GoForbes28oiaohm: I though Suse was being spun offMay 17 02:11
sebsebsebit seems to me that once Canonical got it's design team, and  they started doing to it, Ubuntu started going down hillMay 17 02:11
oiaohmOnly thing Attachmate will be doing is seeing if it making a profit or not.May 17 02:11
sebsebsebyeah 9.04  and the Canonical design team, both from  about the same time I thinkMay 17 02:11
sebsebseb9.04 is the start of the Gnome 2 patchingMay 17 02:12
oiaohmGoForbes28: Might not fully spin off.  Mind end up a sub company funding AttachmateMay 17 02:12
msb_When OpenSuse dumped kde3 and substituted kde4, which they admitted mostly didn't work at the time, that was the beginning of the slide into the toilet.May 17 02:12
sebsebsebor uhmm features that are seen by the user anyway,  I mean maybe they patched stuff before thatMay 17 02:12
oiaohmmsb_: kde4 was kinda regretable.May 17 02:14
sebsebsebhowever it's interesting how things work out,  now  I don't mind  that much with the Gnome 2 patching  in 11.04 classic desktp that much, because it no longer messes around with the system menu and my log out and shut down, and automatic shut down after a minute feautreMay 17 02:14
sebsebsebyes little things like that matterMay 17 02:14
oiaohmmsb_: but the change to kde4 internals had to happen.  kde3.5 looked ok to the user but was falling apart internally in the code base.May 17 02:14
sebsebsebwhen  used for years as in shutting down and re booting from the system menu, and it also matters when that's the upstream wayMay 17 02:15
msb_oiaohm: Still is, for power-users who want multiple desktops.May 17 02:15
sebsebsebfor some of usMay 17 02:15
sebsebsebno DeamonFC at the moment, that's ashameMay 17 02:15
sebsebseboh he's in the channel  DaemonFCMay 17 02:15
oiaohmmsb_: I was one of those power usages  I have got use to the new kde 4 activities system instead.May 17 02:16
sebsebsebanyway as schestowitz basically said in TechBytes 44,  it's not a very good thing to have one big vendor as the big one, well indeed at thatMay 17 02:16
msb_oiaohm: So they said, but was it really?  How did that require the useless but enormously development intensive super complex "themes" system?  Or renaming everything "plasma" BS?May 17 02:16
oiaohmmsb_: Yes feature wise early kde 4.x was lacking did cause major problems.  But that was the result of completely rewriting the core that had to hapen.May 17 02:16
sebsebsebnot a good thing having loads of people thinking Ubuntu is the only one that is properly worth bothering about, when it comes to Desktop LinuxMay 17 02:16
oiaohmmsb_: Really its not renaming everything plasma.May 17 02:17
oiaohmmsb_: plasma is the name of one of the new engine parts.May 17 02:17
msb_oiaohm: Then Suse should have kept kde3 until kde4 was fully functional.  (which it still isn't).May 17 02:17
sebsebsebas for OpenSuse uhmmMay 17 02:17
sebsebsebI guess it went the way of Mandriva reallyMay 17 02:17
oiaohmmsb_: I find kde 4.4 equally functional to 3.5May 17 02:18
sebsebsebnot that relivent anymore, because things are mainly about Ubuntu and Fedora instead these  yearsMay 17 02:18
sebsebsebthese days/years aboveMay 17 02:18
*puzzled (~patrick@puzzled.xs4all.nl) has left #techrights ("Leaving")May 17 02:18
sebsebsebhowever if they can get OpenSuse sorted out, and it giving Ubuntu some nice proper competition I am up for that I guess,  even though I am hoping Mageia will be doing this when things are a bit more developed their distro itself and communityMay 17 02:19
oiaohmmsb_: and when you do a core engine.  The complex theme system comes out of making sure the new engines are not going to be nailed to wall.May 17 02:19
msb_oiaohm: Is there a small activities pager showing in every activity that can show the names of 20 activities, and can switch to any one with a single click?May 17 02:19

sebsebsebmsb_: oiaohm Ubuntu is starting to get to big/popular and I am worried about that, since the direciton it has been going in since 9.04, and the direciton it seems to be going in now as well  to an extentMay 17 02:21

