ScottKrohan: It's only for certain Macs to work around UEFI boot issues.  If your Mac boots the regular amd64 image fine, then you don't have one of the Macs that image is for.04:12
ScottKRiddell: You might consider accepting quassel for saucy.  I"ve uploaded 0.9.1 as I think it's worth pushing in even in final freeze.04:40

Guest3903i'm seeing quite serious issues while trying to install kubuntu using beta2 or latest ISO 06:11
Guest3903*daily-latest06:11
Guest3903looks like it's failing in some partition parsing, so the installer is completely stuck after the "Prepare" step 06:11
Guest3903with no indication of what's going on 06:11

Riddellhappy frozen friday 07:41
debfxalmost frozen, 5°C this morning ;)07:47
Guest3903do you guys know if kubuntu 13.10 will use the antiquated pm-utils, or the new systemd-logind? 07:48
Guest3903i see pm-utils as a depedency of kubuntu-desktop in saucy too 07:48
debfxaren't they orthogonal to each other? logind manages logins/seats and pm-utils provides hooks for suspend/resume.07:56
Guest3903i thought systemd-logind handled the suspend/resume stuff? at least it does on fedora/arch07:56
debfxsystemd handles suspend/resume but I don't think systemd-logind has anything to do with it07:58
Guest3903oh i see 07:59
Guest3903i thought upower preferred logind for handling suspend/resume if present, at least that's what i was told in #kde 07:59
Guest3903but i could be just misremembering 08:00

shadeslayerRiddell: yofel would it make sense to push a fix that drops pm-utils and uses logind to suspend stuff so late in the cycle?10:29
Riddellshadeslayer: yeah I think it would10:29
yofelafter final freeze? no?10:29
yofelreally?10:29
Riddellshadeslayer: pm-utils doesn't get used as far as I know10:29
shadeslayerRiddell: it does afaict10:29
yofelit does right now10:29
Riddelloh?10:29
shadeslayeryes10:29
yofelsomeone patched upower to use it IIRC10:30
Riddellwell leave it then, don't play with fragile thing10:30
shadeslayeryeah10:30
shadeslayerbut afiestas_ and I debugged it last night10:30
shadeslayerand basically upower is fscked10:30
shadeslayerand solid goes "version of systemd?" , ubuntu goes "fuck you", solid goes "falling back to upower", upower goes kaput10:31
shadeslayerand then somehow pm-utils suspends stuff10:31
yofelthat's partly correct10:31
shadeslayerwhat's wrong there  ? :)10:32
yofelupower goes kaput - should be "always_use_pm-utils_backend.patch"10:33
shadeslayerahhhh10:36
shadeslayerso upower always defaults to using pm-utils10:36
shadeslayerbut it doesn't work since I removed pm-utils10:36
yofelI think the logind backend actually does work in ubuntu with systemd-shim, but nobody bothered to really verify it and simply patched the support out10:37
shadeslayerwell if I call the suspend method in logind it works10:37
apacheloggeryofel, shadeslayer: actually we do, unless a user has kubuntu-desktop there is no relationship chain that would pull in plasma-nm when networkmanagement is removed10:42
shadeslayerapachelogger: right10:42
yofelgood point10:42
apacheloggerif the card/bug whatever did not mention the rationale then I am sorry for that, must have forgotten :P10:43

BluesKaj_Hey folks10:57
Riddellanyone got ideas for a name for a kubuntu blog?10:58
Riddellin the spirit of omg ubuntu10:58
BluesKaj_the kde network-manager doesn't seem to exist as a gui for the panel , it shows as installed and it's workng, but i need it for other networking apps that require a gui settings dialog 11:01
BluesKaj_font end in other words11:02
BluesKaj_just did a daily clean insttall to both / and /home11:03
RiddellBluesKaj_: there was an error in the last upload, see if there's a new version of plasma-nm to install11:12
BluesKaj_Riddell. ok , checking11:15
BluesKaj_Riddell. plasma-nm is installed , but it doesn't show in the panel widgets search11:18
RiddellBluesKaj_: is anything in the package?  dpkg -L plasma-nm11:21
apachelogger    lp = KDTLaunchpad.login_with(credentials_file=options.credentials_file, version="devel")11:22

