ryanakcaRiddell: You upload with the attachment feature under the new post, the image's url will be http://www.kubuntu.org/files/<filename>00:18
Riddellryanakca: I worked that out but last I looked it hadn't picked up all the images00:19
Riddellor rather they keep changing randomly00:19
Riddellso something wasn't synced00:19
ryanakcaRiddell: Cache maybe? I'm about to head off, but I'll look at it in the morning. On http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-platform-workspaces-and-applications-472 I assume?00:19
Riddellon news/release-11.1000:20
Riddellwhich isn't published yet00:20
RiddellI haven't checked it for a few hours maybe it's fixed itself00:20
ryanakcaI seem to recall images not working right from the admin interface, but working once published. Not quite sure, I'll let you know.00:21
ScottKclaydoh: In the overall one, yes.00:47
RiddellDVDs tested, time to snooze, send me a text if we suddenly release early00:50
ScottKclaydoh: Graphics on the kmail thing would be great.01:11

apacheloggerwhy did I just click there09:30
apacheloggerOo09:30
apacheloggeroh well, might as well stay for the party09:31
Riddellso, release banner10:20
RiddellGirlyGIrl did this one http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/bannerdbb.png10:20
Riddellwhich is not quite the right size10:20
Riddelland this one http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/bannerhrl.png which looks a bit squashed in places10:20
RiddellGirlyGIrl: do you have a .xcf file for that large one?10:21
GirlyGIrlRiddell: No png10:21
sheytanRiddell i will do one10:29
sheytanquick10:29
Riddellyou have about half an hour :)10:31
sheytanwill do it ;d10:38
Riddellsheytan: 941x231 seems to be the required size10:39
Riddellsorry10:39
Riddell946x23110:39
sheytanRiddell i do the same as it's now (one i made for 11.04)10:39
Riddellryanakca or anyone, do we want to be poking sysadmins about the wiki theme today?10:40
sheytanRiddell http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8760/1110d.png10:50
sheytanjust replace the image on the server. Don't edit any position of it, should be fine :)10:50
Riddellcor, thanks10:51
sheytanwelcome10:51
apacheloggerRiddell: please run that through a png compression tool if you got time10:56
apacheloggerway too large for the intartubes10:56
Riddellapachelogger: any recommended one?  I'm not getting much reduction11:00
apacheloggerpngcrush does a good job11:00
Riddelldoesn't change anything when I run it11:01
apacheloggerRiddell: -brute11:01
apacheloggerindeed11:01
apacheloggerthat is strange11:01
apacheloggeroh11:02
apacheloggerRiddell: open with gwenview and save it from there ^^11:02
apacheloggergimp's png exporter is all sorts of weird11:02
apachelogger(and partially broken actually IIRC)11:02
Riddellwow, gwenview cut it down to 1/4 of the size, agateau for compression king11:03
apacheloggerRiddell: http://people.ubuntu.com/~apachelogger/tmp/1110d.gwenview.new.png11:04
apacheloggergwenview and pngcrush brute  = 142k11:04
apacheloggerthat seems sensible for a graphic of that dimension11:04
apacheloggerRiddell: did you try optipng already?11:04
apacheloggerI think jt likes to use that11:05
RiddellI have not tried it11:05
apacheloggerRiddell: ok, I am giving that a shot11:06
apacheloggermaybe it can squeeze a couple more kb out of it :)11:06
Riddellyour concern for canonical's bandwidth is appreciated :)11:06
apachelogger:P11:08
apacheloggerthe user's 'time to website' is also a concern ^^11:08
apacheloggerRiddell: 0.07% reduction, so I guess 142k is as small as it gets11:09
ryanakcaRiddell: Yes11:35
ryanakcaRiddell: Shall I prod?11:35
apacheloggeroh cool11:35
apacheloggerkgamma deb is empty11:35
apacheloggerwhooo11:35
ryanakcaThey said they'd be willing to flip the switch on the theme today.11:35
apacheloggersomeone broke kgamma11:35
apacheloggerryanakca: give them the long stick of fluff :P11:37
* apachelogger installs bzr11:37
ryanakcaRiddell: It also looks like you got images to work?11:37
Riddellryanakca: yes, I had to ask for a manual sync11:41
apacheloggerno one uploaded kubuntu-dev-tools? :(11:42
debfxhm, should we upload oxygen-icons? it only has one change: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=125515511:54
debfxseems not worth it to me11:55
ScottKapachelogger: It's not a separate package (akonaditray).11:56
apacheloggerah11:56
apacheloggerindeed11:56
apacheloggerthx11:56
Riddelldebfx: if you notice where this icon is used and it looks bad then it could be updated, but otherwise not too important11:57
Riddellryanakca: a prod on the wiki theme would be good11:57
ryanakcaRiddell: Alright11:57
apacheloggerRiddell, debfx: just put the changed icon into debian/ and overwrite the old with the new version?12:00
debfxapachelogger: everyone would still have to download 16MB for one updated icon that I've never seen12:01
apacheloggerdebdelta :P12:04
apacheloggerdebfx: the icon is used in the nntp akonadi resource12:04
apacheloggerusenet stuff that is I think12:05
yofelo/12:05
debfxusenet in akonadi, yuk!12:05
yofelapachelogger: you fixing kgamma?12:06
apacheloggerdebfx: I am not sure it matters though12:06
apacheloggeras IIRC kiconloader will ignore both .svgz and .png, thus probably also the combination of those two12:06
apacheloggeryofel: I started then I got distracted by something or someone12:06
apacheloggerah, right, kdevtools install12:06
yofelk12:07
yofeland re kubuntu-dev-tools, since we're notoriously bad at uploading that - got an idea where to put a daily build of that?12:07
apacheloggerdebfx: interstingly enough in akonadi I get the new icon and not the old one12:08

