trmanco | it's spooky how this works | Feb 11 13:51 |

sebsebseb | and now this new thing, fusa is linked to the social features hrm, so can't just remove one whilst keeping the other :( | Feb 11 18:53 |
sebsebseb | oh and that's nice that I can still have icons in system menu and what was removed from places, but that's ashame that I had to change something in gconf to do it, since the upstream gnome decision to remove interface | Feb 11 18:54 |

jweyrich | pacman. | Feb 11 18:58 |
sebsebseb | jono: I don't think having social features there by default, and even Ubuntu One, and music store, is that good, if a distro is meant to be for familys and so on. young children for example won't be using those features. I also think Mandriva is more user friendly since it's control centre, which makes configuring the distro easy. It also has parantal controls there in the default install, something Ubuntu does not have. Altough | Feb 11 18:59 |

_goblin | and again, I find myself saying, its all last minute. I don't care what upgrade cycle they follow, how can 10.04 be a consideration to enterprise (and the planning that entails) when Canonical cannot even make their mind up on whats in. | Feb 11 21:57 |
_goblin | jono : delayed comment..not a response to your point. | Feb 11 21:58 |
jono | _goblin, nothing is last minute when it is before the Feature Freeze | Feb 11 21:58 |
jono | that is the point of a feature freeze | Feb 11 21:58 |
_goblin | jono: the point I am making is above. Would you like to see Enterprise adopt Ubuntu? | Feb 11 21:58 |
jono | _goblin, of course, and these kinds of decisions happen with other distros too | Feb 11 21:59 |
_goblin | and would it be fair to say that preparation for such a migration would take considerable work and time? | Feb 11 21:59 |
jono | its the nature of fluid and agile software development | Feb 11 21:59 |
jono | but we had this debate the other day, so no point rehashing it | Feb 11 21:59 |
jono | I would prefer to clear my INBOX :) | Feb 11 21:59 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[thistleweb] damn, I love the h4cked.com guys, the banter is hilarious | Feb 11 21:59 | |
_goblin | then how on earth can Ubuntu be seen as professional or desirable when planning a firm makes into adoption might not come to pass because of a package which has been excluded. | Feb 11 22:00 |
_goblin | I understand about feature freezes and in terms of versions of packages thats fair enough. | Feb 11 22:00 |
jono | _goblin, feature freezes don't apply to versions, they apply to features | Feb 11 22:01 |
jono | feature freezes effectly make the distro fully open until that date | Feb 11 22:01 |
jono | then at that point we are much more conservative about changes | Feb 11 22:01 |
_goblin | so then GIMP is a "feature"? | Feb 11 22:01 |
jono | _goblin, of course | Feb 11 22:01 |
_goblin | and what is the decision called which settles on the version? | Feb 11 22:01 |
_goblin | (thats included) | Feb 11 22:02 |
jono | _goblin, I am not going through this again | Feb 11 22:02 |
_goblin | im sure. | Feb 11 22:02 |
jono | I would much prefer to spent my time helping Ubuntu | Feb 11 22:02 |
jono | I understand and respect your concerns | Feb 11 22:02 |
jono | but we are just going to need to agree to disagree | Feb 11 22:02 |
jono | I am sorry we can't satisfy your needs | Feb 11 22:02 |
_goblin | you can respond to the blog post where Ive quoted you telling me a/ you do as you think best (canonical) and b/ you allegedly don't make polls yet Ive out Canonical does. | Feb 11 22:03 |
_goblin | you sure seem to be listening to the public now you know the way the wind is blowing. | Feb 11 22:03 |
jono | heh right | Feb 11 22:03 |
_goblin | ok. | Feb 11 22:03 |
jono | feel free to interpret however you like | Feb 11 22:03 |
schestowitz | [22:02] <jono> but we are just going to need to agree to disagree | Feb 11 22:03 |
schestowitz | Souds liem MS/Novell | Feb 11 22:03 |
_goblin | Im quoting you not interpretting you. | Feb 11 22:03 |
jono | schestowitz ? | Feb 11 22:03 |
_goblin | I'll let others decide. | Feb 11 22:03 |
schestowitz | This phrase | Feb 11 22:03 |
schestowitz | *Sounds like | Feb 11 22:04 |
_goblin | So did the "We do what we think best for our customers" | Feb 11 22:04 |
