ubuntuhello folks12:19

cbx33LaserJock, I just managed to get CounterStrike Source running on linux ;)12:22
LaserJockheh, good for you12:22

lucasvoI wonder how she found out about Gallium06:08
pygilucasvo: Gallium is not a secret06:09
pygithis is FOSS world06:09
lucasvopygi: but for example google gives me only the launchpad hit06:10
pygilucasvo: You would except KDE-Edu founder to be interested in Edubuntu ;)06:10
lucasvopygi: what will you write? 06:10
lucasvoit won't be hard06:10
pygilucasvo: I wrote it already06:10
lucasvojust got it while I was typing06:11
pygiit's a compromise beetween what I really wanted to write06:11
pygiI cannot talk about some things :)06:11
lucasvopygi: you mean some sort of: Get real and becoma a gnome user. KDE s**** that's why we made gallium? ;)06:13
highvoltageI don't quite understand, why is there so much hostility against the creation of gallium?06:14
lucasvohighvoltage: usually I am also against creating things twice. but in this case, I don't see a better solution06:15
lucasvoit's a huge amount of work being done twice. which could also be invested in other edu apps06:15
=== lguerra [i=lguerra@200.21.93.195] has joined #edubuntu
highvoltageit's not as much as creating it from scracth though, since gallium will use the data from kalzium, so it's a very small part of the work that's being duplicated06:16
lucasvohighvoltage: keeping bug free, creating packages, making publicity... 06:16
lucasvomaintainaning the chemical data is not that big, since most of it is already well known and not in research anymore06:17
Laser_awaygallium was metioned on planet by pygi06:19
=== Laser_away is now known as LaserJock
highvoltagei think publicity and creating packages are minor compared to the CD space problem06:20
highvoltageI think in the end it comes down to is priorities06:21
highvoltageunforunately you always have to make some sacrifice06:21
highvoltagehi LaserJock 06:21
LaserJockhighvoltage: I can understand the problem if you look at it as "Edubuntu ships KDEEdu, Edubuntu is also developing a GTK port of Kalzium"06:21
LaserJockbut I don't feel like "Edubuntu" is developing Gallium06:22
LaserJockit's not speced06:22
highvoltageyep06:22
highvoltageLaserJock: you're developing it, right?06:22
LaserJockwell, I started it06:22
LaserJockI haven't done any of the code yet06:22
LaserJockbut I feel like I'm the guy in charge, I think ;-)06:22
highvoltageok06:23
LaserJockI guess I'll send a reply06:24
LaserJockI kinda feel bad, because it's kinda like "Yeah, we want to drop KDE Edu06:24
lucasvoLaserJock: isn't that true?06:26
LaserJockyes, but that's not really nice to say to the KDEEdu founder06:26
pygiLaserJock: I haven't said we wanna drop KDE Edu06:27
pygilucasvo: and no, ofcourse I dont think that everyone should become Gnome user06:27
pygilucasvo: that kind of attitude sucks heavily dude06:27
lucasvopygi: this is not my attitude however it's quite similar. 06:28
LaserJockbut being able to drop KDEEdu *is* a part of why gallium was started06:28
LaserJockso I want to be careful06:28
pygiLaserJock: ups, you are right, might be that she saw my blog post where I mentioned Gallium06:28
pygiLaserJock: ah06:28
lucasvopygi: Too bad gnome and kde do the same stuff and don't collaborate. I think it should be possible to develop something that pleases both users. 06:29
lucasvopygi: so I think, one should merge them.06:29
pygilucasvo: Free (libre) world is about a choice06:29
lucasvopygi: yes.06:29
pygiwe're don't want to become Windows!!06:29
pygiwe*06:29
lucasvopygi: how comes that still major distributions all look the same?06:29
pygilucasvo: you don't how wrong you are06:30
lucasvopygi: ?06:30
lucasvopygi: I don't see much difference in fedora, suse and ubuntu06:30
pygiI do, a lot of difference06:30
lucasvowhat? 06:30
pygiwhy aren't you part of fedora or suse community then?06:30
pygiwhy have you choosen the Ubuntu/Edubuntu?06:31
lucasvobecause it used apt06:31
pygilucasvo: do you know how & why Gnome was created?!06:31
lucasvono06:31
pygiBecause KDE was built on top of then propietarity (not free) QT06:31
pygiIt was started to offer the user a freedom!06:31
pygilucasvo: FYI, fedora & suse can also use apt06:32
pygiapt-rpm06:32
lucasvoso actually there is no reason anymore not to merge 06:32
pygithere are reasons!06:32
lucasvopygi: that the community has different taste?06:33
