claydohok, ray burke is back on the mailing list, and as usual  does not remember things he's been told about many times in the past, email-wise06:10
claydohso anyone offering aid please take that into considersation. He needs specific,  step-by-step hand-holding06:11
claydohMamarok: :  and valorie I've already responded to his usual email-all-the-addresses-possible off-list, and bcc'd you both06:13
valoriethank you claydoh06:14
valorieperhaps he's senile or so?06:14
claydohperhaps, it has been tis way for years06:14
claydohmany years06:14
valorieI admin quite a few genealogy lists, and am used to clueless old windows users06:15
claydohhe can't follow an email thread, which of course with multiple people assistng confuses him06:15
valoriemany of them I just moderate full-time, and only allow the few on-topic posts06:16
valoriedoes he do better on a forum, claydoh?06:17
claydohhe would, but I  have not been ablle to get him to go there, or he has been, but is quite easily confused06:17
valoriepoor old thing06:18
valoriebut tiresome to the helpful folks06:18
claydohunlike steve vollum, who is an elderly gentleman who may be in a home, but has done sooo much better there06:18
valoriewell, everyone ages differently06:20
valoriemy mother had alzheimers, and grew paranoid06:21
valoriemy dad is very senile, and just seems peaceful06:21
valoriehardly speaks anymore, and is now forgetting how to swallow06:21
soeehiho07:12
asequesHello, after upgrading to kubuntu willy backports I have to different audio mixers08:02
asequesI've both kmix, and sound volume08:03
asequesWhich one is the default with current releases?08:03
aseques'sound volume has a nice osd display, but not sure if it's kde's default08:05
valorieyes, you can remove the one you don't want08:07
valorieunfortunately, both have features the other one doesn't08:07
valoriestill08:07
soeevalorie: but plamsa-pa is developed so i suggest using it09:01
soeein Plasma 5.6 it will also have option to controll various sound sources like kmix09:02
soeeso it will be pretty the same (without widow with shortcuts to some caonfigurations etc. but this can be done through System Settings -> Multimedia anyway)09:03

valoriesoee: right now I just leave them both09:05
soee;o09:07
soee:)09:08
soeevalorie: can you test 5.5.4 ? are you on Xenial ?09:08
soeei would liek to have 10 people that will test stuff before release :}09:09
valorieis it the ppa landing you want tested?09:15
valorieand yes, I can09:15
soeevalorie: staging-plasma09:16
soeeit has been tested already by 4 people09:16
valorieif you want more testers, call for them09:19

yofelmoin09:21
yofelsoee: while it's in staging please use WIP, once it's in landing use LANDING09:21
yofeland please don't do public tester calls for staging09:21
valoriehmm, so what should I do?09:22
valorieit's my travel laptop, so I'm ok with testing with it09:22
valoriethat's what I use it for when I"m not traveling09:22
yofelI'll copy it to landing09:23
yofelnot sure why clive didn't do that, I did tell him to copy it09:23
valorieok09:23
yofelcopied, you'll get it once the publisher is done09:26
yofelnow to fix the topic again09:26
valoriethank you yofel09:29

soeeyofel: ok. i thought people here can test it as they know what they are doing :) 09:45
valorieok, my xenial updates are about done, so I just add back the ppa-landing? 09:47
yofelsoee: well, as long as it's here, ~ok. I just don't like people using staging directly because I don't intend to tell anyone when I upload something there that might make a mess09:47
valoriewhat I mean is, is the move done09:47
yofeland landing is what's supposed to be used for testing09:47
soeeyofel: right :)09:47
soeeso atm. we have only apps 15.12.1 not done09:49
soeeand what about 5.5.4 backport - are we doing it ?09:49
yofelsure09:49
valorieadded, now updating09:55
