_Groo_apachelogger: now now, just because it has mplayer in the name doesnt mean its a POS... its actual quite stable, but yeah, as a base for phonon , it might give you slight migraines. although as an added fun it also has ffmpeg code in it... oh the joy! it makes my debugging skill all smoochy inside 03:04
bukaiRiddell: I have come up with some ideas for the website, i.e. creating a theme instead of using a default one from wp. Shall I go ahead with the idea i have in mind for the theme?04:52
lordievaderGood morning.07:10
soeegood morning07:50
_Groo_howdy soee09:05
soee_Groo_: hiho09:37
_Groo_:)09:37
apacheloggerRiddell: reckon someone needs to file for KF5 SRU exception starting with 15.0409:38
_Groo_apachelogger: !!! long time no see09:41
_Groo_apachelogger: my favorite phonon developer09:41
Riddellapachelogger: meh09:52
RiddellI'm taking a day off walking in the hills09:52
apachelogger_Groo_: hello there, welcome back09:53
apacheloggerRiddell: have fun09:53
apacheloggerwait, walking in the hills Oo09:53
_Groo_apachelogger: tks tks, so are you considering using cmplayer as a phonon NSA backdoor, i mean phonon backend?09:54
_Groo_apachelogger: yeah he took a shovel09:54
apacheloggerno09:54
apacheloggermplayer has no api09:54
apacheloggeror does it not actually use mplayer?09:55
_Groo_apachelogger: it uses ffmpeg09:55
apacheloggerat any rate, anything that is directly tied to ffmpeg is unadoptable by half the world and has the added pointlessness of 'we could just use ffmpeg'09:55
_Groo_apachelogger: and mpv09:55
apacheloggermartin sandsmark even has an ffmpeg phonon backend09:55
_Groo_apachelogger: i remember a mplayer backend back in the day09:56
_Groo_used to work09:56
apacheloggerit really didn't09:56
apacheloggersince mplayer has no api09:56
_Groo_it as just a big blob, it called the player directly09:56
apacheloggereverything built ontop of mplayer is usually derpy crap09:56
_Groo_it was*09:56
_Groo_apachelogger: well we have 3 bazillion players but besides gstreamer we dont have any good multimedia frameworks09:57
_Groo_either we use libav/ffmpeg or... vlc?09:57
_Groo_and even those , cross polinate09:57
apacheloggerthere really only should be one framework TBH09:57
_Groo_two... for competition sake09:58
_Groo_if you want to *uck things up, lets make just ONE framework, developed by committee and with apple AND google has leaders09:59
apacheloggerplatformwise the fragementation is very counterproudctive and is the reason multimedia on linux sucks balls09:59
_Groo_that should be fun and fast09:59
_Groo_fragmentation IS linux09:59
apacheloggerno it's not10:00
_Groo_is xine still developed?10:00
_Groo_not in life support, but actively developed?10:00
apacheloggernope10:03
_Groo_apachelogger: so theres not much choice is it?10:10
apachelogger_Groo_: there's two10:14
apacheloggerwhich is one too many considering both leave you wanting10:14
_Groo_vlc and gstreamer10:16

Riddell12:07 < didrocks> Riddell: hey, do you think there would be anything kde-side blocking a bluez5 transition?17:16
Riddellhmm I always forget that17:16
_Groo_oh bluez5, yes please17:25
_Groo_Riddell: do you think my cmplayer proposal was well accepted? :P17:26
_Groo_Riddell: i wonder what the reaction would be if it was a complex or dangerous package. so much17:26
_Groo_drama17:26
Riddell_Groo_: sorry I've been away today and not read the replies17:32
_Groo_Riddell: its a good read17:33
_Groo_Riddell: how was the hicking?17:33
sgclarkRiddell: hope you had a good day, stopping in, or do you have a moment for a question?17:36
lordievaderIs the Plasma5 image boken? Used Unetbootin to make a live-usb. And sddm is saying it can't open /lib/init/init-d-script17:57
lordievaderAnd he is right, there is no such file.17:57
ovidiu-florinRiddell: bukai asked me for the WP site code18:01
ovidiu-florinI'm not sure I understand what exactly to give him18:01
lordievaderAh restarting sddm fixed it.18:01
Riddellsgclark: ask away18:02
Riddellovidiu-florin: I gave him an account on the server so he should have everything18:02
Riddell_Groo_: ach didn't get that far, ended up with doors locked with me on one side and neighbours on the other18:03