oiaohmKDE 5 is not going to be a interface change.May 17 02:23

DaemonFCnewer FGLRX handles compositing fine May 17 03:04
msb_My old graphic card is plenty fast for moving windows around and playing movies.May 17 03:05
oiaohmmsb_: compositing is a very effective way to off load.May 17 03:05
oiaohmmsb_: since the gpu can take the data you want to display process it and put it on screen where you want it without having to talk many times to the cpu.May 17 03:05
oiaohmIe cpu send gpu set of instructions and it does it.May 17 03:05
oiaohmThat is what compositing allowed.May 17 03:06
oiaohmNow kde 4.0 big mistake was they stripped all the software rendering options out completely.May 17 03:06
oiaohmso if gpu could not do it you end up with windows just poping into existance and other horid things.May 17 03:07

oiaohmAnd most of the nastiest issues are where they did not.May 17 03:11
msb_Using the gpu is a matter for the video drivers, not the DE.May 17 03:11
oiaohmNoMay 17 03:11
oiaohmThat is your mistake.May 17 03:11
oiaohmKDE 4.x puts it in the video drivers hands instead of the DEMay 17 03:12
oiaohmKDE 3.x and before has it strictly in the DE hands.May 17 03:12
msb_Moving windows around requires far less cycles than showing movies.  There's no need to optimize power for moving windows around.May 17 03:12
oiaohmLOLMay 17 03:13
oiaohmIf you move windows fast in KDE 3.5 you will find it can burn more cpu time than running a movie.May 17 03:13
msb_But moving windows is very infrequent compared to showing movie frames.May 17 03:14
DaemonFCoiaohm, You can use Compiz as your window manager in KDE 3May 17 03:14
oiaohmCompositing also reduces the ammount of image processing that has be done.May 17 03:14
DaemonFC:)May 17 03:14
oiaohmCompositing also means you can move a video while it playing and not have it break up on screen msb_May 17 03:15
oiaohmBreakup is because the 2d software rendering engine in kde 3.5 does not keep up.May 17 03:15
msb_That is also done very infrequently, so is not a necessary feature.May 17 03:15
oiaohmBy you maybe.May 17 03:15
oiaohmBy me video editing little more frequently.May 17 03:16
msb_So plug in your laptop while you are editing videos on it.May 17 03:16
oiaohmIt not just power usage.May 17 03:16
oiaohmIts image not being displayed correctly.May 17 03:17
msb_Don't fuck up the entire DE just so you can edit videos on battery.May 17 03:17
oiaohmKDE 4.x really has not screwed the DE up.May 17 03:17
oiaohmYes its different.May 17 03:17
oiaohmBut why is that bad.May 17 03:17
oiaohmReally msb_ you are like a windows user.  They learn a stack of habits so they don't cause windows to have issues.May 17 03:18
msb_It doesn't have a readable desktop-pager.  You can't slide back the panels by clicking on a little thingy at one edge.May 17 03:18
msb_It now forces on everyone phonon which doesn't work with old mobos, so I'm told to buy a new computer so it will work.  Just like Microsoft.May 17 03:19
oiaohmmsb_: how old of motherboard are you talking about.  phonon here is on a 12 year old board.May 17 03:19
oiaohmReally what in F are you talking about.May 17 03:20
msb_My "habit" is to have a simple readable desktop pager in my bottom panel so I can switch between desktops with a single click.  That his simple optimal human-computer interface.May 17 03:20
oiaohmI am talking to you from a very old machine running KDE 4 and all its parts.May 17 03:20
msb_Asus M2N-EMay 17 03:20
oiaohmInfact same boardMay 17 03:21
oiaohmThat a Linux kernel driver issueMay 17 03:21
oiaohmDon't run Ubuntu no matter what.May 17 03:21
msb_Alsa works on it, pulseaudio doesn't.  Phonon doesn't.May 17 03:21
oiaohmThey have the wrong firmwares.May 17 03:21
oiaohmAlsa running wine and a audio editing software don't work eitherMay 17 03:22
oiaohmjackaudio don't work either.May 17 03:22
oiaohmwith the wrong firmwareMay 17 03:22
oiaohmBasic Alsa works somehow.May 17 03:22
msb_I run audacity audio editor all the time.  I've run utorrent in wine.May 17 03:22
oiaohmI said audio editores in wineMay 17 03:22
oiaohmNot utorrent.May 17 03:23
oiaohmaudacity works because it don't ask for real-time features.May 17 03:23
msb_What exactly are you saying has wrong firmware?May 17 03:23
oiaohmAs soon as you ask for real-time features from alsa the firmware takes a wrong turn lossing all audio from then on.May 17 03:23
msb_Firmware in mobo ROM ?May 17 03:24
oiaohmSo causing the effect of jackaudio Phonon(can be made work with some options to change its request to alsa) and pulseaudio to fail.May 17 03:24
oiaohmmsb_: firmware blob with kernel.May 17 03:24
oiaohmEasisty way is to tell Phonon to back onto vlc and gstreamer.May 17 03:25
msb_So pulseaudio/phonon drivers have wrong firmware blob?May 17 03:25
oiaohmNo the Linux kernel drive for the sound card.May 17 03:25
oiaohmis failing.May 17 03:25
oiaohmSide effect pulseaudio and phonon fail.May 17 03:26
oiaohmBasically alsa is going splat under everything.May 17 03:26
oiaohmYou have been blaming the wrong thing.  May 17 03:27
oiaohmOk I don't run pulseaudio with KDE 4 at all.May 17 03:27
oiaohmBecause I find it a waste of cpu time.May 17 03:27
oiaohmThis is what I am talking about.  There is a bug lets just avoid it.  Not find out why and have it fixed.May 17 03:29
msb_Other people with other sound systems say pulseaudio fails for them too.  I guess their sound drivers are also bad.May 17 03:30
cubezzzI use kde 3.5.10May 17 03:30
GoForbes28schestowitz: Finishing final spelling on the first oneMay 17 03:30
oiaohmpulseaudio is buggy as hell.  msb_May 17 03:30
oiaohmphonon on the other hand is not that buggy.May 17 03:30
cubezzzoiaohm, so which new distros do not use pulseaudio?May 17 03:31
oiaohmIt does not have to go threw pulseaudioMay 17 03:31
cubezzzbsd?May 17 03:31
msb_Maybe the pulseaudio devs  should have tried their system out with lots of sound chips and made sure it works.May 17 03:31
cubezzzmsb_, what are you using?May 17 03:31
oiaohmcubezzz: I don't care I strip it out of my custom debian disks.May 17 03:31
cubezzzdon't think lenny had pulseMay 17 03:32
msb_KDE 3.5.10 also.May 17 03:32
msb_With alsa.  It all works.May 17 03:32
cubezzzI use alsa for sound, even for mplayerMay 17 03:32
cubezzzyepMay 17 03:32
oiaohmReally its not just alsa with kde 3.5May 17 03:33
cubezzzvector linux classic or freebsdMay 17 03:33
oiaohmyou will have artd sound server as well msb_May 17 03:33
cubezzzyou can turn off artsdMay 17 03:33
cubezzzI don't want sound effects in the DE anywayMay 17 03:33
msb_Me either.May 17 03:34
oiaohmThat was the big change over to phononMay 17 03:34
oiaohmThat sound effects from DE no longer depended on existance of a sound serverMay 17 03:34
oiaohmAnd could go direct to alsaMay 17 03:34

