[07:13] <soee> good morning
[08:08] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:46] <soee> hiho lordievader
[08:50] <lordievader> Hey soee, how are you doing?
[08:51] <soee> lordievader: good, but its colad as hell here in office - 17° :/ and outside is only -4
[08:51] <soee> *cold
[08:52] <lordievader> soee: That is too bad. Compile KDE and warm your hands at the cpu :P
[08:52] <lordievader> Or grab a cup of coffee ;)
[08:57] <soee> hehe no time for KDE atm, working with Laravel + AngularJS
[09:01] <sitter> http://xkcd.com/1172/
[09:25] <Sick_Rimmit> Good Morning Folks
[09:26] <Sick_Rimmit> So I'm running Plasma5, and the desktop keeps locking up. The only things I can do are switch tty, or reboot. 
[09:27] <Sick_Rimmit> I want to keep running Plasma5 in production so I can test it for 15.04 release, but I need away to be able to identify, and kick the service that is locking up
[09:27] <Sick_Rimmit> Rebooting every 30 minutes, is not going to work out.
[09:28] <lordievader> Sick_Rimmit: Try alt+tab next time. It might just be the desktop effects freezing.
[09:29] <Sick_Rimmit> lordievader: OK, thank you, I will try that one
[09:30] <Sick_Rimmit> So far I've noticed it when Firefox is has loaded LinkedIn, and also just now when Rekonq tried to load forum.kde.org
[09:32] <lordievader> Sick_Rimmit: If that ain't it, look at the system utilization.
[09:32] <lordievader> Perhaps there is some memory leak and it is heavily swapping or something.
[09:33] <Sick_Rimmit> Ah OK, that's a good point I had been looking at Top to see, if I could see something running away with the system, but I didn't check Swap..
[09:34] <Sick_Rimmit> Also If I can create some repeatable issues, where should we report these KDE ?
[09:35] <lordievader> Sick_Rimmit: "vmstat 1" is a nice utility for that ;)
[09:38] <Sick_Rimmit> Oooh, not heard of that
[09:38]  * Sick_Rimmit ducks off to the man pages section
[09:46] <valorie> Sick_Rimmit: what I do is `killall -9 plasmashell && plasmashell &`
[09:46] <valorie> then: `plasmashell </dev/null &>/dev/null &`
[09:46] <valorie> alt+tab and all gentler measures didn't work for me
[09:47] <valorie> but with up-arrow, this takes just a sec from yakuake
[09:48] <Riddell> alt+shift+F12 to disable effects
[09:56] <sitter> valorie: did you investigate that with someone? just killing it aint not solving the underlying issue ;)
[09:57] <sitter> Riddell: that's the new thing you wrote? https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs#Kubuntu_Continuous_Integration_.28CI.29
[09:57] <Riddell> sitter: yep
[09:58] <Riddell> someone wants https downloads of images, is he hiding it from gchq? http://paste.kde.org/p9ijnvhag
[09:59] <sitter> that page is entirely filled with internal documentation :P
[09:59] <sitter> alas, I misled you into thinking the page should be on community, while in fact it probably should have been techbase ^^
[10:00] <Riddell> it's a Kubuntu project and we only have Kubuntu stiff on commuity for now
[10:00] <Riddell> stuff
[10:00] <sitter> Riddell: community in general is internal
[10:00] <valorie> sitter: yes, I commented on the bug report
[10:00] <valorie> and supposedly the fix is in
[10:00]  * sitter got lodsa whining when he put phonon release notes there after having been told so by someone -.-
[10:01] <valorie> however, I've not gotten it in ppa/ next
[10:01] <sitter> what be the bug number?
[10:01] <valorie> ooo
[10:01] <valorie> gosh so long ago, let me search
[10:02] <sitter> Riddell: that person has a point probably
[10:03] <sitter> not so much about the download itself, more about the website though ... since once can't https the website a bad person could maninthemiddle the website thus providing a bogus ISO link and a bogus checksum
[10:03] <valorie> sitter: it is supposedly because of the repeat of "xgeWireToEvent: Unknown extension 148, this should never happen."
[10:03] <valorie> 8 billion times
[10:04] <valorie> blurg, searching on that gives 8 million results too....
