rbelemScottK, just pushed the changes https://code.launchpad.net/~rbelem/ubuntu/natty/kubuntu-mobile-default-settings/plasma-mobile-patches00:01
rbelemGrueMaster, ^00:01
rbelemow i found one corner case00:04
rbelemthe live user is 99900:05
rbelemand i was planing to not install another /etc/default/nodm00:06
rbelemi think the solution is to install our /etc/default/nodm00:08
rbelemScottK, do you know if is there a way to know that a package is being installed in a live image?00:12
rbelemScottK, cos i could set the NODM_USER to ubuntu in the postinst script if the target installation is a live image and if nodm is already installed00:14
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
yofelhm, now I indeed have compositing back on my eeePC but unless I disable a couple of effects kwin is so slow that it immediately disables itself unless I disable the functionality checks00:57
yofelxrender works ok, and disabling all effects that don't work in xrender makes opengl work fine again too00:58
* yofel will talk to martin about that00:58
nixternalDarkwingDuck and Riddell: I have fixed the documentation in bzr. I will build a package and upload shortly, as long as there isn't a freeze on that prevents me of course02:09
* nixternal has to admit, that was a bit of fun getting the docs to build again02:23
rbelemapachelogger, i rewrote in sh02:52
rbelemapachelogger, http://paste.kde.org/12753/02:52
rbelemapachelogger, is it ok?02:52
rbelemhi GrueMaster03:14
rbelemGrueMaster, could you test lp:~rbelem/ubuntu/natty/kubuntu-mobile-default-settings/plasma-mobile-patches when you had time?03:15
rbelemi'm going to sleep03:15
rbelemnight all03:16
c2tarunshadeslayer: hey your network-manager working fine?03:18
nixternalis there a new way to sign packages or something? I just dput kubuntu-docs and it is telling me that Changes file must be signed with a valid GPG signature: Verification failed 3 times03:48
macodid you maybe -uc -us when you debuild -S'd?04:06
macodebsign should work for after-the-fact...04:06
nixternaljust my regular 'debuild -S -sa' and even tried just 'debuild -S'04:07
nixternalwell the changes file is signed correctly, dput even tells me so04:07
nixternalChecking signature on .changes04:08
nixternalgpg: Signature made Sat 16 Apr 2011 10:00:23 PM CDT using RSA key ID D8C4473804:08

c2tarunI tried to activate explosion desktop effect but I got an error that it cannot be activated. why so?06:13
valoriedid it use to work in Mav?06:19
valoriesomeone was complaining that 4.6.2 effects are not good06:19
valoriethey are excellent for me with Raster06:19
valoriebut that's Mav.....06:19
c2tarunvalorie: I am on natty :/ and natty has 4.6.1 :(07:30
valorieinteresting!07:31
valorieI have 4.6.2!07:31
valorieweird!07:31
c2tarunvalorie: and after the problem I faced with network-manager last night, I am not willing to upgrade for another week :)07:33
valorieI hear you07:34
valorieme either!07:34
valorieI think I'll wait until release07:34
c2tarun:)07:34
valoriealthough I did get the beta ISOs07:34
valorieso I might make a live USB07:34
valorieand try07:34
valoriedid you do that first?07:34
valorieactually, you ran lots of Natty vms, didn't you07:35
valorieso this all might have been a surprise.07:35
c2tarunvalorie: I tried with beta2 iso, the version of n-m in iso is working fine, but the new version in repo is creating lots of problem.07:35
valorieok07:36
valoriegood to know07:36
bambeemorning08:40
apacheloggerrbelem: looks good to me :)11:23
debfxcurrently power management is so broken11:29
debfxnot even dragon player inhibits turning the screen off11:29
shadeslayerc2tarun: yes11:47
c2tarunshadeslayer: your n-m working?11:48
shadeslayer yrp11:48
shadeslayer*yep11:48
c2tarunshadeslayer: so I am the only one who got stuck :/11:49
shadeslayerlooks like it11:49
c2tarunhmm...11:50
Mamarokand here we are again: Nepomuk is going wild on Natty, it uses 100% CPU and completely freezes the system. Strigi was already disabled, so it is really a Nepomuk problem12:34
c2tarunMamarok: I also get this nepomuk crash error sometime but my  system doesn't freeze, what is nepomuk?12:40
Mamarokc2tarun: Nepomuk is the semantic desktop tool: http://userbase.kde.org/Nepomuk12:49
c2tarunIf I somehow backup my root partition than on restoring will I get all my installed applications back or not? My home folder is in separate partition so no need of backing it up.12:50
Mamarokwhy backing up a root partition, except for the system configuration folders? You can easily and faster reinstall the applications, just make a list of the installed ones12:52
Mamarokthere is a tool that allows to get a list of the installed software packages than cna then be retrieved to reinstall thinks, let me check12:53
Mamarokcan*12:53
Mamarokright12:57
c2tarunIf I somehow backup my root partition than on restoring will I get all my installed applications back or not? My home folder is in separate partition so no need of backing it up.14:33
ScottKnixternal: The dput thing is a LP bug.  The package still gets uploaded when you get that error, so don't sweat it.14:34
c2tarunanybody used kbackup?14:41
ScottKLook who the Debian maintainer for the package is.16:08
c2tarunI am trying to make backup or my root partition by tar cjpf and it is halted at /proc/kcore. is this /proc/kcore very big file?16:18
