ScottKBarkingFish: Different meeting.  This was a kubuntu-dev meeting.  The one you're after is ubuntu-qa02:01
BarkingFishah, ok :)02:02
BarkingFishI saw it advertised in the topic and thought it was the one I was meant to be at :)02:02
=== santiago-ve is now known as foursixnine
debfxfregl: qt-creator fails to build with the qt 4.8 a11y changes. it can't find qdeclarativeitemchangelistener_p.h.11:12
debfxfregl: I think this patch should fix it: http://paste.kde.org/187736/11:12
debfxdanimo: qt-creator still crashes with qt 4.8 :(11:13
davmor2Riddell: is there a reason why the qt/telepathy client isn't listed under clients on the telepathy site?11:14
Riddelldavmor2: I don't know there's such a client as qt/telepathy and I don't maintain the telepathy site11:19
Riddell"/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Memory exhausted" damn that's not good for qtwebkit on armhf11:27
davmor2Riddell: my bag KDE telepathy11:28
davmor2http://blogs.fsfe.org/drdanz/?p=63211:29
Riddelldavmor2: well you're have to ask whoever maintains the telepathy site, the site could be badly maintained or it could be that kde telepathy has not had a stable release11:33
danimodebfx: same backtrace?11:49
danimodebfx: btw: we are about to document all there is to know about Qt creator packaging: http://wiki.qt-project.org/Qt_Creator/Building_Release_Packages11:50
debfxdanimo: basically the same backtrace, yes11:53
danimodebfx: which Creator version?11:58
debfxdanimo: 2.4.013:04
danimodebfx: did you try building a stock Creator on a stock Qt?13:23
Riddellhmm calligra has main inclusion issues as well as ARM issues, never quick answers!13:24
shadeslayerSo I have kdevelop documentation in list missing .. should I leave it or do I install with kdevelop-data ?13:25
debfxdanimo: nope13:31
danimodebfx: please do13:33
RiddellScottK: I'm afraid I don't have enough bandwidth to test 4.7.4 in -proposed until next week but it's on my todo list13:37
debfxdanimo: will do tomorrow13:37
shadeslayerKDevelop up as well : https://launchpad.net/~rohangarg/+archive/experimental/+packages13:42
shadeslayerI've left out the docs for now ....13:42
ScottKRiddell: OK.  Hopefully others will.13:46
Riddellshadeslayer: oh cool13:48
shadeslayerRiddell: not sure, but did we include kdevelop docs in our previous uploads?13:49
Riddellshadeslayer: I don't know, is it a separate tar?13:52
shadeslayerNope, there are a bunch of docs that were not installed13:53
shadeslayerthere is a new tar though, ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/kdevelop/4.2.81/src/kdevelop-custom-buildsystem-1.2.1.tar.bz213:53
Riddellshadeslayer: oh then you should work out if they are new or if there was a reason we didn't package tham13:53
Riddelland decide if they should go in the same binary package or a new one13:54
Riddellshadeslayer: do you know what that new tar is?13:54
shadeslayernoepe13:54
shadeslayer*nope13:54
shadeslayersaw it about 20 minutes ago13:54
shadeslayerhttp://bugs.kde.org/27994313:55
ubottuKDE bug 279943 in general "Wrong X-DocPath entries in kdevelop* desktop files" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]13:55
shadeslayerNew documentation, do I put it in a package of its own or put it in kdevelop-data?13:55
shadeslayerRiddell: https://plus.google.com/photos/115138410189586016392/albums/5698600430175629041?authkey=CJvvqMv40YnSvAE :D14:00
Riddellshadeslayer: ooh your shiny book?14:03
shadeslayerYus14:03
Riddellwhat are the chances of getting copies to fosdem feb 5th?14:04
shadeslayerWe're going to launch it on 25th :D14:04
shadeslayerRiddell: You can order them online now14:04
Riddellhmm but if I want a bunch to sell on the stall?14:04
shadeslayerRiddell: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/kde-guide/18173477?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/114:04
Riddellor give away?14:04
shadeslayerWe only got 4 copies14:04
shadeslayerOr 3 I think14:05
Riddell"Only ships from North America" well counts out getting any to kde e.v. alas14:05
