[04:42] what? [04:42] We were impressed to find included among the very good documentation that ships with Ubuntu a software packaging guide. [04:42] eweek [04:42] http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1990780,00.asp [04:43] wahooo! [04:43] I'm glad somebody enjoyed it ;-) [04:43] eweek dude [04:54] jjesse: pingaling? [04:54] ok, I got a docbook question [04:55] the pg is split up into different .xml files, 1 for each chapter [04:55] ok, i don't have a docbook answer === cosmolax [n=oem@219-68-130-176.adsl.dynamic.giga.net.tw] has joined #ubuntu-doc [04:56] in the main .xml file I have all the now in the chapter .xml files do I need to do it again? [04:56] in the Desktop Guide it is done that way [04:56] but it seems redundant to me [04:57] sounds redundant to me as well, however the ok, well take for example [04:58] i know in the packaging guide, i was working with the 'Winmodems' section and there were url's called up [04:58] I have that at the top of every .xml file [04:59] if packagingguide.xml includes the .xml files it seems like they should already know globalent [04:59] and it should be, so information in that .xml file can get more info or what not from the global file..the main.xml is just going to call all the .xml files into one location [05:00] hmm...well also, that is done for the xml2html stuff when doing a 'make' in the docs directory [05:00] LaserJock: you don't need to refer to every entity for all the pages [05:00] finally someone with a real answer ;) [05:00] the child pages can be just simple docbook files with no entity calls [05:00] ok, that's what it looked like to me [05:01] unless you atually use something from global.ent which is already handled by the parent xml file [05:01] they make your whole document modular i guess [05:01] in a shallow way [05:01] plus i believe they are also in all the .xml files because of people copy and pasting structure [05:02] yeah [05:02] it doesnt really hurt but its kind of redundant [05:02] SWEET!!! my edgy install on the lappy actually runs the fan keeping it cool [05:02] dapper doesn't run the fan OOTB [05:03] http://home.comcast.net/~nixternal/fdal [05:03] heh [05:03] if you have it parsed and cleaned with a commercial editor, it'll just remove the entity calls from the child nodes [05:03] never mind that [05:03] http://home.comcast.net/~nixternal/images/misc/tmp/edgy1.png [05:03] jsgotangco: what? gedit isn't sufficent? ;-) [05:03] don't tell Matthew [05:03] did you upgrade or install? [05:03] LaserJock: hey i already did commercial docbook work, so i have sinned ;) [05:04] install [05:04] brown kde yuck [05:04] hehe..i did that..it isn't default [05:04] jsgotangco: you dirty, dirty man :-) [05:04] vmware! cheater! [05:04] not vmware, that is on my laptop [05:05] such a small resolution [05:05] 800x600 [05:05] ;( === jsgotangco cringes [05:05] then i resized it to 640x480 [05:06] i wonder if today's build is installable [05:06] that is what that is installed from [05:06] only problem is the sources.list file being created with only edgy-security and cdrom repos [05:07] there's 18.2 === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-doc [05:07] woohooo [05:07] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/daily/current/report.html [05:11] this rsyncer script is really handy [05:12] yeah, cbx33 wrote a GUI frontend for it ;-) [05:12] really? [05:12] I haven't tried it out yet [05:12] grasynco [05:12] in honor of ogra ;-) [05:12] i think its pretty straightforward to do this in zenity rather than actually do it in glade [05:14] probably [05:14] of course you gotta soup it up a bit ;-) [05:14] I like zenity [05:14] heh yeah [05:14] but a lot of "real" programmers don't, I don't think [05:15] well its not supposed to replace a glade interface [05:15] no, but it is realy easy use [05:15] when you just need to put a little GUI on a script [05:16] yeah [05:17] hmm [05:17] minimalist apps [05:17] hehe [05:17] I used it to put a little filechooser thing on front of squeak [05:40] easiest way to see what is actually 'bleeding edge' in the upcoming knot release for kubuntu? [05:40] for documentation purposes [05:41] edgy-changes?

