* Jucato yawns and stretches....02:07
Tm_TJucato: YAY!02:21
Jucatoyay?02:21
nixternalit's alive!02:21
JucatoI overslept again.. hahaha02:22
Tm_TJucato: good morning hi and yay!02:22
Jucatobut I woke up LOL'ing02:22
Tm_TJucato: last image you saw was my face?02:22
Tm_Tno no, that whould have made you cry02:22
Jucatothat would have killed me on the spot02:23
Tm_Ttrue, possibly so02:23
Jucatonixternal: so how was the Kubuntu session?02:25
* Jucato imagines the first one was more exciting02:25
nixternalI can't remember02:25
nixternal:)02:25
nixternalthey were both good...I like the involvement today of the entire team though02:26
Jucato*^_^*02:26
Jucatothat's me... blushing... supposedly02:26
nixternalhehe02:27
Jucatobwahahah!! I love seele's post! :)02:27
Jucatooops... I just highlighted her :(02:28
Jucatonixternal: is it 8:30 p.m. for you?02:31
nixternalyou got it02:31
Jucatokool. still early :)02:31
nixternalyet oh so tired02:31
Jucatoaw... poor overworked nixternal02:32
Jucato!helpersnack | nixternal02:32
ubotunixternal: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!02:32
nixternalhaha02:32
* Jucato wonders if he should make a !devsnack factoid02:32
nixternalI have found a flaw in the "Popularity" of an application in Ubuntu now...when you open up the 'Add/Remove Applications' in Gnome, each package has a rating, and everything that is installed by default has 5 stars..is that because each update counts as a download I wonder?02:33
Tm_TJucato: and cause ubotu abused by us?02:33
nixternalsame goes with Kubuntu/Adept I would guess02:34
Tm_Tnixternal: time to make huge number of fixes to Kopete ;--P02:34
* Jucato wonders about it all...02:35
nixternalI want to check out Anjuta and Mono development environments..I have heard a lot of good stuff about it02:36
Jucatosoon we'll be hearing "I want to check out GNOME. I've heard a lot of good stuff about it".. and then he's gone :)02:37
nixternalhaha, nevah02:37
nixternalI don't like that I can tweak it the way I want...I mean how hard can it be to make the bars transparent?02:38
nixternalI have select transparency in the settings, but that doesn't work02:38
Tm_Tnixternal: try change tab bar from top to bottom in GNOME02:39
Tm_Tanywhere there02:39
nixternalthat's what I did02:41
Tm_Tnixternal: found any way?02:41
nixternalno..I selected transparency, and even tried to change the color..it didn't take effect though02:41
Tm_Tyah02:41
nixternalanjuta seems to be a slimlined kate, just that it has built in compile/debug options02:42
nixternalwhich you can do with Kate and a couple of macros or whatever they are called02:42
* Jucato wished Kate actually had macros... like vim recording02:43
begert I like e-macs :)02:43
begertoh hai02:43
Jucatokthxbai02:44
Jucato:P02:44
begertI can has KDE?02:44
Jucatono weiz02:44
Tm_Temacs? was that the OS without a kernel?02:44
Jucatothe great OS w/o a good text editor :)02:44
Jucatoanyway...02:44
Tm_Tah that one02:45
begerthttp://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/02:47
Jucatowe know :)02:47
nixternalOK, KDE vs. Gnome for development tools (Anjuta IDE, MonoDevelop, Bluefish, and Scream)02:47
nixternalKDE 102:48
nixternalGnome 002:48
Tm_TKDE <302:48
nixternalas a matter of fact, Kate does everything each one of those apps do02:48
Jucatowas there even a contest? :)02:48
nixternalI wanted to see02:48
Jucatoexcept a Class Browser...02:48
nixternalKDevelop is just way to strong of an IDE...it is getting close to Eclipse in that way02:48
nixternalQuanta+ > Bluefish/Scream02:49
nixternalI am actually disappointed..I had quite a few people tell me how good anjuta was...and it doesn't even do code completion from what I just saw02:49
nixternaland when you compile c++, it works great, actually to great...but go to execute it, and it tells you the file isn't local...derrr02:49
JucatoI have one big disappointment w/ KDevelop... you practically can't use it to compile a simple C++ program... without having to make a project.. or without having to use the embedded Konsole02:50
nixternalya, that is why I use Eclipse whenever I am doing STL work02:51
* Jucato just uses Kate for now... no too much Classes02:51
nixternalbut Gnome does have an app I absolutely love02:52
nixternalTomboy02:52
