JontheEchidnaI created a new image exactly the same size as what I selected from the source image, but gimp #@@!'s it up00:16
JontheEchidnaso, all wiki images replaced except for the maverick-netbook.png/wee variant and the ubiquity images, for which I am downloading the latest CD image00:26
JontheEchidnak-d-s changing default font in approval queue, going to to gtk2-engines-qtcurve00:31
JontheEchidnaerm, please reject k-d-s. It only affected the General font, and the rest of the non-monowidth fonts are sans serif00:35
JontheEchidnaScottK, Riddell^00:35
JontheEchidnagtk2-engines-qtcurve should be good, though00:45
lex79JontheEchidna: did you change something in gtk2-engines-qtcurve?01:03
JontheEchidnalex79: patched the kdeglobals01:03
lex79just curiosity01:03
lex79oh neat01:04
lex79if you can also update the bzr branch since we can't sync anymore the package now...01:05
lex79why kpackagekit checks update weekly and not daily?01:39
lex79from the kubuntu feedback page01:40
macoRiddell: i think debfx was just saying that to make qtcurve do the right thing, we set the font in its package instead of using the modifications i did in k-d-s01:47
jjesse-netbookthis is interesting doing a full upgrade with muon and not getting a process indicator, so do i just wait ?01:48
danttilex79: does it check at all? afaik there are patches disabling it..02:44
SputRiddell: don't worry, I a) know exactly that Gentoo is superior, b) know that I can install a full system within a day with spending like 5 minutes at the computer, and c) know that I save soooo much time because updates don't break and configuration is much more easier because I don't need to use random GUI tools, and d) don't really care what others use, as I'm fully aware of me being a crazy person that's incompatible to binary distros :)02:49
nigelblol02:50
SputI'm certainly not gonna leave because of some bashing :)03:02
lex79dantti: kpk here in my installation checks update weekly and it's confirmed by the last comment there: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/MaverickMeerkat/RC/Kubuntu/Feedback03:04
danttilex79: funny the page says he was using KPackageKit since '06 but I started to write in in 2008 :P03:07
danttis/in/it03:07
lex79that is another comment I think from another user03:08
lex79there's this patch btw kubuntu_06_no_automatic_updates.diff03:08
danttiwell anyway would be good to see what Riddell thinks about this, since the combo to select the updates interval is hidden by some patch03:09
lex79the combo to select the updates? it's not hidden here03:11
lex79http://imagebin.ca/view/cx0Kndw.html03:11
danttihmm I think they were hidden :P03:12
lex79:)03:13
danttiwell the default can be easily changed, but I guess Riddell would be better to answear that03:13
lex79ok03:13

ScottKJontheEchidna: I'm going to reject your k-d-s as requested.04:19
JontheEchidnaThanks04:20
ScottKJontheEchidna: You might also look at the amount of hinting.  Ubuntu, IIRC, went with Slight and there was pushback about doing more.04:20
ScottKNo problem.04:20
JontheEchidnapushback, as in slight being too much?04:21
JontheEchidnaor pushback about the hinting *not* being stronger?04:21
ScottKAbout not doing more.04:22
ScottKDiscussion is in Bug 62962204:23

ScottKqapt accepted, BTW.04:23
ScottKskrooge too04:23
ScottKJontheEchidna: Also they bumped to 11 point because 10 point is smaller in the Ubuntu font than in whatever it's replacing.04:26
ScottKJontheEchidna: Does gtk2-engines-qtcurve need to be rejected too?04:26
JontheEchidnaScottK: no, that's fine. It's actually what made me catch the k-d-s bug04:26
ScottKJontheEchidna: OK.  I'll let it sit until there's a new k-d-s to go with it.04:27
JontheEchidnaI'm afraid I let myself get distracted with FTBFS fixing ;-)04:27
ScottK;-)04:28
ScottKJontheEchidna: BTW, there's no need to wait for the reject before re-uploading.  The queue can hold more than one package of the same version in unapproved.  Just only one can ever make it in.04:28
JontheEchidnaaah, ok04:28
JontheEchidnaonce I finish up with ktoon I'll get back to k-d-s04:29
ScottKCool.04:30
ScottKBTW, chromium and KDE should be able to agree that it's the default browser in Maverick again.  FTA backported some stuff to make that possible today.04:32
JontheEchidnanice. I told it to stop asking me04:32
JontheEchidnaI, personally bumped my font settings up from 8 to 8.5 when I switched to the Ubuntu font04:36
JontheEchidnastray , in there04:36
JontheEchidnawe default to 9 point currently04:36
JontheEchidnaI think 9 looks fine: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/MaverickMeerkat/RC/Kubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=view04:38
JontheEchidnahmm, that link probably won't work04:39
JontheEchidnahttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/MaverickMeerkat/RC/Kubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=kpk4.png04:39
JontheEchidnabut we can bump things up by one if there is a need04:39
JontheEchidnaIf we make this the last upload of k-d-s, it'll be k-d-s 1:10.10ubuntu1004:39
JontheEchidnaturns out we're already using medium hinting04:49