apacheloggeryofel: didn't we have compat for 12.04?11:22
yofel*blink*11:23
apacheloggeroh it's using the wrong one11:23
apacheloggergod do I hate python modules11:23
apacheloggerhow do you set the python lib path again?11:23
BluesKaj_Riddell. yes it lists the locations11:24
yofelexport PYTHONPATH=foo11:24
apacheloggerrhz11:24
apacheloggerthx11:24
RiddellBluesKaj_: do you have /usr/lib/libplasmanm-internal.so ?11:26
apacheloggerthat seems to have done the trick \o/11:26
fritiWill the docs really live on the wiki from now on? I mean, really really?11:28
apacheloggeryes11:30
BluesKaj_Riddell. no , just some /usr/share/doc files11:30
apacheloggerRiddell: shadeslayer broke the package yesterday11:30
apacheloggersupposedly he forgot the .install file11:30
apacheloggerso both the transitional and the actual package were empty11:30
fritiapachelogger: That may work for the English docs, but what about localization?11:30
RiddellBluesKaj_: right, wait for the new package11:30
Riddellfriti: the export will go into launchpad to be translated is my plan11:31
apacheloggerfriti: I don't know, ask whoever decided that we should use moinmoin11:31
apacheloggerRiddell: that's incoherent11:31
BluesKaj_Riddell , ok , wait it is 11:31
apacheloggerthen you'd go wiki -> launchpad -> wiki11:31
apacheloggerbecause otherwise help.kubuntu is worthless unless one speaks english11:31
apacheloggerand then people will complain again about how we are english elitists etc. :P11:32
apacheloggerkeeping all that in mind translation must happen in the wiki11:33
apacheloggerfor which there is no architecture with moinmoin that we know abut11:33
fritiSuggestion, based on Riddell's model : Wiki (en) > LP > Wiki where the translated entry/enries will live in page/lang. For example http://wiki.kubuntu.org/Welcome/nl_NL11:34
apacheloggerwhy go through LP at all?11:34
fritiBecause LP works well for the translating process.11:34
apacheloggernot documentations11:35
Riddellwiki -> LP -> package/docs.kubuntu.org11:35
apacheloggerthat's madness11:35
apacheloggerstart using mediawiki11:35
apacheloggersolves all problems11:35
Riddellit's an idea11:36
fritiI wish the idea came BEFORE the docs were moved off of LP11:36
apacheloggerbut as I said during KDS or UDS or whatever it was .... ultimately someone needs to talk to upstream11:36
apacheloggerbecause upstream is not too happy with docbook either11:36
apacheloggerso synergies should be made use of11:36
apacheloggernot that we end up with translation architecture X and upstream with Y and then everything is terrible and unmaintained11:37
apacheloggerfriti: the idea is as old as the idea of moving docs to a wiki11:37
apacheloggerit's just that no one takes me serious11:38
fritiWell, as it stands now, Saucy will ship without a localized kubuntu-docs, and that does not show great foresight.11:38
Riddellit's not ideal but it's better than no docs in my opinion, more help always needed11:40
apacheloggerI am reasonable certain there never was any release that actually had localized docs in the release image :P11:40
RiddellI think nixternal did a few11:42
fritiI think it would be preferable to have the docs from oneiric included than to have no localized docs at all. There are many users who barely know how to introduce themselves in English, let alone read documentation in English.11:43
apacheloggerfriti: that's implying that the quantal docs had localization11:47
Riddellthey didn't11:48
Riddellalthough some teams did transate it in launchpad, it never got used, which is a shame11:48
apacheloggerwell, in all fairness, they did on launchpad :P11:48
fritiI have been working on them two days ago (en > nl), until i found out that the docs were moved away from LP. But if i were to know for sure that the Oneiric translations would get used, i would continue to work on them for the next few weeks.11:49
friti*would get used to base the newer docs off of11:49
apacheloggeroneiric is irrelevant, content-wise11:50
apacheloggerquantal also barely manages to stay relevant11:50
fritiNot entirely. There are sections that are still fully relevant11:50
apacheloggerand tehre are section that are utterly useless11:51
fritiExamples?11:51
apacheloggeroneiric had a different package manager, quantal had a different package manager.11:51
apacheloggerprinting is different since (I think quantal) and I doubt that the docs were updated for that11:52
fritiThose small changes do not invalidate the docs package as a whole11:52
apacheloggersmall? installing and managing the software on one's system is small? Oo11:53
fritiTo the system, those changes were anything but small, but as far as the docs go, it is11:53
apacheloggerok11:54
apacheloggerwe are not going to ship outdated documentation.11:55
Riddellshadeslayer: hmm11:59
fritiI am not saying that you should. Update the docs, but do not discard the entire package because a few chapters are no longer accurate. Updating the docs should be easy enough, but it just needs to be done. and then it can be shipped.11:59
Riddellshadeslayer: do you have any use of the three ec2 machines you launched in june running in tokyo?11:59
Riddellfriti: the old docs package was a nightmare to maintain, such that it caused people who were maintaining it to get divorced and have mental breakdowns12:00
apacheloggerfriti: we are a week from release. changing docs at this point is not an option.12:00
fritiWell, localized docs are an essential part of Kubuntu, it is a determining factor in the perception of user-friendliness for new(er) users. Especially for non--English speakers.12:03
apacheloggerYes! but what am I supposed to do a week from release?12:06
BluesKaj_friti. perhaps you can help 12:07
apacheloggerwe do not even have the automation to pull documentations from launchpad and into a package, or at least no one ever bothered to mention it12:07
apacheloggerwhich is why quantal documentations are actually not localized in terms of packaging12:07
apacheloggerthe documentation l10n in saucy is not going to be any more broken than it was before, however now there is a real opportunity to get it fixed in a scalable fashion and at the same time align our documentation procedure with what upstream may want to do in the future12:08
fritiI still say that a new system should have been ready to take its place before scrapping the old. The way it's done now is way messy and will leave users and translation teams hanging until a new system has been decided upon and implemented. It's all very very sloppy.12:10
friti(forgot the documenters, i should have mentioned them too)12:11
shadeslayerRiddell: o_o12:13

