Mai 08 22:00:21 svahl ok.anybody here for kde sig meeting? Mai 08 22:02:01 Kevin_Kofler Well, I'm here, but I don't have anything to discuss really. I'll need at least one more week to get a draft KDE 4 plan for F8 up for discussion. Mai 08 22:03:15 svahl ok. that should be ok, I think because Rex or Than are not present Mai 08 22:03:49 svahl but Kevin, maybe this bug might be interesting for you? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238849 Mai 08 22:04:07 svahl I've noticed this one since the integration of ConsoleKit into kdebase Mai 08 22:04:52 * wwoods still wants someone from the KDE SIG to talk to about KDE testing status Mai 08 22:05:05 G I'm here Mai 08 22:05:11 wwoods especially because I want to make sure any big KDE issues are on the F7 blocker list before it's too late Mai 08 22:05:19 wwoods it'd be good to have someone who knew what the big KDE issues were Mai 08 22:06:00 svahl this would be Rex, but he's not here (on flight to red hat summit) Mai 08 22:06:36 svahl for livecd my biggest ones are: #239300 and #239293 Mai 08 22:06:54 svahl or, of course. than Mai 08 22:06:59 wwoods I think those are fixed Mai 08 22:07:15 Kevin_Kofler svahl: That one could be due to the ConsoleKit integration being incomplete/buggy, indeed. Mai 08 22:07:21 wwoods see comment #1 in 239300 Mai 08 22:07:37 Kevin_Kofler Is there any chance you can do more debugging? For example, does $XDG_SESSION_COOKIE get set properly? Mai 08 22:07:55 svahl wwoods, yes. just want to mention this Mai 08 22:07:59 Kevin_Kofler (AFAIK, if you open a Konsole and echo it, it should just show up.) Mai 08 22:08:19 svahl Kevin_Kofler, will do this after the meeting Mai 08 22:10:51 wwoods svahl: yep! the most recent package has been tagged for f7-final - see http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=6332 Mai 08 22:11:01 wwoods so if jeremy has time to make LiveCDs this week, that fix should be included Mai 08 22:11:16 Kevin_Kofler Running ck-list-sessions and posting the output will also be useful. Mai 08 22:11:52 Kevin_Kofler Oh, and if you can compare it to ck-list-sessions and echo $XDG_SESSION_COOKIE for GDM, that would be even more helpful, I think. Mai 08 22:12:10 svahl wwoods, ok. good to know. though #239293 is only "half" fixed Mai 08 22:13:00 svahl Kevin_Kofler, I will try that directly from livecd. But atm I need this machine :) If you know another hint, please let me know Mai 08 22:13:26 * Benachrichtigung: rdieter ist online (heinlein.freenode.net). Mai 08 22:13:27 * rdieter (n=rdieter@sting.unl.edu) hat #fedora-meeting betreten Mai 08 22:14:19 G Just a couple of notes, before I have to pop away for a few, I'm willing to review Rex's pykdeextentions and guidance packages sometime this week, and I'm also thinking of packaging kphone Mai 08 22:15:03 G (unless someone else already is planning on packaging kphone) Mai 08 22:15:04 wwoods svahl: oh, it starts up in the wrong mode? seems like an EasyFix bug, maybe we can get that done for final Mai 08 22:15:06 svahl G, this kphone? http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/repoview/kphone.html Mai 08 22:15:40 G svahl: hmmm, in that case, I should hit the wiki wishlist, I thought I saw it, but I hadn't bothered to check yet Mai 08 22:15:49 Kevin_Kofler rdieter: I'll try to get a draft KDE 4 F8 plan up for discussion for next week. Mai 08 22:15:51 svahl wwoods, yes. this should be a small fix. It was my fault to not mention it in the bug report Mai 08 22:15:55 Kevin_Kofler By the way, Qt 4.3 RC1 is out. Mai 08 22:16:03 rdieter here on a *real* slow connection... Mai 08 22:16:23 svahl Hi rdieter Mai 08 22:16:42 wwoods svahl: I'll add both of those to the LiveCD blocker - is this a LiveCD-only problem, or is it a general F7 problem? Mai 08 22:16:43 rdieter Kevin_Kofler: looks like most of the parallel-install issues should be sorted out, so we'll hopefully get to avoid /opt/kde4 Mai 08 22:17:19 G svahl: there, if it's already in, I've fixed the wishlist Mai 08 22:17:20 svahl wwoods, I've workarounded it on livecd since test3 because I've misread