nixternaltrying to figure out, which driver is better for my mini 10v, the broadcom b43 or sta driver00:04
nixternalnobody seems to know00:04
JontheEchidnadantti: ^Shouldn't be any problem with that button being hidden, since it's not enabled atm, right?00:04
JontheEchidnanixternal: (un)fortunately I'm not an expert on proprietary vs unproprietary wireless drivers...00:06
nixternalyeah, me either00:06
JontheEchidnaI could moan about proprietary vs free nvidia drivers all day, though00:06
JontheEchidnathey both suck in their own little ways00:06
nixternalthe STA drivers I know work, and work fairly decently...however I can't scan with the STA drivers00:06
nixternalI guess I could try b43, see how it works, and if I don't like it, roll it back00:06
verbalshadownixternal: i have had very good experiences with b43 worked well for b,g networks00:10
nixternalthanks verbalshadow00:11
nixternali guess you can install drivers with jockey-text, only enable/disable them00:11
verbalshadowi always just use jockey-kde but text should work00:12
JontheEchidna-kde is broken atm00:13
verbalshadowahh00:13
nixternalmaco: did you ever figure out your wifi issue? my netbook will not connect to a damn thing01:24
nixternaleven with nm-applet, which always worked for me01:24
nixternalwell shit, nm-applet just worked01:29

jjessehrmm redownloading my isos to see if there is something wrong02:16
ScottKnixternal: The not creating a user thing is not known to me.  AFAIK the installer does that, so I don't see how it could be netbook specific.02:54
ScottKJontheEchidna: I assume you saw I got the kde4libs upload done ...02:54
JontheEchidnaScottK: yeah, thanks02:54
ScottKI'm in the middle of the rosetta onslaught from the kdepim upload i did a coupld of hours before.02:55

amichairanyone know what's the difference between http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/daily-live/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/ ? one I can rsync, the other not, and the duplicity is strange in any case...12:46
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
rgreeningamichair: the rsync protocol looks for the cdimage path.13:34
rgreeningit doesn't know about the http paths that the web server may have aliased to cdimage path13:34
amichairrgreening: why are there two web paths?13:36
rgreeningdunno. but I expect that the non-cdimage one is an alias to cdimage.13:37
amichairbtw I specify the full url to rsync, do u mean it's configured not to follow symlinks or something like that?13:37
rgreeningamichair: its likely an alias in the web server and rsync doesn't know about the alias (a symlink may not exist)13:38
amichairoh, right13:39
rgreeningamichair: here's the path I use (for x86): rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/kubuntu/daily-live/current/lucid-desktop-i386.iso13:39
amichairrgreening: yeah, that's basically what worked for me (with amd64).13:40
rgreeningamichair: its the correct path to use for rsync.13:40

tseliotScottK, JontheEchidna: I need to upload my patch for bug #540177 . How shall I proceed?15:15
ubottuLaunchpad bug 540177 in kdebase-workspace "KDM needs plymouth transition patch" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54017715:16
tseliote.g. commit my change in my own bzr branch, upload the package and ask you to merge from my branch?15:16
ScottKtseliot: That or just upload the package and one of us can update the branch from the source.15:17
ScottKWhichever works for you.15:17
tseliotScottK: also, any objections to the changes that I made to the debian/patches/series file (also, I promise to format the changelog a little better)? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/401837/15:19
ScottKlooking15:19
tseliotthanks15:19
ScottKtseliot: Why the change in 07_kdmrc_defaults_kubuntu.diff?15:20
ScottKYou document that you're changing it, but not why.15:21
ScottKIs the bulletproof X patch ever going to be useful again?  IIRC it was not working before and should probably be removed, not just commented.15:22
tseliotScottK: right, because we need to start the xserver without clearing the screen (which still has the bootsplash on) in order to get a nice transition15:22
ScottKOK.  Makes sense, but it'd be good to say that.15:23
ScottKAlso you don't document disabling kubuntu_104_kdm_active_vt_plymouth.diff.15:23
ScottKShould that be removed too?15:23
tseliotI merged my patch with the bulletproof X one and bulletproof X will work when a new plymouth is uploaded15:23
ScottKAh, Ok.15:23
ScottKWhat about 104?15:23
tseliotyes, that patch doesn't really work well15:23
tseliot(104)15:23
tseliotand should be removed15:24
ScottKI gather it's OBE due to your new patch?15:24
tseliotof course I'll document things better ;)15:24
ScottKThat should get documented.15:24
tseliotI doubt it ever worked as planned (as they do things differently in fedora) but yes, my patch replaces that too15:25
tseliotok15:25
ScottKAs long as it works and the changes are well documented, I'm happy.15:26
tseliotok, good15:26
ScottKSomeone may want to backport the packaging changes I did for kdepim yesterday to the karmic PPA.  It would solve some problems I've seen people report.15:34
tseliotScottK: the final debdiff: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/401853/15:39
ScottKLooking15:39
ScottKJontheEchidna: Do you have any input ^^^?15:39
JontheEchidnaLooks good to me15:40
tseliotnote: the patch works well here with -intel15:40
ScottKtseliot: Why are we disabling the patches instead of removing them?15:40
ScottKIntel is all I have, so I couldn't contribute to more testing.15:40
tseliotScottK: some may want a smaller diff but if you prefer to simply remove those patches, I'll do it15:42
tseliotwhatever works better for you, I'm not the maintainer ;)15:42
ScottKtseliot: I'd prefer to not leave junk patches in the package.  You don't need to show me the diff again, just correct the changelog to match.15:42
ScottKI'd say go for it.15:43
ScottKThe patches are in the bzr history if we ever need to refer to them.15:43
tseliotScottK, JontheEchidna: ok, I'll remove those patches. Thanks for reviewing my patch15:44
ScottKtseliot: No problem.  If it doesn't work, we know where to find you ....15:45
JontheEchidnaThanks a lot for making the patch, otherwise this probably wouldn't have gotten don :)15:45
tseliotoh, shall I remove or comment out those lines in the "series" file?15:45
tseliothehe, yes, sure, if you have problems, just let me know ;)15:46
ScottKtseliot: Thanks for helping out with Kubuntu.15:46
tseliot:-)15:46
ScottKtseliot: Remove the patches from series too please.15:47

