[12:21] <nixternal> yay
[01:04] <mdke> so what are we gonna have in this Advanced Topics thing?
[01:05] <tonyyarusso> Whatever we can?
[01:06] <tonyyarusso> ow!
[01:16] <CIA-4> Ubuntu Documentation: mdke * r3716 /trunk/ (5 files in 3 dirs): advanced topics category
[01:17] <mdke> mpt, LaserJock, ^^ have added something cursory, feel free to suggest things
[01:24] <mpt> mdke, I suggested subtopics at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHelp/Contents
[01:25] <mdke> mpt: yeah, saw em
[01:29] <mdke> mpt: it only includes certain sections of the server material though, it's tricky to include some bits and not others
[01:29] <mdke> I'd rather have a separate server topic, probably
[01:30] <mpt> It also has a "...", so feel free to include others ...
[01:30] <mpt> I haven't looked at the ToC of the Server Guide recently, though
[01:31] <mdke> mpt: the standalone version (to be trimmed for the help system) is http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/
[01:31] <mpt> that's weird
[01:31] <mdke> essentially, we'll remove everything before chapter 4
[01:31] <mpt> In Edgy, the Server Guide has the title "Ubuntu"
[01:32] <mdke> missing entities
[01:32] <mdke> fix is in -proposed
[01:32] <mpt> heh
[01:32] <mpt> fair enough
[01:32] <CIA-4> Ubuntu Documentation: mdke * r3717 ubuntu/C/advanced-topics/advanced-topics.xml: add a link for potential action
[05:00] <Ubugtu> New bug: #42454 in ubuntu-doc "Documentation should include greater detail about setting up difficult network hardware" [Medium,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/42454
[05:18] <mpt> Ubugtu, no it isn't.
[05:20] <Madpilot> talking to the bot?
[05:33] <somerville32> mdke: Are you sleeping?
[05:40] <stdin> hi, there is a small problem with the Debugging Sound Problems page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems), under "Manually installing sound drivers" it gives the command "echo options [module-name]  [module-options]  >> /etc/modprobe.d/[module-name] " which won't work as the user has no permission to write there. It should be changed to "echo options [module-name]  [module-options]  | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/[module-name] "
[05:50] <somerville32> stdin: Please feel free to update it if you're sure you're correct.
[05:51] <stdin> ok, I will :)
[05:52] <somerville32> Thanks! :)

[04:57] <medders> hello
[05:38] <somerville32> mdke: Hi

[07:53] <mdke> somerville32: hi
[08:43] <K_Mandla> Hello all.
[08:45] <mdke> evening K_Mandla
[08:48] <K_Mandla> hey hey. I have a question ...
[08:49] <K_Mandla> would i be overstepping my bound by splitting off a lot of the info on applications on lightweight window managers?
[08:50] <K_Mandla> pages like openbox, icewm, fvwm-crystal and others say the same things, ad nauseum
[08:54] <K_Mandla> silence means consent ... :D
[08:54] <mdke> K_Mandla: where's the page?
[08:54] <K_Mandla> i'm looking at openbox, fvwm-crystal, some others like icewm
[08:54] <mdke> generally if there is a decent amount of material, it's a good idea
[08:54] <K_Mandla> is there a proper way to do that, like installation/lowmemorysystems/lighweightapps?
[08:55] <K_Mandla> *lightweightapplications ...
[08:55] <mdke> just the one level subpage, I would have thought
[08:55] <K_Mandla> ok
[08:56] <K_Mandla> i'm still in wiki weekend mode, if you hadn't noticed
[08:56] <mdke> LightweightDesktops?
[08:56] <mdke> that's great!
[08:56] <mdke> make every day a wiki day
[08:57] <K_Mandla> i couldn't find anything under that
[08:57] <K_Mandla> this would be more about apps
[08:58] <K_Mandla> the ob page talks about feh, so does fluxbox, iirc
[08:58] <K_Mandla> all of them could
[08:58] <mdke> well, to a normal user there isn't much of a different between a window manager and a desktop
[08:58] <K_Mandla> things like that
[08:58] <K_Mandla> right on.
[09:31] <jenda> Hey, K_Mandla
[09:44] <K_Mandla> hey jenda
[11:58] <Madpilot> Crap - that spammer hit wiki.u.c again...
[11:59] <mdke> same one?
[11:59] <Burgwork> yep
[12:00] <mdke> different account?
[12:00] <Madpilot> looks like the same account
[12:00] <Madpilot> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kypir?action=AttachFile
[12:00] <Burgwork> nothing on help
[12:00] <Madpilot> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecentChanges - 10hrs ago
[12:01] <Madpilot> I thought the LP admins had killed that account for us
[12:01] <mdke> me too
[12:02] <jjesse> i thought it was itneresting how long recent chnages was :)
[12:03] <jjesse> i was suprised he didn't change the name of the images
[12:05] <Madpilot> they're html files, not images. and now they're all gone - again
[12:05] <Madpilot> mdke, you in #launchpad to get an admin's attention?
[12:06] <mdke> trying yeah