another bug. The problem would occur _after_ installation Mai 08 22:17:38 wwoods but only if you install from LiveCD? Mai 08 22:18:07 svahl yes. on a "prime" installation firefox and evolution would be installed. On the livecd we don't include them Mai 08 22:19:08 rdieter G: talked with guidance devs (kubuntu folks), and I'll be fixing its packaging soon, so no need to review what's there now/as-is. Mai 08 22:19:40 Kevin_Kofler rdieter: Great. I'll probably keep using /opt/kde4 for the F<=7 packages though so kdebase4 can be installed next to kdebase (3). But I really hope we can get rid of it for F8. Mai 08 22:20:07 rdieter KK: I hope to get rid of it for everybody, asap. :) Mai 08 22:20:36 Kevin_Kofler I can do that too in principle, but for F<=7, this means not packaging stuff like Konqueror 4. Mai 08 22:20:46 rdieter why not? Mai 08 22:20:53 Kevin_Kofler Because we don't want to replace the /usr/bin/konqueror and so from F7. Mai 08 22:20:56 G rdieter: but pykdeextensions seems okay right? Mai 08 22:21:01 rdieter G: yes Mai 08 22:21:22 rdieter KK: they (supposedly) can be side-by-side (haven't confirmed myself) Mai 08 22:21:36 Kevin_Kofler They need different executable names for sure. Mai 08 22:21:37 rdieter KK: I suppose the menus miht be confusing Mai 08 22:21:44 Kevin_Kofler And not just Konqueror, but kcontrol, kwrite etc. too. Mai 08 22:21:57 rdieter KK: that's supposedly fixed. ??? Mai 08 22:22:10 Kevin_Kofler Oh, it is? Mai 08 22:22:33 Kevin_Kofler So they're using konqueror4 etc. now? Mai 08 22:22:44 Kevin_Kofler Because we sure can't have 2 files named /usr/bin/konqueror. ;-) Mai 08 22:23:03 rdieter KK: that's the word on the kde-core-devel list. Mai 08 22:23:21 Kevin_Kofler I'll have to read that thread, that sounds good indeed. Mai 08 22:23:33 Kevin_Kofler I've been a bit busy these days. Mai 08 22:23:51 Kevin_Kofler Any news about the KDEHOME (~/.kde) config file problem? Mai 08 22:24:03 * XulChris is here Mai 08 22:24:07 rdieter svahl: now that kdm is fixed (crosses fingers), gdm can go. Mai 08 22:24:10 XulChris i thought no meeting today? Mai 08 22:24:22 XulChris rdieter: you ircing from the plane? :) Mai 08 22:24:29 Kevin_Kofler rdieter: There's still #238849 to fix. Mai 08 22:24:39 rdieter got to the hotel earlier than anticipated. :) Mai 08 22:24:49 Kevin_Kofler svahl said he'll do more testing after the meeting. Mai 08 22:25:06 svahl rdieter, ok. I've replaced gdm on latest rawhide livecd. There was no bug report (at least mine). So it should be ok Mai 08 22:26:37 rdieter I'll finish up kde-settings integration either tonight or tomorrow. Mai 08 22:26:58 rdieter that'll fix xdg-user-dir interaction. Mai 08 22:27:39 rdieter did I miss anything juicy before I got here? :) Mai 08 22:28:30 svahl wwoods was asking for the blockers for f7 Mai 08 22:28:43 Kevin_Kofler #238849? Mai 08 22:29:03 rdieter annoying, but not a blocker, imo. Mai 08 22:29:23 Kevin_Kofler Well, in principle, from the description, it sounds like #228111, which was already FC7Blocker, is missing a part. Mai 08 22:29:23 * davej hat die Verbindung getrennt (Remote closed the connection) Mai 08 22:29:39 rdieter anyone able to reproduce 238849? Mai 08 22:29:40 wwoods Ideally I'd like to have an official QA Contact from the KDE SIG Mai 08 22:29:56 wwoods basically I just want someone to ask "hey, how's KDE going? is there stuff that should be on the blocker list?" etc. Mai 08 22:30:14 Kevin_Kofler svahl said he's going to do more testing (including some debugging stuff I've asked for) right after the meeting. Mai 08 22:30:23 rdieter wwoods: I can do that (unless someone else wants to volunteer) Mai 08 22:30:50 Kevin_Kofler Oh and what's the latest date for the deep freeze now? Because I'll try hard to fix #238849 in time for that if at all possible, because of the live CD. For the installed distro, this is easily fixed with an update, but updating a live CD is not fun. Mai 08 22:31:05 wwoods rdieter: I'd really appreciate it - it'd be especially useful if you could join fedora-qa-list / hit the QA meetings so we can make sure