KDE/Meetings/2008 05 14-transcript
From openSUSE
[20:01:56] <Beineri> so, "Welcome to the openSUSE KDE team meeting!" [20:02:12] <Beineri> do we have an agenda? :-) [20:02:31] <Beineri> usually we have [20:02:36] <Beineri> * old action items [20:02:39] Join _Z has joined this channel (n=nome@189-31-167-104.bsace702.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br). [20:02:39] <Beineri> * status [20:02:47] <Beineri> * stuff from the wiki page [20:02:50] <Beineri> * misc/QA [20:02:53] Nick _Z is now known as _ZORD_. [20:02:53] <Beineri> anything else? [20:02:54] * dirk has oxygen<-> suse oxygen / default theming [20:03:07] <Beineri> that's also on http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings/ [20:03:52] <Beineri> there were no new action items last time? http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings/20080430 [20:03:54] <dirk> yeah, mine is about renaming oxygen to suseoxygen and about the blurry icons in the taskbar [20:04:12] <Beineri> * add packaging guideline for kde4 packages [20:04:29] <dirk> no progress :( [20:04:33] <Beineri> still no volunteer? [20:04:59] <dirk> mrdocs kind of volunteered some time ago :) [20:05:36] <Beineri> * more blogging (all) :) [20:05:51] * Beineri still waits for dirk's first post on http://lizards.opensuse.org/ :-) [20:06:25] <Beineri> * talk to zonker/announce bug day (beineri) [20:06:28] <Beineri> uhm, yeah. [20:06:31] <Beineri> jbrockmeier: let's talk ;-) [20:06:34] <dirk> Beineri: I could blog about my new workstation :) [20:06:49] <Beineri> dirk: not sure this would be on-topic :-) [20:07:10] <Beineri> jbrockmeier: when are the next Bugsquash team days, is KDE planned as a topic? :-) [20:08:25] <Beineri> 3...2... 1 [20:08:32] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: KDE is planned [20:08:44] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: a date is not yet set, though. [20:08:53] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: maybe we should do one next week? [20:08:55] <Beineri> jbrockmeier: roughly before or after 11.0 release? :-) [20:09:18] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: I think before would be better, yeah? [20:09:19] <Beineri> jbrockmeier: what day? [20:09:36] * Beineri thinks the last one on Friday was not so successfull. [20:09:39] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: as I understand it, Thursday is a holiday, right? [20:09:50] <Beineri> thursday is a public holiday, at least in Germany [20:09:56] <Beineri> (or Bavaria) [20:10:18] <Beineri> 22th [20:10:24] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: well, I was thinking Friday would be the best day, but I'm open to suggestions. [20:10:41] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: do we have KDE folks willing to assist? :-) [20:10:49] <Beineri> would be also someone there on Saturday? [20:11:07] <cb400f> hm, grundleborg spoke of upstream kde bugsquashing earlier [20:11:18] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: I'm going to be in NUE next week, so I'm available any day [20:11:27] <Beineri> yeah, KDE does some Konqueror bug screening on Sunday iirc [20:12:17] <Beineri> what would be our focus? kde4? kde3 bugs of old releases? [20:12:21] <cb400f> .. and every two weeks.. would it make sense to coordinate? .. or better to keep things apart? [20:12:47] <Beineri> cb400f: imo keep apart, the clean up KDE Bugzilla and we want to cleanup our :-) [20:13:10] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: aren't most of the bugs against KDE with openSUSE also upstream? [20:13:34] Quit _ZORD_ has left this server ("CyberScript - O único script que cuida de sua mulher enquanto o ricardão não chega. (www.cyberscript.org)"). [20:13:37] <Beineri> jbrockmeier: maybe, who knows before :-) [20:13:50] * dirk is not around next weekend [20:13:54] <jbrockmeier> who else in the meeting is willing to help with a bug day? I can put up an announcement pretty quickly if we settle on a date and I know we've got participants. [20:14:09] <Beineri> dirk: what about Friday? [20:15:09] <dirk> to be clear, I'll be away from 22nd-26th [20:15:12] * Beineri detects lack of participants :-| [20:16:14] <Beineri> so fallback to plan A and big bug screening after release of KDE3 bugs? [20:16:55] <cb400f> maybe even wait for 4.1 and include 4.0 bugs? [20:16:56] <dirk> makes most sense to me [20:17:20] <Beineri> cb400f: we can make two sesions, not necessary to do everything in one :-) [20:17:32] <dirk> cb400f: there is not much difference between 4.0 4.1 bugs at this point in time.. but maybe around 11.1 development there will be [20:17:47] <cb400f> ok [20:18:09] <jpr> so, i'd like to have a 10.3 review for gnome too [20:18:15] <jpr> so maybe we can do a joint day [20:18:19] <jpr> for gnome/kde [20:18:25] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: ? you mean beta 3? [20:18:29] <jpr> ie 'desktop bug squash day' [20:18:46] <Beineri> jbrockmeier: with "release"? no, 11.0 final [20:19:03] <jbrockmeier> cb400f, dirk -- what about cleaning things up for 11.0? [20:19:05] * mrdocs waves [20:19:22] <mrdocs> dirk: yeah i need to write the rpm QA page [20:19:40] <dirk> jpr: whats the advantage of doing one together? [20:19:45] * cyberorg would be available for testing on bug day if required [20:19:52] <dirk> jpr: more work for those who would participate in both sessions? :) [20:20:05] <jpr> just more energy from more people [20:20:14] <jbrockmeier> jpr: I like that idea... [20:20:34] <jpr> dirk is right there would be some overlap [20:20:42] <dirk> jbrockmeier: hmm, I'm not against some pre-cleaning [20:20:49] <jpr> but in terms of joint, its kind of like packaging days [20:20:53] <dirk> jbrockmeier: but the only job would be to "figure out which things we have to fix for 11.0" [20:21:07] <jbrockmeier> dirk: also easier to publicize, may draw more involvement. [20:21:18] <jbrockmeier> dirk: right [20:21:30] <dirk> jbrockmeier: this priorization is probably something where the community cannot help that much [20:21:39] <jbrockmeier> dirk: I want 11.0 to be as close to perfect as possible, I'm going to be spending a lot of time trying to get it reviewed... :-) [20:21:51] <dirk> helping with "is this kde3 bug still in kde4?" is something that can be scaled better, so I would like to try some bug squashing with that [20:22:00] <dirk> mrdocs: yeah, I'm lazy with that as well [20:22:11] <dirk> mrdocs: I guess we'll have to set a fixed date to make it happen :) [20:22:30] <dirk> jbrockmeier: find 200 more developers then ;) [20:22:36] <mrdocs> dirk: im not lazy.. just time.. just back from LGM in Poland (was excellent) [20:23:09] <cyberorg> jbrockmeier, if you do announce bug day, ask people to arm themselves with the latest factory live CDs if they cannot have factory installed [20:23:13] <dirk> jbrockmeier: joke aside, if you think that it makes sense to involve more people in tagging "must be fixed for 11.0", I'm all for it [20:23:14] * jbrockmeier looks around apartment for developers for dirk [20:23:53] <dirk> there are probably a lot of bugs around that should be fixed, but some of them must be fixed for release [20:23:55] <cb400f> jbrockmeier: 11.0 has too many things going against it.. it just has to be ok, it's a stepping stone for the world domination release (11.1) [20:24:05] <cb400f> ;-) [20:24:08] <jbrockmeier> dirk: I'm happy to defer to experience here - but I think we need to be doing something to start getting outside contributors to look for bug days and contribute. [20:24:12] <dirk> jbrockmeier: there is this voting feature in bugzilla.novell.com but it doesn't seem to be widely used or known [20:24:24] Join mrdocs2 has joined this channel (n=mrdocs@ARennes-257-1-121-186.w86-210.abo.wanadoo.fr). [20:24:49] <dirk> unfortunately 11.1 will be late for a November 11th release [20:24:58] <dirk> and too early for January 11th ;) [20:25:11] <cb400f> :-) [20:25:22] <jbrockmeier> I like jpr's idea of a joint desktop bug squashing party [20:26:14] * dirk is kind of against it as it will end up in "desktop A has more bugs than desktop B" etc [20:26:32] <jbrockmeier> dirk: why would that happen? [20:26:36] * Beineri has no strong opinion for either [20:26:40] <jbrockmeier> I certainly wouldn't encourage that. [20:27:06] <dirk> jbrockmeier: because both are screened at the same time? might happen anyway, you're right [20:27:14] <jbrockmeier> dirk: besides, we can just point to twm and say it has more bugs.. ;-) [20:27:39] <dirk> in the end its all a kernel bug anyway.. if the kernel wouldn't work noone would complain about bugs in the desktop ;) [20:27:42] <Beineri> and jpr's expertice with that may help us to kick off community kde bug-screening ;-) [20:28:07] <jbrockmeier> jpr: still with us? [20:28:13] <jbrockmeier> jpr: any dates that work best for you? [20:28:16] <jpr> i'd also like a common set of triage rules anyhow [20:28:25] <jpr> have to discuss in the gnome meeting tomorrow [20:28:35] <jpr> so how about a date proposed here [20:28:42] <jbrockmeier> jpr: good point - good way to streamline and encourage a common set of triage rules. [20:28:43] <jpr> and i'll take it to the gnome meeting tomorrow [20:28:57] <jbrockmeier> jpr: how does next Friday sound, or is that too soon? [20:29:05] <jpr> sounds bad [20:29:08] <jpr> rc1 submissions [20:29:34] <Beineri> well, all the time is now for rc1 :-) [20:29:53] <jpr> yes, but thats the final deadline for non-leaf at least [20:30:20] <jpr> my suggestion would be one week or two weeks from today [20:30:33] <Beineri> 23th? I hope not :-| [20:30:50] <jpr> have