| cenerentola | hello ppl | 11:30 |
| cenerentola | could someone please explain me how to create a new faq entry in the wiki [im translating it in italian] ? | 11:31 |
| lulu | cenerentola: we are working on getting linguaPlone installed for local language support on the website in the Documentation section. | 11:35 |
| cenerentola | should i do it in a normal page? | 11:35 |
| lulu | cenerentola: on the wiki, simply log in and go to the Italian documentation section. http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/ItalianDocumentation | 11:35 |
| cenerentola | then? | 11:36 |
| lulu | cenerentola: check out: https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DocumentHowto | 11:38 |
| lulu | and http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HelpPage | 11:38 |
| lulu | for assistance. | 11:38 |
| cenerentola | lulu: halt... normal page or not? just this... i know where the help page are and where the documentation is... i wrote part of it | 11:39 |
| lulu | cenerentola: in the Italian section, you can create new pages by using the 'create new' page at the bottom of main wiki page. | 11:45 |

| George^Deka | nite all | 12:17 |
| George^Deka | any apt pinning experts here, i want to apt pin firefox from hoary for warty | 12:19 |
| ChrisH | George^Deka: morning. :) | 12:19 |
| ChrisH | George^Deka: yes, a little... | 12:19 |
| ChrisH | George^Deka: add both sources in the sources.list | 12:20 |
| ChrisH | George^Deka: then set APT::Default-Release "warty" in the apt.conf | 12:20 |
| ChrisH | George^Deka: finally run "apt-get -t hoary install firefox" | 12:20 |
| ChrisH | George^Deka: you may also use pinning... but this one is more secure against misconfigurations | 12:21 |
| George^Deka | thanks ChrisH | 12:23 |
| George^Deka | i have an apt.conf.d that it ? | 12:23 |
| sivang | ChrisH : does it matter the order of the sources you put into the list? | 12:24 |
| ChrisH | sivang: nope... if you are not pinning or setting a default release apt will always use the newest version | 12:24 |
| ChrisH | sivang: you can find out with "apt-cache policy mozilla" for example | 12:24 |
| sivang | wow cool | 12:25 |
| George^Deka | ChrisH: i have an apt.conf.d that it ? | 12:25 |
| ChrisH | George^Deka: no... just create the /etc/apt/apt.conf if it's not there | 12:25 |
| sivang | yes you need to create the apt.conf file | 12:26 |
| George^Deka | thanks, not got some syntax error, extra jargon at end of file - saved it as unicode | 12:33 |
| George^Deka | fixed just needed a ; | 12:42 |

| lulu | Que: I've just had Diogo ask where the Portugese Documentation has gone....https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/PortugueseDocumentation. I'm a newbie at Zwiki - in recent changes, it looks as if it wasn't deleted. | 07:13 |
| lulu | could someone with more knowledge advise please? | 07:14 |
| sm-reading | hi lulu.. he deleted it, an hour ago | 07:18 |
| lulu | sm-reading: where did you find that :o) | 07:19 |
| lulu | I saw he added DocsParaProgramadores NEW | 07:20 |
| sm-reading | I'm subscribed to the wiki; I filtered my ubuntu-doc mail folder by "portuguese" :) | 07:20 |
| falco | it's a translation for DevelopersDocumentation | 07:20 |
| sm-reading | you can also check http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/recycle_bin/folder_contents | 07:21 |
| sm-reading | thirdly, you could look in the ZMI undo tab for the folder | 07:21 |
| falco | it's there | 07:21 |
| === sm-reading has solutions | ||
| lulu | but not associated to the FrontPage anymore? | 07:22 |
| falco | how may it went there? | 07:22 |
| sm-reading | if he had renamed the page, the FrontPage link would have been updated | 07:22 |
| falco | it seems to me that not | 07:22 |
| sm-reading | or if he had entered the new name as "replacement" in the delete form, the link would have been updated | 07:23 |
| sm-reading | but he just deleted it, so FrontPage needs to be updated manually | 07:23 |
| falco | there is no replacement | 07:23 |
| falco | it's a mistake | 07:23 |
| falco | it should be put back | 07:24 |
| sm-reading | lulu, if you're logged in as manager you can click undo, I think you'll see the delete | 07:25 |
| sm-reading | that's the easiest way to undo | 07:25 |
| sm-reading | otherwise, copy from recycle_bin and paste back into /wiki | 07:25 |
| lulu | sm-reading: and falco: ahh ok....I think Diogo needs to learn too. I'll copy this and reply to his email. | 07:26 |
| lulu | thanks guys, for your help. | 07:26 |
| lulu | :o) | 07:26 |
| sm-reading | np | 07:27 |
| sm-reading | lulu: nb you wrote "in recent changes, it looks as if it wasn't deleted." - after being deleted, it shouldn't appear in rc and didn't for me - if you saw it, probably a caching glitch | 07:30 |
| lulu | sm-reading: correct - I didn't see it in recent changes. thanks :o) | 07:31 |
| lulu | sm-reading: why is it that deletions aren't shown? | 07:31 |
| sm-reading | ah, you expected to see it | 07:32 |

