persianeversfelde: Instead of overriding dh_auto_install, you might also try adding "export INSTALL_ROOT ..." somewhere for the child makefile to use.  This depends on the child makefile config.01:33
neversfeldepersia: I do not have time to look at this now, but I will try it. Thanks.01:34
persiaNo rush :)01:36
* ScottK notes RC2 seems to work a lot more smoothly than RC1 on his netbook. RC1 is much smoother than the last beta (which seemed stuck in swap all the time with 1GB RAM)01:52
Lex79ScottK: Qt 4.6.1 builds fine, but kdebase-runtime against Qt 4.6.1 doesn't, I need to ask sandsmark if he can fix that02:17
Lex79since it's due to his phonon patch02:17
Lex79http://pastebin.ca/176603102:19
ScottKYes, please.02:26
Lex79done, he will see tomorrow02:30
Lex79I found the problem, kdebase-runtime ftbs due to this change in Qt http://pastebin.ca/176606903:19
Lex79we will fix tomorrow03:19

nixternalok, I am so in the mood to do some coding, all of this documentation is driving me up a wall04:32
nixternalwhy does our channel look so bare? only 65 people04:32

jeponghello... upgrade my kubuntu karmic to KDE 4.4 RC2 now i have 2 panel... is this a bug?05:07
shtylmanapachelogger: I was unaware we still wanted that :) ... I thought it was going to non fullscreen05:39
shtylmanapachelogger: but I can make the changes if needed05:39
ScottKshtylman: Is the new theme that came with rc 2 yours?05:46
shtylmanScottK: what new theme?05:46
ScottKI don't have the checkerboard anymore.05:47
shtylmanwallpaper?05:47
ScottKYeah05:47
ScottKSorry for the imprecision.05:47
shtylmannope...no idea who's05:47
shtylmanI havn't actually seen it yet05:47
shtylmanhavn't updated recently05:47
ScottKOK, it's a huge step forward.05:48
shtylmanscreenshot?05:49
shtylmanis it a kde thing05:49
shtylmanor just a kubuntu thing?05:49
shtylmanScottK: what is it called?05:51
* ScottK digs for the netbook05:51
ScottKNo idea if it's KDE or Kubuntu05:51
ScottKWallpaper is Ethaid by Nuno Pinheiro, so I guess upstream.05:52

ScottKNow you can be motivated to update.05:53
shtylmanindeed05:53
shtylmanhmm..dunno about the white glow where the lines meet05:53
ScottKPretty much the opposite of what we had before.  Radically plain.05:53
shtylmanbut I kinda like it in general05:53
shtylmanyea...wonder what it took to convince pinheiro05:54
ScottK5 guys, baseball bats, dark alley ....05:54
ScottKNo idea really.05:55
shtylmanhaha05:55
shtylmansame kdm theme though?05:56
shtylmanI guess I will need to update mine... and we can use mine with the new wallpaper...05:56
shtylmankde is frozen05:56
shtylmanso its up to us... if we accept it :)05:56
* ScottK stays out of artwork arguments.05:58
* ScottK just always uses the default.05:58

shtylmaneveryone is an artist when it comes to opinions06:03
nixternalok, I just fired up lucid daily-live iso right, and the new kde wallpaper is brown in qemu...is this real or a joke?06:12
nixternalalso, we need to move the uBlog widget, as on a 1024 screen it doesn't fit correctly06:13
ScottKnixternal: It's not brown on my netbook.06:32

Riddelltseliot: what's your problem with jockey and pykde?  I have it compiled now so I should check that's fixed11:18
tseliotRiddell: simply try to rebuild jockey and see if there's a problem with po files11:19
tseliotRiddell: if it builds, then problem solved11:20
Riddelltseliot: I just did a bzr co bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-core-dev/jockey/ubuntu/ and it builds fine11:22

