Where can I find doko? [01:20] #ubuntu-devel [01:20] Ok. [01:22] I need to talk to someone, get some opinions. For example, this user guide is in OpenDocument format, not DocBook. So we need to think about what to do (e.g. leave them in their current format and add a menu entry from OOo). [01:23] brb [01:27] ogra: Do you have doku's email address?

[03:21] sbalneav, hi there [03:21] Provided that you have Unix root access. [03:21] DanielC, (late response to the OOo guide) I suggest we leave it in OpenDocument format [03:22] since it is the native format of OpenOffice.org itself [03:22] rodarvus: Ok. [03:22] and likely won't be maintained by us [03:22] rodarvus: That sounds like a good idea. At least for the time being. [03:22] if desired, it is trivial to even add a OOo menu item to open the guide [03:23] That would be great (adding an OOo menu). I tried to figure out how to do it, but couldn't. [03:23] I'm sure it's just one of those menu.xml files. [03:24] rodarvus: Are you involved in either the Documentation project or the OOo package? [03:25] DanielC, I was an OpenOffice.org developer in a past life [03:25] (actually, I developed a derivative of OOo for almost two years) [03:25] Cool. Few people outside Sun ever manage to make sense of OOo's codebase ;-) [03:26] yes, its a long learning path [03:26] our team was made of 9 (good) programmers, which I hired very carefully [03:27] it basically took all of them two months to be productive [03:27] What was that derivative called? What did it do? [03:27] FreeOffice [03:28] I haven't heard of it. It might have been before I got involved in OOo. [03:28] it has improved spell checker and grammar checker, native support for VBA macros, support to MS Access documents, and hundreds of small features to make it look like MS Office :) [03:28] That's impressive. Those are things that the current OOo hasn't managed. === bluekuja [n=andrea@ubuntu/member/bluekuja] has joined #edubuntu [03:29] right, and "look like ms office" is surely not one of the main targets of OpenOffice.org [03:29] the main target of this project was to make a seasoned MS Office user able to use FreeOffice without any training [03:29] Yes, and IMO I don't think it should be. But compatibility is high on the agenda. [03:30] DanielC, btw, what is your name? [03:30] Daniel Carrera [03:30] hah! [03:30] I know who you are :) [03:30] :) [03:30] What's your name? Have we met at OOo? [03:31] no, I haven't had the chance to go to any OOo conference [03:31] ok [03:31] and pretty much left the OOo community since I left this job :/ [03:31] Well, I'm not really involved in OOo anymore. I found it was too much trouble. [03:32] its very time consuming [03:32] I found that getting the leads to accept my work was a lot more difficult than doing the work itself. [03:33] when the other developers on our team became productive, I basically had to stop programming myself, to integrate all their code, and OOo itself on our codebase [03:33] I didn't just "quit" overnight, but I sort of drifted into other things slowly. [03:33] one thing that was quite sad was that some of the features worked inside Sun were not public to the community [03:34] so we lost a few manmonths doing stuff that suddenly appeared in the source code [03:34] oh... :( [03:34] Yeah, that's not a good way to work in a FOSS project.

[04:15] just did fuse [04:15] das merging das packagen [04:15] paket :) [04:15] So, I've got another dumb question. I'm trying to muddle about in the source tree I got yesterday. [04:15] shoot [04:16] How do I actually "build" ubuntu's LTSP? I'm assuming I'm going to get a server side "ltsp-build-standalone" package, and then a couple of customized client-side packages, yes? === neurogeek [n=neurogee@201.248.239.219] has joined #edubuntu [04:17] no, you get a source package that you can build then [04:18] we'll need to add a generic build system i guess for your requirements (makefile etc) [04:19] Well, no need to rush into that. If you could just point me at the sequence of commands. I'd like to learn how you're doing it now, so that full grokking and enlightenment may be obtained on my part. [04:19] you can build it manually with: fakeroot debian/rules binary [04:19] run that in the source dir [04:20] ah, of course. [04:20] hmm, you probably need the debhelper scripts etc [04:20] morning ogra, sbalneav. [04:21] apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev devscripts [04:21] if you want to do "real" package development build yourself a pbuilder https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto [04:21] yeah, I'll get 'em. I know how to check it out now, from yesterday. I guess my goal today is to actually wrap my head around how to "build" it, so that I've got a firm grip on what to do once we start modifying it. So you may (unfortunately) have to answer a couple of more dumb questions before the weekend's through :) [04:22] sbartleylinux: morning. === dan_young [n=dyoung@fw11x.mesd.k12.or.us] has joined #edubuntu [04:22] sbalneav: how was Paris?

