sgclarkI do believe the red is stemmed from a lack of qt 5.502:47
lordievaderGood morning.08:07
Riddell? http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/10/26/joint-statement-kubuntu-council-community-council/09:28
Riddell"both councils collaborated and resolved any tensions together" they bully me so I feel I have to leave and that's resolved?09:28
Riddellthey still claim restrictions on ubuntu software which do not exist and which are contrary to ubuntu policy09:29
sittercount as resoled tension in my book09:31
alleeRiddell: I was also confused when I read the blog post09:31
* sitter can't type nomo09:31
lordievaderReads a bit like a cover up story, pretending everything is fine...09:34
alleeOnly MHO of course: I think as long a  ubuntu CC does not state that in the future they promise coordinate from the begining with Kubuntu CC before any action against kubuntu members nothing is resolved. 09:35
Riddellthat's the UCC preferred way of resolving tension... I'm speachless09:36
alleeRiddell: does this mean the post had not the blessing of k cc?09:38
RiddellI've no idea09:39
sitterdoesn't seem to have been proof read anyway :P09:40
* Riddell posts http://jriddell.org/2015/10/27/resolving-tension/09:43
clivejogood morning ladies and gents10:36
lordievadero/10:38
yofelRiddell: your tension is not resolved I guess, and I doubt it ever will if you keep holding a grudge against the CC. 11:08
yofelallee: well, lets say we decided to regularly talk to each other so this doesn't happen again in the first place. How well that will turn our has to be seen11:09
yofel*turn out11:09
RiddellI'll keep doing that while they support claims that go against ubuntu policy and upstream licences11:09
yofelI still don't get how you expect them to say that it's against the policy if even the SFLC cannot easily say that.11:10
yofelSure, the issue isn't resolved, but I think we managed to get to a point where both councils are not throwing insults at each other anymore11:11
yofelhence "tension resolved"11:11
lordievaderNot throwing insults at each other is good.11:11
yofelso lets get back to a CoC compliant way of working together and improve things11:12
BluesKajHiyas all11:13
Riddellyofel: the ubuntu policy is that packages in main "Must allow modification and distribution of modified copies under the same licence." canonical and the canonical staff on the UCC are claiming that binaries can not be freely copied11:23
Riddellthe SFLC only cared about the copyright licence which is different from the ubuntu policy11:24
yofelthat's another great sentence that says nothing in reality. If the license itself isn't explicit about the modification rights, then you still "only" have the rights implied by the license, plus additional conditions if the license allows that. 11:37
yofelso if you want I can quote rohan for the Xth time that this is rather unclear when it comes to permissive licenses.11:37
Riddellall licences in ubuntu are clear that they allow modification and distribution of modified copies under the same licence, else they would not get into ubuntu11:39
Riddellno additional restrictions are put onto them11:39
Riddelland to do so would be against that ubuntu policy11:40
yofelokay, I didn't read far enough..11:43
yofelit does say below "You, the user, must be able to pass on any software you have received from Ubuntu in either source code or compiled form."11:43
clivejoyofel: how do I include the kernel dev packages in a control file?12:14
yofelclivejo: er, what exactly are you trying to do?12:14
clivejopackage ktoshiba12:14
clivejoneeds kernel developer packages12:14
clivejofor TOSHIBA_ACPI_SCI12:15
yofelokay, so that's a kernel module?12:15
TJ-clivejo: for building the package? build-depends linux-headers-$FLAVOUR12:15
TJ-clivejo: if it's a DKMS module, a regular depends instead12:16
clivejoI believe so, requires Kernel 4.3+12:16
TJ-Oh, actually, for DKMS it just needs to depend on dkms itself12:17
clivejohow do I specify which kernel version12:21
clivejoIve tried just using linux-headers12:21
TJ-clivejo: it shouldn't be tied to a particular version, but maybe a >= is suitable12:30
TJ-Are you making a DKMS package? That's the way to deal with out-of-tree kernel modules12:30
clivejoTJ-: I dont know12:31
clivejojust messing about, trying to package this http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KToshiba?content=1862112:31
sitterKToshiba from SVN :O12:32
clivejositter: ??12:32
