schestowitzMicrosoft probably has patents related to itMay 09 00:26
schestowitzSLAB is Novell's (2005 or  06)May 09 00:26
msb_The fundamental design philosophy of KDE4 was determined by focus groups populated by people off the street -- basically naive ms-windows users.May 09 00:26
schestowitzlike the registry?May 09 00:26
schestowitzkde4 is more modualr than winodwMay 09 00:26

Ziomatrixschestowitz: ironic as MS is known for their groundbreaking court case that stated you cannot make patents or sue based on the look and feel of softwareMay 09 00:26
schestowitz*windowsMay 09 00:26
msb_The result was, KDE4 emphasizes a very complex system of color themes, and de-emphasizes things needed by power users.May 09 00:27

cubezzzspeed :)May 09 00:28
msb_A desktop-pager (switcher) in which the desktop names are _readable_!!!May 09 00:28
schestowitzthey've sort of backported almost everythingMay 09 00:28
schestowitzin some ways on my hardware kde feels faster than kde 3 on mancdriva 2008.1May 09 00:29
cubezzzright, but try KDE 4+ on older hardware and you'll see the slownessMay 09 00:29
cubezzzand on low memory machines, forget KDE altogetherMay 09 00:30
Ziomatrixcubezzz: hence XFCEMay 09 00:30
msb_The buttons in the desktop-pager applet of KDE4 have dark text against dark backgrounds, and each button has multiple dark rectangles in it representing the shapes of the windows in that desktop.May 09 00:30
cubezzzsure, lots of good DE's ZiomatrixMay 09 00:30
msb_So the names of the desktops in the desktop-pager are utterly unreadable.  This cripples KDE4 for power users.May 09 00:31

schestowitzSo I use scale plugin and other 3d stuffMay 09 00:34

msb_It's very important to me to load the mouse clipboard with text.  I used to do that with the xselection program, which no longer works.  Now I can do it with a qdbus call to kde4 klipper.May 09 00:39
cubezzzwell I want trans-operating system network clipboard :)May 09 00:39
cubezzzwhich I do with text filesMay 09 00:39
msb_I have a very simple but powerful script that loads the clipboard with the full pathname of a file in the current directory.  This takes only a couple of keystrokes in the mc filemanager.May 09 00:40
msb_One can then go to any other directory and cp or mv that file.  Text-mode drag and drop!May 09 00:41
msb_Very convenient and powerful!May 09 00:41

Ziomatrixmsb_: if you think the US is fascist then we have been so since the days of John D Rockafeller. The US utilizes the assets of large business when it comes to helping fund and even commit to foriegn as well as domestic policy when it saw fit. Once big business served its purpose officials were ellected and were able to carry out laws to break them up. It happened with standard oil, AT&T and it will probably bite Microsoft May 09 01:19

Ziomatrixmsb_: The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem went to Nazi Germany in an attempt to procure arms with a dual purpose of helping arm Arab Nationalists against the British and also stated he wanted to wipe out all Jews within the Middle East.May 09 01:44
Ziomatrixmsb_: Was there a UN and Human Rights Commission during those times? ie biblical?May 09 01:45
msb_Ziomatrix: By that time the Palestinians were aware that the Zionists were secretly buying up land in Palestine, and presumably knew this was the precursor of an armed invasion.May 09 01:46

sebsebsebso yeah hopefuly when Mageia is more developed, it can win enough users over, and give  them some nice competition :)  thing is that may not be for another year or two yet, hmmMay 09 16:59
sebsebsebas for Unity, well other distro's that want to have a big enough userbase on the desktop may actsaully have to provide that in their repo's in the future,  to have any chance at being popular enough, if Unity gets popular enoughMay 09 17:00
sebsebsebmsb_: also I read last year or whatever, about how Microsoft put Canonical on their list of similar companies  from the same industry, that they saw as a threatMay 09 17:00
msb_I doubt that many experienced Linux users are switching to Ubuntu from some other distro.  I think Ubuntu users are mostly new Linux users, thus coming from Microsoft Windows.  Or in some impoverished countries, from no computer at all.May 09 17:00
ThistleWebye gods, almost all of these death metal tunes used on techbytes are painfulMay 09 17:01
sebsebseboh and maybe Microsoft will have an advantage anyway,  or not quite, but I mean Ubuntu still looks rather ugly by default realy, and Windows is starting to look better and better by default really since XPMay 09 17:01

