mlalkaka | i have an idea for the ubuntu wiki: we should create a page called UbuntuTutorials. On that page, as you probably expect, there would be tutorials on how to use Ubuntu Linux. but the tutorials should be video tutorials (with a narrator). programs like xvidcap or istanbul could be used to record the audio/video, and we could save it in ogg theora, so there are no patent problems. | 05:46 |
---|---|---|
mlalkaka | what do you people think? | 05:46 |
LaserJock | hmm, sounds like a lot of bandwith but it could be kinda fun | 05:49 |
Burgundavia | that would be a great idea | 05:50 |
robotgeek | mlalkaka: yup. | 05:50 |
Burgundavia | why not use byznaz instead? | 05:50 |
Burgundavia | that gets us gifs, and can actually be a wiki page | 05:51 |
robotgeek | i guess someone needs to start off with a tutorial on how to make those videos | 05:51 |
mlalkaka | Burgundavia, i haven't heard of it until now. | 05:51 |
Burgundavia | mlalkaka: byznaz is a screen recorder, that makes gifs | 05:52 |
Burgundavia | it is fairly new | 05:52 |
mgalvin | could someone ping me for a screenshot on the flight 6 review? | 05:53 |
trappist | my kingdom for one that makes mpegs | 05:53 |
Burgundavia | trappist: mpegs are non-free | 05:53 |
Burgundavia | ogg or gif (ick) only | 05:53 |
Burgundavia | likely flash | 05:53 |
mlalkaka | Burgundavia, that would work well | 05:53 |
trappist | aren't gifs patent-encumbered? | 05:54 |
trappist | or that expired | 05:54 |
robotgeek | yeah, that too :) | 05:54 |
mlalkaka | mgalvin, i'll ping you; what's your ip? | 05:54 |
Burgundavia | gifs are no longer patent encumber, I believ | 05:54 |
robotgeek | http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html | 05:54 |
mlalkaka | i think the Unisys' patent expired in 2003. | 05:54 |
mgalvin | mlalkaka: i mean just send me a message with my nick in it like you just did, i need a notification screenshot, but i need to have the window minimized first | 05:55 |
mlalkaka | oh ok | 05:55 |
mgalvin | send a little msg in like 5 sec | 05:55 |
Burgundavia | mlalkaka: various patents expire at various times | 05:55 |
mlalkaka | mgalvin, How are you today? | 05:56 |
mgalvin | mlalkaka: great thanks! :) | 05:56 |
mlalkaka | mgalvin, no prob. | 05:56 |
mlalkaka | Burgundavia, do you know byznaz's website? | 05:56 |
Burgundavia | mlalkaka: no, but is available in dapper | 05:57 |
Burgundavia | it likely doesn't have one | 05:57 |
mgalvin | mlalkaka: just sudo apt-get install byznaz | 05:58 |
mgalvin | there is not site | 05:58 |
mgalvin | just byznaz --help | 05:58 |
mgalvin | it works well, it used it for... | 05:58 |
mlalkaka | i'm still running breezy, and it's not in breezy repositories | 05:58 |
mgalvin | https://www-master.ubuntu.com/testing/flight5#head-d0b765295e82254f427c986d82e19149909ba70f | 05:58 |
mgalvin | ah | 05:58 |
robotgeek | mgalvin: auth | 05:59 |
mgalvin | oops | 05:59 |
mgalvin | http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight5#head-d0b765295e82254f427c986d82e19149909ba70f | 05:59 |
mlalkaka | but what about sound? we'll need a narrator | 05:59 |
mgalvin | gifs could be used for the more simple things and demos and such just to keep size down, you would still need ogg or something for those | 06:00 |
mlalkaka | mgalvin, i'm guessing you used it for the shutdown sequence? how did you shutdown sequence, though? xnest? | 06:01 |
mgalvin | in vmware player, or you could use qemu | 06:02 |
mgalvin | i just use vmware player b/c its free now and much faster than qemu | 06:02 |
Burgundavia | mlalkaka: sound would be nice, but not critical | 06:02 |
Burgundavia | mlalkaka: plus once you involve sound, it gets more difficult to produce and thus more time and thus is unlikely to be done | 06:03 |
mlalkaka | Burgundavia, lol true | 06:03 |
mlalkaka | mgalvin, what's the difference between vmware player and vmware? | 06:03 |
trappist | you can't make new vms or modify the vm in the player | 06:04 |
mgalvin | mlalkaka: vmware player only plays existing images | 06:04 |
mgalvin | but you can create the images with qemu | 06:05 |
=== mgalvin breaks out more wiki pages | ||
mgalvin | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VMwarePlayerAndQemu | 06:05 |
Burgundavia | vmware player is evil | 06:06 |
Burgundavia | we should not be producing documtation with that | 06:06 |
mlalkaka | Burgundavia, we won't have to, don't worry. i was just asking out of curiosity | 06:06 |
=== mlalkaka loves wikis | ||
mgalvin | only semi evil, i just don't normally have time to wait around to qemu, even on 64 bit machines its slow | 06:11 |
Burgundavia | qemu is slow | 06:11 |
Burgundavia | installing extra software for help == very very bad | 06:11 |
Burgundavia | regardless of it status | 06:11 |
mgalvin | i know, i know | 06:12 |
mgalvin | if its any consolation, i do use qemu when i am not pressed for time :) | 06:13 |
Burgundavia | let me get you a screencast of the deskbar at work | 06:13 |
mgalvin | go for it, that would be great | 06:13 |
robotgeek | Burgundavia: that would be nice to see | 06:13 |
robotgeek | i just love konqueror's features. plus io slaves in kde are just awesome | 06:14 |
mlalkaka | what do you think the first tutorial should be? | 06:15 |
robotgeek | how to make a screencast :) | 06:15 |
mgalvin | i was thinking of adding some kubuntu and edubuntu stuff to DapperFlight6 this time around, any opinions? | 06:15 |
mgalvin | robotgeek: good choice :) | 06:15 |
mgalvin | +1 | 06:16 |
robotgeek | mgalvin: +1 on the (edu)/kubuntu stuff, if it doesn't clutter | 06:16 |
=== mgalvin hints that flight 6 will be tomorrow | ||
mgalvin | yea, i don't want it to be a big mess | 06:16 |
robotgeek | mgalvin: even for kubuntu? | 06:17 |
Burgundavia | mgalvin: I wouldn't | 06:17 |
Burgundavia | you get a diluted marketing effect | 06:17 |
Burgundavia | is: People wondering which piece is for which deriv | 06:18 |
Burgundavia | however, Kubuntu | 06:18 |
Burgundavia | a seperate page for Kubuntu and Edubuntu would be great | 06:18 |
crimsun | F6 tomorrow? Geez I hope not. 2.6.15-19.29 can't go out in F6. | 06:18 |

