NCommanderRiddell: nixternal, *grumble* bindings doesn't want to build00:20
Lex79JontheEchidna: sync only with Testing or with Unstable too ?00:54
JontheEchidnaLex79: They accept Unstable merges upon request00:55
Lex79JontheEchidna: so I can request a sync with Unstable?00:56
JontheEchidnayeah00:56
Lex79ok, you says "merges" before :)00:56
Lex79I see00:56
NCommanderRiddell: got it to build, but dh_sip failed to do what it was supposed to01:15
NCommander*groan*01:15
Riddellhuh?01:15
Riddellit's a short perl script though, shouldn't be too hard to see what's going wrong01:15
Riddelloh but you used a pbuilder so no build tree to test on01:16
Riddellfoo01:16
Riddellwell at least virtuoso seems to be working01:17
NCommanderRiddell: I can't easily build on my system :-/01:18
RiddellNCommander: I'll start it going here01:18
NCommanderRiddell: well, we're getting there :-)01:18

NCommanderRiddell: ****.01:19
NCommanderRiddell: I forgot; being active in Kubuntu means I have a higher risk of breaking peoples desktops01:20
Riddellyeah, it's not like arm, people actually use our software :)01:20
Lex79NCommander: it's more fun working on Kubuntu for that :P01:21

Riddellkwwii: jorge wants you in the plenary01:32
neversfeldeRiddell: I uploaded koffice 2.1.1 for karmic to staging, it is a simple update of the package in backports ppa. I am not sure, if I can move it to backports, because I cannot test, no Karmic here anymore. What do you think?01:34
nixternalneversfelde: I can test01:35
neversfeldeonly lpia finished btw, but I guess that i386 and amd64 will have no problems then01:35
neversfeldenixternal: great, rest should be ready in a few minutes01:36
nixternalwhere is it located right now?01:36
neversfeldenixternal: staging ppa01:42
nixternalroger that01:42
nixternalinstalling now01:43
nixternalneversfelde: what did you do with kformula? between 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 there were a lot of list-missing files...a lot need to be installed, and quite a few need to be placed in a not-installed filed01:44
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
nixternalheh, i guess nobody has applied for that microsoft open source job, as i just got an email from one of my friends at microsoft letting me know they would be interested in talking :) haha, he cracks me up, he says I can still continue using Linux, just might not be able to contribute anything anytime soon01:46
ScottKNice.01:47
jjesseyou should join01:47
neversfeldenixternal: hum, I just had a look at the debian package, guess it needs more work01:47
nixternalneversfelde: it at least installed fine :)01:47
nixternaleverything seems to work01:48
Lex79Debian doesn't ship kformula anymore01:48
nixternalwe don't either...not until a few more releases, however the kformula plugin is kind of ready to be used and tested according to upstream01:49
neversfeldemhh, when did Debian changed the not-installed file, alle the kformula stuff was in there before01:52
neversfeldenixternal: it is too late now to correct this, will do it tomorrow, thanks for reviewing01:56
nixternalneversfelde: no problemo, I will get the update when you fix it up :)01:58
neversfeldebtw as far as I understood, there is no MOTU team anymore, can someone explain the new situation to me?01:59
ScottKneversfelde: MOTU will continue01:59
* ScottK has to write a mail about it02:00
nixternalMOTU should be around, MC on the other hand02:00
neversfeldeScottK: ok, that's good. I was rellay confused about it. Probably I did not understodd the situation because of languag deficits.02:02
ScottKneversfelde: It's confusing.  Hopefully we'll have it resolved soon.02:19
neversfeldecool02:19
neversfeldeand it is really confusing02:19
neversfeldenot only for me02:19
NCommanderRiddell: I don't get it; it built locally02:51
NCommanderarghhhhhhh02:51
* NCommander feels his brain melt02:51
NCommanderRiddell: I have a flight to catch, but maybe you can help work out why bindings is busted02:51

