Darkwinghow stable is Pangolin at this point?04:46
ScottKPrecise, apparently.04:48
Darkwinghehehe04:51
DarkwingI normally install at Alpha204:52
DarkwingI'll run the live test and see how it's running.04:52
DarkwingOnce I'm done backing up my system. :)04:52
DarkwingI need to get with you Scott on what all we do with QA for Kubuntu.04:53
Darkwingapachelogger: ping04:53
Darkwingoh wait... it's like 4a there.04:53
ScottKWe just upload stuff and then see if people complain, right?04:56
ScottKNo, not here, it's just going on midnight.04:57
ScottKOh, apachelogger, More like 5 or 6.04:57
DarkwingLOL04:57
DarkwingYeah... we shoudl prolly do something more then upload and react.04:58
ScottKYou should find us some QA and bug triaging minions.04:59
DarkwingYeah. I should. Seeing that all I do is community and docs.05:00
DarkwingWould be good for me to get deeper in something.05:00
ScottKSeems like QA/triage would be good places to go from there.05:01
ScottKISO testing is the thing this week.05:01
DarkwingYeah, I saw that. I'm going to start testing.05:01
DarkwingI need to get a good system for ISO testing.05:02
DarkwingNot computer system but, work style system05:02
DarkwingI must say... 12.04 and KDE 4.8 is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet06:46
DarkwingIt feels more polished and snappy06:47
Darkwinghave a couple of bugs to file with my ISO test though.06:47

shadeslayerScottK: can you let telepathy-qt4 out of new? thanks09:39
Riddellshadeslayer: let me do that09:40
shadeslayerokay :)09:40
Riddellshadeslayer: accepted09:45
Riddellshadeslayer: what's your next move?09:45
shadeslayer\o/09:45
shadeslayerRiddell: Looking at outdated debian packaging and seeing what can be done09:46
shadeslayer http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/   pkg-kde/kde-extras/telepathy-kde/*09:46
Riddellshadeslayer: "February 16th" "FeatureFreeze" there's your deadline to have it in main and replace kopete! (which may or may not be suitable)09:48
shadeslayer:D09:48
RiddellI wonder if we can do kubuntu active by then too.  probably not.09:49
shadeslayerRiddell: are we following ubuntu in the ISO size?09:49
Riddellshadeslayer: that needs a decision too.  I would like to stay under 700MB but it needs some serious work and I might not be up to that09:49
Riddellalthough we have until the end of april to do that09:49
shadeslayerLikewise, but then if we go over 700 MB, then we can have both kopete and Telepathy and then kick kopete out in the next cycle09:50
Riddellno, that's a very un-ubuntu thing to do09:50
shadeslayeruh, okay09:50
Riddellbest programme for the function is the ubuntu thing to do09:50
RiddellI made that mistake with juk and amarok in the first release :)09:50
shadeslayer:)09:50
shadeslayerRiddell: okay, will try and meet deadline09:50
Riddellshadeslayer: it doesn't have to be bug free but it we should make that decision by FF09:51
shadeslayeryup09:51
shadeslayerRiddell: any idea how long it'll take to publish the tp-qt4 binaries?10:19
Riddellshadeslayer: an hour or two?10:23
Riddellit's on a cron job and takes < an hour to run10:24
shadeslayerhmm10:24
shadeslayertime for battlestar galactica then :D10:25

ubottuTo test your hardware, you can use the packages memtest86+ (for memory, can be started from the !GRUB boot menu), smartmontools (for hard drives), cpuburn (which MIGHT damage your processor if cooling is not adequate!). Additionally, lm-sensors can be useful to monitor temperatures and fan speeds - See also !benchmark10:32

RiddellISOs to be tested ^^10:33
RiddellTm_T: can you add James1479 to that, assuming he wants on ?10:33
Riddelloh he's on already, never mind10:33
shadeslayerwill try tonight, assuming the ISO is under 700 Megs10:33
Riddellshadeslayer: it's not10:34
shadeslayerbleh, can't test then :(10:34
Riddellshadeslayer: don't you have writable DVDs or USB pens?10:34
shadeslayercan't boot a USB Pendrive on my MBP, I'll try and arrange a re writable DVD this weekend10:35
Riddellthis weekend will be too late for alpha 2 but worth doing for future testing10:36
agateauRiddell: hi, how do I get patches in qtcreator? do I have to push them to the git packaging branch?11:09
debfxagateau: you can throw them at my direction. I want to update it to 2.4.1 anyway.11:16
debfxonly the debian package lives in that git branch11:17
agateaudebfx: ok great. is there an lp branch for the ubuntu package?11:17
debfxagateau: no11:20

