Riddellbukai: it's stories on the drupal site10:25
Riddellbukai: in a move to wordpress it'll be stories on the wordpress site10:25
bukaiRiddell: So should I move it to wordpress first and then implement it?10:26
Riddellbukai: yeah I think that would be the best way, no you have a design and know what elements you need, work out how to make a wordpress theme10:27
Riddells/no/now/10:27
kubotuRiddell meant: "bukai: yeah I think that would be the best way, now you have a design and know what elements you need, work out how to make a wordpress theme"10:27
bukai_Riddell: ok, then I shall complete all the small changes that needs to be made and convert it. I have an idea for the footer too10:33
bukai_ronnoc: we can put the +1 like and follow option of g+ fb and twitter 10:34
bukai_Riddell: we can put the +1 like and follow option of g+ fb and twitter 10:34
bukai_ronnoc: sorry10:34
bukai_Riddell: In the kubuntu site the blogs i.e. the news feeds are not up to date . So are you sure using plugins will be a good options?10:37
Riddellbukai_: how do you mean?10:43
Riddellthe news feed on http://www.kubuntu.org/ is up to date, telepathy story is the latest10:44
Riddellthere's no plugin10:44
bukai_ it was in November hence I got confused. :(10:45
Riddellnot much news at the start of a cycle "we're sorting everything out for later" isn't too exciting :)10:54
soeewhat do you think, http://kubuntu.dev.soee.pl/ the sample image will be probably replaced by video that presents latets Kubuntu version12:10
soeeso main element that visitor see is video here as video content is more popular these days than some texts12:11
* Riddell lunches, will look shortly12:11
soeebtw Thiago will help to translate content to Brasilian :)12:12
soeejust contact me yetserday so there will be EN, PL, BR and more if i find translators :)12:13

bukai_soee: that was really cool! :)13:08
soeeoh that was only sample, all text are edited same way, you can scale, crop imges from inside this panel13:11
soeeto do translation you must only switch from select box to different language confiugured and done - start translating existsing texts :)13:11

Sick_RimmitHi folks..13:32
Riddellhi Sick_Rimmit13:32
Sick_RimmitJust reading the post about Telepathy, anyone using it ? anyone using it for Video Conferencing ?13:32
Sick_RimmitHi Riddell13:32
RiddellI think lots of people use telepathy, I've never had much success with video conferencing13:33
RiddellI think I tried it and the audio worked one way and the video the other way13:33
RiddellSick_Rimmit: how's your packaging life progressing?13:33
Sick_RimmitRiddell: Was just going to mention the same13:33
Sick_RimmitSo I felt I was a bit lost with how C++ Programs and KDE stuff is all put together, so I've been having a bash at some QTCreator stuff13:34
Sick_RimmitAlso just been so busy evenings, :-(13:34
Sick_RimmitBut next week things are calmer, and I'm planning to have a crack at this13:35

RiddellSick_Rimmit: worth working how how to checkout from git and compile something13:35
Sick_RimmitApparently that might help fix it13:35
Riddellthat'll give you more insight into what a package needs to do13:35
Sick_RimmitRiddell: I OK, with Git we runn all our PHP Stuff with it here13:36
Sick_RimmitI think I also struggle because I just don;t know about all those Debian special tools13:36
Sick_Rimmite.g I'd never heard of dget and dput until you told me13:37
Riddellno they're specific to .deb packaging so I wouldn't expect you to until you do some .deb packaging13:37
Sick_RimmitI though Lintian was an IRC name for some uber l33t code wizard ;-)13:37
Riddell:)13:37

