ryanakcakwwii: nice KDM background01:03
nixternal_ryanakca: you talking about the kde3 kdm background? which I think is the kde3 wallpaper for us?01:05
cheguevarathe blue one?01:05
nixternal_I have to say that using usb sticks and what not works much better in KDE 4 than it ever did in KDE 301:05

cheguevarawhats with when you say open kwrite01:07
cheguevaraand try to open another text file, it don't open in the same kwrite and produces an error01:08
cheguevarais it because of the wrappers?01:09

nosrednaekimmhb: isn't it kinda late over there?01:10
mhbthat's what they sing, too :o)01:10
mhb"when you feel so tired, but you can't sleep"01:10
mhbnosrednaekim: working on kdesudo01:10
nosrednaekimoh... fun.01:11
mhbTonio_: be sure to update your trunk-kde4 branch in the morning01:43
cheguevarahttp://phorolinux.com/images/opensuse11a1/installer02.jpg01:57
cheguevaradamn that looks nice01:57
mhbdon't be confused by its appearance - it's still opensuse01:57
nosrednaekim^_^01:58
mhbtheir installer is still the ultra wizard with a 1000 slides.01:58
mhbno matter how much makeup he puts on.01:58
nosrednaekimI do like their package selection though01:58
nosrednaekimbut thats probably because I have dial-up01:59
mhbnosrednaekim: please explain01:59
cheguevaradefault kde installation takes too much space imho though01:59
nosrednaekimI like the idea of 5 cds with every single package on them, so I don't have to send DL scripts, etc to my dad01:59
cheguevaraheh02:00
cheguevarainstaller is in qt 4 as well02:00
cheguevaraWe’ll add KDE 4.0 as default for Alpha 2 and 3. If it quality wise works out KDE 4.0 will be default for goldmaster release in June02:03
cheguevara^^ opensuse02:03
mhbnosrednaekim: you like it?02:03
mhbnosrednaekim: hmm, I remember having the same idea back in the day - "let's download the 5 CDs so I can install everything on a dial-up system without the Net"02:04
nosrednaekimmhb: open suse?no. the system of having all the packages in one place? yes02:04
mhbthe 3rd CD b0rked and I was left with 5 useless CDs02:04
nosrednaekim^_^02:04
mhbof course, suse refused to install.02:05
nosrednaekimthat is, of course, the problem02:06
mhbthat's why I like the idea of 1 CD installer02:07
nosrednaekimyeah.... and download scripts... :)02:07
mhbwell, they shouldn't be necessary.02:08
mhbexcept for proprietary codecs maybe.02:08
nosrednaekimwell, I use them to send wget scripts to my dad for any packages I want.02:10
mhbnosrednaekim: what do you actually miss in Kubuntu?02:10
nosrednaekimnothing.... which is why i'm using it :)02:11
mhbI think in a way, software needs to have limits, like a 700MB CD. Because if it doesn't, it behaves like a gas and expands indefinitely.02:11
mhba distro can easily fill the whole DVD.02:12
mhbI'm sure Debian would fill the Blu-ray.02:12
nosrednaekim:)02:12
mhbwhen we have limits, we strive to overcome them, thus innovating.02:13
mhbwe think of cleverer ways to pack data, or have strict guidelines on what to include.02:13
nosrednaekimright..02:14
mhbhow's dial-up on Kubuntu btw?02:14
mhbis networkmanager any good? Or do you have to use kppp?02:14
nosrednaekimwe have  way too many computers in this house for me to be dialing out myself ;) we dial out from a server(running gentoo, thanks to my brother) with a serial modem02:16
mhbah02:18
mhbcool.02:18
mhbI used to dial-up with a server too.02:18
mhbthose were the times :o)02:18
nosrednaekimthose ARE the times :)02:18
nosrednaekimand let me tell you... the good old days aren't so good :)02:19

_StefanS_Riddell: we should change the text color of the date in kdm, its also "washed" out like the one we previously fixed.09:55
Riddell_StefanS_: sure, go ahead :)09:56
Riddellthe whole background should be made less transparent09:56
_StefanS_yes that would probably help09:56
_StefanS_kwwii: you there?10:04
_StefanS_Riddell: the texts are fixed, but I need kwii to fix the transperancy stuff on the dialog since its a static image10:05
Riddell_StefanS_: texts fixed in bzr?10:11
_StefanS_Riddell: nawp10:12
_StefanS_Riddell: can I commit to it ?10:12

