[00:16] <smallfoot-> plz package php-gtk
[01:11] <smallfoot-> plz package php-gtk
[01:16] <kklimonda> smallfoot-: the project is all but dead and with the upcoming gtk+3 release and all the gobject introspection work that goes along with it I fear that uploading the current version right now wouldn't make sense. Not to mention that there is no one who is interested in packaging it.
[01:20] <smallfoot-> kklimonda, but i need php-gtk for running gui of phoronix-test-suite
[01:22] <kklimonda> yes, and that is probably the only realworld application that uses php-gtk bindings. You will have to ask phoronix guys how to install php=gtk (or check its homepage). There may also be some 3rd party ppa with it - have you ckecked?
[01:30] <smallfoot-> there is a ppa but only for karmic, not lucid, maverick
[01:30] <smallfoot-> and i dont want use third-party ppa or install from source, i want it "just work"
[06:39] <Muscovy> Hi, I'm the uploader of http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/day-of-ubuntu . Would anyone mind helping me solve the lintian error? I haven't been able to fix this one without creating more.
[06:40] <kklimonda> Muscovy: what errors do you get when you remove NMU?
[06:41] <Muscovy> It's been a while since I tried, so I'll test. I _think_ it mentions it needs NMU.
[06:42] <ebroder> Muscovy: What version of Lintian are you using? It should know not to whine about NMUs if the maintainer is set to ubuntu-devel-discuss
[06:43] <Muscovy> I think I had set it to the development team as the owner.
[06:44] <Muscovy> Also, is there an easy way to download it all from revu? I can't seem to find my local copy anymore.
[06:44] <ebroder> dget <.dsc file>
[06:46] <Muscovy> Thanks, that's handy.
[06:46] <ebroder> (It only works if all the files are in the same, err, URL directory, or whatever)
[06:46] <ebroder> (But that's usually the case)
[06:46] <Muscovy> So is it ubuntu-devel-discuss with no address?
[06:46] <ebroder> Muscovy: Sorry, no - what you've got should be good. Just remove the NMU note from the changelog
[06:47] <Muscovy> Ok.
[06:52] <Muscovy> Ok, it's uploading. It'll take a few minutes.
[06:58] <Muscovy> Here we are, ebroder: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/revu1-incoming/day-of-ubuntu-1008220757/lintian
[06:58]  * ebroder squints
[06:58] <Muscovy> Two complaints: 3.0 format and no README.
[06:59] <ebroder> I have a theory
[06:59] <ebroder> Muscovy: Are you doing development on a Lucid or Maverick machine/VM/chroot/whatever?
[06:59] <Muscovy> Lucid machine.
[06:59] <ebroder> And do you get those warnings when you run Lintian on your package?
[06:59] <Muscovy> Nope.
[07:00] <Muscovy> I get "W: day-of-ubuntu source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.3 (current is 3.8.4)".
[07:00] <ebroder> Ok. In that case, I blame revu for being a really old machine
[07:00] <ebroder> (You should bump the standards version, though)
[07:00] <Muscovy> I tried that before, actually.
[07:00] <Muscovy> Revu said 3.8.4 didn't exist.
[07:01] <ebroder> Yeah. That's because Revu is running Hardy, and it didn't exist then :)
[07:01] <Muscovy> Ah. Why isn't 3.8.4 a lucid update though?
[07:01] <Muscovy> 3.8.3 is still the lucid default.
[07:02] <ebroder> Packages update their standards version when they get around to it. Do you mean that 3.8.3 is what you get from dh_make or something?
[07:02] <Muscovy> Yes.
[07:02] <ebroder> Yeah. It probably just wasn't updated when Lucid was syncing from Debian
[07:06] <kklimonda> the current policy is 3.9.1 so you should update your package to it
[07:07] <kklimonda> (by update I mean actually checking if there were changes affecting your package - there is a nice upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in debian-policy package)
[07:09] <ebroder> Speaking of which, it's *really* silly that REVU is still running on a Hardy sparc box. What are the current hardware requirements for the site (disk, etc)? Surely someone else has some - any - spare capacity...
[07:10] <micahg> ebroder: can't upgrade w/sparc to lucid...
[07:10] <ebroder> micahg: Right. The sparc bit is the bit that's silly
[07:18] <Muscovy> There, it's up: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/day-of-ubuntu
[07:51] <wgrant> ebroder: We can move it elswhere. But there's no really compelling reason to do so yet.
[07:51] <wgrant> But it was discussed last week.
[07:51] <ebroder> wgrant: "Having an ancient version of Lintian that misfires errors at you" doesn't count as a compelling reason? :)
[07:52] <Muscovy> I agree with that.
[07:52] <Muscovy> And it can't use debian 3.0 format.
[07:56] <wgrant> Muscovy: That just requires backporting a new lintian, which we've historically done often.
[07:56] <wgrant> Er, ebroder: ^^
[07:57] <wgrant> Muscovy: And a dpkg backport was in progress last week.
[07:57] <Muscovy> Ah, progress. :D
[07:57] <ebroder> I guess that works then
[07:57] <wgrant> It just requires somebody to care for REVU.
[07:57] <wgrant> I can move it onto different hardware if required, but others need to maintain the service.
[07:58] <Muscovy> Well, if I become a MOTU, I'll certain help if possible.
[07:58] <Muscovy> Revu feels under-utilized.
[07:58] <ebroder> wgrant: Hmm...if you're looking for MOTU volunteers, I might be interested, but I'll have to get back to you once I think about what I'm getting myself into
[08:01] <wgrant> Well, there are others in control of the service.
[08:01] <wgrant> I'm not looking for anyone.
[08:01] <wgrant> I was mainly responding to the questioning of whether there was other hardware.
[08:04]  * micahg prepares an upload to feed the hungry builders
[08:05] <wgrant> ia64 and sparc are going to be eternally hungry soon :(
[08:05] <micahg> wgrant: nah, we just have to start backporting and SRUing more :)
[08:05] <wgrant> Heh.
[08:14] <micahg> should .pc be in the VCS for soruce format 3?
[08:29] <micahg> wgrant: ^^
[08:34] <Zhenech> hyperair, ping
[08:38] <tumbleweed> micahg: I wish it wasn't but the auto-imported packages tend to be stored patches-applied, yes
[08:39] <micahg> tumbleweed: that's what I'm wondering, the Debian version has it, so I should include in Ubuntu version too?
[08:39] <tumbleweed> "the debian version" ?
[08:39] <micahg> lp:debian/sid/foo
[08:39] <tumbleweed> aah
[08:40] <maco> is there any reason why it would be a bad idea for /etc/bashrc to by default have "export QUILT_PATCHES='debian/patches'" to save *headdesks* later for us all on new installs?
[08:40] <micahg> maco: because not all packages work like that
[08:40] <maco> dang
[08:41] <tumbleweed> maco: time to store your .quiltrc in $vcs and write a new install personal-customisation script?
[08:42] <maco> i dont have a .quiltrc...i just put that in my .bashrc and then setup VMs and forget to do it there too and then get confused
[08:43] <maco> i was asking seb128 the other day how he got gnome-control-center to compile when quilt push -a fails... and he reminded me
[08:44] <bilalakhtar> maco: how was it?
[08:44] <maco> bilalakhtar: i forgot to set QUILT_PATCHES
[08:44] <bilalakhtar> ah ok
[08:45] <AnAnt> Hello
[08:45] <micahg> tumbleweed: when merging with VCS, does every merge change need to be a new commit w/source format 3 or all in one?
[08:46] <tumbleweed> micahg: that's up to personal style, I tend to do them in one commit (or a few commits in a branch, merged into one commit in the UDD tree)
[08:46] <tumbleweed> (if I'm understanding you correctly(
[08:47] <micahg> tumbleweed: yeah, the changes should all be present though
[08:47] <micahg> just patches if necessary aren't applied
[08:47] <micahg> in ,oc
[08:48] <micahg> or rather in the code..
[08:49] <tumbleweed> people like patches-applied because you can see the final source in the tree, and $vcs blame it appropriately. I don't like it, because it makes reviewing harder and obfuscates things (often resulting in auto-generated anti-patches, when people are new to quilt)
[08:53] <micahg> tumbleweed: also, should I put the Ubuntu VCS info or leave the Debian VCS info
[08:54] <tumbleweed> only if we maintain our own packaging of this in a VCS somewhere
[08:54] <micahg> tumbleweed: not UDD?
[08:54] <tumbleweed> well, all packages have UDD branches
[08:55] <micahg> tumbleweed: no, most packages have UDD branches
[08:55] <tumbleweed> and few packages are actually maintained in them (you don't see new versions being prepared in them)
[08:55] <tumbleweed> basically, I'd say leave the debian vcs info
[08:55] <micahg> tumbleweed: k
[08:55] <hyperair> Zhenech: pong
[08:56] <Zhenech> hyperair, talked with enrico at froscon yesterday
[08:56] <hyperair> oh cool
[08:56] <Zhenech> hyperair, the safest way to get plugins 0.19 in is not to ship any of the new plugins :)
[08:56] <hyperair> eh?
[08:57] <hyperair> oh, into squeeze?
[08:57] <Zhenech> yepp
[08:57] <hyperair> okay.
[08:57] <Zhenech> dunno how the release team thinks about new binaries
[08:57] <Zhenech> will ask later today
[08:57] <hyperair> okay, thanks.
[08:57] <bilalakhtar> hi hyperair seeing you after so long
[08:57] <Zhenech> have a patch on my hd to do this already :)
[08:58] <hyperair> bilalakhtar: it's only been a week =)
[08:58] <hyperair> Zhenech: a patch to drop the new binaries?
[08:58] <Zhenech> yepp
[08:58] <hyperair> i see.
[08:58] <hyperair> that's nice
[08:59] <hyperair> speaking of which i need to get round to adding --enable/disable flags for each plugin, instead of those with weird dependencies.
[08:59] <Zhenech> yepp! :)
[08:59] <hyperair> wait, you mean the patch does all that?
[09:00] <Zhenech> no
[09:00] <Zhenech> my patch just drops ctpl build dep
[09:00] <Zhenech> and drops the packages from debian/control
[09:00] <Zhenech> so they are built but never installed
[09:02] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: As for bug #621065 , seb128 told me that we can go ahead without FFe since its a GNOME package
[09:04] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: am I right ?
