apacheloggerJontheEchidna: new plan: kde-l10n-common + special script = replace certain templates in the common branch, merge it with the target source, get package08:29
apacheloggerthat also makes deploying changes easier since there is only one central place where stuff gets changed08:29
jetdronei've created a usb stick for alpha3 with usbcreator from kubuntu 9.10 but the installer crashes on start everytime on a dell latitude d620 laptop08:54
dpmhey apachelogger, JontheEchidna, good morning. Now that you are mentioning kde-l10n-*, I've been tracking bug 529483, and something seems to create invalid POT templates when building the packages. Any ideas what it could be and if it could affect more packages than the 3 ones mentioned in the bug?09:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 529483 in amarok "Wrong POT template creation in some KDE packages" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/52948309:00
apacheloggerdpm: pots are generated by kde-pkg-tools, so it most likely is a bug in our infrastructure09:05
apacheloggerI am just not sure where, because I do not think it is the scripts themselfs, I only recently synced them with what upstream uses for pot creation :S09:05
dpmok, thanks apachelogger, I think at least I'll open a task on kde-pkg-tools to track this in the meantime09:06
apacheloggerdpm: ok, I'll look at it ASAP09:06

Riddelljetdrone: hi11:05
Riddelljetdrone: logs are in /var/log/messages and /var/log/installer/11:05
Riddelljetdrone: check http://tinyurl.com/yjybcx9 it has a few known bugs for ubiquity11:06
Riddellyou run ubiquity on the command line by the way but the output still goes to the logs11:06
jetdronethanks, will look into it11:06
Riddelljetdrone: crashes at startup or on the first page change?11:07
shadeslayer_Riddell: first page change as in?11:07
shadeslayer_Riddell: i could go till partitioning11:07
Riddellwhen you click Next to go from the alpha warning to the language page11:08
Riddellit's intermittent, doesn't happen every time11:08
jetdroneon the first page change11:08
shadeslayer_Riddell: yeah i could do that....crashes on manual partition though11:08
Riddellit looks hard to debug, it's a segfault not a python crash so it's something11:08
jetdroneeverytime i run it i get the same crash11:08
Riddellsomething in pyqt or qt11:08
RiddellI think it's due to the new integrated progress bar that shtylman_ added11:09
Riddellso i guess the first thing to do would be see what happens if you rip out that code and go back to the progressDialog11:09

jetdronefrom the messages if only logs that it is about to switch page and then page switched, from the installer log i only see  trying to create local folders that fail and locks failed to be acquired11:14

jetdroneok I get the same logs as bug source ubiquity #52653411:22
Riddelljetdrone: I think the tactic would be to remove the new progress bar code and see if that fixes it11:44
Riddellthen we can either just drop that or dig further in to find the bit that causes the problem11:44

Tm_Tjussi01: or just installing grub2, I think it should conflict with lilo & others12:05
jussi01Tm_T: right. grub2 wouldnt install on initial install, so I had to use lilo, all good, but lilo sucks and i want my grub back. :)12:05

freeflyingRiddell: kimpanel-ibus can't work out of box under lucid, but fine under karmic :)14:51
shadeslayerneversfelde: so how do i force a download?14:52
Riddellfreeflying: sigh, there's no difference.  is it a different version of ibus?14:52
freeflyingRiddell: yes, ibus got upgraded14:53
freeflyingRiddell: all configuration are fine, you need re-run ibus-daemon manually14:53
Riddellfreeflying: fooey.  so we need to find out if there is a maintainer for kimpanel-ibus and see if he has plans to update to the new version14:54
Riddellfreeflying: I'm not very impressed with the upgrade compatibility from ibus14:54
Riddellthat's the trouble with dbus interfaces over library interfaces, nobody cares about versioning14:54
freeflyingheh14:54
freeflyingsuppose I won't have time for it recently14:55
shadeslayerRiddell: i see that the ppa has the kdebindings but apt doesnt want to download them and refuses to even acknowledge them in the sources14:58
Riddell"kdebindings" isn't a binary package15:00
shadeslayerthen?15:01
shadeslayermeta package?15:01
neversfeldeshadeslayer: force a download?15:01
shadeslayerneversfelde: i mean how do i install kdebindings 4.4?15:01
neversfeldeshadeslayer: add the repo and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade15:02
shadeslayerneversfelde: doesnt show meta package kdebindings15:02
shadeslayernor does it show upgrades15:02
neversfeldeshadeslayer: see above, it isn't a binary package15:03
shadeslayerneversfelde: ok,i get it,but since its a meta package,sudo apt-get install kdebindings should install it right?15:03
shadeslayerinstall all the stuff it pulls in i mean15:04
neversfeldeit is a meta package?15:04
shadeslayerif it isnt a binary package,itll be a meta package right?15:04

Tm_TRiddell: menubar for keyboard access (I keep it hidden when I don't need it) and statusbar tells information what tooltips cannot, like to where some links points to and so on15:38

Tm_TRiddell: I'm still against having Arora as default browser, one big reason is that it doesn't follow KDE language settings at all15:53

ScottKPersonally, I don't see a lot of benifit in switching browsers.  No matter what we switch to that's not Firefox, people will use Firefox because more web sites work with it.  People used to develop web sites for IE, now they mostly develop for IE and Firefox.16:00

davmor2Riddell: don't forget the magic online checker16:04
Riddellwebkit browser share is probably about the same as mac desktop share16:04
Riddellbut there's enough safari and chrome users out there that web designers care about it16:05
ScottKLooks like ~10% these days so likely so.16:07
ScottKAlthough there were lots of designers that didn't care about FF when it was at 10%.16:07

dpmapachelogger, on a meeting, so I might not be too responsive, but If I can help, just shoot :)21:10
apacheloggerdpm: can you somehow query for all templates that are affected by the broken-pot bug?21:11
apacheloggerdpm: I have a fix ready to be uploaded... but we need to rebuild all affected packages with new pkg-kde-tools AND run tight QA on new pot uploads21:11
apacheloggerthe fix includes all new versions of some KDE l10n scripts that were last synced in jaunty, so there might be issues21:12
apacheloggeron a positive side: I now made it easier to sync the scripts in pkg-kde-tools, which should help prevent such things form happening again21:13
dpmapachelogger, hmm, I'm not sure how to query on that. I've got a list of all template names from LP, but that's all. What I can do is to ask the Rosetta devs if they could run a query to check the content of templates, but I'm not sure how to do it before having spoken to them. Is there a particular string that could help us identify the broken templates? I could also do a visual inspection: in Catalan I know all KDE templates are translated, so if we21:15
dpmrecently have gotten some untranslated due to the bug, I could perhaps identify them21:15
dpmi.e. I mean something that is common to all broken templates?21:16
