[00:21] <humberto310> yoooo
[00:39] <designbybeck__> Greetings cool kids! I have a new Kubuntu 12.10 install on a random low end system hooked via VGA to a 40" TV. The Ubuntu and LinuxMint Cinnoman install I had would let me change the resolution so that it fit better on the TV, however the Kubuntu display settings don't have a many options and/or the highest setting they have is slightly shifted over to the right and It is chopping off part of the image
[00:39] <designbybeck__> Any ideas??
[00:56] <fyksen> Hey! I'm trying to install Kubuntu in virtualbox on ubuntu 12.10. But I get stuck on "Retrieving file 43 of 105 10%. I have downloaded 2 isos. One from Torrent, one form webserver. Any tips? :)
[00:57] <designbybeck__> not sure on that on fyksen... i've had success doing both ways
[00:57] <designbybeck__> running ubuntu 12.10 on my netbook right now i'm chatting on. and kubuntu 12.10 on my TV display, i'm still setting up
[00:58] <Catbuntu> fyksen, check the md5 sums
[00:58] <fyksen> Catbuntu, I have done it, and it the same : )
[00:58] <Catbuntu> !md5 | fyksen
[00:58] <Catbuntu> Ow
[00:58] <fyksen> designbybeck_, cool :) Hmms, IDK what to do : ) Maybe I'l try to run it on HW
[00:58] <fyksen> Catbuntu, Hehe, I learned about Md5 last week or so :p
[00:59] <Catbuntu> then disable the option of download updates while installing
[00:59] <Catbuntu> and update after the install
[00:59] <designbybeck__> fyksen: can you bun the ISO to a USB and try a live boot off it? maybe it is your VM that is messed up
[01:01] <fyksen> designbybeck_, I don't get the error before after I have formatted the hdd. Don't want to do that..
[01:01] <fyksen> Sorry about my English btw. 2nd. language
[01:03] <Catbuntu> Oh your english is better than some english people's :P
[01:04] <fyksen> Haha, Thanks Catbuntu  :)
[01:10] <fyksen> Ahh sorry guys. Tried booting in to "try kubuntu" now. I don't get any internet on my VM :/
[02:12] <wahyu> help please, i just finished install kubuntu quantal, and i after i set the anti aliasing font, my fonts look ugly now..
[02:13] <wahyu> and i cant find the default-previous font setting
[02:14] <wahyu> the default is ugly, its not the default setting after install (i think..)
[02:15] <wahyu> ah.. nevermind

[07:56] <IndiaMotel> msg /msangapu Thanks for your advice, Ill try a memtest on my ram overnight and see if anything comes up thank-you!
[08:12] <calcmandan> is there a way to install dotnet 2.0 via winetricks on a 64 bit system? it keeps stating that it won't run on a 64bit system.
[09:48] <cancer> hi
[10:31] <cjae> how do I fix full screen flash from showing up on the wrong screen/monitor, using the nouveau driver and the properitary flash
[10:39] <adhominem> hi all
[10:48] <adhominem> kubuntu permanent livecd runs too slowly on my p4 3gh 3gb ram with radeon (nomodeset was required)
[10:48] <adhominem> is it due to permanency or is cuz my system is 2 slow 2 handle kubuntu?
[10:49] <lordievader> adhominem: Have you tried installing it to the harddisk? It has been my experience that a live cd is quite slow. However your system seems to be quite old, this could play a part in this, kde is considered heavy on resources.
[10:50] <adhominem> nope, lordievader
[10:50] <lordievader> adhominem: Worth a shot, I'd say.
[10:50] <adhominem> but 4 ex. gentoo distro runs pretty fine from livedvd usb
[10:51] <adhominem> even with kds
[10:51] <adhominem> kde*
[10:51] <lordievader> adhominem: On the same system?
[10:51] <adhominem> yup
[10:52] <lordievader> adhominem: Hmm, could also be missing drivers. You could see if the jockey can find some drivers.
[10:52] <adhominem> i bet thats the problem, radeon drivers are a pain in the 4$$
[10:52] <adhominem> had to boot with nomodeset due to that
[10:53] <adhominem> in gentoo pressing ctrl+alt+f1 gets me into some weird screen where ascii characters are missing and wrong
[10:54] <adhominem> while pressing ctrlaltf7 gets me back to a normal perfect good looking kde envir.
[10:54] <lordievader> adhominem: Video drivers in general are a pita.
[10:54] <adhominem> ;)
[10:54] <adhominem> agree
[10:54] <lordievader> adhominem: ctrl alt f{1-6} are tty's the rest are xsessions.
[11:00] <adhominem> yup
[11:00] <adhominem> thast why i find weird that even witha full enviroment like kde and terminals on it work fine, tty is messed up :S
[11:03] <lordievader> adhominem: You could ask around in #gentoo if the problem is still relevant.
[11:05] <adhominem> yup im doing
[11:05] <Tm_T> lordievader: adhominem: the resources isn't the issue with that kind of setup
[11:06] <Tm_T> there's more than enough cpu and ram
[11:06] <adhominem> ye, i think whats giving me those weird problems is the gpu
[11:07] <adhominem> i had been reading stuff about compatibility issues on radeon all night
[11:07] <adhominem> on ati, in general, really
[11:07] <Tm_T> adhominem: what happens if you press alt+shift+F12 (that IIRC is the shortcut for switching desktop acceleration on and off)
[11:07] <lordievader> Tm_T: Correct :)
[11:08] <adhominem> in gentoo, the os its currently running, nothing noticeable
[11:08] <adhominem> oh wait you mean on tty?
[11:09] <adhominem> something happened switched from that wicked glitched ascii screen to a full black one
[11:09] <lordievader> adhominem: No he means your kubuntu live setup, the one that is running slowly.
[11:09] <adhominem> with blinking cursors
[11:09] <adhominem> oh 4 that ill need to reboot
[11:09] <adhominem> sec
[11:10] <adhominem> hey on gentoo now a mouse cursor appears on ascii :P :)
[11:10] <adhominem> lil progress but still progress somewhat
[11:10] <adhominem> ok im rewooting
[11:12] <vitimiti> (·_·)/
[11:12] <adhominem> ok right now im on kubuntu 1st boot menu
[11:12] <adhominem> where ill choose persistent mode with nomodeset to avoid crash
[11:12] <adhominem> ill try pers b4 installing on hd ;P
[11:16] <adhominem> kde started
[11:17] <adhominem> alt shift f12 do nothing on 1st sight
[11:18] <adhominem> but when i switch between tty and kde it replaces cool lights effect for black
[11:18] <adhominem> i still get a weird feeling of hmm low performance
[11:19] <adhominem> would it be faster on livecd instead persistent?
[11:19] <lordievader> adhominem: Open the system settings -> desktop effects -> advanced and change the render type to xrender (instead of opengl).
[11:20] <lordievader> Err compositing type.
[11:20] <adhominem> its on xrend already; will try opengl
[11:21] <lordievader> adhominem: Hmm so it uses the cpu already, instead of the gfx card, for the effects...
[11:22] <adhominem> tried on both native and roaster or wathever
[11:22] <adhominem> i still get that weird feeling when moving windows arround
[11:23] <adhominem> would it be faster on livecd?
[11:23] <adhominem> i dont wanna risk the time of a full insta before trying if performance would be ok ;P
[11:24] <lordievader> adhominem: I understand that, does the jockey give you a driver you could install?
[11:25] <adhominem> sec lemme check
[11:27] <adhominem> im trying live mode for performance check
[11:29] <adhominem> jockey is schearching; says no prop drivers are in use
[11:30] <adhominem> ill try a diff approach
[11:30] <adhominem> brb ;>
[11:47] <persia> I just started using kubuntu, and have some questions.  Firstly, is there a terminal emulator like Terminator?  I understand quadkonsole's author switched to terminator, but don't seem to be able to find anything else taking up the banner.
[11:47] <persia> Secondly, every time I try to add a widget to my desktop, my session crashes: is there some way to report this usefully?
[11:48] <persia> And thirdly, I don't seem to be able to get iBus working for Japanese input: is there known-good documentation somewhere?  Searching the web keeps showing ancient bug reports.
[12:03] <lordievader> persia: Konsole is a nice terminal emulator, what is exactly the problem with Ibus? Got it running here myself, works fine with Japanese.
[12:06] <persia> lordievader: Konsole is indeed nice, but I don't like the interaction between screen splits and tabs - perhaps just a personal preference.
[12:07] <persia> Re: iBus: pressing 半角/全角 doesn't switch my input mode with ibus-anthy.  Do I need to so something special for setup beyond installation of ibus-anthy?
[12:08] <lordievader> persia: You could use byobu/screen to take care of the screen splits.
[12:08] <persia> Indeed, or tmux inside konsole.  I'll just leave that for another project :)
[12:09] <lordievader> persia: I'm sorry pressing what? Let me check what packages I have installed here.
[12:10] <persia> hankaku/zenkaku: it's the key usually between "escape" and "tab" on jp106 keyboards.  In practice, I'm really pressing the かな key on a Mac keyboard that sends "Hangul", but that's not an important detail :)
[12:11] <lordievader> persia: Ah I see, anyhow I have the following packages installed: ibus ibus-anthy ibus-qt4 and a few others but I do not think they are necessary.
[12:13] <lordievader> persia: How did you setup ibus?
[12:13] <persia> `apt-get --no-install-recommends install ibus-qt4 ibus-anthy`
[12:14] <lordievader> persia: I mean the settings, not how you installed it :P
[12:14] <persia> I ran ibus-setup, but it won't let me select anthy ("Japanese is greyed-out").
[12:15] <lordievader> persia: I had the same problem, the solution is annoyingly simple, click the arrow next to japanese, it unfolds and select Anthy.
[12:17] <persia> Wow.  That is indeed *annoyingly* simple.  Now I get the A5 icon on my panel.
[12:18] <lordievader> persia: That should mean that japanese input is enabled.
[12:19] <persia> Unfortunately, it seems not to respond to keypresses yet.  I'll try restarting the session, as attempting to restart individual applications to test hasn't been successful.
