ScottKapachelogger: That's not news.01:56
ScottKRiddell: Debian released and I published the news on kubuntu.org.02:03
ahoneybunhey guys/gals03:23
ScottKapachelogger: Got an actual apport report now for my kdepim-runtime crash: Bug #1176464 03:29
ubottuError: Launchpad bug 1176464 could not be found03:29
ScottK(I left it private for the moment, but sucbribed you to it)03:30
ahoneybunhey ScottK did you see the wiki for Kubuntu Docs?03:46
ScottKahoneybun: I have not.  I've been driving all day picking one of my daughters up from college.  Just got home and am a bit tired for any thinking.03:47
ahoneybunoh ok full load03:48
ahoneybunI want to say it is about half done03:49
ahoneybuncan I get what you think about it?03:57
ahoneybunvalorie: are you there?04:10
valorieI am04:23
valoriecurrently eating a snack, but will be with you shortly04:24
valorieyou got my notes to you after you went to sleep last night, right?04:24
ahoneybunno I saw that you changed somethings but did not see what04:28
valorieread the backlog here04:29
ahoneybunhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuDocs/RaringRingtail/Basics04:30
ahoneybunupload images to the wiki, 1. Kubuntu 2. KDE 3. Linux ?04:32
valorieyup04:34
valoriethe problem with having your images elsewhere, is what happens when that site is down, or the links change?04:34
ahoneybunI know, I'm looking into it now04:36
ahoneybunI fixed the link that was spelled wrong04:36
valoriehmmm, me too04:37
valorienot sure why it didn't stay fixed04:37
valorieI was logged in, etc.04:37
ahoneybunIt took for me though04:37
* valorie bows before ahoneybun's superior wiki power04:38
ahoneybunlol I just got lucky04:39
ahoneybunsadly I can only upload one thing at a time...04:39
valoriethis is bizarre04:41
ahoneybun?04:41
valoriethat link still shows broken for me04:41
valorieeven after control reload04:41
ahoneybunwhat link04:42
valorie#2 link at the top of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuDocs/RaringRingtail/Basics04:43
valorieAbout Kubuntu04:43
ahoneybunpage does not exist04:44
valorielook at the link04:45
valorieit's misspelled04:45
valoriebut I've fixed it three times04:45
valoriehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuDocs/RaringRingtai/About04:45
ahoneybunnow I see!04:45
valoriebizarre, eh?04:47
ahoneybunI fixed it04:48
valorieyay!04:48
valoriebut what happened to the top image?04:48
valorienow it's enormous04:49
ahoneybunwrong one, fixed04:49
valorienice04:50
ahoneybunyep that one on the main page /KubuntuDocs/RaringRingtail is on the wiki04:50
valoriegood deal04:53
valorieI'm setting up again to deal with docs from launchpad, because I want to read the xubuntu docs04:54
valorieand since this is a fresh install, I had lost my ssh setup, keypair and such04:54
ahoneybundeal with?04:55
valorieI had a copy of the kubuntu docs before, so I could edit them04:55
valorienot sure if any of my edits ever made it in, but I did email them to darkwing and jjesse04:56
ahoneybunI want to push my changes into my own branch04:57
valoriecool04:57
valorieI have no clue how to do that04:57
valoriebut I'm working through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu/SystemDocumentation again04:58
ahoneybunI was looking into it04:58
ahoneybunsweet, are people still using docbook?04:58
valorieall KDE documentation is in docbook04:59
valorieit's just xml04:59
ahoneybunjust so you know the Basic page uses all images from the wiki now, no external links04:59
valoriesuper!04:59
ahoneybunyep05:00
ahoneybunthese pages are going to be long05:00
valoriewell05:01
valoriemaybe we should have a tl;dr summary at the top of each page05:01
valorieso people can see if they want it or not05:01
ahoneybunI was thinking that, like the archlinux wiki05:01
valoriethe archlinux wiki starts out sort of ok05:02
valoriethen descends quickly into madness05:03
valoriebut yeah, the beginning is worth looking at05:03
valorieI want ours FRIENDLY05:03
ahoneybunI wanted to have subsections in the table of contents05:03
valoriearch to me is not so friendly05:03
