[02:14] <valorie> shadeslayer: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/12/13/UDS-Badge-Kubuntu_shadeslayer_back_1.png worked perfectly for me
[02:15] <valorie> http://wstaw.org/m/2012/12/14/rect3810.png did not scan with my phone
[02:16] <valorie> http://wstaw.org/m/2012/12/14/rect3810.png works too

[09:01] <apachelogger> Sput: shouldn't kwin fall in the category of 'modern post-ICCCM'?
[09:02] <Sput> apachelogger: I guess, and it seems to work everywhere except maybe sometimes on *buntu
[09:03] <apachelogger> brave assumption considering that everywhere else does not use it by default :P
[09:04] <Sput> hm?
[09:04] <Sput> what is this "default" thingy you keep talking about?
[09:06] <apachelogger> having the quassel as the irc client you get when you installed a given operating system
[09:06] <Sput> ah, I thought you were talking about kwin
[09:06] <apachelogger> no one uses kwin :P
[09:07] <apachelogger> Sput: I do wonder why you have that fullscreen option at all though
[09:07] <Sput> I certainly use kwin and can fullscreen with now problem
[09:07] <Sput> and we have the fullscreen option because users requested it and sent patches
[09:07] <apachelogger> well
[09:07] <apachelogger> http://onscreencars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/TheHomer.jpg :P
[09:08] <Sput> people love it especially on netbooks and tablets
[09:09] <apachelogger> that's beause quassel has so many frames consuming space
[09:09] <apachelogger> Sput: did you also get the same backtrace?
[09:09] <Sput> I can't reproduce
[09:09] <Sput> neither could anybody else not using kubuntu so far
[09:10] <Sput> and even for kubuntu users it tends to happen only sometimes, if at all
[09:10] <apachelogger> Sput: the dude in the bug apparently can reproduce it somewhat reliably
[09:10] <apachelogger> in case you have questions
[09:11] <Sput> well, as all *we* do is calling showFullscreen(), I'd blame Qt or the window manager
[09:13] <Sput> but let me have an actual look at the stacktrace
[09:15] <Sput> I would say KToggleFullScreenAction goes into a loop somehow
[09:16] <apachelogger> yeah, just saw that as well
[09:16] <apachelogger> explains the stack exhaustion
[09:17] <yofel> hm, I think I just reproduced that. Ctrl+Shift+F -> Whole UI except mouse froze -> after half a minute quassel crashed
[09:17] <yofel> and now apport-retrace is being mean to me -.-
[09:20] <Sput> and I can't reproduce that issue on Gentoo or Arch :/
[09:20] <yofel> well, I'll agree that this is probably something with Qt...
[09:23] <Sput> or KDE
[09:24] <Sput> unless we're misusing the KToggleFullscreenAction, but why would it work elsewhere then?
[09:24] <yofel> now *this* is fun:
[09:24] <yofel> *** glibc detected *** gdb: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00000000023c6250 ***
[09:24] <yofel> first time I've seen gdb crash o.O
[09:25] <tsdgeos> you're lucky then :D
[09:25] <tsdgeos> it crashes almost reliably here
[09:25] <yofel> yay......
[09:25] <tsdgeos> just have to set lots of breakpoints, recompile app, restart it
[09:25] <tsdgeos> boom!
[09:26] <tsdgeos> 70% of the time gdb complains about something and i lose the breakpoints when it crashes :-/
[09:26] <apachelogger> Only checkable actions can be checked. By default, this is false (the action is unchecked).
[09:26] <tsdgeos> and obiously 70% is an invented number :D but happens soon enough
[09:26] <apachelogger> Sput: you are misusing it :P
[09:27] <apachelogger> actually
[09:27] <apachelogger> if ( d->window->isFullScreen() != isChecked() )
[09:27] <apachelogger> activate( QAction::Trigger );
[09:27] <apachelogger> ^ event filter
[09:28] <apachelogger> so the way to exhaust the stack would be to have the action's checked state diverge from the actual fullscreenness of the windows
[09:28] <apachelogger> -s
[09:31] <apachelogger> so it keeps loopying in that event filter until at some point for some reason it manages to break out of it and actually apply the toggle
[09:31] <yofel> yeah, crashes somewhere in the event filter http://paste.kde.org/625118/
[09:31] <apachelogger> at which point it is lucky enough to have exhaust the stack
[09:32] <apachelogger> which in turn makes it very much stack size dependent
[09:32] <Sput> so the action is broken
[09:32] <apachelogger> maybe, maybe not
[09:34] <apachelogger> Sput: Important: If you need to set/change the fullscreen state manually, use KToggleFullScreenAction::setFullScreen() or a similar function, do not call directly the slot connected to the toggled() signal. The slot still needs to explicitly set the window state though.
