lordievaderGood morning.07:01
RiddellOxygen font bling http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/daily-live/20140821/08:41
Riddellis it more pretty than http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20140822/ ?08:41
valoriehmmm, I like different elements of both08:56
valoriethe second one's blue header is better08:56
valoriethe other is too crowded08:56
valoriehowever, the first one has a better body font08:56
seaLneyesterday i ran into a problem with updating a machine that only had 6Gb / it wasn't enough to download and upgrade to the new kde version (non ppa). this is a bit significant as the installer suggests that 6Gb is the minimum required09:30
seaLneso i wonder if the installer should suggest more09:31
seaLnethis was on trusty09:31
shadeslayerseaLne: 6 GB is fine for installation09:38
shadeslayerBut if you do large KDE updates, then its not09:38
shadeslayerEspecially from PPA's09:38
apacheloggeruh, sure it is09:43
apacheloggerthe deb data of an entire install is only a bit more than 1 gig09:44
apacheloggerinstalled it's no more than 3, so you can do a full upgrade just fine09:44
apacheloggerof course if you install additional packages both numbers go up and you'll run out of space09:45
seaLnewell it failed for me yesterday09:47
seaLnewas just a base install of kubuntu09:48
apacheloggerseaLne: of 14.04?09:51
apacheloggerRiddell: ^ actually with increased iso size we should possibly look into bumping the recommended partition size to at least 8 gig09:52
seaLneyeah 14.0409:53
seaLnei admit the amount of people having such a small / is probably not great but this was the result of a guided install to an 8Gb SD card09:54
apacheloggerseaLne: it still shouldn't have run out of space09:56
apacheloggeroh09:56
apacheloggerOTOH09:56
apacheloggerseaLne: was that a new install or was it already updated some times before?09:56
apacheloggerif there were previous updates it could entirely be that your old apt cache packages simply consumed too much space09:57
seaLnenew install10:09
seaLneso i guess there might actually have been the difference between 14.04.1 and a couple of days ago10:10
seaLnebut that still sounds a not particuarly unusual situation10:11
apacheloggereven so it should fit10:12
apacheloggerlet's make a card to investigate10:12
shadeslayerapachelogger: are you sure about that10:58
apacheloggershadeslayer: about who?10:59
shadeslayerthat upgrades will work on 6 GB / with PPA's10:59
shadeslayerI am unsure10:59
shadeslayerespecially if it's 4.1411:00
apacheloggerwhat would ppas matter11:00
shadeslayercache size ? though ok cache shouldn't be more than 1 GB for 4.1411:00
apacheloggerit shouldn't be more than 1gib in general11:00
shadeslayerright11:00
shadeslayerhm11:01
apacheloggeras the iso is 1gib, and most of the heavy packages are xz compressed, so they should have more or less the same size so the effective cache size would only be marginally bigger than 1gib11:01
apacheloggeranywho, I made a 14.10 card for it11:01
apacheloggerwhy kubotu didn't notice that is a bug to behold as well though11:01
apacheloggerhm11:03
apacheloggertrello : since: 2014-08-20 14:57:32 UTC -> before: 2014-08-20 14:58:22 UTC || boards: 1211:03
apacheloggerit appears to me that somehow the polling thread got stuck11:03
apacheloggermost interesting11:03
apacheloggerkubotu: ping11:05
kubotupong11:05
=== tester56 is now known as kdeuser56
CodePulsarWhy does the link to Shop (upper right corner) from the http://www.kubuntu.org point to http://www.kubuntu.org/news/ladies-polo-shirts-now-kubuntu-merchandise-shop instead of https://holvi.com/shop/Kubuntu/ ?11:23
Riddellwe should get rid of that anyway they're all gone11:31
Riddellit also makes me wonder if we want to buy some more for wearing at akademy11:32
Riddelllink removed11:32
Riddellshadeslayer, valorie, Riddell, yofel, apachelogger, sgclark: would you like a nice kubuntu shirt for akademy?11:33
apacheloggeryes, give me all the shirts11:33
yofelsure :D11:34
sgclarkyes please11:34
