pktI have another (small this time) issue with ubiquity's kde frontend06:39
pktin the timezone page, in the tooltip06:39
pktI see the current time and then gibberish06:40
pktit looks like a codepage problem (I guess it would show the city name in Greek)06:40
pktis it possible to point me to the relevant code to see how to fix this?06:40
Riddellpkt: the timezone widget is in ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/Timezone.py07:32
Riddellin lp:ubiquity07:32
Riddellbut that is used by the page ./ubiquity/plugins/ubi-timezone.py07:33
Riddelland much of the data comes from debian-installer07:33
pktwho do you think is setting the codepage of the tooltip text?07:33
pktcould it be just a bad Qt default?07:33
RiddellQt will presumably default to utf-807:34
Riddellbut then I'd imagine d-i uses utf-8 too07:35
Riddellso it's a strange one07:35
* Riddell breakfasts07:36
pktok I will look into this more07:38
pktmy suscpicion is that there is a latin-1 default hidden somewhere07:39
tsimpsonQString defaults to ascii/latin1 for raw strings07:48
pkthmm07:49
pktbut what is the "raw string" in this case?07:49
tsimpsonin the python case, it should be any str object07:49
pktI see07:50
tsimpson'print QString('\xa3').toUtf8().data()' gives back '£', and \xa3 the the Latin-1 for £07:50
tsimpson^in python07:50
pktso I should check in the python code to see if there is any "dummy" str -> QString conversion?07:51
tsimpsonit's a place to start07:52
pktindeed, thanks tsimpson :;)07:53
pkt:)07:53
tsimpsonit maybe a quicker way is to put QtCore.QTextCodec.setCodecForCStrings(QtCore.QTextCodec.codecForName("utf8")) somewhere early in the code07:56
pktyes, this looks like a good idea as well07:56
Riddellpkt: this issue happens when installing in greek language?08:34
pktRiddell: yes09:10
pktbut I 'd guess it would happen in other languages as well like e.g., Russian09:11
pktthose with non-latin alphabets09:11
Riddellhi mparillo, how do you fancy redying things to beta 2?09:42
mparilloRiddell: You mean creating the draft announcement? The skeleton wiki?09:43
Riddellchecking over https://wiki.kubuntu.org/PrecisePangolin/Beta2/Kubuntu for beta 2 updates09:43
Riddellbonus points for adding a section with ubiquity LVM and crypto partitioning09:44
Riddellreadying a story on kubuntu.org09:44
Riddelland I have a pretty picture that can be used on the kubuntu.org front page with some editing09:44
xnox_Precise_ ???? Beta2 was released a while ago.....09:44
Riddellhmm09:45
Riddellmparillo: this one :) https://wiki.kubuntu.org/QuantalQuetzal/Beta2/Kubuntu09:45
xnoxwell there is also 09:45
xnoxhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta209:46
xnoxand it does mention LVM09:46
xnox(the kubuntu section)09:46
RiddellI know, I added it :)09:46
xnox=))) touche =)))09:46
Riddellbut those technical overviews are pretty dry, the kubuntu announce pages shouuld be more readable, and form the basis for the final announce on kubuntu.org09:47
Riddellmparillo: what do you think of this http://starsky.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/kubuntu-quantal-quetzal.png ?09:47
mparilloWow, really fancy. 09:47
Riddellwe need someone good with graphics to expand it into something to replace http://www.kubuntu.org/files/12.04-lts-banner3.png09:48
mparilloI am no graphics guy, and today may be crazy at my day job (early morning here). When is Beta-2?09:48
Riddellmparillo: this EU evening09:49
Riddellso just do what you're able to09:49
mparilloI will try and thank you for offering.09:50