ScottKshadeslayer: Off and on.  Ask in #u-r and I'll react if I'm available.13:39
shadeslayerRiddell: apachelogger thoughts on implementing the driver stuff in the same kcm category as "About System" ? ( Seems like a better place to put it )13:48
shadeslayeras opposed to s-p-k13:48
ScottKs-p-k?13:48
shadeslayersoftware-properties-kde13:48
ScottKAh.13:48
apacheloggershadeslayer: yes, but the thing is that spk core has the codez to manage that rubbish13:48
soeeRiddell, thanks13:48
apacheloggerso no clue how practical it is to separate things13:48
ScottKWe do need to get off of using Jockey and start using ubuntu-drivers (or whatever it's called) as a back end.13:49
ScottKAIUI, we're the only remaining user of Jockey, so it's totally unmaintained.13:49
shadeslayerScottK: and that's what I'm fixing13:49
ScottKshadeslayer: Excellent.13:49
shadeslayerapachelogger: well, there's a softwareproperties python3 module13:49
Riddellshadeslayer: yeah, keep it simple and just translate the gtk code to qt I'd say13:52
Riddellshadeslayer: about system is informational so it doesn't make sense to have the code there13:52
shadeslayerRiddell: sure, but it won't be a tab under about distro, it'll be another entry in the side list13:53
shadeslayerlike in Account Details has a list on the side13:53
RiddellI'd rather it was in muon, that's where software installation is13:53
shadeslayertrue13:54
apacheloggerit's not installation13:54
shadeslayerit's not?13:54
apacheloggernot from a perception POV13:54
apacheloggerit's driver management13:55
shadeslayeryou're installing drivers -> installation?13:55
apacheloggerthat happens to be able to install drivers and drirvers are software13:55
apacheloggershadeslayer: no, you are managing drivers13:55
shadeslayerI see13:55
apacheloggeryou could just as well have combobox selecting the video driver you want to use13:56
apachelogger(*) nvidia13:56
apachelogger( ) nv13:56
apachelogger( ) rubbish13:56
shadeslayerapachelogger: but my system has a bunch of other stuff13:56
shadeslayerlike broadcom wifi drivers13:56
apacheloggeryes13:56
apacheloggeryou could also have a combobox for the wifi driver :P13:56
apacheloggermy point is.. you are manging what driver ought to be used, not what driver is installed13:57
shadeslayer*nod*13:57
shadeslayerapachelogger: and putting it under the same category as "About System" is fine with you?13:57
apacheloggerabout-distro has a category?13:57
apacheloggersystem administration?13:58
shadeslayerX-KDE-System-Settings-Parent-Category is what I was talking about14:00
shadeslayeryeah14:00
shadeslayerfor eg : X-KDE-System-Settings-Parent-Category="About System" , then have about-distro and the driver manager under there14:01
apacheloggernot so sure about that TBH14:05
apacheloggergnome does it that way for 3d settings IIRC14:05
apacheloggerdidn't seem particularly obvious to me14:05
apacheloggershadeslayer: maybe discuss on lsit14:05

