RiddellLex79: dude, you've thought of everything00:00
Lex79:)00:01
RiddellLex79: so tomorrow morning I should copy over to the beta PPA and announce?00:01
nixternalthis just in:  kdeedu is kicking my ass00:01
Lex79Riddell: yes thanks00:02
nixternalLex79: did you finish the kdeedu stuff in karmic?00:02
Lex79I thought it's not finished yet in lucid00:02
nixternalok, that's what I am working on now...I would like to get the R backend included, but it is FTBFS due to KIO::NetAccess shit...trying to figure that out00:03
nixternalshould be done tonight, one way or the other...ie. with or without R support00:03
JontheEchidnaLex79: new patch00:05
JontheEchidna[18:56:47] <sandsmark> JontheEchidna: squashed just for you: http://qt.gitorious.org/~sandsmark/qt/sandsmarks-kde-qt-with-updated-phonon/commit/ff5549e03b1f000f5d3520a5c1d6b2c4e0d3866b00:05
Lex79JontheEchidna: the diff is made with qt 4.6.0 or kde-qt ?00:06
JontheEchidnakde-qt I think00:06
JontheEchidnaIt might be best to make a qt -> kdeqt patch that is separate from the phonon update patch if we haven't done so already00:07
Lex79The fast way is download sandsmark branch and diff against 4.6.0, that it was I done yesterday00:08
Lex79Riddell: can you upload that? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/kdebase-workspace/ubuntu/revision/23400:09
RiddellLex79: ok00:09
nixternalwhat is the purpose of installgen? seems I missed that conversation :)00:25
=== fale_ is now known as fale
ScottKnixternal: AFAIK it can be removed.00:36
nixternalwell I see every package, but kdeedu, has an installgen file00:36
nixternalthat isn't the same installgen from perl is it?00:36
ScottKprobably because I removed that one.00:37
ScottKI think it's a build artifact.00:37
DaskreechAnyone getting codec errors in kaffeine ?00:42
RiddellScottK: so close https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-runtime/4:4.3.80-0ubuntu8/+build/1396928/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-armel.kdebase-runtime_4:4.3.80-0ubuntu8_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz00:43
JontheEchidnaScottK, nixternal: debian uses it with some black magic to produce .install files00:44
ScottKRiddell: Very close.  I guess we need the qt-phonon patch and retry.00:46
ScottKRiddell: kdenetwork built after the qimageblitz rebuild.  So progress.00:47

jjesseJontheEchidna: thanks, do i use the BBC as the source or use NOAA?02:12
JontheEchidnain 4.3 BBC works the best02:12

* Daskreech still thinks there should be a kubuntu-komplete package02:17
JontheEchidnaoh yeah, the bbc broke their search engine recently02:17

ScottKLex79: Which Qt change is this?03:55
ScottKIs this the one with the phonon fixes in it?03:55
Lex79ScottK: yes03:55
ScottKLex79: I'd put it in bzr then so Riddell or I can upload it.03:56
Lex79ScottK: before uploading we have to rebuild kdebase-runtime against that and see if build works03:58
ScottKLex79: OK.  That's good, but it should still be in bzr.  If it doesn't work out, bzr revert is easy enough.03:58
Lex79and JontheEchidna working today on that but it was ftbs, so now I change the patch03:58

r4v3nsw0rdoh, nice, twinkle is now properly in the system tray as opposed to floating randomly05:28
nixternalI finally fixed the kdeedu package issue...funny thing is we need to patch a CMakeLists.txt file, whereas nobody else has to05:29
nixternalby fixed, I mean cantor finally builds...I am sure there are some fubarred .install files yet to come05:31
* Daskreech votes for nepomuk working out of the box as goal for Lynx05:34
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel

Daskreechmarkey: Why don't you use the beta PPA instead of the daily?07:03
markeyI don't know, tbh :)07:03
markeysomeone recommended this to me07:03

DaskreechlOL at TM repos Nice that Lefty gets his own trademark07:06
markeyah wait07:06
markeythe problem might have fixed itself07:06
markeyChromium uses some very smart code for analyzing itself07:07