[09:05] <tumbleweed> sounds fair enough
[09:06] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: GNOME packages can be updated until version 2.32 rolls out
[09:06] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: Its not fair to freeze on an unstable release like 2.31.* and not upgrade to the stable ones
[09:07] <tumbleweed> yeah, sounds good
[09:10] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: And, we are uploading this version even though the package is maintained in Debian, because of the fact that Debian will straightaway upload 2.32 while Ubuntu needs to go in a more progressive way (seb128)
[09:11] <micahg> bilalakhtar: some of the debian maintainers will upload the 2.31.x releases to experimental
[09:21] <hyperair> Zhenech: i see. that sounds feasible.
[09:21] <hyperair> Zhenech: could you pastebin the patch somewhere so i can apply it? =)
[09:33] <bilalakhtar> Thanks tumbleweed for the upload!
[09:58] <tumbleweed> bilalakhtar: any time
[10:01] <micahg> tumbleweed: with MoM down, UDD is a lifeaver
[10:01] <micahg> *lifesaver
[10:01] <tumbleweed> micahg: are you using my merge tool?
[10:02] <micahg> tumbleweed: no
[10:02] <tumbleweed> micahg: :)
[10:03] <micahg> tumbleweed: sorry, this was same upstream revision so it was an easy merge :)
[10:55] <Zhenech> hyperair, i also could just commit myself :)
[10:56] <Zhenech> hyperair, but I mail debian-release first :)
[11:09] <shadeslayer> hi, how do i request a sync from debian experimental?
[11:10] <shadeslayer> i tried : requestsync foo -d experimental  -e
[11:10] <shadeslayer> doesnt work :/
[11:16] <geser> error?
[11:16] <shadeslayer> E: 'kmymoney' doesn't appear to exist in Debian 'experimental'
[11:17] <shadeslayer> http://packages.debian.org/experimental/kmymoney
[11:17] <ajmitch> shadeslayer: possibly because it was uploaded in the last 24h?
[11:17] <geser> it was uploaded today
[11:17] <shadeslayer> oh
[11:17] <shadeslayer> yes i know
[11:17] <shadeslayer> so it doesnt pick it up
[11:17] <shadeslayer> ddidnt know that ^ :P
[11:17] <ajmitch> no, it grabs the info from a mirror that's regularly synced (daily iirc)
[11:17] <shadeslayer> hmm
[11:17] <geser> requestsync only knows what's in LP or reported by rmadison
[11:18] <shadeslayer> rmadison ?
[11:18] <shadeslayer> debian mirror ?
[11:18] <geser> a script from devscripts
[11:18] <shadeslayer> oic
[11:20] <geser> http://qa.debian.org/madison.php?package=kmymoney
[11:20] <geser> hmm, the snapshot seems a little bit out-of-date
[11:22] <micahg> geser: yeah, I"m having that with phpmyadmin also
[11:26] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: Hello! Would you recommend me to apply for MOTU now or wait?
[12:02] <tumbleweed> bilalakhtar: drop me a mail with a list of spnsorships I've done for you, and I'll be able to give you an answer (we need a script for this, I tried writing one but can't get the data I need out of lp's API)
[12:27] <persia> tumbleweed, You can parse the data out of the -changes mail
[12:28] <tumbleweed> persia: yeah, I suppose that's the best way
[13:01] <AnAnt> persia: hey, long time !
[16:30] <Rhonda> Is the last change in bug #619650 someone just looking for easy karma? :)
[16:33] <nigelb> Rhonda: Possible. I don't see him/her in bug squad.
[16:34] <nigelb> (the entire thing is not needed I think.  Generally bug squad is encouraged to stay away from workflow bugs)
[17:14] <anoteng> which package am I missing when I get the following error during source package building?
[17:14] <anoteng> dpkg-source: error: source package format `3.0' is not supported (Perl module Dpkg::Source::Package::V3 is required)
[17:17] <Bachstelze> could an SRU person look at #622319 ?
[17:18] <tumbleweed> Bachstelze: subscribe ubuntu-sponsors. It also needs a maverick fix before the SRU can be approved
[17:18] <Flannel> anoteng: dpkg-dev
[17:19] <Bachstelze> tumbleweed: ok, done
[17:20] <tumbleweed> Bachstelze: you also want to Nominate for Lucid
[17:20] <anoteng> Flannel:  I thought so too, but it's allready installed...
[17:21] <Flannel> anoteng: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[17:21] <Bachstelze> tumbleweed: also Maverick?
[17:21] <tumbleweed> Bachstelze: not necessary
[17:21] <anoteng> 10.04
[17:24] <geser> what the content of debian/source/format?
[17:30] <ari-tczew> Rhonda: I think that it's pedantic.
[17:36] <ari-tczew> nigelb: so upgrade dspam must be gigantic procedure
[17:37] <nigelb> ari-tczew: I dunno.
[17:37] <nigelb> I just looked at the debian ML
[17:37] <ari-tczew> nigelb: IIRC they are upgrading 3 years this package
[17:37] <nigelb> ari-tczew: well, it is in experimental
[17:37] <nigelb> I think it broke some stuff
[17:39] <ari-tczew> nigelb: some time ago I tried to do this, but it's true, it's very hard to do.
[17:40] <nigelb> ari-tczew: In that case, we cannot blame them.  Everyone's a volunteer.
[17:40] <nigelb> I myself was away from cleansweep for some time until I could finally schedule my work around it now.
[17:41] <ari-tczew> yea
[20:12] <funkeyDuder> I am having trouble building a package.  When I change the source I get an error about failing some test (using debuild).  Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on?
[20:23] <bilalakhtar> tumbleweed: I mailed you the list of bugs
[21:10] <andrew_708476> IS there anyone that doesn't mind lending a hand with Ubuntu
[21:10] <ari-tczew> funkeyDuder: give a log - use pastebin
[21:11] <ari-tczew> dupondje: ping
[21:12] <dupondje> pong :)
[21:13] <ari-tczew> dupondje: are you still interesed contribute to Ubuntu?
[21:13] <dupondje> sure sure :) but bit less time atm :)
[21:14] <ari-tczew> dupondje: we have to finish patching asterisk, do you remember?
[21:14] <ari-tczew> it's still waiting on my hard disk :)
[21:18] <dupondje> what was not correct with it again ? :)
[21:25] <ari-tczew> dupondje: please tab me if you are writing to me.
[21:25] <ari-tczew> it will easy for me
[21:27] <ari-tczew> dupondje: you have to complete file CVE-2007-6170.dpatch
[21:27] <ari-tczew> there is no DEP3 tags
[21:27] <ari-tczew> there are no *
[22:02] <AnAnt> Hello
[22:16] <ari-tczew> hello AnAnt
[22:23] <micahg> is conflicts appropriate when if one package is installed, the other will not work?
[22:23] <micahg> in that they provide similar functionality
[22:30] <debfx> micahg: yes, if they really don't work when the other is installed
[22:30] <micahg> debfx: k, filing the bug in Debian...

[05:48] <n8k99> how's school going?
[05:49] <nixternal> not bad actually...I was expecting worse seeing as I am taking 3 advanced programming courses at the same time...but luckily my java instructor is stupid, so we aren't learning anything that would confuse my other studies :)
[05:49] <coreymon77> n8k99: guess what?
[05:50] <n8k99> what coreymon77
[05:50] <n8k99> that's awesome nixternal

[05:59] <coreymon77> daSkreech: is that one of those pages of "how to keep an idiot busy"
[05:59] <nixternal> n8k99: that is supposed to be http://projecteuler.net
[05:59] <n8k99> oh right thanks
[06:00] <daSkreech> coreymon77: take a look at it
[06:00] <coreymon77> daSkreech: because it keeps on going back to the same "document has moved here" page
[06:00] <coreymon77> so i take it it is
[06:00] <daSkreech> coreymon77: the link I sent you?
[06:03] <n8k99> nixternal: so how far along have you gotten with this?
[06:03] <nixternal> I am on #15 right now
[06:04] <n8k99> are you working in ordr/

[06:07] <coreymon77> it keeps on returning me to the same, this document has moved here page
[06:07] <coreymon77> and every time i click here it goes back to the same page
[06:07] <daSkreech> coreymon77: http://www.onehorseshy.com/lowbrow/guess_what_chicken_butt/
[06:08] <coreymon77> i saw

[09:33] <mhb> coreymon77: you're awake again? :o)
[09:33] <coreymon77> mhb: isnt it interesting how timezones do that
[09:33] <coreymon77> mhb: i was just about to leave, you know, last minute checks of irc before you close it and go to bed
[09:33] <mhb> coreymon77: true, although it is a bit bothersome, especially when you want to work together with people from different TZ
[09:34] <coreymon77> no shit
[09:34] <coreymon77> anyways
[09:34] <coreymon77> goodnight
[09:34] <mhb> night coreymon77
[09:37] <_StefanS_> morning kids
[09:37] <_StefanS_> :D
[09:37] <_StefanS_> Jucato!
[09:37] <_StefanS_> why arent you sleeping ?
[09:38] <mhb> _StefanS_: how can you be sure he's not sleeping?
[09:39] <_StefanS_> my psychic powers :D
[09:39] <_StefanS_> nah he's always up late
[10:28] <sahin_w> gwenview 1.4.2 just released...
[10:28] <sahin_w> Is there any chance to include it to Gutsy?
[10:28] <mhb> sahin_w: no
[10:29] <sahin_w> mhb: Ok.
[10:35] <Jucato> mhb: http://imagepaste.nulldigital.net/viewimage.php?id=312
[10:36] <Jucato> (_Stefan_'s psychic powers were wrong... I *was* sleeping :P)
[10:37] <mhb> Jucato: my psychic powers are unrivaled :o)
[10:37] <Jucato> heheh
[10:38] <mhb> hi Hobbsee
[10:39] <mhb> Jucato: could you post the image then?
[10:39] <Jucato> post where?
[10:39] <mhb> Jucato: you have a website, don't you? Or bayimg or anywhere...
[10:39] <Jucato> that link isn't enough?
[10:40] <mhb> Jucato: he dcced it to you
[10:40] <Jucato> I couldn't receive the DCC
[10:40] <Jucato> so he just posted it in imagepaste
[10:40] <Jucato> the link to which I gave above
[10:41] <mhb> Jucato: here? I must be either blind or it happened when my connection slipped for a minute?
