| 03:35:56 | arkygeek: | hi guys |
| 03:36:08 | arkygeek: | who works on the layer properties dialogue? |
| 03:37:02 | arkygeek: | I have a friend who is trying to run QGis on an EEEPC under ubuntu 9.04... works great, but when he opens the layer properties, it is too big for the screen, and he is unable to see the stuff at the bottom. it is un-sizable... |
| 03:37:51 | arkygeek: | ideas? I guess I could look at the source, and open in designer maybe, and try to adjust the properties there, but was hoping there was another way.... |
| 03:39:29 | arkygeek: | spacedman: ping |
| 03:40:47 | spacedman: | yo |
| 03:40:53 | arkygeek: | hi barry |
| 03:41:00 | arkygeek: | any ideas re: ^ |
| 03:41:02 | macho: | arkygeek: wonder is working on that AFAIK |
| 03:41:23 | spacedman: | Isn't it really a problem in Qt? |
| 03:41:30 | arkygeek: | yeah, i would think |
| 03:41:34 | spacedman: | Or in the EEE's window manager? |
| 03:41:57 | arkygeek: | i remember that being an issue on systems with low screen resolution |
| 03:42:02 | arkygeek: | it's been like that for some time |
| 03:42:14 | arkygeek: | guess i will file a bug |
| 03:42:24 | arkygeek: | or feature request maybe? |
| 03:42:29 | spacedman: | a window manager should figure out that a 1200-pixel deep window on a 800-pixel deep display is going to need some scrolling... |
| 03:43:09 | arkygeek: | spacedman: but if Qt was told to be only a certain size... |
| 03:43:15 | arkygeek: | which I think is the case |
| 03:43:28 | : | * arkygeek looks at the code |
| 03:45:04 | spacedman: | it might not be possible to get the dialog smaller than 800 pixels... or at least not without a redesign... and why stop there? what when someone wants to run qgis on their Android phone? : ) |
| 03:45:22 | spacedman: | user should be able to alt-click and drag the dialog around... |

| 03:45:47 | sigq: | Title: EeeUser ASUS Eee PC Forum / Print dialog box too big for screen ( at forum.eeeuser.com ) |
| 03:46:43 | spacedman: | another idea: http://eeesite.net/2008/01/how-to-deal-with-windows-that-are-too.html |
| 03:46:44 | sigq: | Title: Eee Site: How to deal with windows that are too large for your screen ( at eeesite.net ) |
| 03:47:12 | arkygeek: | hrmmm interesting.... when i open qgsvectorlayerpropertiesbase.ui I get: |
| 03:47:13 | arkygeek: | The enumeration-type property sizeConstraint could not be read. |
| 03:48:27 | arkygeek: | yeah, thats what i thought... geometry is constrained to [0, 0, 839, 675] |
| 03:50:38 | arkygeek: | and minimum height is 600 |
| 03:50:54 | arkygeek: | which is a problem in ubuntu wif the top and bottom of the screen is being used |
| 03:52:23 | arkygeek: | well, I will try your solution first spacedman ..... good one :- ) |
| 03:56:42 | spacedman: | Hmmm I could start a nested X server with small resolution and see what happens... |
| 04:02:50 | spacedman: | i confirm that qgis is unusable on a 400x400 pixel screen : ) |
| 04:03:31 | arkygeek: | lol |
| 04:03:44 | arkygeek: | so I can't run it on my N95??? that sux :-( |
| 04:04:26 | arkygeek: | I thinnk it is important to make QGis as netbook friendly as possible... |

| 09:40:40 | sjzzalx: | Hi sweet babies |
| 09:40:48 | sjzzalx: | I have some infromation in qgis right this second |
| 09:40:57 | sjzzalx: | but it's on white background, I want pretty backgrounds etc |
| 09:41:00 | sjzzalx: | where can I obtain these |
| 09:41:11 | sjzzalx: | by which i mean maps of us etc |
| 11:46:40 | wildintellect: | sjzzalx, what background layers are you looking for specifically, and do you want them to cover the entire US or just a portion |
| 12:09:45 | markusN: | hi |
| 12:10:06 | markusN: | I have troubles to get python support running: "ImportError: No module named qgis.core" |
| 12:10:13 | markusN: | http://osgeo.pastebin.com/d283f4aed |
| 12:10:14 | sigq: | Title: osgeo private pastebin - collaborative debugging tool ( at osgeo.pastebin.com ) |
| 12:10:17 | markusN: | what's the trick? |
| 12:15:35 | jayd--: | do you multiple versions of python? |
| 12:20:50 | wildintellect: | markusN, what OS are you on? |
| 12:24:19 | epifanio: | markusN: the problem come up in apython shall insude qgis too ? |
| 12:25:31 | epifanio: | to have qgis in a standard python shell i'm using in ccmake : set to ON global installation |
| 12:28:36 | markusN: | jayd--: no, only one installation |
| 12:28:44 | markusN: | it's a Mandriva 2008.0 box with updates |