| falco | sm: so to recover the page should it be reparented? | 07:43 |
| falco | I'm not used to this wiki | 07:43 |
| falco | it seems a bit alien | 07:43 |
| sm | no, reparenting isn't involved here | 07:47 |
| falco | so what should be made? | 07:47 |
| sm | falco: to undelete a page, it must be moved out of the recycle_bin subfolder | 07:47 |
| falco | how? | 07:48 |
| sm | I don't know if you (a member) have permission for that | 07:48 |
| sm | can you see the recycle bin (url above ?) do you see a copy button ? | 07:48 |
| falco | I don't see a copu button | 07:48 |
| sm | ok.. l will do it, one sec | 07:49 |
| falco | *copy | 07:50 |
| sm | done | 07:50 |
| sm | were you logged in ? | 07:50 |
| falco | yes | 07:51 |
| sm | strange that I can.. I'm logged in as an ordinary member afaik | 07:57 |
| falco | maybe I'm just looking in the rong place... | 07:59 |
| falco | let me check again | 07:59 |
| falco | no | 08:01 |
| falco | I can't see it | 08:01 |

| enrico | I uploaded it to unstable today | 10:11 |
| enrico | You can download it and build the package (dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot) | 10:11 |
| enrico | Or, I can give you a web link | 10:11 |
| ChrisH | enrico: sounds like an eliza generator. | 10:12 |

| enrico | sivang: the reverse of bison: you give it an EBNF grammar, and it generates randomly an instance of the language | 10:14 |
| sivang | wow | 10:14 |
| enrico | We can have a generator of FAQs: | 10:14 |
| enrico | Do you know how might I insert the 3D proxy to a login? | 10:14 |
| enrico | You should send the software of the SMTP provider of a cache over the tool but from Windows 9.4 or from the file inside Mac you should never get access over a parallel connection to turn off a serial icon. | 10:14 |
| enrico | Man, do you know how to delete from the kernel of the BIOS mousepad to a shell? | 10:15 |
| enrico | You should never download the tool to insert in a RO processor. | 10:15 |
| enrico | and so on... :) | 10:15 |
| === sivang lost enrico | ||
| ChrisH | Cool. Make it subversion-capable and let's seize working on the book. It can do it alone. :) | 10:15 |
| === ChrisH always wanted a 3D proxy | ||
| enrico | sivang: basically, it's a really advanced program that you can use to generate bullshit :) | 10:16 |
| sivang | what's a 3d proxy? | 10:16 |
| ChrisH | enrico: does it have a "microsoft bashes linux" or "sco sues torvalds" mode? Might be funny. | 10:16 |
| enrico | sivang: an automatically generated tecno-like silly thing | 10:16 |
| sivang | bison does th reverse? it takes the grammer and checks for valid phrases... | 10:16 |
| ChrisH | sivang: The output does not claim to make sense. It's just auto-bullshit. | 10:17 |
| enrico | ChrisH: it has various grammars, and it's farily easy to write a new one | 10:17 |
| enrico | I wrote a generator of social science papers: | 10:17 |
| enrico | Coddling a systematization: the prominent design to the tyrannical congress of congress. | 10:17 |
| enrico | The blanching of an accompanying: the operative disposition to the sound arrival of design. | 10:17 |
| enrico | A firm acting of scheme? Which future? | 10:17 |
| enrico | And so on :) | 10:17 |
| ChrisH | sivang: A grammar is used to define a language. If you want to parse a language you need a parser (like "bison"). The other way round you can have a program that wildly creates syntactically (not semantically = meaningful) sentences. | 10:17 |
| sivang | ChrisH : so I take the grammer which I normally feed into bison, and let a generator create random sentences that adhere that grammer rules? | 10:18 |
| enrico | sivang: yes, but it doesn't have the same input syntax as bison | 10:19 |
| enrico | sivang: it has an input syntax which is designed for support generating text, to control the probabilities of the different parts of the generated text and so on | 10:19 |
| sivang | enrico : EBNF <== is this how the bison grammer called? (or a general grammer for specifying ruls) | 10:19 |
| enrico | sivang: Extended Backus Naur Format | 10:20 |
| enrico | sivang: it's those grammars like: | 10:20 |
| enrico | animal := warthogs, hedgehog, groundhog | 10:20 |
| sivang | yes | 10:20 |
| sivang | Now I recall | 10:20 |
| enrico | adjective := warty, hoary, grumpy | 10:20 |
| enrico | ubuntu := adjective animal | 10:20 |
| sivang | ah actually it looks diffenet | 10:20 |
| sivang | sec. | 10:20 |
| enrico | (In polygen you can easily do things like matching the initials, thuogh :) | 10:21 |
| sivang | this is the lexical defitiontions? | 10:23 |
| enrico | sivang: the syntax definition | 10:24 |
| enrico | Maybe also the lexical definition, but I haven't used that term | 10:25 |
| sivang | this is what I worked with, this is fed into bison: | 10:25 |
| sivang | % | 10:25 |
| sivang | assignment : NAME '=' assignment | 10:25 |
| sivang | | NAME '=' exp | 10:25 |
| sivang | ; | 10:25 |
| sivang | exp : exp '+' exp | 10:25 |
| sivang | | exp '-' exp | 10:25 |
| sivang | | exp '*' exp | 10:26 |
| sivang | | exp '/' exp | 10:26 |
| sivang | | '-' exp %prec UMINUS | 10:26 |
| sivang | | NAME | 10:26 |
| sivang | (or at least, I let bison process this) | 10:26 |
| enrico | Yes, polygen takes something similar | 10:26 |
| sivang | ok | 10:26 |
| enrico | You would also need to tell what is an exp and all the possible instances of NAME | 10:26 |
| sivang | yes | 10:27 |
| sivang | and give a default value | 10:27 |
| enrico | default value? | 10:27 |
| sivang | if it doesn't match anything | 10:27 |
| enrico | Oh, it doesn't need to match: it just generates random text that fits in that grammar | 10:27 |
| enrico | So with that grammar you'd run it once and it'd tell you: | 10:28 |
| enrico | 3+5*1--3 | 10:28 |
| enrico | You run it another time and it'd tell you: | 10:28 |
| sivang | Ah I see, cool :) | 10:28 |
| enrico | pippo=2*9 | 10:28 |
| enrico | and so on :) | 10:28 |
| ChrisH | Does anyone know where the CD creator in Nautilus places the files? it seems to be broken here. | 10:30 |
| sivang | ChrisH : you need to tell it something, lemme check | 10:30 |