ahoneybunlike 3. The Basics 05:03
ahoneybunthen 05:03
ahoneybunthen A. Desktop Customization 05:04
ahoneybunB. Something 05:04
ahoneybunC. Linux05:04
valorieor 3.1, 3.2, 3.305:05
ahoneybunyea thats better05:05
valorieone caution: if the ToC gets too long, people click away05:05
valoriehave you looked at userbase on kde.org at all?05:06
ahoneybunno, I don't know how to link to stuff in the page yet I was looking into it 05:06
valoriei wrote the amarok handbook there, with the assistance of the old amarok wiki, and lots of GCi students05:08
ahoneybunI'm going to look at that page your working on05:08
valorieI'm working on a page?05:08
valorieoh, the system doc page05:08
valorieworking *through* the page05:08
valorienot editing it05:08
valoriejust to be clear05:08
ahoneybunnope not touching it just looking05:09
=== jono is now known as Guest55286
ahoneybunhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuDocs/RaringRingtail/Basics05:13
ahoneybunthat ToC is going to get big05:15
valoriewell, it might be better than to have a short one, and some sentences below with the link again05:21
valorielike: [The Basics] covers customizing your desktop, something, and the linux filesystem.05:22
valorieso you have a little para summing it up, instead of a big-ass ToC05:22
ahoneybunwell I am not using a heading for everything right now to lower it05:24
ahoneybunhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuDocs/RaringRingtail/Basics05:28
valorielooks good, but I think those images should be smaller05:31
valorielike: half the size05:31
valorieconsider that some people will be reading on phones and /or tablets05:32
ahoneybunI was looking into using thumbnails05:33
valoriethose are great when someone might need to expand the image05:33
valoriethese are so simple I don't think that is necessary05:33
valorieshrinking them will make the page load more quickly as well05:34
valorieso they aren't just displayed smaller, but ARE smaller05:34
ahoneybunso thats a good idea?05:35
valoriewhat's a good idea?05:39
valorieusing thumbnails is great when people will need to make the images bigger to see necessary detail05:40
valorielike involved menus05:40
ahoneybunthe thumbnail05:40
valorieotherwise, just smaller images are better05:40
valorienot tiny05:40
valoriejust smaller05:40
ahoneybunrefresh05:40
valorielook at userbase to see how people do it there05:41
valorieawesome05:41
ahoneybunwhat my changes?05:42
valoriethe dir images could use a thumbnail05:42
valoriebecause some people will want to see detail05:42
valorieyes, the smaller images look great05:42
ahoneybunI used thumbnails on those ;)05:43
valoriecool05:49
ahoneybunok refresg05:51
ahoneybunrefresh05:51
valorieyeah, baby05:53
valoriethose are readable to me as thumbnails already05:53
valorieexcellent work!05:53
valorielaunchpad still hasn't responded to my new key though05:53
valoriepfff05:53
ahoneybunthanks! and that is my last edit 05:54
ahoneybunno more for now05:54
valoriecool05:54
valorieI'll try to finish working through that page, and get the xubuntu docs05:55
valoriestealing is always good05:55
valoriedamn, launchpad is so much complicated than kde identity05:56
ahoneybunI can't get into my kde identify lol lost the info05:58
valorieask the sysadmins05:58
valoriethey are awesome indeed05:58
valorieit almost certainly will be your surname05:59
valoriebut #kde-sysadmin knows all, sees all05:59
ahoneybunwell it says it will email it to me but I never get it06:01
valoriedead email account, maybe?06:01
valoriethey can check06:02
valorieawhile ago they made everyone with weak passwords reset them06:02
ahoneybunok then I got it kinda I just don't understand the two-factor thing06:02
ahoneybunPlease enter the token from position 'H1'06:03
valorieone of the sysadmins did a weak pass to break passwords06:03
valorieand all those that failed had to reset06:03
valoriemine failed06:03
valorielol06:03
valoriewoah06:03
valorieI've never seen that06:03
ahoneybunyea06:05
valoriethey will help though06:05
ahoneybunok 06:07
valorie:-)06:07
