[05:38] i'm in the live image, using it now, of kubuntu 15.04, and the installer crashes on efi as per this bug report; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1428877 how do i work around it or fix it [05:38] Launchpad bug 1428877 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "partman crashes when trying to make a EFI partition" [High,Triaged] [08:09] Riddell: ping [08:09] What's the state of Wayland on Kubuntu? [08:09] Riddell: should I branch a kubuntu_vivid_backports from stable in plasma repos? [08:10] actually I probably should let it integrate first [08:10] ovidiu-florin: it exists [08:11] Can it be used? [08:11] sure [08:11] just not productively [08:11] just not for the majority of apps [08:11] just not for 90% of the things you want to do with it [08:13] IIRC the timeline for kwin was having something usable early 2016 which we might then test or focus transition on with 16.10 (after lts) [08:16] as long as the nvidia situation is not solved I doubt Kubuntu will be able to do a default transition anyway [08:16] hi sitter [08:17] sitter: I'm confused why would you branch kubuntu_vivid_backports? [08:17] mgraesslin: which nvidia situation? [08:17] My question exactly [08:19] I think nvidia has many situations :) [08:19] sitter: bug 1442512 has been reported as significant [08:19] bug 1442512 in apport (Ubuntu) "/usr/share/apport/apport-kde:11:same_key:QHash:value:QPropertyAnimation::updateState:setState" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1442512 [08:20] Riddell: not supporting Wayland [08:21] You mean the driver is hard-coded Xorg? [08:21] For * [08:22] no [08:22] mgraesslin: what about on Intel boards? [08:23] ? [08:24] If nvidia has issues with Wayland, does intel have them as well? [08:25] you know that Wayland is mainly an Intel thing? [08:26] I'm missing some knowledge [08:28] Is wikipedia a good starting point? [08:29] ovidiu-florin: keith packard works for intel and does muchos wayland as I understand it [08:30] Riddell: wrong [08:30] I never said I understand it right :) [08:30] Riddell: keith works for HP [08:30] but he used to work for intel [08:30] On Wayland? [08:30] mostly X [08:31] I thought development stopped for Xorg [08:31] "Dave Morley (davmor2) renewed their own membership in the Kubuntu Members" yay davmor2 still loves us! [08:31] no [08:33] Riddell: vivid_backports for whoever is going to package it at soome point [08:33] seeing as plasma 5.3 would land in backports [08:33] just like apps15.04 [08:33] alas, that also hasn't been packaged so there's that [08:34] Riddell: that apport crash is in breeze [08:34] in fact, it might actually be pyqt [08:35] I recall shadeslayer did workarounds to do with destruction of the app [08:35] sitter: I'd leave branching until someone does the packaging [08:38] fair enough [08:38] Python Exception Type does not have a target.: === greyback__ is now known as greyback [08:46] Riddell: I think that something in apport-kde raises an exception which causes an abort which then crashes breeze because something is not deconstructing properly [08:47] mgraesslin: do you use KDevelop? [08:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0 [08:47] yes [08:47] Riddell: bug 1440585 probably [08:47] bug 1440585 in apport (Ubuntu) "apport-kde crashed with TypeError in ui_update_view(): index 0 has type 'bytes' but 'str' is expected" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1440585 [08:51] Riddell: you didn't update the runtime deps of the package Oo [08:55] oops [09:03] Riddell: fix in queue [09:04] also [09:04] libmuon/backends/ApplicationBackend/ApplicationNotifier.cpp: i18n("System update available!"), [09:04] that's what is causing the notification spam on apt update [09:05] mm right [09:05] it's a reasonable thing to notify about but it needs to be a bit more clever about when it notifies [09:07] the konsole crash is so flipping annoying [09:07] I'm glad you agree [09:07] it's not too hard to port away from KUniqueApplication [09:08] but that seems inelegant [09:08] I want to know why other