| Burgundavia | Kinnison, ping | 01:56 |
| Burgundavia | mdke, you here? | 02:04 |
| mdke | yeah | 02:04 |
| mdke | hiya | 02:04 |
| Burgundavia | do you have a dvd player? | 02:04 |
| mdke | yes | 02:04 |
| Burgundavia | you have totem-gstreamer? | 02:05 |
| mdke | not sure | 02:05 |
| mdke | if its in ubuntu-desktop | 02:05 |
| Burgundavia | about on totem will tell you | 02:05 |
| mdke | yeah ok i do | 02:05 |
| mdke | inserting dvd now | 02:06 |
| Burgundavia | see if it says it is streaming | 02:06 |
| mdke | totem could not play dvd, reason unknown | 02:06 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 02:06 |
| Burgundavia | you have marillait repos | 02:06 |
| mdke | no | 02:06 |
| Burgundavia | aah | 02:07 |
| mdke | but i have libdvdcss | 02:07 |
| Burgundavia | add deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main | 02:07 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 02:07 |
| mdke | do i still need to add? | 02:07 |
| Burgundavia | get libdvdcss2 | 02:07 |
| mdke | actually i think that is the one i have | 02:07 |
| mdke | lemme check | 02:07 |
| mdke | yes | 02:08 |
| Burgundavia | I would add that repo anyway | 02:08 |
| Burgundavia | and install that versin | 02:08 |
| mdke | hmm | 02:08 |
| mdke | i probably have the wrong version | 02:08 |
| mdke | says 1.2.8-woody | 02:08 |
| mdke | problem is I don't like marillat because it conflicts with my ubuntu mplayer | 02:09 |
| mdke | anyway have added and am updating | 02:09 |
| mdke | Burgundavia, dvd still not working | 02:13 |
| Burgundavia | err | 02:13 |
| Burgundavia | I just did a fresh install | 02:14 |
| Burgundavia | gstremer didn't work on my old machine | 02:14 |
| Burgundavia | but it does now | 02:14 |
| mdke | running it from a terminal tells me that gstreamer doesn't seem to like video/mpeg or audio/x-ac3 | 02:14 |
| Burgundavia | hmm | 02:14 |
| Burgundavia | it seems gstreamer is still borked | 02:15 |
| mdke | have you tried with a new user? | 02:15 |
| Burgundavia | I am a new user | 02:15 |
| Burgundavia | I just reinstalled today | 02:15 |
| mdke | oh | 02:15 |
| Burgundavia | this why I am thinking about this | 02:16 |
| Flonne | I'm about to re-install... | 02:16 |
| Flonne | x86? | 02:16 |
| Burgundavia | yes, I run x86 | 02:18 |
| mdke | Burgundavia, so its not normal for totem to dislike mpeg files? | 02:18 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 02:18 |
| Flonne | Want me to check/set anything when I do it? | 02:18 |
| Burgundavia | totem-gstreamer is mostly borked | 02:18 |
| Burgundavia | Flonne, not really | 02:18 |
| Burgundavia | I am just looking to confirm some errors and usability glitches | 02:18 |
| mdke | mplayer plays it fine | 02:18 |
| mdke | pah | 02:18 |
| Flonne | Do either of you have an amd64 system? | 02:19 |
| Burgundavia | totem-xine is better, but patent encumbered | 02:19 |
| Burgundavia | nope | 02:19 |
| mdke | Flonne, no | 02:19 |
| mdke | hmm when I say fine, I mean without sound | 02:19 |
| Flonne | I can't seem to create a gstreamer object on mine, but that was Preview. | 02:19 |
| Burgundavia | gstreamer is a very nice framework, but the plugins need some work | 02:20 |
| Flonne | Oh, well... Gentoo server goes down; Ubuntu server goes up. | 02:21 |
| Burgundavia | just a sec, going to reboot x | 02:22 |
| === Burgundavia [~corey@24.68.134.11] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| mdke | Burgundavia, solved my totem issue i reckon | 02:28 |
| mdke | there is a mpeg4, ac3, divx plugin | 02:28 |
| Burgundavia | you needed gstreamer plugn | 02:29 |
| mdke | thats what i mean | 02:29 |
