00:00.32napsterthiago: i lost my background, my system tray icons, etc
00:00.32orvilleurg. it didn't even save my settings for startup
00:00.40napsterslackd00d: what about debian ?

00:02.00illogic-alI joined just in time to see myself quit
00:02.43srednaFrom within the same client?!
00:02.54illogicalsredna, yup.
00:03.47illogicalis there a site for that project yet?
00:05.29srednaI think it is really the worst idea ive heard of. Why port good software to a bad OS? People would then be able to use kde without switching away from windows, and KDE will suffer from the insecurity of that OS
00:05.39srednaCompletely crazy
00:05.58srednaAnd unnessecary, last time I checked, windows HAD a desktop

00:06.33aseigo_workit's nice for Windows users, bad for KDE
00:07.11Mirell[M]They've managed to get KDE to work with Cygwin, so I recall.

00:07.25srednaaseigo_work: So we should do it because we love windows users so much that we want to damage ourselves?
00:07.54Renzeback to konversation again... much better
00:08.35jonas22do you still need to pay a license for qt-win
00:09.17jonas22getting it to work on cygwin is different cause you can use qt-x11
00:09.35aseigo_worksredna: not at all
00:09.45aseigo_worksredna: in fact, i'm not in favour of windows ports
00:09.57srednaIs there a licence I can use that forbids using my software under windows?
00:10.09aseigo_worksredna: not an open source one
00:10.23srednaHm, I might go closed source...
00:10.41srednaI can still link to kdelibs under lgpl, right?
00:11.11aseigo_workyes
00:11.49aseigo_worki don't think its worth abandoning Open Source licenses though
00:11.53aseigo_workthat's also a retrograde step
00:12.07srednaNa, I wouldn't do that :)

00:12.29illogicalsredna, what about those who want to use KDE while under windows?
00:12.29srednaI just dislike the idea of running kde in windows really bad
00:12.42illogicalI don't see what the big deal is
00:12.47srednaillogical: Imo, they should have their heads examined

00:13.28Mirell[M]Mmm.
00:13.46illogicalI mean KDE isn't so great that it or gnome, in and of themselves are going to cause windows users to switch
00:13.48Vystrix_Nexothif they want to use KDE, let them get a proper OS to use it on first.
00:14.24illogicalpeople leave windows because they are fed up of windows/want more control/security for their PC, not because of how awesome a DE is
00:14.58Vystrix_Nexothas much software as *nix users are kept from due to the popularity of windows, there's a wealth of software that's not available to windows users.
00:15.16illogicalso having or not having KDE apps available for windows is going to speed up or slow down conversion
00:15.39illogicalit can however provide more visibility for the project (which is always a good thing IMO
00:15.55illogical)

00:16.10Vystrix_Nexothso, a windows user has two choices: use KDE apps under windows... or use KDE apps under *nix
00:16.15Vystrix_Nexothhardly an incentive to drop windows
00:16.24atoi|werkis there a KDE applet that tells you if you're ethernet cable is connected?
00:16.28illogicaland then there's the fact that I just don't want to be using anything but KDE anywhere, even when I'm in win :-)
00:16.38Vystrix_Nexothalternately: "use crappy shareware apps under windows, or use superior, F/OSS apps under *nix"

