mdke | at midnight? | 12:35 |
linuxmonkey | oh i thought u had to work right now..lol | 12:35 |
mdke | no, thankfully not | 12:36 |
Burgwork | linuxmonkey, no, thats me :) | 12:36 |
mdke | linuxmonkey: smaller screenshots would definitely be good | 12:36 |
linuxmonkey | yeah | 12:37 |
linuxmonkey | thats i can do thats no prob | 12:37 |
theCore | mdke: sweet page, btw | 12:38 |
linuxmonkey | other than the big imges what u think mdke | 12:39 |
mdke | thanks. 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 think | 12:39 |
mdke | linuxmonkey: 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 guys | 12:40 |
theCore | mdke: do you a blogging software, or you're writing all this by hand? | 12:40 |
mdke | well, I write the posts by hand... | 12:40 |
linuxmonkey | yeah the table of content is there cause there's more going into it | 12:40 |
mdke | the blog software is pyblosxom, with static html | 12:40 |
mdke | linuxmonkey: ah, great | 12:41 |
mdke | linuxmonkey: in kde do you really have to run adept like that? It doesn't have a menu entry? | 12:41 |
nixternal | just do the echo >> trick...adept = to slow for me | 12:42 |
linuxmonkey | yeah there;s a few adept in the menu | 12:42 |
linuxmonkey | there's and adept installer too so not to confuse people the run command is easyest | 12:42 |

theCore | mdke: Hmm, it would be a great challenge to merge all the documention scattered around the communities | 12:47 |
mdke | yeah, wishful thinking maybe | 12:47 |
theCore | mdke: but, it worth to try | 12:47 |
theCore | wishful thinking, I like that expression | 12:47 |
linuxmonkey | mdke: it probably easyer to start fresh.lol sad to say | 12:47 |
theCore | linuxmonkey: I don't think so | 12:47 |
mdke | we 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 it | 12:48 |
theCore | mdke: the main problem is not everyone has the same skills | 12:48 |
mdke | true, that's not a problem, but an advantage, if you look at it right | 12:49 |
theCore | mdke: some peoples, even if they know the answer to a problem, won't write a doc about it | 12:50 |
mdke | of course. That's fine | 12:50 |
theCore | mdke: simply because, they aren't confortable with Docbook, or the Wiki | 12:50 |

mdke | theCore: yes, that is a very exciting project (you know mvirkkil is the author, right?) | 12:53 |

theCore | oh | 12:54 |

mvirkkil | mdke: :P | 12:54 |
theCore | mvirkkil: nice feature | 12:54 |
mvirkkil | theCore: Thanks. Not originally my idea. Henrik asked me to work on it, like a year ago. | 12:55 |
mdke | henrik is so sharp | 12:55 |
mdke | his ideas always turn out to be way ahead of the rest | 12:55 |
mvirkkil | theCore: I did the initial version then, it got a few patches (that broke the docbook) | 12:55 |
theCore | hehe | 12:56 |
mvirkkil | I'm just a code monkey, doing what is asked of him ;) | 12:56 |
mdke | mvirkkil: what does your mentor do? | 12:56 |
mvirkkil | mdke: He's on the docteam. He's not a coder, so patrik barnes (nman) helpes with technical stuff. | 12:57 |
mvirkkil | mdke: I suppose he's your equivalent afaic in fedora. | 12:57 |
mdke | that's his job, or he is a volunteer? | 12:58 |
theCore | there is a lot of howtos on forums, it would be great to bring them all into a single authoritative source | 12:58 |

mvirkkil | I wonder on what basis it's decided how many projects an org get to have | 01:13 |
mvirkkil | becausewhen you compare ubuntus list to fedoras, it just seems odd. | 01:14 |
mdke | crazy, in fact | 01:14 |
theCore | mvirkkil: I think it depend of the size of the organisation, Google gives to each org. a limit of projects they can have | 01:15 |
mdke | that doesn't justify the difference between Ubuntu and Fedora | 01:16 |
mdke | Ubuntu has more than it can justifiably handle | 01:17 |
mdke | fedora has 5 | 01:17 |
theCore | maybe, fedora had less interesting project submitted to them, I don't know | 01:20 |
theCore | or maybe, Google likes Ubuntu better | 01:20 |