| mdke | yeah it's working now | 02:29 |
| mdke | oh no | 02:30 |
| mdke | its playing but it is slow as hell | 02:30 |
| mdke | keeps freezing | 02:30 |
| Burgundavia | dma | 02:30 |
| Burgundavia | sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc | 02:30 |
| mdke | thats not it | 02:30 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 02:30 |
| mdke | plays fine in mplayer | 02:30 |
| Burgundavia | gstreamer used to that | 02:30 |
| mdke | and its much slower than that | 02:30 |
| Burgundavia | before I reinstalled | 02:30 |
| mdke | hmm | 02:32 |
| mdke | lemme install more plugins | 02:33 |
| mdke | ok installing more plugins has improved it, but its still jerky and the sound is rubbish | 02:37 |
| Burgundavia | any rss feeds you recommmend? | 02:39 |
| mdke | hmm | 02:40 |
| mdke | i use bbc world news and the ubuntu wiki new pages lol | 02:40 |
| mdke | actually i wanted to ask about the docteam | 02:40 |
| mdke | are we cracking on with some new guides now? | 02:41 |
| Burgundavia | my major push for hoary is the faqguide | 02:41 |
| Burgundavia | s/hoary/breezy | 02:41 |
| mdke | heh | 02:41 |
| mdke | has it been started? | 02:41 |
| mdke | what other docs are there? | 02:41 |
| Burgundavia | sort of | 02:41 |
| Burgundavia | quickguide | 02:41 |
| Burgundavia | and userguide | 02:41 |
| mdke | userguide sounds interesting | 02:42 |
| mdke | is that "how to set up my email client" stuff? | 02:42 |
| Burgundavia | sort of | 02:44 |
| Burgundavia | userguide and faqguide are going to have to define which is which | 02:44 |
| Burgundavia | that is not clear yet | 02:44 |
| mdke | what else is on? | 02:45 |
| Burgundavia | update quickguide | 02:46 |
| Burgundavia | and the portal | 02:46 |
| mdke | no systemguide or anything? | 02:46 |
| Burgundavia | ah yes | 02:46 |
| Burgundavia | admin guide | 02:46 |
| mdke | ok so lots | 02:47 |
| mdke | when are we starting? | 02:47 |
| Burgundavia | right now | 02:47 |
| mdke | ok | 02:47 |
| Flonne | I've got the Installation draft ready to go (well, as soon as I confirm the steps on an oldworld Mac), so I just need to know where to put it... | 02:50 |
| Burgundavia | wiki for now | 02:51 |
| mdke | Burgundavia, you know if its possible to get rid of this update manager chap in the panel? | 02:56 |
| Burgundavia | the little red circle? | 02:56 |
| mdke | that's the little devil | 02:56 |
| Burgundavia | update your system | 02:58 |
| Burgundavia | it will go away | 02:58 |
| mdke | thats not the point! | 02:58 |
| mdke | it will come back | 02:58 |
| Burgundavia | it is there for a reason | 02:59 |
| Burgundavia | you can | 02:59 |
| Burgundavia | stop the daemon | 02:59 |
| Burgundavia | and kill the cron.daily process | 02:59 |
| mdke | it is there for a reason? | 02:59 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 02:59 |
| mdke | what happened to choice? | 02:59 |
| Burgundavia | to tell people to update there machines | 02:59 |
| Burgundavia | sorry, good default wins out | 02:59 |
| mdke | i'm happy with default | 02:59 |
| mdke | but there is nothing wrong with "remove from panel" | 02:59 |
| Burgundavia | it is not in the panel | 03:00 |
| Burgundavia | it is in the notification area | 03:00 |
| mdke | ok yeah | 03:00 |
| mdke | which is in the panel | 03:00 |
| Burgundavia | you can kill the notif area | 03:00 |
| Burgundavia | but it is a bad idea | 03:00 |
| Flonne | But if you remove that, you lose everything it holds. | 03:01 |
| mdke | especially because then xchat will close | 03:01 |
| Burgundavia | huh? | 03:01 |
| Flonne | I don't think that will close X-Chat... | 03:01 |
