Re: Miro (Re: New Programs for Hardy?)

Miro is a great program, but it was *barely* working on my 1.5Ghz, 512ram laptop. Pretty much unusable. So, it wouldn't really fit the min ubuntu requirements and make some people unhappy. Not necessary... On Feb 9, 2008 10:29 AM, Vincenzo Ciancia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 09/02/2008 Conrad

Re: "Make sense" keymap to launch gnome-system-monitor?

It is only a keybinding, so as long as people can change it, then the default doesn't matter all that much. The only problem with the concept at the moment is that people will expect it to work during full-screen apps like Ctrl-Alt-Delete does in windows. It doesn't at the moment because SDL and op

Use SVG icons instead of PNG

I'm sure this has been asked before. Most of the system application launchers use PNG icons. For example, Firefox and Thunderbird (two of the most commonly used apps). Very few use SVG, like gnome-terminal. I like to have few icons on my desktops that are stretch to ~x2 their size. PNGs look a

Re: Miro (Re: New Programs for Hardy?)

Miro is a wonderful idea, and the Miro guide is an excellent web site, but the program itself is a painfully bloated (and buggy) pig. The word "refactor" echoes in the back of my mind every time I use it -- which is very often, because it's still an excellent concept! Alas, it should definitely not

I don't know about the average computer, but it probably varies quite a bit. I'm typing this on a P3 1Ghz with 256MB of ram. Ubuntu runs moderately slowly but easily survivable. Xubuntu runs decently. I'm a bit of a speed freak though, so I installed the core bits from the alternate cd and built a

Re: Use SVG icons instead of PNG

One intention for Hardy, at least from what I read before (correct me if it's changed) was to use SVGs for everything, so I'm guessing things are changing over bit by bit. Many of the apps have a png and an svg version available though. On Feb 9, 2008 10:36 AM, Ioannis Nousias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: Miro (Re: New Programs for Hardy?)

Mine is a ThinkPad T40. 1.5Ghz CPU, ATI Radeon 7500 (32mb ram, open-source "radeon" driver). I am using Miro's repository, so it is the latest version. That said, I think it would be great if we advertised it on the website (those screenshots could use some updating too, btw). On Feb 9, 2008 12:5

Re: "Make sense" keymap to launch gnome-system-monitor?

Doesn't xorg hold some keybindings? I thought Ctrl+Alt+Backspace worked to kill X in full screen apps, I'm sure I've used it in games. One thing we really do need is a way to easily make new keybindings. The existing gnome keyboard shortcuts GUI is fine, but it doesn't allow you to add them. Wh

Re: "Make sense" keymap to launch gnome-system-monitor?

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is the only keyboard control that x locks, and it kills x completely. There is no way to kill only the crashed full-screen app. Non-fullscreen apps can be killed with xkill or others, but when an app grabs the entire keyboard and crashes, it's Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or a hard power-o

Re: Miro (Re: New Programs for Hardy?)

I've done it on 192MB. It wasn't pretty (mostly because the open source ATI drivers are the only thing that supports the Rage II, and only at 800x600 when the card can do up to 102x768seriously, Ubuntu was *not* meant for 800x600 systems), but it was functional. That one's around 300MHz, I th

Re: "Make sense" keymap to launch gnome-system-monitor?

For some reason, I think Compiz's "unredirect fullscreen" setting lets Compiz get keyboard combos even while using a fullscreen app. I don't have it installed here, so I can't try, but I think I could open an xterm while running Battle for Wesnoth. On Feb 9, 2008 3:17 PM, Evan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Re: Miro (Re: New Programs for Hardy?)

Miro starts up with about 35MB of ram, and maxes out around 100MB, but only after downloading and watching a lot of stuff, and browsing many channels. When it starts for the first time, and you point it to any videos you already have on disk, it generates thumbnails for every one. This process is e

I haven't a clue when/if it will get included, but I really like the concept. If AutoFsck (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck) gets included, it would be a good place to integrate the options window. On 2/9/08, Piotr Zaryk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I noticed the disk-manager is checked
