| darkmatter | http://jimmac.musichall.cz/themesets.php <-- LOL... I love the 'less saturated' desciption for the SLE 11 theme. I'd call that 'more' saturated | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| popey | I am of course in danger of asking a FAQ - has the dark "new human" theme been dropped? My intrepid no longer seems to have it, and I can't find it via a search of the repo.. | 13:48 |
| kwwii | popey: nope, it just got renamed to DarkRoom | 13:59 |
| kwwii | we did that to confuse you | 13:59 |
| kwwii | (in addition to the fact that the old name was stupid) | 13:59 |
| kwwii | I should have renamed it to übermensch perhaps | 14:00 |
| kwwii | there will be another update either today or tomorrow in which the tabs have more contrast, btw | 14:00 |
| popey | ah thanks | 14:07 |

| Guest85856 | I'm trying to do a modified Kubuntu version to write LaTeX live. | 19:31 |
| Guest85856 | Do I need to modify all Kubuntu artwork in order to make clear this is not a official Ubuntu release if I want to distribute it? | 19:31 |
| Guest85856 | If this is the case, are there precise directives on which files I should modify? __________________ | 19:31 |
| kwwii | Guest85856: not sure I get what you eman | 19:50 |
| kwwii | mean | 19:50 |
| Guest85856 | well, I started from a Kubuntu | 19:51 |
| Guest85856 | and modified something here and there | 19:51 |
| Guest85856 | now before distributing it | 19:51 |
| Guest85856 | I'd like to know what artwork should be removed | 19:52 |
| Guest85856 | to avoid trademark problems | 20:00 |
| kwwii | hrm, I am not sure exactly how the rules are in this case...let me ask a couple of people | 20:19 |
| kwwii | Guest85856: this might take a bit to figure out...have you tried asking on #kubuntu-devel? | 20:24 |
| Guest85856 | no, i'll try there, thank you | 20:34 |
| kwwii | how do you want to distribute it? | 20:34 |
| kwwii | you won't be allowed to use the logo with or without the name, that much is clear | 20:35 |
| Guest85856 | yes, this is clear | 20:35 |
| kwwii | really, the main things that say kubuntu in kubuntu are the menu and the default webpage | 20:35 |
| Guest85856 | but where are hidden all the logos? | 20:35 |
| kwwii | the menu pic, I mean | 20:35 |
| kwwii | kds | 20:35 |
| Guest85856 | ok | 20:35 |
| kwwii | kubuntu-default-settings | 20:35 |
| kwwii | it is a package which does all the branding | 20:35 |
| kwwii | the usplash has a logo as well | 20:36 |
| Guest85856 | sure | 20:36 |
| Guest85856 | then there is the fact that many files have name containing *buntu, not to mention the packages version | 20:36 |
| kwwii | if you go through kubuntu-default-settings package and replace everything you find there it should be pretty close to everything | 20:37 |
| kwwii | oh, the package names is not a problem | 20:37 |
| kwwii | s/is/are | 20:37 |
| kwwii | I assume that you will make a package which over-rides the settings and conffiles in k-d-s | 20:37 |
| kwwii | or make another package like kds with your stuff in it and install that instead | 20:37 |
| kwwii | naturally, all your packages would have the name you pick for your variant | 20:38 |
| Guest85856 | sure | 20:39 |
| Guest85856 | but there are a lot of default packages that I do not plan to replace | 20:39 |
| Guest85856 | anyway, I'll try kds | 20:40 |
| Guest85856 | thank you | 20:40 |
| Guest85856 | I guess this debranding stuff may take more than making the actual distro... :( | 20:41 |
| kwwii | lol, only if you are not an artist :p | 20:42 |
| kwwii | if you don't replace anything, why make your own stuff? | 20:42 |
| Guest85856 | I realized that there are no live distro which allow you to write in LaTeX | 20:43 |
| Guest85856 | so I tried to make one, and this was pretty simple | 20:43 |
| kwwii | well, if you have a livecd with a text editor you can do that...or do you mean the tools to actually produce/print stuff from it? | 20:43 |
| Guest85856 | yer you cannot compile LaTeX from the live cd | 20:44 |
| kwwii | right, that is what I meant | 20:44 |
| Guest85856 | moreover you don't have editors specific for latex | 20:44 |
| kwwii | so you add gs and such | 20:44 |
| Guest85856 | yes | 20:44 |
| Guest85856 | and some service menus | 20:44 |
| kwwii | so do you add emacs? | 20:44 |
| Guest85856 | and some other tools | 20:44 |
| Guest85856 | plus some guides | 20:45 |
| Guest85856 | no, I used Kile and TeXmaker | 20:45 |
| kwwii | and how do you fit all that on a livecd? | 20:45 |
| kwwii | yeah, I forgot about teXmaker | 20:45 |
| Guest85856 | removing everything which wasn't needed for writing LaTeX :) | 20:45 |
| kwwii | hehe, cool | 20:45 |
| Guest85856 | I mean, it is meant to be used live if you are on somebody's else pc | 20:46 |
| kwwii | there really isn't too much to do, as most of it is really simple | 20:46 |
| Guest85856 | indeed | 20:46 |
| kwwii | the usplash is probably the hardest part | 20:46 |
| Guest85856 | yeah, I need to design a proper logo | 20:46 |
| Guest85856 | anyway, thank you for your suggestion :) | 20:47 |
| kwwii | glad to help | 20:48 |
| kwwii | you might get someone to help you...send an email to the mailing list | 20:48 |
| Guest85856 | ok, I tried IRC first since it is more immediate | 20:50 |
| kwwii | sure, and it is the best place to start | 20:50 |