James147Riddell: sure11:43
* James147 wonders if dpkg/apt-get supports pre-install/upgrade hooks of some sort...11:45
agateauRiddell: I say there is a git packaging branch based on the Vcs-Git field in debian/control12:06
Riddellthat'll be debian, least hassle way it to just fix it in ubuntu and send diff to debian by bug tracker12:06
Riddellunless debian packager is fabo 12:06

Yuriy__got leaky konqueror again with 4.8. anything to check before I kill it?14:51
RiddellYuriy__: no, you're at the "tell upstream" stage14:52
Riddellbug report might be best14:53
Riddellsomeone with time and knowledge would use valgrind 14:53
Riddellgreyback: how did your dev week talk go yesterday?14:55
greybackRiddell: I think it went ok. It's a hard sell after the exciting UbuntuTV talk, but I got some good questions and people seemed interested, so all good I hope14:57
Riddellgreyback: nice, sorry I missed it, I'll read the logs14:57
Yuriy__that's odd, I seem to have 4.8 RC214:58
greybackRiddell: no worries. I'm trying to write up a blog post about it now, which will be pretty similar ;)14:58
RiddellYuriy__: from Help -> About KDE?14:59
Yuriy__yeah14:59
RiddellI did a CD install now and it says 4.8.0014:59
Yuriy__packages are 4.8.0-0ubuntu1~oneiric1~ppa1, but about says 4.7.97 (4.8 RC2)15:00
RiddellYuriy__: oh oneiric?15:00
Yuriy__yeah15:00
Riddellyou don't have something installed and up to date?15:00
RiddellI think I would have noticed an issue like that, but now I'm on precise15:01
Riddelloh good virtualbox works again on precise, that'll help testing15:01
Yuriy__version prolem only appears in konqueror. i'll log out to make sure I don't have something running out of date15:03
Yuriy__oh even in konqueror "About konqueror" and "about KDE" show different versions15:05
Riddellkonq has its own version no15:05
RiddellYuriy__: maybe you are discovering that konq is badly maintained now15:06

Yuriy__oh maybe I needed to click save as default15:12
Yuriy__nope that didn't do it15:14
Yuriy__could the verson thing be a packaging bug or should I just report it upstream?15:17
RiddellYuriy__: more likely upstream15:18
QuintasanHiho15:18
Riddellmaybe it's a case of konq being compiled against old kdelibs15:18
Riddelllet me see15:18
RiddellYuriy__: precise About Konqueror says 4.8.0 so I think my theory is correct15:19

Darkwinghttp://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigeuner18:27
Darkwingit doesnt seem to mean what it used to.18:28
ScottKI've asked a native German speaker for an opinion.18:30
Riddell18:30 < Sho_> Riddell: It's not really a racial slur in everyday colloquial use, so not really comparable to "nigger", but  it is a word with a storied history that may be worth avoiding in a translation indeed18:34
Riddellworth fixing if we can find a better translation18:34
micahgupstream is discussing on their i18n list18:34
Darkwingtag it reported and discussions upstream and close it in LP.18:37
yofelDarkwing: re Q/A, we still need triaging of our bugs - upstream bugs should go upstream ofc.18:37
yofelas for the translation Sho is pretty much right, although the interpretation depends on where you live too and how it's being used in that region18:38
Riddellapparantly it's a translation for the game "gypsy"18:38
yofelok, I would've translated that the same on first guess18:38
Darkwingyofel: im trying to find a way to give guidance on lp on all of our packages to report upstream18:39
Darkwingmuch like ubiquity dous when you report there18:39
yofelDarkwing: you know of https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Responses ?18:40
yofelRiddell: and as I thought, "Zigeuner" is the correct german translation for "gypsy"18:40
yofelso I tend to agree with the translator, but let's see what they decide18:41
ScottKRiddell: Here's what I got when I asked: "I think free speech is important, but in the German social context the term "Zigeuner" clearly is a vehicle of negative prejudice against the Roma people, and Roma typically find it offensive. I just looked at the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and it seems that this should not be allowed. Then again, the game could be satire of the same mindset that likes to use the term "Zigeuner", and then I could see having18:42
ScottK it. I mean, it could be a parody of that mindset. But it probably isn't. I have no idea if "Zigeuner" is a racial slur, because technically there are no races within Homo sapiens, but most people don't get that, so it might still be a racial slur in an imaginary sense. Not much more I can say about it."18:42
Riddella game name isn't a suitable place for satire18:45
DarkwingThen again, much like Scotch Tape could be a racial slur in a term. (See Riddell, I remembered)18:45
yofelDarkwing: and just by the way, if you plan on doing QA, it would be worth to join #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-testing just so you get to know the other qa folks18:45
RiddellDarkwing: yes but that doesn't have such social problems historically, scots were never massacred by a fascist government18:45
yofelif you plan to do triaging you should eventually get into ubuntu bug control anyway18:45
DarkwingRiddell: True,18:45
Darkwingyofel: Thanks.18:46
Darkwingyofel: I think what apachelogger and I had talked about was getting Kubuntu users to file all bugs upstream then handpicking the ones that belonged in LP.18:46
yofelI'm not sure if the upstream triagers will like that18:47
Darkwing99.9% of our bugs belong upstream.18:47
yofelnot that much, but it's still the question on how you'll get them to file them upstream18:48
yofelwe already have all kde bug reporting options on18:49
debfxwhy don't we let the german ubuntu translation team deal with that bug?18:49
debfxwe (as in packagers) don't even have the permission to change translations18:49
ScottKdebfx: Because generally the last thing we want to be doing is encouraging Ubuntu translators to "Fix" KDE translations.18:50
yofelDarkwing: sure, we *could* add an apport hook to all packages that tells them to go upstream, but I'm not sure if that's something we want to maintain18:50
Darkwingyofel: That's why I was trying to figure something out at the LP level18:51
ScottKApport shouldn't be firing on KDE apps anyway.18:51
yofelwell, it will still work if people run like 'ubuntu-bug plasma-desktop' as they're used from ubuntu18:52
debfxScottK: then add a comment saying just that to the bug and reassign it18:54
ScottKI think we ought to figure out what we want and then if upstream declines to fix it, patch i18n.18:55
DarkwingI agree... 18:56
RiddellScottK: hopefully sho has a plan to come up with an answer18:58
ScottKYes.18:58
BluesKajanyone having issues with slow loading of files , when ssh'd into a lan or remote pc ?19:02
BluesKajsfpt is much faster , which shouldn't be19:03

