Riddellallee: "Fix/find correct name for my abbrev. GPL-KDEeV"  I think that abbreviation is fine, but I think when I package I just am lazy and call it GPL-2+15:50
Riddellallee: "how to treat GPL-kdeev?" why does it need treated any differently?15:50
alleeRiddell: ^^ is no longer a topic.  I'm not sure that a GPL copying file in the source is enough for GPL-KDEeV license header15:52

Riddellwhy hello gspr 17:48
gspr:P17:48
Riddellgspr: what can kubuntu do for you today?17:49
gsprKDE bug 306186 seems to affect Kubuntu's kde-workspace 4:4.9.4-0ubuntu0.2, and is quite an annoying problem in my opinion. Upstream's patch applies cleanly against 4:4.9.4-0ubuntu0.2 and fixes the problem (at least as far as I can tell for after testing for a few days)17:49
ubottuKDE bug 306186 in core "Password Dialog stays on top of all windows after unlocking the desktop" [Major,Resolved: fixed] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30618617:49
gsprRiddell: I'd like to do a little bit for Kubuntu (although the work has been done upstream), but I don't really know how to proceed.17:50
gsprHow do I go about suggesting upstream's patch for inclusion into (k)ubuntu?17:50
gsprIt's a simple patch, and the problem is well-understood (and very annoying)17:50
Riddellgspr: well you've just done the suggesting :)17:51
Riddellbut the packaging is the next step17:51
Riddellalso checking with upstream17:51
gsprOK17:52
Riddellgspr: know anything about packaging?17:52
gsprRiddell: Yes, I package stuff for my PPA every now and then, but I seldom get to hear criticism - meaning I probably do a lot of things wrong :)17:52
Riddellgspr: actually first step is to check for bugs in launchpad or report one if it doesn't exist17:53
gsprRiddell: I've got a patched version of kde-workspace in my PPA, which simply adds the upstream patch to debian/patches and appends its name to debian/patches/series. That builds without warnings (as far as I can see) and solves the problem (as far as three-four days of testing suggests)17:53
Riddellyeah that's about all that's needed for a technical solution17:54
Riddellbut this is a stable release update so needs some beurocracy17:54
Riddellso needs a bug in launchpad17:54
gsprRiddell: Right, that makes sense. Upstream has the bug as relating to "component kwin", while I patched kde-workspace in (k)ubunut's case. So I just report a bug against kde-workspace on launchpad then?17:55
gsprRiddell: Also, for the bug report, should I describe/summarize the problem and upstream analysis, or is linking sufficient? In this case, the upstream discussion is short and clear.17:56
Riddellyes, kwin is part of kde-workspace17:56
gsprah, right, ok17:56
Riddellsummarise it yes, just a sentence needed17:56
gsprOK. I'll check if it's already reported, and report it otherwise.17:56
Riddelland if you can work out how to link the bug to the upstream bug that's bonus points17:56
gsprhehe ok17:56
gsprIt doesn't seem to be at bugs.launchpad.net yet, so I'll report17:58

gsprRiddell: Ah, ok. Thanks the help :-)18:07
gsprRiddell: I'll also add: Thanks for the work you've put into KDE on ubuntu! I see your name all over the place, so I can only imagine you've done a lot :-)18:13

gsprRiddell: I don't have time to contribute with anything beyond the occasional bug report, sadly. :-/18:15
Riddellthat's plenty enough18:16

cyphermoxshadeslayer: hey20:56
shadeslayerhi cyphermox20:59
cyphermoxhow are you? :)20:59
shadeslayerI'm good :)21:02
shadeslayercyphermox: how do you do?21:04
cyphermoxnot bad21:04
cyphermoxshadeslayer: I had a work item to speak to you about the KDE networkmanagement app VPN plugins 21:05
cyphermoxshadeslayer: remember what it might be about? :)21:05
shadeslayerah yes :)21:06
shadeslayerit was that while the VPN plugins are listed, they might/might not be installed21:07
shadeslayerso when a user clicks on a plugin that is not installs, we launch the package manager and prod the user to install it21:07
shadeslayerkind of like what we do with gstreamer plugin search21:07
shadeslayer( play an avi file -> can't find the gst plugin, search repo and prompt user to install it )21:08
soeescreen block is broken in RC3 ?21:18
shadeslayercyphermox: it was also decided that it would be better to have this in nm itself21:19
cyphermoxah21:20
cyphermoxI'm not sure it's a matter of a list so much though21:20
shadeslayermatter of a list?21:20
cyphermoxwell21:20
cyphermoxideally you should be able to add a new VPN plugin without having to modify NM code21:21
cyphermoxAFAIK it would go kind of like the gst plugin, the UI should handle it, and just have enough logic to know to search for any package starting with "network-manager-(vpn)" for instance.21:21
shadeslayerI see, well, the use case we got a couple of months back ( right before UDS ), was that someone was trying to use one of the VPN plugins via the KDE Frontend, but that plugin was not installed21:22
cyphermoxright21:22
shadeslayercyphermox: I think I proposed that initially21:22
shadeslayerbut then someone said that it makes more sense to do it in NM itself21:22
cyphermoxI guess I could have said that21:23
cyphermoxit's just that the choice of package manager then makes more sense in the UI I guess21:23
shadeslayerI don't remember :D21:23
cyphermoxso no point in changing NM just to add a regex or whatever to list the names of packages for NM :D21:23
shadeslayeriirc it was you who said that you could make a packagekit interface21:24
shadeslayers/make a/use the/21:24
kubotushadeslayer meant: "iirc it was you who said that you could use the packagekit interface"21:24
cyphermoxby that I mean that you might be using KPackageKit or whatever, where on Gnome it would be something else21:24
cyphermoxyeah21:24
cyphermoxstill it would really have to all be done in the UI21:25
cyphermoxI think21:25
cyphermoxbut fair enough -- at least now I know that it's as I thought, about how to make it easier to install the VPN plugins21:25
shadeslayerokay :)21:25
