mhbhttp://bayimg.com/jaEMBaABf I am hopeless.04:04
mhbOn the other hand, I'd be happy to hear your feedback on that splash screen I just posted :o)04:05
bsundsrudsimple04:06
bsundsrudyet elegant04:06
bsundsrudmaybe add a kde/kubuntu logo over the bar?04:07
mhbbsundsrud: I wish I could :o) if you know the KDE's "simple" black and white splash screen, this is the same code with Kubuntu upslash colours added in it04:08
bsundsrudah04:09
bsundsruddid you use the kde4 packages or did you build it yourself?04:10
mhbbsundsrud: the printscreen was from kde3, but I usually build KDE4 myself04:11
nixternalmhb: honestly...04:11
bsundsrudon kubuntu?04:11
nixternalI absolutely love it :)04:11
nixternalI use the simple black & white one anyways04:11
bsundsrudi tried to follow the techbase page on setting up a kde4 environment but i never could seem to get it compiled...04:12

mhbnixternal: that's not "honestly" :-)04:13
mhbnixternal: I did use that black and white too, but I thought I'd add some Kubuntu colours to it04:13
mhbnixternal: the good thing is that the code is toolkit-independent, so it is one of the few ksplashes that work in KDE404:15
nixternalI remember looking for the code one day and gave up on it04:15
mhbbsundsrud: if you want to compile KDE4, switch to Gutsy Gibbon, you'll have the Qt4.3 libs built and the other stuff is easy (use the techbase tutorial)04:17

manchickenDo we know if anybody has been documenting libapt?04:25
mhbnixternal: if you want, you can check out http://mhb.ath.cx/tmp/ksplash-engine-simplecolours/ , add the folder into your kdebase-3.5.7/ksplashml/themeengine/ folder and try to compile it (I don't promise anything)04:28
mhbnixternal: what I can promise is that I'll try to clean the code a bit, add some more colours (10 should be enough) and then try and push it into Kubuntu Gutsy universe04:30
manchickenI'll see if I can get some warnings for when folks try to modify stuff with packages of required and important priority.04:32

mhbHobbsee: "simple" ksplash meets kubuntu usplash05:38
=== Hobbsee hasnt read backscroll yet
Hobbseeyep05:38
Hobbseethe usplash usually doesnt have the icons on it by that point, though05:38
mhbHobbsee: ah, you mean the desktop icons? They're there because I was testing the ksplash, not actually starting KDE.05:40
Hobbseeahhh.....05:41
Hobbseeyes05:41
Hobbseethat seems to be as simple is designed, actually05:42
Hobbseeto not actually have another background05:42
nixternalhowdy!05:44

nixternalhiya Hobbsee!05:44
mhbHobbsee: yes, not loading another background is one good aspect of it05:45
Hobbseeyep :)05:46
=== Hobbsee likes it
Hobbseealthough i thikn i'm using the moodlin one at the moment05:46
mhbHobbsee: which is the default one, right?05:47
Hobbseeunsure05:47
Hobbseeactually, i think we may have a kubuntu splash?05:47
nixternalya, and the Kubuntu splash is a moodin one, which I didn't know..05:48
mhbHobbsee: yes, but on a moodin engine05:48
Hobbseeah right05:49
mhbHobbsee: the moodin engine is quite the opposite of the "simple" engine :o) very customizable, but very complicated05:50

nixternalevery 2 years05:53
DaSkreechsweet05:53
mhbHobbsee: to be honest, I have never undestood why that KDE splash screen always prints messages like "setting interprocess communication"05:57
Hobbseeheh05:58
Hobbseetrue05:58
mhbHobbsee: I mean: who cares? :o) users care only if something bad happens (an that usually results in a error pop-up), developers know what's happening anyway05:58
DaSkreechmhb: User comfort05:58
DaSkreechIs it actually tied to anything in the background?05:59
Hobbseeunsure - maybe being able to see what is happening, if it's lagging?05:59
DaSkreechI just thought that all that stuff was just a pretty little bar that keeps running to keep users happy knowing something is happening05:59
mhbDaSkreech: true, but why write messages that are incomprehensible to the user?06:00
DaSkreechmhb: have you ever played the Sims?06:00
HobbseeDaSkreech: hehe, i know where you're going with this.06:00
Hobbseesims 2 has even better messages06:00

mhbHobbsee: I know those :o)06:01
Hobbseeoh yes ;)06:01
Hobbseemhb: did your sister ever play with the buyable fire, in multiple colours?06:01
DaSkreechmhb: Yeah if we wanted we could make the purposely over the top and throw pouring milk for the kitty in the middle06:01
DaSkreech I don't think it matters06:01
=== Hobbsee misses her purple fire.
mhbHobbsee: I've never paid much attention to the sims, I must admit06:02
Hobbseeawww, darn.06:02
=== Hobbsee always wondered how far the multiple colours of buyable fire spread.
DaSkreechI would guess within the visible spectrum?06:04
HobbseeDaSkreech: i meant across that community06:04

