manchicken_Because I see way too much "try this command" in #kubuntu12:16
manchicken_The people we're trying to market Kubuntu to don't even know what a command is.12:17
DaSkreechyeah12:17
manchicken_And that's okay.12:17
manchicken_They can learn about more advanced features as they become more advanced users.12:17
DaSkreechIt's a good idea I'm not really knocking it's just that I acan see it growing to encompass a lot12:19
DaSkreech the first thing is to dump ubotu'12:19
DaSkreechs factods12:19
marseillaidoes anyone could tell me why i have this sort of things : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22989/ and why my debdiff makes 11Mo ?12:19
manchicken_OMG?!  Did I get it?!12:19
manchicken_Nope.12:19
manchicken_No such luck.12:20
manchicken_Hmm... that one was weird.12:20
manchicken_I think I got my KDE4 port of systemsettings working.12:20
manchicken_err, compiling12:21
manchicken_not working12:21

mhbmanchicken_: still alive?12:44
manchicken_Nope12:44
mhbmanchicken_: got something for ya12:44
manchicken_Sure12:44
mhbhttp://img177.imageshack.us/img177/6375/oneclickmockupoc3.png12:46
DaSkreechNeat :)12:47
mhbthat is what I had in mind12:47
mhbDaSkreech: thanks .o)12:48
manchicken_Not necessarily a bad idea.12:48
manchicken_Not exactly what I had in mind, but it works.12:48
manchicken_Can KJS actually access the filesystem and such/12:48
manchicken_That'd be neat.12:48
mhbmanchicken_: KJS?12:49
manchicken_The KDE JS engine12:49
mhbmanchicken_: what do you need that for?12:50
manchicken_In win32 what's the most popular way for making quick UIs?12:50
mhbmanchicken_: JS? No idea; never coded for windows.12:50
manchicken_Stick a IE control frame into your program and use HTML/VBScript12:50
manchicken_Many large applications are built off of nothing but web interfaces inside of GUI programs using IE controls.12:51
mhbcould be, but I dont think we need the same ugliness in Kubuntu :o)12:51
manchicken_Dreamweaver has quite a bit of that in there, Rhapsody, the help center, all of the popular antivirus UIs are done like that too.12:52
manchicken_Is that really all that ugly?12:52
manchicken_KXmlGuiWindow is essentially that.12:52
mhbmanchicken_: well, it is easy to code, but very ugly ... makes the user interface quite inconsistent12:53
mhbmanchicken_: and I am not sure it is the solution with the best performance12:54
mhbmanchicken_: still, if the folks on Windows like it, let them have it ... but for Kubuntu the best choice for rapid UI hacking is python, I believe12:54
manchicken_How is that any better?  heh12:55
mhbmanchicken_: well, the widgets are the same, to say the least12:55
=== mhb is getting too tired
mhbmanchicken_: I'd like to see your idea how the one-click should look like12:56
manchicken_I just think we make our interfaces a little to plain.12:56
manchicken_If you look at some of our most popular programs--amarok, k3b, digikam--you'll see that they're using very aesthetically pleasing UIs.12:57
mhbyou are talking about that mockup?12:58
mhbthat was 5 minutes with qt4 designer :o)12:58
manchicken_Well, I'm saying we're too simple in our design.12:58
mhbnot the final product12:58
manchicken_Yeah.12:58
manchicken_I would be opposed to a search box though.12:58
manchicken_By time we need a search box we've got too many scripts.12:58
mhbnot true12:58
manchicken_Remember, this needs to be a place for only the common problems.12:59
manchicken_Not the outliers.12:59
mhbdo you suggest that when people need to search the internet there is too much information in it? :o)12:59
manchicken_I do suggest that when you give a user a list of 50 problems to solve it is a bit overwhelming.12:59
mhbmanchicken_: search box saves time01:00
manchicken_A list of 10 is much less intimidating.01:00
manchicken_Not in a list of 10 :)01:00
mhbmanchicken_: even if there were 10 options01:00
manchicken_Naw.01:00
mhbmanchicken_: how much time do you need to read them all?01:00
mhbmanchicken_: and how much time do you need to write two words describing your problem?01:00
mhbmanchicken_: furthermore, search box could help you01:01
mhbmanchicken_: say you read the documentation01:01