lucidfoxWell10:37
lucidfoxLast I tried, KWord was slow and had eye-burning font rendering10:38
Riddellbut now that it defaults to the Ubuntu font it'll be nice and smooth10:40
lucidfoxIs that sarcasm?10:42
lucidfoxI mean on the page, actually. The documents I tried to edit used Verdana. The fonts were much crisper in AbiWord and OOo10:42
lucidfoxit seems to me that KWord just ignores the full hinting setting, and always did since early 2.0 beta10:43
apacheloggerRiddell: http://people.ubuntu.com/~apachelogger/screencasts/phonon+proper-qgraphicitem.ogv check this out10:46
apacheloggerohw it is so beautiful and nice and and omg10:46
apacheloggerdebfx: kApp->setGraphicsSystem("native");10:47
apacheloggerdebfx: whereever kapp gets constructed10:47
apacheloggerI did not find out where also I found ooo code scary so I did not bother to look closer10:47
apacheloggerif you cannot find where the kapp comes from then just do that before every K* function does things10:48
apacheloggeralso FTR: that is not even a workaround but the proper way to do it, because shtylman told me ooo hands the KDE integration foo a widget to paint on, which is of course dependent on X11 and hence native paintaing *must* be enforced globally via setGraphicsSystem10:49
debfxapachelogger: I was thinking about a workaround that doesn't involve recompiling OO.o :)10:50
apacheloggeralso FTR: one can manually swap the system on a per-painter basis, so say only a minor part of your software requires X11 foo and the painting is reasonable accessable one can (or maybe even should) just swap the graphicsengine for that particular painter10:50
apacheloggeralso FTR: graphicssystem == graphicsengine (when one browses the painting docu usually they talk about the engine, which is synonymous to the system)10:51
debfxI guess setting QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native in /usr/bin/ooffice should fix it10:51
apacheloggerdebfx: yep10:51
apacheloggerjust wanted to say that10:51
apacheloggerhowever, that really is a workaround ;)10:51
Riddellapachelogger: ooh pretty10:52
apacheloggerRiddell: that is native painted now, rather than the thing I did the other day (which asked Phonon::VideoWidget to do the painting)10:54
apacheloggeralso FTR again: Phonon::Experimental contains about all the stuff that currently sets QtMultimediaKit apart from phonon so once more I am  not sure why the kit is even existing10:55
apachelogger(most importantly QtMultimediaKit does have a graphicsitem already ;))10:55
Riddellnobody outside Brisbane knows that10:58
howlymowlyhi poeple.. shor question abot maverick: my plasama effects right now are turned off by default... my default settings do not matter in this case. I always have to turn them on manually (using the keaboard shortcut for example) is this supposed to be like this?11:05