clivejoI have a Toshiba laptop and spotted it on the RSS feed and thought Id have a go12:33
TJ-That looks like a GUI/userspace application. Does it include a kernel module too? If so, the kernel module should be be separated into a <package>-dkms package12:33
clivejoTJ-: no idea :/12:33
sitterTJ-: it's not a module, apparently it just needs a new enough kernel due to ioctl request id helper TOSHIBA_ACPI_SCI12:34
sitterhttps://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/toshiba.h only introduced jul 2412:34
clivejoerror: ‘TOSHIBA_ACPI_DEVICE’ was not declared in this scope12:34
clivejo     m_file.setFileName(TOSHIBA_ACPI_DEVICE);12:34
clivejogets to 10%12:34
sitteryeah, I am not sure we hav ea new enough kernel in wily TBH12:35
yofelwe don't12:35
TJ-sitter: clivejo then there's no need to specify a package dependency on a kernel version, maybe add code to check for the IOCTL at run-time and report if the kernel doesn't support it12:35
clivejoah that would be the problem then!12:35
TJ-clivejo: alternatively, do the IOCTL check in the postinst - but that doesn't help where a system has multiple kernel versions available. Run-time check is best12:36
clivejoThe System Settings module now requires toshiba_acpi driver version 0.23, which is included in kernel 4.3, if you don't want to upgrade your kernel, see the file README.toshiba_acpi12:36
sitterclivejo isn't the author12:36
sitterneither am I12:36
TJ-It doesn't take much to add a patch to check for the IOCTL12:36
clivejoIm running 4.2.0-17-generic12:36
sitterit does take author approval12:36
sitterand seeing as the author hasn't made it optional I doubt we'd get that12:36
TJ-The patch can be applied in the packaging12:37
sitterwe do not apply patches that aren't approved12:37
sgclarkmorning12:37
sittersgclark: おはようございますo/12:38
TJ-sitter: why is that?12:42
clivejoI might install Kernel 4.312:44
clivejoanyone else using it?12:44
TJ-clivejo: Yes12:45
clivejoany issues?12:46
TJ-clivejo: There always are - its software!12:46
clivejono 64bit for 4.3RC ?12:48
TJ-clivejo: Yes, of course there is12:52
yofelclivejo: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/13:00
yofeluse with caution13:00
TJ-clivejo: Oh, if you mean the Ubuntu mainline builds - there's a bug in the build scripts causing failures for the amd64 builds13:17
TJ-Apparently apw has fixed that in the last 24 hours and amd64 builds should start to appear shortly13:23
pursuivantmuon (master) v5.4.2-140-g0a71afd * Aleix Pol: libmuon/backends/DummyBackend/tests (3 files)13:37
pursuivantFix tests13:37
pursuivantThey weren't adapted to delayed run of the dummy backend.13:37
pursuivanthttp://commits.kde.org/muon/0a71afdc539cdcc34a7f95f43657f53edf7b641213:37
yofelTJ-: how come there is an amd64 build for rc7 if those are broken o.O?13:38
yofelor do you mean they're unfunctional?13:38
TJ-yofel: For the past week the amd64 builds were failing due to a ZFS issue; apw fixed the build scripts  so builds are now happening. versions such as v4.2.4-unstable still don't have amd64 kernel builds13:41
yofelah ok13:41

geniiOdd behaviour on 15.04, windows open by default on secondary display ( previously the primary ) until after automatic update check finishes, then they open on the primary as would be the expected behaviour. Seems like system settings for primary/secondary are not applied until after update check is finished15:47
mck182can I make the oom_killer more effective?16:03
mck182currently it's really useless16:03
mck182it goes swapping for 10 minutes and most of the times does not recover ever16:03
kfunkmck182: swapoff -a :)16:19
mck182kfunk: but I have no swap :(16:19
kfunkthen it can't swap16:19
mck182well I assume that's what kswapd does16:20
mck182when the laptop gets into the oom state, you can see kswapd taking most of the cpu..I dunno what it's doing16:20
mck182all I would like to have is the oom_killer going "oh, we are about to run out of memory here, let me just kill something so you system does not become unusable for the next 15 minutes"16:21
mck182I did set some oom_killer setting16:21
kfunknever seen that16:21
kfunkoom_killer "does its job" here16:22
mck182I have /always/ seen that on all my machines...sigh16:22
mck182I have ~50 chromium tabs opened, kdevelop and typing make -j4 brings it down16:22
mck182always.16:22
kfunkbad RAM / bad kernel? try googling a bit. I'm sure the behavior of your machine is untypical16:22
mck182I had this consistenly on 3 different machines tho16:22