MamarokRiddell: amichair can't join, is the channel still set to +R?12:07
Riddelloh fooey12:08
RiddellI wonder how I unset that12:08
RiddellJontheEchidna: crimsun added that to the seed so best wait for him to wake up and decide what should be done12:10
JontheEchidnacool,the i386 iso fits on a CD12:12
JontheEchidnaRiddell: Oh, a follow up to the dist-upgrade stuff for kubuntu-notification-helper. Harald sez that PackageKit's dist-upgrade notification can be patched to hook in to update-manager-kde (instead of update-manager-gnome)12:14
JontheEchidnaso assuming he can get the patch to chose -kde in kde and -gnome in gnome we'll be able to use PackageKit for dist-upgrade notification12:14
JontheEchidnaand it'll hook into our existing systems12:14
JontheEchidnaso I've disabled the dist-upgrade stuff I wrote for kubuntu-notification-helper, but am keeping it around in case PackageKit falls through or if in the future we ever decide to not use it anymore12:15
RiddellI didn't know packagekit had dist upgrade notification12:16
Riddelldantti: know anything about that?12:16
Tm_TRiddell: do we keep +r until server migration?12:16
Riddellglatzor said he's too busy to do the packagekit update and asked me to do it12:17
jussi01Ill fix it, +r is the block unidentified12:17
danttiRiddell: not sure I followed it, but the aptcc backend does dist-upgrade12:17
danttiwas that the question?12:18
danttiwhat is update-manager-kde?12:18
jussi01Mamarok: amichair should be all good now12:18
Riddelldantti: I mean distro version upgrade notification (rather than apt's dist-upgrade method)12:18
Mamarokjussi01: yes, I know12:18
Riddelldantti: for upgrading between ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, does packagekit have a way of notified that a new version is available?12:19
danttiRiddell: hmm I think apachelogger asked me about that, and in KPackageKit version 0.5.x I set an env var called DESKTOP=kde12:19
Riddellamichair: welcome back12:19
amichairRiddell: groovy, thanks :-)12:19
danttiRiddell: well from a backend point of view I don't know how to detect that, I know PackageKit has a method to do that but in aptcc i didn't implement that,12:19
danttithe python version afair implements but looking at update-**-gnome it's just an apt-get dist-upgrade so IMO that tool is useless (till someone say I'm wrong)12:20
apacheloggerRiddell: a) glatzor needs to apply a patch to packagekit b) we need to patch packagekit and kpk in karmic12:21
apacheloggerthen kpk/pk is able to invoke that do-upgrade thingy to invoke an upgrade12:22
Riddellapachelogger: why is karmic an issue?  it has update-notifier-kde and should work fine12:23
apacheloggeroh12:23
apacheloggeractually12:23
apacheloggerRiddell: kpk and unk are conflicting12:23
Riddellhow so?12:23
apacheloggerkpk will still notify and try to invoke the script, which fails since the unpatched pk goes for the GTK UI in all cases12:23
apacheloggerRiddell: upgrade detection in pk is working just fine, the upgrade execution itself not though12:24
danttiapachelogger: how is that detected?12:24
danttiso I can add this to aptcc too12:24
Riddellfor Ubuntu you need to read http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release12:25
apacheloggerwell12:26
danttiand this upgrate-* thing is any better than apt-get  dist-upgrade?12:26
apacheloggerthe apt backend for pk12:26
apacheloggeris written in python12:26
apacheloggerso is the library to check for new releases12:26
apacheloggerso the backend just invokes the check for new releases every time it updates the cache I suppose12:26
apacheloggerit defenitely uses the library though12:26
danttihmm so to have aptcc doing that I'd need to either have a pyhelper or write in cpp what that lib does..12:27
danttiapachelogger: but using the gnome version of this update stuff i really find it useless, do you know what good has in it?12:28
apacheloggerthere is a compability lib so you can access python from within cpp12:28
apacheloggerdantti: what gnome version?12:29
danttiright do you know which lib?12:29
apacheloggerhttp://docs.python.org/c-api/12:29
danttiapachelogger: http://packages.debian.org/sid/update-manager-core12:29
danttiis that tool that is invoked?12:30
apacheloggerI believe so12:30
apacheloggerthough I do not think it is depending on gksu on ubuntu12:30
apacheloggerReplaces: update-manager (<< 1:0.93.7)12:31
apacheloggerDepends: python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.5), python-central (>= 0.6.11), python2.6, python-apt (>= 0.7.5), lsb-release, python-gnupginterface12:31
apacheloggerRecommends: libpam-modules (>= 1.0.1-9ubuntu3)12:31
apacheloggerConflicts: computer-janitor (<= 1.11-0ubuntu1),12:31
danttiright, but really I looked at it's code and it seems to do nothing more than a dist-upgrade, so imo this tool is kind of useless :P12:31
apacheloggerwell on debian maybe :P12:32
danttias we can do dist-upgrade all whithin PK12:32
apacheloggeron ubuntu it checks http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release for new releases12:32
danttiapachelogger: right but after you know it has a new realease, at least on debian it's nothing more than updating a bunch of stuff...12:33
danttiwhat it could do is to add the new version repo...12:33
apacheloggerhttp://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#xNWLctYKLvE/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/feisty.tar.gz%7C1y9FfdRMCzs/DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py&q=DistUpgradeFetcherCore.p12:33
apacheloggerdantti: that is handled by do-release-upgrade on ubuntu12:34
apacheloggeractually, do-release-upgrade will download the appropriate libs for updates and then start the update UI12:34
apacheloggerand then the update tool takes care of adding the new version and deactivatig unofficial repos and removing old cruft....12:34
Riddelldantti: a straight dist-upgrade is not what's tested for ubuntu release updates and there's various reasons why it doesn't generally work, that tool will work12:39
danttiRiddell: right then I'll try to make use of it in aptcc :)12:42
danttiapachelogger: and do you need me to patch Pk to make call the right script?12:44
danttii think you said glatzor is busy..12:45
apacheloggerdantti: no, I need to patch pk to call the script with the right arguments12:45
danttiapachelogger: well if you already have something i can push there or i can write the patch if you tell me exactally what is needed12:46
apacheloggerI have the patch somewhere12:47
apacheloggerjust need to find it ^^12:47
apacheloggerdantti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/363218/12:51
danttiapachelogger: that patch seems fine do you know if glatzor was ok?12:53
