apacheloggerin fact it does currently not even imply that one should get it into upstream first and then create a patch of the code included in upstream, which IMHO is a perferred work flow since upstream maintainers usually add some special extra that makes the feature faster or something09:18

apacheloggerthe code style in krandr is rather scary20:25

apacheloggerI am even less useful on a netbook :P21:23
DarkwingDuck:P21:23
Quintasanapachelogger: you should feel like you were poked with a stick very moment ago, what about those shlibs files?21:25
apacheloggerQuintasan: post0r your debian dir21:38
AzureDragonHello, I'm a student considering applying for the Google Summer of Code. For one of the Kubuntu-related projects I mean. I thought I'd come and say hi. :D21:39
Quintasanapachelogger: I copy pasted the libs from kexi.install to koffice-libs.install and it worked, but here, anyways -> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69524/koffice_2.1.81-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz21:41
apacheloggermh mh21:42
apacheloggerQuintasan: must go to koffice-libs because kexi depends koffice-libs, if they are in kexi then ko-libs depends kexi and kexi depends ko-libs21:43
apacheloggerhi AzureDragon21:43
AzureDragonapachelogger: hi21:43
Quintasanawesome21:43
QuintasanAzureDragon: \o21:44
apacheloggerQuintasan: on the other hand...21:44
apacheloggerQuintasan: something might be in ko-libs that does not belong there to begin with :P21:45
apacheloggerand that is the root of all this evil21:45
AzureDragonHey I was looking at the KPackageKit project proposal.., Does Kubuntu use the kPackageKit source from the KDE SVN? Or a modified version for Kubuntu?21:46
JontheEchidnaAzureDragon: It's the same as what's in kdesvn, with a few patches to integrate things such as our sources.list editor21:51
JontheEchidnaThough we are using KPK 0.5 rather than 0.6, since 0.6 is an API/ABI unstable version at the moment21:52
QuintasanAzureDragon: if you have access to lucid machine running lucid I'm sure you can do apt-get source kpackagekit and check things out21:52
Quintasanlucid machine running lucid :O21:52
Quintasanawesome error is awesome21:52
AzureDragonQuintasan: my main desktop is running Lucid. :)21:53
QuintasanAzureDragon: fabulous, so grab the source already and start hacking :P21:53
AzureDragonQuintasan: That was something else I was gonna ask. Is knowledge of Qt/C++ a requirement for doing a project like that one in GsoC? I haven't used ether (that being said, I do know how to program, and I am willing to learn as fast as necessary).21:55
QuintasanAzureDragon: I bet C++ and Qt will be required.21:56
QuintasanAfter all KDE is using Qt framework so...21:56
Quintasan:P21:56
QuintasanBut hey, cpp + qt = magic, you can work on killer apps like Digikam or Choqok21:57
AzureDragonI might not stand much of a chance of getting in then. =O21:57
QuintasanI'm just learning on my own pace, I have school, social life (yeah, sometimes it happens  :D) so I'd rather not spent ALL my time on cpp :P21:58
Quintasanat my own pace*21:59
AzureDragon=)21:59
AzureDragonWell, if no-one ends up doing a GsoC project involveing KPackageKit, I may try to controbute over the summer anyhow. =)22:02
amichairIs there a GUI expert in the house? Or someone familiar with ubiquity?22:40
amichairor anyone who knows the reason behind the size of the progressbar? http://imagebin.ca/view/GGeqBQ.html22:42
Quintasanamichair: I think for GUI things you can ask seele22:42
amichairseele: ^^ any thoughts on this?22:44
DarkwingDuckwoah...22:47
rgreeningnixternal: could yo ulook into this bug report? bug 55534922:50

