jsgotangco | hello | 03:57 |
---|---|---|
Burgundavia | salut | 03:57 |
jsgotangco | wow templates! | 03:59 |
jsgotangco | (at last) | 03:59 |
jsgotangco | Burgundavia, do you know how to apply a diff patch? | 04:05 |
Burgundavia | hmm, no idea | 04:08 |
Burgundavia | someone else will pick it up | 04:08 |
jsgotangco | well i want to pick it up | 04:09 |
jsgotangco | (to learn) | 04:09 |
Burgundavia | ask froud | 04:09 |
Burgundavia | or jeffsch | 04:09 |
Burgundavia | I have mostly been doing UI stuff recently | 04:09 |
jsgotangco | ahh svn merge | 04:12 |
_froud_ | jsgotangco: why do you send a diff, why not just do the commit yourself? | 07:42 |
=== _froud_ is now known as froud | ||
jsgotangco | i did not send the diff | 07:42 |
jsgotangco | :P | 07:42 |
froud | ooops | 07:42 |
jsgotangco | jjesse did | 07:42 |
jsgotangco | i dont know how to patch | 07:42 |
jsgotangco | thats why i havent committed it | 07:42 |
froud | ok, you want to try it | 07:43 |
jsgotangco | i do | 07:43 |
jsgotangco | is that merge in esvn? | 07:43 |
froud | no no | 07:43 |
froud | lemme check the patch first gimme a sec | 07:43 |
froud | ok save the diff file in to the kwick guide folder | 07:44 |
jsgotangco | ok | 07:45 |
froud | then do patch -p0 kquickguide.xml kquickguide.diff | 07:46 |
jsgotangco | well ok thats only a patch command i was thinking esvn | 07:47 |
froud | :-) esvn does not have atool for that | 07:47 |
froud | it's good not that good | 07:48 |
jsgotangco | ahh so patch is still just plain patch | 07:48 |
froud | yeah | 07:48 |
froud | I can speak to the devels at eSvn and ask them for a util to apply a patch | 07:48 |
jsgotangco | how will you know if the patch is no good? | 07:48 |
froud | you should check it | 07:48 |
froud | then apply it | 07:49 |
froud | if you are happy you just apply it. otherwise apply it and then fix | 07:49 |
froud | remember you can always see the diff since you can do a quick diff | 07:49 |
jsgotangco | o right | 07:50 |
froud | most time I commit the patch so that it is recorded | 07:50 |
froud | then I fix and submit another patch | 07:50 |
froud | unless of course the patch has too many mistakes | 07:50 |
jsgotangco | well the patch in this case is pretty trivial i dunno why he sent it hehe but then its a contribution | 07:51 |
froud | but if they are small ones and the patch as a whole is good, then it does not hurt | 07:51 |
froud | every patch is important | 07:51 |
froud | no matter how small :-) | 07:51 |
jsgotangco | ill take your word for it | 07:52 |
froud | sure, as you say, "its a contribution" | 07:52 |
froud | I like to call them gifts | 07:52 |
froud | nice one | 07:56 |
froud | now send a message to the list saying you have applied it, not everyone is on the commit list | 07:56 |
jsgotangco | oh right | 07:56 |
jsgotangco | thank you o mentor | 07:56 |
froud | btw. kwickguide is looking good dude thanks for that | 07:57 |
jsgotangco | oh i could have been done with it if not for this oracle project | 07:58 |
froud | that's the way it goes. How's is the oracle ting doing | 07:58 |
=== froud does pretty print to make xml neat | ||
jsgotangco | well im trying out a new methodology called Rapid Start for E-Business Suite | 08:00 |
froud | on 10g | 08:00 |
jsgotangco | yeah | 08:00 |
froud | wow' | 08:00 |
froud | I saw guys form oracle install and fine tune 10g in 18 minutes | 08:00 |
jsgotangco | but im thinking of convincing the developers to testing it in Ubuntu instead of forcing clients to use old Red Hat 9 | 08:00 |
froud | can they install on a deb based system? | 08:01 |
