Tonio_fdoving: I'm not saying that we have to force them, but that we have to find a compromisse12:12
Tonio_I agree with linus on the point that if you consider your users idiots only idiots will use your softwares....12:12
Tonio_but that's too elitist too12:13
Tonio_the idea is compromise for me....12:13
imbrandonTonio_, here is my defination of the best middle ground we can hope for, joe uses a complicated app, say a dvd ripper, its "easy" enough where he /can/ rip a dvd without reading the instructions BUT if he wants more features he should not have to switch apps, he should learn the advanced features of the existing app, thats the problem we have , most simple apps and advanced apps are split12:13
Tonio_codeine is very nice, I agree, but dvb is now widely used...12:13
Tonio_how would the users handle dvb if we provide codeine for example ?12:13
alleeTonio_: no, no. Not _only_ codeine12:14
fdovingimbrandon: i agree, and i think that's what tonio_ says too.12:14
Tonio_imbrandon: you said it : reading the instructions12:14
Tonio_as long as the application is usable "reading the instructions", that's okay12:14
alleeTonio_: when an app provides a mode when a noop can do the simple stuff great12:15
imbrandonbut you cant expect them to know all the features without reading, only the basic funnctions , enough to get "used": to it12:15
fdovingusing amarok for audiocds still doesn't sound right, though.12:15
Tonio_but if you want something that works in "idiot mode" don't come to me, since I'll probably  not be ready to help :)12:15
Tonio_fdoving: 2 clicks......12:15
Tonio_insert audio cd -> open amarok -> play audio cd12:15
imbrandonfdoving, why not amarok is an audio player12:16
Tonio_then we should have an audio cd player, a standalone mp3 player, a collection manager etc........ ?12:16
Tonio_dozens of millions of noobs are using itune and they are fine with it12:16
Tonio_just because they HAD to learn because of their ipod12:17
Tonio_now they are used to it, they claim everywhere that it is simple, but itunes is at least as complicated as amarok12:17
imbrandonTonio_, yup i'm with you on that one, i see no need for kscd and with amarok, but i was waiting for mtv to bring alot of that up12:18
Tonio_who already went in winamp 5 config dialog ? is incredibly complicated too etc.....12:18
imbrandonanyhow , shower, bbiab12:18
fdovingimbrandon: amarok is a big beast of a audio player, it's not what i want if i just want to play a audio cd.12:18
Tonio_fdoving: if I just want to play an audio cd, I do like most people -> cd player at home :)12:19
imbrandonfdoving, it can be very simple too, moreso than itunes or windows media player on windows12:19
Tonio_a computer isn't what I want if I just want to play an audio cd :)12:19
Tonio_computer is the issue then, not amarok :)12:19
alleefdoving: I don't care about the app behind the scene.  I only care about usability for noops ;)12:20
=== neoncode [n=neoncode@84.13.1.237] has joined #kubuntu-devel
imbrandonTonio_, well thats wrong becosue more people are using the computer for home entertainment12:20
Tonio_imbrandon: yes, I know (I do) and I consider than 2 clicks to play an audio cd with amarok doesn't make it complicated12:20
imbrandonexactly12:20
imbrandontry to play an audio cd in Window media player, its a bear12:21
Tonio_imbrandon: and that could be simplified with the "action selection" box in kde when you insert the media12:21
imbrandonand how BBIAB for real12:21
Tonio_imbrandon: yes, it is complicated in windows media player12:21
Tonio_imbrandon: but most grandmotha are doing it nowadays, because they are used to the default windows pre-installed player12:21
Tonio_that's the point12:21
Tonio_is "conditioning" correct in english ?12:22
imbrandonTonio_, i know, you dont have to preach to the choir bro, i'm right with ya on this one12:22
Tonio_to make my opinion clear, I just think than "usability", "simplicity" or "intuitiveness" are a matter of conditionning mostly12:23
Tonio_I am a windows "expert" more than a linux one, and I am amazed when I see people claiming windows is "simple"12:23
Tonio_is clicking on "start" to shut the computer down "intuitive" ? no but they are conditionned12:23
Tonio_and windows is, honnestly, horribly complex......12:24
alleeTonio_: If we can tweak the app started by 'action selection' media menu to do the right thing.  I'm fine with it.  If not let the people a choice to use the just-works powerless app.12:26
Tonio_allee: it can be done, I'm certain of that12:26
alleeTonio_: this would be great of course12:27
Tonio_allee: but that has to be done of course, which is the reason of that spec :)12:28
fdovinggnite.12:28
Tonio_bye fdoving12:28
fdovingbye tonio.12:29
Tonio_allee: in my opinion, it is better to have only one app for audio, even if the app does everything and is a bit more complicated, but with a good doc for the app12:30
Tonio_and documenting one app only i easier than documenting task by task with different apps everytime12:31
=== Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Tonio_k3b is complex for example, but I use it for everything, ripping audio cds, dvd, burning etc.... because one app is always easier to use than 10 apps for 10 tasks12:31
Tonio_80% people don't even know than k3b is capable to rip an audio cd...12:32
ryanakcamy 2: I agree...12:32
Tonio_they all use crappy kaudiocreator, which takes 40 minutes to rip when k3b takes 5 minutes12:32
ryanakcaK3B should be in the menu when you stick in an audio cd to rip it, instead of kaudicreater...12:33
Tonio_kaudiocreator is an horrible software, honnestly :)12:33
Tonio_ryanakca: yes, I'd like that to be done too for edgy+112:33
=== ryanakca tried it for the first time today... it gave me "file not found" errors when it was going to encode the tracks
Tonio_the only thing with kaudiocreator is the good kdesktop integration12:34
Tonio_but configuration is a mess (command line based) and performances are a shame......12:34
ryanakcalike, if your going to make a program, make sure that it can remember where it put it's .wavs...12:34
Tonio_most people consider k3b is a burning app but that's false12:35
=== ryanakca just learned you could rip with it :)
Tonio_it is like nero today, a complete cd operations solution12:35
ryanakcayeah12:35
Tonio_ryanakca: nobody nows, and that's my concern, since it is probably the best ripping kde application, simple to use, good performances, and gui based config12:36
ryanakcahow do you rip with it? 12:36
=== ryanakca doesn't see anything under the menus or taskbars or anything...
ryanakcas/2nd anything/anywheres12:36
Tonio_ryanakca: open, click on the cd on the left, then right click on a song and choose 'extract"12:36
Tonio_that's it12:36
Tonio_ryanakca: and compare performances between kaudiocreator and k3b, it is simply 8 to 10 times faster12:37
Tonio_ryanakca: the point is despite the good kde integration, I would prefer kubuntu without kaudiocreator, and a good kubuntu doc with, for example a "how to rip an audio cd" section12:38
ryanakcayeah, can k3b encode the stuff?12:38
ryanakcaaka -> mp3?12:38
Tonio_but eh ebst would be a good kde integration of course :)12:38
Tonio_ryanakca: sure12:38
Tonio_it can do mp3, ogg, flac and wav12:38
Tonio_same than kaudiocreator12:39
Tonio_you can rip a dvd to avi with it too......12:39
Tonio_ryanakca: the only difference is that encoding config is easier in k3b, and performances are 10 times better, but that's not more complicated12:40
Tonio_just that people don't know that12:40
Tonio_ryanakca: test you'll see :)12:41
alleeTonio_: well, for kscd and codeine, my noops didn't need _ANY_ docs.  For a simple job like play cd/dvd, play this audiofile etc  it should just be like this. Which apps and how, I don't care,  Simple things easy, compilicate possible :)12:42
alleeMaybe early in edgy+1 we need to explore discuss this with amarok/k3b/etc it they are not enough preseedable by a desktop file12:43
Tonio_allee: honnestly, to just play a file, kaffeine does the job too12:43
Tonio_double click -> kaffeine plays -> close the windows when finished12:43
Tonio_allee: on that point I don't see the difference with codeine12:43
Tonio_the only difference is when you want to play with menus and options12:43
Tonio_but if you want to play with menus and options, you have to be ready to read the docs12:44
Tonio_concerning amarok, I agree that "basic usage" is hard, but not kaffeine in my opinion12:44
Tonio_to play a dvd in kaffeine -> open kaffeine, and click "play dvd"12:45
alleeTonio_: What I mean is maybe the spec needs a list of common-actions medias and the goal should be to make them noops solvable without searching docs12:45
Tonio_allee: I can understand you, but honnestly kaffeine is not the good example :)12:45
Tonio_allee: yes, that's why I suggest to have an "extract cd with k3b" or "play cd with amarok" is the action selection box12:46
Tonio_I just don't understand how can kaffeine be considered complicated for basic usage ?12:46
Tonio_unless you play with the menus, basic usage with kaffeine is not very different than with codeine :)12:47
alleeTonio_: Uhm, then lot's must have changed in edgy!!! ;)12:47
Tonio_allee: bah kaffeine UI is completly different in fact12:47
Tonio_allee: ever played with kaffeine 0.8 ?12:48
ryanakcaTonio_: looks good... just keep on getting errors12:48
alleeTonio_: codeine works well, I had no reason until now to try kaffeine12:49
Tonio_allee: http://tonio.homelinux.org/tmp/capture2.png12:49
Tonio_allee: that's not "complicated" for basic usage ;)12:49
Tonio_and I would personnaly remove the audio cd part on the left, to make it even more simple12:50
alleeTonio_: would be nice if this could be splitted into kaffeine-audio pkgs ;)12:50
Tonio_allee: yes I asked upstream about that, audio section in an so file or something12:51
Tonio_allee: or configure option to disable all audio functions12:51
Tonio_allee: didn't receive any response :)12:51
alleeTonio_: heh, you frightened him with a castrated kaffeine ;)12:52
Tonio_allee: hehe :) maybe :)12:52
alleeTonio_: fwiw: Select 'News' in contact gives libknodepart.la not found :(12:53
alleelooks like a service desktop files need to be (re)moved12:53