rocketman768I have an app built on Qt and Phonon for KDE that I was hoping someone might help me include directly into Kubuntu. It is called brewtarget and can be found on http://sourceforge.net/projects/brewtarget . I have built it as a debian package and submitted it to mentors.debian.net, but after about a year, it seems that no one at debian is willing to sponsor my package and put it in their repositories. I would appreciate any 19:32
ScottKrocketman768: Did you contact the Debian Qt/KDE team?19:33
ScottKI'd go to #debian-qt-kde on oftc and ask about getting sponsored there.19:33

rgreeningto the batcave. 4.4.2 is ready for pkg19:34
rgreeningJontheEchidna: batcave. kde 4.4,.2 rdy for pkg19:38
JontheEchidnargreening: I thought we weren't using the batcave anymore19:39
rgreeninghmm.. news to me19:39
rgreeningi thought for pre-rel pkging we were still.19:39
rgreeningJontheEchidna: I mean bunker (==batcave)19:40
JontheEchidnaWe've switched to just adding our packagers to ktown's access list, instead of hosting the tars on a secret external server19:40
rgreeningnot the website19:40
rgreeningyes. see my comment above :P19:41
JontheEchidnaso there's really no need for a secret channel, since the only thing that is/needs to be secret would be the link19:41
rgreeningoh19:41
rgreeninggood enuf.19:41
JontheEchidnaI guess I'll join there, but I'll do packaging talk out here :)19:42
rgreeningso JontheEchidna, Riddell asked me to lead this one.19:42
rgreeningAny tips for starting?19:42
JontheEchidnahum19:42
JontheEchidnato tell you the truth things have gotten a bit less structured over the last few releases19:42
rgreeningheh\19:42
rgreeningok then...19:43
rgreeningI guess I'll just make sure everything gets done and review the bzr to make sure the updates match the uploaded packages in the PPA prior to upload to archive19:43
JontheEchidnaBefore, the person leading would personally pbuild the packages for extra QA, but we haven't done that recently (not necessarily a good thing)19:43
rgreeningI have no issues building everything from scratch as we go19:44
rgreeningif we should start that up again19:44
JontheEchidnathe workflow we've been using is pbuild -> push to ppa/bzr -> test install -> release19:44
rgreeningJontheEchidna: we still using ninja PPA first though, correct?19:45
JontheEchidnayus19:45
rgreeningokies. then Im set.19:45
JontheEchidnargreening: oh, and once uploads start, I can help out with that.19:45
rgreeningI have to take the dog out.. so I'll be out for a bit. I'll check in after. cool. ty JontheEchidna19:46
JontheEchidnaI only have upload priviledges for half the packages though... still waiting on my core-dev app :(19:46
JontheEchidnahave fun19:46
rgreeningJontheEchidna: so the kubuntu-dev doesn't allow upload all the kde packages?19:46
JontheEchidnargreening: no :/19:47
rgreeningor you are seeking motu+core19:47
JontheEchidnaI am seeking kubuntu-dev+core19:47
JontheEchidna+motu19:47
rgreeningI thought the per package upload was why we did all this?19:47
rgreeningso all kde core apps would be covered by kubuntu-dev19:47
JontheEchidna^^19:47
JontheEchidnaIt's not, though. And the powers that be said they won't change it19:48
JontheEchidnavery :/19:48
rgreeningwtf19:48
rgreeningthats just stupid then.19:48
rgreeningwhy have the kubuntu-dev at all19:48
rgreeningretarded19:48
rgreeningit would have been better for just keeping motu+core-dev then wrt kde19:48
JontheEchidnawell, I do have privs to most of the non-core, seeded KDE apps like KPackagekit, konversation, quassel, kbluetooth, etc19:48
JontheEchidnaand about half of the core kde modules19:49
rgreeningso, what, kdelibs doesn't get approved by kubuntu-dev and possibly kdepimlibs?19:49
rgreeninggawd!19:49
rgreeningsome days I wonder how kubuntu survives at all19:50
JontheEchidnaI bitch about this in my core-dev app: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/JonathanThomas/CoreDevApplication19:50
JontheEchidna"Areas of work" section19:50
rgreeninghaha19:50
ScottKMaybe we need a kubuntu-core-dev for the non-kubuntu-dev bits of Kubuntu20:00
ryanakcatoo many teams :P20:06
ryanakca... and he's gone. Anybody else working on the 4.4.2 packages and would like some help?20:07

