crimsunok, for Edgy we need to trawl these man pages. I hate that most of them have few, if any, good examples.07:55
dsascrimsun: A good place to start would be to just grep through them for "debian",  you'll get a load of skeletal man pages that are barely a page long. 07:56
Madpilotthe thought of having to tackle a distro's worth of man pages + our regular docs is a bit much ;)07:57
crimsundsas: yeah, I'm thinking of starting with the easier ones, like gst-launch-0.1007:58
crimsun(heh, I nearly typed gst-launchpad-0.10)07:58
Madpilotcrimsun, might want to file launchpad bugs against the packages you want to change - that might make getting in touch with packagers & maintainers easier08:02
crimsunMadpilot: well, once I find time to play with gst-launch, I'll flesh out the man page more and send it upstream08:03
Madpilotgst-launch makes me think of taxes - we've got a "Goods & Services Tax" in Canada - what does it actually do? :)08:03
crimsunit's a nice cli tool for using gstreamer08:04
crimsunI use it for audio, mainly 08:04
jsgotangcoMadpilot: actually the man pages thing has been a long long goal before08:08
Madpilotah08:09
jsgotangcothere are a few manuals of apps in main that are "uncatalogued" in scrollkeeper08:09
Madpilotdon't forget that Edgy is going to be a very short cycle for release, though08:09
crimsunyeah, but I won't be spending 90% of my time doing ALSA fixes =)08:10

mdkecrimsun: how does one change the default sound card for system sounds if there is more than one?09:09
crimsunmdke: for GNOME, System> Preferences> Sound> Set default sound card's pull-down menu09:10
mdkecrimsun: I had my brother on the phone, he says that he tried that and it didn't remember the setting09:10
crimsunmdke: yeah, that's a known bug09:11
mdkecrimsun: great, cheers09:11

crimsunmdke: a workaround is to use asoundconf directly09:12
crimsunmdke: since the Sound capplet calls asoundconf for its backend work09:12
mdkecrimsun: lovely, thanks.09:13
crimsunmdke: ``asoundconf list''  returns the canonical string names; use ``asoundconf set-default-card CARD'' to set it09:13
trappist<3 asoundconf list09:14
crimsuntrappist: ^509:14
trappist:)09:14
mdkecrimsun: gottit thanks09:14
dsasLaserJock: ping09:17
LaserJockdsas: yeah?09:23
dsasYou commited r3034 on behalf of someone, and it said "firefox has auto-update which gets you latest security updates". or something similar. Ubuntu ships with firefox updates turned off.09:25
LaserJockhmm09:26
dsasI mean, presumably it can be turned back on, but it isn't like that out of the box...09:26
LaserJockok, thanks for pointing that out09:26
dsasno probs. I didn't know who Phil was to inform him directly.09:27
dsass/Phil/Pete09:30
LaserJockcbx33 over in #edubuntu :-)09:30
LaserJockhmm, but it does have an update manager. should I just take the "automatic" part out?09:32
dsasuhm, yeah. The auto-updater *does work* for extensions, but not for firefox core without messing around with about:config (I think)09:42
LaserJockso just getting rid of "automatic" should work09:43
dsasI think that'll be fine yes. I was just imagining users getting mislead...09:44
LaserJockyeah, we don't want to mislead users, but we do want to tell them the good parts :-)09:44
dsasyeah, there's a line to be walked :)09:46
mdkeLaserJock: actually last time I checked they were actually disabled09:48
mdkeso updates are done through system updates09:49
mdkemaybe it's changed09:49
LaserJockah09:49
LaserJockfine09:49
mdkeyeah "Check for updates" is greyed out09:49
LaserJocknaughty Ubuntu devs ;-)09:49
mdkewell, I think it didn't work09:50
dsasNot unless you ran firefox as root09:50
mdkeah09:50
dsaswhich for all intents and purposes is the same as it not working. I'd forgot about that.09:50
LaserJockok, I took the whole sentence out09:51
mdkejust say "firefox sucks, install epiphany"09:53
dsasmdke: +109:53
LaserJocklol, I'd be more inclined to reverse that  ;-)09:56
LaserJockepiphany has never really appealed to me, probably because I use firefox so much on Windows09:57
BurgworkLaserJock, I found it a bit of a switch and now I can;t stand fF09:59
LaserJockcool, unfortunately my most used browser is currently Safari :/09:59
dsasFirefox's menus scare me now.10:01
LaserJockwhy would you use the menus?10:01
mdkefirefox's preferences look like they were designed by some kid10:02
mdkea particularly untalented kid10:02
dsasI don't very often, but they're all so long and full of stuff. And the prefs menus are going backwards.10:02
LaserJockhmm10:02
