strlcat | greetings | Aug 04 00:39 |
strlcat | just got back from GUADEC | Aug 04 00:40 |
strlcat | heard some things on the "down low" that were... interesting | Aug 04 00:40 |
strlcat | e.g. overheard a rumor that Canonical is negotiating the buyout of the Mono team and the SUSE team from Novell | Aug 04 00:41 |
Chips_B_Malroy | Roy> I have worked in the Gambling Industry, and its a paycheck. I bet a lot of those who work for MS would say that too, especially now as the economy is so bad. But to me, working in the Gambling Industry, is more ethical than would be working for MS. | Aug 04 00:42 |
strlcat | might tie in to the reaon those mono pushers are arguing to have MS added to planet gnome | Aug 04 00:43 |
strlcat | reason even | Aug 04 00:43 |
strlcat | MS = Mark Shuttleworth | Aug 04 00:44 |
strlcat | not Micro$haft | Aug 04 00:44 |
strlcat | (in case that wasn't clear) | Aug 04 00:44 |
Chips_B_Malroy | ah, ok | Aug 04 00:44 |
schestowitz | ml2mst: thanks, yours too | Aug 04 00:45 |
schestowitz | You ought to be using identica/twitter more often | Aug 04 00:45 |
schestowitz | We hardly get input from you here | Aug 04 00:46 |
strlcat | it's just a rumor, but it sems to click | Aug 04 00:46 |
schestowitz | strlcat: any source for that? | Aug 04 00:46 |
schestowitz | It makes no sense | Aug 04 00:46 |
strlcat | well, I don't want to get the guy who told me in trouble | Aug 04 00:46 |
schestowitz | Chips_B_Malroy: gambling bankrupts even more people | Aug 04 00:47 |
strlcat | but he works for Canonical | Aug 04 00:47 |
schestowitz | Lottery too | Aug 04 00:47 |
strlcat | however | Aug 04 00:47 |
schestowitz | strlcat: where did the rumour come from? | Aug 04 00:47 |
Chips_B_Malroy | of course, gambling is an addiction with some people | Aug 04 00:47 |
strlcat | he was passing on a rumor, he didn't know for sure if it was true either | Aug 04 00:47 |
schestowitz | Mark tried to poach opensuse developers by posting in their mailing list in 2006 | Aug 04 00:48 |
strlcat | random chitchat at dinner one night at GUADEC | Aug 04 00:48 |
schestowitz | Which person? | Aug 04 00:48 |
strlcat | like I said, I don't want to get him in trouble for leaking it | Aug 04 00:48 |
schestowitz | Chips_B_Malroy: give them crack | Aug 04 00:48 |
schestowitz | Also addictive, probably less harmful to them :-) | Aug 04 00:48 |
schestowitz | strlcat: "leaking" implies it's true | Aug 04 00:49 |
schestowitz | Or substantiated | Aug 04 00:49 |
schestowitz | Novell is looking for buyers | Aug 04 00:49 |
Chips_B_Malroy | True gamblers will always find a way or place to gamble. its like prohibion, you cannot really stop it. | Aug 04 00:49 |
schestowitz | Of pices of the company | Aug 04 00:49 |
schestowitz | So offloading opensuse makes sense to them | Aug 04 00:49 |
schestowitz | opensuse has just hired two more people | Aug 04 00:49 |
schestowitz | Jos and another dev | Aug 04 00:50 |
strlcat | nod | Aug 04 00:50 |
strlcat | and buying out suse might help them get their foot in the door in the enterprise desktop market | Aug 04 00:51 |
strlcat | which is where they could make good money | Aug 04 00:51 |
strlcat | redhat owns the server space | Aug 04 00:51 |
strlcat | and canonical pretty much dominates the end-user desktop market | Aug 04 00:52 |
schestowitz | Yeah | Aug 04 00:52 |
schestowitz | But opensuse or suse? | Aug 04 00:52 |
schestowitz | Will Novell make SLES off that? | Aug 04 00:52 |
strlcat | there's a difference? | Aug 04 00:52 |
schestowitz | *Would | Aug 04 00:52 |
schestowitz | strlcat: slight | Aug 04 00:52 |
schestowitz | But can Mark pay their wages | Aug 04 00:52 |
schestowitz | OpenSUSE doesn't have much income | Aug 04 00:52 |
strlcat | oh, right, opensuse is the community version | Aug 04 00:53 |
schestowitz | Although Novell claims to have made its Linux biz profitable and self-sustaining | Aug 04 00:53 |
strlcat | I don't think opensuse itself would help canonical | Aug 04 00:53 |
strlcat | I think they need SLE | Aug 04 00:53 |
schestowitz | Ys | Aug 04 00:53 |
schestowitz | But.. | Aug 04 00:53 |
schestowitz | It's RPM | Aug 04 00:53 |
schestowitz | Ubuntu is too distant from SUSE technically | Aug 04 00:53 |
strlcat | schestowitz: they wouldn't have to use the SUSE packages | Aug 04 00:54 |
strlcat | the point of them buying SLE would be for the brand | Aug 04 00:54 |
strlcat | and then they'd put the suse engineers on ubuntu | Aug 04 00:54 |
strlcat | I would guess | Aug 04 00:54 |

