froud | internal you mean within the same document | 09:45 |
trickie | yes | 09:45 |
trickie | Sean was telling/showing me how to use xref, but it doesn't render any thing in Yelp... | 09:45 |
froud | <xref linkend="[someId] "/> | 09:45 |
trickie | yeah... i have that now for something... | 09:46 |

trickie | yeah | 09:47 |
froud | what version of yelp | 09:47 |
trickie | hmmm... i'll check ... i still have warty on this machine | 09:47 |
trickie | 2.6.4 | 09:48 |
froud | Yes, it's wacked | 09:48 |
trickie | ok | 09:48 |
froud | I think it is best to run the make targets | 09:48 |
trickie | yeah | 09:48 |
trickie | ok | 09:48 |
froud | have you run make before | 09:48 |
froud | you can do make rn | 09:48 |
trickie | yeah | 09:48 |
froud | ok good | 09:48 |
trickie | nah i hadn't tried the make scripts | 09:49 |
froud | with all the problems in yelp I am betting on plain old html | 09:49 |
froud | I would like to use yelp, but it just has too many problems | 09:49 |
froud | I added make rn a few days ago | 09:50 |
froud | sent a message to the list about it | 09:50 |
trickie | yeah thanks | 09:50 |
trickie | that works ok... | 09:50 |
trickie | i get a hyperlink now... | 09:50 |
froud | Yes | 09:50 |
froud | want a tip | 09:50 |
trickie | yo | 09:51 |
froud | you can also add id attributes to things like title elements | 09:52 |
froud | <sect1 id="sect-somename"><title id="title-sect-somename">..... | 09:52 |
froud | then use <xref linkend="" endterm=""/> | 09:53 |
froud | where | 09:53 |
froud | <xref linkend="sect-somename" endterm="title-sect-somename"/> | 09:53 |
froud | It useful if you wantto take the lext link from somewhere else | 09:54 |
froud | for example from a subtitle | 09:54 |
trickie | yeah cool | 09:54 |
froud | <sect1 id="sect-somename"><title>...</title><subtitle id="subtitle-sect-somename">... | 09:55 |
trickie | i have been using endterm to link into a list | 09:55 |
trickie | can an id be given to any element? | 09:55 |
froud | yes you can also use it on phrase when the phrase is inline in a para | 09:55 |
froud | yes | 09:55 |
froud | what editor do you use | 09:56 |
trickie | gvim | 09:57 |
trickie | what do you use? | 09:57 |
froud | oxygen http://www.inwords.co.za/products.html | 09:58 |
froud | it's a commercail product | 09:58 |
froud | comercial | 09:58 |
froud | but only $64 | 09:58 |
froud | needs java | 09:58 |
trickie | ok... i have read good things about it | 09:59 |
froud | makes editing faster | 10:00 |
froud | and has tag insight so you can easily see the attibutes an element takes | 10:00 |
trickie | ah ok... like code completion suggestions in IDE's like eclipse | 10:01 |
froud | yes | 10:01 |
froud | you can also use oxygen as an eclipse plugin | 10:01 |
trickie | nice | 10:02 |
trickie | i like eclipse... i haven't installed any java software on ubuntu | 10:02 |
trickie | I used to use OSX for java based stuff cause it was so pain free... | 10:02 |
trickie | but now i put Ubuntu on my ibook too! | 10:02 |
froud | yeah, the ubuntu guys aren't hot on java | 10:02 |
trickie | no... | 10:03 |
froud | personally I love it | 10:03 |
froud | also like QT cause it can run anywhere | 10:03 |
trickie | although it seems pretty straight forward to get the Sun x86 installer happening | 10:03 |
trickie | yeah QT is nice | 10:03 |
froud | you installed Ubuntu instead of OXX | 10:03 |
froud | OSX | 10:04 |
froud | wow | 10:04 |
trickie | yeah | 10:04 |
froud | why OSX is so cool | 10:04 |
trickie | it worked so well! | 10:04 |
trickie | um... it is an old ibook, got as heap of ram, but it just doesn't keep sometimes | 10:04 |
trickie | it performs so much better with ubuntu on it | 10:05 |
froud | good to know | 10:05 |
trickie | but one day i want a G5 and then i'll stick to OSX :) | 10:05 |
trickie | wait... a dual G5 | 10:05 |
froud | yes G% is cool, but my dream is a Cray | 10:05 |
trickie | he he | 10:05 |
trickie | ah nice | 10:06 |
trickie | opne day aye | 10:06 |
trickie | one day aye | 10:06 |
froud | there's only two in south africa | 10:06 |