| Burgundavia | mdke, it has been proven that users will not update unless forced to | 03:01 |
| Burgundavia | shiny red icons screaming at them do that | 03:01 |
| mdke | i don't dispute that | 03:01 |
| mdke | but i don't want it | 03:01 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 03:01 |
| Burgundavia | 1. kill the daemon | 03:02 |
| Burgundavia | 2. kill the startup that starts the daemon | 03:02 |
| mdke | i don't think asking for that sort of choice is unreasonable | 03:02 |
| Burgundavia | mdke, as an IT professional, this is something that you SHOULD NOT be able to turn off | 03:02 |
| Burgundavia | end of story | 03:02 |
| Burgundavia | sorry | 03:02 |
| mdke | rubbish | 03:02 |
| mdke | i update my other systems | 03:03 |
| mdke | and they don't have it | 03:03 |
| mdke | i agree its a good idea to have it | 03:03 |
| Burgundavia | yes, but we talking the great unwashed | 03:03 |
| Burgundavia | and if you offer the option, people will turn it off | 03:03 |
| mdke | ok | 03:03 |
| Burgundavia | and that is a very very very bad thing | 03:03 |
| mdke | 1. I don't dispute its a good default | 03:03 |
| mdke | 2. unwashed people should be washed | 03:03 |
| Burgundavia | mdke, it can be turned off | 03:03 |
| Burgundavia | it has 2 parts | 03:04 |
| mdke | instead of deodorised | 03:04 |
| Burgundavia | a daemon that checks for updates | 03:04 |
| Burgundavia | and the part that puts the icon there | 03:04 |
| Burgundavia | kill the daemon, and you are set | 03:04 |
| mdke | do you know how i can do that? | 03:05 |
| Burgundavia | let me check | 03:05 |
| mdke | perhaps removing it from my session and saving will be sufficient | 03:06 |
| Burgundavia | might do | 03:07 |
| mdke | yes that seems to have done the trick i think | 03:08 |
| Burgundavia | the notification icon will put up with any update | 03:08 |
| Burgundavia | thus if you reload in syn and it has updates, it will do it then to | 03:08 |
| mdke | yeah | 03:09 |
| mdke | well i guess the user who wants to remove it can always uninstall it :/ | 03:10 |
| Burgundavia | that too | 03:11 |
| Burgundavia | but I insist, there should be no reason to remove it | 03:11 |
| Burgundavia | I keep my machines up to date too | 03:11 |
| Burgundavia | but I still keep the icon | 03:11 |
| mdke | another daemon | 03:11 |
| Burgundavia | if you have a slow macine, then it might be an issue | 03:12 |
| mdke | ok | 03:12 |
| mdke | ok i'm off to bed | 03:13 |
| mdke | good night | 03:13 |
| Burgundavia | cya | 03:15 |
| Flonne | Burgundavia, do you have any idea how to physically move a partition? | 03:20 |
| Burgundavia | move? | 03:20 |
| Burgundavia | gparted will grow and shrink parts | 03:21 |
| Flonne | Yeah. Move every block from one location to another. | 03:21 |
| Burgundavia | hmm | 03:21 |
| Flonne | I know, but it only works on the tail. | 03:21 |
| Burgundavia | it must be possible | 03:21 |
| Flonne | At least the version I have... | 03:21 |
| Flonne | I need to move the head down by about four gigs. | 03:21 |
| Flonne | I could just create a new partition at the end, move all existing data into that, remove the first partition, create a new one four gigs up, move all the data back, restroy the temp partition, then grow the one that's left, but that seems horribly slow and it would be a total hackjob. | 03:23 |
| Flonne | destroy* | 03:23 |
| Burgundavia | I was thinking that might be the only way to do ti | 03:25 |
| Flonne | Ah... It looks like parted can do what I want, but its interface is quite cryptic. | 03:41 |
| Flonne | (gparted seems to lack this... Maybe it's unsafe) | 03:41 |
