jjesseJontheEchidna stupid question cause i don't know better but can i actually rate the software in software center by clicking on stars?  if not where does rating come from?  (i'm sure you answered this in your blog posts)00:18
JontheEchidnajjesse: nope, not yet. Currently the reviews come from users of the Ubuntu Software Center, but there isn't a Qt way to authenticate with the Ubuntu Single Sign-On stuff, so I've only been able to do read-only reveiws for Muon atm00:20
jjesseok, but some where in the future right :)00:20
JontheEchidnayes00:22
jjessei really like i can launch the application from within right after i install it00:24
jjesseinstead of trying to figure out where itw as installed :)00:24

Mamarokryanakca: the availability of Amarok 2.4.3 in Oneiric, don't know if Natty packages are ready by now, shadeslayer will know07:25
bambeemorning08:49
agateauhey everyone, didrocks is about to push a new Qt to Oneiric, we would like to get it tested with KDE to ensure it does not cause any regression (I can't test it right now because the amd64 package won't be ready until at least 6 or 7 hours). Anyone with a Kubuntu Oneiric 32bit system willing to give it a try? The package is in ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ppa09:42
agateauchanges are 4.73 => 4.7.4 + new appmenu-qt patch (the same as the one in Qt 4.8)09:43
agateaudidrocks: anything else new in the package?09:43
didrocksagateau: anything else apart the new 4.7.4 features (like the qml shaders, but I think noone is using it yet ;))09:44
agateaudidrocks: wow, I had no idea they introduced the qml shaders in 4.7.409:45
didrocksagateau: don't tell me I'm more aware of Qt news than you! :) (http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/09/01/qt-4-7-4-released/)09:46
* agateau won't say it, then09:47
* debfx only runs amd6409:51
agateauI have to go, keep me posted if you test the new package09:52
* bambee only runs amd64 too10:01
debfxRiddell: any idea why the udd importer created this merge proposal: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/phonon/oneiric-201108111512/+merge/7391910:33
debfxit looks like it tries to add patches that are already in the branch10:33
didrocksdebfx: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-July/033638.html11:06
didrocksdebfx: look at "I took a look at some import branches conflicts"11:07
debfxdidrocks: aha, thanks11:12
debfxso in short quilt patching handling in udd is still somewhat broken11:13
debfxdidrocks: do you know if there is a bug report about not being able to reject these merge requests?11:14
didrocksdebfx: ah, good remark! I'm not sure, but there is a need for one! :)11:15
debfxdidrocks: found one: bug #61844811:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 618448 in Launchpad itself "IBranch.isPersonTrustedReviewer doesn't have logic for package branches" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/61844811:18

bulldog98_rbelem: you pinged me15:09
kubu2usb-creator is not working.  got some errors which doesn't make sense15:43
kubu2Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-user" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.15:44
alvinkubu2: Where is your image? usb-creator can't read from NFS drives.15:44
kubu2Error: "/tmp/kde-user" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.15:44
kubu2alvin: what do you mean?15:45
=== dpm_ is now known as dpm__
alvinIf you don't know what I mean, you will not be using NFS and can ignore it.15:45
=== dpm is now known as dpm_
=== dpm__ is now known as dpm
kubu2alvin: I'm talking about the complaint about user id 0 instead of 100015:46
alvinYes, me too. But you probably need to run it as root then.15:46
tsimpsonkubu2: run it with kdesudo not sudo15:47
rbelembulldog98_, yup15:47
rbelembulldog98_, you said something about email15:48
ScottKusb-creator these days is meant to use policy-kit for privilege escalation, not sudo/kdesudo.15:48
tsimpsonthen it's fail15:49
kubu2ScottK: then it's not setup properly then? bec the menu command has no kdesudo15:49
bulldog98_rbelem: yeah you have to register an mailman account for your primary lauchpad mail adress, then tell it in the settings not to send you mail, and the list will recieve lps mails15:49
ScottKkubu2: No.  The other way around.  You should run it as a normal user and policy-kit should handle it.15:50
tsimpsonkubotu: policykit doesn't require it to be started as root, it'll escalate privileges when needed15:50
tsimpsondang nick completion15:50
kubu2ScottK: I did but has problems like failed reading from /tmp or so. That's how I got the err when I ranit from konsole15:52
ScottKSounds like a policy-kit error then.15:52
ScottKJontheEchidna: ^^^ Do you know about this?15:52
rbelembulldog98_, where do i do that? :-)15:52
JontheEchidnasounds like an application error to me, especially since it's talking about a read, which doesn't require auth15:53
JontheEchidnaI'm not familiar with usb-creator, though15:53
bulldog98_rbelem: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel15:53
bulldog98_rbelem: first item, when you are logged in15:53
ScottKJontheEchidna: Could you talk to ev about it if kubu2 files a bug?15:54
JontheEchidnaI don't know how I could help, really15:55
JontheEchidnaev would probably already know more about the particular error than me15:57
kubu2for some reasons I get better results when ran from konsole.  15:57
kubu2it never completes when ran from kickoff15:57
JontheEchidnalooking quickly at /usr/bin/usb-creator, it does seem to set its path differently based on the args passed to it, so it could be an issue with usb-creator{-kde} in general16:01
JontheEchidnaand since you have to use the konsole to run it via kdesudo, admin could be a red herring in this case16:02
rbelembulldog98_, my primary lp mail is already subscribed, where do i find the settings?16:04
rbelemoh i found16:04
bulldog98_rbelem: than I guess it’s lps fault16:05
rbelembulldog98_, "Receive acknowledgement mail when you send mail to the list?" is set to "no"16:06
rbelembulldog98_, should i set that for "Mail delivery" option?16:07
bulldog98_rbelem: forget about that, if you were already subscribed it doesn’t matter16:07
ScottKdebfx: Could you have a look at the difference between beta1 and our current alternate CDs?  They somehow gained ~28MB.16:25
debfxScottK: http://felix.fobos.de/kubuntu/kubuntu-oneiric-cd-alt-amd64-diff.htm16:29
debfxI guess kernel headers + some language packs16:29
ScottKYep.16:32
ScottKI thought the header related changes would just affect the dvd.16:33