[09:35] <apachelogger> you are using it wrong I say :P
[09:35] <apachelogger> also
[09:35] <apachelogger> Note: Do NOT use QWidget::showFullScreen() or QWidget::showNormal(). They have several side-effects besides just switching the fullscreen state (for example, showNormal() resets all window states, not just fullscreen). Use the KToggleFullScreenAction::setFullScreen() helper function.
[09:37] <apachelogger> yofel, tsdgeos: can one of you rebuild and test?
[09:37] <yofel> did you fix it in git?
[09:37] <apachelogger> src/qtui/mainwin.cpp
[09:37] <apachelogger> void MainWin::toggleFullscreen()
[09:38] <tsdgeos> apachelogger: i don't have quassel sources, besides i'm busy writing qml somewhere else
[09:38] <apachelogger> instead of showNormal and showFullScreen call KToggleFullScreenAction::setFullScreen(this, false); and KToggleFullScreenAction::setFullScreen(this, true);
[09:38] <apachelogger> yofel: ^
[09:38] <apachelogger> (yes that function is static)
[09:39] <yofel> will take a bit to build it, but I can try
[09:39] <apachelogger> I was under the impression quassel was a rather fast build
[09:39] <apachelogger> or am I mixing up things in my head again
[09:40] <yofel> well, I can try to build only the client, that shouldn't take too long
[09:40] <yofel> this isn't my fastest PC here
[09:40] <apachelogger> ah
[09:41] * apachelogger is not at home either :P
[09:41] <apachelogger> also I wasn't able to reproduce it anyway
[09:42] <yofel> well, happened 2/2 times here, so I'll try it
[09:42] <apachelogger> probaly the slot should follow whatever the checkedness is rather than what the fullscreeness is
[09:43] * yofel notes that this probably needs wrapping into the kde detection
[09:44] <yofel> I doubt plain Qt has KToggleFullScreenAction
[09:51] <apachelogger> yofel: it's just so we know whether it fixes the problem
[09:52] <apachelogger> proper fix needs a different slot anyway as to obey the action's signal toggled(bool) rather than discard the bool
[09:53] <yofel> hm, didn't crash. But let me build git without that fix to be sure it actually makes a difference
[09:55] <yofel> apachelogger: yep, fix works
[10:00] <yofel> hm... at least I hope it does. Now X is in a loop without quassel *-.-
[10:04] <apachelogger> well, once the loop happened X may be broken :P
[10:04] <yofel> yeah, your fix works, without it hell breaks loose here
[10:04] <apachelogger> xlib is easily confused

[12:24] <shadeslayer> ohai
[12:25] <Riddell> ohai? a new indian word to me
[12:26] <Riddell> shadeslayer: did you do your seed merging?
[12:27] <shadeslayer> not yet
[12:28] <shadeslayer> a bit perplexed on how to add active-ship to supported
[12:28] <Riddell> shadeslayer: just add it in STRUCTURE no?
[12:29] <shadeslayer> hm
[12:29] <shadeslayer> ah okay
[12:29] <shadeslayer> lemme update
[12:34] <shadeslayer> god damnit TCS, stop emailing me
[12:34] <Riddell> who?
[12:35] <shadeslayer> Riddell: Indian IT Company where I got hired but never bothered to join
[12:35] <shadeslayer> they're asking everyone who got hired to come join the company on 18th of this month
[12:36] <shadeslayer> and I keep getting emails about attire guidelines and how to sit in the office :
[12:36] <shadeslayer> :)
[12:36] <shadeslayer> They basically hire anyone who can write hello world in C/C++/Java
[12:47] <yofel> ... and let them work on... what?
[12:55] <shadeslayer> yofel: it's a services company, so it's mostly maintainence work, and once people join, they train them for 3-4 months
[12:55] <shadeslayer> so that they can work on the code
[12:56] <shadeslayer> kids here are falling head over heals to work for companies like TCS/Infosys/HCL
[12:56] <shadeslayer> not sure why ....