[12:23] <persia> No, that didn't work either, and re-running ibus-setup reported that ibus hadn't been started in the session.  Playing around a bit got me all input in katakana based on the kana keymapings (dunno why), but not normal anthy.
[12:23] <lordievader> persia: Did you start ibus?
[12:23] <persia> How did you configure it.
[12:23] <persia> Yes.
[12:24] <persia> Although it would likely be better if I wasn't starting it per-session.
[12:25] <lordievader> persia: To start off I use ctl + space to enable it. Under the general tab I believe I didn't change anything, under the input method I got only Japanes - Anthy and "Customize active input methods" is ticked. Under advanced both options are ticked.
[12:26] <persia> Your setup matches mine.  Seems the kana comes from the keyboard layout (switch with Ctrl+Alt+K), and so is unrelated.
[12:27] <persia> Oh, except Ctrl+Space also doesn't switch input :)
[12:27] <lordievader> persia: You said you use an actual Japanese keyboard? That could be the difference I simply use a qwerty keyboard.
[12:29] <persia> The hardware shouldn't make a difference.  In previous environments, I've used both US and JP qwerty and DE qwertz with anthy successfully.
[12:30] <lordievader> persia: I agree that it shouldn't.
[12:30] <persia> If you run `ps ax | grep ibus`, do you get "ibus-daemon --xim" or something else?
[12:32] <lordievader> persia: Among things: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1404519/
[12:33] <persia> That's the same as mine.  Hrm.
[12:33] <lordievader> persia: Also the other processes?
[12:33] <persia> Well, thanks a lot for confirming I should have it right.  I wonder which final bit is missing.
[12:33] <lordievader> persia: But do you also have the other processes running?
[12:34] <lordievader> persia: Because maybe the packages I deemed not important earlier are actually important...
[12:35] <persia> Yes, precisely the same list.
[12:36] <lordievader> persia: Hmm... I'm quite out of ideas here, sorry.
[12:37] <persia> No worries.  Thanks for the help.
[12:38] <lordievader> persia: No problem, hope you figure it out.
[12:52] <shadeslayer> persia: iirc Quintasan was working on input stuff ... so he might know
[12:53] <shadeslayer> as for terminator, there is no alternative afaik .... I just use window grouping with konsole
[12:54] <shadeslayer> and plasma crash, could you install dbg packages and report a bug upstream ?
[12:54] <shadeslayer> and if you're not on 4..9.3 , please upgrade to 4.9.3 :)
[12:55] <shadeslayer> its in quantal-proposed
[12:56] <persia> shadeslayer: So, even if I install the dbg packages, how can I capture useful information for the bug: my experience involves black screens and loss of current working set.
[13:08] <cjae> http://lifehacker.com/5912480/how-to-invert-your-browsers-colors-for-easier-reading-at-night
[13:15] <cjae> anyone hear know how to use krename well and would like to help me
[13:36] <simplew> whats the package that puts printer applet in plasma panel in system tray?
[13:38] <Shaan7> simplew: for me I got that icon just by plugging in my printer
[13:38] <Shaan7> didnt have to do any special setup
[13:38] <simplew> Shaan7: hows that related to what i asked
[13:39] <Shaan7> that ideally that should be already installed
[13:42] <simplew> Shaan7: i still dont get hows that related to what i asked
[13:49] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:58] <cjae> BluesKaj: did you ever answer me yesterday by chance?
[13:59] <cjae> about the version of kde you saw an improvement of kio-slave in?
[14:03] <BluesKaj> cjae, it was on kubuntu 13.04 /KDE 4.9.8 , but i've since dropped testing it for other reasons and wiped the partition
[14:04] <cjae> BluesKaj: thats fine I was just wondering version thanks :-)
[14:05] <BluesKaj> the 3.7 kernel wasn't working and the 3.5 woudn't install the nvidia drivers
[14:06] <BluesKaj> I don't mind testing a new OS version but when it's that broken there's no point
[14:10] <cjae> yeah
[15:45] <Guest34217> hi all
[15:45] <thelionroars> hi
[15:48] <Guest34217> do u know what is the best Antivirus for KDE?
[15:48] <Tm_T> Guest34217: antivirus?
[15:48] <Tm_T> !antivirus | Guest34217
[15:48] <BluesKaj> !antivirus
[15:49] <Guest34217> o ok thx
[15:49] <Guest34217> new to Linux
[15:50] <magespawn> Guest21470: that is whar channels are for.
[15:50] <thelionroars> If you are sharing files with a Windows system, you can use clam AV to check them. But your linux system will always be fine
[16:09] <georges> ? how can I get Folder View plasma for directories to suppress the .desktop file extention like it does for ~/Desktop ? For example I created a Folder VIew for /usr/share/applications but it shows all the icons with [program].desktop
[16:18] <phoenix_firebrd> hello everyone
[16:35] <georges>  how can I get Folder View plasma for directories to suppress the .desktop file extention like it does for ~/Desktop ? For example I created a Folder VIew for /usr/share/applications but it shows all the icons with [program].desktop
[16:45] <RiotingPacifist> where are dbus security settigns defined and what is the recommended way of changing them? , having problems with plasma
[16:48] <georges> from the dbus man :: The standard systemwide and per-session message bus setups are configured in the files "/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.conf" and "/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/session.conf". These files normally <include> a system-local.conf or session-local.conf; you can put local overrides in those files to avoid modifying the primary configuration files.
[16:50] <RiotingPacifist> so there is no gui tool/guide to fix it?
[16:50] <RaphaelBarros> Hey guys, any idea how can I remove a something using muon without removing one specific thing that it says it will remove with the other package?
[16:51] <RaphaelBarros> I'm trying to unninstall the Game Binding of Isaac, but it insists that it needs to remove steam with it (wchi I don't know why, since the game wasn't installed using steam, linux or wine version)
[16:51] <cjae> Cant remember if I asked this here or not. Does anyone have a solution for full screen flash not showing up on the correct screen?
[16:52] <thelionroars> take over Adobe and rewrite the damn code :P
[16:52] <georges> cjae: is it showing up on your primary display?
[16:52] <cjae> georges: yes
[16:53] <georges> thats how it shoudl be, I remember fuxing with it a while ago trying to force it to go to other display but gave up
[16:53] <cjae> I want it to show up the tv instead where I full screened it from the browser
[16:53] <cjae> no that is not right
[16:55] <cjae> It has worked on and off in the past it used to be youtube too but that youtube has worked well for quite some time
[16:57] <cjae> it used to be if you opened the browser on the tv and maxed the window the full screen flash would appear on the monitor, so a workaround was to unmaximize browser then push full screen and it would show on the tv
[16:57] <cjae> but that does not work anymore
[17:18] <radham> hi
[17:20] <cjae> when krusader asks for kdesu can I point it kdesudo ?
[17:27] <georges> cjae: jsut add kdesu to the begining of the command string
[17:31] <georges> either rt-click the shortcut and go to properties or edit the [program].desktop file directly by changing "Exec=/path/to/program program %U" to "Exec=kdesu /path/to...."
[17:38] <lordievader> georges: You mean kdesudo instead of kdesu, kdesu doesn't exist anymore.
[17:38] <thelionroars> ?
[17:38] <thelionroars> kdesu works fine
[17:38] <thelionroars> even if it is just an alias
[17:39] <lordievader> thelionroars: What Vert are you running?
[17:39] <georges> lordievader: I still use kdesu
[17:39] <thelionroars> Vert?
[17:39] <lordievader> err version
[17:39] <thelionroars> 12.10
[17:39] <georges> using it now in 12.10
[17:39] <lordievader> Hmm, odd on my 12.04 installs kdesu doesn't exist. I know it did before...
[17:40] <thelionroars> it worked on 12.04 too
[17:40] <georges> if it dosent exist just add an alias to kdesudo
[17:41] <lordievader> It doesn't matter to me if it exists or not, just thought kdesu didn't exist in general anymore.
[17:41] <thelionroars> think of all those letters you don't have to type anymore
[17:42] <thelionroars> you may save whole minutes of your life
[17:42] <thelionroars> :P
[17:42] <lordievader> thelionroars: I rarely use it anyway, sudo is good enough for me :P
[17:45] <georges> except 'sudo' dosent work for .desktop files
[17:46] <lordievader> georges: It is good practice to use kdesu(do) for all kde graphical applications.
[17:46] <BluesKaj> lordievader, if you're launching a gui app from krunner or the konsole kdesudo is the best practice, otherwise there could be launch problems in the future
[17:46] <lordievader> BluesKaj: That is what I've just said ;)
[17:46] <BluesKaj> oh ?
[17:47] <lordievader> BluesKaj: 18:46 < lordievader> georges: It is good practice to use kdesu(do) for all kde graphical applications.
[17:47] <thelionroars> as in, no graphical applications are used
[17:47] <lordievader> thelionroars: Straight to the point!
[17:48] <georges> at this point i think we are all arguing the same point lol
[17:48] <lordievader> Seems so, yes.
[17:49] <BluesKaj> lordievader, guess i was typing ...didn't see your post before I hit "enter"
[17:51] <georges> short version: use sudo to elevate terminal commands; use kdesu(do) to elevate kde executes
[17:51] <lordievader> georges: Yes, and gksudo is for gnome applications.
[17:52] <georges> lordievader: i omited that since this is #kubuntu
[17:52] <georges> but good info none the less
[17:53] <lordievader> That is why I mentioned it :)
[17:53] <thelionroars> uh, kdesu will still work for gnome applications  though, right?
[17:53] <georges> i actually never knew the gnome one
[17:54] <georges> i think it will if you have KDE installed
[17:54] <georges> even if rnning in the gnome env
[17:54] <lordievader> thelionroars: Gtk apps never complained when I opened them simply with sudo.
[17:56] <georges> lordievader: if you do it from terminal it wont, but if you try to use "sudo" in Exec= for desktop items it wont work
[17:56] <lordievader> georges: Synaptic works fine with "sudo synaptic".
[17:57] <georges> lordievader: in the synaptic.desktop file?
[17:58] <lordievader> georges: I don't use .desktop files, so I have no idea.
