03:13.02canllaithI can't decide
03:13.15canllaithdo I get a transmeta and have 10 hours battery life and like, 950gm weight
03:13.26canllaithbut a 10" screen and rather sluggish
03:13.37canllaithor do I get a blazingly fast 12" ibm with perhaps 3 hours....
03:14.21canllaithor do I wait for airport extreme support in the kernel and get an ibook?
03:15.27canllaiththe thinkpad is probably the best bet on performance
03:15.28canllaithbut it's ugly :(
03:15.49AlethesI think if I ever get a notebook, it'll be a mac
03:16.11canllaithhmmm
03:16.19canllaithkde on darwin is not somewhere I want to go ...
03:16.27Aletheshah
03:16.33Aletheswhy would you do that?
03:16.36canllaithso if I get a mac I'd dual boot for the sake of KDE - and there is no airport extreme support
03:16.43canllaithbecause I need KDE :)
03:16.51Alethesnot if you have OSX :)
03:16.55canllaithYes, I need KDE
03:17.05RenzeAlethes: she needs KDE
03:17.08canllaithbesides I hate the interface (although admittedly I'd probably get used to it )
03:17.12Alethesfor what?
03:17.30canllaithbecause it would make it hard to work on some things without KDE (although granted not impossible)
03:17.37Alethesah
03:18.24canllaithWell.. I could do a lot of stuff via ssh to my desktop
03:18.34canllaithbut yeah I really need to be in KDE 24/7 to keep up :)
03:18.41Alethesalrighty heh
03:18.59qazixKDE > MacOS X, at least it is if GNOME follows OSX closely ;)
03:19.15canllaiththat has nothing to do with it, it is simple practicality
03:19.26qazixKDE probably has more features overall though
03:19.29canllaithif I work on KDE as a hobby and work with KDE as a profession, I kinda need KDE
03:19.42AlethesI wouldn't guage the quality of OSX based on gnome
03:19.57qazixindeed, but GNOME's goal is to be more mac-like AFAIK
03:20.02Alethesnah
03:20.14Alethesgnome is to try to be more useless at this point
03:20.21canllaiththere is also the fact that my OS p references go: Linux/*BSD/Irix/Solaris/Aix/Windows NT/Windows 9X/System 7/8/Mac OSX
03:20.24canllaithIn that order :)
03:20.29canllaithYes, I despise macs that much
03:20.37Aletheshah
03:21.02canllaithAlthough i have learned how to use them! Even I can learn new tricks :D

05:03.57parabolizeanybody know what part of kde I need running in enlightenment
05:04.17canllaithkde puts a gtkrc-2.0 file in your home dir
05:04.35canllaithyou can use the kcontrol module to set your gtk theme if you have gtk-qt, and then it should do it for all DE's or WM's
05:05.08parabolizeit does it in kde
05:05.42canllaithmmm
05:06.07canllaithyou can try copying the gtkrc from the Qt theme folder (usually /usr/share/themes/Qt) to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and see if that helps
05:06.42canllaithbut... there should be an include "/usr/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" already in the one you have.. hmmm
05:06.55parabolizeI got a .gtkrc and a .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 file in ~
05:06.59canllaithah
05:07.05canllaithyou need .gtkrc-2.0
05:07.42canllaithecho 'include "/usr/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" > .gtkrc-2.0
05:07.51canllaithum and another ' in there sorry
05:07.59canllaithassuming that's the correct path for your gnome themes of course
05:08.32gaara_xcan i unactivate the kdeinit every time that i put a cd?
05:08.52gaara_xbecause, sometimes i get the error "device busy..."

