nixternalhola04:54
Adri2000hi09:39
Adri2000I've got a question about the kubuntu-default-settings package; it's possible that the answer is obvious, but I can't find it :) how does /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/gtk2-engines-qtcurve.rc.sh end up in ~/.kde/env/ ?09:41
RiddellAdri2000: we patch /usr/bin/startkde to copy it over09:44
Riddellnot terribly elegant, but well, it's gtk09:45
Adri2000eheh :p so it's there, ok, thanks!09:47
Riddellagateau: hmm still getting some funny behaviour with menu widget10:53
RiddellI added it three times by accident and one of them picked up the menu ok10:53
Riddellthen I removed two of them and the remaining one didn't pick up the menu, just stayed with window menu10:53
agateauRiddell: mmm, I haven't tested that10:54
Riddellthen I removed that and added another one and it picks up the menu titles but not the menu entries10:54
agateauIs it the menubar of a gtk app?10:54
Riddellnope10:55
agateauwhich app is it?10:55
Riddelldolphin, konsole, whatever10:57
Riddelllogged out and in again now and it's working fine10:57
Riddellquite a bit of delay and flicker changing applications10:57
agateauyes, the flicker is a known bug10:58

RiddellI expect so11:04
Riddellnot in KDE though11:04
apacheloggerwell then11:08
* apachelogger created 7k SLOC yesterday until this morning around 5 and yet it was not enough11:08
Riddellagateau: what is /src/3rdparty/dbusmenu-qt/update.sh ?11:18
Riddellit seems to have appeared during the build process11:18
agateauRiddell: a simple script to help me synchronise the copy of dbusmenu-qt11:18
Riddellah I think I failed to do quilt add, silly me11:19
Riddellagateau: menu bar doesn't adapt too well if I shrink the height of the panel11:36
ghostcubeRiddell: so only in gnome? hmm ok this would result in bad work for the compizianers :)11:55

RiddellJontheEchidna, ScottK: added a patch to bug 58649712:22
ubottuLaunchpad bug 586497 in unattended-upgrades (Ubuntu Maverick) "kpackagekit install security update in automatic mode without authorization" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/58649712:22
Riddellalso packagekit and kpackagekit 0.6 uploaded12:22
ScottKCool.12:22
ScottK586497 will be a little hard to test.12:23
JontheEchidnaA bit time-consuming, maybe, but all you have to do is turn on a stock install and watch12:23
JontheEchidna...yeah, hard to test :)12:24
ScottKThe trick will be noticing if something got installed when you weren't looking.12:29
ScottKThe pass case is relatively easy to detect.12:30
Riddellyou'd need to watch out on the security notifications to see what's new12:30

RiddellQuintasan: I finally gor round to testing your update to kubuntu_02_microblog_default_configuration.diff and it works13:12
Riddellthanks very much13:12
RiddellNightrose: you understand this microblogging stuff, do you know why this guy spams me each week? http://identi.ca/hunleyd13:24
NightroseRiddell: yes13:25
Nightrosebecause he doesn't understand the concept of follow friday13:25
dpmRiddell, what's the documentation system in KDE or Qt? In GNOME/gtk there is gnome-doc-utils, which defines the layout where docs go, the tools used to build translations, etc. I'm just wondering what's the equivalent for KDE/Qt13:25
Nightrosefollow friday is meant to show cool other people to follow13:25
Nightrosebut it makes close to zero sense to post the same people every time13:26
Nightrosei've been pondering giving him a hint for a while tbh13:26
QuintasanRiddell: awesome13:41
ScottKRiddell: I fixed 586497 to point at kpackagekit.13:48
QuintasanRiddell: When we are supposed to work on Kolab support in Kontact?13:52
RiddellScottK: what's the secret?14:08
ScottKRiddell: You have to open up one of the release tasks and edit it there.14:08
RiddellQuintasan|Szel: we're not ment to work on Kolab support in Kontact, upstream is.  Kolab Sys are ment to send packages at some point to help with packaging14:09
ScottKIt will then automagically change them both.14:09
RiddellScottK: mm, ok14:09
ScottKTypical crap Launchpad design.14:09
Riddelldpm: kdoctools maybe?14:09
Riddellthat has stylesheets and whatnot for turning docbook into html14:10
dpmRiddell, ok, I'll look into that, thanks!14:10
Riddelldpm: I find the exact khelpcentre format a bit undocumented, it needs .desktop files in the right place to point to html or docbook files14:12
Riddelldpm: Robert Ancell was asking if KDE would take up Mallard and nixternal said it would probably be a nice idea but there's nobody upstream to do the work14:12
dpmright. The reason I'm asking is because I see that pkgbinarymangler supports the gnome-doc-utils layout to strip documentation translations and put them as-is into language packs. The idea was to save space on the LiveCd by installing only the documentation in the languages included there, rather than translated documentation for all languages. I just thought it would make sense to do the same for KDE/Qt apps, if there is a standard layout14:15
dpmpitti pointed me to http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/pkgbinarymangler/ubuntu/revision/35 for how it is done with apps following the gnome-doc-utils layout14:15
Riddelldpm: we already have docs split by language, they're in kde-l10n-xx and should get brought in by language-selector14:22
Riddelldpm: and given the problems we have with maintaining the pkgbinarymangler for application translations I'd be reluctant to make things more complex by making it to docs too14:22
ScottKRiddell: Kubuntu-docs could use this split, though.14:23
dpmRiddell, ah, that's true, I had completely forgotten about this. However, they are not split by language on kubuntu-docs14:23
dpmah, ScottK was quicker than me :)14:23
ScottKFortunately that's just one package, so the format is documented by the format of the package ...14:24
txwikingerDoes anybody here know how the tagging of e-mail in kmail works?15:48
a|wenScottK: no one got to it yet, so if you could have a look at sponsoring the new version of k3b that would be great; lp:~kubuntu-members/k3b/ubuntu17:02