apacheloggerDarkwingDuck: [+1]21:30

DarkwingDuckapachelogger, I'm working on porting it for www.k.o and using it to build help.k.o21:30
* apachelogger gets water meanwhile and prepares for bed21:31
ari-tczewapachelogger: can I subscribe you to bug when report is done?21:31
apacheloggerari-tczew: kubuntu-bugs should watch kde-workspace, so i'll be subscribed21:31
ari-tczewok21:32
BarkingFishapachelogger, I was looking to do some work on helping with 4.7.1, but yofel explained I have to be a ninja to do it, and I'm not.  Since I'm new, I'm not sure whether you'd be prepared to take me on, but trust me, I'm learning fast. Very fast.21:32
BarkingFishSince I've packaged before, although not deb files, rpms, I'm pretty used to most build procedures, just tweaking what I know to fit this one.21:33
* apachelogger pokes yofel21:33
apacheloggeryofel: why would one need to be in the ninjas team to update packaging?21:33
apacheloggerparticularly a patch release21:33
apacheloggerthat aint not even not making no sense21:33
BarkingFishapparently it's in your ppa area21:34
apacheloggeryes, but for starters you can just as easily build against what is in oneiric (i.e. 4.7.0) since that is supposed to be 100% compatible with .121:34
BarkingFishok, so where do I find a list of what needs building?21:35
apacheloggersee topic21:35
apacheloggerapparently natty backports need help21:36
BarkingFishok21:36
apacheloggerah, that page is utterly undescriptive ^^21:37
apacheloggerBarkingFish: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Ninjas/DependencyGraph21:37
apacheloggerthat is how core kde build depends on each other21:37
BarkingFishyeah, looking at it now, seeing all the base packages and stuff21:37
apacheloggerincidentially enough that page has a description \o/21:37
apacheloggerso essentially everything that is blue in the graph is in a yellow cell on the packaging page... meaning that stuff should be done first as not having those packages ready will block buildtime QA of all its dependent packages21:38
apacheloggernow when you take on a package you add your nick into the person column and set the status to wip21:39
apacheloggerstatus usually is: nothing (in which case you simply want to "reserve" the package, like when it needs special treatment from someone knowlegable of the problem why it needs special treatment), wip, bzr (when it is pushed to the packaging branch), bzr/ppa (when it is in the ninjas ppa too), archive (when it was uploaded to the main ubuntu archive)21:40
BarkingFishright, i'm going to need a day or so to digest this, looks quite complicated on first sight21:41
apacheloggerthat said, the only excuse for it ever only being "ppa" are a) it is a backport (we do not have bzr branches for those, not yet anyways) b) it does not have a branch21:41
apacheloggerBarkingFish: yeah, I really do not think ninja stuff is something one would want to start with21:42
apacheloggerthere is a reason the team is called ninjas ^^21:42
BarkingFishno, I'd be inclined to agree.21:42
apacheloggerBarkingFish: if I were you, I'd go to kde-apps.org or qt-apps.org find some software that is not yet in Kubuntu and try to package it from scratch21:42
BarkingFishI just basically want to get my backside off the bench and get into play.  21:42
apachelogger(ultimately some software that you would also use as to have incentive to see it through ^^)21:42
apacheloggeror you look for [needs-packaging] bugs on launchpad21:43
apacheloggeror you look for bugs tagged "packaging" on launchpad21:43
BarkingFishScottK has had me testing builds on oneiric, but I don't know if he's better at the moment. He wasn't too good last night.21:43
BarkingFishapachelogger, that's an idea.  I'll try looking through the launchpad and see if I can find anything needing doing21:44
BarkingFishprobably best not to write in brainf*** before I can type :)21:45
apacheloggerexactly21:45
apacheloggerBarkingFish: btw, should you find nothing particularly interesting maybe the TODO page from the topic might21:46
apacheloggerunfortunately I have nothing at hand since I am constantly at some conference somewhere I get little time to collect tasks ^^21:46
apacheloggerah here is something21:47
apacheloggerbrrr21:47
apacheloggerwhy do I even bother mentioning that something fails to build when no one looks into it anyway -.-21:47

BarkingFishi'm going through lp's buglist, see if I can find something I can do.21:48
apacheloggerok21:48
BarkingFishI've not packaged anything "neat", all i've done at the moment is rebuild stuff, so this is going to be an experience21:49