apacheloggerhe did not respond12:54
apacheloggerthough I talked with him about it and he asked me to provide a patch ;)12:54
apacheloggerit's non-invasive anyway, since as long as DESKTOP is not kde (which it only is if invoked by kpk), the script will still launch the GTK interface12:55
danttiapachelogger: ok, i'll just tell Richard about it and if he's fine I'll patch so next 0.6 and 0.5 versions have it..12:55
apacheloggerkthx :)12:55
danttiapachelogger: k, pushing it :)13:01
Mamarokwhat's wrong with the partitionmanager? It keeps segfaulting and I can't get a valid backtrace13:11
ScottKapachelogger: Why would we want to bother with kpk if knh is working to dist upgrade notification?13:31
* ScottK has yet to touch kpk and not come away feeling unclean.13:32
apacheloggerScottK: because we are fixing something instead of rewriting it in a doubtlessly less clean way13:33
ScottKI just want the nice little update icon back.13:33
ScottKThe kpk cyborg monstrosity of a notification is horrible.13:34
apacheloggerwell, unk does the same now13:34
apacheloggergo blame upstream for their policy on notifications :P13:34
ScottKWe aren't "fixing" reboot required the same way are we?13:35
apacheloggerwe did?13:35
ScottKI hope not13:35
apacheloggerthe cpp version throws up a notification rather than an icon13:35
ScottKSigh.13:35
ScottKBad plan13:36
apacheloggerI am not sure what the greater picture behind it is13:36
ScottKThe kpk updates notification is totally disruptive.13:36
apacheloggerthough if it should at some point become clear the cpp unk is thoughtfully enough designed to migrate with minimum change13:36
apacheloggerScottK: well, since it is popping up over and over again, each time it refreshes the cache I suppose13:37
ScottKHaving it be a notification at all is a problem.13:37
ScottKapachelogger: Or each time you get some other notification.13:37
apacheloggerwell, it wants to notify you of something important13:37
ScottKSeriously, this is a problem.13:37
apacheloggerso unless you acknowledge the notification...13:37
apacheloggerwhich kind of makes sense13:37
apacheloggerthough I feel your pain13:37
ScottKExcept it's almost never important.13:37
ScottKUpdates should not be in your face.13:38
ScottKThey should be subtly mentioned so that you can deal with it when ready.13:38
apacheloggeroh goodness13:40
apacheloggervirtualbox fails to acknowledge the existance of kdesu/kdesudo13:40
apacheloggeroh13:40
ScottKI think what we had before was just about ideal from a U/I perspective.13:40
apacheloggerit ignores kde alltogether13:40
apacheloggerhooray13:40
apacheloggerI hope oracle will beat all the sun software to death so that someone feels motivated to create sensible solutions13:41
apachelogger"Fill out the Sun Contributor's Agreement (SCA)"13:42
apacheloggerah, they do not even want me to fix it13:42
* ScottK has a similar problem with Google.13:43
ScottKMy policy on copyright assignment is "I have a consulting rate for that."13:43
apacheloggermy all new policy on them is to ask neversfelde what he thinks about the content, upon which he hopefully says that it is a load of foo so that I have a good reason not to sign it :P13:45
* apachelogger is wondering why jockey refuses to pop-up13:45
Riddellapachelogger: http://paste.ubuntu.com/363239/ that method seems to have disappeared in 4.4 korundum13:45
ScottKSeriously: Is there nothing we can do to restore sanity on update/upgrade notification?13:45
apacheloggerScottK: go talk to upstream13:46
apacheloggerRiddell: the iconsize method?13:46
ScottKapachelogger: About?  Just because upstream provides a notification system does not mean it has to be used for everything.13:46
apacheloggerI have been told that upstreams POV is that no notification should be carried via a systray icon, but a notification, hence kpk uses notifications and not a systray icon13:47
ScottKUpstream kpk or upstream KDE?13:48
apacheloggerKDE13:48
ScottKI didn't figure we'd get kpk to change.13:48
ScottKU/I pedantry at the expense of the user is not what I thought we were about.13:48
apacheloggeroh wellz13:49
apacheloggergo ask the KDE HCI people to establish a policy on notifications, taking persistent notifications just as those from kpk into account13:49
ScottKI had high hopes for jonny's notifier being sane.13:49
apacheloggerAFAIK there is no clear guideline on that13:49
apacheloggerScottK: it is sane, just currently the sanity is what we have been told is considered best praticse :P13:50
ScottKMaybe when he gets back I can talk him into providing something good.13:50
apacheloggeras I said, the design is flexible enough to change the definition of best practise rather easily13:50
ScottKThat's good.13:50
apacheloggerScottK: jonny is not the dude to talk to13:50
apacheloggerKDE HCI is13:50
ScottKMeh.13:50
apacheloggerif we do it that way and KDE chooses to go another one we will end up with a rather unintegrated system13:51
ScottKCan the kpk notifications be turned off easily?13:51
apacheloggerScottK: in the kpk settings13:51
apacheloggerhm13:53
apacheloggeris Copyrign a real word?13:53
apacheloggeror do Sun employees just not know how to write Copyright13:53
apacheloggerah13:54
apacheloggerits a firm :D13:54
apachelogger<3 grep and distorted screen muahahaha :D13:54
* apachelogger got too much coffee13:54
apacheloggeroh my13:54
Riddelljussi01: happy Australia day13:56
apacheloggerruphy: since I am gone until tomorrow... it would be very nice if you could provide a step-by-step guide on that kmess friendly name issue... I was failing to reproduce it with 2.0, thought that might be related to KDE 4.4rc2?13:59
jussi01Riddell: thanks!14:03
Sputapachelogger: the sensible solution is called "KVM/qemu"14:05
Sputlike, you know, all free and stuff14:05
ScottKSput: I thought the sensible solution to replacing Sun products was Postgresql.14:06
SputScottK: that was the other product14:06
Sputit's kinda hard to replace VirtualBox by pgsql :)14:06
apacheloggerSput: with crappy UI and all too :P14:11
Sputapachelogger: who needs UI...14:11
apacheloggerjust imagine a VM written in pgsql14:11
apacheloggermuahaha14:11
apacheloggerthat would be kinky :D14:11
apacheloggerRiddell: so what is the method that is not available in korundum 4.4?14:12
Riddellapachelogger: iconSize14:15
apacheloggerRiddell: sounds like a bug, so you should tell rdale about it ... but in general it can be migrated to setIconSize(16)14:16
apacheloggerediting properties via propertyName = value is a special feature of korundum, but is equal to setPropertyName(value)14:17
RiddellI'll poke kdebindings mailing list with that and the patches from Debian too14:18
apacheloggerok14:20
apacheloggergotta go14:27