Jucatooh yeah, basket needs some features like that02:52
Jucatoand deskbar! (imho)02:53
nixternalforget Basket, KNotes02:53
nixternalwhat is deskbar?02:53
nixternalI need to play man02:53
nixternalhehe02:53
Jucatoplay man?02:53
Jucatodeskbar is like Katapult on the panel. launcher and search engine02:53
Jucatow/o the indexing overhead of beagle (I think)02:54
nixternalI take it that it is not in the repos?02:54
Jucatoit's built-in to GNOME02:54
nixternaloh02:54
Jucatooh and drawers on the gnome panels!02:54
nixternaloh, I see deskbar02:54
nixternalI thought that was something for tracker02:54
Jucatohm.. maybe I was wrong.. but tracker doesn't seem to be a depends02:55
Jucatoaaaanyway... at least it works :)02:55
nixternaldeskbar is nice02:56
Jucatouh oh... I'm guilty of converting nixternal to GNOME!02:57
nixternalhehe02:58
nixternalI think KRunner in KDE 4 is better though02:58
nixternaland I think Katapult is better for launching apps02:58
Jucato+1 katapult02:58
nixternalI know a ton of people who use Katapult on Gnome actually and they love it02:58
Jucato+0.5 krunner02:58
Jucatowell I haven't used krunner for 2 weeks so I can't really say... but last time I had performance, aesthetics, and usability issues with it02:59
begertI have been using KDE for about and I didn't figure out what Katapult was until about 2 weeks ago :P02:59
Jucatofor about what? :)03:00
begert*about a year03:00
Jucatohehe :)03:00
begertgot ahead of myself03:00
Jucatoit's ok... using KDE is a lot like treasure hunting03:00
begertI "opened" it along time ago, but never thought to just start typing something03:01
begertit looked to much like a splash image03:01
Jucatoit's not entirely intuitive unless you know Quicksilver03:02
begertI just kept waiting for it to start03:02
nixternalGnome does have Epiphany, which I like 2nd only to Konqueror03:02
Jucatohm.. it has a weird way of dealing w/ bookmarks though...03:02
JucatoEpiphany I mean03:03
begertso while I was sitting here I had an idea, and though I really havn't done anything for Kubuntu except write bug reports, I thought it was a decent idea03:04
nixternalooh, I forgot about Galeon as well03:04
begertI thought it could be neat to set a day every 1/2 weeks where people would focus on using a single KDE app in an attempt to find bugs and such03:05
begertthats 1 to 2 weeks03:06
begertnot half weeks03:06
nixternalbegert: that is what we would call a bug day kind of, or a hug day rather03:06
nixternalbut we definitely need to do it here on the Kubuntu side03:06
nixternalthe Ubuntu people get a lot of people to show up for Hug Days, whereas only a few of us here show up for them03:07
begertbut also (I know little) aren't those days more focused on known existing bugs?03:07
nixternalin a way yes, but that doesn't mean we can't edit the definition right :)03:07
nixternalI think it is a good day03:07
nixternaland idea03:08
begertI am thinking more on the testing side of trying all you can to break 1 specific app for that day03:08
nixternalthat is what I meant to say..I think that is a good idea :)03:08
begertvery true03:08
begert:)03:08
begertI can at least contribute ideas for now03:10
JucatoI'm going to be traiging all Adept and System Settings bugs next week... and forwarding them to manchicken :P03:10
* Jucato sees himself in begert almost 2 years ago... minus the ability to use emacs...03:11
nixternalhehe03:11
begertwell I never said I was "good" at using emacs03:11
Jucato2 years ago... I didn't even know how to use both emacs and vim03:11
JucatoI use vim... not good at it though03:12
Tm_TI dont know how to use those03:12
Tm_Tnor care to know03:12
JucatoI just know enough to do :%s/nixternal/vista/03:12
begertI tried vim, i didn't like it03:12
manchickenJucato: Righto.  You do that :)03:12
Jucatohaven't tried emacs... I tried vim first at the behest of a friend03:12
begertbut i know people that love it03:12
begerteither way, both are great03:13
Jucatomanchicken: should I just assign them to you are should I just poke you with a list?03:13
manchickenJucato: Could you poke me with a list (preferably via email)?03:13
manchickenI'm going to be picking up the Kubuntu slack a bit when I start this indy job.03:14
Jucatomanchicken: sure :)03:14
JucatoI will probably give my comments too :P03:14
