Riddellshadeslayer, apachelogger ↑12:21

shadeslayerjust force overwrite12:21

Riddellwhee, another nice kubuntu derivative distro http://people.ubuntu.com/~jr/univention.png12:22
apacheloggershadeslayer: reckon that needs fixing upstream btw?12:23
apacheloggermakes sddm and lightdm not coinstallable, users aint gonna like that12:23
apacheloggerRiddell: I lik ehow that plasma panel has a rendering bug there12:24
Riddellapachelogger: where?12:24
turgaywhat results?12:25
shadeslayerapachelogger: no, d__ed recommends just breaking/replacing the file12:26
shadeslayerRiddell: in the systray12:26
shadeslayerand in the time plasmoid12:26
shadeslayerand underneath the task manager12:26
Riddellshadeslayer: that's the wallpaper used for the panel12:27
shadeslayerwhat12:28
apacheloggershadeslayer: that won't work for kubuntu proper12:32
apacheloggerbest that can get is an alternates which is slightly shitty entirely shitty12:33
apacheloggeror a debconf thingy which is also slightly crap12:33
apacheloggerRiddell: ah, oddest background ever12:34
agateauRiddell: regarding t-shirts: don't think we'll end up getting them, remaining sizes are too "exotic"12:35
* Riddell blogs http://wire.kubuntu.org/?p=15512:37
alketAre you going to remove firefox ?12:39
shadeslayerapachelogger: depends on when update alternatives is triggered, if it's triggered after the debconf dialog to choose between lightdm and sddm, we can do changes based on that answer12:43
shadeslayerman page doesn't say12:45
yofelso far the debconf dialog does nothing other than setting /etc/X11/default-display-manager12:46
shadeslayeryofel: right, we could just read that and run update alternatives accordingly?12:46
yofelpossibly, which will probably work until the point where someone edits the file at which point dpkg will mess with you as it's a conffile12:47
yofelbut I'm just guessing here12:47
apacheloggerit all sounds very silly12:47
apacheloggershadeslayer: why does sddm need its own service config?12:47
shadeslayerd__ed: ^^12:47
yofelwell, something has to provide it?12:47
d__edyeah, and both lightdm and sddm implement the same service12:47
d__ed(by design)12:48
apacheloggermy point is... why do both need to install the same file12:48
sgclarkWho do I bug for wiki.kubuntu.org errors? I am trying to create my wiki and get <class 'openid.message.InvalidOpenIDNamespace'> errors when trying to login12:49
yofelsgclark: #canonical-sysadmin AFAIK12:49
sgclarkty12:49
shadeslayerapachelogger: because if they don't then who provides the file?12:52
shadeslayerapachelogger: you could have just sddm installed, and if we don't ship the file, then where does it come from?12:52
apacheloggergeee12:53
apacheloggerthat must be why every application ships their own libraries12:53
apacheloggerif the application didn't ship them they wouldn't be there12:53
apachelogger-.-12:53
yofeldoes that file really have to be named by that completely generic dbus interface name?12:53
apacheloggeryes12:54
yofelas like every systemd login manager will have to provide one and the same file :S12:54
yofelwhich is a mess12:54
apacheloggerrenaming it wouldn't change the problem anyway12:54
apacheloggerit would just hide it12:54
yofelwell, it would mean that lightdm could ship a .lightdm.conf and sddm a .sddm.conf12:54
apacheloggerthe file sets access rules for the displaymanager service12:54
yofelshitty, but work12:54
yofels12:54
apacheloggerwhich is implemented by two different pieces of software, much like plugins implementing a given plugin interface12:55
yofelwhy is it a displaymanager service and not a lightdm service?12:55
apacheloggerbut since sddm and lightdm need to have the same access rules it makes no sense that both install the same file12:55
apacheloggerthere should be a tarball xdg-display-manager or whatever that installs this and possibly other files that may be of use to both displaymanagers12:55
apacheloggerotherwise if I create my own displaymanager because I am a really cool dude I will have to copy that shit file again, and then when I fork my own displaymanager because really it should be redone in ruby I copy it again and again and again12:56
yofelagain, why does the service have to be called 'displaymanager'12:57
