jose_X | that would be good news | Nov 07 00:00 |

jose_X | also, the quoted text points out that windows doesn't use the stronger sha.. what do they use? | Nov 07 00:01 |
jose_X | anyone know? | Nov 07 00:01 |
schestowitz | I think I use SHA5 in Thunderbird | Nov 07 00:01 |
schestowitz | pgp uses it a lot | Nov 07 00:02 |

*amarsh04__ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 07 00:03 | |
jose_X | just looked recently at gpg.. i think it uses "CAST5" by default for symmetric key encryptions.. is that what you meant, schestowitz | Nov 07 00:04 |
Ender2070 | sha-1 is hardly "safe" | Nov 07 00:04 |
Ender2070 | its as safe as md5 | Nov 07 00:04 |
jose_X | wikipedia said that a collision had not been found | Nov 07 00:05 |
jose_X | should that be fixed? | Nov 07 00:05 |

schestowitz | 4 billion embedded devices | Nov 07 00:17 |
lordtoran | and that's only one part of the embedded market | Nov 07 00:17 |
schestowitz | _Hicham_: your worst nightmare ! | Nov 07 00:17 |
lordtoran | yep | Nov 07 00:17 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : why do u say that to me ? | Nov 07 00:17 |
lordtoran | my pie was based on 2006-2007 shipments data | Nov 07 00:18 |

_Hicham_ | schestowitz : thanks for answering me | Nov 07 00:19 |
lordtoran | shipped desktop CPUs per year should be around 400 millions now, and ARM alone at ~2.5 billion | Nov 07 00:20 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : I didn't expect that kind of answer | Nov 07 00:21 |
lordtoran | embedded is *huge* :-) | Nov 07 00:21 |
lordtoran | however all operating system data in that market is very unreliable | Nov 07 00:23 |
lordtoran | for real studies you have to pay fat €€€ | Nov 07 00:24 |
lordtoran | Commercial and free linux together /might/ be around 50% over all segments if i read correctly between the lines | Nov 07 00:26 |
lordtoran | then there's VxWorks, QNX and another half-billion competitors | Nov 07 00:27 |
lordtoran | most unix based | Nov 07 00:27 |
Ender2070 | the only OS worth it's salt is Plan9 | Nov 07 00:28 |

*jose_X has quit ("Leaving") | Nov 07 01:21 | |
oiaohm | _Hicham_: issue traditional package managers don't exacty work in all cases. | Nov 07 01:22 |
lordtoran | schestowitz, QNX is linux inspired | Nov 07 01:22 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : what do u mean ? | Nov 07 01:22 |
oiaohm | PackageKit provides a interface back to them that may fill in the gap cases. | Nov 07 01:22 |
_Hicham_ | that some package managers fail ? | Nov 07 01:22 |
oiaohm | You install from source _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:23 |
oiaohm | What tracking is done _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:23 |
_Hicham_ | u install from source using packagekit ? | Nov 07 01:23 |
lordtoran | i think the embedded software market has shifted quite dramatically since 2005 | Nov 07 01:23 |
lordtoran | there were moe unix derivates back then | Nov 07 01:23 |
_Hicham_ | that, I didn't know of | Nov 07 01:23 |
oiaohm | Currently source packages cannot support all package format ou there _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:24 |
oiaohm | out | Nov 07 01:24 |
_Hicham_ | packagekit doesn't work with source packages | Nov 07 01:24 |
_Hicham_ | it just call the backend | Nov 07 01:24 |
oiaohm | Yet it can be interfaced with by source packages to install stuf. | Nov 07 01:24 |
_Hicham_ | and the backend respond | Nov 07 01:25 |
_Hicham_ | how ? | Nov 07 01:25 |
_Hicham_ | richard hughes didn't talk about this functionality | Nov 07 01:25 |
lordtoran | oiaohm, yes probably most embeddeds OSes lean to posix but aren't unix | Nov 07 01:27 |
lordtoran | there has to be some standard, i suppose | Nov 07 01:28 |
lordtoran | microsoft on the other hand is relatively strong in not so deeply embedded systems like POS terminals | Nov 07 01:30 |
lordtoran | typically these are x86 but microsofts embedded line also supports ARM, MIPS and a few more | Nov 07 01:31 |
oiaohm | _Hicham_: Big advantage is that package kit allows multi backends. If someone want to be evil they can register there own for there own applications. So able to add there own uninstallers. There is more than 1 way to skin the cat. | Nov 07 01:31 |
schestowitz | _Hicham_: privacy for Slated | Nov 07 01:32 |
schestowitz | see slates.org | Nov 07 01:32 |
schestowitz | see slated.org | Nov 07 01:32 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : and privacy for _Hicham_ too | Nov 07 01:33 |
oiaohm | lordtoran: most lean to posix due to C. C langauge is nicer in a posix envorment. | Nov 07 01:33 |
schestowitz | I know your full name | Nov 07 01:33 |
schestowitz | The gentleman in a suit | Nov 07 01:33 |

oiaohm | Yes for a Buddhist I know I am strange to have grown one. But still its natural. | Nov 07 01:36 |
lordtoran | i have a beard too, and I'm agnostic | Nov 07 01:36 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : PackageKit doesn't allow unknow backend | Nov 07 01:37 |
oiaohm | I am part christian part Buddhist. | Nov 07 01:37 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : it has a backend list | Nov 07 01:37 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : so this Slated is a Fedora contributor ? | Nov 07 01:38 |
oiaohm | Yet nothing stops you making a package for distributions to add another backend does it _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:38 |
lordtoran | my father is a buddhist and he sort of influenced me | Nov 07 01:38 |
lordtoran | it's a very liberal way of looking at the world | Nov 07 01:38 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : u have to submit the backend to packagekit.org | Nov 07 01:39 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : I am gonna ask hughsie about this issue | Nov 07 01:39 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : if it is true, then it is a big security issue | Nov 07 01:40 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : and PackageKit is about security too | Nov 07 01:40 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : so the user have to be dumb to install a non trusted package | Nov 07 01:40 |
_Hicham_ | u can run but u can't hide | Nov 07 01:41 |
_Hicham_ | that is what Slated is doing | Nov 07 01:42 |
_Hicham_ | he is running | Nov 07 01:42 |
_Hicham_ | but he won't hide | Nov 07 01:42 |
_Hicham_ | I am gonna find him sooner or later | Nov 07 01:42 |
_Hicham_ | and can't hide | Nov 07 01:42 |
_Hicham_ | even Osama Bin Laden can't hide | Nov 07 01:42 |
oiaohm | Its not a big secruity issue. | Nov 07 01:43 |
oiaohm | No more than the secuirty issue of running multi reposistories now _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:43 |