mgalvin | mlalkaka: yup | 06:22 |
mgalvin | on wiki.ubuntu.com, yes | 06:22 |
mlalkaka | mgalvin, how? | 06:23 |
Burgundavia | mlalkaka: just go the page you want to create and click edit | 06:23 |
mlalkaka | lol oh | 06:24 |
Burgundavia | mgalvin: got a deskbar screencast, should I upload it? | 06:25 |
mgalvin | robotgeek, crimsun: thats not a hard date, just a possible target date, if something is that broken it will probably be toward the end of the week, we shall see, the flights kindda happen whenever its ready | 06:25 |
mgalvin | Burgundavia: great, thanks, go ahead | 06:26 |
mgalvin | Burgundavia: and... good point... i will not include k/edu stuff | 06:26 |
Burgundavia | mgalvin: how do I get gifs to cycle? | 06:28 |
Burgundavia | can I edit that in the gimp? | 06:28 |
mgalvin | Burgundavia: well i used byzanz with -l and set cords | 06:30 |
mgalvin | Burgundavia | 06:30 |
mgalvin | byzanz-record -l ... | 06:30 |
Burgundavia | ah, -l | 06:31 |
Burgundavia | hmm, I ticked "search Yahoo", but it doesnt' seem to be doing it | 06:32 |
Burgundavia | oh, wait it takes a second | 06:33 |

robotgeek | Burgundavia: ah, okay | 06:38 |
robotgeek | thanks, looks neat. kio-beagle in konqueror is also convienient | 06:40 |
Burgundavia | mgalvin: the theme just changed, so you might want to reshot the screenshots | 06:43 |
Burgundavia | mgalvin: I would also point you at ReportingBugs for the section on repoting bugs | 06:44 |
Burgundavia | mlalkaka: do you have an idea for a good first screencast? | 06:45 |
robotgeek | Burgundavia: i'm sorry, i lost the link to byznaz | 06:45 |
Burgundavia | robotgeek: apt-get install byzanz | 06:45 |
robotgeek | i keep mistyping the thing | 06:46 |
mlalkaka | Burgundavia, robotgeek had the idea to make a screencast about making screencasts, so that the community can start contributing as soon as possible. | 06:46 |
Burgundavia | not certain that is the sort of thing that needs to be screencast | 06:46 |
Burgundavia | but I could document the way I made this screencast | 06:47 |
mgalvin | Burgundavia: i pulled that reporting bugs content from DapperReleaseNotes, but anyway, that is a good start page, i will change it | 06:49 |
Burgundavia | ReportingBugs does need some cleanup | 06:49 |
mlalkaka | Burgundavia, ok. well i think the first thing a new user needs to do (at least for many things), is to add the universe and multiverse repositories. a user who installed from cd would also need to change main and restricted repositories to the up-to-date internet repositories. | 06:49 |
mgalvin | bah, i thought i got ubuntulook 10... is it really that different | 06:49 |
Burgundavia | mgalvin: it just changed | 06:51 |
mgalvin | Burgundavia: what are the rev numbers, i didn't see the Accepted msg go by? | 06:52 |
Burgundavia | hmm | 06:52 |
Burgundavia | you might be right | 06:52 |