Riddellsitter: do I need to add replaces/conflicts for konsole5 to konsole (kf5 package) ?13:38
sitterno13:38
sitterkonsole5 depends on konsole13:38
sitterit is a diversion of konsole on utopic13:39
bukai_Riddell: Is this fine->https://paste.kde.org/pvgtey0em13:39
sgclarkbtw Riddell complaints that our kf5 packages in no way recommend or suggest that -data counterparts, they used to, why no more?13:39
Riddellsgclark: answered by e-mail, they should do, if you can add those back and upload to vivid that would be great13:40
sgclarkok will do thanks13:40
* sgclark thinks her email is way broken13:40
sgclarkmy last upgrade was a disaster :(13:41
Riddellsgclark: did you get albert's twitter post?13:41
Riddelloh? 13:41
Riddellbukai_: for wire.kubuntu posts or for kubuntu.org news posts?13:42
sgclarktwiiter hmm guess I should check that, I need another 24 hours in my day13:42
Riddellit's not the normal way for bug reports13:42
bukai_Riddell: we have to include wire.kubuntu posts right?13:43
bukai_for the news feed13:43
Riddellbukai_: having them somewhere would be good yes13:44
Riddellbut the stories under "latest articles" in http://test.kubuntu.co.uk/sok/ I understand to be news stories from kubuntu.org13:44
sgclarkFor the twelve images on front page are those just images or need posts tied to them?13:45
RiddellI would expect the ones under "latest articles" to be tied to posts which are news stories for kubuntu.org13:46
bukai_Riddell: I am very confused about the blog part! I thought the latest stories from wire.kubuntu would be displayed there!13:46
Riddellwell it can be both13:47
Riddellbukai_: where would you expect the news stories to be?13:47
Riddellbukai_: if the stories from wire.kubuntu are on the images under "latest articles" how would the images get in the theme?13:48
bukai_Riddell: The images can change in accordance with the latest blogs13:49
Riddellbukai_: but how would it do that automatically?13:50
Riddellneeds to know how to find the image in the rss feed13:50
bukai_it wont be something static, and for that either we need to store it in some database and fetch it or if there is an xml tag for image with the link for that image . the latter would be more helpful13:51
bukai_Riddell: I do not know how we can modify the rss feed or rather generate rss feed with an image tag for every blog13:53
Riddellbukai_: so that needs worked out somehow13:53
Riddellbukai_: but that's why I was expecting the "latest articles" to be just articles from kubuntu.org/news13:54
Riddellwhich is easier to work out what image to show with that13:55
bukai_Riddell: ok, then every article or at least the latest could be assigned a image13:57

bukai_Riddell: thanks :)14:02
bukai_Riddell: I have one more question, how is news added to kubuntu.org?  14:03
Riddellbukai_: I log into drupal, click create content -> news, type some news and voila14:06
bukai_Ok, so all the data is on the page itself ? I have to just put it as it is on the page and then after converting to wordpress new content could be added ?14:08
bukai_Riddell: ^^14:09
Riddellyep14:09
bukai_Riddell: :( I spent the whole day trying to parse the rss feed as I thought it needed to be put in the news page along with the kubuntu.org news!! So now we will keep news at it's place and I can create a cool widget for wire.kubuntu instead14:12
* Riddell posts http://wire.kubuntu.org/?p=20314:13

Riddella cool widget sounds good14:14
Riddellsorry if that feels like you wasted time14:14

Riddellsgclark: depend generally14:16

Riddellmost libraries with data won't be happy without the data files around14:16

RiddellSergobot: so start with 0.5.1 which is qt4 15:03
Riddelland will be easy to update15:04
Riddelland for bonus points, do 5.0.0 which will need some changes for qt5 build15:04
SergobotRiddel: Ok. I will make .deb files for qt4 and qt5 versions15:06
SergobotRiddell: Ok. I will make .deb files for qt4 and qt5 versions15:06

