tretlegetting an error when trying to configure from source -> http://pastebin.com/m3e752db121:29
tretlewhoops21:31
tretlewrong channel21:31
tretlehmmm... less people than usual here22:58
ckontrosEbb and flow.22:59
tretlehey - kwwii - you there?23:32
ckontrostretle: He's away with limited connectivity.23:32
tretleah, ok23:33
tretleckontros - you wouldn't happen to know whether the new gdm has any work done it other than the mockup?23:33
tretlethis one - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/Demo23:33
ckontrostretle: New GDM is there and functional but looks nothing like that. (last I looked)23:36
ckontrosI fried my VM install.23:37
* ckontros starts a new install.23:37
tretleYeah, I have had to reinstall 9.10 several times now but I like it thus far23:37
tretleinterested to test that theme shown in the mockups, wondering whether its even possible to implement with the current gdm23:38
tretleand hoping it doesnt turn out like macslows attempt or lack of.23:39
ckontrosAFAIK, no. It gets its background and "computer" images from gconf keys. Basically, the default background and icon set.23:39
ckontrostretle: Don't down MacSlow. Trust me, his hands are tied.23:40
tretleI am not downing him, I am merely pointing out that the majority of projects he starts never see the light of day... I think they are freaking cool but feel burned at waiting for so long for things like the new gdm and sparkle etc when nothing gets released other than mockups23:42
ckontrosIn any event, it's a colossal fail. Total lack of design creativity.23:42
ckontrostretle: He didnt design new GDM. And other things are stuff he just tinkers with. He's got alot going on and things he gets paid for take priority.23:43
tretlehe did design a new gdm some time ago23:47
tretlesuch a long time ago that they redrafted the same project in launchpad23:47
ckontros/a/ is not /the/23:48
ckontrosI had chats with him at UDS about what artists could do with it. I asked for this and that. He said it wasn't up to him.23:49
tretlewell he told me he needed to design a new greeter for the new gdm before he could start work on the theme23:49
tretlebut that he had to wait for the new gdm to be packaged for ubuntu23:50
tretleI just find that a bit odd, I mean If I was hired by a company to work on user interface elements and I had a project that needed completion but the package required was not packaged I would either build from source or dual boot into another distribution which had it packaged so that I could work with it straight away so by the time it is packaged for my distribution my project could take advantage of it. I mean you need to compile the gdm from sour23:53
