ScottKShould be just stuff going to proposed that affects an image.01:28
micahgScottK: I thought Riddell said that you were trying for i386/amd6401:28
ScottKAre we?  I lost track.01:29
ScottKNot sure the point without 4.4.80.01:29

eagles0513875hey agateau i have an interesting development. i purged kubuntu-desktop using kubuntu-* and it reverted me to the normal kde desktop and the kubuntu-desktop package is  is not even installed so I have no idea how i even have a normal kde desktop06:29

Mamarokeagles0513875: don't remove kubuntu-desktop, that makes no sense08:05
Mamaroksomebody please reword the description of kubuntu-desktop, it is quite misleading and a source of problems to users08:06
ikoniaMamarok: in what way ?08:08
ikoniait's a meta package, it used to be clearly defined as a meta package 08:08
ikoniais it no longer ?08:08
Mamarokthe "it is safe to remove" should be more explicit about what will change for the user, right now it is not clear to the user it will remove stuff08:09
Mamarokit is a meta package, but if you remove it it will remove quite a few things and you will not have all kde core components anymore08:10
Mamarokit should not be removed by the user08:10
ikoniait never used to actually remove anything, when did it start actually having package removal depenencies ?08:10
Mamarokwell, it does08:11
ikoniaI don't doubt it 08:11
Mamarokno ides who changed what, but now it is certainly not something that should be removed08:11
Mamarokidea*08:11
Mamarokand I agree with you, it should not remove anything08:11
ikoniaI wonder if the same is now true of ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop for example08:12
Riddellremoving kubuntu-desktop doesn't remove anything08:12
Riddellbut it does mean you won't get new packages in updates that are needed especially on release upgrades08:13
Riddellwords to describe that are fiddly08:13
MamarokRiddell: well, then this should be said08:13
MamarokRiddell: the easiest is to not say it is safe to remove08:13
Mamarokbut instead: if you remove this package you will no longer get updates for some components needed in release upgrades08:14
Riddellprobably that was there when we had everything depend on it and it got removed if you didn't like one app08:14
Riddellnow a lot of apps are recommends rather than depends08:14
Riddellso I think it'll be safe to just remove that line08:14
Mamarokcurrently we have a lot of users who emoved that and run into problems08:14
Mamarokalso why does it talk about netbook when this is clearly the desktop package?08:15
Mamarokisn't kubuntu-netbook doing the netbook stuff08:16
Mamarokanyway, I need to run to the market, bbl08:17
Riddellkubuntu-netbook is a transitional package, it can be removed08:21
Riddellnuff automation larks, I should get on this 4.9 beta today08:27
Riddelloh and alpha 1 too08:28
eagles0513875Mamarok: well it seems to have fixed a really annoying issue i was having yet i still have fully functioning desktop, granted its not the netbook version, 08:47
eagles0513875Riddell: whats the purpose of having a netbook layout when the normal kde desktop look works just fine and actually imho performs better08:50
RiddellI would disagree08:51

MamarokTue 12th at 8pm shows more attendees11:20
RiddellMamarok: sabdfl added himself and I think it's well worth having him since currently Kubuntu needs some love from canonical management11:25
Mamarokah, right, didn't see that his is missing there11:25
StecchinoUser asks why ubuntu-restricted-extras can't be made a dep of amarok https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30126411:45
ubottuKDE bug 301264 in Playlists/Saved Playlists "Problem with IDs when draging playlist into the qeue" [Major,Resolved: waitingforinfo]11:45
debfxhm building all of kubuntu on a Raspberry Pi... that could take a few years ;)11:46
StecchinoIf amarok is not in the default install, would that be possible?11:46
Stecchinodebfx: why not cross compile?11:46
debfxidk, someone on the kubuntu-devel lists is asking how to do that11:47
Stecchinosetting up a cross compile certainly is not trivial11:48
Stecchinoso compiling on device might make sense11:48
RiddellStecchino: it's kubuntu-restricted-extras he wants and the whole point of the package is it needs to be kept off the CD and in multiverse11:48
StecchinoI believe that need to be done for packaging anyway11:48
StecchinoRiddell: yeah, thought so11:48
Stecchinobut what about in the beta ppa?11:48
RiddellStecchino: he should be prompted to install it when he starts amarok but I don't know how well that works in practice11:49
Stecchinoin any case, I need to fix the bug with restricted-codecs-installer11:49
StecchinoSeems like i broke it11:49
Riddellppa packages should be as close as possible to archive, divergance makes them unmaintainable11:49
StecchinoI C11:51
debfxone of (k)ubuntu's values is to not automatically install non-free software. that should apply to "official" PPAs as well.11:53

