[12:50] <nixternal> alrighty...time to start planning documentation for the Ubuntu 7.04, The Fantastic Ferret
[01:38] <Plug> nixternal: is that name announced?
[03:13] <nixternal> Plug: sorry for the late answer, no, i just made that up ;)
[04:25] <poningru> anyone know what the debian's working codename for firefox is?
[04:25] <poningru> is it really iceweasel?
[04:25] <Madpilot> "Copyfox" ;)
[04:25] <jjesse> haven't heard
[04:26] <poningru> -s
[04:56] <froud> What's the difference between Ubuntu-installer and Debian-installer? Sometimes I see the installer referenced as debian and othertimes ubuntu.
[04:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> ubuntu uses debian-installer
[04:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> if its referencing debian, i think thats a bug
[05:58] <trappist> mdke: wb :)
[05:59] <mdke> thanks :)
[06:13] <mdke> does anyone know if the pot templates are all up to date?
[06:26] <LaserJock> mdke: I think so
[06:27] <LaserJock> mdke: hello! welcome back!
[06:28] <LaserJock> mdke: Things sure weren't the same without you :-)
[06:28] <LaserJock> mdke: I pushed back the doc string freeze to the 21st as we needed more proofreading time, etc.
[06:29] <LaserJock> mdke: we updated .pots
[06:29] <LaserJock> got new packages uploaded
[06:29] <LaserJock> and I got ahold of carlos and worked out the .pot naming stuff for Rossetta
[09:08] <mdke> LaserJock: the pot naming stuff should already have been working fine as there had been uploads with pot files before I left... but sounds like everything is under control, nice work :)
[09:09] <LaserJock> mdke: well, carlos said the pot naming on Rossetta was from dappers uploads
[09:10] <LaserJock> I don't know
[09:10] <LaserJock> I'm terrible with this stuff
[09:10] <LaserJock> but we sort of managed
[09:10] <LaserJock> we also managed to somewhat diffuse the russian bomb ;-)
[09:11] <mdke> yeah, that's the only thread I've read so far, I'll reply to that
[09:11] <mdke> the ubuntu desktop guide needs a new pot
[09:12] <mdke> nice work for doing it with xml2po -k though
[09:13] <LaserJock> anyway, the universe didn't explode
[09:13] <mdke> :)
[09:14] <mdke> I saw some updates to the dapper branch too
[09:14] <LaserJock> ah, not sure what that was for, Kubuntu stuff?
[09:14] <mdke> packaging guide translations?
[09:14] <mdke> some packaging changes too
[09:15] <mdke> i haven't looked at the commit logs though
[09:21] <LaserJock> I've been pretty swamped with stuff too
[09:27] <mdke> I start a new job on Monday too :/
[09:29] <LaserJock> really?
[09:29] <LaserJock> what kind of job?
[09:29] <mdke> lawyer job
[09:37] <LaserJock> are you excited?
[09:41] <mdke> LaserJock: well... I'm happy to have a job, not exactly excited
[09:42] <mdke> I'll get into it I'm sure
[09:43] <LaserJock> yep
[09:44] <LaserJock> will it mean less Ubuntu time do you think?
[09:44] <mdke> LaserJock: yes, I would think so
[09:45] <mdke> also I'm going to be fairly busy with other stuff, but I'll certainly be around
[09:46] <LaserJock> yes, I think it will be good for you
[09:46] <LaserJock> this Ubuntu stuff is fun, but terribely addictive ;-)
[09:47] <mdke> yes indeed.
[09:47] <mdke> it was a tough wrench to carry on being a lawyer, but the right thing for me, I think
[09:47] <LaserJock> yes, I've had to look at my carrer as a chemist as well
[09:51] <mdke> LaserJock: what was the outcome?
[09:52] <nixternal> wb mdke!
[09:54] <mdke> nixternal: thanks
[10:00] <hairytoes> Evening all.
[10:01] <mdke> hi hairytoes 
[10:02] <hairytoes> I wonder if someone can tell me if I've found an error in the documentation or if I'm just dumb...
[10:02] <hairytoes> I was looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo and something there doesn't make sense to me.
[10:03] <mdke> go ahead
[10:04] <hairytoes> Here's the section... I'm not clear what it's meant to say. Quote: You should always use gksudo or kdesu to run such programs, otherwise new login attempts may fail. If this happens and at login an error message reports: "Unable to read ICE authority file", log in using the failsafe terminal and execute the command below substituting user for your username.     rm /home/*/.{ICE,X}authority 
[10:04] <hairytoes> I don't see 'user' anywhere in there. Am I missing something?
[10:04] <LaserJock> mdke: I'm still wondering ;-)
[10:05] <LaserJock> mdke: I'm going to finish my PhD for sure and I'd like to stay with chemistry, but I've been thinking a bit about scientific software development
[10:05] <mdke> hairytoes: quite right. it should read "rm /home/user/.{ICE,X}authority
[10:05] <mdke> I suppose
[10:05] <nixternal> LaserJock: im going to be taking some scientific software courses here in teh next year...kind of excited truthfully about that
[10:06] <LaserJock> cool
[10:06] <mdke> hairytoes: you can correct it is you like
[10:06] <mdke> is -> if
[10:07] <hairytoes> ok.. will do. You may laugh if I screw it up - I don't do wikis :)
[10:08] <mdke> you do now :)
[10:08] <hairytoes> ok, done.
[10:08] <LaserJock> nixternal: I've often thought about creating an opensource scientific software development community/platform "sciforge"
[10:09] <hairytoes> I've been looking for an excuse to do some work on the docs. Looks like I just found one.
[10:09] <mdke> yay
[10:20] <nixternal> LaserJock: let me get some background first with these c++ scientific courses, and i will be more than happy to help you out ;)
[10:29] <mdke> nixternal: was that you adding packaging guide translations?
[10:29] <nixternal> nope
[10:29] <mdke> (sorry, haven't had time to read commit mails still)
[10:29] <mdke> ok, no worries
[10:29] <nixternal> hehe, no problem
[10:30] <mdke> damn, can't find the commit message anyhow
[10:45] <nixternal> g'nite mdke!