mck182so I assumed it's a general problem16:22
mck182it also brings down a powerful machine with 16gb ram and an ssd disk16:23
yofelFWIW, I've seen the same thing here. Memory gets like 95% full, but instead of swapping kswapd goes mental and locks the system up (no idea what it does as the system is frozen)16:31
yofelI tried playing with memory pressure settings and stuff, but didn't really help16:31
yofelwith recent kernels it's a bit better..16:31
mck182there is this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/398236/oom-killer-not-working16:33
mck182it does help a bit16:33
mck182but not in all cases16:33

marco-parilloThanks to yofel and team: My kinfocenter reports Kubuntu 16.0417:56
santa_yofel: did you have time to test the things we have so far in automation-ng?18:46
alvinIs it me, or is bugs.kde.org extremely slow? I have been loading https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316153 for the past 7 minutes and it's not yet there.18:55
ubottuKDE bug 316153 in general "can't move or delete messages in imap inbox" [Grave,Confirmed]18:55
alvinWhile this bot gets it immediately....18:55
marco-parilloIt is you (unless you have very high standards).18:57
alvinStill loading. Wel, it depends. It's a 240Mbit connection. Can't have all sites at that speed, but this is ridiculous18:57
marco-parilloBetween the time you asked, I hit BKO for the first time ever on this VM, Logged In, and returned a list of all the bugs I follow before I replied to you.18:59
alvinWhoa. Well, I can do that on Launchpad, but not on bugs.kde.org. Still not loaded. I can see some of the text, but no layout yet19:00
marco-parilloOf course, I am the last person left using rekonq, so maybe it is your browser ;-)19:01
alvinI'm starting to think it's IPv6 that's the problem. Not sure though19:02
alvinConfirmed. It certainly IS IPv6.19:05
clivejoyofel santa_ : "Kubuntu'ers, can you help merging these to your kubuntu_unstable branch so I can use it for the Plasma Phone?" on the mailing list, what needs merging and can I help?19:07
alvinok. Voted. My wife is a bit annoyed. She can no longer erase her mail. Neither can I, but I'm using webmail to erase them. Kmail in Kubuntu 15.10 can no longer do this. When will there be a new version?19:07
alvinI'm starting to think that this isn't the bug that was originally reported. People added comments about 'since Kubuntu 15.10 at the end, but it was reported in 2013 and I can also only confirm on 2 Kubuntu 15.10 machines'19:10
santa_clivejo: I would leave that one for more experienced people19:12
clivejosanta_: no problem19:12
* clivejo goes back to fixing the inverter19:13
yofelsanta_: not yet, was busy with other things19:14
santa_ok19:14
mhall119hi everyone, I'm still looking for someone who can show off and talk about Plasma Mobile at Ubuntu Online Summit next week, can someone here help me out?20:09
soeemhall119: isn't #plasma channel better place to ask ? :)20:14
mhall119soee: might be, given that the device images are based on Ubuntu touch/Kubuntu I was hoping to get someone from here20:17
mhall119ok, mobile aside, does anybody want to run Kubuntu related sessions?20:21
mhall119they can be presentations, demos, orplanning sessions20:21
yofelmhall119: a planning session would be good, where does one ask for sessions?20:22
yofelahoneybun: do you plan something for the documentation?20:23
sgclarkyeah we could use some planning 20:23
mhall119yofel: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/propose_meeting/20:23
yofelthanks20:23
mhall119yofel: the "convergence" track has kind of consumed mobile and desktop topics20:24
* sgclark goes back to her backports20:24
* mhall119 wants to find a better track name for next UOS20:24
yofelmhall119: "consumed"?20:24
mhall119yofel: there used to be a dedicated "Desktop" track20:24
yofelaah20:24
mhall119but last UOS and this one, rather than having a separate "Mobile" track, we combined it with desktop and changed the name20:25
yofelok, thanks. Then I know what to select there :)20:25
yofelmhall119: do I need to add something for those URLs? I thought the Pad is auto-generated for a session?20:26
yofelI should at least make a wiki page though..20:27
mhall119you don't need to, but they're there if you want them20:27
yofelok20:28
mhall119pad is auto-generated based on the title, yeah, but can be overwritten20:28
mhall119wiki is mostly a leftover from the UDS days and before Blueprints had useful whiteboards and work item tracking20:28