00:18.18illogicaljonas22, qt 2 is free for win, anything higher is not
00:18.37jadrianillogical: err if you're in windows you're not using KDE everywhere by definition
00:18.38Vystrix_NexothI'm not against individual apps being ported to windows (for example, Firefox), but the entire desktop environment, just so j. random windows user gets a purty UI... not worth the effort of forking and maintaining it all, if you ask me.
00:18.39illogicalunless you engage in some major fellatio, but i digress
00:18.54Vystrix_Nexothyeah, what jadrian said :)
00:20.09illogicaljadrian, correct. but i would like to use KDE everywhere
00:20.23jonas22illogical, then use linux everywhere ^_^
00:20.29jonas22or *nix
00:20.34illogicali don't care about thew desktop so much as the apps it provides
00:20.38Vystrix_Nexothyeah
00:21.34atoi|werkHrmm... no one knows of a kde app/applet to tell if your ethernet is physically connected to the computer or not?
00:22.04illogicaljonas22, hard to do when *nix keeps freezing every five minutes if you have anything running that involves X
00:22.24atoi|werksounds like a driver problem.
00:22.35atoi|werkit's FREEZING completely?
00:22.37illogicalthe only reason I use linux is because it has a GUI, without that there is no purpose.
00:22.40atoi|werkfrozen picture? or all black.
00:22.54illogicalatoi|werk,  frozen picture?
00:22.57atoi|werkillogical: that's illogical then. =P Windows has a GUI. Mac has a GUI
00:23.07illogicalsoft freeze. the mouse still moves (yay)
00:23.20atoi|werkand BSD "has" a GUI... so does Solaris..
00:23.50atoi|werkhmm... what X server are you running? and which version?
00:23.59illogicalatoi|werk, and if I could get BSD to do a net install i'd probably be using that :-)
00:24.37illogicali've run xorg 6.7.0, 6.8.0, 6.8.1 AND 6.8.1.99
00:24.49illogicalthey ALL freeze
00:25.09illogicaland I'm not even using the nvidia drivers (it freezes faster when I do that)
00:26.02illogicaltakes about 5 secs instead of five minutes (literally)

00:29.27kbrookswhat do i do
00:29.45Vystrix_Nexothclose all your stuff before logging out
00:29.51jadrianjust scream "Don't you ever do it again" at your monitor
00:30.00kbrooksVystrix_Nexoth, any other way?
00:30.01Vystrix_Nexothor do that
00:30.02jadrianor go to KDE control center
00:30.03illogicalkbrooks, Renze will be happy to explain the specifics
00:30.07Renzekbrooks: kcontrol -> KDE Components -> Session Manager
00:30.12jadrianexactly
00:30.41jadrianyou can do both, what I and Renze suggested, to make sure it works
00:30.48jadrianit worked for me
00:31.08kbrooksshouting done ;)

00:33.35AssociateXxhow do I get cd's to automount when I put them in the drive?>
00:33.35kbrooksRenze, a search function?  mkay
00:34.04Renzekbrooks: yes, you press the Search tab, and enter a keyword - "session" for example
00:34.08jadrianRenze: maybe it's a KDE Control Center usability problem ;)
00:34.34jadrianand I really believe what I just said
00:34.36kbrooksjadrian, nah. i'm too lazy to look around in kcontrol
00:34.38Renzejadrian: no, I suspect it's a pebkac problem :)

00:34.59Renzeproblem exists between keyboard and chair

01:12.38ktechcan I build only kicker?
01:12.56aseigo_workyes
01:13.09aseigo_workoh. i thought you were building from CVS?

01:19.35ktechwow
01:19.50ktechfirst one is making kicker to work. Then curved borders, hehe
01:20.03ktech:P
01:20.15ktechwhy has that rewrite to kicker performed?
01:22.47aseigo_workwell, first, it's not really a REWRITE (i'm going to explain that one in my blog tonight, actually =)
01:22.52aseigo_workit's a refactoring
01:22.58aseigo_workand its being done because:
01:23.17ktechaseigo: post the url of your blog later, please
01:23.20aseigo_work0. kicker was very buggy (RTL was messed up, all sorts of various and sundry painting issues)
01:24.04aseigo_work1. kicker was very bloated (i've removed many, many classes and a couple level of inheritance, while making it generally thinner)
01:24.56aseigo_work2. points 0 and 1 are linked. the massive code duplication and speghetilike nature of the code caused many bugs to creep in. it also made it very hard for people to get involved
01:25.05aseigo_work(in hacking on it, that is)
01:25.14Mirell[M]Mmm

01:25.52aseigo_workin all, kicker's internal design is decent, if you can ignore the implementation ;-)
01:26.03ktech:)
01:26.14aseigo_workso, the goal is to bring the implementation into line with the design and kill as many bugs in the process as possible while making kicker thinner
01:26.31ktechaseigo: that's very good