| 12:28:50 | markusN: | 64bit |
| 12:29:27 | markusN: | I use the same install script which I also use on my other boxes with more recent Mandriva |
| 12:31:00 | wildintellect: | are you compiling or using binaries to install? |
| 12:35:01 | markusN: | ah sorry: I am compiling qgis_1_1_0 from SVN |
| 12:35:18 | markusN: | r10894 |
| 12:36:29 | wildintellect: | what's the install path you set in ccmake? |
| 12:36:31 | markusN: | this is the script to do the compilation ( which configures and calls cmake and such ): http://osgeo.pastebin.com/m391338ad |
| 12:36:32 | sigq: | Title: osgeo private pastebin - collaborative debugging tool ( at osgeo.pastebin.com ) |
| 12:36:49 | markusN: | works on other machines |
| 12:37:13 | markusN: | "Python bindings enabled"... all looks good |
| 12:38:24 | wildintellect: | if it works on other machines, I'm guessing there's some sort of permissions problem that it isn't telling you about |
| 12:38:43 | markusN: | in fact |
| 12:38:50 | wildintellect: | or path issue |
| 12:38:53 | markusN: | the only idea which I have, too |
| 12:38:57 | : | * markusN recompiles |
| 12:39:00 | markusN: | maybe I can spot it |
| 12:44:00 | wildintellect: | markusN, can you confirm that you have a qgis folder in your python site packages, ie /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/qgis |
| 12:47:04 | cgs_bob: | markusN: you can also try "locate qgis/core.so" and see if it is within your python path |
| 12:50:54 | markusN: | wildintellect: all goes into /usr/local/lib |
| 12:51:01 | markusN: | or is it a "must"? |
| 12:51:43 | markusN: | but indeed I don't see any trace of python2.5/site-packages/qgis |
| 12:51:43 | wildintellect: | and are you adding that to your python path? |
| 12:51:54 | markusN: | no yet ( how to? ) |
| 12:51:55 | wildintellect: | well that's a problem |
| 12:52:16 | markusN: | it could at least complain... |
| 12:52:45 | wildintellect: | let me turn on the box where I compile to see what my custom compiled ones look like |
| 12:52:52 | markusN: | so... do install as root? |
| 12:53:05 | markusN: | I was happy to have all in /usr/local/ |
| 12:53:14 | markusN: | never mind, I can re-install as root |
| 12:53:14 | wildintellect: | that should be fine |
| 12:53:30 | markusN: | but it forgets about python2.5/site-packages/qgis then |
| 12:53:32 | markusN: | ( silently ) |
| 12:54:02 | wildintellect: | well if you build path is /usr/local it should make a python2.5 folder in there |
| 12:55:07 | : | * markusN checks |
| 12:55:31 | wildintellect: | correction it's /usr/local/share/qgis/python/qgis/ |
| 12:55:48 | markusN: | ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/qgis/python/qgis/: No such file or directory |
| 12:56:06 | markusN: | ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/qgis/: No such file or directory |
| 12:56:10 | markusN: | uhm |
| 12:56:38 | wildintellect: | follow cgs_bob's advice and do a search, locate core.so | grep qgis |
| 12:57:19 | markusN: | I have: /usr/local/lib/qgis/share/qgis/python/qgis/core.so |
| 12:57:23 | markusN: | and /usr/local/lib/qgis/lib/libqgis_core.so |
| 12:57:51 | markusN: | seems to be there but not visible to qgis? |
| 12:58:32 | wildintellect: | not visible to python |
| 12:58:59 | cgs_bob: | markusN: what is in your PYTHONPATH ? |
| 12:59:58 | cgs_bob: | see what happens when you do something like this: PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/qgis/share/qgis/python qgis |
| 13:00:07 | markusN: | PYTHONPATH is empty |
| 13:00:26 | markusN: | can I sent it system-wide for all users? |
| 13:00:35 | markusN: | sorry to know so little about this stuff |
| 13:00:50 | markusN: | cgs_bob: trying |
| 13:01:15 | markusN: | it's a remote machine with triple ssh tunnel over a double radio bridge, so a bit slow |
| 13:01:52 | cgs_bob: | markusN: yup...if you set BINDINGS_GLOBAL_INSTALL=ON . probably have to install as root |
| 13:03:37 | markusN: | bingo: no more error...! ok - I can hack the startup and use a shell scipt to call the real qgis. |
| 13:03:47 | markusN: | thanks guys |
| 13:03:52 | markusN: | easy trick as so often |
| 13:04:10 | cgs_bob: | markusN: you're welcome |
| 13:06:42 | markusN: | mhh, next question: I remember that there was a possibility to easily install plugins from the web |
| 13:06:52 | markusN: | is that gone? cannot see it in the plugins menu |