i got the sched wrong/ [20:30:54] * jpr looks [20:31:16] * Beineri hopes that submissions on Monday evening (UTC) will still be possible. [20:31:28] <Beineri> in two weeks is LinuxTag running </remind> [20:31:35] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: right. [20:32:13] <dirk> so how about 22nd then only? [20:32:13] <jpr> ok, i'll take the 23rd to the meeting tomorrow [20:32:21] <jpr> also good with me [20:32:31] <jpr> may 22nd then/ [20:32:32] <Beineri> Seli: do you have time then? [20:33:00] <Beineri> wstephenson will be obliged if he has no vacation :-) [20:33:04] <Seli> Beineri: yes, it seems [20:33:55] <dirk> the target was "find bugs that have to be fixed for 11.0" ? [20:34:15] <dirk> or "close old/no longer reproducible" reports" ? [20:34:37] * jpr thinks the second for sure [20:34:58] <dirk> if its just the 2nd, then why the hassle of doing it before 11.0 ? [20:35:23] <jpr> i didn't think it was mutually exclusive [20:36:08] <dirk> what about a general "vote on 11.0 blockers" bugday? [20:36:19] <dirk> so that we have a clearer understanding of must-fix'es as seen by the community? [20:36:27] <dirk> we can do the "cleanup old stuff" for both desktops after 11.0 release [20:36:35] * jpr likes that [20:36:42] <jpr> promoting bug voting is a good thing [20:36:46] <Seli> that'd be more useful IMHO, we're going to have rough edges anyway, but we at least should try to avoid those that many people would see as big problems [20:37:09] * djouallah will vote for the proxy bug [20:37:27] <dirk> jbrockmeier: any opinion? [20:37:31] <jbrockmeier> jpr, dirk - so we're agreed, May 22nd a "vote on blockers" bug day? [20:37:45] <jbrockmeier> dirk: I like it. [20:37:58] <jbrockmeier> jpr: you'll float with the GNOME meeting tomorrow? [20:37:59] <jpr> sounds good [20:38:01] <jpr> yup [20:38:02] <jbrockmeier> (float it) [20:38:05] <jbrockmeier> OK [20:38:19] <jbrockmeier> I'll start pulling together an announcement, then. [20:38:42] <Beineri> tough one ;-)... [20:38:45] <jbrockmeier> jpr: if it is approved in the GNOME meeting, let me know and I'll let the announcement out. [20:38:45] <Beineri> * announce new round of kdepim packages (bille) [20:39:26] <dirk> jbrockmeier: to be clear, it will be not only gnome/kde you can vote on, but also yast, base system etc, right? [20:39:30] <Beineri> according to log of last meetings was planned for 15th? [20:40:00] <dirk> I think the action item is older [20:40:05] <dirk> it was about the 4.0.69 kdepim packages [20:40:12] <Beineri> dopne or not? [20:40:20] <dirk> as far as I know it wasn't done [20:40:25] <jbrockmeier> dirk: sure [20:40:32] <dirk> I haven't seen it announced anywhere, at least not on opensuse-kde@ or in a blog [20:40:45] <dirk> .. next [20:40:48] <Beineri> someone kick wstephenson ;-) [20:40:52] <Beineri> * backport spellchecker stuff for kdepim41 (llunak) [20:40:55] <Beineri> that's done [20:40:55] <dirk> done [20:41:00] <Beineri> wiki page for KDE4 testing (bille) [20:41:07] <dirk> thanks to Seli for delivering on time :) [20:41:31] <dirk> Beineri: next [20:41:34] * Beineri guesses "not done" [20:41:36] <dirk> afaik nothing was done [20:41:48] <Beineri> So, **** STATUS **** [20:42:14] <Beineri> seems Beta 3 will be released without the usual delay on Thursday [20:42:50] <Beineri> several bugs were fixed since submission deadline [20:43:08] <dirk> yeah, in general, please add the KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop repository before reporting bugs [20:43:14] <Beineri> so best would be packages from build services to test, unfortunately they almost never build in there for Factory :-| [20:43:29] <dirk> there are a couple of annoying things in beta3 which are already fixed [20:43:52] <dirk> I think since last meeting we have KDE 4.0.4, qt 4.4.0 (final, plus additional bugfixes) [20:43:59] <dirk> new kdepim stack [20:44:03] <Beineri> we can only submit our packages from there more regularly to Factory so we better hit the next checkin/build/sync-out [20:44:06] <dirk> quite some integration fixes with compiz [20:44:59] <Beineri> who runs latest KDE4 packages, either from Factory or build service? :-) [20:45:03] <dirk> most notably kde4-kdm in beta3 is completely broken (focus issues, you can't type in the password) [20:45:28] <Seli> what's the current status with factory submissions? is it ok to still update 4_0_BRANCH.diff, or have fixes to be separate patches? [20:45:30] * Beineri hopes auto-login works ;-) [20:45:36] <dirk> Beineri: autologin works [20:46:25] <dirk> Seli: I'm not sure.. at the moment I would prefer branch diff updates if they are reasonable (e.g. don't add too many things that are not from us) [20:46:26] <Beineri> something is happening with knetworkmanager... [20:46:30] <Beineri> don't ask me what ;-) [20:46:49] <dirk> I've also done a branch diff update for KDE3 [20:47:03] <dirk> without any testing, so people who like KDE3, please give it a try in Beta3 :) [20:47:23] <jbrockmeier> any chance of a KDE3 live CD for 11.0? [20:47:48] <Beineri> jbrockmeier: do you volunteer to make one? :-) [20:47:56] <dirk> jbrockmeier: officially or unofficial? [20:48:14] <jbrockmeier> dirk: preferably official, but either way [20:48:19] <jbrockmeier> dirk: I'd use it :-) [20:48:21] <Beineri> "how to build your own live cd", http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-05/msg00231.html [20:48:27] <dirk> the main problem with the live cd's is that somebody has to test them, they break like every 2nd day [20:48:52] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: I thought the point of being community manager was that other people would do the work for me? ;-) [20:49:27] <dirk> ah, true, thats why you're a community manage and not a community architect ;) [20:49:37] * jbrockmeier goes off to read about Live CDs [20:49:38] <Beineri> some unofficial KDE3 and/or XFCE CD would be a nice show-case for kiwi etc. [20:49:52] <dirk> jbrockmeier: it should be possible to do them with suse studio or even with the opensuse buildservice [20:50:01] <Beineri> Fedora released with several unoffical spins this week btw.... [20:50:28] <dirk> internally the livecd's are autogenerated from the factory build automatically, it should be easy to reuse that magic for a xfce, e17 or a kde3 cd [20:50:43] <Beineri> dirk: suse what? some secret project? :-) [20:50:47] * dirk would love to have a "just the ncurses stuff, dude" cd [20:51:43] * Beineri doesn't want to see a KDE3 Live-CD from himself though ;-)... would give some "see, the KDE team doesn't trust KDE4" impression imo [20:51:45] <mrdocs2> heh [20:52:14] <dirk> yep, it kind of devalues the hard work we've put into kde4 the last few weeks [20:52:15] <cb400f> Beineri: that would be a good impression ;-) [20:52:20] <jbrockmeier> Beineri: nah - I just think that a lot of users will want the familiar desktop [20:52:33] <toma> dirk: how much was the branch diff for kde3? [20:52:43] <jbrockmeier> dirk: it's not a commentary on KDE4, it's more of a "I'm used to 3" issue. [20:52:49] <dirk> toma: parse error? [20:52:55] <dirk> toma: how many changes? how much work? [20:53:37] <toma> dirk: how big was the diff? if it was substential, we might want to do a release upstream [20:54:29] <dirk> toma: 672kb of diff in total [20:54:47] <dirk> 320kb is kdepim3 [20:54:54] <dirk> the rest is just some new translations, not a lot [20:55:00] <toma> hm, ok [20:55:29] <dirk> other than some kmail bugfixes and the kdesu fixes from lubos I don't know of anything significant [20:55:32] * cb400f thinks kde team did wonders with kde 4.0, but still wouldn't trust it enough to install it for his mother [20:55:49] <dirk> cb400f: again, mother domination is a planned feature for 11.1 ;) [20:56:03] <cb400f> yup [20:56:10] Whois cb400f is n=cb400f@opensuse/member/Cb400f (Martin Schlander) [20:56:10] Whois cb400f is a user on channels: #dansk-gruppen #fsf #fsfeurope #gnu #kde #kde-i18n #linuxparty.dk #openSUSE-project #opensuse-bugs #opensuse-chat #opensuse-factory #opensuse-kde #opensuse-translation #planet.opensource.dk #sslug #suse [20:56:10] Whois cb400f is online via irc.freenode.net (http://freenode.net/). [20:56:10] Whois cb400f is an identified user. [20:56:10] Whois End of WHOIS list. [20:56:12] <Beineri> anything else to say about "state"? Some problems not getting the right portion of love? [20:56:24] <dirk> cb400f: so how about you help zonker with the kde3 livecd? :) [20:56:48] Join brun0_|laptop has joined this channel (n=brun0_@virlet2.rez-gif.supelec.fr). [20:57:01] <dirk> Beineri: thats Q&A [20:57:03] <cb400f> hehe.. I don't fully trust the live cds either :-) .. people should just get the dvd for various reasons [20:57:05] <dirk> Beineri: next [20:57:13] <Beineri> so, topics from the wiki [20:57:17] <mrdocs2> btw kde 4.0.4 on 10.3 seems very solid now... i NX'd into my desktop over LGM and not an issue to be seen [20:57:18] <Beineri> cb400f wants to ask for feedback [20:57:44] <jbrockmeier> dirk: ... [20:57:55] <jbrockmeier> you might want to rephrase that, just FYI ;-) [20:58:30] <Beineri> cb400f: typing? :-) [20:58:30] <cb400f> well.. (almost) latest version of the yast oxygen theme is available for 10.3, version in factory is very outdated.. so if something hurts your eyes let me know and I'll do what I can: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=74690 .. that's all [20:59:39] <Beineri> cb400f: do you have a tarball of all latest icons for download? [20:59:53] <dirk> cb400f: why is the factory version not updated? [21:00:02] Quit brun0_ has left this server (Remote closed the connection). [21:00:17] <cb400f> dirk: because I'm trying not to drive coolo crazy, and I was too slow for b3 [21:00:31] <cb400f> coolo is my link to opensuse svn ;-) [21:00:33] <dirk> cb400f: artwork is no code, no problem with updating that ;) [21:00:57] Nick sven423^onAir is now known as sven423. [21:01:36] <Beineri> next, cb400 wants to talk about "default windeco color" and dirk about "oxygen<-> suse oxygen / default theming" [21:02:16] <cb400f> http://suse.linuxin.dk/current.tar.bz2 .. that's latest.. 