[10:41] <Jucato> [16:35]  <Jucato> mhb: http://imagepaste.nulldigital.net/viewimage.php?id=312
[10:41] <Jucato> it was immediately before I said something about _Stefan_'s psychic powers
[10:41] <mhb> Jucato: ah, yes
[10:42] <mhb> Jucato: I am blind
[10:42] <Jucato> apparently :)
[10:42] <Jucato> now, since I just woke up.. I'm looking for someone to eat
[10:42] <Jucato> bbl
[11:29] <Jucato> Hobbsee: you need an even bigger, pointier, and doomier stick for that :)
[11:33] <Jucato> hehe :)
[11:34] <Hobbsee> voice recognition, etc, software is only ever any good if it actually gets the correct information *across*.
[11:35] <marseillai> arfffff changelog says feisty-backport for release and not feisty
[11:45] <mhb> hmm, I've got a strange problem here - Apple MacBook brightness can be changed in Ubuntu, but cannot in Kubuntu.
[11:45] <mhb> what can I do to fix it?
[11:45] <mhb> I mean - is there someone who has knowledge of both KDE and HAL/these things?
[12:03] <huats> I am actually trying to have a lok at bug #121984
[12:03] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 121984 in kdepim "kandy: no icon in kubuntu feisty's kde menu" [Wishlist,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/121984
[12:03] <huats> f I understood correctly the idea is to nt dupplicate stuffs... so let the icons in the kdeartwork-theme-icon package and not ship them with the kandy package...
[12:03] <huats> but the kdeartwork-theme-icon install icons in usr/share/icons/ikons/XXxXX/icons which is not a path where the icons for installed applications .. or am I missing something ?
[12:03] <huats> can anybody explain me a bit the way of processing ?
[12:43] <mhb> kwwii: I am surprised, some pretty neat stuff at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/GutsyIdeas
[12:43] <kwwii> mhb: yeah, looks like we are getting the community back on track
[12:44] <Hobbsee> ooh, i like waves.jpg there
[12:44] <Jucato> (still brown yay! :P)
[12:44] <Jucato> leather? hahah! :)
[12:45] <Jucato> brownfluid and redbrownatomspin... I like those...
[12:46] <Jucato> hey those from troy_s are good too... the solar one + the ubuntu logo would probably be nice...
[12:47] <Jucato> hey that's an idea... why not make the wallpapers use the animal metaphor too :)
[12:48] <mhb> Jucato: that's one of the reasons why I like the elephant ... it's blue, it's nice, it is African
[12:49] <kwwii> Jucato: http://meglyman.deviantart.com/art/Gutsy-Gibbon-64270409
[12:49] <testing> hola chicos
[12:49] <Jucato> kwwii: lol! hahaha
[12:49] <Jucato> roflmao
[12:49] <kwwii> hola chica
[12:49] <kwwii> Jucato: she has paintings for all the older names as wel
[12:49] <Jucato> er.. lots of clones
[12:52] <mhb> kwwii: I guess we can't make the elephant default for kubuntu, can we? :D nah, just kidding. I don't want to be Just Another Developer That Talks Into Artwork :o)
[12:53] <Jucato> and what's wrong with that? :)
[12:53] <mhb> Jucato: right, I sometimes do talk into it... but I respect The Artist
[12:54] <Jucato> you say it like you can't be both developer and artist. :)
[12:55] <mhb> Jucato: sometimes you can, unfortunately I'm not
[12:55] <Jucato> aw.. too modest :P
[12:56] <mhb> Jucato: no, really. I envy those guys that can say "oh, let's do an elephant-skin-like wallpaper" and just do it
[01:00] <mhb> kwwii: is it alright to blog about some images on the Artwork/Incoming or should I rather wait until Gutsy Final?
[01:01] <Jucato> would be nice to get all those artwork ideas up in *buntu-look.org
[01:20] <kwwii> mhb: sure, blog away :-)
[01:52] <mhb> nixternal: pokey
[01:53] <mhb> nixternal: I'd like to translate the Kubuntu Welcome Page in Firefox, where can I do that?
[02:03] <mhb> oh my, the login screen with the elephant background is so beautiful!
[02:38] <huats> sorry to insist but I might need a litlle help.... i am trying to solve  bug #121984, and I just need an answer to be sure that I am not doing something wrong .... so far all related kandy icons are included in kdeartwork-theme-icon... but inside kdeartwork-theme-icon nothing is going to install a kandy icon on /usr/share/app-install/icons ... So I was wondering if I can do just like it is...
[02:38] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 121984 in kdepim "kandy: no icon in kubuntu feisty's kde menu" [Wishlist,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/121984
[02:38] <huats> ...done  for kpilot, i-e to provide an icon inside the kandy package... Is it correct ? I don't know since it is dupplicating icons...
[02:50] <jjesse> morning :)
[02:51] <Jucato> moin jjesse!
[02:51] <jjesse> how are you Jucato?
[02:51] <Jucato> feeling (a bit) better. thank you :)
[02:52] <jjesse> glad you are feeling (a bit) better
[02:52] <Jucato> heheh
[02:53] <mhb> hi jjesse
[02:54] <jjesse> hello mhb
[03:04] <jjesse> are there kde4 beta pacakges available for gutsy or ?
[03:04] <Jucato> !kde4
[03:04] <ubotu> KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4>. The Release Schedule is available at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule. Beta 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta2.php
[03:05] <jjesse> thanks ubotu
[03:05] <jjesse> thanks Jucato
[03:05] <Jucato> hehehe :)
[03:06] <jjesse> so by default the pacakges are in gutsy then? or do i still have install kdebase-workspace?
[03:10] <Jucato> kdebase-workspace I think
[03:17] <mhb> Jucato: could you do me a favor and test if the print screen button works in kdm?
[03:18] <mhb> Jucato: because every recipe on the net I've seen (and tested) doesn't work
[03:18] <Jucato> um... from memory, I don't think it does...
[03:18] <Jucato> hold on a sec..
[03:19] <mhb> Jucato: I would assume that, but I cannot test it myself
[03:20] <Jucato> doesn't work for me. sorry
[03:31] <mhb> Jucato: nevermind, I managed to take the screenshot
[03:31] <mhb> Jucato: thanks
[03:31] <Jucato> oh. nice :)
[03:50] <viviersf> is there any plan to remove some of the unneeded "kde" menu entries ?
[03:55] <viviersf> i have entries for : input actions, keyboard, keyboard layout etc
[03:55] <viviersf> isnt it supposed to be accessed via system settings
[03:56] <Jucato> in the K menu?
[04:10] <manchicken> So there seems to have been a decision made to put enabled compiz on Ubuntu by default, and I'm wondering if a similar decision has been made with Kubuntu.
[04:11] <Jucato> enabled? O.o
[04:11] <viviersf> Jucato, well i get them in gnome on my other pc :(
[04:11] <viviersf> but gnome and kde acts the same to those :(
[04:11] <viviersf> hold
[04:11] <viviersf> maby its my fault
[04:11] <Hobbsee> manchicken: pft.
[04:11] <manchicken> I don't know about how well compiz works for Ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to be quite there yet for Kubuntu.  I get the feeling that compiz folks will be waiting for KDE4 before working too much with KDE, which I think is kinda to their detriment.
[04:11] <Hobbsee> manchicken: we like our cds stable, thanks.
[04:11] <Jucato> viviersf: you are seeing these menu items in GNOME's menu?
[04:12] <manchicken> Hobbsee: Well if compiz folks were actually focusing on KDE3 stability, I'm sure it'd be much better.
[04:12] <Hobbsee> manchicken: kde4 has composite, so...
[04:12] <Hobbsee> manchicken: oh, true.  but they dont, so...
[04:13] <manchicken> Hobbsee: Well I'd also like every GNOME user who uses compiz that claims KDE has hard-to-use configs to now stand up and apologize, as compiz is ridiculously difficult to configure.
[04:13] <Hobbsee> hehe
[04:13] <viviersf> Jucato, yes, and i just checked the .desktop files and they are set to show :(
[04:13] <manchicken> I used it for a while, and it does seem mostly stable.
[04:13] <Hobbsee> yeah.  it's a sort of kde + gconf scenario, which makes it a pain
[04:13] <manchicken> I stopped using it for its glaring omissions of functionality more than its stability.
[04:13] <manchicken> This concept of "viewports" needs to be done away with.
[04:14] <manchicken> We've already got virtual desktops.  We should stick with what is already there and what is already supported.
[04:14] <Jucato> btw, "workspaces" = GNOME's virtual desktops... but the whole workspace -> viewport -> virtual desktop mess is what's driving me against compiz/beryl
[04:15] <Jucato> but in Compiz+GNOME I think viewport and workspace work together, 1 workspace = 1 viewport. not so with KDE
[04:16] <manchicken> Jucato: Really?  I was under the impression that a viewport was its own thing entirely.
[04:16] <manchicken> Jucato: It makes more sense if what you say is the case.
[04:16] <bddebian> Heya
[04:17] <Jucato> in KDE I think it was 1 viewport = 4 virtual desktops... so if you had 4 viewports (since you'd think they translate to virtual desktops) you'd have 16 of those things...
[04:17] <Jucato> but still 4 viewports/faces of the cube..
[04:17] <Jucato> it's a bit confusing iirc...
[04:22] <manchicken> Jucato: No, in KDE 1 viewport is independent of desktops.  You can have 8 viewports if you like.
[04:22] <manchicken> It's X number of viewports on N number of desktops.  Each desktop has X number of viewports.
[04:22] <manchicken> And it makes no freaking sense.
[04:22] <Jucato> or something like that :)
[04:22] <manchicken> compiz won't manage the virtual desktops.
[04:22] <manchicken> Just the viewports.
[04:23] <manchicken> It needs to just get rid of viewports and stick with virtual desktops.
[04:23] <Jucato> neither does beryl afaik...
[04:23] <manchicken> I think Beryl is being abandoned.
[04:23] <manchicken> It's "compiz-fusion" now.
[04:23] <Hobbsee> manchicken: they merged, rather than abandoning
[04:23] <Jucato> hehe same banana :)
[04:24] <Jucato> they both don't "Just work" with KDE
[04:24] <Hobbsee> true.  but the fire is cool!
