shadeslayeraj041191: what exactly do you want to customize ?02:13

shadeslayerok, user support questions in #kubuntu or #kde02:14
shadeslayerAnd I woukdnt know, barely do any customizing :)02:15

aj041191gnome is easy to customize x.x02:16

aj041191why? xD ok ill google that hehe02:22
=== skreech_ is now known as Daskreech
* apachelogger wonders what a beshell is11:59
apachelogger"BE::Shell is a simple desktop shell on KDE technology (namely KIO and Solid) for the rest of us."12:01
* apachelogger bets 50 euros that it uses qgraphicsfail :P12:01
yofel_do we have a plasma applet that uses konsole? I can't find one12:03
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
apacheloggerthere is a python one that is a terminal emulator12:03
apacheloggerdunno about a konsole kpart12:03
yofeloh, the widget downloader doesn't crash anymore in 4.9.3 \o/12:03
yofelPlasmacon is a terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole technology (uses libkonsolepart). - that looks kinda nice12:04
apacheloggeroh lol12:04
apacheloggerbeshell does appear to use qwidgets12:04
yofelheh12:04
* apachelogger fears for his sanity12:05
apacheloggerI wanted nothing more than to finish kubuntu-settings and now I am reading codez I did not know about 10 minutes ago -.-12:08
tsimpsonlooks like (yet) another "I want a Mac, but don't have a gazillian monies" thing12:10
apacheloggeryeah12:11
apacheloggerwell12:11
apacheloggerno12:11
apacheloggerwhile it is from the bespin/whateverspinoff dude this thing actually is semi-sane12:11
apacheloggeri.e. there is nothing wrong with using qwidgets12:11
tsimpsonI mean more aesthetically12:15
apacheloggerthere is no such thing12:15
tsimpsonand yes, qwidgets are much nicer than the insanity of graphics-whatever12:15
apacheloggerbe::shell relies on the user to come up with a config and css12:16
tsimpsonfrom the screenshots posted12:16
tsimpsonI presume you can make it pink ;)12:16
apacheloggertsimpson: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/11/18/plasma-desktopYM5541.png12:19
apacheloggerthat's what it actually looks like12:19
apacheloggernot the authors fault that users make shit always look like osx for some reason :P12:20
tsimpsonI was mostly going off http://sourceforge.net/p/be-shell/discussion/showroom/thread/b7f99467/12:20
apacheloggeras I said, it's just how that particular invidual chose to theme the shell ;)12:21
tsimpsonI have to say, there's a part of me that would be quite happy with nothing but a context menu on the desktop12:22
apacheloggeruse fluxbos12:23
apacheloggerfluxbox12:23
apacheloggeralso a word of advise: do not try beshell12:23
apacheloggermy plasma found out that I am seeing something else12:23
apacheloggernow I have 4 panels12:24
apacheloggerontop of each other12:24
apacheloggerand there is the crash12:24
* apachelogger sighs12:24
tsimpsonI did use fluxbox a while back, but then I start to miss launchers. I'm one of those people who can't make up their minds12:25
tsimpsonor rather it changes based on my mood12:25
* apachelogger likes to use konsole12:25
tsimpsonI do take yakuake to whatever DE I'm using12:27
tsimpsonit's the first thing I install12:27
apachelogger_I could live with ttys alone if there were sensible audio players :P12:29
apachelogger_debfx, Riddell, shadeslayer, Quintasan: if you don't reply to the 'kubuntu-settings restructuring' thread I'll go ahead and break it12:37
apacheloggerhttps://code.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-settings/kubuntu-settings12:46
apacheloggerready for upload except for possible dep changes etc.12:47
BluesKajHey all14:49
Quintasanapachelogger: looking19:43
Quintasanor lemme know if you broke it already19:43
=== Tonio_ is now known as Tonio_aw
=== Tonio_aw is now known as Tonio_
Quintasanagateau: ping19:55
Quintasanapachelogger: ping19:56
apacheloggeryes?19:57
Quintasanapachelogger: http://paste.kde.org/60999219:58
QuintasanIs this even remotely dep-5 compatible19:58