apacheloggershadeslayer: oh btw, kubuntu day is on thursday right?11:34
Riddellapachelogger: yep11:35
Riddellsomething swanky like this? http://www.superlogo.co.uk/acatalog/Fitted-Long-Sleeved-Shirt-KK121.html#SID=305111:35
apacheloggerI'd be in favor11:36
apacheloggeralternatively we could get kubuntu bowties :O11:36
CodePulsarJust donated a few GBP's so that you guys can get the shirts ;)11:36
sgclarkthat is nice11:36
sgclarkbowties!11:37
RiddellCodePulsar: yay, thanks :)11:37
RiddellCodePulsar: of course it'll also help us to get there which is possibly just as important :)11:37
Riddellsgclark, valorie: what style for the ladies? http://www.superlogo.co.uk/acatalog/Ladies-Corporate-Shirts.html11:38
Riddellshadeslayer, valorie, Riddell, yofel, apachelogger, sgclark: please add your shirt size to https://notes.kde.org/p/kubuntu-akademy11:38
sgclarkwell it seems US sizes are way different than others, so I really don't know haha11:38
sgclarkI like the H551 personally11:40
apacheloggerI never know my size qq11:40
Riddellsgclark: the number is the colar size in inches I think 11:41
RiddellSize - XS 8 - Small 10 - Medium 12 - Large 14 - XL 16 - XXL 18 - 3XL 2011:41
RiddellseaLne: I guess if you set it to the minimum size then it will inevitably run out of disk space sooner, I'm not sure what a better thing to do would be11:43
apacheloggerRiddell: it shouldn't run out of disk space in an 'install old release -> upgrade to latest things' scenario though11:44
yofelI have a trusty image lying around, let me try this in virtualbox11:44
apachelogger(old release == a release which has seen so many updates that the entire base system would be turned around once)11:45
apacheloggeryofel: https://trello.com/c/AOVkhM7n/75-check-upgradabability-of-default-partition-size11:45
kubotu[14.10 :: To Do :: check upgradabability of default partition size ++ ]11:45
seaLneRiddell: are you bringing a kubuntu banner as the blue systems banner?11:47
seaLneto akademy11:47
Riddellhmm, good question11:48
RiddellI wonder if I have one here11:48
RiddellseaLne: no don't seem to have one here, I wonder if my parents could fish it out my flat and post it over11:51
RiddellseaLne: I think it's safe to say that blue systems won't have one so the space is open for kubuntu?11:51
Riddellstarbuck1: ↑ ?11:52
Riddellooh ktuberling gained some last minute breakage in 4.14!11:56
Riddelldantti: any plans to port print-manager to KF5? it's an obvious lacking feature from Plasma 512:04
BluesKajHi folks12:08
danttiRiddell: I don't have kf5 packages in my distro yet :P12:17
danttiI'll be back in 20 mins12:18
yofela default install with the restricted stuff taked 3.8G, that *should* leave enough space to install some updates (can get tight with the apt cache and if packages are never autoremoved though)12:39
yofels/taked/takes/12:39
kubotuyofel meant: "a default install with the restricted stuff takes 3.8G, that *should* leave enough space to install some updates (can get tight with the apt cache and if packages are never autoremoved though)"12:39
BluesKajso what's the story with no ubiquity in this image http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-plasma5/daily-live/current/ ?12:45
BluesKajas live-media it works fine, but there's no install option12:46
shadeslayerBluesKaj: lies13:02
shadeslayerBluesKaj: ubiquity2.19.213:02
BluesKajshadeslayer, ok , how do I find it because the disk boots directly to the desktop13:03
shadeslayerjust search for Install via krunner13:04
shadeslayerI will fix that next week13:04
shadeslayerin prep for beta13:04
shadeslayerI am unsure why ubiquity-dm doesn't start tbh13:04
shadeslayerit should13:04
shadeslayeranyway, needs investigation on Monday13:04
Riddellshadeslayer: airm.local and gallus.local13:22
Riddellavahi-browse -a13:23
Riddelld_ed: ↑13:23
Riddellmeh, why doesn't avahi work in ubuntu any more?13:28
RiddellI wonder if it's something to do with resolvconf13:33
apacheloggertomorrow is the big day14:12
Riddellwhat will happen?  Who knows!14:13
