CIA-116[libqapt] jmthomas * 1187641 * trunk/extragear/sysadmin/libqapt/src/ (backend.cpp backend.h) Rename saveInstalledSelectionsList() to saveInstalledPackagesList() since things already installed aren't really selections.00:36
CIA-116[muon] jmthomas * 1187642 * trunk/extragear/sysadmin/muon/ (5 files in 2 dirs) Use the new saveInstalledPackagesList() function to add a GUI option to save a list of all installed packages, so that it can be read on another computer/install.00:37
CIA-116[muon] jmthomas * 1187643 * trunk/extragear/sysadmin/muon/ (ChangeLog muon/MainWindow.cpp) Add the new Save Installed Packages List action to the list of things enabled/disabled by setActionsEnabled. Also, fix a bug where loadSelections was never enabled after being disabled by setActionsEnabled(false)00:38
JontheEchidnahrm, nothing like a list of every package on the system to find a several bugs in your list parser :/00:59

ScottKal: He's the CTO of Canonical.  I doubt he'll get stoned by the raving gtk+ fans.12:43
SputScottK: because there's only about a dozen gtk fans left?13:18
ScottKHard to say.13:19
Sputtrue, legacy software dies hard13:19
ScottKWe should welcome that they eventually see the light rather than be smug we saw it first (even if it is true).13:22
ScottK;-)13:22
Sputof course.13:37
highvoltagethere are gtk fans left!13:45
highvoltagegtk fans realise that qt is pretty cool though.13:45
* highvoltage wonders how he ended up on #kubuntu-devel :)13:46
ScottKhighvoltage: These are the same ones that use Gnome because KDE isn't free enough?13:48

shtylmanScottK: will be interesting to see what comes of this from UDS... I wouldn't read too much into it unless they can make disk space.. which there is a blueprint for using lzma compression for the live cd14:51
shadeslayershtylman: yeah i saw that one too, /me is thinking of attending, itll be interesting to see what they come up with14:56
markeywell, the funny thing is, I actually talked about this with a few friends from KDE, at Qt Developer Days14:56
markeyI made the prediction: At the latest in 2 years, Ubuntu will switch to Qt (and/or KDE)14:56
markeyand Mark S. has been planning this for a long timee14:57
markeyI mean, he has no choice14:57
markeyGTK is dead14:57
markeymy friends said: "NO WAY."14:57
markeyhahaha14:57
markeyI actually told the same thing to Mark S. a while ago, and he just laughed14:57
markeywho's laughing now? :)14:57
shtylmanmarkey: they will not switch to kde15:01
shtylmanbut I can see them making some interface components (for netbook..etc) in qt if they have it available15:01
cmaginai can't imagine that switch occurring either. too much investment into the current setup.  its more likely new apps are written using qt instead15:02
shadeslayeruh ....15:02
shadeslayermarkey: cmagina is right15:02
cmaginait could make it easier for kubuntu to use these new apps however15:02
markeythere is no choice. as I said, GTK is dead in the water15:03
markeyyou cannot save it15:03
markeyit needs a complete rewrite15:03
markeyQt is very well maintained, thanks to Nokia15:03
markeyand I bet Mark S. has been talking to Nokia15:04
ScottKYou mean deprecating some obsolete libraries and calling it gtk3 won't be enough?15:04
markeyno :)15:04
markeyit will not15:04
markeyGNOME is standing on a shaky foundation15:04
shadeslayergnome doesnt have commercial sponsors?15:04
ScottKA large fraction of it's devs work for Red Hat.15:05
cmaginamany of the corporations, if not all, use it for their enterprise distributions15:05
jussihrm, whats the status of  ubuntu one in kubuntu currently?15:06
cmaginathink its dead15:06
al<markey> Qt is very well maintained, thanks to Nokia15:06
cmaginathe post to the bug in lp wasn't very positive and it doesn't seem to work in maverick15:06
aluh .. isn't nokia dropping linux/x11 tier 1 support in the next qt release?15:07
shadeslayerjussi: i got your kuta :)15:07
shadeslayeral: if theyre switching to raster, id be +115:07
shadeslayeror are they dropping the linux port?15:07
alshadeslayer: no, it's more like replacing linux with windows 715:07
markeyal: no.15:08
markeyI was at Qt Developer Days15:08

jussiawesome!15:08
ScottKjussi: The status is that we'll discuss it at UDS.  Given the contributor agreement that's required, I doubt much will come of it unless Canonical decides to fund it.15:09
jussiforgot what it was called for a second there15:09
almarkey: but they did say they would in the past, didn't they?15:09
shadeslayerhahaha 15:09
jussiScottK: but do we have a working client?15:09
ScottKjussi: Nope.  Don't now, never really did.15:09
jussiok, thats the info I was after :D15:09
ScottKapachelogger almost had one.15:10

cmaginado we have a gobby equivalent kde/qt app?15:11
markeyyes15:12
markeyKobby15:12
markey(not kidding)15:12
markeystupid name...15:12
cmaginai remember it15:12
cmaginadoes it work with gobby?15:12
markeyand honestly: Gobby is complete and utter shite15:12
markeyI had to use that at a company15:12
cmaginaah, never used it15:12
markeyit's not exactly fully featured15:12
markeyin fact it looks half finished15:12
cmaginanot surprising, everyone probably just uses google docs instead15:13
ScottKWe make extensive use of it in Ubuntu during the developer summit.15:13
ScottKGiven the audience of the meeting, it works out well.15:14
cmaginaok, does kobby interact the same way during those sessions or do you have to use gobby? (going to uds :) )15:14
shtylmanthey demoed some web thing last UDS15:15
shtylmanthat might get used this time.. who knows15:15
shadeslayershtylman: you mean ... http://ubingo.libertus.co.uk/15:17
shadeslayer:P15:17
shtylmanhaha..no15:19
ScottKcmagina: It depends on which version of Gobby they decide to use.  There are two server types and they are incompatible.  If they use the newer one that Kobby works with, it'll be fine.15:20
* ScottK has them both installed, just in case.15:20
cmaginaScottK: ah, thanks15:20
cmaginai'll probably just do the same15:20
ScottKjussi: Do you know which server they will run for Gobby?15:21

agateauScottK: I made the changes Qt devs asked, haven't received feedback yet. they will probably get back to us on this during UDS 15:53
ScottKagateau: Great. See you there.  Got some very positive feedback about netbook.  I think the appmenu changes are a significant part of that.15:53

debfxwhich contains a bunch of java .class files without the source code21:26
