LaserJockI just installed a Moin Desktop Edition on my laptop, now I have my own little personal wiki12:55
LaserJockhmm, the GUI editor is sweet12:57
Madpilotcheck Tomboy out - it's a mini-wiki/notes app for Gnome, quite cool01:00
LaserJockyeah, I use it quite a bit01:01
LaserJockI'm thinking of trying to get the department sys admin to add a wiki for the new Chemistry Graduate Student Association at my uni01:02
LaserJockso I was checking Moin out01:02

mgalvinLaserJock: 1.3.something04:01
LaserJockmgalvin: hmm, ok04:03
LaserJockmgalvin: 1.5 seem pretty sweet04:03
LaserJockthe GUI editor and "render as Docbook" as especially sweet for Ubuntu I think04:03
robwhat program is this?04:04
LaserJockyou have to moin04:04
robah04:04
LaserJocksorry, that should be just moin04:04
robnew version?04:04
robhow clean is the Docbook it outputs?04:05
LaserJockrob: looked good to me. just go to http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ and click on "More Actions"04:05
robhave you guys seen http://live.gnome.org/LiveDocumentationEditing ?04:05
LaserJockI think Corey has been drooling over that ;-)04:06
robyeah, I was talking to the guy behind it, it was done as part of Google's summer of code04:07
mgalvinLaserJock: 1.5 is nice but the problem is that our moin has been customized (especially the main www.ubuntu.com site) and it is not a straight forward upgrade :-/04:08
robI was thinking about messing around/Ubuntu-izing it04:08
LaserJockmgalvin: ah, makes sense04:09
LaserJockI just installed a DesktopEdition on my laptop and got the ubuntuized theme install. quite cool04:09
LaserJockI took me all of 10 min. to install it, fire it up, get some themes. And I didn't have a clue about it to start with04:12
LaserJockthat is pretty impressive to me04:12