Tonio_allee: didn't you install/remove knode ?12:54
Tonio_allee: /usr/share/services/kontact/knodeplugin.desktop12:55
Tonio_probably this one.......12:55
alleeTonio_: plain, edgy knot <?> install + dist-upgrade .  No additions12:55
Tonio_allee: locate knode | grep desktop12:56
Tonio_allee: what does it returns ?12:56
Tonio_shouldn't be there I don't understand12:56
alleeTonio_: my guess it that this desktop file need to be moved to the pkgs that contains libknodepart.*12:56
Tonio_kontact: usr/lib/kde3/libkontact_knodeplugin.la12:57
Tonio_hum......... what the f*ck is that in kontact ?12:57
Tonio_allee: knode: usr/share/services/kontact/knodeplugin.desktop12:57
Tonio_it is provided by knode, not kontact12:58
Tonio_allee: do you have a knodeplugin.desktop file ?12:58
Tonio_allee: I'm wondering if kontact uses desktop files or la files to list the modules..... should be desktop but I'm unsure12:59
alleeyes, pkg kontact12:59
Tonio_allee: what desktop file do you have ? I don't see a knode desktop file provided by kontact01:00
alleeTonio_: .desktop.  The service loader uses .so and .la files01:00

Tonio_allee looks too late to fix this....01:02
alleeEdgy32I thought tonight is edgy+1 time ;)01:02
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: bah only critical fixes are allowed now.... (I don't like that but that's it)01:03
Tonio_I don't understand why is there knode stuff in kdepim....01:04
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: we should ship with knode :) that would make it easier to manage :)01:04
alleeEdgy32Tonio_: moving knodeplugin.desktop away fixes it.01:04
alleeEdgy32Tonio_: :)01:04
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: yes I know but the problem is that we need to patch knode package to install that desktop file..... otherwise, it will not work anymore......;01:05
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: well I'll prepare the packages, I'll try to get them uploaded tomorrow01:05
Tonio_but there are only a few chances......01:05
alleeEdgy32Tonio_: maybe a review of services/*.desktop that checks if they are distributed with the shared libs for edgy+101:05
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: yes, especially because kde provides desktop files for external things01:06
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: I discovered recently that x-7z.desktop defines a p7zip protocol in kdelibs01:06
Tonio_but no ioslave is provided.......01:06
Tonio_there are lots of thigns like that in kde01:07
alleeEdgy32no kdeslave at all or is it just in another kde* module?01:08
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: I can hide "news" in kds too, but it'll be hard to activate it again for users who use knode01:08
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: no kde slave at all :) that's the funny part :)01:08
alleeEdgy32heh heh01:08
alleeEdgy32Tonio_: hiding is wrong.  Better wait unti it can be moved to knode pkgs01:08
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: yes01:09
Tonio_but if I had to choose, I would ship with knode01:09
Tonio_kubuntu is the ONLY distro I've seen that doesn't have a usenet client installed out of the box01:09
Tonio_even windows has......01:09
Tonio_ubuntu has01:10
=== alleeEdgy32 stopped using NNTP due to low signal/noise ratio
alleeEdgy32but if theres space on CDROM, knode cant hurt ;)01:11
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: yeah me too, but well... some people are still using this01:11
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: that's another debate ;) we have to free space on the cd01:12
Tonio_we are about the limit01:12
alleeEdgy32geek apps need more space than noop apps 01:12
=== alleeEdgy32 hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiides
Tonio_alleeEdgy32: OOo need to much space :)01:13
Tonio_that the point01:13
Tonio_65 MB on the cd, while kofice would only take 10 megs (as we already have koffice translations, koffice-date etc with krita)01:13
Tonio_I looked at the size and switching to koffice would free about 60 megs on the cd.....01:14
Tonio_but that's a BIG debate :)01:14