manchickenAny info you could give--including cause suspicions--would be nice.03:14
Jucato(and then we all decide to move to packagekit bwahahah!)03:15
JucatoI'll try if I can even fix the lowest hanging fruits... you know, the ones low enough for worms to eat? :D03:15
* Jucato decides to take a risk...03:19
Jucatohm... nvm03:19
manchickenheh03:23
manchickenIf there's low-hanging fruit, I probably already ate it.03:24
manchickenI think the resolution of the database lock is probably the most complicated bug fix I've done.03:24
nixternalheh, I think I might like Compiz a little bit03:26
manchickenI like it alright, I just don't like its limitations.03:28
nixternalI am having to much fun with it03:29
nixternalI think I shall install it on my laptop03:29
manchickenIt's fun for about a week.03:29
nixternalshow them Mac people what it is all about03:29
Tm_Tmanchicken: I got enough of it in 2 minutes =)03:29
manchickenIf we can't get some of these issues fixed, I may move to GNOME for a little while.03:29
manchickenAs much as it pains me to say that.03:29
manchickenThis artsd/kmilo/kmix thing is killing me.03:29
manchickenAnd not being able to use my headphone jack is just too much.03:30
manchickenIt's bad enough that I can't suspend/resume.03:30
Tm_Tarts... I think I have heard that few years ago... ;)03:30
* Tm_T doesnt use it =)03:30
manchickenWhen you don't have a hardware mixer, you need something.03:30
Tm_Ttrue03:31
manchickenI love KDE, but right now this is just killing me.03:31
manchickenOoh, I should try KDE4 now.03:31
Tm_Tyes!03:31
Tm_Thow you even could think of GNOME before trying KDE4 ?!03:31
manchickenBecause I know GNOME works :)03:32
manchickenAnd because System76 will give me full support for GNOME.03:32
Tm_T:(03:32
manchickenheh03:32
* Tm_T get panic attacks from gnome03:32
Jucatomanchicken: iirc someone was having problems with that database lock resolution thingy....03:32
manchickenNot saying I don't want to make KDE better though.03:32
manchickenJucato: Yeah, but I haven't been able to replicate any of those issues.03:32
Jucatoit crashes Adept again iirc03:32
manchickenJucato: And if I can't replicate them, or get a super-sweet dump file, I can't really troubleshoot it.03:33
manchickenIt's all nixternal's fault.03:33
Jucatomanchicken: heh the worst kind of bugs...03:33
manchickenTrying KDE403:35
crimsunof course it'd be nixternal's fault.03:42
nixternalwell well well, if it isn't old crimsun!03:42
crimsunthat's geezer crimsun to you, kiddo!03:42
Jucatocrimsun!!!!03:42
begertgood night people, talk to you later03:52
Jucatok'night begert!03:53
manchickenDoes KDE4 have a working panel yet?04:08
manchickenI wasn't able to get that working at all.04:08
manchickenJust plasma and a handful of plasmoids.04:09
Jucatosemi-working04:10
Daskreechseele: ha ha :) nice backend04:51
* Jucato burps05:38
* Daskreech wakes up .45 miles away05:41
DaskreechWhat just happened?05:41
Tm_Tme just happened05:43
Tm_Tnixternal: http://www.tm-travolta.net/shots/current.png07:13
DaskreechWouldn't manchicken  be more interested?07:16
Tm_The maybe too07:16
Tm_TDaskreech: but why he more?07:16
Daskreechmanchicken is a RMS fiend :)07:16
Daskreechhe'd love it07:16

Tonio_hi Jucato, Lure :)13:45
Jucatohi Tonio_! :)13:45
Tonio_Jucato: didn't find out how to trust a protocol in konqueror.:/13:46
Lurehi Tonio_, I see you are already hitting hardy-changes!13:46
Jucatooh...13:46
* Lure still needs to upgrade to hardy13:46
Tonio_Lure: well kio-apt shouldn't have been there.....;; I just override that one, it should have gone to my ppa :)13:47
Tonio_Lure: fancy testing kio-aot ?13:47
LureTonio_: ;-)13:47
Tonio_apt13:47
LureTonio_: maybe during weekend, busy now...13:47
Tonio_oki13:47
Tonio_Lure: no idea how to make konqueror consider a protocol is secured ?13:48
Lurejust came from US and now on business meetings for the second day13:48
Tonio_Lure: I can't find out how to make it to consider apt:/ is a trusted protocol13:48
LureTonio_: like https?13:48
LureTonio_: what would be the difference13:48
Tonio_Lure: konqueror doesn't like unknown protocols while clicking on links13:49
Tonio_no problom when typing in the address bar13:49
LureTonio_: oh, that...13:49
Tonio_Lure: yep ;)13:49
LureTonio_: no idea.13:49
Tonio_Lure: I guess we'll have to patch konqueror for this13:49
