| Madpilot | I just did a quick proofreading run thru that, ompaul - looks OK | 12:04 |
|---|---|---|
| ompaul | Madpilot, thanks | 12:04 |
| ompaul | robotgeek was suggesting he was going to do something about an install - was it install an application or install the o/s? | 12:05 |
| Madpilot | the install guide is for the OS, I think | 12:10 |
| Madpilot | not sure what the status of that is | 12:10 |
| ompaul | I'll get him tomorrow and see if I can do something he may be able to use or are our aims so different :) I want installing an applicaiton and a quick overview of where files go and why kind of filesystem and install I suppose | 12:19 |
| Madpilot | ompaul, check the current Ubuntu Desktop Guide for Dapper at doc.ubuntu.com - some of that is already in there - there's a good Add Applications section | 12:21 |
| ompaul | okay | 12:21 |
| ompaul | might save me a job of work that would be cool | 12:22 |
| ompaul | hmm tasty | 12:23 |
| ompaul | I will bookmark that for tomorrow | 12:24 |
| Madpilot | those docs get rebuilt twice a day from our SVN repository | 12:25 |

| LaserJock | jdong: what are the licenses? or is that what your trying to find? | 01:36 |
| jdong | correct, LaserJock, I'm interested in using some shades of Ubuntu-ish brown on one of my MoinMoin wikis | 01:36 |
| jdong | our school colors are gold and brown :) | 01:36 |
| LaserJock | convenient ;-) | 01:36 |

| Floid | What's the easiest way to request a small improvement to a package desc., or can I just drop it in someone's lap here? | 03:16 |
| Madpilot | file a bug against the package on launchpad | 03:17 |
| Madpilot | https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs | 03:17 |
| Floid | Just what I need, one more login/password. ;) | 03:17 |
| Floid | But yeah, if I must.. | 03:17 |
| LaserJock | Floid: launchpad is used for lots of things in Ubuntu so it might be worthwhile | 03:18 |
| Madpilot | docteam doesn't actually handle the package descriptions, the packagers do | 03:18 |
| Floid | I was really just trying to weasel a one-off filing on my behalf, but since I got the RTFM answer I'm already registering. ^^ | 03:19 |
| Floid | For what it's worth, and you might find a personal reason to care at some point, the acroread-plugins package is required to handle certain (or possibly all) fillable forms. | 03:19 |
| Madpilot | bugs are best filed by the people who actually experienced them - that way you can be contacted for further details if needed... | 03:19 |
| Floid | That is the entirety of the bug, all you get is some 'these plugins are evil and report back to the mothership' libre handwaving in the current desc. ;) | 03:20 |
| Floid | Anyhow, remember this if you need to do your Connecticut taxes. :P | 03:21 |
| Madpilot | I live on the far side of the continent from Connecticut, and in another country :P | 03:21 |
| LaserJock | well, I'm at least in the same country, but we don't have state income taxes :) | 03:22 |
| Floid | This is a certificate of no tax for an estate, actually, but that's getting into extraneous detail. | 03:22 |
| Floid | I'm also looking for legal templates for OpenOffice, if anyone knows where they're hiding. (Found reference to them, but not the actual last time I Googled.) | 03:23 |
| Madpilot | Floid, for those, try the main #ubuntu channel - I think there's an openoffice channel too | 03:24 |
| Madpilot | #openoffice.org | 03:25 |
| Floid | That, in turn, was just the sound of me making small talk. ;) | 03:36 |

| theCore | there's something I can't find explaination: why the Wiki has a SSL connection ? | 05:47 |

| LaserJock | isn't that for authentication? | 05:47 |
| LaserJock | lol | 05:47 |
| LaserJock | Madpilot's explanation is better | 05:47 |
| theCore | Madpilot: lol, but that still doesn't explain me why | 05:49 |
| Madpilot | I don't know either | 05:49 |
| Madpilot | but there's the "encrypt absolutely everything, so the important stuff doesn't stand out" take on encryption... | 05:50 |
| LaserJock | I thought it was because it used LP for authentication, of course I could be wrong | 05:50 |
| theCore | IMHO, it's just a waste of money | 05:53 |

| robotgeek | i've always wondered why we did not filch Fedora's Installer? | 07:21 |

| LaserJock | I just can't believe Gentoo would have a livecd | 07:23 |
| robotgeek | Gentoo was my first distro too, i managed to screw yaboot up! lol | 07:23 |
| jsgotangco | it looks like its using gparted too | 07:26 |
| FreakinNuts | yeah....gentoo really has kinda stepped out there. | 07:26 |
| FreakinNuts | I was mucking around with it on vmware....it's been forever since I did a stage 1 install. | 07:27 |
| jsgotangco | hmm it defaults to ext2 | 07:28 |

