Riddellif you need a visa those have special requirements, in the UK donating to the Labour party is sufficient12:23
Riddellbut I doubt you need a visa for spain, they should have a visa waiver programme12:23

mhbI know it's off-topic, but can someone explain to me the difference between a restricted driver and a proprietary driver?01:58
mhbI need that for translations01:58
_StefanS_restricted is because the license is not entirely free, could be a variant of GPL (LGPL or something)02:00
_StefanS_propreritary is closed source binary blobs02:00
Jucatoafaik "restricted" is an Ubuntu-created term, created to distinguish drivers/packages that are proprietary but considered by Ubuntu as necessary02:01
_StefanS_where you cannot get access to the source, and if you can that would be under a NDA-agreement, and you cant disclose any information to the public02:01
_StefanS_Jucato: I think so too02:01
_StefanS_mhb: it seems like Jucato knows more about this ...02:02

_StefanS_Jucato: could you see how slow/fast my testapp works on your system ?04:56
Jucato_StefanS_: sure. but you'd have to tell me how to install it :)04:57
_StefanS_Jucato: just run it from a konsole04:57
_StefanS_Jucato: got a mail ?04:57
Jucatoyeah: jucato@kubuntu.org :P04:57
_StefanS_hehe04:57
_StefanS_nice one there04:57
Jucatohope it lasts forever :D04:57
_StefanS_Jucato: heh, well Its sent now..04:58
Jucatook gonna check now :)04:58
_StefanS_goody04:59
Jucato_StefanS_: ./foo ?05:00
_StefanS_yes05:00
Jucatook what should I be looking for?05:01
_StefanS_the speed of which the faded background appear05:02
_StefanS_or the lack of ;)05:02
Jucatoit appears instantaneously here05:02
_StefanS_erh ?!05:02
Jucatonot like the logout fade05:02
_StefanS_what x driver are you using ?05:02
Jucatonvidia-glx05:02
_StefanS_ah..might be ati05:03
_StefanS_i'm using fglrx05:03
_StefanS_what resolution are you running ?05:03
Jucatothe highest that I can... 1024x768 :(05:03
_StefanS_hmm ..05:03
_StefanS_maybe its ok then.. I can't do it any different anyways05:04
_StefanS_Jucato: do you think it needs to fade, or is that instant thing okay ?05:04
Jucatolet me check again :D05:05
_StefanS_cause I like it appearing instantly05:05
Jucatoimho the instant thing is better in this case (unlike the logout)05:05
Jucatoit's a different use case imho05:06
_StefanS_yes because you need to move on quickly, since you're in the process of running an application05:06
Jucatoand an important one at that05:06
Jucatobut, I just noticed that clicking outside the dialog box cancels it, like the logout dialog. that might not be good in this case, imho again05:07
_StefanS_well I tried to make it ignore that, but since they are of the type popup, I might have to override the click events05:08
_StefanS_and just reject them05:08
Jucatohm... ah because the effect doesn't work w/ dialog boxes...05:08
_StefanS_yessir..05:08
_StefanS_thats the whole problem05:08

_StefanS_If i'm not using popup, I just get a maximized window displaying "testapplication" in the top, and the it fades inside that window05:09
_StefanS_intercepting the click event should be easy though05:09

_StefanS_wasnt 10 secs ago :)10:58
yuriynew link?10:58
_StefanS_nope the same10:58
_StefanS_this is the kdevelop project10:59
yuriy_StefanS_: is it supposed to be an animation like with the feisty shutdown dialog?11:00
_StefanS_yuriy: nope11:00
_StefanS_yuriy: just grey.11:00
_StefanS_yuriy: is it fast ?11:00
yuriy_StefanS_: fast, just a tiny flicker before it appears11:02
_StefanS_yuriy: I think that is just Qt doing its thing..11:02
_StefanS_yuriy: good, and you're on 1400x1050 ?11:02
yuriy_StefanS_: that was 1280 one sec11:02
_StefanS_oka11:02
yuriy_11:03
yuriy_StefanS_: about the same on 1400x105011:03
_StefanS_yuriy: oka, so no noticable wait11:03
yuriyno wait, but i can see it drawing11:04
yuriybut it takes <1s11:04
_StefanS_ok, do you think its ok to wait for that before being presented with the kdesu dialog, when eg. starting adept or something ?11:04
ryanakca_StefanS_: It doesn't fade into grey really... just makes the screen grey11:07
ryanakcaand... the logout/shutdown dialog button thingy is really off center11:07
_StefanS_ryanakca: well dont mind the dialog there, its just random stuff11:08
ryanakcaaka, the screen is normal, flickers, and is grey11:08
yuriy_StefanS_: i think a fade would be nicer, but that needs compositing or it'd be slow, right?11:08
=== ryanakca thinks a fade like Ubuntu's would be nice
_StefanS_yuriy: yes.. its really a compromise11:08
ryanakcagradual11:08
yuriy_StefanS_: but ubuntu does it? as ryanakca just said?11:09
_StefanS_yuriy: yep donno about gtk, but some stuff seems faster11:09
ryanakcahow did the gnome people do it without compositing? (aka, I didn't have compositing on, and it worked, and was nice and gradual... and it was an older machine too)11:09
yuriyok i tried gksu11:10
yuriyit's gradual, but it flickers11:10
_StefanS_well all I know is that QPixmap::grabWindow() which I use is extremely slow ..11:10
_StefanS_and AFAIK theres no alternative11:10
yuriybut still a little nicer than shorter flicker and not gradual11:10
ryanakcais it safe to assume that the oldest video card for kubuntu will be 5 years?11:11
_StefanS_ryanakca: donno, probably11:11
ryanakcaor do we have to make it compatible with /all/ of them?11:11
ryanakcas/we/you11:11
=== ryanakca hunts for a kolab tester
_StefanS_well if you got a slower machine I say you're used to waiting a bit for stuff to happen, else you might atleast choose something like puppylinux instead11:12
_StefanS_and not kde ;)11:12
ryanakcalol11:12
ryanakcayeah... you'd be more likely to use XFCE/xubuntu11:12
_StefanS_maybe I will make a gradual fade.. just dont want to slow the user down11:12
ryanakcaor fvwm/afterstep/ratpoison/aewm/alltheotherwm11:13
ryanakcayeah11:13
_StefanS_remember its just  a step in a process of running something with root priv.11:13
yuriythe gksu gradual fade is pretty fast11:13
_StefanS_yes I know, have it here on vmware11:13
yuriyjust that i can see the rectangles being painted11:13
ryanakca_StefanS_: I'd make it last 1.5s-2s, no more11:13
yuriy2s is too long imo11:13
_StefanS_<2 definitely11:13
=== _StefanS_ hates waiting
ryanakcaWell, how long does it take for you to get your mouse from KMenu to the center of the screen? Make it twice that...11:14
ryanakcaOr.. stick the dialog there, but make the background keep fading11:14
_StefanS_yes, I thought about that also11:15
ryanakcaThat way they don't have to wait, but they have fading in the back11:15
_StefanS_yes, will do that11:15
_StefanS_gawd i hate this ati hell11:16
ryanakcalol11:17
ryanakcawell, I wish I could use beryl with nvidia11:17
ryanakcabut... no... screen lock permanently locks my screen...11:17
ryanakcaas well as the screen saver... and.... apps have black squares instead of their interfaces11:17
_StefanS_what gfx card you have ?11:18
_StefanS_well I better to bed... my daughter usually wakes up at 6.00 - 6.3011:19