sgclarkyeah, been on my to-do for awhile, but not enough hours in the day15:17

RiddellSergobot: a debian package source is made up of the .orig.tar.gz which is the upstream source, a debian.tar which is the packaging and a .dsc meta-data file16:12
RiddellSergobot: have a look in debian/ for the packaging16:12
RiddellSergobot: go ahead and install what you need16:13
Riddellthis is a cloud server, if we mess up the machine we just shut it down and it's gone16:13
RiddellSergobot: run debuild16:15
RiddellSergobot: install those unmet build-deps16:15
RiddellSergobot: nope, the package names it's asking for are libqt4-dev and xvfb16:16
Sergobotokay16:16
RiddellSergobot: up key  to get back last command is super useful :)16:18
Riddellit's like  cd -   you'll use it all the time once you know it16:18
RiddellSergobot: ok run debuild  to compile it16:18
RiddellSergobot: great, so debuild will run the packages rules  in debian/rules which tell it to run run cmake; make; make install16:20
Riddellbut will also make it into .deb packages16:20
RiddellSergobot: oh also this is dual cpu so you can speed it up by running    debuild -j216:20
RiddellSergobot: press control-C to kill current then  debuild -nc -j216:21
Riddell-nc is no clear so it'll start off where you killed it rather than start all over again16:21
Riddellah you forgot the -nc so it'll start again, but it'll be twice as fast so it's fine :)16:22
=== rdieter_work is now known as rdieter
RiddellSergobot: it compiled!  now it's making the package16:25
RiddellSergobot: woo, all done!16:25
RiddellSergobot: so look in ..  you should see the .deb package16:25
Riddellpackages16:25
RiddellSergobot: you can install them with  sudo dpkg --install *deb16:26
RiddellSergobot: you also need to learn about tab completion16:27
RiddellSergobot: don't type out a filename, just the first letter or two then <tab> to complete16:27
RiddellSergobot: great it installed16:28
RiddellSergobot: inside  grantlee-0.4.0  run  debuild -S  to make the source package16:28
SergobotWhat I should do next?16:28
RiddellSergobot: inside  grantlee-0.4.0  run  debuild -S  to make the source package16:28
Riddellyay you used tab completion :)16:29
SergobotIt was very easy16:29
RiddellSergobot: so the packaging is in debian/ and that gives all the instructions needed to make the .debs16:29
RiddellSergobot: take a look at all the files in debian/ and let me know what you don't understand16:30
SergobotFor what is needed compat file?16:31
RiddellSergobot: when you run debuild that runs a load of debhelper scripts such as dh_install which do various parts of the packaging16:31
RiddellSergobot: those debhelper scripts change their behaviour slightly with each new version, compat just says which version behaviour we are expecting16:32
Riddellso they are backwards compatible16:32
Riddellversion 9 is the newest version and what packages should be using16:32
RiddellSergobot: use  less  to look inside each file16:32
Riddelluploading KDE Applicatiosn 14.11.97!16:34
SergobotI don't understand. These files are empty16:35
RiddellSergobot: no it's not, you're just in the wrong directory :)16:35
SergobotRiddell: for what is needed 'cat'?16:36
RiddellSergobot: I just used cat to output the file16:36
Riddellcat is a very simple command which takes input and spits out output16:37
Riddellif you give it a file it'll read out the file16:37
Riddellif you give it multiple files it'll concatenate them together, which is where it gets its name from16:37
Riddellconcatenate is a silly work you only ever find in programming to mean "join"16:38
RiddellSergobot: good, compat version 9 is the latest version of debhelper16:39
SergobotRiddell: How to rename files and dirs?16:42
RiddellSergobot: what are you doing?16:43
SergobotI want to try to install the latest version of grantlee16:44
RiddellSergobot: git will give you the development version but as packagers we usually work with the released versions16:45
RiddellSergobot: which you can download from here http://downloads.grantlee.org/16:45
RiddellSergobot: as I say there are two released versions, 0.5.1 is the qt4 version so start with that16:45
RiddellSergobot: so for your code-in challenge 16:46
Riddellmake a new directory16:46
Riddelldownload the 0.5.1 tar into it16:46
Riddellrename it to follow the correct name with the .orig16:46
Riddellcopy in the debian/ directory from the existing packaging16:46
Riddelluse  dch   to add a new changelog entry16:47
Riddellrun  debuild  and see what breaks16:47
Sergobothow to copy the 'debian' folder?16:54
RiddellSergobot: cp -r16:54
Riddellfor recursive copy, that copyies the folder and everything inside it16:54
RiddellSergobot: rename the tar :)16:59
SergobotRiddell: What need I change there?17:03
RiddellSergobot: I just quit emacs and started nano which is a friendlyer text editor :)17:03
RiddellSergobot: add what the change at the *  like "new upstream release"17:03
RiddellSergobot: change my name and e-mail to yours17:03
Riddellchange the version number in the top line to 0.5.1-0ubuntu117:04
RiddellSergobot: version 0.5.1  (not 0.5.0)17:05
SergobotThat's all?17:05
Riddellyep17:05
RiddellSergobot: ah this is a silly ubuntu rule17:09
RiddellSergobot: replace maintainer in debian/rules with ..17:09