jsgotangco | well i can do that as a project | 08:01 |
jsgotangco | (you never know) | 08:01 |
jsgotangco | but then | 08:01 |
jsgotangco | oracle's a big company | 08:01 |
jsgotangco | (but its a good opportunity perhaps) | 08:02 |
froud | sure | 08:02 |
froud | So now you need screencaptures for quickguide, right? | 08:03 |
jsgotangco | yeah ill cover it probably this weekend | 08:03 |
froud | if you want help on it, send a message to the list | 08:03 |
froud | do some adertising | 08:03 |
jsgotangco | what's incoming for? | 08:04 |
froud | oh, that's for the stuff that will come from wiki into svn | 08:04 |
froud | before we know where or what to do with it | 08:04 |
froud | we will put it there | 08:04 |
jsgotangco | i saw some of your committed stuff had biblio tags already | 08:04 |
froud | which the install guide? | 08:05 |
jsgotangco | i think so | 08:05 |
froud | yeah it also have glossterms | 08:05 |
jsgotangco | i think i need to make a progress chart for some docs i adopted | 08:05 |
jsgotangco | my day is getting messier lately | 08:05 |
froud | but to use it you need to install computerdictionary-xx.deb | 08:05 |
=== jsgotangco curses broken imendio planner | ||
jsgotangco | does Ubuntu have a marketing team? | 08:06 |
jsgotangco | (community based) | 08:06 |
froud | not really community based | 08:07 |
jsgotangco | well yeah, silbs for example | 08:07 |
froud | some people at Canonical like mako do this stuff | 08:07 |
jsgotangco | hmm | 08:07 |
froud | yes and jane | 08:07 |
jsgotangco | because i was looking at the OOo site | 08:07 |
jsgotangco | their marketing team (community and sun) is huge | 08:07 |
froud | yes | 08:08 |
jsgotangco | (its because of this todo thing i have regarding flyer for ubuntu conferences) | 08:09 |
jsgotangco | (we're not supposed to do flyers) | 08:09 |
froud | oh really, why? | 08:09 |
jsgotangco | well it means we still have to think of bling bling stuff to write about at the same time create the flyer | 08:11 |
jsgotangco | (not that its hard to do) | 08:11 |
jsgotangco | (but then OOo marketing stuff was createdby community so..) | 08:11 |
froud | Well there should be no real reason why people in the community can't do marketing stuff | 08:12 |
jsgotangco | yeah maybe i should propose one | 08:12 |
froud | sometimes people forget that this is not about mark or canonical, its about what the community wants to do | 08:12 |
froud | if the above mentioned want to succeed then they must embrace what they community wants | 08:13 |
froud | so far they are doing a fair job | 08:13 |
froud | not easy, when you consider the millions of ideas and thoughts | 08:13 |
jsgotangco | true and we're just a drop in the OS space at the moment | 08:14 |
jsgotangco | (collabnet sure does look sweet on the ooo site though) | 08:14 |
froud | but if you have ideas for marketing I am certain silbs will be interested | 08:14 |
froud | I have an ubuntu poster that I can contribute | 08:14 |
jsgotangco | can i take a look? | 08:14 |
froud | Big file | 08:15 |
froud | I will commit an inkscape version sometime today | 08:15 |
froud | I need to port it from freehand | 08:15 |
jsgotangco | ahhh ok | 08:16 |
froud | Ok I also have the basics for a Kubuntu poster | 08:16 |
jsgotangco | you did it yourself? | 08:16 |
froud | Yes | 08:16 |
froud | The posters are sized 60cm X 90 cm | 08:17 |
jsgotangco | im doing something in inkscape in A4 but its quite empty yet | 08:17 |
froud | create a folder in trunk called artwork | 08:17 |
froud | lets commit our ideas to there | 08:17 |
