lordievaderGood morning.07:34
soeeRiddell: ok i can run the configuration module by using #kcmshell kcm_kscreen but it does not work as it should08:35
soeehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7818634/08:35
soeealso if i have secon monitor connected through hdmi, plasmashell crashes @start08:35
BluesKajHiyas all10:03
Riddellsoee: report a bug on that crash then10:29
BluesKajstuck in dependency hell cgmanager :/10:32
BluesKajon my desktop pc 10:33
BluesKajthat damn systemd is mucking up my system and I'm not even using it10:36
yofelBluesKaj: for now, you could edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/cgmanager.prerm and replace the "exit $?" with "exit 0"10:46
yofelthen try to upgrade again, which will again fail. After that do the same changes to cgmanager.postinst and run --configure10:47
yofelthat's how I get around the mess on my systemd test system...10:47
BluesKajyofel,  ok, thanks, will try that10:48
soeelates upgrades ask me to use lightdm or sddm10:52
soeesddm is supported already ?10:52
yofelsddm is in next, IIRC with a few rough edges but it should work10:53
soeebut also might break right ? :)10:54
soeeanyway will try ot10:55
soeesddm fails11:02
soeeback on lightdm11:02
* yofel install kubuntu-plasma5-desktop on his eeepc and is curious what'll happen11:08
yofel*installs11:08
* yofel notes that you can't log out anymore if you do that11:11
* BluesKaj thinks it's still too early for plasma5 on this laptop...don't think I'll attempt it on the desktop11:14
yofelhm, sddm is indeed rubbish :/11:14
yofelgreat... I have no session that I could log into @_@11:15
yofeloh duh, some updates are missing11:17
rick_timmisOh dear I'm stuck11:19
rick_timmisI'm practicing packaging, and debuild -S -sa complains not private GPG key available. I have check gpg --edit-keys and it says my Secret key is available. I'm getting confused can anyone help ?11:20
yofeldoes the person in the changelog match your gpg key information?11:21
rick_timmisAh I don't know, will check11:21
rick_timmisHmm it does in the /debian/changelog11:22
yofelcould you please pastebin the full debuild output?11:23
rick_timmisI am playing with Ed11:23
rick_timmisSure yofel, just runing it again11:23
rick_timmiskubotu: paste bin ?11:23

yofelrick_timmis: is that in a chroot?11:27
rick_timmisI don't believe so. I haven't run pbuilder yet.11:28
rick_timmisyofel: /home/rick/ubuntu-playground/ed-1.1011:28
rick_timmisel: 11:28
yofeland gpg --list-keys shows the key for Rick Timmis <Rick.Timmis@Abazander.com> ?11:29
rick_timmisyofel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7819155/11:30
yofel"Rick Timmis (Sick Rimmit)" != "Rick Timmis", that matters ^^11:31
yofelwhat you can do:11:31
rick_timmisAh ha OK11:31
yofelput DEBSIGN_KEYID=<id> in ~/.devscripts11:31
yofele.g. I have DEBSIGN_KEYID=2EC0A9FF in there11:32
yofelthat'll tell debsign to always use that key no matter what the changelog says11:32
rick_timmisOK I believe I understand you,11:32
rick_timmislets try it11:32
rick_timmisYay Success!! Woo Hoo11:40
rick_timmisyofel: Thank you, I would never have worked that out myself11:40
yofelthat's trick to figure out ^^11:41
yofel*tricky11:41
yofelI actually went and re-created my key when that happened to me a couple years ago :D11:41
rick_timmisWell that was going to be my next idea11:41
rick_timmisBut now I am wondering, perhaps I need to set my environment so that the changelog entry that gets created matches the gpgkey output ?11:42
yofelwell, changing your DEBFULLNAME to match it would be enough11:42
rick_timmisPerhaps DEBF11:43
rick_timmisI you got there before me11:43
rick_timmisOK. I'm going to try that, so it's consistent for other later too11:43
BluesKajyofel,  decided to reinstall the OS to / , your edits worked as far as upgrading was concerned, but I lost access to the desktop and couldn't get a VT/TTY to start the dm or X11:46
BluesKajmy system was already pretty messed up anyway 11:47
yofeldang, sounds like bug 134380211:48
ubottubug 1343802 in systemd-shim (Ubuntu) "Installation of cgmanager prevents booting with systemd" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/134380211:48
BluesKajyofel,  I wasn't booting with systemd tho11:49
yofelthe error output earlier looked like you did though... which is the confusing part :/11:50
BluesKajwell , I had tried systemd, but due to the probs with cgmanager and systemd-shim depends I re-edited grub and removed the systemd init string at quiet spalsh, and updated grub 11:53
rick_timmisyofel: Bingo!! That's sorted. Thank you again.11:55
BluesKajbbl12:04
Riddellsgclark: putting into proposed13:05
sgclarkRiddell: thanks!13:06
Riddellsgclark: builds fine locally, uploaded!13:19
sgclarkRiddell: thanks :)13:19