highvoltageLaserJock: I think 'drop' is also a strong word06:33
pygilucasvo: uh, you don't understand :-/06:33
highvoltage'not included by default' is probably more accurate06:33
lucasvohighvoltage: not rely on it 06:33
pygihighvoltage: I believe if we had space on cd, we'd include anything we can :P06:33
highvoltagesince it would still be just an apt-get install away06:33
highvoltagepygi: that's probably true06:33
pygihighvoltage: one partial solution probably might be separating lang packs just for apps we ship06:34
pygiif that is possible06:34
lucasvopygi: what big difference is there (for the user, not the developer) between QT and GTK?06:34
LaserJockthere was/is some speed differente, and the look is just different06:35
pygilucasvo: but it's not about the toolkits06:35
LaserJockyes06:35
lucasvopygi: starting by having one toolkit would make portability between gnome and kde much easier.06:36
=== highvoltage catches up with e-mail nd has a better understanding of what this is about
pygihighvoltage: KDE-Edu and edubuntu06:37
lucasvoLaserJock: if that is your reason she'll say: Why didn't you just enhance kalzium?06:37
pygithe mail subject :)06:37
highvoltagepygi: read it :)06:37
lucasvowhich is true06:37
pygihighvoltage: yay :)06:37
highvoltagewell, it's a great way to work with a good upstream project06:37
pygilucasvo: uh, uh, you have some fundamental thinking errors06:37
pygiabout F/OSS world06:37
lucasvoI wouldn't call it errors.06:38
LaserJocklucasvo: because I want a GTK port of Kalzium, not kalzium06:38
highvoltagelucasvo: there are many others that feel the same06:39
LaserJockpygi and lucasvo: let's keep it civil06:39
pygiLaserJock: yes, I'll stop :)06:39
highvoltagelucasvo: we've come under fire in tuxlabs a bit for running kalzium on Xfce in tuXlabs06:39
lucasvohighvoltage: I lost track, feel the same than what?06:39
highvoltagepeople tell us it's inefficient to run apps that require different frameworks, wasting memory and resources06:40
LaserJockyeah06:40
highvoltagelucasvo: people who want a GTK port of Kalzium06:40
LaserJockit's not *only* a disk space issue06:40
highvoltagelucasvo:don't get me wrong, I *love* the KDE-edu project, and I think we can support them whatever happens in the future06:40
LaserJockas highvoltage has said, running a KDE app in Gnome is slower and more memory intensive than running it in KDE06:41
highvoltageperhaps the Kubuntu team could even work on a edubuntu-kubuntu-desktop, that could include the kde-edu tools instead of edubnuntt(ehatever)-tools06:41
lucasvokedubuntu?06:41
highvoltageperhaps06:41
highvoltagewho kows?06:42
highvoltageperhaps we could even work on an edubuntu-add-on cd. I've been wanting to work on something like that for a while.06:42
lucasvothat sounds like a good idea06:42
highvoltagewhen I have my internet connection back next week, that would be possible again06:42
lucasvohighvoltage: however that "only" solves the space issue, not performance issue06:43
highvoltagethat way you can make it easy for users to distribute kde-edu and it's libs, and even more additional tools that we'd like to see there.06:43
lucasvobtw, anyone contacted gperiodic and told them about gallium?06:43
highvoltagelucasvo: you're completely right, but it's at least a compromise and a temporary solution06:43
lucasvohighvoltage: of course it's not a bad idea. I'd like to have more edu software as well06:43
lucasvomostly academic software, since edubuntu is not very useful for me anymore06:44
pygilucasvo: is gperiodic developed anymore even?06:45
lucasvopygi: don't think so06:45
lucasvo1.3.3 Fri Jan 18 10:34:38 EST 200206:45
lucasvolast changelog entry06:45
pygilucasvo: that's why I asked06:45
lucasvopygi: but having the owner put a link onto the page that one should use gallium since it's more up to date would be nice06:46
LaserJockgperiodic is basically dead and I looked at the code06:47
LaserJockIt's written in C and has a bad storage format for the data06:48

highvoltageah, from ogra?07:10
LaserJockno07:10
LaserJockapparently pygi started more then he intended07:10
LaserJockgallium is not a thread topic07:11

nixternalsomebody offered me $25 for an Edubuntu CD today07:13
LaserJockhttp://cniehaus.livejournal.com/07:13
highvoltagenixternal: wow!07:13
nixternalI had told a couple of people about Ubuntu, and they were teachers, so I brought up Edubuntu, and I pulled a CD from my trusty bag, and I had them, hook-line-and-sinker07:13
