| robotgeek | hi cosmolax | 04:59 |
| cosmolax | a moment ago, I reEdit the section "Ubuntu Dapper Installfest In Taiwan" in the UWN issue #5 draft. | 04:59 |
| cosmolax | I just remove the duplicate hyperlink of the article. | 05:00 |
| cosmolax | That's because the writer use another wiki system but not moinmoin. sorry for that. | 05:00 |
| robotgeek | cosmolax: sure, thanks :) | 05:01 |

| nixternal | with the packaging guide pdf..is there a way to print 4 pages on one sheet of paper, book style/front to back? | 07:11 |
| Madpilot | that depends on which PDF viewer you're using, I think | 07:12 |
| nixternal | im looking at kpdf..which seems rather ummm...feature lacking | 07:12 |
| Madpilot | try Adobe Acrobat Reader - it's a giant pig, but it's still the most complete PDF reader going | 07:12 |
| Madpilot | it's in Multiverse - look for acroread | 07:12 |
| nixternal | im trying that one now | 07:12 |
| nixternal | i got the latest and greatest version of that pig | 07:13 |
| nixternal | as the local college uses pdf for all documentation | 07:13 |
| nixternal | so i am rather used to the #@$# | 07:13 |
| nixternal | i will however..try to get them to switch to svn and docbooks in the xml class next fall | 07:13 |
| Madpilot | Evince is pretty good - it's Gnome's default viewer - but acroread is still the standard | 07:13 |
| nixternal | well...my idea is actually more work then what i would like..i will just print double sided...that will work for what i need | 07:17 |

| mdke | morning | 10:33 |
| Madpilot | hi mdke | 10:33 |
| mdke | hiya | 10:33 |
| Madpilot | Happy Canada Day ;) | 10:33 |
| mdke | ah, same to you | 10:33 |
| tonyyarusso | Sort of morning | 10:33 |
| Madpilot | 0135 is technically morning | 10:34 |
| mdke | Madpilot: btw #redirect only does pages within the same wiki, you need "#refresh # url" for urls | 10:34 |
| Madpilot | ah, cool | 10:34 |
| Madpilot | thanks | 10:34 |
| mdke | how should I celebrate canada day? | 10:37 |
| Madpilot | get sunburned & drunk, then sing "Oh Canada" off key | 10:38 |
| mdke | similar to English celebrations, except a different song | 10:38 |
| Madpilot | but only the first verse, in English then French, because nobody even knows the rest of the versee ;) | 10:38 |
| Madpilot | s/versee/verses | 10:38 |
| mdke | I saw some English football fans recently who had sunburn on their chests in the form of the English flag | 10:39 |
| mdke | flair | 10:39 |
| Madpilot | that takes dedication - and careful application of sunblock | 10:40 |
| tonyyarusso | I might know them if I thought about it actually... | 10:40 |
| Madpilot | tonyyarusso, what, the 2nd & subsequent verses of "Oh Canada"? | 10:41 |
| tonyyarusso | Madpilot: Yeah. Or at least I did at one time. | 10:41 |
| tonyyarusso | Learned them for when our minor league baseball team was playing Winnipeg. | 10:41 |
| Madpilot | I've grown up in this country, and I've never known them. Not sure I've ever even heard them... ;) | 10:42 |
| Madpilot | at school we did the 1st verse, in both languages, and that was it | 10:42 |
| Madpilot | then "Dog Shave the Queen" in English at the end of our school assemblies | 10:43 |
| tonyyarusso | Hehe | 10:44 |
| mdke | disgraceful | 10:44 |
| Madpilot | oh, sorry... I meant "God Save...etc" :) | 10:44 |
| tonyyarusso | They did all of the verses every morning at the school I had my placement in for con-ed, and I was just starting to get the hang of it when they started doing them in French instead. | 10:45 |
| mdke | no respect these canadians | 10:45 |
| Madpilot | mdke, Lizzie's a lovely woman, it's the rest of her family that worries me :) | 10:45 |
| Madpilot | I'm a monarchist by default, because we've got one now and it mostly works | 10:45 |
| mdke | indeed | 10:46 |
| mdke | for most definitions of works | 10:46 |
| Madpilot | for the definition that includes "Look what having a President has gotten our good friends to the south of us" | 10:46 |

| dsas | "Reports on using Ubuntu on portable computers." ? | 12:25 |
| dsas | hmm, all my page subscriptions have gone. | 12:27 |
| dsas | Madpilot: Who do I need to talk to too get page deletion privs? | 12:28 |

| Madpilot | not really, but it helps | 12:31 |
| Madpilot | eventually all approved WikiTeam members will automagically have delete/rename privs | 12:32 |
| dsas | ok, I'll apply for the wikiteam and catch up with mdke when he's around. | 12:32 |
| dsas | Thanks for the help | 12:33 |
| Madpilot | np | 12:33 |
| Madpilot | you can always ping here or the ML if you've got a candidate page for deletion | 12:34 |
| dsas | There's three pages at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Test | 12:36 |
| Madpilot | looks like they're gone already? | 12:38 |
| dsas | hmm, I get three pages teste, testpage1 and testpage2 all linked from the 'Test' page not found search result. | 12:39 |
| Madpilot | ah, yeah | 12:41 |
| Madpilot | in the search box, below the "This page does not exist..." line | 12:41 |

| nixternal | personel pages aren't to be redirected to h.u.c | 08:03 |
| CarlFK | that seems to be a chage | 08:03 |
| nixternal | ya..personal pages are sticking on w.u.c | 08:04 |
| nixternal | i see though with the @SIG@ it shows h.u.c/c/WikiName | 08:04 |
| CarlFK | that means all the links to them that are now on h.u.c are broken ? | 08:04 |
| nixternal | if it is from the @SIG@ feature then yes..unless we recreate our personal pages on h.u.c and #refresh 0 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ourpage | 08:05 |
| nixternal | i don' tknow if they want that on the h.u.c though | 08:05 |
| CarlFK | bleck | 08:06 |
| nixternal | mdke can probably have the sig feature fixed so that it goes to w.u.c instead | 08:06 |
| CarlFK | I can see why.. but I think it is too late | 08:06 |
| nixternal | that @SIG@ is just a macro..probably python scripted... | 08:06 |
| nixternal | well im sure it is in python since moinmoin is python ;) | 08:06 |
| CarlFK | should I post anything about to the -doc list of LP? | 08:07 |

| nixternal | oh..it is a macro that posts your name, date, and time when you post... | 08:16 |
| nixternal | hmm..i can't see what moinmoin uses for db | 08:16 |
| nixternal | i don't see anything about it at all on the moinmoin install site | 08:16 |
| CarlFK | huh - I asked on the -doc list, | 08:17 |
| CarlFK | part of the "delete CatDoc" thread | 08:17 |
| CarlFK | if it is written "well" you can pick a db | 08:17 |
| nixternal | mpt made a good point on the CatDoc stuff about deleting them when you do work on the pages | 08:18 |
| CarlFK | which means it is up to the person who installed it | 08:18 |
| CarlFK | yeah - I don't really care about the CatDoc issue - but if I can help a bunch of editors focus on something useful ... good. ;) | 08:19 |
| nixternal | i went through the other night with some free time and removed a bunch of pages from the CatDoc...I emailed the list letting them know..not a good idea ;) | 08:19 |
| nixternal | exactly | 08:19 |
