A little time left for the final release ;)

Good luck Pardus Dudes :)

Now it uses Solid for Network status, Disk info and CPU info. Also with great helps of Will Stephenson I added Solid::Networking support for updating network status system widely to the our Network-Manager Plasmoid ;)

Pardus Network Manager Plasmoid:

Network Manager DataEngine;

Now we can use new shiny PolicyKit KDE4 ;) You should watch screencasts [1] [2] .. And always sources are in Pardus repository. Have fun !

When great projects come together results comes great !

Also I have a great video while it is working .. All of these written in Python, PyQt4 and of course PyKDE4 ;) You can grab the source from here.

We have a COnfiguration MAnageR called COMAR which uses D-Bus for communication. COMAR provides a powerful and extendible API for managing anything such as package, network, x.org, bootloader, disk or system service which are also described in model.xml.

From COMAR.Api.qt4 example:

import comar
 
# Create link
self.link = comar.Link()
 
def handler(package, exception, results):
    # do something with these info..
    print package, results
 
# Get all services from comar
link.System.Service.info(async=handler)

It will get you all services status and their info asynchronously to the handler method. Also if you want to start “openssh” service you can call it like;

link.System.Service["openssh"].start()

When you do this, COMAR will call the PolicyKit-KDE(3) and asks password if you have privileges for this action.(I will show it in action)

Yes, COM

I ported Yalı Qt3 version to Qt4 named as Yali4 (to avoid chaos; we still use Qt3 version for some of other projects); while porting I have totally changed some approach in visual design.

General UI:

In general I used Qt Style Sheet support for design basics; a centered shiny background, transparent icons and graphics in screens and some WidgetStyle from Qt Style Sheet examples. For screens I prefer QStackedWidget which supports transparency too and some signals for walking between screens. (Also while desining YALI’ screen infrastructure I tried to make it modular — I will blog it later. )

Standard widgets of Qt4 are enough for YALI but for making something shiny I made some tricks;

For each partition I used a QRadioButton (which has already have checked/unchecked state) and QSplitter to seperate them (each splitter width calculated from partition size).

Flexibility of Qt4 gave me this;

You just need some CSS tricks like this;

  QRadioButton::indicator { width:1px;height:1px;border-color:white; }
  QRadioButton:checked { border:6px solid rgba(255,255,255,180); }
  QSplitter::handle { background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0); }

and some colors and icons;

  metaTypes = {"ntfs" :{"bgcolor":"#18D918",
                        "fgcolor":"#000000",
                        "icon"   :"windows"},
               "hfs+" :{"bgcolor":"#C0A39E",
                        "fgcolor":"#000000",
                        "icon"   :"other"},
               "ext3" :{"bgcolor":"#7590AE",
                        "fgcolor":"#FFFFFF",
                        "icon"   :"linux"}}
 
  partition.setIcon(QtGui.QIcon(":/gui/pics/%s.png" % icon))
  partition.setStyleSheet("background-color:%s;color:%s" % (meta["bgcolor"],meta["fgcolor"]))

I’m done time is 03:50 now :) For more information about Yalı feel free to get in source at Pardus SVN.
