valorieit's only 1/3 done10:58
valoriebleah10:58
valorieUSB is soooo slow10:58
freglis it expected that I get this when running apt-get update on merverick? Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.bz2  Hash Sum mismatch12:53
ScottKfregl: not generally, but it sometimes comes up as a transient.13:20
ScottKIf it didn't fix its self in several minutes, then it's potentially concerning.13:20
freglok, I expect it will be more stable after the release13:20
freglI commented out th source lines for now13:20
ScottKYes.13:20
freglthe installation was actually quite pleasing :)13:21
freglkpackagekit didn't like policykit (whichever version that is) much - I could not edit any sources in there13:21
freglit showed a dialog which immediately disappeared again13:22
Riddellfregl: what happens when you start software-properties-kde from the command line?13:44
freglRiddell: as normal user I get a hint: "Please run ... with administrative rights. ... kdesudo."13:46
freglI did add a new user to this machine - what group do I need to be in for this?13:46
ScottKfregl: admin13:46
freglI added the user to all the groups that the originally created user is in. In fact I'll try with the first user.13:46
freglgroups says I'm in admin13:47
ScottKNot sure then.13:47
freglhum, logout seems to not work on my test lappy13:49
freglit returns to shell13:50
fregloh, in var/log/messages I got a segfault in packagekitd - error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so13:51
Riddelllogout not working suggests kdm is crashing13:53
Riddellwhich i think is a problem ScottK has been having13:53
ScottKRiddell: The one I've been having at least appears to be an X crash.  It could be KDM though.13:54
freglok, with the user that was originally created packagekit works13:54
freglsince that user was a demo user, I created a second account for myself... I should have done it the other way around13:55
freglI'll compare groups now13:55
ScottKRiddell: If the work around in bug 651294 solves your crash then I'd agree they are likely the same.13:55
ubottuLaunchpad bug 651294 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "X crash on KDM logout (still - yes, really)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65129413:55
freglyes, I think it is an intel card13:56
freglI just got the machine13:56
freglRiddell: ScottK: yes, the workaround from 65129 solves my issue with kdm14:02
ScottKOK.14:02
ScottKIIRC that's an indication to blame X, not KDM, but I wouldn't claim to be an expert.14:02
freglok, my kpackagekit trouble is also solved: I created the user with an empty default group, no clue why kuser allows me to do that ?!? adding a proper group  as primary group helped14:06
freglhm, the select user dialog becomes pretty annoying after a while ;) I whish it would remember my last choice - is that in kde upstream?14:09
Riddellfregl: are you sure it was kuser?  we ship with userconfig by default14:10
freglRiddell: oh, I'm clearly not up to date, is that custom kubuntu?14:12
freglhum, the software selection in kpackagekit is awesome-double-plus-great. but why does it show the list of software in disabled font color?14:13
Riddellfregl: it's pykde author/kubuntu and should replace kuser upstream in everyone's humble opinion but it hasn't happened 14:13
freglah, installed stuff gets proper black font...14:13
freglRiddell: ok, where do I file a bug about it?14:14
freglit was nice to use, but creating a user without group is not so great ;)14:14
Riddellfregl: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/userconfig/+filebug  or poke yuriy_work 14:14
Riddellor both14:14

yuriy_workoh i see it15:53
yuriy_workthanks15:53
freglit was just that it allowed me to creat a user with no group15:53
freglthanks for looking at it :)15:53
yuriy_workunfortunately i haven't gotten around to the bugs or any Kubuntu work in about a year :(15:54

Riddelldev001: there's your ansewr17:11
Riddelldev001: there's your answer17:11
dev001Riddell: sry, what?17:13
Riddellif 4.5.2 is only in a PPA then the answer must be 4.5.117:14
dev001Riddell: I have no idea what decisions if any have been made about official release, as it's not out yet.  Hence, my question -- and my understanding "at the moment".17:15
Riddellhmm, maybe I was too impolite17:24
ulysses217:51
ulysses(sorry)17:51
shadeslayerRiddell: when are the sessions finalized? any dates?17:52
shadeslayerlike ... when do we have a definitive schedule17:53
jussishadeslayer: you dont, the schedule is fluid, it changes everyday18:18
shadeslayerjussi: uhh... isnt that counter-productive?18:18
shadeslayerwe should have one schedule and stick to it18:18
jussishadeslayer: not really, things come up...18:18
jussishadeslayer: it works pretty well18:18
shadeslayerhmm18:19
jussishadeslayer: the schedule is always up on the monitors, so you never lose track18:19
shadeslayerah ok18:19
jussiand there are monitors every where18:19
shadeslayerbut then theres a chance of missing a session ;(18:19
shadeslayer;)18:19
shadeslayerjussi: oh and i suppose we have wifi right :P18:19
jussishadeslayer: well not really, as long as you look at the monitor before every session.18:20
jussishadeslayer: of course18:20
shadeslayerseems rekonq is moving to git.kde.org18:20
shadeslayeryayy18:20
shadeslayerjussi: kewl18:20
jussishadeslayer: sometimes you have to choose, because 2 you want to go to are at the same time18:20
shadeslayeraww18:20
jussibut if there is a conflict and you really need to be in both, they can sometimes move them so it works, hence fluid schedule18:21
shadeslayerhmm18:21
shadeslayerjussi: how will you be making calls and stuff from US?18:22
jussishadeslayer: skype18:22
shadeslayerohk18:22
