Riddellooh debfx has access to pkg-kde-qt debian archive, his power grows..00:00
debfxwhy do you know that before I do? :D00:03
debfxyou seem to have access to some kind of spying network ;)00:03
Riddellspys everywhere00:04
JontheEchidnabtw, there's going to be a small transition needed for the rdepends of libkipi, libkdcraw and libksane after the kdegraphics merge gets through new00:04
Riddellis that a hint?00:06
JontheEchidnanaw, just a heads-up00:06

rgreeningRiddell: CD Audio in general appears broken. Kaffiene, Dragon and Amarok all fail to play Audio CD's. Well, Kaffiene plays the first song and I cannot skip to any other songs.04:58
rgreeningRiddell: kscd doesn't work either05:28
rgreeningonly vlc works, which doesn't use the KDE backends (iirc)05:29
rgreeningRiddell: looks to be a bug with KDE looking for /dev/cdrom regardless of how Audio CD is configured in system settings. On my system my cdrom shows up as /dev/cdrom4 -> /dev/sr0. Seems it only works if I symlink /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0. This is bad. Guess 1) udev rules needs a fix and 2) KDE need some fixing to be not so restrictive? 05:45

ofirkRiddell: anything new with the sysadmins?08:24
Riddellofirk: nothing from the sysadmins :(10:08
valoriemore on the CD playing phenomenon: I've using the VLC backend10:21
valoriehaven't tried vlc by itself, though10:21
valoriehmmm, works10:27
RiddellI expect /dev/cdrom stopped being useful ages ago but solid is behind on these things10:28
valorieso can I report to the Amarok users complaining about this that it's a KDE bug which will be fixed?10:29
Riddellvalorie: I'm just guessing, it depends where Amarok gets "/dev/cdrom" from, but there's probably some new udevy interface that gives it the right answer which isn't being used10:43
valoriebut if: [20:58] <rgreening> Riddell: CD Audio in general appears broken. Kaffiene, Dragon and Amarok all fail to play Audio CD's. Well, Kaffiene plays the first song and I cannot skip to any other songs.10:48
Riddellso whatever is going wrong, it's happening in other apps too :)10:49
valorieright10:49
valoriebut if amarok fixes that, what happens with the others?10:49
valorieI know that few people play CDs on their computers10:49
valoriebut some do10:49
Riddellwe'd need to find out what the correct low level method of finding out where your audio cd drive is these days, what's the correct layer for that to be exposed in KDE (solid?) and then whether the applications use that or not10:50
Riddelland it may well involve porting solid away from hal which is no small task10:50
valorietoo bad you aren't at the multimedia sprint this weekend.....10:50
Riddellwell I don't know where to start beyond that list10:53
valorieunfortunately, most of the Amarok devels who usually are here, are preparing for or enroute10:55
valorieI might bundle up this discussion and send it along to the devel list, though10:55
Riddellfeel free but remember it's just the ramblings of an il-informed distro packager :)10:56
valorieyou've got a clue, though10:57

debfxTonio_: why does rekonq depend on kdebase-bin?11:38
Riddelldebfx: it might need /usr/bin/kbookmarkmerger ?11:39
Riddellalthough that might be obsolete11:39
Riddellwe do need to split out kfmclient from konqueror11:40

