apacheloggercan you even list multiple people?07:57
valorieI've never seen that07:58

apacheloggerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of2HU3LGdbo08:01
valoriethat reminds me of the one that Colbert used to introduce the off-year elections bit08:02
apacheloggerOo08:04
apacheloggerI can see how the cat chasing a duck while riding a roomba relates to elections *nod*08:05
valoriethat was the point08:06
valorieso boring to talk about elections when you can watch cat on roomba in a costume etc08:07
valorieI was going to find the bit but it looks like they only have whole shows now08:07

apacheloggerRiddell: I am trying to get you patches against 5.3.0 though08:41
Riddellvale vale, I'll put it on my todo08:41
apacheloggerRiddell: .2 really would be easier ... http://people.ubuntu.com/~apachelogger/tmp/qtbase/ these apply against .008:59
apacheloggerno clue if it builds, the 0004 is a complete theirs strategy merge so it might access a function that isn't there ^^09:00
Riddellooh thanks09:00
shadeslayerapachelogger: re qt patch, for 14.10?09:00
apacheloggeryeah09:01
shadeslayerMight want to talk to the canonical folks ?09:01
apacheloggerI did include Mirv in the ping :P09:01
shadeslayerXD09:02
shadeslayerOk09:02
shadeslayerGood enough ;)09:02
Mirvapachelogger: shadeslayer: feel free to upload to utopic09:04
shadeslayerHurrah09:04
MirvI have one fix upcoming for bug #1357321 but probably not for utopic. and 5.3.2 tentatively beginning of November to v-series.09:05
Riddellshadeslayer: have you seen the changes maxy did to the sddm init file?09:05

Riddellit's about 1/10th of the size now, I'm quite suspicious of it09:06
shadeslayerRiddell: init file ? Nope09:06
Mirvapachelogger: shadeslayer: just note that the main packaging branch is already about 5.3.2, 5.3.0 is at https://code.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/qtbase-opensource-src_53009:06
apacheloggerMirv: for utopic?09:07

Mirvapachelogger: no, not 5.3.2 for utopic09:07
Mirvor depending what was asked :)09:07
Mirvthat _530 packaging branch is what's currently in utopic09:07
apacheloggeryah, we should land it in utopic  primarily 09:08
apacheloggerI guess for +1 we'll hopefully end up with 5.4 anyway :S09:08
Mirvhopefully yes, but at first it's useful to get same bugfix release as Debian has to it09:08
shadeslayerRiddell: mmmm ... Well, mostly we will be using the upstart file anyway09:08
shadeslayerSo it should be fine I guess09:09
Mirv5.3.2 test packages are btw at https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-015 if ever interested (they are currently build for utopic, but I'll start source copy building them for v-series when it's open)09:09
MirvI'll have frameworkintegration and plasma-framework rebuilds there too09:09
Riddell5.3 is old school, all the plasma kids are talking about is 5.4 these days09:10
apacheloggeroh on that note09:12
apacheloggerMirv: did we by any chance grow a patch regarding mouse/wheel input within the last month or so?09:12
apacheloggerwheel input on qt controls sliders is broken as of late for me and I am not sure whether something broke in kde frameworks or qt09:13
Mirvapachelogger: no, qtbase has been relatively same since June: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtbase-opensource-src/+changelog . qtdeclarative has seen a lot of patches.09:14
apacheloggermhh, need to do some investigating then09:15
apacheloggerbrrr09:15
Riddellapachelogger, shadeslayer: sddm put into git, you may want to ci it09:36
apacheloggerbrrr09:37
Riddelldoes that make you shiver?09:37
apacheloggeryes, it's sddm :S09:37
Riddellyou should move to barcelona, toasty hot here09:38
apacheloggerRiddell: btw, what's with muon now? did you twiddle the includes around09:38
Riddellapachelogger: yes I did, still needs packaging newer qt5 versions of qca, qoauth09:38
Riddelland it installs qml and plugins to the wrong paths which needs looked at09:39
Riddelland then it still doesn't install stuff09:39
apacheloggerRiddell: have you made sure to use the /3/ include of pkg-kde?09:39
apacheloggerusing /2/ would explain the incorrect path09:40
RiddellI just build it by hand expecting ecm to pick up the right paths09:40
apacheloggeror did you do a manual build without packaging?09:40
apacheloggerah, then it is peculiar09:40
apacheloggerRiddell: did the manchicken reply on what to do with qapt?09:41
Riddellapachelogger: only to say he's busy09:42
* apachelogger throws hands up in the air09:42
Riddellwe have qapt for qt5 in the archive09:42
apacheloggergoing to merge frameworks branch into amster then :P09:42
Riddellwhich is weird because we have the qt4 .deb package still too09:42
Riddellnot sure why that doesn't show up in NBS09:42
apacheloggerI doubt we'll see another release of the qt4 thing anyway09:42
apacheloggerRiddell: qt5 is in next09:42
apacheloggerit weirdly shares the runtime with qt4 though, because muon was blocking a full migration09:43
apacheloggerso that can be changed once we land muon in next09:43
Riddellah yes so it is09:44
Riddellqoauth needs patches to compile, it can't find qca09:45
Riddellapol tried to make a patch (in qca) but it didn't seem to do much09:45
Riddellalso the soversion is the same between qt4 and 5 which feels wrong09:45
apacheloggeryes, that is indeed wrong ^^09:49
apacheloggerRiddell: of qca?09:49
Riddellapachelogger: qca and qoauth I think09:55
apacheloggerRiddell: qca I think had an entire argument in some reviewrequest09:56
* apachelogger was rather under the impression that it got resolved 09:56
apacheloggerRiddell: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/119939/09:58

