[17:05] how do I learn how to post to the mailing list? [17:07] SealV: well, there's surely something about that in the wiki, but i might be able to help you [17:07] SealV: what is the problem? are you subscribed? [17:08] I am subscribed, and I get the list compact, I just dont really know how to post [17:09] SealV: you post by maling to [17:10] does that start a new topic? if so how can I reply to a topic in progress? [17:10] SealV: i strongly suggest that you switch off the digest mode, as you can't reply properly in threads with it [17:11] SealV: that would start a new topic, yes [17:12] turned off digest [17:12] SealV: which mail client do you use? [17:12] just gmail [17:13] I was thinking about setting up thunderbird though [17:16] <_MMA_> SealV: If you use Gmail, *please* don't top-post. I use Gmail with Thunderbird just fine. [17:17] I am guessing top-posting is creating useless new topics right? Setting up t-bird... [17:17] _MMA_: a while ago i saw someone in the forum stating how hard to read mailing lists are due to all the again-and-again-quoted text :} [17:18] SealV: no, top posting means putting your answer above the text you refer to [17:18] <_MMA_> http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists/etiquette#head-c70bc55ce24849bd82885e8b0f7e972465944b5a [17:18] ah [17:18] <_MMA_> thorwil: That's to do with people not editing things down to the text they are replying to. [17:18] * _MMA_ shrugs. [17:19] _MMA_: really? my point was rather how a bad example leads to a bad impression for a user who never saw how it should be [17:21] jaunty final should have color changing wall. [17:22] <_MMA_> Call me an old grouchy guy, but it's up to them to get with how things are. If they don't like ML formatting, use the forums. I know Studio maintains a presence on all 3 for this reason. (ML, forum, IRC) [17:22] yah, because it's too easy to make a good static wallpaper enough people like [17:23] <_MMA_> SealV: In my experiments, it's been pretty CPU intensive. [17:23] <_MMA_> (while the fade happens) [17:26] I have always wondered about that thorwil, why cant we just put up a poll in the forum and have everyone vote [17:26] top 2 make it in or whatever [17:26] <_MMA_> SealV: On what? Final wallpaper? Because it's a Canonical decision. [17:26] ah. didn't know that [17:27] <_MMA_> It could however work for what goes into the community package. [17:27] i have zero faith in the sum of people subscribed to the art mailing list [17:27] I think it would be a good idea for the community package. [17:29] <_MMA_> thorwil: It's a shame for sure, but I think all the people who have a clue know each other and give weight to those opinions. [18:15] from now on I am only responding to any question with "me too!" [18:17] me too! [18:21] *exactly* [18:39] kwwii: why is that, me too? [18:42] hi [18:43] im using arch linux now, but i like ubuntu theme so i copied ubuntu theme to arch linux [18:43] everythink is almost great, except some icons are still missing like sound file icon, or appearance icon [18:44] is there any way to have these icons on my arch linux? [18:45] huh? isnt a gnome theme a gnome theme? what are you using for a DE? [18:45] <_MMA_> Nece228: Human icons depend on GNOME set. [18:45] i copied icons from ubuntu intrepid, and i have 2.24 version in arch too [18:46] thats quite strange [18:46] copy over the gnome set as well [18:46] ok, i will try [18:47] because now i cant restart my pc [18:48] do REISUB [18:48] or ctrl alt backspace [18:49] well, i need to boot ubuntu 8.10 live cd and copy icons from live cd to arch linux partition [18:49] wait hold on I can up it for you [18:50] thanks but my connection is slow [18:50] k then [18:52] 128 kbps
