| Burgundavia | robotgeek, do a google search for each url. If you find nothing, then you can move and not redirect | 12:03 |
|---|---|---|
| LaserJock | mgalvin: for some reason the encoding or something didn't work, because I would get syntax errors when I tried to load it | 12:03 |
| robotgeek | Burgundavia: ahh, nice trick | 12:03 |
| Burgundavia | robotgeek, likely a lot of them are linked from the forums | 12:04 |
| LaserJock | mgalvin: then found the replacing the quotes with quotes that I typed worked | 12:04 |
| robotgeek | Burgundavia: very possible. | 12:04 |
| mgalvin | LaserJock: for the .vmx config you mean right? | 12:04 |
| LaserJock | mgalvin: right | 12:04 |

| mgalvin | ok, i'm am gonna try it out shortly too, thanks for the pointer :) | 12:05 |
| robotgeek | on this one, a alpgabetical table should make it much easier. like on the ndiswrapper wiki | 12:05 |
| LaserJock | mgalvin: I tried just copy-n-paste into nano. Maybe gedit would work better | 12:05 |
| mgalvin | LaserJock: true | 12:05 |
| LaserJock | mgalvin: anyway, thanks for the info. I have quite a few .isos sitting around that I've never done anything with | 12:05 |
| LaserJock | mgalvin: a wiki page would cool ;-) | 12:06 |
| mgalvin | LaserJock: sure, glad to help | 12:06 |
| robotgeek | mgalvin: yes, request a wiki page :) | 12:06 |
| robotgeek | mgalvin: i would like to do a qemu install too | 12:06 |
| mgalvin | i'll try and whip one together shortly | 12:06 |
| robotgeek | mgalvin: w.u.c/TakingScreenshots might help | 12:06 |
| mgalvin | robotgeek: the method I came up with is currently described on my blog here: http://www.simplifiedcomplexity.com/ | 12:07 |
| robotgeek | mgalvin: wordpress 2.0? | 12:07 |
| Burgundavia | mgalvin, would you mind updating TakingScreenshots with your new methods? | 12:07 |
| mgalvin | robotgeek: yup | 12:08 |
| mgalvin | Burgundavia: sure, i'll try and squeeze that in soon as well | 12:08 |
| Burgundavia | mgalvin, excellent | 12:08 |
| mgalvin | np | 12:08 |
| robotgeek | mgalvin: i'm using that for my blog too, pretty sweet. been using it since a year, have had absolutely no issues with it. i just luv wordpress | 12:09 |
| mgalvin | me too :) | 12:09 |
| mgalvin | i want to make my own theme too, but alas, there are not enough hours in a day :-/ | 12:11 |
| robotgeek | mgalvin: get some theme, then modify over time | 12:12 |
| robotgeek | Burgundavia: okay, i think i got the hang of this. i'll do it tommorow or so, just wanted to confirm before making a major change. | 12:14 |
| Burgundavia | robotgeek, sounds good | 12:14 |
| robotgeek | Burgundavia: what about Alphabetical listing, is that fine too? | 12:14 |
| Burgundavia | robotgeek, for what? | 12:15 |
| robotgeek | HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards similiar to http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List | 12:16 |
| robotgeek | Burgundavia: ? | 12:26 |
| Burgundavia | robotgeek, sounds good. Trust your own judgement | 12:28 |
| robotgeek | Burgundavia: cool, if anything is wrong, we can always revert back :) | 12:29 |
| Burgundavia | yep | 12:29 |
| robotgeek | alrite, looks like i've got my work cut out. i'll sleep and start hacking away after i wake up | 12:30 |

| === mgalvin goes for a look | ||
| robotgeek | ty | 03:45 |
| mgalvin | robotgeek: seems ok, maybe something like WirelessNetworkingDocumentation and structure it more like UserDocumentation since it seems to have a similar content collection | 03:49 |
| mgalvin | but there is nothing wrong with leaving it the way it is | 03:49 |
| robotgeek | mgalvin: i don't have an issue changing the name right now, but i don't want to end up doing it later. However, WIrelessNet..Documentation is pretty long to type | 03:51 |
| robotgeek | maybe even WifiDocs would be fine | 03:52 |
| robotgeek | I think i'll go ahead with WifiDocs, uses common terminology, and is short | 03:53 |
| mgalvin | robotgeek: yea i don't like long name either, WifiDocs sounds good to me, go for it | 04:00 |
| robotgeek | cool, on it | 04:01 |

| robotgeek | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Rt2500WirelessCardsHowTo is not redirecting correctly to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/RalinkRT2500 | 04:50 |
| robotgeek | i am not able to figure out redirects to a subpage | 04:53 |
| mgalvin | hmm, looking... | 04:53 |
| robotgeek | so, i gave the direct url, but that's getting malformed | 04:53 |
| mgalvin | well, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/https:/Rt2500WirelessCardsHowTo?action=show doesn't sem to exists anymore :-/ | 04:58 |
| robotgeek | yeah, but the /https: is a bug | 04:58 |
| mgalvin | right i see that | 04:58 |
| mgalvin | umm | 04:59 |