[04:24] <manchicken> And compiz-fusion lacks some very nice functionality that kwin has that I'm just not happy to give up.
[04:24] <manchicken> Hobbsee: For about 10 minutes :)
[04:24] <Hobbsee> manchicken: for longer than taht :P
[04:24] <manchicken> Hobbsee: And then again when you're showing it to someone else :)
[04:27] <marseillai_> Riddell: is there a way to build kde4base for feisty on PPA? if i set release in changelog to feisty it fails with build dependency missing. and if I set release to feisty-changelog it fails due to "PPA uploads must be for the RELEASE pocket." So my question is : How did you do to make it build????
[04:28] <Hobbsee> marseillai_: i thought i said to ask cprov that?
[04:28] <manchicken> I wish KDE4 were in a state where I could start using it more extensively.
[04:28] <Hobbsee> marseillai_: he would have uploaded it as feisty to ppa, had it all build there, and reuploaded it with proper versioning to feisty-backports, i expect
[04:28] <Jucato> maybe beta3 manchicken...
[04:29] <Jucato> but most devs are able to use the basics I think... running a full KDE 4 session...
[04:29] <marseillai_> Hobbsee: it doesn't build with feisty
[04:29] <Hobbsee> marseillai_: he would have uplaoded the other stuff it requires to the ppa too
[04:59] <Riddell> marseillai_: it's annoying, you need to upload all the dependencies to the ppa too
[04:59] <Riddell> look at the kubuntu-members one maybe
[04:59] <Riddell> hola jjesse_
[04:59] <Riddell> no
[04:59] <Riddell> hola Jucato
[04:59] <marseillai_> ah oki Riddell
[04:59] <jjesse> holla
[04:59] <Jucato> Riddell: someone was advertising you in #kubuntu earlier. you were giving a talk on packaging? :)
[05:00] <Riddell> marseillai_: you can't use feisty-backports with PPA, which is quite hard
[05:00] <marseillai_> yes i've just see that
[05:00] <Riddell> Jucato: yes, I've been talking all morning, my throat is very soar
[05:00] <Jucato> ouch... yeah that's nasty....
[05:01] <nixternal> mhb: hrmm, you know what...I think I need to do a quick fix to the ff frontpage. I will check it when I get home, make the necessary update, and then send the .html file up to the translators mailing list to get translated if it hasn't been done already
[05:01] <nixternal> I totally forgot about the ff front page
[05:03] <Riddell> nixternal: s/feisty/gutsy/ ?
[05:04] <nixternal> exactly
[05:05] <nixternal> that is a quick fix really, and doesn't mess with pot files...the html gets manually translated anyways, so we will be fine with that
[05:05] <nixternal> won't even require a new package at this time, which is good
[05:06] <Riddell> ideally that could be done at compile time
[05:07] <Riddell> ooh, spanish politicians
[05:10] <nixternal> hehe
[05:10] <nixternal> bbiab...lab time
[05:31] <jjesse> hVe fun in lab
[05:59] <Riddell> nixternal: do you have comments on Foundations of Qt book?  I need to write a review
[06:03] <Riddell> Jucato: which one is that?
[06:03] <Jucato> the Trolltech one
[06:03] <Jucato> C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4
[06:04] <Jucato> (the relatively older Qt 4 book, which I just bought last month :P)
[06:34] <manchicken> Ooh, I might snag that book.
[06:34] <manchicken> Riddell: Were you present when mhb and I were talking about adept the other day?
[06:36] <Riddell> manchicken: don't think so
[06:37] <manchicken> Riddell: We were waxing philosophical about how adept seems to be having trouble keeping up with our needs, and how it might be a neat idea to start keeping our eyes open for something that might work better while still working Adept as best we can.
[06:38] <manchicken> I think the big thing we both agreed on is that we would like to see something like update-manager for Kubuntu.
[06:39] <Riddell> sure, if a kde 4 port of adept doesn't appear soonish that'll be a necessity anyway
[06:40] <Riddell> but it needs pykde 4 with embedded konsole first
[06:40] <Riddell> (pykde 4 is in svn now if anyone wants to try it out)
[06:41] <manchicken> Well I'm not sure if we really should do too much waiting.
[06:41] <manchicken> Adept is so complicated for folks to maintain that it's simply not being maintained like it really needs to be.
[06:42] <Riddell> it's blocked on pykde is all
[06:42] <manchicken> Every time I need to do something in it it's like 4 hours to figure out where I need to make the change, and then a loop of 5 minutes to make my change, 5 minutes to build and then another hour to determine why it crashed.  That goes on for 3 or 4 tries, and then I put out a patch.
[06:43] <manchicken> Not to mention that it took me several days to figure out how it worked the first time around.
[06:43] <manchicken> We also need some documentation for libapt, libept, and the other libs involved.
[06:44] <Riddell> I suspect python-apt isn't much better documented
[06:44] <manchicken> Because libapt is a freakin' maze of confusion with no sign of error handling.
[06:44] <manchicken> I don't think it is either.
[06:45] <manchicken> mvo is the living breathing documentation, and not much else is known outside his head or the folks who directly work on it.
[06:45] <manchicken> Source code is great, but it's no substitute for well-done documentation.
[06:45] <manchicken> Qt docs and KDE docs are incredible, and it saves me so much time to be able to go there rather than swim in header files.
[06:46] <Riddell> nixternal: http://dot.kde.org/1189517663/ comments welcome (not published yet)
[06:47] <Riddell> totally
[06:48] <manchicken> Riddell: So what's the story behind kynaptic?
[06:49] <Riddell> it's crap and we stopped using if after hoary?
[06:49] <manchicken> heh
[06:49] <manchicken> Nice.
[06:49] <Riddell> they're unrelated
[06:49] <Jucato> whatever happened to Smart PM btw?
[06:49] <Riddell> nobody seems too interested in changing away from apt (or rpm for other distros)
[06:50] <Jucato> heh :)
[06:50] <manchicken> I used to use smart with SuSE.  I didn't much care for it.
[06:50] <Jucato> ah kapture -> adept iirc!
[06:51] <Riddell> that's the one
[06:51] <mendred> hi Riddell a question..why must kubuntu have kdefied versions of the tools that ubuntu uses? Can't it merely reuse the same ones?
[06:51] <Riddell> mendred: because we're a KDE distro
[06:52] <Jucato> :)
[06:52] <Riddell> for the most part the tools do share backends, just different GUI parts
[06:52] <Jucato> and we're trying not to depend too much on gnome/gtk libs right?
[06:52] <Riddell> yes
[06:52] <Riddell> skim and amarok let us down there
[06:52] <Jucato> hehe
[06:53] <Jucato> gtkpod is unchallenged I guess :)
[06:53] <Riddell> libgpod yes
[06:53] <manchicken> Riddell: Oh, does amarok use libgpod?
[06:53] <Riddell> yes
[06:53] <manchicken> Didn't know.
[06:53] <manchicken> Is that GTK or just glib?
[06:53] <Riddell> which uses gdk for something and that's part of our gtk package
[06:53] <manchicken> Ah.
[06:53] <manchicken> Gotcha.
[06:54] <Jucato> oh libgpod hehe too much gtk in my head lol
[06:56] <manchicken> Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main dpkg 1.14.5ubuntu13
[06:56] <manchicken>   403 Forbidden [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[06:56] <manchicken> Neato
[06:57] <Riddell> deliberate
[06:57] <manchicken> Oh?
[06:57] <Hobbsee> Riddell: yes.  -devel
[06:57] <Riddell> that version of dpkg caused a segfault
[06:57] <manchicken> Naughty.
[06:57] <manchicken> Ooh
[06:57] <manchicken> Oh, BTW, I've talked with System76, they haven't even put Gutsy on any of their machines for official testing yet.
[06:57] <manchicken> That kinda... scares me.
[06:58] <Riddell> mm, companies like that should be part of the QA process
[06:58] <manchicken> My CD drive doesn't work...
[06:58] <Riddell> erk
[06:58] <manchicken> Riddell: My thoughts exactly.
[06:58] <manchicken> I've even gone to great lengths to tell them that I'd be happy to do some testing for them.
[06:59] <manchicken> Zero interest.
[06:59] <manchicken> My suspicion is that they're just completely short-staffed, and not yet making enough money to allow them to afford more folks to help with testing.
[07:01] <Jucato> and good morning to Hobbsee
[07:01] <Hobbsee> hi Jucato :P
[07:01] <Jucato> hehehe didn't sleep again?
[07:01] <Hobbsee> i'm going to sleep soon
[07:01] <Jucato> and wake up even sooner? :)
[07:02] <Jucato> ooh it's raining! gonna have a nice cold comfy sleep. :)
[07:02] <Hobbsee> hmm.. good question
[07:31] <Nightrose> manchicken: wrt jamendo support for amarok - it is being worked on/pretty much ready in 2.0 if you didn't know this already
[07:52] <n8k99> nixternal: thanks!
[07:55] <manchicken> Nightrose: Yeah, it's just not there yet.  I'm impatient :)
[07:56] <Nightrose> ;-)
[07:57] <manchicken> Nightrose: Is the jamendo support specifically Jamendo, or is there some sort of new mechanism for integrating with online music services?
[07:58] <manchicken> Hopefully it'd be nice and generic so that we could also integrate places like artistserver.com, too.
[07:58] <Nightrose> nikolaj is working on a framework so that it will be easy to add more stuff like that
[07:58] <Nightrose> he has a focus on magnatune though since they hired him
[07:58] <manchicken> Okay, but the jamendo stuff is its own thing?
[07:58] <mhb> http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8707/kdmshotsj9.png
[07:59] <mhb> beautiful, right?
[07:59] <manchicken> mhb: Ooh, very tigert.
[07:59] <Nightrose> no it is written on top of the framework
[07:59] <manchicken> Nightrose: Yay!
[07:59] <Nightrose> ;-)
[07:59] <manchicken> I have a feeling that as the music industry gets more and more hostile and crappy, we'll see more and more sites like that.
[08:00] <Nightrose> jep
[08:00] <Nightrose> and hopefully one day they will get it (TM)
[08:00] <manchicken> Now all they need is a more standardized interface.  Is it like a SOAP interface, or do you know?