mhbmanchicken_: you could write there "It might happen that adept refuses to unlock the database; in that case, try the <link>one-click solution</link>01:01
manchicken_Search boxes do three things I don't like: they complicate the code (I've been spending the whole day working on porting system settings' search bar), they take up space in the UI that I think would be better spent with more content, and they take focus away from what the user should be doing and put it on the user trying to find what they want to be doing.01:01
mhbhmm, I disagree01:02
mhbmanchicken_: google might, too01:02
manchicken_Google is completely different from a search in a GUI application.01:03
manchicken_Google is for searching for information on something.01:03
mhbalso, there has to be a reason why all major UIs and OSes migrate to search-based applications01:03
mhbMac OS X, Vista, KDE4...01:03
manchicken_We don't want the user searching for the solution.  This program should be providing the solution, not providing a means to search for the solution.01:03
manchicken_If we design the interface properly, a search bar is unnecessary I think.01:04
mhbwhich it does01:04
mhbso, you think 10 fixes is enough?01:04
manchicken_Yeah.01:04
manchicken_I do.01:04
mhband for all the others use the command line,01:04
mhb?01:04
mhbthat is a half-baked solution01:05
manchicken_No, for all others we'll need to reconsider this solution.01:05
mhbat least it sounds so for me01:05
manchicken_Let's name common problems in need of a solution.01:05
manchicken_You got gobby?01:05
mhbnot on this machine01:05
=== mhb installs
mhbbut I am not the perfect guy to discuss it with01:06
mhbbecause I have not done support for a loong time01:06
manchicken_No, but we can still talk and get ideas going :)01:06
mhbsure :o)01:07
mhbmanchicken_: gobby's here01:07
manchicken_I'm on gobby.ubuntu in Kubuntu One Click Fixes01:07
mhbam there01:08
manchicken_Groovy01:08
manchicken_Feel free to add to the list :)01:08
manchicken_Does it only have one cursor?01:09
manchicken_Weird.01:09
manchicken_That's a dark blue.  heh01:10
mhbeww01:10
mhbsorry01:10
manchicken_That's a good one01:10
manchicken_Can you think of any more/01:11
mhbonly of the useful, but not critical ones01:12
=== mhb thinks some more
manchicken_Yeah, in all my time in #kubuntu, those are the big ones01:12
=== _neversfelde [n=neversfe@nrbg-4db4473d.pool.einsundeins.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel
ryanakcasince nobody seems to have my magic answer in #ubuntu or google... ctrl:swapcaps switches caps lock with my left ctrl key. How do I make it swap with my right ctrl key?01:13
mhbmanchicken_: I can imagine an application hosting about a hundred of useful scripts, not just critical issues01:14
mhbmanchicken_: little daily workarounds01:14
mhbmanchicken_: I've got an example01:14
mhbmanchicken_: sometimes it happens with Kopete that it doesn't load all the nicknames from the server01:15
manchicken_Yeah.01:15
manchicken_I can see that, too.01:15
mhbmanchicken_: a scripty could do that, with one click01:15
mhbmanchicken_: but there are plenty of those01:15
mhbmanchicken_: that's why my UI was search-based01:15
manchicken_For this one click fixes I see this as being a one-click fix thing for times when things are really broken.01:15
manchicken_Maybe we could recycle this idea for a general toolbox, but I think the most important part is that we have a one-click fix spot for somewhat more serious and common problems, and that it be as simple and understandable as possible.01:16
manchicken_Let me see if I can pretend like I know how to use Qt Designer01:16
DaSkreechargh01:18
DaSkreechkate needs collab editing01:19
mhbmanchicken_: one more thing comes to my mind01:20
yuriymanchicken_: working on pretending that as well01:20
yuriyexcept that i froze it01:21
mhbmanchicken_: let's say there is a bug in Kubuntu that is not that serious, but still bothersome01:21
mhbmanchicken_: the patch will get delivered slowly, but we can make a quick bash workaround01:21
manchicken_Sure.01:21
mhbmanchicken_: so people can just "update" their one-click lists and run the script01:22
