[12:12] fdoving: I'm not saying that we have to force them, but that we have to find a compromisse [12:12] I agree with linus on the point that if you consider your users idiots only idiots will use your softwares.... [12:13] but that's too elitist too [12:13] the idea is compromise for me.... [12:13] Tonio_, 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 split [12:13] codeine is very nice, I agree, but dvb is now widely used... [12:13] how would the users handle dvb if we provide codeine for example ? [12:14] Tonio_: no, no. Not _only_ codeine [12:14] imbrandon: i agree, and i think that's what tonio_ says too. [12:14] imbrandon: you said it : reading the instructions [12:14] as long as the application is usable "reading the instructions", that's okay [12:15] Tonio_: when an app provides a mode when a noop can do the simple stuff great [12:15] but you cant expect them to know all the features without reading, only the basic funnctions , enough to get "used": to it [12:15] using amarok for audiocds still doesn't sound right, though. [12:15] 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] fdoving: 2 clicks...... [12:15] insert audio cd -> open amarok -> play audio cd [12:16] fdoving, why not amarok is an audio player [12:16] then we should have an audio cd player, a standalone mp3 player, a collection manager etc........ ? [12:16] dozens of millions of noobs are using itune and they are fine with it [12:17] just because they HAD to learn because of their ipod [12:17] now they are used to it, they claim everywhere that it is simple, but itunes is at least as complicated as amarok [12:18] Tonio_, 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 up [12:18] who already went in winamp 5 config dialog ? is incredibly complicated too etc..... [12:18] anyhow , shower, bbiab [12:18] imbrandon: amarok is a big beast of a audio player, it's not what i want if i just want to play a audio cd. [12:19] fdoving: if I just want to play an audio cd, I do like most people -> cd player at home :) [12:19] fdoving, it can be very simple too, moreso than itunes or windows media player on windows [12:19] a computer isn't what I want if I just want to play an audio cd :) [12:19] computer is the issue then, not amarok :) [12:20] fdoving: I don't care about the app behind the scene. I only care about usability for noops ;) === neoncode [n=neoncode@84.13.1.237] has joined #kubuntu-devel [12:20] Tonio_, well thats wrong becosue more people are using the computer for home entertainment [12:20] imbrandon: yes, I know (I do) and I consider than 2 clicks to play an audio cd with amarok doesn't make it complicated [12:20] exactly [12:21] try to play an audio cd in Window media player, its a bear [12:21] imbrandon: and that could be simplified with the "action selection" box in kde when you insert the media [12:21] and how BBIAB for real [12:21] imbrandon: yes, it is complicated in windows media player [12:21] imbrandon: but most grandmotha are doing it nowadays, because they are used to the default windows pre-installed player [12:21] that's the point [12:22] is "conditioning" correct in english ? [12:22] Tonio_, i know, you dont have to preach to the choir bro, i'm right with ya on this one [12:23] to make my opinion clear, I just think than "usability", "simplicity" or "intuitiveness" are a matter of conditionning mostly [12:23] I am a windows "expert" more than a linux one, and I am amazed when I see people claiming windows is "simple" [12:23] is clicking on "start" to shut the computer down "intuitive" ? no but they are conditionned [12:24] and windows is, honnestly, horribly complex...... [12:26] Tonio_: 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] allee: it can be done, I'm certain of that [12:27] Tonio_: this would be great of course [12:28] allee: but that has to be done of course, which is the reason of that spec :) [12:28] gnite. [12:28] bye fdoving [12:29] bye tonio. [12:30] 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 app [12:31] and documenting one app only i easier than documenting task by task with different apps everytime === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #kubuntu-devel [12:31] 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 tasks [12:32] 80% people don't even know than k3b is capable to rip an audio cd... [12:32] my 2: I agree... [12:32] they all use crappy kaudiocreator, which takes 40 minutes to rip when k3b takes 5 minutes [12:33] K3B should be in the menu when you stick in an audio cd to rip it, instead of kaudicreater... [12:33] kaudiocreator is an horrible software, honnestly :) [12:33] ryanakca: yes, I'd like that to be done too for edgy+1 === ryanakca tried it for the first time today... it gave me "file not found" errors when it was going to encode the tracks [12:34] the only thing with kaudiocreator is the good kdesktop integration [12:34] but configuration is a mess (command line based) and performances are a shame...... [12:34] like, if your going to make a program, make sure that it can remember where it put it's .wavs... [12:35] most people consider k3b is a burning app but that's false === ryanakca just learned you could rip with it :) [12:35] it is like nero today, a complete cd operations solution [12:35] yeah [12:36] 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 