DaSkreechDoes libstlport4.2 supercede 5?01:45
mhbhi Jucato01:45
DaSkreechI ran through the upgrade process again and it told me to remove libstlport501:48
DaSkreechI have libstlport4.6c2 installed which seems strange01:48
=== jack_wyt_ is now known as jack_wyt
DaSkreechFroze again02:29
Jucato:(02:30
nosrednaekimhow is the release going?02:32
Jucatothe usual problems. but ok I guess :)02:32
nosrednaekimany bad upgrade problems?02:32
* nosrednaekim remember dapper->edgy02:33
Jucatoah not as bad as dapper -> edgy or even edgy -> feisty02:33
nosrednaekimthats good!02:34
Jucatomost of the problems so far are "not following instructions" and "hammered servers"02:34
DaSkreechYeah I've had like 4 valid I got screwed02:34
DaSkreechOh and MSN doesn't work02:34
Jucatokopete + msn? known bug02:34
DaSkreechJucato: if things get hectic in #k poke me and I'll come help out02:35
Jucatore: Riddell's blog02:35
nosrednaekimJucato: they really ought to bit-torrent the commonly used files.02:35
DaSkreechJucato: I know and still having a version upgrade after the upgrade is done02:35
JucatoDaSkreech: it's mostly over now... people are either sleeping while upgrading or waiting for the flood to die down02:35
DaSkreechnosrednaekim: To apt ?02:35
nosrednaekimDaSkreech: just put them in the apt cache02:35
Jucatoyou weren't here last night (my time) to help stdin :P02:35
DaSkreechnosrednaekim: I don't get it Torrent the common files?02:36
DaSkreechJucato: I'm sick I woke late02:36
Jucatoaw.. get well :)02:36
Jucatowe're all sick it seems02:36
DaSkreechI have people from work calling me to do things on servers and instead of resting or doing what I'm being paid to do I've been in #k all day helping out02:37
DaSkreechI logged out after the second power cut and freeze so that I can get somethings done :)02:37
DaSkreechBut if needed I'll be there02:37
DaSkreechAs long as this kernel doesn't freeze again02:37
nosrednaekimyeah.... torrent all off the .debs, or maybe a torrent a tar of the main ones.02:37
DaSkreechI gotta stop checking the time02:37
nosrednaekimIDK, maybe i'm just crazy. =)02:38
jjesseevening02:39
jjessecongrats on the relase :)02:39
DaSkreechnosrednaekim: No I thought of it already but the problem is most files are small02:39
Jucatoevenign jjesse02:39
Jucatobetter connection tonight? :)02:39
DaSkreechIt makes it highly backwards and drops availabilty02:39
jjesseso far02:39
nosrednaekimwhat if you tar up all the common ones?02:39
jjessemorning Jucato02:39
nosrednaekimah ok..02:39
DaSkreech torrent works for large files and files that are always demanded02:39
* nosrednaekim doesn't understand torrenting very well02:39
Jucatonosrednaekim: you'll have to consider security first and foremost right?02:39
DaSkreechHi jjesse02:40
nosrednaekimJucato: of course..02:40
nosrednaekimbut there HAS to be a way to do it with BT...02:40
Jucatounfortunately, that's not very good for packages02:40
DaSkreechJucato: torrent has security built in once you trust the original file02:40
Jucatomultiply by dozens and dozens of packages?02:40
Jucatounless you all put them in one single file02:40
Jucatobut you'll still have to check, with md5sum or something02:41
DaSkreechone file would be good but then that tears apart the usefulness of apt itself02:41
nosrednaekimDaSkreech: but aren't they all getting the same basic packages? the dependencies of "kubuntu-desktop"02:41
DaSkreechnosrednaekim: Yeah but you either give them the whole folder for /var/cache/apt/archive or torrents for each file02:42
DaSkreechnosrednaekim: Neither is a nice solution02:42
jjessehmm everyone enjoying the new release?02:45
nosrednaekimDaSkreech: why isn't the former a nice solution besides security problems? i'm not arguing with you.. just trying to understand02:45
jjessewow internet connection just slowed down02:45
DaSkreechjjesse: Other than psuedo-random freezes02:46
jjesseDaSkreech: i'm still having problems w/ konqi (see posts to kubuntu-devel)02:47
DaSkreechnosrednaekim: cause they would have to get all the packages02:47
DaSkreechjjesse: the Drake?02:47
jjesseDaSkreech: on the gibbon02:47
DaSkreechjjesse: no you have problems with the drake?02:48
jjesseyes browsing through konqi02:48
DaSkreechkonqui :)02:49
DaSkreechKonqi is the KDE mascot02:49
jjessesorry yes konqui02:49
jjessewhatever02:49
DaSkreech:-)02:49
Jucatokonqi is also the familiar name of konqueror02:49
DaSkreechnixternal: Still hate rosetta?02:50
DaSkreechI've always seen it spelt konqui :)02:50
Jucatoa rose by any other name :)02:50
jjessewow anyone notice us.archive.ubuntu.com is super slow02:53
Jucatodunno.. I don't use that :P02:53
nosrednaekimjjesse: lol, I made the mistake of using that this morning02:54
nosrednaekimI forgot to switch mirrors to good old columbia02:54
Jucatooh gawd!! spent 2 of my waking hours already in user support! I'm never gonna get anything done :(02:54
jjessewow that sucks02:55
nosrednaekimheh..02:56
DaSkreechJucato: Yeah from 10:45 till about an hour ago for me03:01
jjessewow archive.us.ubuntu.com is timing out for me :(03:15
Jucatotime to move :)03:15
DaSkreechjjesse: It was giving out bad GPG keys earlier03:18
DaSkreech so upgrades kept failing cause they couldn't trust the server03:18
DaSkreechThat was shortly before it started giving bad packages to the upgrade would bork 1/2 way through install03:18