BluesKaj the Lan pc is also on 12.04 and something else came down the pipe to slow it down19:14

apacheloggerthe coc defines inter-community relationships19:22

apacheloggerxsettings ^^21:04
apacheloggersingle most funny thing ever invented21:04
apacheloggerright after sl maybe21:04
yofelI don't particulary like that solution, but as long as I don't know what lubuntu and xubuntu do it's better than the ini file21:05
* yofel pokes in #xubuntu-devel21:07
rdieteryofel: we/fedora went with using xsettings-kde as the least bad solution too.  in a perfect world, there's be a *lot* more harmonizing between oxygen-gtk*, xsettings-kde, kcm-gtk (some day maybe).21:10
yofelmy problem with xsettings is that it doesn't make a difference between gtk2 and 3. But yeah, currently it might be the best solution21:12
rdieterthe non-difference is gnome's problem.  they do not distingish gtk2/gtk3 :(21:12
debfxyofel: xfce4-settings seems to contain an xsettings daemon21:18
yofelk, guess we'll go with that then21:19
debfxrdieter: what else does xsettings-kde do? or have you disabled the other parts?21:19
rdieterdebfx: I'm not intimately familiar with it (Kevin_Kofler is our goto guy).  I believe it can share preferences for fonts, color scheme, icon theme too, probably more.21:22
debfxok, let's hope it doesn't make things worse21:32
debfxScottK, Riddell: oxygen gtk3 is in the NEW queue in case you have some time to review it21:33
apacheloggeryofel: my problem with xsettings is that it is xsettings21:52
apacheloggernow what if we switch to wayland21:53
yofelwell, problem is that gnome really doesn't care about how well gtk is configurable outside of gnome21:56
yofelthey provided an ini file and think it's sufficient21:57
apacheloggeryofel: why is it not?22:07
apacheloggerwe could always haxx0r the GTK ^^22:07
yofelwell, feel free to add GTK3_RC_FILES. I'm not good enough at C for that22:07

apacheloggerI was more thinking along sane KDE integration :P22:08
apacheloggerenvrionment is weird anyway22:08
yofelwell, true22:08
apacheloggeryofel: but really, why do we need that env var anyway?22:08
apacheloggerlike why do we not change the ini?22:08
yofeldunno. I mean I'm fine with the ini file. But that'll potentially mess with other dektop environments which we haven't done till now22:09
yofelI haven't had time to test this enough yet22:09
apacheloggerwell22:09
apacheloggerdoes one not have to do the same thing when Qt should use the GTK compatibiltiy theme engine thing?22:09
yofelthe ini file would be less messy than xsettings IMO, but will require a bit of a kcm-gtk rewrite22:10
apacheloggerQString QGuiPlatformPlugin::styleName()22:11
apacheloggeroh22:11
apacheloggerperhaps Qt actually autoswitches to GTK style in a gnome session22:11
apacheloggersmart22:11
* apachelogger actually thought of a similar technique for GTK22:11
yofelwell, Qt does it properly. Gtk does not -.-22:12
apacheloggerwell, that would not be too difficult22:12
apacheloggergetenv("DESKTOP_SESSION") ... strcmp(,"KDE") ... read ~/.kgtkrc ... set theme engine accordingly22:13