yofelwe have kdm, lightdm, gdm and whatever services now without systemd and all is fine12:58
apacheloggerthat has nothing to do with systemd12:59
apacheloggerthat's a dbus config12:59
apacheloggerthe new DMs register as org.fdo.DM on the system bus12:59
apacheloggerso that stuff can talk to them and query seat information and whatnot12:59
apacheloggerthat's why they need to have the same name12:59
apacheloggerthey implement the same dbus interface for querying seats and shit12:59
yofelthen the way you provide dbus interfaces is really shitty if only one thing providing a said interface can be installed on the system13:00
apacheloggerthat's what I am arguing13:01
apacheloggerthe file should be in a tarball that is a runtime dep of both things13:01
yofelguess that would work as a workaround13:02
apacheloggerthat's not a workaround13:02
apacheloggerthat is the solution13:02
apacheloggeryou have the same goo as someone else, you move the goo to a shared space and share it13:02
yofelthat is really shitty if - when I write a new application - I have to check through the whole world whether someone already wrote $interface13:03
apacheloggerI don't get that point13:04
yofelnvm, maybe I just don't understand how dbus was designed13:04
apacheloggeryofel: that's a file controlling access to an interface13:04
apacheloggerit technically doesn't have anything to do with the implementation of an interface13:05
shadeslayerapachelogger: what happens if lightdm introduces new interface but sddm doesn't implement it yet13:05
shadeslayerdo you update the file regardless of whether the app implements it13:05
yofelapachelogger: hm, I think I roughly get the point13:06
yofelso, does update-alternatives work fine with conffiles?13:06
yofelhm, should actually as it's all symlinks...13:07
apacheloggershadeslayer: yes?13:07
shadeslayerapachelogger: wouldn't that cause brekage?13:07
apacheloggerno?13:08
yofelwhy would the application that doesn't implement it care?13:08
shadeslayer*shrug* ok13:08
apacheloggeryou can add send_interface="yolo.kitten.mewmoewmoewmoewmoewmeowemoew" to that file and it wouldn't matter13:08
apacheloggerit's pretty much an ACL13:08
yofelapachelogger: TBH, I would rather then go with alternatives than a shared tarball as we won't know whether lightdm and sddm will be using the exact same ACL in the future13:09
yofelit would also be yet another pkg to keep in sync13:10
apacheloggerif they implement the same interface they must use the same ACL13:10
apacheloggerif they do not, then they do not implement the same interface13:10
yofelthen why is this file not part of the dbus package?13:10
apacheloggerthat's my argument waaaaaaah13:10
apacheloggerit should be in a joint package13:10
apacheloggernot both13:10
yofeloh, you meant *there* ^^13:11
apacheloggerunless org.freedesktop.DM is not an actually standard13:11
apacheloggerin which case neither should be using that interface name at all13:11
yofelwhy couldn't they both define a different policy for the same interface?13:11
apacheloggerthey can, except then the interface is pointless13:12
yofelI'm not talking about interface definition but e.g. user restrictions, as the current file does for AddSeat13:13
apacheloggerI write an application called foobar that talks to org.freedesktop.DisplayManager EXCEPT first I have to ask it whether I should talk with it using sddm interfaces or lightdm interfaces, so what's the point of talking to org.freedesktop.DisplayManager rahter than org.kitten.sddm... there is none13:13
apacheloggeryofel: that is part of the interface definition13:13
yofeluhm, ok...13:14
apacheloggerimagine if you will, phonon-gst and phonon-vlc both implement Media::Play(), except phonon-vlc actually will refuse to do anything unless I am in the system group 'kitten'13:14
apacheloggerit wouldn't be a rotten interface implementation if it did that, would it?13:14
yofelpossibly, I'll have to believe you for now13:15
* yofel has to get back to work13:15

kdeuser56yofel: is the neon iso suiteable for productive use?14:15
kdeuser56yofel: I guess you can have frameworks and kdelibs in parallel?14:15
