apacheloggercoling11:45
afiestas_apachelogger: yes, it should be fixed11:46
afiestas_if lightdm didn't broke it11:46
yofelapachelogger: can I go and ping him? And where should the bug on bugs.kde.org go?11:46
apacheloggeryes you can, yes it should11:47
apacheloggerit actually is likely a phonon issue11:47
apacheloggerunless configured otherwise phonon's pulse integration will make the selection11:47
apacheloggerso I'd guess that the pulse kde device module thing is not loaded in time for knotify to start doing things, leading to PA-less knotify which then of course uses alsa based device selection which ends up in a mess11:48
apacheloggerafiestas_: seems robert broke it again then11:49
ulyssesI got a strange open file dialog sometimes: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ulysses/filedialog.png11:51
apacheloggerthat is11:52
apacheloggerehm11:52
apacheloggerinteresting11:52
apacheloggeras if the fontmatrix was wrong or something11:53
apacheloggerulysses: maybe ask in #kde if they have seen this sort of issue before11:53
* apachelogger would think that it is either an issue in dolphin, kdelibs or qt11:54
ulysseskdelibs or qt, it's in lokalize11:54
ulyssesI can't reproduce in Kate11:56
apacheloggercan you reproduce it everytime with lokalize?11:57
apacheloggeralso you are probably right, the filedialog probably does not use the dolphin kpart ^^11:57
ulyssesNo, it's total random11:57
apacheloggerok11:59
apacheloggerkdelibs or qt it is11:59
ulyssesNo answer in #kde yet12:01
apacheloggermeh12:13
apacheloggerproblem is we cannot even check whether it is qt because qt's file open dialog does not do line breaks it seems12:14
apacheloggerit only elides 12:14
apacheloggeroh my12:14
apacheloggerulysses: try with a different style than oxygen12:14
apacheloggerulysses: and with a different font than ubuntu12:14
apacheloggerif you can still reproduce the issue we at least know that the problem is not with those two things12:15
ulyssesapachelogger: I changed the plasma them and the font, the issue remains12:20
apacheloggerulysses: oh, not plasma, the widget style12:23
apacheloggerto plastique perferrably12:23
* apachelogger likes how one review of 11.10 complains about the usage of raster before it was stable12:24
apacheloggerfun fact is: raster has been the reference rendering method for Qt for ages12:24
apachelogger4.4 or something12:24
ulyssesno change, with Plastique I can still reproduce12:24
* yofel hasn't gotten any raster issues in 11.10 at all12:26
apacheloggeryofel: because there aren't any :P12:34
yofelgood ;)12:34
apacheloggerpeople just like to sounds smart by saying things that are wrong but appear very informed to others who do not know that they are wrong :S12:35

debfxghostcube: what does system settings -> login screen -> shutdown -> halt say?15:06
ghostcubemoment pls15:06
ghostcube(sbin/halt15:07
debfxI had a similar problem after upgrading to a kde 4.7 beta version that set a wrong halt command15:07
debfxghostcube: it should be "/sbin/shutdown -h -P now"15:07
ghostcubeok i will change it15:07
debfxghostcube: have you upgraded from natty to oneiric final or before the release?15:08
ghostcubeas final came out15:09
ghostcubenot beta15:09
yofelto 4.7 before 4.7.0 ?15:09
ghostcubeyes i get 4.7.0 from ppa15:09
ghostcubethen did an upgrade to omeiric15:09
ghostcube*n15:10
ghostcubemaybe this should be as a comment inside the bug report?15:12
ghostcubeso everyone noticing this can check this command?15:12
yofelit is fixed in 4.7.2, but those that already have a wrong command set will probably have to change it by hand15:14
ghostcubewill leave it as comment then15:14
yofelghostcube: actually it's fixed in 4.7.1 too15:15
ghostcubehmm i pull the kde updates from the ppa could be its just there since this time.15:16
ghostcubebut as some other  noticing its for them the same situation15:16
ghostcubeso its better to check for this, as to use this shortvut workarround15:17