Riddellwe already had the meeting14:58
ScottKRight.14:58
Riddellpersia, rbelem: if you're planning on having ubuntu liquid released with lucid you should talk to slangasek about getting it on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseManifest15:23
persiaWe're not expecting to have images released.15:23
persiaAt the current time, we don't even have public instructions on how to compile a kernel for the target hardware.15:24
persiaOf course, if this changes quickly enough, we may do so.15:24
persiaBut I'll confirm in case I'm misunderstanding that n810/n900 is the target.15:25
Riddellthat simplifies things :)15:25
persiaWhile I've your attention, do you anticipate we'd have any issues exposing a libkcontrol and libkcontrol-dev?15:27
persia(alternately we can do more brute-force source copy when building kdm-mobile, etc.)15:27
ScottKRiddell: Looking at the manifest, I see it calls for Kubuntu Netbook to be a "netbook-remix" image.  I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I'm pretty sure it's not called that now.15:29
RiddellI don't think it means anything15:31
ScottKOK.15:31
ScottKJust checking.15:31

ScottKI'm not sure how well it was announced.15:34
persiaIt was very pooly announced, but it's marked as DONE on the action list, so it's done.15:35
Lex79Riddell: I saw you uploaded kdebindings :) did you upload also qscintilla2 ? It's in ninja15:39
RiddellLex79: good point, let me look at that15:40
ScottKNightrose: Could someone from amarok look at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-distributed-devel/2010-January/000410.html and see what they can do to be helpful.15:43
daskreech:-( Curses my friend on Gentoo has nepomuk search working15:45
RiddellScottK: I don't think that has anything to do with Nightrose or upstream amarok.  they asked for an import years ago and that's probably what's still around but it was the launchpad developers who did it15:46
ScottKRiddell: Oh.  OK.  Thanks.15:46
danttiScottK: reading backlogs seems that you don't like kpk notifications what do you think is better?15:51
ScottKdantti: I think the systray icon we had before was a far superior solution.15:52
ScottKPart of the problem with a notification is it re-appears everytime some other notification comes in so it is completely disruptive.15:53
ScottKI think that's inherent with using an notification and the only solution is not to use one.15:53
danttiScottK: hmm well kpk systray icon was added later than notifications, and i disabled it after one release15:53
Lex79Riddell: maybe retry python-qt415:53
ScottKdantti: By before, I mean before kpk.15:53
ScottKLex79: Is SIP fixed?15:54
danttiScottK: right, but that's how notifications in kde suck15:54
ScottKdantti: Yes, so let's avoid the suck.15:54
danttithey should be stacked as someone else proposed15:54
Lex79seems yes15:54
* ScottK retries.15:54
Lex79https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sip4-qt3/4.10.0-0ubuntu115:54
danttiScottK: and it's persistent so the user has to interact with it15:55
danttiI was thinking of putting the systray icon back optionally15:55
ScottKdantti: Certainly, but it can be persistent without being aggravating.15:55
ScottKdantti: I would REALLY appreciate that.15:55
danttiI didn't do that yet cause i hate icon systray just to warn you of something..15:56
danttiScottK: by aggravating you mean what?15:56
Riddellit should be a choice between the two though, currently we have both showing with kpackagekit 0.415:56
Riddellwasn't seele looking into this?15:56
danttisystray scace is so precious to me (with 1024x768 res)15:56
danttiRiddell: afair kubuntu patched to reenable it..15:57
ScottKdantti: I find the notification really intrusive.15:57
ScottKSystray use is configurable by the user now, so it's really up to the individual.15:58
ScottKOn my netbook it feels like it takes up half the screen.15:58
danttiScottK: well that's somehow the idea, hey Update it, but it shouldn't bother the user after a first click...15:58
ScottKdantti: But then it pops back up with any other notification that comes in.15:58
ScottKGenerally I don't update my systems when I'm in the middle of work.  I do it when it's convenient for me.15:59
danttiyes, but that's not how it should behave, that's why i say kde notification suck15:59
ScottKSo I either get revisited by the notification each time any notification comes in or it goes away entirely.15:59
danttiit should be there till the user clicks on it to get rid of it15:59
ScottKSo the systray solution is much nicer IMO.15:59
danttiright16:00
ScottKIt appears and sits there as a quiet reminder until you are ready to deal with it.16:00
ScottKThe other argument is that users don't understand it.16:00
ScottKI tested our old one on my totally non-technical teenagers and they understand it.16:00
ScottKPhilosophically, this should only be a notification if updates are an attribute of the workspace.  I'm not sure this is right anyway.   I think one can equally argue it's an attribute of the application update application and systray is a perfectly fine way to manage it.16:02
danttiScottK: hmm by old what do you mean?16:02
ScottKdantti: The pre-kpk icon that we used in Kubuntu.16:02
ScottKFor Intrepid/Jaunty.16:02
danttik, it's just so you can understand, it started as a notification, then one guy changed the notification and added the systray icon... so by old i think it's the original i created... :P16:03
ScottKRight, for me old is pre-kpk.16:04
ScottKI don't think I've ever seen the kpk systray icon.16:04
ScottKI care a lot less about what the actual icon looks like than systray versus popup.16:05
danttiScottK: so i think I'll change it to: notification("hey you have 20 updates!", action["Update now", "Don't ask again"], timeout 15 secs), and when the notification closes and the user doesn't click on one of the option if will show the systray icon...16:05
danttiScottK: what do you think?16:05
ScottKThat would be an improvement.16:06
daskreechScottK: teenagers are attentive to moving things16:06
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
ScottKI'd like the option to not have the popup at all and just have the icon appear16:06
ScottKIdeally "you have 20 updates" would be a tooltip for the icon.16:06
danttiScottK: but one icon doesn't mean to much for most user16:06
danttithe user HAS to put a moush over it to see what it's about16:07
ScottKdantti: My view is the ones that don't manage to figure out to update based on the icon won't do updates anyway.16:07
danttiso imo a notification is a must.16:07
ScottKdantti: I think that the system insisting on breaking the user's work flow for anything other than imminent data loss is wrong.16:08
ScottKFor anythin short of that it ought to be up to the user to decide how they want to have it work.16:08
ScottKdantti: I think notification followed by the icon is a reasonable default.16:08
danttiok16:09
ScottKdantti: Equally I feel an option to not have the notification is essential.16:09
danttiso change [ X ] "notify when updates are available" to [ X ] "notify when updates are available" combo ["Notification and Icon", "only notification", "only icon"]16:10
daskreechRiddell: is there going to be any effort to unify the look of prompts in Kubuntu?16:11
ScottKdantti: I think so, yes.16:11
Riddellprompts?16:11
shadeslayeris quilt required for building rekonq in a PPA or should i remove it?16:22
Riddellshadeslayer: does it have any patches is the question16:45
shadeslayerRiddell: all applied upstream16:47
ScottKThen it's probably not needed, but it doesn't hurt to leave it.16:52
shadeslayer_Riddell: sorry got disconnected,you were saying?16:53
Riddell16:52 < ScottK> Then it's probably not needed, but it doesn't hurt to leave it.16:53
shadeslayer_ok one more question,with so many PPA's in launchpad,is the changelog supposed to reflect every change in those PPA's or just mine?16:54
drdanz!find kde.pm karmic16:55
ubottuPackage/file kde.pm does not exist in karmic16:55
drdanz!find kde.pm lucid16:56
ubottuFile kde.pm found in pkg-kde-tools16:56
Riddellit should reflect the changes between the version you are uploading and the previous version from your or the main archive16:56
shadeslayer_ok thanks for the info :D16:57
shadeslayer_and btw if i changed the version to package-version-0ubuntu1+lucid1~ppa1 should i change the tarball to match it?17:05
ScottKNo.17:05
ScottKYou also probably want 0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa117:05
Riddellno need to include lucid in the version number, we know that's what were developing for17:05
ScottKTrue17:06
ScottKThat pattern is good for earlier releases though17:06
nixternalRiddell: no, it is a Kubuntu CD...it must be the graphics or something with qemu17:06
Riddellnixternal: or your eyes? :)17:07
nixternalcould have been :)17:07
shadeslayer_ScottK: so just package-version-0ubuntu1~ppa1 ?17:07
ScottKYep17:08
Riddellshadeslayer_: you're missing the usptream version there17:08
Riddelloh "version" is upstream, that's fine17:08
shadeslayer_Riddell: um ScottK told me to remove it17:08
shadeslayer_oh i thought you meant lucid117:08
shadeslayer_Riddell: yeah its like : rekonq-0.3.3~ppa117:09
shadeslayer_meh forgot 0ubuntu117:09
shadeslayer_ScottK: but i have rekonq - 0.3.32-0ubuntu1 in my PPA,so dont think that will work..17:10
ScottKProbably not.17:10
shadeslayer_ScottK: ok im uploading 0.3.33 so it should imp17:10
shadeslayer_*imo17:10
daskreechRiddell: Like kdesudo and kpolicykit17:18
_Groo_hi/2 all17:19
shadeslayer_Groo_: hi17:20
shadeslayerhmm : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/363332/ : even though i have rekonq_0.3.33.orig.tar.gz17:24
shadeslayerdaskreech: oh btw,choqok 32 bit packages were built,try them out if you like :)17:24
_Groo_i just did them and gonna upload to ppa as soon as ppas stabilizes17:28
shadeslayer_Groo_: hmm?17:30
shadeslayerbtw any ideas on that pastebin?17:30
_Groo_shadeslayer: choqok.. i just did a package from today svn17:32
_Groo_shadeslayer: with support for favorites and public tabs17:33
shadeslayer_Groo_: oh awesome,mine is a day old :P,maybe you can help me with my error? ( rekonq from git,pastebin above )17:33
shadeslayerhmm the build works if i rename the tar ball to just rekonq_0.3.33.tar.gz 0_o17:35
_Groo_shadeslayer: let me guess, it borks with the stupid qt tests?17:35
_Groo_shadeslayer: what distro? and pastebin your rules file17:36
alleeFWIW: bangarang is beta2 in lucid,  sid has aleady 1.0 pkg (as well as samrog131's ppa).  Maybe better no deliver a beta in LTS ;)17:37