jjesseintersting adept tells me there is a new version availa ble04:45

jjesseyeah it is nice, i'm looking forward to the next release of windows server which is going to include a hypervisor04:46
jjessehmmm now i'm downloading the upgrade tool from archive.ubuntu.com04:46

manchicken_It all depends on X support.04:49
DaSkreechHow does the BPX work?04:49
manchicken_My old ATI card wouldn't let me do anything with the external output (on a laptop).04:50
jjessewill have to try it, been booting into vista to teach all week on the project due to not being able to get feisty to see the projector04:50
manchicken_It may just be plug and play.04:50
manchicken_I know my system76 just starts right up on the external port.04:50

Tonio_Riddell: talking about adept integration, the kio-apt already has an install mecanism, but using pkginstaller, I'm just playing with the code to make it to use adept-batch as a first step07:35
Tonio_Riddell: of course I'll have a look at the spec and discuss with mvo07:36
Tonio_I'm just currently experimenting this to learn about the code and what is possible to do with it at it's current state07:36
WaltzingAlongits07:37
DaSkreechGood night everyone!08:29
larsiviHeya, adept told me there was a new kubuntu version, but considering I've been using only gutsy (since tribe 5 or so), that shouldn't happen?08:29
DaSkreechknown bug08:29
larsiviand how do I start the deb frontend? :Pok08:30
larsiviheh08:30
larsiviok08:30
WaltzingAlonglarsivi: i see that too.08:30
Hobbseenixternal: nice08:35
larsivihmm, I expected the deb frontend to be a more normal app, not something I used on a right click08:36
larsivioh, and why do I have to go through the Actions submenu? it is not very intuitive08:37
nixternalargh, jambi no worky worky08:50

_StefanS_cant wait to work on the next version hehe09:56
Tonio_yup :)09:56

_StefanS_Tonio_: those bugfixes are meant for heron, right ? :)09:57
_StefanS_YOP09:57
Tonio_yep09:57
_StefanS_yop09:57
Tonio__StefanS_: well I also wait for something more "mature" to release a tarball for kdesudo09:57
_StefanS_right, I havent looked at it yet, but I noticed that java apps are also having that bouncing cursor for 30 seconds09:58
_StefanS_but I guess thats because they dont signal anything to kde..09:58
_StefanS_YIP09:58
* _StefanS_ is in a good mood today. New hardware is arriving.09:59
Tonio__StefanS_: that's the point yes09:59
Tonio__StefanS_: and also there is that icon+name missing thing09:59
_StefanS_hey Lure09:59
_StefanS_Tonio_: sure, I think I know how to fix that one..09:59
Tonio__StefanS_: that would be super :)10:00
Tonio__StefanS_: both bugs fixed and we can release the tarball10:00
_StefanS_where do you want to the release the tarball ? kde-apps?10:01
_StefanS_Tonio_: ^10:05
marseillai_hi10:13
marseillai_i got a problem with kubuntu. Since many month now my computer become irresponsive if I let it turn on without using it during several hours. Xorg hangs the cpu a 100%, the mouse can move, some keyboard shortcut works (amarok play/pause works) the screen continue to refresh but i can't bo anything else and i have to reboot.10:17
marseillai_this bug start to really annoy me10:17
marseillai_and i don't know where to find the reason of it (wich log)10:18
marseillai_because nothing crash10:18
Hobbseemarseillai_: is amarok running?10:18
marseillai_yes10:19
marseillai_you think it's him .?10:19
Hobbseeit's that.  kill amarok whenever that happens, or log out of kde10:19
Hobbseealthough i'm not sure how amarok play/pause works like that10:19
marseillai_Hobbsee: the problem is that i don't have anything to kill something or log off (even ctrl alt backspace don't work)10:19
Hobbseeit's a bug where xine goes into an infinite loop, and thrashes.10:19
Hobbseei thought xkill was on a menu.  or did i add it...10:20
Hobbseeoh, maybe it's a different bug.10:20
marseillai_anyway i'll try to see if closing amarok before leaving my computer alone for the night resolve it10:20
Tonio__StefanS_: yes, probably kde-apps10:23
_StefanS_ok10:24
Tonio__StefanS_: hehe, I am now able to install and remove packages with kio-apt ;)10:26
Tonio_super :)10:26