msb_My idea of a good distro would be one that includes Sax2 functionality, ALSA not pulseaudio or phonon, and a forked-and-fixed KDE4 or a maintained KDE3 e.g. Trinity if that really gets going.  This all would have the advantage that it would work on all computers and would be very functional for users and power-users.  Of course it would need all the usual app and dev stuff.May 09 17:09
sebsebseband honestly ok so I may not like using Windows useually and espeasilly if forced to use it on a course or something, and the whole Microsoft playing dirty with patents thing and what not even, but uhmm  I think these days, I would much rather have Windows being one of the most popular OS's in the world, and Ubuntu not being one of those at all :)May 09 17:09

ThistleWebthose are just the community versions of thoseMay 09 17:56
sebsebsebmsb_: what di you mean BFD?  also remember how I was saying something about Ubuntu =  Linux, well to go with this,  go on the Ubuntu site, and look for the name Linux, good luck finding that, by the wayMay 09 17:57
ThistleWeba large part of why fedora and opensuse are popular is that they are free versions of stuff people use at work, to learn on, practice work skills on etcMay 09 17:57

sebsebsebThistleWeb: exactly which is why Chackra probably doesn't have much of a chance at  becoming rather popular really,  plus it's based on Arch.  altough acstauly if I remember correctly Chakra is meant to be like an easyer version of Arch.  Also it seems that quite a few Ubuntu users go to Arch.May 09 18:02
ThistleWebthink how many distors are out there that most people have never heard of, let alone tried in a VM or live cdMay 09 18:02
ThistleWebto be taken seriously, distros have to build up some history of trust and competency, that doesn't happen overnightMay 09 18:03
sebsebsebnone of  the current distro's give Ubuntu proper competition like I was saying earlier,  I do strongly belive that once Mageia is more developed,  that it may start doing just that though :) ,but that before that happens it may be another year or two or so yetMay 09 18:03
ThistleWebwell, as long as you know it's an uphill battle, good luck to itMay 09 18:04

sebsebsebUbuntu, and Mageia and so onMay 09 18:06
sebsebsebMintMay 09 18:06
ThistleWebright now it's the safe choice to stay gnome 2, they're taking a wait and see approach, and look at it again in maybe 5 months when they're more matureMay 09 18:06
ThistleWeban easily pronouncable name also helps when people talk about itMay 09 18:07
sebsebsebexactly right now it's the safe choice to stay with Gnome 2 realy, however,  instead of Ubuntu going Unity for 11.04, they could have worked closestly with upstream Gnome I expect, and get  Gnome Shell in.  as for Mint well there is what you just said, and what I just said, why no Gnome 3 for 11 I guess.  as for Mageia even if loads of other distro's were already doing Gnome 3 they woudn't have done for their first release,  because their firstMay 09 18:08

sebsebsebnow here's the thing, the Free Software Foundation also has copyright assignments,  but well with them at least we can trust them pretty much 100% to not do something bad with itMay 09 18:38
sebsebsebwhere as Canonical we can't trust 100%, in fact only really a fool would trust Canonical anywhere near 100%,  and quite simpalley, because they are a for profit companyMay 09 18:38

sebsebsebno proper Ubuntu people say, that  they want Ubuntu to make free software go main streame,  yeah they call it free software not open source the proper ones.May 09 18:40
sebsebsebanyway I guess that's true really Canonical would love to take Ubuntu to the masses to the main streame, but whilst most of the users are using their in distro services buying their stuff, and Canonical making a profitMay 09 18:40

