acheron88clivejo: muon. just done a quick build reverting https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=muon.git&a=commit&h=a437d39e43112a3e61ebafadd4e3a06b9bd9143709:39
acheron88seem to be much better09:39
acheron88had not the noticed that the other day. frazzled brain I think09:41
clivejoacheron88: does reverting that commit solve the crashing issue?11:20
acheron88clivejo: seems to. not sure if it adversely affects/breaks any other feature, but a brief test doesn't show anything too obvious11:25
acheron88can install, check for updates, install etc OK without crash when reverted11:27
acheron88may reintroduce the bug it was a fix for? although seems a more minor issue11:35
* sick_rimmit waves and smiles11:37
sick_rimmitHello friends11:37
soeeo/11:37
BluesKajHiyas all11:38
sick_rimmitI have been very pleased with the Telegram integration, it has helped me stay more in touch with what is happening here11:38
soeehiho BluesKaj11:38
sick_rimmito/11:38
BluesKajhey soee, sick_rimmit11:38
sick_rimmitGoing to install Beta 2 on a spare partition shortly so I can do some testing11:39
clivejohi rick11:40
clivejodo you have commit access to muon?11:40
clivejoacheron88 thinks its this commit is causing it to crash - https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=muon.git&a=commitdiff&h=a437d39e43112a3e61ebafadd4e3a06b9bd9143711:40
sick_rimmitI don't believe so, I am supposed to doing maintenance on the Muon Package Manager11:41
sick_rimmitNot Software Centre11:41
clivejothe software centre is called plasma-discover now?11:41
sick_rimmitOK cool, there so many names for stuff, I just get them mixed up, it's a short term memory thing with me11:42
acheron88yes, reverting that commit fixes the crashes11:42
clivejoacheron88: Ill revert and package it :)11:43
sick_rimmitI might even do some work on it, once I can get it to actually build 11:43
acheron88obviously undoes the work to fix the bug it was to fix11:43
sick_rimmitlol I am a bit rubbish :-)11:43
acheron88clivejo: could be a minor change to that commit could fix both probs (original bug and new crash), but I'm not familiar enough with the backends there to do more than semi-random guessing11:45
mparillosick_rimmit: When you install, could you report if you took the Beta-2 image, or just grabbed the daily ISO, and about this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/156105111:46

clivejoyeah probably, im not even sure what that is trying to do11:53
clivejois there any way to contact the person who commited that?  might be just a mistake11:55

snelesick_rimmit: thank you for working on muon package manager. I really miss it in 16.0412:00
clivejoIm gonna try upgrading my system with it12:00
clivejosnele: wanna test it?12:01
sneleclivejo: sure but how to reproduce the crash? here discover is not crashing :)12:01
clivejodiscover is now a separate product12:02
clivejothis is muon package manager12:02
sneleclivejo: I cannot install muon on xenial12:02
clivejowell thanks to acheron88, it looks like the crash is caused by a commit made on the 3 march12:03
sneleclivejo: muon : Depends: libmuon (= 4:5.4.3-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed12:03
clivejosnele: are you 386 or amd64?12:03

