[12:22] <mdke> nixternal: hmm?
[12:22] <nixternal> what did i do now?
[12:23] <mdke> something about the mailing list
[12:23] <mdke> nixternal: you're subscribed, maybe take a look at your subscription options
[12:24] <nixternal> i did, the only thing i saw was the "filters" for language based topics
[12:24] <nixternal> english or french
[12:24] <nixternal> so i removed them, and will wait and see 
[12:24] <mdke> you are tagged as "not metoo", no idea what that means, but others don't seem to have it on
[12:24] <nixternal> hehe
[12:25] <nixternal> that might be seeing my own posts maybe?
[12:25] <mdke> ah, that means no copies of your own posts
[12:25] <nixternal> ya
[12:25] <nixternal> i did set metoo to requests
[12:25] <mdke> ok, all seems to be well apart from that
[12:25] <nixternal> ty sir...hopefully it will start working here
[12:26] <nixternal> im willing to bet it was the english/french filter thing
[12:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> ompaul, h.u.c/community
[12:51] <ompaul> Kamping_Kaiser, been there read that :-)
[12:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> thats where it should be ;)
[12:53] <ompaul> Kamping_Kaiser, what was bugging me was there is no --nocleanup instruction on the mirror
[12:53] <ompaul> i.e. it does cleanups :) this should be a matter of choice
[12:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> heh, i know. not my fault :)
[12:54] <ompaul> Madpilot sent me the actual url :-) 
[12:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> fame at last ;)
[12:55] <ompaul> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror
[12:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. some stray comments
[01:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> later all. *goes to tafe*
[01:33] <nixternal> mdke: when doing the UDSF to wiki stuff, should we add a small "blurb" about the original author, or where the information came from?
[01:46] <ompaul> attibs are always good
[01:47] <ompaul> attribs, and - even better it gives you the chance to have the space searched and people to "object" if that is what they want to do - your trying to be fair use and best practice at the same time
[01:47] <nixternal> ya, plus if someone has a question, they will reach them, and not me since my name is on the bottom for edits ;)
[01:48] <nixternal> im actually going to use this tutorial eventually that i just transferred..looks pretty cool
[01:48] <ompaul> fun fun fun
[01:49] <nixternal> i will say, moinmoin code snippets are garbage compare to mediawiki
[01:49] <nixternal> the line wrap is fine, but can be very confusing to a new user, or simply look like trash
[01:49] <ompaul> mediawiki has no granularity for security 
[01:50] <nixternal> ya..but it does have some nice "formatting" stuff
[01:51] <nixternal> should we use # or $ to portray the command line?
[01:51] <nixternal> # == comment out to me
[01:54] <nixternal> hiya jsgotangco!
[01:54] <jsgotangco> hello!
[02:08] <nixternal> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122
[02:08] <nixternal> review please ;)
[02:09] <jsgotangco> wow you have a Tascam interface
[02:09] <nixternal> no, but i will soon now after doing that
[02:10] <jsgotangco> i used to have a tascam multitrack loved it to death
[02:36] <jsgotangco> http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/08/07/philippines.volcano.ap/
[02:36] <jsgotangco> beautiful!
[02:38] <nixternal> thats a cool pic
[02:40] <jsgotangco> yep i saw it explode before its really nice
[02:41] <nixternal> i seen it in hawaii once a few years ago..actually quite a few years ago..the lava fields there..it is neat to see
[02:42] <bimberi> hm, something on that page crashes FF here :/
[02:43] <nixternal> flash?
[02:43] <nixternal> they have 3 ads that are flash on the page
[02:44] <bimberi> yes, could be - elements of the page start loading (some text and pics) then boom
[02:50] <bimberi> works in epiphany though :)
[08:56] <Burgundavia> http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Edgy_Eft_Knot_2 <-- bleedin joy, I knew this would happen
[08:57] <crimsun> we totally need to plant "hidden" Edgy wiki pages with ponies and stuff
[08:58] <Burgundavia> sounds good
[09:02] <mdke> nixternal: add a link to the forum thread at the bottom, I think
[09:02] <mdke> morning everyone
[09:03] <Burgundavia> morning mdke
[09:12] <nixternal> heh
[09:12] <nixternal> mdke, did you take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 to see how I linked the info at the bottom?  It may be overkill, but i just covered my rear on it
[09:12] <nixternal> do you think we need a digg article announcing that a release is just "around the corner" ? i dont....