_goblin | but I'll let others read that in context. | Feb 11 22:04 |
schestowitz | It's a phrase they used | Feb 11 22:04 |
jono | _goblin, the point is that yes we listen to users, of course we do, but we don't base decisions on polls | Feb 11 22:04 |
_goblin | then why run them? | Feb 11 22:04 |
jono | we don't take a poll and base our decisions exclusively on that | Feb 11 22:04 |
jono | _goblin, we don't! | Feb 11 22:04 |
_goblin | why ask anyone at all? | Feb 11 22:04 |
jono | the community does | Feb 11 22:04 |
_goblin | Jono you are wrong. | Feb 11 22:05 |
jono | I never run *any* polls | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | jono | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | jono | Feb 11 22:05 |
jono | and I am not familiar with the desktop team running polls | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | .....i don't mean you. | Feb 11 22:05 |
jono | who do you mean? | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | I am talking Canonical | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | not you personally | Feb 11 22:05 |
jono | where does Canonical run a poll on what software include on the disc? | Feb 11 22:05 |
jono | can you give me a link? | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | Jono.... | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | sure.... | Feb 11 22:05 |
jono | :) | Feb 11 22:05 |
_goblin | let me just say this first.....check the log, I was talking about the proprietary poll, you claimed ....what you've just claimed.... | Feb 11 22:06 |
jono | can you give me a link to the poll? | Feb 11 22:06 |
_goblin | anyway, here is the link where Canonical are creating a poll to find users opinions..... | Feb 11 22:06 |
_goblin | and don't be rude...be patient | Feb 11 22:06 |
jono | I don't feel I am being rude | Feb 11 22:07 |

_goblin | We are trying to gather preferences for the apps that users would like to see in upcoming version of Ubuntu. While we all believe in the power of open source applications we are also very keen that users should get to choose the software they want to use. There are some great apps that aren't yet available to Ubuntu users and Canonical would like to know the priority that users would like to see them. This list is indicative not | Feb 11 22:07 |
_goblin | definitive and we would love to also read your suggestions in the free text box. | Feb 11 22:07 |

_goblin | Note: there has been some confusion that I would like to clear up--this is not about applications to be included by default, but merely things that we may attempt to make more easily available for Ubuntu users to install for themselves from official repositories. | Feb 11 22:07 |
_goblin | you scurried away the other night before I got a chance to put that to you. | Feb 11 22:07 |
jono | _goblin, erm, he doesn't work for Canonical | Feb 11 22:07 |
jono | that is not a Canonical poll | Feb 11 22:07 |
_goblin | I know | Feb 11 22:08 |
_goblin | read it. | Feb 11 22:08 |
jono | read what? | Feb 11 22:08 |
_goblin | you are telling me Canonical DIDN't authorise it but let a senior member of the Ubuntu forums pretend Canonical had asked this. | Feb 11 22:08 |
_goblin | and also kept the thread intact. | Feb 11 22:08 |
_goblin | let me help you here: | Feb 11 22:08 |
_goblin | "We are trying to gather preferences for the apps that users would like to see in upcoming version of Ubuntu." | Feb 11 22:09 |
_goblin | for starters | Feb 11 22:09 |
jono | I don't believe he is claiming Canonical authored the poll | Feb 11 22:09 |
jono | if fact, I know Canonical didnt | Feb 11 22:09 |
_goblin | ok... | Feb 11 22:09 |
_goblin | what about | Feb 11 22:09 |
_goblin | "There are some great apps that aren't yet available to Ubuntu users and Canonical would like to know the priority that users would like to see them. This list is indicative not" | Feb 11 22:09 |
jono | and Matthew is a great guy but doesnt work for Canonical | Feb 11 22:09 |
_goblin | "Canonical would like to know" | Feb 11 22:09 |
jono | yeah he is saying that as if it would make it useful data for Canonical | Feb 11 22:09 |
jono | dude, I am telling you Canonical didn't create the poll | Feb 11 22:10 |
_goblin | don't play word games....they didn't have to "create it" | Feb 11 22:10 |
_goblin | they want to know | Feb 11 22:10 |
