ahoneybunhey jose how is the new site going?00:59
joseahoneybun: hey! I pretty much like it, it's very stable, but we've still got some things to look after00:59
ahoneybunjose, I see ovidiu-florin is looking to edit it even more with html/css with the help of the evolve theme team who made the theme 01:00
ScottKapachelogger: Both accepted.  Thanks.01:00
joseahoneybun: not sure how that's going to go, haven't heard from him in a good while01:01
josebut I can help with whatever needed, just let me know :)01:01

RiddellScottK: it's not been decided if we'll ship with plasma 1 or plasma 5, I'd be all for shipping with plasma 5 if it's at all sane07:29
lordievaderGood morning.07:47
Riddellit's olivier!07:51
lordievaderHey Riddell, how are you doing?07:51
Riddellnervous, got a plasma beta due today, wonder if I can do it successfully07:52
Riddelljust some little tars, how hard can it be?07:53
lordievaderI'm sure you will be successful :)07:53
lordievaderI mean look at Trusty, that right there is proof that you and the rest of the Kubuntu team are capable of awesome!07:54

Riddell"trying to overwrite '/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.ufw.policy', which is also in package build 20140504-1" looks like something they've installed08:52
Riddelllordievader: if they run dpkg -S /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.ufw.policy they might find out what it is08:53
Riddellor they can just force the matter with  dpkg --install --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/ufw-kde_0.5.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb08:53
lordievaderProblem solved, thanks apachelogger, Riddell.08:58
ovidiu-florinhello world09:37
ovidiu-florinjose: the progress with the theme should be on the mail list.09:37
ovidiu-florinI've been colaboratig with Robert in getting the child theme going09:37

apacheloggerovidiu-florin: french greeting ~= hi10:15
ovidiu-florinapachelogger: salut ?10:15
ovidiu-florinI just wanted to make sure, because it's the same in romanian, and I suspected Kmail tried to translate the email somehow. Since I've seen this before.10:17
apacheloggerkmail translating emails would be fancy10:17
shadeslayer^^10:20
BluesKaj'Morning folks11:09
ScottKRiddell: I thought we did decide.11:45
RiddellI don't think it's been discussed too much11:47
Riddellwe're got a meeting on monday to kick off that discussion11:47
yofelFWIW, I'm for first keeping it in a PPA for testing and do the final decision some time before FF.12:03
yofel(I wouldn't mind putting a TECHPREVIEW stamp on 14.10 but I'm not sure if that's the best thing to do)12:03
Quintasanyofel: You know, 4.0 also had the TP stamp on it and everyone started bashing12:11
Quintasan:P12:11
yofelhency my opinion on this ^^12:11
yofel-y12:11
RiddellQuintasan: with 4.0 we released two versions of kubuntu, 1 the LTS with KDE 3 and 1 with big warnings with 4.012:16
Riddellbut now we've just had an LTS12:16
Riddellso we can put the big warnings on the main release12:16
QuintasanRiddell: I do realise that the thing is that Technical Preview doesnt stop anyone from using that and the proceding with bashing12:16
Riddellit's also questionable if we want to put technical preview on a main kubuntu release12:20
apacheloggeractually12:34
apacheloggerpeople didn't bash 4.0 on kubuntu12:34
apacheloggerthey did however for 4.1 which IIRC we shipped by default in the release after LTS12:34
yofel4.1 was in intrepid, right12:35
apacheloggerso it does in fact make a difference whether you put an unpolished software stack on a secondary ISO that people may choose to test, or whether you offer it to people as a regular release ISO12:35
alleeIs it intentional that in precise the upgrade from kde 4.12 -> 4.13 does not install baloo pkg? 12:39
apacheloggerif I had a say in it there would not have been 4.13 for precise :P12:40
* yofel thought we at least had a recommends on baloo *somewhere* other than the metapackage12:41
yofelQuintasan: btw. any news wrt. sddm?12:43
yofelthere was some rather confusing posts on the debian RFP/lp bug12:43
Riddellhasn't shadeslayer packaged sddm that for the neon5 iso?12:49
shadeslayerRiddell: I have, though it needs work13:36
Odur_Dang... I,ve found a regression in 14.0413:42
shadeslayerOdur_: hm?13:42
Odur_When I hotplug my USB headset it only get registerd by pulseaudio as stereo output, but if it's connected while booting it's stereo duplex13:43
RiddellOdur_: does it work otherwise?13:45
RiddellI don't know what stereo duplex means13:45
Odur_both input and output13:45
Odur_This time it gets registred as Mono Input, but no output... Erratic behaviour13:46
Riddellit's been my experience that sometimes it works and sometimes not so much13:46
Odur_Riddell: So, if I boot with the headset connectet it's just fine, but if I connect it after login it's just output OR input only, It has worked flawless in both 13.10 and 13.0413:47
RiddellOdur_: it'll be the change to gstreamer 1.013:48
Odur_Ok, so gstreamer handles hardware Initialization?13:49
RiddellOdur_: phonon-gstreamer should set it up with pulseaudio13:50
Riddellit's all horribly complex13:50
Riddellask apachelogger where to send bugs13:50
apacheloggerto mikey mouse13:50
apacheloggerOdur_: you'll want to report a bug against pulseaudio13:51
Riddellapachelogger: he will?13:51
Riddellfor something that worked with phonon-gstreamer 0.10 ?13:51
Odur_:)13:52
apacheloggeroh13:52
apacheloggerI don't see the relation tbh :P13:52
Mamarokso apparently we have some transcoding problems on Amarok on Trusty, could somebody check this, please? -> https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=120863&p=310135#p31013513:52
apacheloggerphonon gstreamer is not the only thing that changed in 14.04 :P13:52
MamarokI can transcode OK, and I don't remember having installed anything extra, but maybe that was a long time ago and some dependencies changed13:53
apacheloggerthe thing is, phonon/gstreamer do next to no hardware fiddling, so if stuff shows up incorrectly in the phonon KCM that is most likley a problem with pulseaudio and/or the driver13:53
Mamaroksince I use Amarok from git I can't really judge13:53
Odur_apachelogger: That was my first thought too13:54
apacheloggerMamarok: nothing we can do about that, ffmpeg is a foundations thing13:54
apacheloggerhe probably should file a bug against libav, but I doubt they will care much and say amarok needs support for avconv13:55
Mamarokapachelogger: gah...13:55
Mamarokcouldn't we do a trick by dragging in ffmpeg? There is a transitional package13:55
apacheloggerthat transits to libav-tools13:56
apacheloggerand from what I heared the commandline args are simply different13:56
Odur_Hmm.. alsamixer sees both input and output14:03