Tonio_looks like ardcoded feature13:49
* Lure is not using Konqueror for browsing and do not know the code at all13:49
Tonio_probably something in kio-http btw13:50
Tonio_or khtml13:50
* Lure downloads new Opera beta... ;-)13:50
jpatrickyo13:50
Tonio_yop jpatrick13:51
Tonio_Jucato: the installation reporting succes/failure now works in kio-apt13:51
Jucatowoot! :)13:52
Jucatohm. is kio-apt making use of gdebi-kde btw?13:52
Tonio_Jucato: no it just uses adept-batch13:53
Jucatooh13:53
* Jucato wonders why we couldn't have developed adept-batch in the first place...13:53
JucatoI mean for .debs...13:54
Jucatobah nvm.. apt... heheh13:54
Tonio_Jucato: adept-batch is for apt-get installation13:54
Tonio_gdebi is for dpkg (aka local) installation13:54
Tonio_that's just completly different13:54
Jucatoyeah. I sort of... :)13:54
Tonio_manchicken: ping ?13:54
Tonio_manchicken: I just discovered that adept-batch just segfaults when using a bad package name13:54
Tonio_manchicken: sudo adept-batch install blablatoto13:55
Tonio_that's bad :/13:55
jpatrickJucato: do you use a i*86?13:57
Jucatoyes. but my kubuntu install is currently hosed :)13:58
jpatrickdamn13:58
* Jucato might need to download an ISO instead of waiting for shitit13:58
Jucatoer shipit13:58
jpatrickhosed so much that you can't test: http://ihosted.info/~jpatrick/kde-style-domino_0.4-0ubuntu1_i1386.deb ?13:59
* Jucato nods13:59
* Hobbsee wonders how you broke it.13:59
Jucatotried to do a fresh install since any kernel higher than 2.6.22-12 (can't recall) freezes14:00
Jucatolucky as I am... my only feisty cd isn't working as well :)14:00
manchickenTonio_: Wuddup homes?14:01
manchickenTonio_: You got a bug for that just so that I don't forget about it?  I'll see if I can take a peeky-peek at it right now.14:02
apacheloggerjpatrick: ahoy!.... http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=423 http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=42414:02
* Hobbsee notes that she's officially been using ubuntu for a week now.14:02
Hobbseewell, 8 day.s14:03
manchickenTonio_: I can replicate it.14:03
manchickenHobbsee: How you like it?14:03
jpatrickapachelogger: warum bist du niemal hier wann ich dich sehen will!?14:03
Hobbseemanchicken: there's some really nice polished stuff in there14:03
Hobbseebut konversation is a must, is as amarok14:03
manchickenI think it's pretty good.  I just don't think I could pull myself away from the well integrated, but not always as simple, KDE.14:03
Hobbseemanchicken: the lack of functionality in some places is annoying - like the lack of kioslaves.14:03
apacheloggerjpatrick: private problems which currently need a lot of time14:03
jpatrickah, right14:03
manchickenHobbsee: I don't like how limited metacity is compared to kwin.14:04
apacheloggerjpatrick: btw, I'd split domino, since it's a theme a style and a window deco14:04
Hobbseemanchicken: well, it's with compiz too, so...14:04
Hobbseemanchicken: it's more stuff like nautilus14:04
manchickenHobbsee: Or xchat vs. konvi, konsole vs. terminal, etc.14:04
Hobbseeyeah, true14:04
manchickenHobbsee: D3lphin smokes nautilus14:04
Hobbseei've found terminal to be fine, actually14:04
* Hobbsee isnt much of a fan of d3lphin14:04
* Jucato has to agree w/ the d3lphin comment unfortunately...14:04
manchickenAnd kontact beats the hell out of evolution imho.14:04
jpatrickapachelogger: hmm, might do, for tastymenu rm the debian dir in source and retar it14:04
Hobbseeoh, indeed.  thunderbird sucks less than either of them, though14:04
jpatricknote in changelog and send a message upstream :)14:05
Jucatomanchicken: gnome-term has one feature that will only arrive in Konsole in KDE 4 though14:05
manchickenI'm not a thunderbird fan.14:05
Jucatoclickable links14:05
* apachelogger goes retaring14:05
manchickenJucato: I'm not a big fan of clickable links in my terminal sessions :)14:05
Jucatoehehe14:05
Tonio_manchicken: strange........14:05
Hobbseeah yes, i like the clicking14:05
Tonio_can someone try to reproduce ?14:05
Hobbseei want to see kde4, though14:05
seeleLure: pong14:05
manchickenTonio_: I can reproduce the problem.14:05
apacheloggerHobbsee: kde4's konsole is awesome14:05
Jucatoseele: nice blog post btw ;)14:06
manchickenTonio_: I just can't get a good dump file.14:06