BarkingFishAha! One of the people I wanted to speak to is here at least :)  ximion - have you got a couple of minutes to spare please? I'm trying to get hold of the source to packagekit and kpackagekit, and I understand you were the packager.  Do you still have copies of the source files please?17:20
yofelBarkingFish: you can fetch the archive source with 'apt-get source <package>'17:22
BarkingFisher, no I can't.  It wants to send me apper instead, which I don't want.  I want the source to kpackagekit prior to the dist upgrade - i.e, before it broke17:23
yofelBarkingFish: install ubuntu-dev-tools -> pull-lp-source kpackagekit natty17:24
BarkingFishok, doing that now.  I need to set up my kit again anyhow, generate some new keys, etc17:25
BarkingFishkpackagekit will make a return :P17:26
BarkingFishi practically guarantee it :)17:26
yofeltalk to dantti first what can be improved in apper17:27
yofelyou don't usually resurrect legacy software ;)17:28
BarkingFishi may not resurrect it, I may just do enough to make it work locally, yofel.  17:29
BarkingFishit'd be nice to have it back, since i now have 3 progs doing the job of one where they were altogether before17:29
ximionBarkingFish: why exactly do you want kpackagekit back?17:34
ximionit is really legacy software17:34
ximionit won't even compile without many modifications17:35
ximione.g. you would have to port it to packagekit-qt2 first17:35
ximionbetter improve Apper, dantti is always open to new suggestions17:35
ulyssesiirc Apper == KPackageKit, right? just renamed and improved17:36
BarkingFishximion, I wanted kpackagekit back because I found apper didn't have the same inbuilt functionality that kpackagekit had - instead of using the one program to install software, get my updates and deal with the software sources, I'm now using three individual progs to do the same job.17:36
BarkingFishit's a matter of integrating the original functionality of kpackagekit into apper. If that can be done, kpackagekit can stay buried.17:37
ximionulysses: yes - Apper ist the non-technical, user-friendly name of KPackageKit17:38
ximionBarkingFish: it's still one program...17:38
ximionthe Apper KCM17:38
ximionthis tool can handle updates, software sources and packages :)17:38
ximionthere aren't three programs17:38
ximionGNOME-PackageKit does this, but not Apper...17:39
BarkingFishSo, where are the button links in the interface? 17:39
BarkingFishMy primary concern is that transitioning from kpackagekit as I knew it, to apper as it is now, without the same UI, is sort of odd.17:40
yofelximion: how do you open software-properties-kde from apper17:40
yofelah, nvm17:41
yofelpossible - but rather hard to find17:41
BarkingFishwhich it shouldn't be, yofel 17:41
BarkingFishthis was the issue with kmail2 - the old interface worked, the new one using akonadi and nepomuk was hardly user friendly. This is no different.17:42
ximionmatter of taste, IMO17:42
BarkingFishit's a matter of "can a new user find it without having to ask for help?", ximion 17:42
ximionbut it's better to modify the interface of Apper as you need than taking KPK as starting point for a new PK-based package manager17:42
BarkingFishand the answer would be "no" at this point :)17:43
ximionuser sees "Updates" in the main field, and can click on it17:43
ximionsome applies to installed software17:43
ximiononly the settings are a little bit harder to find17:43
BarkingFishand again, they shouldn't be.  apper would be perfect with the minor modification of putting those 3, easy to spot links back on the left side of the UI.17:44
yofelIMO it was a better UI layout too17:45
yofelthe current one feels a bit... cramped17:45
BarkingFishagreed17:45
BarkingFishit's all shoved into one small space you have to go looking for stuff in.17:45
BarkingFishyofel, remember the "edit origins" button I was looking for last night?17:46
BarkingFishI *just* found it17:46
BarkingFishmain UI, click on the spanner in the top right, click settings, select Software origins17:47
yofelyeah, I only found it just now too17:48
BarkingFishThis is what I should have been able to do direct from the old UI links - not go hunting for it17:48
yofelas I searched through apper too when you asked17:48
yofeland back then I never realized there's a little wrench in the corner17:48
BarkingFishI'll catch dantti at some point, or maybe file this on launchpad as a wish17:48
* yofel isn't a fan of icon-less buttons AND not a fan of text-less buttons unless they're huge17:48
BarkingFishit needs doing, even if only for the sake of user friendliness. You shouldn't need to look for it, it should be visible "on impact"17:49
ximionBarkingFish, yofel: The reason to change the layout was to remove the "dead space" of the bug icon bar on the left and make more space available for package & application display17:53
ximionbut you really should talk to dantti about this17:53
ximionmaybe he can do something for Apper 0.7.217:54
BarkingFishWe can only hope, ximion :)17:54
ximionfor me, the new layout works - but I knew where every option was, so you might be right ^^17:54
BarkingFishwell this is much fun.  I've filled out a wish on the kde bugzilla, and it won't submit :)18:02
BarkingFishnever mind, it's gone through18:04

