DarkwingDuckget it build nixternal?00:25
DarkwingDuckjjesse: help.kubuntu.org00:25
nixternalyup00:26
nixternalDarkwingDuck: for h.k.o, it is just scripts that build out the current documentation to documentation suitable for the website with custom website css00:27
nixternalit is pretty much done...just need to get css files from ryanacka and ofirk00:27
DarkwingDuckso it will turn the docs into a base like docs.kde.org00:27
jjesseah00:28
jjessebeen waiting for that for a long time :)00:28
DarkwingDucknixternal: so, we are actually good on the built?00:31
DarkwingDucks/built/build00:31
=== rgreening_ is now known as rgreening
nixternalDarkwingDuck: pretty much00:35
nixternalw00t, streamlined our makefile and debian rules00:35
nixternalhotness!!!00:35
rgreeningheh00:38
nixternaland now let there be weirdness00:46
nixternali do not see how, but everything is also being installed to /usr/share/kde4/apps/khelpcenter/plugins/kubuntu00:47
* rgreening is busily dloading kde 4.4.2 to build...00:47
nixternaldl dl dl!!!00:49

DarkwingDuckbrb00:55
* rgreening is starting guitar lessons tomorrow00:56
geniirgreening_: You have an actual guitar?00:59
nixternalrgreening_: I need to do the same...I recently pulled my guitar out and not only is it out of tune, but so am I01:00
jjessewhy is it so hard to report a #%#%(*&#% bug on launchpad01:09
jjessewheres the report a bug link01:09
ScottKjjesse: I think the lack of username is an installer bug.  I'm hoping shtylman is aware.01:27
ScottKshtylman: No news on the new branding, but I made it an issue at the release team meeting today and actions were assigned.01:28
shtylmanScottK: cool01:28
shtylmanScottK: what is the username issue?01:28
jjesseScottK: i've tried to report it as a bug but launchpad times out all the time01:28
ScottKshtylman: jjesse had it, let him give you the details.01:28
jjesseshtylman: yes, no where do i get the menu/selection to put in myusernmane and password01:30
jjessepersonal details01:30
yuriyjjesse: even when you use the website?01:30
shtylmanjjesse: for the installer?01:30
jjesseshtylman: in the installer, there is no screen/section for the about me details, such as name, username, password, computer name, etc01:30
shtylmanjjesse: that's certainly new01:31
shtylmanI will check that out...01:31
nixternalshtylman: I got this with the netbook installer with yesterday's iso as well01:31
nixternalit goes from drive partitioning right into the install...you get a progress dialog showing the partitioning, and then it is right into installing from it01:31
jjessenixternal: that's what happens w/ me01:32
nixternalthere are 4 options in the installer. Locale, keyboard, ...., partitioning01:32
nixternalwhat is the 4th option? maybe there are only 301:32
nixternalgotta head out for about an hour...bbiaf01:33
jjesseshtylman: let me know if there is anything i can do to help01:34
ScottKThat's right nixternal was the other one.01:37
ScottKBTW, nixternal, not all KDE packages are CDBS anymore.  Debhelper 7 is the new thing.01:37
jjesseshtylman: i've seen it on both my kubuntu netbook build and desktop edition01:38
nixternalScottK: yeah, forgot about that...been busy building RPMs, almost forgot how to do debs :)03:04
nixternalOK, this is annoying as hell....whenever I scp to my Lucid box, I get a message about updates or some shit being available04:26
maconixternal: so ssh in and install them?04:27
nixternalthere are no updates04:27
macowell that's silly04:27
maconixternal: did you try informing it of that, sternly?04:28
nixternalSoftware upgrade notifications are available04:28
nixternalthat's what it says04:28
nixternali hate notifications with a passion04:28
nixternalnice, and when you click on "Details", KDE Daemon crahses04:29
nixternalARGH!04:29
nixternalfile a bug time04:29
crimsuntouch ~/.hushlogin04:32
macocrimsun: dont think that fixes the fact that it's wrong04:33
crimsunyou can change the frequency in cronjob04:33
crimsunit's only done daily04:33
crimsunanyhow, if you're really annoyed by notifications of any sort, you want ~/.hushlogin04:34

nixternalcan anyone reproduce that one? I am willing to bet you can since this happend on every one of my Kubuntu boxes04:35
