[Di Mär 18 2008] [17:03:32] KDE SIG Meeting Init, who's present today? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:03:38] Present. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:03:46] ping: than svahl ltinkl foo* [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:03:50] pong [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:03:53] present [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:05:10] okie dokie, topic 1: PolicyKit fun [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:05:26] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE-SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-18 -- PolicyKit integration http://bugzilla.redhat.com/428212". [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:05:34] PolicyKit integration http://bugzilla.redhat.com/428212 [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:05:50] Kevin_Kofler: looks like you've made some good progress, update? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:06:25] I have a patch which I think should work, I haven't done any testing yet, not even built it, though. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:06:46] The patch also works around the NTFS/HAL issue. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:06:56] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=378041 [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:06:58] Bug 378041: medium, high, ---, Kevin Kofler, ASSIGNED , unable to mount removable/ntfs [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:07:06] can you outline what it does bascially? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:07:15] (reported against KDE 3, but KDE 4 has the same problem) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:08:06] The workaround for lack of PolicyKit support (428212) is that if HAL returns the PermissionDeniedByPolicy error, instead of sending the D-Bus message directly, I run kdesu dbus-send. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:08:33] (I've stolen that hack from Kubuntu's KDE 3 patch, but I've rewritten the code for KDE 4.) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:09:18] The workaround for the NTFS problem is that I only pass uid= option for the 4 file systems for which HAL allows it without throwing an "unknown error" (I looked at the offending source file). [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:09:34] eww, ok, I remember now. :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:10:17] we're still of the opinion the better/proper place to fix this is hal? If so, how? Can we offer help/patches to fix hal? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:10:23] The Kubuntu KDE 3 patch only omits it for ntfs, but it will error for everything which is not vfat, iso9660, udf or hfs, so I filter it out for everything except those 4. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:10:26] And be "we" I really mean you. :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:11:04] HAL should be doing one of these: [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:11:19] * not listing the uid= option as allowed if it's going to error with a "TODO" on it [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:11:30] * rdieter goes to refill coffee, brb [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:11:39] * doing something sensible with uid=, even if it's PermissionDeniedByPolicy for non-root [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:12:09] I think those are the 2 acceptable solutions, the status quo isn't. :-( [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:13:34] Oh, and if uid= is listed as allowed, at least root MUST be allowed to use it, denying unconditionally for non-root users, while suboptimal, would be tolerable though. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:14:15] part of the problem, is davidz thinks this to be a kde issue, because gnome seems fine. Anyone have ideas/theories why we're the only ones seeing this then? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:14:41] Because GNOME isn't using uid=, most likely [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:14:44] ie, gnome-mount works fine. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:15:44] By the way, the kdesu hack is likely to be a problem for FUSE mounts like ntfs-3g, because the stuff will be mounted by root. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:15:45] ok. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:15:53] crap [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:16:40] Removable NTFS partitions should work fine (and in fact uid= is useless with FUSE, so it's OK to omit it, it shouldn't be listed as supported in the first place), fixed ones probably won't work. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:16:56] Fixed non-FUSE partitions will work thanks to the kdesu workaround. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:17:29] I don't think we can do much better without fully PolicyKit support. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:17:37] -y [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:18:52] ok, thanks. any volunteers to test out the patch? (else I'll do it... eventually when I get roundtuit) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:19:40] Kevin_Kofler: to be clear, what you have so far is just the kde3 support/patch, right? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:19:54] No, the KDE 4 one. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:20:02] The KDE 3 one is what the Kubuntu patch is. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:20:13] ok. me = duh [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:20:51] Since hal in f7 seems ok, should we make the kde3 patch for f8+ only, or patch everywhere/ [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:20:51] ? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:05] I'd say F8+ only. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:09] nod [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:22] I plan to do some minor edits to the Kubuntu KDE 3 patch: [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:25] * only pass uid= for the 4 file systems where HAL allows it, not everything except ntfs [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:35] * rip out kdesudo support [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:48] Kevin_Kofler: good, thx. let me know, and I'll work to test that one out too. