Riddellhmm, no yuiry or jontheechidna around, they're the ones who complained on that bug00:04
Riddellslangasek: I just confirmed the fix with the packages in scott's PPA00:04
Riddellbut would be nice to have someone else confirm00:04
Riddelle-mailed them00:06
RiddellJontheEchidna: yo01:00
=== jonathan_ is now known as jjesse
RiddellJontheEchidna: well if you can test plymouth from scott's archive and let slangasek know that would be great01:13
nixternalanyone have a good pykde4 kpart example, and not the one in kdebindings01:14
RiddellI don't know of any01:15
slangasekJontheEchidna: if you test it and are still having problems, I'd like to dig into those more, as well; we don't think the bug we're currently working on should affect intel01:15
verbalshadowRiddell: i'm testing scott's plymouth shortly01:15

Riddellyuriy!01:21
Riddellverbalshadow: are you currently getting the freeze on plymouth problem?01:21
RiddellI need to sleep, yuriy if you can test plymouth from ppa:scott that would be great too01:22
* Riddell snoozes01:22
verbalshadowRiddell: scott's plymouth fixed it here01:25
yuriyRiddell: will do. btw sys rq+alt+k works to kill it (for that system with 0 grub timeout)01:47
yuriyhmm not a problem on my intel machine either02:01
JontheEchidnaRiddell: k, will do02:02
* JontheEchidna mumbles at the genious who thought it would be a good idea to have Windows 7 by default go into sleep mode even when it's plugged in02:03
jonathan_its all about power savings02:04
=== jonathan_ is now known as jjesse
jjesseeven when you are connected to power02:04
jjesseits about being green02:04
JontheEchidnaIRC is not for the green :P02:05
yuriyJontheEchidna: Dell?02:06
yuriythey give you an option when you buy it to set up crazy power saving settings02:07
jjessethink i read its a default saving for power02:07
ScottKyuriy: If you want to save power, never turn it on.02:07
JontheEchidnayuriy: Asus02:08
JontheEchidnahttp://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus-k60ij-rblx05/4505-3121_7-33776104.html <- that one, to be exact02:09
JontheEchidnafunnily enough, running it anually would only cost $5 in power :P02:10
JontheEchidnaAnyways, back to Kubuntu02:11
ScottKI never turn computers off without a needful reason (like I'm on battery and it's about out).02:11
ScottKApplying power to a piece of electronics is about the most stressful thing you can do to it.02:12

shadeslayerHave the iso's finished testing?08:10
persiashadeslayer: Just starting.  The crew in #ubuntu-testing is starting to push through a bunch of the candidate images.08:20
hungerWhat exactly is ureadahead supposed to do? So far I have not had a single boot where it did not spit lots of messages about it crashing onto the screen:-( Everything seems to work fine, even in spite of that.08:34
persiaIt attempts to read all the files you need from boot from the disk in the fastest way to read them from the disk so that it takes less time to boot.08:35
* hunger grumbles that ubuntu-minimal depends on it, so it can not get removed without some fuss.08:35
hungerpersia: Oh, thanks.08:35
hungerSo I can ignore it crashing... maybe I should just turn on the graphical boot screen, then I will probably not notice it crashing anymore:-(08:36
persiaman ureadahead to find out how to profile it.08:36
persiaHow did you "turn off" the graphical boot screen?08:36
hungerpersia: Just remove "splash" from the kernel options in grub.cfg:-)08:38
hungerpersia: Really straight forward to do for me since update-grub does not work anyway;-)08:38

RiddellMamarok: I wonder if it's to do with people not upgrading to the KDE 4.4 in that archive10:51