KDE gets the love and attention it deserves Mai 08 22:31:45 wwoods Kevin_Kofler: I'm not sure if it's official yet, but the current plan is to push the freeze back a week (to Thursday the 17th) Mai 08 22:31:50 rdieter wwoods: I think I can do that. (I've sat in a few meetings from time-to-time already). Mai 08 22:32:29 wwoods we don't have rawhide, we're having trouble getting builds done at all (ppc64 grrr), and we're not planning on doing another test release before Final Mai 08 22:32:55 wwoods So we'd be crazy not to give the world at *least* a week between rawhide coming back and the freeze Mai 08 22:33:10 rdieter yeah, kinda need rawhide. (hard to test fixes otherwise) Mai 08 22:33:46 wwoods you can still pull the packages straight out of koji Mai 08 22:34:01 wwoods which works for getting people to test targeted fixes for blocker bugs Mai 08 22:34:22 wwoods but it's nowhere near good enough Mai 08 22:34:37 wwoods for me to feel at all comfortable releasing in.. 16 days Mai 08 22:34:45 * rdieter nods Mai 08 22:35:49 wwoods so yeah. for now, if you need to test a newly-built package, pull it from koji. jkeating should have rawhide back Real Soon Now Mai 08 22:36:25 * Kelly-Nixa (n=DarkPhoe@bas1-windsor12-1128743759.dsl.bell.ca) hat #fedora-meeting betreten Mai 08 22:36:27 rdieter any other potential blockers? Mai 08 22:36:40 Kelly-Nixa Did I miss the KDE SIG meeting? Mai 08 22:36:54 rdieter Kelly-Nixa: no, in progress. Mai 08 22:37:13 * rdieter passes Kelly-Nixa complentary punch-n-pie. Mai 08 22:37:20 wwoods Kevin_Kofler: do you think 238849 can be fixed for final (assuming we push everything back a week and final is ~23 days from now)? Mai 08 22:37:23 Kelly-Nixa Great. I'm trying to think of an interesting idea for the metabar, because I don't want to just copy the same design the other 10 distro-versions do. Mai 08 22:38:11 Kevin_Kofler Big maybe. I can't tell until I know exactly what's amiss. Mai 08 22:38:34 Kevin_Kofler It's probably something easy to fix, but we haven't tracked it down yet. Mai 08 22:38:40 rdieter hold on metabar, for now, we're discussing potential release blockers atm. Mai 08 22:38:53 rdieter KK: so you've been able to reproduce? Mai 08 22:39:04 svahl Kelly-Nixa, maybe this one would fit into the metabar? http://people.redhat.com/dfong/fc7graphics/05firstboot-left.png Mai 08 22:39:13 * kital hat die Verbindung getrennt (Remote closed the connection) Mai 08 22:39:43 Kevin_Kofler rdieter: svahl is on it on a second machine. Mai 08 22:39:58 Kelly-Nixa Well, the problem isn't graphics that'll fit in the metabar, the problem is what I'm going to do with the text and so on. I'll explain when we get to that section in the meeting. Mai 08 22:40:49 * wolfy (n=lonewolf@fedora/wolfy) hat #fedora-meeting betreten Mai 08 22:40:52 wwoods Kevin_Kofler: I'm going to go ahead and put it on FC7Target, but I don't think we need to delay the release until you have a fix Mai 08 22:42:26 rdieter KN: in the meantime, writeup a proposal (and maybe a mock screenshot) and post to fedora-desktop (or fedora-devel). can get more feedback that way. Mai 08 22:43:09 Kelly-Nixa Oh, I know. I need to think of a design idea before I can write anything, though, and that's where I am right now. Though I do have some ideas. Mai 08 22:43:16 Kevin_Kofler The latest is that I don't think this is due to the ConsoleKit stuff (which appears to be working properly), but a separate bug. Mai 08 22:44:01 rdieter ok, since we have wwoods ear: what's up with iwlwifi? Is it ever going to work? :) Mai 08 22:44:20 tibbs Tried this morning's kernel yet? Mai 08 22:44:33 tibbs So far reports are better than previous versions. Mai 08 22:44:43 rdieter tibbs: no, is there hope? Mai 08 22:44:47 rdieter yay Mai 08 22:45:06 rdieter in the absense of rawhide, where does one get it? Mai 08 22:46:22 rdieter well, any other blocker to discuss, or can we move on (to metabar?)