shadeslayerGet someone who is coming to FOSSDEM form the US to get them?14:06
shadeslayerI've got to go, will be back in an hour and a half or so14:06
shadeslayercya14:06
Riddellfosdem isn't a transatlantic thing, nobody comes from the US really14:13
Riddelldo lulu really only do the US?  lydia is going to use them as well I think but that's a shame to have books we can't get 14:14
schnellehuh... I found one more task manager bug. I can reproduce it on oneiric and on precise14:16
schnellehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfWe_CW0q814:16
schnellecan anyone confirm this?14:16
RiddellI have no bandwidth for video alas14:31
Riddellshadeslayer: should I look at kdevelop today or do you want to do docs/that new tar first?14:56
shadeslayerRiddell: I think they ship overseas, might cost Import duty or such15:17
shadeslayerI'll ask Adam15:17
shadeslayerRiddell: as for KDevelop, I want to finish off the docs as well, the docs are just converted from userbase , so the question is, what's the benefit of having a handbook installed15:18
shadeslayerOne can just export the docs from userbase in the form of a handbook15:18
Riddellwell one could say that about all handbooks15:19
Riddellthey're presumably only for people without internet15:19
shadeslayerThen how does one install kdevelop without internet ;)15:19
RiddellDVD is an option15:20
Riddellif they're large use a separate binary package, else in the existing one15:20
shadeslayergot it15:24
shadeslayer7.6 Megs ... not alot, I'll just put it in the data package15:27
Riddellif it was for something on the CD that would certainly be considered a lot15:28
Riddellwe might want to look if there are other handbooks can be moved off the CD15:28
shadeslayerrekonq has a handbook iirc15:28
Riddellbut if you think it's find for someone on an indian connection to download then go for it :)15:28
Riddell36M     /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/15:29
shadeslayerUh, yeah, for someone installing KDevelop to contribute to KDE, it most certainly is not alot15:29
shadeslayer:D15:29
Riddellbut dunno what I've installed on top of hte CD for that or what it compresses to on the CD15:29
Riddellshadeslayer: good point :)15:29
shadeslayerrekonq docbook is 1.5 Megs15:30
Riddellah but compressed figure is what we want15:30
Riddelland I don't think we're oversized worse than ubuntu desktop right now so not a top priority15:30
shadeslayeragreed15:30
shadeslayer699M    /usr/share/doc/15:31
shadeslayer@_@15:31
Riddellthat's all packages and people have looked at the before so much of it is symlinks now15:31
RiddellI expect docs compress a lot too15:32
shadeslayer68M     /usr/share/doc/kde/ are KDE Docs15:32
shadeslayeryeah15:32
shadeslayer/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/fr/kubuntu/communication ... now why do I have french docs installed :P15:32
Riddelland you can't remove it entirely it contains essential things like licences and I expect more that is useful15:32
Riddellkubuntu-docs has all languages15:33
shadeslayerRiddell: KDevelop with docs uploaded to https://launchpad.net/~rohangarg/+archive/experimental/+packages15:36
Riddell(which you could argue should also be split up)15:36
shadeslayerYeah, but then again like you said, they're probably compressed alot, so won't make much of a difference15:37
ScottKAfter the next dbus-python upload gets out of binary New we ought to get some space back on the CD.  It was pulling in python-gobject which in turn pulled in a large stack of stuff.15:56
Riddellthanks for looking into that ScottK 16:34
ScottKYou're welcome.16:34
shadeslayerKDevelop PHP seems to be broken16:37
shadeslayerhttp://paste.kde.org/187880/16:37
shadeslayerApparently there's a new release of KDevelop pg Qt ...16:47
Riddellshadeslayer: ah well discoverred16:48
shadeslayer+               if (ch & 0x80)16:50
shadeslayerO_O16:50
Riddell?16:51
shadeslayerwho writes chars in hex16:51