theCore | LaserJock: I got a question for you | 01:23 |
theCore | LaserJock: do you think the MOTU would accept a package of emacs-snapshot? | 01:24 |
LaserJock | umm, isn't there already one? | 01:27 |
LaserJock | theCore: did you want to tweak the current snapshot package? | 01:28 |
theCore | LaserJock: yeah, but it's quite outdated | 01:28 |
LaserJock | of course it is, we froze | 01:28 |
theCore | LaserJock: well, I would like to replace it with a newer version | 01:28 |
LaserJock | or is that not the issue | 01:28 |
LaserJock | theCore: the one from June 2nd that is in Debian isn't new enough? | 01:30 |
theCore | LaserJock: their package is from the HEAD trunk, mine is from the XFT_JHD_BRANCH | 01:31 |
theCore | LaserJock: maybe, I should do what Seveas does, build myself a personal repository | 01:32 |
LaserJock | theCore: that is probably more likely than getting it into universe | 01:33 |
LaserJock | you could always try to convince Debian to use the XFT_JHD_BRANCH | 01:33 |

=== Kingbahamut [n=bahamut@c-24-98-229-28.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
theCore | We 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 them | 02:33 |
LaserJock | hmm, except devel, artowork, and ideas don't sound like documentation | 02:34 |

LaserJock | yeah, but more so | 02:35 |

theCore | "Lack of structure". I'm not sure we can solve this | 02:38 |
LaserJock | why not? | 02:39 |
theCore | well, how we could solve this? | 02:39 |
LaserJock | I don't know but we are smart people. I'm guessing hard work | 02:42 |
theCore | one way could to propose a StyleGuide for the wiki, but would stupid simply because less peoples would want to write wiki docs. | 02:43 |
theCore | another way, would to separate the Wiki pages categorically, so peoples could inspire them-self with the other similiar docs | 02:45 |
LaserJock | theCore: there is a style guide for the wiki | 02:45 |
theCore | really? I never saw it. | 02:46 |
theCore | we could also put a default template for each new page | 02:47 |

nixternal | Burgundavia: i use it, but not on Hoary. I have it on Xubuntu, Nubuntu, and Kubuntu laptops..with the orinoco chipset | 04:12 |
Burgundavia | nixternal: can you cleanup and merge those pages? grab a hoary install and play | 04:13 |
nixternal | sure | 04:13 |
nixternal | im sure it isn't much different...the one main thing with kismet to get it running is a simple config fix..especially for orinoco | 04:13 |

nixternal | grabbing 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 terminal | 04:41 |
Burgundavia | nixternal: yep | 04:41 |
nixternal | hehe..gotta tear up my hacktop for this one | 04:41 |
Burgundavia | try and emphasize graphic tools though | 04:41 |
nixternal | ok..so try to stay away from the sudo apt-get's | 04:42 |
nixternal | if that is so..then it will be real easy to do this. Since Kismet is in the repositories | 04:42 |
=== robitaille_ [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
nixternal | another 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 |
nixternal | this could be made small and to the point really...its as simple as $ sudo apt-get install kismet | 04:44 |
nixternal | then sudo nano /etc/kismet/something.conf | 04:44 |
Burgundavia | it should talk about hoary/breezy and dapper | 04:44 |
nixternal | hopefully i can repository install with hoary and breezy also..i kno wi can with breezy..at least with hoary i hope so | 04:45 |
Burgundavia | cool | 04:45 |
Burgundavia | then redirect those pages to something generic, like OrinocoKismet | 04:45 |
nixternal | ya...i was going to recommend a name change | 04:46 |
Burgundavia | oh, btw, can you split out the orinoco parts? | 04:46 |
Burgundavia | nixternal: that talks about installing a network card and then sniffing no? | 04:46 |
nixternal | not really..each wifi card is different...there are only a handful of cards that will work with kismet | 04:46 |
Burgundavia | ah, ok | 04:46 |
Burgundavia | does orinoco work ootb? | 04:47 |
nixternal | for breezy and dapper yes | 04:47 |
nixternal | i will see with hoary | 04:47 |
Burgundavia | can you abstract it to just a kismet page? | 04:47 |
nixternal | this page has so much stuff...it is pretty much Orinoco | 04:47 |
Burgundavia | maybe Kismet/Orinoco at most | 04:47 |
nixternal | Kismet/Orinoco would be decent, but he also has Wifi Radar and iwlist in here also | 04:47 |
Burgundavia | ugh, can that be decently split out? | 04:48 |
nixternal | this is like a HackWirelessWithOrinoco | 04:48 |
nixternal | LOL | 04:48 |
nixternal | I haven't seen Wifi Radar in a while either | 04:48 |
nixternal | us wireless guys us Kismet at times...but rely on airsnort and aircrack for most work | 04:49 |
nixternal | Burgundavia: 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 |
Burgundavia | sounds good | 04:50 |
nixternal | ok..good..i wil do that then | 04:50 |