[10:04] <sitter> ah, log filling up perhaps, though I think that should be fixed
[10:04] <sitter> then again looking at my xsession-errors I see kwin warnings gone wild as well
[10:04] <sitter> ...
[10:05] <valorie> hasn't filled my HD yet
[10:05] <sitter> most days I think we should just compile everything in release mode
[10:05] <valorie> kbroulik is the one complaining the most about it
[10:05] <sitter> that would also make software crash less and force developers to figure out more userfriendly ways of data gathering xD
[10:05] <kbroulik> xgeWireToEvent? I know that!
[10:05] <kbroulik> it causes my xsession errors to eat all harddisk
[10:05] <kbroulik> and krunner to eat all ram \o/
[10:05] <sitter> valorie: it wouldn't fill the hd
[10:06] <sitter> krunenr eating all memory seems more like it
[10:06] <sitter> anywho
[10:06] <sitter> all is vain!
[10:06] <sitter> let's build in release mode
[10:06] <sitter> muahhaha
[10:07] <kbroulik> seems a bug in krunner though, it doesnt detach when launching an application
[10:07] <kbroulik> so apparently it keeps track of all the output (and plashashell spams me with xgeWire shit) and eventually eats GBs of ram
[10:07] <valorie> hmmm, I'm not launching from krunner much now that most things can be launched from the taskbar
[10:08] <valorie> and for instance kpat has to be launched in yakuake
[10:08] <valorie> krunner doesn't do it, since the paths are messed up
[10:08] <sitter> kbroulik: the output shouldn't be there to begin with ^^
[10:09] <sitter> valorie: that should be fixed
[10:09] <valorie> cool!
[10:09] <kbroulik> there's a fix but oc kubuntu doesnt ship it :)
[10:09] <sitter> debian broke the paths
[10:09] <kbroulik> re the xgewire thing
[10:09] <valorie> I reported the bugs
[10:09] <valorie> and found the workarounds
[10:09] <Riddell> sitter: only reply to my fam question is a non-concluside one about it maybe being problematic http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-frameworks-devel/2014-November/020611.html
[10:09] <valorie> so when things are fixed, great
[10:10] <kbroulik> http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/22124/
[10:10] <sitter> kbroulik: my conservative pov is that a patch consitutes a micro fork, so if upstream had an interest in not having people suffer from this upstream would release an update :P
[10:10] <kbroulik> and who packages updates? right. downstream.
[10:10] <sitter> Riddell: yeah, I dunno, apparently dfaure is MIA actually
[10:11] <kbroulik> for example I need to run a random CI ppa on Kubuntu to get a recent Qt version since the 5.3.0 shipped in kubuntu has broken touch support
[10:11] <kbroulik> 5.3.2 has fixed that but the patch did not get backported by kubuntu ..
[10:11] <sitter> kbroulik: my point is unless there is a patch release there is nothing to package
[10:11] <kbroulik> downstreams often patch software themselves, so ..
[10:12] <sitter> I know
[10:12] <sitter> which is why I keep on saying that people shoudl stop calling themselves downstream :P
[10:12] <sitter> and upstream should stop calling downstream downstream
[10:12] <sitter> it creates a neat mental separation between my product and your product
[10:12] <sitter> when in fact it is the same product
[10:12] <valorie> we're all one big fractious family
[10:13] <sitter> this ^
[10:13] <valorie> and somebody should totally give Ivan some good weed or something
[10:13] <kbroulik> so it's everyone's fault that many uses have to suffer from this \o/
[10:13]  * valorie is out of ideas
[10:14] <sitter> valorie: that still not resolved?
[10:15] <valorie> my last plea went unanswered, I believe
[10:15] <valorie> it was Thanksgiving then my hubby's bday plus GCi begins in a few hours....
[10:16]  * sitter calls for a fork
[10:17] <valorie> who will step up to maintain?
[10:17] <valorie> that is the only thing we're waiting for, I guess
[10:17] <valorie> Ivan seems immovable as a stone
[10:18] <sitter> just have someone setup a CI job to merge ivan's thing into the fork thing :P
[10:18] <valorie> right, self-maintaining software!
