00:51:31 timlinux: @seen gsherman
00:51:31 sigq: timlinux: gsherman was last seen in #qgis 2 weeks, 2 days, 16 hours, 45 minutes, and 32 seconds ago: * gsherman back later
01:41:10 macho: hmm gsherman long time away? maybe on sabatical?
01:41:11 macho: : )
03:31:28 timlinux: hi macho
03:31:36 timlinux: how are the hackfest plans going?
03:33:06 macho: going well
03:33:27 macho: but beside a guided nightly walk through vienna theres nothing special new
03:34:31 macho: have to add it to the wiki though
04:59:47 sigq: tracfeed: Ticket #1742 ( bug created ): After two consecutive zooming, QGIS freezes <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1742>
05:32:51 WidgetAlley: Hullo all, was wondering if I could pop in here to disturb you and ask a newb question.
05:39:19 jef: WidgetAlley: almost. you forgot the question mark ; )
05:39:50 il_rugginoso: hi all
05:40:53 macho: hi il_rugginoso
05:41:15 il_rugginoso: hi macho :D
05:46:11 macho: any new?
05:49:15 macho: +s
05:49:37 WidgetAlley: Heh. Okay, quick question: using trunk ( unstable release ) to delete islands on a county map shapefile.... can delete the islands fine, but when I save/transfer into the stable 1.0.2 release, they are back along with all their data. What am I not doing?
05:49:58 WidgetAlley: ( Remembered the question mark this time! ) :D
05:50:05 timlinux: jef : ever got this before? /usr/bin/fakeroot: debian/rules: /usr/bin/make: bad interpreter: Permission denied
05:50:32 timlinux: WidgetAlley, did you actually save your edits?
05:50:34 macho: timlinux: wrong permissions on Makefile?
05:51:15 macho: timlinux: o got this once i compiled the whole source as root and tried it to compile as user without a "make clean" before
05:51:30 timlinux: macho doesnt seem to be
05:51:59 jef: timlinux: hm, debian/rules not executable?
05:52:03 timlinux: does this same thing if I do: sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b or if I do dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
05:52:07 timlinux: ah
05:52:32 WidgetAlley: Yes. I saved the edits both as a project and exported as a shapefile.
05:52:46 timlinux: -rwxr-xr-x 1 timlinux timlinux 8.4K 2009-06-22 02:44 debian/rules
05:53:15 timlinux: WidgetAlley, but did you untoggle the editing mode button first?
05:53:37 timlinux: saving a project saves only qgis settings of which layers you loaded, not the edits to your shp
05:54:30 WidgetAlley: That would make sense, but shouldn't the shapefile have worked...? Hold on, let me try again and make sure I untoggled the editing button.... ( might be about to feel pretty dumb, here... )
05:59:32 WidgetAlley: *sigh* That was it. Thank you very much ladies and gents, I am glad that was an easy fix.
06:17:40 timlinux: jef doh! It fails to build because my home dir is mounted noexec :- )
06:18:21 jef: timlinux: ouch. how come?
06:19:15 timlinux: jef its on my server - I dont give normal users exec perms
06:19:50 timlinux: so I mount the home partition noexec
06:20:05 timlinux: and they have a ssh jail so they cant escape their home dirs
06:24:53 doktoreas: Hello folks..I just converted a shapefile to GML using the OGR plugin, but QGIS says that is an invalid source
06:25:10 doktoreas: ogrinfo --formats says GML is r/w
06:25:17 doktoreas: using latest trunc and gdal 1.6.1
06:25:51 doktoreas: same thing with other gml files
06:29:17 timlinux: doktoreas, invalid source when you try to read the gml back again?
06:29:29 doktoreas: yep tim
06:29:46 doktoreas: but seem my fault with xerces..
06:59:59 doktoreas: timlinux: yep was my fault sorry
07:29:17 CIA-55: rugginoso * r10966 /trunk/qgis/src/plugins/grass/qgsgrassmodel.cpp: Added the possibility to view informations about regions into the browser of the GRASS plug-in to fix ticket #1624.