[08:01] <mhb> manchicken: I've fallen in love with it ... because it has a natural touch to it (elephant skin) and it's blue
[08:01] <Nightrose> sorry no idea about the exact details but you can ask nikolaj if you want -> nhnfreespirit
[08:01] <manchicken> righto
[08:01] <mhb> also, I think the glass in kdm is better with such a dark bg
[08:02] <manchicken> mhb: I would prefer leaves or rocks or something to an animal skin.  I think the animal skin thing might offend some folks.
[08:02] <manchicken> We live in an age where you get doused with red paint for wearing fur coats.
[08:02] <mhb> manchicken: yeah, but this animal is not dead, you know
[08:04] <mhb> no animals were harmed during the editing of this picture
[08:04] <manchicken> Yes, I know.
[08:05] <manchicken> heh
[08:05] <manchicken> I'm not knocking it, I just don't want to offend someone on that level, ya know?
[08:06] <marseillai> Riddell: i've test dolphin with tab and if there is still some features missing it's pretty cool! there is two button to remove and you don't see the diffrence with a "normal" dolphin until you use tab. i've build it on my computer and it work but i've not been able to insert it in kde4base existing package (don't know why but the patch don't apply cdbs don't see him) so are you interest by this patch ?
[08:06] <manchicken> marseillai: Isn't Dolphin nice?
[08:07] <marseillai> without tab? les than with!
[08:07] <Riddell> marseillai: I don't have time to do anything with it now, if it works and is ready to upload and doesn't need maintenance I can upload it
[08:07] <mhb> Riddell: I would still oppose uploading it
[08:07] <marseillai> it's not ready at all but i'll continue to work on it
[08:08] <marseillai> mhb: can i send it to you? you test it and make your point of view?
[08:08] <mhb> doing so would displease KDE folks, and they're pretty tense with us already. Well, technicallly speaking, they don't have many friends :o)
[08:08] <ScottK> mhb: Why would they be upset?
[08:09] <mhb> marseillai: I'm not really against it when it comes to the technical level. I actually am kind of inclined to have tabs in Dolphin.
[08:10] <mhb> ScottK: there were several flamewars about that. Basically, some KDE folks think Dolphin should be simple, which means no tabs.
[08:10] <mhb> ScottK: Konqueror should be for those who need tabs, that's the official explanation.
[08:10] <manchicken> mhb: I don't want to piss the KDE folks off, but I think we should make changes that we think are necessary.  They don't have to include things if they don't want to, but we're maintaining Kubuntu, not KDE.
[08:10] <marseillai> mhb: the problem is : the dev don't want it, and if no one take the risk to offer it to user or to test it he will never has his chance. We could at least make another package name dolphin-tab or else ?
[08:10] <ScottK> Sounds like someone needs to switch to Gnome if you ask me.
[08:11] <manchicken> heh
[08:11] <mhb> ScottK: I don't really take sides at this. I think making KDE folks angry with Kubuntu might do more harm than having tabs as default.
[08:11] <ScottK> Agreed.
[08:11] <ScottK> There's a balance here.
[08:11] <mhb> marseillai: if you want, I can do a PPA of Dolphin-tabs tomorrow morning.
[08:12] <marseillai> mhb: i'm trying since two days! :D
[08:13] <marseillai> in gutsy the patch don't apply and i don't know why (cdbs don't see him) and ppa don't want to build it for feisty a build-dep is missing
[08:14] <mhb> marseillai: send me the patch and I will try.
[08:14] <mhb> tomorrow
[08:18] <mhb> marseillai: stalled. Perhaps you can pastebin it?
[08:20] <marseillai> mhb: http://pastebin.fr/232
[08:22] <mhb> thanks
[08:22] <mhb> marseillai: it is qt3 dolphin, right?
[08:22] <marseillai> no
[08:22] <mhb> marseillai: so the KDE4 one?
[08:22] <marseillai> a kde4 dolphin mhb
[08:23] <mhb> ah, okay.
[08:23] <marseillai> dolphin not d3lphin
[08:23] <mhb> no problem.
[08:42] <jjesse> whats the difference between d3lphin and dolphin?
[08:42] <Riddell> d3lphin is a fork of the KDE 3 version of dolphin
[08:42] <Riddell> (we just package it as dolphin)
[08:43] <jjesse> so is d3lphin the kde4 version?
[08:43] <Riddell> no, it's a fork of the KDE 3 version
[08:46] <jjesse> oh ok, thanks sorry trying to understand
[08:48] <Riddell> dolphin guy stopped developing the KDE 3 version to work on the KDE 4 version so d3lphin is someone else continuing it
[08:49] <jjesse> oh interseting, learned somethng new today
[08:52] <Kuhrscher> nixternal: Any progress on the translators credit patch for kdelibs?
[08:55] <ScottK> Anyone on Gutsy have a moment to test something for me?
[08:56] <ScottK> mhb: How about you?
[08:56] <Riddell> Kuhrscher: no volunteers yet
[08:58] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: I thought nixternal wanted to have a look at this?
[08:58] <jjesse> ScottK: sure i have a gutsy vm if that is fine w/ u
[08:58] <ScottK> Should work.
[08:58] <ScottK> jjesse: FIre up kdepim and find a something with a hyper link in it.
[08:59] <ScottK> jjesse: Then right-click and open it in a new window.
[08:59] <ScottK> jjesse: Does Konqueror open for you?
[08:59] <mhb> Kuhrscher: well, I've spoken to troy about this.
[09:00] <mhb> Kuhrscher: and I agree with him - is there really a need to translate something downstream and get credit for it?
[09:00] <Riddell> mhb: did you give doko a summary of soc?
[09:00] <Kuhrscher> mhb: I my very own eyes? No.
[09:01] <mhb> Kuhrscher: downstream KDE translations should be QA, not really main translation work.
[09:01] <jjesse> ScottK: no konqi did not open for me
[09:01] <mhb> Riddell: doh!
[09:01] <ScottK> jjesse: What happened?
[09:01] <jjesse> ScottK: i do have some updates so let me finish those and see if fixes it
[09:01] <jjesse> ScottK: i got a crash
[09:01] <Kuhrscher> mhb: But atm these launchpad translators overwrite and uglify the upstream translators.
[09:01] <Kuhrscher> mhb: That's the issue.
[09:01] <mhb> Riddell: I'll do it in an hour or so, sorry about this.
[09:02] <ScottK> jjesse: I don't get a crash, I just get an endless stream of kfmclient processing trying to start Konqueror.
[09:02] <ScottK> mhb: Would you please try too?
[09:02] <jjesse> ScottK: hmm like i said i have updaqtes pending let me finish those :)
[09:02] <ScottK> jjesse: Right.  I've had this for some time, so I doubt that will affect things, but you should update.
[09:03] <Kuhrscher> mhb.: For me it would be ok, to have just the upstream translators in the credits. But if we really want to add the launchpad translators too - as we do atm - we have to do it without harming the upstream translators credits.
[09:04] <mhb> ScottK: kdepim means what? It seems to work in kmail.
[09:04] <ScottK> Hmm
[09:04] <ScottK> Doesn't work for me for anything.
[09:04] <mhb> ScottK: I opened a link from an email, and konqueror was there.
[09:04] <mhb> ScottK: or should I do that differently?
[09:05] <ScottK> mhb: Did you open it in an external windwo?
[09:05] <ScottK> window even
[09:05] <mhb> ScottK: well, I didn't have any other choice, there was just "Open Link" which meant new window.
[09:05] <ScottK> OK.
[09:05] <mhb> Open URL, to be exact
[09:06] <ScottK> How about in Akregator?
[09:06] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Btw. who is Troy?
[09:06] <ScottK> Well that fails for me (Kmail open url)
[09:07] <ScottK> I get an endless stream of kfmclient processes trying to start Konqui and failing.
[09:07] <ScottK> Any suggestions then on how to fix that?
[09:08] <mhb> ScottK: I don't get this. Open Link in External Browser -> works.
[09:08] <ScottK> OK.
[09:08] <ScottK> Must be just me is "special".
[09:08] <ScottK> Gah.
[09:08] <mhb> ScottK: did you try a fresh user?
[09:08] <ScottK> No.  That's a good idea.  I'll try that next.
[09:14] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: Couldn't we remove the launchpad translators from the translator credits until we have a fix for kdelibs?
[09:14] <Riddell> Kuhrscher: how?
[09:15] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: They got implemented by Launchpad, so it should be easy to remove them this way too?
[09:15] <Riddell> it would need changes in rosetta, and it would need to act differently on kde .po files (and it has no way of knowing what a kde .po file is)
[09:15] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: I think Rosetta is able to differnciate between gnome and kde apps.
[09:17] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: For kde apps, the launchpad translators are just "name + mail address" for gnome apps they consist in "name + launchpad account" since Gnome is able to handle urls in the translator credits.
[09:17] <ScottK> mhb: Thanks.  Works fine in a new user.  I'll get it sorted.
[09:21] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: Is this just my subjective and more and more disappointed impression or have i18n issues in general a very low priority for Kubuntu?
[09:22] <Kuhrscher> Sorry, I don't wanted to sound harsh ...
[09:22] <Riddell> Kuhrscher: i18n in general is pretty important (although I often miss problems being an English speaker), this paticular issue doesn't seem like the largest of our worries for gutsy though
[09:23] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: No but there are much more i18n issues out there no one cares about...
[09:24] <Riddell> there are a lot more bugs out there :)
[09:25] <Kuhrscher> I know, but is it really necessary that for example the adept translation is broken since this app exists?
[09:25] <Riddell> hmm, it should be fixed long since
[09:26] <Kuhrscher> yes, but it isn't
[09:26] <Kuhrscher> or just in parts
[09:26] <Riddell> what's wrong with it?

[09:30] <Kuhrscher> I know that there are a lot of bugs out there and I know that there are not that much developers working on Kubuntu, but I get so many complaints about the same i18n issues again and again in the german community forum...
[09:31] <Riddell> fair point
[09:33] <Riddell> but yes, not enough developers
[09:33] <Kuhrscher> Riddell: If you wan't I could create a list of the most annoying i18n issues...
[09:34] <Riddell> that might help
[09:34] <Riddell> add a tag maybe
[09:34] <Kuhrscher> which kind of tag?
[09:35] <Riddell> a launchpad bug tag
[09:35] <Kuhrscher> does launchpad support something like "meta bugs"?