rgreeningagateau: can you test something for me? I have an issue with Audio CD's and was wondering if you could replicate it on your system (you run KDE trunk without Kubuntu patches right?).13:20
agateaurgreening: I run both13:27
agateaurgreening: what do you want me to test?13:27
txwikingerIs launchpad down?13:28
rgreeningagateau: cool. Hers the issue. I cannot play audio cds unless the cd rom device is /dev/cdrom. If I have a second device I attempt to play from (i.e. udev creates a rule to make /dev/cdrom1), KDE will not play from /de/cdrom113:28
rgreening/dev/cdrom1 that is13:28
rgreeningso, if you look in /etc/udev/rules.d, there is a file for generating these symlinks. 70-persistent-cd.rules13:29
agateauok13:30
rgreeningif you manually edit this so that your CD rom device uses /dev/cdrom1 instead of /dev/cdrom, then Amarok, kscd, kaffeine will not be able to play audio cds (at least on my system).13:30
rgreeningagateau: so, I need to verify if this happens only on Kubuntu or upstream KDE trunk as well.13:30
agateauok I need to rebuild one of those and fetch an audio CD then13:31
rgreeningyou should be able to edit that file and insert a audio cd13:31
rgreeningya13:31
rgreeningthanks13:31
rgreeningIm thinking this is KDE specific and somewhere its hardcoded to use /dev/cdrom which it shouldn't13:32
agateauI am updating my copy of kdemultimedia13:34
agateauit's going to take a while, it's been a long time13:34
JontheEchidnathese places are suspicious: http://paste.ubuntu.com/436752/13:35
JontheEchidnayeah, the CD System Settings module is set to /dev/cdrom by default13:35
JontheEchidnargreening: What happens if you uncheck the "specify CD device" checkbox in the Audio CD module in the advanced settings page?13:36
rgreeningJontheEchidna: haven't tried that (I do not believe)... perhaps. Is that Kubuntu default or upstream KDE to have and use that?13:37
JontheEchidnargreening: KDE default, according to the sauce13:38
agateaurgreening: building13:39
rgreeningJontheEchidna: ok, if that works then, we should update default settings to disable that under KDE perhaps or uncheck (which may be worse than disable/hide)13:39
ghostcubehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntini  o.O we got a cocktail ?13:40
rgreeningJontheEchidna: doesn't seem to work either way (at least for me). JontheEchidna can you try as well?13:48
JontheEchidnaI lack the physical medium for testing at the moment :(13:48
rgreeningok13:48
rgreeningI gotta rbt... brb13:48
agateaurgreening: got kscd to run, now testing your change13:48
rgreeningagateau: ok13:49
ScottKJontheEchidna: juliank (on #ubuntu-devel) is looking at getting Jockey into Debian.  You might want to volunteer to be the KDE person that helps ...13:49
agateaurgreening: doesn't work anymore13:51
rgreeningagateau: yeah. so, this is with upstream KDE?13:51
agateaurgreening: yes13:51
rgreeningso, KDE seems to require/depend on the Audio CD being the first configued device /dev/cdrom. That's bad13:52
* ScottK thinks it's bad that rgreening broke agateau's system when agateau is supposed to be busy coding cool stuff for us.13:54
* rgreening only broke audio cd playing, which would have been a distraction only13:56
rgreening:)13:56
* Dyrcona wonders that people still play CDs on their computers. Doesn't everyone just rip them?13:56
agateauScottK: I fixed it :)13:59
rgreeningDyrcona: not if you are making/testing an audio CD for a stereo system which only plays audio CDs13:59
agateauDyrcona: even to rip them, you need a correct device name13:59
rgreeningwhich kind of requires a working cd audio13:59
* Dyrcona generally rips with cdda2wav so doesn't worry much about it in KDE.14:00
ScottKHeresy14:00
* rgreening calls out the lynch mob14:02
Dyrcona:)14:03
rgreeningagateau, JontheEchidna: running amarok from cmdline and with "Specify CD Device" unchecked, amarok still does this... 14:07
rgreeningChecking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...14:07
rgreening        Could not stat /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory14:07
rgreeninggrr14:07
rgreeningagateau, JontheEchidna: and checking the box again but setting it to the correct /dev/cdrom1, amarok still spits out looking for /dev/cdrom14:09
JontheEchidnargreening: does the audiocd:/ kio slave work after messing with those settings? If anything, that ioslave should follow them14:09
rgreeninglet me check14:09
rgreeningnope, its crashing for me14:12
agateaurgreening: you were saying something before my box crashed (for the 3rd time today!)14:12
agateaurgreening: can you say it again?14:12
rgreeningagateau: seems audio library in KDE backend hard codes /dev/cdrom and deviating breaks audiocd:/ (at least for me). can you check that too?14:13
agateaucan do14:13
agateaurgreening: but you will have to wait a bit, I just decided to rip the cd I used to test :)14:14
rgreeninglol14:14
rgreeningnp14:14
rgreeningok, so kioslave audiocd is completely crashing here14:18
rgreeninggrr14:18
shtylmanwhy is kde so slow to start ... 14:26
shtylmanhow did this happen14:26
agateaurgreening: audiocd:/ works fine here14:30
agateaurgreening: trying with cdrom1 now14:30
rgreeningk14:30
rgreeningmaybe my cd is bad. I'll get another14:30
rgreeningkioslave shouldn't be crashing for me14:30
rgreeningbrb14:30
agateaurgreening: works with cdrom1 as well14:33
rgreeningagateau: and does amarok work?14:39
ScottKshtylman: It happened because you didn't fix it.14:40
* agateau starts amarok14:40
agateaurgreening: how does one play a cd with Amarok?14:42
rgreeningamarok --cdplay is supposed to work from cmdline14:42
agateaurgreening: does not seem to work14:43
* agateau goes back to "cdrom"14:43
rgreeningyeah... my original cd was bad, and cause kioslave to crash. I can make it all work if /dev/cdrom... testing /dev/cdrom1 again...14:44
shtylman;(14:44
ScottKshtylman: No guilt or anything, of course.14:45
shtylmanheh14:45
agateaurgreening: amarok from master does not play cd here14:55
agateaurgreening: neither from cdrom nor from cdrom114:55
rgreeningok, so not a distro problem necessarily...14:57
rgreeningunless it's a udev/hal issue14:57
rgreeningwhich doesn't seem to be the case as audioslave works...14:57

rgreeningRiddell: apparantly KDE Multimedia / Amarok / Kaffeine do not like when CD-ROM is not /dev/cdrom. This can happen with udev and device persistance and generating /dev/cdrom[0-9] as additional devices. So, for me, my netbook has used several divverent external CD-ROMS, and each a different number. the only one that plays audio CD's is the original at /dev/cdrom. This seems an upstream issue, yes? Or is it ours and how we use udev?18:37
rgreeningRiddell: setting the device in system settings does not fix it either.18:38
jjesse-netbookrgreening: i can +1 that as wel18:39
jjesse-netbookdidnt know the reason but my netbook has the same issue18:39
rgreeningjjesse-netbook: you need to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules and make the CD ROM you are using generate /dev/cdrom and not /dev/cdrom1 for example.18:40
jjesse-netbookrgreening: hrmm ok18:40
rgreeningthat was the only fix that fully works for me18:40
rgreeningthat file is generated and made persistant for each new device you attach. its ok and sane to edit this file18:41
rgreeningits a local file for local rules18:41
jjesse-netbookthat file is empty, is it because i dont have a cdrom attached right now?18:41
rgreeningno. it should have something in it if you have attached a CDROM18:42
jjesse-netbookhrmm this is a fresh install so maybe not this royund yet18:45
rgreeningjjesse-netbook: ya. once you attach, it will populate it18:46
rgreeningRiddell: the audiocd:/ slave seems to work just fine regardless, as it searches all possible devices looking for compatible CD ROM's. 18:47
Tm_Trgreening: audiocd slave is one of those awesome things that make KDE rock (:18:48

rgreeningRiddell: in fact audiocd:/ does not care about the Audiocd IO Slave setting being correct in system-settings or not. I set it to bogus and it still works. 18:54