[06:01] OpenOffice.org = OOo [06:01] hmm [06:01] nixternal: note the ;-) at the end of that question [06:01] doh [06:01] i.e. extreme sarcasm [06:01] LaTeX do spreadsheets? [06:01] ;) [06:01] that's what emacs is for [06:01] Presentations? [06:01] LaTeX [06:02] LaTeX for a presentation? [06:02] i know it is used for documents now, but presentations [06:03] yeah [06:03] i did not know that [06:03] can you view those presentation with MS Office? [06:03] pdfs [06:03] so acroread [06:03] im talking like power point presentations [06:03] yeah [06:03] kpdf, no adobe junk here [06:03] i am gonna have to check this out [06:03] you run acroread in full screen mode [06:04] and use hyperlinks [06:04] you can embed things to I believe [06:04] that sounds like a lot of work [06:04] it is [06:04] but it's LaTeX so it's perfect looking output [06:05] i can honestly say, i have never ever used LaTeX, or even looked into it at all [06:05] i see it is for typesetting [06:05] you know..i bet i used 'ports' [06:05] we use it for virtually all document writing in my field [06:06] well, the weirdos like my boss anyway [06:06] ahh..so you don't use docbooks in your field ;) [06:06] heck no [06:06] lol [06:06] it's too new [06:06] wasn't created like 30 years ago [06:06] no [06:06] we use latex for papers and dissertations [06:07] but more and more Office is being used, unfortunately [06:07] stupid macs ;-) [06:07] hmm..latex been replaced with 'tetex' i take it? [06:07] in ubuntu [06:07] umm, I think tetex is just a packaging of tex [06:08] it has latex in it [06:08] latex is newer than plain tex, I think [06:08] sudo apt-get install latex = no available, but referred to by another package [06:08] yeah, there isn't a latex package [06:08] ahhh [06:08] ok [06:08] it's included in tetex [06:08] you use tetex then? [06:08] yeah [06:08] k [06:09] it's all the same thing [06:10] im getting ready to go back to school..local for free..and take c++ and c# courses...then im going to go back and finish my MBA [06:11] i want to take speach and writing courses at the local as well [06:11] cool [06:11] I just want to be done with school for a while [06:11] it is covered by illinois veterans grant so [06:12] I've been doing it too long [06:12] so i can see [06:12] ;) [06:12] hehe [06:12] i kind of wish i would have done the college thing right out of highschool..but i hated school so much then..so i just joined the navy [06:13] i got my bachelors degree from university of maryland while i was in the military [06:13] well, some days I wish I had joined the navy ;-) [06:13] i started my MBA at Kellog/Northwestern in 2002 [06:13] not worth it anymore [06:13] unless you are going to be an officer [06:13] I almost did it but I started college to soon [06:14] by the time I could have joined I was already working on my Bachelors [06:14] so it would have been kinda pointless [06:15] ya [06:15] but my cousin joined the Army [06:15] he was doing ROTC [06:15] then he messed up his back during basic [06:16] now that sucks [06:16] and for some stupid reson didn't show up back at the base when he was supposed to [06:16] so they declared him a deserter [06:16] when i joined i wanted to be a navy seal, so i went to buds and almost completed, but blew out my knee..they were going to med discharge me, but i did the phy tests above reqs., so they let me stay [06:17] now he's got all this legal stuff to try to get a discharge without jail time [06:17] i did combat engineering..so i did a lot of hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics and what not [06:17] oh, cool [06:17] a ton of documentation actually [06:17] I've watch lots of buds on TV :-) [06:17] tough stuff [06:17] i never really thought about that..for some reason, every project i get involved with, i tend to do documentation [06:18] you're a natural ;-) [06:18] not really..as my grammar is horrible, but i always seem to make do with it [06:18] my brother-in-law was in the Marines [06:18] growing up in chicago, propper anything goes out the window [06:18] sniper in Iraq [06:18] sweet [06:19] when he was done he wanted to go back in to the Army to do some sort of special ops stuff [06:19] but I don't know if he has or not [06:19] spec ops would be a blast [06:19] but if i had to do it all over again..it would be tough, but i think i would go communications/IT [06:20] i had the chance to go Nuke, but i turned it down fast [06:20] he has some interesting stories from Fallujah, I don't envy him [06:20] i told the recruiter about submarines, 150 men go down, 75 couples come up [06:20] ya, i spent plenty of time in the persian gulf...way to hot for me [06:21] and bosnia was freezing [06:21] only thing keeping you warm in bosnia was the bullets flying by, and the mass amounts of potato liquor [06:21] I've thought about doing chemistry stuff, but chemical weapons scare me too much [06:22] heh [06:22] my uncle loves that stuff..as he is infected from nam, flat out nuts, but crazy rich now because of it ;) [06:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Kubuntu/Edgy/Knot1?action=show [06:22] that is what i am working on that needs the info === gaz00 [n=gaz00@S01060015e96c00db.cg.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === mdke_ [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Cornellius [n=a@142-217-38-112.telebecinternet.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Fujitsu [n=Fujitsu@c211-28-178-169.eburwd7.vic.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-doc === kintaroOe [n=ad0lf@203.177.212.164] has joined #ubuntu-doc === nixternal_ [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:53] im about to blow the wiki up!!!
