[05:42] makes me wonder [05:42] what does? [05:42] the fact that Kubuntu blueprints/specs are hidden from the public [05:42] for the UDS, that is [05:43] is an open development really out of fashion? [05:43] well they're not, I just put them in that pastebin :) [05:44] but as for why the sessions for UDS specs are being done in secret for now, I'm not honestly sure [05:45] canonoical management seems to think that's the best way for this cycle [05:45] Eh? [05:45] but specs can be registered on launchpad and there's plenty sessions open for them to be scheduled [05:46] mhb: i was wondering that too. [05:46] Are we crossing the line from sponsorship and leadership to control? [05:46] and obviously the specs themselves will be on the wiki [05:46] Riddell: that doesnt help us mere mortals look at the specs, and ponder them before UDS, does it? [05:46] Or am I missing something?

[06:04] i dont have uni that day - as i'm flying then [06:04] it'll give me something to contemplate [06:05] but i think a meeting would a be a great idea - get that speclist out of the private land, and then get people to explore what they want to see in gutsy, and what they're willing to do. or what their thoughts are [06:05] I agree with Hobbsee [06:06] Riddell: of course, the sooner that you shoot down the suspicion that the canonical employees have control, and access to info, which mere mortals dont have, the better. [06:06] w.r.t spec writing, and such [06:06] It's closed to only Canonical Employees? [06:07] or project members? [06:07] (if that's the case) [06:08] Riddell: it's not that us mere mortals really want to interfere - we more want to watch, and see hwo the process works, before we do anything with it [06:08] And throw gears in the circle! === mbiebl [n=michael@e180068242.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel [06:09] (and it decreases the barrier between the employees versus the mere mortals) === yuriy [n=yuriy@dhcp-129-64-153-72.dorm.brandeis.edu] has joined #kubuntu-devel [06:10] Riddell: to be honest, i dont feel terribly "in step" with what kubuntu's doing at the moment, so i'm not really the one to ask === Hobbsee [n=Hobbsee@ubuntu/member/hobbsee] has joined #kubuntu-devel [06:13] so, is anybody going to ask sabdfl about this new policy?

[06:22] kwwii: at least for Kubuntu [06:22] mhb: sorry, I misunderstood which policy you were talking about [06:22] kwwii: the one we talked about few minutes ago, the fact that UDS specs are being pondered in a canonical-only wiki [06:22] yuriy: ^^ [06:23] mhb: isn't that only temporary? aren't they going to be moved to LP/Ubuntu wiki before the conference anyways? or am i missing something? [06:24] the thing is, there are specs on LP already (I guess not for kubuntu though) [06:24] did anyone say explicitly that no specs should be put on LP by community members? [06:25] kwwii: no [06:25] mhb: also are those specs those registered by canonical employees? the rest of us can still register specs for discussion in LP right? [06:25] it's explicitly said that they should [06:25] so...it seems that it is more a matter of lazy community members (just a joke) [06:25] Riddell: to which? [06:25] kwwii: not really any yet https://beta.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-sevilla/+specs [06:26] Hobbsee: people should register specs for sevilla on launchpad if they want to run a session [06:26] abattoir: yes it's temporary [06:26] Riddell: that's probably due to the fact that everyone's been wondering where they are, but because none of teh others have been filed, they think it's in some mystery location which they cant get to. which appears to be correct...? [06:26] Hobbsee: could well be [06:26] ie, they assume that the procedure has changed, and that they havent been notified, so are waiting [06:27] that's what i've found, with numerous people asking around. [06:27] Riddell: is all the stuff you listed for discussion at UDS going to be drafted into specs when you all get there? [06:28] yuriy: no, the meduxa ones are just discussions, there's three adept ones which might only need one spec I'm not sure [06:28] but otherwise yes [06:28] these specs would already have various stuff on them, presumably? which are on the ubuntu wiki? [06:29] Hobbsee: which? [06:29] the kde ones that will be discussed [06:29] i guess my question was the same as Hobbsee and so that's a no? [06:31] I'm not sure I follow [06:31] the specs themselves will be written on the wiki at UDS [06:32] Riddell: you say "write specs on teh wiki" - but hwo many of htose are already doen, but are on the internal wiki. ie, will we be duplicating work? [06:32] bah. i must be getting tired, if my spelling's that bad [06:33] Gnight Hobbsee [06:33] cant go to bed yet - got an assignment due tomorrow [06:34] and work. somehow i'm on the supervising list again :P [06:34] Hobbsee: no, nothing has been written yet, it's just a list of session titles that's on the secret wiki (I pastebin'd the kubuntu ones earlier) [06:34] clearly i didnt scare off all my staff by saying "you cant go home until you finish serving all the people, and the store closes". :P [06:34] Riddell: right. [06:35] so you're planning to file them on that spec page, or they're filed and hidden, or what? [06:35] mhb: I'm happy to ask sabdfl at the openweek session later if you are uncomfortable doing so [06:35] Hobbsee: I expect they'll get put into launchpad yes [06:35] Riddell: I don't trust my english today [06:35] Riddell: so it would be nice of you === marseillai_ is now known as marseillai [06:36] sure === allee [n=ach@lapex-mcallee.mpe.mpg.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel [06:37] Riddell: thanks [06:37] Riddell: Slightly off topic.