07:52:57 timlinux: pcav, hi
08:00:54 pcav: timlinux: hi
08:57:40 tackat: timlinux: hi
09:00:41 WidgetAlley: Hullo again, another quick newb question if that's all right with youse guys....
09:04:38 WidgetAlley: I'm trying to use the graduated symbology feature, but the classification tab doesn't give me any options....
09:04:50 : <_-Slash-_> yop
09:05:50 WidgetAlley: Despite the fact I have numeric-only columns in the .dbf file which show up fine for all the other types of symbology.
11:06:11 ttestt: hello
11:09:38 macho: ttestt ssuucceedd
11:10:31 ttestt: : ) is here anyone using python ( writing on it ) with qgis?
11:12:25 macho: my python is too fast - i can hardly write on it ..
11:12:26 macho: :D
11:15:33 wildintellect: ttestt, you asking about standalone, plugin or in general?
11:17:18 ttestt: plugin
11:17:51 wildintellect: what's the question?
11:18:13 ttestt: i saw a plugin that allow to change X/Y of a vertex
11:19:26 ttestt: if the project reprojected on the fly, the XY values shown in reprojected units
11:21:01 ttestt: i hope it will be possible to change these values using source projection too
11:22:21 wildintellect: sure
11:22:40 wildintellect: instead of pulling the projection from the map it can be pulled from the selected layer properties
11:24:20 ttestt: i hope that i'll find the author of this plugin and shouldn't rewrite some code : )
11:24:39 ttestt: i dont know python yet
11:24:48 wildintellect: well if you have the plugin the code is all there
11:24:51 wildintellect: which plugin is it
11:26:30 ttestt: sorry don't remember. i'll try to find it now
11:29:31 wildintellect: "Numerical Vertex Edit"?
11:32:51 ttestt: numerical vertex edit. yes. i've installed qgis and this plugin now : )
11:32:56 ttestt: thanx
11:33:56 wildintellect: the best idea I can think of is add a check box - "Enter coordinates in layer's projection instead of map proj"
11:34:44 wildintellect: the toss an if statement into the move function, if checkbox is true - get layer proj and reproject entered coordinates into map coordinates and do the rest as usual
11:35:25 wildintellect: anyways the author's email address is in the code files, so you should be able to contact too...
11:36:27 ttestt: o! i didnt think i can find the author so simple : ) thank you!
16:24:39 : * cgs_bob wishes there is a way to save the current layer as a Spatialite table : )
16:29:24 springmeyer: cgs_bob: ya, be able to save all layers into a single sqlite db...
16:35:52 cgs_bob: springmeyer: that would be nice. If I wasn't leaving from work so soon, I'd submit an enhancement ticket
16:36:58 springmeyer: label it pony : )
16:42:57 cgs_bob: I'll think about that : ) wifey is here to pick me up. bbl
17:38:26 sigq: tracfeed: Ticket #1743 ( bug created ): Fetch Python plugins menu item non-functional <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1743>
22:28:45 macho: mrng
22:31:53 pcav: trac unusable...
22:31:54 pcav: grrr
22:32:03 macho: why that?
22:34:08 sigq: tracfeed: Ticket #1282 ( bug closed ): "Update all" in "Legend items" broken <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1282#comment:10>
23:08:19 sigq: tracfeed: Ticket #1685 ( bug closed ): Print composer does not work <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1685#comment:3>
23:37:28 wildintellect: pcav, any details on the trac issue - I know they upgraded it over the weekend
23:38:46 wildintellect: although the qgis trac appears to be 10.3 still - I'll double check with hobu and frankw in the morning
23:41:06 pcav: wildintellect: I think they opgraded only some tracs
23:41:09 pcav: not qgis
23:41:21 pcav: getting several error 500
23:41:27 pcav: now it works
23:41:27 wildintellect: ah well I'll check when they plan to upgrade the rest of them
23:46:28 sigq: tracfeed: Ticket #1743 ( bug created ): Some plugins menu items don't function <https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1743>
23:53:09 macho: as we are talking about upgrading .. is there a possibility to bring the whole server to a recent status? fedora4 seems a bit old to me
23:54:04 wildintellect: I don't think that's on the table at the moment
23:54:23 wildintellect: right now it's upgrade trac, and switch the backend to postgres