ScottKThanks.17:40

shadeslayer_ScottK: anything left for me? :(17:42
ScottKshadeslayer_: I'm not sure.  Checking the Universe plasma-widgets to see if they are up to date is probably a good idea.17:43
shadeslayer_whee :)17:43
shadeslayer_ScottK: each of them has a package to themselves? 17:44
ScottKYes17:44
ScottKBut they are all named plasma-widget-*17:45
shadeslayer_ok...17:45
shadeslayer_ScottK: um... k3b is up for a merge in MoM17:47
shadeslayer_ignore?17:47
ScottKshadeslayer_: Interesting.17:47
ScottKNo.17:48
shadeslayer_Hmmm17:48
ScottKHave a look at what's in bzr and see what needs changing.17:48
shadeslayer_ill do konversation while im at it...17:48
ScottKI didn't upload yet.17:48
shadeslayer_sure :)17:48
shadeslayer_ScottK: We had a mail about RC right?17:49
shadeslayer_hmm debian has RC317:49
shadeslayer_ScottK: so i guess merge RC3 and then update to RC4?17:52
shadeslayer_ScottK: yum : http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ch01wD4r18:17
shadeslayerzomg.... konversation has a huge diff....18:26
shadeslayerreally really really really huge diff...18:26
ScottKWe already had the rc3 merge from Debian.  Their -2 is a change we already had, so the merge just affects debian/changelog18:29
* shadeslayer_ checks out some slides by maco18:35
shadeslayer_maco: the latest one is pretty good... 18:36
shadeslayerScottK: Question about meta kde,in ubuntu it recommends hal,do we need that in maverick or can i remove it from control file?18:39
shadeslayersince debian made put it in recommends instead18:40
macoshadeslayer: thanks18:40
shadeslayerum18:40
shadeslayerScottK: in ubuntu hal is a dep of meta kde...18:40
shadeslayermaco: yaw :)18:40
macoshadeslayer: are you jumping between two different computers?18:40
shadeslayermaco: nah.. this is my normal quassel window... the other account is on a core 18:41
shadeslayerhad the client open for a few mins to read the backlog :)18:41
ScottKshadeslayer: For meta-kde, just follow Debian.  We don't really maintain those packages in Kubuntu (they are Debian's KDE metapackages) except to change things that cause problems.18:41
ScottKIf someone wants to remove HAL and run KDE, they are welcome to try.18:41
shadeslayerScottK: thanks :)18:41
shadeslayerScottK: still... removing it from dep and making it a recommend is pretty serious imo18:42
ScottKNot really.  Recommends are installed by default, so someone would still need to make an effort to avoid it.18:43
shadeslayerah ok.. its suggests that dont get installed :)18:43
ScottKYes.18:44
lex79Riddell: plasma crashes with last libdbusmenu if you right click on the systray18:55

lex79ok18:59
shadeslayerlex79: no need to merge meta-kde from debian right? diff here ; http://paste.ubuntu.com/451701/19:04
shadeslayerits a pretty useless merge imo... doesnt add anything new afaik19:06
lex79we can do for 4.5 rc1 when we will need to bump kde-sc-dev-latest package19:07
shadeslayerno point of doing it now...19:08
neversfeldeevening19:10
lex79shadeslayer: no, since rc1 will be release 23rd19:11
lex79neversfelde: o/19:11

shadeslayernobody cares...19:24

Riddellshadeslayer: voila http://staging.www.kubuntu.org/#20:24
shadeslayeromg omg omg :)20:24

* shadeslayer pokes around new site20:25
shadeslayerit looks better than ubuntu.com :P20:25
shadeslayerRiddell: may i suggest something?20:26
shadeslayerRiddell: i would advise putting live chat above forums here : http://staging.www.kubuntu.org/community20:26
shadeslayerapart from that the site is pretty much awesome 20:28
shadeslayerRiddell: when is it going to be released ?20:29
ScottKIt would be nice if the page we linked to about professional support actually mentioned Kubuntu as a supported product.20:31
ScottKRiddell: Does Canonical still do Kubuntu support contracts?20:32
shadeslayerScottK: can you mark bug 595956 as wishlist?20:34

neversfeldeScottK: my english ist not as good as it should be, so I will not answer on the MOTU list because it is a sensible topic. In general I agreee with your opinion. 20:37
ScottKneversfelde: OK.  FYI, I think you mean sensitive, not sensible.20:38
ScottKThanks for letting me know.20:38
neversfeldeyes :)20:38
jussiScottK: I would assume so, as they support anything thats in main, no?20:41
ScottKjussi: Not exactly.  "Supported" as in provide security fixes yes.  "Supported" as in you can buy a support contract for that, not necessarily.20:41
ScottKAs an example, there's a raft of packages that are only in Main becuase Canonical uses them internally.20:42
jussiScottK: I was under the impressin if you bought a standard ubuntu support contract you got support for whats in main... but I could be wrong20:42
ScottKI don't think so, but I could be wrong too.20:42
Riddellshtylman: e-mail ofir with suggestions20:49
Riddellshadeslayer_: ^^ rather20:50
Riddellshadeslayer_: it'll be done when ofir says so I think20:50
RiddellScottK: yes Canonical supports Kubuntu20:50
Riddelljussi: no they don't support everything in main, only a subset e.g. apt-cache show konqueror says Supported: 18m for maverick20:51
jussioh20:52
jussiRiddell: how long are you planning on staying?20:52
jussialso, who is our web guy? I think we should have a link to the canonical store on the kubuntu.org website...20:53
Riddelljussi: just a night20:53
jussiRiddell: then back to tampere?20:54
Riddellyes20:54