_goblin | someone else could create the poll | Feb 11 22:10 |
jono | lol | Feb 11 22:10 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: That Pogoplug thing was on Linux Today by the way | Feb 11 22:10 |
jono | we don't use polls to make decisions on what goes on the disc | Feb 11 22:10 |
_goblin | so Canonical lets people lie about what Canonical wants on their own forums do they? | Feb 11 22:10 |
jono | I am sorry if you example was supposed to prove me otherwise, but you are pointing to a community poll | Feb 11 22:10 |
_goblin | and don't challenge it. | Feb 11 22:11 |
sebsebseb | schestowitz: That's one reason I come here, the amount of links you give out, but I don't tend to go on them, even so. | Feb 11 22:11 |
_goblin | Jono: You don't use polls? Well you certainly use public opinion which is why OO returned. | Feb 11 22:11 |
jono | _goblin, as I said, we do listen to public opinion | Feb 11 22:11 |
jono | of course we | Feb 11 22:11 |
jono | do | Feb 11 22:11 |
jono | but we don't make decisions based exclusively on polls | Feb 11 22:11 |
_goblin | jono: just not polls because they are not public opinion? | Feb 11 22:12 |
_goblin | and I never said you did..... | Feb 11 22:12 |
jono | ok, I am done here | Feb 11 22:12 |
_goblin | thought so. | Feb 11 22:12 |
_goblin | bye | Feb 11 22:12 |
jono | we already had this discussion | Feb 11 22:12 |
_goblin | ok | Feb 11 22:12 |
jono | I am sorry we are not able to meet your needs _goblin | Feb 11 22:12 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: Do you even use Ubuntu? | Feb 11 22:12 |
_goblin | I have 8.04 on a rig...for the time being. | Feb 11 22:12 |
_goblin | and 9.10 Im actually using at the moment | Feb 11 22:13 |
jono | cool :) | Feb 11 22:13 |
_goblin | I know, it is. | Feb 11 22:13 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: oh right, I thought you used wolvix and stuff like that | Feb 11 22:13 |
_goblin | I have 7 rigs in my house | Feb 11 22:13 |
_goblin | my main rig uses wolvix | Feb 11 22:13 |
_goblin | (but not for long) | Feb 11 22:13 |
jono | I am sorry _goblin, I don't mean to ignore your concerns, I am just slammed at the moment with work | Feb 11 22:14 |
_goblin | oh and 3 in my outhouse (if you include a 286 amstrad as a rig) | Feb 11 22:14 |
jono | I just don't really see what else we can get out of the discussion | Feb 11 22:14 |
jono | it seems like we have two diametrically different views | Feb 11 22:14 |
sebsebseb | anyway poor jono :D he has to deal with _goblin 's Ubuntu talk :D well or just ignore it | Feb 11 22:14 |
jono | which is awesome, and I love how Free Software welcomes all perspectives :) | Feb 11 22:14 |
jono | sebsebseb, :) | Feb 11 22:15 |
_goblin | jono: nothing is aimed at you. As I said before I support your work (and your stance)...this is more to do with Ubuntu, how it listens to its users and most importantly Ubuntu being a sucess for everyone. | Feb 11 22:15 |
_goblin | jono: I am quite sure you would keep GIMP (if it was your choice) since you said many good things about it. | Feb 11 22:15 |
jono | _goblin, I know you cherish you privacy, but I hope we can one day hop on the phone for an hour and we can talk more, I think it will help explain better | Feb 11 22:16 |
_goblin | jono: I don't know your stance on OO..... | Feb 11 22:16 |
jono | I love the GIMP and I love OOo | Feb 11 22:16 |
_goblin | it probably would.....and youre right.... | Feb 11 22:16 |
jono | and the GIMP is staying as a top level supported app, just not on the disc | Feb 11 22:16 |
_goblin | question here jono (and I don't know the answer) merely want to know.... | Feb 11 22:16 |
jono | in fact I am asking the Ubuntu Software Center folks to produce the Features Apps feature so we can highlight GIMP | Feb 11 22:16 |
jono | I am concious that it doesnt get buried amongst the many other apps | Feb 11 22:17 |
sebsebseb | jono: quite a lot of anti mono stuff when it comes to Ubuntu, and not just from boycottnovell people | Feb 11 22:17 |
MinceR | meanwhile some random mono crap will be on the disc, right? :> | Feb 11 22:17 |
sebsebseb | jono: anyway yesterday (if I remember correctly) someone wanted an alternative to f-spot, so gthumb was suggested here when I asked for one | Feb 11 22:17 |