sgclarkRiddell: hmm this could pose interesting problems, it needs baloo-dev 4.13.9013:43
BluesKajdist13:49
BluesKajoops wrong KB13:49
Riddellsgclark: is that ready to upload?13:50
Riddelloh it needs pimlibs13:52
Riddellthis could go on13:52
Riddelland kfilemetadata13:52
Riddell-- The following REQUIRED packages have not been found:13:56
Riddell* Akonadi (required version >= 1.12.90) , Akonadi server libraries , <http://pim.kde.org/akonadi>13:56
Riddelland kdepimlibs needs that new akonadi13:56
Riddellkfilemetadata up13:57
sgclarkRiddell: hmm that new akonadi is up..13:58
Riddellbut only in the PPA no?13:58
sgclarkin ninjas that is13:58
sgclarkright13:59
sgclarkbut packaged :)13:59
Riddellso akonadi -> kdepimlibs -> baloo -> nepomuk-core13:59
Riddellwhat a lot of pain for an obsolete technology13:59
sgclarklol I know :(13:59
sgclarkbut a bulk of the remaining packages need it :(13:59
sgclarkkdepimlibs will also need libgapi and libkolab that I packaged in ninjas14:00
sgclarkRiddell: ^14:00
* sgclark has been busy14:00
Riddelljings you have14:01
Riddellis there a new libkolabxml too? they usually go together14:01
sgclarkoh, did not check, didnt cry for it14:02
Riddellseems it's only kdepim-runtime that needs those libs, kdepimlibs fine without14:03
sgclarkahh ok 14:03
Riddellno new libkolabxml14:04
sgclarkfigured, it usually wont build without14:05
Riddellakonadi up14:11
Riddellrick_timmis: going to become an elite kubuntu ninja?14:12
rick_timmisRiddell: I am working on it, trying to get Ubuntu packaging in my toolkit14:13
Riddellsgclark: all uploaded, hope that neopmuk-core will build now14:42
sgclarkRiddell: getting fails :( akonadi depends on akondai-server.. but will not be installed, which is odd as they are in same package..14:43
sgclarkRiddell: seems to be arm14:43
sgclarkRiddell: seems to be arm*14:43
ScottKArch all versus arch any?14:44
sgclarkRiddell: and baloo powerpc same failure14:44
ScottKsgclark: Usually failures like that are because the -dev package is arch all (and built with i386) and the lib is arch all and wasn't available yet for that arch.14:57
ScottKI retry will solve that, but no point until kdepimlibs-dev is available so it won't just depwait.14:58
ScottKs/I/A//14:58
kubotuScottK meant: "A retry will solve that, but no point until kdepimlibs-dev is available so it won't just depwait."14:58
sgclarkScottK: libakonadi-dev is any14:59
ScottKOK, something else in the stack probably then.14:59
ScottKIn any case, for things like that which are only one arch, a retry once things are a little more built almost always works.15:00
sgclarkScottK: ok thanks. Riddell: will need to retry when kdepimlibs is ready, I do not have the powers there :)15:00
ScottKBottom line, it's something to keep track of, but not really worry about15:02
ScottKAnyone who can upload can retry.15:02
sgclarkScottK: I do not believe I can upload to proposed15:03
ScottKNo.  You need to be an Ubuntu developer of the right kind (e.g. kubuntu-dev)15:03
ScottKYou'll get there though.15:03
sgclark:)15:03
sgclarkRiddell: sorry I have run out of time for today :( I will continue my efforts tomorrow.15:14
* rick_timmis mind boggles with oodles of interlinked documentation 17:28
rick_timmisSo I packaged ed-1.10, and got a resulting .deb17:29
rick_timmisI went on to have a crack at wget-1.15, but debuild is failing with a missing make file17:30
rick_timmisI'm confused, as I understand it pbuilder will do the build of the package, so I don't need to do configure && make17:31
rick_timmisat this point I vanished into the abyss of Debian documentation, and now my brain hurts17:31
yofelrick_timmis: buildlog please?17:32
yofelmaybe I can spot what's wrong17:32
rick_timmis!paste17:32

yofelthat is... fun17:34
yofelrick_timmis: the archive wget package has some manual cleanup handling and I guess you're missing that autotools command there17:37
rick_timmisyofel: Right, so I didn't understand any of what you said there, which suggest I am biting off more than I can chew at this point17:38
yofelnot really, it's just that wget seems to need some manual intervention in the build process as debhelper can't figure this out by itself17:39
rick_timmisyofel: Ah OK I see17:39
rick_timmisyofel: Perhaps I should stop at this point with wget. What I am really trying to achieve, is just some practice a building a package, so I increase my confidence with the tools17:40
rick_timmisI am trying to get to a point where I can Bug Fix, and repackage, working from Kubuntu-Bugs on lp~ 17:41
yofelfor that it does help to look at various packages as there's several ways how a rules file can be written. For us you'll probably want to get familiar with kde packages and dh7 style rules first17:42
rick_timmisHmmm OK, well I had fancied having a crack at packaging Rekonq, but perhaps you could suggest something I coudl have a practice with ?17:43