mhbjust a thought01:22
manchicken_Okay, I have a mockup01:25
manchicken_http://imagepaste.nulldigital.net/viewimage.php?id=22201:25
yuriyso where am i supposed to get the icons01:25
yuriysome resource file?01:25
manchicken_Very basic thus far, but yeah.01:25
manchicken_yuriy: I went to /usr/share/icons :)01:25
manchicken_mhb: I think icons help folks categorize things in their heads better, I think it helps separate each individual solution better, and I think it just makes the interface look better in general.01:26
manchicken_I would also argue that we use the most standardizable icons possible.01:27
yuriybut shouldn't there be some general (theme independent) way to specify an icon?01:27
manchicken_Like, for the adept solutions one we should use the same icon we use for add/remove programs01:27
manchicken_yuriy: I think you can get that from some kde config class.01:27
DaSkreechmanchicken_: what session?01:28
manchicken_DaSkreech: What?01:28
mhbmanchicken_: well, perhaps01:28
DaSkreechgobby01:28
DaSkreechthe host and name01:28
mhbmanchicken_: but I still like the "a lot of small scripts" idea more01:28
yuriymanchicken_: so not in qt4 then?01:28
manchicken_yuriy: http://englishbreakfastnetwork.org/apidocs/apidox-kde-4.0/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKIconLoader.html01:29
DaSkreechmanchicken_: or is that closed already?01:29
manchicken_DaSkreech: Use default session settings and Kubuntu One Click Fixes document01:29
mhbDaSkreech: Kubuntu One Click Fixes at gobby.ubuntu.com01:29
manchicken_mhb: I think that's a great idea, but I think it should be a separate thing.01:30
mhbmanchicken_: why so?01:30
yuriyalso, now i'm getting way ahead of myself, but is there a way to get a button on the toolbar that switches depending on the current state (connect/disconnect button)01:30
manchicken_mhb: I think the small collection of scripts thing is too confusing for people who only know that their internet is broken and that they need to fix it.01:30
manchicken_mhb: I also think we should use something like the iconic view for the larger collection of scripts thing.01:31
mhbmanchicken_: I think there is no script that could help you when you plugged out the cable :o)01:31
manchicken_Though for a larger collection of scripts I can definitely see the benefit of a search bar.01:31
manchicken_mhb: No, but if you're in a wifi cafe, your network was working, and it no longer is, sending a DBUS/DCOP message to knetworkmanager to reset the connection, or just resetting the network interface and renewing the DHCP lease would very likely fix it.01:32
manchicken_Or if your wireless router mysteriously restarted and you needed to get a new IP...01:33
manchicken_And maybe we could take this route into troubleshooting as well.01:33
manchicken_e.g. "I can't send mail" is the problem, and we do several things, include trying to telnet to their configured mail host on port 25, and report back if we can't talk on port 25.01:34
manchicken_I keep on seeing so much of this automated help going into things, and I don't see enough of it in Kubuntu.  Our documentation rocks, documentation is frustrating to swim in when you've got so many variables in play.01:35
mhbmanchicken_: for the network connection, I think knetworkmanager should have a "Restart" button01:35
manchicken_Yeah, but is your mother going to think about that?01:35
manchicken_The KNetworkManager icon says she's still connected.01:36
mhbwell01:36
manchicken_Mine wouldn't.01:36
=== claydoh [n=claydoh@66-252-57-12.dyn-adsl.midmaine.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
mhbI guess she should check the documentation, which could advise her01:36
manchicken_Mine would much rather go to the K menu, click "fix a problem" and then click "My internet isn't working"01:36
manchicken_Yeah, but that's coming from the point of view that folks should know these things before using computers.01:37
manchicken_I don't really care for that position :)01:37
mhbyeah, likely01:37
crimsunhmm, that means you'll need to build a lot of logic into said fixes, then01:37