? Mai 08 22:46:40 Kevin_Kofler http://people.redhat.com/davej/ Mai 08 22:48:16 svahl no blocker but another question for livecd (Rex, did you get my mail): What about lisa? I've enabled it for testing purposes since test3. Should we enable it on livecd? Mai 08 22:48:25 rdieter woohoo, thanks. Mai 08 22:48:46 rdieter imo, don't enable it (use stock defaults) Mai 08 22:49:13 Kelly-Nixa I found via experimentation that lisa doesn't always work as expected, though I'm not sure why. Sometimes the kio_slave just doesn't seem to react. Mai 08 22:49:15 rdieter let folks turn it on if they want it. Mai 08 22:49:15 svahl ok. but it would be easy to only enable it for livecd Mai 08 22:50:20 rdieter again, imo, it either should be enabled by default, everywhere, or not. changing behavior for livecd is inconsistent. Mai 08 22:50:36 svahl rdieter, this one is related to lisa: #238790 is samba-client be required for kdenetwork in next rawhide push? Mai 08 22:50:41 wwoods rdieter: heh sorry, got distracted Mai 08 22:50:50 svahl ok. i will disable it then Mai 08 22:51:06 rdieter svahl: yeah, that's fixed in the next pklg iteration (already done) Mai 08 22:51:10 wwoods it's called iwl3945 now, I think, and.. it.. kinda works? Mai 08 22:51:23 wwoods it's shaky but it's gradually getting better and better Mai 08 22:51:38 wwoods we're still not positive it'll hit Good Enough by the time we release F7 Mai 08 22:51:55 wwoods I'm 80% sure it'll be good enough to ship (and fix in later kernel updates) Mai 08 22:52:09 rdieter wwoods: thanks. Mai 08 22:52:26 rdieter ok, moving on... Kelly-Nixa, metabar? Mai 08 22:52:32 svahl rdieter, what's the status of the *-extras-subpackages? They could save some space on livecd. Mai 08 22:52:43 svahl oh. sorry :) Mai 08 22:53:15 rdieter svahl: working on it. :) Mai 08 22:53:29 svahl will the get into rawhide before f7? Mai 08 22:53:34 svahl the=they Mai 08 22:53:51 rdieter svahl: yes, count on it. Mai 08 22:54:19 svahl ok. can you write me a mail so I don't miss it? I really need some testing then Mai 08 22:54:21 Kevin_Kofler Oh, and what do we do with redhat-artwork-kde? Is the main redhat-artwork package going to reenable the KDE stuff and obsolete it or is it going to stay for F7? Mai 08 22:54:32 Kevin_Kofler I don't care either way, it's not a big burden to maintain. ;-) Mai 08 22:54:37 Kelly-Nixa Okay. I want to avoid taking http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Metabar+Lineart+Theme?content=26418 and putting the fedora wallpaper in the background like it seems everyone else does. I have a few ideas on how to do that, but I'm trying to narrow them down better. Mai 08 22:54:37 Kelly-Nixa I assume we don't want any Javascript in the metabar? Mai 08 22:54:38 rdieter KK: good question. Mai 08 22:55:21 Kevin_Kofler Or, third option, it could be built as a regular subpackage of redhat-artwork. Mai 08 22:56:05 rdieter KK: me? I like 3. Mai 08 22:56:32 svahl A regular subpackage would be the best way, I think Mai 08 22:56:37 rdieter with the merge, there's little/no point to the separate packaging/maintaining. Mai 08 22:56:52 Kevin_Kofler Then let's convince the redhat-artwork maintainers (there's lots of people on its ACL) to do that. Mai 08 22:57:29 Kevin_Kofler And let's also add redhat-artwork-kde as a dependency of kdebase now that that's possible. Mai 08 22:57:30 rdieter KK: ok, can you do that? (I'll back you up, chime in if needed) Mai 08 22:57:41 Kevin_Kofler (At least the KDM theme is in there.) Mai 08 22:57:50 rdieter kdebase will be fixed asap (tonight likely) Mai 08 22:58:04 rdieter actually, it'll be a dep of kde-settings Mai 08 22:58:38 rdieter ok, metabar... is there a prob with js? Mai 08 22:58:48 svahl what ksplash would we use in f7? echo or bluecurve? Mai 08 22:58:53 * EvilBob hat die Verbindung getrennt ("Leaving") Mai 08 22:59:05 rdieter echo Mai 08 22:59:15 Kelly-Nixa Yeah, reports are it slows down the loading of the bar quite a bit and eats a lot of processor power. Mai 08 22:59:48 rdieter ok, no js then. don't think it would buy us much anyway. Mai 08 23:00:03 Kelly-Nixa Neither do I, to be frank. Mai 08 23:03:06 tibbs For some reason the KDM theme has a large empty black space where I suppose the face browser is supposed to