[10:19] <valorie> like the perpetual motion machine
[10:19]  * valorie checks in #kubuntu-ci to see how that's going
[10:19] <Riddell> hmm, SoK blog request from someone who seems to have achieved compiling gcompris with unity screenshots http://saikrishna17394.github.io/feed.xml
[10:20] <valorie> bleah
[10:20] <valorie> also, they are late
[10:20] <sitter> valorie: there isn't much to maintain ... the patch proposed by MK is 2 lines, that would be the entirety of the fork (well, and having to release things ^^)
[10:20] <valorie> it is no longer November
[10:21] <valorie> whatever, I'm weary and going to sleep
[10:21] <Riddell> valorie: not heard anything from my guy doing planet kde, I'll send him another e-mail to remind about the blog post
[10:21] <Riddell> sleep well valorie 
[10:21] <valorie> have a great day
[10:26] <sitter> I really hate the subdiring on debian git
[10:26] <Riddell> sitter: what would you prefer?
[10:26] <sitter> flat structure like on kde
[10:26] <sitter> before I can clone something I have to lookup where the thing lives, so very annoying
[10:28] <sitter> and konversation is a full source, brrrrrrrrrrr
[10:29] <Riddell> yep
[10:30] <Riddell> I also don't like full source branches but diane I think said not to worry about updating the upstream source
[10:31] <sitter> for CI I think there mustn't be upstream source
[10:33] <Riddell> oh gosh that would be a nightmare
[10:33] <Riddell> even worse than UDD
[10:36] <sitter> well, exactly the same as UDD really :P
[10:52] <sitter_> mh, somehow my konversation toolbar has no tools :'<

[11:29] <Sick_Rimmit> lordievader: You're a very clever fellow. It would appear that you were correct, I just another desktop freeze, and Alt + Tab got me out of it. I'm a happy boy
[11:29] <Sick_Rimmit> Now I just need to trace the cause, and I'll have me a juicy bug report ;-)
[11:29] <lordievader> Sick_Rimmit: :D
[11:30] <lordievader> I believe it is a know bug, but if not, let me know I'll confirm the bug ;)
[11:30] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: alt+shift+F12 help too?
[11:30] <Riddell> I'm also suffering this problem recently
[11:31] <Sick_Rimmit> Ah, yes that turns Compositor Off / On IIRC
[11:32] <Sick_Rimmit> Ah there seems to be something going on with the Window Manager

[11:59] <sitter> why ever are we doing that Oo
[12:00] <Riddell> who knows, drop it
[12:03] <sitter> qtcurve has packagin issue btw
[12:03] <sitter> I think the files in /usr/share/ are shared between both versions, but only packaged in the 4 version and there is no dep tie between the two
[12:04] <sitter> Riddell: are you doing konversation beta upload? kubuntu_unstable should be good for branching to archive
[12:04] <sitter> shadeslayer: is there a particular reason the kf5 dh module doesn't use list-missing? and didn't we already talk about list-missing being provided as module?
[12:05] <sitter> eitherway... without list-missing we have a reliability problem for CI projects that use the module rather than the mk include
[12:10] <Riddell> sitter: I could.  but so could you since you're already looking at it no?
[12:11] <sitter> Riddell: second set of eyes ;)
[12:11] <sitter> there's 300 things that need CI set up -.-
[12:11] <sitter> ubottu: bug 1048606
[12:12] <ubottu> bug 902762 in system-config-printer (Ubuntu Quantal) "duplicate for #1048606 scp-dbus-service.py crashed with ImportError in __main__: No module named asyncconn" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/902762
[12:13]  * sitter scratches head
[12:13] <sitter> I hate patches
[12:14] <lordievader> From #kubuntu: < alvin> The amd64 zsync file on http://files.kde.org/snapshots/kubuntu-plasma5/ is wrong, it has the wrong filename
[12:16] <Riddell> sitter: vale vale
[12:16] <sitter> shadeslayer: so when is phonon getting fixed?
[12:17] <Riddell> lordievader: what does the filename matter?
=== kbroulik is now known as kbroulik-lunch
[12:17] <yofel> zsync won't be able to find the iso file to download?
