Seveastroy_s, I now have usplash on 1024x768x256 with a .png progressbar which can also pulsate (may be required soon). Now all I have to do is implement BOGL font handling for the svga part and all the usplash crack I can think of is there03:29

sladenSeveas: pulsate? :)12:04
Seveassladen, crappy video: http://ubuntu-nl.org/~dennis/usplash.avi12:05
Seveasyou can't see it but the progressbar is also a .png12:07
sladenACCESS DENIED12:08
sladenSeveas: chmod o+r usplash.avi12:08
Seveasdamn scp12:09
Seveashow do I make scp take UMASK into account on the remote machine?12:09
Seveas(it's readable now btw)12:09
kwwii_wow, now that is a screenshot12:12
Seveasbtw: I hate ati12:13
Seveastoo many modeswitches and my machine hangs12:13
Seveasand unfortunately usplash testing involves modechanges12:13
Seveassladen, looks pretty decent, eh (apart from the general crappyness of the video) ;)12:17
sladenSeveas: scp -p usplash.avi seveas@machine.example.com:public_html12:18
Seveashmm, it never occured to me to use -p for that12:18

troy_sseveas you rock01:23
PingunZWhy is that troy_s ?01:25
troy_susplash stuff.01:25
PingunZIs it working ?01:25
PingunZthe high res + high color ?01:25
SeveasPingunZ, only i386+amd6401:27
PingunZI have i38601:27
PingunZAnd edgy so it should work ..01:27
PingunZHow can i test it and what shoudl I do ?01:27
Seveasit works on dapper too ;) (I'm still on dapper)01:27
SeveasYou can't test yet01:28
SeveasI want to implement one more required thing01:28
PingunZWell, pro's like you guys need stability :)01:28
PingunZOk, let us know when we can test it and how to make smashing usplash' :)01:28
PingunZSeveas: Will it be included in Edgy ?01:29
SeveasPingunZ, I hope so01:29
=== PingunZ too
Seveasit depends on having a ppc implementation01:29
PingunZI hope you succeed01:30
PingunZBtw, Will it be hard to make a usplash with a custom throbber ?01:30
troy_sseveas01:31
troy_sdo you happen to know the specs basically?01:32
troy_sand don't hate ati01:32
SeveasPingunZ, no it isn't01:32
troy_sapparently AMD is going to open source a limited set of their cards now that they own them01:32
PingunZomg Seveas you're a god :)01:32
Seveastroy_s, I know the specs -- I implemented it ;)01:32
troy_sbelieve it or not. :)01:32
troy_slaf.01:32
troy_swell... enlighten me01:32
PingunZ* us :)01:33
troy_sdid you see msikma's usplash mock?01:33
troy_si originally planned to use a spotlight approach, and your additions make it feasible it appears.01:33
Seveastroy_s, yes, themes can include custom animations01:33
Seveasbut they have to be programmed, just like custom throbbers01:34
Seveasand all frames need to use the exact same pallette01:35
troy_shrm...01:35
troy_sdo you have a code snippit?01:35
troy_spalette mapping is dead easy for me since i have become an imagemagick zealot01:35
troy_sthat set of tools is bloody remarkable.01:36
Seveasbasically, a function is called 25 times a second to let you draw the next 'frame'01:36
troy_sand you use what to draw the frame?  svgalib?01:37
Seveassvgalib on i386/amd64, bogl on ppc01:37
troy_swow... the possibilities are quite massive on that.01:37
Seveasbut with platform-agnostic wrappers01:37
troy_sare there any limits on the frames etc?01:37
Seveas256 colors01:37
troy_snumerically speaking01:37
troy_s256 is no limit really -- unless you are a die hard grad freak.01:38
SeveasI have a very decent 256 color splash01:38
Seveassee that movie I posted01:38
Seveashttp://ubuntu-nl.org/~dennis/usplash.avi01:38
troy_syes i checked it out...01:38
Seveasmovie itself is crap, but it shows some possibilities01:38
troy_sso the progress bar is ???01:38
troy_sis that progress bar a variation on the 25fps function?01:39
troy_sor a sep issue?01:39
troy_scould you email me the code snippit so I could peep at it and possibly get a working usplash for your code?01:39
Seveasthe progress bar is inside the 25fps function01:40
Seveasthat function gets as argument whether the thing is pulsating or not01:41
Seveasbut font unification first, then I'll send code ;)01:41
troy_si don't want the code code, just the code for the function so i can wrap my head around it.01:42
troy_sand by pulsating, i couldn't quite get what you mean from your vid.01:42
troy_sslick looking though... very slick.01:43
Seveaswith pulsating I mean the thing moving from left to right and back01:45
troy_sahh i see... of course we could do any number of things... does that progress bar in your sample consist of only the01:47
troy_simage area?01:47
troy_sor is it a smaller box that is moved01:47
troy_setc?01:47
Seveasit is a part of an image rendered again every step01:47
Seveasevery time a different part of the image01:48
troy_ssame dimensions no doubt?01:48
Seveasyes, same dimensions01:48
troy_sahh great.01:48
PingunZSeveas: So It'll be 1280*1024 && 256 colors ?01:48
troy_swell i must sleep.  just got in from work and need to hit the GDM stone tomorrow to finish up the other variation01:49
troy_sbloody dox for gdm are rather limited.01:49
SeveasPingunZ, my idea is 640x400x256 default, but making it asy (and providing the themes) to use a higher resolution01:49
Seveasmy display can't use 1280x1024 for instance01:50
troy_s640x400@8bpp is pretty bloody good.01:50
troy_scompared to where we are at01:50
troy_sespecially if it abides by the ubuntu 'no touch kernel' approach.01:50
Seveasindeed01:50
Seveasand it's all in userspace01:50
troy_show swell is that...01:51
troy_swho is responsible for the approval on usplash?01:52
Seveasmjg59 has to accept my patches into his source01:52
SeveasI've e-mailed him about ot, but no response yet01:52
troy_sis this in conjuntion with scott's work on usplah?01:52
troy_susplash even01:52
Seveasscott wants to use usplash for boot logging01:53
Seveasand translated boot messages01:53
PingunZSeveas: What about 800*600*256 ?01:53
SeveasPingunZ, what about it?01:54
PingunZas default :)01:54
Seveasdunno01:54
sladenPingunZ: it will try to boot in the same resolution as your X detected would be correct01:54
PingunZThat would be cool :)01:55