sebsebseb | jono: the web is quite intesting when it comes to Ubuntu, what people are putting as comments to stuff etc | Feb 11 22:18 |
sebsebseb | these days | Feb 11 22:18 |
jono | I understand you folks have concerns about Mono, and that the Ubuntu Technical Board sees things otherwise, it's just a different of opinion | Feb 11 22:18 |
jono | fortunately, any Mono is really easy to uninstall if you are ethically opposed to it | Feb 11 22:18 |
sebsebseb | some of use and quite like Banshee | Feb 11 22:18 |
sebsebseb | however | Feb 11 22:18 |
MinceR | well, money tends to change people's opinions :> | Feb 11 22:19 |
sebsebseb | it uses Mono which is a Microsoft thing really, well sort of, and so that could cause some serious issues in the future maybe | Feb 11 22:19 |
sebsebseb | some of us use and quite like above | Feb 11 22:19 |
jono | MinceR, it's not about money, there is no financial gain to us shipping Mono | Feb 11 22:19 |
sebsebseb | I don't program, but if I did | Feb 11 22:19 |
jono | we ship it because there are apps that are valuable to our users | Feb 11 22:19 |
sebsebseb | I so woudn't program Mono stuff | Feb 11 22:19 |
jono | sebsebseb, same here | Feb 11 22:19 |
jono | I much prefer Python | Feb 11 22:19 |
sebsebseb | I woudn't use anything related to Microsoft for programming | Feb 11 22:19 |
jono | hence me organizing https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek :) | Feb 11 22:20 |
MinceR | yeah, there's no financial gain in getting closer to m$ | Feb 11 22:20 |
phIRCe-BNc | Title: UbuntuOpportunisticDeveloperWeek - Ubuntu Wiki .::. Size~: 13.82 KB | Feb 11 22:20 |
sebsebseb | jono: I said I didn't program, you program Python? | Feb 11 22:20 |
MinceR | for example, getting money for advertising their search engine isn't financial gain either | Feb 11 22:20 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: as for that Yahoo deal, well it's about money really | Feb 11 22:20 |
_goblin | sebsebseb: the "damage" of Mono may not be from any patent action, but the percieved threat due to its Microsoft parents. Rightly or wrongly, users having that view could destroy Ubuntu if they move away from it as it adopts more of it. | Feb 11 22:20 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: and I think Micrsooft made that deal with Yahoo after Canonical | Feb 11 22:20 |
_goblin | I think it was before.....wasn't it? | Feb 11 22:21 |
MinceR | then canonical seems to have kept that delay secret for a long time :> | Feb 11 22:21 |
_goblin | I thought the yahoo deal was in the works since early last year..... | Feb 11 22:21 |
jono | sebsebseb, I do, I wrote Lernid, Acire, founded Jokosher and some other apps, all Python apps | Feb 11 22:21 |
MinceR | yahoo being bingo was old news when news/rumors about canonical making it the default appeared | Feb 11 22:21 |
jono | MinceR, well, I am sorry you don't agree with our model | Feb 11 22:21 |
sebsebseb | jono: yeah I looked at your website wondering about Lermid since I read something about it on IRC itself or in a log | Feb 11 22:22 |
ThistleWeb | wasn't jokosher an Aq project? | Feb 11 22:22 |
MinceR | well, i don't agree with m$'s model either | Feb 11 22:22 |
MinceR | :> | Feb 11 22:22 |
jono | ThistleWeb, nope | Feb 11 22:22 |
jono | Aq wrote some parts of it | Feb 11 22:22 |
sebsebseb | I think it's best to avoide Microsoft stuff as much as possible, and anything that is linked to them | Feb 11 22:22 |
jono | MinceR, :) | Feb 11 22:22 |
*rnb has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) | Feb 11 22:22 | |

sebsebseb | Wine and ReactOS are interesting projects | Feb 11 22:23 |
sebsebseb | and one day are likely to help much more properly, to get people away from Windows :D | Feb 11 22:23 |
_goblin | On a serious note, am I being unreasonable (or wrong) when I say the in-out decisions of Canonical would not bode well with a company considering Ubuntu take up....is that unfair? | Feb 11 22:24 |
sebsebseb | _goblin don't know, but companies will tend to only use the LTS's | Feb 11 22:24 |
MinceR | i'm not sure if i understand that sentence, _goblin :) | Feb 11 22:24 |
_goblin | I'll example.... | Feb 11 22:25 |
sebsebseb | from what I know about 10.04, it doesn't target business users much at all, the desktop version | Feb 11 22:25 |
