| First I would like to thank everyone for the UI feedback in the last post. I got a lot of good ideas from it. KInfoCenter is all finished (well unless anyone finds bugs) so i thought i would list the new features that were included in the new rewrite. I shall also list where KInfoCenter is going from 4.5 to 4.6: KInfoCenter 4.5: - It’s now not a UniqueApplication, so you can run more than one instance. You cannot at the moment run the same KCM in multiple instances, that is planned for 4.6. - The side menu is now a treeview, it gives it better organisation and allows me to put certain KCMs in certain categories. - The about KCM is gone and replaced with a Summary KCM. There was no point in repeating the listing as it’s in the menu, the small information summaries have been moved to the default WhatsThis dialogs. - The processor, partition, sound, devices KCM’s have been removed as they are now duplicate features in the new Device Viewer KCM - Added Internationalisation to ...read more...

The last days I worked on porting newer versions of ModemManager (MM) and NetworkManager (NM) to SLE11-SP1. Basically, the NM version from openSUSE 11.2 plus some patches and the latest MM release v0.4 are working now, but that's not the point of this posting. It was the first time I touched the code of these tools. My expectation was that ModemManager should contain all modem related code and provide a DBus interface for NM to handle all the networking. The first issue I tested was using a mobile (GSM) via USB. It worked. Also UMTS/CDMA devices should work. But to my surprise ModemManager don't support plain modems (simple old and slow modems like a serial 56k modem) at all. Or did I miss something? So why is this daemon called ModemManager if there is no modem support? It's all about WWAN devices and not modems. Not that this project is completely new, the first git commit is from July 2008. If this should be a manager for modems, it should IMO support all ...read more...

| The old adage "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" applies, but nonetheless I felt the need to fix my laptop. It was cluttered with FSFE materials that I shouldn’t be carrying around, for one thing, and the Kubuntu 9.04 on it was decidedly long in the tooth. As prepwork for Akademy (o harbinger of doom!) I decided to clean it up: one Linux install, one OpenSolaris. This is an MSI 620GX laptop, which is a Centrino 2 based machine. Hardly exotic stuff. For social reasons — as in, Sebas had recently written glowingly about it — I started off with OpenSUSE 11.2. Installs nicely (but with GPT by default, it seems?) and delivers a good-looking KDE4 desktop, plenty of apps. Compositing was enabled (GeForce9600M GT). Setting up a devel environment was a mild challenge. For various projects I use svn, git, mercurial and darcs, so getting those is a first priority. Darcs was a little harder to get, but there is a package available, which I downloaded and installed manually. It was in one of the repositories, but I ...read more...

| It is quite normal, in Free Software initiatives, for people to come in, help out, become proficient, maybe even moderately famous, then eventually move on or drop out. Often life gets in the way, parenting, post entry level jobs and growing responsibilities reduce the available time something fierce and once one is no longer really familiar with the code base, it becomes hard to make an effective contribution in those short time and motivation windows that open up. Somewhat ironically, since a large part of my job revolves around KDEPIM, this is very true for me as well. Over the last two years or so, apart from lunch discussions over architectural issues with my colleagues, I've been able to do little more than ensure things build and work on OSX, my current main platform. Much to my delight, this has recently changed. After many years, our efforts to build and transition to the Akonadi platform are coming together lately. Although we've decided to delay by a month, relative to the normal KDE 4.5 release schedule, with KDEPIM, we are nearing ...read more...

| In my previous post, I mentioned about caching and how it was implemented. While doing so, with the intention of providing a rationale for using such a system, I made a hypothesis saying that caching of objects would make things run faster with a smaller memory footprint. Well, such a conclusion was pretty intuitive, but a programmer cannot deem it conclusive till we have numbers supporting this hypothesis. So, with the QTime class in my toolkit, I made a very rudimentary setup that would measure the time taken to run the defaultscript. The ‘defaultscript’, as I would call it is the script that currently runs when KWin is launched with the –stest argument. It’s just a for-now provision for making development a little easier. The setup was:
if(sargs->isSet(\"stest\")) {
stestWindow = new ScriptTesting();
stestWindow->setEngine(&scripting);
QTime t;
t.start();
stestWindow->runDefault();
qDebug()<<\"~/.kwin/scripting/defaultscript executed in\"< }
For the given situation atleast, it provided a good enough benchmark. As for memory consumption and CPU, I just monitored System Activity using KSysGuard. Given below are the results: Memory This is ...read more...

