04:00:30 simeon: hi all
04:00:39 simeon: I'm a bit confused about the print composer
04:00:47 simeon: is there any docs explaining how it works?
04:04:10 jef: simeon: the manual?
04:04:42 simeon: ah
04:06:19 simeon: ok I got it working
04:07:06 simeon: is there a way to display a colorbar when you use a colormap ( or pseudocolor ) for a raster layer?

07:36:58 cgs_bob_: wonder_sk: thanks for telling me where the svg files go. it would be great if qgis can do styles similar to what is proposed here: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc14. I am most interested in using the symbols in http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/fgdc_gds/geolsymstd/fgdc-geolsym-allnocharts.pdf
07:41:55 wonder_sk: hi cgs_bob_
07:42:19 wonder_sk: that map guide rfc looks good, thanks for the link
07:44:17 wonder_sk: it would be interesting to have a list of "must have" symbols which are currently not supported in qgis
07:44:36 cgs_bob_: hi wonder_sk. glad to help. I haven't tried Mapguide yet, but I just downloaded the CD
07:46:07 cgs_bob_: there are a lot. I believe someone already submitted a ticket and have submitted a few symbols from the fgdc
07:46:38 wonder_sk: cgs_bob_: if you like to help even more, you could create such list ( e.g. take some symbols from that pdf ) and find out what is missing to be able to draw them ;- )
07:47:03 wonder_sk: some of those symbols are pretty complicated
07:47:23 wonder_sk: so first of all i would prefer to target the most important ones
07:48:27 cgs_bob_: wonder_sk: I'll look for that ticket and submit my list of symbols there and cc you, ok?
07:48:50 wonder_sk: cgs_bob_: ok
07:50:18 cgs_bob_: wonder_sk: you can find the ticket here: https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1694
07:50:20 sigq: Title: #1694 ( New Geologic symbology SVGs for including with distributions ) - Quantum GIS - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
07:50:41 wonder_sk: btw. some of the features e.g. custom dashing or hatching could be now added relatively easily, they just needs time : )
07:50:49 cgs_bob_: I'll submit my list after I take another lok at the fgdc doc
07:52:27 cgs_bob_: that would be super! most of the symbols I'm interested in deal with stuff like fault lines, anticline, synclines, and other structures
07:52:42 simgislab: hi all, is it possible to load a postgis layer, where the key is of type bigint in qgis? Seems like it accepts only int4 right now?
07:55:53 wonder_sk: simgislab: yes AFAIK it's int4 only
07:56:36 simgislab: wonder_sk: do you think it worth changing?
07:57:30 wonder_sk: simgislab: we were discussing this a bit at the hackfest in march
07:57:46 wonder_sk: definitely it's worth changing
07:58:09 wonder_sk: and support not only bigint, but also any other type
07:58:28 wonder_sk: actually the point was to enable even usage of keyless tables
07:58:43 simgislab: yep, this would be nice
07:59:10 simgislab: should file an enhancement ticket?
07:59:49 wonder_sk: simgislab: if you need just a quick fix, jef probably still has a patch to enable usage of bigint keys...
08:00:29 wonder_sk: possibly there is already such ticket : )
08:00:33 simgislab: wonder_sk: this would be nice
08:00:50 simgislab: nope, just looked for it, couldn't find anything
08:01:21 simgislab: jef: quick fix?
08:01:54 simgislab: wonder_sk: btw, we're slowly crawling through tabbed interface RFC with lynx
08:02:25 jef: simgislab: do you get an error message?
08:02:32 simgislab: jef: yes
08:02:39 jef: simgislab: trunk?
08:02:54 simgislab: jef: 1.0.2
08:02:58 simgislab: fixed in trunk?
08:03:27 wonder_sk: simgislab: you mean the tabbed interface changes we were discussing on the mailing list?
08:03:52 jef: simgislab: or 1.1 - I think. but it's a work around. probably won't work with huge tables.
08:04:49 simgislab: wonder_sk: yes, we agreed that we need something written, like RFC to continue discussing it
08:05:28 wonder_sk: fine, looking forward to see it
08:30:15 jctull: simeon: a color table legend is currently not available for raster maps in the composer, afaik
08:56:50 doktoreas: jef, ping
08:59:12 sigq: tracfeed: Ticket #1702 ( bug created ): When loading an ogr database datasource with one layer the password appears in legend <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1702>
09:11:54 jef: doktoreas: pong
09:12:05 doktoreas: hi mate
09:12:19 doktoreas: trouble with translation in trunc :(
09:12:29 doktoreas: trunk
09:12:42 doktoreas: lrelease error: duplicate messages found in '/usr/src/qgis_unstable/i18n/qgis_fr.ts':
09:12:43 jef: doktoreas: not here. which qt?
09:12:52 doktoreas: 4
09:12:57 doktoreas: 4.
09:12:59 doktoreas: damn
09:13:52 doktoreas: 4,5 on ubuntu jaunty
09:18:07 jef: doktoreas: 4.5.1?
09:18:35 doktoreas: 4.5.0
09:21:49 jef: doktoreas: hm, doesn't happen here on either on 4.4.0 or 4.5.1
09:22:09 doktoreas: really don't know mate..Using default packages from Ubuntu
09:25:22 dassouki: is there a way to export a line layer as a set of verticies ( nodes ) and the relationship between them ? so layer_nodes = { a , b ,c ,d ,e } links = { ( a , b ), ( a, d ), ( d, e ), ( d, a )} ??
09:31:10 doktoreas: jef, really don't know
13:26:24 bitner: does anyone know what the status of #1473 -- 3dZ/3dM/4d support is? Does the patch Jef made work?
