linuxmonkeymdke: arent u supposed to be working or be at work12:35
linuxmonkeylol12:35
mdkeat midnight?12:35
linuxmonkeyoh i thought u had to work right now..lol12:35
mdkeno, thankfully not12:36
Burgworklinuxmonkey, no, thats me :)12:36
mdkelinuxmonkey: smaller screenshots would definitely be good12:36
linuxmonkeyyeah 12:37
linuxmonkeythats i can do thats no prob12:37
theCoremdke: sweet page, btw12:38
linuxmonkeyother than the big imges what u think mdke12:39
mdkethanks. I just realised I was posting about this all over the place, but hadn't got my thoughts organised in one place, and i thought it would help me think12:39
mdkelinuxmonkey: looks good. There are a couple of typos and the table of contents is a bit weird (only one section), but it looks fine to me. I'll leave more detailed comments to the kubuntu guys12:40
theCoremdke: do you a blogging software, or you're writing all this by hand?12:40
mdkewell, I write the posts by hand...12:40
linuxmonkeyyeah the table of content is there cause there's more going into it12:40
mdkethe blog software is pyblosxom, with static html12:40
mdkelinuxmonkey: ah, great12:41
mdkelinuxmonkey: in kde do you really have to run adept like that? It doesn't have a menu entry?12:41
nixternaljust do the echo >> trick...adept = to slow for me12:42
linuxmonkeyyeah there;s a few adept in the menu12:42
linuxmonkeythere's and adept installer too so not to confuse people the run command is easyest12:42
linuxmonkeymdke:  the typo's i think should be fixed now12:45

theCoremdke: Hmm, it would be a great challenge to merge all the documention scattered around the communities12:47
mdkeyeah, wishful thinking maybe12:47
theCoremdke: but, it worth to try12:47
theCorewishful thinking, I like that expression12:47
linuxmonkeymdke: it probably easyer to start fresh.lol sad to say12:47
theCorelinuxmonkey: I don't think so12:47
mdkewe have social barriers though at the moment. I'm hoping that if we take the lead with the help.ubuntu.com site, we can encourage collaboration by inspiring it12:48
theCoremdke: the main problem is not everyone has the same skills12:48
mdketrue, that's not a problem, but an advantage, if you look at it right12:49
theCoremdke: some peoples, even if they know the answer to a problem, won't write a doc about it 12:50
mdkeof course. That's fine12:50
theCoremdke: simply because, they aren't confortable with Docbook, or the Wiki12:50
=== linuxmonkey launches gimp to edit those pics to make em smaller

mvirkkilmdke: http://iquaid.livejournal.com/12:51
mvirkkilmdke: fyi: the testwiki is broken atm.12:51
theCoremdke: although, what we should do is to provider a uniform layer over all the docs. Like giving the ``Render as Docbook'' option for the Wiki12:52
mdkemvirkkil: looking12:53
mdketheCore: yes, that is a very exciting project (you know mvirkkil is the author, right?)12:53

mdkehenrik is so sharp12:55
mdkehis ideas always turn out to be way ahead of the rest12:55
mvirkkiltheCore: I did the initial version then, it got a few patches (that broke the docbook)12:55
theCorehehe12:56
mvirkkilI'm just a code monkey, doing what is asked of him ;)12:56
mdkemvirkkil: what does your mentor do?12:56
mvirkkilmdke: He's on the docteam. He's not a coder, so patrik barnes (nman) helpes with technical stuff.12:57
mvirkkilmdke: I suppose he's your equivalent afaic in fedora.12:57
mdkethat's his job, or he is a volunteer?12:58
theCorethere is a lot of howtos on forums, it would be great to bring them all into a single authoritative source12:58
mvirkkilmdke: I think it's his job. 12:58

=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mvirkkilI wonder on what basis it's decided how many projects an org get to have01:13
mvirkkilbecausewhen you compare ubuntus list to fedoras, it just seems odd.01:14
mdkecrazy, in fact01:14
theCoremvirkkil: I think it depend of the size of the organisation, Google gives to each org. a limit of projects they can have01:15
mdkethat doesn't justify the difference between Ubuntu and Fedora01:16
mdkeUbuntu has more than it can justifiably handle01:17
mdkefedora has 501:17
theCoremaybe, fedora had less interesting project submitted to them, I don't know01:20
theCoreor maybe, Google likes Ubuntu better01:20

mdkeyes, that must be the answer01:21
mdkewell, who can blame them, Ubuntu rocks01:21
theCoreLaserJock: yeah, I heard about it :)01:23
theCoreLaserJock: I got a question for you01:23
theCoreLaserJock: do you think the MOTU would accept a package of emacs-snapshot?01:24
LaserJockumm, isn't there already one?01:27
LaserJocktheCore: did you want to tweak the current snapshot package?01:28
theCoreLaserJock: yeah, but it's quite outdated01:28
LaserJockof course it is, we froze01:28
theCoreLaserJock: well, I would like to replace it with a newer version01:28
LaserJockor is that not the issue01:28
LaserJocktheCore: the one from June 2nd that is in Debian isn't new enough?01:30
theCoreLaserJock: their package is from the HEAD trunk, mine is from the XFT_JHD_BRANCH01:31
theCoreLaserJock: maybe, I should do what Seveas does, build myself a personal repository01:32
LaserJocktheCore: that is probably more likely than getting it into universe01:33
LaserJockyou could always try to convince Debian to use the XFT_JHD_BRANCH01:33

