mptBurgundavia: Ok, suggest some unauthenticated crack I should isntall to see this authentication alert (I assume that's the alert you're talking about)02:05
Burgundavianot that one02:05
mptok, how do I get it02:05
Burgundaviathe settings--repo-->authentication one02:05
Burgundaviathe first one is also too verbose02:06
mptI don't even understand what that dialog is for02:09
mptthough I do know that I can open five copies of it at once, which shouldn't be possible.02:10
BurgundaviaI can't on breezy02:11
Burgundaviampt, did you see what I wanted to change the string at the top too?02:12
mptYes, I did, but I still don't understand what the dialog is for.02:13
mpt*How* does it help me check software integrity?02:14
mptWhat happens if the software isn't integr... um, good?02:14
Burgundaviaverifies that what you have downloaded is from a trusted source02:14
Burgundaviaand hasn't been modified between the trusted source and you02:15
mptSo how does one acquire such keys?02:20
mptI guess the keys for the Hoary repositories were supplied on the Hoary CD02:20
mptbut how would I get one when adding another repository?02:21
Burgundaviayou need to add them manually :(02:23
mptSo you'd find them on a Web page or something?02:26
Burgundaviayou find them with the repo02:26
mpt"with"?02:26
mptWhere would you find a repository?02:26
Burgundaviaon the webpage that lists the repo02:26
Burgundaviabasically, there is no reason why a user would need to add anything but the backports repo02:26
mptok.02:28
mptResults of baz undo -n:02:29
mptThese files would be source but lack inventory ids (`baz add' perhaps?):02:29
mptdatabase/schema/patch-14-09-0.sql02:29
mptThese explicit ids have no corresponding file:02:29
mptdatabase/schema/archive/.arch-ids/patch-14-09-0.sql.id02:29
mptwhoops, wrong channel02:30
Burgundaviaok then, was wondering what happened02:30
mptheh02:32
mptbut you can't add a repository other than the three in the menu anyway!02:43
mptso why does that dialog exist?02:44
Burgundaviasay again?02:44
mptWhen I click "Add", I get a dialog containing an option menu with only three choices02:46
mptUbuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog", Ubuntu 5.04 Security Updates, and Ubuntu 5.04 Updates.02:47
=== mpt wishes Synaptic dialogs wouldn't keep disappearing every time he switches to another window
mptSo I can't add any other repositories.02:47
mptBurgundavia: I was going to suggest: "If you use other repositories, you should add their public keys here, so Synaptic can ensure software it downloads from them hasn't been tampered with."02:51
mptBut if you can't add other repositories in the first place, there's not much point :-)02:51
mptyay, and now a few of the disappearing windows are behind all my other windows and won't come to the front, the Repositories dialog refuses to close02:54
Burgundaviampt, you can, but you shouldn't03:00
Burgundaviayou can also add custom03:01
Burgundaviabascially, that dialog needs to be reworked03:01
mptOh, I didn't see that, because "Custom" didn't end in "..."03:01
Burgundaviayes03:02

Burgundaviabut the former was not a car that somebody owned11:15
BeerDumpsome of the bus here are natural gas i think they are going to mandate it11:16
Burgundaviabasically, there are some non gas/diesel, but they are very very few11:16

mkdejiyuu0, sorry i got the link wrong. its http://launchpad.ubuntu.com/rosetta03:49
mkdejiyuu0, its possible that the people currently translating the guide are using .pot files already03:50
mkdejiyuu0, do you think its worth testing?03:50
jiyuu0nope... cause i ask em to follow the guide's format03:50
jiyuu0mkde, i would but don't think have extra time to burn03:51
mkdejiyuu0, the format would be maintained03:51
jiyuu0that's why... maybe could test now... and decide whether should port for the next ubuntu guide03:51

froudboy linuxworld was busy today08:27
jjessewell had to restart my router for some reason08:27

