=== Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [12:35] is it better to show the URL of a link or use the words of the sentence? [12:52] LaserJock: i would say it depends on your audience but words can always be more descriptive and friendly [12:54] mgalvin: I generally go for words unless there is something important about the URL but I didn't know if there was a "best practices" for it [12:56] LaserJock: not that i am aware of === theCore [n=alex@Toronto-HSE-ppp3785508.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-doc [12:59] hi theCore [01:03] hello LaserJock [01:06] LaserJock: should we add a section about meta-packages ? [01:06] perhaps, that actually would be quite usefull for people [01:08] ubuntu tend to use a lot meta-packages [01:09] yeah, and people can use a meta-package for all there personal packages so then when the reinstall they just install their personal meta-package and get all their "goodies" [01:10] I don't think we need explain how to make one, though. Just a quick definition about it would be fine. [01:11] well, yes. Once you know how to package building a meta-packages should be easy === Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [01:15] wow, much todo about nothing on digg today [01:17] isn't that standard for digg? [01:17] it's like slashdot, without the diversion of the +5 Funny posts [01:19] LaserJock: we should really emphasized on giving the reader a deep understanding of the debian package format, so they can develop their own techniques [01:20] theCore: sure [01:21] Madpilot: indeed. You going out to dad's tonight for dinner? [01:21] Burgundavia, yes [01:21] ok [01:21] if I hadn't just blogged, I would blog again about how this is a tempest in a teakettle [01:22] which one ;-) [01:23] this Ubuntu issue, or the OS X fud that ran around earlier this week [01:23] LaserJock: I don't want make the guide as a long tutorial which teach nothing to the reader except standard procesdures [01:23] theCore: sure. I'm just stuggling to fill the current outline.

[07:10] okay, i get it === robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc [07:11] robotgeek: Dapper Flight5 LiveCD - the default Dapper theme is more orange than brown [07:11] heh [07:11] and XChat-Gnome isn't even included by default, which sucketh [07:11] i wonder if *our* flight 5 will be blue/green [07:12] and XChat-Gnome has stupid defaults - XChat will connect you to FreeNode/#ubuntu by default, but XChat-Gnome just sits there [07:12] title bar is back to brown in metacity [07:13] manicka: in the daily build of Dapper? [07:14] in the latest update I have, yes [07:16] bleh - XChat-gnome can't colour nicks like XChat can [07:17] I am once again unimpressed by XChat-Gnome... :( [07:18] irssi :) and it seems it comes installed in a default dapper install [07:18] Madpilot: move to irssi! [07:18] amen! [07:18] Madpilot: was it installed by defualt? I didn't think so [07:18] LaserJock: it's not, I had to install it [07:18] hmmm, I still had clearlooks on [07:18] thankfully this machine has enough ram to handle actually installing stuff on the LiveCD :P [07:19] Madpilot: so, you are going to take a dig at my issues? [07:19] robitaille: it is installed by default with Flight5? [07:19] so some obscure cli-based IRC client is included by default, but Xchat/Xchat-gnome is not- sorry, but that's screwed up [07:20] LaserJock: I think it is...but not 100%. I can't remember installing it in the last 24 hours since I installed flight 5 [07:20] Madpilot: irssi is not obscure :) [07:20] for some people cli commands are obscure :) [07:21] well, I didn't think there was supposed to be *any* irc client installed by default so... [07:21] but irssi is not easy to configure initially === Burgundavia [n=corey@S0106000fb085cc63.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [07:21] robotgeek: the terminal is inherently obscure :P [07:21] gaim does irc. [07:21] but not very well [07:21] yeah, take that Madpilot . gaim is the answer. or you can move to kde :) [07:21] XChat-Gnome doesn't do IRC very well either, IMO... [07:22] Madpilot: the x-g is breezy sucksw [07:22] LaserJock: if I try to remove irssi, it tries to remove ubuntu-desktop. So I guess it came by default in flight 5 [07:22] Burgundavia: I'm running Flight5 LiveCD, and XChat-Gnome still bites [07:22] yay :) [07:22] I like Xchat-Aqua myself :-) although I'm using Windows Xchat at the moment [07:23] robitaille: ok, cool [07:24] That's interesting - Flight5 doesn't seem to put icons in the desktop switcher like Breezy does [07:24] I much prefer Xchat over Xchat-gome since I actually use my user list [07:25] likewise [07:25] agreed [07:25] I've also customized XChat's right-click menus, so the stuff I actually use is easy to get to [07:26] I've also customized XChat's colours, so the screenful of text is easier to follow [07:26] hasn't xchat-gome been removed from flight 5? [07:26] it doesn't look like X-Gnome allows any of that stuff [07:26] manicka: it has, I installed it [07:26] ugh, peole on digg are taking credit for "helping" with this vuln [07:27] comments on digg don't deserve to be read, even [07:28] so there's no xchats by default anymore [07:28] digg - it's as bad as slashdot, without the entertainment of the +5 Funny comments :P [07:28] manicka: nope [07:29] interesting [07:29] Madpilot: +1 on /. === DiReCTOR [i=DiReCTOR@we1-as8385.alshamil.net.ae] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:02] hello [08:03] hi [08:03] salut DiReCTOR [08:03] a quick question, odes ubuntu supports Intel 2200 wireless card === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:04] DiReCTOR: yes, but this is not really the correct channel to ask that in [08:04] alrite, where then [08:04] DiReCTOR: /join #ubuntu === highvolt1ge [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-doc === highvolt2ge [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:05] can i ask a general question [08:06] DiReCTOR: #ubuntu is probably a better place, but go ahead...