config [12:36] how do you rip with it? === ryanakca doesn't see anything under the menus or taskbars or anything... [12:36] s/2nd anything/anywheres [12:36] ryanakca: open, click on the cd on the left, then right click on a song and choose 'extract" [12:36] that's it [12:37] ryanakca: and compare performances between kaudiocreator and k3b, it is simply 8 to 10 times faster [12:38] 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" section [12:38] yeah, can k3b encode the stuff? [12:38] aka -> mp3? [12:38] but eh ebst would be a good kde integration of course :) [12:38] ryanakca: sure [12:38] it can do mp3, ogg, flac and wav [12:39] same than kaudiocreator [12:39] you can rip a dvd to avi with it too...... [12:40] ryanakca: the only difference is that encoding config is easier in k3b, and performances are 10 times better, but that's not more complicated [12:40] just that people don't know that [12:41] ryanakca: test you'll see :) [12:42] Tonio_: 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 :) [12:43] Maybe early in edgy+1 we need to explore discuss this with amarok/k3b/etc it they are not enough preseedable by a desktop file [12:43] allee: honnestly, to just play a file, kaffeine does the job too [12:43] double click -> kaffeine plays -> close the windows when finished [12:43] allee: on that point I don't see the difference with codeine [12:43] the only difference is when you want to play with menus and options [12:44] but if you want to play with menus and options, you have to be ready to read the docs [12:44] concerning amarok, I agree that "basic usage" is hard, but not kaffeine in my opinion [12:45] to play a dvd in kaffeine -> open kaffeine, and click "play dvd" [12:45] Tonio_: 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 docs [12:45] allee: I can understand you, but honnestly kaffeine is not the good example :) [12:46] allee: yes, that's why I suggest to have an "extract cd with k3b" or "play cd with amarok" is the action selection box [12:46] I just don't understand how can kaffeine be considered complicated for basic usage ? [12:47] unless you play with the menus, basic usage with kaffeine is not very different than with codeine :) [12:47] Tonio_: Uhm, then lot's must have changed in edgy!!! ;) [12:47] allee: bah kaffeine UI is completly different in fact [12:48] allee: ever played with kaffeine 0.8 ? [12:48] Tonio_: looks good... just keep on getting errors [12:49] Tonio_: codeine works well, I had no reason until now to try kaffeine [12:49] allee: http://tonio.homelinux.org/tmp/capture2.png [12:49] allee: that's not "complicated" for basic usage ;) [12:50] and I would personnaly remove the audio cd part on the left, to make it even more simple [12:50] Tonio_: would be nice if this could be splitted into kaffeine-audio pkgs ;) [12:51] allee: yes I asked upstream about that, audio section in an so file or something [12:51] allee: or configure option to disable all audio functions [12:51] allee: didn't receive any response :) [12:52] Tonio_: heh, you frightened him with a castrated kaffeine ;) [12:52] allee: hehe :) maybe :) [12:53] Tonio_: fwiw: Select 'News' in contact gives libknodepart.la not found :( [12:53] looks like a service desktop files need to be (re)moved [12:53] allee: is it there by default ?????? === Ingmar^ [n=ingmar@4.123-136-217.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #kubuntu-devel [12:54] allee: didn't you install/remove knode ? [12:55] allee: /usr/share/services/kontact/knodeplugin.desktop [12:55] probably this one....... [12:55] Tonio_: plain, edgy knot install + dist-upgrade . No additions [12:56] allee: locate knode | grep desktop [12:56] allee: what does it returns ? [12:56] shouldn't be there I don't understand [12:56] Tonio_: my guess it that this desktop file need to be moved to the pkgs that contains libknodepart.* [12:57] kontact: usr/lib/kde3/libkontact_knodeplugin.la [12:57] hum......... what the f*ck is that in kontact ?

[01:04] alleeEdgy32: we should ship with knode :) that would make it easier to manage :) [01:04] Tonio_: moving knodeplugin.desktop away fixes it. [01:04] Tonio_: :) [01:05] 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] alleeEdgy32: well I'll prepare the packages, I'll try to get them uploaded tomorrow [01:05] but there are only a few chances...... [01:05] Tonio_: maybe a review of services/*.desktop that checks if they are distributed with the shared libs for edgy+1 [01:06] alleeEdgy32: yes, especially because kde provides desktop files for external things [01:06] alleeEdgy32: I discovered recently that x-7z.desktop defines a p7zip protocol in kdelibs [01:06] but no ioslave is provided....... [01:07] there are lots of thigns like that in kde [01:08] no kdeslave at all or is it just in another kde* module? [01:08] alleeEdgy32: I can hide "news" in kds too, but it'll be hard to activate it again for users who use knode [01:08] alleeEdgy32: no kde slave at all :) that's the funny part :) [01:08] heh heh [01:08] Tonio_: hiding is wrong. Better wait unti it can be moved to knode pkgs [01:09] alleeEdgy32: yes [01:09] but if I had to choose, I would ship with knode [01:09] kubuntu is the ONLY distro I've seen that doesn't have a usenet client installed out of the box [01:09] even windows has......

