tester56hi, is there already an ppa with kde 4.12 builds?10:23
tsimpsontester56: 4.11.2 is the latest release10:27
tester56tsimpson, yeah i know ... just wanted to see what the next cycle brings10:46
shadeslayervalorie: Quintasan yofel sorry about last night, I left the office for a early dinner and then ... things went as they usually do on a friday11:53
soeegood morning11:56
shadeslayerafternoon soee11:57
shadeslayerScottK has my new number, but seeing how he's away this weekend :P11:58
apacheloggerQuintasan: didn't you say you'd fix the marble-qt bug? :P12:30
apacheloggerQuintasan: actually that appears to be an upstream issue12:53
apacheloggerthere is only one desktop file and it got Exec=marble %F so that would not workanyway12:54
apachelogger    install (TARGETS marble-qt RUNTIME DESTINATION bin )12:54
apachelogger    install( FILES marble.desktop DESTINATION ${APPS_INSTALL_DIR})12:54
* apachelogger attempts uefi install with proposed auto-upgrade13:00
yofelshadeslayer: I assumed as much ;P13:09
apacheloggerScottK, shadeslayer: enabling updates in ubiquity will lead to fixed grub on UEFI \o/13:19
shadeslayerapachelogger: awesome :D13:44
yossarianukapachelogger: is that the case now?14:22
yossarianuki.e I can just do a normal install wuth updates and it should all be fine and dandy.14:22
yossarianukshadeslayer: sorry - have the grub updates been put in normal updates now :?14:39
shadeslayerdoesn't look like it14:40
shadeslayeryossarianuk: I suppose apachelogger modified ubiquity or sth14:41
yossarianukah ok - thanks14:41
apacheloggerreading helps a lot15:07
shadeslayerapachelogger: ubiquity has a 'upgrade from -proposed' option?15:10
apacheloggerno, I described one though15:15
apacheloggerthat being said... debian-intaller has one, so you could technically set it on the d-i database15:15
apacheloggeralas, I have no clue how to do that :P15:15
shadeslayerright15:16

ubottuUbuntu bug 1243399 in acpi-support (Ubuntu) "powers off instead of sleep under KDE4" [Undecided,Confirmed]15:45
akoma1sHi all, I have attached a patch that fixes the above bug (new in 13.10), could someone review it please?15:46
ahoneybunhey littlegirl 15:55
littlegirlHey there, ahoneybun. I'm sorry about how it went yesterday. I hope that us joking around a bit lightened it a bit for you.15:56
littlegirlAlso, I would *not* have wanted to answer some of those questions, and I can already tell you that I will never voluntarily put myself through that. I'll just remain a drive-by contributor. (:15:56
ahoneybunlittlegirl, its fine 15:57
ahoneybunlol15:57
littlegirlAre you gonna try it again some time?15:57
ahoneybunlittlegirl, depends how the list goes15:57
ahoneybunI still don't know if I am a member yet15:58
ahoneybunneed 2 more votes out of the other 4 members15:58
littlegirlWell, you're definitely enthusiastic. (:15:58
ahoneybunKC15:58
littlegirlOh! You mean it could still go your way?15:58
ahoneybunyep :) 15:58
ahoneybunonly  2 of the 6 were here15:58
littlegirlAh, well, then I'll cross my fingers for you that it worked. (:15:58
ahoneybunthe other 4 need to vote15:59
littlegirlAre the other four gonna read through the logs and decide later?15:59
ahoneybunMailing List and that15:59
* littlegirl is starting to think the charcoal stuff might not have been such a good idea after all if they're gonna wade through it. (:15:59
* apachelogger would like to reassure littlegirl that those were nice questions :P15:59
ahoneybunbtw nice work akoma1s I don't know how to review that but still liek the work15:59
ahoneybun*like16:00
littlegirlapachelogger: LOL, I about fell off my chair when they asked ahoneybun what's different about Kubuntu from other operating systems that offer KDE. My answer would have been, "Uh... uhhhhmmmmm....." (:16:00
akoma1sthanks :)16:00
ahoneybunjust wondering what would you have voted  apachelogger 16:00
* littlegirl doesn't check out the competition16:00
akoma1sI'd be glad if someone pulled the right strings if it's an acceptable solution, as acpi-support seems unmaintained to me.16:00
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I hoped around a lot16:01
yossarianukmost others don;t have an ubuntu base.....16:01
apacheloggerahoneybun: I am not on the council anymore, I don't have opinions :P16:01
* littlegirl nods at ahoneybun16:01
ahoneybunapachelogger, your still a person lol16:01
yossarianukUbuntu have a good base - shame about its default (spam) desktop16:01