ScottKRiddell: Would you mind doing Bug #624512 so I can say it's done when we get to the MOTU section of the release meeting.16:19
ubottuLaunchpad bug 624512 in mozc (Ubuntu Maverick) "Please move mozc from Universe to Multiverse" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/62451216:19
markeydebfx: pong. you asked about news regarding applet sizes? in 2.3.2 I applied a (very hacky) patch shortly before tagging that gets around the issue16:36
markeycalling resize() on the MainWindow right after startup16:36
markeyseems to work for most people16:36
markeyit would however be nice to have this solved for real16:36
markeythe bug is in Plasma and/or Qt16:36
markeynoone knows...16:36
danttiRiddell: I generated the patch here, but as I renamed some .png files they do not appear in the patch, isn't it better just to resync? since the patch would be the same thing?16:36
danttiI can send you the patch so that you see what changed, mostly bug fixes and a few speedy improvements16:37
debfxmarkey: it doesn't work for shadeslayer and me16:37
markeydebfx: which KDE and Qt version?16:37
debfxmarkey: 4.5.1 and 4.7.016:38
markeyinteresting16:38
markeyI have the same setup16:38
debfxdoes it work for you on maverick?16:38
markeyI only heard about issues with KDE trunk now16:38
markeyyes, it does16:38
markeybut I suspect this is timing sensitive. my patch simple resizes 1500ms after Amarok is shown16:38
RiddellScottK: but I should be paying attention to the meeting not processing bugs!16:38
markeyI guess that time could be too short in some situations16:39
debfxmaybe it's a problem if the window is still hidden?16:39
ScottKRiddell: I know you're a king of multi-tasking16:39
markeydebfx: aaah, absolutely. that could very well render the patch useless16:39
markeyI never thought of this16:39
markeybut we don't have any other solutions anyway... 16:40
debfxcalling resize when the window is first shown might do the trick16:41
markeydebfx: Plasma in KDE 4.5 brought so many regressions for us, it's not even funny16:41
markeywe had to deal with 4 different bugs16:41
markeydebfx: that might work, if you can figure out when it is actually rendered on the screen, for real16:41
markeypolish() doesn't suffice16:41
markeymaybe waiting for a showEvent()16:42
markeyor similar16:42
markeydebfx: my patch is very small, it's in App::resizeMainWindow()16:42
RiddellScottK: done16:42
markeyif you look at the code, you'll see instantly how it works16:42
ScottKRiddell: Thanks.16:42
shadeslayermarkey: its pretty randomn16:44
markeyshadeslayer: this sucks :(16:44
shadeslayerit works when you start amarok, but then when you restore it, it from systray it sometimes doesnt show it properly 16:44
markeyI spent like 10 hours working around all those Plasma bugs16:45
markeyat this point, I'd rather switch to Qt Quick at some point16:45
debfxshadeslayer: for me it only happens when amarok is started hidden to tray16:45
shadeslayerdebfx: how does one do that?16:45
debfxshadeslayer: close amarok when it's hidden16:46
debfxit remebers the hidden/shown state16:46
RiddellScottK: I'm a bit short of things to say in the meeting, we don't have enough problems this release, anything I should say?16:47
ScottKRiddell: Wax poetic about the font.16:47
shadeslayeroh yus16:47
shadeslayermarkey:  debfx: confirmed : http://imgur.com/bSDjD16:47
ScottKKDM still crashing on logout for me, but workaround in a proposed release note16:47
markeyshadeslayer: you started it hidden in the tray?16:48
shadeslayermarkey: yes16:48
markeyyeah, that was to be expected16:48
markeythe way my patch works16:48
markeyI could try to make an improved version, but not tonight16:48
markeycould we get it into maverick still, say, on Monday?16:48
markeyalso, for crying out loud, it would be nice to get some help from the Plasma folks... 16:49
ScottKRiddell: The X/KDM thing is Bug 65129416:50

shadeslayermarkey: #plasma is _that_ way :P16:50
ScottKI didn't milestone it since I knew it wouldn't be fixed.16:50
shadeslayermarkey: ive just started getting my hands dirty with plasma, simple stuff for now :)16:51
markeyshadeslayer: hehe, they focus on the KDE Plasma desktop. Amarok's use case is rare, there are hardly any apps that usee LibPlasma 16:52
markeyso it gets little testing16:52
shadeslayermarkey: use something else then... why use something that breaks stuff :(16:52
markeylol16:52
markeyas I said, I want to experiment with Qt Quick. but we can'T depend on Qt 4.7 just yet :)16:53
shadeslayerah16:53
shadeslayermarkey: maybe it needs another  App::resizeMainWindow() somewhere?16:54
ScottKmarkey: Why not?  It's been released for a week now hasn't it?  It's practically obsolete.16:54
shadeslayerlol16:54
markeyhaha16:55
markeyshadeslayer: I think the patch should work like this: detect when Amarok is actually _shown_ (which is not so easy), and then trigger the resize()16:55
shadeslayerhmm16:56
markeyit's the hackiest patch ever:16:56
markey    m_mainWindow->resize( m_mainWindow->width(), m_mainWindow->height() - 1 );16:56
markey    m_mainWindow->resize( m_mainWindow->width(), m_mainWindow->height() + 1 );16:56

shadeslayerScottK: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdelibs/4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu1 :: specifically17:05
ScottKshadeslayer: control.in should rebuild control if it's changed when you build the source package, IIRC.17:05
ScottKI may have in fact just hand edited them both to be sure.  I don't recall.17:06
shadeslayerScottK: hmm... right now the diff between control and control.in is http://paste.ubuntu.com/503992/ , i dont think it needs any work, can you tell me if im right?17:07

shadeslayerfrom debian package17:28
ScottKAs long as they aren't new, I wouldn't worry about it.  That's a VERY old package.17:29
shadeslayerhmm... yeah i noticed :(17:29
shadeslayerbut since the changelog doesnt mention them...17:30
ScottKI'm reasonabyl sure 19 isn't needed, but I really wouldn't change more than I have to in that package.17:31
JontheEchidnaif I had to guess, I'd think that the package would be almost as old as debian itself17:32
shadeslayerhehe ...17:32
shadeslayerthen theres 68_support_khelpcenter4.diff17:33