yofelyeah, it's theoretically there - but not used because kde only loads /usr/lib/kde4/kpythonpluginfactory.so14:17

apacheloggeryes14:22
apacheloggerwtf14:22
* apachelogger sighs14:28
apacheloggershadeslayer: non trivial breakage14:29
apacheloggerneeds poking14:29
apacheloggerwe could easily make it so that it always picks up settings-active14:29
apacheloggerbut then it must depends settings-active14:29
apacheloggeroh, maybe it doesn't actually14:30
ScottKyofel and shadeslayer: Do we still need the python2 one?14:30
shadeslayerI have no idea14:32
yofelsame14:33
yofelthere are several applications in /usr/share/kde4/services/ so I think we do14:35
yofel... that use it ...14:35
ScottKOK.14:44
* ScottK wonders if Arch has patches to make all that stuff python3?14:45
apacheloggerfixed active http://i.imgur.com/Zl8X4zm.png14:49
yofelpossibly, though looking closer, what I have here is: usermanager (obsolete), syntapiks (we really need to figure that out...), system-config-printer-kde (what was that?), plasma's python scriptengine (probably most problematic)14:50
apacheloggers/usermanager/userconfig14:51
yofeler, right14:51
apacheloggersystem-config-printer-kde is the printer-appelt config14:51
apacheloggerwhich Riddell should do something with upstream14:51
apacheloggerdeprecate or somethign14:51
shadeslayer<infinity> shadeslayer: I believe kubuntu-active was marked disabled in the ISO tracker, because someone didn't want them to be in milestones/release.  Has that position changed?14:52
shadeslayerwhy this is going to be fun14:52
apacheloggermh14:52
apacheloggerI think that only affected ARM?14:52
apacheloggeror perhaps because it was entirely fckd until yesterday?14:53

shadeslayerapachelogger: you'll need to explain the LP process a bit to me20:15
R33D3M33Rwhen I built the l10n, a bunch of these were created20:15

R33D3M33Rin order to prevent them from appearing in kdesvn, I just added them to ignore20:15

R33D3M33Ri'm not sure, I was thinking this was local computer only20:16
yofelthe ones in the folder levels above do seem to get auto-generated by the release scripts20:16

apacheloggerfind out if kdesudo templates are imported and translated in saucy20:18
apacheloggerif not there is lp:kdesudo which should have translations20:19
apacheloggerthen you either write a script or manually download the translations and put them in bzr20:19
apacheloggerthen you roll a tar from bzr20:19
yofelR33D3M33R: no idea, I don't know much about l10n - I just went by what I saw when comparing sl and de ^^20:19
R33D3M33Rthis might really be the cause ... because nothing else changed20:20