crimsunit's worth investigating whether Ubuntu intends to do something similar01:37
manchicken_I think documentation should teach folks about how to more effectively use programs and make or extend new ones.  I don't think documentation should have to focus as much on problem solving if it is possible to have automated tasks that will get the job done quicker.01:38
yuriygah i think i broke gnome01:38
manchicken_On purpose?01:38
DaSkreechcrimsun: yeah but as long as it's being done within the Gnome interface we still need to rethink it for KDE01:38
mhbcrimsun: well they don't know about our idea yet01:38
yuriyno :D01:38
crimsunDaSkreech: that's my point.  Use a backend and a frontend.01:39
manchicken_I don't mind asking what they're doing, but I have a feeling I'll get much more of the "well they should know what they're doing already" mindset there.01:39
DaSkreechthe backend are scripts01:39
manchicken_DaSkreech: Something that would require user interaction will necessitate GUIs, not just simple scripts.01:39
crimsune.g., I'm writing pygtk and pyqt frontends for an asoundconf-based tool.01:39
manchicken_And since I hate python, I think Ruby is an excellent choice.01:40
manchicken_:)01:40
manchicken_Doesn't Ruby have good KDE bindings?01:40
mhbbad choice01:41
mhb:o)01:41
manchicken_I'd love to use Perl.01:41
manchicken_But the guy who maintained Qt.pm seems to have disappeared.01:41
yuriycrimsun: oh? awesome! (bug 31893)01:41
ubotuLaunchpad bug 31893 in kdebase "Multiple sound cards difficult to manage with asoundconf" [Medium,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/3189301:41
crimsunI don't argue too much.  The sabdfl likes Python, hence I may as well not beat my brains out.01:41
crimsunyuriy: yes, precisely.01:42
mhbmanchicken_: the idea needs to be expanded carefully01:42
manchicken_crimsun: If we always exercised that mentality we'd all be using VB universally by now ;)01:43
manchicken_mhb: Naw.  It needs to me kept simple.01:43
manchicken_The larger version of it, with the lots of scripts, may require more though, but I really think that as far as the one-click fix UI itself it should be kept as simple as possible.01:43
crimsunmanchicken_: Martin, Thomas, and I wrote asoundconf as a backend.  Whoever doesn't like pyqt or whatever can feel free to use whatever bindings (s)he feels.01:44
yuriyugh this is kind of annoying.. nuking all the . dirs didn't help01:45
mhbmanchicken_: I kind of think your approach is still a bit incorrect01:45
mhbmanchicken_: because my mother wouldn't be checking K menu for fixes unless she was told to01:46
mhb(and she can be as easily told to right click the knetworkmanager icon)01:46
manchicken_Unless she'd seen that choice there one of the thousands of times she'd opened the K menu in the past.01:46
mhbmanchicken_: you sure?01:47
manchicken_mhb: Why do folks know where to find add/remove programs?01:47
manchicken_Especially if we call it something like "fix common problems"01:48
mhbmanchicken_: hmm01:48
mhbmanchicken_: this might lead to the same fiasco as happened with Microsoft Help01:48
manchicken_What's that?01:49
mhbmanchicken_: people learned to ignore it because there never was anything helpful beside "Have you tried switching the computer on and off?"01:49
manchicken_I'm not talking about troubleshooting just yet.01:49
manchicken_I'm talking about buttons that fix the problem for you.01:49
mhbI know01:49
manchicken_"How do you fix this?"  "click A, and then B"01:49
mhbbut if they don't, will you try them again?01:50
manchicken_The reset button for knetworkmanager is also good... but I like having a central spot for this, too.01:50
manchicken_Well, that's the thing.01:50
manchicken_We'd need to have those scripts be as well constructed as possible.01:51
mhbseeing your mockup, I fear you are creating a bunch of wizards01:51
DaSkreechmanchicken_: so this isn't a Gib submission?01:51
mhbthe idea was "one click, that's all"01:52
manchicken_DaSkreech: This is an idea.01:52
DaSkreechOk01:52
DaSkreechis anyone on the Kubuntu One Fixes doc?01:52
manchicken_mhb: No.  I only see further GUI interaction as necessary when user input is needed.01:52
