[01:31] <fdoving> am i the only one with a broken kdm/something on hardy? - it pisses me off when it freezes when i change from X to some vt, and when i logout from kde (to kdm). grr.
[02:16] <nixternal> does anyone know if the KOrganizer MSExchange Plugin is installed as a part of KOrganizer, or is there a package for it somewhere?

[02:41] <nixternal> has 3.5.9 been backported to Gutsy by chance?
[02:53] <nixternal> Hobbsee or ScottK: since Riddell isn't around, what do you think about bug 138950
[02:53] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 138950 in kdepim "[gutsy] Search for 'email' in gnome-app-install does not find kontact" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/138950
[03:20] <vorian> yay!
[03:20] <vorian> done with work for the day
[03:20] <vorian> man this week was long
=== claydoh__ is now known as claydoh
[04:05] <nixternal> woo, up to 106 fixed bugs!
[04:21] <vorian> nixternal: you teh awesome
[07:04] <ScottK2> nixternal: 105. That akregator thing still happens for me.
[07:07] <nixternal> which one is that?
[07:07] <nixternal> I have worked on so much akregator stuff
[07:10] <ScottK2> Bug #82594
[07:10] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 82594 in kdepim "Akregrator starts automatically in Feisty" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/82594
[07:16] <nixternal> are you using 3.5.9?
[07:16] <ScottK2> Yes
[07:17] <ScottK2> I even updated one more time just to be sure right before I tested it.
[07:18] <nixternal> hrmm, if I fire up Kontact, it doesn't start..if I fire up Akregator, then log out and log back on, Akregator isn't starting back up
[07:18] <nixternal> if it is still doing it, then it is the KDE save state that is getting you and not akregator
[07:19] <ScottK2> Start Kontact. Don't start Akregator. Reboot with Kontact running. I get Akregator running after the reboot.
[07:19] <ScottK2> That's slightly different than what you describe testing.
[07:20] <nixternal> hrmm, I don't get that...it must be a stuck config possibly for you?
[07:20] <nixternal> Akregator doesn't start up here until I tell it to
[07:20] <nixternal> I even have "Show Icon" selected
[07:20] <ScottK2> Unlikely since I've never used Akregator on that machine, I think it's unlikely
[07:20] <ScottK2> It's all default and it does it with more than one user.
[07:21] * nixternal gives it another shot
[07:23] <nixternal> OK, does it automatically check your feeds or no?
[07:24] <nixternal> it doesn't check my feeds until I actually hit the "check all feeds" button
[07:25] <nixternal> nixternal@ShakaDoobie:~$ ps -e |grep akregator
[07:25] <nixternal> nixternal@ShakaDoobie:~$
[07:25] <nixternal> nada
[07:25] <ScottK2> Weird. For me as soon as it's running I have the Akgregator icon telling me how many unread I have.
[07:25] <serega> Hey
[07:26] <ScottK2> I'll try and fiddle with it some more and see if I can replicate it on another box.
[07:26] <nixternal> I have the Akregator icon, but it isn't checking my feeds until I hit the downloads
[07:26] <nixternal> hiya serega
[07:26] <nixternal> well, one thing too about Akregator, none of the KDE 3 bugs are going to be fixed upstream apparently either
[07:26] <ScottK2> nixternal: If you have the icon, then Akregator is running.
[07:27] <ScottK2> That's a bug.
[07:27] * nixternal thinks it is time to write a solid feed reader
[07:27] <ScottK2> I'm outta gas. I'm off to bed. Good night.
[07:27] <nixternal> ScottK2: I can have it not show the icon, but akregator isn't showing up anywhere as running
[07:27] <nixternal> g'nite
[07:27] <ScottK2> So why does the icon show up?
[07:27] <nixternal> cuz I tell it to
[07:28] <ScottK2> But I never did.
[07:28] <nixternal> ahhhh, I see what you are saying
[07:28] <ScottK2> Really going to bed now.