| Flonne | Bleh. I get a "Can't move a partition onto itself error." | 03:45 |
| Burgundavia | try gparted or qtparted | 03:49 |

| Burgundavia | there is a really crazy of teaching hebrew in Ubuntu | 11:56 |
| sivang | froud: ooops, my unicode is broken at the moment | 11:56 |
| froud | so you dont see the hebrew characters | 11:56 |

| Burgundavia | hmm | 12:25 |
| Burgundavia | bigger than that | 12:25 |
| Burgundavia | Linux fest north west | 12:26 |
| jsgotangco | i got invited to speak to a conference | 12:26 |
| jsgotangco | for Ubuntu | 12:26 |
| Burgundavia | cool | 12:26 |
| jsgotangco | but i have no idea what to present | 12:26 |
| Burgundavia | join the club | 12:26 |
| jsgotangco | what were you planning? | 12:26 |
| jsgotangco | anyway the conference is still in October | 12:26 |
| Burgundavia | my talk is called Ubuntu:Not just a funny name anymore | 12:26 |
| Burgundavia | basically a look at Ubuntu, then and now | 12:26 |
| Burgundavia | the audience is mostly geeks | 12:26 |
| jsgotangco | hmmm | 12:27 |
| Burgundavia | who probably know a lot more than me | 12:27 |
| jsgotangco | can i take a peek at your notes? | 12:27 |
| Burgundavia | hmm | 12:27 |
| Burgundavia | 21 days | 12:27 |
| jsgotangco | its ok | 12:27 |
| jsgotangco | no rush | 12:27 |
| jsgotangco | mines october anyway | 12:27 |
| Burgundavia | I figure I will start writing about the 25th of Apr | 12:27 |
| Burgundavia | there are some good talks already on the wiki | 12:27 |
| jsgotangco | but since its october i was thinking of breezy | 12:28 |
| jsgotangco | so i still have a 6 month headstart | 12:28 |
| Burgundavia | hmm | 12:28 |
| Burgundavia | good plan | 12:28 |
| Burgundavia | when is your talk? | 12:28 |
| jsgotangco | No definite date yet but the organizer said late Sept/early Oct. | 12:28 |
| Burgundavia | just before Breezy launches | 12:28 |
| Burgundavia | good timing | 12:28 |
| jsgotangco | yeah thats what i had in mind | 12:29 |
| jsgotangco | the organizer asked if they could invite someone from canonical say mako, but i asked them if they are willing to shoulder costs on bringing him over | 12:30 |
| Burgundavia | mako is in NYC | 12:30 |
| Burgundavia | better to grab jdub | 12:30 |
| jsgotangco | good idea | 12:30 |
| Burgundavia | because dist aust-->phil is < nyc-->phil | 12:31 |
| jsgotangco | well i heard mako went to shanghai a few months ago for AsiaOSC | 12:31 |
| Burgundavia | mako is canonicals community rep | 12:32 |

| jsgotangco | i was thinking of a good motto for us to think about when doing stuff | 02:37 |
| Burgundavia | stop astroturfing | 02:37 |
| xhosa | yep | 02:37 |
| claude | mdke: Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchatel) | 02:37 |
| jsgotangco | I can only think of one | 02:37 |
| jsgotangco | PUU - People Use Ubuntu | 02:37 |
| jsgotangco | but i want something much better | 02:37 |
| mdke | jsgotangco, just put on eye of the tiger or something | 02:38 |
| Burgundavia | UPYOURS | 02:38 |
| jsgotangco | in spongebob its POOP - People Order Our Patty | 02:38 |
| Burgundavia | Ubuntu People Yes Our Ubuntu Rocks | 02:38 |
| mdke | S | 02:38 |
| jsgotangco | UP YOURS | 02:39 |
| jsgotangco | ? | 02:39 |
| Burgundavia | UPYOURS - Ubuntu People Yes Our Ubuntu Rocks | 02:39 |
| mdke | so what's going on? | 02:40 |
| jsgotangco | but i was thinking of having the end user in mind to remind us | 02:40 |
| mdke | it looks like we're having some kind of meeting ;) | 02:40 |
| xhosa | Hmm, I am considering ditching my SuSE for Kubuntu | 02:41 |
| jsgotangco | how is kubuntu? i gotta try that next week | 02:41 |