msb_I think it's a lie to claim that it would have taken 10 to 15 years to rewrite kde3 in good code with the same functionality.May 17 03:35
cubezzzmsb_, have you looked at project trinity?May 17 03:35
msb_Not much yet, but I will.May 17 03:35
oiaohmThe simple thing is how much of a prickly mess it is.May 17 03:35
oiaohmIf you try reworking the code of KDE 3 and keeping it able to run stuff from the past.May 17 03:36
oiaohmLot of the structs and that are incorrectly designed for what you need.May 17 03:36
cubezzzjust have one kde 3.5.10 machine...May 17 03:36
oiaohmThat brings many times work.May 17 03:36
cubezzzolder OS for older hardware, newer OS for newer hardwareMay 17 03:36
oiaohmBasically it would be faster to take the KDE 4.x base engineMay 17 03:36
cubezzzI like some things about KDE 4+ but...May 17 03:37
oiaohmAnd layer a KDE 3.5 look over the top.May 17 03:37
cubezzzit's sloooow on older hardwareMay 17 03:37
oiaohmHave you tried the netbook form.May 17 03:37
cubezzze.g. kcharselect is way better May 17 03:37
cubezzzoiaohm, hmm don't think I have May 17 03:37
msb_I use kde4 konsole.  And kde4 klipper because I can load the mouse clipboard from a bash script using qdbust.May 17 03:38
oiaohmSee there are things kde 4 has got right.  msb_May 17 03:38
oiaohmThere are still things KDE 4 needs to fix.May 17 03:39
cubezzzoiaohm, kde4 is too.... it's got too much F/X or somethingMay 17 03:39
oiaohmLike simpler ways to ajust sizes of particular.May 17 03:39
cubezzztoo elaborateMay 17 03:39
oiaohmnetbook form cuts that stuff to a bone.  cubezzzMay 17 03:39
oiaohmThat is why I asked if you had tried it.May 17 03:40