apacheloggerso excited14:15
Riddellmalcolm tucket will walk in swearing into his phone then hurl some abuse at the daleks14:17
Riddellapachelogger: do you need a UK server to proxy through to watch it live?14:18
shadeslayerpfsht14:18

Riddellhow does it work?14:19
shadeslayerpublic VPN14:21
Riddellmm hmm14:21
shadeslayerand magic14:22
Riddellbut do they have lots of expensive servers to use? is there some complex peer to peer setup?14:22
Riddellaah, magic, that explais it14:22
shadeslayerI have no clue14:22
apacheloggerservas, supposedly there is a high speed subscription plan14:22
apacheloggeri.e. I know aussies do like to sub to vpn services to get lower latency to US/EU rubbish14:23
shadeslayer"Never be a peer"14:23
shadeslayerI guess P2P14:23
yofellooks P2P unless you pay from the FAQ14:24
apacheloggerreasonable enough14:24
apacheloggershadeslayer: u guys not heading to cinema in barcelona?14:24
shadeslayerno14:24
shadeslayerI invited some friends over14:24
shadeslayerthey had to work till 10, so we shall see it at 1114:24
Riddellshadeslayer: not coming into the office?14:25
shadeslayernope14:25
shadeslayerprefer it on a TV instead of the projector14:25
Riddellpicture snob14:25
RiddellI prefer to be a picture glutton14:25
shadeslayeryeah, I'm a bit of a snob with my media consumption14:26
=== Riddell changed the topic of #kubuntu-devel to: Kubuntu - ¡Who knows! | https://trello.com/kubuntu
soeemm plasma 5 broken i many places after yesterday updates16:23
shadeslayerwould be nice to know what's broken16:33
QuintasanRiddell: ping18:37
Quintasan!council18:39
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about council18:39
Quintasaneh18:39
Quintasanyofel, shadeslayer, ScottK: ping18:40
yofelhm?18:40
Quintasanyofel: I accidentaly the screen in Archos tablet and I want to know if I should try reparing the screen or replace the device.18:40
QuintasanNo idea what happend, I put it into my backpack when traveling and when I got back it was broken.18:41
Quintasanhappened*18:41
yofelI feel with you, those things break far too easily :S18:41
QuintasanThe plastic case doesn't really help the durability but well, I did somehow break it.18:42
yofelQuintasan: what costs are we talking about actually?18:42
Quintasan360 PLN (~85 EUR) for used one, which has working display and some "traces of usage at the back"18:44
Quintasan1300 PLN (~310 EUR) for brand new one18:45
QuintasanThough let me look at other shops18:45
QuintasanActually I have a problem finding it now18:46
Quintasanchrist, most shops no longer have it18:47
Quintasanyofel: So yeah, I think getting a brand new is nearly impossible and the one at allegro (Polish eBay-like site) looks overpriced18:49
soeeQuintasan: what are you lookg for @allegro ?18:50
Quintasansoee: Archos G9 10118:51
QuintasanI accidentaly broke the screen in that one and I want to know what to do.18:51
yofelhonestly, I'm so out of the loop with tablets that I have no idea if it makes sense to repair/replace it or if working out getting something more recent makes more sense18:51
soeeuhm im not using any, no need good smartphone + laptop is enough :)18:52
Quintasansoee: I broke a device from Council so I'm not entirely sure what to do.18:53
soeeoh, nor do i18:53
debfxhas anyone tried systemd on utopic?18:56
yofelworks fine, upgrades are rather buggy though18:57
yofel*updates18:57
yofeldebfx: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=systemd-boot18:58
Quintasanyofel: They finally uncrippled the package?18:58
yofelQuintasan: pretty much immediately after the ctte decision18:58
QuintasanSplendid18:58
* Quintasan installs utopic18:58
yofelbut we're missing init compatibility so stuff doesn't quite work in all cases18:58
yofelalthough a lot has been fixed already18:59
debfxwhat kind of updates are buggy?18:59
yofelanything that has unported services. Like a while ago anything lxc would crash on postinst as restarting the services would always fail. But that was about a month ago so not sure how much is still broken19:01