| xhosa | jsgotangco: very smooth | 02:42 |
| froud | jsgotangco: definately worth downloading the iso | 02:43 |
| claude | froukde :) | 02:43 |
| jsgotangco | I WILL :D | 02:43 |
| mdke | it cohabits happily with gnome right? | 02:43 |
| jsgotangco | jridell did a good job i heard | 02:44 |
| jsgotangco | i like the 3 dragons | 02:44 |
| jsgotangco | they should keep that | 02:44 |
| froud | yes | 02:44 |
| mdke | yes it cohabits with gnome? | 02:45 |
| froud | but once you use it you will unistall your gnome | 02:45 |
| froud | :-) | 02:45 |
| mdke | so how does it work, I keep using gdm? | 02:45 |
| jsgotangco | i think kdm has much better handling for other de | 02:45 |
| jsgotangco | compared to gdm | 02:45 |
| froud | agreed | 02:46 |
| froud | http://www.kubuntu.org.uk/documentation.php | 02:46 |
| jsgotangco | the the wireless monitor in kde works even with ndiswrapper..it doesnt work with our gnome | 02:47 |
| mdke | ok that's a good document | 02:48 |
| mdke | but no way vis-a-verse is a real word :p | 02:48 |
| mdke | ok i'll try installing it on my laptop | 02:48 |
| jsgotangco | whoa froud you did this by yourself? | 02:49 |
| mdke | is it going to be hard to remove it afterwards? | 02:49 |
| jsgotangco | i dont think so | 02:49 |
| jsgotangco | your gnome settings still are there (mostly) | 02:50 |
| mdke | huh? mostly? | 02:51 |
| jsgotangco | well thats what i experienced in mdk b4 | 02:51 |
| mdke | what did you lose? | 02:51 |
| jsgotangco | not much of an impact but i dont remember specifically but with apt it wont be much of a problem i guess | 02:53 |
| jsgotangco | what does KGX mean? | 02:53 |
| mdke | apt is not great at removing things | 02:53 |
| jsgotangco | oohh charles got married *grin* | 02:56 |
| mdke | yeah | 02:56 |
| jsgotangco | im not that familiar with euro monarchs but camilia looks like that guy from rolling stones | 02:57 |
| mdke | how dare you insult my country | 03:04 |
| mdke | mick jagger is a lot better looking than her | 03:04 |
| claude | lol | 03:05 |
| jsgotangco | hahah | 03:05 |
| jsgotangco | does she become queen when charles becomes king? | 03:06 |
| mdke | i've stopped listening to that part of the news | 03:07 |
| mdke | but i think so | 03:07 |
| jsgotangco | their marriage got in between the pope and rainier's death | 03:07 |
| daven | no, she gets a funny title | 03:14 |
| daven | "Princess Consort" | 03:15 |
| === claude [~claude@236.226.62.81.cust.bluewin.ch] has left #ubuntu-doc ["Leaving"] | ||
| daven | which means she'll never become queen | 03:20 |
| jsgotangco | good thing theyll never have kids | 03:21 |
| daven | i think they're too old | 03:23 |
| daven | gosh - i *hope* they're too old | 03:23 |
| jsgotangco | jeezz i know im going to be old like them but thinking about what theyre going to do later gives me goosebumps | 03:26 |
| froud | nrings new meaning to the phrase "long live the queen" | 03:29 |
| jsgotangco | ahhh children are gods gift indeed | 04:02 |
| === froud nods | ||
| froud | getting close to commiting new make system in branch | 04:03 |
| froud | must do testing tonight | 04:03 |
| froud | then commit | 04:03 |
| froud | hope I dont delete all the files on your hard disks | 04:03 |
| jsgotangco | ok ive been reading thru that link you gave me and learning a lot | 04:04 |
| froud | which svn book | 04:04 |
| froud | it is a must read | 04:04 |
| === froud welcome back enrico | ||
| froud | we missed you buddy | 04:13 |
| enrico | hi! | 04:16 |
| jsgotangco | its been a while | 04:23 |
| === Cturtle [~ubuntu@84.119.197.156] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| jsgotangco | goodnite everyone | 04:45 |
