DarkwingDuckjjesse: I talked to nixternal today, I think we are going to leave this doc release and bug run for Maverick to save the translators03:11
jjessereally??? why it is a lts03:14
jjessewe should be fixing bugs on lts's03:14
jjesseincluding doc bugs03:14
jjessehold on brb03:15
=== jonathan__ is now known as jjesse
jjesseDarkwingDuck: would be interested to hear nixternal's reasoning03:17
DarkwingDuckjjesse:03:18
DarkwingDuckjjesse: I think that we should fix what we can and push it out like Matt talked about in May03:18
jjesseagreed03:19
DarkwingDuckI don't know nixternal's reasoning when I talked to him but, I agree with you that because it is an LTS we should bug fix ASAP03:19
DarkwingDuckI know he has no time so I'm guessing it's gonna be us to fix03:19
DarkwingDuckIt's may 1st. How much time will you have this week?03:19
jjessedont' know03:20
jjessethe problem is buildign the packages03:20
jjesseand that's what nixternal really hates doing03:20
jjesseunless you know how to do it?03:20
jjessemay 1st is today03:20
jjessewas today03:20
DarkwingDuckYeah03:20
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
DarkwingDuckI don't know how to build... Never done it but, I've been wanting to learn.03:20
jjessei think we just need to get as many fixed as possible and then figure out how to update03:20
DarkwingDuckAgreed03:21
DarkwingDuckI've assigned myself 1103:22
DarkwingDuckthere are three new03:23
DarkwingDuckThat is 14 reported bugs.03:23

DarkwingDuckWe'll kick these out by fri night and we'll get them rebuilt. Just upload to the lp:kubuntu-docs branch or, upload the paches to the bugs and I'll figure out what branch to place them in.03:26
DarkwingDuckjjesse: assigned03:30
jjesseawesome thanks03:30
DarkwingDuckNP We'll get this kicked out. Let's go ahead and upload to the maverick branch so they are fixed there for +1 anyway.03:31

Tm_TScottK: I don't know how to install without damaging the current installation, virtual machine isn't option I guess, with 512 MiB ram09:12
imbrandonTm_T: what ya after ?09:18
Tm_Timbrandon: ppc images needs install test09:19
imbrandonTm_T: ah09:19
Tm_Tbut I don't want to crap out the system I need to use09:20
imbrandonright09:20
imbrandonyea thats not a good thing09:20
ScottKTm_T: OK.  I guess it's up to nixternal then.12:00
Tm_Tshame I can't help more ):12:12

=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
DaskreechHallo. Is it kdeinit that starts the kdebluetooth on login ?15:20
sithlord48hey devel ppls. can some one possibly expain this oddity i had durring install, i installed (saveing my /home partition) after install my video worked 100% desktop effects nice plymouth (i have a raideon 4830HD) . after first reboot i had lost glx and 3d accel, and was prompted by jockey to install fglrx driver. now ulgy plymouth , can anyone explain this oddity15:34
=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
Quintasansithlord48: this a problem with the driver itself if I am informed correctly. There was a solution somewhere on softpedia but I can't say for sure whether it works.15:59
sithlord48ok but what driver was i useing before restart the radionhd one?16:00
Quintasansithlord48: probably the opensource radeon16:00
Quintasansithlord48: wait, you have installed FGLRX, right?16:00
sithlord48now i have16:01
Quintasansithlord48: I think Kubuntu uses radeonhd by default16:01
sithlord48i know its causeing my ulgy plymouth, but i want the open driver if my 3d is gonna work16:01
Quintasansithlord48: 3D is NOT working for you when you are using FGLRX?16:01
sithlord48no everything is working fine w/ fglrx16:02
Quintasansithlord48: if you want to fix the plymouth you can try this -> sithlord48: if you are running fglrx now -> http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml16:02
Quintasansithlord48: though I can't guarantee it will work16:03
sithlord48after installed the os on that first boot i had working 3d accel , i restarted after installing a few programs none related to xorg or video drivers. after the system came back up i had no 3d accel and the hw wizard told me i should install a "restricted driver"16:03
sithlord48i would like to know what happened to the working 3d accel after the first reboot16:04
sithlord48i guess i will try the plymouth fix, anyway since its all ulgy. im just annoyed that the glx and 3d worked w/ the opendriver for 1 time and not another.. (perhaps its a bug in that drver too)16:10
DarkwingDuckgrrrr... I'm really sick of the ram drain from Firefox16:24

ofirkRiddell: hey :D19:18
ofirkRiddell: the release notes for Lucid points to http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/10.04/ for iso download19:19
ofirkRiddell: why not point to the download page, where more download options and some explanations are available?19:20

