alleeThx Riddell ;)   So "Thanks to Tom" ?  He own some honour.02:12
Riddellyes, it was just that abbreviations might confuse non-native english speakers02:15
alleeabout the 'not configred' warning I already mentioned it to Tom. I'll pester him again.02:17

Simesebas: ping07:32
pefbye !07:38
RiddellSime: Lathiat says he wants an avahi control module in guidance :)07:39
Riddell(well, I said it really, but he's more elite than me in such things)07:39
Simesure, (what the hell is avahi?)07:41
Riddellthat's the spirit :)07:41
Riddellit's a zeroconf daemon07:41
Riddellwhich for security has to be off by default, so there needs to be an easy way to turn it on07:42
Riddelland configure stuff like turning on ssh07:42
Riddellssh advertising07:42
Riddelldunno what else07:42
Simeyou mean configure what the daemon advertise on the LAN.07:42
Riddellyes07:43
Simein adept, when you have a package that can be upgraded you have an upgrade button. But what if I want to uninstall the package???07:57
Riddellyou mean the upgrade button replaces the uninstall button?07:57
Simeyes07:57
Simeodd07:57
Riddellyeah, it needs some usability review07:58
Simechanging a button's label on the fly is a big no-no.08:00
mornfallright click08:00
mornfallit's all about the right click08:00
mornfallyou can't possibly ever get all the actions to buttons08:01
mornfallsomething gotta go -- into context menu08:01
Riddellhmm, for some reason it's not intuitive to do a right click there08:02
Simeeverything should be possible from the normal menus.08:02
Riddellsame on the sources.list editor you have to right click to enable/disable, took me a while to find that08:02
Simewith the most important also on buttons.08:02
Sime(is there really not enough room for the most important and common actions?)08:02
mornfallnormal menus however don't work -too- well -- way too disconnected from selection08:02
mornfallSime: that would be?08:03
mornfalltoolbar is about as crowded as it gets... maybe 1 more button -- and things need to be kicked out for more08:03
SimeInstall, Remove, Upgrade...08:03
mornfallfor expanded package view, again, one more button and it's full, i guess08:04
mornfallSime: that's already 3 of them, about 2 being useless in 80% of situations08:04
RiddellI don't know if those should be buttons anyway, buttons I expect something to happen instantly, tickboxes or radios might be better08:04
Simeadd a Package menu with the actions...08:04
mornfallSime: yes, but that's even worse than context menu, usage-wise08:05
mornfallSime: it can be easier to find, sure08:05
Simeerrrr... normal people don't even know that context menus exist. It is all about the main menus.08:05
mornfallSime: but it's terrible usability (select, go to menu, click action)08:05
mornfall*and* there's the problem of defining selection08:05
mornfallSime: define normal people08:06
mornfallSime: i guess most people who want to uninstall upgradable package -will- somehow deduce how to do it :)08:06
mornfallSime: even now08:06
mornfallSime: for the menu, sure i can add it... but it's not going to save much08:07
Simepeople are people who don't spend more than 4 (or 10?) hours a day on computers. :)08:07
Simeand you already have selection for packages.08:07
Sime(that blue thing on the left hand side)08:07
mornfallwhat blue thing?08:07
mornfallselection is selection08:07
mornfalland is independent of expansion08:07
mornfalljust FYI :)08:07
SimeI'm looking at a list of packages where one line is highlighted in blue. That is what I call a selection.08:08
mornfallGUI for management of thousands of items is *bound* to be complicated... the trick is to make it useful even for people who won't use more than 20% of the possibility08:08
mornfallSime: okey, it's black here :-)08:09
mornfallSime: and it's over whole width, not left hand side08:09
mornfallwell, for expanded packages, anyway08:09
mornfallunexpanded*08:09
Simeleft side was for expanded, yes.08:10
=== Sime does in fact like adept. It is neato.