larsivihave anyone seen the plymouth theme with a radeon HD card?22:53
larsiviI've yet to see it at least :P22:53
DarkwingDuckI can't get it to work on either of my computers... Intel card and Nvidea card23:00
DarkwingDuckWell, I'm finally setting up filters for my email23:02
seeleamichair: wow.. how did you get the progress bar to do 59% at the first step? did you go backwards after getting so far?23:33
seeleamichair: i think the point is to show you how far you are through the configuration process, although the navigation on the left hand side sortof do that for you already23:33
seeleinstead of percentage maybe it should say step 9 of 15 complete or something23:34
amichairseele: oh not exactly - I just played around with it to get a snapshot23:34
amichairit's not the overall progress, it's the progress of individual little steps along the way23:34
seelethe combination of all the steps overall, no?23:35
amichairhere's another phase: http://imagebin.ca/view/CQ37320D.html23:35
Riddellno that's the progress of loading the new step23:35
amichaire.g., if u click 'update this installer', the progressbar appears and goes from empty to full23:35
Riddellamichair: what's the problem?23:35
seeleoooooh23:35
seeleis that the downloading updates thing?23:36
amichairif it updates from the timeserver, it appears and goes again. it disappears in between23:36
Riddellno, it's a progress bar while each page is loading23:36
Riddellit's all shtylman's doing23:36
seeleoh, then i have no idea23:36
seelewhy would you need to know the status of each page loading?23:36
seeleshouldnt it be rendering in a few miliseconds?23:37
Riddelljust something to look at, else it's unresponsive for several seconds23:37
amichairRiddell: the problem is both the bug in the last link above23:37
Riddellcan take 10 seconds to load those pages, debconf isn't fast23:37
Riddellamichair: file a bug, assign to shtylman23:37
seelethen the loading progress should be in the middle of the page that is loading not up in the corner23:37
amichairwhich I can fix by making it take up the full width - it's just that it's so unusual, I assume there's some reason behind it...23:38
seelei hadnt noticed it.. id idnt realise what hta twas for, heh23:38
Riddellno paticular reason, he just replaced the normal progress bar dialogue with that new progress bar one day, caused a few coding headaches along the way23:38
amichairseele: It's not exactly the page loading progress. it's more like sub-tasks in between that aren't instantanious provide the progress so the user will know why it's 'stuck'23:39
* daskreech prefers the loading in the corner like as web page23:40
amichairnow that I got the screenshot, I also notice the midget skip button...23:40
DarkwingDuckhmmm, this is interesting... In Kmail when I move a message to another folder it makes a blank unknown message in the inbox... Anyone know why?23:41
amichairdaskreech: a progressbar is more informative, if percentage info is calculable... and it also says what it's doing (well not in the first screenshot, but in some of them)23:41
daskreechamichair: That was in response to seele saying the progress should be in the middle of the page23:41
amichairseele: So, I can't make it full width either (because it bumps into the title text) - so just enlarge it more to the left?23:43
amichairdaskreech: ah, ok. In this case it doesn't replace the page content anyway, so it will stay on top, I guess.23:44
amichairRiddell: on a related note, there's the other progressbar, of actual installation progress - You and I both opened bugs on the wierd 'skip' button that appears occasionally at the bottom and messes up the layout too23:45
amichairRiddell: what does that 'skip' do anyway? when I tried clicking it, the whole installer disappeared.23:45
seelehow long does it take to load a page? why not use the little spinner instead of a progress bar23:46
Riddellyes, could be a papercut that23:46
Riddellseele: 3 to 10 seconds I'd guess23:46
seelei dont see what value is provided by showing a straight bar with a percentage.. especailly for every page23:46
seelegeez that is a long freaking time23:46
seeleis that on average/slower systems? i dont remember it taking that long for me23:47
amichairseele: again, it's not exactly a page load. It's tasks that need to be performed in between. downloading installer updates, getting time from timeserver, and some other stuff. the text on the progress changes accordingly too.23:47
Riddellwell 10 seconds for the partitoner page when you have several disks23:48
seelewhy are the installer updates being downloaded between each page?23:48
Riddellthey aren't23:48
amichairyeah, that too - 'detecting filesystems' or whatever it says... those kinds of tasks23:48
amichairthe updates are if u click 'update this installer' in welcome page. it doesn't actually go to a different page, just does it's thing, and when it's finished, the 'update' link disappears.23:49
seelewhatever piece of information is missing , that ui block should be replaced with the progress indicator with a label that says what it is doing23:49
amichairI actually opened a bug on that too, I think it should be part of the wizard process - maybe a checkbox for updating, followed by a 'next'.23:50
seelei still think a spinner is better, the percentage bar isn't telling me anything because the procedures are micro steps23:50
seeleif there is only one step -- e.g. getting the time from the timeserver -- all the steps inbetween dont matter to me so i dont need to know the progress. only that it is doing something23:50
amichairseele: the first screenshot indeed doesn't say what it's doing - that's a bug. other tasks (like the second image) do23:50
amichairHere's how it looks when updating installer: http://imagebin.ca/view/mT3BikG.html23:53
seeleyeah, i dunno. how much can we change now anyway? it's my fault for not paying attention to it earlier23:53
ScottKSince it's post-U/I freeze you'd need to get nixternal to bless any changes and update screenshots.23:55
seeleafter convincing shtylman that they should be done23:56
seelei fail23:56