| FreakinNuts | LaserJock: I volunteer for a Freegeek and we're using the OEM install of ubuntu to prep the computers before they get adopted. | 07:58 |
| FreakinNuts | LaserJock: from the ubuntu installer disk, just type oem...really great for prepping a computer for the end user.... | 07:59 |
| LaserJock | hmm, never seen that before, cool | 08:00 |
| FreakinNuts | LaserJock: Howerver, there needs to be more documentation as to what the OEM installer really does, and maybe even some functionality to install customized programs specific to the OEM install. (for example, we'd like to have the freegeekcolumbus.org link in the help for our users to try to ask us for help first, instead of bogging you folks down with end-user requests) | 08:01 |
| FreakinNuts | LaserJock: my write up of the OEM install : http://freegeekcolumbus.org/wiki/OEM_Install | 08:01 |
| robotgeek | FreakinNuts: i think you would need to hack the installer cd for links and stuff | 08:01 |
| robotgeek | FreakinNuts: okay, sorry. i dunno what i am talking about! | 08:02 |

| Burglaptop | night all | 09:48 |
| robotgeek | can someone clarify the DNS setting in (k)Ubuntu | 09:48 |
| robotgeek | i thought it was handled automagically? | 09:49 |
| bhuvan | robotgeek: yes ? | 09:49 |
| robotgeek | then why do we have the dns server setting in Network Settings? | 09:49 |
| robotgeek | or dns, at all | 09:49 |
| === bhuvan looks network settings | ||
| robotgeek | it looks like a copy of /etc/hosts | 09:50 |
| bhuvan | nope, if you meant dns | 09:50 |
| bhuvan | robotgeek: dns configuration is not necessary if your network is configured via dhcp | 09:50 |
| bhuvan | the dns server details are automagically (as you said) configured. refer /etc/resolv.conf for details | 09:51 |
| robotgeek | hmm, okay. only in case of static ip? | 09:51 |
| bhuvan | yep, you are correct, in case of static, we can configure dns server details in that screen | 09:51 |
| robotgeek | bhuvan: thanks, i'll add that bit in the KDG | 09:52 |
| bhuvan | should it be in kdg or serverguide ? | 09:52 |
| === bhuvan is not sure! | ||
| robotgeek | bhuvan: the gui tool is there, just one line on "connect to internet" | 09:53 |
| bhuvan | oh ok | 09:53 |
| bhuvan | sometimes isp provide dns server details and it will be configured automatically, you can specify this | 09:53 |
| bhuvan | sometimes they would do it automatically, so we should configure them manually | 09:54 |
| bhuvan | s/would/wont | 09:54 |
| robotgeek | ah, okay. thanks for information | 09:54 |

| mdke | bhuvan, there was an ubuntu-docs upload 7 days ago | 10:36 |
| bhuvan | but, debian/control is dated feb 03 ? | 10:36 |
| jsgotangco | did your stylesheets get accepted? | 10:36 |
| mdke | jsgotangco, not yet, I don't think | 10:37 |
| jsgotangco | nnn | 10:37 |
| mdke | bhuvan, look at /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-docs/changelog.gz | 10:37 |
| bhuvan | mdke, ok | 10:37 |
| bhuvan | mdke, thanks. it is as on feb 13 | 10:38 |
| mdke | it should be feb 21 | 10:39 |
| robotgeek | should i retain the stuff about mozilla-firefox in KDG | 10:41 |
| Madpilot | is FF in Kubuntu by default? | 10:43 |
| robotgeek | nope | 10:43 |
| jpatrick | Konqueror | 10:43 |
| jsgotangco | we need no stinkeen''' memory hog | 10:44 |
| robotgeek | amen | 10:44 |
| jsgotangco | :D | 10:44 |
| mdke | heh | 10:44 |
| robotgeek | so i'll leave all the firefox tips out, and see if i can add any neat konquror tips | 10:44 |
| Madpilot | yeah, that's why I use Opera :p | 10:44 |
| mdke | <- epiphany | 10:45 |
| jpatrick | I have a svn diff | 10:45 |
| jsgotangco | yeah but epi still uses moz | 10:45 |
| Madpilot | Epiph has some cool features - it might even tempt me away from Opera in a few versions | 10:45 |
| bhuvan | mdke, i did update! now it shows feb 21, i guess we should update the file in our svn repo accordingly anyhow | 10:46 |
| mdke | bhuvan, yes, I'll ask dholbach to merge in his changes | 10:46 |
| bhuvan | ok | 10:46 |
| jsgotangco | Madpilot, i like my web 2.0 stuff though, i wish epiphany was a bit extensible compared to firefox | 10:52 |
| Madpilot | meh. Extensions are an excuse for laziness on the part of browser devs. | 10:53 |
| Madpilot | (only half joking...) :p | 10:53 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 10:53 |
| jsgotangco | mdke, if you have time, can you make a review of the g-a-i manual so i could make final changes to it | 10:54 |
| mdke | jsgotangco, ok, i won't be likely to get to it before this weekend though, I'm afraid | 10:55 |
| jsgotangco | mdke, no worries | 10:55 |
| mdke | got a sort of exam thing at work | 10:55 |
| jsgotangco | exam at work? | 10:55 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | i'm about to try and write a few paras on "I know that some programs are free to be copied and distributed where as others have copyright that limits distribution" and "i know that some standards are agreed by many interested parties whereas others are determined and controlled by individual interests" for some ingots training | 02:09 |