[17:58] <georges> the KDE UI uses the .desktop files
[17:58] <georges> all the menue icons are .desktop files
[17:59] <lordievader> georges: Never start synaptic from the menu ;)
[18:00] <georges> lordievader: agree, but that was my point originally, if you launch from terminal you use "sudo" but to edit the menue icons you use "kdesu"
[18:01] <lordievader> georges: Ok so we have the same view, and yet again we are argueing :P
[18:02] <georges> lordievader: tautology kills boredom LOL
[18:06] <dougl> good day!!!
[18:11] <BluesKaj> i aleays launch synaptic from a launcher , but it's alaised in /.bashrc with sudo , so i guess that doesn't count
[18:11] <BluesKaj> er ~/.bashrc
[18:14] <BluesKaj> my bifocals are  responsible for all the spelling mistakes :)
[18:14] <thelionroars> you don't use muon?
[18:15] <BluesKaj> thelionroars, very rarely unless I'm referencing for someone who needs help with it
[18:15] <BluesKaj> usually new users
[18:15] <lordievader> thelionroars: Apt-get :D
[18:15] <dougl> muon = lion?
[18:16] <dougl> lol
[18:16] <dougl> nm
[18:16] <dougl> my bifocals are messing with me too
[18:16] <BluesKaj> dougl, that one went right over my head :)
[18:17] <dougl> BluesKaj, good cuz if you are in tune with me we'd need to worry - lol
[18:17] <BluesKaj> :)
[18:18] <thelionroars> yes I have been using apt more or less exclusively for my updates for at least a year
[18:18] <dougl> apt-get = best... you can see what is going on during install
[18:18] <thelionroars> and installs
[18:18] <thelionroars> but haven't seen the command for held back packages yet for apt
[18:18] <thelionroars> that would be handy
[18:19] <dougl> held back packages?
[18:19] <lordievader> thelionroars: You mean apt-get dist-upgrade?
[18:19] <lordievader> thelionroars: Installs the held-back packages.
[18:20] <thelionroars> I thought dist-upgrade wasn't supposed to be used...
[18:20] <lordievader> thelionroars: Why not?
[18:20] <BluesKaj> thelionroars, I think most users use the CLI/apt for installing and removing apps afterthey become familiarized
[18:20] <dougl> I thought it was recomended to do once a day
[18:20] <thelionroars> only heard of it in the context of upgrading to a new version of Ubuntu
[18:21] <dougl> that is something else I think
[18:21] <thelionroars> xtp391h50eleven
[18:21] <lordievader> thelionroars: Ah the confusement rises again, apt-get dist-upgrade is not do-release-upgrade, the latter upgrades Ubuntu from say 12.04 to 12.10 or something. Apt-get dist-upgrade will just update installed packages.
[18:22] <thelionroars> oops password :P
[18:22] <thelionroars> I'm using two keyboards :)
[18:22] <dougl> I thot that was a password, time to change it....
[18:22] <thelionroars> guess it was time for a change anyway xD
[18:22] <lordievader> thelionroars: Check out synergy, it's a kvm over the internet :)
[18:22] <dougl> but that was a nice password .
[18:23] <thelionroars> meh, I have been using 16 and complex the last couple of years
[18:23] <dougl> I use synergy for windows, kubuntu and Loin on one desk with 3 monitors = works great
[18:24] <lordievader> Synergy is great as long as the network load is low.
[18:25] <BluesKaj> I just use a 42" plasma ..big enough , no need for several monitors
[18:27] <thelionroars> I will check it out
[18:28] <thelionroars> its an old Athlon xp2400+ I am putting 12.10 on
[18:29] <BluesKaj> how much memory?
[18:32] <thelionroars> 1 GB
[18:33] <thelionroars> the MB is limited to 2x512MB
[18:34] <thelionroars> I think its DDR233
[18:34] <thelionroars> I actually got it with kubuntu installed (7.10) :)
[18:35] <thelionroars> from here http://computerbank.org.au/
[19:00] <dougl> I want to make a database of pdf files (scanned hand written notes in pdf) where do I start?
[19:11] <e_t_> What do you need the database for?
[20:08] <Dosage> ? how can I get Folder View plasma for directories to suppress the .desktop file extention like it does for ~/Desktop ? For example I created a Folder VIew for /usr/share/applications but it shows all the icons with [program].desktop
[20:47] <three18ti> hi.  I just installed Kubuntu 12.10 x86_64.  I have two "NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460]", I've installed each version of the nvidia proprietary drivers (from nvidia-current to the 310 version, I currently have the 310 version installed), and three monitors.  The problem is I can only get one video card to work at a time.  The first card works, and both display ports work.  The second card
[20:47] <three18ti> works if I pull out the first card.  However, with both cards attached, the display manager displays DVI1-0 DVI-1-1 DVI-1-2 AND DVI-1-3 however, DVI-I-0 and 1 are greyed out asif nothing is connected.
[20:47] <three18ti> I've tried both bridged an un bridged mode, and if I leave the first card plugged in but disconnect the monitor, not of the monitors power up.
[20:59] <three18ti> is there a way to manually edit the display settings perhaps?  It's almost as though the card doesn't see anything attached
[21:01] <three18ti> actually, xrandr doesn't see the monitors connected at all when run from the cli.
[21:04] <erdem_> hi everybody
[21:05] <randomvase> hi
[21:06] <three18ti> here's the interesting thing, the nvidia x server settings utility sees the monitor and can tell the model.
[21:06] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: are you there?
[21:08] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: are you there?
[21:12] <phoenix_firebrd> can someone check if microblogger plasma widget works with twitter
[21:21] <three18ti> ha! I enabled the monitor in nvidia settings, now the desktop bleeds from monitor 1 to monitor 2, the third monitor powers on now, but I'm unable to control it via KDE controls.
[21:27] <three18ti> it seems to be a problem with xorg + kde
[21:31] <Doyle> Hi folks. I'm trying to setup a vpn connection using pptp to my office.
[21:31] <Doyle> Getting :FATAL: Error inserting ppp_mppe (/lib/modules/3.5.0-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/ppp_mppe.ko): Operation not permitted
[21:31] <Doyle> /usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in kernel.
[21:32] <Doyle> Anyone run across this before?
[21:34] <Doyle> It's driving me nuts. Works great form my vbox in the office, 12.10, but not from my laptop at home, or even when I take it to the office.
[21:34] <Doyle> Reinstalled kubuntu from the same img file today, but still nogo.
[21:53] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: are you there?
[21:58] <Doyle> Its ok
[21:58] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: can you help me
[21:58] <Doyle> if I can
[21:59] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: can you check if the microblogger widget is working with twitter?
[21:59] <yofel> phoenix_firebrd: I don't have a twitter account in use, so can't really help here. It wasn't working too well with identi.ca in 4.9 either though
[22:00] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: I debugged just now
[22:00] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: its a simple base service url change
[22:00] <Doyle> sure
[22:00] <Doyle> just a min
[22:01] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: If i submit a patch now, will it make it to 4.10?
[22:01] <yofel> sure, plenty of time left before final: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.10_Release_Schedule
[22:02] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: right
[22:02] <phoenix_firebrd> yofel: I just remember that you dont like the social networking wibsites
[22:03] <yofel> well, I'm not particulary against them - I do have an account on most after all. I just don't really use them
[22:04] <Doyle> Do I have to sign up fo ridenti?
[22:04] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: ridenti?
[22:04] <Doyle> identi.ca
[22:04] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: no test twitter
[22:05] <Doyle> t.co?
[22:05] <BluesKaj> to me a lot of stuff on twitter is meaningless drivel  ...some ppl I used to know were sending me messages just to talk
[22:05] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: twitter.com
[22:05] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: thats true, i just use it for news feeds
[22:06] <BluesKaj> being interrupted because somebody had a good golf score isn't meaningful :)
[22:07] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: ha ha ha
[22:07] <Doyle> gives me an error
[22:07] <Doyle> Error
[22:07] <Doyle>   from
[22:07] <Doyle> ()
[22:07] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: ok now goto the settings
[22:08] <Doyle> and then?
[22:09] <phoenix_firebrd> and change the service url from "https://twitter.com/" to "https://api.twitter.com/1/" and try again
[22:10] <Doyle> way better
[22:10] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: works?
[22:10] <Doyle> I expected an api link in the first place
[22:11] <Doyle> yep
[22:11] <phoenix_firebrd> nice
[22:11] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: yofel the solution works
[22:12] <BluesKaj> solution for something , ok  :)
[22:13] <phoenix_firebrd> BluesKaj: more disturbance :D
[22:13] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: thank you
[22:13] <Doyle> Anytime
[22:14] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: Did you solve your problem
[22:14] <Doyle> sudo got it to work a bit better. Just have ot double check my un/pw
[22:14] <Doyle> Gives me : MS-CHAP authentication failed: I don't like you.  Go 'way.
[22:15] <Doyle> I gotta do something about that vpn appliance... it's kinda ghetto
[22:15] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: Ya thats what i thought when i saw the not permitted message
[22:16] <Doyle> I'm just dumb today. Too much to drink last night.
[22:16] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: So its a simple matter of configuring your network
[22:17] <Doyle> It's weird though
[22:17] <Doyle> Still can't use the network manager
[22:17] <Doyle> Same un/pw combo works perfectly from a virtual machine on my desktop at work
[22:17] <Doyle> but not on this laptop
[22:17] <BluesKaj> Doyle, there are some networking gurus over at #ubuntu ...their population is much larger than ours and your problem isn't restricted to kubuntu per se
[22:18] <Doyle> fair enough. I tried the gnome connection manager on the off chance it would makea  diff. nogo
[22:21] <Doyle> The Messages tab of microblogger displays "Error"
[22:21] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: ya i know
[22:21] <Doyle> ok
[22:22] <phoenix_firebrd> Doyle: its been blocked because the application doesn't have permission to do so, possibly new twitter policy. I have to discuss this with the maintainer
[22:24] <Doyle> Does Kubuntu use github to maintain their codebase?