| ChrisH | Now I don't even have a context menu. Something seems to be broken with it. | 10:33 |
| sivang | ChrisH : you | 10:34 |
| sivang | 've ALT+F2 : "nautilus-cd-creator" ? | 10:34 |

| enrico | ChrisH: else, install xdiskusage | 10:35 |
| enrico | ChrisH: or filelight | 10:35 |
| ChrisH | sivang: I know how to start it. But where does it collect the files to be burnt? | 10:35 |
| enrico | They tell you where disk space is consumed | 10:35 |
| sivang | ChrisH : it's supposed to be somewhere under you .gnome2 folder | 10:35 |
| enrico | I particularly like xdiskusage, as it's really tiny | 10:36 |
| === boglot [~logbot@mentors.workaround.org] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| sivang | very very nice | 10:36 |
| sivang | enrico : xdiskusage | 10:37 |
| ChrisH | can't find it :( | 10:37 |
| enrico | filelight is much cooler, thuogh (but it uses kde) | 10:37 |
| enrico | ChrisH: can't find xdiskusage or the Nautilus file? | 10:38 |
| ChrisH | enrico: the place where the nautilus-cd-burner places the files... because I cannot use it any more | 10:38 |
| enrico | ChrisH: you can also use "find ~ -mmin 60" to see the files modified in the last hour | 10:38 |
| sivang | ChrisH : it's symlinks.. erghgh | 10:39 |
| sivang | it doesn not create real file IMHO | 10:39 |
| ChrisH | "killall nautilus" and it works again... weird | 10:39 |
| ChrisH | sivang: looks like it just create symlinks or something like that | 10:39 |
| sivang | ChrisH : ah! that's a know bug I think | 10:40 |
| sivang | if not someone should enter it to the bugzilla, | 10:40 |
| sivang | I got so used to killall nautils to show files I copied into the system | 10:40 |
| sivang | :) | 10:40 |
| ChrisH | enrico: find didn't find anything :) | 10:42 |
| enrico | ChrisH: are you sure that what you're looking for actually exists? | 10:44 |
| enrico | You can also find in /var | 10:44 |
| ChrisH | enrico: it's probably there... | 10:46 |
| ChrisH | enrico: perhaps it's just collecting file names in RAM and reading them directly during the iso mastering... no idea | 10:47 |
| ChrisH | Hell! The CD creator took up 500 MB of RAM and died! | 11:15 |