mornfalland i guess that the whole concept of selection is completely not intuitive :-))08:10
mornfalli bet nontrivial amount of users will just confine themselves to the "logical" button (that is the one showing upgrade/install/remove depending on state) and toolbar actions08:11
RiddellI still say radio buttons would be bestest08:12
SimeI agree with Riddel. If the action occurred immediately then I would go for buttons.08:13
jjessemornfall: in the docteam subversion directory there is a kynaptic manual, any thoughts about an adept manual or is there one created elsewhere we can import into Kubuntu?08:13
mornfalli don't know of anything08:13
mornfallRiddell: bestest, uh? :)08:13
jjessehttps://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/kde/kynaptic/C/ is the kynaptic one08:14
Riddellmornfall: I'm using the language of a 5 year old for dramatic effect.  if I'd done better in my english exams I would know which effect it was08:15
mornfallRiddell: hyperbole? ;-)08:15
Riddellyeah, something like that08:16
mornfallanyway, i don't like radiobuttons08:16
mornfallit would mean i need to make huge amount of them and disable some of them08:16
mornfallit's... evil08:16
mornfallthere's -no space-08:16
mornfallalso, there will be another button, and it will invariably be a button08:17
mornfalli could -maybe- settle on a combobox08:17
mornfallbut it's stretching it08:17
mornfalla lot08:17
Simereplace the button with a 2x2 grid of radios08:18
mornfallnever08:18
Simeis that an idea?08:18
mornfallthe radios will never fit the space of that button08:18
mornfallthey'll take like 3 times more08:18
Simesure? there are only 4 actions08:19
mornfallhmm; keep, upgrade, install, remove are there now; purge and reinstall are to be added08:19
mornfallthis does not scale08:19
=== jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has joined #kubuntu-devel
mornfallit also adds complexity08:20
mornfall(btw, i am arguing here -- if you win the argument, i submit -- it's just not easy to win an argument with me :p)08:20
mornfallanyway, you can try to put radios there and see for yourself :-))08:21
mornfallthe code isn't that hard08:21
mornfallit's in lister.{h,cpp}08:21
SimeI'll try that out right after I implement dualhead support in the X kmodule. :)08:23
mornfall:-))08:23
mornfallsee, i'll do whatever i think is best for adept =)08:23
mornfalllike it or not08:23
mornfallof course, distributor has the veto power -- they can change the product to whatever they like :)08:23
Simethat's a long way of saying that it could take a long time before i get to it. ;)08:24
mornfallRiddell: get me an usability review and i'll read it :-)08:25
=== Riddell browses openusability
mornfallyou know, i'm such a terrible sceptic08:28
mornfallyou have it hard with me :-)08:28
Riddellwow, openusability looks busy, I wonder if it's along queue08:29
sebasSime: Pong.08:29
Simehoi sebas08:29
mornfalllong? i guess it's bigger than they can process in any sane time08:29
sebasHi!08:29
mornfallsomeone has been overestimating capacity :p08:29
mornfall(that's the price for hype -- too many people want things from you and noone really helps)08:30
SimeSebas and I are kind of waiting for some OU feedback08:30
sebasStill a good sign, much better than being ignored.08:30
Simetrue08:30
mornfalli was more productive in the "being ignored" phases of everything, i guess08:31
Simesebas: working on the dualhead stuff on Kubuntu I see that the hwdata and discover1 data file simply do not contain the hardware info that we need.08:31
Simesebas: so I've added the Mandriva files to SVN.08:32
Simesebas: also, what is the fate of the Power tab in displayconfig?08:32
mornfalleh, the "one true foo" problem :-))08:32
sebasSime: Short term: move it, it's just one widget, long term: Kill it (there has to be a powermanagement control module)08:33
Simesebas: eruit slopen08:34
sebasI forgot what I the solution I thought out with usability-Jan was, have to wait for the report...08:34
sebasYeah, but that'd mean a regression, right?08:34
Simesebas: HDD spindown settings would also be good for a power module08:34
=== JRee [n=jre@pai34-2-82-226-199-36.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
sebasSime: Yeah.08:39
sebasSuch a module probably wouldn't be too hard to do.08:39
sebasTuning these settings is pretty trivial, code-wise.08:39
sebasIs there a syntaxhighlighted diff, btw?08:41
Simeof what?08:41
sebasWould be great for reviewing patches.08:41
sebasFor example svn diff producing syntax highlighted output.08:41
Riddellkubuntu.pastebin.com might do that08:43
=== JRee [n=jre@pai34-2-82-226-199-36.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
sebasHm, yeah. But that's not really intuitive ... 08:45
mornfallemacs08:46
mornfall(for syntax-hilighted diffs)08:47
mornfallor colordiff, but that does diff coloring, not the unterlying syntax08:47
Riddellor use kompare08:48
Riddellit has a nice kpart08:48
mornfallanother possibility... it just doesn't work that great for konsole users...08:49
mornfallnothing's perfect, i guess08:49
sebasYeah, most gui based svn tools have syntax highlighting.08:50
sebas(And I'm a vim user :-))08:50
sebasand a hungry one... brb.08:51
RiddellI'm hungry too come to think of it :)08:53
sebasLet's eat! (And colordiff accepts diff from STDIN, which is good.)08:54
sebasAnd it even has a manpage with cute examples!08:56