LaserJockhttp://hardly.cubic.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/blue-obelisk/2006-September/000862.html07:14
highvoltagenixternal: our local lug had a stand at a big local show this week, and people had a tough time believeing that we didn't want to sell them stuff :)07:14
nixternalThe lady asked, how much do  those go for, after I explained "Free"...so i did a salesman, "well...ummm.."07:14
nixternaland she goes, I will give you $2507:14
nixternalI said, $25 is to low, way to low07:14
nixternalbut I will give you a few for free ;)07:14
nixternali either have a couple new possible clients, or dates07:15
nixternaldon't know yet07:15
highvoltagehmmm... so is blue obelisk essentially the same as gallium in concept?07:15
nixternalhighvoltage: that rocks right there...we did the same and got the same reaction...so we started selling the CDs for $1 each, and donated to a Children's fund07:15
highvoltagenixternal: we sold some ubuntu cd's that we made ourselves (shipit couldn't get it here in time) for R10 (about US$2) and we're going to make t-shirts for everyone that volunteered on the stand07:17
nixternalooh...you know what...that isn't that bad of an idea...i ahve the entire Ubuntu Chicago team hounding me for t-shirts07:17
=== jbrefort [n=jean@lns-bzn-58-82-251-208-165.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #edubuntu
highvoltageheh :)07:17
nixternali can get nice embroidered Ubuntu Chicago Polo shirts displaying all 4 logos for $18/ea07:18
nixternalawesome work...this lady did the shirts for a company i used to own when we did a golf outing07:18
highvoltagesounds cool07:18
nixternalI need about 50 ;(07:18
nixternalthats a lot of CDs at $107:18
LaserJockarrrggg07:18
highvoltageour t-shirts are simple blue golf shirts with the CLUG logo on... I think I can find a pic somewere...07:19
nixternalLaserJock: it is saturday, you better be with the wife, otherwise i think you will need to redecorate that dog-house07:19
LaserJockshe's here and sick still :/07:19
nixternalyou better tend to her then ;)07:19
highvoltagehttp://photos.jonathancarter.co.za/futurex2006/pict0196 <--- that's about the only one that I have07:20
LaserJockbut this stupid gallium thing is going to give me a headache today :(07:20
highvoltagestill have to upload the good photos I took :)07:20
nixternalnow that would actually work right there07:20
highvoltageLaserJock: in free software, whenever you're going to take on something worth while you're ultimately going to make some people angry07:20
highvoltageLaserJock: don't let some dumb comments get to you, gallium is a good idea07:21
LaserJockoh freaking heck07:21
LaserJockhttp://cniehaus.livejournal.com/27154.html#comments07:22
nixternalahhh, talking about the kde-edu comments i take it07:22
LaserJockno, I got an email, a few actually07:22
LaserJocka little "WTF are you doing?"07:22
highvoltagegeez07:23
LaserJockall from one sentence on planet.ubuntu.com07:23
nixternalouch..i never seen that post right there07:23
highvoltagewell, that's being uncollaborative, and not in line with any kind of good CoC07:23
nixternali can understand the frustration though, i mean we work hand in hand with debian, and most of the time with the WM's as well07:24
LaserJockwell, they don't have any facts07:24
LaserJockthey didn't ask me or any gallium dev07:24
LaserJockwe are not writing it from scratch07:25
highvoltagegeez, some people we really nasty07:25
highvoltagethe anger that powers those blog comments aren't backed by facts either07:26
LaserJockwell, there aren't any facts07:26
highvoltagethey even call canonical evil. what's so evil about them? they're just another random company.07:26
LaserJockwe haven't even published any code07:26
LaserJockall we have is an LP page07:26
highvoltagethey seem to have gfound some code on cbx33's website07:28
highvoltage(gfound being a very strange typo in this case :) )07:29
LaserJockargg07:29
LaserJockthey went trolling around for stuff, they took a lot of effort07:30
nixternalyou know, that started off as a legit "grief" they had, over soemthing they really hadn't researched, which we know is stupid for one...and second, all it takes is for one idiot to start an anti-ubuntu/canonical flame war...jealous people are ignorant ;)07:34
LaserJockI don't even know where to begin07:34