RiddellMamarok: enjoy your walk :)12:50
wendarQuintasan: yes, and paid it by wire transfer12:55
wendarQuintasan: they estimated "3 days" for the transfer to complete, which would have put it completing by yesterday, but I can imagine it could take longer12:56
Quintasanwendar: I see12:59
Quintasanwendar: I'll let you know when I get it :)13:00
debfxwe should really disable events in the clock applet: http://majewsky.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/reducing-the-memory-footprint-of-akonadi/13:00
* Quintasan sometimes thinks this whole semantic crap should be killed with fire13:05
Quintasansame goes for Akonadi13:05
debfxnot starting akonadi by default would be a huge step in the right direction :)13:14
ScottKDoes it start be default or when something that needs it starts?13:14
debfxonly when something needs it13:16
ScottKBTW, I got kdepim/runtime 4.4 built on oneiric.  About to test it.13:16
ScottKThen the problem is starting stuff that needs it.13:17
debfxwhich in a default install seems to be only the clock widget13:17
ScottKA clock widget that needs a relational database.13:18
Riddellvoila http://www.kubuntu.org/13:19
ScottKThere's a widget called simpleclock.13:20
ScottKDescribed as for the akonadi hater.13:20
debfxScottK: there is an option in the clock widget to disable the akonadi stuff, so no need to switch the widget13:26
ScottKThanks.13:26

ryanakcaRiddell: Do we handle our download block or does newz2000 still do it?13:44
apacheloggerryanakca: when do we get the new site theme?13:45
ryanakcaapachelogger: Ask Darkwing, he was working on porting the wiki theme to Drupal13:46
GirlyGIrlhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/11.10/release/  ... lacks many isos and besides the heading order is not nice ... mac amd64 first in the list?13:46

Riddellok how's this? https://www-admin.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download13:46
Riddellryanakca: the stuff on that page we do, the redirect he does13:47

QuintasanPrecise's going to be awesome13:53
QuintasanRelease slogan:13:54
QuintasanPrecisely folks, with utmost precision we have prepared a smashing LTS for you13:54
apacheloggersheytan: actually yeah, replacing the code name with 11.10 might be the best idea there13:54
ScottKsheytan: It works for some people, not for others.  Nowhere near production ready, IMO.13:54
apacheloggerQuintasan: I like you started off using fancy words and then ended up with smashing :P13:55
apacheloggertry s/smashing/fabolous/ :P13:55
Quintasanapachelogger: Doesn't "smashing" mean "very good" ?13:55
apacheloggeryeah, however on a degree of fancyness smashing is somewhere between apachelogger-wouldnt-use-it-ever and apachelogger-would-use-it-if-his-life-dependent-on-it :P13:56
Quintasanapachelogger: It's "fabulous" actually :P13:56