froudyo08:28
mdkei'm struggling with trying to get html converted to .pot08:28
froudok08:28
mdkehave used 4 different converters without success so far08:28
froudok :-)08:28
froudwhat html ar eyou converting08:29
mdkeis it correct that an xhtml compliant html document should be converted with xml2pot?08:29
jjessethe html in the wiki right mdke?08:29
froudno08:29
mdkefroud, the unofficial ubuntu quickguide08:29
mdkefroud, damn, seb128 and sladen told me it would work08:29
froudthats xhtml08:29
froudis it strict or transitional xhtml08:29
mdkefroud, good question08:30
mdkelemme check08:30
mdketransitional08:30
froudgood luck then :-) it will be a bitch08:30
mdkeshit08:30
froudwhy do you want a pot of that08:31
mdkewas thinking of trying to get it translated via rosetta rather than by hand08:31
mdkeyou'll see the thread on the ML08:31
froudyeah would be nice08:31
mdkeis there a transitional->strict converter tool?08:31
froudtired have not touch my mail yet08:31
froudno08:31
mdkefroud, btw there is a html2pot script written from the xml2pot tool, but it didn't work, i've mailed the maintainer08:32
froudyou may try to run tidy on it first08:32
froudthen validate the result agianst the strict dtd08:32
froudthen fix all problems08:32
froudyes I know html2pot08:32
mdkethe html2pot script had a problem with "duplicate message definition"08:33
mdkehttp://pastebin.ca/1205608:33
mdkeotherwise it was running fine for about 30 seconds08:33
froud:-) invalid against the dtd, the file violaits the rules08:34
froudsort the violations08:34
mdkeright, that is because it is transitional?08:34
froudand then it should run08:34
froudhard to say, transitional is very lax08:35
froudyour best bet is to get it to strict 08:35
mdkehmm08:35
mdkei guess that will be hard huh?08:35
froudthen the doc is valid and wellformed against the strict dtd so it is xml08:35
froudit's not an easy process, carries overhead08:36
froudHmmm I see people playing with all sorts of stuff08:36
froudwell I guess they will just have to try it and learn08:36
mdkewhat about?08:36
froudnot being funny now, but the problems are not new08:36
mdkewhat is it you're talking about?08:37
froudmany people, have trie dto solve these problems and none have suceded08:37
mdkeyou mean the html2pot problems?08:37
froudthe best you can hope for is a partial transformation08:37
froudthen the restyou must do by hand08:37
froudyes08:37
=== mdke nods
froudand the wiki to xml08:38
mdkeah i'm not involved in that08:38
froudmdke: people dont know but the docbook devel comminity is large08:38
mdkei just thought it would be cool to use rosetta for the ubuntuguide08:38
mdkefroud, ok08:38
froudthere are many industry experts in that devel team08:38
froudif they dont have solutions, why do we think we can suddenly make them08:39
mdkefroud, hey listen, i don't think anything, i was just experimenting to see if it was possible, that's all08:39
froudthat is why I say let them try and then learn08:39
froudsure08:39
froudnot being personal 08:39
mdkehmm08:39
mdkeif you think jeff is on a wild goose chase I think you should perhaps say so08:40
froudubuntuguide needs to be done in svn08:40
mdkefroud, that would be cool08:40
mdkefroud, but as you say, it needs to be ported by hand08:40
froudbut the owner has not commit to working in svn and the src is still closed to us08:40
froudwe have the warty version in svn08:40
froudwe ported it by hand08:41
mdkefroud, i'll speak to him again, but we can't force people to do stuff08:41
froudit would be nice if somebody would update it to hoary08:41
froudno we cant08:41
froudhowever08:41
froudas I see it08:41
froudif the person does not open the code for easy collaboration, then why would I put energy into helping08:42
mdkeok08:42
froudit is admirable that people are actually trying to create a solution on a doc that is not open source08:42
mdkefroud, depends how you define open source ;)08:43
froudsays much for the open source community08:43
=== mdke clicks View -> View Source
mdkeas i say, it would be nice if he would work with us, but we can't force him08:43
froudsure, you can see it but you cant change it on ubuntuguide.org08:44
froudpracticallyevery web site in the world can be seen in src08:44
mdkequite08:44
froudbut that does not make it FOSS08:44
mdkei know08:44
froudhis use of the license is also wrong08:45
mdkewe can only tell him08:45
froudmdke: corey did a very good of of doing that08:46
froudwe even got him to checkout the svn stuff08:46
froudanyway, I am dead beat and now off to bed08:46