distros don't seem to get it [09:19] Good morning. [09:23] well then [09:23] Riddell: I don't think that apport crash is new [09:23] or rather... I don't see how it could be new [09:24] it queries properties of the apport report object and for some reason it runs into a property that is a bytearray rather than a string to which pyqt says nono [09:25] so chances are the underlyign problem is really that the code in question is run on a property that has a bytearray where the bytearray most likely doesn't contain something that should be printed anyway [09:29] sure doesn't help that I can't reproduce it with an actual crash [09:32] :( thanks for looking into it [09:37] what we can do is force encode to utf8 string [09:37] that would make it not raise an exception, although, the exception here isn't fatal if I cause it [09:38] so there must be something else astray on the affected systems [10:03] morning ovidiu-florin [10:03] <-- uses names :p [10:04] morning [10:05] o/ [10:05] can someone help me here with an IRC issue? [10:05] just ask :) [10:06] Riddell: in private [10:08] sitter: lp 1271599 [10:08] Launchpad bug 1271599 in akonadi (Ubuntu) "akonadi has undocumented delta with debian package" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1271599 [10:09] yofel: that should go in the packaging not the bug report [10:09] well, we can make a README.Debian I guess [10:10] I'm more interested on your opinion on the virtual-* stuff [10:10] *in [10:10] such a long read [10:11] I'm in favor [10:12] though I will also say that I wasn't too happy about the mariadb alternate. a package harddepping mariadb getting installed can totally bust a users akonadi without him realizing [10:12] or vice versa for that matter [10:14] sure, I mean we already had that issue with just mysql, which caused the backend getting replaced by sqlite. apt would happily replace mariadb-10 with mysql-5.6 if there's a problem [10:14] There's not really anything you can do against that though as long as we don't ship an embedded copy of mysql [10:15] only alternative is to only depend on mysql-5.6, which then means that people can't use mariadb or percona [10:16] yeah, it is somewhat meh [10:20] sitter: how about removing the hard dep on a-b-m, depping on virtual-* and instead adding a-b-m and mysql-server-core-5.6 to kubuntu-desktop deps? [10:20] That's meh too, but maybe better represents what we actually support and what not... [10:20] apt-get doesn't support wildcards anymore? [10:20] it should... [10:20] what did you use? [10:20] yeah... it's regex now, not wildcards [10:21] aah [10:22] eh? [10:23] apt-get doesn't have a perl regex parser and even the posix regex parsing is quite the hacky awfulness [10:24] apt-get install libkf5*-dev [10:24] doesn't work ^ [10:24] apt-get install libkf5.*-dev [10:25] works ^ [10:25] i'm in the live image, using it now, of kubuntu 15.04, and the installer crashes on efi as per this bug report; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1428877 how do i work around it or fix it [10:25] Launchpad bug 1428877 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "partman crashes when trying to make a EFI partition" [High,Triaged] [10:26] http://pastebin.com/ZNrdthMC [10:29] ovidiu-florin: Perhaps your shell tries to do the regex parsing?

[11:09] i asked about it a long ago even added bug for sddm but it was said it is distro related [11:12] Riddell: batter widget blew up overnight, so I am now tossing a coin on whether to roll a new iso of the completely new stable builds or go with the iso from yesterday or go with the battery broken iso from today's master [11:12] *battery [11:32] Hiyas all [11:33] hiho BluesKaj [11:34] hey soee_ [11:55] i'm in the live image, using it now, of kubuntu 15.04, and the installer crashes on efi as per this bug report; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1428877 how do i work around it or fix it [11:55] Launchpad bug 1428877 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "partman crashes when trying to make a EFI