nixternalRiddell: you gave me an idea with adding the stuff you did to the tribe 4 page. Would it be OK to add a "special thanks" section at the bottom to show off the people who work hard on bringing the Kubuntu releases to them?01:28
Riddellsounds great01:28
nixternalgroovy...I seen you give mention in there, so I figured it would be good to show off our stars as well :)01:28
mhbnixternal: arent we going to thank ourselves that way? :o)01:38
=== Riddell just read http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS6170488551.html
Riddella shame, but maybe it means I can go back to slagging off the guy :)01:41
mhbI thought ubuntu is using debian unstable packages01:43
nixternalwe are01:43
mhbnot experimental01:43
nixternalol' man Warren is somewhat clueless...a very cool guy though01:44
nixternallast I checked though, they didn't have developers really...I mean they literally took our packages, added some of their own, changed the artwork and did a :%s/Kubuntu/Mepis on everything01:45
Riddelland added w32codecs, that brings in most of their users I think01:51
Riddellmhb: this is the same person who thought it was ok for him not to ship source packages of GPL code01:52
pgquiles_Riddell: will this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/125325) be fixed in gutsy?01:53
Riddellbug 12532501:54
Riddellno bug not?01:54
Riddellno bug bot?01:54
mhbpgquiles_: nixternal might know, he's the man whom the bug is assigned to01:56
pgquiles_mhb: true, I hadn't read the nickname for the assignee01:58
pgquiles_nixternal: :-)01:58
Riddellit's part of our policy to have a blank desktop on startup01:59
Riddellbetter documentation in the release notes of course is welcome01:59
Riddellor wherever else01:59
Riddellin my opinion, better documentation in the winfoss app is important01:59
mhbRiddell: one small offtopic question: is the .org domain forced on Kubuntu by Canonical because it is a mainly community project?02:01
mhbcommunity project = for the community by (mostly) you & the community :o)02:02
pgquiles_when I was on the plane back from Glasgow I gave a KUbuntu CD to an old woman (about 65) who was sitting next to me02:02
pgquiles_she was fed up with viruses02:02
pgquiles_so I assumed a KUbuntu CD would be useful to her02:02
Riddellmhb: because it's a non commercial project (ubuntu only uses .com because someone else has the .org, kubuntu.com does work though)02:03
pgquiles_but later I realized she would be scared when she boots her PC with KUbuntu and wonder what the hell happenned to her files02:03
Riddellpgquiles_: the U in Kubuntu is lower case02:03
pgquiles_the blank desktop is scary for those people02:03
Riddellpgquiles_: I'd suspect that people who know how to boot off a CD, know it shouldn't touch their files02:03
pgquiles_Riddell: I think you are wrong. Pretty much every computer boots from CD if you put a CD on the tray and most people do not even know what a live CD is or how it works.02:04
=== nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #kubuntu-devel
pgquiles_I checked my hypothesis with my little sister and my girlfriend, btw02:05
Riddelltheir computers boot CDs by default?02:06
pgquiles_yes02:06
pgquiles_but even if their computers do not boot CDs by default, when people boot from CD and see a fully-useable operating system, they think Windows was automagically installed (meaning hard disk was formatted)02:07
mhbRiddell: I would say that from a marketing point of view, "kubuntu.com" sounds better than "kubuntu.org"02:08
nixternalOK, I seen something about a boog before I left to rejoin the new server02:08
pgquiles_that was actually my girlfriend's first reaction: "Kubuntu [lower case :-)]  installed without asking questions, what happenned to my stuff!?"02:08
nixternaland I lost all of my Bitlbee accounts...oops02:08
mhbRiddell: and I'd reckon that is the (current) reason for Ubuntu having a .com02:08
Riddellmhb: I diagree, and it's certainly not the reason for ubuntu using .com02:09
Riddellnixternal: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/12532502:09
nixternalahh, what about that now?02:10
Riddellpgquiles_: if we had a decent "about kubuntu" document, I suspect I'd be open to having a link to it on the desktop02:10
=== ubotu [n=ubotu@ubuntu/bot/ubotu] has joined #kubuntu-devel
nixternalRiddell: we used to do that with the Release Notes02:10
Riddellof course sabdfl might overrule :)02:10
