KOPRajshi there... I'm trying to diasable UnredirectFullscreen option in kwinrc in Kubuntu 9.10... there was a bug for this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/327199) and it was fixed in Jaunty but in Karmic there is the same bug again... what more even when I change the settings as suggested it doesn't work... what can I do? Where can I find patches applied to kwin in Kubuntu?12:44

KOPRajsmgraesslin: yes, of course... I've tried even rebooting15:15
KOPRajsstill fullscreen windows are not redirected15:15
KOPRajsone more question... I needed to use my swap partition as transfer file system for Mac OS X so I changed it's ID and made hfs fs on it... Kubuntu of course started to claim it cannot mount all mounts from fstab upon boot... so far expected15:20
KOPRajseverything worked but system had no swap15:21
KOPRajsthen I changed partition's ID back and made a swap on it again15:21
KOPRajsKubuntu still didn't mount it because of different UUID15:22
KOPRajsso I edit /etc/fstab and wrote new UUID for swap there15:23
KOPRajsnow Kubuntu automatically mounts swap upon boot and everything works but while booting the Usplash falls to verbose mode every boot15:24
KOPRajswhy?15:24
KOPRajsthere is no error or warning (at least I didn't notice any)15:25
KOPRajsbut in the moment where kernel initialize is complete and Usplash should show booting progress bar with 0% it falls to console15:26

RiddellScottK: just pondering. I think that's fine, go ahead19:24
Riddellthere may wel be a 4.3.5 at some point too19:24
ScottKIf it every gets to the no regressions point we can upload to updates19:25

ScottKamichair: There is a kubuntu-ppa project that gets some bug reports, some bug reports get in under Ubuntu in LP, and sometimes it comes up on IRC and mail lists.  No single place.19:36
amichair:-/19:37
amichairScottK: in that case, is there anything in particular in kde 4.3.4 backport to be afraid of?19:38

LureScottK: I can - I planned to work on digikam 1.0 backport anyhow, will then do it for beta ppa first20:36
LureScottK: you are probably right20:36

LureScottK: will probably ask you for some guidance in next days20:37

ScottKLure: If it's a package you can upload, you should be able to upload it to *-backports (it will then have to be reivewed/accepted by a backporter - ping me for that).20:45
* Lure thinks we need better naming for ppa packages - current -karmic in beta clashes with backports20:45
LureScottK: I suspect that I can upload then (if my per-package/kubuntu-devel rights are also valid for karmic)20:46
ScottKShould be.  Worth a try.20:46
DaskREEchJontheEchidna: Heh you are in the top 3 on bko21:56

* Sput wonders why kubuntu doesn't package Virtuoso 5.1222:01
DaskREEchSput: Because we are waiting on 6.0.122:02
Sputyeah, but why? :)22:02
SputI mean, better package a slightly older version than having a half-broken KDE around...22:02
ScottKIIRC we thought it'd be sooner than this.22:03
DaskREEchSput: You are welcome to do so if you like. I think someone already started.22:03
DaskREEchMight be _Groo_22:03
SputDaskREEch: not a kubuntu packager :)22:03
Sputor user even22:03
Riddell"SymonHate (symonhate) wants to be a member of Package Archives for Kubuntu (kubuntu-ppa)" hmm, maybe not with a name like that22:04
SputI was just wondering, because I'm reading this in here a lot of time22:04
DaskREEchYeah but there was a full list of things to do and no one wanted to package and test Virtuoso and then have to redo it two days later22:04
SputI see22:04
* Sput isn't sure if there's a lot of difference between 5.x and 6.x so packaging a newer version will be a lot of work again22:04
LureScottK: is https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-backporters/+archive/ppa still used for source-changes backports?22:04
ScottKLure: It was only ever used for testing.22:05
DaskREEchMade a more more sense to package other things. And Debian has a 6.0.1 "package"  but there is no offcial release as yet22:05
DaskREEch I don't think anyone even knows why not22:05
ScottKFor actual backports, just upload to Ubuntu with karmic-backports as your target release.22:05
LureScottK: ok, as I anyway test with my ppa22:05
SputDaskREEch: Gentoo packaged 6.0.0 first, then we figured out that it supposedly caused problems and packaged 5.0.12 too... but no idea as of why upstream is slacking either :/22:06
DaskREEch6.0.0 broke nepomuk. That's been fixed in code now supposedly and there is just people waiting around for a announcement22:07
DaskREEchOf course until then no one is packaging incase they have some last minute crazy bug and change things again22:08
DaskREEchI'd actually prefer that the prerelease 6.0.1 is packaged and tested privately at least22:08
Riddellit wouldn't be a bad idea to have 5.x in, I looked at the suse packaging and there's some patches but nothing unusual.  of course unlike gentoo we have releases, there's no expectation that it'll work before april22:10
DaskREEchSput: you were talking about Koala specifically?22:11
SputRiddell: well, I suppose lucid users would be glad to have a working KDE 4.4 :)22:11
SputDaskREEch: nah, not really... I don't think KDE 4.3 really needs nepomuk (plus the sesame backend still works there)22:11
Sputbut 4.4 doesn't work without virtuoso22:11
DaskREEchand virtuoso doesn't work :)22:12
DaskREEchTouchy eh?22:12
Sputwell, 5.0.12 does :)22:12
Sputquite fine actually, here22:12
* Sput needs to figure out why akonadi randomly complains about nepomuk not running, suspecting a race condition on startup22:13
* ScottK has nepomuk classified in "Stuff that makes his system annoyingly slow".22:13
SputScottK: with sesame, certainly22:14
* Sput was able to finally remove all traces of java the other day22:14
Sputfrom my system22:14
DaskREEchHmm actually I remember someone was talking about a Save/ Open with  /Open with other dialog for KDE 4.422:16
DaskREEchDid It missit? I just realised the dialog only offers me a single application22:16
* Lure will first test nepomuk/virtuoso speed before enabling digikam's nepomuk support22:17
DaskREEchI'm testing bangarang and it's near useless without Nepomuk :(22:19
ryanakcaDaskREEch: Yeah. I'm stuck between virtuoso not being installable and not wanting to install sesame2/java on my netbook.22:22
DaskREEchWhich is why I think that the pre release debian package should be tested22:23
shtylmanryanakca: do you still have the new kubuntu site mockup?22:24
DaskREEchIt's something and in my mind at least is some semblence of progress22:25
DaskREEch and the best thing that can happen is the final release is exactly the same and we can unveil hours after the announcement22:25
ryanakcashtylman: Aye22:26
DaskREEchWorst is that stuff needs to be changed and it has to be repackaged but with some known expectations of bugs/performance expectations22:26

Sputryanakca: if you're already running KDE 4.4, sesame wouldn't help you much, as Nepomuk refuses to use it (except for importing old data)22:34
Sputthat said, it seems to suck slightly (in particular for binary distros) that Nepomuk requires both sesame and Virtuoso to be able to import old data, hence one needs to drag the java stuff into the package to allow migration...22:35
* Sput likes the idea behind Akonadi/Nepomuk, but the implementation is wrecking havoc everywhere22:36
DaskREEchWell I've never got Strigi working since KDE 4.0 so I have no data which I guess is a good thing now22:37