macoRiddell: can you change the kubuntu.org header to have the new logo?20:01
Riddellmaco: no that needs sysadmins to change the theme which they should be doing next week anyway for ofirk's new theme20:02
macodoes ofirk's new theme have the new logo?20:02
Riddellyes20:03
ghostcubemeeeeh jackd still not in main ;(20:18

apparleis there any software center for kubuntu/KDE... or is one being developed?22:15
apparleanyone here22:19
ulyssesYou can install the software-center package too22:20
apparleulysses: you mean the existing on for ubuntu?22:23
ulyssesyes22:23
apacheloggero/22:24
apacheloggerQuintasan: sounds about right ^^22:24
apparleSo basically if I am thinking of making a software center for project for SoK it would not be creating which already exists22:25
* apachelogger imagines that difficult in a KDE context22:26
apparleapachelogger: didn't understand22:27
apacheloggerapparle: how do you plan to make this work across all distros?22:27
apparleapachelogger: basically the app will call kpackagekit which is there on all distros22:28
apacheloggerthat is a false assumption22:28
apacheloggerpackagkit does somewhat work on fedora and ubuntu/debian22:28
apacheloggerbut that is about it22:28
apacheloggeralso some distros resent the concept of pk22:28
apacheloggerso IMHO you'd need a generic abstraction ontop of all the packaging mess, which is something I wanted to do for age ^^22:29
apacheloggerthe problem is, when making software for KDE you must not make assumptions about what is there or not, from a KDE pov the only thing that is there is KDE + its deps22:30
Sputfor some distros, pk isn't nearly sufficient too :)22:30
apacheloggertechnically you shouldnt even consider distro integration for starters22:31
apacheloggerSput: which is probably why they do not like it ;)22:31
Sputapachelogger: yep :)22:31
apparleso... I think targetting Kubuntu would be good enough... but at least it would be a start22:31
apacheloggerapparle: well, it is Season of KDE, not Season of Kubuntu :/22:32
apacheloggerproposing it to be kubuntu-only will render the likelyhood of getting accepted towards 022:32
apachelogger</personal opinion>22:33
apparleapachelogger: would start off with kpackagekit... and then with time it can include support for various distros package managers22:33
apparleand what happened to kgrupeditor....22:33
apparleis there an app for grub222:34
* ulysses uses GRUB legacy22:34
apparleI could do that for project22:34
apparlekgrubeditor222:35
apacheloggerapparle: I do not think that is a good approach... that way you do not only bind it to a very specific package management software but only one UI version of it22:36
apacheloggerapparle: if I were you I would propose to sort the underlying mess first ... i.e. create a backend-agnostic KDE API for package management interactions22:37
apacheloggerkind of what KAuth is for authentication22:37
apparleohh22:37
apparleapachelogger: but as you know I don't have any damn experience in development22:37
apacheloggerthat would not only allow you to create a software center that is truely indepedent of a backend, but also solve a whole bunch of other problems22:37
apacheloggerkey word: package splitting22:37
apacheloggerapparle: I do not know the specific requirements towards a SoK proposal, but maybe you could just do the theoretical stuff ;)22:38
apacheloggerapparle: I would bring this up in #kde-devel and ask for some opinions22:40
apacheloggerbut from where I am standing, only draftig up a design for such a system would be worth a lot22:41
apparleapachelogger: I don't mind working on somepart of it22:41
apparleapachelogger:  you are talking about KDE api for package management or the whole software center stuff?22:42
apacheloggerapparle: former22:42
apparleno problem.... coz later would be very simple based on the former22:44
apacheloggerexactly22:44
apacheloggerwell22:44
apacheloggerlet's say "easier" ... a software center itself is enough a complex piece of software IMHO22:45
apparleapachelogger: :D22:46
apparleapachelogger: its just that all the ideas I am coming up with are way above my level22:46
apparleis there any kgrubeditor for grub222:47
apparleapachelogger: you started stuff at kde-devel22:47
* apachelogger thinks that most ideas can be reduced by going away from thinking about end-user ready products :)22:47
apparleapachelogger: :D22:48
apparleI would like to work on that api thing.... but I don't know whom to approach... it will need a mentor for starters.....22:48
apparleapachelogger: and I would need a lot of mentoring :D22:49
apparleapachelogger: you there?22:54
apacheloggerapparle: just post to the kde-devel mailing list22:55
apparleapachelogger: oh... i thought you were on #kde-devel22:56
apparleapachelogger: as for the kgrubeditor you know anyone working on it for grub222:56
apacheloggerno idea22:57
apparleapachelogger: tell me if anything happens.... I am not always in kubuntu-devel but am usually in kubuntu (I am yet to become a developer :))23:05