Tonio__StefanS_: second step is a nice html code11:19
Tonio__StefanS_: third step is making it compatible with the apt:/ from ubuntu11:19
Tonio__StefanS_: we have time so I'm sure it'll be done at time11:20
_StefanS_Tonio_: removal works, but the page doesnt refresh after removal11:20
_StefanS_Tonio_: had to do that manually11:20
Tonio__StefanS_: that's what I said :)11:20
_StefanS_ah :D11:20

Tonio__StefanS_: I can do the redirection, but I have a problem with when to do it12:52
Tonio__StefanS_: how to perform after a process launched in a kshellprocess has ended ?12:52
_StefanS_dont you get a handle of some sort12:52
Tonio_my redirection just goes immediatly after adept is started12:52
Tonio__StefanS_: no idea :)12:52
_StefanS_it spawns it in a new thread12:53
Tonio_p->start( KProcess::NotifyOnExit, KProcess::All );12:53
Tonio_that's what I use to start adept12:53
Tonio_and then I use this : redirection(url);12:53
Tonio_to redirect12:53
_StefanS_gotta look it up in the api12:53
Tonio_that I can do I guess12:53
_StefanS_is it kshellprocess or kprocess ?12:54

_StefanS_Tonio_: isnt that exactly what it does?13:18

Jucatohm.. there are reports about being notified Upgrade Version even when in Gutsy? I know it's probably harmless, but is it normal or a bug?13:26
nosrednaekimJucato: from what I have seen, its because the upgrade never registered as being "complete" but all the packages were installed(or maybe not all, but the rest can be later installed), so the user reboots and it still thinks there is an upgrade13:32
nosrednaekimand of course, you can't upgrade very easily from gutsy, so it never goes away13:32
buzi wondering about those kde4 beta3 packages. for some reason, most plasma applets cant be loaded13:34
buzwhich essentially renders kde4 unusable13:34
nosrednaekimbuz: noticed that....13:34
buzso it's not just me13:35
nosrednaekimpanel doesn't work for me wither13:35
buzexactly13:35
Jucatomost of the plasmoids are not inside any of the main kde modules (either in playground or extragear)13:35
buzmaybe because plasma-playground is so old? 0.0svn20070907-0ubuntu313:35
Jucatoplayground isn't packages afaik...13:35
buzyes but it lives in the repo and obviously, people figure it could be useful ;)13:36
Jucatowhich repo?13:36
buzwell i guess not in main13:36
buzbut at the current state, it's pretty much useless for testing kde413:37
Jucatojust because it's in SVN doesn't mean it's automatically in or would be in our repos :)13:37
buzit is in the repos13:37
buzlemme see in which13:37
buzuniverse13:38
Jucatoah I see. plasma-playground13:38
buzyes13:38
buz(says so above ;)13:38
Jucatohm.. that would be weird then...13:38
buzi'm guessing updating this might help13:38
Jucatoif there are updates.13:39
buzwell according to planetkde, there are 400 commits per day13:39
buzso there are bound to be a few ;)13:39
buzmaybe i should try compiling plasma myself ;)13:39
JucatoI meant kubuntu package updats13:40
Jucatoupdates*13:40
buzoh no there obviously arent any of those ;)13:40
Jucato:D13:40
* Jucato hasn't had any luck with Kubuntu KDE4 packages... always compiled13:40
buzhow much time/space are we talking about for a full kde4 build13:41
Jucatolast time I tried? qt-copy + kdesupport + kdelibs + kdepimlibs + kdebase = ~5 hours13:42
buzdo i still need qtcopy?13:42
buzon gutsy i mean13:42
Jucatodon't think so. but I always stay by the book13:42
Jucatoor guide :)13:42
Jucatobtw that 5 hours is on a 1.5Ghz machine13:43
buzoh i have dual core 2 ghz13:43
buzbut slow laptop disk13:43
buzand building often is io limited more than cpu13:43
buzwell i shall give it a shot13:43