[09:35] <Riddell> no
[09:35] <Riddell> tags are the way
[09:35] <ScottK> Apparently metabugs are not needed.
[09:37] <Kuhrscher> And how do I tag a bug?
[09:38] <Riddell> "Edit description/tags"
[09:38] <Riddell> hmm, maybe only people in the bug teams can do that
[09:40] <Kuhrscher> Hmm, I set the tag kubuntu-i18n to a bug? Is that right?

[09:58] <Riddell> hmm, someone doing kde4libs updates in ppa https://edge.launchpad.net/~andres-j-new/+archive
[10:08] <mhb> Kuhrscher: troy unrau, never heard of him?
[10:09] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Yes I heard of him ;-)
[10:09] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Do you have a second?
[10:10] <mhb> Kuhrscher: I'm listening
[10:11] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Do you know the problem around this translator credits?
[10:12] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Or better have you seen the translator credits in Gutsy atm?
[10:13] <mhb> yes. Launchpad wants to put them somewhere, but they look ugly in that dialog. Also, there are lots of dupe names there.
[10:14] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Yes, and they add it even if the mail adress is missing, and they add all the guys woh just added an unused suggestion...
[10:15] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Personally I don't think that it is necessary to add the downstream translators at all ( I'm alsa a downstream translator). But if we really have to do it, we should do it in a way which doesn't involves the upstream translator credits.
[10:16] <mhb> Kuhrscher: right. The problem is, I do not like the idea of having KDE patches just to fix Launchpad problems.
[10:17] <mhb> Kuhrscher: that's the problem with closed-source ... we cannot fix it at the right place :(
[10:17] <Kuhrscher> mhb: I totally agree, what else could we do?
[10:17] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Do you want to leave the credits broken?
[10:18] <Kuhrscher> mhb: We already patch kdelibs to add some comment about launchpad... Would it really harm if we patch it some more just to keep the old appearance?
[10:19] <mhb> Kuhrscher: I'd say yes, but you wouldn't want that, would you? :o)
[10:20] <mhb> Kuhrscher: to be honest, I am unhappy about the amount of kdelibs patches we currently have
[10:20] <coreymon77> hey guys, do any of you know about connecting to my kubuntu box from my macbook (in order to get some files
[10:20] <coreymon77> )
[10:20] <Kuhrscher> mhb: In general I totally agree...
[10:21] <mhb> coreymon77: ssh or samba works well
[10:21] <mhb> coreymon77: also, there is a neat applet that acts as a tiny web server
[10:21] <Kuhrscher> mhb: But the actual situation is ugly and annoying for the upstream translators
[10:21] <mhb> coreymon77: in Kubuntu
[10:21] <Kuhrscher> mhb: so if you have a better idea?
[10:21] <coreymon77> mhb: what do i have to do to set that up?
[10:23] <mhb> Kuhrscher: are the names of upstream translators above the downstreamers?
[10:23] <coreymon77> mhb: what do i do on the kubuntu box to set that up?
[10:23] <Kuhrscher> I think so. I suggested a hack for launchpad without changing kdelibs at the related bug.
[10:24] <Kuhrscher> mhb: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133817
[10:24] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 133817 in rosetta "Make KDE translation credits nicer" [Medium,Fix committed]
[10:24] <mhb> coreymon77: Kicker -> Add Applet -> Public File Server
[10:26] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Btw I just tagged the most annoying i18n bugs I remembered spontaniously with "kubuntu-i18n"
[10:26] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Feel free to add this tag to more bugs you know...
[10:27] <Kuhrscher> mhb: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=kubuntu-i18n
[10:27] <mhb> Kuhrscher: thanks, will do.
[10:28] <coreymon77> mhb: so, i created the file server
[10:29] <coreymon77> how do i connect?
[10:29] <mhb> coreymon77: hmm, I think it is explained there somewhere
[10:29] <coreymon77> mhb: io address?
[10:30] <coreymon77> ip*
[10:30] <mhb> coreymon77: it opens the web server on an exotic port, so it's <IP_ADDRESS>:1234, where 1234 is the port number
[10:30] <mhb> and the first part is IP, yes
[10:30] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Since Danilos told me that it would be possible to handle the translator credit as proposed in the bug, I don't really beleave that Rosetta cannot see if a package belongs to kde or not. An if it is possible to see this, we could switch off the addition of the launchpad translators and "suggestors" for the KDE apps too...
[10:31] <Kuhrscher> mhb: At least until we have a better solution for this issue.
[10:32] <mhb> Kuhrscher: I guess that's a good approach. However, I cannot edit Launchpad to do this, you have to bug the Canonical employees who can :o)
[10:33] <Kuhrscher> mhb: I could do this, but it would be nice if you could support me with bugging them :-)
[10:34] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Just to have a chance...
[10:34] <ScottK> Kuhrscher: #launchpad
[10:35] <coreymon77> mhb: ip address as in the 192.168.1.x thing?
[10:35] <Kuhrscher> ScottK: I fear carlos and Danilos are sleeping...
[10:35] <mhb> Kuhrscher: I bug them about a ton of things (last time about the plural forms) ... :o) I also think it is finally up to them if they would implement it or not. Community members cannot force them.
[10:35] <coreymon77> mhb: im also having problems getting nfs installed on the kubuntu box in the first place
[10:35] <coreymon77> mhb: help me out with that
[10:35] <mhb> coreymon77: right, that is IP.
[10:36] <mhb> coreymon77: if you want to access the server, you have to specify the port
[10:36] <mhb> coreymon77: so you write something like http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8001/
[10:37] <mhb> coreymon77: the "listen port" is one part of the "New server" dialog, you must have noticed that while clicking "Next".
[10:37] <coreymon77> i know
[10:37] <mhb> Default port is 8001.
[10:37] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Yes, but I'm resignating more and more...
[10:37] <coreymon77> mhb: it wot connect
[10:37] <Kuhrscher> mhb: At least any progess on the plural issue?
[10:38] <coreymon77> mhb: wont*
[10:38] <mhb> Kuhrscher: yes.
[10:38] <mhb> Kuhrscher: but Riddell has to do a kde-i18n sync with upstream after LP 1.1.9 rolls out.
[10:39] <mhb> Kuhrscher: but he said yes, so I hope he will manage to do that.
[10:39] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Nice. And all the apps not included in kde-i18n?
[10:39] <Kuhrscher> mhb: Amarok, kaffeine, koffice...
[10:39] <mhb> Kuhrscher: not sure.
[10:39] <coreymon77> mhb: what is the fastest easiest way to do it
[10:39] <Kuhrscher> mhb: We don't even get the desktop-* files for these apps..
[10:40] <coreymon77> smb, ssh, ftp, nfs?
[10:40] <mhb> coreymon77: ssh
[10:40] <mhb> coreymon77: that's the easiest to set up. You'll have to find a good file transfer utility for OS X.
[10:40] <coreymon77> mhb: okay, how do i do that
[10:41] <coreymon77> mhb: finder?
[10:41] <mhb> coreymon77: just install openssh-server.
[10:41] <coreymon77> mhb: cant finder do it?
[10:41] <mhb> coreymon77: I'm not sure if finder can do ssh. Ask him :o)
[10:41] <Kuhrscher> mhb: And I just translated some of these plural strings for the kdepim-enterprise-branche... They don't even exist upstream (for kde3)
[10:45] <nixternal> Riddell: the foundations book is great. truthfully, I think Danimo's is about a notch or 2 better, but it is still a great book...I have gone through it once, and am going through it again...concentrating a bit on Part 2
[10:45] <coreymon77> mhb: ive got an idea
[10:45] <coreymon77> mhb: setting it up is easy on the mac
[10:45] <nixternal> Riddell: that write is up very precise though, well written
[10:45] <coreymon77> so
[10:45] <coreymon77> how about i set up ssh on the mac and then you tell me some good transfer sevices i can use on kubuntu
[10:45] <nixternal> also, the translation tabs, I think mhb had a convo with KDE devs about that as well..mhb?
[10:46] <coreymon77> mhb: or should i just use samba
[10:48] <coreymon77> mhb: can kubuntu use appletalk
[10:48] <coreymon77> ???
[10:49] <mhb> coreymon77: no, I don't think so :o)
[10:49] <nixternal> yes it can
[10:49] <mhb> ah, sorry then.
[10:49] <mhb> my bad
[10:49] <nixternal> my brother in laws shop is a mac shop and a couple of people there are linux people
[10:50] <nixternal> I believe it is built into the kernel, you may need the *netatalk* module/package (I think that is what it is called)
[10:50] <mhb> coreymon77: I am sorry, I don't have much time to answer questions now, feel free to ask someone else (especially at the #kubuntu channel designed for questions).
[10:50] <nixternal> oh well
[10:50] <mhb> indeed.
[10:50] <nixternal> lol
[10:51] <coreymon77> sorry bout that, lost my connection
[10:51] <coreymon77> so
[10:51] <coreymon77> can kubuntu use appletalk?
[10:56] <Kuhrscher> mhb, nixternal: Ok, have a good night... We will see if anything changes regarding the i18n issues in the future. Bye.
[10:56] <mhb> coreymon77: 22:52 < nixternal> I believe it is built into the kernel, you may need the *netatalk* module/package (I think that is what it is called)
[11:00] <mluser-work> Riddell: thanks
[11:03] <coreymon77> nixternal: mhb: i works!

[00:56] <MythbuntuGuest48> I have installed Mythbuntu 8.10, but there is no sound. I have Hauugpauge pvr 150, so I guess my only option for sound is the head phone jack on the actual computer?  I thought I set that to jack, but still no sound.
[01:04] <dashcloud> the pvr150 should record sound regardless of your sound card- sound won't playback without a working soundcard, but it should record just fine

It appears to not like any capture card I throw at it.  the ones it picks up, it doesn't do anything with because of no tuner.  and I cant get remote frontends to work off the live cd (first time it asks for database info, it works. second time in the gui portion, it doesnt).  After gettign tired with it, throwing random variables doesn't
[02:04] <Cool_Nick> ^I must say, the audio cd player works flawless, and a samba mount for video playback worked good to (although very slow to load while it chugged through the files during section load)
[03:22] <map7> I'm having trouble mounting a samba share on my diskless clients using Mythbuntu 8.10, is there some type of trick I have to do here?