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:53] moving on... [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:21:55] * use kdesu in a better way (don't set caption to untranslated "Authenticate", use the translated default caption instead) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:22:41] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf " KDE-SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-18 -- KDE4 in Desktop User Guide http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide". [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:22:51] KDE4 in Desktop User Guide http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:23:02] Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not see any KDE4 content there, just F8/KDE3 references ?? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:23:29] Am I blind, looking in the wrong place, doc not updated? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:23:31] that seems to be true [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:23:33] (Correction: Actually "Authenticate" is i18n-ed properly, but overriding the message is still not needed.) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:23:49] rdieter: Well, that's kinda the point. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:23:58] The KDE section is still written for KDE 3. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:24:10] I thought Marc W... was working on that? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:24:38] He said on his blog he wants to update it once the beta is out. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:24:50] oh, I misread then. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:25:01] (in the comments) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:25:04] "KDE users look over it for the kde sections just remember it's for F-9 not F-8 when you are looking at it. " [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:25:12] confused me a bit [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:25:17] Indeed. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:25:40] We discussed this in the comments, and there he said he'll update the KDE section after the beta. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:26:00] The application sections are supposed to be up to date for F9 though, I'm not sure if they actually are. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:26:26] For the KDE section, I'd say we give him the time to update it, if it's still in need of updating in a couple weeks, I can help him out. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:27:19] ok, job #2: look over DUG for other stale kde content, revist in a couple weeks=> Kevin_Kofler :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:27:31] any other comment here? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:28:28] sounds good [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:28:47] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf " KDE-SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-18 -- Status of konq-plugins". [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:28:54] topic 3: Status of konq-plugins [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:28:56] svahl: ? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:29:17] sorry, no progress here. with kde-4.0.2 the sidebar is working again [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:29:36] but my time is very limited atm to proceed [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:29:37] I really want this in the F9 release. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:30:14] me too. But it seems to be unmaintained upstream (I've got no answer to a mail). There are only some fixes in svn [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:30:15] what are those plugins specifically? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:30:42] A lot of nice things: sidebar, BabelFish integration and other stuff like that. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:30:59] svahl: status? submitted for review, pending review, pending import? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:31:14] not submitted for review yet [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:31:18] a lot of what used to be in kdeaddons [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:31:38] svahl: does it build (yet)? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:32:11] yes. and my last checkout works at least for the sidebar (icons where missing, but ok) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:32:36] svahl: need some packaging help then? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:32:57] more testing than packaging. :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:33:16] Forget the testing, just get this thing in. :-) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:33:25] have time to submit for review? Then, others can start helping wrt testing and such. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:33:40] submitting should be easy. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:33:51] ok, sounds like a plan. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:34:06] ok. I'll have a final look at the spec and submit it this evening. But please promise to test it :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:34:18] nod [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:34:36] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf " KDE-SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-18 -- kmix/mute doesn't work, http://bugzilla.redhat.com/437962". [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:34:46] next topic: kmix/mute doesn't work, http://bugzilla.redhat.com/437962 [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:34:58] can anyone confirm, nack this ? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:35:24] rdieter: you sure you selected the right master channel, sometimes this doesn't work automatically [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:35:36] * ltinkl tries to reproduce [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:36:27] This is likely to be dependent on the ALSA setup (with or without PA, if without: what hardware, ...). [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:36:37] ltinkl: I think it's right (mine lists PCM as master channel) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:36:40] rdieter: works for me [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:36:47] hmm, I get no tray icon and an empty mixer window, prolly coz I dont use ALSA O_o [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:36:55] bummer [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:37:14] svahl: does it behave like kde3 for you, in that the systray icon changes? (mine doesn't) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:37:36] If it works with the ALSA+PA setup used by default in the live CD, then IMHO it's not a showstopper. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:37:40] yes. when muting the icon is changed [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:37:57] ok, something is goofy for me then, like I said, nothing happens for me. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:38:04] I've tested it on a local installation. Haven't checked the livecd [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:38:09] oh well, I'll try another user. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:38:20] and/or blow away my current settings. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:38:24] let's move on. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:38:32] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf " KDE-SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-18 -- Open Discussion". [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:38:41] that's it for agenda topics: open discussion [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:38:57] brainstorming: gnome-packagekit, swfdec, artwork [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:39:19] nspluginwrapper integration [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:39:38] svahl: Should I mark kaudiocreator as deferred due to instability? (So we mark it off the progress towards 100% of FeatureKDE4)? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:39:39] hrm, we should have some sort of kde4/TODO list on the wiki. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:40:08] + update FeatureKDE4 wiki [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:40:26] Kevin_Kofler: yes, please do so. (Every second checkout seems to be broken. So it's not really maintainable ATM, at least for me) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:40:41] reminds me of knetworkmanager... [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:41:07] dgilmore: :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:41:39] Uh don't understand how kaudiocreator can be breaking every second checkout as it hasn't changed at all since my bugfix commit. ;-) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:42:45] But anyway, it's not critical for F9, there are other options for ripping around (e.g. k3b). [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:42:47] Kevin_Kofler: it worked after your patch (means: it was starting without crashing). But now it crashes when you try to rip a cd :( [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:43:09] at least when I last tried it [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:44:02] wrt: packagekit... http://wire.dattitu.de/archives/2008/03/15/KDE4-port-of-openSUSE-Updater,-KDE-4.1-snapshot-4.0.66,-FOSDEM-talk.html [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:44:28] Yeah, I've read that too. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:44:32] looks like openSUSE folks are working on a kde4-ized packagekit. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:44:34] same :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:44:51] Hopefully it won't be as useless as knetworkmanager... [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:45:23] ye, they seem to be interested not only in PackageKit, but also in PolicyKit and KDE NM in the long term [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:45:25] at least packagekit is released with a quasi-stable api, the same can't be said for nm-0.7 [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:46:12] For F9 we'll just have to ship gnome-packagekit. The stuff it replaces was also GTK+-based anyway. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:46:20] nod [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:46:26] And the maintainer kindly fixed it up to work in KDE. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:46:50] I sat in on a PK demo at FUDCon, good stuff. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:47:13] (was either right before or after my kde4 talk). :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:47:31] rdieter: i need to fill out the wiki [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:47:32] well, the icons are shown in menu. But pk-update-viewer (or -icon. the replacement for puplet) is not started automatically atm [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:48:02] Is there a bug for this already? [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:48:36] It's part of my old bug [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:48:49] the desktop file is in /usr/share/gnome/autostart [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:49:08] So that just needs to be moved to the right directory, sounds like a trivial change. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:49:09] * svahl is looking for the bug number [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:49:44] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437048 [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:49:45] Bug 437048: low, urgent, ---, Robin Norwood, CLOSED RAWHIDE, [RFE]: Please let KDE users also use gnome-packagekit [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:50:45] mhh. maybe I should just repoen it. But first I have to look if it actually working (and see, what jeremy do on the gnome live images to prevent it from starting like puplet) [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:54:45] * rdieter answers phone, busy for a bit... [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:58:34] back, confirmed, gnome-packagekit is (still) not using xdg autostart, as of gnome-packagekit-0.1.9-3 anyway [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:59:14] reopen the bug [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:59:19] heck, I'll do it. [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:59:34] already done [Di Mär 18 2008] [17:59:38] :) [Di Mär 18 2008] [18:01:51] anything else? [Di Mär 18 2008] [18:03:32] time's up for today anyway, let's wrap up [Di Mär 18 2008] [18:03:37] KDE SIG meeting end [Di Mär 18 2008] [18:03:39] Thanks all!