_Hicham_ | schestowitz : u can visit me whenever u want | Nov 07 01:45 |
_Hicham_ | I have my mail in public | Nov 07 01:45 |
_Hicham_ | and my phone number in public | Nov 07 01:45 |
oiaohm | _Hicham_: what is the secuirty difference between adding own repos and adding a extra package management system? | Nov 07 01:45 |
_Hicham_ | so u r welcome anytime | Nov 07 01:45 |
_Hicham_ | plus, I have nothing to hide | Nov 07 01:45 |
oiaohm | If you can find a difference then there is a secuirty difference of adding a extra backend to package kit. | Nov 07 01:46 |
oiaohm | There is a difference for those making applications third party of course _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:46 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : huge one, the extra package management ( if it is closed source ) is a real risk, because u opened the door to unknown packages | Nov 07 01:47 |
oiaohm | Same with linking to a closed source repoistory _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:47 |
_Hicham_ | it can do whatever it wants, once privilegies are granted | Nov 07 01:47 |
oiaohm | None of the package manager are appling secuirty limitations. | Nov 07 01:47 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : I think ur slated is just a coward | Nov 07 01:48 |
oiaohm | To what the packages in the closed source repo can assign to themselves _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:48 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : sorry, but that is my opinion | Nov 07 01:48 |
oiaohm | There is no secuirty difference _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:48 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : no there is a huge difference | Nov 07 01:48 |
oiaohm | So I can from a closed source repo replace the kernel. | Nov 07 01:48 |
oiaohm | The pure core. | Nov 07 01:49 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : which ur package manager, u can check what the package contains | Nov 07 01:49 |
oiaohm | And current package management systems will allow. | Nov 07 01:49 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : the proprietary one may trick u | Nov 07 01:49 |
oiaohm | rpm deb all will allow. | Nov 07 01:49 |
_Hicham_ | yes, it is ur decision | Nov 07 01:49 |
_Hicham_ | u can add whatever repo u want | Nov 07 01:49 |
_Hicham_ | but u know which packages are being added | Nov 07 01:49 |
_Hicham_ | better, dpkg will even show u the pre/post install scripts | Nov 07 01:50 |
*Tallken has quit ("Leaving") | Nov 07 01:50 | |
oiaohm | Issue here you can already install stuff high enough that they can do what ever they like from a repo _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:50 |
_Hicham_ | now, with a closed source package manager, u wouldn't even know what is it doing, u must debug it | Nov 07 01:50 |
oiaohm | The third party one does not have to be closed _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:51 |
oiaohm | Just not under the distributions control and support using packagekit to install parts compadibliey. | Nov 07 01:51 |
cubezzz | the economy still feels very sluggish | Nov 07 01:52 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : so what is the package manager overwrites one of ur key libraries | Nov 07 01:52 |
_Hicham_ | ? | Nov 07 01:52 |
cubezzz | but I'm launching a CD anyway, yay :-P | Nov 07 01:52 |
_Hicham_ | at least, if ur using ur distro one, it will inform u | Nov 07 01:52 |
cubezzz | all done with Linux tools | Nov 07 01:52 |
oiaohm | What do you think nvidia installers do now _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:52 |
_Hicham_ | with another package manager, things may get really messy | Nov 07 01:53 |
oiaohm | Without tracking of any form _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:53 |
_Hicham_ | nvidia installers are known | Nov 07 01:53 |
oiaohm | So why do package managers update mesa and the like destorying the files they installed. | Nov 07 01:53 |
_Hicham_ | people know what things are gonna be modified, overwritten | Nov 07 01:53 |
_Hicham_ | they check for dependencies first | Nov 07 01:54 |
_Hicham_ | that is the big difference | Nov 07 01:54 |
oiaohm | Only can check for dependancies if package is registered _Hicham_ | Nov 07 01:54 |
_Hicham_ | of course | Nov 07 01:54 |
_Hicham_ | i am not talking about external changes | Nov 07 01:55 |
oiaohm | .run files and may other forms of cross distribution installers don't regester. | Nov 07 01:55 |
_Hicham_ | who is the moron who will try to install closed source packages to system directories ? | Nov 07 01:55 |
oiaohm | Since there is no clean framework for them to register. | Nov 07 01:55 |
_Hicham_ | it is up to the user to know what they are doing | Nov 07 01:56 |
oiaohm | You are thinking that closed source people will be insane. | Nov 07 01:56 |
_Hicham_ | however, there is a great wrapper in Debian : fakeroot | Nov 07 01:56 |
oiaohm | If they break system they will be hated. | Nov 07 01:56 |
oiaohm | Yet they still need the means to do automatic updates. | Nov 07 01:56 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : no, that they might break systems | Nov 07 01:56 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : in this case, let install them into the home folder | Nov 07 01:57 |
_Hicham_ | like i do with games | Nov 07 01:57 |
oiaohm | That has limits. | Nov 07 01:57 |
_Hicham_ | no system wide libraries | Nov 07 01:57 |
_Hicham_ | which limit ? | Nov 07 01:57 |
oiaohm | If you have a 50 user system. | Nov 07 01:57 |
oiaohm | How will you know that all 50 users have upto date versions. | Nov 07 01:58 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : install it then to the /opt folder | Nov 07 01:58 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : isn't that feasible ? | Nov 07 01:58 |
oiaohm | So you will have to manually check the opt folder. | Nov 07 01:59 |
oiaohm | Or do you want each program checking when they run. | Nov 07 01:59 |
oiaohm | Basically you have mess. | Nov 07 01:59 |
_Hicham_ | check and notify me | Nov 07 01:59 |
oiaohm | Same reason why we are not all using slackware. | Nov 07 01:59 |
_Hicham_ | and i will decide if i am gonna update or no | Nov 07 01:59 |
oiaohm | In its first form. | Nov 07 01:59 |
_Hicham_ | I hate automatic updates | Nov 07 02:00 |

schestowitz | thanks | Nov 07 02:00 |
oiaohm | package management is need in a distribution netural form. | Nov 07 02:00 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : really, with an open heart | Nov 07 02:00 |
schestowitz | I'll bring the coffee | Nov 07 02:00 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : but be prepared for the pushup contest | Nov 07 02:01 |
oiaohm | _Hicham_: there also needs to be a single interface for users to find out what the current status of the packages they installed. | Nov 07 02:01 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : but ur friend Slated isn't welcome, because I don't like cowards | Nov 07 02:01 |

oiaohm | Linus hates the hate of MS mostly because it destracts from focusing on the main problem improving Linux. | Nov 07 02:04 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : packagekit already provides the update state interface | Nov 07 02:04 |
schestowitz | oiaohm: it was reactionary | Nov 07 02:04 |

