JontheEchidnaCould I get a peer review on this? http://pastebin.com/DjNjCBxj00:41
JontheEchidnaAs long as we add the following to nepomukserverrc in k-d-s:00:42

JontheEchidnaFirst start=true00:42
JontheEchidnaThat patch will disable strigi indexing on computers with less than 1 GB ram00:42
JontheEchidnaoh, I forgot to change the ">" sign to a "<" sign in the pastebin :)00:47
JontheEchidnaall in all, should save ~60MB of RAM on sub-1GB RAM systems00:53
ScottKJontheEchidna: How about 1GB or less.  That'd catch most netbooks and I think that's a good thing.01:57
JontheEchidnasounds good02:03

apacheloggerJontheEchidna: is it just me or does knh just like unk not report apport stuff  at the time of crash?08:41
apacheloggerI only get reports on login08:42
Mamarokapachelogger: any reasons why I shouldn't upgrade to beta?09:14
apacheloggerMamarok: I would first run the live cd to ensure that graphics works :)09:32
apacheloggerbut other htan that I dont see why not09:32
Mamarokapachelogger: what known problems are there with graphics?09:34
apacheloggerI am not up to date09:35
apacheloggerbut I have heared the nvidia stuff is causing problems09:35
apacheloggerthe free driver anyway09:35
MamarokI have ATI, and the Radeon drivers work here in Karmic09:35
apacheloggerwell, then you should be good09:35
MamarokOK, reinstalling my system then09:36
Sputcan't you just upgrade, Mamarok?09:37
MamarokSput: I want to get rid of the encryption, so reinstall it will be, since I encrypted the FS09:39
Mamarokand I want to get rid of the Windows partioton, too, since I never use them anyway09:40
SputMamarok: any particular reason to unencrpyt? too slow?09:40
Mamarokyep, utterly slow09:40
=== Blizzzek is now known as Blizzz
Sputok, so I'll stick with my decision to not do full-disk encryption09:43
Mamarokyeah, I will not repeat that, nor would I encrypt a /home/usr folder neither09:45
Mamarokhaving a race horse and slowing it down is not exactly a good idea09:47
apacheloggerwell09:52
apacheloggermost hardware implementations of encryption already come with a considerable overhead09:52
apacheloggerno wonder a pure software implementation slows down that much :)09:53

JontheEchidnaapachelogger: I can get it to report crashes as they happen, sometimes. It doesn't get every one though12:40
JontheEchidnaperhaps some kdirwatch unreliability12:40
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: I have found cases where apport won't be able to make a report without being root12:40
JontheEchidnae.g. when the kernel fails to install or a daemon running as root crashes12:41
robinpI just installed the beta from the amd64 dvd, however I have no kicker by default - how do I get it back & is this a known bug (I couldn't see it specifically listed in the known bugs)13:50
shadeslayerrobinp: hmm... did it work on the live cd?14:00
shadeslayerrobinp: oh and you mean the K in the taskbar? just go to add widgets and add the Application launcher14:01
robinpim not sure if it worked on the live cd - i didn't look too closely - just double clicked the 'install kubuntu' icon14:02
freeflyingI switched back to mutt eventually14:02
shadeslayerrobinp: hehe... well if you still have the DVD lying around can you check it afterwards and report a bug?14:03
robinpshadeslayer: and i mean the whole bar is missing - not just the kde menu!14:03
shadeslayerrobinp: :o14:03
shadeslayerrobinp: ok well just add the panel by right click on the dekstop and add panel14:03
robinpshadeslayer: ok - i was kinda hoping there was some way where I didn't have to build the whole thing  from scratch14:04
shadeslayerrobinp: hmm that can be done too14:05
shadeslayerrobinp: but youll lose your KDE customizations if any14:05
shadeslayerrobinp: just do : rm -rf .kde :14:06
robinpshadeslayer: nah its a clean install14:07
shadeslayerrobinp: ok well just login to a tty and run that command and then login to kde14:08
shadeslayerrobinp: dont run it while your in kde14:08
robinpshadeslayer: rm -rf .kde then logging out then in fixed it14:08
shadeslayerrobinp: ah well that should do it too,but i was just being cautious :)14:09
robinpshadeslayer: so im gussing the default .kde folder may have issues - ill retry the ubuntu live dvd14:10
shadeslayerrobinp: please do and file a bug against the kdebase package via ubuntu-bug kdebase-data-kde414:12
robinpshadeslayer: yeah - its missing from the livecd (dvd in this case) session as well14:16
shadeslayerJontheEchidna: ping14:17

robinpmine is pretty much the same except im using vmware :)14:21

shadeslayerJontheEchidna: oh btw is it possible to set all channels in kmix as high for the default install?14:31
JontheEchidnanot from kmix, I don't think.14:31
JontheEchidnathat stuff's probably controlled by alsa14:32
JontheEchidnacrimsun: any insight^?14:32
shadeslayerJontheEchidna: im saying this because its a usability bug,by default the sound is so low that you cant hear anything14:35
shadeslayerand in order to increase the sound you have to select all the channels and then set everything to high14:36
JontheEchidnayeah, that can be a pain sometimes. But KMix is really just a frontend for the alsa mixer system, so I don't think there's much we can do about it fron KDE14:36
ScottKJontheEchidna: While you're working on kde4libs for 321281, could you also take care of Bug #540944.  It looks like there's an upstream fix that is worth considering for backporting.14:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 540944 in kde4libs "kde debugging enabled by default" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54094414:40
JontheEchidnaScottK: sure. Right now I'm making strigi be a little more quiet about its notifications14:41
ScottKI'm definitely in favor of that.14:41
JontheEchidnaHere's my plan14:41
JontheEchidnamake strigi shut up about everything except suspending for low disk space14:41
JontheEchidnathen make the tray icon passive (hidden by default) so that concerned users can still check its progress14:42
ScottKSounds about right.14:42
JontheEchidnabut never have the tray icon jump to active, since it does this entirely too much when nobody really cares14:42
ScottKGood.14:43

shadeslayerbut! i think this is more of a driver issue than a kcm touchpad issue15:07
JontheEchidnawell, laptop manufactuers have been known to put webcams in upside down. wouldn't suprise me if the drivers were buggy15:08
shadeslayerJontheEchidna: webcams?15:08

nixternalfedoralogger: can't say that I do, but common sense, if i had any, would lead me to believe it would be an area where knowledge is stored...ie. ubuntu forums could be considered a knowledge area?17:15

crimsunshadeslayer: there is fundamentally no way to expose quirk information from the hardware level up to kmix18:09
crimsun(which is different to both Mac OS and Windows XP/Vista/7)18:09
crimsunshadeslayer: that said, you certainly could edit /lib/udev/alsa-utils to your desired settings for the start() target, but that's only valid for the very first boot/install anyhow, and it's very specific to your system.18:10
shadeslayercrimsun: ah ok18:11
shadeslayercrimsun: so there is no way to tweak this in the packaging it self?18:11
crimsunshadeslayer: the alsa-utils source/binary ships debian/init (installed as /lib/udev/alsa-utils)18:12