acheron88http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.bugs/163633512:08
acheron88^^^ not related to this bug12:08
clivejohe seems to have made contributions to it before12:08
sneleclivejo: thank you for the muon package. it installs and works :) bye bye synaptic 12:08
sneleclivejo: how to reproduce the crash? 12:09
acheron88yes, the commit was approved here: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127107/12:09
clivejosnele: the crash seems to be fixed by reverting a commit to the source code12:09
clivejobut it probably reopened another bug somewhere else that the dev was trying to fix12:10
sneleclivejo: your package works fine12:10
clivejoon first use, maybe12:10
acheron88just about to try. got sidetracked finding that email12:10
clivejonot convinced yet!12:10
sneleclivejo: will it be available in main repo? muon that is. i really miss it and i hate synaptic12:11
clivejosnele: its non-maintained upstream12:11
clivejoso unless someone steps in to maintain it and keep it updated, it will probably die off :(12:12
clivejobut I think its worth getting in contact with Carlo Vanini12:12
clivejohe seems to have an indepth knowledge of its workings12:13
snelesick_rimmit: please maintain it :)12:13
acheron88clivejo: you should prob email him, as you can more easily action/build/put something in a ppa if he sorts it 12:14
clivejomaybe Rick should?12:15
clivejook, I sent a message to him12:28
clivejowell upgrade went fine :)12:34
sick_rimmitsnele: I will try :-)12:48
snelesick_rimmit: thank you :) it needs official maintainer to be included in 16.04 repo12:50
sick_rimmitOh, well I don't mind being the official maintainer, I might not actually be able to get it to build..12:50
sick_rimmitBut lets not let a small thing like that get in the way12:51
sick_rimmitlol12:51
telegram<Clifford>: It builds fine :p13:35
BluesKajclivejo, just curious, why are you guys using telegram ?13:38
ricktimmisHi folks, here we go Kubuntu beta2 installed on the metal of my laptop13:44
telegram<Clifford>: Cause I'm not at my computer at the moment13:44
ricktimmisAll went smoothly accept for 2 things13:44
telegram<Clifford>: It allows me to see what's going on while I'm on the go13:45
ricktimmisThe Install icon on the desktop from the live boot, was very small, you could not see that it said Kubuntu Installer.13:45
telegram<athoneycutt>: Yea same here13:45
ricktimmisThis would not be good for new people.13:45
ricktimmisWhen I went to restart the machine just hung, Black screen with Mouse pointer..13:46
ricktimmisIt sat there forever, and would not let me Alt+F to jump to another tty13:46
ricktimmisIn the end I had to power cycle it..13:46
ricktimmisanyone else get that ?13:47
BluesKajthere are mobile irc clients 13:47
BluesKajAndchat for one., if you have an android phone13:48
sgclarkBluesKaj: using both allows us to traget a larger group of users. Not everyone likes irc13:48
telegram<Clifford>: They aren't very nice to use13:48
sgclarktarget*13:48
ricktimmisYes, I am really delighted with the Telegram integrations, lets me stay intouch here all the time13:49
telegram<Clifford>: Telegram is easy to use and works good on intermittent mobile networks13:49
BluesKajclivejo, yeah, but I thought your generation was skilled at typing on those dinky screens :-)13:49
telegram<Clifford>: Irc can't seem to keep a connection13:50
telegram<Clifford>: It also buffers/caches the conversation13:52
BluesKajI tried Andchat , it seemed to work ok, but that was with a wifi connection, I don't do data on my phone.13:53
telegram<Clifford>: I've used irc clients but no good13:53
sgclarktelegram all started one akademy when irc port was blocked, and it stuck13:54
sgclarkit is great for shoddy internet13:54
telegram<Clifford>: My connection jumps from cell to cell. Also use cell in two different countries13:54
sgclarkwe can use both, seems to me its is working13:55
BluesKajclivejo, i don't like typing on a phone, the virtual KB is waaay too small for these fingers13:55
telegram<Clifford>: I don't like typing on it either. Much prefer my keyboard. But its handy. I can join in the conversation13:56
telegram<Clifford>: Plus can share media with other people on telegram13:57
telegram<Clifford>: Screen shots etc13:57
sgclarkmost importantly .. stickers!!!13:58
telegram<Clifford>: And turkey heads!13:59
telegram<Clifford>: Telegram has a desktop client too13:59
clivejoacheron88: ping15:51
acheron88yep15:52
clivejogot a reply from the dev15:52
clivejohttps://quickgit.kde.org/?p=libqapt.git15:53
clivejohe added the signals in this commit15:53
clivejothe two are supposed to work together15:54
acheron88hmmm... I thought I looked at that the other day and saw no update15:54
acheron88you think of getting that into a ppa so people can have fixed muon then?15:56
acheron88thinking15:56
clivejonot sure15:56
clivejodo you think people would want it?15:57
acheron88I'm ambivalent, as I use synaptic and command line to manage packages mostly15:59
clivejoI use command line 15:59
acheron88some people might though. some people on this channel have said they would like it, but that's not quite typical userbase16:00
clivejo!info libqapt xenial16:00
ubottuPackage libqapt does not exist in xenial16:00
acheron88ahhh. lookign at FF history, I checked debian upstream version of libQApt, as I assumed it was theirs to maintain rather than on the KDE git16:01
clivejo!info libqapt-dev xenial16:01