shadeslayerRiddell: ubiquity has no bugs in the latest iso build right?12:23
shadeslayerin the manual partitioning setup...12:24
shadeslayerok im going to take the dive :)12:27
shadeslayerhopefully its fixed since the kubuntu devel ml doesnt cite anything12:27
shadeslayerhey im testing the lucid build12:34
shadeslayeramd64.... anything that needs testing apart from the one mentioned in the testing page12:35
Riddellshadeslayer: different languages, different disk partition methods, OEM setup12:36
shadeslayerRiddell: ok i can do the manual partition thing...12:36
shadeslayercant do the OEM setup though...12:36
shadeslayeroh found a bug in quassel!12:36
Riddelloh and checking if KDM starts (certainly should do now)12:36
Riddellshadeslayer: why can't you do OEM setup?12:36
shadeslayerRiddell: it does!12:36
shadeslayerRiddell: i have only one machine...dont want to do a OEM setup.. :P12:37
Riddellit doesn't harm the machine12:37
shadeslayerRiddell: can i customize the partitions via OEM?12:38
shadeslayerRiddell: http://imagebin.ca/view/uWvtYhG3.html12:38
Riddellshadeslayer: yes the installer is exactly the same except it'll set up a user called OEM instead of your normal one12:39
Riddellthen you reboot, run oem config12:39
Riddellthen reboot again and you set up your normal user12:39
Riddellso you end up with exactly the same setup, just a couple of extra steps12:40
shadeslayerRiddell: arent the graphics supposed to be enabled with the opensource nvidia drivers?12:40
shadeslayerRiddell: ah ok then,i can test that :)12:40
Riddellshadeslayer: what graphics?12:40
shadeslayerRiddell: like desktop effects12:40
shadeslayerKDE desktop effects12:40
Riddellshadeslayer: I don't know, mgraesslin might know that better than I12:41
shadeslayerRiddell: i think i read somewhere that the opensource drivers were enabled by default12:41
shadeslayermgraesslin: ping12:41
shadeslayerRiddell: oh and confirmed this : http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/result/3795/5112:41
shadeslayerRiddell: kdm still lacks smooth transitions without proper patches12:42
Riddellyou confirmed a report that doesn't say what the problem is? :)12:42
shadeslayerlol.well the comment is correct12:42
shadeslayerAfter selection "Try Kubuntu without install" the system show some error message, but after that, the system normally start.12:42
shadeslayerI think it's only a warning message that it must be hidden.12:42
shadeslayerRiddell: its basically the smooth transition issue...12:43
Riddellno smooth transition is bug 540177, we'll get that for beta 2, the important thing is that plymouth doesn't freeze now12:43

freinhar1installed the kubuntu netbook remix on a asus 1005pe (brand new). works pretty well besides FN-keys and wireless.14:08
Riddellfreinhar1: from today's image?14:10
freinhar1one thing that bugs me: the "current application" widget in the panel is pretty annoying. open firefox with a pretty long <title>, then klick on knetworkmanager and you'll see that the systemtray including the icon you clicked on just moved a lot! that's no good usability. i can't imagine any non-techie to realize what's going on there.14:11
freinhar1no some days ago14:11
Riddellfreinhar1: yeah, and sometimes the X to close the window doesn't show, upstream is aware of that14:11
freinhar1Riddell: it's not the X14:11
freinhar1Riddell: it's the changing size of the widget14:12
freinhar1Riddell: if the size changes the systemtray moves14:12
freinhar1and if your systemtray moves while you click on it, things get wierd!14:13

Riddellshtylman_: I didn't see any kubuntu merge in the slideshow changelog14:52
Riddellshtylman_: this keyboard error also happens on german so it's a general !english error which is quite nasty.  it doesn't happen using ubiquity gtk so it'll be something in your (otherwise very lovely) keyboard page14:53
shtylman_Riddell: noted... maybe something changed about how the language maps are created or stored... so I need to look at that14:55
shtylman_I will most certainly look at it tonight after work... assuming ev or cjwatson don't beat me to it14:56

QuintasanRiddell: yup, I'm not entirley sure how I should make a separate package out of KoReport since it is not being compiled in the whole process15:36
RiddellQuintasan: KOffice beta won't go into lucid for sure, but would be nice to have packages in a PPA15:36
RiddellQuintasan: what do you mean not being compiled in  the whole process?15:37
shadeslayerweird... after installing nvidia drivers plymouth only opens in text mode15:38
QuintasanRiddell: at first KOffice was bulding like this: CMake complains that KoReport will not be built since KChart is not available15:38
QuintasanRiddell: and how the hell it is supposed to be available when it is in middle of building?15:38
RiddellQuintasan: this is with the new tar?15:39