strlcat | I imagine mark is wealthy enough to pay the salaries, especially if things pan out and they start profiting | Aug 04 00:56 |
strlcat | there was also talk of switching to Banshee | Aug 04 00:56 |
strlcat | but... | Aug 04 00:56 |
strlcat | I've been hearing that rumor for years | Aug 04 00:56 |
strlcat | and they haven't yet | Aug 04 00:56 |
strlcat | so who knows | Aug 04 00:57 |
strlcat | but if the rumors about them bidding for Mono/SUSE are true | Aug 04 00:57 |
strlcat | then I wouldn't doubt they switch to Banshee | Aug 04 00:57 |
strlcat | I saw jonobacon pushing banshee yesterday | Aug 04 00:57 |
strlcat | so to me, things are definitely clicking | Aug 04 00:57 |
strlcat | supposedly Mono is also self-sustaining over at Novell | Aug 04 00:58 |
strlcat | I just found it interesting | Aug 04 00:59 |
strlcat | didn't expect to hear that | Aug 04 00:59 |
schestowitz | HMmmm... | Aug 04 01:00 |
schestowitz |  | Aug 04 01:00 |
schestowitz | [00:54] <strlcat> schestowitz: they wouldn't have to use the SUSE packages | Aug 04 01:00 |
schestowitz | Yes, but then redundancy at work | Aug 04 01:00 |
strlcat | not at all | Aug 04 01:00 |
strlcat | they'd simply move the suse devs to work on ubuntu | Aug 04 01:00 |
schestowitz | [00:56] <strlcat> there was also talk of switching to Banshee | Aug 04 01:00 |
schestowitz | Yes, jonobacon has been boosting banshee a lot recently | Aug 04 01:00 |
strlcat | exactly | Aug 04 01:01 |
schestowitz | [00:57] <strlcat> I saw jonobacon pushing banshee yesterday | Aug 04 01:01 |
schestowitz | ah, beat me to it | Aug 04 01:01 |
strlcat | :) | Aug 04 01:01 |
schestowitz | But was the source of the "leak" from GNOME, Canonical, or Novell? | Aug 04 01:01 |

schestowitz | Or what level was s/he? | Aug 04 01:02 |
strlcat | just a dev | Aug 04 01:02 |
schestowitz | Ah... that's a valid source | Aug 04 01:02 |
schestowitz | Maybe he only negotiates it | Aug 04 01:02 |
schestowitz | Playing/toying with the idea | Aug 04 01:02 |
schestowitz | Novell is quiet cause it talks to ~20 potential buyers, according to the WSJ | Aug 04 01:02 |
strlcat | right | Aug 04 01:03 |
schestowitz | Novell doesn't know how to split the company | Aug 04 01:03 |
schestowitz | To make the assets valuable | Aug 04 01:03 |
schestowitz | It's a complictaed decision | Aug 04 01:03 |
strlcat | right | Aug 04 01:03 |
schestowitz | Like, "if we sell SUSE, then we can sell to X, Y, and Z, except W" | Aug 04 01:03 |

strlcat | ok | Aug 04 01:14 |

schestowitz | The Ximian guys said yes | Aug 04 01:14 |
schestowitz | Monoel and Jeff | Aug 04 01:14 |
strlcat | sure, but it might be above Untz's "pay grade" | Aug 04 01:15 |

schestowitz | Monkey boy :-) | Aug 04 01:15 |
strlcat | he's probably not provvy to the deal | Aug 04 01:15 |
schestowitz | Untz is the GNOME head | Aug 04 01:15 |
strlcat | privvy even | Aug 04 01:15 |

strlcat | pretty low I bet | Aug 04 01:16 |
strlcat | whereas Miguel is pretty high | Aug 04 01:16 |