Riddellwe did?02:10
mhbRiddell: what makes you disagree?02:10
nixternalya, we stopped it after Dapper iirc02:11
nixternalat least I thought we did...at least an icon on the desktop for a Readme/Release Notes02:11
Riddellmhb: large swathes of internal discussion on no-name-yet's wiki about whether they should still go with ubuntu even if the .org was unavailable02:11
nixternalthere is the link in the Ubiquity02:11
nixternalplus, those release notes do not get written until the very end02:11
nixternala couple of days prior to string freeze02:12
Riddellrelease notes aren't really what pgquiles_ is after, he wants a quick introdiction to what this kubuntu thing is doing02:12
pgquiles_exactly02:12
mhbRiddell: sure, you're probably right about that, but what makes you think a .org is as good-sounding as a .com for the corporate world?02:12
nixternalahh, so he wants something a little more than documentation then02:12
pgquiles_something that calms down a newbie which no longer sees her files on the desktop02:12
Riddellbut About Kubuntu has remained unloved since it was written02:13
nixternalor we can create a document that does such and create an icon on the live cd desktop02:13
nixternalI could whip that up pretty much tonight possibly02:13
pgquiles_actually I think the same kind document should be added to Ubuntu and Xubuntu02:13
Riddellmhb: it's not, but non commercial contributors will always be more important to us02:13
nixternalgood luck there, well Xubuntu would be game, but Ubuntu more than likely wouldn't...trying to get anything new doc wise is one heck of a fight02:14
nixternaland then getting it to open up on the LiveCD...might need an army for that one :)02:14
mhbRiddell: sure, but they are important in the Ubuntu world as well and I heard nobody about the .com :o)02:15
nixternalbut I am definitely game to writing a simple doc that would do this that we could put up on a LiveCD02:15
nixternalRiddell: could we just do something for the LiveCD only instead of doing documentation? that way there we don't have to keep packaging the docs for such a task02:15
Riddellnixternal: it should be a re-write of About Kubuntu in my opinion02:15
mhbRiddell: my problem is (and don't take me wrong), that Kubuntu is not generating as much profit as Canonical would like and therefore C. is not expanding the Kubuntu division02:16
Riddellnixternal: it should be proper docs, otherwise we won't get translations02:16
nixternalRiddell: I could re-work About Kubuntu for this no problem02:16
nixternalok02:16
nixternalhow about getting an icon on the desktop that would link to help:/kubuntu/about-kubuntu?02:16
nixternalfor the LiveCD that is?02:17
Riddellnixternal: but have two versions, normal and about-kubuntu-live which has a paragraph at the start saying "this is a live CD"02:17
Riddellthat's what we'd link to from the desktop02:17
nixternalOK02:17
nixternalI will start that here in a bit then02:17
nixternalI will get that done..do some doc updates, and have a package ready for you this weekend if that is cool?02:17
pgquiles_nixternal: great, thank you02:18
Riddellmhb: what makes you think Ubuntu is generating as much profit as Canonical would like? :)02:18
mhbRiddell: it also does not02:18
nixternalhehe, they aren't just yet..that is why sabdfl is out pimping his arse off right now02:18
mhbRiddell: but I know that Kubuntu is generating way less than Ubuntu02:18
mhbRiddell: and I'd like to change that, because I want Canonical to stay interested in KDE02:19
Riddelldepends on how you add it up, most people with money are interested in server and mobile02:19
=== jack_wyt [n=jack@124.64.105.55] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Riddellwe have rollouts in georgia, canary islands, french parliament, I don't know of equivalent ubuntu rollouts although I guess there are some02:20
nixternalbooyah!02:20
nixternalyou beat me to it02:20
=== Tm_T beats nixternal
nixternalRiddell: haha, and remember them trying to say Ubuntu in the Fridge article? :)02:20
Tm_Tyou are beaten02:20
RiddellI even get recognised in the street by people saying "you do kubuntu, we use that", I've never had that for ubuntu :)02:21
nixternalI am always beaten02:21
mhbRiddell: all true, yet still, there is one great Kubuntu dev who has to do all the stuff from release management to packaging to coding02:21
Tm_TRiddell <302:21
=== Tm_T hides