cubezzz | it only makes sense to watch what they're up to | Nov 07 02:05 |
cubezzz | er, ignore I mean :) | Nov 07 02:05 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : no, I know oiaohm | Nov 07 02:05 |
schestowitz | You do? | Nov 07 02:05 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : and he is not Colin | Nov 07 02:05 |
schestowitz | I can't recall the name | Nov 07 02:05 |
schestowitz | And it doesn't matter | Nov 07 02:05 |
schestowitz | It's an alias | Nov 07 02:05 |
schestowitz | Slated too is an alias | Nov 07 02:06 |
schestowitz | Not a coward | Nov 07 02:06 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : plus, oiaohm always talk to us | Nov 07 02:06 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : he never talks in the channel | Nov 07 02:06 |
oiaohm | My alias does not take long to find my real name. | Nov 07 02:06 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : so he may think that he is superior or sthg | Nov 07 02:06 |
schestowitz | Busy w/ other things | Nov 07 02:06 |
schestowitz | Silence is gold | Nov 07 02:06 |
oiaohm | I don't really hide. | Nov 07 02:06 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm is known all over the world | Nov 07 02:06 |
oiaohm | To be correct my alias makes it simpler to find me. | Nov 07 02:06 |
oiaohm | Compared to all my releations with the same first middle and last name. | Nov 07 02:07 |
_Hicham_ | I can even see oiaohm in the night within the stars :) | Nov 07 02:07 |
oiaohm | So its not really effective hiding. | Nov 07 02:07 |
_Hicham_ | shining all over the world | Nov 07 02:07 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : why do u think that he is my friend ? | Nov 07 02:08 |
oiaohm | packagekit is providing the framework to unify the fround end _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:08 |
oiaohm | So allowing more than 1 backend _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:08 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : yes, I have had the same experience across multiple distros | Nov 07 02:08 |
_Hicham_ | oh no this was to oiaohm | Nov 07 02:09 |
oiaohm | It happens. | Nov 07 02:09 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : I have used PackageKit on Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, and Ubuntu | Nov 07 02:09 |
_Hicham_ | I have had the same experience | Nov 07 02:09 |
_Hicham_ | except Mandriva, where the backend is not yet mature | Nov 07 02:10 |
oiaohm | Now with packagekit it makes it possiable for a single design third party package management to look up what is installed. | Nov 07 02:10 |
oiaohm | And not install duplication _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:10 |
_Hicham_ | yes, exactly | Nov 07 02:11 |
oiaohm | So making third party stuff smaller. | Nov 07 02:11 |
oiaohm | And lower secuirty risk. | Nov 07 02:11 |
oiaohm | Now it would be better of course if there was a unified one for third party. | Nov 07 02:11 |
_Hicham_ | so maybe instead of calling the package manager directly, we will call packagekit | Nov 07 02:11 |
_Hicham_ | so if ever packagekit proposes a unified package format, ISVs will ships in it immediately | Nov 07 02:12 |
schestowitz | _Hicham_: interesting, good stuff | Nov 07 02:12 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : what is good stuff ? | Nov 07 02:13 |
oiaohm | And once ISV have unified package format source packages can use that in there installer stage. | Nov 07 02:13 |
oiaohm | So allowing everything over time to be cleaned up _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:13 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : PackageKit will play the role of an intermediate between the installer and the native package manager | Nov 07 02:13 |
oiaohm | We just need to get there _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:13 |
_Hicham_ | u just have to use PackageKit API when generating ur package | Nov 07 02:14 |
_Hicham_ | but PackageKit doesn't support that for the moment | Nov 07 02:14 |
_Hicham_ | it does just basic calls | Nov 07 02:15 |
_Hicham_ | more advanced calls will be a pain to implement | Nov 07 02:15 |
oiaohm | Basic calls are far nicer. | Nov 07 02:15 |
_Hicham_ | how ? | Nov 07 02:15 |
oiaohm | Then having to embed support for every package manager in existance to query stuff _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:15 |
oiaohm | In an installer. | Nov 07 02:15 |
_Hicham_ | no, that wouldn't be in the installer | Nov 07 02:16 |
_Hicham_ | that will be in the backend | Nov 07 02:16 |

oiaohm | Hopefully in time it gets to nice and tidy. | Nov 07 02:18 |

oiaohm | Big reason is KDE and Gnome are intergrating. | Nov 07 02:19 |

oiaohm | What is new. | Nov 07 02:25 |
_Hicham_ | oiaohm : Ubuntu is accepting it | Nov 07 02:25 |
_Hicham_ | they will push it into Debian | Nov 07 02:25 |
_Hicham_ | don't worry | Nov 07 02:25 |
oiaohm | This time around we have ubuntu to level out Debian insaneness in package system. | Nov 07 02:25 |
_Hicham_ | Debian is all worried about its debconf | Nov 07 02:26 |
_Hicham_ | but what does debconf do ? | Nov 07 02:26 |
oiaohm | Configure packages. | Nov 07 02:26 |
_Hicham_ | display a license ? it is already supported by packagekit | Nov 07 02:26 |
oiaohm | That really should be done by policykit with nicer frount end. | Nov 07 02:26 |
oiaohm | It does way more than display licence _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:26 |
_Hicham_ | display a diff of installed config and maintainer files ? easy to implement in packagekit | Nov 07 02:27 |
oiaohm | You can alter like ports used set machine names ... | Nov 07 02:27 |
oiaohm | Basically a wizard _Hicham_ | Nov 07 02:27 |
oiaohm | To set the application up. | Nov 07 02:27 |
_Hicham_ | this is just unacceptable, and too risky | Nov 07 02:27 |
oiaohm | Note debconf was also the point that brought lsb rpm undone. | Nov 07 02:28 |
oiaohm | Debian has a lot of services install disabled until configured. | Nov 07 02:28 |
oiaohm | Really good idea. But it does give more work to the package management system. | Nov 07 02:28 |
_Hicham_ | I don't agree with Debconf | Nov 07 02:29 |
_Hicham_ | it doesn't treat a package installation as a transaction | Nov 07 02:29 |
oiaohm | Debconf most of it should be replaced by stuff based off policykit. | Nov 07 02:29 |
oiaohm | So you can control what users can configure what services. | Nov 07 02:29 |
_Hicham_ | during the transaction, nothing can be done, it is a atomic | Nov 07 02:29 |
_Hicham_ | I don't agree with that at all | Nov 07 02:30 |
_Hicham_ | what if we have a power outage during debconf ? | Nov 07 02:30 |