MinceR | and yes, kde3's tray icons are portable | Aug 04 11:04 |
MinceR | i've used kxkb across many panels and system trays over the times | Aug 04 11:05 |

-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[jwildeboer] @schestowitz which is partly correct, but Neary only looks at stuff in GNOME 2.30, so subset only. | Aug 04 11:06 | |
Diablo-D3 | btw, re systray icons | Aug 04 11:06 |
Diablo-D3 | yeah | Aug 04 11:06 |
Diablo-D3 | a lot of impls just open a tiny little window | Aug 04 11:06 |
Diablo-D3 | if it cant connect to a systray impl | Aug 04 11:06 |
MinceR | and it's nice, adds flexibility | Aug 04 11:06 |
Diablo-D3 | its sort of implied that if you're using a desktop environment using app, you have a desktop environment | Aug 04 11:07 |
MinceR | but the point was that some of the KDE4 tray icon applets won't appear at all if your system tray isn't plasma | Aug 04 11:07 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: then they're broken | Aug 04 11:07 |
MinceR | even if you're running plasma and gnome-panel, if only gnome-panel has a system tray, those icons won't appear | Aug 04 11:08 |
MinceR | yes, they're broken | Aug 04 11:08 |
MinceR | intentionally so | Aug 04 11:08 |
Diablo-D3 | they need to follow the fd.o specification on this | Aug 04 11:08 |

Diablo-D3 | the community is now split between further kde4 development, and forking off from kde3 | Aug 04 11:10 |
MinceR | i'm afraid there aren't so many developers interested in TDE | Aug 04 11:10 |
MinceR | (or KDE3) | Aug 04 11:10 |
Diablo-D3 | well, it seems most development for a desktop environment is being shoveled into stuff like xfce | Aug 04 11:11 |
MinceR | well, last time i saw xfce it was gnome light -- but with gnome getting all sorts of stupid, xfce might remain sane and gain an identity of its own | Aug 04 11:11 |
MinceR | a good identity | Aug 04 11:12 |
cubezzz2 | lots of other choices | Aug 04 11:12 |
MinceR | no mono, no fucking up the panel and window decorations | Aug 04 11:12 |
MinceR | especially no fucking with the system tray | Aug 04 11:12 |
Diablo-D3 | xfce really is gnome light | Aug 04 11:12 |
Diablo-D3 | actually no | Aug 04 11:12 |
Diablo-D3 | xfce is gnome just lighter | Aug 04 11:13 |
Diablo-D3 | everything you can do in gnome | Aug 04 11:13 |
Diablo-D3 | I can do with 500 less libraries in xfce | Aug 04 11:13 |
Diablo-D3 | and several thousand lines of code less | Aug 04 11:13 |
MinceR | but is xfce letting mono in? are they planning to replace the system tray with something incompatible and useless? | Aug 04 11:13 |
Diablo-D3 | infact, the only thing xfce and gnome really share is gtk/glib. | Aug 04 11:13 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: no? | Aug 04 11:13 |
MinceR | are they planning to put window decorations in the apps? | Aug 04 11:13 |
MinceR | then it will remain sane while gnome gets fucked up | Aug 04 11:13 |