gomoran2subpixel-font-hinting in kubuntu 7.10 broken.14:10
gomoran2“Full Hinting” means especially that horizontal or vertical stems are set on pixel-koordinates, so they get crisp and not bluered (esp. on low resolution devices like 19" TFTs with only 86dpi) . This works fine on linux, but has been broken in Kubuntu 7.10.14:10

hungerDamn. Updates take ages, "waiting for headers" since gutsy was released. So much run on the servers?17:36
Tonio_great17:37
Tonio_nosrednaekim: is a gutsy-updates planned ?17:37
nosrednaekimTonio_: in case you are wnating the link http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kdelibs4c2a_3.5.8-0ubuntu3_i386.deb17:37

=== uga|away is now known as uga
hungerWhy is archive.ubuntu.com so slow for *some* dirs? gutsy-proposed and gutsy-backports in particular.17:49
Tonio_hunger: I suspect those are not the same servers17:52
Tonio_hunger: I woldn't be surprised that the servers are behind a reverse proxy and there are certain some sort of round-robbin inside too17:53
hungerTonio_: Maybe... but getting the repositories from there takes several min, even though they should be tiny at this time.17:53
Tonio_hunger: yeah but maybe the servers are globally saturated :)17:53
hungerTonio_: I'd guess they are:-)17:53
hungerWhy do you need to hand out so much software for free all the time? ;-)17:54
hungerI wonder whether there are bandwidth usage stats available on archive.u.c...17:54
Tonio_hunger: I personnaly use se. at the moment17:55
Tonio_works correctly17:55
HobbseeTonio_: there are 4 machines serving as a.u.c17:55
ugaI'd rather see a tree graph with upstream servers included17:55
Hobbsee(round robin, i think17:55
Hobbsee)17:55
Tonio_also there are other mirrors like ftp.free.fr that should work pretty quick17:55
Hobbseeback to 3 now17:55
ugaTonio_: people would use mirrors more if they were to be trusted17:56
ugabut some aren't17:56
Tonio_Hobbsee: yeah only one B, thanks for the fix17:56
ugaI gave up on a spanish mirror because it was lagging, half updated...17:56
Tonio_uga: lots are, but people just use the defaults, that's it17:56
ugaI wonder why rsyncs fail on some mirrors17:57
ugathey update the package lists, and then the packages are missing17:57
Tonio_you may try this one : deb ftp://ftp.proxad.net/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/17:57
uga(for example)17:57
ugaTonio_: uhm... I think I used proxad in the past with... was it mdk?17:58
Tonio_uga: rsync isn't the good way to mirror debian archives17:58
ugathat's a french mirror?17:58
hungerTonio_: Actually I use a.u.c directly since you guys keapt claiming the problems I had were fixed days before I reported them and the mirrors just had not updated yet.17:58
ugaTonio_: ah, I don't know how they do, I thought it was rsync17:58
Tonio_yeah, a french ISP providing a mirror17:58
Hobbseehunger: you can use 217:58
hungerHobbsee: 2 what?17:58
Tonio_uga: btw rsync isn't the best tool to mirror debian archives17:58
Hobbseesets of mirrors17:59
hungerHow so?17:59
Tonio_uga: for example if you have time difference between the servers, that can fail, I've just had the problem at my company17:59
Tonio_apt-mirror is really doing great job17:59
Tonio_hunger: depending how you fix the files17:59