shreddar | Compiz makes Gnome as good or better than KDE now. | Nov 07 04:53 |
shreddar | I just realized that. | Nov 07 04:53 |
*_Hicham_ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 07 04:54 | |
shreddar | I know Compiz works on both KDE and Gnome but Compiz + Gnome seems to have fixed some of my issues with Gnome. | Nov 07 04:55 |
shreddar | I think cairo dock fixes another problem I have with Gnome. | Nov 07 04:56 |
shreddar | Compiz seems to have fixed some issues with cairo dock as well. | Nov 07 04:56 |
*amarsh04 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 07 05:01 | |
oiaohm | Depends on your define or better shreddar | Nov 07 05:02 |
oiaohm | Biggest issue on Gnome is lack of good intergration between application. | Nov 07 05:03 |
oiaohm | applications. | Nov 07 05:03 |
oiaohm | Putting in windows dressing does nothing to address that problem shreddar | Nov 07 05:03 |
*amarsh04_ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 07 05:04 | |
shreddar | I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by good integration between apps. | Nov 07 05:04 |
oiaohm | Sharing like in the case of image editing and achiving tools under KDE share the same plugins. | Nov 07 05:06 |
oiaohm | Gnome world has a lot of duplication that is really waste of developer time. | Nov 07 05:06 |
oiaohm | Use of .net on Gnome platforms makes it worse. | Nov 07 05:07 |
shreddar | I guess and I know Gnome has alot of problems but i'm starting to find more solutions to those problems now that seem to make it a better option. | Nov 07 05:08 |
oiaohm | I hear people claim that. | Nov 07 05:09 |
oiaohm | Why need to fix. | Nov 07 05:09 |
oiaohm | Note using compiz with KDE 4 not wise. | Nov 07 05:10 |
shreddar | Firefox, Chrome and Gimp are my favorite apps. KDE was always a way better Desktop than Gnome IMO. | Nov 07 05:10 |
oiaohm | And with kde gtk applications get appearance intergrated in. | Nov 07 05:11 |
oiaohm | Mirror is not true. | Nov 07 05:11 |
shreddar | It just doesn't cut it though. | Nov 07 05:11 |
shreddar | They still use GTK Dialogs. | Nov 07 05:12 |
oiaohm | krita is one of my common applications. | Nov 07 05:12 |
oiaohm | combind with digikam | Nov 07 05:13 |
shreddar | Also, running 2 toolkits (not as bad as it was on my old computer) takes up more ram. | Nov 07 05:13 |
oiaohm | Poor aguement. | Nov 07 05:13 |
shreddar | Yeah, I kept thinking about trying Krita. | Nov 07 05:13 |
oiaohm | Single kde application you end up with most of kde anyhow. | Nov 07 05:14 |
oiaohm | Why limit the pool of applications you can use. | Nov 07 05:14 |
oiaohm | It particular a bad arguement to a person like me who use programs like blender shreddar | Nov 07 05:15 |
oiaohm | It has a complete unique tool kit all to its self. | Nov 07 05:15 |
oiaohm | Platform netural toolkit of all things. | Nov 07 05:15 |
oiaohm | So should I give up blender so I only use 1 toolkit ? | Nov 07 05:16 |
shreddar | No. | Nov 07 05:16 |
shreddar | I wouldn't either. | Nov 07 05:16 |
*amarsh04__ has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Nov 07 05:16 | |
oiaohm | The idea of limit toolkits is pointless if it means giving up useful applications shreddar | Nov 07 05:17 |
shreddar | I just remember it being a real problem on my old computer. | Nov 07 05:17 |
oiaohm | That was part Linux kernel being a drop kick. | Nov 07 05:18 |
oiaohm | Pushing currently running applications binary out of ram to make room for it was kinda stupid. | Nov 07 05:18 |
shreddar | It not as bad anymore though with cheaper RAM but I never forgot that. | Nov 07 05:20 |
oiaohm | Most of the applications I use are QT or opengl based. Opengl based particular hates compiz at times. | Nov 07 05:20 |
oiaohm | Firefox is one of the frew exceptions. | Nov 07 05:20 |
oiaohm | OpenOffice is no more it has GTK and QT frount ends. | Nov 07 05:21 |
shreddar | Really, I guess that would explain things. | Nov 07 05:21 |
shreddar | I thought it was just better integrated. | Nov 07 05:21 |
shreddar | way better integrated | Nov 07 05:22 |
shreddar | It not just the Dialogs though other weird things have happened running GTK apps in KDE. | Nov 07 05:24 |
shreddar | Though they could've been bugs in Ubuntu. | Nov 07 05:25 |
oiaohm | http://code.google.com/p/gtk-qt-engine/ This here remaps GTK dialogs to qt ones. | Nov 07 05:26 |
oiaohm | It reduces the numbers of different dialogs. | Nov 07 05:26 |
oiaohm | There is not a mirror for QT to GTK. | Nov 07 05:27 |
shreddar | So it make GTK apps use QT Dialogs? | Nov 07 05:29 |
oiaohm | Yep | Nov 07 05:29 |
oiaohm | Little touches of intergration are all over the place in kde. | Nov 07 05:30 |
shreddar | I can't believe it. It keep looking for something to do that. All I found was KGTK (which barely worked). | Nov 07 05:30 |
oiaohm | http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM/Akonadi#Scheduled_for_KDE_4.4_.2F_Akonadi_1.3 Just like this working on sorting out pim's. | Nov 07 05:30 |