debfxok thanks, I'll give it a try after converting my custom upstart jobs19:07
Quintasanyofel: I forgot to ask a simple thing about the plasma5 iso19:14
QuintasanDo we actually care about the bug reports?19:14
Quintasanfor Plasma ofc19:15
yofelthose go upstream anyway, don't they?19:15
QuintasanYeah but generally this is a snapshot19:15
QuintasanSo those things might get redundant very fast19:16
yofelnot.. really? we ship kf5 5.1.0 and plasma 5.0.1 from what I see19:16
Quintasanhmm19:16
* Quintasan installs the plasma519:16
yofelneon are snapshots19:16
debfxworks fine after dropping some noauto options in fstab19:45
BluesKajplasma5 daily install wentr fine but now we have dependency hell with powerdevil depends blocking all other package upgrades and installs... is this a known bug?20:56
BluesKajhere  http://pastebin.com/wH67X1WT21:00
yofelBluesKaj: sudo dpkg -r libpowerdevilcore1 21:08
yofelshould fix it, and yes, that's a bug21:08
BluesKajyofel, thanks, that fixed it :)21:14
valorieQuintasan: as a council member, this is my advice: look around for awhile at your options22:00
valoriewhat would you like to have, to develop for/on?22:01
valorierepairing a device that is no longer being sold seems silly to m22:01
valoriee22:01
valorieit's broken, so let's move on22:01
QuintasanAt this point in time I really wonder if there is any merit in trying to get Kubuntu onto tablet22:02
QuintasanI was able to get it up and running but touch didn't work22:02
QuintasanVivalid/Spark's dead ATM22:03
QuintasanVivaldi*22:03
QuintasanIt would be really nice to have a Plasma-powered tablet device but you need a proper development platform and some backing from the hw manufacturer.22:05
QuintasanTegra was really nice if not the damned driver support.22:05
valorieperhaps it's possible soon to get an Ubuntu tablet and start there?22:06
valorieI've not consulted with the rest of the Council so this is just my own opinion22:06
QuintasanI think I'll add this to the Akademy list22:07
valoriecool22:07
QuintasanUnfortunately I'm not going but it's a nice opportunity to discuss it22:07
valorieyes, but why u no come see us?22:07
valorie:(22:07
QuintasanUniversity unfortunately22:08
valoriewell, damn them22:08
valorienext year, I hope22:08
QuintasanI didn't mange to pass some courses during last two semesters and I want to get my degree on time if possible so I'm taking make-up courses next starting nex month22:08
Quintasannext*22:08
QuintasanI can't type lol22:09
valoriethat sounds fun22:09
valorienot22:09
valorieyour most hated courses, AGAIN22:09
valoriebut at least you are already familiar22:09
valorieso that's a plus22:09
valoriewhat degree are you getting, Quintasan?22:09
QuintasanIt's not like I hate them, it's just that I either didn't pay enough attention or the lecturer was strage22:09
QuintasanThe latter is the case in the Basics of software engineering which is a UML course :/22:10
Quintasanstrange*22:10
valoriemy exaggeration, of course22:10
Quintasanvalorie: well, Computer Science22:10
valoriecool22:10
QuintasanNot much else I can do22:10
valorieyes, I speak typo22:10
valorie:-)22:10
QuintasanSave for English philology22:11
QuintasanBut I'd rather get some IT related degree22:11
popeyvalorie: might be tricky getting it working on an Ubuntu tablet as Ubuntu ships on tablets with Mir, not X22:11
valoriepopey: so true22:11
valoriebut I see nowhere else to start, do you?22:11
popeywhats the goal? a plasma tablet?22:12
yofelMir still requires EGL drivers doesn't it?22:12
QuintasanIf the drivers work on Mir then I see no problems with them working with Wayland or X for that matter22:12
valorieyes, if we still think that is valuable22:12
valoriepeople do keep asking22:12
popeyyofel: uses the android drivers22:12
QuintasanUnless something really changed in the architecture of Mir22:12
yofelhm22:12
valoriethis is why it's a good topic for us to discuss22:13
valoriedead-end roads aren't much fun except for a day hike22:13
