tom_Im running FEISTY GNOME but I prefer KAFFEINE to TOTEM. Since it has much better subtitle support. It takes guite some time for the first time launch of KAFFEINE per session since it has to load all of the KDE-CORE libs. Is it possible to recompile the KDE-CORE libs and somehow compile them just for Kaffeine so they would start faster and put them into /opt/KDE? Afterwards I would just need to recompile kaffeine and choose the --prefix=/opt/08:48

tom_riddel- we have a problem over at KUBUNTU. Is prelinking even neccesary in latest feisy? Since Feisty has DT_GNU_HASH which dramatically speeds up the linking process without the need for continuously running this prelink program. This is written here>http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7419709:28
Riddelltom_: so what's the problem?09:38
tom_well does Feisty benefit from installing the 'prelink' package or not? Since according to this thread09:39
tom_http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7419709:39
tom_it is already using prelinking by default.09:39
Riddellthat forum post says not09:42
tom_so that forum post is correct? Since over at kubuntu they were persuading me that prelink still must be installed in feisty. and now I do not know what is the truth?09:44

Riddellit has a binary in it, but it doesn't seem to do anything01:32
imbrandonits obsolete now, it did make sane defaults for kde01:33
Riddellimbrandon: why is it obsolete?01:33
imbrandonkwwii, feisty just sudo apt-get install beryl and then run beryl-manager01:33
Riddellimbrandon: how come you're packager for compiz too?  wasn't seb128 doing it?01:33
imbrandonRiddell, they are merging , so me and seb both are doign it now, beryl and compiz will be one for gutsy01:34
Riddellright01:34
imbrandonand its obsolete because beryl-kubuntu will take its place soon ( with a new name )01:34

imbrandoncool ok, and the level2.Profile is our sane-defaults, it eventualy needs to migrate to k-d-s02:10
imbrandone.g. not "Full Bling"02:11
Riddellimbrandon: so for nice KDE integration we really just need a desktop-effects for KDE, then with beryl/compiz merger we want aquamarine in main and we have a compositing window manager without any gtk stuff being brought in?02:11
Riddellimbrandon: what's in level2.Profile that shouldn't be in the ubuntu defaults too?02:11
imbrandonyup and no there is one Level2.Profile for Kubuntu and one for Ubuntu as one uses Helidor and one uses Aqusamarine02:12
imbrandons/s//02:12
imbrandonif it was done "right" it would be in k-d-s and u-d-s as an "alternative" but it wasent done that way02:13
Riddellright02:13
Riddellimbrandon: there is a berly kcontrol module in aquamarine, do you think the author of that would be interested in extending it to do what desktop-effects does?02:14

Riddellwell they're not, I just put them in that pastebin :)05:43

Riddellcanonoical management seems to think that's the best way for this cycle05:45
manchickenEh?05:45
Riddellbut specs can be registered on launchpad and there's plenty sessions open for them to be scheduled05:45

manchickenAre we crossing the line from sponsorship and leadership to control?05:46

giangy<stuart_> QUESTION: Kubuntu is a great distro but (IMHO) lacks polish and features compared to Ubuntu. Are there any plans to bring in more paid Kubuntu developers now or in the future?09:53
giangy    *09:53
giangymh, this sux.09:53
giangy      yes, the kubuntu team will expand, but i think kubuntu will always be more independent of canonical, which is in many was a good thing. somethings happen first in ubuntu, because that's where we focus our resources for new releases, other things happen first in kubuntu, because the decisions there are more bottom-up09:53

Tm_Tgiangy: yes?09:53

giangymhb: without doubts, but I don't like that Kubuntu is considered less important or "it lacks polish and features" than Gnome (Ubuntu)10:09

mhbgiangy: the other problem is that "lacking polish" is really abstract. The devs (and people using Kubuntu for a long time) are used to the interface, so they need to be told what exactly is incorrect10:12
DaSkreechmhb: I like the polish of Kubuntu so far10:13

mhbit's hard to say what "polish" really is - except for stuff that comes from Poland10:18

ScottKThe real issue I think is that KDE 3 is essentially in bugfix mode while we wait for KDE 4.  Given that, lack of lots of new wizbang is pretty much a given.  You want wildman, go install KDE 4...10:33
DaSkreechScottK: Well.. yeah that's why we would have a wildman10:34
DaSkreech have a KDE4/KDE3 crazy things CD10:35
DaSkreechmake sure it's kinda seen as a dev CD10:35
DaSkreechEven when KDE4 ships and becomes Kubuntu default we can try things like Compositing or apps that didn't quite make the deadline on it10:35
\shproblem of Kubuntu is still, less paid devs for UI and too many wishlists from Community.10:37
\shit's not a kde 3/4 problem..it's a problem of resources10:37
DaSkreechWell yeah but we only really deal with KDE stuff10:38
\shand yeah, I do believe, Mark should stay to his promise for more paid KDE devs, but I don't see it happen in the future very soon.10:38
DaSkreechA lot of the other things we inherit10:39
fdovingit's not like a payed developer or two could re-design kde from the ground up in a few months anyway.10:39
fdovinglet's wait for/hack kde4 :)10:40
DaSkreech:-)10:40
\shfdoving, kde4 will be usable in 2 years time, just like kde3 in the beginning10:40
fdoving\sh: so in the meantime let's redesign kde3? :)10:40
\shfdoving, and it has to do with "more resources into KDE coding for kubuntu"10:40
\shfdoving, I want a LTS release with a really nice working KDE desktop, with a working IMAP solution for Kmail e.g.10:41
fdovingmore resources to KDE.10:41
\shand not a crashing desktop every 5 minutes, which I can't fix, because IMAP is broken in kmail10:41
DaSkreechWhat do they call not finished/polished ?10:42
\shtaking the imap stack from sylpheed-claws-gtk2 and morphing it into kmail that's a task10:42
fdovingdon't think that will ever happen.10:42
\shfdoving, why not? what is the reason for it?10:43
\shKDE takes patches from saphari for konqui ... regarding html, why not reuse code from other projects, which is visible better then KDEs own implementation?10:44