ovidiu-florinRiddell: then why did he ask me for the code? which by the way he shouldn't need18:07
ovidiu-florinWP is open source, if he really needs the core code18:07
ovidiu-florinbut for developing a theme I don't think it is necessary18:07
Riddellno it's not18:07
ovidiu-florindon't get me wrong18:07
ovidiu-florinhe can have it18:07
sgclarkRiddell: I found our config path issue which will fix several items, plasam5 moved to XDG_CONFIG_DIR which is set in 00upstart and then overwritten in 60x11-common_xdg_path and I can only get *rc files to be aknowleged in the paths there. /usr/share/kubuntu-settings setup no longer works. Soooo my question is how to best override so we can seperate kubuntu specific configs18:07
ovidiu-florinbut it isn't necessary18:08
sgclarkRiddell: right now I can only get config files to work in /etc/xdg and /etc/xdg/xdg-plasma18:09
sgclarkRiddell: as set by 60x11-common-xdg-path Xsession.d script18:09
sgclarkRiddell: (also it breaks the upstart script FYI)18:10
lordievaderHmm the plasma5 installer crashed on removing intamfstools.18:20
lordievaderCan the Kubuntu Next ppa be used on Vivid?18:52
sgclarkNo - work in progress of moving to normal ppa/archive18:53
lordievaderOk, then I won't add it (yet).18:54
lordievaderThanks.18:54
sgclarkRiddell: I am putting all of my notes and discoveries on the trello card, just take a look when you have time. Thanks19:08
Riddellthanks sgclark 19:19
soeehey hey19:20
Riddellsgclark: I guess somehow we want to override a setting or environement variable to add to the xdg directories19:20
Riddell$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS19:20
sgclarkRiddell: right, my question is where19:20
Riddellthat needs set somewhere19:20
Riddellpreviously we did it as a patch to startkde19:20
RiddellI don't have a problem with doing the same again19:20
sgclarkRiddell: oh gmm19:20
sgclarkerr19:21
Riddellactually we added it to /etc/kde4rc19:21
sgclarkRiddell: this is for plasma 5 tho19:21
sgclarkRiddell: which I am not convinced reads that and I tried kderc19:21
Riddellno it won't but I wonder if there's something equivalent19:21
Riddellhttp://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html might say19:22
sgclarkRiddell: yeah I have been on the hunt for many hours. Google is failing me. 19:22
Riddellwhere is /etc/xdg/xdg-plasma being set? that must be set by something19:22
sgclarkRiddell: I will keep looking19:22
sgclarkRiddell:  60x11-common_xdg_path would get overwritten on upgrades.19:23
Riddelloh I see19:23
Riddellwell slap a 70xdg-kubuntu-dir in there19:23
sgclarkRiddell: I don't know if it is important, but I noticed 00upstart also exports this path but it gets reset by  60x11-common_xdg_path19:24
Riddellwhich just does export XDG_DATA_DIRS=XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share/kubuntu-settings/kf5-settings19:24
sgclarkRiddell: that was my train of thought was going19:24
sgclarkRiddell: right, I got it sorted :) thanks !!!!19:24
Riddellyay, good stuff sgclark 19:25
sgclarkRiddell: and I learned kubuntu-settings in this task lol woot19:25
ScottKapachelogger: kf5 doesn't meet the criteria for a standing exception.20:03
sgclarkyay it works! where should I put my shiny new kubuntu-settings Riddell20:12
soeesomeone on Plasma5  ?20:20
sgclarkyeah20:21
soeesgclark: does partition manager work for you ?20:22
sgclarksoee: it starts and lists my drives etc. I don't have any spare drives to try and format sorry20:24
soeesgclark: thats not the case20:27
soeefor me it says: Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_: (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkdeinit5_.so: ..20:27
soees i have this error only and app does nto start20:28
sgclarksoee: that seems to be a common problem. did you just install it?20:28
sgclarksoee: try running in a terminal /usr/bin/partitionmanager20:29
soeehm it says that file /home/soee/.kde/share/config/partitionmanagerrc is not ready to write20:29
soeestrange20:30
soeeyeah this singl efile in this location has: -rw------- 1 root root   868 Jul 20 12:41 partitionmanagerrc20:31

sgclarkgosh I don't rightly know20:32
sgclarkmine does not behave that way20:32
soeeok i hcanged rights, now i can run it from terminal20:32