ChrisH | sivang: Hi... I'm in bed. 39.5C fever :( | 06:32 |
venda | ChrisH, so what you doing on IRC? | 06:58 |
ChrisH | venda: recovering :) | 07:04 |
ChrisH | venda: Actually I was curious what I missed. I'm not used to stay offline for three days. Makes me nervous. | 07:04 |
venda | ChrisH, have not missed much | 07:04 |
venda | ChrisH, you can see two of me now, froud and venda | 07:05 |
ChrisH | venda: at least you have become schizo :) | 07:05 |
venda | froud is my SuSE box, venda is my ubuntu box | 07:05 |
venda | finally got warty installed | 07:06 |
venda | after long fight o do so | 07:06 |
venda | then I switched of acpi in the BIOS and hey what do you know it worked. | 07:07 |
ChrisH | notebook? | 07:07 |
venda | no | 07:07 |
ChrisH | strange | 07:07 |
ChrisH | I only had troubles with installing Ubuntu on laptops. PCs always worked here. And I have very weird PCs. | 07:07 |
venda | yeah and a ran the install with linux acpi=off | 07:07 |
venda | but that did not work | 07:08 |
venda | only when I disabled in the bios | 07:08 |
=== abelli [~abelli@adsl-84-222-39-62.tiscali.it] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
ChrisH | I read that some manufacturers don't care much for their acpi implementation. It just needs to work on XP. | 07:08 |
venda | now I am trying to figure how we can do vendor drops in an easy way | 07:08 |
ChrisH | Yeah, the vendors drops thingy sounds both mightyful and mysterious to me. | 07:09 |
venda | problem is GNOME is in CVS | 07:09 |
ChrisH | We probably won't convince them to use baz. :) | 07:10 |
froud | and each apps has its own C/docs or C/help directory | 07:10 |
abelli | ciao | 07:10 |

froud | no worries I have a self contained flat upstairs | 07:19 |
froud | 100 m sq | 07:19 |
froud | would that be enough | 07:19 |
froud | Italy is nice but expensive | 07:20 |
abelli | etologist say i only need 10 , sq | 07:20 |
froud | etologists never been to africa :-) | 07:21 |
froud | Here to have good 'ubuntu' you need space :-) | 07:21 |
abelli | well the rest of the world seems to be very expensive compared to africa.. | 07:21 |
abelli | :) | 07:21 |
froud | Yes | 07:22 |
abelli | that's why my prime minister is silvio berl* | 07:22 |
abelli | because there's no ubuntu in the air :) | 07:22 |
froud | :--0 | 07:22 |
abelli | a little thougt: why can you buy a 90E computer and why cant you afford adsl? | 07:23 |
abelli | with "you" i mean south africans... | 07:23 |
froud | I am on DSL 512 | 07:23 |

froud | EU 129.1275 | 07:25 |

froud | maskie is on ISDN | 07:26 |
froud | special call rate on weekends | 07:26 |

froud | 7 ZAR for any call between friday night and monday morn | 07:26 |
froud | yeah, but still love africa | 07:27 |

froud | kawabunga!!! a what? | 07:28 |
froud | where | 07:28 |
froud | who | 07:28 |
froud | why | 07:28 |
abelli | in italy, there's an agency that _pretend_ to control | 07:28 |
abelli | services' rates | 07:28 |
froud | democracy is all about prentending to controll | 07:29 |
abelli | and its called anti-trust | 07:29 |
froud | yeah, there is that here | 07:29 |
froud | but this is the wild wild west | 07:29 |
froud | who cares about rules and regulations | 07:29 |
abelli | ok follow my reasoning: | 07:30 |
froud | on one side its good because there is much opportunity | 07:30 |
froud | ok reason | 07:30 |
abelli | id like to come in SA -> | 07:30 |
abelli | ...no no.. | 07:30 |
abelli | if in south africa computers are cheap.. | 07:30 |
venda | woza!! | 07:31 |
abelli | there's no need for a trashware.project right? | 07:31 |
venda | come again trashware.project | 07:31 |
abelli | because i was thinking to use ubuntu, for a trashware project we have for cuba. | 07:31 |
venda | Aah | 07:31 |
venda | yebo | 07:31 |
abelli | trashware: collecting old [but still decently usable computers] | 07:31 |
venda | TSF does that | 07:32 |
abelli | come again: yebo ;) | 07:32 |
venda | gives tuxlabs to the schools | 07:32 |
venda | yebo = yes | 07:32 |
venda | woza = come | 07:32 |
venda | TSF has 80 tuxlabs | 07:32 |
abelli | wow.. | 07:32 |
abelli | massive | 07:32 |
abelli | with ubuntu? | 07:32 |
venda | but computers are only cheap if you know where to get the parts and can build your own | 07:33 |
venda | dunno, I guess some with ubuntu | 07:33 |
venda | gotta read the tuxlabs manual | 07:33 |
venda | but its a brilliant project | 07:33 |
froud | http://www.tsf.org.za/index.php?option=content&task=blogsection&id=30 | 07:34 |
froud | beats having MS Windoze in the classroom :-) | 07:35 |
abelli | just for it, how much is a ultra sparc 60 in SA? | 07:35 |
froud | no idea | 07:35 |
froud | as I said I build my own | 07:35 |
abelli | so you dont know where i could get it? | 07:35 |

abelli | ehehe | 07:39 |
abelli | ok. | 07:39 |