Kottizenwhen I change desktop background I can either load my own picture or get one from kde-look.org; how does the communication between my desktop and kde-look.org work?

cure_Hi :) i was wondering about the rumor that windows 7 need´s some registry patch so Bulldozer can perform 40-70% faster is this true ?20:06
BarkingFishcure_, this isn't a windows channel, maybe you could try ##windows20:07

cure_but thanks anyway20:09
=== Guest96019 is now known as kyofel
BarkingFishcure_, who told you to come here and ask?20:17
BarkingFishWe don't and never have dealt with windows, this channel is only for the development of a linux distribution called Kubuntu20:18
sheytanapachelogger: i used your pic in my adress book for a screenshot on my blog. Is that bad? 20:19
cure_http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=311874920:19
cure_yes okey i didint know better :) 20:20
BarkingFishthat thread mentions nothing about windows 7 :)20:20
cure_pease20:20
cure_no i was wondering about the bulldozer :) not windows 7 i just put that in my fyrst question20:21
BarkingFishin that case, it was just confusing :)20:21
BarkingFishYou came and mentioned windows 7, i thought you wanted to know for windows 7...20:21
BarkingFishI would have no idea about the AMD bulldozer in Kubuntu, so I'll hand that up to the rest of the devs :)  Anyone else have any ideas?20:22
cure_no just over all :) thank you 20:22
=== Jon_Severinsson is now known as Jonno_
BarkingFishThis could be interesting, devs - and I could do with some advice.  How do you file a bug on a package when you don't know what the package is which you need to file a bug against??? :)21:03
BarkingFishAllow me to explain - there is a user in #kubuntu who is unable to run alsactl store 0 on his sound card, gets told that Home directory /home/george isn't his.  I just tried the same command here and got the same response.21:04
kyofela) common sense b) guessing c) thinking hard and guessing again21:04
kyofelo.O21:05
BarkingFishI've seen several people over the last day or two in oneiric with this very issue.  But I don't know whether it's a fault with alsactl, with the permissions settings, something else...21:05
kyofelBarkingFish: sudo alsactl... or without sudo?21:06
BarkingFishwith sudo21:06
BarkingFishwithout sudo you get cannot open /var/lib/asound.state - Permission denied21:06
kyofeltrue, confirmed21:06
BarkingFishto be exact, you get: alsactl: save_state:1547: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for writing: Permission denied21:07
kyofelBarkingFish: workaround: sudo -i -> then run alsactl store 0 as root21:07
BarkingFishNo protocol specified21:08
BarkingFishxcb_connection_has_error() returned true21:08
BarkingFishbrb21:08
kyofelnote: I have no idea what that is actually supposed to do21:08
BarkingFishwhat, the alsactl command?21:10
BarkingFishor sudo -i?21:10
kyofelalsactl store 021:11
BarkingFishright, it stores the last state of the soundcard at 0 - volume, muted channels, etc21:11
BarkingFishand restores them next time you use the soundcard21:12
BarkingFishSo at least we know it's happening - I'll file it as a bug on the launchpad and we can go from there.21:14