yofelkdeuser56: please ask shadeslayer about the iso, I'm not too involved there.14:17
shadeslayerkdeuser56: define productive use14:18
kdeuser56shadeslayer: I can use all the "old" kdelibs stuff ...14:18
kdeuser56shadeslayer: upgrades work14:18
shadeslayersure, but you don't need the ISO for that14:18
shadeslayerupgrades won't work always14:18
kdeuser56shadeslayer: why is it not based on utopic?14:19
shadeslayerkdeuser56: too new14:19
shadeslayerit's useless to invest time in utopic at the moment for utopic14:19
shadeslayerplus don't think neon is boot strapped right now14:19
shadeslayererm14:19
shadeslayer*it's useless to invest time in utopic at the moment14:19
kdeuser56shadeslayer: what do you mean I do not need the iso?14:20
shadeslayerkdeuser56: if you're using regular kubuntu, you can just install PN5 and use that14:21
shadeslayerno need to specifically use the ISO for that14:21
shadeslayerthe ISO is mostly like a demo thing for people to try out14:21
shadeslayersure you can install it, but that's not the point of the ISO :)14:21
kdeuser56shadeslayer: but the ppa is not supported on uptoic either ... right?14:22
shadeslayerit is not14:22
shadeslayerkdeuser56: like I said, not worth the time/effort at the moment14:22
shadeslayermaybe after the first alpha or some such14:22
kdeuser56shadeslayer: but why shouldn't I install the iso?14:23
shadeslayerI never said that :)14:23
kdeuser56the base (14.04) is stable, and I can install all applications I need14:23
shadeslayerI just said that that's not the point of the ISO, you could just as well install kubuntu and then neon 5 ontop14:23
kdeuser56shadeslayer: so to conclude there should not be much trouble to run kde 4 and kde 5 stuff in parallel?14:24
shadeslayerwhat's kde 5?14:24
shadeslayer:P14:24
kdeuser56shadeslayer: its easier to write than frameworks 5 and kdelibs 414:25
shadeslayerKF5 / PW2 works too :)14:25
shadeslayeralso, easier doesn't necessarily mean correct, since stuff got rebranded and what not14:25
kdeuser56shadeslayer: yes/no to my question?14:26
shadeslayerkdeuser56: yep14:26
shadeslayerNeon 5 is meant to make sure things work parallely14:26
shadeslayeroh though kmail won't work IIRC14:26
shadeslayernor will akonadi14:26
shadeslayeror atleast, doesn't work on my machine14:26
yofelmaybe build it in sqlite mode if it has issues with mysql14:27
ScottKSad.  Kmail in 4.13 is finally working pretty well.14:27
BluesKajshadeslayer, that's no loss :)14:27
shadeslayerBluesKaj: it is to me14:27
shadeslayerreading ML's without kmail is a PITA14:28
BluesKajMLs14:28
BluesKaj?14:28
shadeslayerlike you're deliberately trying to give yourself a aneurysm14:28
shadeslayerBluesKaj: mailing lists14:28
ghostcubemailing lists with TB work pretty well14:28
kdeuser56shadeslayer: oh kmail/akonadi not working is a dealbreaker for me :-(14:29
shadeslayerkdeuser56: yeah, we can investigate that next week I guess14:30
kdeuser56shadeslayer: so it builds etc. but the binary does not work?14:30
shadeslayerkdeuser56: no, this is kmail from KDE SC 4.1314:30
shadeslayerthere is no frameworks branch for that14:31
kdeuser56yeah I know ... but why doesn't it work then?14:31
kdeuser56some missing library? 14:31
shadeslayerdunno14:34
shadeslayerfeel free to investigate14:34
kdeuser56okay ... I'll try to :D14:34
kdeuser56shadeslayer: ah btw: icontasks is not available on frameworks right?14:35
shadeslayernope14:35

shadeslayerjust hit rebuild14:54
sgclarkok14:54
shadeslayerpossibly launchpad just falling over14:54
shadeslayerif it doesn't work, then, run cmake on launchpad with --trace14:54
shadeslayeryou'll have to pass that in via packaging14:55
shadeslayersgclark: where's your packaging btw?14:55
shadeslayermaybe something you changed?14:55
sgclarkIt is 100% debian plus a merged changelog14:55
shadeslayeroh, is it all from debian? no changes required?14:56
sgclarkbuilds find in my new utopic chroot, died in my PPA14:56
sgclarkright14:56
shadeslayermight be useful to do a fakesync if it can handle 4.12 vs 4.1314:57
shadeslayerScottK: ^^ not sure what the procedure on that is14:57
ScottKNo.  You need to merge it by hand.14:57
yofelthat would be like pointless as you would still have an ubuntu1 version in the end14:58