nixternalI get recognized in the streets too, but then I have to run in order to avoid getting beat up :)02:21
mhbRiddell: and Ubuntu has many of (not as) great devs in many areas, so there's several folks who do release management, some who do feature coding, some do technical board...02:22
mhb(they're great guys, I was just kidding :o)02:22
Riddell:)02:22
Riddellthey do put more resources into Ubuntu Gnome of course, but they don't have the money to put the same resources into two desktops so they picked one and had pretty good reasons to do so02:24
nixternalmhb: hahaha, "not as" that was good! plus we all get paid to work on Kubuntu don't we? Or have I been waiting for the check Riddell sent me to finally get here? I was wondering why I haven't gotten it in the past year. I was starting to think he paid someone to swim it to Chicago :)02:24
Riddellactually mhb does get paid to work on Kubuntu :)02:24
=== Tm_T is well paid
nixternaloh wait, I got a cookie the other day, so that makes me a paid dev right? :D02:24
Tm_Tnixternal: yes02:24
Tm_TI'm also paid developer, by social service02:25
nixternalhaha, I am going to use that in my KDE 4 talk on Saturday02:25
Riddellas does tonio and in theory imbrandon.  I don't know of any ubuntu equivalents to them02:25
nixternalI will have my name up there, and then "Paid Kubuntu Developer"...then at the end, I will show my payment..a Kubuntu cookie!02:25
Tm_Tnixternal: (:02:26
Riddellnixternal: there will be lots of free cookies at UDS I'm sure02:26
mhbI am aware that we are a pretty good distro and I am also aware that Ubuntu had to pick one ... but if we (the community) manage to sell some more support for Kubuntu, Canonical would invest more into Kubuntu02:26
nixternalmmm cookies02:26
nixternal   pretty good? heck we are the bestest..but I get your point, and it makes sense to me as well...with that, did the French Parliament and others get a support contract at all with Canonical on those rollouts?02:28
Riddelldunno, would need to ask tonio02:28
nixternaland truthfully, most of the Ubuntu support is for the server isn't it? and not so much a GUI'fied release?02:28
Riddellyes, almost all except google02:29
nixternalOK, I didn't want to call out names :)02:29
nixternalya, Google has a large contract, but that is a mixture of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu02:29
nixternalthe Chicago Engineering office is all Kubuntu02:29
Riddellit is yes02:29
Riddellcool!02:29
Riddellhow do you know?02:30
nixternalthey are a small group02:30
nixternalBen Sussman, the King of SVN02:30
nixternalwe hang out with them guys all of the time02:30
Tm_Tso that's how they got forced to use Kubuntu...02:30
nixternalBen and his gang show up to all of our events02:30
nixternalwell, truthfully, if you ever check out a LUG event in Chicago, you will see Foresight and Xubuntu02:30
nixternalXubuntu is probably on a majority of the machines02:31
Tm_T"Chicago Kubuntu mafia strikes again, use it, or die without it..."02:31
nixternalyou know it...there are a few of us holding down the KDE scene02:31
nixternalwe had power behind manchicken|away, but he decided to head south a couple of hours02:31
mhbby the way, did anyone notice my very silly proposal about the quicklauncher icons?02:31
mhbactually it was a bugreport, because I wanted to get it INVALID once and for all :o)02:32
Riddellmhb: yes, briefly, I've not read all the way through it yet02:33
RiddellI'm not convinced its a real problem02:33
Riddellalthough it's something I hadn't considered at all until I read the bug report02:33
mhbRiddell: I'm not convinced either, but I think a "tray icon" concept is quite complicated for a newcomer to computers and we shouldn't make it harder for them02:35
mhbRiddell: it's not really a grave problem, and if I'll see that I'm the only one seeing a potential bug here, I'll be happy to invalid it02:39
RiddellI'll read it properly when I get a moment02:39
Riddellbut not tonight, I'm done testing CDs and off to bed02:39
mhbgoodnight02:39
Riddellremember: you too can test tribe 4 candidate CDs! https://iso.qa.stgraber.org02:39
mhbI'll check my FUP quota02:39
mhb(if I download too much, they cut my bandwidth)02:40
Riddellrsync is your friend02:40
mhbindeed, but won't the iso structure change completely after multiple changes (like tribe3 -> tribe4) ?02:41
Riddellguess so02:42
mhbthank you.02:46