Quintasanhow can I copy the files I modified in pbuilder to outer world so they won't get deleted?15:54
nixternalyeah...it got me when i built 2.1.1 as well...and for some reason, i thought list-missing would read the not-installed file and not complain about some files15:54
RiddellQuintasan: this happens every beta, especially with koffice (because it's so big), I'm afraid it's just a long job of updating all the .install files15:54
QuintasanRiddell: Okay, it's not like I can't manage inserting # in front of line in question :)15:55
nixternalso there will be some files listed in --list-missing, but double check them with debian/not-installed just to be sure15:55
* Quintasan notes this down15:56
QuintasanI'd better do that each time or fix the hook15:56
Riddellthat would mean hacking debhelper which isn't trivial15:56
Riddelland there's nothing standard about those not-installed files, it's only the Debian KDE team who use them as far as I know15:57
nixternali like to build out of a pbuilder and do it that way..i use pbuilder once i have molded the package in to an uploadable entity15:57
nixternalwhy do people think we are in a string freeze?15:59
nixternalshit, we are in ui freeze though...and changing the slide would actually be changing the ui16:00
shtylman_nixternal: indeed16:00
Riddellnixternal: if only we had a docs person around to approve the UI freeze exception16:00
nixternalin this case, we don't have any screenshots of the install process, so it is fine16:00
nixternalapproved16:01
nixternal:)16:01
nixternalRiddell: for stuff like this though, i am fairly certain it is fine to approve...stuff like changing a default app is the one that needs to looked over and done in a timely matter16:01

nixternalor ScottK :)16:29
nixternalor nhandler :)16:29
Riddellnixternal: it'll need to wait until after beta 116:29
ScottKnixternal: Does it need any netbook specific content?  I could help with that later in the week.16:30
ScottKI'm done for today on testing, just picked up the youngest from school with a fever.16:30
nixternalScottK: i need to do the netbook content, though i am not sure how much it is needed16:36
nixternali think it is fairly generic enough16:36
Riddelldpm: ubiquity-kde.desktop doesn't get translated, there's no ubiquity.mo file in any language pack (which is what the gettext key points to)16:37
* Riddell crys at the size of kubuntu milestoned bugs http://tinyurl.com/yjybcx916:40
Riddellstill 19 is better than the foundations team with their 120 high priority ones :)16:41
dpmRiddell, then it should be marked for translation (if it's not already), and its translation should appear in the ubiquity-desktop package -> https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ubiquity/+pots/ubiquity-desktop/ I'm not too sure how these translations are handled in ubiquity (they are only used for the Live session), but we specify the domain as 'ubiquity-desktop'16:42
nixternalRiddell: feel free to assign some of those bugs to me if you need...i can work on them later today16:46
Riddellnixternal: mostly it's ISO and upgrade testing we need today16:55
nixternalk, I will fire up qemu and test away then16:55
Riddellnixternal: oh and we need the upgrade process documented16:56
Riddellso if you fancy taking lots of screenshots16:56
RiddellI can't remember where we document it though, somewhere on help.ubuntu.com I think16:56
ScottKI bet claydoh knows.16:57
nixternalyeah, I know where it is, and so does claydoh :)16:59
nixternalthe process is pretty much the same, just change Jaunty->Karmic to Karmic->Lucid16:59
nixternalI just did the process 2 or 3 days ago on another machine16:59
Riddellhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades/Kubuntu is the one, Lucid page needing made and all the screenshots need retaken17:05
daskreechAre we supporting hardy _> Lucid?17:09
Riddellno17:10
daskreechok17:10
Riddellwell in theory no, in practice there will be ubuntu desktop users who have KDE installed and that upgrade shouldn't break17:11
shtylman_Riddell: is hardy -> lucid supported for ubuntu ?17:11
EagleScreenyes17:11
Riddellfor ubuntu desktop yes17:12
EagleScreenUbuntu supports upgrades from LTS to LTS17:12
shtylman_gotcha17:12
shtylman_EagleScreen: but eventually something will have to give? no? ... how far back will they support upgrades?17:15
Riddellonly one version to the next and LTS to LTS17:15
EagleScreenin practice you could upgrade frm any to any, using apt or aptitude tools17:16
shtylman_I see17:16
Riddellin practice using apt is likely to break and nobody will feel any sympathy for you17:16
shtylman_haha17:17
jussi01skype is evil.... or maybe its lucid...17:17
EagleScreenin practise i have been upgrade failures with your upgrade tools, that weren't produced with aptitude upgrade17:18
Riddellhumbug17:18
EagleScreenaptitude upgrade may fail, but your Ubuntu or Kubuntu upgrades may fail too17:18
shtylman_indeed17:18
shtylman_I have a friend who has never upgraded with the tools sucessfully17:19
shtylman_I never use the tools... I clean install17:19
EagleScreenat least 50% of upgrades fails in upgrade some package17:20
EagleScreenthat is usually a packager's fault17:20