Hobbsee^ be the buyable fires.06:05
DaSkreechI wonder if Seven deadly sims is still around06:06
Hobbseeshould be.06:07
Hobbseefor sims 1, anyway06:07
Hobbseemaybe for ts206:07
Hobbseecreating for the sims is so hard anyway06:07
Hobbseethere's multiple tools, so you use about 5 in any creation06:07
Hobbseeand apart from that, they change the base level code during most of hte expansion packs, so the more objects and stuff you do, the more of them you have to fix.06:08
Hobbsee(seeing as they never actually released edith)06:08

ScottKWell I've upgraded to Gutsy now.  It at least feels faster to start with.02:31
Hobbseewoo!02:31
ScottKUpgrading from Feisty + KDE 3.5.7 to Gutsy I got a number of file conflicts - package kyyy tried to install file whatever, but whatever was installed by package kzzz.  Is this known/being worked are would a report be useful?02:33
Hobbseea bug report of them all would be useful.  please target it to tribe 402:33
ScottKOK.  I was afraid you were going to say that.  Good thing I took notes.02:34
Hobbseeas in, it's not feature freeze and such yet, so everything still moves around a bit02:34
Hobbseehehe02:34
Hobbseei know about the libkdepim file conflict02:34
Hobbseebut nothing else02:34
ScottKWhich package do I file the bug against, the conflictor or the conflictee?02:34
Hobbseekubuntu-meta will do02:35
ScottKOK.  WIll do.02:35
ScottKI verified the gnupg changes we did and they are good.02:36
Hobbsee\o/02:36
ScottKBTW, dunno if you noticed, but Kmail GPG and S/MIME by default were the only Gutsy changes in that section of the last UWN.02:37
Hobbseeyeah...we need to find some more02:38
Hobbseethe recent kde4 snapshot would be news, but we dont want people running it, and filing billiions of bugs02:38
ScottKI would encourage people to just go to the wiki page for the next UWN and add stuff.  That's how the Kmail stuff got in there.02:38
Hobbseesounds smart.02:39
Hobbseei would encourage you to post that to the mailing list :)02:39
ScottKOK.  I'll add that to my list.02:39
Hobbseeas in, kubuntu-meta i'll get bug reports about.  although any predone bugs will be under their respective packages, fo course02:39
ScottKSure.  I'll do my best on the packages.02:40
Hobbseecool :)02:42
ScottKHobbsee: For kdepim can all file conflicts go in that one bug or do you want one bug per conflict within kdepim?02:45
Hobbseeno, that one bug is great02:45
ScottKOK.02:45

=== birthdaylogger [n=me@N733P011.adsl.highway.telekom.at] has joined #kubuntu-devel

Hobbseegreat :)02:49
Hobbseewe do need to test this later anyway, so it's all good :)02:49
ScottKOK.  Bug #119664 is commented.  Kdepim was about 75% of the problem.  Off to do the rest.02:52

Hobbseeoh, not that one.  imeant the conflict one03:46

mhbScottK: that is my attempt at finding some information03:53
mhbScottK: the key that might help us fix this issue is that Edgy with pre-update repositories is not affected03:54

mhbScottK: yes, edgy without pre update repositories is affected03:55

DaSkreechRiddell: Was09:09
rbrunhuberRiddell : I think it is just "hot", so if you include the "only for developers" stance and maybe a link to the live cd it is worth a news on kubuntu.org. And at least it will stop annoying beings like me to ask you how to use it :-)09:10

manchickenRiddell: Do you know if there's anything fancy or non-standard about the OEM Dell's?09:26
rbrunhuberDaSkreech : It does not make ubuntu a better server than debian. I just have a ubuntu server running at home so I hope i can copy, shake and paste most of the config files. And why not try something new, everybody has a debian or suse server.09:26
manchickenI just ordered one.09:26

manchickenAll of the OEMs seem to be putting Intel wifi cards in.09:34
manchickenI'm excited :)09:35
rbrunhuberintel made a clever move (spent it's marketing bucks wisely) a lot of people want a centrino now. I think that's the reason why most oems plug those cards now.09:36
rbrunhuberpcs with the "sleeping heart sticker" = centrino sell a lot better than those without even if the latter machine is better for the same price.09:37
manchickenI think it's the pricepoint.09:38
manchickenIt's just a shame that Intel decided to give Free Software the finger, that's all.09:38
rbrunhubermanchicken : what?09:39
rbrunhubermanchicken : i thought the intel cards are the best supported now?!09:39
manchickenIntel snubbed Free Software hackers when it came time to write linux kernel drivers.09:39
manchickenIIRC, the support is in the form of proprietary drivers.09:40
manchickenWhich is not really support.09:40