I mean - people like me will be allowed to join the room (probably), but is it okay to talk? Or does it disturb the people really there? [06:43] join through voip [06:43] mhb: depends how good the connectoin is, and how it works. "we'll see" is usually the answer === Hobbsee makes a note to bring the headset [06:43] okay [06:44] it's not that I want to disturb much :o) just the kde4-guidance discussion affects me a bit, so I'd like to join [06:44] mhb: listening is no problem, assuming it works [06:44] mhb: sometimes we takl - depends what it is === Hobbsee has done tehm by talking, previously [06:45] talking if fine in theory, in practice it depends if the speaker and room is any good [06:45] but most of the time it's just a black hole of nothingness, for the non-attendees, if the room isnt good. [06:45] you can also poke us on irc [06:45] that's what i found, anyway === allee remember that talking never worked for him last year. Horrible echos === Hobbsee mumbles about designing accoustically decent rooms to begin with... === Hobbsee twitches === allee thinks echo reduction software/hardware is a must have [06:46] so we can listen live and then poke on IRC? [06:46] yes, lovely windows will bring a *great* sense of environment to your room. as will the glass ceiling. but it's not good for accoustic! [06:46] yuriy: yes. That what I did [06:46] yuriy: assuming the wifi works in the hotel :P [06:47] allee: did you get spads to help you? [06:47] Hobbsee: spads? [06:48] allee: canonical sysadmin guy, decent with all this stuff [06:48] they were doing registrations / testing for the VOIP last time [06:48] and announcing it thru the dev channels [06:48] Hobbsee: responsible admins tried to help. But the hardware was to lousy. It's not the echo of the room. [06:48] ah right, fair enough === Hobbsee recalls hating VOIP calls with a passion [06:49] allee: we should have traded. that way, i had a legit excuse not to speak, and you could have :P [06:49] Hobbsee: only solution would have been that everyone would use headphones. I did but not the guys at google [06:49] :) [06:49] true that [06:50] Hobbsee: no. you have to speak. Let's see how you kick people without a long stick :) [06:50] s/see/hear/ [06:50] allee: awww. but i'm immediately obvious, when i'm using the VOIP [06:50] in person it doesnt seem to be such a shock [06:52] any ghost users here? i just restored a kubuntu ghost image (on a dual-boot winxp laptop) only to have grub fail on reboot with an "error 15" message. i could use some guidance in remedying this situation. [06:52] i have asked for help in #kubuntu but no ghost users spoke up. i'm asking here because i'm hoping that someone may be able to give me very a very pointed suggestion (since i only have about 10 minutes to fix the problem or bail on it for two days - something i'd rather not do). [06:52] fwiw, i read thru the documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and followed the recovery procedure. unfortunately my situation doesn't map to the outlined steps. per step 4 on the above web page in the first section (Using the Desktop/LiveCD while preserving Windows Bootloader), when i type "find /boot/grub/stage1" the message returned is "Error 15: File not found" rather t [06:52] han something like "(hd0)" that the recovery instructions stated would be returned. === allee notes 'it's save to visit a session Hobbsee attends [06:52] again, any help would be greatly appreaciated. i'm hopping into the shower right now. when i get out i'll read any replies. peace, david [06:52] allee: heh [06:53] eep, large, unrelated paste in the middle of a conversation... === Hobbsee reads === neversfelde [n=neversfe@nrbg-4db44557.pool.einsundeins.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel [06:54] besonen_mobile: have you looked up the documentation on error 15: file not found, particularly on the gentoo sites? they're known to be very comprehensive for grub errors === Hobbsee wonders what the ghost image was - norton ghost or something? === Hobbsee decides to ignore the last couple of questions, as they involve horrible things.