Mirvnow Qt 5.6 is moved to March10:09
yofel*sigh*10:09
Mirvindeed10:09
sneleand they don't want to do one more qt 5.5 bugfix release... 10:14
soeeMirv: where i can see some announcement ?10:14
snelesoee: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5.6-release10:15
sneleyofel: is it possible to have patches from qt 5.6 backported to ubuntu's qt 5.5? for example for missing icons in systray at boot 10:17
soeebut no info why it is postponed ?10:18
Mirvsoee: the wiki page indeed, I suspect there was a release meeting earlier this week but the notes from it haven't been posted10:20
yofelsnele: we can certainly look at them10:20
Mirvsnele: sure, there are _lots_ of backported patches from Qt 5.6 already in qtbase and qtdeclarative10:21
Mirvsoee: remaining bugs. Qt is a bit notorious with late releases.. the 5.6 was postponed from October to December already in the planning phase to have a "realistic" goal of releasing it in December. and then 5.7 was supposed to happen in April.10:22
Mirvor maybe it's also that all projects seem notorious with late releases when compared to Ubuntu :)10:22
soeewell but in teh end better to have stable release than early buggy product10:22
Mirvyeah, good release planning would help though. somehow it gets too unstable during their development cycle, even though they have lots of CI.10:23
soeethe biggest minus here is taht 5.6 probably wont make it into 16.0410:23
Mirvof course Qt is a huge project too, abstraction of everything on every platform is not the easiest job10:24
soeetrue10:24
soeemaybe better way would be to add less features but make releases faster10:25
soeethis way people can test what was released and report issues and than quicker fixes would be released10:26
valoriesoee: my xenial upgrade was totally smooth and wonderful10:41
soeevalorie: COOL, THANK YOU10:49
soeesorry for UC10:49
mparilloPlasma 5.5.4 is in ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa-landing ?11:17
mparilloFor Xenial?11:18
soeemparillo: yes11:19
mparilloIt looks as if some apps were upgraded also. Including kate, and Muon Update Manager.11:22
mparilloDownloading now.11:23
clivejoyofel: I wanted to test it myself before copying11:35
clivejothen I got tired and went to bed!11:36
yofelah ok, very reasonable decision :)11:36
yofelsorry for storming in11:37
clivejoseems to be stable though11:37
clivejodont be sorry, you didnt know!11:37
clivejonot a mind reader11:37
clivejowell I hope not :P11:38
clivejoyou might interfer with my plans for galactic domination11:38
mparilloUpdates completed. Time to re-boot.11:39
clivejomy death star will be powered by Mycroft and Kubuntu11:42
mparilloKinfocenter reports Plasma 5.5.4. No immediate obvious breakage in krunner, konsole, konversation either. Well done clivejo and yofel.11:44
mparilloPlus this time, after applying updates, my kicker (which also seems to work after the re-boot) I was able to use it for the shutdown, without a sudo poweroff.11:45
clivejoyofel: has there been a call for testing?11:45
mparilloAssumming it is not worthy of a kubuntu.org news post, I would be happy to put it on the wire.11:45
yofelnot yet11:45
mparilloWhen you are feeling comfortable.11:46
yofelthe news post comes with the backports11:46
clivejoI think thats over 10 people now11:46
yofeland the shutdown issue only happens for major version updates, not bugfixes11:46
yofelwhich is annoying enough11:46
BluesKajHiyas all12:13
clivejohi BluesKaj12:15
BluesKajHi clivejo12:15
clivejomind testing plasma 5.5.4?12:15
clivejoon xenial12:15
BluesKajclivejo, ok 12:16
clivejoits in the landing PPA12:16
BluesKajI had to roll back to 5.4.3 due to a kserver error 2 days ago12:18
clivejooh right12:19
clivejonever mind12:19
BluesKajso I had to ppa-purge the ci/stable and landing ppas12:19
BluesKajclivejo, is that server error fixed, if so I'd be willing to try the landing ppa again12:21
