apacheloggerwell00:00
valoriethe login to Amazon from Amarok is completely open to the buyer00:00
apacheloggerdo we have a version that is in-your-face yet?00:00
valoriesucks that the fsf is bagging on us, because of Canonical00:01
valoriewhen we are a community supported flavor00:01
yofelhm, it is disturbing that the article doesn't mention Unity even once00:02
ScottKvalorie: Yes.  We have none of that.00:02
valorieand no way to respond to his blog00:03
* valorie is not a big fan of the present-day Stallman00:03
valorieI give him credit for his early work, but I don't think he's helping, these days00:04
valorieand too often, the opposite00:04
ScottKIn this case (which is somewhat rare) I agree with him.00:06
valoriesure, but we're being tarred with that brush00:07
valorieI don't like that one bit00:07
valoriepeople still listen to him00:08
valorieoh well, I've got to get the post office before they close00:08
macovalorie: ive heard someone say "i pay attention to stallman the way a ship's captain pays attention to a light house. good to know where it stands, but you dont want to be in the same place"00:09
* ScottK knows who that was too.00:11
ScottKEither that or someone that copied it.00:11
ronnocIt's hypocritical to say that Ubuntu is evil, when he earlier said that open source software, even on proprietary platforms, is a good gateway to free software ideals. At worst, this is merely the inverse of that idea. Much to do about nothing, IMHO.00:16
ronnocBesides, didn't Ubu make the Amazon lense entirely viluntary?00:17
ronnoc*voluntary00:17
ScottKronnoc: It's on by default and even local searches get sent to Canonical if you haven't disabled all online lenses.00:17
ScottKYou can't turn off just the search stuff, it has to be all the online stuff in lenses or none of it.00:18
ronnochmmm00:18
* ronnoc hasn't used stock Ubuntu in years00:18
ScottKIf I were to use the local search functions on Unity for $WORK, I would almost certainly immediately violate the terms of more than one consulting contract.00:19
ScottKIt's just not a serious concept for people who use computers for work.00:19
ronnocHence the flood of new users to Kubuntu and spin-offs like Mint00:20
ScottKyofel: Another 4.9.4 regression (see packagers).00:22
yofelgreat...00:23
yofelI won't look at those today, can do it tomorrow morning00:23
ScottKGreat.00:24
valoriemaco: agreed00:39
ScottKRiddell: knavalbattle section should not be libs.  I overrode it to games, so please fix on the next upload.  The package description is a bit sparse as well ...01:20
ScottKRiddell: debian/copyright in ksnakeduel lists the wrong copyright holders.  I'll accept it, but please fix.  It should also be section games.01:26
ScottKRiddell: picimi also has the wrong copyright holders and section.  Please fix it as well.01:28
yofelScottK: as pykde4 requires SIP from raring - do I need to backport python-qt4 as well? or will backporting it break something as the python3 versions are different?01:46
* yofel backports and hopes for the best01:52
yofelhm, I need to backport pyqt anyway01:54
yofelerk02:24
yofel Missing build dependencies: python3-all-dev (>= 3.2.3-6~) 02:24
* yofel calls it a day - good night02:24
rbelemdanimo, what do you think about use libcap-ng in icecc?06:17
rbelemdanimo, i started a patch doing that https://github.com/rbelem/icecream/tree/libcap-ng06:18
rbelemdanimo: what do you think?06:20

BluesKajHowdy all14:02
yofeldolphin patches for 4.9 are imported14:29
ScottKyofel: Thanks.16:27
ScottKRiddell: You have a ubiquity merge request I've asked you to review (not sure how closely you read that type of mail)16:30
RiddellScottK: thanks added to my todo16:51
ScottKRiddell: Did you get my comments from my New review of your games packages yesterday?16:51
RiddellScottK: mm yes but I should also have that on my todo thanks16:53
Riddelladded now :)16:53
ScottKGreat.16:53
yofelScottK: would you be so nice to look at the quantal backport for python-qt4 in ninjas? I have no idea what needs to be done there without breaking something.16:59
ScottKI'll try and have a look.  I'm not sure I remember.16:59
Riddellif it's hassle to backport then it can be missed out17:00
yofelit needs a newer python3 version than we have in quantal17:00
yofelRiddell: without it we don't get pykde17:00
Riddellnot many people need the latest and greatest pykde I'd think17:00
yofelhm, ok, then only kate needs to be fixed to be happy with the old pykde17:00
ScottKyofel: I'd skip it unless it's essential.17:00
yofelI don't know. If we don't really need the new pykde, then I would skip sip/pyqt/pykde altogether17:01
ScottKThe solution (I remember now) is the fixed dh_python3 and we don't want to mess with that in our PPA17:01
ScottKThat's best if you can manage it.17:01
yofelonly kate is stuck in depwait, if the rest will work with the old one we're fine17:02
ScottKIIRC most of that was driven by the switch to python3.3 and that's not relevant.17:02
yofelI'll remove the python stuff17:02
ScottKI went through the 4.9.90 packages in the archive and retried everything that needed it.17:13
shadeslayerohai17:33
shadeslayerScottK: thanks for that17:34
ScottKThe ubuntu-build script is full of awesome.17:34