yofelwhy not? ^^16:53
shadeslayerbut ... why is it required to write chars in hex?16:53
shadeslayerI mean, isn't that the job of the compiler/assembler16:53
* ScottK grumbles about the lazy youth of today.16:54
KRFshadeslayer: because binary format is even less readable16:54
shadeslayerhaha16:55
shadeslayerScottK: it's more about convention than laziness ... I've written in Assembly, it's just not the convention these days16:55
shadeslayerI mean, isn't that why compilers/assemblers were written16:56
shadeslayerNo more crappy closed source javah in archives \o/16:58
Riddellshadeslayer: what's that?16:59
shadeslayer"Java packages in Partner archive to be removed on 2012-02-16 "16:59
shadeslayerThe announcement was made quite some while ago to remove those packages, they're removing them today17:00
Riddellah Oracle fallout17:00
micahgshadeslayer: only because we can't update it, and they're being removed next month17:00
shadeslayeryep17:00
shadeslayerdarn, I read that as 2012-011617:01
shadeslayermicahg: Heh, omgubuntu had a really flamebait title for the announcement17:01
micahgdid they do another one?17:02
shadeslayernope, just the one17:02
ScottKshadeslayer: Unfortunately those java packages are still the only ones that work with some things.17:02
shadeslayerScottK: yeah, but maybe this will push people who wrote those things to make them work with the openjdk libs17:03
Riddellhmm only if they care about ubuntu users17:03
ScottKMy wife recently took an online course and they had some proprietary online/video tool she had to use.  The only way I got it working involved those java packages and the use of alien on the .rpms they provided.  It was not fun.17:04
ScottK(Interestingly enough the proprietary client also had an embedded copy of Qt 4.6.5)17:04
Riddelljava and qt in the same programme?  weird17:04
shadeslayerScottK: Yeah, I find Qt in quite alot of games now a days, like Crysis had Qt for networking and stuff17:04
Riddellit's taking over the world!17:05
Riddellwe just have to hope nokia can make a decent business model of it :)17:05
ScottKDon't worry, Elops will screw it up.17:05
shadeslayer^^17:05
shadeslayerRead the news that they sold 450 Patents?17:05
Riddellach they have plans but they're not saying and nothing is certain17:06
shadeslayerMostly on GSM tech ... they earned loads of royalty on those, but then went ahead and sold them for a lump sum to a patent troll17:06
shadeslayerkdev-pg-qt is up as well now17:06
Riddellrequest for cmake for those looking for things to package http://paste.kde.org/187898/17:08
Riddellname rings a bell he's probably important17:08
yofelshadeslayer: moment: openjdk-6 works with most things these days, it's mostly icedtea that fails17:08
shadeslayericedtea is the java plugin for FF right?17:09
yofelthe web plugin, right17:09
shadeslayerIIRC my GSM/CDMA/IP Networks lectures are served by Ericsson use a Java client as well17:13
shadeslayeraaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh17:22
shadeslayer"Start in 10 hours"17:22
shadeslayersigh, afiestas has still to send me his bluetooth app17:26
shadeslayerRiddell: looking at cmake, although I doubt I'll be able to do much since it's something I've ever touched17:28
shadeslayerbah, tests failed17:43
fregldebfx: the patch looks harmless to me, might be that I messed up the merge somewhere17:45
cndScottK, Riddell: upstream xi refresh merge proposal: https://code.launchpad.net/~chasedouglas/kubuntu-packaging/qt-upstream-xi/+merge/8891218:08
shadeslayerthis is weird, When building cmake via the pbuilder, it fails, but when I restart the build from within the shell, without any modifications, it builds fine18:23
yofeltry building without parallal?18:24
yofel*parallel18:24
shadeslayeryofel: one of the tests times out, and I've added a patch to increase the time out period18:25
yofelah18:25
shadeslayerShould I just upload to a PPA to see what happens?18:26
yofeltry it, I've had cases like that in the past too18:31