Diablo-D3 | xfce already does. | Aug 04 11:14 |
Diablo-D3 | it can display windows, it has a compositor if you choose to use it, it has a gnome-panel like panel | Aug 04 11:14 |
Diablo-D3 | it has a desktop with icons on it | Aug 04 11:14 |
cubezzz2 | does xfce have anything like klipper? | Aug 04 11:14 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] #Linux skills more in demand than Unix for the first time http://ur1.ca/0zzcm Get Linux, get jobs (not Jobs) | Aug 04 11:15 | |
Diablo-D3 | cubezzz2: yeah, its called X. | Aug 04 11:15 |
MinceR | what is xfce's compositor? | Aug 04 11:15 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: xfce itself | Aug 04 11:15 |
Diablo-D3 | its built into xfwm | Aug 04 11:15 |
MinceR | ic | Aug 04 11:15 |
Diablo-D3 | its incredibly minimalistic | Aug 04 11:15 |
MinceR | so it's xcompmgr-like? | Aug 04 11:15 |
Diablo-D3 | yeah | Aug 04 11:15 |
MinceR | btw, X is not a klipper substitute, but i remember seeing a GTK+-based klipper-substitute | Aug 04 11:15 |
MinceR | and of course klipper itself still works without plasma, only kde libraries | Aug 04 11:15 |
Diablo-D3 | isnt klipper the thing kde apps use to have a clipboard? | Aug 04 11:15 |
MinceR | nope | Aug 04 11:15 |
MinceR | it's a clipboard manager | Aug 04 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | same thing | Aug 04 11:16 |
DaemonFC | hmmm | Aug 04 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | X apps in general dont need that to copy and paste things | Aug 04 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | its built into X | Aug 04 11:16 |
MinceR | it remembers old clipboard entries, pops up an action menu on copy if you want | Aug 04 11:16 |
DaemonFC | curiouser and curiouser | Aug 04 11:16 |
DaemonFC | :P | Aug 04 11:16 |
cubezzz2 | yeah that's why I like it | Aug 04 11:16 |
MinceR | it synchronizes primary and clipboard if you want | Aug 04 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: thats not only dumb, but its non-standard. | Aug 04 11:16 |
MinceR | it's useful | Aug 04 11:16 |
cubezzz2 | you can have 1,000 entries if you want | Aug 04 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | theres no fdo spec for it | Aug 04 11:16 |
MinceR | well, then fdo should write a spec for it | Aug 04 11:16 |
MinceR | until then, klipper works | Aug 04 11:16 |
Diablo-D3 | then kde should propose a spec for it., | Aug 04 11:17 |
MinceR | you said they were dead | Aug 04 11:17 |
cubezzz2 | well there's xclipboard but it's not as powerful | Aug 04 11:17 |
MinceR | how can a dead project propose a spec? :> | Aug 04 11:17 |
DaemonFC | happens all the time | Aug 04 11:17 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: because I assume the developers are still alive | Aug 04 11:17 |
MinceR | right, i've heard of xclipboard but haven't tried it | Aug 04 11:17 |

MinceR | i might | Aug 04 11:18 |
Diablo-D3 | xfce has no instant messanger | Aug 04 11:18 |
Diablo-D3 | it has no web browser | Aug 04 11:18 |
oiaohm | From memory klipper does not need a standard | Aug 04 11:18 |
MinceR | it will almost certainly contain bits and pieces from multiple dEs. | Aug 04 11:18 |
oiaohm | It uses standard X11 | Aug 04 11:18 |
Diablo-D3 | it doesnt have an email client | Aug 04 11:18 |
MinceR | i'm very unsure about what the WM will be, though | Aug 04 11:18 |
oiaohm | For the clipboard functions. | Aug 04 11:18 |
Diablo-D3 | technically the file browser isnt part of xfce | Aug 04 11:19 |
cubezzz2 | right, I use older systems which are similar | Aug 04 11:19 |
Diablo-D3 | you dont need to install it for xfce to properly function | Aug 04 11:19 |
Diablo-D3 | it doesnt have a media player | Aug 04 11:19 |
MinceR | to be fair, klipper is kind of quirky when it comes to non-text clipboard contents or the different clipboard handling in Qt and GTK+ | Aug 04 11:19 |
cubezzz2 | you're saying KDE is bloated I guess | Aug 04 11:19 |

MinceR | Diablo-D3: big fucking deal. :> | Aug 04 15:19 |
Diablo-D3 | well, they basically stole it from osx | Aug 04 15:19 |
MinceR | KDE supports an "unsaved" icon on the taskbar, i never cared for that either | Aug 04 15:19 |
Diablo-D3 | but osx isnt that flexable with it | Aug 04 15:19 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: Im just saying | Aug 04 15:19 |
Diablo-D3 | X DEs dont really have that | Aug 04 15:20 |

Diablo-D3 | osx and vista/7 can change the context menu too | Aug 04 15:20 |
MinceR | still, as long as your taskbar shows the window title, the old practice of prepending status info to it still works | Aug 04 15:20 |
Diablo-D3 | so when you right click, you can insert your own custom menu items | Aug 04 15:20 |
Diablo-D3 | MinceR: but thats the thing | Aug 04 15:20 |
Diablo-D3 | osx and vista/7 in osx mode no longer has text | Aug 04 15:21 |

MinceR | Diablo-D3: we've already discussed such today. | Aug 04 15:24 |
Diablo-D3 | yes, and that leads to incompatibility | Aug 04 15:24 |
Diablo-D3 | this is why kde is a failure | Aug 04 15:24 |