sgclarkRiddell: well several of of bugs  for my desktop-mime bit they are applying without problems, but one came back asking "how serious is this" because they do not know if it is beneficial or harmful10:59
Riddellsgclark: have you tested them out? use dolphin to open a file of the relevant type, does it open in the application?11:10
Mamarokseriously, guys, this keyboard issue is annoying, where should I report this to? Reminder of the problem: I can't add a German(Germany) layout despite having everything installed (language, keyboard packs), I currently have Swiss German, Swiss French and US, everytime I try to add the German one the only option availabel is German, Swiss11:15

Riddelljohn layt is likely to know where it comes from11:20
Riddelland it may well be a bug in kde or ubuntu11:20
Mamarokit is a regression, sa I was able to have the German layout in Trusty,  so maybe something was modified in Utopic causing that11:20

Mamaroktoo many glitches, too many products not ported to kf511:45
Mamarokand the compatibility sucks11:45
RiddellMamarok: ah sorry I was assuming 5 for some reason, so it probably is a regression in something in ubuntu11:46

Mamarokyes! that did work, just adding that particular line makes Hermany show up again in the "Layout" list, but not if you try to use the first option in the KCM "Limit selection by language", so I guess there still is a glitch somewhere12:05

valoriebut what interests you?22:41
apparlehad started working on KDE summer of code long long time back, but couldn't continue due to some personal problems22:41
valorieso you do have some intensive knowledge22:41
apparleand then was away from linux and kubuntu itself for roughly 3-4 years22:41
valorieit takes quite a bit to be accepted22:41
apparleno I don't think so22:42
valoriejust curious: GSoC for KDE, or Season of KDE?22:42
apparleno no not GSoC22:42
apparleI agree... that's a big shot :D22:42
apparleseason of KDE22:42
valorieGSoc is sponsored by Google22:43
valorieSoK is just KDE22:43
valoriewe're just kicking off a new SoK right now, actually22:43
valorienow through the end of Jan.22:43
apparleohh cool22:43
valorieanyway, back on point: what do you see yourself doing in Kubuntu?22:43
apparlebtw, just out of curiosity, how time intensive is it typically... I'm also Graduate student doing my Masters 22:44
valorieit's quite an exciting time here22:44
valoriethat all depends on what you want to do, and how much time you have22:44
apparleI thought I might start with some basic bug fixing etc. though I don't know if that's a good place to start, since it requires knowledge of the existing stuff22:45
valoriehow about testing?22:45
apparlesure, why not 22:45
valorieour supposedly final images are out, with release coming soon22:46
valoriehave you kept up on what's happening in Kubuntu, with our CI and so forth?22:46
apparleno not really... installed Kubuntu about a month ago22:47
valorieok22:47
valorieso KDE is also making big changes, starting by splitting kdelibs into the Frameworks22:47
apparleI was just keeping up with news like Nokia and Qt, but not release-by-release news22:47
apparleok... go on22:48
valoriethat work is largely done, although of course each library is being improved as time goes along22:51
valorieand there is now Plasma 5, based on those new frameworks22:51
valoriethat is nearly done, and 5.1 was released two days ago22:51
valorielots of excitement around that, because it looks and works really elegant22:51
valoriesmooth and modern22:51
valoriestill some stuff missing of course22:51
valoriefinally, applications will be ported as well22:51
valoriesome are done, some remain22:51