ScottKNCommander: SIP, python-qt3, and python-qt4 in Debian are in real need of your attention again.17:49
NCommanderScottK, ugh, what blew up?17:50
ScottKNCommander: SIP out of date and binNMUs for python2.6 transition did not go well.17:50
ScottKWhich had the knock on effect of blowing up the kdebindings binNMU17:51
NCommanderScottK, can I start crying in the corner now?17:51
ScottKNCommander: Riddell seems to have got it sorted here, so you can "give back" to Debian.17:51
NCommanderRiddell, sorry about that, I should have been on top of it :-/17:52
NCommanderRiddell, got a debdiff :-)?17:52
ScottKFor SIP and python-qt4 it's new versions.17:53
ScottKOTOH, qt4-x11 4.6 is still just in Experimental in Debian, so it may be premature.17:53
_Groo_shadeslayer: its aparently ok, since im building for lucid i dont know what could be wrong.. i suggest you delete the tar.rbz2 files and debuild -us -uc and see what it gives17:53

seeleRiddell: what needs done and what do i need to do?18:24
_Groo_btw i STRONGLY recommend you guys think about using rekonq for 10.04.. with latest features, rekonq just rocks...18:25
Riddellseele: I need a week without a KDE or a Kubuntu release preferably18:25
shadeslayer_Groo_: thanks :)18:25
_Groo_shadeslayer: yeah thats it :)18:25
shadeslayer_Groo_: we dont have some features yet though18:25
seeleRiddell: so what does that mean? end of Feb?18:25
_Groo_Riddell: can you point me to the ppa where kdebindings is compiling? i wanna get the diff and test locally to see if i can build it18:26
_Groo_shadeslayer: you mean lists?18:26
Riddellseele: I believe we have neither next week, maybe I'll manage then18:26
shadeslayer_Groo_: i mean rekonq still has randomn lockups on flash sites etc18:26
Riddellseele: if not you can kidnap me the week after and lock me in a room until I do it18:26
Quintasan:D18:26
Riddell_Groo_: it's in lucid18:26
_Groo_shadeslayer: did you tried the 0.3.33 build from yesterday? now it has support for multithreading , so the gui doesnt lock anymore18:27
seeleRiddell: hmm.. that might have consequences i dont feel like dealing with18:27
shadeslayer_Groo_: lol im the docs maintainer so i have to be on the latest build :P18:27
_Groo_Riddell: really??? uploaded to main? cause i updated just a few hours ago18:27
_Groo_shadeslayer: i make my own packages for rekonq since 0.1 :) im not saying its perfect but its better then konqueror, and would allow to free space for kubuntu cd18:28
Riddellhello asac18:28
shadeslayer_Groo_: thats true :)18:28
asacRiddell: hi ;)18:29
shadeslayer_Groo_: but rather than giving users a half baked browser on a LTS i would suggest making arora default for the time being... maybe 10.1018:30
asac(wanted to join here for a bit for our liquid effort)18:30
_Groo_shadeslayer: arora isnt better then rekonq, i test them both and rekonq always have more features/more stable18:31
_Groo_shadeslayer: also now rekonq has integration for kget and kwallet, arora is a qt only app..18:32
_Groo_Riddell: wheres is kdebindings in lucid? cant find it18:32
shadeslayer_Groo_: btw just looking at the code and multi threads are only for the URL bar18:33

_Groo_shadeslayer: well compared with konqueror and chromium, rekonq is in good shape18:42
_Groo_shadeslayer: and its progressing very well and fast :)18:42
shadeslayer_Groo_: i think chromium > rekonq > konqueror , though in terms of KDE apps rekonq > konqueror > chromium18:43
_Groo_shadeslayer: my thought exactly... kubuntu would do better to ship rekonq instead of konqueror by default, or if have enough room , ship chromium instead of firefox18:45

prefrontalsvn can also be configured with --with-kwallet19:05
prefrontalbut i do not use a keyring or a wallet, making this extremely annoying19:06
prefrontalmy gnome keyring doesn't even have a password so I can't perform svn actions19:06

ScottKprefrontal: It's also compiled with kwallet19:40
ScottKOr if it turns out it's not, that's a regression.  It was earlier in the cycle.19:40

ScottK_Groo_: There was some discussion earlier about it working if you just change MTU to 144019:51

_Groo_ScottK: but nm-applet use the same backend and it works fine without changes19:51
JontheEchidna_Groo_: I tend to keep the snapshots up to date, but Debian really does all the packaging and otherwise it's group maintained by kubuntu19:51
ScottKTm_T: I don't have gnome itself installed here, but I hit the problem as well, so the keyring got pulled in by some depends/recommends.19:52
_Groo_JontheEchidna: ah ok jon, i also do the ocasional package for it, but its only for personal use19:52
ScottK_Groo_: I'm just telling you what I've been told works.  I don't have the hardware.19:52

ScottKNice19:53
_Groo_ScottK: thats old info, that mtu trick was to get a connection, that was fixed about 2 updates ago.. the problem now is that knetwork cant activate the correct dns settings, you are connected but you cant navigate, not even chagning resolv.conf manually19:53