DaskreechSweet07:14
* jussi01 waves. did someone get the meeting date sorted from doodle? or do I need to still do it?07:14
DaskreechThat said, I feel KDE and Gnome are just about on par with one another anymore.07:15
DaskreechI never understand what the internet means anymore :(07:15
markeyhm?07:16
Sputthat grammar didn't make sense :)07:20
DaskreechI know and as near as I can guess he was saying that KDE and Gnome are equivalent07:22
DaskreechBut i can't figure out if that judgement is true or if it is which has caught up with which07:23
Sputuh, gNOme is still stuck in the 1990s07:30
Sputthere hasn't been any real innovation in the past few years07:30
markeyI still don't get what Daskreech meant07:32
markeymight need another coffee07:32
Daskreechmarkey: Chromium is nice for G* sites07:43
markeynot only that07:43
markeynice for everything :)07:43
DaskreechSput: That's why they are having a Gnome 3.007:43
markeyfreaking fast07:43
SputDaskreech: 3.0 is just 2.30 relabeled07:44
Daskreechfeels that way07:44
Sputthere is *no* innovation07:44
Daskreechand not eating my CPU either07:44
DaskreechSput: 2.32 didn't you get the Memo? :)07:44
DaskreechSput: and I think not having files is an interesting innovation07:45
Sputnot having files?07:46
DaskreechZeitgeist is supposed to abstract away the files and file system07:47
Sputisn't that mostly a subset of what akonadi/nepomuk do?07:52
Sputsparql and all?07:52
DaskreechYes but it's a subset of qhat Zeitgist is as well07:54
DaskreechJust that it has a goal of eliminating the need for a file system type heirarchy structure07:54
Sputthat's just because gtk's filedialog sucks07:55
Sputand they don't manage to get it usable :P07:55
DaskreechOh lord does it suck07:56
DaskreechNot the Zeitgest's is any better07:56
Daskreechpossibly slightly worse07:56
SputI'm sure they have conducted professional usability studies that prove it's the best way to do it07:56
DaskreechI'm sure they haven't07:56
Sputthey did that for the ok/cancel button order too07:56
Sputproving that it's easier for the user07:57
DaskreechLast I saw of Zeitgeist's it was pretty bad07:57
Sputexcept if he has ever used or will ever be using another platform07:57
Daskreechand most people didn't know what was going on.07:57
DaskreechBut after it comes out give it a year or two then I'll pass judgement on what I think of the project07:57
DaskreechUsing another platform isn't a problem because Gnome is all encompassing :)07:58
DaskreechSeriously though button order isn't that bad. I've seen apps put the button order randomly to force the user to read what was happening07:59
DaskreechThat was annoying. But switching two buttons doesn't make that much of a difference07:59
DaskreechI'd rail more against OSZ moving buttnos allll the way to the other side of the window07:59
DaskreechI'm such a KDE ho :(08:00
markeyI seriously think it's only a matter of (little?) time until shuttleworth replaces GNOME with KDE08:10
markeyGNOME is a technological dead-end08:10
markeythere is no saving it, at this point08:10
markey(plus the ethical issues)08:10
markeycheck this article: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/12068_3852391_3/KDE-44-Beta-Incremental-Doesnt-Mean-Directionless.htm08:12
markeyand then enjoy a quote from a comment:08:12
markey"KDE has become unique and no disrespect intended: It is simply the best DE available for computers, and with the momentum and fantastic creativity it's a moving target that any other OS or DE will struggle to catch."08:12
markeywhich is (sorry to say) the truth08:12
markeyI checked out Windows 7 the other day, it's Vista with Plasma on top08:13
markeythey even copied our clock thing, and the config thing, the task-bar. it all looks very similar :)08:14
ghostcubemorning folks :)08:29
Daskreechmarkey: You mistake technology and vision as a recipe for success :)08:31
markeydo I? :)08:31
markeytime will tell08:31
DaskreechToo many times I've seen the better technology get ignored in favour of the shiny or the heavy marketed08:32
ghostcubeyeah08:32
ghostcube:)08:32
ghostcubelike no one needs blue ray08:32
ghostcubeo.o08:33
DaskreechHa ha08:33

