| kio_http | about the browser discussion, why not use konqueror with the webkit backend instead of khtml http://digitizor.com/2010/08/11/how-to-switch-to-webkit-in-konqueror-browser-kde-sc-4-5kubuntu/ | 05:04 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottK | kio_http: Why would that be better than rekonq? | 05:19 |
| kio_http | ScottK: I don't know but rekonq keeps crashing for me | 05:31 |
| ScottK | The biggest problem from a supportability POV is Qt webkit and security support. | 05:32 |
| ScottK | (khtml isn't any better) | 05:32 |
| kio_http | Or personally I would like having no browser but a browser select screen like Windows Edition N's have | 05:33 |
| ScottK | I think we need some minimal browser, but it doesn't have to be full featured. | 05:36 |
| kio_http | ScottK: This is the windows solution http://cdn2.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/clip_image002_136F9F12.jpg for europe editions | 05:36 |
| ScottK | Yes, but Windows can do that since they don't provide a full solution. Also we can't put all the browsers on the CD. | 05:37 |
| kio_http | ScottK: Actually that comes with no browser, its a downloader like Kubuntu's firefox installer | 05:38 |
| ScottK | Right, but Windows is a subset of the total OS solution that we try to provide. | 05:38 |
| kio_http | I see | 05:39 |
| kio_http | Ms does it for legal reasons the rest of the world gets IE. But I figured if you use a web browser you have an Internet connection so a downloader choice wouldn't harm. or maybe give one browser plus a choice screen instead of the firefox installer | 05:42 |
| ScottK | I think it's reasonable. | 05:49 |
| ScottK | We've discussed switching the FF installer to a FF/Chromium choice, but no one actually did the work. | 05:50 |

| kio_http | Another idea about the netbook interface ... By default if the screen resolution is less than 1024X768 it defaults to the netbook interface. Most people prefer the standard interface on netbooks... any chance that it could be made into a selectable option on first boot or something? Everytime I install on a netbook I have to remove the netbook settings packages before logon | 06:37 |
| ScottK | No you donn't. | 06:39 |
| ScottK | All you have to do is pick plasma-desktop in systemsettings after you log in. | 06:40 |
| ScottK | A lot of people have given positive feedback about the netbook interface, BTW. | 06:40 |
| kio_http | ScottK: I know but the titlebar has only two buttons then and there are some other quirks | 06:40 |
| kio_http | ScottK: No big deal actually .. just out of the users I know many like the normal interface... then some like the netbook one on big screens too | 06:41 |

| hrw | hi | 10:05 |
| hrw | can someone create some kind of kubuntu-minimal package which would be some kind of kubuntu-desktop without pim and most of apps? desktop/plasma+kdm+wm - set just to boot into kde | 10:06 |
| === Stecchino_ is now known as Stecchino | ||
| jussi | hrw, that would be nice, along with the low-fat-settings package | 10:19 |
| hrw | I just installed kubuntu-desktop and will go on dropping kdepim parts etc before login | 10:20 |
| jussi | hrw: try installing the low fat settings also, might help with making it lihter from th beginning | 10:21 |
| hrw | jussi: I have my kde4 settings from previous use | 10:22 |
| jussi | ahh ok | 10:22 |
| hrw | in march I moved to xfce and now going back | 10:22 |
| jussi | hrw: if you have a list of packages you think would be a good package set, post it and lets try get somethign together. | 10:23 |
| * jussi wouldnt mind running a minimal kubuntu on his old machine | 10:23 | |
| hrw | hard to tell for as I have other set of default apps then most of kubuntu based setup probably | 10:24 |
| hrw | hm. no sound on speakers | 10:38 |
| hrw | ok, enabled | 10:39 |
| jussi | btw, do we have a kde/Qt version of pavucontrol? | 10:42 |

| Riddell | ScottK: I am but I'm also on a non ADSL connection so it's hard for me to test | 14:02 |
| Riddell | a couple of hours, I'll leave it running | 14:03 |
| ScottK | Riddell: OK. Could you take a look at at least the 4.7.3 language updates and mark #901283 verified | 14:03 |
| ScottK | The rest of 4.7.3 needs testing too, of course. | 14:04 |
| ScottK | I may actually be able to use kmail now. | 14:04 |
| al | oh, kmail became usable again? | 14:06 |
| ScottK | Relatively. | 14:07 |
| ScottK | It may be up to "sucks less than Thunderbird" | 14:07 |
| ScottK | I'm experimenting with it again. | 14:07 |

| Riddell | ScottK: are you anting 4.7.3 or 4.7.4 tested? | 14:48 |
| ScottK | Riddell: 4.7.3 for the SRU. | 14:48 |

| yofel | ScottK: the delays are the reason I usually work in ninjas, private ppa builds get quite a bit of priority added | 14:56 |

| who_me | alright | 15:01 |
| Riddell | apol: a library or an application? | 15:02 |

| ScottK | I think the most important thing is to see if kmail is working. | 15:39 |
| ScottK | That's where the biggest changes were. | 15:39 |
| ScottK | That and I can't get it to work (but I didn't on 4.7.2 either and others did) | 15:40 |
| Riddell | hmm loads fine but I need to find a test e-mail account to test on | 15:46 |
| yofel | well, 4.7.3 works as well/bad as the ppa packages for me | 15:56 |
| ScottK | yofel: How about in comparison to 4.7.2? | 15:59 |
| ScottK | That's the real benchmark for this. | 15:59 |

| ScottK | Right. Had no changes. | 17:10 |
| ScottK | Let me upload it anyway then. | 17:10 |

| ScottK | I see. | 22:15 |
| ScottK | Should it better go in backports then? | 22:16 |
| yofel | theoretically yes, I put it in updates because archive kdenlive is pretty much broken in oneiric. | 22:16 |

| Riddell | SONAME is libkactivities.so.6 | 23:14 |
| ScottK | Unless kde-workspace needs libkactivies as well, it should probably be separated. | 23:14 |
| ScottK | Then it'd be problematic to mix it with a non-soname daemon in the same package. | 23:15 |
| ScottK | I'd separate it. | 23:15 |
| Riddell | and have libkactivies depend on kactivitymanagerd | 23:15 |

| Riddell | I need to work out where to put the plugins too | 23:17 |