Madpilot | Burgundavia, so does that searchbar thing in Dapper only use Yahoo search for web stuff? Can you point it to other search engines instead? | 08:44 |
Burgundavia | Madpilot: yes, you can use google, but you need a key | 08:45 |
Burgundavia | each user has to generate that key | 08:45 |
Burgundavia | and deskbar needs nice way of graphically taking that key, as currently you need to hack some stuff | 08:46 |

janimo | there are some people interested in keeping xubuntu-docs there | 09:47 |
Burgundavia | janimo: the general rule is patches then access, but if someone has some work elsewhere we can look it, we can accelerate the process | 09:48 |
janimo | Burgundavia: thanks I'll tell the person to come to this channel and talk about it | 09:49 |
Burgundavia | janimo: thanks | 09:49 |
Madpilot | given that we have no xubuntu-docs in our SVN at all AFAIK, patches would be kind of hard... :P | 09:49 |

luzi | you can check out a 'demo' at http://www.doink.ch/xubuntu-doc/build/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html | 10:04 |

luzi | and a tarball at http://www.doink.ch/xubuntu-doc/xubuntu-doc-firststeps.tar.gz | 10:04 |
robotgeek | luzi: looks nice, but if it needs to go out with dapper, the string freeze is april 6th | 10:05 |
luzi | oh. that's very little time, i'm afraid... | 10:06 |
Burgwork | luzi, yes. You might be able to a specific exemption for it | 10:08 |
robotgeek | luzi: i think you might want to mail the list with this link | 10:08 |
luzi | ok, i'll mail to the list then. | 10:08 |
luzi | so do i just wait for someone to put in svn, and then send patches? | 10:09 |
luzi | i'm kinda new to all this... | 10:09 |
trappist | Burgwork: lemme know if you still need a printer god | 10:10 |
robotgeek | luzi: well, the general procedure is that someone will put it in the repository and you will keep sending in patches | 10:10 |
luzi | ok, and how about images? for example, i modified the 'admon' pictures, because they were renedered against a white background. | 10:12 |
robotgeek | luzi: admon? | 10:15 |
luzi | i mean the images for 'caution', 'important', 'tip', ... in ubuntu-doc/common/admon | 10:16 |
robotgeek | luzi: no a good idea, the rest of the docs use those | 10:16 |
robotgeek | luzi: you can have images elsewhere tho | 10:17 |
luzi | yeah, but i think duplicating the images wouldn't make sense. instead, they 'common' images should be rendered against a transparent background, which would suit everyone. | 10:19 |
luzi | s/they/the/ | 10:19 |
robotgeek | luzi: include that also in your email to the list :) i have no clue about images/transparency related issues | 10:21 |

mdke | I'm not so sure the string freeze will necessarily have to apply for an xubuntu doc | 11:06 |
mdke | there's no indication that edubuntu is going to be bound by it, so there's no reason xubuntu should too, unless they want to translate the documentation | 11:07 |
mdke | luzi, ^ | 11:07 |

luzi | ok, good. | 11:12 |
luzi | i don't think there's going to be translation for a while. | 11:13 |
mdke | you haven't used much of the ubuntu desktop guide, perhaps you can copy some more of it | 11:14 |
mdke | nice start though | 11:14 |
mdke | where's the code? | 11:15 |
robotgeek | luzi: also look at kubuntu :) | 11:15 |
robotgeek | i copied over lot of stuff from ubuntu desktop guide (udg) | 11:15 |
luzi | thanks! you can get the code at http://www.doink.ch/xubuntu-doc/xubuntu-doc-firststeps.tar.gz | 11:16 |
mdke | luzi, is anyone else helping you out? | 11:16 |
luzi | yeah, i hope to copy quite a bit of the good stuff from ubuntu and kubuntu desktop guide. | 11:16 |
luzi | not at the moment, but i hope to get some more people aboard, once the stuff is set up. | 11:16 |
mdke | transparent admon files would be much appreciated | 11:18 |
=== mdke catches up on scrollback | ||
Skirka | where would i find if my graphics card is supported under ubuntu | 11:22 |
mdke | Skirka, best to search the wiki or forums | 11:22 |
luzi | mdke, the transparent images would have to be done by the person who created them. | 11:23 |
luzi | because in the PNG file, the layers are lost. | 11:24 |
mdke | I have no idea where the files came from | 11:24 |
mdke | I looked recently, and didn't find it | 11:24 |
luzi | i made a quick hack, which will work for backgrounds which are close to white. it's here: http://www.doink.ch/xubuntu-doc/transparent-admon.tar.gz | 11:25 |
mdke | you rock | 11:25 |
mdke | we might have to remake icons then I suppose | 11:25 |
mdke | know anyone who likes that sort of thing? | 11:26 |
luzi | nope | 11:26 |
mdke | so do your icons work on complete white? | 11:26 |
luzi | yes, they should look exactly the same as before on a white background. | 11:28 |
=== mdke nods | ||
luzi | i'm slowly starting to get the hang of the GIMP ... :o) | 11:30 |
mdke | :) ok I'm off, see you around | 11:31 |
luzi | bye | 11:32 |