| The KDE e.V. membership has had the deference to let me in. It was communicated to me and other new members yesterday. I must say I've felt honoured to see the group I was accepted with (people like John Layt, whom I've interacted due to his work in KCurrency, and Sandro Andrade, whose blogs I've read on the planet). To me, it has been a rather lengthy process. or shall I say, at a moderate pace. I've started filling up the questionnaire in late December and I finished it end of May. Not bad for less than 10 questions, right? Not bad at all.

This is the second time I wrote this blog (wanted to publish before LinuxTag already) so I'll really try to keep it short. It is based on my talk on this subject at LinuxTag, which in turn was based on the earlier blogs about Being Free and discussions I had the night before the talk.
I'd like to refer to my earlier post where you can find links to earlier blogs.
Topics I'll go through:
- Good and Bad sides of Being Free
- 7 reasons why we're Free and What We Can Do
- The Challenge
The Good and the Bad
So the way our community works as I described in my previous blogs has good and bad sides. Good is that we're the most innovative and fastest growing FOSS desktop community, having a lot of fun developing truly Free Software. But there is Bad. I've touched on that in my flameworthy LinuxTag blog (and I will come back to that topic in a future blog). The way we develop software ...read more...

There's been some time since my last blog post. I prefer to write about the progress of my project when I have more significant changes to talk about.
My project affects an important part of KStars so I spend a lot of time analysing how to change things in an efficient and consistent way for the project.
I would like thank Akarsh and Prakash for giving suggestions and directions so that the project proceeds in the desired manner.
So, what's changed ?
The KSObjectList view with Context Menu is now the default view used for any list of SkyObjects. I have migrated the specific signals and slots that can be used within a list of SkyObjects, so that components are independent of each other.
KSObjectList can be used with any model, as required. I am also having in view extending some general models from Qt, if some nice KStars specific functionality can be achieved. Currently, in KStars there are two main models used: QStandardItemModel (Observing List dialog) and since we have a database of ...read more...

Вчера вышла новая версия популярного свободного набора легковесных загрузчиков Linux-ядра — SYSLINUX 4.Главным изменением в EXTLINUX в составе SYSLINUX 4 стало появление поддержки файловых систем ext4 и btrfs (что интересно, последнее было сделано сотрудником Intel). Также можно отметить полную поддержку дисков с GPT-разделами (включая диски / разделы более 2 Тб); новые модули ls.c32 и pwd.c32 для консольного вывода содержимого диска и отображения пути к текущему каталогу; значительное переписывание кода (вся файловая система была переписана на Си).

- Улучшенная поддержка CAPS, STARTTLS, SASL, IRC-сервисов
- Новый UPnP-модуль управления и удалённого ремапа портов роутера для DCC
- Полностью переписанная MDI-подсистема, повторяющая интерфейс вашей ОС
- Графический менеджер аддонов
- Редактор классов для обьектно-ориентированного скриптинга
- Переписанный модуль iograph, проверяющий загруженность полосы вашего интернет-соединения
- Поддержка анимированных аватаров(!)
- Добавлена возможность получать чужие аватары/информацию о пользователе без CTCP-запросов целому каналу
- Поддержка взаимодействия между процессами через DBus
- Поддержка MPRIS для управления плеером и отсылки информации
- Поддержка Phonon
- Улучшенная совместимость с KDE4, Mac OS X, Windows 7
- Множество новых опций для более тонкой настройки клиента
- Новые команды KVS и функции скриптинга
- Багфиксы(>500)
- Повышена документированность кода

 While working on vectorization I noticed the requirement for passing the right flags to GCC to get optimal performance. Per default GCC uses -mtune=generic and disables all newer instructions. This is nice for creating packages that work everywhere but bad for code that should give high performance. This becomes noticeable in two ways: - The SIMD instructions cannot be used. No SSE support is available until you pass -msse{,2,3,4.1,4,4a}. But be careful! If you pass -msse4 and only have a 65nm Core2 CPU you're likely to get a crash because of an "unknown instruction".
- The preference for instruction sequences and scheduling for optimal ILP usage depends on the -mtune parameter. Especially vectorized code can get a noticable performance improvement from using core2 or barcelona instead of generic. Also, I'd expect the Atom CPU to benefit a lot from properly scheduled code since the CPU doesn't do any instruction reordering, speculative execution, or register renaming - which is very different from the top of the line Intel/AMD CPUs.

