macvrdjsiegel_: coudl you edit the wiki, to add that hardware specific issues are not part of the papercuts?15:05
macvrcould^15:05
djsiegel_well, harware specific issues are usually not easy to fix, and do not affect most users15:05
djsiegel_you need more reason than that?15:05
djsiegel_or just a specific mention?15:05
macvrjust a mention in the wiki...15:05
macvrpeople have reported , webcam/graphics/audio cards!15:06
macvrjust increases the workload :(15:06
macvrdjsiegel_: they just add that this has affected several users in ubuntuforums!15:07
djsiegel_oh come on15:07
djsiegel_just say, this does not afect the average user because the average user doesn't have your webcam/graphics/audiocard15:08
macvrthat is a common line in most of the descriptions 15:08
macvri just mention that since its hardware specific , its not papercut15:08
lamalexi think the problem is that people dont know what usability means15:09
lamalex"i use it, so it's usability"15:09
macvr^ +!15:09
lamalex"my webcam doesnt work- i can't use it! it's not usable!15:09
macvrthere are so many of those... some even add, "since i'v seen this initiative , i think this is my only chance" ... i feel bad to invalidate those :(15:11
ScottKFundamentally there is a lot more stuff broken than we have developers, so most of these issues don't get dealt with.  Generally the best we can do is upstream the bug and hope they deal with it.15:25
macvrdjsiegel_: what previous bug is he talking about? https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/38854616:33
djsiegel_macvr:  ignore Kirk Fraser16:34
macvrquite a friendly guy :p16:34
djsiegel_macvr: he is not an Ubuntu user, he is a troll, and I am pretty sure he spam filters all launchpad email16:35
SiDiMacSlow: ping ?17:12
MacSlowSiDi, hey what's up?17:12
SiDifine17:12
SiDiI wanted to ask you, when will we actually be able to change notify-osd's colours ?17:12
SiDithere are users that complain because they _cant_ read white on black17:12
MacSlowSiDi, you have to get that to the design folks... not me17:14
SiDioh17:14
SiDihm who is it again ? :P17:14
MacSlowSiDi, e.g. mat_t, djsiegel_, mpt, ivanka17:15
SiDiokey17:15
SiDibut is there any restriction in the moment that would prevent it ?17:15
SiDiis it easy for you to implement theming in notify-osd ?17:15
MacSlowno17:15
MacSlowtheming is never easy17:15
artirthis is awesome-> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec17:16
artir:)17:16
MacSlowSiDi, side-effects are numerous17:16
MacSlowSiDi, the more freedom you want in theming the more complex it gets to implement that17:16
SiDiMacSlow: what side effects should be expected if we just allow picking a different bg and text colour ? not changing the size / font / style, just colors ?17:17
SiDiapart from cleverasses choosing grey on grey, of course17:17
MacSlowSiDi, very briefly I wanted to do notify-osd in pure gtk, but that did not allow the flexibility needed to implement all the spacing and layout requirements from the spec17:17
MacSlowSiDi, _if_ it would only be that it would be easy... just add two additional gconf-keys17:18
MacSlowSiDi, but then you introduce headaches in the update/upgrade migration process17:18
SiDiMacSlow: thats what i'm asking for. There are people who have visual defficiencies and who suffer from reading on black backgrounds17:18
MacSlowSiDi, it's not really my decision17:19
SiDiI understand that17:19
SiDii'll mail ayatana then about this issue17:19
MacSlowSiDi, best approach for sure17:19
macvrdjsiegel_: hi... busy?19:03
djsiegel_macvr: what's up?19:31
djsiegel_just got back from lunch19:31
macvrdjsiegel_: nothing much but... i wanted your opinion on this> https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/367626 < be warned it is something i had filed 19:32
macvri found the same behavior in Karmic exists, hibernate doesnt ask for confirmation still!19:33
djsiegel_hmm19:33
djsiegel_well, the argument is that hibernate is non-destructive, Ibet19:34
macvrshall i nuke it?19:34
rgreeningkwwii: ping20:52
kwwiirgreening: pong21:41
rgreeninghey man. Want to help create an appropriate icon for usb-creator-kde?21:42
kwwiirgreening: sure, I imagine I can help...I made the oxygen usb device icon as well :p21:42
rgreeningkwwii: here's the original gtk one: http://imagebin.ca/view/9qaxEYqp.html21:43
kwwiirgreening: in fact, I am giving a chat on making an oxygen icon sunday night, perhaps I could use this as an example21:43
rgreeningcool21:43
kwwiigtk? gtk? we don't need no stinking gtk!21:44
rgreeninglol21:44
kwwiihehe, I will make something21:44
rgreeningkwwii: here's my weak attempt... http://imagebin.ca/view/BdG-M6p.html21:44
rgreeningOf course, not oxygenized :)21:44
kwwiito be honest, it would be better to put it on a stick instead of a hard-disk, or?21:44
rgreeningYeah.21:44
rgreeningSounds good21:44
kwwiiwell, we definitely don't want to use the human icon for this21:44
kwwiionly the oxygen style21:45
rgreeningyep. I assume in svg?21:45
kwwiiyes, everything is done in svg (well, at least the first steps)21:45
rgreeningcool. 21:46
rgreeningty.21:46
kwwiigive me a day or two and I'll get back to you21:46
rgreeningnp21:46

rgreeningIm usingmy crappy one for now. :)21:46
rgreeningok. cool stuff21:46
kwwiiit is a good place-holder and makes sure nobody forgets :)21:47
kwwiithe ubuntu icon is pretty crappy, really21:47
kwwiiproving that I don't do this stuff enough21:47
kwwiior it would bug me and I would fix it :p21:47
kwwiiI used to use the usb creator a lot when I had a mobile device from canonical but since they took it back there is no reason to sue it21:48
kwwiiuse21:48
kwwiianyway21:48
kwwiiI will be in touch21:48
ScottKkwwii: But now you'll be able to use it to install KDE on the device you don't have, so it's much better.21:48
kwwiilol, no doubt21:48
macvrkwwii: how was Transformers?21:50
kwwiimacvr: my son is only 11 and they wouldn't let him in :p22:01
kwwiipg in bavaria is a bit different than anywhere else22:01
