xnoxmpt_: when I said you should be inspired by Malevich's Black Square I didn't mean for you to take it literary =)09:41
mpt_xnox, I was aiming more for Mondrian <images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=mondrian>, which was previously the inspiration for the layout of packagekit-gnome. <images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=packagekit-gnome>09:43
xnoxmpt_: striking resemblance. =) should be sold to the Keith Lemon brand09:48

xnoxmpt: what don't have symbolic pencil icon, only the two-cog. Or is there a symbolic one in gtk theme? Can I request one?11:45
xnoxmpt: looks very good though.11:45
mptxnox, I have no idea. :-)11:47

xnoxmpt: ^^^^ help me decide which bug to fix14:21
ogra_the latter is easier, just fix the testcase docs :)14:22
mpt"Firefox is already running, but is not responding."14:22
xnoxmpt: ok. I'll do that then. Warning dialog or window?14:22
xnox=)))))))))))))))14:22
xnoxmpt: on one hand we want users to make a decision & no accidently click through "erase all of my data" by accident (touchpad, laptop, double click from previous page).14:23
xnoxon the other hand it should be "easy to install"14:23
mptxnox, I'm going to let you in on a little secret14:24
mptxnox, when a bug report has "should" in its title, that usually means the reporter has assumed a particular solution to a problem.14:24
mptBut if you're lucky, the problem will be clear too, and you might see how it can be solved in a different way, or even has already been solved in a different way.14:25
mptIn this case, the problem is that there's no confirmation step after choosing "Install Ubuntu alongside".14:25
mptBut that problem was fixed a couple of years after the bug was reported: see <http://people.canonical.com/~evand/screenshots/ubiquity/12.04/4.png> and <http://people.canonical.com/~evand/screenshots/ubiquity/12.04/5.png>.14:26
xnoxthere was a third bug as well "missing confirmation on format & install" (which it doesn't14:26
mptThere is now another step between choosing installation alongside, and the installation actually starting.14:26
mptSo, that bug is either fixed or invalid, take your pick.14:26
* xnox goes back to read the bugs again.14:27
mptThere's a case to be made that there should be *another* confirmation step, and yes I think there is another bug report about that, but you don't need to deal with that to close that particular bug report.14:28
xnoxmpt: the top radio button should always be ticked, because it's either the one that has confirmation after it (e.g. dual boot)14:28
xnoxmpt: or it will be format&install, and if format&install is the top choise it mean that there is no other operating systems/data present (clean system) and there is no harm done.14:29
mptxnox, so yes, default to the first radio button checked14:29
xnoxmpt: thanks a lot.14:31
xnoxmpt: by the way I do love the 5.png screenshot =)14:32
mptxnox, oh yeah, if you could fix that, that would be swell. :-)14:58
mptIt's a horror that nobody reported that in all the 12.04 testing14:58
xnoxHmmm.... cia broken?!18:05