partition" [High,Triaged] [11:55] http://pastebin.com/ZNrdthMC === rdieter_work is now known as rdieter [12:07] Guest50312: no idea i never hd this problem [12:11] I thought there already was an efi partition on the machine at purchase, and linux has to install grub on it , is this correct? [12:22] i do have an efi partition [12:22] i also have my bios set for "insecure boot" [12:23] I'm not sure , but i think it should be secure for efi mode [12:24] maybe, but 14.04 and 14.10 never complained [12:25] its something specific to the installer in vivid 15.04 [12:42] perhaps Guest50312 , I didn't fool around with efi when I got my laptop , just wiped the whole hdd clean then partitioned to ntfs and ext4 for dual booting W7 and Kubuntu, because at the time there was so much trouble with linux on efi I decided to bypass the problem entirely. [12:55] BluesKaj: i also whiped windows off and went straight linux. i have been windowless since about 2000 [12:56] but this is also the first laptop i've had that has efi, so on my previous installations, as i mentioned earlier, 14.04 and 14.10 i was able to install with efi partition no prob. now vivid is beta 2 and ubi-partman crashes on efi [12:57] yes, I understand a lot of users are reluctant to drop uefi since linux has mostly solved the installation problems with it [12:57] right [12:57] what i'm trying now is just deleting the efi partition and see if that will work [12:58] since i am booting insecurely, i should be ok [12:58] it should work, that's what's puzzling about your crashes [12:59] but that doesnt really address the installer crashing on efi [12:59] well, i gave the link to pastebin [12:59] that shows the log of what happened [13:20] Guest50312, beta 2 is available in the dailies , maybe you'll have better luck with it [13:23] ty BluesKaj, thats where i got this image from [13:31] Riddell: the touchpad kcm is weirdly broken or something [13:31] cmake that is [13:31] oh? [13:31] I just took a screenshot of it, can't be that broken [13:33] what the fuck [13:36] I am going so mad about this fucking plunder repos with everything and the kitchen sink in it [13:36] which one? ^^ [13:37] we have a couple kitchen sinks.. [13:37] where? I don't think I've seen one in the office for over a year and a half [13:37] Riddell: ^^ get it ? :P [13:38] shadeslayer: how the hell do you guys endure summer in the office? ^^ [13:38] we have AC's but no sinks xD [13:39] ah, that works too ^^ [13:39] ACs that sometimes work, but indeed no sink, if you have a spare one send it this way [13:45] KDESVN is not available in vivid [13:45] Riddell: I don't get why plasma-sdk is in workspace btw [13:46] sitter: is it? [13:46] ovidiu-florin: I'm afraid it overlapped with something in kf5 land [13:47] Riddell: getting released with workspace makes it a workspace thing, no? [13:47] sitter: getting released with plasma makes it a plasma thing [13:47] there is no workspace thing [13:48] right [13:48] so why does my mom's plasma need an sdk? [13:48] mom jokes on the way [13:48] :p [13:48] I hereby herald the return of kde sc because there officially is no more distinction between frameworks, plasma and apps [13:48] I doubt it goes, but if she wants to write a plasmoid she knows where to go [13:49] s/goes/does/ [13:49] Riddell meant: "I doubt it does, but if she wants to write a plasmoid she knows where to go" [14:24] Riddell: any idea what? [14:25] ovidiu-florin: kiosvn I think [14:39] Riddell: so who shoudl i ping to make nvidia propriety drivers work in 15.04 ? [14:40] soee_: tseliot on #ubuntu-devel (alberto) is the dude who's been working on it [15:05] I love working in Beta :D I get lot's of updates [15:05] * ovidiu-florin is an update addict [15:20] ovidiu-florin: +1 :) [15:32] morning [15:33] good mornign sgclark [15:36] sgclark! [15:36] hola chica [15:36] hi :) [15:36] moin [15:37] anyone get to applications? I have some time today if not [15:38] sgclark: we have kf5, apps (backports) and plasma 5.3 beta backports to do [15:38] I guess kf5 is the highest priority as that could maybe still go into