dotwaffleWhat are people's thoughts on Wine in Ubuntu, btw?12:48
jendaFor me, it's a temporary solution to a permanent problem. I avoid it.12:50
Burgworkit works for somethings not for others12:50
Burgworktotally unsupportable12:50
dotwaffleSo many people I show Ubuntu to are prevented from total migration by one or two applications, typically in-house developed. Just wondering what people though about it.12:51
jendaYou should offer it as a solution.12:51
dotwaffleYeah, I just don't hace the experience in Wine... Ought to spend an afternoon with it..12:52

tonyyarussohuH?06:25
Burgundaviacpu frequency06:25
tonyyarussoOkay06:25
tonyyarussoThat makes a lot more sense than me thinking about something related to the 'gpm' package.06:25
tonyyarussoum, where is it?06:27
Burgundaviagnome-power-manager06:28
Burgundaviaappears there is no UI06:29
Burgundaviaso I need a short para on the following changes:06:29
Burgundaviagdm theme changes, new metacity theme and that gpm thing06:29
BurgundaviaI need urls for all three as well06:29
Burgundaviafor gdm, look on the gdm mailing list06:29
Burgundaviafor metacity, ditto06:29

elkbuntuBurgundavia, right on it06:38
BurgundaviaAdmiral_Chicago: documentation?06:38
Admiral_Chicagolooking forward to Feisty i meant06:38
elkbuntuBurgundavia, ... where's the window decoration?06:38
Burgundaviaah, fucking compiz06:38
elkbuntuyeah, it's a bit like that06:39
elkbuntui havent bothered reinstalling it yet06:39
Burgundavialet me reshoot06:39
Burgundaviaman metacity works so much better06:39
elkbuntuimagine that06:39
poningruhehe06:40
Admiral_ChicagoBurgundavia: i like Beryl a LOT better06:41
BurgundaviaAdmiral_Chicago: tbh, they are both crap06:41
Burgundaviaand I am scared shitless of beryl's development cycle and general structure06:41
Admiral_Chicagoi wish i didn't have them installed but man it's impressive. it's just not functional06:41
Admiral_Chicagoit's eye candy06:41
BurgundaviaI suspect CompositeByDefault will die on the floor, due to technical limitations06:42
Burgundaviaie: compiz and beryl are not "enterprise ready"06:42
Admiral_Chicagono it's not ready for the desktop06:42
Admiral_Chicagoif anything, it should have been in Edgy06:43
Admiral_Chicagoi don't see anything wrong with one "testing", two stable release, one testing release cycle06:43
Admiral_ChicagoEdgy was a testing release, dapper was really stable and a solid system06:44
Burgundaviathat isn't how upstream works06:44
Burgundaviaand given 98% of our bugs come from upstream...06:44
Admiral_Chicagothats true.06:44
BurgundaviaI have now filed 11 bugs on compiz in 2 days06:46
Burgundaviayou realize what this means?06:46
Burgundaviaponingru: feel free to finish the GNOME stuff06:46
BurgundaviaI need to hack at the kernel stuff06:46
poningruk06:47
Admiral_ChicagoBurgundavia: the real beef I have is the "one desktop" thing06:49
Burgundaviayes, that drives me bonkers06:50
Burgundaviait was needed for the ridiculous cube crap06:50
Admiral_Chicagoif i'm on a seperate viewport, i DONT want to see the other open windows in other viewports in my taskbar06:51
Admiral_Chicagoit makes me nuts06:51
Admiral_Chicagoand i want to be able to put a different background on a different viewport06:51
Admiral_Chicagothat would make me happy06:51
Admiral_Chicagodon't get me wrong, the developers do amazing work06:55
poningruyeah what would be really cool is to expand the polyhedron according to the number of viewports added06:58
poningruwtf06:59
poningruwiki.gnome.org just gave me server down06:59
Burgundavialive.gnome.org07:00
Burgundaviaelkbuntu: mind doing your spelling lovelyness?07:16
Burgundaviawe are almost ready07:16
poningruBurgundavia: I dont know about that last comment in gobby07:17
Burgundaviaright07:17
poningrutheme and gpm should be seperate imho07:17
Burgundaviafor those smaller changes,without a screenshot, we should group them together07:18
poningruwell there is a bunch of theme changes that are being grouped together07:18
poningruand for the gpm you cant really do a screeny07:19
Burgundaviayep, but none of those have a UI yet07:20
poningruright07:20
poningrumostly backend07:20
Burgundaviano screenshot == no section07:20
poningru:(07:20
poningruI dont know if I like that one07:20
poningrubut dude power is reall != theme07:21
poningrureally*07:21
poningrugrouping them together is like grouping cpu and hdd together... not even same category07:22
Burgundaviathemes are interesting, but neither of those things are really: I am going to install Feisty over them07:22
Burgundaviahence they are minor changes07:22
Burgundaviawe are grouping by interesting-ness, not location in the desktop07:22
elkbuntu"Of course, one game did get axed. Sadly "07:22
elkbuntuwhat comes next?07:22
poningruBurgundavia: I'd say power is interesting07:23
poningruespecially lower mem usage07:23
Burgundaviaminor stuff07:23
poningrupeople eat that up07:23
Burgundaviaelkbuntu: right, need to figure out which game got axed07:23
elkbuntuiirc there used to be 2 majhong games07:24
Burgundaviayep, ataxx got dropped07:24
poningruBurgundavia: if you are serious about this then I will combine them... but I still say we should give them each their section07:25
poningruespecially power07:25
Burgundavialets do one section, see how it looks and then make a decions07:25
poningrukk07:26
elkbuntuone thing im waiting for, or if its just me that hasnt found it, an easier way... an option for gnome-panel icons to need double-click07:30
Burgundaviamaybe the new applet stuff will do it07:32
elkbuntuim talking about the launchers07:32
Burgundaviathose are applets07:33
Burgundaviahmm, maybe a video of the doubleclicking action?07:34
poningrucan someone go to bugs.ubuntu.com?07:35
Burgundaviait works07:37
Burgundaviaredirects to lp07:38

jendaomg 06:17
atoponcenice, eh?06:19
jendaFor the unindoctrinated, wheat flour contains two proteins: gliadin and glutenin. When these two proteins get together and get wet, they turn into gluten. And the more gluten is worked (via mixing, kneading, etc), the more elastic it gets, which of course makes it chewier.06:19