yuriyis the amd64 CD oversized?04:37
yuriycdimages lists it as 717MB04:37
yuriyfor the daily live04:37
ScottKThat would be oversized.04:37
yuriyuhoh. probably should cancel the download then. anyone working on this or know why it's 13MB bigger than i386?04:38
yuriyand all the alpha 2 images are even worse04:39
yuriyi guess these didn't get tested04:39
ScottKThey did, but not as physical CDs04:40
yuriyah, good point04:40
ScottKYou can use usb-creator-kde to put them on a stick04:40
yuriyis it possible to burn a CD image to a DVD? I don't have a stick04:40
ScottKI think so04:40
yuriythough i guess i could borrow one or use an SD card04:41
ScottKSD cards work too04:41
ScottKI've used those04:41
yuriyalpha 3 in 3 weeks... i'll try to keep an eye on this and at least point it out in the ISO tracker if they're still oversize04:42
ScottKRiddell has been working it down over time.  I think we need to get 4.4.0 done first and then decide how to handle it.04:44
yuriygot a new core i7 setup, but my current installation hangs a few seconds into booting and I don't have any recent CDs, but hopefully the lucid daily will work04:49
verbalshadowoy, are there any know missing theme issues with kdm?05:12
verbalshadowif not seem the default theme is missing ( or moved) in the latest round of packages05:13
ScottKIt's been reported before.  Not sure if it's fixed05:15
verbalshadowScottK: thanks, doesn't seem to be yet i reinstalled and reconfigure from cli with no luck05:17
dhillon-v10ScottK: a real quick question: if there are changes to the .po files we don't include that in the diff  that I am about to attach right?05:18
ScottKAlmost certainly not05:19
dhillon-v10ScottK: thanks :)05:21
Riddellyuriy: yes you can burn them to DVDs fine05:28
Riddellkdebindings compiles fine, uploading to ppa and main archive05:35
ScottKExcellent.05:36
ScottKThat means pitti can fix jockey05:36
dhillon-v10Riddell: can i help with something, my packaging have certainly improved thanks to people here :)05:38
Riddelldhillon-v10: could you add the patch on this page to kdebase-runtime? http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Nepomuk+Virtuoso+Converter?content=11966105:40
yuriyso at least Nero won't let me burn the CD image to a DVD05:41
yuriyprobably an artificial limitation05:41
dhillon-v10Riddell: sure :) thanks for giving me a chance05:41
yuriyi guess i'll try k3b tomorrow05:42
Riddelldhillon-v10: you know how to get our packaging out of bzr?05:42
Riddellyuriy: bah.  you can also use a virtual machine05:42
dhillon-v10Riddell: please reword that, do you mean make a package out of something present in a branch? then yes05:52
dhillon-v10Riddell: or are you talking about kdebase-runtime? so that I can apply the patch05:54
Riddelldhillon-v10: yes the packaging for that is in bzr05:54
Riddellbzr co lp:~kubuntu-members/kdebase-runtime/ubuntu05:55
Riddellgrab that patch and put it into debian/patches, add to series file, dch -i05:55
Riddellbzr diff05:55
Riddellsend us that diff or push the bzr branch05:55
dhillon-v10Riddell: alright, I actually know these steps had to do them before for a merge :)05:55
dhillon-v10Riddell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/370001/06:09
dhillon-v10Riddell: there's another file called KUBUNTU-DEIBAN DIFFERENCES, should I worry about that file or no?06:10
Riddelldhillon-v10: the patch file doesn't follow the naming convention06:10
dhillon-v10*DEBIAN06:10
Riddelland since 4:4.4.0-0ubuntu1 hasn't been released you don't need a new changelog entry, just add it to that one06:10
Riddellyou can update KUBUNTU-DEBIAN-DIFFERENCES but it's not too important so long as its in the changelog06:10
dhillon-v10Riddell: alright, so what was that about the naming, I just downloaded the file and added it06:11
Riddellthe other files are all named kubuntu_xx_description.diff06:12
Riddellyou should follow that06:12
dhillon-v10Riddell: alright06:12
Riddelldhillon-v10: also please make kdebase-runtime Recommend: virtuosoconverter06:15