acher88BluesKaj: not had that here at any stage testing the ppas12:28
clivejoBluesKaj: probably cause you used the KCI PPA's?12:39
clivejoKCI will have breakages12:39
soeeclivejo: ping12:43
BluesKajacher88, yeah I noticed the error was hone after purging the ci ppa, but got spooked and purged the landing as well12:45
BluesKajgone12:45
BluesKajok, got plasma 5.5.4 13:08
mparilloFor some reason (maybe 5.5.4), now krunner autocompletes Okular again, and dolphin opens PDFs using Okular. Big improvement over yesterday.13:12
sgclarkmorning13:45
soeehiho :)13:45
soeesgclark: do you have time to start 5.5.4 backport ?13:46
sgclarkme? nope, so very behind :( so sorry13:51
clivejohi soee14:02
soeeclivejo: would you be interested in in packaging tomahawk ?14:05
clivejono idea what that is14:05
clivejo!info tomahawk14:06

morphisanyone know who would responsible for a failing build of kwin due to a new libhybris update in xenial?14:08
mgraesslinmorphis: Ubuntu for having a fork of libhybris in the archive14:10
sitterhttp://cdnimg3.webstaurantstore.com/images/products/extra_large/45500/241884.jpg14:10
morphismgraesslin: there is a reason for having a "fork"14:10
morphisbut that is changing14:10
morphisthings are moved out of hybris and its becoming more or less a direct import from upstream, but that will take time14:11
mgraesslinplease note that I don't care about why or why not there is a fork14:11
morphisthat is fine :-)14:11
morphismgraesslin: however kwin is failing to build now: mgraesslin: basically https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-xenial-ci-train-ppa-service-landing-012/xenial/amd64/k/kwin/20160128_122444@/log.gz14:12
mgraesslinshrug14:12
morphisnow sure how you are going to handle this but hybris will become more or less just a dlopen/dlsym wrapper rather than providing any abstracted APIs14:12
soeeclivejo: some days ago tomahawk devs wanted some packager14:14
bshahis it against git master libhybris?14:14
bshahmorphis: ^ (build failure)14:14
clivejowhere is the packaging?14:14
morphisbshah: which git master do you mean? upstream?14:14
clivejohttps://launchpad.net/~tomahawk14:14
clivejoyofel: you own this team?14:14
bshahthat error in kwin, what is libhybris being used?14:15
morphisbshah: https://git.launchpad.net/~libhybris-maintainers/libhybris/+git/libhybris/ is what we're currently going to land14:15
morphisits not in par with upstream yet but very close14:15
morphisbshah: as I already mentioned above you should also expect us to drop the hwcomposer wrapper at all at some point14:17
bshahmorphis: well thing is, for plasma mobile we use https://github.com/libhybris/libhybris directly14:18
bshahwith packaging from : https://github.com/plasma-phone-packaging/libhybris (upstream forked at some point)14:19
morphisbshah: I see14:20
yofelsoee: someone else is already trying to update tomahawk14:22
yofelclivejo: I do, but haven't touched it in months14:22
clivejoStefan Ahlers?14:23
morphisbshah: however then kwin in the archive should have hybris support disabled14:26
bshahmorphis: yes.. it is good idea14:26
bshahhowever I don't have access to things.. :)14:26
mgraesslinmorphis: or maybe Ubuntu renames libhybris in the archive, so that it doesn't get picked up and breaks the build14:26
morphismgraesslin: why should we rename it?14:26
mgraesslinbecause it's a fork14:27
morphismgraesslin: as I said, that is changing14:27
morphismgraesslin: count it on history and pressure but that is how things are14:27
mgraesslinsure, just if one forks and doesn't rename it's causing problems14:28
mgraesslinof course version numbers in libhybris would also help14:28
morphissure, but I can not cleanup everything at once14:29
morphisand version numbers include some kind of API stability which hybris doesn't have yet :-)14:30