nixternaltruthfully, i wouldn't respond to the blog07:38
nixternali would do it the professional way, as that blog is loaded with "nonsense" from people to scared to let the world know who they are07:38
LaserJockwell, I just added myself to planet.u.c so maybe I could start a blog war ;-)07:38
nixternalif you are going to complain about something. let us know who you are, so we can contact you and talk it over07:39
highvoltagehehe07:39
LaserJocknixternal: I'm not so worried about the blog as the 2 mailing lists it's on right now07:39
nixternalthats the saem as someone who complains about the government, and then during elections, they don't vote07:39
nixternali seen it ont he dev list earlier07:39
highvoltageAnne-Marie did the decent thing, at least07:39
highvoltageI think it was big of here to send that message to edubuntu-devel07:39
highvoltageperhaps it's better to work with her as the leader instead, she can deal with all the kde-edut minions who are misbehaving.07:40
nixternalwatch that tone of voice towards KDE*07:40
nixternal;)07:40
highvoltageI meant it in the kindest possible way :)07:40
nixternalim off the leash today07:40
nixternalhehe07:41
nixternali do however have a new saying for gnome users and c++07:41
nixternallol07:41
LaserJockwell, the blog was from the Kalzium author07:42
LaserJockand there is a Blue Obelisk thread07:43
LaserJockwhere the emailed the author of another project called gallium07:43
LaserJockI've never heard of Blue Obelisk and they are mad at me for not joining their organization07:44
highvoltageLaserJock: I can't find that blog entry07:44
highvoltageLaserJock: do you have a link for me?07:44
highvoltageI can't find it on laserjock.us07:44
LaserJockwhat?07:44
LaserJockI haven't done anything on laserjock.us07:44
LaserJockI just woke up07:44
LaserJockto this07:44
highvoltageah ok. where i the blog entry where you said something about galium?07:45
LaserJockI didn't07:45
highvoltageaah, I see07:45
highvoltageok, I thought this was sparked by a blog entry of yours.07:45
LaserJockpygi had *1* sentence about it on planet.u.c07:45
highvoltagegeez, then the kde-edu people are even more touchy than I though07:45
highvoltage*thought07:45
LaserJock"ravis, Pete, and some more people started their work on Gallium, replacement for Kalzium, and we can already see some usable results."07:46
highvoltageJust found it :)07:46
highvoltagei think he should perhaps have said 'developing a GTK front-end to kalzium', instead of using the word 'replacement'07:47
LaserJockyes07:47
highvoltagepeople get touchy when they hear that word :)07:47
LaserJockbut that's all it took07:47
highvoltagehectic07:47
LaserJockthe thing is, I think I'm the one in Edubuntu that likes KDE the most07:47
highvoltageI might be second or third07:48
highvoltageI like KDE a lot, but not to the degree that I'm on any level passionate enough to fight for it07:48
LaserJockI have no problem with it and I'm very impressed with Kalzium07:49
highvoltageeverytime the kalzium issue comes up, people in edubuntu have acknowledged hoe great kde and kalzium is.07:49
highvoltageeven ogra, who isn't a fan of KDE, acknowledged the achievements of Kalzium and talked about all the awards that it has won, etc.07:50
LaserJockI just wanted to have an app in Gnome to be maybe as good07:50
LaserJockoh man, I actuall read the blog comments08:04
LaserJockI totally just want to cry right now08:04
pygibleh, now go ahead and attack me for mentioning gallium :)08:04
pygiLaserJock: what comments? /me doesn't see any comments08:06
nixternali will fight for KDE ;)08:08
nixternalI say we have a GNOME vs. KDE Wrestlemania!08:08
nixternalactually, that is a bad idea, i recently seen an image of the KDE hackers, and it was quite scary08:08
LaserJockpygi: I don't blame you. It was a pretty innocent comment.08:09
LaserJockpygi: http://cniehaus.livejournal.com/27154.html#comments08:09
nixternalya, pygi isn't to blame at all, they took everything out of context in the blog, and instead of contacting us, they decided to start a flame war..more than likely just a feeble attempt to get people to visit their blog08:10
pygiLaserJock: bleh, won't even read that. I hate that Gnome VS. KDE stuff08:10
pygiI develop for both platforms, so what, go ahead and kill me now :P08:10
