LaserJocksorry, I was in a meeting12:03
LaserJockI think that it would be good to probably split the common stuff into ubuntu and kubuntu12:04
LaserJockI think the doc systems are different enough that it might be a pain to try to make it work for both12:04
LaserJockwhat do you think>12:05
LaserJock?12:05
robotgeekLaserJock: just mailed the group actually :)12:05
robotgeeklist, rather12:05
LaserJockoh, ok great12:06
robotgeekLaserJock: i'm okay with separate common documents for ubuntu / kubuntu separately12:07
LaserJockI think the original proposal was just to encourage writers to use common material when possible12:08
LaserJockbecause before I think it was basically each doc had it's own preface, etc.12:08
robotgeekLaserJock: yeah, it makes a lot of sense12:08
robotgeekmaybe i should just add to my email12:08
robotgeekLaserJock: done: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2006-March/thread.html12:12
mdkerobotgeek, we (ubuntu) are using the preface already, the desktop guide doesn't have a different one anymore12:12
mdkewe decided via the mailing list a couple of weeks back12:13
robotgeekmdke: oh okay, sorry12:13
mdkeyou can go ahead and use it too if it is appropriate12:14
LaserJockmdke: i think that the problem is that Kubuntu uses a different system12:14
robotgeekmdke: i'll strip out the headers and use it, no problem12:15
mdkewhich headers?12:15
LaserJockRiddell took out the xincludes12:15
mdkeeither the content is appropriate or not, i think12:15
mdkeLaserJock, there are no xincludes in the common preface file12:15
mdkeiirc12:16
robotgeekmdke: no, there is one12:16
LaserJockmdke: you right12:16
mdkeoh but that doesn't matter12:16
robotgeekokay, basically the entities also12:16
mdkethat's just the xinclude module12:16
mdkedoes that cause problems?12:17
robotgeekhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/969212:17
LaserJockrobotgeek: why are they removed?12:17
robotgeekLaserJock: i am not sure, but Ridell said something about meinproc not being able to handle them12:18
mdkebecause the stupid kde tools don't read them12:18
LaserJockok, so what about the generic docs?12:18
robotgeekit works fine without the entities and stuff12:18
robotgeekbrb12:18
mdkeLaserJock, yeah12:19
mdkerobotgeek, what produces those errors?12:21
LaserJockmeinproc?12:21
mdkeit looks like its caused by bad addresses12:22
LaserJocklooking at the -doc email12:22
mdkei'm thinking the validate script12:22
mdkehmm12:24
robotgeekyeah, the validate script12:26
mdkei might take a look tomorrow12:27
mdkei wonder how riddell builds the serverguide using meinproc12:27
mdkei don't understand the insistence on meinproc myself :/12:28
robotgeekmdke: it think it's cause all kde-docs use it?12:28
mdkethere are real reasons too12:29
mdkebut I don't think they are that important12:29
mdkebut then again, I don't use kde so I don't know much about how the help system works12:30
robotgeekmdke: it's very nice, imho12:30
robotgeekyelp is awesome too. 12:30
robotgeekreadind xml files directly is very nice12:30
=== LaserJock [n=laserjoc@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkewell I need to look at the difference between the html that xsltproc produces and the html that meinproc produces, but I don't _think_ there can be a significant difference12:32
robotgeektrue12:32
mdke-> bed12:33
robotgeeklater mdke 12:34
mdkeif you wrinkle out those validation errors, go ahead and commit12:34
robotgeeki'll not touch it for now then12:34
robotgeekmdke: it validates when i remove the stuff before it12:34
mdkesure, the problem must be with the addresses of those entities12:34
mdkewe'll figure it out12:34
mdkenight12:34
robotgeekmaybe a simple solution is to put that in ../../libs just like the fdl.xml12:35
robotgeekanyways, it can wait, no need to hurry12:35