dhillon-v10Riddell: can you have a look here: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/98783 what should I tell this guy ? could that be a bug20:16
ScottKnixternal: Any chance you could look at our Eric package and make the python-qt3 build-dep go away?20:16
shadeslayercomplete pastebin : http://paste.ubuntu.com/363430/20:16
Riddelldhillon-v10: since you don't know the answer, don't give an answer20:17
ScottKdhillon-v10: That's not at all related to Kubuntu.  Please take it #launchpad in any case.20:17
ScottK(but I agree with Riddell)20:17
Riddelldhillon-v10: you have a habit of getting ahead of yourself, like you reviewed a patch for kdelibs without having every coded in that area20:18
dhillon-v10Riddell, ScottK yah I wasn't going to give the answer anyways, so I though I might ask you, but I will ask in #launchpad, btw i never answer questions that i don't know of though20:18
nixternalScottK: I can look at that beast20:18
ScottKnixternal: Thanks.20:19
ScottKdhillon-v10: I will remind you that my first interaction with you was a bogus answer you gave to a question I asked on Launchpad.  You might consider a tighter filter on what you think you know the answer to.20:21
marcosRzguys20:22
marcosRzits here that is discussed kpackagekit?20:22
dhillon-v10ScottK: I keep that in mind every time I come to this channel :) I guess I am better off not worrying about launchpad stuff20:23
ScottKI think if you are going to focus, you actually ought to do it.20:23
marcosRzGuys, I'm going to checkout kpackagekit to fix it20:24
marcosRzseriously20:24
marcosRzkpackagekit is wayyyy worse than synaptic20:24
dhillon-v10ScottK: I am actually doing a lot, I got the kde web bugs down to like 5 or so that really need to be worked upon, also working on the docs and did a lot of bugs there, now starting off with kdelibs20:24
marcosRzyo20:25
marcosRzwhos responsible for kpackagekit?20:25
ScottKdhillon-v10: I understand this.  I think you'd be better of focusing in some areas and doing those few things well before learning new ones.20:26
ScottKmarcosRz: dantti20:26
marcosRzok great20:26
marcosRzI'm going to talk to him, so maybe I can help with kpackagekit because right know its the worst gui front-end I've ever used for dpkg20:26
Riddellharsh20:27
marcosRzI'm serious20:28
marcosRzthis is ridiculous --> http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/2392/imagem1zq.png20:28
marcosRzHaving to use synaptic on kubuntu20:29
dhillon-v10ScottK: you are right, my apologies, same to you Riddell20:30
marcosRzthis is the times that I hate canonical, they treat kubuntu as a side project20:30
marcosRzall the glorry and cool and polish stuff goes to ubuntu20:30
ScottKmarcosRz: In fairness, synaptic wasn't developed by Canonical.20:32
nixternalmarcosRz: I hate to admit it, but in this case you aren't correct with that statement...now if you were to bash the software store or whatever it is called, then you would be closer20:32
nixternaland...shit, ScottK said what I was going to say20:32
ScottKnixternal: You are a slow old man.20:33
ScottK;-)20:33
macowhich of you is older?20:33
nixternalI knew that would come back to bite me :p20:33
ScottKI am.20:33
nixternalScottK is older20:33
marcosRzI know but synaptic was like shit on conectiva, and then they added a bunch of stuff20:33
nixternalgod asks him for advice20:33
macoconectiva? as in the thing that mixed with mandrake to get mandriva?20:34
marcosRzyes20:34
macobut i think mandriva was rpm-based20:34
nixternal$deity asks him for advice, don't want to disrespect20:34
macos/think/thought/20:34
marcosRzconectiva was debian based20:34
marcosRz@_@20:34
nixternaloh wow, I remember connectiva20:34
macoweird20:34
Riddellconectiva ported apt to rpm20:34
macooh, thats who thought that was a good idea?20:34
ScottKWhich is the only thing that saved me when I ran opensuse20:35
macoheh well yeah...if yast's your alternative....20:35
macobut they have zypper now!20:35
macoand it doesnt suck!20:35
ScottKIt did in opensuse 10.120:35
marcosRzseriously20:35
marcosRzIt seems that noone treats kde "correctly"20:35
nixternali do20:36
marcosRzAnd the one that gets closer is openSuse20:36
marcosRzThey actually care about KDE20:36
marcosRzeven through they hire a bunch of gnome guys20:36
ScottKmarcosRz: It's not all one way.  We have less Canonical support than Ubuntu, but the community has a lot more say in Kubuntu than Ubuntu.  Personally, I'm good with that tradeoff.20:36
marcosRzI don't think so. I mean canonical is moved by "Ubuntu", they can say that they care about the "derivated" K/X/L, but they don't. They care if Ubuntu gets better.20:37
marcosRzSee how many inovations Canonical has pushed with gnome than with kde.20:37
marcosRzI understand that Kubuntu is cool, but it doesnt get any attention/work from canonical like Ubuntu20:39
neversfeldeRiddell: bug 510244 says, that choqok is synced, but it is not in lucid?20:39
ubottuLaunchpad bug 510244 in choqok "Please sync choqok 0.9.4+git20091230-1. (main) from Debian unstable" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/51024420:39
ScottKmarcosRz: Actually the main Canonical user experience development for this cycle (dbus menu) is done for Kubuntu first.20:41
ScottKSo what you are saying is significantly less true than it used to be.20:41
marcosRzso thats why I'm willing to help Kpackagekit better20:41
