jsgotangcoBurglaptop, did you see ShaunM's email requesting for contributors on the gnome user guide?07:28
Burglaptopyes07:29
BurglaptopI have a quick tour diff07:29
Madpilotthat getting close to finished?07:29
jsgotangcowhat happened to your account07:29

BurglaptopMadpilot, working on it07:30
Madpilotscreenshots yet?07:30
Burglaptopno07:30
Burglaptopgoing to shot after the preview install07:30
jsgotangcojbailey said he might request mdz to drop the freeze but we're not too optimistic about it07:31
Burglaptopwhich freeze?07:31
jsgotangcodoc07:31
Burglaptopthe string one?07:31
jsgotangcoyes07:32
Burglaptopjsgotangco, sent. Note that the diff is against just quicktour.html07:35

jsgotangcodone07:40
Burglaptopthanks07:41
Burglaptopoh, and check it out, I need some feedbackl07:41
jsgotangcolooking at it now07:41
Madpilot"is released", not "is releases" - 3rd bullet point!07:43
Madpilotwhy no link to gnome-look.org? it's much better organized that art.gnome...07:43
Burglaptopummm07:44
Burglaptopart.gnome is a much nicer site and ties in with gnome-art07:44
Madpilotheh... and gnome-look seems to be down again anyway... I still think it's got the better interface of the two07:47
mptAnyone here on Hoary?07:47
Madpilotme07:47
mptMadpilot: What does "cat /etc/issue" return for you?07:48
jsgotangcognome-look is a complete ripoff of kde-look07:48
Madpilot"Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog" \n \l"07:48
mptthanks Madpilot07:48
Madpilotcomplete with those \n \l bits that look like errors - what are they?07:49
mpt\n is a new line for some reason07:49
mptI don't know what \l is07:49
mpt(linefeed?)07:49
Madpilotthere is a blank line below that text, before I get my prompt back...07:49
mptyeah, I think that's accidental07:50
Madpilotwhat is /etc/issue supposed to be, anyway?07:50
Burglaptopyour current distro version07:50
Madpilotobvously... :)07:51
Madpilotjsgotangco: gnome-look.org & kde-look are run by the same folks - ping gnome-look.org and the results come back from kde-look.org...07:52
Burglaptopart.gnome.org runs rubyonrails07:52
Burglaptopif you run breezy, there is an app called gnome-art that pulls out of the art.gnome.org07:52
Madpilotah, that's cool07:53
Burglaptopit is built on ruby, which we don't ship by default, otherwise we would probably ship it by defau't07:53
mptok, next job is to get the total amount of physical memory07:54
Madpilotmpt: "free"?07:55

Burglaptopmpt, why do you want aboutubuntu to have this info07:58
Burglaptop?07:58
Madpilotnot sure what you mean?07:58
mptBurglaptop: Because it's basic information about the computer07:59
mptAmount of memory, processor speed, and a button taking you to the Device Manager08:00
Burglaptopmpt, is this for reporting>08:00
Burglaptopah08:00
mptfwiw, Windows and OS X both have this in their About boxes08:00
Burglaptopyou mean the device database?08:00
mptno, System > Administration > Device Manager08:01
Burglaptopok08:01
MadpilotBurglaptop: no, if you pull up the "About Windows" bumpf it includes some mem/CPU info08:01
Burglaptopya08:01
Burglaptopand the device manager has a link to the device database, so all is not lost08:01
jsgotangcoHAL device manager?08:02
Burglaptopjsgotangco, yes08:02
Burglaptopit drops the HAL part for Breezy08:02

Burglaptopanybody got any idea how I would search the entire archive for any 0ubuntu* packages?08:31
BurglaptopI want to figure out how much Ubuntu is ahead fo Debina08:31
Burglaptopand if it grew in the Breezy cycle08:31
Madpilotwow, your typing gets even worse than usual when you're on the laptop, doesn't it? ;)08:32
BurglaptopI am sitting on a couch, the greatest place to use a laptop in the world08:32
Madpilotso you can cook important parts of yourself at the same time?08:33
Burglaptophey, unlike robitaille, I have no plans on having any kids08:34
robitailleBurglaptop,  you're stilll young... just wait a few more years :)08:36
=== Burglaptop doubts it
=== Madpilot thinks that cooking bits is a bad idea, regardless of what you intend to do with them...
=== Seveas [n=seveas@ksl403-uva-132.wireless.uva.nl] has joined #ubuntu-doc
robitailledownload http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz08:46
robitaillethen run this command08:46
robitaillezgrep "Filename.*ubuntu.*" Packages.gz08:46
robitaillethat should give you most ubuntu-modified packages08:46
Burglaptophmm, ok08:48
Burglaptoponly for main08:48
Madpilotrun it without the trailing dot behind 'ubuntu' as well?08:49
Burglaptophttp://kvota.net/sarma/08:49
Burglaptopya08:50
robitailleyou will the dot after ubuntu as well for regex to work properly.    universe, multiverse, restricted also have their own Packages.gz as well08:50
robitailleI'm sure there is a better way via apt-cache....08:51
Burglaptopya08:51
jsgotangcogo blam08:53
jsgotangcoit goes 100% when i try to close it just now08:53
Burglaptophmm, half the packages in main are modified by us08:54
Burglaptop698 in main are newer than those in debian08:54
MadpilotBurglaptop: what's at that URL you just posted, anyway? still not loading here...08:54
Burglaptopsarma, the live doc editor that was funded by Google for SoC08:55
robitailleMadpilot,  works here...08:55
Madpilotlive doc editor? online whiteboard stuff?08:56
robitaillethe question is how many of these 698 are stuff that are also in sid at this point in time; thus will be in breezy+1 without patching.  I have no idea...08:56
Burglaptopyes08:57
Burglaptopwell, all of gnome 2.12 is not yet in sid08:58
Burglaptopand all the xorg stuff08:58
Madpilotgunning for bragging rights over Debian, are we?08:58
Burglaptopno, just interested where our delta is at08:58
BurglaptopMadpilot, sarma is a live doc editor08:58
Madpilotwhere our <what> is at?08:58
Burglaptopfor whiteboarding, check out inkboard, which is also a SoC project08:59
Burglaptopand searchparty, another SoC project. This one allows you to share your searches with other people and what links they found useful09:00
Burglaptophttp://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode09:01
robitaillehttp://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/patches/  is the complete list of patches breezy vs sid09:01
Burglaptopyes09:01
BurglaptopMadpilot, our delta, the difference between us and Debian sid09:01
MadpilotBurglaptop: OK. where on earch does 'delta' come from?09:02
robitaillea talk from sabdfl09:02
Madpilotif it's from Mark, I'll guess it's a term used in the business/finance world - it sounds like an MBA-ish phrase!09:04
Burglaptopno it is not09:05
Madpilotno?09:05
jsgotangcoits a common term09:05
robitailleit's a scientific term.... think vectors, and differences between 2 of them going away from each other09:06
Madpilotdelta v... right... just corrupted into jargon... ;)09:06
robitailleit's also a jargon-word for a spoon... 09:07
robitailleat least this spoon09:07
Madpilotwhat?09:07
Burglaptopour spoon is not sharp and pointed09:07
BurglaptopMadpilot, you know what a fork is, right?09:07
Burglaptopit has evil connotations09:08
Burglaptopthus Ubuntu is a "spoon" of Debian09:08
MadpilotOK, I've heard the "ubuntu spoon" joke before, just didn't connect it with robitaille's comment09:08