sebsebsebthe ethernet worked in 8.04 and 9.04 and 9.10 and 10.04 though and suchMay 09 18:42
sebsebseband 7.10 I guess was in it even before, anyway uhmm.  yeah I thought 8.10 with the correct help from someone was ready for the main streameMay 09 18:42
sebsebsebthen 9.04  was in development, and there were little things I didn't really want, and  it got released, and I finally bothere to upgrade the computer from 8.04 soon after that very soon,  and the ethernet wuodn't work. so well I put 9.04 on.  9.04  was quite a good release, even though there were little user interface things in it that I didn't like by defaultMay 09 18:43
sebsebseb9.10 I didn't like much at all when it was the latest, but when 10.04 came out or was being developed, oh yes 9.10 became better for me overallMay 09 18:44
sebsebsebhowever even so upgraded the other computer to 10.04,  because I thought 10.04 may have actsauly been better, but then the Plymouth boot up issues, all this junk by default I didn't like, and it even refusing to let anyone log in all of a sudden, my older brother told me, and soon after I put a much more relible distro on it Mandriva, and it's stayed with Mandriva since :)May 09 18:44

sebsebsebXubuntu with XFCE is basically left alone for the community to do.  As for Lubuntu with LXDE, well that's not even an offidal dervarative yet, but recently Mark is sbasically saying how it may be ready to be soon,  because it's in their repo's and so on.May 09 19:00
sebsebsebmsb_: also I mentioned stuff about first stepping stone distro's,  striaght from Windows or Mac OS X,  really Ubuntu like Linux Mint should be one of those, but here's the thing.  Why would Canonical want people to move on from Ubuntu to other distro's?  Right they woudn't really I guessMay 09 19:01
sebsebsebalso didn't I mention vender lock in earlier? well maybe, not, well I did say how Ubuntu is a product.  Anyway vender lock in.May 09 19:02

sebsebsebif people buy software from it,  it's on Canonicals' cloud thing I thinkMay 09 19:04
msb_They SELL software???May 09 19:04
sebsebseband then I think always going to need Ubuntu Software Centre to run it really, not sure, because not bought anything from it, and not planning to either :)May 09 19:04
msb_What kind of software?May 09 19:04
sebsebseband yes as of 10.10 they sell software, propritary softwareMay 09 19:04

sebsebsebanyway if I am correct and it's true, that need the Ubuntu Software Centre, to use the bought apps from it, well there we go then, vender lock in I guess,  vender lock in to the Ubuntu Software CentreMay 09 19:06
sebsebsebOk well how about Ubuntu One then? 1GB or I think it may even be 2GB now,. and as they would say for all Ubuntu users.  Uhmm right, but then yep it's pay if want more space, sounds ok?  sure I guess it does really, but here's the thing.  As far as I know Ubuntu One only works in Ubuntu and of course distro's based on it,  except for a Windows port that I think they are making.May 09 19:07
sebsebsebSo in that case,  if it doesn't work in loads of other distro's as well, it's an example of vender lock in really?  Or is it?  I don't know, I am just saying here.May 09 19:08
sebsebsebmsb_: see what I mean? ^May 09 19:08
sebsebsebalso by the way the 100% community distro's  are unlikely to have money making services in the distro itselfMay 09 19:08
sebsebsebrather unlikely indeedMay 09 19:09
sebsebsebmsb_: also just want to be clear about something.  when it comes to Ubuntu, the software centre offering propritary software,  the Ubuntu one thing I mentioned,  and even Mono being in the distro by default.  None of that bothers me that much,  it's the default expereince that bothers me,  the branding,  the way things look,  and all the ignorance that sourrounds Ubuntu from many people, when it comes to Desktop Linux as a whole how distro's May 09 19:11
sebsebsebare made so upstream,s and about choice  and why they should maybe use something else instead really. an that kind of thingMay 09 19:11

sebsebseb,but my computer isn't a dual layour DVD, so only side one worked in itMay 09 19:17
sebsebseband as some people may say when on about Linux Format, well they may call it Ubuntu Format, because apparnatly it goes on about Ubuntu a lotMay 09 19:17