ahoneybun"that means your account has two factor auth enabled"06:09
ahoneybunSo I think the wiki is going well06:10

kubotu::workspace-bugs:: [1176550] task manager highlights windows incorrectly @ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176550 (by Sebastian Bugiu)15:20
QuintasanScottK: Any idea what would happen in Ubuntu if Debian switched to systemd? The only reason I see for using Upstart is that Debian still has sysvinit but that's hardly a valid reason now that systemd beats Upstart in every aspect15:43
RiddellQuintasan: I'm not sure it's fair to put a questions like that on ScottK's shoulders :)15:51
Riddellthe main reason for upstart I think is "we wuz first"15:51
QuintasanRiddell: That's not a valid arugment IMO, at least if you claim you don't suffer from the NIH syndrome15:52
Riddellbut it was discussed a bit here yesterday if kubuntu could switch without ubuntu unity switching (purely as a theoretical question)15:52
RiddellQuintasan: it was red hat's NIH first15:52
QuintasanRiddell: Uhh, you lost me at Red Hat's NIH15:53
Riddellupstart came first15:54
Riddellthen red hat via lennart made systemd15:54
Riddellso they were NIH first15:54
QuintasanYeah, buy even after all those years of developement it's still worse than systemd :P15:54
Riddellin what way?15:54
sreichupstart isn't even any good -_-15:55
Riddellwhat's wrong with it?15:55
QuintasanI believe in almost every way including startup time rbelem 15:55
sreichi mean compared to systemd, being so young, upstart is horrible15:55
QuintasanRiddell*15:55
sreichi think the real question is "what's better about it than sysvinit"?15:55
QuintasanThere was some comparisions made but I'm not an expert on that so I can't say how true those are15:56
sreichi mean, does upstart even have a journal daemon?15:58
sreichbecause that's a huge feature right there in itself.15:58
QuintasanIf systemd devs were claiming their software can do something while it can't the community would point that out very quickly15:58
QuintasanAFAIR not15:58
QuintasanRiddell: I was just wondering, I don't know if we could just go ahead and switch to systemd15:58
RiddellQuintasan: that's a lot of QA15:59
Riddellmaking sure it works and can revert back to upstart if you install it15:59
Riddellit's hardly our speciality16:00
Riddelland there's no paticular reason for it16:00
QuintasanRiddell: I'm more interested if we have the freedom to do it as a part of Ubuntu right now16:00
sreichupstart in general just seems like a couple things on top of sysvinit, not really rewriting from the ground up16:01
sreichand here's a good  run down of the features http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html16:01
sreich(from systemd devs themselves)16:01
RiddellQuintasan: we can do whatever we like but we'll get no support from foundations for diverging from them16:01
sreichthe snapshots are cool as well.16:01
QuintasanRiddell: I see.16:02
Riddellif we run into a problem they'll just laugh at us16:02
QuintasanSo we could actually do that if we were able to pull it off but we can't so no point considering that16:02
RiddellQuintasan: we could but it's not worth the risk16:16
sreichyeah, kinda silly imho16:17
sreichyou'd be better off rebasing kubuntu on another distro ;)16:18
=== Guest1531 is now known as Tm_T
ScottKQuintasan: In fact, there were (IIRC) 2 fecora releases that used upstart.16:43
ScottKQuintasan: I believe that the plan for Debian for Jessie is to work to make it so people can use sysvinit, upstart, systemd, or whatever (there are other contenders too, like openrc).16:45
ScottKAlso, Ubuntu is already using some parts of systemd, I don't know details.16:46
yofelQuintasan: if you want to try debian with systemd then play with tanglu once that's in a usable state. That will  use systemd by default18:33
* yofel certainly prefers systemd's service status overview over upstart's18:34
yofelas for the parts of systemd that we're using.. Ubuntu plans to switch to logind for 13.10, we should follow suite so we can deprecate consolekit18:39
