| bilalakhtar | The recent ubuntu.com update with Maverick posts puts one sentence right on the home page, which is: | 13:53 |
| bilalakhtar | Try Ubuntu today | 13:53 |
| bilalakhtar | which makes it seem that Ubuntu is actually shareware or stuff! | 13:53 |
| sense | bilalakhtar: Have you asked in #ubuntu-website? | 13:57 |
| bilalakhtar | sense: okay, doing that | 13:58 |

| Paddy_NI | Hey I am curious to know if any of the maverick goodies such as multi-touch support, indicator-appmenu and unity are being backported to lucid or if there is an updated ppa? | 18:32 |
| Paddy_NI | Not so much multitouch here I guess | 18:32 |
| sense | Paddy_NI: New functionality doesn't get backported to previous releases. | 18:37 |
| sense | Especially not such fundamental additions as Unity, multi-touch and the AppMenu. | 18:38 |
| Paddy_NI | Oh I thought canonical had taken a slightly different stance on that | 18:38 |
| Paddy_NI | I must be wrong | 18:38 |
| Paddy_NI | how about an updated ppa? | 18:38 |
| sense | Paddy_NI: Maybe there are some PPAs containing experimental packages for previous releases, but there will never be official support. | 18:38 |
| Paddy_NI | not looking for official support | 18:39 |
| Paddy_NI | :) | 18:39 |
| sense | Paddy_NI: you could have been confused by the policy for Firefox, if I'm correct that does get major updates. | 18:39 |
| Paddy_NI | to a degree yes | 18:39 |
| mgunes | is there no way to pin notes with the Tomboy indicator? | 20:39 |
| sense | mgunes: It isn't possible with what Application Indicators can do. | 20:41 |
| jcastro | mgunes: known limitation I'm afraid, we're still trying to figure out how to make it suck less | 20:44 |
| mgunes | I couldn't find a spec for the indicator; what logic is used for grouping the notes in the menu? | 20:45 |
| sense | mgunes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators | 20:46 |
| mgunes | sense, I'm aware of that; I was asking about the Tomboy implementation specifically. | 20:47 |
| sense | ah, there is probably no spec of that, but there ought to be a bug report somwhere | 20:47 |
| jcastro | http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/849115946/quicklists is the best I can do | 20:47 |
| sense | mgunes: bug #497058 | 20:48 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 497058 in tomboy (Ubuntu) "Support application indicator (affected: 2, heat: 16)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/497058 | 20:48 |
| mgunes | it seems to be dividing notes into three groups; I'm trying to figure out the logic according to which it does that. | 20:48 |
| Omega | Congratz on the release guys. | 20:49 |
| jcastro | right, the problem is that the app indicator doesn't have support for the pins and other cool UI an app like tomboy wants | 20:49 |
| sense | mgunes: The branch with the patch should be attached to that bug report. | 20:49 |
| jcastro | unless it's in the netbook edition | 20:49 |
| sense | Does that have a different patch? | 20:49 |
| mgunes | jcastro, I recall a post of yours saying pins were possible; you were probably talking about the netbook edition. | 20:50 |
| jcastro | so that's why have a sort-of-half-finished implementation of tomboy notes | 20:50 |
| jcastro | we can probably do pins in the netbook dock thing | 20:50 |
| jcastro | I need to talk about it with ted some more | 20:50 |
| mgunes | sense, thanks; I'll probably have to study the code | 20:50 |
| jcastro | but yeah, it's not ideal if you use pins | 20:50 |
| jcastro | also, hi! haven't talked to you for a long time | 20:51 |
| mgunes | hi indeed ;) | 20:51 |
| mgunes | I did use pins; it actually is a deal breaker. | 20:52 |
| mgunes | It might be a good temporary kludge to implement pinning in the search dialog context menu. | 20:52 |
| jcastro | we purposely didn't ship the patch in 10.04 because of that | 20:52 |
| jcastro | maybe someone got overexcited and enabled it | 20:52 |
| * jcastro blames tedg | 20:53 | |
| mgunes | I know | 20:53 |
| jcastro | mgunes: I'll bring it up at UDS | 20:53 |
| mgunes | jcastro: I'd appreciate that. | 20:54 |
| Pendulum | does anyone know if Unity was tested in how it works with Orca (screen reader) at all? | 22:02 |