seeleJucato: haha thanks14:06
Tonio_manchicken: okay but does this crash for you too ?14:06
manchickenTonio_: Could you put a bug in for that if there isn't one already?  I'm going to hopefully get back into the kubuntu hacking here soon.14:06
manchickenTonio_: Yes.14:06
Tonio_manchicken: oki :)14:07
manchickenTonio_: Without any good debugging other than a STL exception message.14:07
jpatrickapachelogger: you should also put (LP: #xxx) after IR in changelog to close the LP bug14:07
Lureseele: I have a German customer that would need usability consultant, so I am thinking some kde-usability person can do the job14:08
Lureseele: anyone from germany that is doing this kind of consultancy work?14:08
Tonio_manchicken: okay, I'll just report the bug on launchpad atm14:09
manchickenMuch thanks.14:09
manchickenI think it's probably just iterating through all packages it knows of without paying attention to whether or not its at the end of its list.14:09
manchickenIf I'm right then that'd be a simple issue to fix.14:10
seeleLure: Ellen Reitmayr (ellen@reitmayr.net) does consulting and Jan Muehlig (jan.muehlig@relevantive.de) has a consultancy called Relevantive14:10
Hobbseemanchicken: it's frustrating having to look up how to do things, which usually Just Work14:10
Lureseele: thanks, will contact them14:10
seeleLure: both have been involved in KDE usability and are a part of OpenUsability14:10
seeleLure: np14:10
manchickenHobbsee: Yes.  That it is.14:10
manchickenHobbsee: It's pretty well polished though, but it's just not what I like to use.14:11
JucatoTonio_: bug report exists14:11

mzungunixternal, please have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuExtras to see if its what you had in mind16:03

Jucatomzungu: I still vote for kget to be included by default :)16:07
Jucatoktorrent's there.. but not kget...16:07
mzunguha ha - me too!16:07
mzungualways on my immediate list after an install16:08
DaSkreechWon't be an issue with KDe4 I think16:10
mhbplease, explain to me - why should we include something more in the default install?16:10
mhbwho are we going to please by that?16:10
DaSkreechmhb: Debian users?16:11
mhbis really an app like kget something to be considered essential for the base install?16:11
DaSkreechNo16:11
Jucatomhb: I have one big reason for having KGet installed16:11
Jucato(is KTorrent even?)16:11
Hobbseewhy would we want kget, sorry?16:11
Jucatook let me type!!!16:11
Hobbseektorrent is installed by default.  it's handy :)16:11
JucatoKGet solves a big problem with sites that deliver wrong16:12
JucatoMIME types for downloads16:12
Jucatolike kde-look/apps and other random sites16:12
nixternalmzungu: looks good...I will make sure I get those items documented16:12
Jucatow/o kget, konqueror attempts to open those in Kate16:12
mhbJucato: sure, that is a good reason for having it in universe.16:12
mhband nobody can block that.16:13
Jucatook ok...16:13
Jucatooutvoted...16:13
nixternalHobbsee: it isn't to install by default, but to document so new users know what they have available...go give them a better description than what Adept gives16:13
Hobbseeah right16:13
* Jucato woners how many times people will download through torrent vs. download through http/ftp16:13
nixternalI wish I would have thought of that a while back :)16:13
mhbNow, tell me a reason why it should be in main, so please, could you give an user case of a person that cannot click Save As? on the link? Or when you cannot really use the apt-get/adept to fetch it?16:13
nixternalI rarely ever use Torrent except for the initial release isos16:14
mhbto fetch kget and then use it16:14
Jucato<mhb> Now, tell me a reason why it should be in main, so please, could you give an user case of a person that cannot click Save As? on the link? <--- like I said, that doesn't always work16:14
Jucatoand for people who really don't know, they won't know that kget sort of fixes that problem16:14
mhbJucato: it doesnt? Really? Well I have never had trouble with it, and I have never used kget AFAIK.16:14
mzungufor kget in particular, for those of us with poor and slow internet - it makes download management better16:15
mhbJucato: and I have downloaded stuff from kde-look/apps any other site16:15