morphismgraesslin, bshah: so who can disable the hybris support in kwin in the ubuntu archive?14:56
mgraesslinmorphis: no idea, I'm the upstream maintainer14:56
bshahmorphis: maybe yofel/clivejo/sgclarck can help you there14:57
morphismgraesslin, bshah: ok14:57
* yofel thought that was disabled14:58
yofelchecking14:58
=== xnox is now known as s390x
yofelclivejo: Stefan, right14:59
yofelOH15:00
yofelmgraesslin, bshah, morphis: Ok, looks "libhybrids-dev [armhf]" crawled into the build-deps through the last debian merge15:01
yofelfixing15:01
morphisyofel: awesome!15:01
mgraesslinwell on Debian doesn't make sense either15:01
morphismgraesslin: debian might still have an older hybris version15:02
mgraesslinno, they don't have one at all15:02
bshahthx :)15:02
yofelmaxyz_: ^15:02
morphismgraesslin: ah :-)15:02
mgraesslinwould make my life easier if they had ;-)15:02
yofelok, I read the git log wrong, this seems to be entirely out fault. hybris was simply never *fully* removed15:04
yofelmaxyz_: unping15:04
maxyz_unpong15:23
=== s390x is now known as xnox
soeeand no sound again :<<<17:48
soeeand soud back after reboot17:50
soeei think this has something to do with sddm and failing logins17:50
soeei had sddm greeter in window and no sound, after reboot login was fine (first attempt) and i have sound17:51
soeeguys some comments about backports: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/848483-plasma-5-5-3-kde-frameworks-5-18-backported-to-kubuntu-15-1017:59
soeeyofel: can we somehow get this patch in Xenial just for test https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126923/ ?18:06
sgclarknothing we can really do until we get some ubuntu core devs to push sru's to archive.18:06
soee_sgclark: why they dont give you or yofel access to do it ?18:07
sgclarkwe have to go through the same process as everyone else.18:08
soee_sgclark: what do you think about this patch to test ?18:09
sgclarkwhich I will be working on soon. Time is always an issue, as usual. I need to clone myself.18:09
sgclarksoee_: sorry I have no clue what that is or what it is for. Perhaps yofel does.18:10
soee_sgclark: it should probably fix teh bug i reported  - when the updates notification stays active in systray when there are no any update sleft18:11
BluesKajthat's an old one, been around for ages18:12
soee_BluesKaj: yes but finall we might have fix for it :)18:13
* BluesKaj doesn't bother with active notifiers\, update and upgrade every day anyway18:13
BluesKajsoee_, you hope  :-)18:13
yofelsgclark: that's just a discover patch to fix the forkbombing18:23
yofelsoee_: I'll apply it later, unless clivejo isn't faster18:23
sgclarkok col18:23
sgclarkerr cool18:23
yofelhm, if the sound issue is sddm related, then this might be indeed a logind permission issue somewhere18:26
soee_yofel: thank you18:27
tybautHello19:50
tybautI'm with xenial19:50
tybautWith plasma 5.5.419:50
tybautIt's working fine19:51
tybautI have only one problem. When i want use krunner (alt+F2), when I write the applications name, there isn't autocomplete and I can't launch the application (for ex. konsole) with enter touch19:53
sgclarkhmmm. works for me. anyone else experience this?19:54
soee_also here works fine19:54
soee_tybaut: open krunner settings and check if all options are selected19:54
tybautFor information I have this problem for some days (plasma 5.5.3)19:55
tybautsoee:all options are selected ->  http://humeurlibre.fr/divers/captureKrunner.png19:58
clivejoworking for me too20:04
soee_tybaut: try restarting krunner20:07
mparilloI earlier had a problem with autocomplete in krunner for Okular, but it went away this morning when I upgraded to -staging.20:38
soee_yofel: did you found time to add this patch to notifier ?22:41
tybautsooe: well, same thing after restarting  - http://humeurlibre.fr/divers/krunner_restart.png23:15
tybautI shall do new test tomorrow23:16
