Riddell344.714 GB of downloads from my mirror, which is listed 5th00:19
nixternalnice00:28
nixternali have leached big time from fermilab over the past couple of days. trying to see if i can change the graphs on their mirror with all of my syncing and downloading00:28
afiestaswould be possible to make Kubuntu releases in a different date than Ubuntu's ?00:49
micahgafiestas: why would you want to do that?01:11
afiestasmicahg: today news are about Ubuntu not Kubuntu01:11
afiestasI'd like to avoid that for example01:11
afiestasalso we could (if we want) adjust teh release time to something that syncs better with KDE01:12
afiestasthough current timing is ok in that regart I think01:12
micahgafiestas: well, the main issue would be the archive freezes affect everyone equally, so releasing at a different time becomes problematic, I think as Kubuntu grows in popularity and starts to add it owns features as well, I think it should be able to generate its own press even with the same release day01:14
micahgs/it owns/its own/01:14
afiestasubuntu is a start too big to eclipse right now01:15
micahgwell, IMHO, I don't think you have to eclipse Ubuntu, just be big enough to be news worthy in your own right01:16
afiestasKubuntu is news worthy in its own right, you can see it by bluesystem sponsoring01:18
afiestasbut as it is right now, Kubuntu is considered Ubuntu + KDE so by making a new for Ubuntu you also "cover"kubuntu01:18
micahgwell, that could just mean they see the potential there and want to foster it01:19
micahgright, that's exactly what it is now as the project decided to be as close to upstream as possible due to resource limitations01:19
afiestasI don't think be clsoe to upstream is a bad thing01:20
micahgnot at all :)01:20
afiestasmaybe a risky  mvoe but a good one would be release 1 month after KDE stable releases01:22
afiestasshipping .101:22
afiestasrisky because of testability time, but in the other hand kde software is getting more stable01:22
micahgno, that was a disaster IIRC with maverick01:22
afiestasmaverick is how many kde versions ago?01:24
afiestasa lot xD01:24
micahgwell, FTR, I don't have any official say in Kubuntu, I just help out when I can01:24
afiestasneither do i01:25
yuriycongratulations on the release everyone!!02:10
ScottKafiestas: We've had releases where due to the combined KDE and Ubuntu release schedule we shipped 4.x.1.  I've liked 4.x.2 based releases a lot better.02:43
* ScottK waves to yuriy.02:43
ScottKafiestas: From a strictly mechincal point of view it would be very close to impossible to release on a different day than Ubuntu.  02:53

Tm_Tvorian: you seem to suggest that JR would be leaving us (when he's not) https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2012-April/006036.html05:47
* micahg should probably subscribe to that list05:47
TeLLuSInteresting. In the new Muon it is no longer possible to see the package-names that will update or install only the short description..   After installation you can se it by looking at the History...05:59
artnayis there something wrong with the torrents? yesterday I downloaded both 32 and 64 bit torrents from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/precise/release/desktop/ - now they're gone and torrent.ubuntu.com gives me "not authorized"06:13

yofelRiddell, apol: you *can* abort pending builds now (just not pending recipe builds)16:45
yofelas long as you have the permissions for that archive16:45
Riddelloh interesting16:45
Riddellyofel: but why would you want to?16:45
Riddellbuildds being in limited supply is an issue sometimes especially on arm16:46

ScottKI know there was an issue with the Ubuntu torrents discovered after yesterday's release.  I'd ask in #ubuntu-release and see who answers.17:51
claydohok thanks17:51
shadeslayerCongrats on the release!18:23
Riddelland thanks for your help shadeslayer 18:26
shadeslayerpfftt ... I did some really trivial stuff18:27
shadeslayeryou and yofel did most of the heavy lifting18:27
BluesKajshadeslayer, kmail could use some attention ...hint hint :)18:30
shadeslayer:D18:30
jussiRiddell: I just got the kmix crash with skype again - just randomly crash without me doing anything, only condition that i noticed was that I was on a call at the time. and video does some strange things, get some green lines and noise on the video, making it unwatchable. Installing debug symbols now to report the bug18:36

ryanakcaHmm, I've received an email from someone wanting to donate to Kubuntu and suggesting the addition of a Donate button to the website. IIRC, we don't have said button because of the legal and financial headache it would cause?18:47
Riddellryanakca: mostly because we have nowhere to donate to18:49
Riddellbut I'll give him my bank account details if he really wants :)18:49
jussiryanakca: yeah, we would need some foundation and other strange organisational stuff if I understand correct18:49
Riddellactually maybe it can go in the account blue systems is setting up for us (just a brainstorm)18:49
* ryanakca nods18:50
Riddellryanakca: so tell him thanks much and come back in a couple of months18:50
ryanakcaRiddell: Will do.18:51
* BluesKaj wonders if canonical is going to retain the "Kubuntu Trademark", so we can rid of these "obscure animal handles " :)18:51
jussiI like the animals!18:52
ScottKBluesKaj: re the animals: We're still part of the Ubuntu project and so things like that aren't going to change.18:53
BluesKajScottK, what about Blue Systems , maybe thay have other ideas 18:54
ScottKBluesKaj: It doesn't matter.  It's part of how development works in Ubuntu.18:55
ScottKKubuntu has always been and will still be community led.18:55
ScottKThe fact that one person is changing employers doesn't affect that.18:55
BluesKajled by the animals :)18:55
maco*cough*2*cough*18:56
Riddellmaco: oh you're changing too?  yay :)18:56
macoi thought it was you and agateau_18:57
macoyou are a person. agateau_ is a person. a + a = 2!18:57
jussiRiddell: there is like a million reports about kmix crashing... :/18:58
ScottKmaco: agateau_ wasn't a Kubuntu developer, so he's a bonus.18:58
ScottKIt's one moved and one gained.18:58
macoScottK: he's not part of ~kubuntu-dev?18:58
ScottKNo and he was part of DX, not the distro team.18:58
macoi knew he wasnt distro team18:59
Riddelljussi: I know, it's nasty, but meh upstream18:59
macobut i thought he was ~k-dev18:59
Riddelljussi: I have a hunch it didn't crash in 4.8.0 so you could look at tracking down 4.8.0 and verifying if that makes the crash go away18:59
ScottKEven if he was, Kubuntu development was not part of his job.18:59
macoi know18:59
macobut its still two people changing jobs!18:59
ScottKTrue.18:59
ScottKRiddell: Kmix is allegedly fixed for 4.8.3.  If it's bad enough should be look at packaging a snapshot of just kmix for an SRU?19:00
ScottKI've only had one crash here, so I'm not sure how widespread this is (it's not everyone).19:00
RiddellScottK: that would be a better way yes19:01
yofelsnapshot from where? the repositories are broken19:01
yofeli.e. read-only19:01
RiddellScottK: it's pretty widespread I'm feeling19:01
yofelah, that was only for trunk, nvm me19:03