[22:35] <phoenix_firebrd> good night everyone

[00:13] <apachelogger> ScottK: our mission is to provide the best KDE desktop based on ubuntu AFAIK
[00:13] <apachelogger> I'd feel rather uncomfortable shipping GTK software where in most user's use cases ark would do as well
[00:28] <aleite> Hello guys@
[00:28] <aleite> Do you know how to build kde on release mode?
[00:29] <aleite> Now, even if I put -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, kde is built in debugfull mode
[00:31] <Jucato> small 'r'? as in =release?
[00:32] <aleite>  Tried too...
[00:32] <aleite> didn't work
[04:11] <dread> heya
[04:11] <dread> why the crap is the damn ugly 'gwenview-kde3' preinstalled in kubuntu 8.10 beta ?
[04:12] <dread> i updated from 8.04
[04:14] <dread> can anyone give me the default sources.list for 8.10 please?
[04:15] <dread> argh
[04:16] <dread> the new adept is messy... not showing up the packages from sources
[04:16] <Hobbsee> dread: well, for a start, gwenview-kde3 doesn't exist in ubuntu/kubuntu.
[04:16] <Hobbsee> secondly, be respectful if you actually want an answer.
[04:17] <Hobbsee> thirdly, default sources.list is probably a #kubuntu question.
[04:19] <dread> ok, very sorry T_T
[04:19] <dread> you guys rock ;-)
[04:38] <ScottK> apachelogger: I was thinking in addition, not instead of, but not a big deal.
[08:34] <hosein-mec> why there isnt default list of package in Adept 3 ?? there is only search function to see package ... !
[10:05] <Salze> Hi. kdesudo "adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel" does not give me any new packages. Will I get the same result (I should have gotten with this) by replacing hardy with intrepid in the sources.list?
[10:06] <Salze> Oh...forget it.
[10:06]  * Salze feels ashamed
[10:06] <Salze> The upgrade button was hidden because the window was too small.
[10:14] <seaLne> why is 4.1.2 in hardy but not intrepid is it just beta freeze?
[10:17] <stdin> !info kdelibs5 intrepid | seaLne
[10:19] <seaLne> hmm so it should be?
[10:19] <stdin> well, that's what apt reports
[10:20] <seaLne> weird my system agrees didn't remember it installing
[10:20] <seaLne> :)
[10:20] <stdin> must have upgraded smoothly then :)
[10:21]  * seaLne grins
[10:51] <DreadKnight> the beta has issue on my box
[10:51] <DreadKnight> but only the 64bit version
[10:52] <DreadKnight> i couldn't get x running at all
[10:52] <DreadKnight> intel GMA 950 video card
[10:52] <davmor2> DreadKnight: works here
[10:53] <DreadKnight> davmor2: installed from cd?
[10:53] <DreadKnight> i have Toshiba portege m405
[10:53] <davmor2> DreadKnight: yeap both alt and live
[10:53] <DreadKnight> i upgraded a hardy install... heh
[10:53] <DreadKnight> only 32 bit worked

[12:13] <kubotu> alright
[12:14] <Salze> I have a problem during the update from Hardy to Intrepid with the adept_manager installation procedure.
[12:14] <Salze> Unfortunately I cannot start konqueror, so I cannot use pastebin.
[12:14] <Salze> Anyone willing to try to help me in a query?
[12:14] <apachelogger> why can't you start konqueror?
[12:14] <Salze> I think because some parts have already been replaced.
[12:15] <Salze> But I'm not sure.
[12:15] <Salze> It says it cannot initiate http protocol.
[12:15] <apachelogger> Salze: can you paste to a file?
[12:16] <Salze> Yes.
[12:16] <apachelogger> Salze: do that
[12:16] <Salze> I have.
[12:16] <apachelogger> then wget http://aplg.kollide.net/tmp/batpaste
[12:16] <apachelogger> ruby batpaste FILENAME
[12:17] <Salze> http://paste.ubuntu.com/53414/
[12:17] <Salze> Thank you.
[12:19] <Salze> The installation process hangs (as far as I can tell). Any chance to get it running again?
[12:19] <apachelogger> Salze: how did you start the upgrade?
[12:19] <Salze> kdesudo ...
[12:19] <Salze> Don't remember exactly - I c&p from the webpage.
[12:20] <apachelogger> adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel maybe?
[12:20] <Salze> Yes.
[12:20] <apachelogger> hm
[12:20] <Salze> kdesudo (or something) in front of that.
[12:21] <apachelogger> Riddell: would that restart the upgrade if it has been aborted?
[12:21] <Salze> The window is still open - I just have the impression it waits for some input.
[12:21] <Salze> But I don't see any question.
[12:22] <Salze> It's stuck at "Configuring landscape-common
[12:23] <apachelogger> Salze: you will have to wait for Riddell, he knows about the upgrader
[12:23] <Salze> Ok. Thank you for your help!
[12:23] <apachelogger> You're welcome!
[12:29] <Salze> Just in case someone might be interested: I killed "/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/landscape-sysinfo". Now the installer continues to run.
[12:30] <apachelogger> Salze: it might happen again
[12:30] <Salze> Same error messages with bash_completion - although this time the installer continues to run.
[12:31]  * apachelogger is wondering why it can't initialize the kde frontend for debconf
[12:31] <Salze> I don't know. I would suspect some essential kde files got updated already and are now incompatible.
[12:32] <Salze> [13:30] <apachelogger> Salze: it might happen again <- it did - several times already. But now it always continues to run.
[12:32] <Salze> Let's wait and see whether the system will be usable at the end. :-)
[12:32] <apachelogger> well, maybe debconf is locked
[12:33] <Salze> Wouldn't it then complain about locks instead of frontend?
[12:33] <Riddell> apachelogger: there is no kde frontend to debconf
[12:33] <Riddell> we should probably write one
[12:33] <apachelogger> Riddell: wasn't there some?
[12:33] <Riddell> there was for kde 3, not for kde 4
[12:34]  * apachelogger seems to remember that adept poped up with a kde dialog for debconf stuff
[12:34] <apachelogger> ah, I see
[12:34] <Salze> It did ask me once whether I want to keep or replace changes on some file. Was that debconf?
[12:35] <apachelogger> no, that was dpkg itself
[12:35] <apachelogger> Riddell: can you grant a FFe for powerdevil?
[12:35] <Salze> Ok.
[12:35] <Riddell> Salze: when your upgrade is done report a bug on update-manager noting where it got stuck and attach /usr/lob/dist-upgrade/*
[12:35] <apachelogger> s/lob/log
[12:35] <Riddell> apachelogger: if there's a good reason I could
[12:35] <Salze> Will do - at least if the system is useable at the end. *gg*
[12:35] <apachelogger> Riddell: it works better ;-)
[12:36]  * apachelogger is wondering why drf doesn't keep a changelog -.-
[12:36] <Riddell> changelogs are hassle to keep
[12:37] <Riddell> apachelogger: yeah, go for it, I'll review the package before uploading
[12:38] <apachelogger> Riddell: do you want to upload or are you reviewing it before accepting the upload?
[12:38] <apachelogger> it's in universe, so I can upload :)
[12:39] <Salze>  /usr/lob/dist-upgrade/* <- It's /var, right?
[12:40] <apachelogger> haha, awesome svn log http://paste.ubuntu.com/53418/
[12:40] <stdin> /var/log/dist-upgrade
[12:42] <Salze> Ok, I managed to save that to my SD card, so that I will have it even if the system does not work after rebooting.
[12:54] <JontheEchidna> Riddell: apparently your ksmserver patch broke update-notifier-kde, clicking on the reboot icon brings up the shutdown dialog
[12:55] <JontheEchidna> bug 277380
[13:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: is that too late to get kpackagekit in the archives ?
[13:00] <Tonio_> Riddell: 0.1 looks stable to get in universe imho
[13:00] <Riddell> apachelogger: go ahead and upload
[13:01] <Riddell> Tonio_: that's fine with me
[13:01] <Tonio_> Riddell: and since we'll probably consider it for jaunty.... why not getting it in...
[13:02] <Tonio_> Riddell: okay, I'll make the packages clean enough for the archives and upload to revu.... then ping to get revued
[13:02] <Riddell> JontheEchidna: mm, it probably just needs to call the correct numbers, unfortunately they're not well documented
[13:02] <apachelogger> Riddell: uploaded
[13:02] <Riddell> apachelogger: what happened to you and core-dev?
[13:04] <apachelogger> Riddell: rumor has it that apparently it got deferred
[13:04] <apachelogger> but since motu council does super secret channels I wouldn't know for sure :P
[13:04] <apachelogger> s/channels/meetings
[13:04] <apachelogger> ...in super secret channels though...
[13:38] <ScottK> It was still listed as a pending application in the meeting notes from the last meeting.
[13:45] <Riddell> ScottK: what's it blocked on?
[13:46] <ScottK> Riddell: Dunno.  They just list pending applications in their call minutes, but don't say why they are still pending.
[13:49] <Riddell> poke nixternal
[13:49] <Riddell> presumably he needs to show up at a tech board meeting sometime
[14:16] <jtechidna> ScottK: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53441/
[14:16] <jtechidna> works for me (tm)
[14:18] <ScottK> jtechidna: I'm downloading the source from your PPA now.
[14:19] <jjesse> mroning
[14:19] <jtechidna> http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/Woremar/tooltips.png
[14:21] <ScottK> jtechidna: Cool.  Thanks.  I'll build it and let you know how it works here.
[14:22] <jtechidna> ScottK: you're welcome. I learned a lot in the process
[14:24] <ScottK> jtechidna: I do think Riddell should review it before upload so unless he asks me to after looking at it, I don't think I should sponsor it.
[14:24] <jtechidna> yeah, def
[14:28] <rgreening> OMG.. that pic is awesome
[14:29]  * rgreening wishes kde 4.2 was ready for intrepid
[14:29] <rgreening> come on Jaunty...
[14:30]  * ScottK finds 4.1 quite exciting enough thank you very much.
[14:30] <rgreening> lol
[14:31] <rgreening> does anyone here know the Plasman API? I want to code a small app but was looking for someone to work with.