Jucatomhb: just because you haven't, doesn't mean no one has16:15
nixternalsave as rarely works on quite a few things...I tried the other day to save some SVGs and it tried to save them as =JKK8439KDFJ== or some garbage16:15
mhbindeed16:15
mhbagain, a perfectly sound reason for universe16:15
JucatoI've come across many instances already of people asking why Konqueror kept on trying to open downloads in Kate16:15
nixternalI heard that they removed curl from the CDs...does anyone know if that is true, and if so, did they replace it? well they had to replace it obviously16:16
Jucatomhb: I get your point. what I don't understand why ktorrent would have special treatment though16:16
nixternalI am with Jucato on that...KTorrent is nice, but not everyone is using it...check popcon16:16
mhbJucato: well ktorrent is the only app we have for downloading any torrents, right?16:16
Jucato* Jucato woners how many times people will download through torrent vs. download through http/ftp16:17
DaSkreechThat might not be a bad idea nixternal16:17
nixternalJucato: people really only use KTorrent to get music and movies16:17
Jucatolike I said nvm. outvoted16:17
DaSkreechHave a common tasks document16:17
Jucatonixternal: from questionable sources too...16:17
mhbJucato: but we certainly have apps for downloading content, Konqueror should handle that automagically. Right, kget fixes some use cases, but not all.16:18
nixternalso that is why I am with you...if KTorrent was popular for everyone, then OK, but it isn't16:18
Jucatonixternal: in an indirect way, we're sort of condoning something...16:18
nosrednaekimyeah... I don't see why we need a torrenting app16:18
nixternalplus a lot of people are using Azureus over KTorrent for stuff from what I have heard16:18
nixternalJucato: you are right on the button there :)16:18
nixternaleven though I think there is a "we don't condone if for the use of...." somewhere in the documentation16:19
mhbhehe16:19
nixternalI know we have a patch that removes all of the bad torrent sites like Pirate Bay and such16:19
mzungumebbe in the hope that downloading a new kubuntu cd will use torrent, rather than overload the ubuntu servers?16:19
mhb"a lot of people use kaffeine for playing non-copyrighted content ... and other people are using totem or mplayer, from what I have heard :o)"16:19
mhberr, s/copyrighted/illegal16:20
nixternalKNemo would be nice to have though, especially if there is this "play catchup with Ubuntu" idea floating around...they have something similar..and KNemo is one of the first things I install...it doesn't get anybetter than KNemo :)16:20
Jucatonixternal: grr!16:20
nixternalhahaha16:20
Hobbseemeh, knemo16:21
nixternalKFTPGrabber I am not a huge fan of just yet, because of its limitations16:21
mhbshould we ban kaffeine because of people playing illegal content on it? No, because it is our only means of playing video  players16:21
nixternalHobbsee: come on now, I love that little app :)16:21
mhband the same goes with torrents16:21
nixternalVLC!16:21
Hobbseeyay, torrents!16:21
Hobbseeof course, ubuntu torrents are why we want to keep a torrenter.16:21
Hobbseebesides, sometimes you *have* to torrent, as the $powersthatbe dont give you a legal way to get the content in question.16:22
mhband legal videos are why we need a video player16:22
nixternalI think we need to seriously take a look at popcon and see what we have out of the box, see how important it is, and maybe poll the users...we need to poll the users a little bit to get an idea of just how they are using Kubuntu16:22
mhbheck, we cannot even play DVDs in Kaffeine legally, should we remove that functionality?16:22
nixternalremember, Kubuntu is about what WE like or don't like...it is about what the USERS like and dis-like16:22
nixternalhey16:22
nixternalI booboo'd there16:22
nixternals/KUbuntu is about what WE/Kubuntu is NOT about what WE/16:22
mhbright16:23
nixternalI just think it is time we listen to the people who use it to an extent16:23
mhbI think the base principle of Kubuntu is to provide one tool for one task16:23
mhbon the default CD - and provide all the possibilities in universe repos16:24
nixternaland that's fine, as long as people are using the one tool for that one task16:24