mhall119I'm not sure anybody uses it anymore20:28
yofelokay20:30
yofelmhall119: where does that participant list come from?20:31
mhall119yofel: people who have registered as attending the UOS20:33
mhall119via http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/registration/20:34
yofelaaaah, I should probably do that ^^20:34
ahoneybunyofel: mhall119 it would maybe be a showcase with Sphinx?20:34
mhall119ahoneybun: ??20:36
ahoneybunmhall119: documentation tool20:36
mhall119ahoneybun: I know what sphinx is, I'm just not sure what the context of your question was20:36
* mhall119 feels like he's missing have a conversation20:37
ahoneybunshowcase of what can be done with sphinx maybe20:37
* ahoneybun has to finish his blog post and his talk...20:37
mhall119ahoneybun: are you proposing a session?20:37
mhall119for UOS or UbuCon?20:37
ahoneybunboth?20:38
* mhall119 won't say 'no' to that :)20:38
* ahoneybun keeps pushing "Update" on his N4 for working mouse pointer20:39
mhall119yofel: if you have a particular day and time you'd like your session let me know20:39
mhall119ahoneybun: do you have a mouse connected?20:39
ahoneybunI've had one but with no pointer20:39
ahoneybunthe new rc-proposed image should fix that20:39
yofelmhall119: is the scheduling automatic? I won't be able to participate on thursday, so it would be nice if it would get scheduled on 3./4.20:40
mhall119yofel: no, it's all manual now, so myself or cimi from the desktop team can do it20:40
mhall119yofel: would earlier (for Europe) or later (for west-coast US) be better?20:41
yofellater would be better I believe20:41
* ahoneybun votes for later20:42
mhall1191900 UTC on the 3rd is available, or we have 1800 or 1900 on the 4th20:43
yofelthen lets take 1900 on the 3rd20:43
ahoneybun1900 UTC20:44
ahoneybun?20:44
yofelyep20:44
mhall119yofel: you got it :)20:45
yofelmhall119: thanks!20:45
yofelI'll tell the others on the ML and come back to you if it doesn't work out. But at least we have a date to plan for now, so thanks for the UOS reminder.20:46
mhall119FYI, there's a session on Qt in 16.04 immediately before that, at 1800 UTC, so that would probably lead nicely into yours20:46
ahoneybunthat works 3pm in my TM20:46
ahoneybunTZ20:46
ahoneybuncrap20:47
ahoneybunnm20:47
ahoneybunPodcast is on the 4th20:47
yofelwasn't that supposed to be on the 7th?20:47
ahoneybunit is on the first weds of the month20:47
ahoneybunwhich is the 4th20:47
yofelhmkay, well, this way you'll at least be able to tell the public something :)20:48
sgclarkerr that is 11am for me, how can it be 3 for you ahoneybun? it is 2 I think..20:51
ahoneybun1900 uTC?20:51
sgclarkI guess I need to register20:51
sgclarkaye20:51
ahoneybungoogle says 3pm20:51
sgclarksays 11 for me! hmm20:51
mhall119ahoneybun: sgclark: we have a DST change this coming weekend, remember20:54
sgclarkblech20:55
sgclarkok20:55
sgclarkI lived in Az for too long, still can't get used to that20:55
mhall119so 1900 UTC today is going to be different than 1900 UTC next week :)20:55
mhall119fun times20:55
sgclarkhahahah20:55
mhall119DST is by far one of humanities worse ideas20:55
sgclarkwell I registered, likely ffor the wrong time20:55
* yofel didn't know that the DST switch days differed around the world...20:56
yofelwe already did the switch here20:56
sgclarkumm how do I become an attendent?20:57
BluesKajGeorge Bush  switched it to the weekend after Hallowe'en in the US..most sensible thing he ever did as president :-)20:58
sgclarknm I am blind20:58
BluesKajok, got 16.04 working from the daily ...seems ok so far 20:59
BluesKajanyway that's it for today ...later21:00

santa_aaaaahhhhhhh21:01
sgclark?!21:01
santa_I can't log into wiki.ubuntu.org21:01
santa_darn21:01
santa_* .com21:02
yofeluh, try it like a dozen times. If you're lucky it'll work eventually21:02
santa_so it hangs for you too?21:03
santa_I never logged in before, but I have the ubuntu one account21:03
santa_which works for launchpad, but not for the wiki right now21:03
yofelI try to never log out, but yeah, I usually get the same hangs from the wiki21:03
yofelone of the reasons why we use the kde wiki for most of our stuff21:04
santa_:O it seems it logged in now21:05
santa_I left the browser like 30 min ago doing the thing21:05
mhall119I've been involved in Ubuntu for like 8 years now, and the wiki has always been like that21:37
yofelin some sense that's also a way of spam protection... 21:56
valorielol, what an upside, yofel22:31