[12:17] <Riddell> "failed to retrieve from utopic-desktop-amd64.iso" oh yes
[12:18] <lordievader> Riddell: I'm just proxying ;)
[12:18] <Riddell> shadeslayer, sitterL you have access to that place to remove those .zsync files?
[12:18] <yofel> if the ISO is renamed after the lb run, you'll have to re-generate the zsync file
[12:27] <shadeslayer> Riddell: gone
[12:27] <Riddell> thanks
[12:28] <shadeslayer> sitter: debian bug 771220
[12:28] <ubottu> Debian bug 771220 in libphonon4qt5-dev "libphonon4qt5-dev cannot be used in Debian jessie" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/771220
[12:28] <shadeslayer> I can't do much more than that without being a Debian developer :p
[12:29] <sitter> fix it in kubuntu :P
[12:29] <sitter> actually phonon probably should get add to ci
[12:29] <shadeslayer> oh ah ok
[12:29] <sitter> mh
[12:29] <sitter> shadeslayer: thats not the problem I meant
[12:30] <sitter> what I meant was that experimental is needed to use the cmake config but -dev doesn't depend on experimental
[12:30] <ScottK> shadeslayer: You could make an actual debdiff and attach it to the bug.
[12:30] <shadeslayer> sitter: ah that too
[12:30] <ScottK> You might even commit that to the Qt-KDE git repo.
[12:30] <shadeslayer> ScottK: I have a workaround for the bug in the git repo
[12:30] <shadeslayer> but then sitter committed a fix upstream, so I should probably fix that
[12:31] <shadeslayer> s/fix/use/
[12:31] <kubotu> shadeslayer meant: "but then sitter committed a use upstream, so I should probably fix that"
[12:31] <shadeslayer> ...

[12:31] <ScottK> Yeah.

[13:51] <soee> Kubuntu is all i need
[13:55]  * Sick_Rimmit appears in a puff of dust, bits and bytes
[13:58] <Sick_Rimmit> Hmmm...  I think the locking issue on Plasma can be replicated by actively with the Right Click Window manager menu, If you open, select a sub menu then click back to the Window this seems to cause a desktop lock. 
[13:58] <Sick_Rimmit> Is anyone else able to replicate this ?
[13:58] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: that e-mail you answered, I like how his biggest problem with vivid is that he doesn't like the busy cursor :)
[13:59] <Sick_Rimmit> Riddell: Yes, I read it all as a complement too..
[13:59] <Sick_Rimmit> Riddell: Plus, I think it's good to respond in a postive manner, makes people feel welcome

[14:11] <Sick_Rimmit> Whoops, that was me closing Quassel without configuring Hide to SysTray..
[14:14] <Riddell> :)
[14:14] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: I don't think I can recreate your replication of locking but can you describe it again?
[14:15] <Sick_Rimmit> Sure
[14:18] <Sick_Rimmit> Right click on the Title bar of a Window. Then point to more actions in the menu, a sub menu appears, now click the mouse back on the title bar, or window to return focus, you should find that it's locked. Then use Atl+Tab to get it back.
[14:19] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: nope not in my case
[14:19] <Sick_Rimmit> Hmm, ah Ok
[14:20] <Sick_Rimmit> It appears that I can get control back by clicking on another window and then back again, which is different behaviour to the whole desktop locking up
[14:20] <Sick_Rimmit> I suspect they're separate issues..
[14:20] <Riddell> meh
[14:20] <Sick_Rimmit> So I'm no further forward yet then...
[14:21] <Sick_Rimmit> No worries, I'm hammering Plasma 5 as my daily production desktop, I'll get to the bottom of it
[14:21] <Riddell> disable one compositing plugin at a time?
[14:22] <Sick_Rimmit> Yeah could be worth a play, 
[14:23] <Sick_Rimmit> lordievader: suggested memory leak, but on the last two lockups, I checked that and it still had plenty of FreeRAM,
[14:23] <Sick_Rimmit> I get the feeling is signal related...
[14:23] <Sick_Rimmit> But, I'll take a look at the xorg logs next time, see if there is anything in there
[14:28] <Riddell> sitter: you renamed konsole .deb to konsole5 in kf5? is that to keep the kde4 konsole? why would you want to keep the binary?