shadeslayerUploading to ninjas to see what happens18:32
ScottKcnd: I'm not technically competent to give it a correct reivew.  I'd ask fabo.18:47
cndok, fabo: can you review https://code.launchpad.net/~chasedouglas/kubuntu-packaging/qt-upstream-xi ?18:47
cndtbh, not much has changed since the previous patch18:47
cndI'd be happy to have a chat to run through the changes with whoever feels comfortable doing so18:48
Riddellcnd: what sort of review does it need?19:13
cndRiddell, whatever review is needed to get it in the package :)19:13
Riddellcalligra main only happy, now need to wait for arm to finish to know if it is arm happy19:13
cndRiddell, it works on my machines19:13
Riddellcnd: normally I'd love to look over the code but I think my brain might not be up to it just now, I can build the package and check for binary incompatibility19:14
cndRiddell, if that's all you need to approve and merge, then that's fine with me :)19:14
cndI just don't have commit rights for kubuntu-packagers19:15
Riddellhaving you testing it on hardware is a good check too, I assume you've done that19:15
cndoh wait, I'm an indirect member of the team because I'm a core-dev19:15
cndRiddell, I've tested it on armel and amd6419:15
shadeslayeryay, CMake built19:15
ScottKRiddell: Is your Umbrello GSoC contributor still active?  It would be very nice if Umbrello would support sysml (see http://www.sysml.org/) so I can get out of the twisty, turny java/gtk2 maze I'm currently stuck in.19:15
shadeslayerRiddell: can  you upload cmake from ninjas?19:16
cndRiddell, I guess I should ask if I need to have it reviewed, since I can merge it directly into the packaging branch myself?19:16
Riddellcnd: then go for it if you want, just check for binary compatibility19:17
cndRiddell, here's what I propose:19:17
RiddellScottK: sadly not although there's been a bit of activity on it recently so a wishlist bug might we worth the effort19:17
cnd1. merge the change19:17
cnd2. debcommit -r && dch -r19:17
ScottKRiddell: Thanks.  I'll file it.19:17
cnd3. upload to ppa:canonical-x/x-staging19:17
cndis that ok?19:17
Riddellcnd: that's good yes19:18
cndalright19:18
Riddellshadeslayer: as in you already packaged it and tested it and it's all good so I should check and upload it?19:18
cndwe should have some binaries built in the next day or so19:18
shadeslayerUhh ... did not test, one sec19:18
Riddellshadeslayer: see if you can compile a kde app with it19:19
shadeslayerYep19:19
shadeslayerWill do, one sec19:19
ScottKRiddell: Done.  KDE Bug 291803.19:23
ubottuKDE bug 291803 in general "Sysml support in Umbrello would be really nice" [Wishlist,Unconfirmed] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29180319:23
shadeslayerRiddell: everything seems to be fine19:32
Riddellshadeslayer: cool, I'll look if over in a bit and upload19:37
shadeslayersure19:37
Riddellshadeslayer: or just apply for kubuntu-dev and do it :)19:37
shadeslayer^_^19:38
shadeslayerRiddell: Will apply after the 25th19:38
shadeslayerlast exam on 25th ... so gives me more time to work on my application 19:38
Riddell25th?  you're planning a big burns night and want to wait until after that?  I didn't know you'd taken to these scottish traditions so enthusiastically19:39
shadeslayerhahah :D19:39
Riddelloh exams, no haggis there then19:39
shadeslayersadly no :(19:39
shadeslayerRiddell: Since I'm a vegetarian, no haggis, ever19:40
Riddelloh you get vegetarian haggis19:41
Riddellit means they only feed grass to the haggises and no cows19:41
shadeslayer"Since the 1960s various Scottish shops and manufacturers have created vegetarian haggis for those who do not eat meat. These substitute various pulses and vegetables for the meat in the dish."19:41
shadeslayerlol19:41
shadeslayerWikipedia says otherwise, but then wikipedia wouldn't know more than someone who actually lives there would it now, silly wikipedia :P19:42
shadeslayerRiddell: Might come to the UK in july'ish19:43