[14:32] <rgreening> s/Plasman/Plasma
[14:32] <rgreening> I miss my favorites applet... so I want to code one for Plasma...
[14:35] <sebas> rgreening: what do you need to know exactly?
[14:36] <rgreening> I haven't looked at Plasma before, so I was looking for someone who has to help out.
[14:36] <sebas> #plasma is usually helpful
[14:36] <rgreening> good idea
[14:36] <sebas> And there are lots of examples in KDE's svn
[14:36]  * rgreening adds to auto-connect
[14:36] <sebas> You can start by modifying an existing plasmoids
[14:36] <sebas> -s
[14:37] <rgreening> true. does kdevelop support KDE4 and Plasmoid projects yet?
[14:37] <sebas> Dunno, I'm using kate+konsole usually
[14:37] <sebas> I *think* it does, but I'm not a 100% sure
[14:39] <Riddell> kdevelop is just a text editor too, it supports anything.  it should come with KDE 4 templates.  plasmoid templates probably not but you can start with any existing one
[14:39]  * sebas nods at Riddell
[14:39] <Riddell> sebas: go nod in that other channel over there
[14:40]  * rgreening installed kdevelop.. KDE4 projects folder... empty.. hrm
[14:41] <rgreening> Is there a python bindings support being done (or exist) for plasma yet?
[14:42] <rgreening> cause that would be easier :P
[14:42] <Riddell> python bindings are in playground/base/plasma but it didn't work last I tried
[14:42] <Riddell> will need kde 4.2 anyway
[14:42] <rgreening> ah
[14:45] <jtechidna> yeah, can't wait for 4.2
[14:45] <jtechidna> I think I can wait for Jaunty though, Intrepid has been exciting
[14:46] <ScottK> Riddell: One problem I ran into when I upgraded was between kdelibs4-dev and kdelibs5-dev.  I had kdegames-dev installed and it switched from *4 to *5 and they aren't coinstallable.  I could sort it manually and probably so could most people who have -dev packages.  Is it worth worrying about?
[14:48] <Riddell> ScottK: so apt got confused?
[14:49] <ScottK> Riddell: Yes.  It couldn't upgrade kdegames-dev because that would have needed kdelibs4-dev removed.  I think it's either 'not a big deal' or update-manager needs a special case for it.
[14:50] <ScottK> I replicated it do an upgrade of a chroot from hardy to intrepid, so it wasn't a one time oddity.
[14:56] <nixternal> good morning
[14:57] <Riddell> ScottK: I guess mvo is the person to ask about what the right thing to do is.  there should be a right thing to do
[14:58] <nixternal> apachelogger: I already commented and gave you a +1 on your application correct?
[14:58] <ScottK> Riddell: OK.  I'll ask him.
[14:58] <Riddell> ScottK: he might be on holiday today though, it's german group hug day
[14:59] <ScottK> OK.
[14:59]  * ScottK adds to TODO.
[14:59] <Riddell> nixternal: yes but motu-council hasn't got any further
[14:59] <nixternal> hrmm, I don't know why...and I thought I was the one holding up processes due to me working, guess not
[15:02] <nixternal> argh, I can see this MC stuff is going to piss me off concerning you apachelogger
[15:02] <Riddell> nixternal: how so?
[15:03] <apachelogger> :/
[15:03] <nixternal> because they waste no time pushing a Canonical employee through for core-dev, but hang up on apachelogger who has been in this community far longer than anyone else currently in the queue...they are doing the same with superm1 as well
[15:04] <ScottK> nixternal: superm1 is scheduled for the next tech board meeting.
[15:04] <nixternal> wtf
[15:04]  * smarter is wondering what's happening with his motu application too :]
[15:04]  * apachelogger is a 2nd class citzien himself
[15:04] <nixternal> good, I am glad mario got through then
[15:04] <nixternal> apachelogger: I agree :P
[15:04] <nixternal> I would lean more for 3rd class citizen with you though :p
[15:04] <ScottK> I think it's mostly MC people being busy.
[15:05] <nixternal> ScottK: I voted right away and I am never around
[15:05] <ScottK> Perhaps some people not sure what the right answer is and spend a long time navel gazing.
[15:05] <apachelogger> nixternal: then I should switch to xubuntu
[15:05] <nixternal> so it isn't the MC being busy
[15:05] <ScottK> nixternal: Others haven't voted.  Dunno why.
[15:05] <nixternal> I come on for 15 minutes a day, I check my email once a week
[15:06] <nixternal> i should have voted -1 for apachelogger since he didn't even add me to his application
[15:07] <apachelogger> lol
[15:07] <apachelogger> nixternal: I still love you though
[15:07] <nixternal> sure you do
[15:08]  * apachelogger had to browse through 5 neon files in order to find the constant for package revision
[15:09] <jtechidna> apachelogger: testbuildan a kate fix
[15:10] <apachelogger> jtechidna: sounds dangerous
[15:10] <jtechidna> well, it's a 6-line patch :P
[15:11] <apachelogger> well
[15:11] <apachelogger> there we have it
[15:11] <apachelogger> _patch_
[15:11] <jtechidna> heh
[15:11] <apachelogger> !<3 patches
[15:11] <apachelogger> :)
[15:11] <jtechidna> !patches
[15:12] <jtechidna> damn, I know I added something about patches
[15:12] <jtechidna> or maybe workarounds...
[15:12] <jtechidna> kubotu: facts about patches
[15:12] <kubotu> I know nothing about patches
[15:12] <apachelogger> kubotu: facts about apachelogger
[15:12] <kubotu> [5/6] apachelogger has a batman pyjama. [6/6] "...and apachelogger hates workarounds"
[15:13] <nixternal> kubotu: facts about nixternal
[15:13] <kubotu> I know nothing about nixternal
[15:13] <nixternal> good, lets keep it that way!
[15:13] <apachelogger> lol
[15:13] <rgreening> kubotu: fact #2
[15:13] <kubotu> fact #2 of 6: rgreening buries head in sand [from smarter!n=smarter@ubuntu/member/smarter on Wed Oct 01 23:27:17 +0300 2008 in #kubuntu-bunker]
[15:14] <nixternal> vore: are you going to the pre-party next friday? if so, I need your cell number so I can call you...I am planning on getting to columbus at around 6/7 pm

[15:16] <vorian> it's across the street from the conf. center
[15:16] <vorian> Barleys
[15:16] <vorian> let me get a linky
[15:16] <nixternal> groovy, barleys, I have been there before
[15:17] <vorian> excellent

[15:17] <nixternal> I am ready to drink people pretty

[15:18] <vorian> haha
[15:18] <Jucato> >:)
[15:18] <Jucato> you'll only see a number from 1337 :)
[15:24] <JontheEchidna> heh, Tooltips even work well with vertical panels: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/Woremar/tooltips2.png
[15:27] <Riddell> apachelogger: able to turn up at techboard meeting? (#ubuntu-devel) ?
[15:28] <apachelogger> Riddell: yes
[15:29] <Riddell> apachelogger: guess that's the thing to do then
[15:29]  * apachelogger creates a calendar entry
[15:43] <apachelogger> Riddell: bug 276588
[15:44] <Riddell> apachelogger: can you connect to upload.ubuntu.com frp?
[15:44] <Riddell> ftp
[15:45] <apachelogger> Riddell: no
[15:46] <Riddell> mm, sysadmins are moving machines around
[15:51]  * apachelogger is wondering why kdeartwork includes incompatible icon themes
[15:52] <Riddell> apachelogger: because kdeartwork has no maintainer
[15:52] <Riddell> I've tried to hint to ruphy he should do it since he effectivly maintains oxygen from a technical view, but he doesn't seem interested
[15:52] <apachelogger> Riddell: why does unmaintained stuff get released at all?
[15:53] <Riddell> shrug, bits of it are useful, it just needs someone to tidy it up
[15:55] <apachelogger> I see
[15:57] <apachelogger> Riddell: btw, did you copy 4.1.2 to the members ppa?
[15:58] <Riddell> apachelogger: yes
[15:58] <apachelogger> Riddell: oh why, but why? :P
[15:58] <Riddell> apachelogger: isn't that what needs done?
[15:59] <apachelogger> Riddell: yeah, doing it about half an hour before KDE publishes the news is good enough though
[16:00] <Riddell> apachelogger: well KDE was going to publish this morning
[16:00] <apachelogger> well
[16:00] <apachelogger> sebas: did another so* get messed up? ;-)
[16:01] <Riddell> germany is on holiday (group hug day).  kde falls apart when germany goes on holiday
[16:01] <apachelogger> ^_^
[16:01] <apachelogger> rofl
[16:02] <davmor2> Riddell: ban him from holidays :P
[16:02] <JontheEchidna> kde4libs always takes so long to compile :(
[16:04]  * apachelogger finds libs pretty fast actually
[16:04] <apachelogger> pim and bindings take long
[16:04] <Riddell> qt takes longer than anything
[16:05] <Riddell> (other than openoffice obviously)
[16:06] <apachelogger> talking about qt, do we have 4.4.3 in the archive yet?
[16:07] <Riddell> no, rgreening sent it to me but it was waiting for beta freeze and now it's waiting for upload.ubuntu.com
[16:07] <Riddell> along with a load of other bits
[16:09] <apachelogger> poor qt
[16:09] <rgreening> I've been running the 4.4.3 eversince I built it. Works fine here
[16:09]  * apachelogger screwed up the complete changelogs for 4.1.2
[16:10] <rgreening> Riddell: I assume the kwin branch removal to kdebase-workspace was also uploaded now?