ugahunger: you also have monodevelop18:05

ugaoh, I tried building kdevelop4, but ughmpf, I'm missing some weird dep18:15
ugaCMake Error: KDevPlatform_DIR is not set18:15
* uga wonders...18:15
hungeruga: kdevplatform is a module in kde svn.18:15
ugaah, I had missed that18:15
hungeruga: grab it by replacing kdevelop with kdevplatform in your svn-url.18:16
ugayeah thanks18:16
hungeruga: It's the code shared by kdevelop and quanta.18:16
ugaI thought it'd come from kdesdk18:16
hungeruga: So did I when I first checked out kdevelop for kde4:-)18:16
ugaI haven't even bothered so far18:17
ugaI always use kate mostly, anyway18:17
hungerFrom what I heard they have improved the C++ parser. I am curious about that, but so far I have not managed to see that for myself:-(18:18
ugaI still remember a guy asking me about programming... (he's not trained to coding), and he asked me what applications I used to create apps...18:18
ugaI responded "notepad", so that he understood =)18:18
ugapeople think that coding is like drawing, more or less18:18
hungeruga: We in the free SW world are in stoneage when it comes to dev-tools:-(18:18
ugauh? it's not that bad18:19
hungerOTOH we know enough to not need better tools... but occassionally it would be nice to have some of the proprietary tools.18:19
ugaI'm coding embedded systems right now, and in the past I've been doing pc coding with vc++ vs.net vb borland c++...18:20
ugaall suck at some point18:20
hungeruga: Try Visual studio with all the proprietary UML tools that integrate into that, etc.18:20
ugaoh, I dont' need UML :P18:20
hungeruga: I do not need it either, but it is nice to have since it can generate all the skeleton code;-)18:21
* hunger heads of to dinner.18:21
ugahunger: we had all code autogenerated by some pragma tool for a project18:21
ugaI almost vomit at it each time I see the generated code, since we need to fix it completely ;)18:22
ugahunger: code generation is usually okay... but ... updating the graphs after modifying the code really sucks ;))18:22
ugayou never know the limitations of a new platform until you start using it18:23
ugaand modelling helps, but... it's not perfect18:23
hungeruga: That is where some of the proprietary tools shine. They just import the code and generate the graphs from there.18:26
ugabrrrrrr... kdev4 won't build... deprecated cmake macros18:27
ugahunger: all proprietary apps =)18:27
ugaand some real good ones to analyse code and processes18:27
ugait could generate code in any language we pleased18:28
hungerand most annoying is IPC with D-Bus... never seen such a stupid IDL before.18:28
uga=)18:28
ugahunger: you sure love DCOM? =)18:28
hungerWe are using D-Bus in a project of ours right now. My colleages thought I was kidding them when I introduced them to it.18:29
hungeruga: My coworkers in fact do.18:29
ugaLOL18:29
ugadcom is scary for serious projects18:29
ugareal crap when it goes out of control18:30
hungerSo is D-Bus and CORBA.18:30
ugago dcop! :P18:30
hungeruga: It least dcop did not use such a shitty xml-based IDL that does not even know custom types.18:30

nosrednaekimhey...is it possible to use the Oxygen icon scheme in kde3?18:57
uganosrednaekim: for those icons that match in names, yes18:59
ugaelse you'd need to rename them one by one to make them match18:59
nosrednaekimewww :)19:03
fdovingi belive there are scripts somewhere on the web to do some of the renaming magically.19:03
fdovingi think i read something about that once.19:03