SergobotIs it right?17:12
RiddellSergobot: remove the space at the start of the line17:12
RiddellSergobot: ok it was a .gz not a .xz so I changed the name17:14
Riddellawooga!17:14
RiddellSergobot: although debuild -j2  will be twice as fast :)17:14
SergobotHooray!17:18
Riddellyay!17:18
RiddellSergobot: best finish 0.5.1 first17:21
RiddellSergobot: check there's no missing files17:21
Riddellin the source run  dh_install --list-missing17:22
Riddell(sometimes new versions create new files and you'll need to add them to the .install files)17:22
RiddellSergobot: lovely17:23
Riddellthen to make the source package  debuild -S17:23
Riddellthat'll give you the .orig .debian and .dsc files 17:24

RiddellSergobot: grantlee_0.5.1-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz17:40
Sergobotokay17:40
RiddellSergobot: for 5.0.0 you'll need to replace the build-depends in debian/control with the qt5 ones it needs, using apt-cache search  will help you find out what they're called17:40
Riddell(they're not just changing 4 -> 5 I'm afraid)17:40

sgclarkSergobot: right, if I don't answer it is not because I am ignoring you, I am havin IRC connection issues :(17:42
mamarleysgclark: What client are you using (and what issues are you having?)17:44
sgclarkkonversation is my normal client and will not stay connected for more than 5 seconds. Complain about QCA SSL not compiled etc. I am on bnc so I think* that is what is dropping connection. I am using quassel now with only seems to drop every 10 mins or so. Dunno what the problem with it is.17:46
sgclarksitter says it is not suppose to be compiled with qca so /shrug dunno17:47
mamarleySorry :(17:47
sgclarktho my pc has had serveral gremlins crop up for sometime now. It was an upgrade of upgrade + mess fixes from disaster nvidia issues. It might right be time for a fresh install, just no time to do so17:48
BluesKajsgclark, I noticed nvidia is holding off on their newest drivers for linux due to some bugs in the 340 series. My entry level 8400GS card runs fine on the 331 linux driver, but my windows 7 install on the same pc uses the 340 series driver without any litches so far.18:10
BluesKajerr glitches18:11
sgclarkI get black screen on 331 with my GTX780ti so I am running the latest from the nvidia site18:12
mamarleyDid you install from the .run file?18:12
sgclarkthat is all working now, but others things are not18:12
sgclarkmamarley: yeah18:12
mamarleyThat can cause problems sometimes, especially with Debian/Ubuntu's strange way of doing GL libraries now.18:13
sgclarkblech18:13
geniiMeh. Any way to tell sddm not to stretch it's display over all available monitors by default? 18:13
sgclarkgenii: if you find out let me know18:14
geniisgclark: It's pretty annoying.18:14
mamarleyThere are a couple of different PPAs that have later versions of the NVIDIA drivers.  I operate one (ppa:mamarley/nvidia).18:14
sgclarkgenii: agreed18:14
sgclarkmamarley: oooh I will try that18:15
mamarleyCurrently, it packages the 340 release and the latest release for Trusty and Utopic, but I guess I should probably add Vivid.18:15
sgclarkoh right, I am on vivid18:15
mamarley(That will take a bit, thanks to my crappy ISP.)18:15
sgclarknp, just let me know when you do :)18:15
BluesKajhmm nvidia suggests the 319 driver for the GTX780 ti18:18
BluesKajodd18:18
* mamarley advises ignoring that suggestion.18:18
sgclarkeer18:18
sgclarkthis card is not that old! lol18:18
mamarleysgclark: I am uploading 346.16 for Vivid now.  It should work properly, since Vivid has the same major version of xorg as Utopic.18:21
sgclarkmamarley: thanks!18:21
BluesKajCorrection, they recommend the 340 series actually 18:21
sgclarkwhew18:21
* mamarley slaps Time Warner Cable around a bit with a large trout.18:22
sgclarkheh Comcast here is terrible, my net goes out several times a day18:22
* BluesKaj has to check google more closely ..it's becoming unreliable lately18:22
sgclarkyes, google has been failing me terribly lately18:23
BluesKajI miss google-linux ...it actaully worked18:31
BluesKajeru actually even18:31
* mamarley will upgrade to vivid once all the KDE5 stuff is sorted out and working properly.18:32
mamarleyBoth of my systems are more-or-less critical, so I can't do early testing on them :(18:32
Sergobotsgclark: Can you help me?18:34
sgclarkyeah I am finding running unstable on my production machine was probably not ideal, but I have limited resources so I have to test on my production machine lol18:34
sgclarkSergobot: sure thing, whats up?18:34
mamarleyOn the other hand, I have money, so I could buy another computer...18:34
Sergoboti can't compile grantlee18:35