theCoreWe could separate the whole Wiki into a few sections. ( devel, troubleshooting, artwork, ideas, etc ) Each could have their own color "personally", so they would be easy to recognize them02:33
LaserJockhmm, except devel, artowork, and ideas don't sound like documentation02:34

=== crimsun kills his 'sound' highlight
LaserJockcrimsun: you can't do that now that you're core-dev02:35

theCorewell, how we could solve this?02:39
LaserJockI don't know but we are smart people. I'm guessing hard work02:42
theCoreone way could to propose a StyleGuide for the wiki, but would stupid simply because less peoples would want to write wiki docs.02:43
theCoreanother way, would to separate the Wiki pages categorically, so peoples could inspire them-self  with the other similiar docs02:45

nixternalBurgundavia: i use it, but not on Hoary. I have it on Xubuntu, Nubuntu, and Kubuntu laptops..with the orinoco chipset04:12
Burgundavianixternal: can you cleanup and merge those pages? grab a hoary install and play04:13
nixternalsure04:13
nixternalim sure it isn't much different...the one main thing with kismet to get it running is a simple config fix..especially for orinoco04:13

nixternalgrabbing breezy and hoary Burgundavia, ubuntu style, I use Kubuntu, so for Dapper I don't think their is a difference in setup between Ubuntu and Kubuntu..since Kismet runs in a terminal04:41
Burgundavianixternal: yep04:41
nixternalhehe..gotta tear up my hacktop for this one 04:41
Burgundaviatry and emphasize graphic tools though04:41
nixternalok..so try to stay away from the sudo apt-get's04:42
nixternalif that is so..then it will be real easy to do this. Since Kismet is in the repositories04:42
=== robitaille_ [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc
=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc
nixternalanother question is do we need to stick with the Hoary and Breezy on this, as I believe that a repository install is going to be the same for each setup. 04:44
nixternalthis could be made small and to the point really...its as simple as $ sudo apt-get install kismet04:44
nixternalthen sudo nano /etc/kismet/something.conf04:44
Burgundaviait should talk about hoary/breezy and dapper04:44
nixternalhopefully i can repository install with hoary and breezy also..i kno wi can with breezy..at least with hoary i hope so04:45
Burgundaviacool04:45
Burgundaviathen redirect those pages to something generic, like OrinocoKismet04:45
nixternalya...i was going to recommend a name change04:46
Burgundaviaoh, btw, can you split out the orinoco parts?04:46
Burgundavianixternal: that talks about installing a network card and then sniffing no?04:46
nixternalnot really..each wifi card is different...there are only a handful of cards that will work with kismet04:46
Burgundaviaah, ok04:46
Burgundaviadoes orinoco work ootb?04:47
nixternalfor breezy and dapper yes04:47
nixternali will see with hoary04:47
Burgundaviacan you abstract it to just a kismet page?04:47
nixternalthis page has so much stuff...it is pretty much Orinoco04:47
Burgundaviamaybe Kismet/Orinoco at most04:47
nixternalKismet/Orinoco would be decent, but he also has Wifi Radar and iwlist in here also04:47
Burgundaviaugh, can that be decently split out?04:48
nixternalthis is like a HackWirelessWithOrinoco04:48
nixternalLOL04:48
nixternalI haven't seen Wifi Radar in a while either04:48
nixternalus wireless guys us Kismet at times...but rely on airsnort and aircrack for most work04:49
nixternalBurgundavia: tell you what i can do, is i can work this up with kate, and then show you my proposal, and we can go from there. how does that sound?04:50
Burgundaviasounds good04:50

nixternalBurgundavia: hoary has also detected the card and initialised dhcp from the get go...what should i do??  Kismet is in the repositories. It should install on Hoary, Breezy, and Dapper from the repositories. So the only real thing that would need to be done is the Kismet.conf05:19