| froud | good night | 04:45 |
| froud | enrico: do you want the english document to be in C? | 05:22 |
| froud | enrico: or is the root of the working folder? | 05:22 |
| enrico | froud: no idea | 05:23 |
| froud | enrico: each i18n document will have its own dir | 05:23 |
| froud | what is easier for packaging? | 05:23 |
| enrico | philosophically, I'd like every language to have its own directory | 05:23 |
| froud | ok we are using the ISO naming convention fr, ca, de etc you want english doc in en | 05:24 |
| enrico | for packaging, I'm doing so many rearranging at deb-build time that I tend to believe anything is fine :) | 05:24 |
| froud | yeah I want to reduce the rearranging | 05:24 |
| froud | cut down on over head | 05:24 |
| enrico | It mainly depends how it'll need to be installed in the resulting system | 05:25 |
| enrico | the bigger problems were the links to ../lib and so on (and I needed to do lots of symlinks) | 05:25 |
| enrico | I don't know if we can foresee what destination will be for Breezy | 05:25 |
| enrico | (although we could assume that it's the same as now | 05:26 |
| enrico | ) | 05:26 |
| froud | I have many libs now | 05:26 |
| enrico | in which case, we have problems anyway in sharing images | 05:26 |
| froud | one for common, one for gnome, one for kde, one for generic | 05:27 |
| froud | menu system is lang specific and auto built | 05:27 |
| enrico | awesome | 05:27 |
| froud | Ok I will leave the en doc in the root of the working folder | 05:28 |
| froud | that way it is easier to find for authors | 05:28 |
| froud | and denotes that it is the driver for all else | 05:28 |
| froud | btw, OMF files are also created dynamic on first instance | 05:29 |
| froud | I think we should keep OMF files with their documents | 05:29 |
| froud | last time we forgot to translate them | 05:29 |
| froud | we had to rush it at the last second | 05:30 |
| enrico | in that case, call it C | 05:30 |
| enrico | yes, exactly. OMF files should not be separate | 05:30 |
| froud | OK C it will be | 05:31 |
| froud | if I make the dir it saves you having to make it, right? | 05:32 |
| enrico | froud: say it again? | 05:33 |
| enrico | ah, ok | 05:34 |
| froud | if we develop the english document is C it saves you having to make it | 05:34 |
| enrico | y..yess | 05:34 |
| froud | In build I will create gnome/docuname/C/ | 05:34 |
| froud | gnome/docuname/fr/ | 05:35 |
| froud | gnome/docuname/de/ | 05:35 |
| froud | etc | 05:35 |
| enrico | yes | 05:35 |
| froud | ok cool, so glad you are back :-) | 05:35 |
| enrico | Limited time, though | 05:35 |
| froud | huh why? | 05:35 |
| enrico | now I'm in a bit of information overload. | 05:35 |
| enrico | also | 05:35 |
| enrico | full time job getting more and more full time | 05:36 |
| froud | ouch I think I better learn the deb packaging stuff, sooner than later. Must find time though | 05:36 |
| froud | first get the new restructure over | 05:36 |
| enrico | froud: you do already a lot with the docbook stuff :) | 05:36 |
| froud | practically making everything automatic | 05:37 |
| froud | only one problem | 05:37 |
| froud | cant make a single document | 05:37 |
| froud | have to build all gnome | 05:37 |
| froud | or kde | 05:37 |
| froud | or generic | 05:37 |
| froud | :-( | 05:37 |
| froud | must find method | 05:38 |
| enrico | how come? | 05:38 |
| froud | each do now will have a file called modvars.make | 05:39 |
| froud | looks like this | 05:39 |
| froud | BUILD_FILE=/index.html | 05:39 |
| froud | HTML_XSL=../libs/about-ubuntu-html-cust.xsl | 05:39 |