nixternal | Burgundavia: 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.conf | 05:19 |
robotgeek | lol | 05:19 |
nixternal | however, I am going to commit with Hoary to confirm this | 05:20 |
Burgundavia | nixternal: cool, favour default over custom hacks | 05:20 |
nixternal | yes | 05:21 |
nixternal | i think all he was showing was that he patched his orinoco card | 05:21 |
nixternal | that is the only thing i can see he did that would warrent everything he did with that page | 05:21 |

Burgundavia | nixternal: on dapper, with only dapper? | 07:06 |
nixternal | well..the latest in the repositories in the the dapper repositiories... | 07:07 |

Burgundavia | sorry, I don't follow | 07:07 |
Burgundavia | are you trying to use dapper repos on older versions of Ubuntu? | 07:07 |

Burgundavia | can you not use that releases repos? | 07:08 |
Burgundavia | how old? does it work? | 07:09 |
nixternal | old..and no it doesn't work | 07:09 |
nixternal | i think for hoary..utilize the current information...and rework it/clean it...and then upgrade the breezy/dapper versions | 07:09 |
Burgundavia | hmm | 07:09 |
nixternal | it isn't a pretty process for hoary, but it works | 07:10 |
Burgundavia | ok | 07:10 |

=== Burgundavia is glad Hoary is dying in 6 months | ||

nixternal | arg..can this wait 6 months LOL | 07:10 |
Burgundavia | then just don't mention hoary | 07:11 |
nixternal | how 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 |
Burgundavia | talk about breezy and dapper | 07:11 |
nixternal | LOL | 07:11 |
nixternal | i blew out my kubuntu install for that ;) | 07:11 |
nixternal | i only use my lappy for testing..so i don't care | 07:11 |
nixternal | it is installing while im working on other stuff..so it is cool...i will work with breezy and dapper then | 07:12 |
nixternal | plus the orinoco chipset is old...being replaced with atheros, prismIII and broadcoms..plus ralink here and there | 07:12 |
nixternal | orinoco is the original wireless chipset i believe..outdating prism1 and atheros | 07:13 |
nixternal | i will say this however concerning hoary on this laptop...it is way fast compared to everything i have put on it ;) | 07:13 |
Burgundavia | hmm, dapper has been the fastest I have used | 07:14 |
Burgundavia | hoary is faster than breezy to install and use | 07:14 |
nixternal | on my main systems yes..my lappy is old celeron 700 with 192mb ram and a mobile rage 2 card | 07:14 |
Burgundavia | ah | 07:14 |
nixternal | 10gb hard drive that is close to dying ;) | 07:14 |
Burgundavia | even then, dapper should be fater | 07:14 |
Burgundavia | faster | 07:14 |
nixternal | dapper is fast..but hoary is faster | 07:15 |
dsas | nixternal: 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 |
mvirkkil | nixternal: I have an even slower laptop (650Mhz, 128MB), and I agree. | 07:18 |
nixternal | oooh..i got ya by 50mhz mvirkkil | 07:18 |
mvirkkil | It's really easy to go from just surfing along, to swapping hell... | 07:18 |
nixternal | usb wifi = dodgy in every os there is | 07:19 |
mvirkkil | I think that dapper might be faster if I had just a little more memory on this thing. | 07:19 |
dsas | nixternal: 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 |
mvirkkil | But the swapping is really killing the overall experience. Oh, and accidentally hitting f1 starts yelp | 07:20 |
nixternal | i 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 some | 07:20 |
mvirkkil | which makes the laptop unusable for >1minute as it's loading, and then 30seconds more as it's closing. | 07:21 |
nixternal | i 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 mine | 07:21 |
nixternal | and the neighborhood is roomy..not next to each other and what not | 07:21 |
dsas | I'm the only AP I can detect here. I live on a street of old people. | 07:25 |
nixternal | lol | 07:25 |