rick_timmisi.e perhaps your aware of something that builds in a pretty straight forward manner ?17:43
yofelwell, rekonq is pretty straight forward.. and is one of the simpler cmake packages that don't use dhmk17:44
yofel(dhmk is the build system for the kde sc from pkg-kde-tools)17:44
rick_timmisOK, any pointers on docs to look at ?17:45
rick_timmis!dhmk17:45
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about dhmk17:45
rick_timmis!pkg-kde-tools17:45
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about pkg-kde-tools17:45
yofelnot really for beginners, but you can install pkg-kde-tools and look at /usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/qt-kde-team/2/README17:46
rick_timmisyofel: Hey OK, and thanks again for your help17:47
yofelyou can see in our kde packages how it's used, kde-workspace being one that's not completely simple17:47
=== alket_ is now known as alket
ScottKRiddell: Rejecting baloo out of binary New.  libbalooqueryparser4 is empty.19:38
Riddellmeh19:39
Riddellhmm19:39
Riddellmissing .install file probably19:39
Riddellyep, uploaded again19:41
BluesKajsystemd-shim and cgmanager still have broken dependencies ?19:42
Riddellsorry not our area19:43
BluesKajyeah, realized that right after typing the question:)19:43
yofelScottK: any chance you can look at ksnakeduel in proposed?20:08
ScottKyofel: Should go now.20:18
yofelthanks a lot!20:19
ScottKRiddell: baloo accepted.20:20
rick_timmisMe again20:32
rick_timmisSo I'm looking at Kubuntu-Bugs.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdegames/+bug/88055520:33
ubottuUbuntu bug 880555 in kdegames (Ubuntu) "KPatience (kpat) Menu Bar Missing" [Undecided,New]20:33
rick_timmisThis report is status New, and yet was filed in 2011,  which makes me ask am I missing something, or are we short on Bug triage workers ?20:34
yofelthe latter20:34
rick_timmisAh OK, So could I be useful, by having a crack at triaging some of this stuff ?20:35
rick_timmisstupid question, and irrelevant. Of course I could20:37
yofelhehe, anything will help there :)20:37
yofelsee https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/Policies#Bug_Triage too20:37
rick_timmisAh I'm getting confused again, as whilst it appears to be assigned into the Kubuntu-bugs team, it's actually a Xubuntu desktop problem when running a KDE application.20:43
rick_timmisNot that I mind helping with Ubuntu stuff, but I really want to to target my effort to Kubuntu community20:44
rick_timmisI just find all of this so confusing, and I've been chipping away at this of and on for 2 years, and I just continually got lost, confused, and disorientated. 20:45
ScottKrick_timmis: Any KDE application should work regardless of the desktop environment being run.20:51
ScottKThat said, Unity uses a bunch of stuff that's different the everyone else, so Unity related bugs aren't always very fixable.20:53
ScottKThat particular one might be related to the menu stuff they do.20:54
rick_timmisOK, well looking at the Bug_Triage policy, I wonder whether it should be assigned to Xubuntu team, rather than Kubuntu. However, I'm running up a VM now to see if the bug still exists..20:56
rick_timmisAfter spending the whole day reading docs, and breaking everything, I just want to do something, that makes me feel as though I have achieved something20:57
rick_timmishttps://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+bug/115772321:04
ubottuUbuntu bug 1157723 in Debian "[needs-packaging] kfilebox" [Unknown,New]21:04
rick_timmisLooking at Bug_Triage policy, it looks to me as though this bug should now be closed. It's fixed in release for Kubuntu, but remains open new for Debian.21:05
rick_timmisTriage policy suggests that one our work is done tracking should be in the upstream, and my thoughts are that an advisory post to Debian team and closure by Kubuntu_Bugs team is the corect course of action21:06
rick_timmisSound correct ?21:06
rick_timmiss/one/once/21:06
kuboturick_timmis: You did something wrong... Try s/you/me/ or tell me "help sed"21:06
ScottKrick_timmis: If it's a bug in Debian (which that is) you can't change it in launchpad anyway.  It's an import from the Debian BTS.  The Ubuntu task is already marked fix released.21:11
rick_timmisScottK: OK, well I'll keep on rollin, thanks 21:23

rick_timmisWe have this packaged and released, but Redshift still has it as New. 21:45

valorieI installed it, and now I'm supposed to restart21:47
valorie!21:47
valorieanyway, close the bug with a ref to the package21:48
rick_timmisAh yes, you could probably get away with just restarting the Xserver if you wanted to21:48
rick_timmisThe redshift daemon requires an X extension, so that will need an X restart21:48