lex79btw, I think "latest phonon patch" is for phonon 4.3.8017:31

dpmRiddell, a translator was asking me about https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/plasma-widget-networkmanagement He couldn't find some of the templates upstream and was wondering if some of those where Kubuntu-specific ones or were simply out of date17:37
dpmwould you happen to know that?17:37
Riddelldpm: not off the top of my head. there's nothing we add there in terms of strings but upstream changes quite a bit17:48
Riddellgive me a minute and I'll look17:48
dpmbrilliant, thanks17:48
JontheEchidnaconfirmation that upstream Plasma is really just proclaiming openSUSE superiority on high: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/03/17/the-kde-plasma-reference/17:49
RiddellJontheEchidna: grates slightly since we picked up plasma netbook first, but it's not like we have any easy way of doing daily package builds never mind daily package+CD builds17:52
JontheEchidnaI suppose, but at least they could say it as it is, instead of hiding behind the silly excuse of it being a reference distro17:53

jussi01lol20:03
apacheloggerit is funny that someone like me who constantly dismisses posts as TLDR always writes them long beasties himself :P20:03
ScottKThat's because you're always more interesting to yourself than other people are ....20:04
apacheloggersounds like a decent explanation :)20:05
ScottKapachelogger: KDE upstream is interested in .deb packaging for OBS for http://community.kde.org/Plasma_Netbook_Reference_Platform.  They are going to have weekly tarball snapshots.  I was thinking maybe your Neon stuff might be suitable to handle pushing stuff there and to a PPA, so our users can play too.20:08
ScottKI know that's a lot more complex.20:09
apacheloggerneon could freaking build $world if someone would care to implement it :P20:09
apacheloggerand refactor neon on that way ;)20:09
apacheloggerScottK: the thing with snapshots is that they only work as long as they maintain buildability with a stable base version of its dependencies20:10
apacheloggermost importantly kdelibs20:10
ScottKI think they're snapshotting all of KDE core for this.20:10
apacheloggerthere is already KDE snapshotting being done20:11
apacheloggerso what you end up with is maintaining not only the netbook package20:11
apacheloggerbut its dependencies20:11
apacheloggerand in turn the depdencies of the dependencies20:11
apacheloggerso yes, one could use neon for building snapshot packages of plasma-netbook20:12
apacheloggerI even implemented a function to obtain prepacked tarballs from ftp IIRC20:12
apacheloggerBUT one would need to maintain that thingyness as a coherent stack20:13
ScottKapachelogger: You need to reinvigorate your Neon proto-minion.20:13
ScottKYou've been slacking on minions.20:14
* apachelogger is slacking on everything20:14
apacheloggerQuintasan: could you please relaunch neon at some point? :P20:14
apacheloggerScottK: Nightrose even got Quintasan to look at it ;)20:14
apacheloggerthe thing with neon is that it is uber complex code that I insane as I was designed in a manner that an occational hacker could implement support for other distributions20:15
apacheloggerthis of course with the prices of uber abstract internals :)20:16

daskreechdantti: please get rid of the ridiculous you have updated pop up dialog :)23:12
danttidaskreech: hmm which one?23:13
daskreechwhen you change the sources list or check for any updates it does the equivalent of an apt-get update and then pops up a dialog in the screen to say you have been updated23:13
daskreechuseless, easy to lose and aggravating23:14
danttihmm I never saw that...23:14

Riddelldantti: we actually patch that part in Kubuntu23:16
Riddelldaskreech: rather ^^23:16
danttiRiddell: hmm so that is a kubuntu patch?23:17
RiddellThe Settings page is yes23:19
Riddellit's just a button which launches software-properties-kde in Kubuntu23:19
Riddellbecause packagekit doesn't do a bunch of things done in there23:19
danttiRiddell: right... now it only allows you to enable/disable it...23:21
Riddelldantti: I don't follow?23:21
danttii tried to propose something there but looks like that seting software origins is a thing that changes a lot between distros...23:22
danttiRiddell: I said PK only lets you enable/disable sources...23:22
Riddellright23:22
daskreechRiddell: Ah Well a) it's useless and b) I can't get it now cause I'm getting an error thrown on update23:23