[16:10] <JontheEchidna> we could probably backport the fix from trunk even if suse hasn't updated their branch^
[16:11] <apachelogger> that sounds suicidal TBH
[16:11] <JontheEchidna> yeah, that patch is HUGE LIEK XBOX
[16:12] <Riddell> rgreening: I'm trying an updated version of the patch, but it's also waiting on upload.u.c to reappear
[16:13] <jussi01> wow, intrepid is blazing fast compared to hardy kde4... :D
[16:13] <rgreening> JontheEchidna: did you fwd the tootip diff to Riddell for inclusion? Real spiffy :)
[16:13] <JontheEchidna> Riddell: would you mind reviewing the tooltips patch sometime? http://paste.ubuntu.com/53441/
[16:13] <JontheEchidna> rgreening: ha
[16:13] <rgreening> lol
[16:13] <rgreening> read my minsd
[16:13] <rgreening> s/minsd/mind
[16:13] <JontheEchidna> just like when you joined right after I announced working tooltips
[16:13] <rgreening> haha
[16:13] <rgreening> too funny
[16:14] <rgreening> kubotu: order JontheEchidna a Irn Bru
[16:14]  * kubotu slides jontheechidna a irn bru down the bar to rgreening
[16:14] <sebas> apachelogger: no, sysadmin mia ;)
[16:14] <rgreening> doh!
[16:14] <JontheEchidna> kubotu: help order
[16:14] <kubotu> You may also have a look at 'help order goods/machines/replies' ... Placing an order is actually easy as hell. 'order GOOD' => GOOD gets slid down the bar. 'order GOOD for NICK' => GOOD get slid down the bar to NICK. 'order GOOD for everyone' => everyone gets GOOD (in case the good is finite it will end as you place this order). 'order birthday package' => in case you want to make a special birthday present ;-)
[16:15] <rgreening> ah
[16:15] <rgreening> kubotu: order a Irn Bru for JontheEchidna
[16:15]  * kubotu slides a irn bru down the bar to JontheEchidna
[16:15] <rgreening> better
[16:15] <JontheEchidna> rgreening: so did you get the tooltips working on your box?
[16:16] <apachelogger> sebas: if KDE had made me sysadmin... :P
[16:16] <rgreening> haven't had a chance to dl them. I need to downgrade my version (save rev as yours) to upgrade
[16:16] <rgreening> s/save/same
[16:16] <JontheEchidna> ah, right
[16:17] <apachelogger> seriously
[16:17] <apachelogger> oh my picard!
[16:18] <apachelogger> sebas: is it me or is the changelog really done manually without using the xml file?
[16:18] <sebas> Dunno, it looks buggered
[16:18] <apachelogger> that would support my theory
[16:19] <sebas> I am with you then
[16:19] <sebas> I'm actually glad if it's done at all
[16:20] <apachelogger> looks a bit short
[16:22] <apachelogger> sebas: maybe we should just tweak carsten's create_changelog script and parse the might commit logs
[16:22]  * apachelogger drinks yet another cup of awfully cold coffee
[16:22] <JontheEchidna> ~order hot coffee for apachelogger
[16:22]  * kubotu slides hot coffee down the bar to apachelogger
[16:23] <apachelogger> hm
[16:23] <sebas> apachelogger: not all commits are interesting for the changelog (that's what the .txt links that are broken are there for)
[16:23] <apachelogger> I fixed them :P
[16:23]  * apachelogger fixes all the stuff none else cares about :P
[16:23] <apachelogger> sebas: we could introduce new keywords
[16:23] <apachelogger> FEATURE: blah
[16:23] <sebas> I love you!
[16:23] <apachelogger> IMPROVEMENT: blah blah
[16:24] <apachelogger> \o/
[16:24] <sebas> Yeah, it should anyway filter out all bugs
[16:24] <sebas> That's be useful, those just belong into the changelog no matter what
[16:24] <apachelogger> *nod*
[16:24] <sebas> Not even if my cat started complaining in chinese right now
[16:25]  * apachelogger thinks that would be quite hilarious
[16:26] <sebas> And quite unreasonable. It's far too lazy to have any say.
[16:26] <sebas> And it usually doesn't move it's hairy ass unless it expects food.
[16:27] <apachelogger> that reminds me of JontheEchidna :P
[16:27]  * apachelogger scuttles off
[16:27] <JontheEchidna> :P
[16:27] <rgreening> oh my
[16:28] <JontheEchidna> I guess it's what I get for slacking off on backports
[16:29] <JontheEchidna> Arby deserves a medal
[16:29] <Arby> he does, for what?
[16:29] <JontheEchidna> for doing most of the backports for 4.1.2
[16:30] <Arby> *shrug* if it leaves other people free to do the hard stuff it's all good :)
[16:30] <Arby> then I don't have to :)
[16:32] <apachelogger> uh
[16:32] <apachelogger> I think I fixed neon
[16:34] <JontheEchidna> :D
[16:34]  * JontheEchidna misses his trunky amarok
[16:34] <apachelogger> well, it gets more broken every day :P
[16:35] <apachelogger> "It's not broken, it's Amarok"
[16:35] <apachelogger> JontheEchidna: next time you do the release screenshot again
[16:36] <JontheEchidna> heh, ok
[16:36] <apachelogger> if http://www.kubuntu.org/system/files/kde4_1_2.png was any more blurry it would count as modern art
[16:39] <JontheEchidna> bah, where did my sound go
[16:41] <apachelogger> JontheEchidna: with germany on group hug day?
[16:41] <JontheEchidna> probably
[16:47] <apachelogger> right
[16:47] <apachelogger> Riddell: please approve kgrubeditor
[16:48] <Riddell> apachelogger: that's on my todo list :)
[16:48] <Riddell> apachelogger: remind me again the rationale
[16:48] <Riddell> we currently have an unstable version and it's stable?
[16:48] <apachelogger> Riddell: the version we have is undstable compared with the new one
[16:48] <apachelogger> Artemis_Fowl: fixed a couple of bugs
[16:49] <apachelogger> Riddell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53472/
[16:50] <Artemis_Fowl> yep, and one of the bugs was kind of important since it caused a crash upon launching kgrubeditor
[16:54] <Riddell> ta da http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.2
[16:56] <smarter> :)
[16:56] <smarter> "Submitted on Wed, 2008-10-01"
[16:56] <smarter> publication date would be more appropriate :P
[16:57] <Riddell> thanks to whoever submitted it
[16:58]  * apachelogger fixed the date and removed the reference to kde.org since it still says embargo :P
[16:59] <Riddell> thanks
[16:59] <apachelogger> sebas: fixed the changelog
[17:00] <rgreening> nice :P
[17:00]  * Arby applauds the release and heads for the pub to celebrate
[17:00] <Arby> and because it's 5pm on a friday :)

[17:12] <jussi01> err, that looks like when I used crystal icons on hardy...

[17:16] <apachelogger> very useful :)

[17:17] <Riddell> apachelogger: yes
[17:17] <smarter> ~time set Europe/France
[17:17] <kubotu> Europe/France is an invalid timezone. Format is Continent/City or a two character country code.
[17:17] <smarter> ~time set Europe/Paris
[17:17] <kubotu> Ok, I'll remember that smarter is on the Europe/Paris timezone
[17:18] <apachelogger> Riddell: oh, that wouldn't help anyway :S the user already set a configured scheme so it would override etc in any case
[17:19] <rgreening> smarter: what part of Paris? I stayed at the Tour d'Eiffel Hotel on my vacation (July 3rd) this year.
[17:19] <apachelogger> JontheEchidna: the problem is that we can't use kconf_update to drain the setting from kdeglobals due to /etc/kde4/kdeglobals which for some reason gets higher priority
[17:19] <apachelogger> the only solution would be to do it in postinst of kdelibs5
[17:19] <smarter> rgreening: I don't live in Paris, just in France and there's only one timezone :)
[17:20] <apachelogger> i.e. sed $HOMEs
[17:20] <rgreening> oh... hrm
[17:20] <smarter> rgreening: https://launchpad.net/~smarter to see where I live :)
[17:20] <smarter> rgreening: also, it's Tour Eiffel, no "d'" here :P

[17:21] <smarter> you spellt these two words right, that's not bad (:
[17:21] <smarter> apachelogger: actually, si exists in french
[17:21] <apachelogger> well
[17:21] <apachelogger> it wouldn't make any sense here, would it?
[17:22] <smarter> yes it does :P
[17:22] <smarter> when someone asks a negative questions, you answer "si" instead of "oui"
[17:22] <smarter> hmm, no it doesn't make any sense here, I'm just being stupid ^^'
[17:22] <apachelogger> exactly
[17:23] <smarter> anyway, even if they don't have good beer, swiss have good chocolate :)
[17:23] <apachelogger> jussi01: btw, I could have installed my own ruby as well :P
[17:23] <rgreening> and milk maids
[17:23]  * apachelogger currently overrides system ruby with 2 plugins
[17:24] <jussi01> apachelogger: cool, I dont mind, there is plenty of space :)
[17:24] <apachelogger> smarter: belgium got better chocolate :P
[17:24] <apachelogger> jussi01: I think I am too lazy though ;-)
[17:24] <apachelogger> besides, that is going to end up like on kollide
[17:25] <apachelogger> I have half a system in my home there
[17:25] <apachelogger> bloody gentoo isn't usable gentoo ;-)
[17:26]  * tanderson notices the gentoo highlight
[17:26] <apachelogger> haha
[17:26] <apachelogger> tanderson: is there any way to make gentoo usable for servers?
[17:26] <tanderson> apachelogger: sure, I use it on one myself
[17:27] <apachelogger> probably our admin's fault then
[17:27] <apachelogger> stuff breaks all the time
[17:27] <tanderson> oh yeah, it's easy break if you're not careful

[17:52] <apachelogger> ahoy NCommander
[17:53] <NCommander> apachelogger, I like your core dev application ;-)
[17:53] <apachelogger> :)
[17:54] <Riddell> hmm?
[17:55] <NCommander> Riddell, apachelogger wrote his application as a ... er ... well, application :-)
[17:56] <Riddell> oh yes, genius that was
[17:56] <NCommander> I'll have to think of something to out do him for my application :-)
[17:57] <seele> have there been any reports of people having trouble upgrading to beta from the kde4 remix?