nixternalI am sending Canonical a bill, this is just way to much work to maintain kubuntu-docs and keep the package hot04:40
crimsunwelcome to my world04:41
macokubotu: give crimsun and nixternal cookies04:42
macokubotu: order cookies for crimsun and nixternal04:42
* kubotu slides a whole bunch of world's finest cookies down the bar to crimsun and nixternal.04:42
macohey there we go04:43
crimsunI think nixternal ate my cookies04:43
macooh right04:43
crimsunoh, no, I cleared them on browser shutdown04:43
macokubotu: give crimsun vegan chocolate-free gluten-free cookies04:43

neversfeldemaco: "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung" probably best to compare with a limited in UK, but not completely the same05:10
nixternalahh shit05:11
nixternalthat bug I reported is on a kubuntu app, kubuntu-notification-helper05:11
nixternalthat is the bastard who notifies me everytime I scp05:11
nixternalneed to get that picked up by apport and not kde bug manager05:11
ulyssesgreetings08:42
ulyssesI just read the e-mail about the uploading of Kubuntu documentation, and I want to ask, where can I find it to translate?08:43
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: http://wklej.org/id/304517/ is madness11:32
apacheloggerkdesu is part of kdebase-runtime on kubuntu systems it gets switched to kdesudo via update-alternatives11:33
apacheloggeralso the fact that the path is hardcoded is a bit of a shot in the head11:33
JontheEchidnanixternal: yo, could you report that bug to launchpad, and also attatch the contents of /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/?11:47
JontheEchidna(the KDED crash)11:47
JontheEchidnathough I didn't know calling contains() on a QMap could cause a crash...11:48
JontheEchidnaapachelogger: I think that the patch doesn't work (and breaks every cycle) is a bit more mad11:50
apacheloggerwell11:50
apacheloggeryou know my point on patches altogether ;)11:50
apacheloggerJontheEchidna: how do other distros do this anyway?11:51
JontheEchidna*shrug*11:51
JontheEchidnanixternal: Oh, and kubuntu-notification-helper don't do scp's. Just Apport, upgrade hooks (which is what was crashing for you), codec install prompts and reboot needed notifications11:52
apacheloggernixternal: if I got that right, then I think what annoys you is motd11:57
apacheloggerwhich btw alos eats bash startup time because last I checked it was written in python :S11:57
amichairwhere can I find the kubuntu-notification-helper issue tracker?13:16
ScottKamichair: Should be in Launchpad.13:18
ScottKThat or JontheEchidna's head.13:18
ScottKOne of the two.13:18

crimsunnixternal: passing through ORD again today16:52
jjesse-droidI hate order with a passion of a thousand burning sons16:52
jjesse-droidMeant ORD16:53
crimsunyeah, well, it's better than DEN16:53
crimsunalthough that isn't saying too much16:54
jjesse-droidI try to go through. DEN instead of ORD when going west coast16:56
jjesse-droidIRC through my Droid is a little silly o think16:57
ScottKSometimes I love the Droid autocorrect.  Sometimes I hate it.17:01
crimsunhate, hate DEN with a passion17:06
crimsuntoo bad (for obvious reasons) int'l flights aren't direct17:06
jjesse-droidI live in a city with a small airport most flights require a connection17:07
nixternalcrimsun: what time?17:09
nixternalhow long?17:09
ScottKI always seem to be changing planes in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, or Philadelphia.  I guess I must be picking the right air lines to travel.17:09
nixternali never change planes, just socks17:09
nixternalI was supposed to have a meeting with ofirk on Kubuntu slogans and hour ago, but it seems he wasn't here then and he isn't here now17:10
* ScottK considers what else besides socks ends up not changed and shudders17:10
nixternalturn em inside out17:11
crimsunnixternal: should be in around 6 your time17:12
nixternalJontheEchidna: what were you talking about with kubuntu-notification-helper and scp? if not, then how come everytime i scp to this machine it pops that message up?17:12
crimsunnixternal: got ~3 hours for the layover17:12