4-5 icons changed compared to package on kde-look [21:02:32] Join coolo has joined this channel (n=coolo@kde/opensuse.member.Coolo). [21:03:13] <Beineri> who wants to start? :-) [21:03:15] <cb400f> yes, I think the current light blue is not very pretty [21:03:26] <Beineri> agree [21:03:27] * dirk agrees [21:03:58] <Seli> don't look at me, that's the default :) [21:04:08] <cb400f> Beineri made some screenshots with grey windeco which is nice and neutral and consistent with kdm/boot/grub artwork [21:04:15] <Beineri> that's http://ktown.kde.org/~binner/winborder/ [21:04:24] <Seli> why is there no proposal with green? does that look bad? [21:04:30] <Beineri> different grays and blues... [21:04:48] <Beineri> cyberorg had one... [21:05:13] <cb400f> also matches aya pretty well (this one) [21:05:21] <cyberorg>
[21:05:25] <Seli> btw, there's an option to make decorations semi-transparent with kwin, but that's indeed not for the default [21:05:56] <cb400f> I don't think green windeco with green wallpaper works.. otherwise I'd be pro green everything [21:06:10] <dirk>
is the oxygen artists preference [21:06:35] <dirk> but it looks a bit dark again.. almost like the "black is beautiful" look of upstream 4.0 :) [21:06:43] <Seli> I thought no color there was their preference [21:06:51] <Beineri> dirk: plural or one of them (ruphy)? [21:06:56] <dirk> Beineri: ruphy [21:07:19] Join eeanm has joined this channel (n=ian@amarok/developer/eean). [21:07:24] <eeanm> I always get: [21:07:28] <eeanm> Unfortunately the installation has failed, see the log file at /var/log/YaST2/y2log for more information. Failure stage was: unknown [21:07:37] <dirk> eeanm: $topic. we're in a meeting. later [21:07:45] <eeanm> ah sorry :) [21:07:59] <dirk> np [21:08:24] <dirk> I like the cyberorg green but the problem of lacking contrast with the wallpaper is indeed some issue I think [21:08:35] <dirk> how do we move forward? voting? rolling a dice? :) [21:08:54] <Beineri> from the greys I would prefer
- which is the same color as for active window in the task manage :-) [21:09:22] <cyberorg> usually people have many window open, so it is against other windows not against the wallpaper most of the time [21:10:19] <dirk> Beineri: 838583 looks a bit like the "this application is dead" shade of grey of kwin/composite [21:10:20] <Beineri> from the blues
- better than the 'default' bright one, and by chance the same as gnome windeco has [21:10:54] <Beineri> (though that has [more] gradients in the deco) [21:11:52] <Beineri> cyberorg: I'm all for including an "all green" color scheme as option, can you send the file? :-) [21:12:06] <Seli> Beineri: is that the same blue like in the selections? [21:12:08] <cyberorg> Beineri, what file do you need? [21:13:26] <dirk> Seli: are you asking because you think its a bad idea that it is the same color like selections? [21:13:42] <Seli> dirk: I think I'd actually like it that way [21:13:54] <Seli> the active window is kind of selected too [21:14:10] <Beineri> cyberorg: something in ~/.kde4/share/apps/kthememanager/theme/ :-) [21:14:41] <Seli> I find the grey decorations a bit dull [21:15:15] <dirk> okay, who takes the AI of window deco color? Beineri ? [21:15:50] <Beineri> dirk: and how shall I decide? :-) [21:16:03] <dirk> I have a dice :) [21:16:11] * Beineri says #6a99d5 then [21:16:27] <cb400f> hrmpf [21:17:00] * cb400f thinks we should let ruphy decide ;-) [21:17:09] <Beineri> Seli: that was also Jimmac's comment, he would like to see grey but know that people would then complain about lacking colors on the desktop [21:17:46] <dirk> cb400f: so you prefer 52555a? [21:17:57] <cb400f> with the dark grey it's more colourful than default oxygen windeco [21:18:12] <cb400f> and plenty of colour on wallpaper [21:18:32] <cb400f> I like all the grey.. tend to prefer the dark one, yes [21:18:48] <Beineri> to make it short, does anyone NOT think that #6a99d5 is a better color than the current one? :-) [21:19:36] <cb400f> only slightly [21:19:39] <Beineri> 3.... 2.... 