| froud | FIG_DIR=../images | 05:39 |
| froud | DOC_NAME=about-ubuntu | 05:39 |
| froud | LANG=C | 05:39 |
| froud | OMF_FILE=$DOC_NAME-$LANG.omf | 05:39 |
| froud | SUBJECT="General|Linux|Distributions|Other" | 05:39 |
| froud | IDENTIFIER=file:///usr/share/gnome/help/$DOC_NAME/$LANG/$DOC_NAME.xml | 05:39 |
| froud | SERIES_ID=7fb11226-8a1d-11d9-9fcf-ff970c259736 | 05:39 |
| froud | it gets sourced from the top make | 05:39 |
| froud | the code that does the work is generic | 05:39 |
| froud | so it can be applied to generic, kde and gnome | 05:40 |
| froud | I just need to find a way of passing a single module to the code | 05:40 |
| enrico | I can't look at it now (brain exploding), but a general suggestion: don't overdesign | 05:41 |
| mdke | lol | 05:41 |
| froud | sure, can be a problem | 05:41 |
| === mdke hands enrico a cold towel | ||
| froud | what you loling at mdke | 05:42 |
| mdke | poor enrico | 05:42 |
| froud | you can lol when you come to kde | 05:42 |
| mdke | i'm just logging in now | 05:42 |
| mdke | laughing out loud at the time its taking to login | 05:42 |
| mdke | omg | 05:42 |
| mdke | and also lol @ login sound | 05:42 |
| froud | cool | 05:42 |
| enrico | froud: also look at http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?YouArentGonnaNeedIt | 05:42 |
| froud | everything I now impliment is from the experience with hoary | 05:43 |
| enrico | froud: that's always a good read :) | 05:44 |
| froud | we had to mant things to touch in the make and packaging for my liking | 05:44 |
| === mkde [~matt@81-179-193-192.dsl.pipex.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| enrico | but that's not an opinion on what you're doing: I trust what you do | 05:44 |
| froud | sure | 05:44 |
| froud | there are howver things poping in between my ears, but we have not needed them, yet | 05:44 |
| === mkde looks around | ||
| froud | mdke run KControl dude | 05:45 |
| froud | and see the power | 05:45 |
| mkde | lol | 05:45 |
| mkde | i'm familiar with kde | 05:45 |
| enrico | froud: :) yes, when something's not needed, it's useful to postpone it | 05:45 |
| enrico | or to not thing about it | 05:45 |
| enrico | because when it'll be needed, it'll be needed in a different way you are thinking of coding it today :) | 05:46 |
| froud | enrico: you know me I am lazy as hell | 05:46 |
| froud | script everything, that's the way to get out of work and go to the beach | 05:46 |
| === froud wonders how to script and author | ||
| enrico | then at the beach you get a mobile phone ring saying that the script broke :) | 05:46 |
| mdke | argh | 05:47 |
| mdke | kde has inserted a wastebin on my gnome desktop | 05:47 |
| === mdke slaps kde | ||
| enrico | (that's why you never should go to the beach with the mobile phone. Bullshit that it's because of the sand :) | 05:47 |
| froud | lol | 05:47 |
| froud | gnome should have a wastebin on the desktop. Its a design flaw of gnome, not KDE | 05:48 |
| mdke | *cough* | 05:48 |
| froud | hey I got scripts to write | 05:48 |
| mdke | its a bug in ubuntu | 05:48 |
| froud | yes, not Kubuntu | 05:49 |
| froud | c ya | 05:49 |
| mdke | froud, i do not distinguish | 05:49 |
| froud | back to scripts | 05:49 |
| mdke | k | 05:49 |
| froud | enrico: can I call a make target from within a make target | 05:50 |
| froud | 1: | 05:51 |
| froud | ..... | 05:51 |
| froud | make 2: | 05:51 |
| enrico | sure | 05:51 |
| froud | OK | 05:51 |
| enrico | $(MAKE) 2 is better, I think | 05:51 |
| froud | enrico: like this | 05:56 |
| froud | all: gnome kde generic | 05:56 |
| froud | gnome: | 05:56 |
