ahoneybunplus 15.10 will be better then 15.04 I hope02:00
valorieyour first time, you'll want time to explore02:00
* ahoneybun read that very very wrong02:00
valorieof course 15.10 will be better02:00
valorie15.04 is a bit bumpy; so much new stuff02:01
ahoneybunI used to blame systemd but Ubuntu 15.04 is just fine02:01
ahoneybunwith systemd02:01
ahoneybunstill is bumpy02:01

valorielooks great, ovidiu-florin!04:16
valorieI like it in B/W04:16
seaLnevalorie, ahoneybun, Riddell: i'm not to sure how useful giving out kubuntu dvds at akademy would be. i'm sure lots of people would take them but they could also quite easily make them selves a usb stick with it on. if there is going to be a limited number some other conferences might be a better target imho. blue systems can have a table ("booth") if they want05:56
ovidiu-florinahoneybun: are you still awake?05:58

ahoneybunthanks seaLne05:59

macguyHi, is it a good idea to istall Kubuntu on a Mac? Will I face any problems regarding software availability etc?07:12
macguyAlso will I face any hardware issues? Something like the webcam not working fine, or any other piece of hardware?07:16
soeemacguy: try it on virtual machine, i have no idea how it will work on mac :)07:35
macguysoee: I have used it on a virtual machine for quite some time now07:36
macguyits been running fine on virtualbox07:36
soeethe only problem i see is taht you won't have all this fancy apps that mac offers07:37
soeehardware is hardware so it should works just fine i think07:37
macguysoee: would you recommend dual booting OS X and ubuntu?07:39
Riddellmparillo: wp upgraded and new theme on wire.kubuntu.org07:40
Riddellmacguy: user questions are best on #kubuntu usually07:40
soeemacguy: can't give any advice. i never used mac :) I'm running Kubuntu next to windows only and it works just fine07:50
soeeif you create separate partitions for kubuntu, it's prettyu safe to install it and test. i'm not sure how bootloader works on mac and if it iwll be detect and updated properly by kubuntu07:52
soeealways backup your origibnal (mac) data before such changes ;07:52
scottnIf I wanted to build .deb packages of some of the latest KDE software for Ubuntu 15.04 is their any howtos on how to do this? I know how to compile the source and have a limited understanding of the debian rules. The bit I'm missing is how to two relate. 07:58
soeeRiddell: ^08:09
soeescottn: maybe you are interested in packaging generally ? I think Jonathan could help you start with it and maybe you would liek to help Kubntu devs with packaging ? :)08:12
Riddellhi scottn08:13
Riddellyou'd need to learn packaging in general which takes a few days of playing around08:14
Riddellthen we have some scripts to do it in bulk but they're a bit fragile so you need to know how to fix them up08:14
Riddellbut I think sgclark may be doing backports to 15.0408:15
sitter"fix"08:15
Riddellwhat do you want to package?08:15
scottnRiddell: Was wanting to do the 15.04.2 KDE applications but realised I didn't know enough to know where to start. I've added debian rules to source files to convert them to .debs but in this case these must already exist.08:22
scottnSo was looking for some pointers on how you guys do it when you build stuff for the backports PPA.08:23
scottnThat's my short term goal. Longer term I could maybe help with the packaging once I've understood what needs to be done and how it works.08:24
Riddelluh, sgclark I may have just screwed up08:24
Riddellscottn: can you build a package?08:24
Riddellcos you need to learn how to do it generally before you do bulk stuff08:25
scottnYes. I'm happy creating my own debian directory with it's rules, dependencies etc for very small and simple source repositories, but never tried anything of the complexity of some of the KDE packages, other than build them from source.08:26
Riddellsgclark: ug yes I did, in tidying up the PPAs I forgot you had stuff in progress and deleted next-staging :( you may hit me08:26
scottnFor that I've used the kdesrc package08:27
Riddellscottn: do you have a PPA?08:27
scottnNo08:27
Riddellscottn: you'll need one :)08:32
Riddellscottn: these are the scripts we use to do bulk packaging https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/+junk/kubuntu-automation/08:33
scottnIs that the same as a Ubuntu One account? I have one of those. 08:33
Riddellscottn: but as I say they're a bit bit-worn08:33
Riddellscottn: ubuntu one account will get you an account on launchpad, where you can make a PPA (personal package archive) and packages can be uploaded to08:33
Riddellscottn: we then have packaging in debian git http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/08:34
Riddellscottn: e.g. you can see the vivid_backports branch for amor that would be used for 15.04 backports http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/applications/amor.git/08:34
scottnOK. Logged into launchpad with my ubuntu one account.08:35
Riddellscottn: one of the kubuntu-automation scripts will put together the packaging from git with the tar from kde.org and put it into a launchpad ppa08:36
Riddellscottn: and one of the other kubuntu-automation scripts will make a readable output like this so we can see if there's problems http://qa.kubuntu.co.uk/plasma-status/build_status_5.3.1_vivid.html08:36
lordievaderGood morning.08:37
soeehiho lordievader08:38
scottnOK. Thanks. Let me have a look at those to start with and then hopefully I can start asking some intelligent questions :-). I'm in New Zealand so it's 8:37 pm so there may be a bit of a delay.08:39
Riddellscottn: and good to have you here, do stick around, try to let the politics not interfere with the fun too much08:40
lordievaderHey soee, how are you doing?08:40

Riddellclivejo: I've not no16:11
Riddellclivejo: digikam would be good, although it's not small either16:11
clivejoI cant work out what calligra is complaining about16:14
clivejoIve googled for hours on it and still cant figure it out16:14
Riddellclivejo: it's probably something easyish but if you deleted it hard to find out now16:21
Riddellno bother, give digikam a try16:21
clivejowhat base package should I use16:21
clivejoIll try again16:21

Riddellyes 1:2.9.5-0ubuntu~ubuntu15.10~ppa1 is right16:39