[14:28] <sitter> Riddell: don't carry that into vivid
[14:29] <sitter> it's utopic compat
[14:29] <sitter> since we can't do a proper restructured migration what with konsole(4) not being CI'd
[14:29] <sitter> for vivid you probably only want to adopt the build-deps and the mk include increement from rules
[14:29] <Riddell> oh cool
[14:31] <soee> sitter: whole desktop lockup or single app ?
[14:31] <soee> Sick_Rimmit: ^
[14:37] <Sick_Rimmit> This time, I got whole desktop
[14:38] <Sick_Rimmit> Using Libreoffice to select records from a spreadsheet, clicked and hold on 1 row, then scroll through to select more, push mouse way of screen to spee up select, and LOCK, whole desktop, Mouse icon is a hand.
[14:38] <Sick_Rimmit> Alt+Tab resolved
[14:40] <Riddell> Sick_Rimmit: I also can't recreate although I'm not sure I'm following right
[14:49] <Sick_Rimmit> It doesn't do it every time, from LibreOffice

=== Blizzzek is now known as Blizzz
[14:57] <Sick_Rimmit> Da dah!!
[14:57] <Riddell> freeze?#
[14:58] <Sick_Rimmit> OK, In LibreOffice I can repeat this,
[14:58] <Sick_Rimmit> Yep
[14:59] <Sick_Rimmit> I have a sheet with 3000 records in it, I click on say the row at 750, and drag the mouse down to select a load of them. Then pusht the mouse up to unselect, and go past to begin selecting those below 750, and it locks up
[15:00] <Sick_Rimmit> In this case Alt_Tab failed to get me out, but I think I know what happened. 
[15:00] <Sick_Rimmit> I switched tty's to go take a look at mem usage, and when I switch back, sddm had locked the screen.
[15:01] <Sick_Rimmit> But something else had keyboard focus so I couldn't type my password in.
[15:01] <Sick_Rimmit> I pressed Alt+Tab and the screen lock vanished (That's probably a bug), and put me back to the desktop no password required.
[15:02] <Sick_Rimmit> But I was still locked out. The junk I had tried typing whilst the screenlock was showing, had been captured in Libreoffice as a cell entry!
[15:02] <Sick_Rimmit> But when I tried to edit, and enter anything I still had no keyboard. 
[15:03] <Sick_Rimmit> Alt+Tab showed me Window selections, but I could not get the keyboard to connect / focus into any of them 
[15:06] <Sick_Rimmit> Ah blow it, I can't get that to repeat now either...
[15:07] <Sick_Rimmit> I'm none the wiser, sorry, I thought I had something there for a moment
[15:07] <Riddell> it's possible it's not very repeatable
[15:08] <Riddell> which is an annoying bug
[15:09] <Sick_Rimmit> Agreed, for sure it's real problem, because I'm getting 5, or 6 lock ups each day, ( So far Friday, and Today )
[15:09] <Sick_Rimmit> I think I'll have to go log diving on the next one.. 
[15:09] <Riddell> gdb is your friend
[15:10] <Riddell> well maybe, you can run gdb but I'm not sure how you'd tell is when to give you a backtrace
[15:10] <Riddell> since it unblocks on alt-tab
[15:10] <Riddell> run gdb in a console and wait for that console to freeze then blindly type bt ?
[15:19] <Sick_Rimmit> I can give it a go.. 
[15:19] <Riddell> obviously test it unfrozen first to make sure it works

[16:04] <Riddell> Mamarok: are you compiling by hand or with kubuntu packaging?