[03:22] <map7> I've added the share to my /etc/fstab for the clients
[03:22] <map7> and rebuilt the image
[03:23] <map7> Once the client has booted I can manually mount the share using the fstab entry
[03:23] <map7> I would like this to be automatic though
[03:28] <hads> What's your fstab entry?
[03:30] <map7> /<IP_ADDRESS>/share /media/lacie    smbfs   auto,username=<my user>,password=<my password>    0       0
[03:30] <map7> That is //192 on the front
[03:30] <map7> Once I've booted the client I can type 'sudo mount /media/lacie' and it will mount that drive
[03:37] <hads> Odd, that should work.
[03:37] <hads> I don't know a lot about SMB
[03:37] <yotux> how can I test my ir blaster ?
[03:38] <map7> yeah I think it must be an LTSP thing
[03:38] <map7> where it doesn't mount all the entries in fstab
[03:38] <hads> I mount NFS fine
[03:40] <map7> My NAS will only output samba, so that's what's stopping me from using NFS
[03:40] <hads> Anything in the syslog?
[03:40] <hads> Tried with cifs?
[03:41] <map7> nothing in syslog, i'll give cifs a go.
[03:41] <hads> Came across that just now; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534
[03:42] <rhpot1991_laptop> cifs replaced samba for client mounting, thats my understanding at least
[03:44] <hads> Thanksfully I don't have to know much about Windows-type integration :)
[03:45] <map7> cifs also does not work
[03:45] <map7> cifs does work manually though
[03:46] <map7> just like smbfs works manually
[03:47] <hads> Seems odd that it doesn't auto mount
[03:50] <rhpot1991_laptop> I haven't done anything but NFS in my fstab as of late
[03:51] <rhpot1991_laptop> map7: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[03:53] <map7> I just tested my server to make sure it auto mounts using the same fstab line as before and my server does auto mount on boot.
[03:54] <map7> thanks for the link
[03:54] <hads> Does it mount if you mount -a
[03:55] <yotux> !ir blaster
[03:55] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about ir blaster
[03:56] <map7> yotux, use irda-utils
[03:56] <map7> yotux it has commands like irdadump to collect info, irsend to test blasters
[03:56] <map7> etc
[03:57] <yotux> thankz can't seem to get any where googling for a while
[04:01] <map7> hads, yes it does mount with command 'sudo mount -a'
[04:09] <hads> Doesn't make a lot of sense to me then.
[04:12] <map7> yeah I'm confused as well.  It has to be a LTSP problem.
[04:36] <map7> hads, I just added 'mount -a' to my /etc/init.d/mythbuntu-diskless-client and everything started to work.
[04:36] <map7> So this looks like a work around
[04:58] <davez0r> can anyone recommend a good thread for fixing my nvidia card?  I just upgraded to 8.10 and chose to use the 177 proprietary.  when I reboot it sticks me into 'low graphics mode'  any ideas?
[04:59] <rhpot1991_laptop> davez0r: what card, I think older cards are not supported in intrepid
[05:01] <davez0r> yeah, i've got an FX5200
[05:01] <davez0r> so its a bit old
[05:02] <hads> map7: Odd, mount -a is called during startup
[05:02] <map7> davez0r that's what I'm using on my mythbuntu 810 box
[05:03] <map7> hads, in which init file for clients is mount -a started?
[05:03] <map7> davez0r I'm using driver version 173.14.12, I think there is an option to use this version during setup
[05:03] <davez0r> map7, i'm also using mythbuntu.  when you installed, did you choose
[05:03] <davez0r> ahh
[05:03] <davez0r> i tried 177
[05:04] <map7> I remember selecting the older version as I thought my card was old
[05:04] <hads> map7: Have a look in /etc/init.d/ it will be named mount something :)
[05:04] <davez0r> i just reverted to the opensource driver, i'll try 173 nexy
[05:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> davez0r: google seems to agree to try 173
[05:06] <rhpot1991_laptop> you will prob have to hack your xorg.conf some then too
[05:07] <davez0r> yeah, i'm running some updates now.  can you link me to what you found there rhpot?
[05:09] <rhpot1991_laptop> davez0r: http://threeeighthsspacer.com/blog/2008/11/20/geforce-fx-5200-in-ubuntu-intrepid-ibex-810/

[05:13] <Cool_Nick> could someone help me get an capture device going
[05:15] <Cool_Nick> the device works in other programs...just not mythtv

[05:37] <superm1> kirkland, ping
[05:38] <superm1> kirkland, there's still a problem with the way that you had changed the .config as we just realized in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev
[05:38] <superm1> kirkland, if you happen to be say installing the "mythtv" package, you get mysql-server-5.0 installed too right?  well it's not started at the time you run the .config.  and the init script isn't available yet either....
[05:38] <superm1> it's a bit of an annoying problem to solve
[05:39] <superm1> to reproduce it, start with a jaunty chroot with no mysql server and no mythtv-database, "apt-get install mythtv" and make sure you set a root password.  you'll get asked again by the mythtv packages, but it will fail through the 5 times because there isn't a chance that the mysql server is actually running yet
[05:47] <superm1> kirkland, and you might say 'set mysql-server as pre-depends', but it already is for the mythtv and mythtv-backend-master packages.  it seems that .config is getting called out at the same time for everything
[05:47] <superm1> so i anticipate whatever solution there is to this will be a bit hacky
[05:47] <superm1> kirkland, here's the bzr branch to hack on it from: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-fixes/changes
[05:53] <culinarian1> so I've been trying to get my windows shares mounted and have followed how-to's for smb, cifs, and ssh. I was successful once with smb but haven't been able to repeat the process since. no luck with cifs and ssh even though that's what I see being suggested. could those 3 be causing conflicts with each other?
[05:55] <culinarian1> or is it just a touchy process...
[05:57] <rhpot1991> windoes doesn't do ssh...
[06:00] <culinarian1> ok, that would explain the connection denied message with ssh. why would I not be able to repeat my first successful mount with smb... would an update have changed something back that I had previously set?
[06:01] <rhpot1991> culinarian1: perhaps try with another windows box to make sure the share is setup correctly?
[06:02] <culinarian1> I've already got an existing network with windows machines playing well together
[06:03] <rhpot1991> most samba/cifs issues are security related, so its always a good point to check that first
[06:05] <culinarian1> so for someone like me who's totally new and experimenting with linux, what would be some things to check. any troubleshooting guides on the web?
[13:13] <Very_Cool> Having frontend errors.  Mythsocket(******):readStringList: Error, timeout (quick)
[14:13] <MythbuntuGuest26> Hi,  visualisations dont seem to be working on Mythmusic, when i press 3 wshile playing music, all i get is a black screen. What can i do to get  visualisations to work?
[14:15] <MythbuntuGuest26> 4 sorry, (Visulise)
[14:24] <giver> hello everyone
[14:24] <giver> have couple questions
[14:25] <giver> one is,I have mythbuntu using nvidia 7050,over hdmi
[14:25] <giver> I see there is no audio
[14:25] <giver> and wonder : does the card convert all analog audio into digital?
[14:25] <giver> or will only deliver digital audio
[14:27] <giver> does anyone knows about nvidia 7050 audio over hdmi?
[14:27] <MythbuntuGuest26> I dont, sorry. I came here aksing becuse my visualisations are not working :)
[14:29] <giver> visualisations  on a player?
[14:29] <MythbuntuGuest26> but based on my knowlege of compute rhardware, i would assume that your card converts the analogue signals to digital since a computer cant process analogue, as for output that really depends it may be converted in to analogue again you'll have to google specs of yoru card.
[14:30] <MythbuntuGuest26> and yea, Mythmusic.
[14:30] <MythbuntuGuest26> press 4 to Visulize and all i get is a black screen.
[14:30] <giver> well,a pc can process analog audio for decades
[14:30] <giver> is not that what I mean
[14:31] <giver> I think I chose thw wrong words
[14:31] <giver> I mean to port all audio into the hdmi out
[14:31] <giver> analog wasn;t the right word
[14:31] <giver> have a beautifull hd out over hdmi,but no audio
[14:32] <giver> using a mobo that has nvidia 7050 on board
[14:32] <MythbuntuGuest26> (After its converted to Digital using analogue to digital mapping)
[14:32] <giver> viaualizations might need the files to viasualize
[14:33] <giver> not sure how it works
[14:33] <MythbuntuGuest26> :P
[14:33] <giver> does the player play video ok?
[14:34] <MythbuntuGuest26> yea that parts workign fine
[14:34] <giver> haven;t played qith mythmusic,justinstalled it
[14:34] <giver> and trying to overcome this sound problems
[14:36] <MythbuntuGuest26> try changeing the default Audio device. its just a hunch and a guess but if you also have a normal sound card on yoru box it may be outputting soudn tot hat instead of the HDMI port.
[14:38] <MythbuntuGuest26> sorry for the typos

[15:54] <MythbuntuGuest91> hello all,
[15:55] <MythbuntuGuest91> is possible from a client, watch a live sat program captured from backend?
[16:14] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest91, yes thats kinda how this works, the clients watch content from the servers
[16:31] <MythbuntuGuest91> also live streams?
[16:31] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest91, yes, also live streams
[16:36] <MythbuntuGuest91> thanks all for replies
[16:36] <MythbuntuGuest91> anyone tested scenarios with many clients connected to one backend
[16:36] <MythbuntuGuest91> i mean 10-15 to 1
[16:38] <tgm4883_laptop> you will need a beefy machine for that
[16:38] <tgm4883_laptop> network speed, hard drive speed, processing power
[16:39] <laga> and many tuners if you want to do live tbv
[16:39] <laga> tv*
[16:42] <MythbuntuGuest44> I have having trouble chainging channels, for some reason anyway i do it, remote/keyboard I cannot select a differnt channel to watch tv
[16:42] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest91, yea a network that large you will probably want to distribute the load over a few backends
[16:42] <tgm4883_laptop> you aren't doing HD are you?
[16:43] <MythbuntuGuest91> no
[16:43] <MythbuntuGuest91> but if i have 3 servers, i can keep it in sync?
[16:45] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest91, what exactly are you trying to build?
[16:48] <MythbuntuGuest44> I know its a dumb question, but I havent been able to find info. I'm even using the mythtvorg wiki
[16:49] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest44, we'll need to see some logs

[16:50] <MythbuntuGuest44> ok one moment
[16:51] <Very_Cool> can you lock other frontends out from viewing a channel? or are frontends only allowed to view unused sources?