be. Mai 08 23:03:21 Kevin_Kofler https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239495 Mai 08 23:04:33 rdieter i'm gonna drop out a sec, see if I can get a non-tunneled session going. Mai 08 23:04:42 svahl tibbs, yes. face browsing isn't enabled in kdm yet Mai 08 23:04:45 * rdieter hat die Verbindung getrennt (Remote closed the connection) Mai 08 23:04:50 Kevin_Kofler That one's due to the background image being used for both GDM and KDM. Mai 08 23:05:14 Kevin_Kofler KDM does support user images, I'm not sure how well it'll fit into the existing background though. Mai 08 23:05:36 tibbs svahl: I guess my point is that face browsing is kind of useless and so the black space is unnecessary. Mai 08 23:06:06 Kelly-Nixa I'll experiment with it if you want. I already have all the F7 graphics on my test system. Mai 08 23:06:11 svahl Kevin_Kofler, the syntax is enabled in kdm, but I don't know why it's not shown (I don't have any knowledge about this) Mai 08 23:06:26 * Benachrichtigung: rdieter ist online (heinlein.freenode.net). Mai 08 23:06:26 * rdieter (n=rdieter@208.10.47.224) hat #fedora-meeting betreten Mai 08 23:07:10 tibbs I looked at the theme stuff but the horror of XML overwhelmed me and I think it's part of the background image anyway. Mai 08 23:07:45 rdieter ok, better. Mai 08 23:07:46 Kevin_Kofler svahl: I might be able to look into that, but I make no promises because I'm pretty much swamped already and I also think user images aren't that useful. ;-) Mai 08 23:08:00 Kelly-Nixa I love working with XML. Mai 08 23:08:16 tibbs I did notice a couple of issues that cropped up when bringing up F7t4/kde on a laptop; I haven't filed bugs yet. Mai 08 23:08:23 svahl but maybe more useful than a black space instead :) Mai 08 23:08:31 tibbs I got both klaptop and kpowersave in the toolbar. Mai 08 23:08:40 tibbs knetworkmanager doesn't autostart. Mai 08 23:08:47 Kelly-Nixa I noticed that in F6, actually. Mai 08 23:09:03 tibbs kpowersave has no option to not suspend when on AC and the lid is closed. Mai 08 23:09:13 rdieter tibbs; klaptop is going away, and knetworkmanager has already been added back to the pkglist. Mai 08 23:09:31 Kelly-Nixa BTW, is there a reason KMix doesn't autostart either? Mai 08 23:09:37 tibbs I think the knetworkmanager thing is easy; it just needs a file in /usr/share/autostart Mai 08 23:09:47 rdieter tibbs: we could evaluate guidance power manager when/if it can get fixed/reviewed. Mai 08 23:09:47 svahl tibbs, #237654 for klaptop/kpowersave, knetworkmanager was "forgotten" in test4 but is back now Mai 08 23:10:08 svahl tibbs, knetworkanager is autostarted on the livecd Mai 08 23:10:13 rdieter kmix should/will autostart, I'll make sure that's in kde-settings. Mai 08 23:10:21 tibbs rdieter: I have heard many complaints about guidance. Mai 08 23:10:34 tibbs I think kpowersave is nice; it's just missing that one feature. Mai 08 23:10:55 rdieter tibbs: well, I've heard many praises, so there, nya. (of course, I haven't actually gotten it to work yet). :) Mai 08 23:11:09 tibbs I'd report it upstream but all there seems to be is a sourceforge forum. Mai 08 23:11:40 rdieter so likely we'll lean toward kpowersave (or the gnome applet, heaven forbit) Mai 08 23:12:53 Kelly-Nixa I just mentioned it because it doesn't autostart in F6 right now, and in my case I have KHotkeys connected to KMix. Mai 08 23:14:31 tibbs All in all I'm pleased with the experience of bringing up test4/kde on this laptop. Mai 08 23:14:53 tibbs My only real problems have been kernel regressions making the machine mostly useless. Mai 08 23:15:02 * rdieter nods Mai 08 23:16:42 rdieter anything else, otherwise we can call it. Mai 08 23:17:08 svahl not from me Mai 08 23:17:24 * mdomsch hat die Verbindung getrennt (Remote closed the connection) Mai 08 23:17:51 rdieter can somebody grab (and post to wiki) the irc log? (I missed some of it) Mai 08 23:18:11 rdieter (or if you're lazy, mail the log to me, and I can post it) Mai 08 23:18:13 * svahl could to that Mai 08 23:18:18 svahl do Mai 08 23:18:24 rdieter ok, thanks all!