manchicken_I am.01:52
manchicken_12 would fall under #201:53
manchicken_13 is unnecessary.  I don't think this would be the place for compositing.01:53
mhbmanchicken_: and by user input you mean?01:53
mhbmanchicken_: "Was that helpful to you?" :D01:54
mhbmanchicken_: no, seriously01:54
manchicken_mhb: kdesu, if you had a "change your hostname" one (VERY BAD EXAMPLE), asking them what to change it to.01:54
=== stdin [i=stdin@unaffiliated/binary2k2] has joined #kubuntu-devel
mhbmanchicken_: if the user has to click through several dialogs, the UI is kind of bad01:54
manchicken_I agree.01:54
DaSkreechmanchicken_: not really01:54
mhband the mockup suggests that there will be additional window with details01:54
mhbplus the kdesu window - granting privileges01:55
manchicken_Ideally each one would only have one dialog... "Your fix has been run.  If your problem has not been resolved please email XXX@XXX with the file /tmp/XXX.log"01:55
DaSkreech12 would be wireless has never worked01:55
manchicken_Wireless never working is a much more complicated fix than this system could address.01:56
manchicken_Especially since there are so many different hardware configurations to choose from.01:56
mhbthe more I think of it, the more I start to dislike your suggestion01:56
manchicken_And then we'd have to distribute windows drivers for ndiswrapper, etc.01:56
manchicken_mhb: Why?01:56
mhba) before a release, you could never know what issues there are going to be01:57
mhbb) people might be angry when it doesn't help - and learn to ignore it, just like MS Help01:57
manchicken_Common issues will remain constant I think.01:57
manchicken_You're right there.01:57
mhbc) I prefer to see the computer work "out of the box", without necessary scripts01:57
mhbwhich relates to the network thing01:58
mhbmaking it more self-aware sounds better to me01:58
manchicken_mhb: These scripts aren't for out of the box use.  These scripts are for 6 weeks down the line when you've either done something stupid or something unexpected has happened.01:58
manchicken_Self-aware is a great idea.01:58
DaSkreechmanchicken_: that brings up my question :001:59
manchicken_Having networkmanager be smart enough to detect a problem and launch a troubleshooting system itself would be great.01:59
manchicken_DaSkreech: Timestamp in the future thing is interesting.  I don't see that one very much.01:59
DaSkreechIf one of the most prevailing issues is I can't get the network working and you need to download these scripts how does that help?01:59
DaSkreechmanchicken_: seen it a bunch in the past few weeks02:00
DaSkreechFor some reason today something keeps setting my clock in the future02:00
manchicken_DaSkreech: This proggy would be installed OOTB, but the problems would presumably not exist OOTB02:00
DaSkreechright now it's tomorrow according to my clock02:00
DaSkreechand I keep setting it back02:00
DaSkreechtill changing the clock killed my keyboard02:00
manchicken_Do you have a variable speed processor?02:00
DaSkreech I quit then02:00
DaSkreechyes02:00
manchicken_Those sometimes hose clocks IIRC.02:01
DaSkreechok02:01
manchicken_I know in virtualization you get weird problems with stepped procs.02:01
DaSkreechwhat script do I run to fix that? :)02:01
manchicken_DaSkreech: Don't know.  Never had to solve that problem.02:02

nixternali.e., I am taking this asp.net course, would I be able you think to do the course with Linux and Mono?04:44
imbrandondefinately, asp.net is the most well supported and 100% implmented features of mono04:44
nixternalHaving Mono (not the disease) is the reason I signed up for asp.net and c# this go round04:44

nixternalI can fool a couple into believing the Church of Emacs and St. Ignucious04:45
nixternalso far every instructor I have had has let me use Linux for everything..they know Windows goes against my philosophy :)04:45
Daskreechnixternal: What you should do is show them that a) mono is better documented and b) they can play aroundwith way more stuff get into way more theory for way less money04:46
nixternalDaskreech: first, I need to learn a bit about mono04:46