Riddell_StefanS_: you could indeed.  it's in kdebase10:21
_StefanS_yup, the other kdesudo related stuff was fixed by Tonio, so I guess its something I could look at10:22
kwwii_StefanS_: yepp, now I am11:03
kwwiibrb, rebooting11:04
kwwiire11:06
Riddellkwwii: I think he wants the centre image from our kdm theme to make it less transparent for the new background11:07
kwwii_StefanS_: http://sinecera.de/gutsy_kubuntu.svg11:10
Riddellkwwii: no, the "dialogue" one11:11

_StefanS_I was just out to lunch11:14
_StefanS_someting like that probably11:14
_StefanS_kwwii: although the current one in hardy is somewhat larger, cant we modify that one ?11:15
_StefanS_kwwii: dialog.png under the kubuntu theme11:15
Tm_Tmmmmmmmmmmmmmmgh11:18
kwwii_StefanS_: the dialog.png was made from an svg like that one11:20
kwwiilet me check and see if I can find the version from gutsy11:20
kwwiiI am not sure if I saved a version for gutsy after making it bigger11:21

kwwiihttp://sinecera.de/gutsy_kdm_list.svg11:22

Riddelldavmor2: dunno, I don't have a printer here to test with11:30
_StefanS_kwwii: ok those seem to be the right ones11:31
_StefanS_kwwii: can you make them a little less transperant?11:31
kwwii_StefanS_: at the moment I am in a meeting in London, I could get to that sometime next week11:34
kwwii_StefanS_: they will need new logos as well11:34
kwwiiI was planning on taking care of that later11:35
kwwiialso, I thought about editing the usplash11:35
kwwii(which is where the logo in kdm came from)11:35
_StefanS_good idea.. a fresh logo would be cool11:36
_StefanS_kwwii: any ideas how to improve the logo?11:40
kwwii_StefanS_: not off the top of my head11:40
kwwiiwe could always make it brown or orange :p11:40
mhbgood morning11:41
_StefanS_kwwii: bah :O.. another thing; I think it would be cool to switch to using qtcurve as style, you can really make some nice configurations not available in the current style11:41
_StefanS_kwwii: I really think it has come a long way11:42
kwwii_StefanS_: in kde4?11:42
_StefanS_kwwii: no just kde3..11:42
kwwiiahhh, right...I think that would be a good idea11:42
_StefanS_kwwii: what about the style? I could mock something up for next week maybe ?11:43
_StefanS_kwwii: we could discuss the look, and align it with your ideas11:43
mhbI find QtCurve quite similar to polyester11:44
mhbbut it's true that it's a bit more maintained.11:44
_StefanS_mhb: well, if you really get into the details of the configurations, you make some seriously nice styles11:44
kwwii_StefanS_: cool, let's talk about this next week11:44
_StefanS_kwwii: deal then.11:44
_StefanS_I might make a few mocks.11:44
kwwiimhb, _StefanS_: perhaps we can discuss this at some semi-official meeting11:44
_StefanS_well yes, could be a good idea... everyone could give their 2cents.11:45
kwwiiyeah, a couple of people complained about the new wallpaper and suggested having a contest11:45
kwwiiI told them to bring it up at the next meeting if they really want to do that11:45
kwwiiand that I do not want to be responsible for that in any case11:46
_StefanS_kwwii: yes, fractals probably had their period in the 90's ;)11:46
_StefanS_kwwii: did you the the vplants collection posted on deviantart ? some of those pictures are truly amazing. Although digital photography dont seem popular for the kubuntu users (last time I asked ..)11:47
_StefanS_the/see11:47
kwwii_StefanS_: nope, didn't see that11:48
kwwiinaturally, I welcome any suggestions, help or anyone who wants to be responsible for this stuff :-)11:48
_StefanS_kwwii: well you ought to check it out then, I would bet there's a few candidates in there..11:49
kwwiimy contract no longer includes working on kubuntu, so I am doing this in my own time now11:49

_StefanS_Riddell: should be commited to bzr now.12:22
mhbbut it's not in the includes - not sure if it's because it's just a private kdesu class or because of some other thing12:23