sgclarkSergobot: I can't see your screen unfortnately my irc dropped. 18:36
* sgclark looks18:36
sgclarkSergobot: ok so that is a bad patch. It does not say can be reverse applied so it gets more complicated. let me see if I can find something for you to study18:37
BluesKajmamarley,  I've been waiting patiently for plasma 5 to start working properly...it's frustrating to see upgrades everyday that appear to no effect on all it's problems18:37
BluesKajhave no effect, rather18:38
sgclarkSergobot: you will need to start here: http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/quilt.html for the quilt patch management18:39
sgclarkSergobot: also, have you worked with patches before? aka looking at code to see if the patch applies etc?18:39
sgclarkSergobot: soemtimes it is just a matter of lines numbers changing18:40
mamarleysgclark: OK, nvidia-346, nvidia-settings, and libvdpau have all been uploaded for vivid.  It shouldn't take them too long to build.18:40
mamarleynvidia-340 is uploading now.18:40
sgclarkmamarley: yay!18:40
Sergobotsgclark: No, I haven't.18:41
* BluesKaj sticks with the 331 driver on the old desktop pc with nvidia 8400gs on 14.10 and plasma 418:42
mamarleyFor an 8400, you could run up through the 340 series if you wanted to.18:43
* mamarley still has an 8600 and a 9500 in service, which is why he maintains that particular legacy version in his PPA>18:43
BluesKajmamarley, it's not recommended and I haven't had much luck with the nvidia proprietary drivers, especially after opengl upgrades etc18:44
mamarleyMy system with the 8600 (m GT, to be specific) works fine with 340.xx.18:45
BluesKajmamarley, on 14.10 or 15.04?18:46
mamarley14.10.18:46
* BluesKaj nods18:46
sgclarkSergobot: You will need to open the patch it can be found in debian/patches/variantIsTrue-float-fix.diff 18:48
sgclarkSergobot: then you need to read the patch and find things like what file(s) it patches, then you need to compare the patch with those files and see if the patch applies. Sometime the patched lines just moved to a different location in the code. Other times the code changed significantly and if you don't know if it applies you may have to go to upstream.18:51
sgclarkSergobot: so like give me a minute and I will grab the source to look and give you a clue18:51
sgclarkSergobot: can you tell me what ubuntu source you used for the /debian folder?18:54
Sergobotsgclark: I don't understand you18:58
sgclarkSergobot: ok nm18:58
sgclarkSergobot: ok so that code does not apply at all in the qt5 build, was from qt4, so what you need to do is: type quilt delete variantIsTrue-float-fix.diff and quilt refresh19:07
sgclarkSergobot: the try and compile again19:07
sgclarkSergobot: that make sense? 19:09
Sergobotsgclark: It makes, but now I have another issue. I am fixing it now19:10