DaskreechI do08:33
Daskreechhi hunger_t08:33
hunger_tDaskreech: Hi!08:33
hunger_tDaskreech: What is happening on the ubuntu front?08:34
Daskreechhunger_t: We march forward!! and we have Timelords now08:34
markeywe have another advantage: our community is much less divided than theirs08:34
Daskreechmarkey: Than Windows?08:34
markeythey quarrel about the whoe Mono thing, etc08:34
markeyGNOME08:34
DaskreechOh Gnome08:34
markeyquarreling happens in Windows too, you just don't get to see it ;)08:35
DaskreechPfft Comparing community is not even an exercise08:35
Daskreechmarkey: In MS of course. But that's the not the community that counts08:35
hunger_tWow, timelords. Cool.08:35
Daskreechhunger_t: very much so. How's Telepathy?08:36
Daskreechmarkey: I think it's interesting that MS has people excited about Windows 708:36
hunger_tDaskreech: I gave up on that long ago. It just sucks too hard.08:36
Daskreechhunger_t: Give it lollipops?08:36
hunger_tDaskreech: Plus my last employer was telling me I was stealing company resources to work on that project, so I *had* to stop:-)08:37
hunger_tDaskreech: I was very much tempted to do a alternative spec:-)08:37
ghostcubethey exited with win7 cause they ripped half of the code in this house :D08:37
markeyDaskreech: with that amount of money, you could make people interested about donuts wrapped in crap08:37
DaskreechNot a bad idea if it was well thought out08:37
Daskreechghostcube: Good point :)08:37
ghostcubeheh08:37
DaskreechDid you see that BestBuy was susing KDE4 to sell Windows Laptops?08:38
Daskreechusing08:38
hunger_tmarkey: Win7 is actually pretty OK. Not great, but better than vista (which I did not find as bad as everybody said it was, too)08:38
ghostcube:O08:38
Daskreechhunger_t: Where are you working now?08:38
ghostcubehunger_t: it hasent be so difficult to be better than vista08:38
hunger_tDaskreech: Nokia. Hacking merrily on QtCreator.08:38
Daskreechhunger_t: When did you buy into Vista?08:38
ghostcubecause this was gameboy os ion workstations08:38
hunger_tDaskreech: Dunno. Came with the box, runs the occassional game I like to play.08:39
Daskreechhunger_t: ha! fantastic. Though I think that Telepathy would find interest at Nokia08:39
ghostcubewoha btw anyyone played assasins creed 208:39
ghostcubewow08:39
ghostcubedefinetly wow08:39
ghostcubethis would be cool to have on ubuntu08:39
hunger_tDaskreech: Telepathy is funded by nokia.08:39
ghostcube:D08:39
DaskreechActually Bluetooth would find interest. Get them to pay you to make KDE Bluetooth seamless :)08:39
apacheloggercaonincal could reinvent telepathy :P08:39
ghostcube:D08:39
ghostcubehi apachelogger08:39
apacheloggerthat said, ahoy08:39
hunger_tDaskreech: Ever has been. That might be why it works reasonably in the controlled environment of a phone...08:39
apacheloggermarkey: gnome might be quarreling over mono, kde however over quassel vs. konvi ;)08:40
Daskreechhunger_t: Well if you had an alternative spec that is better designed put it on paper and ship it out08:40
ghostcubeyou talk about this damn thingy taken from windoos to unix env and was called mono brain cell use ?08:41
Daskreech the reason they want Trolls and Qt is to unify the software stack across all computers and phones08:41
* apachelogger hugs hunger_t for qt creater 1.308:41
hunger_tDaskreech: That's the problem: I'd need a website and quite a bit of promo and stuff.08:41
apacheloggermuch nicer for c development than 1.2 for some reason :D08:41
hunger_tapachelogger: I have only tested that one:-)08:41
DaskreechMaking a proper spec that works across computers and phones is something they would be willing to throw weight behind08:41
* apachelogger finds testing most important08:41
hunger_tapachelogger: The next version will have some things I did though. And it will be really ALWSOME (not only due to my stuff:-)08:42
Daskreechapachelogger: And kdevelop vs Qt creator as well as KHTML vs Webkit08:42
apacheloggeralways these heaps of awesomeness08:42
hunger_tDaskreech: I do not see those:-)08:43
Daskreechhunger_t: which?08:43
apacheloggerDaskreech: I do not think that kdevelop and qt creator can really contest on many levels08:43
hunger_tDaskreech: KHTML is dead, Qt ctreator and kdevelpo seem to coexist nicely.08:43
* apachelogger does his weekly android updates08:44
* Daskreech wants to do android updates :(08:46
* hunger_t just hops to finally get a decent wlan widget in kde 4.4.08:47
DaskreechNever!!!08:47
apacheloggermhh, new facebook app08:47
hunger_tThe official one seems to suck again and the ubuntu one is really ugly.08:47
Daskreechhunger_t: Why would you need your own site/promo ?08:47
apacheloggerwlan widget?08:48
hunger_tDaskreech: Because I need a place to put the spec, the code, faq, etc08:48
hunger_tDaskreech: And without promo such any project is just dead.08:48
apacheloggeroh08:48
apacheloggerDaskreech: http://aplg.kollide.net/images/android/notificationbar.png08:48
Daskreechhunger_t: I was looking at it as an update to the Telepathy spec08:49
hunger_tDaskreech: No chance for that. Collabora won't let other people play.08:50
hunger_tDaskreech: They are making quite a bit of money with that spec... they won't just have anyone walk in and take over.08:50
DaskreechAgain it's not taking over :)08:51
=== hunger_t is now known as hunger
DaskreechIt's advancing it to be more playable08:51
hungerDaskreech: I tried that for 3 years... *no* success whatsoever.08:51
Daskreechexpanding the viabilty of the spec is in their interest isn't it08:51
DaskreechWow :) ok then yeah make something that shoots them down08:52
hungerDaskreech: Those guys are afraid of abstraction... which kind of sucks for developers of an abstraction layer:-(08:52
hungerDaskreech: I do not have the resources to shoot them down:-)08:52
ghostcubewebkit is fine so far08:53
ghostcubei just run the gtk port08:53
ghostcubebut in midori it gets better each release08:53
ghostcubeit lags a lot of needed ones so far but it gets better08:53
Daskreechhun who would be interested in a more abstract spec?08:54
lubyouis there still anybody working on packaging 4.4 beta 1?08:54
DaskreechYes08:55
hungerDaskreech: Everybody who does not want to eat through the implementation details of half a douzend different protocols, each leaking into the spec.08:55
Daskreechapachelogger: What is that highlighting?08:56
hungerDaskreech: Everybody who does want to know whether a module will work before actually loading and trying it.08:56
apacheloggerDaskreech: my filled up notificationbar, show casing that android needs a different solution for notificaitons :P08:56
DaskreechSo mostly software folks?08:56
* apachelogger notes that his bar is sometimes even more full than on the screenie08:56
Daskreechapachelogger: Iwas trying to figure out what those things were at the top08:57
hungerDaskreech: You know that the preferred method of finding out which version of the spec is supported by a telepathy CM is to get all interfaces you are interested in and count the methods exported via D-Bus?08:57
ghostcubewoha full android so far apachelogger08:57
DaskreechGoogle has really 1/2 baked software stacks08:57
ghostcube:S08:57
* hunger will stop ranting and get back to work:-)08:57
Daskreechhunger: Sad though Hardware people are more likely to throw money at you08:59
DaskreechSoftware people are less likely to show backing without something working08:59

