DaveMorrisI got this comment on my blog - "the installer doesn't work for me as the mythbuntu site is down, anything I should do to fix this?" - how come it depends on mythbuntu.org?  I'm guessing they should do an instal without a network connection, but will it still setup network for once it's installed?10:49

lagai'd need "timeouts for dialogs" in zenity *now* and not in gnome 2.2002:45
lagasleep 5 | zenity --progress it is then02:54
laga*sigh*02:54
lagai extended mythtv-setup.sh a bit. now it'll ask you if you want to open the documentation on the second virtual desktop if you start mythtv-setup.03:51

lagahey superm107:04
lagasuperm1: http://www.pastebin.ca/654649 - what do you think about this patch?07:06
lagasuperm1: it'll open the mythtv docs when you start mythtv-setup07:07
superm1well it adds a dependency of firefox07:07
superm1so that would still need to be included07:07
lagait does not if you look closely07:08
lagaif neither firefox nor mythbrowser are installed it won't do anything07:08
lagait adds a dependency on wmctrl (until i can figure out a way to send it to the second virtual desktop on openbox itself)07:08
superm1windows + f2?07:09
lagabut wmctrl is not big07:09
superm1what does that do?07:09
lagasuperm1: it jumps to the second virtual deskto07:09
lagap07:09
superm1er nothing on my machine07:09
lagathe idea is to be able to switch between mythtv-setup and the docs easily07:09
superm1on both of my gnome desktops it appears to not do anything?07:09
lagasuperm1: that's an openbox keybindung07:09
lagas/bindung/binding/07:09
superm1well what if its not launched under openbox?07:09
lagai can test for that ;)07:10
superm1okay well one other worry07:10
superm1if the user opens it07:10
superm1then it will stay open07:10
superm1when mythtv-setup is closed07:10
lagatwo different cases. a) mythbuntu: user will log out ater some time, especially if he's logged in as an user other than mythtv to do maintenance07:11
lagab) ubuntu: user uses common sense and his mouse to close the window07:12
superm1well if its on a different virtual desktop07:18
superm1it can easily be overlooked07:18
superm1and the issue with use case 1, we're gonna switch over to everythign in normal user07:18
superm1after the control centre is done07:18
superm1and the control centre will be an option in the frontend07:18
lagamy two main concerns are: zenity does not yet support timeouts, that's why i'm using sleep 10 | zenity which will show a dialog window for 10 seconds.. but even if you abort, it'll wait 10s before starting the frontend07:20
lagalaunching a GTK app from mythfrontend? ugly, IMHO.07:20
lagaespecially because i cannot be controlled via lirc07:20
lagathat's why i'd keep the separate user07:20
superm1well this can later be ported to QT07:22
lagahow would that help? still no LIRC, still a desktop-ish look & feel07:22
superm1although i didn't write it that way that it would be easy, it would be doable07:22
superm1well perhaps that option in myth for the control centre can issue a logout command07:23
lagaunless we'd add a control centre handler to the lirc generation stuff07:23
superm1there is07:23
superm1for lirc generation07:23
lagai meant the other way around: generate a lircrc for use with irxevent to control the control centre07:23
lagawe could always use libmythui to write a control centre, but that's got PITA written all over it07:24
superm1http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmythbuntucontsb3.png07:24
superm1oh yea it would07:24
superm1well i was thinking07:24
superm1the control centre can query if VNC is running07:24
superm1and if not, launch it with the control centre07:24
lagathat would require an additional computer to be available07:25
superm1right07:25
superm1but really a lot of the things in the control centre atm would only work well with a mouse07:26
lagahrm07:27
lagahumpf07:27
lagalircmd?07:29
lagaLIRC mouse daemon - translates infrared signals into mouse events07:30
lagadcop support for the control centre?07:33
lagathere's a python-dcop package07:33
lagasuperm1: lircmd could be interesting.07:35
laga" I recommend that you use a special button to activate the mouse daemon with this command. You will see whenever the daemon is activated/deactivated directly on the screen. If you omit this command the daemon will always be active.07:36
laga"07:36
superm1Well mouse daemon?07:36
superm1how does that work well i wonder07:36
lagait's very hard to glue everything together properly07:36
superm1indeed07:38
superm1also i'd say that should be optional07:38
superm1to open the documentation07:38
superm1and if a kill signal can be sent to the web browser that was opened07:38
superm1when mythtv-setup.real is killed07:39
superm1it'd be feasible07:39
superm1i'll be back in a  bit though, i'm gonna eat some lunch07:39
lagait is optional to open the documentation. if you hit "abort" it's not opened07:39
lagai'll improve the script later, gotta run too07:40
lagathere is a problem with just killing the browser - firefox will open a new tab if there's already an instance running.07:52