[12:59] <shadeslayer> Riddell: http://marcuzzokde.blogspot.in/2012/12/kids-size-kde.html < Kubuntu being used there :D
[13:17] <Riddell> awooga
[13:21] <BluesKaj> Hi all
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
[13:55] <Quintasan> \o
[14:02] <agateau> shadeslayer: "how to sit in the office"? I want to read that!
[14:04] <Quintasan> totally
[14:04] <Quintasan> shadeslayer: Can I have you create a poll for business card designs or you want me to do that?
=== Tonio_aw is now known as Tonio_
[14:08] <Quintasan> hmm
[14:08] <Quintasan> shadeslayer: We only have three designs?
[14:11] <Quintasan> 4 including the one at your p.u.c
[14:17] <jussi> hrm
[14:18] <jussi> Is the updates ppa going to get an update soon? its only 4.9.4...
[14:20] <yofel> what are you expecting to see?
[14:21] <jussi> couple of points higher?
[14:21] <yofel> 4.9.5 isn't out yet, and 4.9.90 is in beta
[14:21] <jussi> wait... how does that work?
[14:22] <jussi> Im now very confused
[14:22] <yofel> updates PPA is for point releases. i.e. 4.9.3 -> 4.9.4. Backports is for 4.X -> 4.Y updates after release, beta ppa before it's released
[14:22] <yofel> so 4.9.4 is in updates, 4.9.90 in beta, 4.10 will be in backports
[14:23] <shadeslayer> Quintasan: please do
[14:24] <shadeslayer> agateau: sec :P
[14:24] <yofel> great, google doesn't find our ppa docs o.O
[14:24] <shadeslayer> Quintasan: if you do create the poll, use http://people.ubuntu.com/~rohangarg/cards/UDS-Badge-Kubuntu_shadeslayer.svg and http://people.ubuntu.com/~rohangarg/cards/UDS-Badge-Kubuntu_shadeslayer_back_QR.svg from me
[14:25] <yofel> now...
[14:25] <jussi> yofel: Im more confused about the order of kde releases...
[14:25] <yofel> jussi: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/KubuntuPPAs
[14:25] <yofel> jussi: what do you mean? What the version numbers stand for?
[14:25] <yofel> or that 4.9.5 comes out after 4.9.90?
[14:25] <jussi> yes, the latter
[14:26] <yofel> 4.9.5 is bugfix for 4.9, 4.9.90 is beta2 for 4.10
[14:26] <yofel> 4.9 will get bugfixes until 4.10 is out
[14:26] <jussi> uhuh
[14:26] <jussi> ok
[14:26] <jussi> see, I kind f thought it was linear...
[14:26] <jussi> :/
[14:26] <yofel> well, it is, but the betas and RCs don't count
[14:26] <jussi> thank you for the explanation though
[14:27] <yofel> s/but/as/
[14:27] <kubotu> yofel meant: "well, it is, as the betas and RCs don't count"
[14:27] <BluesKaj> odd they would cal 4.9.9 , 4.10 ..one expects a %.0 not a 4.ten
[14:28] <BluesKaj> 5.0 that is
[14:28] <ScottK> No.
[14:28] <ScottK> The first digit is a major version number that indicates an ABI break in kdelibs
[14:29] <shadeslayer> agateau: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17090527/HSE-%20Office%20Ergonomics%20Flyer.pdf
[14:29] <BluesKaj> I know it's no , but to me after 4.9 comes 5
[14:30] <tsimpson> it's all to do with ABI
[14:30] <yofel> it'll be more fun when we have KDE Workspaces and Applications 4.11 using KDE Platform 5.0 - assuming that they'll have it done in half a year
[14:30] <agateau> shadeslayer: it's not that bad actually
[14:30] <Riddell> version numbers != decimal numbers
[14:31] <agateau> BluesKaj: what comes after 4.9.5?
[14:31] <BluesKaj> it should be 4.10.0
[14:32] <yofel> it will be, but how do you version the 4.10 beta so it's lower than 4.10 -> you use 4.9.90
[14:32] <BluesKaj> agateau, if you don't know , then whay are you asking me ?
[14:32] <agateau> BluesKaj: let me rephrase: "what comes after 4.9.5 to you?"