[16:04] <kfunk> utopic
[16:04] <shadeslayer> kfunk: note that we also have the legacy sysv init script
[16:04] <shadeslayer> also
[16:04] <shadeslayer> kfunk: /etc/init.d is for sysv init scripts
[16:04] <shadeslayer> so you still have /etc/init/sddm
[16:04] <shadeslayer> probably
[16:04] <kfunk> yeah. I *think* I had to remove that, but let me try again
[16:06] <Mamarok> Riddell: I do by hand, this wqas mentionned by a usyer who follows my blog to do so
[16:06] <Mamarok> I already have libsoprano-dev, probably pulled in by something else, but I don't remember having installed it myself knowingly
[16:07] <Mamarok> what I do recommend is to get in the dependencies by running build-dep
[16:07] <Mamarok> but in this particular case the guy has always followed my blog, and this was never dragged in for him up until now
[16:08] <Mamarok> (talking about Utopic with backports enabled)
[16:09] <Riddell> Mamarok: I'm pretty sure soprano has always been in build-dep, what's changed is that nepomuk has been removed
[16:09] <Riddell> soprano probably can be too
[16:09] <Mamarok> hm, so maybe I was not aware of that because I reinstalled my system completely for Utopic
[16:10] <Mamarok> but: we do not have "actice" baloo support in current Amarok, it used to have nepomuk, which is now disabled
[16:11] <Riddell> no there isn't any baloo build-dep

[16:40] <Riddell> some cjwatson magic I expect
[16:43] <ScottK> Yes.

[17:14] <sgclark> Riddell: your really working on all those?
[17:15] <Riddell> sgclark: bash for loops for the win
[17:15] <sgclark> shrug ok
[17:17] <genii> On my 15.04, any particular repositories/ppa that should be used? ( like ninjas etc )
[17:18] <Riddell> not currently
[17:18] <Riddell> genii: did you install from the daily image?
[17:19] <genii> Riddell: No, I had to use debootstrap.
[17:20] <Riddell> ah
[17:20] <Riddell> we are packaging KDE Applications 14.12 in ninjas so you can try that but goodness knows if it works or not
[17:21] <genii> OK

[17:54] <snele> Riddell: Hi Riddell. This bug is still not fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-runtime/+bug/1322968
[17:54] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1322968 in kde-runtime (Ubuntu) "Changing country leads to invalid locale" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[17:55] <snele> 14.04 being LTS release, I think it is important
[17:56] <Riddell> sitter: ↑ ?
[17:57] <snele> Riddell: sitter said "Invalid country language combinations lead to invalid locales." and closed the bug and then you reopened it: "Reopening as we shouldn't allow it to set incorrect combinations if those give errors"
[17:58] <snele> just to remind you :)
[17:58] <Riddell> mm, he improved it somewhat in utopic
[17:58] <Riddell> but I think it's too fragile a change to backport to 14.04
[18:00] <snele> many people are affected, there is one more bugreport about the same bug but I cannot find it atm
[18:02] <Riddell> sitter: feelings on an SRU?
[18:07] <Mamarok> Riddell: so is libsoprano-dev a direct dependency of Amarok now or an indirect one due to the reshuffling of dependencies when moving from Nepomuk to Baloo?
[18:08] <Mamarok> I am pretty sure we never depended on it, it never showed up in our README file
[18:31] <Riddell> Mamarok: doesn't seem to be either
[18:32] <Riddell> Mamarok: looking at the build log it says successfully found "* Soprano - Soprano libraries required by Nepomuk Collection" but since it also doesn't find nepomuk I think we can just remove it as a build-depend
[18:33] <Mamarok> I think so, too
[18:39] <yofel> Riddell: did you see my comments about konsole on friday?
[18:40] <genii> Man. This sddm faces thing is annoying. Doesn't automatically pull in users'  ~/.face files ( which is apparently related to org.freedesktop.Account ). Looks like the current workaround is to make a custom /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local to make a symlink from /usr/share/apps/sddm/faces/username.face.icon to their picture in home dir. 
[18:49] <shadeslayer> d_ed: ^^
[18:54] <soee> yo!
[18:55] <Riddell> yofel: nope, I know it needs to be made co-installable wit kde4 kpart, what else?
[18:57] <yofel> Riddell: yeah, that's on the todo. I was more complaining about the weird maintainer, wrong Vcs and watch URLs as the package is marked "done", but really isn't...
[18:58] <Riddell> probably I need to tidy them all up for that
[18:58] <yofel> ah, the changelog is missing too
[18:58] <Riddell> yofel: but what's wrong with the maintainer?
[18:58] <yofel> Debian/Kubuntu/Ubuntu Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org>
[18:59] <Riddell> oh weird
[18:59] <yofel> anyway, if you're going to look through them at the end then ok
[19:00] <Riddell> yofel: what changelog is missing?