1... so we have an improvement :-) [21:20:02] <Beineri> cb400f: argh, don't confuse ;-)... [21:20:09] <Beineri> dirk: what's up with icons etc.? [21:20:44] <dirk> I've talked with one of the oxygen guys this week and he doesn't really like that we have a mixture of crystal and oxygen icons on the default desktop [21:20:52] <dirk> which I kind of agree that it is a bug, and that we should fix it [21:21:07] <Beineri> and naming [21:21:09] <dirk> there was another comment though (kind of expected it): we patched oxygen to paint coloring differently [21:21:25] <dirk> so he expected us to either revert that or change the name of the window deco [21:21:44] <dirk> I suggested something like suse-oxygen or high-contrast-oxygen or tinted-oxygen and he said that would be okay [21:21:56] <dirk> I said that I would bring it up here for comments [21:22:12] <dirk> technically it shouldn't be difficult to rename the decoration.. it can only introduce some subtle bugs somewhere ;( [21:22:19] <Seli> but we're past i18n freeze [21:22:23] <Beineri> why does it matter? where else than in the config dialog can you see the window deco name? [21:22:47] <Seli> otherwise it's just the Ozone windeco, basically, you can change only the few visible strings (one or two IIRC) [21:23:25] <dirk> Beineri: the main point would be that people could change the window deco to the "original" oxygen if they want to [21:23:26] <Beineri> Seli: afaik Ozone is simply Oxygen with that border option added and enabled by default? [21:23:34] <dirk> as far as I understood it is not possible at the moment [21:23:59] <Seli> Beineri: yes, but not enabled by default (yet, I'll see before 4.1 freeze) [21:24:14] <cyberorg> Beineri, http://cyberorg.kicks-ass.org/~cyberorg/GeekoGreen.colors [21:24:21] <Beineri> dirk: they can just uncheck "[ ] Blend titlebar with window colors?" [21:24:26] <Seli> dirk: it is possible to change to original oxygen by turning off the option [21:24:58] <dirk> ah, okay [21:25:00] <Beineri> do we really have to discuss whether you can toggle that detail via a combo-box or a check-box? :-) [21:25:07] <cyberorg> Beineri, btw, found it in .kde4/share/apps/color-schemes/ [21:25:18] <dirk> Seli: okay, consider it solved then, I guess [21:25:29] <Seli> dirk: and the rename? [21:25:41] * dirk is confused [21:26:01] <cb400f> didn't the oxygen artists notice what happened to firefox in debian and elsewhere? ;-) [21:26:03] <dirk> we don't have ozone yet (thats kde 4.1 stuff from seli?)? [21:26:30] <Seli> we don't, but that's basically oxygen with the option and s/i18n("Oxygen")/i18n("Ozone")/ [21:26:58] <Seli> because they don't want the option on something named oxygen [21:26:59] <dirk> I see [21:27:10] <dirk> yeah, I got that message as well [21:27:24] <dirk> so if we want to be nice community participants, I guess we have to rename it to Ozone then [21:27:25] <Seli> but since that was past our i18n freeze for 11.0, I ignored this for suse and did it just upstream [21:27:55] <dirk> i18n freeze is a tough topic, beineri just found out that we forgot quite some packages from i18n ;( [21:28:06] * dirk looks at coolo [21:28:30] <dirk> Seli: there is not a whole lot that needs to be translated for "Ozone", right? [21:28:30] * Beineri thinks people will be happy to have the trashcan on their desktops being translated ;-) [21:28:45] <dirk> Beineri: as long as it doesn't duplicate itself then anymore :) [21:28:52] <cb400f> we just got 100+ strings changed/added for packagekit.. [21:29:09] <dirk> gnome-packagekit.pot ? I've seen that today [21:29:13] <Seli> dirk: i18n("Ozone"), that should be it [21:29:19] <cb400f> .. so a string or two in kde desktop files or something won't hurt [21:29:25] <Seli> dirk: but there doesn't seem to be many translations of that upstream yet [21:29:40] <cb400f> the strings in question prolly won't even need translation in most languagues [21:29:47] <dirk> yep [21:30:07] <Seli> that's right, who gives a damn about the decoration name after all :) [21:30:08] <Beineri> cb400f: don't say that - people even translate "User Friendly" ;-) [21:30:52] <Beineri> dirk: do you have a list of the non-oxygen icons? [21:31:06] <dirk> Beineri: yes.. not right now though [21:31:13] <dirk> on the old workstation.. [21:31:36] <Seli> AI: oxygen->ozone (Seli) [21:31:37] <dirk> another concern was the crystal icons of kde4-opensuse-updater [21:31:40] <Beineri> dirk: so you have an AI ;-)... and to figure out (maybe with cb400?) which one to take instead [21:31:53] <dirk> and knetworkmanager, and kpowersave [21:32:13] <dirk> I don't know how to teach knetworkmanager3 to use beautiful oxygen icons when run under kde4 ;( [21:32:48] <Beineri> that's about system tray icons or icons in context menus/dialogs? [21:32:55] <dirk> it really sucks that we start the whole kde3 stack under kde4 just for a 22x22 networkmanager icon in the systray [21:33:16] <dirk> Beineri: systray icon mostly [21:33:24] * Beineri wouldn't care about context menus/dialogs [21:33:39] <Beineri> mhm, discuss