owhI think it's all about "connecting". I have a client who runs a pig-farm. They run Ubuntu to do their day-to-day operations and love it. They know nothing about bugs, IRC or Ubuntu for that matter. I'm sure they'd like to understand a little more about this community.00:00
nxvli think we should move to #ubuntu-server00:00

KeybukRiddell, kwwii, mpt: ping14:02
kwwiihihi14:02
seb128kwwii: somebody has been faster than me to sponsor your artwork update apparently, or you got upload rights?14:02
Hobbseemust be the former, unless there's a quick way to upload rights now14:03
Riddellhi14:03
kwwiiseb128: apparantly pitti did it at 3:30 our time14:03
seb128Hobbsee: that was a way to ask who did the sponsoring ;-)14:03
Hobbsee:)14:04
Keybukok, we're mostly all here :-)14:04
Keybuklet's get going14:04
Keybukhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2008-04-1014:04
seb128kwwii: ok, what I though but you didn't cc him on the mail so I was not sure how he knew14:04
KeybukI didn't see any agenda items for this week's meeting, did I miss any?14:04
kwwiiseb128: yeah, I forgot that he is in America when I pinged him on chat14:04
kwwiiseb128: I thought he would miss it14:05
kwwiisorry for the confusion14:05
seb128no problem, one thing less to do I'll do complain ;-)14:05
KeybukI guess not14:05
seb128I read the mail at 3am before going to bed and I decided I worked way to late already and that I would do it today14:06
Keybukoutstanding actions from last week14:06
Keybuk    *14:06
Keybuk      pitti to disable gvfs libgphoto backend14:06
Keybuk    *14:06
Keybuk      seb128 to enable gvfs libarchive backend14:06
seb128and it was uploaded this morning ;-)14:06
seb128Keybuk: so I did drop the libgphoto backend14:06
Keybukok, great14:06
Keybukand the libarchive backend, did that get enabled?14:06
seb128and I did enable the gvfs libarchive backend (was already the case previous week), add the nautilus new menu item for it and dropped that change later14:07
Keybukcool14:07
seb128what I didn't think about was that most applications don't use gvfs yet14:07
seb128so they don't understand those new backends urls14:07
seb128which means you can browse but not open files there14:08
Keybukhmm, do you think that's an issue?14:08
seb128for users yes14:08
Keybukshould we disable it again until applications do use gvfs?14:08
seb128it's really confusing to be able to browse something but not to open anything there14:08
seb128that's what I did14:09
seb128"and dropped that change later"14:09
Keybukah, got it14:09
ted1But, its the same problem we've had with applications not using gnome-vfs for a long time.14:09
seb128now it's installed to /usr/share/doc/nautilus-data/examples/mount-archive.desktop14:09
seb128so whoever want it can just cp that to /usr/share/applications14:09
seb128easy to get but not on by default14:09
Keybukted1: true, but more apps use gnome-vfs I guess14:09
seb128seems a good deal to me14:09
Keybukok14:10
Keybukcool14:10
seb128ted1: well, I would be happy with gedit and eog working14:10
seb128which was the case for gnome-vfs14:10
seb128because people will expect to be able to open text files14:10
ted1And they aren't gvfs?14:10
seb128no14:10
seb128no application is using gvfs14:10
ted1Oh.14:10
=== mrevell-lunch is now known as mrevell
mvojust nautilus?14:11
seb128well, gvfs is used in nautilus yes14:11
seb128the fileselector and the panel uses it too14:11
seb128so mounted volumes, etc are coherent14:11
seb128but the desktop applications have not been ported to gvfs for data reading, etc yet14:12
seb128you don't notice that when using normal locations14:12
seb128because gnomevfs also understand file:, ssh:, etc14:13
Keybukok14:14
Keybukany other items before we move on to the regular bits?14:14
ted1seb128: Thanks.  Sucks, but good to know.14:14
kwwiiKeybuk: unless some more gdm theme suggestions come down the line the artwork is done I guess14:14
Keybukkwwii: I haven't had any feedback from Mark14:14
