[17:32] <FLOZz> Hello all  _o/
[18:18] <mac_v> mat_t: nice much better color than the first ... :) ug #412152
[18:21] <mac_v> oops! ugly ending to the line!
[18:37] <mat_t> mac_v: thanks!
[18:37]  * mat_t -> home
[18:37] <mat_t> have a great weekend guys, thanks again for your work!
[20:45] <tretle> Whats the status of the gdm theme which has been proposed for karmic here -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/Demo
[20:45] <tretle> ?
[21:29] <tretle> getting an error when trying to configure from source -> http://pastebin.com/m3e752db1
[21:31] <tretle> whoops
[21:31] <tretle> wrong channel
[22:58] <tretle> hmmm... less people than usual here
[22:59] <ckontros> Ebb and flow.
[23:32] <tretle> hey - kwwii - you there?
[23:32] <ckontros> tretle: He's away with limited connectivity.
[23:33] <tretle> ah, ok
[23:33] <tretle> ckontros - you wouldn't happen to know whether the new gdm has any work done it other than the mockup?
[23:33] <tretle> this one - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/Demo
[23:36] <ckontros> tretle: New GDM is there and functional but looks nothing like that. (last I looked)
[23:37] <ckontros> I fried my VM install.
[23:37]  * ckontros starts a new install.
[23:37] <tretle> Yeah, I have had to reinstall 9.10 several times now but I like it thus far
[23:38] <tretle> interested to test that theme shown in the mockups, wondering whether its even possible to implement with the current gdm
[23:39] <tretle> and hoping it doesnt turn out like macslows attempt or lack of.
[23:39] <ckontros> AFAIK, no. It gets its background and "computer" images from gconf keys. Basically, the default background and icon set.
[23:40] <ckontros> tretle: Don't down MacSlow. Trust me, his hands are tied.
[23:42] <tretle> I 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 mockups
[23:42] <ckontros> In any event, it's a colossal fail. Total lack of design creativity.
[23:43] <ckontros> tretle: 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.
[23:47] <tretle> he did design a new gdm some time ago
[23:47] <tretle> such a long time ago that they redrafted the same project in launchpad
[23:48] <ckontros> /a/ is not /the/
[23:49] <ckontros> I 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] <tretle> well he told me he needed to design a new greeter for the new gdm before he could start work on the theme
[23:50] <tretle> but that he had to wait for the new gdm to be packaged for ubuntu
[23:53] <tretle> I 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 sour