with Seli? [21:33:51] <dirk> AI: dirk: replace the crystal icons on the default desktop with oxygen ones [21:34:08] <Beineri> dirk: what with "blurry icons"? [21:34:33] <dirk> Beineri: good point! [21:34:56] <Beineri> dirk: sure, it's your point ;-) [21:35:02] <dirk> another thing mentioned by ruphy was, because we patch the panel size to a custom heigh (40?), it doesn't select one of the png's of the icons in the right size [21:35:17] <dirk> because there are only icons available for "small" or "normal" size [21:35:32] <dirk> and svg icons are not taken because of bug 361781 [21:35:35] <bugbot> openSUSE bug 361781 in openSUSE 11.0 (KDE4 Workspace) "Fix QSvgRenderer to work better, enabling kiconloader to choose svgs" [Minor,Needinfo] https://bugzilla.novell.com/361781 [21:36:06] Quit erikja has left this server ("Leaving"). [21:36:08] <dirk> the options are: rescale the svgs to our custon png size and patch the theme file to prefer them (ugh) [21:36:32] <dirk> b) prefer svg's over pngs and hope for them to be rendered properly (ugh) [21:36:38] <Beineri> or choose another panel size? [21:36:44] <dirk> or c) choose a different panel size that doesn't rescale the icons [21:37:03] * dirk would heavily vote for "small" panel size to be the default [21:37:10] <Beineri> KDE/SUSE had 40 pixels for quite some time as default iirc, and panels etc. are getting bigger... [21:37:41] <Beineri> dirk: that's how many pixels? [21:37:45] <Beineri> 32? [21:38:18] <Beineri> seem so [21:38:52] <dirk> Beineri: so you're voting for "normal" then (which is 50?) [21:39:03] <Beineri> 48 [21:39:36] <dirk> hmm, ideally I'd pick "normal" for hires displays and small for standard :) [21:39:40] <Beineri> let me check how the default plasmoids render for 32 ;-) [21:39:44] <cb400f> what's the threshold for two rows of systray icons? [21:39:56] <Beineri> dirk: actually I think our kde3 had some patch to do that [21:40:35] <dirk> Beineri: I'm not sure, I don't think we ever shipped with such a patch though [21:40:36] <Beineri> from startkde.theme: [21:40:40] <Beineri> [ $Y -gt 600 ] && ICONSIZE=25 [21:40:43] <Beineri> [ $Y -gt 1024 ] && ICONSIZE=32 [21:40:51] <Beineri> otherwise 16 [21:41:39] * dirk didn't know that :) [21:41:54] <dirk> if we s,1024,1050, I'm happy :) [21:42:08] <Beineri> just looking if it was for the start menu entry icons only... [21:43:01] <dirk> okay, silence.. [21:43:10] <dirk> AI: dirk: panel size / icon size issue [21:43:12] <dirk> next.. [21:43:13] <Beineri> uhm, you mean 48 for >=1050? and 32 below? [21:43:36] <dirk> Beineri: well, out of personal preference I like the small panel size, yes. but I can undersatnd that it might not be a good default [21:44:14] <Beineri> dirk: anything more from you about theming? [21:44:21] <dirk> no [21:44:34] <Beineri> last but not least [21:44:37] <Beineri> * misc/QA [21:45:48] <Beineri> someone not asleep yet? [21:45:56] * dirk is out of topics.. [21:46:10] <dirk> I think everyone enjoys a beer outside, it has been a quiet meeting today [21:46:31] <mrdocs> dirk: can we set next week for a target to do the wiki stuff ? [21:46:34] * dirk actually goes inside now since it is getting chilly [21:46:39] <toma> to who can i say hi at linuxtag? [21:46:43] <Beineri> dirk: we will do next meeting in a beergarden with wifi ;-) [21:46:47] <cb400f> does ~may 25 still stand as deadline for translating 4.1 pim upstream? [21:46:55] <mrdocs> sounds fine :) [21:47:25] <Beineri> toma: me, wstephenson, jbrockmeier, likely dirk, coolo, ... [21:47:51] <toma> great [21:47:53] <dirk> cb400f: sort of, yes [21:48:22] * dirk still needs to book a place to stay though [21:48:41] <dirk> everything I found so far has been freaking expensive [21:48:52] <dirk> Beineri: next meeting? [21:49:06] <Beineri> dirk: or your standard is too high ;-) [21:49:20] * toma randomly picked a hotel with a reasonable price [21:49:26] <Beineri> dirk: not sure, in two weeks it's first day of LinuxTag... [21:50:18] <Beineri> but then it's only me missing? :-) [21:50:29] <Beineri> (and zonker) [21:50:58] <Beineri> ok, so 28th, 18 UTC [21:51:18] <Beineri> and make it Seli's turn then ;-) [21:51:21] <dirk> hehe [21:51:23] * dirk is off [21:51:25] <dirk> see ya [21:51:42] <Beineri> bye

[21:05:21] <cyberorg>
[21:05:25] <Seli> btw, there's an option to make decorations semi-transparent with kwin, but that's indeed not for the default
[21:05:56] <cb400f> I don't think green windeco with green wallpaper works.. otherwise I'd be pro green everything
[21:06:10] <dirk>
is the oxygen artists preference
[21:06:35] <dirk> but it looks a bit dark again.. almost like the "black is beautiful" look of upstream 4.0 :)
[21:06:43] <Seli> I thought no color there was their preference
[21:06:51] <Beineri> dirk: plural or one of them (ruphy)?