DaemonFC | Ubuntu is gravitating more towards people who don't know any better than to expect a poorly performing system that only half works | Aug 04 17:30 |
DaemonFC | and spams them with products to buy | Aug 04 17:30 |
MinceR | (will have to look through distros on distrowatch first, though -- since apparently they don't always list packages that are available in the repos) | Aug 04 17:31 |
MinceR | ubuntu is gravitating toward a macos clone that panders to megacorp interests | Aug 04 17:31 |
DaemonFC | Debian Squeeze makes me think of Ubuntu Lucid without the bad theme decisions, the crappy indicator applet, the mp3 store, the whorebar that slows down Nautilus and takes gobs of RAM for itself even if you don't use it, and the 101 other awful things that abound | Aug 04 17:32 |
DaemonFC | I noticed when I booted into Debian I was wondering how to set it up, not how to tear it apart | Aug 04 17:32 |
DaemonFC | :P | Aug 04 17:32 |
MinceR | :> | Aug 04 17:32 |
MinceR | unfortunately it still comes with having to install nonfree drivers yourself | Aug 04 17:32 |
DaemonFC | meh | Aug 04 17:33 |
DaemonFC | I enabled Sid repos long enough to snag Catalyst 10.7 and the DKMS package | Aug 04 17:33 |
DaemonFC | then I closed it back up | Aug 04 17:33 |
DaemonFC | :P | Aug 04 17:33 |
MinceR | what's catalist doing in sid? | Aug 04 17:33 |
MinceR | s/lis/lys/ | Aug 04 17:33 |
DaemonFC | Catalyst is in Lenny and Squeeze too | Aug 04 17:33 |
DaemonFC | Lenny has like 8.12 | Aug 04 17:34 |
MinceR | but not nvidia? weird. | Aug 04 17:34 |
DaemonFC | and Squeeze has 10.6 | Aug 04 17:34 |
DaemonFC | they have Nvidia | Aug 04 17:34 |
MinceR | iirc i even had to grab the intel wifi firmware for my thinkpad when i had debian on it | Aug 04 17:34 |
DaemonFC | nah, Debian has nonfree video drivers | Aug 04 17:34 |
DaemonFC | they jsut never update them | Aug 04 17:34 |
DaemonFC | so they become worthless on new hardware fairly quick | Aug 04 17:34 |
MinceR | ic | Aug 04 17:34 |
MinceR | well, i guess some apt magic could get it to use those from testing or sid | Aug 04 17:35 |
DaemonFC | if you stay in Testing I guess that never becomes much of a problem | Aug 04 17:35 |
DaemonFC | but if you try to use Stable on a new system, you're on your own | Aug 04 17:35 |
MinceR | though automatically updating to newest in sid might be unsafe :) | Aug 04 17:35 |
MinceR | i'll stick to stable | Aug 04 17:35 |
MinceR | because it's, well, stable :> | Aug 04 17:35 |
DaemonFC | Catalyst is just now starting to work properly | Aug 04 17:36 |
DaemonFC | a little more so each month | Aug 04 17:36 |
DaemonFC | so having the latest Catalyst is more important than having the latest Nvidia | Aug 04 17:36 |
MinceR | :> | Aug 04 17:36 |
DaemonFC | ATI's new 2d acceleration is on par with where Nvidia's has been | Aug 04 17:37 |
DaemonFC | but you only get it on Catalyst 10.5 or later | Aug 04 17:37 |
DaemonFC | and 10.5 and 10.6 had some weird bugs that 10.7 seems to have ironed out | Aug 04 17:37 |
DaemonFC | the bugs seem to affect GTK+ applications more than QT | Aug 04 17:37 |
DaemonFC | and especially if you don't have compositing turned on | Aug 04 17:38 |
DaemonFC | sections of the window (sometimes the whole thing, sometimes a button or two) turn black until you resize or minimize/restore with Catalyst 10.5/10.6 | Aug 04 17:38 |
DaemonFC | it was worth tolerating because the drivers before that were even buggier and 10 times slower | Aug 04 17:39 |
DaemonFC | :) | Aug 04 17:39 |
DaemonFC | I have yet to see this happen on 10.7 | Aug 04 17:39 |
DaemonFC | MinceR, Debian also recognized my DVI out | Aug 04 17:39 |
DaemonFC | where Ubuntu doesn't | Aug 04 17:39 |
DaemonFC | neither does Mandriva | Aug 04 17:40 |
DaemonFC | I had to plug into VGA until installing Catalyst with them | Aug 04 17:40 |
DaemonFC | so a lot of the supposedly friendly distros have quality control issues that render them difficult to use | Aug 04 17:41 |