Riddellsip4 merge looks all good13:20
ScottKI have a couple of things I want to work through on the python-qt4 one which will be easier to do reliably once I can get sip4 from the archive.13:21
ScottKThanks13:21
ScottKThe main thing the new python=qt4 does is support the newer qt4 (4.3.3).13:22

neversfeldeI made a mockup for the kubuntu.org design contest, but I am not sure how to upload it. Can somebody help me with that procedure20:59
ryanakcaneversfelde: sure21:06
ryanakcaneversfelde: are you at the wiki page?21:06
neversfeldeyes, I do not know how to "--export=<exportname>.png --export-width=500"21:07
ryanakcaneversfelde: okies, brb, mom is calling21:07
neversfelderyanakca: it's my first time using inkscape21:08
daviesneversfelde: inkscape --export=foo.png --export-width=500 file.svg21:08
ryanakcaneversfelde: ok, open up a terminal21:09
ryanakcaneversfelde: where did you save the file to?21:09
neversfeldethe svg is on the desktop21:10
neversfeldeI think I got it21:11
ryanakcaneversfelde: ok, open up a terminal and type `cd $HOME/Desktop`21:11
ryanakcaneversfelde: and the filename is?21:11

ryanakcaumm.. try closing it first and then typing this:21:12
ryanakcainkscape --export=Mockup3.png --export-width=500 Mockup3.svg21:13
neversfeldethat opened a smaller inkscape window with an empty page21:13
ryanakcahm... nevermind then, run your command again. Then go to File, export as BMP21:14
ryanakcaset the width to 500, and export it as Mockup3.png21:14
daviesnixternal: your mockup would make a great about:konq screen21:15
nixternalit is the about:konq screen P21:16
* ryanakca seconds21:16
nixternalerr, ;p21:16
neversfeldeok, I now have svg and png21:16
ryanakcalol21:16
nixternalI stole the idea from there21:16
ryanakcaneversfelde: ok, go to the wiki page : https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/WebsiteMockups21:16
ryanakcalog in...21:16
nixternalerr, s/stole/borrowed :)21:16
neversfelderyanakca: done21:16
neversfeldenow as attachement21:17
* davies wonders if he should link the mockup page from #kubuntu's topic21:17
ryanakcaneversfelde: weee :) ... just append it to the page now...21:17
ryanakcadavies: you should21:17
daviesI'm on it21:17
neversfelderyanakca: both files? And what is @SIG@?21:17
neversfeldeCan I send a comment?21:17
neversfeldemany questions ;)21:18
ryanakcaneversfelde: yes, and @SIG@ type it in as is, it'll put your forum name and the date at the end of the message.21:18
daviesryanakca: done21:18
* davies does the same for #kubuntu-es21:18
ryanakcadavies: thanks :)21:18
ryanakcaneversfelde: nice :)21:19
neversfeldemhh, I do not like wikis. It is without @SIG@21:20
ryanakcaneversfelde: what do you mean? Just put attachment:Mockup3.png        attachment:Mockup3.svg          @SIG@21:23
neversfelderyanakca: ok, now I understood that @SIG@ thing :D21:24
ryanakcalol :)21:24
nixternalryanakca: what was the decision on your initial mockup that you added tot he wiki? do we have to follow that one (ie. kind of follow ubuntu.com) or can we totally come up with something new?21:26
daviespersonally I don't like the ubuntu.com one21:27
nixternalme either21:27
nixternalit doesn't strike me as "professional" or "hey we do awesome software and are cool"21:27
daviesand ryanakca's one looks nice21:28
nixternalit is blank :)21:28
nixternalif we are talking about the same one21:28
ryanakcanixternal: all we have is that shape and the background from what I know. Other than that, we're free to do whatever we wish.21:29
nixternalneversfelde: I did one similar to the one you just posted on the wiki (which I do like btw), but was told it looked to much like Ubuntu's when I did it21:29
* nixternal finds it21:30
ryanakcaUnless Riddell doesn't mind if completely branch off the ubuntu.com one... kindof like xubuntu did21:30
nixternalhttp://www.nixternal.com/~rj/kubuntuwww1.png21:30
neversfeldeI think it should look like ubuntu. ubuntu.com is a clean and professional website. I like it21:30
ryanakcano offence the artist in question, but I really don't like the edubuntu site.21:30
nixternalI was thinking that "Kubuntu" is its own brand, so why should we have to follow? It is time we lead!21:31
nixternalthe edubuntu one is quite silly in konqi too21:31
ryanakcanixternal: and your opinion on www.kubuntu.org21:32
nixternaleww21:32
nixternal:p21:32
neversfeldenixternal: I like your version, I think you should upload it21:32
ryanakcaoops, xubuntu.org21:33