| mdke | robotgeek, hi | 02:55 |
| robotgeek | mdke: just wanted to mention references to "sudo gedit" need to be corrected | 02:55 |
| robotgeek | to gksudo gedit | 02:56 |
| mdke | robotgeek, yes, ideally, although sudo gedit works I think | 02:56 |
| robotgeek | mdke: NEVER use sudo to start graphical programs. You should always use gksudo or kdesu to run such programs, otherwise new login attempts may fail. If this happens and at login an error message reports: "Unable to read ICE authority file", log in using the failsafe terminal and execute the command below subsituting user for your username. | 02:57 |
| robotgeek | has happened to me on gnome, and can be quite painful | 02:58 |
| mdke | that only happens on a kde/gnome split system, right? | 02:58 |
| robotgeek | mdke: nope, even on a pure gnome system | 02:59 |
| mdke | it doesn't happen if you run gnome apps with sudo in gnome | 02:59 |
| robotgeek | mdke: that's what the wiki says | 02:59 |
| mdke | I've never seen that on my system, although I do it regularly | 02:59 |
| mdke | anyway, no reason not to use gksudo, of course | 03:00 |
| === jsgotangco [n=jsg@125.212.127.221] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||

| mdke | ?? | 03:00 |

| mdke | that would be bad | 03:01 |
| robotgeek | %s/sudo gedit/gksudo gedit/g | 03:01 |
| robotgeek | that would work :) | 03:01 |
| robotgeek | jpatrick: is there any other way to manage startup session programs other than "Save Session on Logout" | 03:03 |
| jpatrick | robotgeek: ~/.kde/Autostart | 03:04 |
| jpatrick | put a .desktop file there | 03:04 |
| robotgeek | jpatrick: and that can be copied from /usr/share /applications? | 03:05 |
| === mpt [n=mpt@219-89-148-138.jetstart.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| jpatrick | Yes | 03:06 |
| robotgeek | nice and easy, thanks | 03:06 |
| jpatrick | global: /usr/share/autostart | 03:06 |
| mdke | if there's a graphical way, best to document that first though | 03:07 |
| jpatrick | kcontrol-autostart | 03:07 |
| mdke | robotgeek, ^^ | 03:08 |
| robotgeek | thanks! i prefer to document the gui way | 03:09 |
| Kaiser_Away | robotgeek: in all honesty i have only seen the ice issue when KDE apps are run sudo under Gnome (k3b springs to mind), but i still recomiend people against using sudo for the gui *shrug*. | 03:13 |
| robotgeek | Kaiser_Away: might be it, but people will definetly mix and match. it might be better to prefer to gksudo way | 03:14 |

| jsgotangco | doh | 04:29 |
| jsgotangco | hold on | 04:29 |

| robotgeek | jpatrick: it said 49.1 kb after compression | 04:29 |
| mdke | don't push the file through if it's 282k | 04:29 |

| jsgotangco | done | 04:30 |
| robotgeek | thanks jsgotangco | 04:31 |
| mdke | committed | 04:33 |
| jpatrick | If I have <bddebian@comcast.net> <- how doI stop that from being a tag? | 04:33 |
| robotgeek | thanks mdke | 04:34 |
| robotgeek | might not validate with one omission in libs/kde.ent | 04:37 |
| mdke | jpatrick, <bddebian@comcast.net> | 04:38 |
| mdke | robotgeek, best have a patch for that too, we need things to build for the preview server | 04:39 |
| robotgeek | mdke: yes, i can also patch the Makefile if you wish | 04:39 |
| mdke | robotgeek, is it necessary? or are you using desktopguide/C/mk? | 04:40 |
| jpatrick | thanks | 04:41 |
| robotgeek | mdke: hmm, i am actually just using yelp. the mk file works as such, but it doesn't build status and such | 04:41 |