[09:12] <nixternal> heh, that guy let him have it on that one ;)
[09:13] <mdke> that looks fine (nice page). I'd remove the bit in italics
[09:14] <Burgundavia> right, night all
[09:14] <nixternal> ya, it is more like advertising i think...
[09:14] <nixternal> nite
[09:14] <nixternal> ok
[09:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> rofl @ knot 2 thing
[09:22] <Madpilot> once again, my feeling that digg is nearly pointless is reinforced... ;)
[09:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> heh. i have to agree
[09:25] <nixternal> same here
[09:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> hey nixternal 
[09:26] <Madpilot> heh
[09:26] <nixternal> hehe
[09:27] <Madpilot> maybe I should start a blog, blog about how utterly pointless Digg is, and then wait for the article to be dugg :)
[09:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol. get addsence ready - i think your on a winner there ;)
[09:45] <Kamping_Kaiser> no reply yet :(
[09:56] <nixternal> get me one too while you are at it
[09:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> heh. i want it to go with my sparstation 5s and 10
[10:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> can someone poiunt me to a page that syas what the different install cds do? i cant work out what i need to do for a minimal install anymore :( these fancy new cds
[10:38] <mdke> Kamping_Kaiser: http://releases.ubuntu.com/dapper/
[10:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> so a default server is 'minimal', and you have to opt in to a lamp stack etc?
[10:41] <mdke> that's right, I think
[10:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> thanks.
[10:41] <mdke> well, the default server install includes some server packages
[10:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> :/ i'm after a minimal install for a gateway
[10:42] <mdke> you can type "minimal" I think
[10:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> on all cds, or just alternate? *has all cds, just wants to keep this to as few installs as possable*
[10:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> bbl. thanks mdke .
[10:58] <mdke> Kamping_Kaiser: just alternate
[11:24] <nixternal> mdke, is it really as simple as for instance,    xml2po -e -o output.pot releasenotes.xml     and then uploading it into rosetta?
[11:24] <nixternal> say i did that for all of the kubuntu docs, that is all that needs to be done?
[11:24] <mdke> no
[11:25] <nixternal> ok, i was going to say that seemed to easy a task
[11:25] <mdke> steps 1 and 2 were done a long time ago. What we need to do is step 3. It involves a fair amount of correcting invalid xml
[11:25] <nixternal> the importing back into the repo?
[11:25] <mdke> that's right
[11:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> should i ask here about gnome/ubuntu related questions, or is there a 'proper' channel?
[11:26] <mdke> Kamping_Kaiser: #ubuntu?
[11:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> *gnome/uibuntu doc
[11:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> *ubuntu
[11:26] <nixternal> hehe
[11:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> :S
[11:26] <mdke> what's the question?
[11:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> the sharing app for ubuntu (in system -> ) has no help, and the bugs been open quite a while. should i try and write some and get it oked at the ubuntu level, or try and go direct to gnome?
[11:27] <Madpilot> sharing app?
[11:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> system -> admin -> shared folders
[11:28] <Madpilot> ah
[11:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> (it has no help last i looked, looking again)
[11:28] <mdke> directly to gnome
[11:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> still none
[11:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> ok, thanks
[11:29] <mdke> find the upstream bug, and see if someone is working on it already, maybe there is material in the user guide but no help button
[11:47] <Kamping_Kaiser> thanks, i posted on the bug - now i'll have to see if theres any action
[01:13] <mdke> glatzor: got a moment?
[01:13] <mdke> manicka: hi
[01:14] <glatzor> mdke: sure
[01:14] <mdke> glatzor: about the german translation of the ubuntu desktop guide, i downloaded them yesterday and they still had *loads* of problems. Can you get someone on the team to clear it up?
[01:18] <glatzor> mdke: The team is quite inactive at the moment.
[01:19] <glatzor> I think that I have to finish the work myself and I am going to this tomorrow
[01:19] <glatzor> will this be ok?
