j1mchi all... in the about-ubuntu section, should that remain unmodified for all versions of ubuntu?02:33
j1mce.g., should it not say "kubuntu" for kubuntu, and just use ubuntu instead.02:34

Lizits been like that since the day before yesterday02:42
Lizand whats it say in the kubuntu about ubuntu section?02:42
j1mcthanks, Liz.  Kubuntu is kubuntu-specific.  I'll proceed with making ours specific to Xubuntu.02:46

Lizto anyone, is there an option to switch between desktop managers now? ie. if i install xubuntu, is there an option to switch between xubuntu and gnome?02:50
j1mcLiz, yes, you'd just select an xfce session when logging in at gdm.02:50
j1mcif you install the xubuntu-desktop metapackage on top of your ubuntu installation, you'd have both sets of applications, though.  (e.g., both gedit and mousepad, two basic text editors)02:51
Lizcool. installing now then02:51
Lizim not fussed with that02:52
j1mc:)02:52
Lizi use gedit the most anyway02:52
Lizive never used mousepad, but would be nice to have a play with that one too02:52
Lizrestart of x02:58

Lizooh..pretty03:01
j1mci like xfce, too.  it is a bit more lightweight than kde or gnome03:02
j1mca bit less functionality, though03:02
Lizits just a tad cleaner i guess to look at03:04
Lizbut everything can be customized normally03:05
Lizcant it?03:05
Lizive never used xcfe before03:05
j1mccustomized normally?03:05
j1mcit is freedesktop.org compliant, if that's what you mean.03:05
Lizi meant customized, normally. its not too bad. i think ill put kde on my sons machine.03:07

mdkempt: interesting, I'd like to hear more about your distributed version control idea. would it be possible for us to maintain a tree with Ubuntu's changes and keep merging any Gnome upstream changes that weren't incompatible with that?10:46
mdkempt: if so we could at least try an import of the Gnome docs to bzr and see if it works10:50
jjessewould we then switch to bzr from svn?10:51
mdkejjesse: if we were going to try using a distributed version control system for a Gnome branch, it would make sense to use bzr for that branch, certainly10:52
mdkeswitching the rest of the repo to bzr is a separate question, I think10:52
jjessecause i would love to move towards bzr in the ubuntu-docs section of things10:52
mdkeyes, I know you would10:52
mdkebut that's just cause of your preference for remembering your ssh password over your svn password10:53
mdke:)10:53
jjesse:)10:53
jjesseok you caught me10:53
jjesseacutally i'm enjoying bzr a lot10:54
mdkeif we move, we should move for the right reasons10:54
mdkewhen we arrange the next meeting, we'll talk about it. Matthew Revell is going to come along with one of his bzr cronies to help us discuss it10:54
jjesseoh cool, i'll have to make arragnements to come10:54
jjessei'm defintely interested10:54
jjessemy biggest question is what other ubuntu teams/projects use svn10:56
mdkehow do you mean?10:56
jjesseare we the only project that doesn't use bzr to manage code/packages to upload into ubuntu?10:57
mdkeI don't really know what you are getting at10:59
jjesselet me rephrase it: it seems like most packages that are uploaded into ubuntu are managed through bzr is that a correct thought or am i wrong?10:59
jjesseor tottaly thinking wrong?10:59
mdkesome are. Most aren't, afaik11:00
mdkebut I think there are plans to have the whole archive managed in bzr, I don't know much about it11:00
jjessei know there is talk to upload kde into bzr into launchpad or something like that11:04