[17:57] <seele> i dont see any comments on the feedback page, but had two people ask me about it
[17:57] <JontheEchidna> I think there were some
[17:57] <Riddell> seele: I had trouble if that counts :)
[17:58] <Riddell> but that was only from the alternate CD
[17:58] <seele> Riddell: if *you* had trouble then we'er doomed
[17:58] <Riddell> through internet was fine
[17:58] <apachelogger> NCommander: good luck with that :P
[17:58] <Riddell> NCommander: write it in python.  that's much more sensible :)
[17:58] <NCommander> OOOH
[17:58]  * NCommander will write it in x86 asm
[18:00] <seele> hmm.. i guess i can try a hardy remix upgrade after work tonight
[18:00] <apachelogger> Riddell: ruby! :P
[18:01]  * apachelogger finds that changelog parser carsten wrote quite confusing
[18:03] <NCommander> apachelogger, what did you write your application in anyway?
[18:04] <apachelogger> NCommander: C++/Qt
[18:09] <ScottK> JontheEchidna: Tooltips works great here.  I think for some users this will be a real boost for Kubuntu Intrepid.
[18:10] <ScottK> rgreening: Thanks for your help on it too.
[18:10] <ScottK> Riddell: Thumbs up from me for JontheEchidna's task bar tooltip change.
[18:10] <rgreening> np. I had a small part. this patch will seperate us from some of the others...
[18:11] <rgreening> too bad we can't backport the updated systray.
[18:11] <rgreening> or can we...
[18:11] <Riddell> ScottK: groovy, working for me too, I'll upload shortly
[18:11] <ScottK> Don't go too far ...
[18:11] <ScottK> Great.

[18:11] <Riddell> rgreening: probably not, but what's updated in it?
[18:12] <rgreening> Riddell: the transparancy issue is fixed AFAIK
[18:12] <rgreening> quite annoying atm
[18:12] <Riddell> rgreening: uploading kdegraphics
[18:12] <rgreening> cool
[18:13] <rgreening> Riddell: and how goes the kdebase-workspace testing on the updated kwin branch patch
[18:13] <Riddell> rgreening: working well here
[18:13] <rgreening> awesome. another boost for Kubuntu
[18:14] <Riddell> just need to edit .install files so we get than all important cube effect installed
[18:14] <rgreening> kool
[18:14] <JontheEchidna> oh, so that's why I couldn't find it :P
[18:15] <rgreening> lol
[18:15] <JontheEchidna> probably why the desktop switching effect combobox was empty
[18:15] <rgreening> ah.. could be
[18:15] <rgreening> though....
[18:15] <rgreening> that's a moc thing and should still be generated
[18:15] <rgreening> i believe
[18:16]  * rgreening is learning to write plasmoids...
[18:16] <JontheEchidna> anybody working on anything kde4libs related? I'm probably going to have a kde4libs update that will need sponsored
[18:16] <JontheEchidna> (Bug 277258)
[18:19] <JontheEchidna> Still might be a while before it's all built
[18:21] <rgreening> Riddell: you uploading my changes for qt 4.4.3 as well...
[18:21] <Riddell> rgreening: yep
[18:22] <rgreening> cool...
[18:22] <Riddell> 100MB upload, wonder how long that'll take
[18:22] <rgreening> Is there an easy way to downgrade from local installed packages and prefer those in a repo (older version #'s).
[18:23] <Riddell> apt pinning maybe, it's fiddly as I mind
[18:23] <JontheEchidna> rgreening: if you still have old debs in /etc/apt/archive you could dpkg those
[18:24] <JontheEchidna> then apt-get update to the ones in the ppa
[18:24] <JontheEchidna> er
[18:24] <JontheEchidna> /var/cache/apt/archive
[18:25] <rgreening> that's what I have been doing. Just though there may have been a easier way. I think the pin is similar to Gentoo's masking. I may give that a shot.
[18:27] <JontheEchidna> Riddell: btw, didja get my adept sidebar patch? ;D
[18:28] <JontheEchidna> By the time Intrepid is released Riddell will have patches coming out his ears
[18:31] <apachelogger> *nod*
[18:31] <apachelogger> oh
[18:31] <apachelogger> awesome
[18:31] <apachelogger> sebas: basic commit log parsing works
[18:31] <Riddell> JontheEchidna: yes, also on today's todo list
[18:31] <JontheEchidna> nice, thanks. :)
[18:33] <jjesse> is there a reason i keep getting notification of incomplete lanague support of english?  and when i can't select english because it is greyed out
[18:35] <Riddell> jjesse: it's a beastie
[18:35] <jjesse> oh?
[18:36] <Riddell> we'll fix i
[18:36] <Riddell> we'll fix it
[18:37] <jjesse> i'm sure you were,just wondered if it was something ive done to my system
[18:37] <Riddell> no
[18:38]  * ScottK had to manually change the selected mixer in kmix to get mute/volume control to work (it worked in Hardy without intervention) from 'pcm' to 'front'.  Bug or just something people have to change sometimes?
[18:40] <JontheEchidna> hmm, it's set to pcm here but volume control works for me. (I has no mute keyboard button)
[18:41] <ScottK> Mute keyboard button works as well as clicking on kmix.  Volume keys show the volume, but won't change it.  Kmix slider works fine.
[18:45] <rgreening> JontheEchidna: sidebar patch?
[18:45] <JontheEchidna> rgreening: look at Okular's sidebar and then look at Adept's
[18:46] <JontheEchidna> Adept uses Okular's sidebar code, but Adept's copy is from KDE 4.0 and looks somewhat crappy
[18:47] <rgreening> JontheEchidna: adept 3 looks crappy in general (IMO)
[18:47]  * rgreening liked the old adept...
[18:48] <JontheEchidna> old adept was slow and crashy
[18:48] <JontheEchidna> Quick and un-crashy is my favorite adept3 feature
[18:49] <rgreening> I never had a hitch with old one... lucky I guess.
[18:49] <JontheEchidna> Plus we got to close 75% of our Adept bugs because of Adept3
[18:49] <rgreening> lol
[18:50] <JontheEchidna> The biggest peeve with Adept3 I have is it's searching
[18:50] <JontheEchidna> *its
[18:50] <rgreening> I hate the missing icons in adept. all the '?' icons drives me nutz
[18:51]  * JontheEchidna never uses adept installer
[18:51] <rgreening> I'd rather see no icon thant the '?'...
[18:51] <rgreening> I should add a patch to show no icon rather than the '?'
[18:52] <rgreening> the '?' makes me think it's broken... at least that's what general users will likely think.
[18:53] <rgreening> anyone else think so?
[18:53] <JontheEchidna> there's a bug about that actually
[18:53] <JontheEchidna> from adept2
[18:53] <JontheEchidna> which we couldn't close, hehe
[18:53] <rgreening> hmm... got the bug #.
[18:53] <NCommander> Riddell, mind doing me a favor in a little big
[18:53] <rgreening> I may try and tackle it
[18:55] <NCommander> What does APT stand for specifically
[18:55] <NCommander> Advanced Packaging Tool, right?
[18:55] <NCommander> (or Package)
[18:57] <asfak> since last 3-4 days i am unable to drag gnome apps (synaptic, firefox) from kicker to desktop.
[18:57] <ScottK> NCommander: You could always work on Bug 56125
[18:58] <NCommander> ScottK, rofl, I'm writing a manpage for adept
[18:58]  * NCommander has had that on his todo list for awhile
[18:58] <ScottK> Great.
[18:59] <NCommander> persia gave me some pointers and tools to help me get started on writing a manpage
[18:59] <ScottK> rgreening: If you're going to work on Adept, would you consider seeing if it's feasible to get back the 'show details' option in the udpdater?
[19:00] <NCommander> But I've never written one from scratch, so I'm looking for a second pair of eyes to look it over
[19:00] <rgreening> Scottk,NCommander: http://polishlinux.org/apps/cli/ascii-art-fun-cowsay-and-figlet/
[19:00] <rgreening> a good cow
[19:00] <rgreening> :)
[19:00]  * NCommander perfers aptitude -vvvvvvv moo
[19:00] <ScottK> rgreening: The only good cow is cooking on my grill.
[19:00]  * NCommander wants to try using a flamethrower on his side of beef
[19:00] <rgreening> lol
[19:00] <JontheEchidna> ScottK, rgreening: I believe Scott's talking about bug 275219
[19:01] <rgreening> I prefer my steaks on High 5 min per side. :)
[19:01] <rgreening> and 1 inch thick
[19:01] <NCommander> I perfer mine red and rare
[19:01] <NCommander> (ground beef however I perfer quite dead)
[19:01] <JontheEchidna> I like mine medium
[19:01] <ScottK> NCommander: The downside of the flamethrower approach is that if there's any incomplete combustion it ends up tasking like gasoline.
[19:02] <NCommander> Hrm
[19:02]  * ScottK often orders steak "As long as it doesn't walk off the plate, I'll be happy".
[19:02] <NCommander> Maybe I should simply use an explosion to tenderize my steak
[19:02]  * ScottK is not kidding.
[19:02] <JontheEchidna> heh
[19:02] <NCommander> ScottK, I usually say "Dead, but not so dead I could use it as a tire"
[19:03]  * JontheEchidna just says "medium please" <.<
[19:03] <NCommander> I dunno about you, but if my meat has the consistency of rubber, I'm not happy
[19:04] <sebas> apachelogger: yay!
[19:05]  * NCommander looks at adept's source ot see what command line options it takes
[19:06] <rgreening> adept needs a moo option and it should being up a pic with the cation 'Got Kubuntu' (as parody of got milk commercials)
[19:07] <NCommander> It seems that adept's --help lies about accepting command line options
[19:08] <JontheEchidna> adept takes "installer" and "upgrader" as command lines
[19:08] <JontheEchidna> or updater
[19:08] <NCommander> Oh, what do those do specifically?
[19:08] <JontheEchidna> launch adept in install or updater mode
[19:09] <JontheEchidna> install is a more user-friendly frontend for installing and removing applications only
[19:09] <JontheEchidna> (no packages)
[19:09] <JontheEchidna> updater, well, updates :)
[19:09] <NCommander> I'm trying to figure out how best to document that
[19:10] <NCommander> installer seems broken for me
[19:10] <NCommander> oh wait, just very slow
[19:10]  * JontheEchidna never uses it aside from testing
[19:12] <rgreening> adept;
[19:12] <rgreening> Arguments:
[19:12] <rgreening>   command                   Command
[19:12] <rgreening> lol.. great help
[19:17] <rgreening> adept doesn't document those commands ... missing feature
[19:18] <JontheEchidna> I'm sure mornfall would appreciate patches for stuff like that
[19:18] <rgreening> JontheEchidna: that's what I was thinking on doing...