13:44:46 CIA-65: borysiasty * r10818 /trunk/qgis/python/plugins/plugin_installer/ ( __init__.py installer_data.py installer_plugin.py ): Plugin Installer minor fixes
13:46:30 sigq: tracfeed: Changeset [10818]: Plugin Installer minor fixes <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/changeset/10818>
13:48:12 jef: bitner: probably not. afaik nobody really tried it.
13:55:09 racicot: jef & bitner: I had tried it ( looks like 3/20/09 by last build time stamps in that work area ), but last I had tried it I had some issues with editing while viewing was working well. I have not looked in a while though...
13:56:10 racicot: I am happy to test again and try to comment on specific issues I run into... would just need to update that work area on my machine
16:15:38 pieter__: hi, can I get installation support here?
17:39:03 dassouki: http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/PythonBindings#head-1a654755a57432eb139ca1344f35379e404ec10b <--shows how to load attributes into the dictionary attribute map.
17:39:05 sigq: Title: PythonBindings - Quantum GIS Wiki ( at wiki.qgis.org )
17:39:32 dassouki: My question is, let's say i want to load column( 1 ) into list_1 and column( 5 ) into list_5
17:39:36 dassouki: how should i go about it
22:21:59 pcav: osegeo server is ( again ) unusable
22:22:29 wildintellect: hmm
22:22:49 wildintellect: fine here
22:23:02 wildintellect: wonder if there's some weird thing with your ISP
22:23:24 pcav: do not think so
22:23:31 pcav: it is quite slow
22:23:45 wildintellect: start keeping a log of times when you notice it
22:23:46 pcav: so since now and then it gets stuck
22:23:55 pcav: anyway, it is misconfigured
22:24:02 wildintellect: when we get a good sample of time points to check the logs
22:24:22 wildintellect: what makes you say that?
22:24:23 pcav: I tried to raise the issue
22:24:31 pcav: but never got a proper reply
22:25:05 wildintellect: I'm going to see some of the webcom people this week can you point me to your bug report
22:25:20 pcav: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
22:25:41 pcav: Apache/2.0.52 ( Red Hat ) Server at trac.osgeo.org Port 443
22:25:43 pcav: thanks
22:25:53 wildintellect: wait, were you logged into osgeo
22:26:06 pcav: not
22:26:21 wildintellect: then why were you on port 443
22:26:42 wildintellect: what pages are you trying?
22:27:17 pcav: https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/report/1?sort=ticket&asc=1
22:27:36 pcav: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

22:27:36 pcav: Apache/2.0.52 ( Red Hat ) Server at trac.osgeo.org Port 80
22:27:41 pcav: also on http
22:29:14 wildintellect: ah, so you are refering to the trac server specifically
22:30:16 wildintellect: ok, now I think I have some info to go on - when did this happen to you previously?
22:30:41 pcav: it is always slow
22:30:53 pcav: I think it is just a timeout
22:31:12 pcav: anyway, the server has not been carefully configured, apparently
22:31:16 wildintellect: maybe, but it's odd that this trac instance is slow while others are fast
22:31:24 pcav: root@localhost... ; )
22:31:42 pcav: for me, it's always slow
22:31:58 pcav: sometimes veeeeery sloooow
22:32:22 wildintellect: are you usually logged in?
22:32:33 pcav: it does not make a difference
22:32:50 wildintellect: well yes and no
22:32:54 pcav: is it fast for you?
22:33:12 pcav: I mean, it does not make a differnece as a performance
22:33:12 wildintellect: I'm trying to gather the information I need to solve the issue
22:33:20 pcav: great, thanks
22:33:37 pcav: how is the load on the server?
22:33:44 pcav: and the bandwidth?
22:33:56 pcav: is there a monitoring available?
22:33:59 wildintellect: no idea, I don't have access to it, bandwidth from what I hear is decent
22:34:31 wildintellect: I just plan to take it up with the people who do have access since they will be here for Where 2 the next few days
22:35:34 wildintellect: that and I am familiar with how to setup trac sites
22:36:29 wildintellect: have you filed a bug on the osgeo trac site
22:38:51 pcav: well, I did some work on it...
22:38:58 pcav: ; )
22:41:22 wildintellect: I found it http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/357
22:41:25 sigq: Title: #357 ( random server errors ) - OSGeo - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
22:42:06 wildintellect: I'll add some info to it and see if I can find someone to look into the logs
22:43:22 pcav: thanks
22:43:45 pcav: the ogeo trac display the page
22:43:52 pcav: but login takes ages
22:44:52 wildintellect: ya it's being slow
22:45:13 wildintellect: I'm wondering if the cpu load on the machine is high for some reason - like a backup process
22:45:31 wildintellect: hence the need to document exactly what time issues occur
22:45:49 wildintellect: as for being slow all the time, I'll need to find out which method they run trac under
22:46:01 pcav: I find it always slow
22:46:13 pcav: often very slow
22:46:21 pcav: sometimes dead : )
22:46:27 wildintellect: just remember to only login when you really need to
22:46:34 pcav: so I guess it's just overloaded
22:46:35 wildintellect: non ssl pages will always be faster
22:46:42 pcav: I know
22:47:06 pcav: but in fact I cannot notice a difference
22:47:36 pcav: and when I work on it is usually to open/close/comment tickets
22:47:42 pcav: so I need to login
22:47:58 pcav: thanks for your help
22:51:24 wildintellect: wow they still run python 2.3
22:51:42 wildintellect: makes me wonder about all the other stuff
22:54:49 wildintellect: lol edit conflict on that ticket
22:56:11 wildintellect: interesting the server is on east coast time, I thought the server was in California
