| ryanakca | what's the difference between libqt4-core-kdecopy and libqt4-core ? | 01:07 |
|---|---|---|
| jdong | ryanakca: IANAKD but one's specifically for KDe4 to build against, while the latter is for everything else | 01:18 |
| ryanakca | jdong: kk, thanks | 01:20 |
| toma | IANAKD? | 01:29 |
| jdong | not a KDE developer? | 01:29 |
| toma | ah | 01:29 |
| toma | IAAKD you are right, it contains some patches from kde for qt, some of which will be released in a next qt release, for the next alpha kde4 kde will depend on it, because of qt network problems for example. | 01:31 |
| toma | not only from kde but also from the trolls. | 01:32 |
| jdong | cool | 01:33 |

| nixternal | no problem | 02:09 |

| nixternal | Riddell: I got to drink an irn-bru today, definitely an acquired taste | 02:16 |
| ryanakca | nixternal: now that I think of it... the possibilities are endless for that notify script... you could have it process auth.log for invalid logins, monitor system ressources, etc, All from a remote desktop | 02:18 |
| nixternal | yup | 02:18 |
| nixternal | hopefully the dude on kde-apps will merge his split windows in with yakuake, so that I will be able to have quad terms in one yakuake window | 02:18 |
| ryanakca | cool | 02:19 |
| nixternal | since i changed the ports on my server, my ssh ports, nobody tries dictionary attacks anymore | 02:19 |
| ryanakca | nixternal: A couple of years ago... on the Fedora or Debian or Ubuntu (or any other distro I had been using), there had been to a link to HOWTO for a Transparent, borderless, scrollbarless, terminal, glued to your background... in KDE | 02:21 |
| ryanakca | any idea where I could find it? | 02:21 |

| Hobbsee | hi Riddell | 02:51 |
| === Hobbsee notes her education is sadly lacking | ||
| Riddell | it is? | 02:55 |
| === ScottK was listening to the "Sex Pistols" Anarchy in the UK with his children yesterday and thinking the same thing about them (no exposure to the classics). | ||
| Hobbsee | i must have missed ettiquite 225, involving how you should interrupt a boss who's speaking to a customer, or other person, to announce your presence. and how you should not go and start the evening's work without this interruption | 02:57 |
| Hobbsee | Riddell: ^ | 02:57 |
| _marseillais_ | Riddell, for ftpmonitor i've make change and repair what need to be repair (i think it's good now) and a motu is currently looking at it and for mplayerthumb i'll look at it right now and make changes this evening or tomorrow! | 02:57 |
| _marseillais_ | and thanks for your revu | 02:57 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: Wrong course. Is-sucks-to-work-for-the-man 101: Course lecture Rule 1: The boss is always right no matter what - Rule 2: If the boss is wrong, see rule 1. | 02:59 |
| Riddell | ScottK: were you doing the spec about opensync working everywhere? | 02:59 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: hah | 02:59 |
| ScottK | Riddell: No. Not me. | 02:59 |
| _marseillais_ | Riddell, i'll take a look for the conflict with libarts1-xine... but tell me if i'm wrong but mplayerthumb can be in main and include in official release and bring support for thumbnailing in kubuntu and konqueror. No? | 03:00 |
| Riddell | marseillai_: no, it depends on mplayer | 03:00 |
| Riddell | marseillai_: the conflict isn't a major issue, it's just nice not to have it if possible | 03:00 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: i was aware fo that. that applies to the big boss. | 03:01 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: Rule 3: Every boss thinks he's the big boss. | 03:02 |
| _marseillais_ | i'll take a look for conflict but if i remind well libarts1-xine and mplayerthumbs try to install the same file | 03:02 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: heh. this one routinely makes errors, (all people must be given 3 hour shifts minimum, not 1.5 hours, there should be enough registers out for all the staff you have rostered to work), and just plain illegal stuff that she tries to impose. | 03:03 |
| Hobbsee | so "just obeying" her is something i'm not going to do, in every circumstance :P | 03:03 |