sheytanno need for double 14:23
apacheloggersheytan: yes, but the oneiric ocelot is confusing14:23
apacheloggeras we try only to use the name for the development series14:24
apacheloggernot the final product14:24
sheytanthis means?14:24
sheytanGirlyGIrl: Good job :D14:24
apacheloggersheytan: that it should not say oneiric ocelot14:25

apacheloggerintarwebs is slow here14:26
apacheloggerit is only half way loaded ^^14:26

sheytanrly? :D14:26

sheytanso why take care of it every release?14:27
Riddellapachelogger: yes14:27
apacheloggerdebfx: no14:28
Riddellsheytan: code names are for use before release, but not generally after release14:28
apacheloggerdebfx: we can write a new script for init14:28
apacheloggerthat is all14:28
apacheloggerplasma settings do not cascade via kiosk \o/14:28
sheytanRiddell asking again, what for? Can't we recognize it only using numbers?14:28
apacheloggerthough there were plans of sane kiosk support at some point14:28
Riddellsheytan: yes, numbers are the way to talk about versions after releases14:29
apacheloggersheytan: numbers are harder to write14:29

apacheloggereh14:33
apacheloggerbug in ubiquity14:33
apacheloggerwhen you install and say quit you end up in a session rather than shutdown14:33
apachelogger-.-14:33
apacheloggersheytan: 11.10 is more writing work than oneiric14:33
apacheloggerbecause you have to consult with the numbers part of the keyboard which is generally more straining14:33
sheytanapachelogger: not really :P14:34
Riddellat least people can spell 11.1014:34
apacheloggertrust me it is14:34
apacheloggerphonon also has names for versions14:34
apacheloggerexcept we do not call products silly names14:34
GirlyGIrlNew banner is not really centered ... site looks funny14:35
sheytanit would be better to call kubuntu only like 'ocelot' without anything else14:35
maco<naproxeno> I'm not sure if this is the proper place to report this but... The release page says "...Please be aware of the known issues, as one effects upgrading."14:35
maco<naproxeno> Shouldn't that be "*affects upgrading"?14:35
macofrom #kubuntu. pretty sure that's correct14:35
* GirlyGIrl thinks kubuntu.org would look better if it were a wordpress site14:36
Riddellmaco: fixed14:38
macotnx14:38
RiddellGirlyGIrl: yes the banner position isn't great but my HTML isn't good enough to fix it alas14:39
Riddellit's also too wide for the announce page14:39
sheytanWE NEED A NEW PAGE!  :D14:39
sheytanand no one can help me :(14:39
debfxapachelogger: that's quite bad, so we'd have to patch the code :/14:39
GirlyGIrlhtml is easy!  haven't used it for a long time though14:40
Riddellsheytan: what what?14:40
sheytanI've done a great page for kubuntu, but ofir don't had time to finish this. So all my work is unsuded now14:41
Riddelloh template?14:41
sheytani even think that i could take the ubuntu theme from launchpad for drupal and start adding stuff into it14:41
Riddellryanakca said that Darkwing was porting the wiki theme to Drupal14:41
sheytani need to take care of that, really14:42
sheytanto finally fnish it14:42
sheytanand we need our own server, to not depent on canonical when we want to put new stuff on it14:42
macoRiddell: you can put <center>    ...    </center> around the link object that surrounds the image14:42
macoits not the *correct* way to do it with CSS and all, but its the way tht works without me having to sort out the floating divs that are blocking the correct way14:43
Riddellmaco: golly you're right14:44
GirlyGIrlRiddell: Let alone the banner but see the announcement page itself this one is a major problem http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/4638/snapshot4f.png ... or is it my browser14:44
GirlyGIrlreferring to the weird overlap14:44
RiddellGirlyGIrl: it's not just your browser14:44
RiddellGirlyGIrl: that just needs the banner made less wide, time for your gimp skills? 14:45
GirlyGIrlRiddell: But less wide= adverse effects on the main page14:46
macoGirlyGIrl: can have two images on the server at once14:46
macojust change the filename a bit when you make it smaller14:46
macoand then poke riddell to make the one that needs to be smaller point to the one that is smaller14:47
macooh um or14:47
macouse height= and width=14:47
macothats easier14:47
macoRiddell: on the announcements page, change where it has width="800" height="195" in the <img> tag to just say      style="width:100%"14:48
macoitll automatically make it just big enough to fit14:49
wendarQuintasan: I just got confirmation on my side that the transfer was "complete". May still be a delay until it officially shows up in the store's account.14:50
Riddellmaco: that'll streth or shink the image which never looks good14:51
BarkingFishhi guys :)  Anyone here seeing any moans about the dist-upgrade?  I can't get mine to work :P14:53