jono | _goblin, ultimately I don't think it matters, companies typically focus on released features and don't base decisions on promised features as software always slips | Feb 11 22:25 |
ThistleWeb | companies also choose to take their community feedback as "opinion" which can be ignored when they need the money more | Feb 11 22:27 |
ThistleWeb | it's about priorities | Feb 11 22:27 |
_goblin | say your firm is considering switching 100 machines to Ubuntu. You understand that package X,Y,Z and hire consultants (or whatever) to plan for a large scale deployment of that software bundle.....then all of a sudden its removed....keep in mind how a firm would feel should there be what seems to be an "in" out ethos of packages....the point I make is more one of confidence in the Ubuntu product and whats percieved as last minu | Feb 11 22:27 |
_goblin | te decisions and changes of mind surely can't bode well for Canonical image..... | Feb 11 22:27 |
_goblin | (sorry for the delayed example, I was trying to put across why I percieve an issue) | Feb 11 22:27 |
sebsebseb | on the subject of software being removed from default install | Feb 11 22:28 |
sebsebseb | ok Gimp is gone | Feb 11 22:28 |
jono | _goblin, I can see how any removal of software is odd for companies doing deployments, I entirely agree | Feb 11 22:28 |
_goblin | and to correct - "package x,y,z is included" | Feb 11 22:28 |
sebsebseb | ,but I expect that mainly only effects home/consumer users not business users | Feb 11 22:28 |
jono | but I don't there is ever a good time to make that decision in a release cycle | Feb 11 22:28 |
_goblin | jono: that was my point. | Feb 11 22:28 |
_goblin | it was a perception thing... | Feb 11 22:28 |
_goblin | it may not be last minute for Canonical... | Feb 11 22:28 |
MinceR | _goblin: i don't know, probably depends on the company | Feb 11 22:29 |
jono | I think the problem is that the news of removing an app is not tied to the point in the cycle, if a company doesnt like the decision, it wont like it at any point | Feb 11 22:29 |
jono | but also, the integration solution is low, they just install from the repo | Feb 11 22:29 |

sebsebseb | also some business Ubuntu users, might have a net book, with Ubuntu, where they had been using Open Office, but if that's so, not that many I expect | Feb 11 22:29 |
jono | I think the thing is that all companies are different | Feb 11 22:29 |
sebsebseb | Ubuntu doesn't have a more proper market share yet | Feb 11 22:29 |
jono | so their impact varies | Feb 11 22:29 |
sebsebseb | also Ubuntu server uh huh, but surely Debian and Redhat and CentOS are better | Feb 11 22:30 |
_goblin | but if you are a firm looking forward to 10.04....these decisions....seem (to me) to be unprofessional and the question could be asked, shouldn't canonical know its userbase already so that it didn't have to make these changes and then more changes back. | Feb 11 22:30 |
MinceR | what's a "proper market share"? | Feb 11 22:30 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: a more proper market share so 10% or a bit more | Feb 11 22:30 |
jono | _goblin, in a perfect world I would agree, but that is not really how Open Source works | Feb 11 22:30 |
jono | upstreams rev too quick and in disparate ways | Feb 11 22:30 |
jono | thats why almost no distros make those kinds of upfront statements | Feb 11 22:30 |
jono | anywho, sorry to run but I really do need to get on | Feb 11 22:31 |
_goblin | jono: now that I can believe....however its of little consequence to the end user is it? If it puts them off (from a perception point of view) then its hardly a good thing. | Feb 11 22:31 |
jono | I will be back later, we can talk then if you like_go | Feb 11 22:31 |
jono | _goblin, | Feb 11 22:31 |
jono | and I really would love to talk on the phone if you feel comfortable to _goblin | Feb 11 22:31 |
jono | :) | Feb 11 22:31 |
sebsebseb | jono: why phone? | Feb 11 22:31 |
jono | sebsebseb, just a better medium for debate :) | Feb 11 22:32 |
sebsebseb | jono: since you can hear tones of voice and such you mean? | Feb 11 22:32 |
MinceR | why is that a better medium for debate? | Feb 11 22:32 |
_goblin | I would agree with Jono....it is far better. | Feb 11 22:32 |
MinceR | i'd argue it's worse | Feb 11 22:32 |
