of your registeret account19:55
ruphyin few words, this is really annoying :)19:55
ruphy(also because most people tend to customize it a lot)19:56
macoi guess i can just use the original bug report as the "impact" line. its nice & short19:56
macowow i can read that19:56

apacheloggerruphy: well, maco needs to get the patched version ready, then it will be uploaded to the karmic-proposed repository where it will be sitting for at least one week to ensure that no regressions were introduced, after that it will be moved to the karmic-updates repo20:04
macoapachelogger: not much context to go on, but what i see...not in any files in there20:04
apacheloggerruphy: karmic-porposed obviously is a repo that is not turned on by default ;)20:05

apacheloggerhttp://trac.kmess.org/log/branches/kmess/kmess-2.0.x/src/network/soap/roamingservice.cpp?rev=569320:09
macoso i just copy and paste the whole file in?20:09
macothis sounds dirty20:09
apacheloggerwould get rejected20:09
apacheloggerbesides, I doubt it works20:09
macoor at least slightly hacky20:09
* ScottK has done worse.20:10
macoScottK: in an sru?20:10
apacheloggermaco: quite possibly the roamingservice change is not required20:11
macoi think it's necessary20:11
macocurrentAccount->setFriendlyName( lastKnownFriendlyName_ );20:11
macoi mean20:12
apacheloggerwell20:12
apacheloggersince the roamingservice introduction commit does not remove any classes or files I suppose it just enhances the codebase, rather than replaces parts of it20:12
macothat looks like its doing the  par tthat does the fixin20:12
* ScottK recalls making a package work in Dapper by grabbing one updated library from Feisty and the Feisty version of the package to talk to that lib and then another updated lib from Hardy, grabbing one file from the Hardy version of the package, using debian/rules and debian/control from the original Dapper package, slamming it all together and it worked.20:12
ScottKIt started out in backports, but eventually ended up in updates.20:13
ScottKSo yes, for an SRU.20:13
macoO_O20:13
ScottKLet's not tell pitti though.20:13
apacheloggermaco: no other change affects a roamingservice object though20:13
ScottK(this was in service of updating clamav for security issues, so a lot of rules get bent pretty hard)20:14
macoah20:14
apacheloggermaco: I would give it a try without roamingservice20:14
apacheloggerif it does not fix the issue worst that can happen is it still not remember the friendly name20:14
macoapachelogger: but without roamingservice, what is going to do the "make the current friendly name be the old friendly name" bit?20:14
apacheloggerin which case we would have to digg in the 2.0 codebase a bit20:14
apacheloggermaco: good point20:15
macothe way the patch would work seems fairly straightforward. that file is necessary20:15
apacheloggermaco: I dont see anything doing that for personal msg either20:16
apacheloggermaybe we actually need to drag the file in either way20:17
apacheloggermaco: I suppose consulting with upstream is appropriate20:17
macothink they have an irc channel?20:20
macoor maybe just an msn chatroom...20:21

apacheloggerMamarok: just install sloccount and run it with the amarok folder as arg20:35
Mamarokok20:37
* apachelogger notes that KDE is a lot more worth than what sloccount spits out though, since it does not take artwork into account20:37