hungerHow do I change the kdm to not display a list of users?20:10
ugahunger: kcontrol->system administration -> login manager->users tab, "show list"20:25
ugayou can explicitly hide certain users too20:26
* hunger grumbles. The checkbox is unticked, but I still get that damn list.20:26
hungerMaybe I need to reboot.20:27
ugajust stop the kdm service and restart it20:27
uga /etc/init.d/kdm stop20:27
hungeruga: I'm afraid that I'll loose my X session that way.20:27
ugahunger: you will20:27
ugabut it's better than rebooting ;)20:27
ugareboot doesn't exist in the dictionary of a good linux sysadmin ;)20:27
hungeruga: I'm no longer trying.20:28
ugahunger: if you manage not loosing your X session when rebooting, please let me know how20:28
hungeruga: linux went so far down the windows way that rebooting does indeed help nowadays:-/20:28
ugait doesn't20:28
ugayou just need force kdm reload the config20:28
ugayou don't need to reboot at all20:29
ugahunger: nothing has changed in this sort of things for the last 7-8 years or so20:29
hungeruga: Oh, it does help. Unwedges that D-Bus mess...20:29
ugaif the kernel breaks, of course20:29
hungeruga: Not wrt. X, that is true. But this NM-Hal-whatnot stuff keeps getting on my nerves.20:29
hungerIt is even explicitly allowed to blow up when d-bus is restarted!20:30
ugaI never said d-bus was good =)20:30
ugajust like betamax vs vhs... betamax was better, but people preferred vhs20:31
ugajust like zip drives vs other optical drives, they were worse, but people bought marketing20:31
hungeruga: D-Bus itself is not bad. It's just the stuff surrounding it.20:31
ugawhat will be next... blueray against... ? =)20:31
hungerand the developer side sucks as well, but that will get fixed in time.20:32
_StefanS_hunger: did the userlist go away ?20:35
ugahe's on the dilemma: to reboot, or not to reboot. That's the question20:36
_StefanS_oh my20:36
ugaI told him to restart the kdm service ;)20:36
hunger_StefanS_: Have not restarted kdm yet.20:37
hunger_StefanS_: starting up a different user does still show that list.20:37
_StefanS_hunger: its the userlist on kdm?20:38
hungerYes.20:38
_StefanS_hunger: use kdmtheme, and will go away20:38
_StefanS_and it will20:38
* uga mumbles something about kdmtheme... =)20:38
_StefanS_I know it works, I made the patch. You still need to restart kdm though due to the way ubuntu(debian) reads the config files20:38
_StefanS_there wasnt any other way of doing it.20:39
uga_StefanS_: kdmtheme sucks20:39
uga:P20:39
hunger_StefanS_: kdemsheme?20:39
_StefanS_uhm kdmtheme works fine here20:39
ugahunger: a too that was added to kdm so that it accepts gdm themes20:39
_StefanS_it changes the kdm theme.. should it be something else?20:39
uga_StefanS_: lol. the sucks thing was a joke =)20:39
_StefanS_ah ok20:40
ugasome people will have caught why. Some others won't ;)20:40
hunger_StefanS_: I can't find it, that's why I am asking.20:40
fdovinghey, use /etc/default/kdm.d/20_kubuntu_default_settings - change the second line to say /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu-no-userlist20:40
fdovingif you want to remove the userlist, that is.20:40
_StefanS_^ thats what kdmtheme does too.20:40
_StefanS_your choice :)20:40
fdovingkdmtheme? what is that?20:40
_StefanS_fdoving: the screenshot it still wrong for the no userlist theme.. same picture :)20:40
_StefanS_it/is20:41
_StefanS_fdoving: just a kcm module20:41
uga_StefanS_: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/39520:41
uga_StefanS_: part of the story =)20:41
fdovingi didn't get the history of the discussion, i'll just go back to my other stuff. :)20:41
_StefanS_fdoving: I'll do that also in a moment20:41
_StefanS_fdoving: can you help me with some questions in regard to js/dhtml ?20:41
_StefanS_fdoving: got some wierd issues..20:42
fdoving_StefanS_: ouch,probably not. i'm not into web-things.20:42
_StefanS_uhm ok20:42
hunger_StefanS_: Ok, changed. What do I need to get that read in?20:42
_StefanS_hunger: just restart kdm20:42
uga_StefanS_: I started off the kdm themer project =)20:42
ugawith a new widget to render gdm themes20:43
_StefanS_uga: ah20:43
ugaso yeah, it sucks ;))20:43
_StefanS_well back to my damned web programming..20:43
_StefanS_call that programming again..20:44
_StefanS_just anoying is what it is.20:44
ugait's fun when you got full rights to say that certain software sucks :P20:44
_StefanS_yep20:44
_StefanS_indeed... the svn version did have some quirks a while ago20:44
ugaheh, you can't imagine how long it was taking me to render those proprely20:45
ugaparsing the xml files... urgh20:46
ugaI hate xml =)20:46
ugaand then certain cases that didn't seem to be very well specced20:46
ugaautolayouting too... I recall many discussions on the how to do that20:47
ugaoff-screen widgets etc20:47
uga_StefanS_: it's almost like an html renderer20:48
_StefanS_wow that must have been quite a task20:48
ugatext, color, transparency, sections, groups, aligntment, focused colors...20:48
_StefanS_is it for kde4?20:48
uga_StefanS_: no, that's what the kdm themer does20:48
ugarigh tnow in kde320:49
ugait's the way gdm is specced20:49
ugaI almost went nuts redering certain themes ;)20:49
_StefanS_uhm kdmtheme and kdm themer, is that the same program ? I'm getting a little confused20:50
ugayes, hehe. Just the naming =)20:50
ugaI started it off as a widget called kdm themer20:50
ugawhatever you call it nowadays ;)20:50
ugalater other people polished and integrated into kdm20:50
ugathe kdm maintainer isn't very gui-lover =))20:51
