shtylman_or does anyone have a link to that for that matter :)03:11
shtylman_nvm... I have located it03:12
shtylman_so I am trying irssi03:25

claydohshtylman_: thats why I stick to quassel :), tho not as l33t, still kewl03:31
claydoh:)\03:31
JontheEchidnaas far as cli IRC clients went, I preferred BitchX. But now I use GUI IRC clients because the only place I really used a cli irc client was with NDS Linux03:32
JontheEchidnahmm, doesn't look like it's in the ubuntu repos anymore03:32
shtylman_it lives!! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuBacklog03:40
nixternalshtylman: what is complicated about irssi? you quickly learn a few commands and it is golden, for many years to come06:05
nixternali ahve had the same irssi/bitchx config for 15 years now06:05
hunger_When will the merging from debian to natty start for real?11:05
=== hunger_ is now known as hunger
nigelbhunger: It already has, but debian is frozen right now, so things are a bit slow.11:12
hungernigelb: Ah, that explains it.11:12
hungernigelb: Normally I do get lots more upgrades at this time of the development cycle, so I was wondering:-)11:12
hungerAnyother maybe stupid question... Will the decision for unity impact kubuntu in any way?11:15

ScottKRiddell: We still need the Kolab discussion.14:12
udsloggerdave is in favor of 16:1514:12
ScottKRiddell: I believe I'm free at 1000.14:13

Riddellagateau: are you in dbusmenu session?15:08
agateauRiddell: i am15:09
Riddellgroovy15:09
Riddellmgresslin wants to implement menu items in the top left window menu15:10
shtylmanRiddell: nice!15:10
shtylmanI was gonna suggest something similar to that15:11
Riddellshtylman: didn't you already code that?15:11
shtylmanRiddell: sorta15:11
shtylmanI was playing around with it last UDS15:11
Riddellis the code still around?15:11
shtylmanand worked with agateau on some requirements for the registration service15:11
shtylmanbut he says it is better now15:11
shtylmanyea15:11
shtylmanI have the code on my box15:12
shtylmanbut it is probly outdated to the current global menu spec15:12
shtylmanand I started with my own kwin theme15:12
shtylmanbut we probly want to extend oxygen?15:12
shtylmanalthought this would mean that users should not remove that icon/and or button that gives them the menu15:12
shtylmanbut I would certainly love to see that in natty15:13
shtylmanmake better use of the title bar :)15:14
Riddellshtylman: what's the difference between your backlog page and the existing todo page?15:14
shtylmanRiddell: from what I understand the todo page is per release?15:15
Riddellyes15:16
Riddelldavidbarth: do we need a session with mgreslin?15:16
shtylmanbacklog is long lived15:16
shtylmanit also has sub categories.. which I haven't seen in todo page15:17
Tm_Tgräßlin?15:17
shtylmanbut the biggest thing is that it is long lived15:17
shtylmanand you can add to it during the cycle15:18
shtylmanand then start off every UDS reviewing the items there .. mostly to make sure no ideas that we wanted to implement are lost in the wind :)15:18
Riddellshtylman: groovy, so I can use the backlog page to start tidying up the proceedings15:22
Riddelland as a basis for the todo page15:22
shtylmanRiddell: yep15:22
shtylmanthat's the idea15:22
Riddellnow, why are you and scott having a flamewar on kubuntu-devel?15:22
shtylmanI wrote the backlog from the proceedings I could find (based on your link)15:23
shtylmanwe are?15:23
shtylmanfrom my point of view he just clarified what I asked about15:23
shtylmancause I didn't know what the specific role of council has been in the past15:23
shtylmanI didn't sense any hostility :)15:24
shtylman<3 scottk15:24
shadeslayerQuintasan: pingly15:26
Riddellthe role of the council has actually never been defined, it's just been assumed it gets final say, I wonder if it would be useful to get that recognised or if it would just cause hassle15:26
shtylmanRiddell: would be useful to do something :) I think keeping the role unclear is a bad idea15:27
davidbarthRiddell: yeah, i'd really like to15:27
davidbarthRiddell: let me schedule something, there are still slots open15:27
shadeslayernow... who would like to make slides for project neon so that i can present a lightning talk15:27
shtylmancause then there isn't a clear line on what should be said where .. etc15:27
shtylmanI dunno what it means to get it "recognised" ... if the kubuntu contributors recognize it.. then that is enough imho15:28
shtylmanthe people can provide power and the people can take power away :)15:28
rbelemshadeslayer, i did not find :-(15:29

