froudHas the BitTorrent thng been done yet?07:04

jeffschI have a question about that tho...07:07
=== froud sighs a sigh of relief
froudyep shoot away07:07
jeffschIn section 3, Performing Updates07:07
jeffschIt says it checks for updates once a day07:07
jeffschthis has not been my experience07:08
jeffschwill it do that on final release?07:08
froudHmmm, no it should do that now. The default setting is once a day. It does so on my system07:08
jsgotangcoblah need to restart X07:09
jeffschI think I see.... If it is running 24/7 then it checks for updates once a day07:10
froudcould be, perhaps you need to talk to mvo about it07:10
jeffschI only open it every couple of days. there isn't a daemon in the background?07:10
froudno I      think it checks on boot and even when update-manager is not running07:11

froudenrico: checkout http://www.inwords.co.za/kubuntu/inst/desktop-install.html07:12
=== froud starts brainwashing everyone to install kubuntu
enricoOh cute!07:13
froudyou like Kongi07:13
enricoI like the logo a lot07:13
froudthis guy does them http://www.kulma.org/linux/kde/kone.php?categ=kubuntu07:13
enricofroud: s/vis-a-verse/vice-versa/07:13
enricoOh those logos are really cute!07:14
froudsome to KDE, it's warm in here and if you find otherwise, let us know :-)07:15
jeffschI here KDE is faster than GNOME. True?07:16
jeffschs/here/hear07:16
=== enrico doesn't know
=== enrico knows froud will say yes, though ;)
jeffschwhen I bought my computer, I asked the salesman "is it quiet?"07:17
jeffschhe said "yes"07:17
jeffschit sounds like a jet engine07:18
enricomaybe the salesman was used to seel server racks07:19
enricothose turbines with 6 SCSI harddrives, 4 CPUs and 3 fans per hardrive and 2 per CPU07:19
enricoFirst time I turned on one of those, I jumped back07:19
froudenrico: in what sentence?07:20
jeffschdid you glue some wings on it and fly away?07:20
enricofroud: "Switching Desktops", end of first paragraph07:20
enricojeffsch:  :)07:20
enricojeffsch: you could surely use it to dry your hair07:20
=== enrico notices that User's Guide doesn't build anymore
enricoThat is blocking updates on the HTML preview07:21
froudok, will see07:21
froudI always thought it was vis-a-verse07:22
enricofroud: I'm quite sure of that: I took 8 years of French and 5 of Latin :)07:22
froudhmmm ok07:23
jeffschenrico is right. I just looked it up07:23
enrico(Italian "lyceum" high schools have compulsory latin classes)07:23
froudok done07:23
enrico(and studying latin quite sucks)07:24
froudmust go see ya07:29
=== froud is now known as froud-away
jeffschencrico: user guide problem is in main.xml07:35
jeffschI think it's because it has docbook 4.1.2, but that's just a guess07:37
enricoshouldn't everything have DB 4.1.2 now?07:42
jeffschyes... <part> cannot have id attribute in 4.1.207:42
enricoThe error I get is this:07:44
enricowarning: failed to load external entity "/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/html/profile-chunk.xsl"07:44
enricocompilation error: file libs/html-cust.xsl line 6 element import07:44
enricoxsl:import : unable to load /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/html/profile-chunk.xsl07:44
enricodoesn't seem to complain about extra attributes: just about problems loading things07:45
jeffschwhen I run validate.sh i get this:07:45
jeffschabout/main.xml:9: element part: validity error : No declaration for attribute base of element part07:45
jeffschI remember reading somewhere that one of the big additions to DocBook 4.3 was id attribute to most tags07:46
jeffschsee http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/part.html07:48
jeffschonly status and label attributes are ok07:48
enricojeffsch: do you know how to fix it?07:50
jeffschone of two ways:07:50
jeffschremove id attribute, or07:50
jeffschchange main.xml to DocBook 4.307:51
jeffschboth options may break other things07:51
jeffschI don't know enough about it to go an make a change07:51
jeffschhave to look in svn change log. not my forte.07:52
enricook.  We can wait for froud maybe07:53
jeffschwhew! the easy way out! I likes it! :-)07:53
enricoI can have a look at it later, but atm I'm busy on another job...07:54
jeffschi will play with viewing svn change logs07:54
jeffschmaybe going back to docbook 4.3 is ok for main.xml07:55
enricouhm.. yes, actually07:58
enricowe're not shipping that with Hoary07:58
enricogood idea08:02
=== cc [~cc@byte.fedora] has joined #ubuntu-doc

froudwhich was why we roled back to 4.1211:50
enricofroud: we don't need scrollkeeper for the User's Guide anyway11:51

froudno only if it will be in Yelp11:51
froudif it is under any browser we are ok11:51
froudthinking ... you'e right11:51
froudbut how to get the doc into yelp if its not in scrollkeeper11:52
enricofroud: we don't need yelp for the User's Guide anyway11:52
enricoIt's not shipping with Hoary; then we'll have 6 months to fix yelp+scrollkeeper or to decide on a different system11:53
froudOK I will go up to 4.3 then11:53
froud4.3 is a better version11:53
froudOf course I would lik eto try 5.0 RelexNG ;-)11:54

=== froud humms, thinking I told you yelp was a bad idea ;-) and the horns grow longer
enricocan that env var have more than one catalog on it?12:11
froudtry it and see12:11
enricothey SHOULD work, but they DON'T because xsltproc is buggy12:15
enricothat is, the var would support more than one, but it's badly implemented12:15

mdkefroud, see what I mean?12:21
froudyeah, enrico needs an enema12:21
mdkewhoa12:21
=== mdke backs away
enricosugar in tomato sauce can exist to balance the acidity of tomatoes, but should not be perceivable12:22
mdkelol12:22
froudnow that's Italian thinking12:22
mdkeso true12:22
mdkeenrico, you have to send me food packages12:22
mdkei'll send you baked beans and ketchup in return12:22
enricoA bit of sugar is suggested when you make tomato sauce for pasta and you're not going to use it right away12:22
mdkeyeah12:22
enricoas the sauce would build up acidity12:22
enricomdke: ok!  I'll give the beans to my gw, who lived in York for 4 years12:23

mdkewhen are we gonna get the default markup on the wiki set to moin?12:30
enricoIt's been in WikiWishlist for quite some time :(12:32
mdkeis it difficult to do?12:33
mdkeloads of the non moin pages are really simple user pages which are just a couple of lines, so they are easy to convert, but it would be cooler if they were in moin already12:33
enricoyou should try to ping sm on that12:35
mdkei'm come across a couple which were written in moin, but not saved in it12:35
mdkeenrico, i will but i think he is pretty busy atm12:35

enricoWhen I had more time for it, I was considering contacting some of the most active wiki contributors to coordinate a bit together02:37
mdkeits an idea02:37
enricoAt the ubuntuconf we hacked together a script that would make stats over the mails coming from the wiki subscriptions02:37
enricoI can send it to you02:38
mdkesure02:38
mdkei'm not subscribed to the whole wiki, but i can do02:38
enricoBTW, here's another great source of recipes: http://www.liberliber.it/biblioteca/a/artusi/02:38
mdkei just follow the rss on new pages02:38
enricoIf you use procmail you can do it (else it's quite some mails getting in)02:38
mdkei'm not great with mail02:38