valorieof course there are meta-fears here about Mir and Kubuntu as a whole22:14
valorieso perhaps a smaller experiement might be valuable22:14
valorieexperiment22:14
valoriebtw Quintasan I love philology, and have been doing some study in that and linguistics for the past few years22:24
Quintasanvalorie: Well, I like languages in general but I think that philology by itself will not land you any decent moneys unless you can be a sworn interpreter or however you call the guys who act as interpreters in court22:37
QuintasanHere you have to do additional studies and courses if I'm not mistaken22:37
valorieyes, any of the liberal arts seem to be devalued these days22:38
valoriemy major was anthropology so I feel your pain22:39
sgclarkHi valorie! did you get my train schedule?22:40
QuintasanWell, after I land a steady job or something then I'll probably do philosophy or something as external studies.22:41
valorieoh, I'd better look at my email22:42
valoriesounds good, Quintasan22:43
valoriesgclark: I was cleaning up after a spam incident (I spammed thousands because of a crappy webform)22:43
sgclarkvalorie: yeah, I got a few lol, I thought it looked suspect so I disregarded22:44
valorie:(22:45
valoriedisregard is the best action, for sure22:46
valoriethis looks great, sgclark22:47
valoriebest idea is to get cash with your credit card at the train station22:47
valoriefor Vienna22:47
sgclarkvalorie: wonderful, tried to go as close to your schedule as I could22:47
valoriefor Brno, hopefully there will be a good machine at the main train stop22:48
sgclarkvalorie: ok so if I bring credit card I should be ok?22:48
valorieand for you, I wish you good weather for the train ride22:48
valorieyes, be sure to call your bank and warn them you'll be abroad22:48
sgclarkvalorie: ok will do22:48
valorieor they might block your card after the first transaction22:49
sgclarkgood point... I have had that happen lol22:49
valorieI got a chip and pin travel card so even if yours doesn't work in brno, mine will22:49
sgclarkI can always pay you back should something go terribly wrong22:49
valorieeven still, I'll tell my local bank just in case I have to use that card22:50
valorieexactly22:50
valoriethe Czech Rep. seems very inexpensive22:50
valorieI think we'll be fine22:50
sgclarkso I bought some adapters and stuff for laptop and phone, anything else you think I will need?22:50
valoriedo you think your phone will work in europe?22:51
valoriemy regular phone will not22:51
sgclarkI have no clue haha22:51
valorieso I have a little cheapie I bought in Estonia22:51
valoriecall your provider - tmobile is good22:51
valoriethe rest, not so much22:51
sgclarksprint : /22:51
* valorie has verizon, which sucks22:51
valorieI dunno about sprint22:51
valoriedoesn't hurt to ask22:51
sgclarkyeah, even in VA my reception was less than a bar on a good day22:52
valorieI always bring my phone anyway, for contacts and alarm22:52
sgclarkme thinks it will not work, can do wifi tho when avail22:52
valorieplus it sort of works on wifi22:52
valorieanyway, we should have one phone which is really all we need22:53
sgclarkok cool22:53
valorieI just need to plump up the mins on the euro-card I have22:53
valorieeuro-sim, I should say22:53
sgclarkI can chip in, just tally it to my bill :)22:53
sgclarkvery excited!22:54
valorieme too!22:55
valoriealmost caught up from the trip to and from Randa22:55
valorielol22:55
valorieyour room here is still cluttered with junk, but I promise to clear it out before you arrive22:56
sgclarklol no worries22:56
sgclarkclear me a corner to sleep and I am good!22:57
sgclarktho I need to fix my schedule so I don't sleep through akademy22:57
valorieI've got a nice couch, but a bed is better22:57
valoriewell, my usual way is staying up all night before leaving22:57
valoriesleeping on the plane22:58
valorieand hit the ground running22:58
sgclarksounds good to me22:58
valorieworked for Geneva and Randa22:58

sgclarksounds like a plan, so replace the bed with a pot of coffee!22:59
valorielol23:00