jsgotangcorobitaille: ping?07:55
robitaillejsgotangco:  pong07:55
jsgotangcohi07:55
jsgotangcorobitaille: how are you able to run n-m?07:56
robitailleit just works for me07:56
jsgotangcoi got n-m and the gnome package07:56
jsgotangconothing appears on my notification list07:56
robitaillemaybe you have to start "nm-applet" manually the first time around07:56
jsgotangcothere07:56
robitaillethen it will be in your session for future logins07:57
jsgotangcothere's an nm-applet in startup sessions though07:57
robotgeeknm-applet --sm-disable is better07:57
jsgotangcorobotgeek: that's what's in sessions07:57
jsgotangconothing seems to happen when i try to invoke it07:58
jsgotangcoshould it be sudo?07:58
robotgeekjsgotangco: hmm, no sude07:58
robotgeeksudo07:58
jsgotangcoit just hangs07:58
robotgeekjsgotangco: you are going to hate me for this, but restart once :)07:59
robitaillebut tonight I did lose the applet for a while after putting the laptop to sleep.  But it sorted itself out after a reboot.07:59
jsgotangcoive already restarted twice07:59
robotgeeki used to run nm in breezy, i don;t run it anymore07:59
jsgotangcoi got network-manager and network-manager-gnome installed07:59
jsgotangcothere's another nm-applet not installed but i think this is just a transition package07:59
robotgeekjsgotangco: tail -f /var/log/syslog08:00
robitaillejsgotangco:  you have to remove "nm-applet"08:00
jsgotangcoits not installed08:00
jsgotangcorobotgeek: i get some gconf stuff08:00
robitailleI'm about to start installing flight 6...so in a hour or so I'll see if I have to do any special magic to get it working on my laptop08:01
jsgotangcoim now in flight 608:01
jsgotangcoits not installed by default08:01
robitaillemy first attempt at expresso08:01
jsgotangcomy startup program has nm-applet --sm-disable though08:02
jsgotangcoshould i try removing it then restart?08:02
jsgotangcothen manually invoke it?08:02
robotgeekhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperNetworkManager08:02
jsgotangconm-applet is running though but where08:03
jsgotangcohmm08:03
robitaillewhy don't you kill it...remove it from your session manager, then reboot.  It should restart by itself08:04
jsgotangcorobotgeek: removing interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces is quite hackish to be useful08:06
robotgeeki did not have to do it in breezy though08:06
jsgotangcowe're in dapper :P08:07
robotgeekjsgotangco: maybe to avoid conflict with the gnome tool? not sure08:07
jsgotangcoin breezy, nm-applet just starts by itself though08:07
robitaillejsgotangco:  I had to remove my wired interface in /etc/network/interfaces  so that nm can manage it...it's a new Dapper thing08:07
jsgotangcoi would guess so08:07
jsgotangcoekkk08:07
jsgotangcook let me try that08:07
jsgotangcoi still have to modprobe my ipw just to be able to reboot though08:08
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcorobitaille: killing the session the editing /etc/network/interfaces seemed to work though08:14
robitaillegood.  Still not user friendly, isn't it :)08:16
jsgotangcoi have to try wpa though08:19
robitaillethat should work out of the box now08:19
robitailleonly wpa...not wpa2.  My router had both choices08:19
jsgotangcoah same here08:19
robitailleand I never managed to get wpa2 to work.08:19
jsgotangcohmmm08:21
jsgotangcoi still have to go to console to turn on my wired ethernet though08:21
robitaillethat works fine here.  I just did it a few minutes ago08:22
jsgotangcoi don't have to go to System -> Administration -> Networking anymore right?08:23
robitailleno; I never use it anymore.  that take care of /etc/network/interfaces, which should be nearly empty now except for the lo interface08:24
jsgotangcook one more test08:27
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcohmmm08:31
jsgotangcorobitaille: everything i start, it asks for my keyring password before connecting?08:31
robitailleyes...annoying but normal08:34
robitaillenm keeps your wpa password in the keyring.  Install gnome-keyring-manager to access it08:34
robitailleI'm back on my laptop...my 1st expresso install ever :)08:35
jsgotangcoit works?08:36
=== jsgotangco never tried those livecds
robitailleyep it worked. 08:37
robitailleexcept for the laptop not rebooting at the end of the install; I had to turn it off/on manually08:38
jsgotangcomine doesn't reboot at all, the wireless is not being unloaded08:39
robitailleIf you start gnome-terminal, do you get a little message about the need to use "sudo" for administrative commands?08:40
jsgotangcoyeah08:40
robitaillethat's anoying...I wonder where it comes from to turn it off08:40
jsgotangcowell i think you only get that for the first time08:40
jsgotangcobecause now i dont get it08:41
robitailleoh...I logged out, and logged back in, and it is still there for every gnome-term I open08:42
robitaillenow it's time to reinstall nm08:43
robitaillethe backports are gone from a default sources.list?08:45
jsgotangcoi didnt notice it at all08:46
jsgotangcook now to test other stuff08:50

mdkecool11:04
Burgundaviahighvoltage, thanks. Are you actively hacking on it right now?11:05
highvoltageBurgundavia: kind of, i only started with it on friday evening, so it's still a bit raw11:05
Madpilotmdke, I just had a quick look at converting our browser startpage to XHTML Strict, and it turned out to be a matter of changing four or five tags only11:05
highvoltageBurgundavia: just a sec...11:05
Madpilot(I love Screem when it works...)11:06
highvoltageBurgundavia: i'm moving it here: http://proto.edubuntu.org/gettingstarted11:06
highvoltageBurgundavia: if you create an account on the proto site, then we could work a bit easier collaboratively on it11:06
highvoltage(still busy uploading, so you'll notice the images are missing)11:07
Burgundaviahighvoltage, ok, I will hack the text there11:07
Burgundaviatrappist, did you ever get docudo working?11:07
Burgundaviapersonally, I think docudo is the way forward11:07
mdkeMadpilot, cool: if you have time, that would be cool. But it's not that essential, so don't go out of your way to do it11:09
Madpilotmdke, I've just done it, I'll commit it in about a minute 11:09
Burgundaviahighvoltage, the one issue with having it there is hardcopy11:09
MadpilotCommitted revision 2706.11:11
highvoltageBurgundavia: yep11:12
mdkeMadpilot, rock11:12
mdkethanks dude11:12
Burgundaviahighvoltage, do you have plans for that or do we need to keep a seperate copy in the doc repos?11:12
Madpilotno problem - it was already XHTML Trans, so moving it up to Strict was easy11:12