05:12.31parabolizethats empty
05:13.20zaneeI don't understand the question you posted
05:13.33zaneeyou can't load nonkde apps with qt widgets
05:14.05parabolizefirefox in kde loads with qt widgets. in enlightenment it doesnt
05:14.34zaneethats because firefox is probably using the widget set in it's environment.. other programs don't do that
05:14.45zaneefor instance firefox can also use gtk widgets
05:14.53zaneewhich is probably what it uses in enlightenment
05:15.39zaneethere is probably an environment or run time variable that you could set to force it to always use the kde widget.. or a setting in the .jar file or whatever
05:15.42parabolizeyes I know that. gtk-qt-engine does something that makes gtk apps look like they use qt
05:16.04zaneeI don't know anything about that.. so I can't help
05:16.33zaneedo you know anything about kmail? and if it's possible to filter your incoming mail to imap folders?
05:17.19parabolizedidnt use it much so no I dont
05:18.22parabolizefound it! /opt/gnome/share/themes that sound right?
05:18.32*** part/#kde gaara_x (gaara_x@200.105.21.136)
05:18.48canllaithit's not 'using' qt widgets
05:19.03canllaiththe gtk-qt theme engine is mapping the qt 'look' of the theme onto the gtk apps.
05:19.29parabolizeOk I got that
05:20.58zaneehrmm I'm finding it hard to fully utilize kde.. I like qt and the underlying subsystem seems cohesive but the main apps are a pain.. where would I send a patch for kmail?
05:21.08zaneeno one is in #kmail
05:21.26canllaithmmm is there a kmail-devel mailing list or a kdepim one ?
05:21.34zaneeok
05:22.53parabolizeso I want to: echo 'include "/opt/gnome/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0" > .gtkrc-2.0
05:22.55zaneeI don't say that for sympathy.. if something doesn't work the way I want I can fix it myself with sufficient time. I say it because that is my personal opinion
05:22.58parabolizeright?
05:23.13canllaithparabolize, yeah you're missing a ' in there
05:23.25parabolizethe end?
05:23.42parabolize' @ end?
05:23.44canllaithor you can use a text editor to write it or you can cp /opt/gnome/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc ~/.gtkrc-2.0

05:29.13qazixheh. I made someone else's HTML standards-compliant and modernized (used CSS to replace loads of redundancy) just for the heck of it (didn't tell the person about it)... I kinda enjoyed it. :o

05:42.18qazixsonoud: hrm? Just do what I said, and put "xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults" as the command.
05:42.24sonoudqazix, place program in Autostart? i.e. write a shell script xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults and place it in ~/.kde/Autostart ?
05:42.31qazixno, not a shell script
05:42.49sonoudqazix, sorry, let me check what is Autostart first.
05:42.53grepperer, nothing wrong with a shell script
05:43.08qazixshell scripts work in ~/.kde/Autostart? Didn't know that.
05:43.21sonoudgrepper, kdm read .xinitrc, but it doesn't run xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults somehow. i don't know why.
05:44.01canllaithkdm does not read .xinitrc
05:44.25greppernor does it read .xsession
05:44.25sonoudcanllaith, well, i don't know what is kdm. but i am sure my startx read .xinitrc.
05:44.45canllaithsonoud, yes startx read .xinitrc and it _should_ be reading your xrdb load
05:44.47sonoudwell, you can ask it to read anything you want. just configure the script.
05:44.48canllaithit reads mine
05:45.03sonoudcanllaith, but it doesn't run it. i don't know why.
05:45.10canllaiththat is very odd
05:45.18canllaithyou are sure your syntax is correct ?
05:45.27sonoudqazix, so can I put a shell script with xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults in Autostart/ ?
05:45.31grepperhe is talking about kdm, not startx
05:45.37sonoudcanllaith, yeah, i am pretty sure.
05:45.38qazixsonoud: maybe; I've never tried that myself.
05:45.45canllaithgregday, um no he's not
05:45.55canllaithsonoud, well try the Autostart thing, a shell script will work fine :)
05:46.45sonoudcanllaith, qazix, thanks for help. i will try later, since it requires restart my x window.
05:46.46greppersonoud: do you want to use startx or kdm ?
05:46.54sonoudgrepper, startx.
05:47.11grepperah, ok
05:47.27grepper<sonoud> grepper, kdm read .xinitrc, but it doesn't run xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults somehow. i don't know why.
05:47.32grepperthat confused me I guess
05:47.46canllaithgrepper, english not his first language..
05:47.58canllaitherm, english as first language
05:48.53sonoudgrepper, The reason why i said "kdm read .xinitrc" is because i am not sure what is kdm, and you asked me whether kdm reads .xinitrc before. therefore i assume kdm is the one startx called.
05:49.01canllaith*sigh* scarily enough, english is MY first language but I'm rapidly degenerating
05:49.19greppercanllaith: I think the problem is that "kde" is not his language :)
05:49.32canllaith:P
05:49.39canllaiththere is much lingo/buzzwords/jargon
05:49.50greppersonoud: yes, use a shell script in Autostart directory, should work fine
05:50.06sonoudwell, english is not my first language. how do you know? hehe. many English mistakes?
05:50.17canllaithsonoud, no not many mistakes at all :)
05:50.26canllaithbut, the sentence structure
05:50.51canllaithyou can always tell ;) You can tell a german or a malaysian or a korean by how he speaks english, because his first language is what he thinks in.
05:51.09greppersonoud: your "english" is not the problem, its your "kde"  :P
05:51.11canllaithand that shapes the words he chooses, and the way he arranges them.
05:51.34sonoudcanllaith, hehe, anyway. i thought people can only tell from my accent.
05:52.38canllaithsonoud, I talk online and via email so much with people who speak english as a second or third or even fourth lanuage
05:52.53canllaithafter a while you start to notice so much the small things that give them away ;)
05:52.55Vensonsonoud: whether you know it or not, we can *hear* you on irc :D
05:53.01Renzeenglish is my second language, but I forgot my first :)