[04:24] thx [04:24] Great food? [04:24] surely you jest [04:24] ogra: did you ever get a chance to talk to sbalneav or jammcq about how the print server was getting called? [04:24] jsgotangco: :-) [04:24] its probably the stalest bread outside my place ive ever tasted [04:25] the good food, great scenery is actually 40min away by train [04:25] and costs 16 per visit [04:25] jsgotangco: You'll notice that jammcq and I went DOWNTOWN for dinner most nights. [04:26] but there were 2 smart guys who bought weeklong tickets for 33 and told us about it 2 days before the summit ended [04:26] next time, hang with the j-dog and the Crazy Canuck and you'll eat like a kind. [04:26] s/kind/king/ [04:26] And that is the truth.;) [04:27] and there was one guy with a porsche who didn't even let us experience how fast he drives [04:27] =D [04:27] jsgotangco: You've seen the two of us in person now. Do we LOOK like the kind of person who CAN'T find a good meal? [04:27] lol. [04:27] lol [04:27] I miss the Autobahn. [04:28] what the hell i just received spam in french now [04:29] So ogra tells me: I'm driving to Paris, and I ask him if he's bringing the Porsche. And he says "No, it brings me". LOLOL jammcq and I were laughing our butts off in the airport. Ogra tries to hide it, but he's really quite a funny guy.

[04:33] wow that's huge [04:33] did that do it by default? [04:33] Kamping_Kaiser, it looks like your panel is using icon sizes from another (probably accessibility) theme [04:34] jsgotangco, yes, the first update on edgy [04:34] it seems to be the default edubuntu theme, and if i keep it as is and just change the icons it rezises properly [04:36] Kamping_Kaiser, yes, the theme is really EdubuntuColors [04:36] gnome in edgy is not even half built [04:36] dont expect it to work properly [04:37] actually, don't expect Edgy to work at this time :) [04:37] Kamping_Kaiser, i wouldnt run edgy yet [04:37] its supposed to be quite broken for the next weeks [04:37] ogra, i see ;) [04:38] sbartleylinux, nope, not yet, but he has many questions, so we can trade them ;) [04:38] i'm aware its supposed to break, its the fun of it. i was just wondering if jumbo top bars were part of the deal :) [04:38] rodarvus: are you taking over xorg? [04:38] (sorry, i'm particulary busy with merges so i'm not watching IRC often atm) [04:38] jsgotangco, "taking over" is an exageration :) [04:38] I'll help sync our X packages with debian's [04:39] and hopefully, later update it to 7.1 [04:39] :) [04:39] funny thing is, infinity left for vacation today [04:39] yeah [04:39] and fabbione will likely do the same in the next few days :) [04:39] i was talking to fabbione a few hours ago and said he's not maintaining it anymore =) [04:40] other devs I've poked at didn't bothered much about X [04:40] so welcome our new xorg overlord [04:40] glup [04:40] hehe [04:40] rodarvus: just to let you know i did a bunch of bug rejects today...mostly old, unmaintained bug reports === Kamping_Kaiser updates his systm to a less stable version of edgy as we speak - dont forget to take the moral high ground later folk ;) [04:41] jsgotangco, I've seen it, thanks :) [04:41] jsgotangco, do you know if there is any other QA person triaging X bugs?