| mhz | oohhhh | 05:01 |
| mhz | yes | 05:01 |
| mhz | lowercase | 05:01 |

| === MadXChat is Madpilot, away from home :-) | ||
| robotgeek | ah, MadXChat i was wondering why i havent seen you for a while | 07:06 |
| robotgeek | i've been hacking away at CategoryCleanup | 07:06 |
| MadXChat | yeah, I'm housesitting for my grandparents | 07:07 |
| robotgeek | hmm, okay | 07:07 |
| MadXChat | forced to run either Win98 or Ubuntu LiveCD... bleh | 07:07 |
| MadXChat | cool, we're down to ~350 entries in Cleanup, it was over 380 a few weeks ago! | 07:08 |
| robotgeek | MadXChat: you should probably use the Live Cd with persistence | 07:08 |
| MadXChat | saving settings to a partition or something? I didn't think the LiveCD did that, actually | 07:09 |
| robotgeek | !persistence | 07:09 |
| robotgeek | damn, ubotu aint here | 07:09 |
| MadXChat | no bot here | 07:09 |
| robotgeek | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDPersistence | 07:10 |
| robotgeek | MadXChat: what do you think about different colors on the wireless page | 07:11 |
| MadXChat | different colours how? | 07:12 |
| robotgeek | MadXChat: green for working, red for not | 07:12 |
| MadXChat | there's a Hardware page for wireless stuff too, isn't there? cards & USB dongles? | 07:13 |
| robotgeek | yeah, that's the page i want add colors on | 07:14 |
| robotgeek | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards | 07:14 |
| MadXChat | nevermind, found it | 07:14 |
| MadXChat | it's already got Working?/Yes/No - colour that? | 07:15 |
| robotgeek | yeah | 07:15 |
| MadXChat | none of the other HardwareSupport<etc> pages use colours so far | 07:16 |
| MadXChat | I like the idea, though | 07:16 |
| MadXChat | what's the wiki markup for coloured text? (I've forgotten...) | 07:16 |
| robotgeek | i'll have to steal it from the table :) | 07:17 |
| MadXChat | heh | 07:17 |
| robotgeek | ||<#FF8080> red ||<#80FF80> green ||<#8080FF> blue || | 07:17 |
| MadXChat | I still get confused by wiki markup, I know HTML/CSS markup quite well and wiki markup is close, but not **quite** the same... | 07:18 |
| robotgeek | since i do all my editing in vim, i get syntax highlighting which helps quite a bit | 07:18 |
| robotgeek | i always keep the SyntaxReference page handy | 07:19 |
| MadXChat | I'm out of practice right now too... | 07:20 |
| MadXChat | Get my Ubuntu Membership, then celebrate by doing nothing for the distro for the rest of the month! ;) | 07:20 |
| robotgeek | lol | 07:21 |
| MadXChat | I'm housesitting for three weeks for my grandparents, as I said, and even with the LiveCD, it's hard being away from my own machine & setup... | 07:22 |
| robotgeek | my next to do is to put the cards in there in an alphabetical index | 07:22 |
| robotgeek | in your absense, i've been bugging Burgundavia | 07:22 |
| MadXChat | good, he needs bugging! | 07:23 |
| robotgeek | okay, to add one more section to GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and then remove it from Cleanup | 07:28 |
| === bshumate [n=bshumate@ubuntu/member/bshumate] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||

| robotgeek | wb MadXChat2 | 08:11 |
| MadXChat2 | interesting - actually managed to lock up the LiveCD on this machine... | 08:12 |
| robotgeek | so, what is the deletion policy for "redundant wiki pages" | 08:12 |
| MadXChat2 | is the redundant page linked to from anywhere else in the wiki? | 08:12 |
| robotgeek | nope | 08:12 |
| robotgeek | even the redundant page claimed it was redundant :) | 08:13 |
| MadXChat2 | does google show any links to it? | 08:13 |
| MadXChat2 | if "no", then it can probably just be put out of it's misery... | 08:14 |
| robotgeek | MadXChat2: maybe there is a categoryDeletionCandidates | 08:15 |
| MadXChat2 | not AFAIK - you could always create it | 08:16 |
| MadXChat2 | or just kill the offending page | 08:16 |
| robotgeek | heh, easier :) | 08:17 |
| robotgeek | MadXChat2: later, going to bed now | 08:23 |
| MadXChat2 | later - nice work on the wiki tonight | 08:23 |

| robitaille | humm... I can kill my X server trying to play a movie in Totem in Dapper. That's no good. | 08:30 |
| MadXChat2 | of course - everyone knows parents never have things on Saturday :) | 08:30 |