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I did like Arch but a bit unstable with the updates16:02
ahoneybunI broke my system once or twice16:02
littlegirlahoneybun: I tried Debian at one point, but it doesn't hold your hand the way Kubuntu does, and it leaves you to figure a lot of stuff out. The only other thing I've ever compared Kubuntu with was my son's copy of Ubuntu, which didn't look like anything I'd want to use. After that I just stuck with Kubuntu. (:16:02
apacheloggerahoneybun: I agree with what valorie said though .... most members only applied after a year or so ... so becoming member is a motivational factor for a year and then it becomes a reward for a year of steady contribution16:03
littlegirlOnly eight months to go, ahoneybun. (:16:03
ahoneybunapachelogger, I do think I can contribute  more16:03
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I think I have been working for about 4-5 months16:04
yossarianuklittlegirl: debian's kde version is very behind the present stable - its like running kde from 2 years ago...16:04
ahoneybunI think a little after 13.04 came out16:04
littlegirlyossarianuk: I loved KDE3. I wish they were still using it. (:16:04
yossarianukI meant like KDE4 was 2 years ago....16:05
yossarianuki.e missing out on quite a lot . 16:05
yossarianuk(maybe its more 1 year ago...)16:05
littlegirlOh, okay, then that's awful. KDE4 still has some kinks to iron out. (:16:05
apacheloggerahoneybun: amount of contribution doesn't really matter, also docs alone is a very sizable contribution already16:05
ahoneybunapachelogger, not that amount matter but I could do more just to do more :)16:05
littlegirlyossarianuk: Apparently someone took KDE3 and is continuing to work on it under a new name. I will keep my eye out for it and if it becomes mature, I'll probably use it. (:16:06
apacheloggermore is always nice ;)16:06
apacheloggerit was mature 4 years ago16:06
apacheloggernow it is just broken16:06
littlegirlapachelogger: I mean the new one. It's called Trinity or something like that, and at this point it's probably still considered a start-up compared with other desktops. (:16:07
apacheloggerit's not new16:07
apacheloggerit started right after KDE 4.1 originally as a continuation of Kubuntu KDE 3 packages16:07
ahoneybunlittlegirl, btw I'm on Ubuntu right now not Kubuntu 16:08
littlegirlahoneybun: Really? How come? That's actually kind of funny. I use Kubuntu and was doing a lot of Kubuntu documentation work and now I do a lot of Ubuntu documentation work but I use Kubuntu. (:16:08
apacheloggerthe problem is KDE 3 was big and a rather sizable team maintained it, it is not something one guy could move forward in their spare time16:08
littlegirlapachelogger: Is there hope for the team that took it over?16:09
apacheloggerso what you get by now is a desktop that will either have partially broken features or features that are simply no longer available16:09
ahoneybunlittlegirl, just wanted to see Unity in 13.10, very smooth tbh16:09
apacheloggerhalf the middleware that builds a system right now did not exist back then and hence there is no support for it16:09
apacheloggerlittlegirl: very unlikely16:10
littlegirlahoneybun: I tried it in a VM and it's not for me. If it had a normal menu I'd give it more than a quick glance, but that strip of icons down the side is a deal breaker for me. (:16:10
apacheloggeryou basically have to write a whole bunch of stuff from scratch16:10
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I like it 16:10
apacheloggerlike HAL which was used for hardware stuff... doesn't even exist anymore16:10
apacheloggersystemd/logind/upstart did not exist16:10
littlegirlapachelogger: That's a shame. I'd love to see Kubuntu return to it. I loved it, and found its way of being controlled (like how it behaves or looks) to be easier to manage than KDE4. KDE4 is also *way* more resource intensive.16:10
apacheloggerpulseaudio did not exist16:10
apacheloggerlittlegirl: that's actually not true ... by default it is more resource intensive because it has all the goodyness16:11
littlegirlahoneybun: I can see where it would be nice on a tablet, though. (:16:11
apacheloggerhowever if you take away the goodyness it is about the same as KDE316:12
littlegirlapachelogger: Yeah, and I'm a simple kind of girl. I don't use all the goodyness. Just the basics. (:16:12
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I like KDE Active then that16:12