the archive [15:39] okies I will start with kf5 and go from there [15:45] sgclark: thanks :) [15:45] sgclark: I think that'll need kubuntu_unstable merged in [15:45] sgclark: oh and modemmanager is new but needs plasma-nm patched for it [15:45] Riddell: yeah rounding up sitter emails and the gem script he gave me [15:46] patched? [15:46] https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.9.0.php plasma-nm patch there [15:46] Riddell: ok [15:46] modemmanager was previously part of plasma [15:47] right [15:52] sgclark: i can always do tests :) [15:52] :) [15:52] will be a few, I have to update my chroots etc [16:02] quick vote: how would you feel about spliting the community page in Contribute and Support? [16:02] http://kubwp.kubuntu.co.uk/community/ [16:04] wouldn't that duplicate support content? contribute OTOH could probably be folded into community though [16:07] hm, wait, support is already only linked (ask ubuntu is also community though..) [16:07] contribute is a more call to action term [16:07] @ frontpage, i would replace the first icon (download) with something else, and put a big Download button in banner section [16:08] one sec, ill show you one of my old drafts [16:08] why not make the banner a link? [16:09] https://cloud.soee.pl/index.php/s/3w9ehEhlvpvwBgw [16:10] yofel: i woudl also separat ebanner image (us eonly backgorund) and put text on separate layer [16:10] that could work [16:11] FWIW, if you want a green download button, you might as well color the Download entry in the navbar green [16:12] sgclark: the most time consuming part of frameworks is that launchpad isn't clever enough to work out the retries so you need to run ./kubuntu-retry-builds to fix it (see README) [16:13] hm, that looks ugly tough -.- [16:13] Riddell: okies [16:13] soee_: is the banner intentionally that huge? On my 1600x900 notebook the only text I see at first is the navbar and the banner... the icons below are too far down [16:14] yofel: ithink banner shoudl be the main element visible on frontpage when user hits it [16:14] Riddell: does updating kf5 to 5.9 in vivid actually fix any serious bugs? Or what use case does it have less than a week before final freeze...? [16:14] and it shudl contain text about current kubuntu version and maybe some motto + button to download page [16:15] soee_: not arguing against that, but what I see is https://kyofel.de/owncloud/index.php/s/mqX2uqmrEQikaK8 [16:15] which... doesn't feel quite right [16:16] (ignore the green at the top ^^) [16:19] well the banner could be even bigger imo [16:20] example http://www.gt3themes.com/website-templates/groutek/home_type4.html [16:20] yofel: it's 0.1 better? it means we can backport plasma without worrying about backporting frameworks with it? [16:21] soee_: that would be better, yeah [16:21] yofel: even if it doesn't go in it's not like it's wasting scarlett's time it'll go into backports ppa [16:21] infact it could go into backports backports [16:21] Riddell: sure, didn't argue about that. My hair just stands up if I read uploads with patchery so close to release... [16:28] Riddell: when this patch from tseliot might land in vivid ? [16:31] soee_: when someone adds it, my head's pretty broken just now so I can't right now [16:34] why broken :) ? [16:42] soee_: oh randomness of a head with a head injury, but it's friday evening so I guess it knows I've been spending too long on the plasma 5.3 announcement [16:42] take a break :) [16:45] mm, now you mention it, good idea :) [17:01] Riddell: gosh I am so freaking confused on all this merge stuff, I merge unstable to backport sor what ? where? sigh [17:04] * soee_ wonders why it is so complicated :) [17:04] I am sure it isn't but I have had my kde hat on for too long and fell behind [17:14] ok I hate ruby [17:15] :O [17:15] why [17:16] I am alway missing gems and can't sort how where to get them [17:16] error pft [17:17] wtf [17:17] ruby has no virtualenv? [17:17] everytime I try to install a gem I get package metadata is missing two seperate computers now [17:17] again I