RiddellScottK: yeah thanks for that14:12
RiddellScottK: libmsn still to do?14:12
ScottKI didn't do that one.14:12
Riddellpkt: http://starsky.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/ubiquity.png  I see no bug14:12
RiddellI think that's running in greek14:12
pktfor some reason it is not 100% in Greek14:13
pktthe PM should be "μμ"14:13
Riddellpkt: what version have you been testing?14:13
pktI 've been testing my derivative, but it should be same with official kubuntu in this14:14
pktχμμ, maybe kubuntu also doesn't localize enough14:15
pktthis is why this bug hadn't been noticed14:15
pktin any case the string should be UTF-8 in the tooltip not latin-1 so the fix should be committed14:15
pktI think the reason kubuntu shows the string as "PM" is that it starts with english locale14:17
pkt(I mean, in official kubuntu ubiquity starts with english locale)14:17
pktwhile in my version it starts with greek locale14:17
pktthus the bug was revealed14:18
pktRiddell: ^^14:18
ScottKRiddell: I'm doing a test build of kbruch on armhf to see if I can replicate that problem from the rebuild.14:18
mparilloRiddell: I posted, but did not publish the news item. I noticed there is still Calligra suite here: Does this section need to come out? https://wiki.kubuntu.org/QuantalQuetzal/Beta2/Kubuntu#Calligra_Suite I think the Calligra Suite was removed (at least it was for me). Want me to replace it with either Kexi or krita?14:26
ScottKThere should be some mention of LO too.14:27
ScottKBut kexi/krita is good.14:28
Riddellmparillo: yeah please14:29
Riddellpkt: adding that line to TimeZone.py just stops the step from being loaded, so presumably it's causing an error somewhere, is it working for you?14:34
mparillohttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/QuantalQuetzal/Beta2/Kubuntu#Calligra_Suite now shows screen shots of kexi and krita and the text refers to them (only briefly).14:40
pktRiddell: yes, it shouldn't do this14:47
pktRiddell: could there be a typo or something that is causing the problem?14:47
pktRiddell: the only thing this line should do is set the default codec to UTF-8 for QString and only for this widget14:47
pktFor me it works fine14:48
Riddellpkt: can you attach a patch to that bug?14:48
pktsure, you will have to wait a little though14:49
mparilloI noticed the URL for the feedback page is: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/QuantalQuetzal/Beta1/Kubuntu/Feedback14:52

debfxI think so15:11

konquiHi, I assume the iso on beta 2 on the iso testing site is likely to be the beta 2 release?15:39
Riddellkonqui: I assume so too15:42
Riddellkonqui: but testing always welcomed15:42
konquiRiddell: There won't be an alternate image for 12.10?15:42
Riddellkonqui: we're not planning one, LVM and encrypted partitioning can now be done from ubiquity15:43
Riddelldo you have a use case for it?15:44
konquiRiddell: Well I normally prefer is as personal preference especially on slower systems but its not a big deal15:44
konquiI can always use the mini iso if I really want a similar experience anyways15:45
konquiThe main concern though is especially with the Kubuntu releases Ubiquity has ocasionally crashed15:45
konquiOn the whole removing the alternate image is probably worth it as most people don't use it and it can reduce testing I guess.15:47
ScottKAlso Ubuntu has already removed their alternate, so we'd be stuck dealing with the entire thing to maintain.15:51
pkthmm, just yesterday there was a guy in #kubuntu who had to use alternate15:51
pktbecause of nvidia15:51
pktfrom my point of view it would be easier to drop alternate since it can simplify the cd building scripts a lot15:53
pktif minimal can do the same things as alternate can then it would be alright I guess15:54
konquiIf you ask me the way alternate installs the OS is ideal but many won't agree especially since its more complicated and "ugly"15:56
pktin what sense the way alternate installs the OS is ideal?15:56
konquiBut if Ubuntu dropped alternate it makes complete sense for Kubuntu to do the same15:56
pktbecause you can configure it more?15:56
konquipkt: Yes and it installs .deb packages and can be used as a represitory15:57
BluesKajkonqui, well I for one am glad the alternate install is available , due to hardware that prevented the livecd from booting 15:57
pktespecially for bad graphics hardware I 'd guess15:58
konquiBluesKaj: In fact between 6.10 and 7.10 Ubuntu live would not boot on my old computer due to its monitor. But alternate worked and needed some editing to get the installed version working15:59
BluesKajit was ati onboard x200 15:59

claydohwonder  how widespread that is, and if we could make that more, um, discoverable23:52
JontheEchidnathat's probably because the Software Center is accessible from Kickoff's Computer tab,23:53
JontheEchidnaso users don't ever go looking for it in the "System" folder, where they could find the package manager too23:53
