yofelBarkingFish: commit message was: fix use-after-free bug in my patch00:00
Kurdistanyofel, thats great. :)00:00
BarkingFishhm. I hadn't spotted anything wrong, seriously. Guess I need to brush up a bit.00:00
yofelI've looked at it, but it's not easy to read a diff of a diff00:00
BarkingFish0.o00:01
BarkingFishI'll take your word for it :)00:01
Kurdistan:) why when apply a patch/diff some time output is garbage? 00:02
BarkingFishI have no idea. However, I do know it's just gone midnight here, so I'm gonna go finish knitting my scarf and go to bed.  See you guys tomorrow, sorry for the short stay but I'm tired.00:03

Kurdistanyofel, I can make package, but how if the thing I wanted to build does not have debian folder01:14
Kurdistanwith all neccesery stuff01:14
yofelrunning 'dh_make' will make an intial folder with the files in it, but you'll still need to know how to make it work in the end01:15
Kurdistanyofel, thats the thing.01:16
Kurdistanbecause normally when I take from source01:16
KurdistanI have already debian folder and I know how to modify to get it work01:17

Kurdistanyofel, :) I will bing you tomorrow. have nice sleep.01:18
yofeldh_make will add the files not totally empty, but still not in a state that works out of the box I think01:18
yofel+ it adds a lot of files that you won't need01:18
Kurdistanyofel, okey :) I will chatt with you about this tomorrow.01:19

debfxyay I can logout again11:15
debfxthanks yofel for sharing that workaround :)11:16
yofelsure :)11:16
debfxwe definitely need to enable that11:17
yofelas apachelogger said, enabling that shortly before final freeze is probably best11:18
yofelalthough I would turn it off again once Q opens up11:18
debfxit has been broken for a few releases so imho there is no point in waiting11:42

KurdistanBluesKaj, morning.13:31
BluesKajhi Kurdistan13:31
Kurdistannm widget buttons looks good now13:31
Kurdistan:) backport updates yesterday fixed it.13:32
BluesKajok, no NM in my system , so I din't know the widget was broken 13:33
KurdistanBluesKaj, what are you using?13:33
Kurdistankde network manager?13:33
yofelhe's not even using network manager13:34
BluesKaj no, /etc/network/interfaces file and /etc/resolv.conf 13:34
yofelme neither on my desktop13:34
KurdistanBluesKaj, server?13:34
BluesKajKurdistan,  there's no need for NM on an ethernet connection , well mostly 13:35
KurdistanBluesKaj, I see.13:35
KurdistanI am using laptop :).13:35
BluesKajok , if you have any desktop ethernet nics then this example is one of the tutorials I used,  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/13:38
apacheloggerdebfx, yofel: turning it on now will potentially prevent more annoying bug reports to the broken products13:40
BluesKajyofel,  I see /etc/resolv.conf is now overwritten by /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head ... why the change? , altho i found a workaround by adding my dns settings to the "head" file which in turn transfers them to /etc/resolv.conf 13:47
debfxthe potential of it being fixed is very minimal however13:47
KurdistanBluesKaj, I like the widget.13:48
yofelBluesKaj: from what I read about it, ubuntu is trying to unity resolv.conf editing and now uses resolvconf by default13:48
yofelthat's all I know13:48
yofels/unity/unify13:48
BluesKajKurdistan,  well, to each his own :) 13:48
BluesKajyofel,  it does prevent ppl from screwing up their resolv.conf thereby losing their internet connection , it makes some sense alright13:51
Kurdistanwhy is kmail always buggy when I try?13:56
KurdistanI feel kubuntu could change out some qt stuff for like thunderbird13:57
Kurdistanand firefox instead of rekonq13:57
yofelno, we discussed that often enough. For 12.04 we're not switching anything.13:59
Kurdistanyofel, okey. still kmail have always been buggy.14:05
Kurdistankmail if it was not buggy it is really good.14:05
yofelno, it has been buggy since it started using akonadi to be precise14:05
yofelkmail1 was great14:06
Kurdistanyofel, I started with kde in real with kde 4.6.514:06
Kurdistanso I am not so :) well known how it was before14:06
yofeldoing LTS upgrade testing with kdepim is going to be so not funny...14:06
Kurdistanyofel, :).14:08
* BluesKaj avoids kmail/kontact and disables akonadi ..have no need for it since my ISP contracted my email service out to hotmail anyway so I just use webmils like bell mail and gmail14:21
BluesKajkrusader does for me what nepomuk does for ohers , but it's not as invasiv14:22
BluesKajinvasive14:23
apacheloggerdebfx: the more annoyance the higher the likelyhood gets :)14:31
BluesKajfor those of you whao are having GPG key errors , here's a neat little app/ppa that will help get the missing keys a rid you of the error messages ..it's probly been posted befoe but I think it needs reposting , http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/automatically-import-all-missing.html 14:43

apacheloggerawesome14:58
ScottKdebfx: I've been using them since at least maverick with no issue.  Unless someone has an alternative solution, I think it's likely a better default because the password change thing is a rather common problem to have.14:58
ScottKBut I'm not sure, which is why I'm glad yofel is going to talk to ossi.14:59
apacheloggerScottK: it can lead to weird issues when external windows/widgets come into play15:01

Tm_T"apply on startup" should be true I suppose17:11

* apachelogger dances in the kitchen20:23
apacheloggeryofel: goto is the single most useful feature of C20:23
apacheloggerparticularly in kstartupconfig, cause as you might have noticed, it is tuned towards performance :P20:24
yofelit saves... what? a tenth of a second?20:25
apacheloggerdepends on why it is used20:26
apacheloggerfor example in my OS I have plenty of goto to work around missing scoped pointers20:26
apacheloggerif you collapse code into one function you almost always have to use goto20:27
apacheloggerotherwise it would become unreadable20:27