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[qu1j0t3] Palin is nothing but a category error. | Feb 11 22:32 | |
sebsebseb | MinceR: some people really like voice | Feb 11 22:32 |
_goblin | the only bad thing is, nobody else can be involved. | Feb 11 22:32 |
MinceR | it's synchronous, it's more difficult to log and you can't see the buffer | Feb 11 22:32 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: so phone/skype etc | Feb 11 22:32 |
MinceR | and it's more difficult to involve others | Feb 11 22:32 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I am more of a text person, but hey I also touch type so yeah | Feb 11 22:32 |
MinceR | skype is even worse, it's pretty much malware | Feb 11 22:33 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: thing is with online chat, well so easy to type stupid things, where as on the phone I would be more careful | Feb 11 22:33 |
jono | _goblin, well if you fancy a chat, just let me know :) | Feb 11 22:33 |
jono | ok folks, take care, all! | Feb 11 22:33 |
jono | biab | Feb 11 22:33 |
sebsebseb | anyway I don't get that many phone calls at the moment | Feb 11 22:33 |
*jono slopes off... | Feb 11 22:33 | |
MinceR | sebsebseb: it's just as easy to say stupid things | Feb 11 22:34 |
_goblin | jono, when you come back PM me... | Feb 11 22:34 |
MinceR | but it's easier to clarify in text | Feb 11 22:34 |
_goblin | I think I will speak with Jono....maybe Ive misunderstood the point he was making or maybe he has me...... | Feb 11 22:34 |
_goblin | or maybe its just txt is totally unsuitable for certain conversations. | Feb 11 22:35 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: yes Ubuntu has been going down hill for some of us since 8.04 | Feb 11 22:35 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: however most of their users don't know that | Feb 11 22:35 |
sebsebseb | they just think whatever the latest version is, is the best | Feb 11 22:35 |
jono | _goblin, want to schedule a call for an hour from now? | Feb 11 22:35 |
_goblin | You see Ive actually found the opposite..... | Feb 11 22:35 |
_goblin | ok jono | Feb 11 22:35 |
_goblin | 1130 | Feb 11 22:35 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: I meant better in certain ways, and worse in others | Feb 11 22:35 |
jono | _goblin, can you msg me your phone number or skype id and I will call you then | Feb 11 22:35 |
jono | thanks! | Feb 11 22:35 |
_goblin | no skype (just landline) ok? | Feb 11 22:36 |
jono | no worries :) | Feb 11 22:36 |
jono | I can call your landline | Feb 11 22:36 |
jono | :) | Feb 11 22:36 |
_goblin | but I can ring you either...its free on evenings.... | Feb 11 22:36 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: Mandriva/Mandrake used to have the Desktop Linux market now it's Ubuntu. Ubuntu has most chance at gaining a more proper market share so like around 10%, so it's a good one to support for those of us who want it to gain that, or well Desktp Linxu in general I should say | Feb 11 22:37 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: he probably keeps his phone numbers secret from the average person, since he is sort of famous in a way | Feb 11 22:37 |
_goblin | in regards to what I was saying about Ubuntu......Ive found each version is better than the last (with no probs) - thats putting aside any Mono viewpoint. | Feb 11 22:38 |
_goblin | 9.10 flies | Feb 11 22:38 |
_goblin | especially boot/shutdown time | Feb 11 22:38 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: I have found that they are starting to add junk, that I don't want personalley | Feb 11 22:39 |

sebsebseb | beta tested which? | Feb 11 22:39 |
jono | _goblin, sorry got disconnected | Feb 11 22:39 |
_goblin | Ubuntu One.... | Feb 11 22:39 |
jono | could you re-msg your number | Feb 11 22:39 |

jono | cheers :) | Feb 11 22:40 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: there's dropbox or whatever to compete, plus when a guy tried Ubuntu One he coudn't get it working | Feb 11 22:40 |
_goblin | true | Feb 11 22:40 |
sebsebseb | competition is good, Windows needs some serious competition, OS X isn't, Ubuntu might be one day. Also if Ubuntu had some other distros that were properly competeting against it for the same type of user as well, that would be good as well | Feb 11 22:41 |