ScottKDon't try to backup /proc16:19
ScottKOr /dev16:19
c2tarunScottK: why so?16:19
ScottKBecause they aren't normal files.  They are part of the system state.16:20
c2tarunScottK: so in case of system crash is it possible to restore everything without these files in backup?16:20
c2tarunI mean a restore which includes all the applications that in installed?16:21
ScottKYes.16:22
c2tarunScottK: so in case of system crash I just extract the tarball onto a drive and it will restore my whole system, how will I get dev and proc then? do I have to create these folder manually?16:25
ScottKThose are created when you install/boot the system.16:26
c2tarunScottK: ok, so extracting and then installing grub will create these folders?16:27
ScottKIt's more complicated than that.16:27
ScottKYou should really concentrate on backing up your data/configuration information and plan on reinstalling.16:27
ScottKYou can use dpgk --get-selections to get a list of installed pacakges.16:28
c2tarunScottK: actually I have slow internet connection, so reinstalling every application normally takes whole night or more.16:28
c2tarunScottK: is it possible to backup my root folder in such a way that I can restore my system into the state in which it is now?16:30
ScottKProbably.  I've never tried it.16:30
c2tarun:(16:31
c2tarunanybody here ever backed up root partition completely?16:33
jussi!info dd | c2tarun16:34
ubottuc2tarun: Package dd does not exist in maverick16:34
jussioh, not a package16:34
c2tarun!dd16:34
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about dd16:34
jussianyway, dd is what I would use - probably best to ask in #kubuntu for support though16:34
jussic2tarun: you can: man dd16:35
c2tarunjussi: what is dd?16:35
c2tarunohh..16:35
* afiestas just reinstalled kubuntu natty with a fresh beta217:23
* afiestas notices libbluedevil is 1.8.1 while bluedevil is 1.1, libbluedevil should be 1.917:24
debfxafiestas: what's new in 1.9?17:52
debfxand where can I download it?17:53
afiestasdebfx: a few new methods used by bluedevil 1.1 so we don't freeze the interface in a few places17:55
afiestasdebfx: I'm sure a tarbal is somewhere download.kde.org, but I don't know where17:57
afiestasyou can grab the git tag though17:57
debfxah yes, it's in unstable/libbluedevil17:58
debfxhm "unstable" ;)17:59
afiestasdebfx: it is on unstable because it is a playground project18:01
afiestasbut the release is considered stable by upstream 18:01
debfxhm ok, we are rather close to the release though18:13
afiestasdebfx: I know :/ I had some personal matters to attend so I couldn't test kubuntu builds before18:14
afiestasin fact, both libbluedevil and bluedevil should be updated, libbluedevil to 1.9 and bluedevil to 1.1 18:15
debfxScottK: k-d-s with a kubuntu blue grub background is in the queue18:32
bambeeuserconfig no longer runs as root :)18:45
ScottKdebfx: Thanks.  I'll have a look.19:50
ScottKdebfx: Accepted.19:55
c2tarunGimp is crashing in kubuntu is there any alternative of gimp?19:56
c2tarunis there anyway I can upgrade these packages dpkg, libattr1, libgtk2.0-common, libpam-modules, libpam-modules-bin, libpam0g, shared-mime-info without upgrading my network-manager?19:58
DarkwingDucknixternal: ping20:06
nixternalDarkwingDuck: pong20:11
DarkwingDuckOh goody.20:11
DarkwingDuck:D20:11
DarkwingDuckCare to do some training?20:11
nixternalcan't right now, bike ride in a few :)20:12
nixternalwhat kind of training were you looking for?20:12
DarkwingDuckThe next step in the docs process.20:12
DarkwingDuckBut, if you are going to be riding I'll wait till you have time.20:12
nixternalwait a few days before release, download the translations from LP, incorporate them, and repackage :)20:12
DarkwingDuckthat's what I'm refering to. I'll catch you when you have time. 20:13
* nixternal adds 'document documentation process' to his todo list20:13
nixternalthough, to be honest, i really want to streamline everything in the next cycle20:13
nixternalkde did it upstream, and that's why are docs were broken. 20:13
DarkwingDuckOkay. we'll work on that... maybe I can learn by helping.20:14
nixternalrefreshing myself on xsl stylesheets last night was not fun. actually it was a little fun, but annoying at the same time20:14
DarkwingDuckSeeing that you taught me doc work so well.20:14
nixternalpfft, i didn't teach you a damn thing, you already knew the stuff coming in20:14
DarkwingDuckHeh! i knew a little about Docbook but, that's about it.20:15
DarkwingDuckYou gave me the crash course on everything.20:15
DarkwingDuckI know nothing about packaging20:15
nixternalalrighty, gotta go scarf down a PB&J, a bannana, and a can of coke20:15
DarkwingDuckand that packaging guide... forgive my bluntness but, I don't want to know all 9 ways to do things.20:15
nixternalhehe20:15
DarkwingDuckI want to learn one at a time not all 9 at once.20:16
nixternali will be back in probably 5 hours, maybe less depending on how long i can do 50 miles today20:16
nixternalshooting for 3 hours, but that depends on how many red lights i hit20:16
DarkwingDuckOkay... when/if you have time shoot me a text.20:26
DarkwingDuckI'll be watching hockey all night.20:26
ScottKdebfx: Looks greaqt.  Thanks again.22:20