kwwiithe ubuntu chicken is cooked, so to speak14:15
mptmmm, chicken14:15
ted1Wouldn't the heron be cooked?14:15
* Keybuk briefly wonders what Heron tastes like14:15
seb128I'm not a big fan of the new gdm theme14:15
Keybukseb128: in what sense?14:15
seb128but artwork is always a matter of taste ;-)14:16
* Hobbsee wonders where screenshots would be.14:16
Hobbseeor download the source package?14:16
KeybukHobbsee: or run Hardy? :p14:16
seb128Keybuk: the colors are too "cold", not sure if that's the right word14:16
seb128it gives this metal feeling14:16
Keybukseb128: compared to Gutsy?14:16
seb128not very warm14:16
Keybukor compared to Ken's previous effort for Hardy14:16
kwwiiseb128: I thought about making it less glowy in the middle14:16
seb128not compared to something else14:16
HobbseeKeybuk: i do.  But i autologin for gdm, to cut down on the wait time (and password-protect the bios)14:16
kwwiiif I can still change it I will14:16
HobbseeKeybuk: i have been since pre-alpha1 :)14:16
seb128that's just looking at it doesn't give be a nice and warm feeling14:17
kwwiia little bit can't hurt :-)14:17
seb128but as said artwork is a matter of taste14:17
KeybukHobbsee: ah, I abandoned auto-login since I have to type password for gnome-keyring anyway14:17
seb128Keybuk: not true14:17
HobbseeKeybuk: you can set that to no p/w too.14:17
Hobbseeor otherwise get around it14:18
mptI'd like to know how :-)14:18
seb128Keybuk: but if you use an unprotected keyring you don't get gpg and ssh keyring storage though14:18
* Hobbsee only has to use a p/w for the gpg & ssh keys, now14:18
Keybukseb128: right, I use gpg and ssh storage14:18
Keybukdoes that mean you have to type a password the first time or every time for those?14:18
Hobbseeoh, maybe it was that i stored the network mangler password in cleartext, figuring that if they got past the bios password, there was more important stuff than the network key14:18
seb128mpt: after installation when it asks for a keyring password just enter none14:18
seb128it'll warn you about the lack of security and not store ssh keys etc14:19
seb128but that will make autologin and network manager works without asking for any password14:19
mptI already have a keyring, I've kept GPG and SSH keys in it since 2005, but it's only asked me for a password since November 200714:19
mptbut anyway, that's a bit off-topic14:19
Keybukseb128: but how do you then store GPG and SSH keys in it?14:20
seb128right14:20
Keybukor what happens to the ones already stored there?14:20
seb128Keybuk: you don't14:20
seb128hum, that's a good question14:20
Keybukso I'd have to enter a password every time I used gpg or ssh?14:20
seb128I didn't try to remove the password from a keyring which has some of those14:20
seb128yes14:20
Keybukbah :)14:20
Keybukisn't there a way to create a new keyring for gpg and ssh passwords that's locked? :p14:21
seb128you can create different keyrings yes, not sure if you can tell it to use those for the ssh agent for example though14:21
seb128anyway not really a meeting topic ;-)14:21
Keybukheh14:21
Keybukwho's upstream?14:21
seb128"Stef Walter"14:22
seb128not sure if he does IRC14:22
Keybukdon't think I know him14:22

seb128I think that's a good selection of things that need polish and work14:30
MacSlowseb128, you read it too?14:31
seb128Keybuk: oh, maybe the menus issue14:31
seb128MacSlow: read what? no I was speaking about the list of topics on the agenda14:31
Keybukseb128: I think that was under UI Cleanup?14:31
MacSlowseb128, ah alright14:31
seb128Keybuk: but not an another "how can we reduce the number of items there", we have one of those at every UDS14:32
Keybukok14:32
seb128Keybuk: well, I think we should rather thing about changing the menu approch, using the gnome-control-centre shell and do some work on it to get it good enough for that or something similar14:32
Keybukwill make sure that's in the list of sessions14:33
seb128s/thing/think14:33
seb128that's not something urgent, but we have menu issues for a while14:33