*oiaohm (~oiaohm@unaffiliated/oiaohm) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 11 22:41 | |
sebsebseb | _goblin: otherwise you will find it might end up getting to big | Feb 11 22:41 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: and they start to do nearly whatever they want | Feb 11 22:42 |
sebsebseb | and get away with it | Feb 11 22:42 |
sebsebseb | and what is being done is not always good | Feb 11 22:42 |
sebsebseb | Windows is a good example of that kind of thing | Feb 11 22:42 |
sebsebseb | big as in popular | Feb 11 22:42 |
oiaohm | Really I should ask FSF to run a compain for all drivers no matter the OS to be open source. | Feb 11 22:44 |
MinceR | are you sure it's popular? most likely it only has a large installed base | Feb 11 22:44 |
oiaohm | Lot of people don't know the difference between windows and the computer. | Feb 11 22:44 |
sebsebseb | _goblin: oh people complaining about the Yahoo Bing deal now, and there will probably be quite a bit more of that when 10.04 comes out, but those who had an issue with it that use Ubuntu, most will just forgive Canonical for it | Feb 11 22:45 |
oiaohm | So its not exactly free will popular sebsebseb | Feb 11 22:45 |
sebsebseb | well it's not a big deal anyway | Feb 11 22:45 |
sebsebseb | people can use whatever search enginge they want | Feb 11 22:45 |
sebsebseb | well I guess the chinese can't use Google if they leave that countrey for example. | Feb 11 22:45 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: Ubuntu is the most used Desktop Linux distro at the moment | Feb 11 22:46 |
MinceR | i meant windows | Feb 11 22:46 |
oiaohm | Mandrevia was most used desktop before Ubuntu. | Feb 11 22:46 |
sebsebseb | Windows is popular with OEM's who install it, but a lot of their users want to use it as well, because they don't know better | Feb 11 22:46 |
oiaohm | and their will be another after Ubuntu. | Feb 11 22:47 |
ThistleWeb | windows is popular because they make money with trialware and repairs | Feb 11 22:47 |
ThistleWeb | popular with OEMs | Feb 11 22:47 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: yes I put something like that just before you joined that Mandrake/Mandriva was the most used before Ubuntu | Feb 11 22:47 |
ThistleWeb | pc with windows means upsales on security and features like MS office and Norton | Feb 11 22:48 |
oiaohm | The thing Ubuntu forgets. Its not the distribution most of the time to the end user. Its the Desktop Envorment. | Feb 11 22:48 |
oiaohm | I have moved between many distributions before setting up home in Debian. Yet I have stuck to KDE most of the time. | Feb 11 22:48 |

phIRCe-BNc | Title: Optional Windows 7 Antipiracy Update To Phone Home .::. Size~: 25.75 KB | Feb 11 22:50 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: indeed it's Gnome 2 what they like really | Feb 11 22:50 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: then if a lot of them use another distro, they will tell us, however similar it is to Ubuntu | Feb 11 22:51 |
cubezzz | there was a time before windows | Feb 11 22:51 |
sebsebseb | if it also uses Gnome | Feb 11 22:51 |
sebsebseb | yeah DOS | Feb 11 22:51 |
sebsebseb | and Unix | Feb 11 22:51 |
sebsebseb | and so on | Feb 11 22:51 |
cubezzz | most of the older computer types know this | Feb 11 22:51 |
cubezzz | it's ridiculous to think computer = doze | Feb 11 22:51 |
sebsebseb | indeed | Feb 11 22:52 |
sebsebseb | well | Feb 11 22:52 |
sebsebseb | they think PC = Windows | Feb 11 22:52 |
ThistleWeb | there was a time before windows? you jest, King Billy invented computers lol | Feb 11 22:52 |
sebsebseb | and Mac = whatever Mac runs | Feb 11 22:52 |
sebsebseb | well they think Mac is something rather differnet to a PC | Feb 11 22:52 |
cubezzz | it's those silly Mac ads | Feb 11 22:52 |
sebsebseb | cubezzz: indeed | Feb 11 22:52 |
ThistleWeb | yeah that annoys me, a mac IS a PC, with set hardware and OSX as an OS, but it's still a PC | Feb 11 22:52 |
oiaohm | Basically Ubuntu is nothing more than a temp bend in the market. sebsebseb | Feb 11 22:52 |
cubezzz | their lawyers probably told them to say PC rather than windows | Feb 11 22:53 |
sebsebseb | yeah the Apple adverts will say how PC's get viruses and so on | Feb 11 22:53 |
sebsebseb | uh well Windows yes | Feb 11 22:53 |