RiddellLex79: koffice doesn't need to keep the -kde4 packages12:01

Riddell12:01 < maelcum> public service announcement: update kde-qt to stop the plasma crashes in taskbar code. somebody backported the appropriate bugfix.12:06
Riddellnow if only I knew how to use git...12:07
ulysses__Riddell: you're welcome12:07
ulysses__Riddell: For Karmic the apt line isn't 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/beta/ubuntu *karmic* main' instead of 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/beta/ubuntu *lucid* main'12:13
ulysses__?12:13
Riddelldoh12:16
Riddellfixed, pending cache update12:16
ulysses__Another issue: after adding the Kubuntu Beta PPA to the sources, the user should use 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' (If he/she uses KDE)12:24
Riddellulysses__: why?12:36
ulysses__Riddell: Why 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' ? I think the most users interested in KDE have Kubuntu12:38
ghostcubei must ack ulysses__ cause i havent thought about installing kubuntu-desktop12:40

RiddellNew queue zero!14:03
=== mgraesslin_ is now known as mgraesslin
Riddellrafasmart: you would probably need a kded module which would use the solid API to listen for new devices and check them for being packages sources when they appear14:04
Riddellunfortunately we don't mount devices when they get mounted, might be worth investigating the status of that upstream14:05
Riddells/get mounted/get inserted/14:05
Tm_Tmounting automatically without possiblity to turn that automount off is evil, btw14:07
RiddellTm_T: why?14:08
RiddellI don't know how gnome does it, if it mounts, checks if it's a package source, then unmounts  (probably not)14:09
Tm_TRiddell: for cd it's ok but for example sd-cards and similar ... I often plug something in, and run fsck for it14:13
RiddellTm_T: why do they need fsck?14:13
Riddelldebfx: don't forget to merge abiword14:15
Tm_TRiddell: for example if I know there's something broken in filesystem (:14:16
Tm_Tor just to check14:16
Riddellmaco: you're down to merge hunspell-en-us14:16
macoRiddell: will do tomorrow14:16
macoaspell as well?14:16
Riddellmaco: not that I can see (I'm just looking through main.html on merges.u.c)14:17
macohm. ok. thought i was TIL on hunspell-en-us and aspell-en or -en-us or whatever it's called14:18

rafasmartRiddell: reading about solid, "...Solid::Notifier that will let you know when your camera has been plugged in", but its not used, right? for example, digikam option appears on any device connected14:22
Riddellrafasmart: that's an action of the sort found in /usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/actions/14:24
Riddellmaybe they could be used for what you're after14:24
binarylooks_Thanks a lot for the beta packages14:36
RiddellLex79 is the dude for them14:37
binarylooks_\o/ for Lex14:37
rafasmartRiddell: for me, adding a action by label of CD solve my problem, but not for kubuntu. if the only way to do this is automounting, i think this police(not automount) deserves be discussed14:45
JontheEchidnaWill polkit-qt-1 require an MIR, since it's basically polkit-qt updated for the new policykit-1 API?14:45
JontheEchidnaoh, already in main :)14:45
RiddellJontheEchidna: I already put it in main14:45
Riddellrafasmart: it's a decent quick solution, do you have a .desktop file which works?14:46
JontheEchidnahttp://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/polkit-kde-1 <- if everything is fine here I can upload the kde frontend14:46
JontheEchidnathen as long as software-center depends on policykit-1-gnome | polkit-kde-1 it can use either :)14:47