| 13:13:18 | racicot: | markusN: under Plugins->Fetch Python Plugins... is that menu item there for you? |
| 13:13:25 | cgs_bob: | markusN: are you talking about the python plugin builder? |
| 13:14:27 | aghisla: | markusN: or plugin installer? |
| 13:15:41 | markusN: | "Fetch Python Plugins" yes I think so - if I recall correctly |
| 13:15:45 | markusN: | not there |
| 13:17:25 | cgs_bob: | markusN: you don't see it in the Plugin Manager? |
| 13:19:03 | wildintellect: | do a search for qgsplugininstallerbase.py |
| 13:19:15 | wildintellect: | see if that turned up in your python path |
| 13:19:18 | markusN: | yep |
| 13:19:35 | markusN: | here: /usr/local/lib/qgis/share/qgis/python/plugins/plugin_installer/qgsplugininstallerbase.py |
| 13:19:43 | wildintellect: | you might need to activate it in the plugin manager |
| 13:25:44 | markusN: | I have added it to the PYTHONPATH |
| 13:25:47 | markusN: | but nothing |
| 13:25:54 | markusN: | also not in the list of available plugins |
| 13:35:57 | aghisla: | ... |
| 13:36:07 | markusN: | sniff |
| 13:37:00 | aghisla: | come on markusN, there must be a solution |
| 13:37:39 | markusN: | sure there is |
| 13:37:50 | markusN: | since I have seen that nice menu entry already... |
| 13:38:11 | markusN: | I'll release GRASS 6.4.0RC5 meanwhile |
| 13:38:17 | aghisla: | : ) |
| 13:38:34 | : | * markusN is more confident with that |
| 13:39:43 | cgs_bob: | markusN: you can also try installing the installer manually : ) just unzip http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis_1.0/plugins/plugin_installer.zip in ~/.qgis/python/plugin and enable the plugin in the plugin manager |
| 13:40:00 | markusN: | ah cool |
| 13:40:02 | markusN: | will try |
| 13:41:34 | cgs_bob: | should be ~/.qgis/python/plugins |
| 13:43:26 | markusN: | so: mkdir -p ~/.qgis/python/plugins ; cd ~/.qgis/python/plugins ; wget http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis_1.0/plugins/plugin_installer.zip ; unzip plugin_installer.zip ; rm -f plugin_installer.zip |
| 13:43:29 | markusN: | uhm |
| 13:43:30 | markusN: | fails |
| 13:43:33 | markusN: | nothing in the list |
| 13:43:41 | markusN: | doesn't seem to like me |
| 13:43:45 | aghisla: | also restarting qgis? |
| 13:43:50 | markusN: | ( now trying on my local box ) |
| 13:43:52 | markusN: | sure |
| 13:44:12 | markusN: | stuff is now in /home/neteler/.qgis/python/plugins/plugin_installer |
| 13:44:17 | markusN: | is that right? |
| 13:44:41 | aghisla: | yes |
| 13:45:23 | markusN: | ah, on my local box I have 1.0.2 |
| 13:46:21 | : | * markusN turns to slow remote machine |
| 13:46:46 | markusN: | ( the remote is 1.1.0 svn ) |
| 13:50:28 | markusN: | oh finally, with 1.1.0 the trick from cgs_bob works! |
| 13:53:44 | cgs_bob: | markusN: I've been down the same road : ) glad you got 1.1.0 working |
| 13:55:09 | markusN: | so I'll trow 1.0.2.. |
| 13:55:28 | markusN: | don't want to complain but looks a bit tricky to me |
| 14:01:24 | cgs_bob: | markusN: I don't know why you're not able to see the plugin installer. the problem I had happened around the time the plugin installer was introduced |
| 14:03:20 | cgs_bob: | you might not have these problems if you turned on BINDINGS_GLOBAL_INSTALL in cmake |
| 14:04:06 | springmeyer: | cgs_bob: do you know is there a ticket for the ability to create multiple style rules/symbology per layer? |
| 14:04:21 | springmeyer: | ( that would allow each to have it's own min/max scale visibility ) |
| 14:08:29 | cgs_bob: | springmeyer: I'm not aware of such a ticket, but it would be nice : ) I just had a coworker ask me why you can have labels with multiple attributes. My work around was to load a layer multiple times with different attribute to label |
| 14:09:33 | springmeyer: | right, which is potentially a major performance hit, but also the only idea I have whereby you'd set the min/max scales for lots of duplicated layers |
| 14:09:54 | springmeyer: | could get out of control very fast |
| 14:10:52 | markusN: | cgs_bob: would you mind to tell me in http://osgeo.pastebin.com/m391338ad how to turn on BINDINGS_GLOBAL_INSTALL ? |
| 14:10:53 | sigq: | Title: osgeo private pastebin - collaborative debugging tool ( at osgeo.pastebin.com ) |
| 14:11:34 | cgs_bob: | it would be nice if you can customize a label like this: "Attribute1=[Attribute1]\nAttribute2=[Attribute2]" |
| 14:16:41 | markusN: | thanks for you help, time to sleep |