oiaohmthe full normal kde desktop 512 to 1GMay 17 03:41
oiaohm512 is dependant on gpu.May 17 03:41
oiaohmBasically you are right on the too much F/X stuffMay 17 03:42
msb_KDE3 has simple, easy to understand GUI.  KDE4 with themes, "plasma", cashews, unreadable desktop-pager has very badly designed UI, at least for power-users who want to get work done.May 17 03:42
cubezzzoiaohm, amazing how amigados 1.3 ran in 512k  :)May 17 03:42
oiaohmmsb_: Remember I am a power user who does get work done.May 17 03:42
msb_.. and dashboard, activities, and folder-view.May 17 03:42
oiaohmdesktop-pager I do agree adjusting its fonts should be simpler.May 17 03:43
cubezzzeven KDE 3 is a bit heavyMay 17 03:43
oiaohmactivities I do find highly usefulMay 17 03:43
cubezzzbut I really like konsoleMay 17 03:43
msb_desktop-pager needs to lose the window outlines in background of buttons, which make name unreadable.May 17 03:44
oiaohmmsb_: that is mostly better theming control over it.May 17 03:44
msb_konsole, system monitor, and klipper are improved in kde4, and I use them in kde3.May 17 03:45
oiaohmmsb_: basically complete rewirte there is always something broken.May 17 03:45
oiaohmBut for me just theming in one area broken I can live with.May 17 03:45
msb_oiaohm: But this "something" is extremely vital.May 17 03:45
msb_You can't read the goddamn desktop names in the pager buttons!!!!!May 17 03:45
cubezzzwell we will write our own DE :)May 17 03:46
oiaohmThinking we are ment to stop using the pager and switch over to the activities replacement.May 17 03:46
oiaohmI can understand them not making it pleasent.May 17 03:46
cubezzzoiaohm, how do I get the Pi symbol on Linux?May 17 03:46
cubezzzI was trying to do that the other day....May 17 03:47
msb_Linux is about the user having control of the computer, not some goddamn devs somewhere forcing their ideas on people.May 17 03:47
oiaohmHave you used 4.5 with the activities popup.May 17 03:47
cubezzzthere's pilcrow but no pi symbolMay 17 03:47
msb_No.  I am not going to use at least twice as much effort and time to switch desktops as I do now.  May 17 03:48
oiaohmmsb_: so take mouse to bottom of screen and select?May 17 03:49
oiaohmToo much effort?May 17 03:49
msb_Show me a screen shot of it set up that way.May 17 03:49
msb_oiaohm: Will there be an activity pager applet in the bottom panel with buttons showing the readable names of the activities?May 17 03:54

_GoblinI think the biggest thing for me to get my head around is that when an app is maximised your menu/minimise/maximise et al are in the task bar.....I have a big issue getting used to that.May 17 23:50
_Goblinand also when an app is running, its pull down menu is put to the taskbar.......hard to get used to that too.May 17 23:51
*Ziomatrix (~who@pool-173-54-181-184.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net) has joined #techrightsMay 17 23:52
_GoblinIf I was to agree with DaemonFC , I'd say thats the one thing I find counter productive....not good if like me you have several apps open on the desktop then giving focus to the relevant app and then moving to the taskbar to get to the menu....can be a pain and involve excess mouse movement.May 17 23:53