[14:33] <BluesKaj> I'm used to laboratory decimal measure convention, it looks odd to my eye
[14:34] <BluesKaj> 4.9.6
[14:34] <agateau> I agree 4.10.0 is more correct. And this is actually what is used in formal texts.
[14:34] <agateau> just not that much in irc conversations
[14:35] <BluesKaj> 4.9.7, 4.9.8, 4.9.9, 5.0
[14:35] <BluesKaj> or 5.00
[14:35] <yofel> BluesKaj: application version numbers usually follow this idea: Major.Minor.Patch.Build - where every position isn't limited to a single digit
[14:35] <BluesKaj> I'm used to metric measure ..
[14:36] <yofel> chromium-browser follows that nicely: 23.0.1271.91
[14:36] <BluesKaj> makes more sense to my lab oriented mind
[14:37] <tsimpson> the dot is just a separator, not a decimal point
[14:37] <tsimpson> could just as easily been a comma
[15:48] <rdieter> hi, I just worked with dantti this morning to fix an arguably nasty bug in print-manager that fills cups access_log and users' .xsession-errors with excessive logging about printer subscription renewals, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311528
[15:48] <ubottu> KDE bug 311528 in general "Renew-Subscription spam in /var/log/cups/access_log" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]
[15:48] <rdieter> and patch against 0.2 : http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kde-print-manager.git/tree/print-manager-0.2.0-cups_renew_spam.patch?h=f18
[15:49] <rdieter> since you're shipping it by default (so i'm told) like we are, enjoy.
[15:49] <Riddell> lovely, thanks rdieter
[15:51] <rdieter> much nicer to renew every 3500 seconds, rather than milliseconds
[15:58] <shadeslayer> heh
[16:44] <Riddell> ScottK: problems in kblocks nad kbounce?
[16:44] <ScottK> Riddell: Yes. Missing copyrights. I fixed and uploaded kblocks. Doing kbounce right now.
[16:45] <Riddell> thanks
[16:45] <ScottK> For a one or two line fix in debian/copyright, it's easier for me just to fix and reupload.
[17:33] <ScottK> Riddell: Same with kfourinline
[17:44] <ScottK> And kgoldrunner
[18:42] <xnox> why are we shipping 71 empty language-pack-kde-* packages?
[18:46] <yofel> xnox: IIRC they act as meta packages
[18:46] <yofel> currently at least
[18:47] <xnox> yofel: and kde-l10n-CC cannot act as metapackages?
[18:48] <shadeslayer> ooooohhhhhhhhh
[18:48] <shadeslayer> yofel: I found something
[18:48] <xnox> yofel: also language-pack-kde-* pull in gnome translations.
[18:48] <shadeslayer> yofel: pull-lp-source freetype
[18:48] <shadeslayer> and read the rules
[18:49] <yofel> probably, but I think our language-selector stand-in currently needs the language-pack stuff
[18:49] <yofel> xnox: does language-pack-CC contain gnome translations?
[18:49] <shadeslayer> they do 2 builds :D
[18:49] <xnox> yofel: it has a dependency to gnome language packs.
[18:50] <shadeslayer> btw has anyone tried out infinality?
[18:50] <yofel> xnox: but if we're already on that matter, if someone installs nautilus - how would that get translated without the language pack installed?
[18:52] <xnox> yofel: my naive expection for incomplete-language support daemon to notice things like that.
[18:52] <yofel> IIRC that's currenly broken as we don't use language-selector, but I haven't looked at l10n much lately
[19:16] <ScottK> Riddell: No messages.sh in kgoldrunner or kiriki. I'd accepted kgoldrunner before I noticed. Rejecting kiriki (and not fixing it myself). Would you please have a look at both.
[19:16] <ScottK> Riddell: Sorry, kgoldrunner's fine. It was kigo.
[19:22] <ScottK> kjumpingcube was missing a copyright. Fixed and reuploaded.
=== ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube
[23:10] <Noskcaj> why do you guys still have a ppc version? no-one can run kubuntu on ppc (at least old-world macs) so it get essentially no use and hasn't been tested since i joined.
[23:18] <Riddell> Noskcaj: it only gets released if it's tested so someone will have
[23:18] <Riddell> in general I'd be all for dropping it but others have the opinion of keep it while it gets tested