ThistleWeb | it's not even that, PC = "personal" computer, since they have so much control, it's hardly your "personal" computer, you only own the hardware | Feb 11 22:53 |
oiaohm | If Ubuntu keeps on providing bad parts sooner or latter they will lose out to someone else. I remember when Mandrake was too bleeding edge. | Feb 11 22:53 |
sebsebseb | other OS's that run on a PC, not as likely | Feb 11 22:53 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: providing bad parts? | Feb 11 22:54 |
cubezzz | but they also say windows explicitly in "Broken Promises" | Feb 11 22:54 |
oiaohm | sebsebseb: Items like version of pulseaudio used meaning that some sound cards don't work with 9.10 for instance. | Feb 11 22:54 |
cubezzz | "it won't have any of the problems windows xxxx had..." etc etc | Feb 11 22:54 |
ThistleWeb | the way Ubuntu are heading, I wonder if they'll go down in history as the distro that broke linux into the mainstream and lost it's users along the way....lost the prize to those who followed | Feb 11 22:54 |
cubezzz | there's three things really: Linux, BSD and GNU | Feb 11 22:55 |
sebsebseb | ThistleWeb: true it's becoming more "mainstream" or whatever now, but a lot of us more experienced users, are getting annoyed with it | Feb 11 22:55 |
cubezzz | those things all combine to make OSes | Feb 11 22:55 |
cubezzz | except for doze | Feb 11 22:55 |
oiaohm | sebsebseb: history is repeating. | Feb 11 22:56 |
ThistleWeb | mainstream aint an issue for me, Canonical putting their own needs ahead of the community is becoming more and more of an issue | Feb 11 22:56 |
cubezzz | and X of course :) | Feb 11 22:56 |
sebsebseb | 18 months and a version is no longer supported hrm | Feb 11 22:56 |
sebsebseb | 8.10 is a great release, well | Feb 11 22:56 |
ThistleWeb | the bing deal was just the latest | Feb 11 22:56 |
sebsebseb | ok ethernet didn't work on other computer | Feb 11 22:56 |
ThistleWeb | sorry yahoo-skin | Feb 11 22:56 |
sebsebseb | anyway my point is | Feb 11 22:56 |
*Eruaran has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) | Feb 11 22:56 | |
sebsebseb | would be good if we could maintain an old version our selves, useing offical repo's | Feb 11 22:56 |
sebsebseb | when it's no longer offically supported | Feb 11 22:57 |
ThistleWeb | that's where "based on ubuntu" distros come in | Feb 11 22:57 |
cubezzz | I am an old version :) | Feb 11 22:57 |
ThistleWeb | like mint or crunchbang | Feb 11 22:57 |
sebsebseb | 8.10 with a new kernel and Firefox and a few other things, would be a great distro today | Feb 11 22:57 |
cubezzz | actually you can, just archive your old ISO's | Feb 11 22:57 |
ThistleWeb | although mint does rather like mono :/ | Feb 11 22:57 |
sebsebseb | 8.10 is still pretty good at the moment, but on the verge of being unsupported | Feb 11 22:57 |
oiaohm | Canonidal is doing many things wrong. | Feb 11 22:58 |
sebsebseb | I got a woman on 8.10 still, she knows she has to upgrade to 10.04 | Feb 11 22:58 |
sebsebseb | well or change distro | Feb 11 22:58 |
sebsebseb | or run 8.10 without security updates | Feb 11 22:58 |
oiaohm | Ubuntu support system has a lot of people duplicating or producing data that should be on the upstream projects site. | Feb 11 22:58 |
sebsebseb | oiaohm: what do you mean? | Feb 11 22:59 |
ThistleWeb | reporting bugs to ubuntu, not upstream | Feb 11 22:59 |
ThistleWeb | there's value in a central bugs site | Feb 11 23:00 |
oiaohm | Ubuntu wiki for instance. There are instructions for wine that are currently obsolete even for the versions of wine Ubuntu runs. | Feb 11 23:00 |
*roved2101 (~roved2101@unaffiliated/roved2101) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 11 23:00 | |
ThistleWeb | it'd work great if every project used it though | Feb 11 23:00 |
oiaohm | Result is wine support gets a lot of Ubuntu users reporting that X application does not work and its purely because they followed Ubuntu instructions instead of instructions in the wine appdb. | Feb 11 23:02 |
oiaohm | Then Ubuntu complains appdb is not in plain enough english. Sorry we don't have the writers to write better. Because distributions like Ubuntu are sucking the supply away from wine. | Feb 11 23:02 |
oiaohm | How a distribution handles it support systems can be really damaging to upstream. | Feb 11 23:03 |