[21:06:56] <dirk> Beineri: ruphy
[21:07:19] Join eeanm has joined this channel (n=ian@amarok/developer/eean).
[21:07:24] <eeanm> I always get:
[21:07:28] <eeanm> Unfortunately the installation has failed, see the log file at /var/log/YaST2/y2log for more information. Failure stage was: unknown
[21:07:37] <dirk> eeanm: $topic. we're in a meeting. later
[21:07:45] <eeanm> ah sorry :)
[21:07:59] <dirk> np
[21:08:24] <dirk> I like the cyberorg green but the problem of lacking contrast with the wallpaper is indeed some issue I think
[21:08:35] <dirk> how do we move forward? voting? rolling a dice? :)
[21:08:54] <Beineri> from the greys I would prefer
- which is the same color as for active window in the task manage :-)
[21:09:22] <cyberorg> usually people have many window open, so it is against other windows not against the wallpaper most of the time
[21:10:19] <dirk> Beineri: 838583 looks a bit like the "this application is dead" shade of grey of kwin/composite
[21:10:20] <Beineri> from the blues
- better than the 'default' bright one, and by chance the same as gnome windeco has
[21:10:54] <Beineri> (though that has [more] gradients in the deco)
[21:11:52] <Beineri> cyberorg: I'm all for including an "all green" color scheme as option, can you send the file? :-)
[21:12:06] <Seli> Beineri: is that the same blue like in the selections?
[21:12:08] <cyberorg> Beineri, what file do you need?
[21:13:26] <dirk> Seli: are you asking because you think its a bad idea that it is the same color like selections?
[21:13:42] <Seli> dirk: I think I'd actually like it that way
[21:13:54] <Seli> the active window is kind of selected too
[21:14:10] <Beineri> cyberorg: something in ~/.kde4/share/apps/kthememanager/theme/ :-)
[21:14:41] <Seli> I find the grey decorations a bit dull
[21:15:15] <dirk> okay, who takes the AI of window deco color? Beineri ?
[21:15:50] <Beineri> dirk: and how shall I decide? :-)
[21:16:03] <dirk> I have a dice :)
[21:16:11] * Beineri says #6a99d5 then
[21:16:27] <cb400f> hrmpf
[21:17:00] * cb400f thinks we should let ruphy decide ;-)
[21:17:09] <Beineri> Seli: that was also Jimmac's comment, he would like to see grey but know that people would then complain about lacking colors on the desktop
[21:17:46] <dirk> cb400f: so you prefer 52555a?
[21:17:57] <cb400f> with the dark grey it's more colourful than default oxygen windeco
[21:18:12] <cb400f> and plenty of colour on wallpaper
[21:18:32] <cb400f> I like all the grey.. tend to prefer the dark one, yes
[21:18:48] <Beineri> to make it short, does anyone NOT think that #6a99d5 is a better color than the current one? :-)
[21:19:36] <cb400f> only slightly
[21:19:39] <Beineri> 3.... 2.... 1... so we have an improvement :-)
[21:20:02] <Beineri> cb400f: argh, don't confuse ;-)...
[21:20:09] <Beineri> dirk: what's up with icons etc.?
[21:20:44] <dirk> I've talked with one of the oxygen guys this week and he doesn't really like that we have a mixture of crystal and oxygen icons on the default desktop
[21:20:52] <dirk> which I kind of agree that it is a bug, and that we should fix it
[21:21:07] <Beineri> and naming
[21:21:09] <dirk> there was another comment though (kind of expected it): we patched oxygen to paint coloring differently
[21:21:25] <dirk> so he expected us to either revert that or change the name of the window deco
[21:21:44] <dirk> I suggested something like suse-oxygen or high-contrast-oxygen or tinted-oxygen and he said that would be okay
[21:21:56] <dirk> I said that I would bring it up here for comments
[21:22:12] <dirk> technically it shouldn't be difficult to rename the decoration.. it can only introduce some subtle bugs somewhere ;(
[21:22:19] <Seli> but we're past i18n freeze
[21:22:23] <Beineri> why does it matter? where else than in the config dialog can you see the window deco name?
[21:22:47] <Seli> otherwise it's just the Ozone windeco, basically, you can change only the few visible strings (one or two IIRC)
[21:23:25] <dirk> Beineri: the main point would be that people could change the window deco to the "original" oxygen if they want to
[21:23:26] <Beineri> Seli: afaik Ozone is simply Oxygen with that border option added and enabled by default?
[21:23:34] <dirk> as far as I understood it is not possible at the moment
[21:23:59] <Seli> Beineri: yes, but not enabled by default (yet, I'll see before 4.1 freeze)
[21:24:14] <cyberorg> Beineri,