[05:26] Kyral: http://mdke.blogspot.com/2006/03/pdf-documentation.html -> it was Matthew East (mdke) who created thse pdf's correct? [05:26] sander, I dunno [05:26] but ok, if you say so [05:26] I have been outta it for the past couple days lol [05:26] yes but if they are on the document, doc.ubuntu.com then it is something that laserjock needs to change [05:26] jjesse: I have only read the pdf [05:26] and I am not at my normal computer so I'm not checking email [05:26] oh ok [05:27] God how much email will I have to download on Sunday...

[05:43] I like Gundam as well, SEED was good, but SEED Destiny was mediocre... currently I'm following Black Cat and Mai Otome [05:43] Destiny was good until Kira took over the show [05:44] it's a bit unfortunate though that GStreamer in Dapper can't handle H.264 fansubs well, as soon as you use the seek bar it crashes.... [05:44] I got mine from Seed Fansubs [05:44] although I do admit to using w32codecs [05:46] concerning w32codecs, any way to get it working with GStreamer 0.10?

[10:04] ;) [10:05] It's got some nice new things according to the changelog [10:06] cool [10:07] I'm still trying to get the packaging guide going [10:07] jpatrick: oh, let me know when that's done. a fatal issue (for me) in beta1 has been fixed, and I've been waiting to test beta2 [10:08] trappist: today is your lucky day [10:09] LaserJock: unicode vs. html entities aren't a recognizable issue when you're just viewing a document. it gets ugly when you copy and paste or try to parse (and in some cases convert) the document. [10:09] jpatrick: awesome [10:09] ** please test amarok1.4-beta2 for Kubuntu Dapper x86 packages: http://tiber.tauware.de/~jpatrick/debs/amarok1.4-beta2/ - thanks [10:09] trappist: ah [10:10] trappist: actually I have noticed that when I was pasting from the wiki into Windows once. [10:10] I notice it pasting into irssi too. [10:12] well, we should definitely try to be as universal as we can [10:12] yeah there's that too. [10:13] so we basically need to replace all the " and ' ? [10:14] well that too, actually - that's invalid xml - but I was referring more to stuff that shows up as wacky control characters in vim, and pastes as \uXXXX [10:15] ok, so now I'm confused. What do we need to replace as what? [10:17] my original point was... open ubuntu/quicktour/quicktour.html in vim and look at the first few paragraphs, and you should see what I was referring to. [10:18] but additionally things like &, " and ' are invalid xml, but that's a separate issue. [10:18] youll be impressed. [10:18] I dunno how that shows up in your irc client, but here it's a mess. [10:19] ok, but is it a problem outside of quicktour.html? [10:20] I dunno, I haven't looked that hard [10:21] that stuff is hard to grep for [10:22] the reason I ask is I don't think we use quicktour anymore. I think it was dropped. [10:22] gah. do we have a list of stuff like that? I seem to end up spending a lot of time on stuff we don't use anymore. maybe the svn tree needs to be cleaned up? [10:22] ohh lemme! [10:22] Lemme go on a delete spree! [10:22] Kyral: heck no [10:23] damnit :P [10:23] trappist: I think it was. I think we kept it around in case we wanted it again or something. mdke_ would now *hint* ;-) [10:23] trappist: but you can also look at doc.ubuntu.com [10:23] Actually there is a program known as Kleansweap that, among other things, seeks and destroys all those pesky Emacs backup files [10:25] that should be easy with a 'find' oneliner [10:26] with vim, anyway. maybe emacs backup files are harder to identify. [10:27] jpatrick: when I hover over the systray icon the tooltip appears at the top of the screen (when my panel is at the bottom) [10:28] odd [10:29] yeah all the other ones are right. no idea if that's a packaging issue. [10:30] mm? [10:30] summarise scrollback for me? [10:30] new amaroK package [10:30] mdke_: is quicktour.html used anymore? [10:30] LaserJock, thanks. No, it's not [10:30] sorry trappist [10:31] mdke_: how to know which files not to bother with? basically I wake up in the morning and eeny-meeny-miny-mo a file to work on. [10:31] trappist, start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Projects [10:32] that _should_ be relatively up to date [10:32] trappist: eeny-meeny-miny-mo on doc.ubuntu.com ;-) [10:32] but if you fancy a good project, I think the serverguide is in need of some frenzied section contributions before string freeze [10:32] hmm i wonder how up to date that is kubuntu wise ? [10:32] jjesse, not too bad AFAIK [10:33] jerome updated it recently [10:33] hmm just noticed i wasn't subscribed to that page [10:33] erm. quicktour is on there and marked as finished. [10:33] trappist, gah. that's where the _should_ comes in... [10:33] hmm, how come me and the wiki are out by our lonesome? [10:34] I must have messed up the table when I added the Packaging Guide [10:38] LaserJock: fixed the table [10:39] and took care of some word nazi issues === mdke [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-doc === mdke sighs @ the internet === ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-doc