froud | mvirkkil: what is important for the documenation case is | 09:07 |
froud | Yankee Group determined a significant portion of this outage time is attributed to the scarcity of Linux and open source documentation compared to the more mature, established operating systems. | 09:07 |

froud | trappist: which I think is one more option not available | 06:24 |
froud | trappist: I knew of Instanbul but when I last used it it was doing ogg I think | 06:24 |
trappist | ogg is nice too | 06:24 |
froud | trappist: my customer wanted avi because they had to show windows users how to do stuff | 06:25 |

froud | Anyone 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 |
jjesse | random thought, but i hate fruit on the bottom yogurt always seem to have the fruit last and it doesn't mix up good | 06:50 |
froud | Which in tern will enable l18n of screenshots to be done using the poxml process | 06:50 |
froud | put the yogurt upside down in the fridge, that way you will always have the fruit on top | 06:51 |
nixternal | jjesse: i second that about the fruit | 06:51 |
mgalvin | froud: i haven't tried it but it certainly sounds like a neat idea | 06:51 |

LinuxMonkey | mdke: 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 list | 11:07 |
mdke | Burgwork: don't ask | 11:08 |
Burgwork | http://digg.com/linux_unix/UbuntuGuide.org_Reborn_for_Dapper <-- ugh | 11:09 |

LinuxMonkey | official i think not | 11:10 |
LaserJock | I don't understand how it is so easy for that stuff to get around | 11:10 |
Burgwork | digg, the stupidity of the crowd | 11:10 |
Burgwork | now that it is a wiki, we can edit it to our needs | 11:10 |
LinuxMonkey | yeah please reffer to..... on every page | 11:11 |
mdke | LinuxMonkey: 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 |
LinuxMonkey | and point it to our official pages | 11:11 |
Burgwork | remove the bad stuff, like killing the panel | 11:12 |
mdke | Burgwork: we don't have the resources to work on all the unofficial wikis around though | 11:12 |
Burgwork | no, we don't, but this one is big enough | 11:12 |

Burgwork | heh | 11:13 |
mdke | LaserJock: eh? | 11:13 |
mdke | don't say that! | 11:13 |
LaserJock | I admire you guys for getting in there, I just don't know if I can handle it much longer | 11:13 |
Burgwork | LaserJock, it goes it cycles | 11:13 |
Burgwork | I don't love docs for some cycles and for some I do | 11:13 |
mdke | heh | 11:14 |
LaserJock | I 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 much | 11:14 |
mdke | henrik has written an essay on the UDSF thread | 11:14 |
Burgwork | then ignore them | 11:14 |
LaserJock | Burgwork: the problem is I care too much | 11:15 |
Burgwork | ah, I used to as well | 11:15 |
LinuxMonkey | mdke: how do I add space between the text and images | 11:15 |
Burgwork | then I got cold | 11:15 |
mdke | LinuxMonkey: not sure | 11:17 |
LinuxMonkey | lol | 11:17 |
manicka | Burgwork, you can't edit the unofficial guide ^^. It's not an open wiki | 11:17 |
Burgwork | manicka, what? | 11:17 |
Burgwork | I guess they figured they would have us come and change too many things | 11:17 |
manicka | it can only be edited by the maintainers | 11:18 |
manicka | who are approved by the admin | 11:18 |
mdke | LinuxMonkey: maybe have a look at the style of this - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultimediaApplications | 11:18 |