valorieso our upstream is up to lots of new wonderful stuff, including using CI too22:51
valoriewe're following along and doing that with our packages - see #kubuntu-ci for the reports as they are generated22:51
apparlewhat's CI ?22:52
valoriethe final bit is that we're putting our new packaging in the Debian git, so we can share packaging with them when possible22:53
valoriethis should give all of us debian and kubuntu packagers more time to improve quality more, while spending less time on repetitive tasks22:53
valoriecontinuous integration with automated testing22:53
apparleohk, is there some documents I can read up, to get started22:54
valoriehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration22:54
valoriewell, get started with what, is the question?22:54
valoriewhat are you interested in22:55
apparle:D I'm not sure22:56
apparleanyway, I've got to run right now... I'll be back in few hours, you'll be around22:56
apparle?22:56
valorieif you want to do testing, here are some links: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/325/builds/82050/testcases22:56
valoriehttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/325/builds/82052/testcases22:57
valorieyes, I'll be around for quite awhile22:57
apparleok testing is one option, what are other options... since you are giving me a choice 22:57
valorieI suggest reading some of kdeplanet22:57
valorieesp. our kubuntu stuff, and look at recent news on kubuntu.org22:58
valoriesee what catches your interest22:58
valorieand we can start from there22:58
apparleok, sounds good, I'll be back after some time22:58
apparlebtw, a side question, do you know if some API or something reports if a sound is playing22:59
apparledbus interface to pulseaudio or phonon?22:59
apparleI get irritated by the fact that system sleeps even when music is playing through some music streaming website, and I thought maybe I'll script it up somehow.23:01
valoriePA reports it, kmix reports it23:01
valorieso you want it not to sleep if there is sound?23:01
valorieyour question might better be answered in #kde-multimedia though23:02
valoriewhere the experts live23:02
apparleyes... that should be the behaviour in a typical system right23:02
apparleif music is playing, or I'm playing a movie on youtube, the system should not go to sleep23:02
apparleactually small small things like this, that's what made me think, let me contribute to the project23:03
apparlebut 3 years, and I'm just amazed at the awesomeness which KDE and Kubuntu have reached.23:04
apparle95% of the things just work out of the box, as compared to how things were, back in 2010-1123:04
valorieapparle: there might be a setting somewhere to inhibit that23:07
valorienot sure23:08
apparleIt seems Amarok and VLC do that on their own. There is a bug on clementine player which I use. But this should be something system wide, implemented at Pulseaudio level I think23:09
valoriethen #pulseaudio might be the chan for ya23:10
valorieor both....23:10
valoriethe thing is, PA is used by many linux systems, not just KDE23:10
valorieso dunno if "system wide" setting like that will work23:10
valorieColing will know23:10
apparleI think I'll have to detect that sound is playing for maybe more than 5sec to conclude that it's not a system sound but a multimedia playback and put it under a script in sleep.d 23:11
apparle/etc/pm/sleep.d23:12
apparlethat should be generic enough to work KDE or non KDE23:12
apparleWe'll discuss this after I'm back. Bye for now.23:14
valorielike I said, take it up with the experts23:14
valorieand look at bugs.kde.org and see if others have reported the same thing23:14
valoriebye23:15