JontheEchidnanixternal: which message? I thought you said it was popping up a notification about the scp17:12
nixternalnot about the scp, something about upgrade notifications are now available or some garbage17:13
JontheEchidnaoh, you installed a package that has an upgrade notification hook17:13
JontheEchidnanixternal: what's in /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/?17:13
nixternalJontheEchidna: this is out of the box that it does this17:14
JontheEchidna:S17:14
nixternalapt-file-update  ecryptfs-record-passphrase  incomplete-language-support-qt.note17:14
JontheEchidnanixternal: could I get copies of those files? One of them is causing the parser to choke, apparently17:15
* JontheEchidna has a 3-hour car driver later today, gotta have something to do ;-)17:15
nixternalJontheEchidna: http://paste.ubuntu.com/402496/17:17
JontheEchidnathx17:17
JontheEchidnanixternal: I'm thinking that the incomplete language support one is the cause. Could you see if removing that one helps?17:18
nixternalJontheEchidna: http://paste.ubuntu.com/402497/  <- that is the trace there17:19
nixternalJontheEchidna: yeah, gonna do that one now, because i thought the same thing17:19
JontheEchidnaprob. a bug in regards to getting the translated hook message17:20
nixternalthat was it17:20
nixternalnow what are you going to do on your 3 hour car ride?17:20
JontheEchidnafix the bug, I guess17:20
nixternalhehe17:20
nixternaloh that is so lovely, no more popup....that was so damn annoying..i could have just done "never show again" but glad I didn't, found you a bug to work on now :)17:21
nixternali wasn't even putting it together with scp until last night17:21
JontheEchidnanixternal: I think I forgot to account for the .UTF-8 in the parsing code17:23
ScottKThere are times I'd be glad to pay for the wifi if if was just faster.17:23
DarkwingDuck:)17:23
JontheEchidnathe upgrade hook spec failed to mention that possibility17:23
ScottKDon't forget to file a bug on the spec.17:23
nixternalahh, i bet your right...that is the one thing that gets me is the language stuff...it has not only got me with qt/python/c++, but also with django17:23
JontheEchidnanixternal: congrats, you are the first user outside of the kubuntu-notification-helper devs to experience a crash caused by it :)17:26
nixternalomg! omg! omg! do I win anything?17:27
JontheEchidnaa bugfix? :P17:27
DarkwingDuckthat will suck the joy out17:28
nixternaland it did17:29
nixternalI am going to go to tiger direct today anyways, so I will at least get a little bit of job back17:29
nixternaljust knowing that every thing electronic, computer, home entertainment, and then some is right at my fingertips causes a bit of joy17:29
nixternalwho needs newegg when you live 10 miles from a CompUSA store, or 10 miles from the Tiger Direct warehouse and store17:30
nixternaland 10 miles from Frys17:30
nixternalFrys is where I bought my purse for my netbook :)17:30
ScottKMe when I don't feel like driving.17:30
ScottKOur CompUSA went out of business and there wasn't much else around.17:31
DarkwingDuck:D17:31
ScottKThe one good store around here I know of is a small no name one where pretty much all they speak is Korean.17:31
ScottKThey have interesting things of questionable provenance.17:31
DarkwingDucklast time i was in korea i went to a computer superstore... it was a bit crazy17:39
verbalshadowi love the electronic market in seoul17:41
nixternalScottK: CompUSA is now the old Tiger Direct stores17:51
nixternalI worked as the Tech Manager for CompUSA before they went out of business17:51
jjesseall the compusas in MI are closed down17:51
nixternalTiger Direct bought the rights to CompUSA17:52
nixternalyeah, tiger direct is a chicago thing, so now all of the tiger direct stores are compusa, and the warehouse is still tiger direct17:52
ScottKWeird.18:20
nixternalyes, we know you are, but we still love you18:21
ScottKRight, well I've never denied that.  You have no idea, really.18:22
nixternalwhat is weird then?18:23
ScottKThe whole TigerDirect/CompUSA thing18:24
Riddellglatzor: hi18:26