nixternalneversfelde: it is pretty much the same as yours...I see we have similar tastes :)21:33
* ryanakca is too used to typing kubuntu :P21:33
* nixternal looks at xubuntu21:33
nixternalactually, kubuntu.org isn't eww, but it reminds me of a blog almost21:33
neversfeldeKubuntus brand is KDE and especially KDE 4, the basis of KUbuntu is the same, so why not handle it as one trademark21:34
nixternalnot a fan of the xubuntu.org one either21:34
nixternalneversfelde: I was thinking very similar to that21:34
nixternalI had one that I thought was pretty cool a month or so back, but it got shot down kind of quickly21:34
neversfeldethat plasma idea is cool, maybe we can combine an ubuntu.com lookalike with plasma pictures21:35
ryanakcapitty the SUSE model is already taken :P21:35
ryanakcapersonally, of all the *buntu* sites, I like http://ubuntustudio.org/ best21:36
ryanakcahmmm... fluxbuntu.org comes in 2nd21:37
mhbI like the plasma borders idea, too.21:37
mhbtoo bad I cant get hacking on doing a theme based on it for Drupal right away21:38
mhbcurse those evil university exams.21:38
nixternalhehe21:38
ryanakcaheh, curse those evil high school exams... only one left :)21:39
daviescurse all examsn and homework21:39
mhbryanakca: well...21:39
mhbryanakca: I loved those21:39
ryanakcalol, in retrospect?21:39
neversfeldereminds me of final exams in july :(21:39
mhbryanakca: all I needed was taking a look at the information the night before21:40
mhbryanakca: but now I have to learn for like three days! Oh, the humanity...21:40
ryanakcamhb: yeah, but then you get French exams where you have to write an essay on the most random subject in an hour21:40
ryanakcalol21:40
ryanakcaeh, I'll get there someday :)21:40
ryanakca... two and a half years... *shudders*21:40
daviesfour years here21:41
ryanakcadavies: how old are you?21:42
daviesryanakca: 1621:42
ryanakcawow... your older than I am... but somehow you start uni after I do... what time does school finish in spain/UK?21:42
ryanakcas/time/year21:42
daviesI think the spanish system is one year behind, or something like that..21:43
ryanakcadavies: ah :)21:45
davies:)21:46
mhbYou know why I love open-source?21:49
nixternalyou want to see an awesome website? check out http://www.oxynation.com (warning: not safe for Linux (flash enabled))21:49
mhbbecause if I stuck with the other boring OSes, I would be disappointed that Vista bring nothing new for me and I am stuck with it for several years.21:49
mhbor Leopard, which is more accurate, as I am using OS X from time to time.21:50
mhbBut even though KDE4.0 is a lot disappointing, in 3 months it will be far more usable, in 6 months even more so... etc.21:50
mhb(for example the containment is really a boring idea IMHO)21:51
mhbwhat Id like to see is a fluent desktop, where there wont be any fixed size container, but you could arrange items like you arrange your desk, without really being limited by panels and stuff.21:51
* ryanakca nods21:55
ryanakcamhb: write one up :)21:55
nixternalthere is already one out there...I think there is a video of it on youtube21:55
nixternaland the idea behind it was to use the desktop like you would you desk21:56
mhbryanakca: well I guess plasma in 4.5 should be enough.21:56
mhbI have already removed the black ugly panel from KDE4.021:56
mhbthat is just a question of config file editing21:56
* blueyed wonders why gtk-qt-engine does not work by default, but after some hours it suddenly does.. (using firefox and thunderbird)21:57
blueyedWhen does 4.0.1 gets tagged?21:57
mhbdoes it work in KDE4?21:57
daviesblueyed: they're going for monthly releases21:58
tomablueyed: 30th21:59
mhbryanakca: I wish I had the time for it.22:01
mhbryanakca: for writing stuff I want22:01
mhbryanakca: but with every started project I should quit another one.22:01
smarterI've package the bespin Qt4 style(http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=kde4-style-bespin) but I can't compile it under hardy(works fine with gutsy)22:05
smarterI get errors like :"/tmp/buildd/kde4-style-bespin-0.1~svn080125/window.cpp:152: undefined reference to `XRenderComposite''22:05
smarterI use pbuilder to test my packages22:05
mhbundefined reference usually means there's something in the header files but a library (or a function in it) is missing22:07
mhbso it can be the linker forgetting a library OR it can be an incorrectly compiled package.22:08
mhbincorrectly meaning "not with all the features that are in the header files"22:08