| __daniel | hai | 11:15 |
| enrico | ChrisH: RAM?? | 11:15 |
| __daniel | does anyone of you have problems logging into the wiki, too? | 11:15 |
| enrico | That's crazy | 11:15 |
| enrico | __daniel: I'm trying | 11:16 |
| sivang | ChrisH : nautilus is still nowhere stable | 11:16 |
| enrico | __daniel: the server has terminated sending data | 11:16 |
| __daniel | thanks enrico | 11:16 |
| __daniel | enrico: damn :-( | 11:16 |
| __daniel | enrico: just wanted to add a cool idea to it | 11:17 |
| ChrisH | sivang: Indeed. I should have stayed on KDE. | 11:18 |
| enrico | __daniel: post it to the list :) | 11:18 |
| __daniel | enrico: i was told to put it on the wiki first :-) | 11:18 |
| enrico | __daniel: but since that failed, go for the second option ;) | 11:19 |
| __daniel | enrico: i'll have to wait... it seems | 11:19 |
| sivang | ChrisH : still, I don't think I will go back to KDE | 11:19 |
| sivang | GNOME is far more inntuutive and automagical to me then KDE, especially in simple everyday tasks | 11:19 |
| sivang | __daniel : what's the idea? :) | 11:20 |
| ChrisH | sivang: somehow when I logged in a week ago the top panel disappeared. I needed to recreate it. Nothing was in there. When I added the menu I got two menus. And now it takes up to a minute before the top bar shows up. | 11:20 |
| __daniel | sivang: suggest thesises and projects for students to enhance ubuntu :-) | 11:20 |
| ChrisH | sivang: With Gnome it feels like I need to remove my .gnome2* stuff every week to be stable :( | 11:21 |
| __daniel | sivang: sabdfl liked it :-) | 11:21 |
| sivang | __daniel : very nice ! can non students participate? :) | 11:21 |
| __daniel | sivang: of course! :-) | 11:21 |
| sivang | ChrisH : Strange, I didn't bump into nothing like that, the worse I get, a decent killall or login in out fixes it.. | 11:21 |
| __daniel | sivang: i was in a (constitutive) meeting of a unix working group on my university today and most would like to help out and do their thesis about it, but wouldn't know where to start, so i had the idea | 11:22 |
| __daniel | sivang: they'd devote 2*6 months of time :-) | 11:23 |
| enrico | Thesises are super-powerful things! | 11:23 |
| __daniel | :-) | 11:23 |
| __daniel | didnt know if the plural of thesis would even exist :-) | 11:24 |
| enrico | So it'd be like a service to tell people what they could do? | 11:24 |
| sivang | __daniel : I've always wanted to get in uni, still hasn't yet :) | 11:24 |
| __daniel | or make sure they know , they COULD do a change :-) | 11:24 |
| sivang | __daniel : that's very nice, how can someone not a student help out? | 11:25 |
| __daniel | sivang: they could check that site too | 11:26 |
| __daniel | i'm no ubuntu official, so i dont know | 11:26 |
| __daniel | sivang: i just started my uni project on something i always wanted | 11:27 |
| sivang | __daniel : what is it? :) | 11:27 |
| __daniel | sivang: a library for applications to make it possible to save user preferences on a server | 11:27 |
| sivang | __daniel : users preferences in the library? | 11:28 |
| __daniel | to not having to copy config files around | 11:28 |
| __daniel | if i finished it, apps can save/load the user preferences to/from the server | 11:29 |
| __daniel | :-) | 11:29 |
| === enrico would love __daniel | ||
| sivang | Oh nice | 11:29 |
| __daniel | it's just an idea... don't know if ANYONE would implement in their app :-) | 11:29 |
| __daniel | coolest thing would be to hack up gconf to use it ;-) | 11:29 |
| __daniel | but that's not part of the thesis ;-) | 11:29 |
| __daniel | i'm glad my professor liked the idea | 11:30 |
| sivang | something liek domain controller? Please correct me if I'm wrong, don't redhat uses some kind of std unix tool to move around (roam) user profiels in a fedora session? | 11:30 |
| __daniel | well i didnt want to move files around or sniff on registry changes | 11:31 |
| __daniel | so now, it's just the library you add to your project and it'll work on linux/windows/... (when it's finished ;-)) | 11:31 |
| __daniel | well that's the general idea... ;-) | 11:32 |
| sivang | wow nice | 11:32 |

| enrico | hi plovs | 11:55 |
| __daniel | the ubuntu.com webserver guy isnt here, is he/she? :-) | 11:56 |
| enrico | __daniel: no, but you can tell me and I can try and ask in #ubuntu-devel | 11:56 |
| enrico | (or you can ask in #ubuntu-devel if you are into that channel) | 11:56 |
| __daniel | i asked if some of them also had the problem, but they didn't respond | 11:57 |
| __daniel | enrico: but maybe they'll listen to you ;-) | 11:57 |
| enrico | __daniel: I tried: let's see what happen | 11:58 |
| sivang | ah reply! | 12:00 |
| sivang | :) | 12:00 |