[07:28] <nixternal> I didn't start it actually before I logged out
[07:28] <nixternal> however it did show up
[07:28] <ScottK> Yes.
[07:28] <ScottK> Not there before reboot. There after. Not what it should be.
[07:28] <nixternal> still isn't checking anything, and akregator doesn't show in sys info until I run a feed grab
[07:29] <ScottK> It's doing something it wasn't before.
[07:29] <ScottK> Off to bed. No. Really.
[07:29] <nixternal> I see what you are saying, then I guess that is a bug, the icon shouldn't start up, but you can prevent the icon and it not checking by selecting those 2 options
[07:29] <serega> where to file issues of hardy? I believe there is separate bugtracker
[07:29] <nixternal> hehe, g'nite
[07:29] <nixternal> nope
[07:29] <nixternal> serega: all the same bug tracker
[07:29] <serega> ScottK: good night
[07:30] <serega> oh, ok, how do we know the issue is about hardy? tags?
[07:31] <nixternal> add the information that is a hardy bug, or start off the subject of the report with [Hardy], or as you said, tag it as hardy :)
[07:31] <serega> thanks ;)

[08:47] <Riddell> hola
[08:50] <serega> Riddell: hey, Jonathan
=== hunger_t is now known as hunger
[09:30] <serega> I am performing "pbuilder create --distribution hardy". is it right distribution?
[09:38] <serega> I mean doesn't it point to GNOME-based one?
[09:44] <hunger> serega: I am no expert, but I think you are doing the right thing.
[09:44] <hunger> serega: AFAIK the pbuilder is a very bare bones system that pulls in everything listed as a build dependency in the deb you are building.
[10:30] <Hobbsee> serega: it is, yes
[10:33] <serega> oh... I see. The first "pbuilder build" is downloading kubuntu now :)
[10:36] <Hobbsee> pbuilder is dm-neutral
[10:40] <yao_ziyuan> poor smarter, where r u
[10:41] <yao_ziyuan> but since smarter has pointed out how to install input methods in kubuntu correctly:
[10:41] <yao_ziyuan> install scim-skim-pinyin
[10:41] <yao_ziyuan> QT_IM_MODULE=...
[10:41] <yao_ziyuan> GTK_IM_MODULE=...
[10:42] <yao_ziyuan> you developers should already know how to fix that bug
[10:43] <Hobbsee> yao_ziyuan: patches accepted.
[10:43] <yao_ziyuan> sigh
[10:43] <Hobbsee> sigh back.
[10:45] <yao_ziyuan> anyone with a fresh kubuntu please do this experiment:
[10:45] <yao_ziyuan> install the package scim-skim-pinyin
[10:45] <yao_ziyuan> then go to Konsole,
[10:45] <serega> Hobbsee: yes, I understand. It's just dependencies of my package :)
[10:45] <yao_ziyuan> press Ctrl+Space, and then type "wo"
[10:45] <Hobbsee> sarah@saturn:~% apt-cache show scim-skim-pinyin 9:45PM
[10:45] <Hobbsee> W: Unable to locate package scim-skim-pinyin
[10:45] <Hobbsee> E: No packages found
[10:46] <Hobbsee> sarah@saturn:~% apt-cache search scim-skim 9:45PM
[10:46] <Hobbsee> sarah@saturn:~%
[10:46] <Hobbsee> ?
[10:46] <yao_ziyuan> or skim-scim-pinyin
[10:46] <Hobbsee> freeflying: did you have a patch still for uploading for skim, btw?
[10:47] <Hobbsee> yao_ziyuan: ah yes, that actually exists.
[10:47] <yao_ziyuan> install that package
[10:47] <yao_ziyuan> and "smarter" says he then gets chinese input
[10:48] <yao_ziyuan> go to a text field like the one in Run Command
[10:48] * Hobbsee wonders why smarter hasn't provided a patch either yet, then.
[10:48] <yao_ziyuan> right-click it, select "Input Method" in the menu
[10:48] <Hobbsee> smarter is a dev, no?