eagles0513875hey agateau13:29
apacheloggerI just added a patch to akonadi maildir and broke notes again Oo13:32
eagles0513875apachelogger: sadly its a vicious circle fix one thing to sadly break something else13:36
apacheloggerwell13:36
apacheloggerthe ting is13:36
apacheloggerI fixed notes in another patch already13:36
apacheloggerthe error it spits out should not happen at all13:36
apachelogger*should*13:36
eagles0513875apachelogger: i found out somethign rather interesting to the bug i was experiencing13:42
agateauhey eagles051387513:43
eagles0513875agateau: not sure if you saw my update to the bug but i purged kubuntu-desktop and did kubuntu-* in 2 different purges and i ended up with the standard kde desktop that you would find on a desktop pc13:43
eagles0513875and everything is working just fine oddly enough13:43
agateaueagles0513875: weird13:44
eagles0513875agateau: one thing though that mamarok mentioned earlier is that with out the meta package i dont get any notifications of updates13:45
agateaueagles0513875: this is true13:45
eagles0513875agateau: was about to try and reinstall kubuntu-desktop meta package and see if i stay with the current desktop or the netbook version is reinstalled13:46
ikoniakubuntu-desktop is not the net book meta package13:47
eagles0513875as of right now the standard desktop is rock solid the netbook version isnt. Riddell also mentioned that the kubuntu netbook package is a dummy package if im not mistaken?13:47
ikoniaearlier riddle was saying there was a transitional package for the netbook setup13:47
eagles0513875ikonia: then why was it installed on my system initiall 13:47
ikoniaeagles0513875: it still uses the same base components13:48
eagles0513875so is the kubuntu netbook package granted its transitional still a meta package?13:48
ikoniagranted it's transitional ?13:48
ikoniakubuntu-netbook is a meta package if that's what you are asking13:48
agateaueagles0513875: it has always been a meta package, but it's now deprecated, you can remove it13:49
eagles0513875ok what package should i reinstall to get the netbook desktop back13:50
Mamarokeagles0513875: you do know that this is the -devel channel, do you? Please keep user questions to #kubuntu13:50
ikoniaeagles0513875: join the support channels13:50

apacheloggernegative option?15:53
BluesKajinstalled by default , so I have to disable them if i don't use them 15:54
apacheloggerdon't quite compute15:54
apacheloggerwhat's wrong with kdepim?15:54
apacheloggerif we did not install defaults because people would need to disable them if they don't want it we coud just as well ship a kernel only :P15:55

jussiScottK: ok, thanks for the tip17:55
jussibrb17:55
cndafiestas, you shouldn't need to install utouch, it's a meta package that gives you some developer headers17:55

cndjussi, what are you looking to do?17:55
* afiestas bought an apple touchapd thing, expects to bring multitouch to its better state in kde17:55
afiestascnd: with ubuntu (not kubuintu) I needed it17:55
cndafiestas, you still don't need utouch installed17:56
cndunless you plan on developing with the utouch libraries17:56
afiestasthen, what do I need exactly for the same time?17:56
cndon ubuntu, all the runtime libraries are installed already because they are needed for unity17:56
afiestasbecause wahtever it was it got installed with that metapackage17:56
cndafiestas, I don't really know what it is you're referring to :)17:57
cndwhat functionality did you gain after installing utouch?17:57
afiestaswell, I paired the multitouch apple thing, it didn't did anything, not even scroll with 2 fingers17:57
afiestasinstalled utouch, rebooted, got it working if I remember correctly17:57