ScottKRiddell: Short version of the release team meeting is that slangasek took an action to get some movement on branding stuff so we can get it in for beta 2.  They are aware 4.4.2 is coming before Beta 2.  Also tselliot's KDM patch for smooth transition with Plymouth is uploaded.18:33
Riddellgreat, thanks ScottK18:34
Riddellaction on branding on our side I think is to have a meeting and vote on the logos18:34
ScottKRight.  We still need a K though.18:35
Riddellyes, that's the action needed on the design team side18:35
ScottKWe ought to schedule the meeting before Thursday then.18:35
Riddellit's on my todo of things to sort tonight18:35
ScottKGreat.18:36
ScottKRiddell: Also on that front, nixternal said something about doing a plymouth theme for us.  Not sure how much he got done.  We'll need that by Thursday too.18:38
Riddellwhy thursday?18:39
Riddelloh, freeze18:39
Riddellmm18:39
ScottKYep18:39
txwikingerany bugs or packages we should look at in our jam?18:53
ScottKtxwikinger: kdebase-workspace always seems to have a pile of bugs needsing triage.18:57
glatzorevening Riddell19:23
glatzorIt is already to late for PackageKit 05.8?19:23
glatzorIt would contain some unicode fixes19:23
txwikingerok. ScottK I will have a look at it19:25
Riddellglatzor: i tried to package it19:29
Riddellglatzor: but the mozilla plugin didn't get compield19:29
Riddellcompiled19:29
Riddelland I couldn't work out why19:29
nixternalScottK: I did a theme in 5 minutes...it is ugly as hell, but it is easy to do20:21
Riddellnixternal: might be worth uploading it though just so we have the packaging sorted20:27
Riddellrgreening: how's 4.4.2 doing?20:27
DarkwingDuckplymoth themes?20:27
DarkwingDuckwhy not take the ubuntu one, add a k and make it blueish?20:29
DarkwingDuckAnd the gears20:30
DarkwingDuckOr, just the text "erasing hard drive" with a status update in percentage.20:31
DarkwingDuck:D20:32
* Quintasan saw in his head headlines saying: "KUBUNTU TROLLS ITS OWN USERS?!?!?!"20:33
DarkwingDucklol20:34
Quintasanif we want to purse that way20:35
nixternalRiddell: put it in kubuntu-default-settings?20:35
Quintasanput coolface.jpg and text = "sup? I'm formattin' ur hdd, mmkay problem?"20:36
DarkwingDuckDave... What are you doing dave... With HAL2000 in the corner20:36
nixternalRiddell: or should I create a new package 'plymouth-theme-kde'? I am thinking that kubuntu-default-settings is the best place for it though20:37
nixternalI will have that done either tonight or tomorrow...I have it on my todo list...also working with ofirk on the website as well...though I am wondering how everything will fit now with the rebranding20:38
DarkwingDucknixternal: have you pushed the docs to a site yet?20:39
nixternalwhat i have seen of the ubuntu.com sites is really really nice and professional looking, so maybe ofirk can steal, err I mean borrow, some ideas to at least shart a little bit20:39
nixternalDarkwingDuck: no, won't push them to the site until the new site is up20:39
nixternalnot wasting my time or resources to maintain 2 copies20:39
DarkwingDuckRoger. What can I do?20:39
nixternalI will write the plymouth script tonight, and redo the artwork a bit20:39
nixternalDarkwingDuck: nothing doc wise right now...only 6 of the translation templates have been approved so far20:40
DarkwingDuckOk, Anything else non-doc related that my non-programming ass can help with?20:41
nixternalI am gonna head out to the Trek store and pick up some new bike wheels, new handlebars, a bunch of tires and tubes, and something else...can't remember20:41
nixternaljust got my team cash, $1,500 for the year20:41
nixternalwoohoo20:41
nixternalstock up now and get it over with20:41
DarkwingDuck:D20:43
Riddellnixternal: source in kubuntu-default-settings making a new package plymouth-theme-kubuntu ?20:45
Riddellkubuntu-plymouth-theme is consistent20:46
nixternalRiddell: yeah, I think that is how you name the themes20:48
* nixternal checks the xubuntu one20:48
nixternalRiddell: kubuntu-plymouth-theme20:48
nixternalI will switch up the artwork so it pulsates "nixternal" instead of Kubuntu :p20:49
nixternalpulsates and nixternal in the same sentence sounds almost illegal, definitely disturbing20:49