Riddellwhich I've just packaged06:15
Riddelldhillon-v10: are you updating your patch?06:28
dhillon-v10Riddell: how about this http://paste.ubuntu.com/370008/06:29
dhillon-v10Riddell: yeah sorry had to go to eat dinner, its pretty late06:29
Riddellumm, I have to login to download that as a text file?06:30
Riddellpaste.ubuntu has gone mad06:30
dhillon-v10Riddell: just a sec.06:30
Riddelldhillon-v10: could you use another pastebin, that one won't let me wget06:30
dhillon-v10Riddell: see if this one's better: http://pastebin.com/d129673ab06:32
dhillon-v10Riddell: check this out if you have time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCpjgl2baLs06:37
Riddellmaco: I think the guy on the mailing list is asking for full source code branches, not just packaging branches06:37
Riddelldhillon-v10: what is it?  I probably don't have the bandwidth for video here06:38
macoRiddell: oh wait thats not the full source?06:38
macobah06:38
macoi tried lp:ubuntu/lucid/kdebase but it didnt work06:38
dhillon-v10Riddell: its talking about the end of the world being caused by our own mistakes :)06:38
macoi thought that was where the full source branches were supposed to be06:38
Riddellthey're not all complete06:39
macooh boo06:39
dhillon-v10Riddell: would you like me to email you the patch if you have some bandwidth problems and pastebin is not working?06:40
macoi thought all the packages were supposed to be imported, except in the case that they tried to import and it failed. *pout*06:41
Riddelldhillon-v10: yes that would be good, pastebin's also have this annoying habit of adding windows line endings06:41
macoRiddell: is james still around/awake?06:41
Riddelldhillon-v10: jriddell@ubuntu.com06:41
Riddellmaco: I've not seen him this evening06:41
dhillon-v10Riddell: done :)06:42
Riddelldhillon-v10: groovy, uploaded to bzr and PPA06:48
Riddellto be backported to karmic: new virtuoso, virtuoso-converter, kdebindings, kdebase-runtime06:48
RiddellI'm afraid I'm done for the night so volunteers welcome06:48
dhillon-v10Riddell: alright so what's next for me, if anything06:49
dhillon-v10Riddell: I guess I'll work tomorrow then, bye and good night :)06:50
Riddellmaco: that kdebase branch failed to import, other kde branches work07:43
freeflyingRiddell: are we going to backport qt-4.6.1 to karmic?07:44
Riddellfreeflying: mm, meybe, there's a load of things that should be put into the karmic PPA07:45
Riddellsee above07:45

falehi08:29
falehttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/kdepim/lucid/annotate/head:/debian/patches/kubuntu_01_abort2cancel.diff <-- why this diff? does it _really_ make sense?08:29
Tm_Tfale: s/Abort/Close/g for editor makes sense08:31
faleTm_T: with editors you mean people or programs?08:31
Tm_Tfale: "Close the external editor or leave it open?"08:32
faleoh, I see ;)08:32
falehttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/kdepim/lucid/annotate/head:/debian/patches/kubuntu_30_debianize_akregator_default.diff <-- whouldn't be more correct to implement this at an akregator.rc level?08:32
Tm_Toverall, now that I look that patch more closely, to me it seems reasonable08:32
Tm_Tfale: err, would make sense, yes, if there's no limitations (and there shouldn't be?)08:34
falewhat do you mean?08:34
Tm_Tfale: except, isn't rc generated based on that cpp? (:08:35
faleTm_T: well ok... at this point could be reasonable to implement that into kubuntu-settings or somewhere like that08:37
Tm_Tfale: true that08:37
faleI mean.... is not the best, I think, to patch the code to implement a setting08:37
Tm_Tfale: that's how I do for me though08:38
faleI, personally, do think that patches should be patches not indeterminate-time-code-appends08:39
faleIf a code is a feature, it should be proposed upstream, and if is a setting, it should be putted into a -setting package08:40
faleTm_T: like this one: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/kdebase/ubuntu/annotate/head:/debian/patches/kubuntu_14_dolphin_preview_on.diff I think it should be implemented into kubuntu-settings, instead of there (or trying to push it upstream)08:43