macomarcosRz: have you considered that we might not accept their changes until after upstream kde says "ok" to them, which adds a layer of slowyness to it?20:41
ScottKThat is another point.20:41
ScottKThere are things we don't have that Ubuntu does because upstream KDE said no and we follow KDE with very few exceptions.20:42
marcosRzI think that the point of a distribution20:43
marcosRzGet a vanilla pkg (kde) and integrate it.20:43
ScottKThat's what we try to do.20:43
marcosRzIt like Ubuntu GNOME is way different than vanilla gnome and other gnomes, for example Fedora.20:43
ScottKYep20:43
marcosRzIf I wanted a vanilla distro, I would keep using Arch/Gentoo.20:44
marcosRzI wanted integrated stuff20:44
marcosRzIts like firefox20:44
JontheEchidnaWe usually push our integrations upstream wherever possible, so that everyone can have the benefits20:44
marcosRzLook at opensuse firefox, and look at kubuntu firefox20:44
ScottKWe're working on integrating the patches in this cycle20:44
marcosRzopenSuse integration on firefox is way better than Kubuntu20:44
Riddellneversfelde: I'll sync it now20:45
nixternalwe didn't integrate the patches last cycle because per openSUSE they were a) unstable and b) incomplete20:45
marcosRzwhen You use KDE in openSuse you don't know if it's kde or gnome because apps are so integrated20:45
JontheEchidna^plus came a month before final release of 9.1020:45
marcosRzcool nixternal20:45
nixternalthough now, the patches seem more stable, but according to openSUSE still incomplete, which i think we can live with this cycle20:46
Riddellneversfelde: should be it done this time, not sure what went wrong20:46
nixternalspeaking of package managers though, is it planned for a kubuntu software center or whatever it is called?20:47
neversfeldeRiddell: ok20:47
nixternalI don't use any of the graphical package managers nor follow their development20:47
nixternalfirst time I fired up kpackagekit in a long time...what are the major complaints with it these days?20:48
nixternalonly annoyance I see is "all packages" doesn't list anything in the Software Management tab, but seems to work when you select something else in the drop down20:49
ScottKThe only thing I use it for is the update notification and it's "unpleasant"20:49
nixternalwhat would make it pleasant?20:49
nixternalis it being addressed?20:49
ScottKI talked to dantti about it earlier today.  I think so.20:50
ScottKPersonally, I like the little icon in the tray.20:50
marcosRznixternal: the problem with kpackagekit is that its unusable20:51
ScottKI find the huge pop-up really annoying20:51
marcosRzof course you can install pkg there, but only that20:51
nixternalmarcosRz: how is it unusable, please provide some details20:51
marcosRzexample20:51
ScottKmarcosRz: Over generalizations aren't helpful20:51
marcosRzit's like a media player that just play music20:51
marcosRzKpackagkit, just install packages20:51
nixternalwhat should it do? take you dancing?20:51
marcosRzit filtes sucks, it doesnt havy any repository views, any depedency view20:51
marcosRznah20:51
marcosRzFor example20:52
marcosRzWhen you clickon  a package, for example "phpmyadmin" , it won't select the dependency right away20:52
marcosRzso20:52
* claydoh_ uses kpackagekit almost exclusively20:52
=== claydoh_ is now known as claydoh
marcosRzI'll checkout the code, and add this view20:53
claydohbut it still adds the deps, and tells you what itnis going to do20:53
JontheEchidnaI hear that the dependency calculation has been condensed to one dialog in KPK 0.520:54
marcosRzfor example claydoh ,, right know it doesnt have any support for debconf20:54
nixternalit is adding the deps for me, I noticed that "File List", "Depends on", and "Required by" don't seem to work though20:54
marcosRzfor example if you install mysql, it wont ask for root password like on synaptic, or even apt-get on cli20:55
JontheEchidnaFile list works for installed packages here20:55
marcosRzfor the root password of the mysql server20:55
marcosRzno support for debconf20:55
claydohmarcosRz: I haven't come across that one yet, though I haven't installed java  in a while :)\20:55
JontheEchidnadantti was working on debconf for PackageKit, iirc20:55
marcosRzclaydoh: yeah, java is a example. You don't need to accept the eula, they accept on -quiet for you lol20:56
nixternalJontheEchidna: ahh, you are right20:56
* neversfelde wonders who installs a mysql server with a graphical tool20:56
marcosRzneversfelde: bunch of tutorials on howtoforge XD20:56
marcosRzthey all rely on debconf20:56
claydohi think that many end-users may miss the simpler basic package manager we used to have20:56
marcosRzmost of them20:56
nixternalyeah, howtoforge is silly in some cases20:56
claydohthe name escapes me20:57
JontheEchidnaadept?20:57
claydohthe simpler version of it20:57
JontheEchidnaAdept Installer20:57
claydohthats it :)20:57
nixternalalso, with karmic we were using an older kpackagekit, and iirc, a lot of the issues have been addressed in a newer version of kpackagekit that depends on the new packagekit20:59
nixternalwhich would be nice if it were all done before string and gui freezes, *hint hint*20:59
Riddellit's on my todo for tomorrow21:00
nixternalnever put off for tomorrow for which you can do today :p21:00
nixternalhttp://www.packagekit.org/pk-screenshots.html#kde <- are these new or old screenshots of kpackagekit?21:01
claydohsome look older21:02
claydohyeah, i think it is older, looks plainer than my karmic version21:03