[02:21] could you point me out the the right file? [02:26] gebruike1: look for usersetup.py (should be under components).. iirc, it executes a few scripts as well... [02:27] I assume you mean the Live CD graphical installer and not the text installer... [02:28] yes the grahpical one, I need to use the adduser code. I'm cloning kubuntu images, so I'm in search of a application that allows the user easy to add a first time user to the system.

[03:29] Riddell: doesn't work for me on a not-so-fresh install. :| [03:33] Administrator: that's because you already have a 'user account' [03:34] Administrator: the default action is to skip that step if an account already exists [03:34] (since this is meant for a setup with no previous user) [03:35] Administrator: you can override that if you want, if you want to test it [03:37] I found out that also oem-config-prepare doesn't exist on the system [03:38] there is no manual page, It would be nice if someone could give me some quikc pointers [03:39] it would be nice If I could go directly to the creating of an account process abattoir . === bddebian [n=bdefrees@mail.ottens.com] has joined #kubuntu-devel [03:42] Howdy [03:42] Administrator: 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 his [03:42] location, locale timezone etc. [03:42] wow, that was big... [03:42] and was cut :P [03:43] hi bddebian [03:43] Heya Jucato [03:43] abattoir, how can I override all that? I just want to create a new user account on the first boot. [03:44] Administrator: on a system which already has other users? [03:44] abattoir, yes. [03:45] Administrator: 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] Administrator: on the next boot, oem-config should create a new user [03:46] Administrator: btw, it has edgy dependencies, so i don't think it'll work in breezy [03:46] Administrator: unless you manually hunt and install the dependencies [03:48] then i will install oem-config from edgy on breezy. === mbiebl [n=michael@e180109220.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel [03:59] Administrator: i wouldn't recommend doing that, but then if you know what you're doing... === abattoir [n=abattoir@cm238.omega16.maxonline.com.sg] has joined #kubuntu-devel [04:19] abattoir, i know about the pyhton package that is only in edgy but ... what other choise is there a.t.m? [04:19] Administrator: you can't upgrade or switch to edgy? [04:20] you want me to deliver computers to costumers with edgy? [04:20] is that a sane idea? [04:20] in a couple of weeks time, i'd say yes... [04:20] ok, wait a sec [04:22] any update on kde bug 133388 ?? (pet peeve...) [04:22] Administrator: if you are able to install the necessary version of debconf(>=1.4.52), get console-setup, i guess it'd work... [04:22] KDE bug 133388 in general "Manage Repositories is disabled" [Normal,New] http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133388 [04:23] Jucato: i think Riddell is working on it( or will work on it soon) [04:23] so I get debconf and console-setup working on breezy, then it should be ok? [04:23] great then I could start building. [04:23] oh ok. just wondering as RC is close [04:24] Jucato: it works in current edgy. [04:24] that should be fixed [04:24] it is. [04:24] phew [04:24] ah ok. what should I do about the bug report then? [04:24] or.. wait. [04:24] Administrator: i really haven't tested it in anything other than edgy, might work in dapper, not sure about breezy, you can try it out and tell me ;) [04:24] the menu entry is not greyed out anymore.. but adept crashed when i clicked it. [04:25] ouch, that's bad... [04:25] no, it works. [04:25] Administrator: yes, its mainly the dependencies, afaik, the proogram itself doesn't depend on anything edgy specific [04:27] dh_pysupport, is also not in breezy. [04:27] works fine here too [04:28] fdoving: oh that's great then. who can change the bug report's status, then? [04:28] Jucato: the launchpad bug is changed. [04:28] Administrator: i'm not familiar with the backporting process, but it might be possible to backport it to dapper, or even breezy... [04:28] adept crashes if you select adept -> manage repositories before it's finished loading. [04:29] er.. didn't know it was reported in launchpad too @_@ [04:32] abattoir, what about apt-pinning? [04:32] should that work? [04:34] Administrator: i've not tried it... it will not cause any side-effects? will not break other stuff? === Kuhrscher [n=jannick@91.64.2.5] has joined #kubuntu-devel [04:44] abattoir, it appears that I have to build python from edgy to.

[05:09] and I can deliver those on images to costumers. [05:10] if the upgrade fails il be forced backport every single package that has to be packborted, and it will cost my hours. [05:10] however, if all runs fine, then i'll just use edgy. [05:13] Administrator: umm... wait, you are upgrading to edgy from breezy? [05:13] Administrator: upgrade will most probably fail... [05:14] yes [05:14] Administrator: you'd need to upgrade breezy->dapper, and then dapper->edgy [05:14] hmm ok [05:22] Administrator: if you're doing oem installs I highly recommend doing them with edgy [05:23] backporting bits of the installer is generally a bad idea [05:31]