05:53.14Vensoncanllaith: hehe...i ok. You?
05:53.31canllaithVenson is about the only person who I cannot tell that he did not learn english as his first or even second language ;)

05:54.56Vensoncanllaith: that was in kannada :P ...i can make you a hindi one, but it won't look artistic at all
05:55.14canllaithYeah :) kannada was the first ?
05:55.30Vensoncanllaith: i won't be able to scan it since i dont have a scanner, but i could maybe mail you a digital image.
05:55.39Vensoncanllaith: kannada = second language (+ mother tongue)
05:55.53canllaithahhh ok then
05:56.04Vensoncanllaith: i studied sanskrit as my first language...and i know nought about it. :-S
05:56.10canllaithVenson, I like the kannada one actually and I am going to make up a nice poster in the gimp to print it out
05:56.20Vensonhence English = -1th language lol
05:56.20canllaithsanskrit, kannada, hindi, english ?
05:56.35Vensoncanllaith: yeah...studied each of them for over five years
05:57.24Vensoni'm like GCC...i compile many languages :P

06:12.07sarah03canllaith: Er, perhaps the subshell that's invoking 'mv' has "alias mv='mv -i'" somewhere?
06:12.36canllaithhmmm that's always possible I guess I should figure out what that shell is
06:13.01sarah03The easiest workaround is to tell it to use /bin/mv instead of just mv.

07:00.19canllaithand that's perfectly valid.
07:00.31canllaithThey simply have different priorities and that's why they do what they do and not what we do.
07:01.10canllaithThey have a reasonably large network of mainly microsoft based technologies but their DIT is someone who is sympathetic to OSS
07:01.28DeadS0ulwhat's DIT stand for?
07:01.32canllaithSo this could be an opportunity to be the driving force of a large migration
07:01.35canllaithDirector of IT
07:01.40DeadS0ulah
07:02.03canllaithand of course, he recognises that a move to open source (specifically KDE on linux) is something he'd be insane not to do with me around.
07:02.20canllaithSimply because while lots of people know more about KDE than I do, not so many are in our country
07:03.06DeadS0ulthen wouldn't your job require more descion making then actual technical work?
07:03.26DeadS0ulcanllaith: aren't you from NZ? I know a guy down there but he's into gnome and java heh
07:03.41canllaithheh so a guy, over the whole country
07:03.47canllaithand I'm not a NZer. At any rate.
07:04.00canllaithUm actually I'd be running dog lacky cause that's what I do best :)
07:04.27DeadS0ulNZ doesn't have much of a population
07:04.29canllaithI imagine a great deal of documentation and end user training
07:04.44canllaithWell, train existing staff to train end users
07:05.08canllaithand a lot of the actual migration work
07:05.15DeadS0ul..training, I could use some training in linux, instead of going through all the howts heh
07:05.19canllaithThat would be a huge project... like wow.

07:06.06canllaithSo yeah it would be a big job migrating them and I suspect we'd only have a partial migration but I'd love to do it

09:04.12linmainwould it speed up the work if i copy the configfiles of kde (where?) in a ramdisk?

09:06.14linmain_save_: but i 've seen iKDE reads alot from harddisk. especially at startup.
09:06.18Vensonme tried building it on my 1.1Ghz celeron.....and yeah, it was taking forever. Besides, i wasn't sure i was doing it right (and the machine became slow for everything else) so i cancelled it.
09:06.28VensonI wish i had an extra toy-machine on which to compile and play
09:07.02canllaithtisn't a toy .. I work on it while it builds
09:07.09canllaithjust build it as another user and renice everything that user does