oiaohm | There was a lot of conversy over gtk to qt when qt was still GPL only licence. | Nov 07 05:34 |
oiaohm | These days it maps to QT4 that is LGPL shreddar | Nov 07 05:34 |
shreddar | That's great about GTK to QT, Ubuntu needs to enable it by default. | Nov 07 05:35 |
oiaohm | Then they will have two tool kits. | Nov 07 05:36 |
oiaohm | They cannot have that. | Nov 07 05:36 |
oiaohm | Ie the stupidity of all this single toolkit crap. | Nov 07 05:36 |
shreddar | They have that now. | Nov 07 05:36 |
shreddar | Hey It's not stupid if you bought a $200 computer back in 2003. | Nov 07 05:37 |
oiaohm | Really drop mono include QT and KDE and give uses the best of breed applications. | Nov 07 05:37 |
oiaohm | Not all best of breed application are going to be all on 1 toolkit. | Nov 07 05:37 |
shreddar | Most of the ones I use are though. | Nov 07 05:40 |
oiaohm | k3b I use for burning. | Nov 07 05:41 |
oiaohm | basket for notes. | Nov 07 05:41 |
oiaohm | Those two I have not changed in years. | Nov 07 05:41 |
oiaohm | I try the gtk ones and go back. | Nov 07 05:42 |
oiaohm | One of the current goals of kde it make it as painless to change applications as able shreddar | Nov 07 05:43 |
oiaohm | Akonadi project is working with gtk application to common store pim information. | Nov 07 05:43 |
oiaohm | So your data follows you. | Nov 07 05:43 |
oiaohm | My problem I am not seeing the same kinds of intergration paths being started by the gnome guys. | Nov 07 05:44 |
oiaohm | In kde it all started with kparts and contact shreddar | Nov 07 05:46 |
oiaohm | contact/kontact | Nov 07 05:46 |
shreddar | oiaohm are you sure GTK-QT is not just a them engine? | Nov 07 05:48 |
shreddar | theme engine | Nov 07 05:48 |
oiaohm | Its a mixture. | Nov 07 05:50 |
oiaohm | Not all dialogs can be swaped for QT ones. | Nov 07 05:50 |
oiaohm | For pritty common sence reasons. | Nov 07 05:50 |
shreddar | What about Open or Save dialogs? | Nov 07 05:51 |
oiaohm | Ie application is allowed to alter dialog and will not take too kindly to them being replaced. | Nov 07 05:51 |
oiaohm | Open and Save is in that cat shreddar | Nov 07 05:51 |
oiaohm | You would have noticed some gtk application tacking extra bits on to the open and save dialogs shreddar | Nov 07 05:52 |

shreddar | See that's a problem because with like firefox if you save in a folder in a location i uses the the nautilus settings to show the file and stuff and it's gets confusing when you go look for it with dolphin/konqueror or a Qt dialong. | Nov 07 05:54 |
shreddar | The file management dialogs are really the only integration issues that bothered me. | Nov 07 05:56 |
DaemonFC | I love Yahoo Answers | Nov 07 06:12 |

DaemonFC | I feel like answering "Buy a bullet and rent a gun" | Nov 07 06:12 |
oiaohm | Really the filemangement stuff should be a standard somewhere shreddar. | Nov 07 06:17 |
shreddar | Yeah, that's what I'm saying. | Nov 07 06:17 |
shreddar | Like it should be more separated from the the toolkit or something. | Nov 07 06:18 |
shreddar | Freedesktop.org should deal with this. | Nov 07 06:18 |
shreddar | But they still haven't. | Nov 07 06:18 |
shreddar | Really the KDE folks just need to make a better web browser. | Nov 07 06:19 |
shreddar | The have 2 very good file managers but one shitty web browser. | Nov 07 06:19 |
shreddar | It's kind of funny actually. | Nov 07 06:20 |
shreddar | I don't know what they were thinking. | Nov 07 06:22 |
oiaohm | opera using qt as a back end for its interfaces shreddar | Nov 07 06:23 |
oiaohm | Ok pitty its closed source shreddar | Nov 07 06:23 |
shreddar | Opera sucks. I know I know but it does. | Nov 07 06:23 |
shreddar | It has the worst default out of all the browsers. | Nov 07 06:24 |
oiaohm | Qt firefox is coming. | Nov 07 06:24 |
oiaohm | nokia is the one behind the port shreddar | Nov 07 06:25 |
shreddar | I was keeping track of that too. But there hasn't been any news or anything in forever. | Nov 07 06:25 |
shreddar | I've been thinking it was abandoned. | Nov 07 06:26 |
shreddar | I'd love to try it out when it does come out just to see that dream come true though. | Nov 07 06:27 |

shreddar | I'm glad they're actually making head way on this. | Nov 07 06:31 |
shreddar | Have you played around with any of it yet? | Nov 07 06:32 |
oiaohm | qt parts are mainline firefox. | Nov 07 06:32 |
oiaohm | its just a long time process to make stable shreddar | Nov 07 06:32 |
oiaohm | It also using cairo for rendering that is also not stable. But runs rings around the standard gtk way. | Nov 07 06:33 |
shreddar | I can't wait to see what Nokia and Mozilla make of this. I know Nokia has a huge interest in QT now, I wonder it they could get other companies interested. | Nov 07 06:41 |
shreddar | I was one of the people thinking Chrome was going to use QT. | Nov 07 06:41 |
shreddar | I guess Google just wanted it to be optimized to work on Ubuntu's default desktop. | Nov 07 06:43 |
*DaemonFC has quit ("Leaving") | Nov 07 06:45 | |
shreddar | When qt-firefox finally comes out I think Kubuntu will increase in popularity. I think most people recognize KDE the best desktop on linux. | Nov 07 06:46 |
shreddar | But like me they also recognize firefox as the best browser and gimp as the best image editor. | Nov 07 06:48 |
oiaohm | gimp does have its weakness. | Nov 07 06:53 |
oiaohm | gimp combine with krita is a very complete tool. | Nov 07 06:53 |
shreddar | Yeah, gimp's 2 side bars being separate windows sometimes can be annoying and depending on the desktop can act up quite abit. | Nov 07 06:57 |
shreddar | They should have a setting where they don't overlap each over. | Nov 07 06:58 |
shreddar | I like to have a big window for the image but then my 2 side bars are obscured when ever I switch to it. | Nov 07 07:00 |
shreddar | Krita and Inkscape don't have that problem. | Nov 07 07:04 |

oiaohm | cmyk and the other non rgb formats gimp cannot handle at this stage shreddar | Nov 07 07:30 |
oiaohm | rgb, grayscale, cmyk, lab, ycbcr and spectral colorspaces << basically everything after the first 2 gimp is shot shreddar | Nov 07 07:32 |
oiaohm | And some of those are upto 32 bit per channel as well. shreddar | Nov 07 07:32 |
shreddar | I image cmyk can be put to good use. | Nov 07 07:35 |
shreddar | imagine | Nov 07 07:36 |
oiaohm | Also it has better tablet support. each pointer on a table can be assigned a different brush or action with krita. | Nov 07 07:37 |
shreddar | You can do that in Gimp too. | Nov 07 07:37 |
*DaemonFC has quit ("Leaving") | Nov 07 07:38 | |
shreddar | I just depends on the whim of the version you have. | Nov 07 07:38 |
oiaohm | I did not think gimp allowed assigning different colour to different pointers shreddar | Nov 07 07:39 |
shreddar | At first mine intuos worked like that but some update in ubuntu broke it. | Nov 07 07:39 |
shreddar | I could use the "eraser" end as a brush or a pencil and flip it over on the regular side a do the caligraphy tool. | Nov 07 07:41 |
shreddar | I haven't even tried it in Sabayon yet. | Nov 07 07:42 |
shreddar | I'm happy to here that Krita work with it too though. | Nov 07 07:43 |
shreddar | I don't think the Gimp people are doing their best to get it to work sometimes. There is still the problem where Gimp/Inkscape thinks the "mouse" thing is a "puck". | Nov 07 07:46 |

