_MMA_SealV: bzr-svn is broken atm. That's why the package hasn't been updated. You can grab it from SVN and build yourself. Really easy.00:12
Cimidoes someone have tried the lpia packages for ubuntu?00:13
SealVum.. what lpia packages?00:20
CimiSealV, packages for intel atom00:20
SealVmy mum has a dell mini 9.. seems to be fine with the atom packages00:20
Cimithe thing is00:22
Cimido they perform better?00:23
Cimior they just save more power?00:23
SealVpower consumption yes, performance: I cant really tell00:24
SealVI imed my mom, seems that she hasnt really found a way to upgrade to 8.1000:29
Cimiadd support in synAPTIC00:29
SealVthere is a big bug with the installer not being able to find the kernel00:36
_MMA_andreasn: Is "text-x-generic-template" used for text files that get the preview text on them?13:15
andreasnhm, not sure, let me check13:16
_MMA_I just ran across the name in the FD spec. I didn't remember seeing it before.13:17
_MMA_andreasn: Any luck?13:41
andreasn__MMA_, oh, sorry, did I ping out13:42
andreasn_I think text-x-generic-template are for template files, like in Ooo or something13:42
andreasn_the one used for previews is text-x-preview13:42
_MMA_andreasn_: Is there anything else needed for the previews to work? Currently it looks like "text-x-preview" symlinks to "text-x-generic" but I get no preview text.13:44
andreasn_hm, it seems to work in gnome-icon-theme13:45
_MMA_andreasn_: For instance, there's a "text-x-preview.icon" in the Tango set.13:45
andreasn_hm, lets see what symlinks there are13:46
andreasn_gnome-fs-regular and gtk-file13:47
_MMA_yep13:47
andreasn_maybe dobey knows what voodoo that's needed13:47
_MMA_andreasn_: In #tango?13:48
andreasn_yes13:48
andreasn_or ubuntu-desktop13:48
_MMA_k13:49
andreasn_the text-x-preview-icon seems to tell what size the preview area will take up13:49
andreasn_so it won't look odd (just guessing really)13:49
_MMA_Looks that way.13:50
_MMA_brb13:51
_MMA_dashua: Can you try rev.10 on the Breathe packaging branch? I think I got everything set up final packaging-wise. I also got text previewing fixed for 48px and above icons.16:54
dashua_MMA_: Sure18:43
_MMA_cool18:43
dashuaBuilding now.18:45
dashuaAny decision on the power option icons?18:45
dashua_MMA_: Built and packaged with no issues.18:47
_MMA_dashua: Kinda leaving it up to Sebastien. Looks like he likes both sets. I like both as well. So I'll let him tinker a bit more (as I suspect he's doing) then we'll go from there. I'm guessing it will end up being the non-metal ones.18:47
_MMA_dashua: Please install and see if it renders the preview text on .text files correctly. 48px ans above.18:48
_MMA_*and18:48
dashuaMe too.  The metal icons are  cool, but may not be as easily themeable as the others.18:49
SealVwhat is a good way to make a gtk mockup?18:51
_MMA_SealV: Cut parts out from screenshots.18:52
SealVthanks18:52
thorwilSealV: depends on how close to something existing it shall be18:52
dashuaMan, ext4 boot fasts.18:53
SealVpretty close I think, I wan to make a pixbuf theme, but I want to make sure I see on paper what I see in my head18:53
dashuaboots*18:53
SealV*want18:53
thorwilSealV: as long as you mainly want to use already existing graphics, GIMP is a good choice18:54
thorwilSealV: but if you want to do a lot from scratch, Inkscape can be of advantage18:54
SealVI hate dealing with the gimp, honestly I need to install gimpshop18:54
thorwilpah, just reserve a workspace for gimp and use focus-follows-mouse with immediate auto-raise ;p18:57
SealVI have gone beyond that, I have the place plugin rule where the damn windows are placed.18:59
SealVmind you I have the place plugin define where most of my common programs spawn18:59

SealVLuzsans is a nice font, is there a licensing issue as to why it isnt in default ubu?20:49
lucazadeSealV: Luzsans looks nice.. didn't know it before21:14
lucazadesome glitches with bold fonts btw21:15
SealVagreed, but the medium is nice21:21
lucazadeno brainstorm idea about luzsans, maybe it could be a try21:27
SealVI suppose...21:30
SealVhonestly I have a lot of problems with the default fonts on ubu.21:31
SealVsize 10 fonts look way too big, it should be size 9 imo21:32
_MMA_SealV: Use Ubuntu Studio then. ;)21:32
lucazadeubuntu default is still not good enough.. better than in other distro but still not modern21:32
SealVand how is the fixed width font not Consolas?21:33
SealVI might MMA, I just might ;)21:33
_MMA_SealV: In Jaunty things are set to 8pt. 9pt for titlebar. If you do a install just pick the "desktop" task. But be warned, it doesn not come with the same default apps as Ubuntu. network-manager for instance.21:36
SealVnetwork-manager for instance21:36
SealVyou say it like its a bad thing21:36
SealVoh! I made a kde (read blue) version of sans sand.. not sure if I got the colors right though, would like some feedback..21:39
SealVhttp://img144.imageshack.us/img144/6329/kinter31bn6.png21:40
_MMA_I don't think missing network-manager is bad at all. It doesn't fit our targeted use-case. But for sure others will want it. So for them, yeah.  bad thing.21:40
_MMA_Nice21:41
SealVah. my mom for example hates wicd21:41