nixternalhowever, I am going to commit with Hoary to confirm this05:20

nixternali found an old version of kismet in the hoary multiverse repos...and i mean old...i could go ahead and utilize the information on the wiki already..just clean it up and make it user friendly as much as possible07:08
Burgundaviacan you not use that releases repos?07:08
Burgundaviahow old? does it work?07:09
nixternalold..and no it doesn't work07:09
nixternali think for hoary..utilize the current information...and rework it/clean it...and then upgrade the breezy/dapper versions07:09
Burgundaviahmm07:09
nixternalit isn't a pretty process for hoary, but it works07:10
Burgundaviaok07:10
nixternalwhen i say pretty..i mean not graphical...all terminal07:10
=== Burgundavia is glad Hoary is dying in 6 months
nixternalkismet is a terminal program anyways07:10
nixternalarg..can this wait 6 months LOL07:10
Burgundaviathen just don't mention hoary07:11
nixternalhow many users do you think is still utilizing hoary with an orinoco card and is interested in hacking wireless...or sniffing it at least?07:11
Burgundaviatalk about breezy and dapper07:11
nixternalLOL07:11
nixternali blew out my kubuntu install for that ;)07:11
nixternali only use my lappy for testing..so i don't care07:11
nixternalit is installing while im working on other stuff..so it is cool...i will work with breezy and dapper then07:12
nixternalplus the orinoco chipset is old...being replaced with atheros, prismIII and broadcoms..plus ralink here and there07:12
nixternalorinoco is the original wireless chipset i believe..outdating prism1 and atheros07:13
nixternali will say this however concerning hoary on this laptop...it is way fast compared to everything i have put on it ;)07:13
Burgundaviahmm, dapper has been the fastest I have used07:14
Burgundaviahoary is faster than breezy to install and use07:14
nixternalon my main systems yes..my lappy is old celeron 700 with 192mb ram and a mobile rage 2 card07:14
Burgundaviaah07:14
nixternal10gb hard drive that is close to dying ;)07:14
Burgundaviaeven then, dapper should be fater07:14
Burgundaviafaster07:14
nixternaldapper is fast..but hoary is faster07:15
dsasnixternal: I still have an orinoco chipset. I have to use the CVS version because it's USB and then it's still dodgy.07:18
mvirkkilnixternal: I have an even slower laptop (650Mhz, 128MB), and I agree. 07:18
nixternaloooh..i got ya by 50mhz mvirkkil07:18
mvirkkilIt's really easy to go from just surfing along, to swapping hell...07:18
nixternalusb wifi = dodgy in every os there is07:19
mvirkkilI think that dapper might be faster if I had just a little more memory on this thing.07:19
dsasnixternal: It seemed fine to me when I used it in windows tbh. Maybe I wasn't using it long enough to experience problems though.07:20
mvirkkilBut the swapping is really killing the overall experience. Oh, and accidentally hitting f1 starts yelp 07:20
nixternali had previously used a linksys usb wifi setup...it would work, but i had issues with intermittence...plus my area is a wifi hotspot and then some07:20
mvirkkilwhich makes the laptop unusable for >1minute as it's loading, and then 30seconds more as it's closing.07:21
nixternali am sitting here with airsnort running and i have 21 access points to choose from...and those are neighbors..i have 3 access points..so 18 aren't mine07:21

froudtrappist: I knew of Instanbul but when I last used it it was doing ogg I think06:24
trappistogg is nice too06:24
froudtrappist: my customer wanted avi because they had to show windows users how to do stuff06:25
froudbefore they move to Linux desktops06:25

froudAnyone tried potace http://potrace.sourceforge.net/ could be a nice way to use SVG instead of PNG in repo and generate PNG at time of build?06:50
jjesserandom thought, but i hate fruit on the bottom yogurt always seem to have the fruit last and it doesn't mix up good06:50
froudWhich in tern will enable l18n of screenshots to be done using the poxml process06:50
froudput the yogurt upside down in the fridge, that way you will always have the fruit on top06:51
nixternaljjesse: i second that about the fruit06:51
mgalvinfroud: i haven't tried it but it certainly sounds like a neat idea06:51
jjessefroud: never thoght about that06:51

LinuxMonkeymdke: can you check out https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuAddingRepositoriesHowto  and let me know what you think, I reduced the size of the images by 50% as per your recommendation for smaller images and made a few changes as recommended in the mailling list11:07
mdkeBurgwork: don't ask11:08

Burgworkdigg, the stupidity of the crowd11:10
Burgworknow that it is a wiki, we can edit it to our needs11:10
LinuxMonkeyyeah please reffer to..... on every page11:11
mdkeLinuxMonkey: the formatting seems a bit odd, more space between the images and the text? also, the lines of text appear very short in comparison to the page. And I would nuke the table of contents, where there is only one title in each level, it doesn't help much 11:11
LinuxMonkeyand point it to our official pages11:11
Burgworkremove the bad stuff, like killing the panel11:12
mdkeBurgwork: we don't have the resources to work on all the unofficial wikis around though11:12
Burgworkno, we don't, but this one is big enough11:12
LaserJockI've just about had it with documentation, tbh11:13
Burgworkheh11:13
mdkeLaserJock: eh?11:13
mdkedon't say that!11:13

BurgworkI don't love docs for some cycles and for some I do11:13
mdkeheh11:14
LaserJockI don't mind sticking to my little PG and UDR, but the large scale wiki and grand scheme documentation stuff is just getting to be too much11:14