yofelwhat's in july?19:44
shadeslayeryofel: I get out of college19:44
shadeslayer:>19:44
yofel:D19:44
shadeslayerPlanning a vacation after my last set of exams in mid july19:44
Riddellshadeslayer: I expect I'll still have a spare room then if you want to stay in one of the UK's classier countries19:44
shadeslayerRiddell: how far is scotland from london anyway? 6-8 hours ? more? less?19:45
Riddell4.5 hour train19:46
Riddelllondon to edinburgh19:46
macouk is tiny19:46
macodang19:46
shadeslayerAwesome19:46
shadeslayermaco: that's what I thought as well19:46
shadeslayerTook me 3 hours from New Ark to Orlando when I went to UDS N19:46
maco6-8h sounded reasonable to me! thats how far dc->pittsburgh is (well thats definitely 8, maybe more if delays)19:46
macoi was on the train 19h going to orlando19:47
Riddellmaco: it may fit into a the small corner of the US but we like not spending 19hours on a train to go somewhere :)19:47
yofel8h by train is what it'll take me worst case to get from here to berlin, and UK is smaller than that19:48
shadeslayerPretty much the same here in India as well, 19 - 72 hour train to any of the metropolitan cities depending on the destination19:48
macotrains arent allowed to go as fast as cars in the US19:48
yofelouch19:48
Riddell(talking about the UK when discussing land masses makes little sence since it covers two of them)19:48
maco8h train ride = 4h car ride19:49
macoRiddell: fine, GB19:49
Riddellmaco: "8h train ride = 4h car ride" that must be US measurements?19:51
shadeslayerlol19:51
macolike i said, trains arent allowed to go as fast as cars here19:51
macofrom my place to my mum's is 8h by train, 4h by car, and 1h by plane19:52
Riddellaren't allowed?19:52
macoso they dont fall off the tracks19:52
Riddellgosh and we think our trains are bad :)19:52
maconot as though theyve been updated in the last 100 years19:52
macomax speed for most of the US is 55mph for trains, iirc19:53
Riddellwow19:53
macomax speed for cars in .. well at least in the states between here and mum's house... is 65mph19:53
yofeluhm... what's the point in not having high speed trains in such a huge country o.O?19:53
macoyofel: it would cost money to build them19:53
yofel...19:53
macomoney that COULD be going to tax breaks for the rich, building bigger highways, tax breaks for car manufacturers...19:53
yofeltrue19:54
maco...bailing out banks19:54
yofelwell, last is true for europe too ^^19:54
yofeldon't you have a private rail company?19:54
shadeslayerI like how the US can just print a currency that is valued internationally 19:55
macoyofel: Amtrak is the ONLY passenger rail company in the country, afaik. they dont own their own rails19:55
macothey rent time on the rails from the freight companies19:55
yofelah19:55
yofelthen again, the actual tracks are government owned here too19:55
Riddellso the rails are private but the trains aren't?19:56
macoif a freighter needs to get through to make a delivery, the amtrak train is expected to pull off onto a side rail and let the freighter catch up and pass before continuing19:56
macomuch more important that the cars being shipped by rail arrive on time to their destination than the people :)19:57
macoRiddell: the trains are private...19:57
macoi think...19:57
macojust a private monopoly19:57
shadeslayerWell when you let cars go faster than trains, that's what happens19:58
Riddelloh I thought amtrack was government owned19:58
macothere's a high speed rail line between dc & nyc, but that's it19:58
macohmm lemme see...19:58
macoah you're right, it is gov-owned19:58
Riddellfor some definition of high speed, I've done that journey and it didn't seem very fast19:58
shadeslayerwendar: what are you doing with your Transformer? :P19:59
macoit goes up to 150mph in that part, though wikipedia says parts of that corridor are limited to 100mph19:59
macoRiddell: wikipedia says dc/nyc is 2h 48min. ... thats an hour less than by car20:00
ScottKAmtrak is not European high speed.20:06