Eruaran | Their public statements may remain somewhat diplomatic, even affirming on Windows 7, but don't be surprised if you see a small number of new offerings appear. Including Android devices. | Nov 07 13:05 |

Eruaran | schestowitz, I'm part of a group which is partnered with Acer, our own sales of new systems with Windows 7 bumped up a bit the first week of its release and then tapered off again. In general sales increases are due to a number of factors. Christmas is coming, consumer confidence seems to be returning... Windows 7 at most is bringing about a return to 'normal' sales of Windows systems, nothing exciting, just a relief fr | Nov 07 13:31 |
Eruaran | The desktop PC market continues to shrink while mobile devices flourish and consumers demand better battery life from notebooks and netbooks. | Nov 07 13:31 |
Eruaran | In this changing market Microsoft is losing that 'status quo' that it relies upon. | Nov 07 13:32 |
Eruaran | ARM is in an increasingly strong position. | Nov 07 13:33 |
Eruaran | (to take advantage of this) | Nov 07 13:33 |
schestowitz | Exactly. Let me just do a post | Nov 07 13:35 |
Eruaran | Basically, Microsoft can make the best steam train they've ever made if they want. It doesn't matter. Everyone is moving to automobiles and aeroplanes. | Nov 07 13:36 |
cubezzz | heh | Nov 07 13:36 |
Eruaran | It wont be "Linux" systems that people will buy. It will be branded products running on a Linux kernel. Consumers like to be sold brands, and that momentum is now building. Just think "Android". | Nov 07 13:39 |
Eruaran | Canonical is also on the ball with that one, working hard to make "Ubuntu" a widely recognized brand. | Nov 07 13:40 |
schestowitz | Yes, they do well in netbooks | Nov 07 13:43 |
schestowitz | 30% of dell's sales | Nov 07 13:43 |

oiaohm | The thing that really threw me was on the charity stuff MinceR. We got a letter selling 12 dollar updates to inventory to get Windows 7. Then went to eopen and checked and all the licences we had were upgraded to support windows 7 for nothing. | Nov 07 16:48 |

MinceR | oiaohm: you mean throwing their crap at random organizations and then claiming it's "charity" and deducting it from their taxes? | Nov 07 16:49 |
oiaohm | LOL. | Nov 07 16:49 |
oiaohm | They charge the charity normally like 22 dollars a seat for licences MinceR | Nov 07 16:50 |
MinceR | oh, that's the best part, when it isn't even gratis | Nov 07 16:50 |
oiaohm | Then do a donation for the rest from RRP for the Tax Man MinceR | Nov 07 16:50 |
oiaohm | Yet the chartity does not get to see any of that money. | Nov 07 16:51 |
oiaohm | Its the a true rip off MinceR | Nov 07 16:51 |
oiaohm | It was odd this time around with the auto upgrade MinceR. | Nov 07 16:52 |
oiaohm | I really think the 22 a seat would be a fair price. | Nov 07 16:53 |
MinceR | i don't think there's a fair price for m$ products over 0. | Nov 07 16:55 |
MinceR | even 0 may be a stretch, considering the costs they incur by forcing people to use their shitty platform. | Nov 07 16:55 |
oiaohm | Price of disk and shipping MinceR | Nov 07 16:55 |
oiaohm | Comes to about 15 dollars in a lot of cases with handling. | Nov 07 16:55 |
MinceR | they should swallow those costs if they expect anyone to use their crap. | Nov 07 16:55 |
MinceR | or just let people download it. | Nov 07 16:56 |
oiaohm | And 7 dollars to bribe the sales person to bite there toung. | Nov 07 16:56 |
MinceR | strangely enough, Canonical manages to ship stuff that doesn't suck nearly so much, gratis. | Nov 07 16:56 |
oiaohm | Canonical has funding to do that MinceR. | Nov 07 16:57 |
MinceR | so does m$ | Nov 07 16:57 |
MinceR | they've stolen enough money to fund such a thing for a few decades. | Nov 07 16:57 |
oiaohm | At the rate MS wastes money. | Nov 07 16:57 |
oiaohm | They might not have a few decades | Nov 07 16:58 |