In the last month and next couple of weeks we were/are developing a similiar application for Android, iPhone and the Desktop (using Qt and Quick) with native technologies. I will focus on Android and Qt as both are Open Source and we were developing them in a similiar fashion with one designer and one developer interacting with each other.
In both cases the application has a couple of views mainly consisting of a ListView of some sort and I will explain how this has been realized for Android and then with Qt Quick and provide some summary of what has worked well, what Qt Quick could learn from that. I have not worked with Qt Quick or Android prior to this project so I might have used the technology in the wrong way, and at your option you can either hold this against me or the technology.
We have started the project by doing the Android application. The model for my data is based on the abstract class called android.widget.BaseAdapter and I needed ...read more...

| Ждать релизов feh долго не приходится, проект развивается достаточно динамично. Но, поскольку этот отличающийся от большинства просмотрщик изображений был обделён вниманием в новостях, то я представляю версию 1.8. Большинство изменений касаются предыдущих версий, а отличия версии 1.8 от предыдущей таковы: - Окно превьюшек теперь не делается полноэкранным. Можно переключать между полноэкранным и обычным нажатием клавиши 'v'.
- Удалён ключ -G/--wget-timestamp из-за некорректной работы
- Теперь не добавляется ?randomnumber к запросу картинки, это сводило с ума некоторые серверы
Лучше всего менеджер картинок feh сочетается с тайловыми оконными менеджерами, благодаря отсутствию традиционных атрибутов приложения типа меню и кнопок. Основные фичи FEH: - Основан на библиотеке Imlib2
- Несколько режимов: Слайдшоу, Превьюшки, Список и другие.
- Управляется горячими клавишами. Множество горячих клавиш.
- Показ картинки через HTTP с автоперегрузкой (веб-камеры и прочее)
- Мимикрия под обои
Исходный код: http://www.chaosdorf.de/~derf/feh/feh-1.8.tar.bz2

Один из разработчиков KDE Aditya Bhatt в рамках проекта Google Summer of Code создал библиотеку под названием libface. Согласно блогу разработчика, QT/KDE-обертка библиотеки libface, которая названа libkface, появится "где-то в kdegraphics/libs", как только будет прекращена заморозка API, что сделает возможным ее использование не только в digiKam, но и в других проектах.

| Несколько дней назад Ovi Store объявил о ряде изменений, призванных облегчить жизнь рядового разработчика. Во-первых - теперь стать Ovi Publisher может любой индивидуальный разработчик (ранее позволялась регистрация лишь сотрудников компаний). Неприятная новость - при регистрации, как и прежде, нужно заплатить 50 евро (разовый платеж). Во-вторых - c начала июля Ovi Store поддерживает дистрибьюцию приложений, написанных на Qt. Qt приложения в Ovi Store могут таргетироваться на Nokia N8 (в них предустановленны библиотеки Qt 4.6) и на все устройства, начиная с S60 3.1. В последнем случае в дистрибутив должен быть внедрен специальный инструмент - Smart Installer. Он запускается при установке приложения, проверяет наличие на устройстве необходимых для его работы пакетов (в нашем случае - библиотек Qt) и докачивает их в случае отсутствия. Инструмент Smart Installer входит в состав недавно опубликованной финальной версии Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 (доступна для Win, *Nix и Mac). Кроме того, в Nokia Qt SDK опубликованы библиотеки QtMobility 1.0.1 с гарантией бинарной совместимости. В-третьих - запущена программа Public beta of Nokia signing, позволяющая бесплатно сертифицировать Qt, Symbian C++ и Flash Lite (если flash контент упакован в sis архив, а не в wrt ...read more...