Etriaphovidiu-florin: ping14:39
Riddellhi Etriaph 14:42
EtriaphHi Riddell!14:42
RiddellEtriaph: are you helping ovidiu-florin with the new website?14:42
EtriaphRiddell: Ya, trying to.  The theme that's been chosen has turned out to be a bit obtuse when creating a child theme, so we've done some back and forth on options14:43
RiddellEtriaph: why does it need a child theme? (what does that mean exactly?)14:43
EtriaphRiddell: WordPress allows you to create a child of another theme (inherits the parent CSS, JS, display header/footer, in theory); however, Evolve doesn't take nicely to it.  Some of the CSS doesn't come across and the Bootstrap usage for the caroussel is enitrely broken.14:44
EtriaphEvolve is both a GPL and commercial theme, so getting support from them is not easy.14:45
EtriaphRiddell: A child theme is created when you want to add your own CSS but want to ensure you can still get updates from the parent safely14:45
EtriaphRiddell: But... it doesn't quite work. :)14:47

* ovidiu-florin is here14:55
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: pong14:55
Etriaphovidiu-florin: G'day!  Nothing yet from the Evolve team.  14:55
Etriaphovidiu-florin: We can fork this by doing an SVN export of the 2.9.1 version, but I'm not sure we can fork it in their SVN14:56
ovidiu-florinwe don't have to get access to their SVN14:56
Etriaphovidiu-florin: The solution I had come up with involving making symbolic links to those folders will work just fine if they update the theme.14:57
ovidiu-florinwe can just get the current version and start our own repo14:57
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: I like that Ideea14:57
Etriaphovidiu-florin: Well that's what I meant, do an SVN export and create a repo elsewhere.14:57
Etriaphovidiu-florin: Do you want to see it working?  I can give you a link to my local machine.14:57
ovidiu-florinok14:58
Etriaphk, one sec, gotta configure router14:58
Etriaphhttp://99.224.66.135/14:59
EtriaphIn this case, updating Evolve is still fully possible as they likely won't move those folders.  I would setup a staging vhost though just to be sure.15:00
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: it does not look right here15:01
Etriaphovidiu-florin: Can you take a screenshot for me?  Just want to know what you're seeing15:02
Etriaphhttp://wstaw.org/m/2014/05/09/plasma-desktopLG2343.png is what I get15:04
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: http://postimg.org/image/vu84pd4jh/15:04
EtriaphCan you view the source and pastebin me what's in the <head> tags?15:05
EtriaphThe vhost I use is kubuntu.dev, it's in my hosts file, it may just be a name resolution issue.15:05
EtriaphIf you add that to your hosts file it might clear it up15:05
kfunkEtriaph: wow. what theme (window / borders style) is that?15:08
Etriaphkfunk: qtCurve, my own theme15:08
* kfunk wants15:08
Etriaphkfunk: Give me a sec and I'll throw it on kde-look15:08
Etriaphkfunk: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=16519015:15
EtriaphIncludes the background too.15:15
Etriaphovidiu-florin: If you do: sudo echo "99.224.66.135     kubuntu.dev" >> /etc/hosts15:16
Etriaphovidiu-florin: It should clear it up.  I'm assuming that $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is being used in the head to make the links15:17
* Etriaph will be right back, need to save toddler15:18
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: yup, it works now15:21
kfunkEtriaph: awesome, thanks15:24
Etriaphovidiu-florin: OK, so if you want to avoid forking it, you can create the symlinks as I'd mentioned in the email.15:28