[19:00] <yofel> Riddell: er... you wrote " * New upstream RC release" but reverted essentially all kpart splitting stuff that harald did in 4:4.14.2-0ubuntu1
[19:00] <yofel> that's... kind of wrong...
[19:01] <yofel> or well, that's at least not a single change
[19:01] <yofel> but nvm, I was confused because the package was marked as done and looked rather incomplete
[19:04] <Riddell> well it doesn't need to have the kpart splitting stuff surely?
[19:04] <Riddell> thats only for kde4
[19:04] <yofel> right, the changelog still needs to say that it was removed
[19:05] <Riddell> oh right
[19:05] <d_ed> shadeslayer: why did you highlight me?
[19:06] <shadeslayer> d_ed: sddm thingamagjig above
[19:08] <shadeslayer> genii: David says that it should be reading ~/.face
[19:08] <shadeslayer> genii: also, maybe file a bug
[19:09] <d_ed> .face.icon
[19:17] <genii> d_ed: Yes, I have 3 users each with a ~/.face, it's not pulling them in ( just showing all as /usr/share/apps/sddm/faces/default.face.icon instead) . 
[19:17] <genii> I'll file a bug against it
[19:18] <d_ed> ~/.face.icon
[19:18] <yofel> we have ~/.face though, not .face.icon
[19:18] <d_ed> who is "we"
[19:18] <yofel> ubuntu at the very least, I don't know if that even has a specification
[19:18] <genii> I'll rename and see if that works.
[19:20]  * Riddell has vauge memories of accountsservice doing this
[19:28] <genii> Renaming to .face.icon works. Interestingly 14.04/14.10 lightdm also shows thumbnail if it's named that instead of just .face

[20:28] <genii> Hehe, heated discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic whether KDE is supposed to be an OSS version of CDE originally
[20:32] <mamarley> Wikipedia says KDE was kreated by Matthias Ettrich because he was dissatisfied with the lack of consistency of the DEs available at the time.
[20:37]  * mamarley wonders why anyone would get into a flamewar over that anyway.
[20:37] <mamarley> Does it really even matter?
[20:42] <genii> Probably not :-) I think they were fighting more over who was right or not.
[20:47]  * Sick_Rimmit perhaps if they're board they'd be interested in some bug triaging ?
[21:04] <Riddell> genii: sort of like CDE but good
[21:05] <genii> Well, I definitely enjoy it.
[21:10] <ScottK> IIRC Matthias Ettrich's initial posting about KDE didn't mention "like CDE".
[21:12] <Riddell> mamarley: you would if you ever had to use CDE with Netscape Navigator for unix with xeyes with solaris-terminal with whatever the old SunOS office suite was

[21:39] <kfunk> shadeslayer: now I'm at a point where I can't start sddm either way (nor via sysv init sript, nor via systemd, nor via plain invocation) :D
[21:39] <kfunk> I'm giving up
[21:39]  * kfunk defeated
[21:40] <kfunk> shadeslayer: one thing makes me curious:
[21:40] <kfunk> sddm
[21:40] <kfunk> 4:    set "$0" "$@"; INIT_D_SCRIPT_SOURCED=true . /lib/init/init-d-script
[21:40] <kfunk> that's the init.d script. it tries  to source a file I don't even have. where does that come from?
[21:50] <shadeslayer> kfunk: I'd git blame the sddm packaging to see where it comes from
[21:53] <kfunk> shadeslayer: sorry, I can't take no more sddm today. I'll need to recover first ;)
[21:53] <kfunk> it's very frustrating to debug your login manager, tbh
=== rdieter_laptop is now known as rdieter
[22:43] <Riddell> kfunk: the really difficult bit is getting it to work with the live cd pre-desktop screen
[23:16] <sitter> Riddell: I think I even suggested a SRU
[23:17] <sitter> the code isn't more fragile or anything it simply enforces en_GB and en_US as a language to dictate locale, which I still do not agree with but since people apparently want to have this and the GUI doesn't really offer affordance that the combination is wrong it's the best I can offer
[23:19] <sitter> this sort of misconfiguration won't be possible with kf5 anyway as except for the actual LANGUAGE key you cannot diverge from established libc locales anymore
