00:00.28srednaHm, what was it that qustars was again?
00:00.36srednaScreensaver?
00:00.50grepperBorg^Queen, there's a qstars ?
00:01.02grepperoh, I was hoping it was a qt port of kstars
00:01.05Renzeit's a rather cheesy screensaver
00:01.30grepperif kstars had a qt port I'd be all over it
00:01.32srednagrepper: Do you want non-kde apps ?!
00:01.51greppersredna, I'm building a ubuntu box for my nephew, so yeah
00:02.07srednagrepper: Why ubunto?
00:02.19greppersredna, clean, simple
00:02.29srednagrepper: As in not using KDE?
00:02.30greppernice menus and n00b friendly
00:02.38greppereh ?
00:02.49srednaI just ask
00:02.55grepperwell, debian's menus would be too confusing to a 9 and 7 yr old
00:03.05grepperand ubuntu is only gnome atm
00:03.11srednagrepper: Mepis?
00:03.14Borg^Queengrepper I had no idea you were so young
00:03.19greppergranted I could customize them

00:03.44Borg^Queenlol
00:04.20srednaBurning
00:04.39grepperthat is a thought
00:04.49grepperbut its not debian based is it ?
00:04.50StevenRwhats mepis?
00:04.51Borg^QueenI can always use an extra cane

00:07.18Borg^Queendudette
00:07.27grepperheh, how rumors get started
00:07.55greppermephis is coming out with a qt port of kstars ?
00:08.03srednaBecause of the lack of live video in irc?
00:08.14srednaRofl
00:08.17grepperheh
00:08.30Borg^Queen`I"m sooo lost
00:08.54srednaMy brother just installed mepis on a box for his friends girlfriend, in disqqust over fedora 3
00:09.01srednaHe said it works well
00:09.28srednaAllthough it comes with kde 3.2.3 which he thought was a bit old-fashioned
00:09.31Borg^QueenMepis is a new distro
00:09.42srednaYay, new kdesdk .-)

00:12.22Aletheshowdy aseigo
00:12.26srednaaseigo: And it does not autostart
00:12.41srednaWhen I put in a cd
00:12.48aseigosredna: cddb isn't kscd. it uses libkcddb, just so you know =)
00:12.55srednaaseigo: I do know
00:12.57aseigosredna: and there were some recent changes to that...
00:13.16aseigosredna: i haven't had a chance to thoroughly check those changes out, but yeah, i've heard a couple of crash reports around that
00:13.17srednaaseigo: And I wondered if the issue andrs posted on kde-core-devel has to do with it
00:13.22aseigosredna: backtraces welcome, of course =)
00:13.31aseigoi wouldn't be surprised

00:13.54aseigosredna: as for autostart. are you using digital playback or regular playback?
00:14.01BallfireJanuary is the month i clean up all those layouting bugs =) <--- great
00:14.12aseigoBallfire: esp since this is January right =)
00:14.13srednaaseigo: Hm, dunno. Is that a setting?
00:14.20aseigosredna: yes...
00:14.47srednaHm, where?
00:15.16srednaThat is disabled, and unchecked
00:15.32srednaaseigo: So is use regular
00:16.05aseigosredna: disabled? as in you can't even select it if you wanted to? in any case, you are using regular play.. hrm.. well, i'll look into it in any case.
00:16.34srednaaseigo: Btw, I noticed that manyu CDs has a texst file with album and track information nowadays, which could obviously beused instead of fethcing cddb data -- does kscd use that?

00:17.45theobromasorry showing kids irc stuff:)
00:18.08srednaaseigo: Another issue that may have to do with the copy control: Some CDs keep replaying the last track, after a pause
00:19.14Alethes[19:19 alethes@pennywise:~] sudo kate
00:19.14Aletheskate: ERROR: Communication problem with kate, it probably crashed.
00:19.16Alethesum
00:19.17Alethesduh?
00:19.17aseigosredna: you mean the disc finishes, there's a brief pause, and then the last track plays again?
00:19.27srednaaseigo: Yes
00:19.27Aletheswhy can't I sudo kate?
00:19.43aseigosredna: because i can see that happening if kscd thinks there's a last track at 3059 minutes or whatever it was in that screenshot =)
00:19.48RenzeAlethes: do you allow root to open windows in your X session?
00:19.52srednaAlethes: Try using kdesu instead
00:19.59srednaRight
00:20.03AlethesRenze: not sure, actually
00:20.05aseigosredna: it'll attempt to play that last track and libwm will likely just go "oh. must mean the first track before that"
00:20.19srednaaseigo: Exactly why I suspected that file :)
00:20.28Alethesack
00:20.29RenzeAlethes: I suspect you'll have more luck with kdesu
00:20.33Alethesit's using the default theme heh
00:20.48RenzeAlethes: no, it's using whatever theme you have root set to use :)
00:20.51Alethesright
00:20.54Alethesthat's what I mean :)
00:21.17Alethesgonna change root's theme now
00:21.20srednaaseigo: I have some that I bought after fejecting burned copies from my brother actually, since I don't mind paying the musicians and even the record companies
00:21.41Borg^Queenwell aseigo after you've finished with the devil, can you help me figure out why qstars isn't making?
00:22.21srednaaseigo: But I dislike the copy protection, I have the right to copy my records, and also play them through my computer (which the copy protections attmepts to prevent as well, they just forgot that windows is not a 110% monopoly yet)
00:22.46Borg^Queensredna: what are you talking about>?
