robitaillehello Madpilot 02:25
Madpilotwho's in charge of the actual Ubuntu.com website?02:25
Madpilotit was just mentioned over on #ubuntu that the Download page puts Breezy first, and Hoary right off the bottom of the screen02:26
Madpilot(even on a 1280x1024 screen like mine...) which is not very cool.02:26
Madpilothttp://www.ubuntu.com/download/02:26
_tshahLol, most people will probably end up downloading the "preview" by mistake02:28
Madpilotexactly02:29
_tshahOn that note, http://www.kubuntu.org/ has some issues too02:33
_tshahFirst of all, the "Download" link is at the bottom02:33
Madpilotwhat do you expect from a bunch of KDE users? :)02:33
=== Madpilot ducks, quickly...
_tshahSecond of all, the "Install CD" and the "Live CD" are the same link02:34
Madpilot_tshah: that's because they're all on the same mirrors together02:35
_tshahYeah, so why give the user two links?02:35
Madpilotto point out that they're different things, I guess02:36
_tshahYeah, but then the user has to "decide" again after they click on it02:36
Madpilottrue02:36
Madpilotre-organizing the servers & mirrors is going to be a post-Breezy thing, though...02:37
_tshahbased on this: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/   I don't know if there will be any large re-structuing02:39
Madpilotyeah02:39
MadpilotI have no idea if there is a server/mirror re-org planned - I rather doubt it - but there is the LiveCD vs InstallCD thing you've noticed02:40
Riddell_tshah: if you want to play around with the layout of kubuntu.org that would be great, been on my TODO list for ages02:40
_tshahok, gg; see ya02:47

jeffschactually, that's not exactly true...08:03
jsgotangcojeffsch, no worries i'm trying to hack up something similar to our giant makefile08:03
jeffschI looked into it, but decided that with the upcoming switch to baz, and the probable pruning of our repos, that it would be a waste of time right now08:04
jsgotangcohmm yelp doesn't do footnotes08:05

Burgundaviamdke, ping08:07
jeffschBurgundavia: are you the only one from docteam going to ubz?08:08

jeffschif you call "on the other side of the country" close :)08:12

robitaillethe planes are small, but fly quite often between Victoria-Vancouver and Victoria-Seattle08:19
jsgotangcojeffsch, strange mine works fine08:19
robitaillejsgotangco,  beagle?  I was going to try to install it later tonight on my laptop.  08:19
jsgotangcorobitaille, it must be because i missedsomething08:20
jsgotangcolet me check08:20
jsgotangcoit used to work in previous builds08:20
robitailledo you get any error?08:21
jsgotangconope let me run best in a terminal08:21
jsgotangcowonder if beagle still require mono-assemblies-base08:21
=== robitaille is installing beagle
=== robitaille has just noticed that Breezy is his first ever unix/linux in 15 years that doesn't come with /bin/mail installed by default
jsgotangcohmmm it still doesn'r run08:26
jsgotangcoit seems my beagled is looping something08:26
Burgundaviajdub, does the BBB tour need ubuntu members?08:27
robitaillejsgotangco,  is this something like this?  https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/217608:27
jsgotangcoyeah08:28
jsgotangcoexactly08:28
jsgotangcolet me check if i need to update08:29
robitaillejsgotangco,  I have updated to 0.13, and now I get: "Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: glib-2.0"08:30
jsgotangcogahhh this thing used to work08:31
jsgotangconow it doesnt even have the notification icon of best08:31

BurgundaviaMadpilot, can you send me your /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu09:30
Madpilothuh?09:30
BurgundaviaI need a hoary version09:30
Burgundaviathat is a file09:30
MadpilotI know, just a sec, digging for it09:30
Madpilotcool, it's actually an XML file of some sort...09:31
Burgundaviais the freedesktop standard09:32
Madpilotyeah, saw the DTD09:32
Madpilotcoming via gmail now09:33
Madpilotgone09:33
Madpilotwhat do you want a Hoary menu config for?09:33
Burgundaviaplaying with menus, but it turns out the issue is deeper than that09:34
Madpilotthought you weren't running Hoary on either machine?09:35
BurgundaviaI wiped hoary when I reinstalled Breezy preview09:38
jsgotangcoyeah i loved the moment i did that as well09:38
Madpilotthought so. so why do you need a Hoary menu file?09:38
Burgundaviabasically I wanted to add a seperator between the last submenu and add programs09:38
Burgundaviaturns out that is not in the .menu file09:38
Burgundaviait is a code change09:38
Madpilota seperator like Hoary has between the apps & the Run Apps entry?09:39
Burgundaviayes09:39
Madpilotseperators are treated differently by Gnome? too bad...09:40
Burgundaviano, it is there is no support in the spec for it09:40

jsgotangcois the po file already given out10:06
jsgotangcomdke nested it inside <title>10:07
jsgotangcothat's the problem10:07