nixternalit seems that, that is the intention of many of these types of blog posts in the first place..if i can get you to visit my site and get upset about something with ubuntu, I have won, because you will keep checking back to see the comments08:10
LaserJockwell, I wouldn't bother if it was just some guy08:11
LaserJockbut that's *the* Kalzium developer08:11
pygiwhatever, lemme comment08:11
LaserJockpygi: tbh, I'd rather you stay low, if you don't mind. It's not your project and you didn't do anything wrong08:12
nixternalEdubuntu-folks prefere to rewrite Kalzium from scratch instead of packaging Kalzium.08:12
nixternalso, this version of kalzium on my machine, how did it get there?  if we didn't package it?08:13
pygiLaserJock: but this was my mess08:13
nixternalalrighty all...i need to get a life and back away from the keyboard for a little while08:14
nixternali shall return later to devulge in my life as a Kubuntu & Edubuntu junky!08:14
nixternalttyl08:14
pygiLaserJock: so should probably be my responsability to clean it up08:16
pygiLaserJock: but ok, will stop08:16
LaserJockpygi: well, it's really my mess08:17
LaserJockyou just helped ;-)08:17
pygiLaserJock: heh, thanks for comforting me08:17
pygi:P08:17
=== highvoltage doesn't even think it's a mess
LaserJockwell08:18
LaserJockI guess so08:18
LaserJockI'm writing edubuntu-devel now08:18
LaserJockhopefully clarify that one08:18
LaserJockand then I'll email this Blue Obelisk group08:18
LaserJockand leave the blog alone, although it has a huge amount of misinformation08:19
pygiLaserJock: please cc me if possible08:19
LaserJockpygi: ok, I probably won't on edubuntu-devel since I assume you get it ;-)08:19
pygiLaserJock: right08:20
pygithis is particulary idiotic:08:23
pygiThe guys who started that project seem to be religious butt heads that are living in their small narrow world (like the maintainer of Edubuntu whom I know personally).08:23
pygiI mean wth?!08:23
=== highvoltage wonders who that is
highvoltageogra definately doesn't live in a narrow little world08:26
highvoltageneither does anyone else I can think of in Edubuntu08:26
LaserJockyeah, can you imagine seb128 adding KDE-Edu to Ubuntu? ;-)08:26
highvoltage:)08:27
AmaranthI seem to remember the whole point of gallium being getting rid of the massive i18n packages pulled in for a few small apps08:30
LaserJock*cough*08:31
LaserJockwell, for me it was a little more lofty goal08:32
highvoltagelofty?08:32
LaserJockI find Gnome sorely lacking in educational apps08:32
=== highvoltage never knew that Americans used that word
LaserJockwe can speak some decent English... if we want to08:32
highvoltagehehe :)08:33
LaserJockok, edubuntu-devel email sent08:34
LaserJockon to Blue Obelisk08:34
LaserJockI feel bad because they sent those emails to the other gallium project08:35
pygiLaserJock: uhm, really? :-/08:35
=== pygi waits Laser's mail
LaserJockyeah, I found out after I made the LP product that there is a gallium project for a Carbon emulator08:36
LaserJockwhich is soooo totally different then our project that I didn't think it'd be a big problem08:36
pygio joy08:36
LaserJockbut apparently they didn't read the project homepage before the blasted email to the poor guy08:36
=== pygi should really stop blogging :P
LaserJockno, dude, really08:37
pygiah, well, two months without internet should settle everything :P08:37
LaserJockin a way it's good to have this now08:37
LaserJockrather then when we actually *had* a release :-)08:37
AmaranthThe other gallium project is dead08:38
Amaranthstarting in 01 and has no code available08:38
pygiAmaranth: some guy in comments is talking about some personal branch or whateva08:39
pygihttp://www.progbox.co.uk/gallium/08:39
Amaranththat's my code08:40
Amaranthback later08:40
=== pygi smells a bad mail server since still no Laser's mail

cbx33and only in windows environment 11:08
LaserJockwell, gallium is no more11:08
LaserJockwe had a good talk11:08
LaserJockand the periodic table in gchemutils is more developed11:09
cbx33ok, i'll delete my repo11:09
LaserJockand is pretty well established in the chemistry software world11:09
LaserJockI do think we should continue working on this idea though11:09
cbx33why didn't we know about it?11:10
LaserJockwell11:10
LaserJockI knew of gchemutils11:10
LaserJockbut I didn't know they had a full periodic table11:10
LaserJockand they've had a hard time getting it in the repos11:10
cbx33in what way continue11:10
LaserJockbecause of various deps, etc.11:11