ScottKnixternal: For a paid dev sure, but I don't feel any obligation to make Kubuntu like anything other than what I want.16:24
mhbbut what KGet really does is just fix a download problem in Konqueror for sites that are written badly16:24
mhberr, badly configured servers16:24
Jucatoof course it can be more than that... but then again..16:24
Jucatoone tool for one task...16:25
mhbJucato: I would prefer that to be done so that the user doesnt have to wonder why KGet opens this and Konqueror that16:25
nixternalI do, it is free software, I have been provided the chance to work with a great project and a great community, I have been given this chance for free...if you don't like doing it unpaid, then free-software isn't for you...this is a volunteer community, that's what makes us so strong...Ubuntu does a great job of giving the users what they want, and a majority of them are volunteers as well16:25
mhbJucato: a config option in Konqui perhaps?16:25
Jucatomhb: why will Konqueror open when something is supposed to be downloaded if KGet integration is enabled?16:26
* Jucato wonders if IRC ops will be paid soon :P16:26
Jucatonon-developing IRC ops :D16:26
* mhb wonders if he will be paid again for hacking Kubuntu :o)16:27
Jucatoheh16:27
mhbbut probably not16:27
Jucato:(16:27
nixternalnobody will be getting paid monetarily soon...you should develop and work with free software because you enjoy it..if you want the paycheck, then you have to go else where, because sabdfl said it best during the Q&A talk....no money for you! :)16:27
mhbJucato: its not a bad thing, someone else will get paid for that, and we will gain a skilled person for some time16:27
mhbI am perfectly happy with helping out Kubuntu as much as I can until it is fun :o)16:28
ScottKnixternal: Sure, but my point is volunteers should work as they will and not because they are pushed.16:28
mhbs/until/as long as16:28
nixternalyou mean until it is no longer fun?16:28
nixternalor that :)16:28
nixternalhehe16:28
DaSkreechmhb: non-illegal ?16:28
nixternalScottK: there is no pushing...having a user tell you what they would like to see is no different than doing what is on the Kubuntu TODO list16:29
ScottKnixternal: Yes (see my recent rants on MOTU for why I'm doing less there).16:29
nixternaloh, I seen them :) hehe16:29
Hobbseenixternal: popcon is broken, iirc.16:29
mhbDaSkreech: me bad english16:29
nixternalyay, so where else could you get popular application information from?16:29
mhbDaSkreech: sorry for me, me no good english16:29
nixternalhrmm, the people who use it? :p16:29
mhbnixternal: right16:29
ScottKnixternal: Sure.  User is free to ask and I'm free to ignore.16:29
mhbalso, there is a different thing16:30
Hobbseenixternal: it might be fixed, i'm not sure.  it certainly was broken16:30
mhbwe dont have that much space on the CD16:30
nixternalHobbsee: you are right...I remember reading about it16:30
mhbI would like to consider whether some app would make as many users happy as the amount of translations we would bring instead16:30
mhbor rephrased: if you want to get something on the CD, make sure there is space for it :o)16:31
nixternaldon't get me started on translations, because I am highly pissed at Rosetta right now :)16:31
mhbnixternal: you are nothing,16:31

mhboh my...16:36
mzungu;)16:36
mhbhas jr heard about the idea of presenting anything on a new install?16:36
mhbbecause I am sure he would be against it as he always was when it came to first-run pop-ups16:36
mzungunow then lad, what would tha' prefer16:37
mhbmzungu: hmm, not sure. Kubuntu.org page dedicated to that?16:37
mzungu(said with best 'yorkshire' accent)16:37
nixternalmhb: presented as in documented...and our documentation is available on a new install :)16:38
mhbmzungu: of course, all those packages important to the users should be available through the add/remove packages interface16:38
mzungui'm thinking of newbies16:38
mhbnixternal: right, that is a good way16:38
mzunguadept with universe enabled by default is a bit daunting16:39
* DaSkreech still theorises that in two years Ubuntu will suck :)16:39
mhbnixternal: I understood "presented" in a different way16:39
nixternalmzungu: I think a lot of new users are looking at the Add/Remove app for stuff16:39
JucatoDaSkreech: and how about Kubuntu?16:39