_Hicham_ | just two | Nov 07 18:48 |
ender2070_ | banshee | Nov 07 18:48 |
_Hicham_ | banshee is hosted within gnome ? | Nov 07 18:48 |
ender2070_ | it will be | Nov 07 18:48 |
MinceR | gnome do | Nov 07 18:48 |
_Hicham_ | is it in ftp.gnome.org ? | Nov 07 18:48 |
ender2070_ | novell owns gnome, iirc | Nov 07 18:48 |
_Hicham_ | i am talking about the official gnome apps | Nov 07 18:48 |
_Hicham_ | no, RedHat is hostin gnome | Nov 07 18:48 |
_Hicham_ | to be clear | Nov 07 18:48 |
ender2070_ | hosting | Nov 07 18:48 |
ender2070_ | i host all kinds of sites, doesnt mean i own them | Nov 07 18:49 |
_Hicham_ | RedHat is providing the necessary infrastructure | Nov 07 18:49 |
lordtoran | Chips_B_Malroy: i think MS knows the future is embedded, so they won't be able to charge extra for an OS | Nov 07 18:49 |
ender2070_ | novell owns the people who run gnome | Nov 07 18:49 |
_Hicham_ | no, RedHat contributes more to gnome than Novell | Nov 07 18:49 |
_Hicham_ | no, they don't | Nov 07 18:49 |
ender2070_ | they dont own Miguel? | Nov 07 18:49 |
_Hicham_ | an apps must meat some criteria to be included in gnome | Nov 07 18:50 |
_Hicham_ | Miguel is from Novell | Nov 07 18:50 |
ender2070_ | Miguel invented gnome, its his pet | Nov 07 18:50 |
_Hicham_ | though he is the one to start gnome project, doesn't mean he own it | Nov 07 18:50 |
_Hicham_ | it is not his pet | Nov 07 18:50 |
_Hicham_ | he just started it | Nov 07 18:50 |
_Hicham_ | a lot of people have helped | Nov 07 18:50 |
_Hicham_ | without that help, gnome wouldn't have seen daylight | Nov 07 18:51 |
ender2070_ | yeah | Nov 07 18:51 |
ender2070_ | i still think he has some say in decisions | Nov 07 18:51 |
Chips_B_Malroy | lordtoran> MS can only make money selling computer hardware "IF" it adopts the same model as Apple. EFI chips | Nov 07 18:51 |
ender2070_ | for instance, he wants gnome 4 written in C# | Nov 07 18:51 |
_Hicham_ | if he is that interested in gnome, why doesn't he host gnome on Novell, and let RedHat do it ? | Nov 07 18:51 |
ender2070_ | how can he force that | Nov 07 18:51 |
ender2070_ | if hes not in control | Nov 07 18:51 |
_Hicham_ | he is just talking | Nov 07 18:52 |
_Hicham_ | RedHat won't agree | Nov 07 18:52 |
MinceR | _Hicham_: because this way Red Hat pays the bills | Nov 07 18:52 |
MinceR | and they're willing to do so | Nov 07 18:52 |
ender2070_ | i would agree with mincer | Nov 07 18:52 |
ender2070_ | i was about to say that | Nov 07 18:52 |
ender2070_ | as long as miguel does things covertly redhat will probably keep doing so | Nov 07 18:52 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : how hosting gnome will help them pay the bills ? | Nov 07 18:52 |
MinceR | _Hicham_: Red Hat pays the costs that hosting gnome incurs, not Novell | Nov 07 18:53 |
lordtoran | Chips_B_Malroy: I see them mostly rebranding stuff built by someone else | Nov 07 18:53 |
MinceR | why would novell or miguel want to change this as long as they can control gnome as much as before? | Nov 07 18:53 |
lordtoran | the zune was a toshiba player, their keyboards and mice are logitech IIRC | Nov 07 18:53 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : i know, and RedHat is against using Mono | Nov 07 18:53 |
MinceR | afaik their keyboards and mice are their own | Nov 07 18:54 |
Chips_B_Malroy | lordtoran> agreed that someone else makes the hardware for them mostly | Nov 07 18:54 |
lordtoran | they o9nly wrote the software for the zune | Nov 07 18:54 |
MinceR | they certainly seem to suck more than any logitech product would | Nov 07 18:54 |
lordtoran | *only | Nov 07 18:54 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : they are not controlling it | Nov 07 18:54 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : and gnome will be always C-based | Nov 07 18:54 |
MinceR | _Hicham_: how do you know that? | Nov 07 18:55 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - we dont know this to be 100% | Nov 07 18:55 |
Chips_B_Malroy | I had an MS Intellimouse, it was a great mouse, but like all things MS, in 2 and 1/2 years the left mouse switch went bad | Nov 07 18:55 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : because I always talk about that with RedHat devs who are working on GNOME | Nov 07 18:55 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : I know the vision from official devs | Nov 07 18:56 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : and not based on some speculations | Nov 07 18:56 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : if RedHat was interested in Mono, they would have started coding in it | Nov 07 18:56 |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : take the Java's example | Nov 07 18:56 |
lordtoran | i use mice from A4Tech, these are also logitech clones, but sometimes more durable than the original | Nov 07 18:57 |
MinceR | i used to use a4tech mice but then i got a desk they couldn't cope with | Nov 07 18:57 |
MinceR | so i switched to logitech | Nov 07 18:57 |
lordtoran | anyway, 2.5 years for a mouse is not that bad | Nov 07 18:57 |
MinceR | logitech's optical tech is superior | Nov 07 18:57 |
_Hicham_ | Mince : Before starting to write JBoss, they created the IcedTea project, to provide a 100% FOSS Java JDK | Nov 07 18:57 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - i think that Redhat will keep doing so until mono is more intrenched | Nov 07 18:57 |
Chips_B_Malroy | even the mouse that you get from dollar store lasts longer than the M$ Intellimouse | Nov 07 18:57 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : they will never make Mono a dependency | Nov 07 18:58 |
MinceR | i've checked m$'s keyboards at a store -- each one was broken in a different way :) | Nov 07 18:58 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : simply because they don't trust it | Nov 07 18:58 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - in fedora 11 (non-live-cd) it installs mono | Nov 07 18:58 |
ender2070_ | if you chose everything | Nov 07 18:58 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : Fedora is one things and RHEL is another thing | Nov 07 18:59 |
lordtoran | i would never buy anything from MS, even hardware, so i cannot talk from experience ;-) | Nov 07 18:59 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : plus Rahul Sundaram is really worried about Mono intrusion | Nov 07 18:59 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : he is the maintainer of Gnote | Nov 07 18:59 |

lordtoran | the shops here in germany mostly are half logitech, half MS, and one meter of no name mice | Nov 07 18:59 |
schestowitz | Unless s/t is clicked accidentally | Nov 07 18:59 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - i understand, i know redhat's worries | Nov 07 18:59 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : and he is the one who pushed it in F12 | Nov 07 18:59 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - gnote and gthumb are in F11's livecd | Nov 07 19:00 |

schestowitz | I have a post on that coming | Nov 07 19:01 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : Fedora is mainly using either C or Python for developing apps | Nov 07 19:01 |
schestowitz | They make GNOME 3.0 more MOno-dependent | Nov 07 19:01 |
schestowitz | I found some SUSE post about it todauy | Nov 07 19:01 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : how ? | Nov 07 19:01 |
schestowitz | Nevertheless, OpenSUSE turned to KDE4 | Nov 07 19:01 |
schestowitz | So benefit of the doubt here... not that I trust Canonical re Mono... Red hat can be trusted | Nov 07 19:02 |
ender2070_ | opensuse will be interesting to try out | Nov 07 19:02 |
lordtoran | well, desktops are no growth market anymore, so they have to enter already saturated markets with their "ideas" | Nov 07 19:02 |
_Hicham_ | schestowitz : gnome doesn't depend on Mono | Nov 07 19:02 |
lordtoran | that's funny to look at | Nov 07 19:02 |
_Hicham_ | and it will never be | Nov 07 19:02 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ gnome *core* might not depend on mono, but they are replacing all the default apps | Nov 07 19:02 |
schestowitz | [18:53] <lordtoran> Chips_B_Malroy: I see them mostly rebranding stuff built by someone else | Nov 07 19:02 |
schestowitz | Zune =Toshiba PDA | Nov 07 19:03 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : what default apps ? | Nov 07 19:03 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - banshee is a new one | Nov 07 19:03 |
lordtoran | schestowitz, yep, I had that from BN | Nov 07 19:03 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - just watch, it will become a default | Nov 07 19:03 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : the default, I don't think so, it depends on distributions | Nov 07 19:04 |
ender2070_ | schestowitz - i do believe redhat can be trusted, some of the kde team are aware of the mono issues too | Nov 07 19:04 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : look at epiphany, it was never the default browser in any distro | Nov 07 19:04 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - somewhat, the distros that care will filter the default gnome apps | Nov 07 19:04 |
schestowitz | _Hicham_: I will post about Monome soon | Nov 07 19:04 |
schestowitz | I need to organise the evidence | Nov 07 19:04 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Their (MS) "ideas" have always been to copy someone elses ideas. It used to be they stole from IBM OS/2, including the new voice dictation in Vista, which was put into Warp 4 in 1998. That was about the last thing MS could "innovate" from OS/2. So now the "ideas" must come from Linux and Apple. | Nov 07 19:05 |
_Hicham_ | ender2070_ : even though the official browser at gnome | Nov 07 19:05 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - exactly, i still think banshee will be a default but most probably wont include it | Nov 07 19:05 |

