apinheiroPendulum, hi14:32
apinheirowell, the issue is that I were more focused on just Unity14:32
apinheirofor Ubuntu a11y in general, I think that TheMuso is more suitable14:33
Pendulumon Unity is fine :)14:35
Pendulumsince you probably know it more than anyone else :P14:35
Pendulum(other than TheMuso, but sadly the way Open Week works, he's in the wrong time zone :( )14:35

webczatHey, what's new?15:10
webczatdid someone tested the qt bridge?16:55
webczatI can't test it, but I'm trying to compile it.17:05
webczatmaco: you there?17:44
macowebczat: yes17:46
webczatdid you try testing qt-at-spi?17:47
macono17:47
webczatI will install ubuntu-11 beta2 I think17:47
webczatbut not sure if it's then safe to switch to the at-spi2 thing.17:47
macoit'll probably be a couple weeks before i get to it as i have plans all weekend this weekend and am graduating the weekend after that17:47
charlie-tcawebczat: grab the daily instead. It has a lot changes in it17:49
webczatdo you at least know if at-spi2 itself works?17:49
charlie-tca!daily17:49
ubot2Daily builds of the CD images of the current development version of Ubuntu are available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/17:49
webczatthanks for the information. what's the difference between 2 links?17:50
webczatahh I see. what are most notable changes in this livecd?17:52
charlie-tcaThere were hundreds of changes between beta2 and now18:07
charlie-tcaIf you install beta2, you might have 300 upgrades to do 18:08
webczatwhat about accessibility-related?18:13
macowebczat: i dont think my change to ubiquity to make it read the right stuff on the partitioning page was in beta 218:13
charlie-tcaI think there were a lot of changes. screen-reader install failed for beta2, now it works18:18
webczatmhm18:20
webczatlet's go with it, going to grap a cd.18:20
webczatis there any thing new like a beep at bootloader prompt, or something?18:33
charlie-tcaunfortunately, no18:34
charlie-tcaThey are still making it hard for us18:34
AlanBellthere is a bug for that18:41
webczatbut they didn't do it.18:43
webczatAlanBell: do you know if at-spi2 works correctly in ubuntu?18:44
AlanBellwebczat: sorry, not sure18:45
AlanBelljust searched for that bug and it turns out there are three bugs already filed18:45
AlanBellall filed by me18:46

macoheh whoops18:46
webczatActually, does someone know why ubuntu does not use at-spi2 by default?19:07
macowebczat: it's incomplete, isn't it?  also, Dasher (predictive on-screen keyboard) is pretty broken with it (can't input into programs directly, have to copy and paste from Dasher's text editor)19:11
maco(Dasher's upstream doesn't see a reason to fix that though :( )19:12
webczatmaco: i thought at-spi2 is complete, because gnome3 dropped bonobo right? so at-spi2 needs to be completed to replace at-spi19:21
macowhat does bonobo have to do with at-spi?19:22
webczatahh. because at-spi is corba19:22
webczati mean 119:22
webczat2 is dbus and this is the reason that qt-at-spi needs 219:23
macothe gnome-accessibility mailing list earlier today had a discussion where someone was trying to compile orca and they were told to stop using at-spi2 and use at-spi 1 since its not done enough yet19:23
webczatmhm, maybe it's right19:24
webczatbut ubuntu-11 has it. so I'll check if it can work.19:25
webczatthere is a method to switch between at-spi versions.19:25
webczatusing gconf keys19:25
webczati sent a question to orca guis, awaiting answer about that19:28
webczats/guys19:28
webczatubuntu-11 ready. going out for it, bye.19:55
hajour1hi all still on my daughters pc 21:23

hajour1do you know who maybe can help webczat  AlanBell 21:42
AlanBellits OK21:42
hajour1really need a list with names and who to ask for what21:42
AlanBellwebczat has already asked in all the places I would think of21:42
hajour1mm 21:42
hajour1what that at-spi2 is for?21:43
AlanBellthe only thing I would have done differently is that I would have asked webczat :)21:43
hajour1what=where 21:44
AlanBellat-spi2 is the assistive technology service provider interface (I think)21:44
AlanBellversion 1 uses corba, version 2 uses dbus21:44
webczatyeah21:44
hajour1???21:45
webczatand it works great.21:45
AlanBellcorba and dbus are different ways of getting programs to talk to each other21:45
* hajour1 regrate she is still a nooby21:45
hajour1a ok21:45
AlanBellwebczat: version 2 works great?21:45
webczatAlanBell: I'm running it for half an hour and it's ok.21:45
webczatunless i missed something and I still use version 1? but ps shows version 2 and 1 is not installed.21:46
hajour1so its like a thing what connects21:46
hajour1i am trying to understand it21:46
webczatI also installed qt-at-spi. and ran qt designer, it works in a strange way, i don't think i really understand it, but it doesn't crash and it is probably accessible. I want to try with skype that i know more about.21:47
webczatbut I fscking can't find a download link lol21:47
AlanBelldownload link for skype?21:47
webczatyeah. I pressed get skype and then I can't find a link.21:47
webczatI one time found it few weeks ago but I don't remember how21:48
AlanBell64 or 32 bit?21:48
webczat3221:48
webczati didn't burn 64 bit ubuntu-11 although i could21:48
AlanBellhttp://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/downloading.ubuntu3221:49

AlanBellthat page should automatically kick off the download21:49
AlanBellhajour1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistive_Technology_Service_Provider_Interface21:50
hajour1i going to try to read it21:51
hajour1i go read it later to much talking here around me at the moment21:52
hajour1mmm i not know how to say it easy so i have write it on a note from my facebook.21:56
webczatAlanBell: right, installed on a livecd, tests done. not really accessible but I see something, so it's actually going in the right direction.21:56
hajour1i will wait till you are ready with this21:56
webczatAlanBell: like, I see some unmarked button, the sign in button, checkbox for remember me, and username/password fields. fields are strange, username is displayed as combobox, password as cleartext, and when I type something, I can't read it back.21:57
webczatnot sure why is that. but anyway it stopped to be an inaccessible window21:58
webczatbut at-spi2 itself works correctly22:00
AlanBellthat is promising at least22:00
webczatyeah, I see.22:01
=== erkan^ is now known as zippo^
webczatI am really waiting for this beautiful day, when I'll be able to use kde, skype and other things like that.22:02