nixternalhehe07:36
robotgeeknixternal: are we following 80 columns width? (my vim settings have foobared!)07:45

robotgeeknixternal: how do i get kate to wrap to 80 columns?07:48
nixternallet me check07:49
nixternalunder settings, goto editing07:49
nixternalenable static word wrap, set it to 8007:49
robotgeekokay, i get a bar. which is good.07:49
nixternalI add the marker as well. that way I know where abouts I am all of the time07:49
robotgeekit doesn't autoformat?07:50
robotgeekokay, it was just a small para, so i did it manually!07:50
robotgeekthanks anyways07:50
nixternalI thought it did07:51
nixternalguess not07:51
robotgeeki had already typed it up, i can't give up vim's nice xml thingies07:51
robotgeekit adds the closing tag automatically07:51
nixternalya, if I am doing small edits, I use Vim or Emacs07:52
nixternalwhatever my fingers feel like typing really07:52
robotgeekokay, figured out how to do it in vim :)07:53

nixternalme either...I was going to say that, but wasn't 100% sure about it08:15
robotgeekdoes it handle the flash thingie, cause something installed it automatically for me :)08:15

mhbDoes anyone know whether Fedora had made any Fast User Switching applets for KDE?05:54
nixternalmhb: I didn't notice any...their KDE is nothing more than KDE with the same icons from Red Hat in the 90's...I was upset they talked it up so much and I feel didn't do KDE justice05:55
nixternalI was hoping for something better from them05:55
nixternalI wonder when Fedora in general will wake up and realize they are not Red Hat and their icons are oogly :)05:55
nixternalit is quite fast though, just doesn't feel user friendly that much to me05:56
mhbnixternal: have they created the ISO spin yet?05:56
nixternalthe next KDE implementation I can't wait to see is Foresight05:56
nixternalmhb: they did have a LiveCD for KDE at one time, err DVD that is05:56
mhbnixternal: I wanted to test fedora 7 the other day, but there was not even a simple way to download a KDE install iso05:57

DaSkreechDeskbar?06:14
DaSkreechIsn't that like Katapult?06:14
mhbDaSkreech: it looks like spotlight to me06:14
DaSkreechWell with Multiple hits06:15
DaSkreech katapult still needs to get that sorted06:15
mhbDaSkreech: I don't use katapult because when I input "Firefox" it offers me "Firefox news" bookmark06:15
mhbDaSkreech: which is what spotlight seems to avoid, and deskbar applet too06:15
DaSkreechmhb: I used to type web since that brought up Firefox web browser06:16
DaSkreechmhb: apparently you can type any unique section06:16
DaSkreechSaves loads of time with OO.o apps06:16
DaSkreechbut eventually I just turned off the bookmarks plugin since I have never and probably will never call a bookmark from katapult06:17

DaSkreechmhb: Hopefully not06:28
mhbDaSkreech: I am afraid it will be.06:28
DaSkreechKrunner can maybe replace some of the things that katpult is currently doing but katapult can be made to be much more :)06:28
DaSkreechmhb: Probably for casual users06:28
mhbDaSkreech: which could mean disabling it in Kubuntu in the end06:30

DaSkreechYeah06:30