*MinceR feels sorry for _Hicham_ | Nov 07 19:06 | |
_Hicham_ | MinceR : why do u feel sorry for me ? | Nov 07 19:07 |
schestowitz | lordtoran: yes, but what info can we add? Is there a video? | Nov 07 19:07 |
MinceR | because you're a novell customer | Nov 07 19:07 |
MinceR | which makes you a victim | Nov 07 19:07 |
ender2070_ | _Hicham_ - instead of complaining all the time im going to promote KDE/QT as a superior alternative to Gnome/GTK# | Nov 07 19:07 |
lordtoran | i'll look | Nov 07 19:07 |
Diablo-D3 | ender2070_: so.... | Nov 07 19:07 |
*lordtoran researches | Nov 07 19:07 | |
MinceR | well, if what oiaohm said earlier is true, then KDE is doomed as well | Nov 07 19:07 |
Diablo-D3 | you're going to promote fucking shit as an alternative to fucking shit? | Nov 07 19:07 |
ender2070_ | why is KDE doomed? | Nov 07 19:07 |
Diablo-D3 | dumbass. | Nov 07 19:07 |
ender2070_ | Diablo-D3 - KDE > gnome | Nov 07 19:08 |
_Hicham_ | GTK# is just a binding, gnome will NEVER used it for the core apps | Nov 07 19:08 |
schestowitz | KDE is fantastic | Nov 07 19:08 |
schestowitz | Diablo-D3 spouts FUD about it | Nov 07 19:08 |
ender2070_ | ahhhhhh | Nov 07 19:08 |
MinceR | because it already doesn't play quite nice with other desktop components (window managers, desktop managers, panels, etc.) | Nov 07 19:08 |
MinceR | oiaohm said they're going to merge kwin with plasma, which is even worse | Nov 07 19:08 |
ender2070_ | LOL | Nov 07 19:08 |
ender2070_ | nah | Nov 07 19:09 |
MinceR | there already are plasma-based systray applets, which means that if you're using a non-kde systray, those icons won't appear | Nov 07 19:09 |
ender2070_ | only if you dont like kde already | Nov 07 19:09 |
Diablo-D3 | FUD? | Nov 07 19:09 |
Diablo-D3 | dude | Nov 07 19:09 |
Diablo-D3 | its unsuable, bloated, slow shit | Nov 07 19:09 |
_Hicham_ | Linux is going toward a monolithic desktop | Nov 07 19:09 |
Diablo-D3 | dont forget, I test it periodically | Nov 07 19:09 |
_Hicham_ | that is the same for GNOME | Nov 07 19:09 |
ender2070_ | Diablo-D3 - I don't have a PC slower than a core2 | Nov 07 19:09 |
Diablo-D3 | ender2070_: neither do I | Nov 07 19:09 |
MinceR | it's quite functional currently, but i don't like the way it's built | Nov 07 19:09 |
Diablo-D3 | in fact, my machines probably beefier than yours | Nov 07 19:09 |
_Hicham_ | we will have more integration, instead of loosely coupled components | Nov 07 19:09 |
ender2070_ | gnome feels way more sluggish | Nov 07 19:09 |
MinceR | btw, KDE4.3 works fine on my atom-based netbook | Nov 07 19:09 |
Diablo-D3 | gnome is extremely fast | Nov 07 19:09 |
MinceR | even with compositing | Nov 07 19:10 |
Diablo-D3 | but if it starts going c#, Ill just make my own fucking desktop | Nov 07 19:10 |
ender2070_ | KDE even has - configuration options | Nov 07 19:10 |
MinceR | the only thing that doesn't work so well is the crossfade plasma does when switching wallpapers | Nov 07 19:10 |
MinceR | so i switched it to a single background | Nov 07 19:10 |
MinceR | gnome has configuration options too, they're only hidden in gconf-editor. | Nov 07 19:10 |
_Hicham_ | I know about future gnome vision, and it is just fantastic | Nov 07 19:10 |
ender2070_ | Diablo-D3 - theres always xfce | Nov 07 19:10 |
MinceR | xfce is just gnome light | Nov 07 19:10 |
_Hicham_ | Linux should have gnome that way since a long time ago | Nov 07 19:11 |
_Hicham_ | s/gnome/gone | Nov 07 19:11 |
ender2070_ | MinceR- gconf-editor is as user friendly as regedit | Nov 07 19:11 |
Eruaran | 'hidden' configuration options is not useful to end users | Nov 07 19:11 |
MinceR | ender2070_: not really | Nov 07 19:11 |
MinceR | ender2070_: it has a reasonable structure | Nov 07 19:11 |
MinceR | no grappling with UUIDs | Nov 07 19:11 |
ender2070_ | its still a maze | Nov 07 19:11 |
MinceR | and mysteriously named nodes like HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Nov 07 19:11 |
ender2070_ | whats wrong with a settings window in the app im using | Nov 07 19:11 |
MinceR | there's nothing wrong with it | Nov 07 19:11 |
_Hicham_ | gconf-editor is fairly evident | Nov 07 19:11 |
_Hicham_ | and self-explanatory | Nov 07 19:11 |
ender2070_ | like every other app | Nov 07 19:11 |
MinceR | but sadly the gnome guys have adopted the crApple approach to usability | Nov 07 19:11 |
Eruaran | not if users can't find it | Nov 07 19:12 |
ender2070_ | gconf-editor isnt hard, but its the wrong approach | Nov 07 19:12 |
-BNc/#boycottnovell-[davidgerard] RT @stellacreasy Oh god- just heard Slade being played for the first time this year. It's only just November! | Nov 07 19:12 | |

Eruaran | With Novell's trajectory I'd expect to see a forked gnome within two years | Nov 07 19:19 |
schestowitz | yes, Richard Dale and another Nordic guy wrote the bindings | Nov 07 19:19 |

Chips_B_Malroy | So we seeing Windows CE now be ported to Arm laptops | Nov 07 20:52 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Yes, but they had to buy CE from MS, which means that MS is going try to do another end run in the USA like they did with XP on netbooks | Nov 07 20:53 |