[01:19] <mdke> sure thing, thanks
[06:03] <nixternal> hello there ;)
[06:03] <nixternal> mdke, i am going to play with the translation stuff to see if i will be of some assistance ;)
[06:04] <mdke> nixternal: that would be great
[06:04] <mdke> nixternal: i'm around for about 45 minutes if you need a hand
[06:05] <nixternal> cool..i think i should have a good grab of it right now for step 3..i know to run the translate script, find errors, fix them...once they are fixed, i submit a patch?
[06:06] <nixternal> oh, these translations, for trunk or dapper?, or both?
[06:06] <mdke> branches/dapper
[06:07] <mdke> nixternal: yes, that's right. any completely new translations should be added to the relevant Makefile and packaging too, and svn added, if you can do that
[06:07] <nixternal> sure, i will check that out as well
[06:08] <mdke> I will help you along
[06:22] <nixternal> when downloading translations, do you download them individually after they are at 100%?   don't grab them if they aren't complete correct? 
[06:23] <mdke> nixternal: no, you grab them all
[06:23] <nixternal> ok
[06:23] <mdke> what doc are you doing?
[06:23] <mdke> (highlight me with questions about this btw)
[06:24] <nixternal> "Download Translations" -> "Everything | PO format" -> "Request Download"     <- mdke ;)
[06:25] <mdke> yep
[06:25] <mdke> what doc?
[06:25] <nixternal> about-ubuntu
[06:25] <mdke> I did that one yesterday
[06:25] <mdke> (hence it wasn't in the list of ones to do)
[06:25] <nixternal> k
[06:25] <mdke> try about kubuntu
[06:26] <nixternal> cool
[06:26] <nixternal> there is "aboutkubuntu" and "desktopguide"
[06:27] <mdke> aboutkubuntu is likely to be a bit easier
[06:27] <nixternal> requested both of them
[06:27] <nixternal> ya, i will start with the aboutkubuntu first
[06:27] <nixternal> i know the guide is huge, and aboutkubuntu is smaller and probably easier to pick up on
[06:28] <mdke> Burgwork: btw, saw your exchange with jono about the participate page yesterday, check out the ContributingToUbuntu doc that andreas and jordan are working on for our docs, might be appropriate for the website
[06:28] <Burgwork> mdke, yep
[06:28] <Burgwork> thanks
[06:51] <mdke> nixternal: how's it going? I ought to disappear soon
[06:51] <nixternal> it is good so far, i got the dl links
[06:52] <nixternal> if i have questions in a bit, i will ping you, and when you get around...i will be here all day, so no worries if you have to go
[06:52] <nixternal> you will be back ;)
[06:52] <nixternal> plus im working on a post for your blog ;)
[06:52] <nixternal> trying to give it a title that is appropriate and to the point
[06:52] <nixternal> Help Benefit the Documentation Project   that is the first idea
[06:53] <mdke> it needs to have "forum" in it :)
[06:54] <mdke> ok, ping me with questions, and I'll check later/tomorrow
[06:54] <nixternal> thats cool, thanks!
[06:57] <jjesse> afternoon nixternal
[06:57] <mdke> cyall later
[06:57] <nixternal> hiya jjesse ;)
[06:57] <nixternal> l8r mdke, thanks again
[06:57] <mdke> thank *you*
[08:09] <jjesse> quick wiki formating question, how do i link to a subpage/
[08:10] <jjesse> for example KubuntuDocs/Edgy
[08:10] <jjesse> on my wiki page only links to Kubuntu
[08:16] <nixternal> [:KubuntuDocs/Edgy:Your Link] 
[08:17] <jjesse> thanks
[08:18] <nixternal> no problem boss
[08:18] <nixternal> ;)
[08:35] <mdke> or ["/Subpage"] 
[08:38] <nixternal> ya
[08:39] <nixternal> im getting used to just doing it like KubuntuDocs/Edgy instead of [:KubuntuDocs/Edgy:Kubuntu Edgy Documentation] 
[08:40] <nixternal> that way there people can see the subpage layout in case they get confused my simplicity
[08:40] <nixternal> that commercial != non-free software topic on sounder is getting beat to death
[08:41] <LaserJock> heh
[08:44] <jjesse> every topic on sounder gets beaten to death