QuintasanJontheEchidna: it is in kdebase-apps?20:10
JontheEchidnaQuintasan: the patch is in regular kdebase, yes20:10
JontheEchidnaI think20:10
ScottKThat'd make sense.20:10
JontheEchidnamaybe kde4libs20:10
JontheEchidnayeah, kde4libs, kubuntu_06_user_disk_mounting.diff20:11
JontheEchidnaI don't know much except "It should in theory work" and "this seems to break in a different way at least once per cycle"20:11
Quintasanhmm20:13
Quintasanshouldnt is use kdesudo not kdesu?20:13
QuintasanJontheEchidna: http://wklej.org/id/304517/ <-- like this20:14
JontheEchidnaQuintasan: then we have a circular dep between kdelibs and kdesudo20:15
JontheEchidnaanyways, that shouldn't be the issue20:15
Quintasanawesome20:17
Quintasan /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu points to /etc/alternatives/kdesu which points to /usr/bin/kdesudo20:17

QuintasanJontheEchidna: where the hell kdesu comes from anyways?20:19
JontheEchidnaQuintasan: kdebase-runtime20:19
QuintasanI wonder what is the actual problem since Dolphin only puts come HAL error which tells nothing20:20
ScottKdebfx: Nowish would be a good time to discuss your brightness OSD patch since we're doing an update.  It didn't get in already did it?20:22
QuintasanHAL was crap already and IMO the best solution would be very sudden transition to PolicyKit20:24
gon_clHello, I would like to help with some arrangements of the Spanish translation20:24
debfxScottK: I don't so, Riddell said he'll look at it, but he probably didn't come it yet20:24
gon_clWhere can I propose translations?20:24
gon_clIn the launchpad (Lucid), I see no translations for KDE packages20:24
Quintasangon_cl: contact your upstream tranlslations team for your language20:25
Quintasantranslations*20:25
gon_clthanks20:26
JontheEchidnaQuintasan: It's not a question of HAL vs PolicyKit. One's a hardware layer and one's an authorization layer20:27
QuintasanI know that, but the fault is somewhere between those two20:28
Quintasanso either PK or HAL is crap20:28
JontheEchidnaah, I see. I misunderstood your original rant20:28
Quintasanbut since the HAL throws some nasty messages at users the it is probably HAL20:29
Quintasancd /var/log20:29

JontheEchidnax_O20:36
QuintasanJontheEchidna: what were you expecting from spreading heresy?20:37
Quintasan:P20:37
debfxScottK: previously I didn't show the OSD if brightness_in_hardware was set to true as some buggy hardware/driver sent brightness key events on every brightness change20:43
debfxspecifically the MSI Wind, which has been fixed in Lucid20:43
ScottKdebfx: So what should be do now?20:44
debfxin Lucid brightness_in_hardware is always true as an acpi brightness kernel config has been activated20:45
ScottKMaybe JontheEchidna could review your updated patch since Riddell is away.20:45
debfxI think we should always show the OSD and ignore brightness_in_hardware for that part20:46
ScottKI think if we get it in before the beta2, that sounds OK.20:47
debfxJontheEchidna: this is the merge request: https://code.launchpad.net/~debfx/kdebase-workspace/ubuntu/+merge/2178520:48