[05:16] rodarvus: ^^ === jsgotangco thinks rodarvus is busy watching football [05:19] haha [05:19] I was helping my daughter with her lunch === Yagisan feels like smacking his head into a brick wall [05:39] Why is it, even the simplest of build systems hate me today ? [05:40] :( [05:41] at least I can read what my cmake file is supposed to do hours after writing it, unlike autotools === RobinShepheard [n=robins@81.17.65.2] has joined #edubuntu [05:44] hello all [05:44] hi [05:45] hiya jsgotangco, how are you?? [05:45] ahh just lookiing at some bugs and rejecting them at will [05:45] lol [05:45] excellent === Laser_away is now known as LaserJock === jsgotangco has the green flag at the moment [05:46] Morning LaserJock [05:47] hi sbalneav [05:51] hiya LaserJock [05:52] hi RobinShepheard [05:53] I maybe mad I know but in attempt to understand the full edubuntu/ubuntu system I have just nuked my laptop and have built debian system on it [05:53] hehe [05:53] it has provided me with a chance to get into some of the nitty gritty of the system that is hidden byt edubuntu/ubuntu [05:53] such as intel wireless cards :( [05:54] took several hours to get that working properly [05:54] heh [05:55] how does edubuntu/ubuntu handle things like that, is it a case of the modules being built automagically, where as on debian they have to be done by hand [05:56] are they even the same modules or do we have a custom version?? [05:56] not sure [05:56] I am not sure where to look to find out either [05:57] I'm guessing in the kernel package ;-) [05:57] given the development model, would these questions be better aimed at the ubuntu lists do you reckon [05:58] hmm, you might try ubuntu-user if you do [05:59] hmm not a bad plan. I just decided while I can use the system with few problems, I would like to understand it better so that I can do more [05:59] eg how the whole thing is put together [06:00] then maybe I can help with the development a bit [06:00] rather than just stand on the side lines so to speak [06:00] good idea [06:01] I thought so, and I figured as the underlying system is debian, I would start there and work up [06:01] I usually just learn by digging in, I have given up on the idea that I can know how my computer works from the ground up :-) [06:02] fair point, I was just thinking of the interaction in the os itself, eg bits like the modules and stuff [06:02] and how the installer works [06:03] go for it! I wish I had time to do that more [06:04] well, I am sort of tying it into work, as I am, with the bosses approval, looking at a migration from windoze to linux [06:04] so some reseach time and a few of the books are on them [06:05] that's the way to do it [06:05] well i DO try [06:06] oh and I am also trying to move flats at the mo, so I am not around as much as usual [06:07] I have to wait for internet to be connected at the new flat [06:15] rodarvus: dang, they got you working quick! [06:15] LaserJock, hello :) [06:15] LaserJock, yes, that was fast [06:15] hi bluekuja [06:15] oh hello rodarvus [06:15] actually I was asked to do that in Paris [06:15] he got framed up [06:15] bluekuja, hello [06:15] LaserJock, I need to ask you something in pm [06:15] :) [06:16] k === ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu [06:23] jsgotangco: who works on g-a-i? [06:24] mvo and glatzor mostly, i just send useless patches [06:24] I'm liking it more and more every day [06:24] we work on it in a bzr mainline but branch as well [06:25] that's nice to know [06:25] if only I could code, I'd have so much fun working on these things ;-) [06:25] I got to go, see you all around sometime [06:26] heh its the reverse on my side, i could code (not great though), but i can barely make a proper package heh [06:26] its mostly python and glade work [06:26] cool, I'm a big python+glade fan [06:27] bzr has been great help on it [06:28] yeah? pete and I have been using bzr for the gisomount thing. very nice [06:29] yeah the actually app has already 300+ revisions so it can be a bit slow sometimes especially using the visualization tool [06:29] yeah, that's really my only complaint with bzr, it's not as fast as I'd like it to be [06:30] https://launchpad.net/products/gnome-app-install/+branches [06:31] heh [06:31] love the branch name ;-) [06:31] or I guess that's the author [06:33] the new one for edgy will be using popcon data =D [06:33] hmmm [06:34] do we have much of any popcon data yet? [06:34] its been running for quite a while so i guess yes [06:34] we really should use it better [06:34] its installed by default but not activated [06:34] right [06:34] so we will probably ask people to activate if if the want to [06:34] it'd be nice to have a popup after install or something that offers to activate [06:35] because I'm guess the percentage of people who even know about it is quite small and biased towards more advanced users [06:37] i dunno the strategy for that yet but we all have it in our computers at the moment so its just a matter of turning them on with the user's knowledge [06:37] and consent [06:38] awww geeezzz and i though germany was bound to lose [06:39] not that it'll affect ogra =) [06:51] good night [06:51] cya jsgotangco === mdz_ [n=mdz@studiocity-motorola-bsr1-70-36-194-85.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #edubuntu === kjcole [n=kjcole@ubuntu/member/kjcole] has joined #edubuntu === mdz_ is now known as mdz === sankar [n=sankarsh@nat-pool-bos.redhat.com] has joined #edubuntu === sankar is now known as sankarshan [07:45] ogra: do you think it would be any help if I were to poke somebody about getting dynamic-menus reviewed? [07:47] poke mdz [07:50] LaserJock: Thanks for writing the Packaging Guide :) [07:50] LaserJock: I heard that you're responsible for it... [07:50] Yeah, LaserJock is DA MAN [07:51] hehe === bddebian creates LaserJockIsAGod wiki [07:51] DanielC: well, I had lots of help [07:51] I do admit that I struggle with the debian/rules part though... but the rest has been great so far. [07:52] well, debian/rules has all the action so it is a bit difficult to explain [07:52] the other files are fairly predictable [07:52] ogra: s/mdz/the review team/ [07:52] ogra: poke me when it's ready for approval [07:52] LaserJock: I guess that it could merit a chapter of its own... [07:52] oh, sorry [07:53] right [07:53] LaserJock: But even for someone who has written a couple of Makefiles before, debian/rules is not very clear... [07:53]
