\n As some of you might know, 3\/4 of guidance<\/a> has been put into Kubuntu<\/a>‘s latest release Breezy Badger<\/a> in the last moments.
\nNeedless to say that we’re (Simon and me) are really happy with that. This is quite unique, since
\nthat’s the first time (I know of) that KDE ships with PyKDE by default, and makes active use of
\nPython modules for KControl. For those not in the know, guidance is a set of kcontrol modules that
\nprovide editing of the init process (serviceconfig<\/em>), administrating user accounts, groups
\nand passwords (userconfig<\/em>) and an editor for fstab (mountconfig<\/em>).<\/p>\n

At
\naKademy in Málaga, usability expert Jan Muehlig of Relevantive<\/a> has been reviewing guidance for usability issues
\ntogether with me and proposed quite some potential improvements. Also at aKademy, I began working on
\na new dialogue for mountconfig which shows free space on a harddisk. The last couple of weeks I
\ndon’t have too much time for excessive coding sessions, but also working two or three hours a week
\nshows some progress eventually. The code that renders the bars works, also for swap space. What I’m
\nworking on at the moment is a bar that shows the pysical layout of the disk with the partitions in
\ndifferent colours. I’ll probably have to use different patterns also, since that might be necessary
\nfor visually impaired people. No biggie, though.<\/p>\n

Nice detail: No bugs that I know of have been reported yet, no angry users that complain about
\ntheir system not booting anymore after having used mountconfig. Guess that’s good. :-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