hate ruby [17:18] all I want to do is run this merge script :( [17:19] sgclark: for frameworks it's just kubuntu_unstable into kubuntu_vivid_archive [17:20] why is it unstable for a released version of frameworks o.O? [17:20] soee_: it's complex because there's kde stable and unstable, frameworks, plasma and applications and ubuntu vivid and 14.10 [17:20] so that's a lot of combinations [17:20] oh right, frameworks has no branches [17:21] shadeslayer: could one of you CI people please make a README for the branch merging? [17:22] yofel: https://community.kde.org/images.community/a/a5/Kubuntu_CI_Mergeflow.png [17:22] Riddell: okies, well I can't even get this script to work [17:22] yofel: https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/CI#Merges [17:23] sgclark: kubuntu-initial-upload does already have a git merge command in it, it's not well tested but it should merge while packaging [17:24] Riddell: ahh lovely [17:24] thanks [17:24] just needs a -b unstable (I hope) [17:26] shadeslayer: ok, that's something at least [17:27] Riddell: that's not the correct error handling... or do you really log the whole script output and grep for what couldn't be merged? [17:28] I'm curious what your workflow is there.. [17:29] shadeslayer: logger/colors ? what can I install to make that available to ruby [17:30] colorize did nothing, ruby-color did nothing [17:31] yofel: in kubuntu-initial-upload ? I really don't know I just added it quickly one time and only used it once [17:32] Riddell, sgclark: this should work a bit better http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/+junk/kubuntu-automation/revision/519 [17:33] yofel: ty [17:33] Riddell: ah ok [18:14] sgclark: you need logger-colors [18:14] sgclark: y u no bundler up [18:14] bundler up? [18:14] just cd into pangea-tooling, gem install bundler, bundler up [18:15] auto installs all the thuings [18:15] *things [18:15] sgclark: and use rvm to manage ruby on your machine [18:15] ahh okies, guess it is high time I sit down and learn ruby [18:15] ty [18:15] I have 3 ruby's installed [18:15] from ubuntu, ruby 2.2.1 and ruby from git [18:16] yeah I have rvm installed on desktop, still could not get things working [18:16] sgclark: rvm help install ? [18:16] for whatever reason when the script fails I cannot install any gems etc it always fails with missing metadat $scriptname [18:17] metadata* [18:18] I don't understand why it keeps going to the failed script to install gems [18:18] got a log for me? [18:18] or using it in some way. it is nowhere in the command [18:18] shadeslayer: hmm does ruby log somehwhere? [18:19] sgclark: just give me stdout [18:20] shadeslayer: paste.ubuntu.com/10793430 [18:23] why are you trying to run agem [18:23] wait what [18:23] that looks weird [18:23] sgclark: oh and : export GEM_HOME=$(ruby -e 'print Gem.user_dir') [18:24] shadeslayer: that is the script sitter gave me for merging ci [18:24] where is it [18:25] shadeslayer: let me email it to you, it was a paste I have no longer the link [18:25] ok [18:26] why... do we need a seperate script for that o.O? [18:27] perhaps we don't , we'll see how my initial upload went [18:27] or goes [18:27] when I find ecm that is [18:28] shadeslayer: and for what its worth I can no longer install any gems on either computer now [18:29] oh patch.. right [18:29] sgclark: ecm changed version numbers so now it matches frameworks [18:29] maybe something needs to be removed for that [18:30] ahh [18:30] sgclark: 0.o [18:30] 0.o [18:35] Riddell: some clarity please, dfaure says to patch plasma-nm but that is not a framework. What am I patching here? [18:37] sgclark: patch plasma-nm if modemmanager-qt 5.9 is used with it [18:37] modemmanager-qt changed for frameworks so plasma-nm has to be changed with it [18:44] Riddell: you said that USB creator is not working? [18:44] ahoneybun: usually not no :( [18:45] Riddell: what about using k3b? [18:45] * Riddell half hopes prth can fix it as part of the gsoc project [18:45] ahoneybun: that works fine for cd/dvds I think [18:45] and dd for usb?