Madpilothi robotgeek 09:09
robotgeekhey Madpilot 09:09
robotgeekMadpilot: howz it goin?09:10
MadpilotOK - lots of stupid scriptmorons on #ubuntu, though  - you've heard about the IRC exploits?09:10
robotgeekyeah, the netgear / linksys thing?09:11
robotgeekit's a good thing i'm using irssi over ssh, i do have a netgear router09:11
Madpilotthe d c c crap09:11
robotgeekyeah, i read about it in lilo's blog09:12
Madpilothe's going nuts kline'ing people who use it09:12
robotgeekheh09:12
robotgeekMadpilot: can you try it for me in /msg :)09:13
MadpilotI don't actually have the last episode in #ubuntu on backscroll anymore09:13
Madpilotso you're safe :P09:13
robotgeekMadpilot: hmm, okay :)09:14
robotgeekmy router wouldn't recognize the evil words anyways09:14
Madpilotbecause you're tunneling SSH, not using IRC directly?09:15
robotgeekyeah09:15
Madpilotuseful09:15
robotgeekshell does have it's advantages09:15
Madpilothey, I finally got Xchat configured the way I want it - it only took about four evenings of occasional fiddling :P09:16
robotgeeknice, it took me way longer with irssi09:17
Madpilotmostly re-arranging the rightclick menu to get the op tools & such into a useful order09:17
robotgeeki just had to get my aliases in order, /kk /kkk /kkkk in order of severity :)09:18
MadpilotI've got whois, devoice & kickban at the top, then the usual XChat menus below - stuff like D.C.C & CTCP that I never use I shoved to the bottom09:21
robotgeekMadpilot: what does devoice do? mute a person?09:25
Madpilotyes, it's mode +q09:26
Madpilotnice for giant floods, gentler than just kicking the poor noob :P09:26
robotgeekMadpilot: i am not sure if irssi's /devoice mode is the same, it sets +v09:30
MadpilotI don't honestly know enough about IRC commands to know what, if any, difference there is...09:32
crimsunyou probably meant -v09:32
robotgeekyeah, -v09:32
crimsun+q is muzzling, which is the same effect as -v regardless whether the channel is moderated (+m)09:33
crimsunon an unmoderated channel (-m), -v has no noticeable effect09:33
crimsunanother way to think of it is whitelisting (+q) vs. blacklisting (+m and -v)09:34
robotgeekso, it would be useless on say #(k)ubuntu09:34
=== robotgeek goes to modify the irssi command
crimsun-v would be be pointless on {k}ubuntu, yes09:35
crimsun(I don't foresee either channel going +m by default, that is)09:35
robotgeekyeah, we went +m in #ubuntu-motu-school , once09:36
crimsunyep09:36
Madpilotso that people had to put their hand up to speak? :P09:36
crimsunyeah, there were conduits (sh and siretart iirc)09:36

mdkei've had enough of not understanding this meinproc crap11:29
jpatrickmeinproc keeps displaying errors here11:30
Kamping_Kaisermeinproc?11:30
Kamping_Kaisersounds like a rammstein song <grin>11:30
jpatrickKDE Translator for XML11:31
Kamping_Kaiserneat.11:31
mdkeit builds html from xml11:31
mdkebut it doesn't support xincludes, one of our heavily used features, which is a major issue11:32
mdkeI'm going to see if I can make riddell happy by building the exact same html using xsltproc instead of meinproc11:32
mdkeoh great. kubuntu-desktop is uninstallable11:32
Kamping_Kaiseri think I'm a bit out of my depth, but i get the idea i think11:32
jpatrickmdke: you mean that nice brown ubuntu theme but blue?11:33
jpatrickwhat's wrong with it?11:33
mdkejpatrick, the kubuntu-desktop package is uninstallable11:33
jpatrickbut why?11:33
=== mdke switches to #kubuntu
=== jpatrick follows
Kamping_Kaiseris there a brown theme for Kubuntu?11:34
Kamping_Kaisermdke: your running dapper? are you getting PNP errrors on boot?11:48
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, yes, it's in the bug tracker.11:49

robotgeekcarthik: you are about 24 hours late :P08:36
carthikhey robotgeek - wondering if, for the cleanup, there is some way to delete/rename pages, or if I can be of help08:36
carthikrobotgeek, the channel message made me think it was prolly a typo in the date08:37
robotgeekcarthik: yeah, to delete you click actions and delete08:37
robotgeekcarthik: however, google the page first to see if any external site links to the article08:37
carthikrobotgeek, alright. how about renaming/redirecting mediawiki style?08:38
robotgeekcarthik: you just say #redirect target08:39
robotgeekcarthik: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpOnProcessingInstructions?highlight=%28redirect%2908:39
carthikrobotgeek, thank you. maybe i can move in some more of the stuff from that blog i have08:40
carthikor cleanup the pages requiring cleanup08:40