* Quintasan wonder is he actually has to care about dep-5 compatibility19:58
apacheloggerwho would know what with there not being a sensible parser and all that :P19:58
QuintasanWait.19:59
QuintasanSo you mean there is no dep-5 parser at this point in time?19:59
apacheloggerhave not seen one19:59
apacheloggerit's spec compliant though19:59
Quintasanapachelogger: so it's good according to the specs?20:00
QuintasanGood.20:00
yofelhm, lintian has some limited dep-5 parsing support20:00
yofellooks fine though20:00
* Quintasan wonders why introduce dep-5 if you have no parsing for it20:00
QuintasanIt's like, useless now20:01
Quintasanyofel,apachelogger: symbols are needed only for libs that export public fuctions, right?20:02
* Quintasan has no idea how to determine whether library does that or not20:02
apacheloggerevery library does that20:03
yofeluhm, if it doesn't have anything public you won't have any public symbols either...20:03
apacheloggerthere are only public interfaces20:03
* yofel is in weekend-leathargy mode and has his brain on powersave20:04
QuintasanSO20:04
Quintasanhow the hell do I know that about homerun?20:04
yofeldoes it ship headers?20:04
yofelif there are no headers, nothing will link against the lib and you don't need a symbol file20:04
Quintasansome20:04
Quintasanusr/include/homerun/abstractsource.h20:04
Quintasanusr/include/homerun/homerun_export.h20:04
Quintasanusr/include/homerun/pathmodel.h20:04
Quintasanusr/include/homerun/sourceconfigurationwidget.h20:04
apacheloggerthat there is a much saner policy ... every library that has header files associated with it needs to have a symbols file ;)20:04
yofelhomerun_export.h -> you can't get anymore public than that20:05
apacheloggeryofel: that is technically a false statement20:05
yofelwell, I meant nothing not from the same package...20:05
QuintasanAFAIR pdebuild should yield something about missing symbols file but I didn't get that20:05
apacheloggere.g. qt has api that is not in an installed header but comprises interfaces that an application having the headers will be able to link against20:05
apacheloggerthat what qtcreator does20:06
yofel... fun20:06
Quintasanyofel: Your definiton of "fun" is definitely weird20:06
Quintasan:P20:06
yofelwell, I know I'm weird. I like things that don't work :P20:06
QuintasanI like things that work after you kick them20:07
Quintasanyofel, apachelogger: should I use pkgkde-gensymbols magic or just use dpkg-gensymbols?20:09
yofelif it's c++ use pkgkde20:10
Quintasanyay for homerun20:11
Quintasanapachelogger, yofel: dget -xu http://people.ubuntu.com/~quintasan/uploads/homerun_0.1.0-0ubuntu1.dsc20:36
QuintasanI need review20:36
yofelQuintasan: can you please add a comment to override_dh_auto_test so whoever looks at the package in a year from now still knows why they're disabled?20:45
yofeland maybe put the libs into the libs section20:46
yofellooks fine otherwise20:46
Quintasanyofel: Like adding Section: libs to the binary packages or put the whole source package into libs?20:48
yofelthe former (the libs should be in libs, the plasma widget in kde, not sure about the source)20:49
shadeslayerQuintasan: don't forget to send me a merge request for the homerun daily packages 20:55
Quintasansure20:56
Quintasanwill upload somewhere to LP20:56
Quintasanshadeslayer: uhh, I can't branch https://code.launchpad.net/~blue-shell/homerun/packaging for some reason, want me to bzr init my packaging, upload it to my lp space and request a merge?21:08
shadeslayerbzr branch lp:~blue-shell/homerun/packaging doesn't work ?21:09

Quintasanyofel: I fixed the things you mentioned, uploading to raring21:12
yofel\o/21:13
Quintasanbetter testbuild once again21:13

shadeslayerkool21:17
Quintasanyofel: That's how raring works21:18
yofelbut you didn't really put that into the changelog, right?21:18
QuintasanFirst it goes to proposed then is copied to raring AFAIR21:18
Quintasanofc I did not :P21:18
yofelok, then I just misunderstood ;)21:18
