| davmor2 | lool: I've been thinking about what sabdfl was saying about the installer not being obvious. Is there not a way to make it's icon larger than the others, so it's more obvious? | 11:53 |
|---|---|---|
| lool | davmor2: Not that I know of, this would need a new feature; you should bring it up with UNR folks | 11:54 |
| lool | njpatel: ^ | 11:54 |
| lool | StevenK: ^ | 11:54 |
| lool | bfiller isn't around yet (too early on east coast) | 11:54 |
| njpatel | lool: davmor2: yes, that would be a new feature | 11:55 |
| njpatel | (and not an easy one atm) | 11:56 |
| davmor2 | njpatel: Just thinking out aloud | 11:56 |
| gywst | any ubuntu netbook docs for n00bs? | 11:56 |
| njpatel | davmor2: sure, and it's appreciated :) | 11:57 |
| davmor2 | njpatel: out of interest why do you have xournal and gedit in unr. xournal I'm guessing is a touch screen app which doesn't work with a touch pad so kinda make it useless on netbooks | 11:58 |
| lool | njpatel: What about the Quit... entry? I know it isn't there in UNR 1, but it would seem like a nice place to hook install O:-) | 11:59 |
| davmor2 | only spoted post beta | 11:59 |
| lool | err s/UNR 1/UNR +1 | 11:59 |
| lool | gywst: What topic? check help.ubuntu.com perhaps? | 12:00 |
| davmor2 | lool: have the whole of the top bar as install :) | 12:00 |
| njpatel | lool: do you mean above the quit.. button? | 12:00 |
| njpatel | lool: can the live-cd have a different gconf set-up than the normal install? | 12:01 |
| njpatel | (i may have a crafty plan) | 12:01 |
| persia | njpatel, It certainly can. The fact that "Install" appears in Favorites at all is part of the live CD hacks. | 12:04 |
| lool | njpatel: yes | 12:04 |
| lool | The only thing I fear is UI freeze | 12:04 |
| davmor2 | lool: If it makes it more obvious on how to install I'm sure it will get granted all be it kickin' and screamin' | 12:06 |
| lool | njpatel: Any idea why update-manager isn't maximized? wrong window type? | 14:38 |
| lool | njpatel: Cause after alt-F10 it looks decent | 14:38 |
| lool | even on a tiny screen | 14:38 |
| njpatel | lool: it's probably in maximus's exception list | 14:39 |
| lool | njpatel: Ok; it's not along totem and cheese in the gconf overrides though | 14:39 |
| njpatel | lool: maximus has an in-built exception list | 14:39 |
| lool | Aha | 14:39 |
| njpatel | lool: which probably needs to be transferred to gconf | 14:39 |
| njpatel | :-/ | 14:39 |
| njpatel | it worked for oem, but I think we get bitten by it in normal installs | 14:40 |
| lool | njpatel: If you can quickly confirm that this exception isn't needed anymore, or if there's another reason to blacklist it that I should now about, I'm happy to hear | 14:40 |
| lool | normal installs? | 14:40 |
| njpatel | normal installs != intrepid/jaunty installs | 14:40 |
| njpatel | oem images | 14:40 |
| njpatel | lool: does update-manager look/work okay when maximised? | 14:40 |
| njpatel | lool: I think I should make a default_exceptions gconf key which has those apps in the maximus schema, and then users at least have the option to remove those apps that they want maximised | 14:43 |
| njpatel | the current way sucks for users | 14:44 |
| lool | njpatel: sorry was in meeting | 15:06 |
| njpatel | np | 15:07 |
| lool | njpatel: update-manager looks ok when maximized here, perhaps it's best if you confirm yourself though | 15:07 |
| lool | njpatel: nothing urgent however | 15:07 |
| lool | njpatel: it's just that your eye is trained to what could go wrong ;-) | 15:07 |
| njpatel | will do :) | 15:07 |
| lool | njpatel: I think gconf keys are nice for customizations like OEM versus Ubuntu, but we should avoid a plethora of keys for end users | 15:08 |
| lool | But in this case it sounds good to have one | 15:08 |
| njpatel | lool: i agree, but I think it works for this issue | 15:08 |
| lool | Yeah | 15:08 |
| njpatel | cool, I'll add it to my todo list | 15:09 |
| lool | njpatel: thanks a lot | 15:11 |
| njpatel | np, and btw, thanks for the triaging help on the UNR bugs, it's appreciated | 15:16 |
| lool | Oh I'm not really triaging, just giving a hand on issues I can solve quickly / easily | 15:17 |
| njpatel | either way, it helps me out :) | 15:18 |
| lool | njpatel: apw's kernel fixes the eeepc slowness for me | 15:34 |
| lool | plars: ^ | 15:34 |
| plars | lool: cool | 15:36 |
| njpatel | lool: awesome, I was going to try it out later on today too | 15:36 |
| plars | lool: I thought I just saw a post in that bug from someone else saying it didn't work though | 15:36 |
| plars | lool: I may have misread it though... just caught a quick glance from email while I was working on something else | 15:37 |
| lool | plars: That other person mentions improvement but has to disable a specific feature which I don't about | 15:51 |