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: ok, I'll do that for now15:28
ovidiu-florinGreat suggestion15:28
EtriaphBut if you're a stickler for security in the webserver (as I would be) make sure to make a <Directory> entry allowing symbolic links to be followed.15:28
* ovidiu-florin is feeling low today15:28
Etriaphovidiu-florin: I feel low every day, fibromyalgia15:28
shadeslayerI feel low every day too, I'm on earth15:29
Etriaphovidiu-florin: Knocked me out of work about a year ago, still waiting to get into a pain clinic to learn to live with it; upside is I have loads of free time on disability to help out with stuff :)15:29
Etriaphshadeslayer: Low is relative depending on where you live above sea level :)15:30
shadeslayerpretty sure Barcelona is at sea level15:30
Etriaphovidiu-florin: OK, so I'll start taking a look at the other tasks then15:30
Etriaphshadeslayer: I would say so :)15:30
Etriaphovidiu-florin: The remaining list looks like a lot of hands on with WordPress, aside from the accordian.  Are you looking to source an accordian plugin for this?15:34
Etriaphkfunk: np, hope you enjoy it :)15:38
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: not really15:39
ovidiu-florinthat code was written by a friend and it's inserted in the post as JS15:40
Etriaphovidiu-florin: OK, is there anything else that I can do to assist you?15:40
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: let me see15:42
ovidiu-florindid you see the email I sent to Octavio?15:43
ovidiu-florinyesterday15:44
ovidiu-florinit's on the mail list15:45
EtriaphYes, but I had held off taking any action as I figured he might.15:45
EtriaphAnd I can't login to Etherpad for link 215:45
EtriaphI'm not design-impaired, so I can give some of this a shot.  Let me see what I can come up with in the next couple of days regarding layout (link 4) and if I can find a way to get into link 2 I might tackle what I see there too.15:47
Etriaphovidiu-florin: OK, I have a good chunk of stuff I can work on with link 2 and 4 from that email; I'll consider a way to implement and have more information probably by Sunday.  If everyone can agree on the layouts/solution I come up with I'll grab the ball on them.  Sound fair?15:52
ovidiu-florinEtriaph: you need a KDE identity account to see that etherpad15:53
Etriaphovidiu-florin: Yup, just set it up :)15:53

Etriaphkfunk: How's that theme working out for you?16:38
Etriaphkfunk: I like feedback :)16:38
kfunkEtriaph: still trying it out. I need a day or so to get used to it. :)16:46
kfunklooks promising so far, didn't use your color scheme, though16:46
kfunkthe color scheme is a bit too monochrome for my taste16:46
Etriaphkfunk: It should work well with any colour scheme.  I originally used a colourful one, but I tend towards something that doesn't distract me from work16:47
Etriaphkfunk: Would like to see what colour scheme you chose if you happen to have the file handy.16:48
kfunksure, sec16:48
kfunkEtriaph: http://imagebin.org/30989517:02
EtriaphThat's a great colour scheme, would you mind adding it to kde-look.org at some point?17:02
EtriaphI've never tried using 'Upload Scheme'17:03
EtriaphI don't know if that's opendesktop as a whole, or if it partitions it to the correct site17:03
kfunkEtriaph: tab widgets (the tabs themselves) look a bit odd in your style. could use a bit more padding.17:06
EtriaphYa, I couldn't figure out how to make tabs look great; I wanted to flatten them out and round them a bit more, just didn't see where to do it.  It took me about three hours to get it to where it is.17:06