| froud | 05:56 | |
| froud | DIR = `ls -d gnome/` | 05:56 |
| froud | SUB_DIR = `ls -d $DIR*/` | 05:56 |
| froud | BUILD_DIR = $(BUILDBASE)/$(DIR) | 05:56 |
| froud | make build | 05:56 |
| froud | kde: | 05:56 |
| froud | DIR = `ls -d kde/` | 05:56 |
| froud | SUB_DIR = `ls -d $DIR*/` | 05:56 |
| froud | BUILD_DIR = $(BUILDBASE)/$(DIR) | 05:57 |
| froud | make build | 05:57 |
| froud | generic: | 05:57 |
| froud | DIR = `ls -d generic/` | 05:57 |
| froud | SUB_DIR = `ls -d $DIR*/` | 05:57 |
| froud | BUILD_DIR = $(BUILDBASE)/$(DIR) | 05:57 |
| froud | make build | 05:57 |
| froud | build: | 05:57 |
| enrico | I think it should work | 05:58 |
| froud | OK where build is the same object code for each make target | 05:59 |
| froud | and build loads modvars.make from each document in for loop | 05:59 |
| mdke | does anyone here know how to call ssh commands with a particular key? I haven't had an answer in #ubuntu so am trying here in desperation | 06:04 |
| enrico | froud: actually, you should do it differently | 06:06 |
| enrico | you rename modvars.make in Makefile | 06:07 |
| froud | ok | 06:07 |
| enrico | then include a makefile snipped with the common stuff | 06:07 |
| enrico | then make the makefile in the upper dir invoke the makefiles in the lower sones | 06:07 |
| froud | but then I have multiple make files | 06:08 |
| enrico | then if you want to only build or validate something, you cd into something ad do "make" | 06:08 |
| enrico | sure | 06:08 |
| froud | each needing attention | 06:08 |
| enrico | every project has a makefile per directory | 06:08 |
| enrico | not much attention, because they all define a bunch of vars (like your modvars.make do) then include THE makefile stuff | 06:08 |
| enrico | from one single point | 06:08 |
| froud | but for example about ubuntu uses a different XSL | 06:09 |
| enrico | then you define the XSL name in the Makefile of about-ubuntu | 06:09 |
| enrico | all the others use a default XSL file | 06:09 |
| froud | Hmmm, ok must think about it. I can always split what I am doing now to work that way | 06:10 |
| enrico | make does all the things of fixing paths to point to .., ../.. or whatever depending on the level of nesting (IIRC) | 06:10 |
| froud | Ok what I will do is hack this way and then commit. that way more eyes can see it. | 06:11 |
| froud | foood, grub, nosh time | 06:11 |
| froud | back in a few minutes | 06:12 |

| froud | scorpix: hello | 07:28 |
| scorpix | what program is good for translating the ubuntuguide.org? | 07:29 |
| froud | we have ubuntuguide.org in svn and use pot/po via Rosetta | 07:30 |
| froud | There is not easy way to do it via the web site | 07:30 |
| froud | if you like you can hack the src and update it to hoary | 07:30 |
| froud | the doc is currently at warty | 07:30 |
| scorpix | is there a guide or a howto on using rosseta with svn? | 07:30 |
| scorpix | cuz i usually use kbabel | 07:31 |
| froud | not exactly, we have docbook xml src of that doc in svn and make a POT file when it need translation | 07:31 |
| scorpix | where can i get rosetta? | 07:32 |
| froud | scorpix: Rosetta is a web app | 07:37 |
| froud | you get the pot from there | 07:37 |
| froud | but if you have svn src you can also just create a pot and do the po you want | 07:38 |
| froud | using KBabel | 07:38 |
| froud | but be warned that that doc is currently updated to warty so is out of date | 07:38 |
| froud | do you want to translate the hoaryy version? | 07:39 |
| froud | or the current version | 07:39 |
| scorpix | back | 07:54 |
| scorpix | yes i want to translate the hoary version | 07:54 |