jsgotangco | good idea | 08:17 |
froud | you know how to create directories and do recursive add right? | 08:18 |
jsgotangco | yeah | 08:18 |
froud | OK, the problem with inkscape is that it does not do a good export | 08:18 |
jsgotangco | hmm | 08:19 |
jsgotangco | wait | 08:19 |
jsgotangco | you're telling me that we're exporting inkscape to xml | 08:19 |
jsgotangco | not native inkscape | 08:19 |
froud | so the method I use is to export the image at 600 dpi | 08:19 |
Burgundavia | svg is already xml | 08:19 |
froud | non o | 08:19 |
Burgundavia | once you have the svg, you can do what you wish with it | 08:19 |
froud | OK from svg you need a format for printing | 08:19 |
jsgotangco | i know its xml i though we're exporting it to another format | 08:19 |
froud | so i export to png at 600 dpi | 08:20 |
froud | then open gimp | 08:20 |
froud | flatten the image | 08:20 |
froud | save | 08:20 |
froud | many printers can't use png files | 08:20 |
froud | so I use gimp to export to tiff and jpeg | 08:21 |
froud | give the printer all three file | 08:21 |
froud | I recently printed some posters on a 1200 dpi plaotter | 08:21 |
froud | plotter | 08:21 |
froud | the file was at 1200 dpi | 08:22 |
jsgotangco | you do have some neat toys | 08:22 |
froud | the images are great, cystal sharp | 08:22 |
froud | its my job to have these toys | 08:22 |
froud | do what you love, love what you do | 08:22 |
jsgotangco | (ok i forgot you are in the documentation business) | 08:22 |
froud | all the images on my web site are made in inkscape | 08:23 |
froud | I was speaking lats wee with the editor of tectronic the FOSS magazine here in CO.ZA | 08:23 |
froud | They are really looking to use a FOSS tool chain to do their magazine | 08:24 |
froud | but the tool chain is not up to it just yet | 08:24 |
froud | so they have to use closed source apps | 08:24 |
froud | doing postscript on Linux is a bitch | 08:24 |
froud | its then that you wish you were using Mac OSX | 08:25 |
froud | if you go to print, make sure that your printer can open large files | 08:26 |
froud | at 1200 dpi a poster 90 x 60 cm was 3GB | 08:26 |
jsgotangco | jeez | 08:27 |
froud | yeah, obviously it is smaller with 600dpi | 08:27 |
froud | but you need to watch out | 08:27 |
froud | lower dpi results in blurred edges on curves | 08:28 |
froud | 600 should be enough | 08:28 |
=== jsgotangco creates proof of concepts first | ||
froud | if not up to 1200 | 08:28 |
jsgotangco | but is it possible to change that in inkscape in the middle of work? | 08:28 |
froud | yes, it scales well b'cause it is svg | 08:28 |
froud | you can start work at A4 and scale later | 08:29 |
jsgotangco | yes that would be nice | 08:29 |
froud | remember toleave some bleed on the page | 08:29 |
froud | for example | 08:29 |
froud | ifyou what full color on the page, no white border | 08:29 |
froud | make the background larger than the page size | 08:30 |
froud | they will print in oversized A3 paper and cut it to A3 | 08:30 |
froud | same with other sizes | 08:30 |
jsgotangco | yes yes, i've seen some raw prints and they overlapt | 08:30 |
froud | yes, so long as you have bleed you will have a full color background | 08:31 |
froud | of course if you print on a plotter you will have no choice but to accept a white border about 3cm all around | 08:31 |
froud | but that's ok the poster still looks coll | 08:32 |
froud | cool | 08:32 |
jsgotangco | plotters rely on cmyk as well right? | 08:33 |
froud | yes, but png is rgb | 08:33 |