ThistleWebo/May 09 19:23
*sebsebseb is glad he didn't try and get loads of people in person to use Ubuntu. Online was hard enough at times. sadly I did lose a potential friend for promoting Ubuntu, and well probably a few other reasons as well reallyMay 09 19:23
msb_sebsebseb: archive.org does have The Power Of Nightmares, which I link to.  Tells how Al-Qaida with the multi-storey underground fortresses was totally the bogus invention of some prisoner, who got released and even paid for it.May 09 19:23
GoForbes28so why does jono visit here?May 09 19:24
ThistleWebhis point is that he'd rather they use some linux than noneMay 09 19:24
ThistleWebif that means bending ubuntu to cater more to that, so be itMay 09 19:24

GoForbes28or the same reason florian follows Roy on identiMay 09 19:25

sebsebsebThistleWeb: I still try it out sometimes, like I was doing recently, so actsauly uhmmm welll and I know what I might get called after saying this, but anyway.  I put on the Beta 2.  and my latest install is still on here, but this install is one where I installed the Gnome 3 ppa wrongly, and so got basically Gnome 2, with the Gnome 3 toolsMay 09 19:33
sebsebseb,but yeah when I bother I will re install give the final another try, Unity and Gnome 3 ppa, but I may even try out Fedora 15 Release Candidate before that or whatever, I mean it's meant to be coming out tommorowMay 09 19:34
GoForbes28ThistleWeb: Is the party currently in charge pretty much going to do what the Parti Quebecois did her?May 09 19:34

sebsebseband when I bother the final of 11.04 as well, after the rei nstallMay 09 19:36

GoForbes28(Canada should not go in that direction if the US is the ideal example)May 09 19:47
GoForbes28sebsebseb: Not necessarilyMay 09 19:48
ThistleWebpeople who come to linux with ubuntu are not all the same, plenty don't care about what it is, they just wanna use it, other distros never had a chance with themMay 09 19:48
sebsebsebGoForbes28: yes they are, and right now, there is no other distro that can comepte agaisnt it properly, not even FedoraMay 09 19:48
GoForbes28sebsebseb: Ubuntu's position is conditional.  Even Opensuse was very popularMay 09 19:48
ThistleWebothers who come to it, and gradually explore linux, FOSS etc will see there's plenty other options and try others as they get comfyMay 09 19:48

GoForbes28Ubuntu hides this deficiency with non-essential features and eye-candyMay 09 19:51
GoForbes28like how Windows doesMay 09 19:51
sebsebsebI guess really most of the time I would still want them using Ubuntu really, instead or as well as, but then Ubuntu as main OS, instead of Windows or Mac OS X, but then again I really don't care as much about that as I used to,  and also I would prefer that they used some other distro now instead, because of the direciton Ubuntu ahs been going in since 9.04, altough the new direction properly started with 10.04.May 09 19:51
GoForbes28Cerainly not to the same extent, but it's the same conceptMay 09 19:51
ThistleWebif people come to ubuntu and stay on it, it will swell ubuntu's numbers, helping make the case that linux is mainstream and should be treated as such by hardware vendorsMay 09 19:51

ThistleWebthis is a pointless argumentMay 09 19:52
GoForbes28ThistleWeb: Problem is, what if that goal results in Ubuntu DRM or becoming overly proprietary?May 09 19:52
ThistleWebfeel free to pour bile on ubuntu, you're gonna anywayMay 09 19:52
sebsebsebWindows, Mac OS X, and Ubuntu, that's what they may end up making their thing,  since companies tend to care about most market share, and yep it will be UbuntuMay 09 19:52
GoForbes28ThistleWeb: For example, when Toyota wanted to become #1, they sacrificed a lot of what the company stood for, allowing some negative American practices to distort the company's original missionMay 09 19:53
sebsebsebalso something related to do with market share, well maybe it's  a good thing that Firefox as of verison 4, and chrome/chromium soon or already, no longer say  th Desktop Linux dsitro someone is on in the user agent string, instead just say Linux.  However why would that be a good thing when on about market share?  well, because all or most Desktop Linux distro's are pretty similar anyawy really,  and how maybe people should  Desktop Linux withMay 09 19:54