acheron88didn't think it would be on kde git16:02
clivejoacheron88: do you still have the newer version?16:09
clivejowonder if lastest git snapshot of qapt would fix it16:12
clivejohttps://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ci/+archive/ubuntu/unstable/+build/935360916:12
acheron88nice one. was just about to build that!16:13
acheron88this is your ppa package before reverting, yes? https://launchpad.net/~clivejo/+archive/ubuntu/xenial/+build/939671316:17
soeea lot of people wanted muon in xenial :)16:17
clivejoyeah, I deleted the latest one from my PPA16:17
soeementioned here on #kubuntu channel or G+ community16:17
clivejofrom the dev "I'm working on Muon just since the split from Discover, and it's nice to see there is interest in it! I'm also trying to make up my mind whether I should take the effort of16:18
clivejoporting it to a declarative (i.e. QML) interface or not. Maybe you can give advice on that decision."16:18
soeei think Discover will be like SOftwere Center in Ubuntu - nobody uses it :)16:18
soeepeople prefere to use muon/synaptic16:19
clivejoId like to reply back and tell him the Kubuntu community would behind it.16:19
clivejowould be16:19
acheron88Discover is hideous. 16:21
telegram<Valoriez>: Amen Clive! /me goes off to vote16:22
acheron88clivejo: KCI qApt packages and your deb seems to not crash so far16:22
clivejoacheron88: yeah, but if I packaged qapt git and the latest git or Muon I think would be a better solution 16:23
clivejoand if I could get that into Xenial, might encourage the dev to keep working on Muon16:23
clivejovalorie: your thoughts?16:24
acheron88yes, don't disagree. was just lazily testing with the KCI packages to save building qapt myself16:24
clivejodoes using the KCI unstable branch of qapt crash Muon?16:25
acheron88have checked for updates twice and installed 2 packages, separately, and no crash so far at least16:26
clivejoI wonder if uninstallable libmuon is room enough to open a FFE?16:26
telegram<athoneycutt>: @Sick_Rimmit you around?16:37
sneleclivejo: I think you (kubuntu guys) shoud at least make muon available in ppa for xenial16:42
sneleif it wont be available in repo16:42

valorieclivejo: my thoughts -- I want muon, absolutely20:29
valoriesynaptic sucks by comparison (as does Discover, IMO)20:29
clivejodo you think we could get it into Xenial?20:29
snelediscover is great *applications* manager. But for me it has no use. i need "package" manager when i don't want/cannot use apt20:32
sneleclivejo: muon from your ppa works great. no crashes. thank you again for packaging it20:34
snelesynaptic just sucks compared to muon imho20:35
valorieclivejo: I would consult with yofel by email perhaps20:53
clivejohes offline for a few days20:53
clivejoprobably mid week20:54

acheron88so presume soee must have that22:39

clivejoI added a dep on libqapt3-runtime (>= 3.0.1+git20160315) to muon22:40
clivejoI thought that would auto upgrade libqapt322:41
acheron88odd, if it wan't just missed off the bottom of soee's paste22:41
acheron88will try on laptop to add the ppa, as that is xenial as well22:43
acheron88all upgraded, and muon installed, and not crashing on laptop as well22:53