Tm_Tyofel riddell et al, if you add to !testers call "| test foofoo from barbaz" we get all the information in the hilight (:18:48
yofelI keep forgetting about that...18:49

simplewi have many applications appearing in gnome session, why werent these .desktop files set to appear only in KDE desktop?19:27
yofelwhich ones? Most kde applications run fine in gnome19:28
simplewyofel: theres many, yes but having equivalent gnome apps and als have kde apps listed shouldnt happen19:29
ScottKsimplew: Apps are generally DE independent.19:29
yofelNo, that's fine. There are people that run amarok in gnome for example19:30
ScottKThe only things that should be KDE only are things tied to the DE/workspace.19:30
simplewyofel: this its confusing...19:30
yofelwhy? We have no reason to prevent people from using nautilus in KDE or dolphin in gnome. What's used by default is just a DE setting. If a use wants to override that, let him do it19:31
yofels/a use/a user/19:32
kubotuyofel meant: "why? We have no reason to prevent people from using nautilus in KDE or dolphin in gnome. What's used by default is just a DE setting. If a user wants to override that, let him do it"19:32
shadeslayeractually19:32
shadeslayeryofel: unless something changed, using nautilus in KDE is a bad idea19:32
shadeslayertakes over plasma-desktop19:32
shadeslayer:P19:32
shadeslayeratleast that's what it did 4 years ago19:33
yofelnot sure how it's in gnome319:33
yofelbut yeah, back then you needed --no-desktop19:33
ScottKProbably  takes over more now that Gnome is an OS.19:33
simplewyofel: :)19:33
* yofel assumed that they took the desktop out of nautilus19:33
yofelwait, that's gnome-shell now, isn't it?19:34
simplewyofel: ?19:34
yofelsimplew: just wondering what manages the desktop in gnome these days. In gnome2 it was nautilus. I think in gnome3 it's gnome-shell19:34
ScottKFYI, I'm checking out the Python 3 patch for kpythonpluginfactory and will upload an ubuntu2 of pykde4 if I get it worked out.19:35
ScottKjbicha would know.19:35
yofelI need to try that gnomebuntu thing one of these days19:36
simplewyofel: well im just poking around in gnome to see how it goes, im not an expert :)19:40
simplewyofel: but i thought that if there are apps equivalent in gnome to kde, that the kde apps should appear only kde19:41
yofelnope, the user is free to use either one19:41
simplewyofel: im using dolphin in gnome though...19:42
simplewnautilus is a mess...19:43
simplewand im in konversation also :D19:44
yofeldigikam finally finished building19:56
shadeslayerhah20:00
shadeslayerfuturama has this sound in one of their episodes which sounds exactly like my mac when it boots20:00
yofel*sigh* - yet another mac fan spotted20:00
shadeslayerthe kind that spins?20:01
ScottKSomeone should tell Apple so they can sue.  Their valuable intellectual property is being tarnished.20:01
yofelwell, that too. I meant fan as in fanboy though :P20:02
shadeslayerScottK: hehe20:02
ScottKshadeslayer: re the notes on the pad: The polikit-qt thing with pykde is not new.20:02
shadeslayerah okay20:03
shadeslayerI put it in there before I knew what the issue was 20:03
shadeslayerforgot to remove20:03
shadeslayerapparently polkit qt is too new20:03
shadeslayerScottK: could you upload a new hupnp release?20:03
yofelnote: the things you can ignore are documented in cmake-ignore.json in the automation folder20:04

shadeslayeroh drat, I just realized that there are new copyright years from the diff20:05
shadeslayerScottK: ^ Want me to fix those before you upload?20:05
ScottKshadeslayer: Yes.  Please.20:06
shadeslayerokay, will do and send you a new link later20:06
ScottKshadeslayer: Any luck on KTP and the gstreamer transition?20:20
shadeslayerUhh ... I asked George to email the Kubuntu Devel ML20:21
shadeslayerbut I guess he hasn't gotten around to it20:21
yofel*sigh* - you still can't restart normally after updating to 4.9.9020:22
shadeslayerScottK: I can't comment because I don't really have an idea as to what needs to be done ... he's the best guy to answer that email20:22
yofelwhat provides the logout/shutdown/restart/etc. confirmation menu?20:22
ScottKshadeslayer: Please follow up with him then.20:23
shadeslayeryeah pinged him agan20:23
ScottKYou're our KTP guy so ...20:23

ScottKThanks.20:23

yofel"It works" is probably good enough for the beta. But if you have a laptop, try the touchpad config and see if it still works. (Or any pykde app for that matter)21:45