[09:53] 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] * [09:53] mh, this sux. [09:53] 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-up [09:53] _Sime: yes [09:53] giangy: yes? [09:53] giangy: we are all days bottoms up, if that's what you're asking [09:54] Tm_T: kubuntu needs more grateful for the work done. [09:55] c'est bien lsb_release pour avoir le nom de la version d'ubuntu ? [09:55] (in my opinion) [09:55] oups sorry wrong chan :/ [09:56] giangy: I think we get lots of love [09:56] just from the bottom up :) [09:56] heh [09:58] (--: [09:58] Riddell: by the way, will there be any "polish and features compared to Ubuntu" discussion in UDS? [09:59] Riddell: see the giangy's message above [09:59] (I paste it from the Q&A session) [10:01] giangy: I understand that. Truth is that I keep hearing about the "not-so-polished" Kubuntu from more and more sides [10:02] mhb: me too === haggai [n=halls@credativ.bcnadsl.com] has joined #kubuntu-devel [10:07] kate crashes again :( [10:07] giangy: feedback from users is important. However, it is hard for the real developers ( i.e. not me :o) to decide what the users desire and what is noise [10:09] mhb: without doubts, but I don't like that Kubuntu is considered less important or "it lacks polish and features" than Gnome (Ubuntu) [10:10] it's subjective, imho [10:10] only this, mhb :-/ === aplg is now known as apachelogger [10:11] fdoving: if i put on my ftp my manslide package can you check it and tell me what you think about it? there's only one problem i've seen! i've remove a version dependency on imagemagick to be able to install it on feisty [10:12] giangy: 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 incorrect [10:13] mhb: I like the polish of Kubuntu so far [10:13] in terms of style [10:13] Personally, I like Kubuntu as it is. (I'm not a dev) [10:14] mhb: exactly, it's *really* abstract. [10:14] ScottK: me too (and I'm only a Kubuntu user) === \sh [n=shermann@server3.servereyes.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel [10:15] In many cases Ubuntu gets a new feature, there are lots of bugs and pain and then Kubuntu gets it next release and it's much less painful. This is not so bad. [10:16] ScottK: That's not polish. In that kase Kubuntu would be more polished [10:18] it's hard to say what "polish" really is - except for stuff that comes from Poland [10:19] Or kiwi [10:19] when it comes to "UI polish", I believe Kubuntu needs some more love [10:21] less clutter, more transitions between elements (logging out is a pain) [10:24] I really think there should be a discussion about which parts of the OS could and should be "polished" for Gutsy === mhb stops chatting with himself and goes to bed [10:26] I wouldn't mind having two cds .. a wild man one and the officail === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #kubuntu-devel === DHGE [n=alois@i577A9A8E.versanet.de] has left #kubuntu-devel ["Konversation] [10:32] kicker just crashed [10:33] The 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... [10:34] ScottK: Well.. yeah that's why we would have a wildman [10:35] have a KDE4/KDE3 crazy things CD [10:35] make sure it's kinda seen as a dev CD [10:35] Even when KDE4 ships and becomes Kubuntu default we can try things like Compositing or apps that didn't quite make the deadline on it [10:37] <\sh> problem of Kubuntu is still, less paid devs for UI and too many wishlists from Community. [10:37] <\sh> it's not a kde 3/4 problem..it's a problem of resources [10:38] Well yeah but we only really deal with KDE stuff [10:38] <\sh> and 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. [10:39] A lot of the other things we inherit [10:39] it's not like a payed developer or two could re-design kde from the ground up in a few months anyway. [10:40] let's wait for/hack kde4 :) [10:40] :-) [10:40] <\sh> fdoving, kde4 will be usable in 2 years time, just like kde3 in the beginning [10:40] \sh: so in the meantime let's redesign kde3? :) [10:40] <\sh> fdoving, and it has to do with "more resources into KDE coding for kubuntu" [10:41] <\sh> fdoving, I want a LTS release with a really nice working KDE desktop, with a working IMAP solution for Kmail e.g. [10:41] more resources to KDE. [10:41] <\sh> and not a crashing desktop every 5 minutes, which I can't fix, because IMAP is broken in kmail [10:42] What do they call not finished/polished ? [10:42] <\sh> taking the imap stack from sylpheed-claws-gtk2 and morphing it into kmail that's a task [10:42] don't think that will ever happen.

[10:44] <\sh> KDE takes patches from saphari for konqui ... regarding html, why not reuse code from other projects, which is visible better then KDEs own implementation?