littlegirlahoneybun: Yep, I'm waiting for them to get done testing it on my tablet and then I'll install it. I'm all kinds of excited about it, because the Android interface is terrible, and I've been a Kubuntu user for years, so it would be nice to have Kubuntu on the tablet as well. (:L16:13
ahoneybunlittlegirl, the one based on SUSE is nice on the Nexus 7 just needed more testing16:13
littlegirlahoneybun: I'll wait for Kubuntu Active, because from what I saw it looks really nice. (:16:13
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I just like deb more then rpm and know it better16:14
littlegirlKubuntu trumps Ubuntu by having Kubuntu Active as a separate thing from Kubuntu. Ubuntu seems to be doing its tablet interface in the main OS. Kubuntu wins. (:16:14
littlegirlSame here, ahoneybun. I have no working knowledge of rpm. (:16:15
apachelogger(Kubuntu Active will not get hardware support unless someone works on it)16:15
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I have messed with Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Debian, Kubuntu, Ubuntu,16:15
littlegirlapachelogger: Luckily one of the test tablets is the same tablet I have. (:16:16
apacheloggeri.e. to get stuff working sensible on device X one needs to do all sorts of tweaking and kernel building and stuff, and all that work does not mean it will work on device Y16:16
apacheloggerterribly impractical16:16
littlegirlahoneybun: You've messed with more systems than I have!16:16
apacheloggerlittlegirl: goody16:16
Quintasanhell16:16
Quintasanapachelogger: I just arrived at the same conclusion16:16
QuintasanI should have bothered to check IRC before doing anything16:17
apacheloggerconclusion: when apachelogger highlights you, read what apachelogger wrote.16:17
littlegirlapachelogger: Yeah, I was very excited to find that out. It means I'll be able to Just Use It when the time comes rather than having to do any tweaks or work-arounds, because they'll have tested the heck out of it on my device. (:16:17
Quintasanapachelogger: The worst thing is that you usually hurl garbage at me when you ping me16:17
Quintasan:P16:17

QuintasanDiverting apachelogger's rage towards shadeslayer...Done.16:19
yossarianukIt is mushroom reason here......16:19
yossarianuk*season*16:19
littlegirlahoneybun: I haven't checked lately. Let me know if they've got it running well on the Nexus. (:16:19
ahoneybunlittlegirl, nexus 7?16:20
littlegirlahoneybun: Yep!16:20
ahoneybunI have that as well16:20
littlegirlahoneybun: They're testing on it, which means when they get it working, it will work for us. (:16:21
ahoneybunyep16:21
ahoneybunlatest is 13.0416:22
littlegirlahoneybun: I can't wait. It will be so nice to properly be able to transfer data between my computer and the tablet. Right now I can do it, but I'm always converting stuff, because they don't both run the same software. (:16:22
ahoneybunlittlegirl, I think I will test Ubuntu touch first16:26
littlegirlahoneybun: Sorry, had to go for a bit. Let me know how that goes with Ubuntu touch. (:17:08
ahoneybunlittlegirl, glitchly17:30
littlegirlahoneybun: I'll wait until Kubuntu Active is rock solid and then grab it. (:17:32
Quintasanlittlegirl: That's going to take a lot of time17:33
QuintasanI've been running Plasma Active on Archos Gen9 and it's a long way from what I could call "smooth" or "rock solid"17:33
Quintasanthe worst thing is that we don't have a Nexus-class device where we could actually see how it works when optimized.17:34
QuintasanSince graphics drivers are mostly binary blobs17:34
Quintasanat least on ARM-based devices17:34
QuintasanThere's been the Vivaldi project but I have absolutely no idea at what stage is it.17:35
QuintasanOr if it's even still alive for that matter.17:35
littlegirlQuintasan: I'm patient. (:17:37
QuintasanI believe it's a matter of how long the market is willing to wait17:37
littlegirlQuintasan: Right now my tablet is an overgrown toy that I use for purely entertainment purposes. If it could run Kubuntu, however, it would suddenly become another environment capable of handling the documents I work on on my computer.17:37
littlegirlQuintasan: Sadly, there is yet to be a personal wiki or tree-style information manager that works on both Android and Kubuntu and can interchange information, so currently I do converstions and have to make changes at either end when transferring stuff, so I don't do anything big on the tablet.17:38
ahoneybunlittlegirl, Kubuntu would be nice18:06
ahoneybunis nice on the Nexus 718:06
littlegirlahoneybun: I'll bet. (:18:09
