[07:17] r u normally known as Kotiro? [07:17] no..as Liz [07:18] yes I saw th equestion, not sure I understand [07:18] kotiro means girl in maori [07:18] when i set this system up..abiword was installed by default [07:18] but i asked a friend..it wasnt installed by default on his [07:18] so i was just wondering, since i didnt see anything on it in the quickguide [07:18] if it was installed by default or not? [07:19] No Abiword is not installed by default [07:19] It will only install on Upgrade if you have already got it installed [07:19] it was already installed [07:19] on new install you need to select it for install [07:19] then again..i did install ubuntu when it was first released [07:19] im wondering if it could be because i have a pre-release installation as well [07:20] So it was an upgrade [07:20] i never got around to doing the full install when the shipit discs arrived [07:20] tho i have done all the upgrades etc [07:20] most of us are running hoary development branches now [07:20] ditto..tho i had to go backwards at one part cause of some conflicts i had with other software [07:21] to get them to work [07:21] strange, I did not have those problems. Have not heard any of the other team talking about it either [07:21] i have seen in on the mailing list [07:21] and a friend who i sent my discs too..did have problems with his [07:22] perhaps, I meant to doc team [07:22] but its to do with monitors and sound cards etc [07:22] and network cards [07:22] and video cards [07:22] Yes there are problems in those areas [07:22] most of them are resolved now [07:22] i just had a problem with mplayer [07:23] why with mplayer [07:23] not quite sure [07:23] ok [07:23] when i upgraded, some files just wouldnt install [07:23] alsa headers, xorg..and some other lib files [07:23] I see dependancy problems [07:24] yeah [07:24] Liz, abiword is not installed by default [07:24] which was a little annoying [07:24] normally synaptic will take care of all that for you [07:24] thansk plovs_work.. [07:24] normally..but i updated a few programs ..ie ..mozilla..and gaim [07:24] which doesnt show up on the synaptic lists yet [07:25] gaim is part of hoary [07:25] dunno about mozilla cause I just user firefox [07:25] yes.its part of warty too [07:25] after the hassle i had with java..mozilla is staying [07:25] tho i have both running now [07:25] so I don''t understand the problem [07:25] java [07:25] what version of gaim do you run? [07:26] whew girl what ar eyou running [07:26] what versions in hoary? [07:26] I dont run it it's just there, [07:27] ahh..well ..i do use it [07:27] My hoary boxes are for devel [07:27] ahhh. [07:27] so hows your patch comming [07:27] good..i sent it to enrico yesterday [07:27] remember work small patch often [07:28] yes I saw that [07:28] nice one [07:28] thanks [07:28] no thank you [07:28] you should try some original writing on some of the sections marked help === froud reminds himself to add Liz and Jeff as authors === Liz is going through quickguide to find help sections [07:30] /*[@status="help"] [07:31] yes..found it [07:31] im using gedit [07:32] this should help then [07:32] /book[1] /chapter[1] /sect1[4] - id="qg-additional-resources" status="help" [07:32] /book[1] /chapter[3] /sect1[5] - id="qg-office" status="help" [07:32] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[1] /sect2[5] - id="qg-shared-folders" status="help" [07:32] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[1] /sect2[7] - id="qg-time-and-date" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[1] /sect2[9] - id="qg-users-and-groups" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[1] - id="qg-assistive-technology" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[2] - id="qg-cd-database-server" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[3] - id="qg-desktop-background" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[4] - id="qg-file-management" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[5] - id="qg-font" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[6] - id="qg-keyboard" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[7] - id="qg-keyboard-shortcuts" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[8] - id="qg-login-photo" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[9] - id="qg-menus-toolbars" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[10] - id="qg-mouse" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[11] - id="qg-multimedia-system-selector" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[12] - id="qg-network-proxy" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[13] - id="qg-preferred-applications" status="help" [07:33] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[14] - id="qg-remote-desktop" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[15] - id="qg-removable-storage" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[16] - id="qg-screensaver" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[17] - id="qg-sessions" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[18] - id="qg-sound" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[19] - id="qg-theme" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[2] /sect2[20] - id="qg-windows" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[5] - id="qg-about-gnome" status="help" [07:34] /book[1] /chapter[5] /sect1[6] - id="qg-about" status="help" [07:34] These are all the sections that are marked help as of r546 [07:34] BTW. If you see sections marked review and you think they are as good as finished. Please do mark them complete [07:35] oh..ok [07:35] im decided to start from the bottom actually... [07:35] well that is a good way to start [07:36] yeah.. [07:36] tho..some things i might have to actually enable, to see what they do..hehe [07:37] If you mark a status as complete and it contains an authorblurb then please [07:37] Keep text simple and quick. My thinking is that we need to get at least all texts into the document [07:38] then we can add to it later [07:38] if we have all intro para texts then at least users wont see just the word 'Text' under the screenshot [07:38] from this point we can build more. [07:39] although we must take care not to get to carried away, this is the Quick Guide afterall [07:39] We will have plenty more to write in the User Guide === froud is off to do the school run. [07:41] rightio === jeffsch [~jeffsch@fatwire-203-25.uniserve.ca] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:15] hello jeffsch [08:15] and brb === plovs_work [~plovs@195.13.248.82] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Liz [~maori@203.87.27.63] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:19] greetings. this is my first irc experience. wow. [08:19] well then welcome [08:19] hello jeffsch [08:19] welcome to irc [08:20] thanks. I still figuring out how to use x-chat [08:20] froud..any idea exactly what movement key actually does? [08:20] movement key? [08:21] under computer, desktop preferences, windows [08:21] its the last option..ive tried it..but i cant see what it actually does [08:23] Liz, it is to move windows around, usually you grab them with the top-bar [08:23] but you can also press alt and then anywhere in the window press the mousebutton and move around [08:23] good when your window is too big or something [08:23] the help for the movement key is not very clear, is it? [08:23] ahh..ok [08:24] no, its not [08:24] i never would have guessed that... [08:24] i actually asked in teh ubuntu channel..hehe [08:24] but then screwed up my taskbar and had to restart it [08:26] froud, if i do an authorburb..im right in putting in my own name yes? [08:32] Yes [08:33] the authorblurbs are used for notes to each other during devel. We comment them out in the release. [08:37] jeffsch: your patch has been applied. Thanks. svn up everyone there are a few sections touched in that patch. :-) [08:38] sending you my patch froud [08:39] send them on, I'm in the mood for hunking :-) [08:39] feeel like hunking, oh come on and hunk with me === froud had a good sleep last night and is full of beans this morning [08:41] hehe [08:41] sent [08:43] what app are you all using for changes? I started with gedit, but now trying jedit [08:43] gedit [08:43] im used to using that [08:44] jedit is better [08:44] funny enough, i installed all the files to allow abiword to open it, but it just crashed [08:44] I use Oxygen XML Editor. [08:44] many here use VIM [08:44] some use emacs [08:44] ive used emacs [08:44] but i need all my notes on hand..i never remember the commands [08:44] and i always screw up [08:45] Liz: your patch has been applied. Thanks. everyone can svn up again [08:45] I used emacs a few years ago, but i forgot everything [08:45] i also tried vim, but like emacs, it's a lot of work to get good at [08:45] ill stick to using gedit i think [08:46] i use that to edit html pages as well [08:46] i did use qanta for a while..cause it does php highlighting as well [08:46] any text editor will do [08:47] well I am off to do some other work. yes, I do have other things to do. Thanks for the patches this morning jeffsch and Liz . Made a great start to my day.