rbrunhuberdon't know just had a real hard time with a rtl8187 and a ralink rt73 usb stick now09:42
manchickenScottK: True that.  It's a product-by-product issue, not a company-by-company issue.09:42
manchickenScottK: Even Microsoft releases Free Software ;)09:42
ScottKWell at least the part of Intel that does their video appears to really get it.  My desktop has embedded intel graphics and I've never had to install any proprietary video drivers.09:44
rbrunhuberBut they often opt to implement only have the functionality (see rotor ). They don't need blops because they just do not implement the interesting things :-)09:44
manchickenScottK: Yup.  I'm looking forward to my i945 as well.09:45

manchickenOh, you're talking about realtek?09:45
rbrunhubermanchicken : no i was just talking about microsoft.09:46
manchickenFrom what I understand, there are fully functional wireless cards requiring zero non-free software.09:46
manchickenrbrunhuber: Oh, no, Microsoft has some free software projects.  They just depend on non-free OS libraries.09:46
manchickenAnd require non-free IDEs to compile.09:47
rbrunhubermanchicken : i could not find a completly free supported wlan usb stick.09:47
manchickenrbrunhuber: USB sticks are a limited breed.09:47
manchickenrbrunhuber: I think PCMCIA has the best free software support.09:47
manchickenMaybe PCI, too.09:48
rbrunhuberThe coolest one was a rt73 on ubuntu feisty. It worked like the turbo button on my ancient 386 DX 40. If you plug it in the machine gets a real snail. If you plug it out again it dies.09:48

DaSkreechRiddell: ping10:15
manchickenrbrunhuber: I think anything that we do towards that end needs to be standardized against gnupg.10:15
erenkoTurkish channel #kubuntu-turkiye - Turkish web site : www.kubuntu-tr.org10:15

cyber_copmanchicken: thank you very much10:16
manchickenrbrunhuber: Most smart card implementations I've seen are pretty insecure.10:17
manchickenrbrunhuber: As many of them use weak encryption, or hold keys in memory.10:17
manchickenHolding keys in memory is bad.10:18
rbrunhubermanchicken : i've never looked in one in detail. But i think this should be fixable.10:18
manchickenrbrunhuber: If someone were to do a smartcard implementation well, I think it would actually be more along the lines of GnuPG with your secret key on a USB stick.10:19
manchickenBut then you need to make sure that you have that backed up and that you never let anybody borrow that stick.10:19
rbrunhubermanchicken : Everyone is cooking his own soup. Nobody which is recognised in the public seems to put energy in this. It would really cool if for instance Canonical/Ubuntu would push this.10:19
ScottKIIRC from looking at the source package, I think that some of the smart card support in gnupg2 is not compiled into the Ubuntu packages.10:20
rbrunhubermanchicken : As you said keys in memory are bad. In one case because the key might be readable in the other because the key might not be "readable"10:20
ScottKA first thing to look at would be to look at gnupg/gnupg2 and make sure we are using all of what we have already.10:21
rbrunhuberA lot of packages in ubuntu are missing smartcard support. also true for ssh-client.10:21
=== ScottK notes there are newer releases of both gnupg and gnupg2 than we have in Gutsy right now.
rbrunhuberLet's try this top-down. Let's assume no security problems, no arch problems, maybe not even hardware/software support problems.10:23
ScottKOn a more Kubuntu oriented note, someone might want to work on porting pinentry-qt from qt3 to qt4....10:23
rbrunhuberNo comes the setting: Imagine: You install *buntu. No comes the choice: Create regular user or create smartcard user.10:24
rbrunhuberif you opt for sc user a private/public key pair for your user to login is created. pam is configured to let you in with the key. the pub key is placed in the right folder ~/.ssh/authorized_keys or something.10:26
rbrunhuberI see this is getting to far. I just should try to write this down in a document and just publish it.10:28
rbrunhuberIf nobody wants to read it I rewrite a few pages and republish it as a sci-fi novel :-910:30

ScottKrbrunhuber: I was able to get changes made in the gnupg packages to support having Kmail PGP and S/MIME encryption, so I think you sould follow up on this idea and see what you can do.10:37
rbrunhuberScottK : I'm a bit afraid to get my fingers on such security related packages.10:37
ScottKrbrunhuber: Since you aren't core-deb you can't break anything.10:38