crimsunRiddell: having both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed does /bad/ things22:44
crimsunJontheEchidna: 17:44 < crimsun> Riddell: having both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed does /bad/ things22:44
nixternalcrimsun: that's why we need kubuntu-desktop to Conflict|Replace ubuntu-desktop :p22:45
crimsunJontheEchidna: / Riddell: if Kubuntu switches to use PA-enabled Qt, then this issue will go away, but as it stands, installing (k)ubuntu-desktop on top of the other inevitably results in broken sound for some user22:46
Riddellwe really don't want them to conflict22:47
Riddelland I don't know what you mean by PA enabled Qt, we have Phonon and it should work with pulseaudio22:47
crimsunRiddell: Phonon is certainly not configured by default to prefer PA22:47
crimsunI think we can drop them to recommends, but this is going to be nasty either way.22:48
crimsunso really, yes, we do want them to conflict.22:48
crimsununless you want to have fun setting global environment variables for libsdl1.2?22:49
crimsunI think what should happen here is that people who want both installed should know during the second's installation process that stuff could explode, but they should be allowed to reinstall libsdl1.2debian-foo22:56
crimsunso, something like this:22:56
crimsunactually, I think I'll just revert the addition to kubuntu-common, and everything will be happy23:00
crimsunwell, everything for Kubuntu23:00
crimsunkubuntu-desktop users who install ubuntu-desktop will forcibly get PA, and they'll just live with it (which is Karmic behavior)23:01
crimsunubuntu-desktop users who install kubuntu-desktop won't see any change (which is Karmic behavior)23:01
Riddellcrimsun: why do we even need libsdl?23:02