[19:22] <NCommander> JontheEchidna, are you willing to look over my manpage?
[19:22] <JontheEchidna> sure
[19:23] <NCommander> JontheEchidna, http://paste.ubuntu.com/53510/
[19:25] <JontheEchidna> I'd change "Launchs adept in updater more which is a streamlined interface for handling updating the system." to "Launches adept in updater mode which offers a streamlined interface for handling package updates"
[19:25] <JontheEchidna> more -> mode in any case
[19:25] <JontheEchidna> other than that, lookin' good
[19:28] <NCommander> \o/!
[19:28] <NCommander> JontheEchidna, do you work on adept in Debian?
[19:28] <JontheEchidna> nope
[19:28] <JontheEchidna> I don't really do anything in Debian tbh
[19:29] <NCommander> v.v
[19:29] <JontheEchidna> <.<
[19:29] <NCommander> ^.6
[19:29] <NCommander> argh
[19:29] <NCommander> so much for IRC DDR
[19:34] <NCommander> Riddell, care to sponsor an upload giving adept a manpage?
[19:35] <Riddell> NCommander: can do yes
[19:35] <NCommander> \o/
[19:35] <rgreening> NCommander/Riddell: I am also workng on adding the missing help lines to adept. will have debdiff shortly.
[19:36] <NCommander> rgreening, if you just want to roll my mainpage into your patch, we could do tat, make it a single upload
[19:36] <rgreening> sure.
[19:40] <rgreening> sweet. adept help now more helpful
[19:41] <NCommander> \o/
[19:41] <rgreening> Riddell: how do we handle the strings for translations?
[19:41] <jjesse> rgreening: did you write a help manual for adept?
[19:41] <NCommander> rgreening, I forwarded it to Debian so they should benefit from it too
[19:41] <NCommander> jjesse, no, I did
[19:41] <jjesse> NCommander: really?
[19:42] <jjesse> that's awesome, i've had one i'm been working on in a branch but haven't had time to complete it
[19:42] <rgreening> jjesse: I added the command line help to adept.
[19:42] <jjesse> not a full manual?
[19:42] <rgreening> NCommander did the man
[19:42] <NCommander> jjesse, no, I wrote a manpage
[19:42] <jjesse> oh cool, mind if i borrow from your man page to compete the manual then?
[19:43] <jjesse> i would totally credit you
[19:43] <NCommander> jjesse, go for it
[19:43]  * NCommander didn't even take credit in the manpage for writing it :-)
[19:45] <Riddell> rgreening: depends on the context
[19:45] <rgreening> NCommander... got your e-mail. so, looks like I'll need to integrate it with adept. Did you already do that (i.e. have a diff/debdiff?)
[19:45] <NCommander> no
[19:45] <NCommander> I just finished writing it
[19:46] <Riddell> rgreening: what are the missing help lines?
[19:46] <NCommander> If you want me to do that, finish your work, upload, then ping me
[19:46] <rgreening> Riddell: see paste here... http://paste.ubuntu.com/53514/
[19:47] <rgreening> NCommander: no problem. Was just curious.
[19:47] <rgreening> Riddell: are the strings ok, or do you want to fiddle with them?
[19:47] <rgreening> Riddell: there was no command line help in Adept for the installer or updater command lines
[19:48] <rgreening> this fixes. tested and verified
[19:49] <Riddell> rgreening: that's fine, would be nice if there was a way to say that no command will launch the manager
[19:49]  * NCommander looks at his RS/6000
[19:49] <rgreening> true. thought about that one. Let me read over main.cpp some more....
[19:50] <Riddell> rgreening: the translations get extracted into a .pot file at build time which gets put into rosetta where people can translate it
[19:50] <rgreening> kool.
[19:50] <Riddell> normally we wouldn't update strings this late but rosetta doesn't even have many strings imported so it's moot
[19:50] <rgreening> and this isn't a showstopper anyway.
[19:55] <Riddell> NCommander: where's your patch?
[19:58] <NCommander> Riddell, emailed
[19:59]  * apachelogger notes that he once again managed to create the most bizzare code block
[19:59] <rgreening> kubotu: fact #3
[19:59] <kubotu> fact #3 of 6: JontheEchidna needs moar coffeeee [from JontheEchidna!n=jonathan@ubuntu/member/jontheechidna on Wed Oct 01 23:27:52 +0300 2008 in #kubuntu-bunker]
[19:59] <rgreening> nope.. wrong fact
[19:59] <rgreening> kubotu: fact #4
[19:59] <kubotu> fact #4 of 6: smarter is not smarter [from<EMAIL_ADDRESS>on Wed Oct 01 23:28:23 +0300 2008 in #kubuntu-bunker]
[20:00] <rgreening> nope..
[20:00] <JontheEchidna> kubotu: facts about rgreening
[20:00] <kubotu> [2/6] rgreening buries head in sand
[20:00] <rgreening> :)
[20:02] <apachelogger> http://paste.ubuntu.com/53517/ \o/
[20:03] <rgreening> Riddell: let me know if this looks good and about the wording: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53518/
[20:03] <Riddell> rgreening: great
[20:04] <rgreening> Ok, NCommander sent me the man page. Not sure how to integrate man pages yet... do you want me to send the diff for this now or wait until I get the manpage figured out..
[20:04]  * NCommander can wait ;-)
[20:05] <JontheEchidna> Riddell, ScottK: bug 277258 needs sponsoring
[20:05] <rgreening> Riddell ^ see my last about the manpage
[20:05]  * ScottK looks
[20:05] <Riddell> rgreening: it depends in what format the manpage is
[20:06] <rgreening> hmm... NCommander e-mailed you I believe the same as I got
[20:06] <rgreening> Riddell: ^
[20:06] <rgreening> I'll send the debdiff for what I just changed...
[20:07] <NCommander> Riddell, raw man :-)
[20:07] <NCommander> (aka nroff)
[20:08] <Riddell> just needs a debian/manpages file then with the name of the manpage
[20:09] <rgreening> oh. ok, I'll test that
[20:09] <rgreening> and send with my change.
[20:12] <ScottK> JontheEchidna: I'll sponsor it.  I had to redo debian/changelog because apachelogger already uploaded ubuntu2.
[20:13] <JontheEchidna> oh, and then it merged changelogs
[20:13] <JontheEchidna> meh
[20:14] <apachelogger> ...if we were using bzr ... and bzr would read debian/changelog before trying to merge ... this stuff wouldn't happen
[20:15] <ScottK> apachelogger: No, you'd be sitting there waiting for it to finish updating instead of doing actual work.
[20:16] <apachelogger> ... if bzr was written with sensible design and language ... we wouldn't have to be sitting
[20:17] <apachelogger> ScottK: It's not like bzr is eating your CPU, is it?
[20:17] <ScottK> No, it's the upload/download with LP that takes an eternity.
[20:17] <apachelogger> well, I usually do other stuff while bzr is at work, so I barely notice
[20:25] <Riddell> ScottK: let me know if your upload gets accepted
[20:30] <ScottK> Riddell: Will do.
[20:30] <ScottK> Test build is still building ...
[20:30] <rgreening> Riddell: I created the manpages dir and put the manpage in a filed named adept. Never built/installed it. missing something?
[20:32] <Riddell> should be called adept.1
[20:32] <Riddell> the file should be called  manpages and contain one line with the name of the manpage file
[20:33] <Riddell> debian/adept.1
[20:33] <Riddell> for example
[20:33] <rgreening> ah
[20:33]  * rgreening slaps his forehead
[20:33] <Riddell> man dh_installman
[20:33] <rgreening> good to know
[20:34] <rgreening> ty
[20:46] <rgreening> Riddell: adept diff sent
[20:47] <rgreening> ok, offline ofr a few hours. l8r
[20:55] <Riddell> apachelogger: hmm, amarok 2 beta doesn't start here
[20:55] <Riddell> <unknown program name>(4831)/: Communication problem with  "amarok" , it probably crashed.
[20:59] <Riddell> JontheEchidna, NCommander: that's the adept upload done
[21:00] <JontheEchidna> :D
[21:00] <JontheEchidna> Thanks Riddell
[21:00] <NCommander> \o\ /o/ |o\
[21:01] <JontheEchidna> |o| <- Tie Fighter
[21:02] <Riddell> tooltips are up too incase you missed that
[21:08] <smarter> ooh, http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/ is greener
[21:09] <JontheEchidna> Does that mean KDe's new color is green?
[21:12] <ScottK> kde4libs is still building and I'm heading out for a while.
[22:16] <apachelogger> JontheEchidna: are you going to blog about 4.1.2?
[22:16] <JontheEchidna> Sure
[22:20] <apachelogger> perfect
[22:21]  * apachelogger stops ruby haxx0ring and goes cuddling
[22:22] <ScottK> TMI thank you very much.
[22:23] <Riddell> apachelogger: who's getting cuddles?
[22:29] <ScottK> JontheEchidna: kde4libs uploaded.  Thank you for your contribution to Kubuntu.
[22:29] <JontheEchidna> ScottK: you're welcome
[22:29] <JontheEchidna> way easier to do than tooltips :P
[22:30] <ScottK> ;=).
[22:30] <ScottK> Yes, well that tooltips one is a huge deal for me, I really appreciate it.
[22:34] <ScottK> Riddell: I got accepted mail for my upload.
[22:36] <ScottK> Looks like kdegraphics is stuck in New.
[22:37] <ScottK> Riddell: Did you upload the kdebase-workspace update with the tooltips change?
[22:38] <ScottK> If you did, it looks to me like Soyuz ate it.
[23:49] <JontheEchidna> ScottK: workspace finally went through
[23:52] <JontheEchidna> Get:27 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main qt4-doc 4.4.3-0ubuntu1 [52.8MB]
[23:52] <JontheEchidna> dang, that's big