[10:48] <yao_ziyuan> smarter is someone here days ago
[10:48] <yao_ziyuan> but i haven't seen him since
[10:49] <Hobbsee> blink
[10:49] <Hobbsee> mq, you suck.
[10:49] <yao_ziyuan> Hobbsee: after installing that package,
[10:50] <emonkey> yao_ziyuan, I've installed that package but it happens nothing if I press ctrl-space and type wo
[10:50] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: in a text box?
[10:50] <emonkey> in a konsole
[10:50] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: maybe a re-login is needed
[10:50] <emonkey> ok, then I'll try that later
[10:50] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: in Run Command's text field, right click, and in the "Input Method" menu select "SCIM"
[10:51] <yao_ziyuan> K Menu -> Run Command -> Right click in the text box -> Select "Select Input Method" -> Select "Smart Common Input Method"
[10:52] <emonkey> Yes I did that
[10:52] <yao_ziyuan> i think the best way is to go to #ubuntu-devel and call for help
[10:52] <yao_ziyuan> since ubuntu developers know better in scim setup
[10:53] <emonkey> o_O I don't need it, i just want to help testing the package ...
[10:53] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: "smarter" said after installing that package he could type chinese ...
[10:54] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: by selecting "scim" in the right click menu of a text box
[10:54] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: and for k apps that don't offer a "Select Input Method" right-click menu item, he can use "QT_IM_MODULE=scim" to solve it
[10:55] <emonkey> konversation offers this option too
[10:55] <emonkey> but I don't how its possible to type chinese ...
[10:55] <blizzzek> that bulletproofx-thing in hardy is half-working. i can configure it, but a blank black screen follows. when i restart kdm via tty, it starts with the configured settings.
[11:01] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: if you ctrl+space and type "wo" and some chinese characters show up in a floating window, you succeed
[11:03] <yao_ziyuan> i recall now
[11:03] <yao_ziyuan> what 'smarter' said is this:
[11:03] <yao_ziyuan> 1. install "skim-scim-pinyin"
[11:03] <emonkey> done
[11:03] <yao_ziyuan> 2. possibily restart your session or computer
[11:03] <emonkey> not done, but I'll do that lazer
[11:03] <yao_ziyuan> 3. in K Menu -> Run Command, press Ctrl+Space, and type "wo", you should see chinese chars popping up
[11:04] <yao_ziyuan> emonkey: you're in kubuntu right?
[11:04] <emonkey> of course I've got nothin else ;)
[11:04] <yao_ziyuan> i'm watching a downloaded movie now.
[11:33] <freeflying> Hobbsee: I prefer to sync from sid
[11:33] <Hobbsee> freeflying: right. did that get done?
[11:34] <freeflying> Hobbsee: yes, it hit the archie today
[11:34] <Hobbsee> oh good
[11:35] <freeflying> Hobbsee: and also I hope to drop skim out of cd, and make it install after scim, then it can work fine in kubuntu now
[11:35] <Hobbsee> nice
[11:36] <freeflying> Hobbsee: or we'd have a postinst in language-pack-kde-zh, make it call the configure of skim, then everything will be ok(for CJK user)
[11:36] * Hobbsee nods
[11:37] <freeflying> Hobbsee: do we need to talk with pitt
[11:38] <Hobbsee> freeflying: unsure. ask him anyway
[11:38] <freeflying> or ArneGoetje, he is the right one now in charge of CJK support in canonical
[11:40] <freeflying> Hobbsee: can we have a stable kde4 livecd now?
[11:42] <Hobbsee> unsure, tbh
[11:42] <Hobbsee> i think so
[11:47] <serega> every "pbuilder build" it reinstalls a bunch of packages, is it normal?
[11:49] <freeflying> serega: pbuilder has a bit difference between buildd
[11:50] <jpatrick> afternoon
[11:50] <serega> do you mean somebody made changes to some packages between two builds?
[11:50] <freeflying> serega: no, I mean the way they work