| manchicken | I'm running a Free install of Kubuntu right now though. | 09:20 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: I'm very excited about Free Ubuntu for Gutsy though. | 09:21 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: As long as it comes in a KDE flavour I'll be happy. | 09:21 |
| DaSkreech | And it's not conflicting with Gnewsense in your head? | 09:21 |
| manchicken | Personally, I think we should just have Ubuntu-free and Kubuntu-free. | 09:21 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: gNewSense seems like a project conceived in self-righteous indignation. I'm leery of such things. | 09:22 |
| DaSkreech | Well... | 09:22 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: It was a "we're mad at X Y and Z for doing something we don't like, so we're going to prove we're better by doing this..." or so it seems to me. | 09:23 |
| DaSkreech | I'm more thinking about naolith pitching it and getting no help and after it's released and there is interest there is now suddenly a Ubuntu project doing the same thing | 09:23 |
| manchicken | I don't care whether I'm better than someone or not. I just want an environment where I get freedom. | 09:23 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: I think that's largely reactionary. Ubuntu is catching a lot of community flack for bundling non-free drivers (as they should) and they're trying to quiet the criticism it seems. | 09:24 |
| ScottK | manchicken: IIRC, restricted was always installed. It's just easier to get to now. | 09:24 |
| DaSkreech | So nearly freespire linspire ? | 09:24 |
| manchicken | It would be so easy for Ubuntu to have "Ubuntu" and then "Ubuntu with non-free drivers" | 09:25 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: Those projects care nothing of freedom. "Freespire" is focused on free as in beer, not as in speech. | 09:25 |
| ScottK | DaSkreech: freespire is talking about freedom like beer, not freedom. | 09:25 |
| DaSkreech | Two ISOs? | 09:25 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: Precisely. | 09:25 |
| DaSkreech | manchicken: Yeah i know but it's still reactionary | 09:25 |
| marseillai | Riddell: for mplayerthumb i have to keep the conflicts with libarts1-xine .... | 09:26 |
| DaSkreech | More to save face than being practical | 09:26 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: That way the default Ubuntu would have no non-free bundling, but there would be a non-free bundle for those who want it. | 09:26 |
| DaSkreech | manchicken: But two ISOs? | 09:26 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: Yeah. | 09:26 |
| DaSkreech | Hmm | 09:26 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: That would shut everybody up I think. | 09:26 |
| DaSkreech | I like the way they are doing it better | 09:27 |
| manchicken | I think that's the only way to shut it up. | 09:27 |
| manchicken | I don't even think gnubuntu will quiet the criticism. | 09:27 |
| DaSkreech | manchicken: you underestimate the voice of people who like the balance | 09:27 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: You either are free, or you are not free. There is no balance to be found. | 09:27 |
| ScottK | There are some who will never be happy until Ubuntu ships only 100% free. They want "freedom" by restricting other people's choices. | 09:28 |
| DaSkreech | manchicken: You miss my point :) | 09:28 |
| DaSkreech | emonkey-f: Hi | 09:28 |
| Riddell | marseillai: ok | 09:28 |
| manchicken | ScottK: If I had a choice of ISOs (one with and one without non-free drivers) then it would be a choice. | 09:28 |
| marseillai | i upload it soon | 09:29 |
| manchicken | ScottK: As it stands now, it isn't a choice. | 09:29 |
| ScottK | manchicken: Sure. If no non-free code runs on your system, does it really matter so much it takes up disk space? | 09:29 |
| manchicken | ScottK: Yes. | 09:29 |
| ScottK | manchicken: But why are you upset now, Ubuntu has always been that way. | 09:29 |