abattoirAdministrator: that's because you already have a 'user account'03:33

abattoir(since this is meant for a setup with no previous user)03:34
abattoirAdministrator: you can override that if you want, if you want to test it03:35

abattoirAdministrator: this is how it works.... 1) you install kubuntu in 'OEM mode' 2) you login as oem, and then do the necesary changes, lets say you install drivers for your hardware, include your company logo etc., 3) then you run 'sudo oem-config-prepare' 4) You then replicate the harddisk image onto other harddisks 5) you ship it to the user 6) When the user logs in, a new account is created, and it is setup according to his03:42

Administratorabattoir, how can I override all that? I just want to create a new user account on the first boot.03:43
abattoirAdministrator: on a system which already has other users?03:44
Administratorabattoir, yes.03:44
abattoirAdministrator: ok, install oem-config, then modify /usr/lib/oem-config/user/functions.sh(to override user detection), then run 'sudo oem-config prepare'03:45
abattoirAdministrator: on the next boot, oem-config should create a new user03:45
abattoirAdministrator: btw, it has edgy dependencies, so i don't think it'll work in breezy03:46
abattoirAdministrator: unless you manually hunt and install the dependencies03:46

Enola_GayRiddell: sorry, I was afk. It works in Dapper at least some time ago but not anymore. I have ipw2200 which is pretty common afaik. But since Networkmanager doesn't support double wlan authentication like wpa supplicant I am useing the wpa roaming script. Maybe that is the reason. But stopping doesn't help.09:15
Enola_Gay+not anymore in Edgy09:17
Enola_GayI am going to check the today networkmanager update.09:18

marseillaioki seems to be solve it was a kde configuration problem in system settings09:46

MezI've signed in to get them10:14
Mezno email - I go check the pipex website ... Unfortunately your exchange does not currently support broadband services.10:14
nixternalRiddell: i found out with the changes we made, there isn't time to get translations on the new strings, so when translations do come back, they will only break what we just fixed10:14
imbrandonDaSkreech, i dont do the newsletter everytime ;) nixternal and corey burger do more than me for it.10:16

gnomefreakDaSkreech: check in the help section of akregator?10:22
marseillaiRiddell: when i launch qt-language-selector and select french as default langage it doesn't select french as default language in system-settings so my kde stay in english10:22
DaSkreechgnomefreak: Do so yourself my friend :)10:22
mhbRiddell: it didn't work out with the hwdb-kde strings, did it?10:22

Riddellmarseillai: it doesn't sound like a good idea10:38
Riddellmarseillai: what needs done?10:38
DaSkreechmarseillai: A power user will be using the Alternate10:38
marseillaiRiddell: my idea : possiblity to add or remove repo from sources.list during installation, possibility to download packages from the net, possibility to add package to install during installation.10:39
marseillaiDaSkreech: i mean with more possibility10:40
DaSkreechoh.. a hand rolled distro? :)10:40
LureRiddell: what is the plan with Sime's recent patches for audiocd? no chance to get them in post RC?10:41
marseillaiDaSkreech: not really because we still depends on kubuntu-desktop but add some packages for example.10:42
DaSkreechmarseillai: I'm sure all of that can be added to the alternate10:43
marseillaiDaSkreech: i know that when i install a kubuntu to anyone i install video drivers restricted formats, flash, java kde-games and some things like that and it would be great to be able to do this during installation10:43