froud | I used rbg, the result was not exactly the color tones I wanted, but it was close enough | 08:34 |
froud | btw for the most part the svg is easily imported to freehand and illustrator | 08:34 |
froud | on complex images some lines come in all borked | 08:35 |
froud | but simple lines work well | 08:35 |
froud | the problem seemed to be with gradients | 08:35 |
froud | if you use gradients make sure you also get a high dpi, otherwise some printers give you big steps | 08:36 |
jsgotangco | i dont get it what did gradients have to do with complex lines | 08:36 |
jsgotangco | the gradients are supposed to be printed on large presses | 08:36 |
jsgotangco | not simple plotters | 08:36 |
froud | Complex lines seem to go borked, but simple lines like a circle with gradient also have problems | 08:37 |
froud | that is why I just exported a png at 1200 dpi and then used gimp | 08:37 |
froud | at first I was going to import the svg into freehand | 08:37 |
froud | that is when I found the problem | 08:38 |
froud | I guess the standards are not yet there to support seemless interchange | 08:38 |
froud | but once svg is stable, it will make an excellent interchange format | 08:38 |
froud | hey I must go. gotto take daughters to school and then I have a meeting, new customer :-) | 08:39 |
jsgotangco | wow | 08:39 |
jsgotangco | ok | 08:39 |
froud | will commit my posters later | 08:39 |
jsgotangco | the money pot just keeps on pouring | 08:39 |
froud | hard work though | 08:39 |
jsgotangco | its always like that | 08:39 |
jsgotangco | nothing ventured nothing gained | 08:40 |
jsgotangco | heh | 08:40 |
froud | gotto keep the work rolling for all these writers I am now employing | 08:40 |

Burgundavia | yes | 12:08 |
mdke | yeah | 12:09 |
jsgotangco | i look at my clock and it says 10:09 but outside i see stars | 12:09 |
jsgotangco | heh | 12:09 |
mdke | system -> admin -> time and date ;) | 12:09 |

froud | hey dudes | 08:24 |
froud | anyone had problems configuring wlan | 08:24 |
mdke | froud, yes sometimes | 08:28 |
froud | I have card initialized | 08:28 |
froud | so i c it with iwconfig | 08:28 |
froud | when I down eth0 which is LAN | 08:29 |
froud | I can ping my gateway | 08:29 |
froud | via eth1 (which is wlan) | 08:29 |
mdke | ok | 08:29 |
froud | but I cannot seem to get http working | 08:29 |
mdke | are you getting the ip via dhcp? | 08:29 |
froud | in /etc/network/interfaces | 08:30 |
froud | no static | 08:30 |
mdke | have you set up the nameservers? | 08:30 |
mdke | can you ping 216.239.57.99 ? | 08:30 |
froud | yes /etc/resolov.conf has three | 08:31 |
froud | yes /etc/resolv.conf has three | 08:31 |
froud | no I cant ping past my gateway | 08:31 |
mdke | how odd | 08:31 |
froud | but in /etc/networ/interfaces | 08:32 |
mdke | have you tried taking your eth0 down before taking eth1 up? | 08:32 |
froud | but in /etc/networt/interfaces | 08:32 |
froud | I see that eth1 only has address and netmask defined | 08:32 |
froud | yes eth0 was down | 08:32 |
mdke | hmm | 08:33 |
froud | shouldn't each iface have 'address' 'netmask' 'network' 'broadcast' values | 08:33 |
mdke | lemme check | 08:34 |
mdke | i just have address, netmask, gateway, wireless-essid | 08:34 |
froud | in interfaces? | 08:35 |
mdke | yeah | 08:35 |
froud | ok lemme try add it with vi | 08:35 |
froud | ok that works | 08:37 |
froud | seems there is a bug in knetworkconf_module | 08:37 |
mdke | what was missing? | 08:37 |
froud | must speak to kubuntu-devel thanks | 08:37 |
froud | when the wlan card is defined in interfaces | 08:37 |
froud | it is missing everything except | 08:38 |