shadeslayer...18:00
jussicnd: this is an actual touch screen18:00
cndthat is a fundamental problem with X18:00
shadeslayerI remember that being discussed on ubuntu-devel18:01
shadeslayerto go or not to go for double taps18:01
cndjussi, ok, you should check the output of xinput18:01
jussicnd: could you be more verbose? 18:01
cndjussi, if you want to pastebin xinput list --all I'll take a look18:01
cndsorry, xinput list --long18:01
jussicnd: I didnt look, but thats not going to have confidential stuff in it? 18:03
cndjussi, it shouldn't18:03
cndjust a list of your input devices18:04
cndand info about them18:04
jussicnd: ok, great http://paste.ubuntu.com/1027259/18:04
bulldog98_Riddell: throw me out no time atm18:04
cndjussi, hmm.. you have an n-trig screen, which is usually multitouch18:05
cndhowever, you don't have multitouch capabilities18:05
cndeither your hardware doesn't support it, or the kernel driver doesn't know how to talk to it properly18:05
jussicnd: hrm, weird - Ive been told this thing should be supported in linux18:05
cndtbh, I've not seen an n-trig device that *wasn't* supported at this point18:06
cndso this is news to me18:06
jussicnd: :/18:06
shadeslayerjussi: what did you buy :P18:06
jussishadeslayer: I didnt, its from my new workplace18:07
cndjussi, you might want to have a look in your kernel logs18:07
cndand/or dmesg18:07
shadeslayerah ok18:07
jussihttp://www.dell.com/uk/business/p/latitude-xt2/pd18:07
cndto see if there's any messages from the ntrig driver18:07
cndjussi... oh... that should be supported18:07
cndjussi, another thing to try is to update the firmware18:07
jussicnd: dmesg | grep ntrig ?18:07
cndyou have to update it from windows...18:08
cndbut firmware updates have resolved these weird situations in the past18:08
cndI think there's a good chance it would resolve your issue18:08
jussioh no18:08
shadeslayercool18:08
cndyou don't have windows anymore do you :)18:08
jussiI have no windows and no possibility of windows18:08
shadeslayerhah18:08
cndyeah, this is why I really don't like ntrig18:08
shadeslayerjussi: there was a tool that updates firmwares for Dell PC's18:09
shadeslayernot sure if it'll work though18:09
jussishadeslayer: link? :D18:09
* shadeslayer is searching18:09
jussicnd: frustrating. 18:09
cndjussi: I know, I'm sorry :(18:10
shadeslayerhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS < Maybe this will help?18:10
jussiUnless running windows in a vm is enough...18:10
cndjussi, it might be18:10
cndthe device is connected over USB, IIRC18:10
cndso if you pass through the touchscreen, it might work18:10
cndor you might fry it :)18:10
cndwho knows18:10
shadeslayerthose instructions look sane enough18:11
jussibloody windows only firmware :/18:13
cndjussi, btw, ntrig likes to release new firmware once a week18:14
shadeslayer@_@18:14
shadeslayercnd: who the hell releases firmware updates once a week18:14
cndor at least they did two years ago when we were starting to use them18:14
jussicnd: sounds like firefox...18:14
shadeslayernah18:14
cndalso, their hardware really doesn't work that well for multitouch18:15
jussiisnt that what they say... release early, release often? :D18:15
shadeslayerI'm on the nightly channel and I have updates everyday18:15
=== nowardev2 is now known as Peace-
jussiI wonder if a total reboot might help18:16
jussicnd: what was it in that output that told you it wasnt functioning? 18:21
markeyis the kde beta packaged for precise?18:21
markeyplasma in kde 4.8 is not making me happy18:21
cndjussi: there was no multitouch-capable device listed18:21
cndand, my knowledge of ntrig told me to expect an explicitly named N-Trig Multitouch device18:22
cndand I only saw pen, eraser, and touch (which is single touch)18:22
jussiyeah, thanks18:23
jussiId forgoten there was a pent18:23

debfxRiddell: the new kde-base-artwork tarball has no license file. how can we get that fixed?18:28
debfxyofel: how have we handled missing license copies in tarballs? did we just assume that docs are licensed under the GFDL?18:38
yofelusually the docs did have a copyright notice somewhere18:38
yofelI'm not sure what to do with the artwork either :/18:39
debfxare you sure? I've checked gwenview and ark18:40
debfxboth have a list of authors but no license information18:40
debfxgwenview has a COPYING.DOC but ark doesn't18:41
yofeldebfx: ark has in it's index.docbook: <legalnotice>&FDLNotice;</legalnotice> which means whatever GFDL that's shipped in kdelibs18:46
yofelor where that was18:46
debfxaha, I only greped for GFDL18:47
debfxaudiocd-kio doesn't have a legalnotice in its docs though  :/18:47
yofel-.-18:49
debfxsadly business as usual with new KDE tarballs18:50
yofeltrue, so far I've just fixed what was missing though, but there the copyright information was at least there18:52