| ScottK | OK. | 09:29 |
| manchicken | ScottK: I'm not. | 09:29 |
| ScottK | Or so I'm told anyway... | 09:30 |
| manchicken | ScottK: I'm just unhappy with it. | 09:30 |
| manchicken | And I've always been unhappy with it. | 09:30 |
| ScottK | Fair enough. | 09:30 |
| manchicken | For me, it's easy enough to just purge linux-restricted-modules. | 09:30 |
| ScottK | Well it looks like sabdfl is trying to do the right thing for Gutsy to give another choice. | 09:30 |
| manchicken | But as it stands right now the critics are right. | 09:30 |
| manchicken | Another choice would be good. | 09:30 |
| DaSkreech | manchicken: you want to change the marketing though | 09:31 |
| manchicken | I think having "-free" (e.g. Kubuntu-free) would be better than GNUbuntu. | 09:31 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: How does marketing enter into this? | 09:31 |
| DaSkreech | It's being called GNUbuntu? | 09:31 |
| DaSkreech | You said you wanted Ubuntu and Ubuntu-non free | 09:32 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: According to a mailing list post I saw from Shuttleworth. | 09:32 |
| ScottK | Yes, but it's a chicken/egg problem. Linux can't get enough market share unless it "Just works" on lots of hardware and no one goes out of their way to support free drivers without market share. How do you get started. It's a hard problem. | 09:32 |
| Riddell | it's not gnubuntu, that's just a codename | 09:32 |
| DaSkreech | Where Ubuntu has always been non-free | 09:32 |
| manchicken | DaSkreech: I would like to see free be the default, and non-free be the outlier, but I'll take what I can get. | 09:32 |
| DaSkreech | so it would make more sense to have a Ubuntu-free | 09:32 |
| manchicken | ScottK: This I understand. | 09:32 |
| manchicken | ScottK: Which is why it's a discomfort for me, not an outrage :) | 09:32 |
| ScottK | OK. I can understand that. | 09:32 |
| manchicken | ScottK: But for those of us who do want a completely free ISO, it'd be nice to have one. | 09:33 |
| ScottK | Sure. | 09:33 |
| manchicken | ScottK: If I really thought Ubuntu was such a terrible thing, do you think I'd contribute or attend UDS? :P | 09:33 |
| === ScottK also thinks that those who care can purge easily enough. | ||
| ScottK | manchicken: Of course not. | 09:33 |
| === ScottK is trying to understand. | ||
| ScottK | Ask nixternal about people who used to be in the military. They tend to try and understand with a sharp stick. | 09:34 |
| manchicken | ScottK: I do think they're easy enough to purge. Much of this is just my frustration with asshats who like to think they're better than everybody else. I'd like to be able to give them a hand gesture and an "I told you so." | 09:34 |
| === ScottK would just say quit whining and write free drivers then. | ||
| DaSkreech | ScottK: Is it long and pointy ? | 09:34 |
| ScottK | No. That's somebody else entirely. | 09:35 |
| DaSkreech | It is? | 09:35 |
| ScottK | More like blunt, solid, and applied with great vigor. | 09:35 |
| DaSkreech | I blame nixternal! :) | 09:35 |
| manchicken | ScottK: I think the big point that folks keep missing is that it's not Ubuntu's fault that the drivers are non-free, and it's not Ubuntu's fault that the user bought the hardware. It's only Ubuntu's fault that they're trying to package a system that just works. | 09:35 |
| manchicken | ScottK: How much vigor? | 09:35 |
| ScottK | manchicken: Agree 100% | 09:35 |

| manchicken | Does XP work with IPP printers? | 11:01 |
| sb73542 | yes | 11:01 |
| manchicken | Is there any reason why you couldn't run the printer on cups and set the printer up with IPP inXP? | 11:02 |
| manchicken | (I know that doesn't solve the problem, but windows shares are flaky at best it seems) | 11:02 |
| sb73542 | yes... i suppose. i was just thinking from a new user's perspective IPP is pretty confusing | 11:02 |
| manchicken | And printer sharing isn't? | 11:02 |
| sb73542 | true true. | 11:02 |
| DaSkreech | yo | 11:03 |