GirlyGIrlhttp://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2559/bannershortened.png14:55
BarkingFishI get as far as the upgrade "Getting new software channels", it downloads about 104 packages, and then drops out with "Sorry - Kpackagekit: Process exited with code 1", Riddell 14:55
GirlyGIrlhmm no messed up gradient there14:55
BarkingFishthen the upgrade stops and I drop back to kpackagekit14:55
Riddellmaco: yes14:56
RiddellBarkingFish: sounds like a crash, look at logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ and file a bug14:57
macohrmph. he's not online. 14:57
BarkingFishIt's odd, Riddell - I just called back kpackagekit and I now have 1307 packages to upgrade :)14:57
maco<annalee> what is this muon business? It looks cool. Is it cool?14:57
maco<annalee> it appears to be like kpackagekit but with more features and pretty stuff14:57
maco<annalee> ok, well I am interested in this muon, and wish to subscribe to its newsletter.14:57
RiddellBarkingFish: because it's looking at oneiric sources now, best not upgrade through kpackagekit though14:57
BarkingFishWell that's silly then, cause kpackagekit is what alerted me to the dist upgrade in the first place :)14:58
BarkingFishI clicked on the software update icon in the system tray, and offered me the link to upgrade through the program.14:58
BarkingFishRiddell, it's not a crash, it's a whole mess of broken packages 15:02
BarkingFishI'll pastebin my apt-log up for you, it's quite a mess15:02
BarkingFishhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/707377/15:03

LaserJocklast time I looked they were just hosted at the same place15:30

DarkwingI'm a bit confused though... as downstream and a distro, isn't our objective to provide the best distro we can to the users?21:39
yofel"The Kontact team is horribly understaffed."21:40
yofelrolf21:40
yofellike we aren't21:40
DarkwingI know we pride ourselves as being as close to upstream as we are but, our priorities should be to the user because we are a distro.21:40
DarkwingLOL21:40
yofel*rofl21:40
dtchenDarkwing: I think there has been confusion in how "pristine" (or close) to upstream Kubuntu is21:41
Darkwingyofel: I did like the rolf thing though :P:P21:41
yofelDaskreech: it reminds me on the kdelibs-4.8 thread on kde-core-devel21:41
yofel:P21:41
yofelargh, tab fail, sry Daskreech21:41
Darkwingdtchen: Reguardless... Our goal should be toward the user...21:41
dtchenmy opinion is that it should go without saying that Kubuntu serves its users, not its upstreams. No upstream bootstraps its own UEFI handler.21:42
macodtchen: the pristineness policy states that upstream has to agree to the patches before we'll integrate them. it doesnt include that upstream has to also integrate them though21:42
yofelDarkwing: if you didn't read the kdelibs-4.8 thread - it was about where distro people that contribute to kdelibs should put their code. Which as essentially Kevin Kofler saying that he doesn't care about kde platform 5, but about a kdelibs-4.8 release as a distro guy21:42
Darkwingyofel: :D Yeah, I'm remembering that.21:43
dtchenmaco: right, and I don't think that was even raised in the flamewar on k-d.21:43
DarkwingI'm just saying that we *should* provide what is the most stable and best for the end user.21:43
yofeland I agree there, even today a had an argument in -offtopic about kde lacking quality control21:43

macoafiestas probably DOES owe him an apology though23:46
MamarokAmarok is shipped as the default KDE media player since ages by pretty much all distros, all also offer Juk, but the users preference goes to Amarok, clearly23:46
Mamarokwell, I think afiestas is sick of having that guy starting flamewars everywhere23:47
macojust because the one's gone off doesnt mean another needs to23:47

Riddelland now we even have a user who likes KMail 2, there's an unexpected twist23:50
DarkwingRiddell: I would say that if we remove him then, we have to remove those who were also out of line. OR, we can get an email out to those violators and let them know that they are on a final warning, point them to the policies and see what happens.23:51
yofelwell, I can agree with Ingo so far that Kmail2 works fine for me - after a huge amount of fiddling around and puring the akonadi DB at least onc23:51
