MiMeWhat is the minimum requirements to join the development team?10:01
persiaSo, an annoying bug was discovered for all preinstalled omap4 installs: specifically there is a "software channel" for the software centre enabled to connect to a special vendor PPA that expects universe to be enabled, but universe isn't enabled.10:59
persiaIs this bug likely to even be user-visible for Kubuntu?10:59
Riddellpersia: well no, we don't use Software Centre11:01
persiaRiddell, I didn't think so: just wanted to confirm.  Does KPK use software channels at all?11:08
Riddellit uses /usr/share/app-install/categories.xml11:16
Riddellnot sure if it uses any others like that11:16
persiaNo, that's sufficiently different that the Kubuntu images won't be affected.11:17
Riddellkpackagekit uses its own desktop.db file which is made from app-install-data11:17
persiaIf someone adds extra channels (like app-install-data-partner), do those show there as well?11:18
Riddellcor, nothing but good comments for Kubuntu on the Ubuntu 10.10 article on slashdot11:37

apacheloggerso11:40
apachelogger...11:40
apacheloggerat installation I ticked the box "install the stuff I need to play me mp3s"11:41
apacheloggernow I fire up rekonq11:41
apacheloggerand notification pops up to install stuff11:41
* nigelb hopes to have kubuntu maverick on laptop tonight :)11:41
apacheloggerI say install and it offers Video Encoding and MP3 Encoding11:41
apacheloggerand that my dear friends is why those big categories for missing stuff just don't work out11:42
persiaapachelogger, kubuntu-restricted-addons only has decoders, not encoders.  You may need to filter some of the autocodec searchers.11:42
apacheloggerthere is no search going on11:42
apacheloggerthe apps that require stuff call the kubuntu notification helper11:43
apachelogger*with* the thing they would like to have11:43
apacheloggerand the notification helper then puts all that foo into a category and recommends installing that category11:43
apacheloggerso rekonq supposedly wants flash -> asks notification helper -> helper looks up flash -> flash is in multimedia category -> helper asks user to install all the stuff that is in the multimedia category11:44
nigelbyuck11:44
apacheloggerin my case those are 2 completely and utterly unrelated things to rekonq11:44

Riddelloh aye12:27
Riddellagateau: there's problems with the copyright assignment, I don't know if there's any chance of them getting fixed though, I might ask rick if he thinks it would be worth having a session about that12:28
agateauRiddell: I was ranting, I don't think there is a need for a session on the subject12:29
Riddellwe may as well try12:30

agateauRiddell: could be useful, but I think there will be a canonical-nokia private meeting16:05
agateauRiddell: err, should have said "could be useful unless a canonical-nokia private meeting is planned"16:06
RiddellI might schedule a general qt patch review and could include that as a topic16:06
agateauRiddell: good plan16:06
Riddellsince it's our biggest patch :)16:06
agateauRiddell: fyi I turned appmenu support into a plugin in my Qt branch, as requested by Nokia devs, hopefully this will go in soon16:08
shadeslayerRiddell: btw after installing neon, you just started it with /opt/bin/startkde?16:09
shadeslayerand it automatically set the vars and stuff?16:09
Riddellshadeslayer: I didn't start a whole session, just individual apps16:10
shadeslayerah ok16:10
Quintasanrbelem: still nothing16:17
rbelemQuintasan, even on another pc?16:17
rbelemQuintasan, or the nvidia?16:18

Quintasanany idead how to set this up?16:56
Quintasanstill no edu lucid builds16:56
shadeslayerapachelogger said to look at the earlier scripts16:56
Quintasanoh god16:57
shadeslayeri found the var, but how do we proceed? patch svn packages?16:57
Quintasanpatching svn?16:57
Quintasanhmm16:57
shadeslayersame goes for X entry16:57
shadeslayerwe could put X entry in meta package16:57
Quintasando we have any other way to go around it?16:57
shadeslayerbut then it wont be a meta package :P16:57
Quintasanfor X entry - I agree16:57
shadeslayerQuintasan: no idea about other way16:57
QuintasanWho cares what is inside when it works?16:58
Quintasan:P16:58
shadeslayerhehe :P16:58
Quintasanmissing deps on edut16:58
shadeslayerand then we have the issue of bashrc and such16:58
Quintasanbah16:58
shadeslayerthe proper env vars16:58
Quintasanwhat is the issue with bashrc?17:00
Quintasanhmm17:00
QuintasanI get it17:00
QuintasanI think we need to ask apachelogger 17:01
QuintasanI have no idea how to deal with that17:01
shadeslayerme neither 17:01
shadeslayermaybe we should ship bashrc_neon in our meta package17:01
shadeslayerand patch konsole to use that as default17:01
Quintasanmakes sense17:02
Quintasanhmm edu build for lucid requested17:02
Quintasanbindings are building17:02

Quintasan:P17:57
Quintasanapachelogger: 17:58 < shadeslayer> and then we have the issue of bashrc and such17:58
Quintasanshadeslayer: ^^17:58
shadeslayerhmm?17:58
shadeslayeroh yes17:58
apacheloggerwhat issue?17:58
shadeslayerapachelogger: ok so we start up neon, launch bash, wont konsole pick up settings from ~/.bashrc17:59
shadeslayerthe issue being, the environment vars are picked from stable install17:59
apacheloggerwell17:59
apacheloggerif you export the environment as part of the KDE startup it will pick up those18:00
shadeslayerso launching a app ( say rekonq ) will make it start from /usr/local/bin/rekonq, instead of /opt/usr/local/bin/rekonq18:00
shadeslayerah so we have to patch startkde18:00
shadeslayerand how do we ship our neon entry for KDM?18:01
QuintasanNattys archives are not open yet?18:01