Tm_Tfale: hmm, you should collect all these and send to the mailinglist (:08:45
jussio1o/08:45
Tm_Tjussio1: hi son08:45
faleTm_T: yep, I'm going to... I was thinking to put Kde-devel in CC08:45
jussio1Ive an issue, when I start kdm in lucid it cant open the theme file. which is the config file to change this?08:45
Tm_Tjussio1: /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc ?08:46
jussio1Tm_T: ahh, Ill take a look there, thanks (was looking in .kde :D )08:50
Tm_Tjussio1: kdm is systemwide (;08:51
RiddellTm_T: can you pastebin me whatever started fale and thiago's coversation in #kde-devel?09:02
faleRiddell: http://pastebin.ca/178788409:03
jussio1mrgh09:03
jussio1I got kdm working, but x boots to a black screen with a white mouse. ideas? (on lucid)09:04
faleRiddell: I was also saying to Tm_T, here, that imho some patches could be moved to kubuntu-settings, wouldn't be better to have settings into kubuntu-settings instead of patching the code?09:04
Riddellfale: thanks09:04
faleRiddell: yw09:04
Riddellfale: yes in general it's best to change settings than do patches, I'm doing that now with plasma settings for example09:04
faleRiddell: cool ;) I have identified some patches that could be ported into kubuntu-settings09:05
faleRiddell: do you think would be a good idea to add a column to that table with patches that could go into kubuntu-settings?09:06
Riddellfale: yes09:06
faleRiddell: I'm going to do that, then. thank you :)09:06
Riddellfale: but e.g. that dolphin one, the setting ends up as a long string of serialised data09:06
faleRiddell: do you think that that one is better to keep in the code?09:07
Riddellso it's not practical to changeit in settings files. it's not (or wasn't when added) someting that could be overridden without risking affecting other items09:07
faleI see... it was written for 4.4?09:08
Riddellno 4.0 or .1 soworth checking again09:08
RiddellI have to sleep and won't be online much but e-mail me if you have queries09:09
falei'm going to, first, edit the wiki page, and after checking again each ''config'' patch to see if is still reasonable to not put them in kubuntu-settings09:10
Tm_TRiddell: I can sing a lullaby to you too, will try get R. (daughter) to sleep soon09:10
Riddellalso check the latest packaging, some patches have been removed and added since that wiki page was done09:10
* Riddell snoozes09:10

tomplastScottK: Hi Scott. I have now put some time into comparing modem-modeswitch (integrated in udev) and usb-modeswitch. From the little information I have been able to gather (from source code, some manual pages and some mailing lists), it seems that usb-modeswitch supports more devices than udev's modem-modeswitch. To be honest I don't know how true this is but judging from the list of supported devices (for usb-modeswitch) and ho20:46
tomplastw easy it's to add a configuration for a new device it feels very nice. The latest versions of usb-modeswitch comes also with an udev-rule so that the switching should be done automagically (depends on tclsh, 4KiB, exist in main). I wish I could give you some more information, but that's all I got for now. Maybe I should talk to the udev developer(s) responsible for modem-modeswitch and see what we would miss by switching from20:46
tomplastmodem-modeswitch to usb-modeswitch. Or do you have any other suggestion? How should I proceed?20:46
nixternaldhillon-v10: use kate, highlight everything, and then press 'shift+tab' a few times to clear up the tabs21:02
dhillon-v10nixternal: yeah that sharing doc was ported from ubuntu-docs so it had a *lot* of useless indentation, the ones I wrote only had extra spacing :) but thanks for the tip21:08
dhillon-v10nixternal: how about now, the merge-proposal has been updated, and I fixed all my errors21:15
nixternaldhillon-v10: I will look at it later, have to get ready for a birthday party21:18