troy_sfrank was in contact on it so that we could ultimately try to target it.02:00
troy_sbut ... its so damn late now it might be hard to target its traits.02:00

Viper550kwwii_, you said that you were going to give me the new Kubuntu buttons for Crystal? Why not post them on the Wiki?05:11
kwwii_Viper550: I thought you didn't want the SVG? guess I misunderstood, I'll put 'em on the wiki as you suggest05:13
Viper550Yeah...I wanted the source for the actual buttons that could be compiled, not the source of the buttons!05:14
kwwii_hehe, you can either get it from apt (install kde) or download it from kde-look.org05:15
Viper550The crystal tarball I compiled (0.42) comes with the Kubuntu Dapper buttons, but not the Edgy ones of course05:16
kwwii_good point....I have two svgs and an xcf file to put 'em all together05:17
kwwii_I'll put it all on the wiki05:17
Viper550I just need a tarball with the new Kubuntu buttons so I can overwrite them in the source code and recompile it05:18
kwwii_http://bootsplash.org/kwin-style-crystal_kensPics.tar.gz05:19

=== Viper550 goes to recompile Crystal

Viper550AWESOME!05:34
Viper550Although the tarball you gave me was a tad broken (make gave me errors), I just copied the buttons from your tarball into the folder for my current Crystal and recompiled, and after I restarted KDE, it worked!05:35
kwwii_it was simply a tar, not a tar.gz05:38
kwwii_sorry05:38
kwwii_I forgot to type z05:38
Viper550whoops...but still! I got it to work properly, and they are nice!05:38
Viper550Looks interesting with one of the gloss overlays from the wiki, adds an extra gloss to the buttons!05:39

PingunZBtw, when you resize the panel --> what happens with the image ? is it scalable ?08:23
Viper550It's tiled horizontally08:23