[16:52] <tgm4883_laptop> Very_Cool, I don't think you can lock frontends out, but if one frontend is using a tuner, another frontend can't take that tuner from it, it would use an unused tuner
[16:53] <tgm4883_laptop> The only way multiple frontends can watch the same thing is if it is pre-recorded, or if they each have their own tuner on the same channel
[16:53] <MythbuntuGuest44> ok logs are posted at:

[16:56] <tgm4883_laptop> you mean f59d9590c
[16:56] <tgm4883_laptop> what tuner do you have
[16:57] <MythbuntuGuest44> i have pvr 150
[16:58] <tgm4883_laptop> and what input are you using?
[16:58] <MythbuntuGuest44> composite 1
[16:58] <tgm4883_laptop> and do you have a channel changing script setup?
[16:59] <tgm4883_laptop> no
[16:59] <tgm4883_laptop> #
[16:59] <tgm4883_laptop> Channel(/dev/video0) Warning: You have not set an external channel changing script for a composite or s-video input. Channel changing will do nothing.
[16:59] <tgm4883_laptop> what is your source, cable box?
[17:00] <MythbuntuGuest44> It was working at one point, however i just had it set to bcast, i now set it to cable. The source is acutally an iptv box
[17:01] <tgm4883_laptop> do you have an IR transmitter setup?
[17:01] <MythbuntuGuest44> Just a usb remote
[17:01] <MythbuntuGuest44> windows mce one by keyspan
[17:02] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, you need some way to be able to change the channel on the IPTV box
[17:02] <tgm4883_laptop> which most likely is going to be an IR transmitter
[17:03] <tgm4883_laptop> depending on the USB receiver you have, you might have a transmitter built into it, you just have to hook it up
[17:03] <tgm4883_laptop> I'm going to refer you to the installation manual
[17:03] <tgm4883_laptop> !%install%
[17:03] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about %install%
[17:03] <tgm4883_laptop> !%manual%
[17:03] <Zinn> http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual
[17:04] <MythbuntuGuest44> I do have a remote for iptvbox
[17:04] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest44, you need a way for your mythbox to change the channel on your iptv box
[17:05] <MythbuntuGuest44> I see, I have the make and model of remote if that will help
[17:07] <tgm4883_laptop> um, no.  Right now you have composite (yellow, red, white) cables going from the IPTV box to your mythbox right?  And no other cable between the two?
[17:08] <MythbuntuGuest44> That is correct, however on the iptv side the cable is like svideo (or somethign like that) and then on the mythbox side it is composite
[17:08] <tgm4883_laptop> ok
[17:09] <tgm4883_laptop> so my question is this
[17:09] <tgm4883_laptop> How do you expect the mythbox is to change the channel on the iptv box?
[17:10] <MythbuntuGuest44> I'm not sure it was workign at one point
[17:11] <tgm4883_laptop> i'd bet money, that you had the cable hooked up to it and only got certain channels
[17:11] <tgm4883_laptop> ie, you didn't have the iptv box in there
[17:13] <MythbuntuGuest44> I belive that i was using bcast at one point instead of cable
[17:13] <MythbuntuGuest44> but I belive the iptvbox was always there
[17:13] <MythbuntuGuest44> but either way i'd like to get it set up correclty
[17:14] <Very_Cool> MythbuntuGuest44, tgm4883_laptop is correct.   You need something for the mythbox to tell the iptv channel to change.  this is usually done with an ir transmitter.
[17:14] <tgm4883_laptop> well here is the thing, right now, there is no way that you are going to be able to change channels
[17:14] <tgm4883_laptop> what does your IR receiver look like?
[17:15] <MythbuntuGuest44> I see
[17:16] <MythbuntuGuest44> According to Installation manual it should worlk with mce remote version 2
[17:17] <Very_Cool> Version 2: IR Transmitter is supported with driver module lirc_mceusb2 version >= 0.24 (lirc-0.8.2).
[17:17] <tgm4883_laptop> it will work with any remote, as long as you get a IR transmitter hooked up
[17:17] <MythbuntuGuest44> i think i need to set that up in control center
[17:17] <tgm4883_laptop> some versions don't have the irtransmitter built in
[17:18] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest44, you will need to have a wire that goes from your IR receiver back to your IPTV box
[17:19] <MythbuntuGuest44> tgm, i see, suggestions on which one
[17:19] <MythbuntuGuest44> does it need to be a specific wire?
[17:21] <tgm4883_laptop> let me see if I can find a picture
[17:22] <MythbuntuGuest44> ok, it may be eaiser to use my iptv remote?...
[17:23] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, I found one that is half what i'm talking about
[17:24] <tgm4883_laptop> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/IR_Blaster
[17:24] <tgm4883_laptop> in the first picture on that page, you need a wire where one end looks like the non-serial port end in that picture
[17:24] <tgm4883_laptop> does that make sense?
[17:26] <MythbuntuGuest44> I see
[17:26] <MythbuntuGuest44> yes
[17:26] <tgm4883_laptop> do you have a wire like that?
[17:27] <MythbuntuGuest44> i dont
[17:27] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, you are going to need to get one, or build one
[17:27] <MythbuntuGuest44> ok would i just be able to use the iptv remote?
[17:28] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest44, you could, but you will have to change the channel manually every time
[17:29] <MythbuntuGuest44> I see
[17:29] <Very_Cool> side thought: if you have a remote thats doing nothing, you could probably take it from that.  but you would have to hook it up to the cable and serial port etc... (Im sure there is documentation somewhere for that)
[17:29] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest44, is there a firewire port on the back of your IPTV box?
[17:31] <MythbuntuGuest44> I dont think so,, I have 2 coax, the svdieo (i think ) that i'm using, and then the ethernet input
[17:32] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, you don't
[17:32] <tgm4883_laptop> so if you want the mythbox to be able to change channels automatically, you will need the IR transmitter
[17:33] <MythbuntuGuest44> I see, would radio shack have one?
[17:33] <MythbuntuGuest44> or does it have to be DIY from radio shack?
[17:34] <tgm4883_laptop> I doubt radioshack would have one, although they would have the parts
[17:34] <tgm4883_laptop> you could get one online, I believe that website I linked to has some places to get it from
[17:34] <culinarian1> so, I did some mucking with my smb.conf by the guidance of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 . I backed up the original file to smb.conf.template but now I realize that the original had all the samba settings for mythtv in it. the original command was [ mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.template] can I revert to the original by simply doing: [ mv /etc/samba/smb.conf.template etc.samba.smb.conf]?
[17:34] <tgm4883_laptop> culinarian1, yes
[17:35] <culinarian1> thanks
[17:35] <MythbuntuGuest44> tgm, well i think thats all
[17:35] <MythbuntuGuest44> thanks for all your help
[17:35] <tgm4883_laptop> np
[17:40] <culinarian1> tgm... on that same topic, should I continue to edit my smb.conf to see my windows shares or is there another way to do it?
[17:41] <tgm4883_laptop> you could install swat
[17:41] <tgm4883_laptop> not entirely sure that would help much, but it's the only way i've ever configured samba
[17:41] <tgm4883_laptop> which was a long time ago
[17:42] <culinarian1> googling now... but what is swat (in the short version)?
[17:43] <tgm4883_laptop> samba web administration tool
[17:45] <culinarian1> sounds neat, I'll check it out. so far all the how to's I've tried to get my win shares mounted have not worked. I can't seem to access from both directions. it's either on or the other, never viewable on both machines..
[17:46] <culinarian1> I could just be overlooking something really simple though
[17:46] <tgm4883_laptop> culinarian1, sorry can't help more, I do NFS only now
[17:46] <culinarian1> np, thanks for the help
[17:50] <Very_Cool> tgm4883_laptop, could you help me with a card issue?
[17:50] <Very_Cool> trying to get a card working without a tuner (composite only) and cant get to far
[17:51] <tgm4883_laptop> Very_Cool, perhaps if it's quick, I have to run an errand soon
[17:51] <tgm4883_laptop> what seems to be the problem?
[17:51] <Very_Cool> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f1e2e556e
[17:52] <Very_Cool> front-end
[17:52] <Very_Cool> MythSocket(8b42500:29): readStringList: Error, timeout (quick).
[17:53] <tgm4883_laptop> look at line 14
[17:53] <tgm4883_laptop> did you fix that error?
[17:55] <Very_Cool> I think so
[17:56] <Very_Cool> I jump between errors
[17:56] <Very_Cool> I either get that or error about program information
[17:56] <tgm4883_laptop> This is a single system setup?
[17:56] <Very_Cool> correct
[17:58] <tgm4883_laptop> try scheduling a recording and see if it starts
[17:59] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, I have an errand to run now, do that and let me know what happens, I should be back in 30 minutes
[18:36] <sabhain> is there a clean way to relocate recordings and still maintain db associativity?  I have some recordings in /Videos/Home (probably a dozen or so) that I want to move to a new drive (/dvr/Home) that I recently installed.  I'm clear on how to reset the recording location for new recordings .. but is there a way within the frontend that I can migrate the storage location of recordings?
[19:10] <Very_Cool> tgm4883_laptop,  you are correct.  the recording went fine....
[19:33] <sabhain> laga .. got a problem with some diskless image things.  Can't run the update from MCC .. get all sorts of errors related to medibuntu.org / hardy (no public key available) .. and then it doesn't unmount dev or proc.  Result is that the backend has to be rebooted before anything can be done or tried on the image .. any idea?  forums seem bare on this.
[20:00] <laga> on intrepid?
[20:16] <sabhain> 8.10
[20:16] <sabhain> Amd / 64 bit backend & client
[20:17] <sabhain> trying a full scrub & redo of the image now.  When originally created, the "other sources box" wasn't checked, and so we had problems getting nvidia done correctly.  Went back and re-did the image with that checked, and have gotten these errors since.
[20:18] <sabhain> one thing I hadn't done yet was to scrub the overlay when I scrubbed the image, so this time around that's what we're trying.
[20:24] <laga> there is a problem with MCC - it will still use the hardy medibuntu repo
[20:49] <sabhain> laga .. is there a workaround, or should I move back to 8.04?
[21:43] <sabhain> found the bug .. I guess I can just update the sources list manually .. and in the chroot