Riddelldavidbarth: I have a docs session at 12 so I can't make that15:43

JontheEchidnaturns out there are two oxygen-gtk projects16:40
JontheEchidnathis one is by the lead oxygen dev and seem better16:41
JontheEchidnahttp://gitorious.org/oxygen-gtk/oxygen-gtk/16:41
JontheEchidnaI just noticed that the gtk-oxygen-engine I uploaded doesn't have the necessary COPYING.LIB, so I'd like that to get rejected so that I can use the package name for this better one :P16:41
shtylmantaco... go with the better one :)16:42
RiddellJontheEchidna: gtk2-engines-oxygen rejected16:42
JontheEchidnaRiddell: thanks16:42
shadeslayerRiddell: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~neon/+recipe/project-neon-kdelibs/+build/5990 << idea why it has a dep wait?17:27
Riddell"Aptitude couldn't satisfy the build dependencies"17:29
shadeslayerRiddell: and?17:32
shadeslayerhmm17:36
shadeslayerRiddell: seemed to be a PPA publishing issue17:42
shadeslayersheytan: did project neon work for you?17:43
sheytanshadeslayer nope. As i told you yesterday. I complied myself :D17:44
shadeslayeroh.. i didnt see that part17:44
shadeslayerits broken right now anyways17:44
=== jefferai is now known as jefferai-away
danttiRiddell: do you think all packages to be installable should install the language packs too?18:34
danttiRiddell: I can easily force a check for missing language packages before the user install the packages but some users might complaing about the size and for it be a must18:35
Riddelldantti: we do already prompt (at least in theory) for missing language packs at login19:00
Riddelldantti: the extras.ubuntu.com repository might be interesting to support19:01
Riddellthey added some extra fields to the Packages.gz file19:01
Riddellso that would need to be merged into the existing application databases19:01
Riddelldantti: mvo wondered if command line debconf support for pkcon would be possible, I said I'd ask :)19:02
Riddellwhere's rohan?19:18
Riddellshadeslayer: why aren't you in the queue?19:18
sheytanHey guys :D19:25
sheytananyone to write something like sound indicator from Ubuntu? :D19:26
shtylmanheh19:26
sheytanthis would be coller idea then the message indicator :D19:26
shtylmantalk to agateau about that one19:26
sheytanand sound ind. is the one that is cool :D19:26
Riddellwhat should I say in my UDS summary?19:31
shtylmaneverything19:31
Riddelli.e. the two minutes I get to talk about Kubuntu sessions at the end19:31
shtylmanKDE IS THE FUTURE! :p19:31
jjessecannonical has decided due to the anger over switching to unity they decided to go to KDE19:33
shtylmanhaha19:33
CIA-41[libqapt] jmthomas * 1191149 * trunk/extragear/sysadmin/libqapt/src/cache.cpp (log message trimmed)19:41
CIA-41Also read the pin file so that settings in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ will work as19:41
CIA-41well. I'll see about using pkgCacheFile in QApt::Cache once I can get a feel for19:41
CIA-41jmthomas * 1191151 * branches/stable/extragear-kde4/sysadmin/libqapt/src/cache.cpp Backport fix for LibQApt not respecting preference files in the /etc/apt/preferences.d/ dir.19:44
eMyllerhey19:45
eMylleranyone know how can i use the 4th and 5th buttons of the mouse on window behaviors?19:46
shtylmanbuy a mouse with less buttons19:46
shtylman;)19:46
eMylleri'd like to set the 4th button (that defaults to Back @ browser) to minimize the window19:46
eMyllershtylman: then i won't have 4th and 5th buttons! :D19:46
shtylmaneMyller: I would ask in #kubuntu (this is a developer channel)19:47
eMylleri know19:47
danttiRiddell: right but the user will only get firefox localized (for example) at login, which is not very nice19:48
danttiRiddell: gnome-packagekit needs a new package, (version 30 or 32 iirc)19:48
danttiRiddell: pkcon and gnome-packagekit will get debconf support for free probably next week, Richard coded it wrong yesterday so I guess only next week he will rewrite it19:49
Riddelldantti: Richard?19:51
danttiRiddell: pk author19:51
Riddellhe's coding debconf support?19:51
danttifor free I mean he is adding it to pk-glib19:51
danttiRiddell: yup, it quite simple but he created a file instead of a socket and it didn't work19:52
CIA-41jmthomas * 1191154 * branches/stable/extragear-kde4/sysadmin/libqapt/src/ (backend.cpp backend.h worker/worker.cpp worker/worker.h) Backport the handling of additional error points during initialization that we weren't catching before.19:54
danttieMyller: I saw a blog post on plannet a while back about a trackball mouse which such buttons, and he managed to get it working I believe that this could help19:54
Riddelldantti: but but.. he's a Fedora guy, why does he care about debconf?19:55
CIA-41jmthomas * 1191155 * branches/stable/extragear-kde4/sysadmin/libqapt/src/backend.cpp Backport the fix for Backend not telling clients that package state has changed after loading a selections file.19:55
danttiRiddell: he cares about having PK used anywhere19:55
danttilike me I want kpk everywhere not just in kubuntu19:55
danttilet's dominate the world :P19:56
danttiRiddell: also PK got accepted into Debian after debconf was added :)19:56
danttiif Debian wasn't in it's Ice Age there would be packages for it already19:57
eMyllerdantti: yeah, i was wishing that i could input clicks (like key shortcuts) instead of selecting (Left|Right|Middle) @ Window Behavior » Window Actions19:57
eMyllerhaving to use imwheel sucks. :\19:57
danttieMyller: sure, I have a 5 bt mouse too, but I'm too lazy to make it work :P19:57
eMyllerlol19:58
eMyllerseriously, having the click choices in a dropdown looks too hardcoded19:59
eMyllerclick choices + (alt + click choices « again)19:59