mhbmzungu: adept has universe by default16:39
mhbmzungu: or do you mean something else?16:40
nixternalbut you are right, Adept is insane when you have have any repo enabled :)16:40
mzunguyes - and how is a newbie supposed to go through all the packages,16:40
mzunguand know what does what16:40
nixternalalphabetically from what I could see :p16:40
mhbsearch16:40
nixternalhehe16:40
DaSkreechJucato: I'm just saying that adding more functionality with only one CD is not maintainable16:40
mzunguwithout a bit of a helping hand16:40
mhbtype a "rename" in his language into the search bar16:40
DaSkreech KDE will probably be better since it can consolidate libs etc16:40
DaSkreech But there is stil the underlying Ubuntu growth creep16:41
mzungumhb, if you are a newbie - search for *what*?16:41
mhbmzungu: well I just thought I am a newbie and I want to rename multiple files16:41
mhbmzungu: I must admit I am not sure how the newbie really behaves16:42
nixternalwhat I think mzungu is trying to say, is it isn't presented to a new user cleanly..they are given a list of names with a description a developer has added to the debian/control file, which half don't make sense16:42
nixternalthen use the wonderful app called KRename :)  </shameful plug>16:42
mzunguif we are trying to attract newbies to kubuntu, coming from another nameless os, we need more hand holding16:43
DaSkreechmhb: They open add/remove programs16:43
mhbDaSkreech: yes, and they can search for "rename" and find krename16:43
DaSkreechYeah I know16:43
mzunguand how do they know, from the many rename hits, that krename is what they need?16:44
DaSkreechcause we filter on KDE by default?16:44
mzunguunless we help them along with a list of 'recommended' extras16:44
nixternalholy smokes16:44
nixternalI just searched for *rename* in adept...we definitely don't filter on KDE16:45
mhbnixternal: adept_installer?16:45
mzunguyeah - had to light one up ;)16:45
nixternalAdept Manager16:45
mhbnixternal: I think I found krename rather easily with that16:45
mhbnixternal: hmm, yes, adept manager is not really an application targeted at common users16:45
nixternalwell I see KRename, but I also see cdrtoaster, firebird2*, gprename, and more16:46
mhbnixternal: which kind of contradicts the fact that it is on the CD :o) I would like to have a single package manager for sure, perhaps with single and advanced views.16:46
* nixternal uses apt-cache search16:46
Jucatoby default it filters/searches in name, description, and maintainer even...16:46
nixternalfirst time I opened Adept Installer in a long time16:47
* Jucato doesn't like adept_installer's implementation, although the interface is fine...16:47
nixternalOK, time for me to go learn something...see ya'll later16:48
Jucatothe part I don't like about the Add/Remove Programs stuff is that when you try to search for a package that isn't in the app-install-data database, it won't show up..and you'll think it doesn't exists, unless you search in adept manager16:48
Jucatonvm... :)16:48
mzungui guess we are all seasoned users - and pretty much know what we want - from years of installing kde-based systems - personally, i prefer aptitude curses i/f than gui - but try telling that to a newbie16:49
* Jucato shudders16:49
mzungu...and dolphins should stick to the ocean, where they belong ;)16:50
* mhb loves dolphin16:50
mhbreally, I like it way more than konqui16:51
mhbof course, I never said it during the development cycle, at least I think so16:51
mzunguthank goodness for diversity!16:51
JucatoI like dolphins.... but not d3lphin :)16:51
JucatoI do like Dolphin though16:51
mzunguah the well-known spleing mistook!16:52
* mzungu => class :)16:53
DaSkreechnixternal: I meant add/remove16:57

DaSkreechYeah I know20:10
ugathis one seems to be alive20:10

nixternalI will word it as to not implement Kubuntu in doing the study in order to incorporate what people want...I just want to know what is really popular in our repos, and see how users are using their machines20:39

nixternalPeople are interested, because the big-shots listen. You get people like the SABDFL himself in there fielding questions for two hours. You get guys like Jono Bacon, Rich Johnson, and John Riddell who sit around and joke with people, and listen to complaints and take suggestions.20:40
