[Di Mär 25 2008] [17:02:48] kde sig meeting start [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:02:54] who's present today? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:03:16] than, ltinkl, svahl, Kevin_Kofler, foo*: ping [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:03:23] present [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:03:43] present [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:04:36] gbcox: ping. :) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:04:37] Gerald Cox here [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:04:50] first meeting, thx [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:05:05] topic 1: Summary of problems in Fedora 9 Beta (Beta was slipped but maybe there are already existing someone) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:05:14] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-25 -- Summary of problems in Fedora 9 Beta (Beta was slipped but maybe there are already existing someone)". [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:05:29] svahl? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:06:08] rdieter: Is it inappropriate to ask who I have to blow to get KDE 3.5 *SOMEHOW* available in F9? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:06:19] no reports yet (I set this topic on the agenda last week, but the slip where a few days later) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:06:36] Khaytsus: yes. :) (recommendation: stick with F8) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:06:59] svahl: ok, we can skip ahead then. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:07:00] I know.. :/ [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:07:16] topic 2: Artwork: KDM Theme and KSplash [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:07:23] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-25 -- Artwork: KDM Theme and KSplash". [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:07:50] so far, not much to show. saw a post to fedora-artwork, someone started work on a ksplash theme. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:08:15] rdieter: Is this a forum to discuss problems with KDE 4 in general or no? Sorry, never listened in on this sort. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:08:17] My assistant @ work said he'd try to find some time this week to start working on creating kdm themes. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:08:31] there were a discussion last week on fedora-art-list. It seems that there will be no gdm theme due to the new layout of gdm [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:08:34] IMO we should use kde default theme circles/kde4 as default [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:08:36] Khaytsus: #fedora-kde or #fedora is better, this channel is for meetings. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:08:41] kk [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:09:09] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2008-March/msg00149.html [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:09:16] and https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2008-February/msg00042.html [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:09:28] than: shrug, yeah, if we have no alternative, surely. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:10:25] that pretty much sums it up, any other comments artwork-wise? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:11:10] proposal: ask for help on fedora-art-list (fedora-devel-list?). If nothing happens, use circles [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:11:52] svahl: we've asked at least once (or twice?) already, but doing so again couldn't hurt. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:12:09] svahl: are you volunteering to do the post? :) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:12:24] ok. I'll do that :) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:12:32] cool [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:12:46] topic 3: No administrator mode in systemsettings (KDE Bug #151669) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:12:54] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-25 -- No administrator mode in systemsettings (KDE Bug #151669)". [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:13:13] see also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434824 [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:13:16] it seems this isn't done in KDE-4.0.2 [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:13:18] Bug 434824: medium, medium, ---, Lukas Tinkl, ASSIGNED , KDE4 System Settings - No Method To Enter Administrative Mode [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:13:43] I've set this on the agenda because I've seen some posts on fedora-devel-list and/or/fedora-art-list about that. IMHO we should find a solution for this [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:13:56] (but I also don't know how) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:14:00] I had responded to a post somewhere that this was going to get fixed, but I may have been wrong. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:14:37] My (possibly senile) memory of this was that it was being worked on and addressed upstream soon, did I just dream that? :) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:14:48] i will take a look at svn trunk whether it's fixed in there [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:14:55] ltinkl said he'd update us, but he's not here. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:15:05] AFAIK ltinkl said that he will be working on it. But I may be wrong here [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:15:21] he posted several updates in the fedora bug [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:15:31] than: thanks, post your findings to bug #434824 [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:15:32] Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=434824 medium, medium, ---, Lukas Tinkl, ASSIGNED , KDE4 System Settings - No Method To Enter Administrative Mode [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:16:03] anything else to add here? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:16:44] what should we make default, kickoff or simple menu? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:17:08] IMHO kickoff [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:17:38] excellent question, next topic: kickoff vs simple menu?, steel cage deathmatch [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:17:49] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-25 -- kickoff vs simple menu?, steel cage deathmatch". [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:18:14] :) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:18:48] the big issue with kickoff is that if you use the low resolution [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:19:05] it's to large [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:19:15] shrug, I'm still unconvinced a change from the default (kickoff) is warranted, [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:19:34] IMHO we should have good reasons to diverge from upstreams default here. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:20:10] low-res folks are welcome to customize things to their liking, but I don't necessarily buy that as a good enough justification to change defaults. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:20:34] that makes sense [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:20:39] I'm assuming that low-res is very much a minority of users. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:21:18] otoh, we could work to make it easier to switch the default here. I could look into that. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:22:28] than: what do you think? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:22:42] ok, it seems most peoples want kickoff, it's fine with me to keep it as default [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:23:09] fwiw, Kevin (not here today) clearly doesn't like kickoff and is advocating the change. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:23:39] rdieter: i know, 2 of us don't really like it [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:24:04] I think this warrants expanding the discussion to a wider audience, to fedora-desktop or fedora-devel list perhaps. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:25:08] +1 [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:25:52] +1 [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:25:54] I'll take it to fedora-devel and try to pose the issue as unbiased as I can, to solicit some feedback. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:26:28] ok, moving on... recent bugs. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:26:38] topic: bug #438547: nas: pkg split [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:26:39] Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=438547 low, low, ---, Frank Büttner, NEW , nas: pkg split [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:26:49] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-25 -- #438547: nas: pkg split". [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:27:57] jeremy had suggested this awhile back (for f8) to omit nasd start from default install, and I agreed with the sentiments, but back then [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:28:35] would hurt functionality. but I think it's time to put nas to bed. I'm not aware of a single app in fedora that uses it. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:29:18] doing the pkg split as I suggested would drop nasd from the default install, but it would still be available to those who still/want need it. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:29:49] I was certain if posed otherwise, Frank would definitely oppose the idea (and I wouldn't necessarily blame him). [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:30:11] comments? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:30:17] rdieter: why shouldn't we disable nas support in qt? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:30:43] if there's no applications using it [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:30:50] than: we could certainly, and I would advocate doing just that if nas isn't modified. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:31:07] esp once qt-4.4 lands with phonon, nas support should be dropped then. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:31:58] I think arts supports it too [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:32:19] * than is checking arts... [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:35:06] arg, my laptop froze plugging it power. ?? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:35:48] well, let's move on, we can revisit this later if needed... [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:36:01] topic: bug #436579: apidocs subpackage should be noarch [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:36:03] Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=436579 low, low, ---, Ngo Than, ASSIGNED , apidocs subpackage should be noarch [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:36:11] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-25 -- #436579: apidocs subpackage should be noarch". [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:36:38] I've got most of the hooks to implement this in cvs. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:37:26] rdieter: you need 2 srpms right? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:37:27] I think rel-eng and our mirrors would thank us to turn this on. :) (for a 250MB per arch savings) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:38:05] than: that's one way to do it, otherwise koji has hooks to implement from a single source too (like how kernel-doc gets built) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:38:58] i don't like the duplicates the SRPMs [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:39:00] I'd like to first agree that it is a good idea, then secondly worry about how to make it happen. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:39:42] than: I know it sucks, but dup'ing 250MB of content per arch is better? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:40:23] than: ok, I take it that as long as the implementation doesn't involve separate srpms or branches, you'd be more welcome to the idea? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:41:46] fwiw, I put similar hooks into kdeartwork, kdebase-runtime (for icons), [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:42:16] icon themes range 25MB-40MB (or more) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:43:41] the correct fix should be done in rpm [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:44:01] that allows to make noarch subpackage [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:44:36] nod, but that's nod even on the development radar [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:45:46] I guess all I would propose at this point, is allow me to explore the implementation of building from a single source (like how kernel-doc), and then I'll report back what that entails. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:46:07] we have one rpm developer here, i will ask him whether it's doable [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:46:44] sure, that's good too [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:47:23] I think we're out of other topics, so anything else to discuss today? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:47:33] Topic rdieter setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-03-25 -- open discussion". [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:48:41] any news to the "gtk applets in systray" bug? I've tried out kubuntu with kde4 today and it seems at least one gtk icon is shown normal there [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:50:06] some work 100% fine (NetworkManager-gnome does for me), others are flaky (sealert, packagekit) [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:51:00] I updated 436242 last week with some additional observational info [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:51:14] was fine for awhile, then returned [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:51:16] bug #436242 [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:51:17] Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=436242 low, low, ---, Ngo Than, NEW , F9 KDE4 System Tray - Unidentified object [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:52:12] there's an upstream bug for that too, but I don't have it handy. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:52:55] at least I thought so, but my digging it turning up nothing. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:53:06] gbcox: willing to report it to bugs.kde.org too? [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:53:42] this may be relevant: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155381 [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:53:43] yes, will search and if not there will report [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:53:43] Bug 155381: medium, medium, ---, Dave Jones, CLOSED RAWHIDE, drivers/block/cfq-iosched.c:1070: spin_is_locked on uninitialized spinlock d9d133b8. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:54:45] I think that's the one, different symptoms of the same problem [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:55:05] ok [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:57:16] one more topic [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:57:34] well only a couple minutes left, and fpc today has a *very* full agenda, so let's wrap things up. [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:57:37] kde sig meeting end [Di Mär 25 2008] [17:57:39] thanks all.