[01:37] id never heard of it till it showed up on the slug mailing list [01:37] then jeff did a presentation of it just before release at a slug meeting [01:37] and it appeared again at a install fest that was held at my local university [01:38] ive been using it ever sine [01:38] since [01:38] still trying to get games to work in it..i mean cdrom games [01:38] im a diablo addict..as well as a neverwinter nights one [01:39] Liz: i think that cedega can handle them [01:39] or not?

[06:20] strange stuff [06:20] and he doesn't give many details on his /whois [06:22] enrico: any idea why we have 'evolution' twice in the menu system? [06:22] shouldn't be... [06:22] Once under Internet and once under Office [06:22] is it two icons next to each other, or in two different menus? [06:22] Ah, ok. Could be ebcause evo is also an organizer and planner [06:22] Hmm good point === froud goes to vnc to test it [06:23] Bingo but /me thinks it's a bit pointless === froud back in 10 min [06:24] not too pointless: if you put it in Internet, you don't find it if you think at the organizer, and vice vera [06:24] versa [06:49] Hmm maybe [06:50] enrico: Ok tonight I will commit my last for a few days. I will be away for a few days. Next time I will be abl eto do anyting is on Monday next week. Is there anything that needs doing now, or that will happen while I am away like tagging [06:53] Needs doing now? Uhm, nothing comes to my mind. I'll have a review of everything in the next days. [06:53] But I can do tagging, don't worry [06:54] Ok so people can still contribute for the next week or so?

[07:28] trickie just sits in silence and does his thing without anyone noticing :-) [07:32] I wish Debian had more and more people like that [07:32] he he, wishful thinking [07:32] well I am at 21 commits and 2 patches today. Now were should I work next? [07:33] Im on a roll [07:33] when the end gets near it's a good idea to push harder [07:34] froud: wow1 [07:34] froud: wow! [07:35] Jeff and Lizz gave some good stuff in this morning. Quite large patches [07:36] froud: what you could do? Uhm... we're short of goals for Hoary, it seems :) [07:36] There's also upstream documentation needing some review, if you have nothing to do :) [07:37] which upstream :-) [07:38] any? : [07:38] :) [07:38] Debian is a no go for me. The Karma there is not good for my health. [07:39] all manpages linking to undocumented should be written; sometimes per-app documentation is awful, stuff like that [07:39] GNOME, I think Shaumn has it under control [07:39] Not today, may be next week [07:39] once I get started I will not want to go to Cape town in the morning [07:40] but I think you should do that only if, when using hoary, you stumble on some documentation which is particularly bad [07:45] enrico: are your xrefs showing ok in yelp [07:45] mine are all wacked [07:46] wacked? You mean, xrefs to other doucuments? [07:46] after installing the package? [07:46] no I am running the development branch, pretty much on the head [07:46] yelp is 2.9.3 [07:47] I have the same problem under SuSE using Yelp 2.6.1 [07:47] Isn't there a newer version of yelp [07:49] froud: whacked you mean "don't show up?" [07:49] no they are not formatted correctly [07:50] they are in heading style and form a block [07:50] I'm looking at the one in quickguide.xml:192, and it just doesn't show [07:53] revision of quick guide is 569 [07:53] yes, they just disappear here [07:53] oh line 192 [07:53] what version of yelp are you using [07:53] and the next one in 202: disappeared [07:54] I'd ask Shaun [07:54] mine dont disappear they are just large as if they are headings === froud goes of to irc.gnome.org #docs to ask [08:27] enrico: where can we checkout the ubuntu copy of Yelp [08:29] Perhaps I can patch the XSL and we can move it upstream [08:38] enrico: Shaunm thinks he has messed up the endterm stuff in the XSL's. Where can I get the Ubuntu src of Yelp so I can patch the XSL. This way it can be fixed in Hoary and we can move it upstream to GNOME [08:49] email me if you have an answer.