ahoneybunI would to get what we have finalize first then have the installation on a +1 or the next LTS23:00
ahoneybun*to like to get what23:00
ahoneybunwhat do you think23:08
ahoneybun?23:08
valoriedefinitely23:10
valoriewe can get those mini-docs prepared as well, so we have something for the translators23:10
valoriethey are starting to ask23:11
valorienot sure you noticed23:11
valoriethank you so much for thinking big, aaron23:11
valorieyou kickstarted us23:11
valorieand though I really miss darkwing, I think we can get it done with the new crew we have23:11
ahoneybunI miss him too23:14
ahoneybunyes I noticed one person23:14
ahoneybunwhat should be in the mini-docs?23:14
skellatahoneybun valorie: There is an Ubuntu Documentation Project meeting coming up and a Doodle poll is happening to fix a date & time.  Jack Fromm & I will be there to represent Xubuntu.  If you want to join in, contribute to the Doodle poll http://doodle.com/75zbukag5fgk8ri4 and talk to pleia2 about getting a Kubuntu Documentation team added under the Ubuntu Documentation Project umbrella perhaps.  There may not be much there useful for flavors 23:15
valoriethanks, skellat23:16
valoriewhat do you do for xubuntu docs?23:16
ahoneybunskellat: thank you for the info though, yes that would be great and it could get more people involved23:16
valorieahoneybun: so much less than we used to have, IMO23:17
valorieand links to our new docs23:17
valoriepermanent links, not to the wiki23:17
ahoneybunvalorie: Riddell was talking about linking our server to the main kubuntu site23:18
skellatvalorie: I help write, update things, and make sure it gets into the sponsorship queue for upload23:18
valoriebut I mean, what is there for content other than the standard ubuntu docs?23:18
valoriewhat do you ship, and what do you have on your website?23:19
valoriesheesh, that is basic info I should know already23:19
valorieduh23:19
skellatvalorie: We seed apt-offline so we've got a chapter on how to use it.  I've got tentative tasks for 14.04 to write some more in-depth stuff.  You can find it at http://docs.xubuntu.org23:19
skellatWhich mirrors what we ship in the xubuntu-docs package23:19
valorieah, I do remember looking at that23:19
valorieso you ship a big set of docs23:19
skellatYeah23:20
valoriedo you get good translations?23:20
skellatI'm not plugged in on the translation side, alas.  I heard from a PT translator that he's going to work hard to get it all translated for 14.04.23:20
valorieI think it's really important to have at least the core docs well-translated23:21
valorieapps and stuff like that, we can rely more on the KDE translations23:21
skellatThe delta between 13.04 and 13.10 wasn't too bad so there wasn't much to change translations for.  We had to search & destroy all references to the pidgin-microblog package as it is hopelessly broken but beyond that we did some tweaking this round.23:21
ahoneybunskellat: valorie and I were thinking of having the main in english but have a mini set so it is easy to translate23:21
valorieand i think the ubuntu docs are generally well done23:21
ahoneybunvalorie: I think it would be a great idea to go 23:22
valorieyeah, that's the problem with having much about specific packages23:22
ahoneybunI already did the poll skellat23:22
valoriethey change23:22
valorieimo better to have links23:23
ahoneybunlinks?23:23
valorieand let the app devels do the translations23:23
skellatvalorie: We update it as time goes by.  LTS requires attention but it works.  Since Xfce does some stuff differently than you'd see in Unity, we have to explain those processes.23:23
valoriefor instance we have a list of games, but aside from a short phrase about each, there is basically a link to the kdegames page about it23:24
valorieskellat: yes, same here23:24
valorieKDE provides different fuctionality than Unity23:24
skellatOur seeding doesn't change too drastically.  As to pidgin-microblog, I also wound up doing merge proposals to get it completely unseeded as it is just broken and now orphaned in Debian.  We got it unseeded in Lubuntu and Xubuntu as of 13.10 so nobody will ship it on-disc.  Kinda drastic but also a rare case.23:25
valorieyeah, the kde version is pretty broken as well23:27
ahoneybunvalorie: can you make a few changes on the trello so we can see what we want in the mini-docs23:27
valorieI don't think we've shipped it for awhile23:27
valorieahoneybun: that requires thinking23:27
valoriewhich..... I can't do at the moment23:27
* skellat disappears so as to deal with LoCo-related matters23:28
valoriebut I'll open the page for when my brain is working23:28
