| LaserJock | mdke nixternal: did you guys know that Universe is being turned on by default in Feisty? | 01:13 |
| nixternal | yup | 01:14 |
| nixternal | LaserJock: Universe and Multivers for Kubuntu, noted in help:/kubuntu/add-applications :) | 01:14 |
| LaserJock | excellent | 01:14 |
| LaserJock | I just found out | 01:14 |
| nixternal | haha | 01:14 |
| nixternal | wth, you are the mastah of the universe | 01:14 |
| LaserJock | they never told us | 01:14 |
| LaserJock | as far as I know | 01:15 |
| LaserJock | I knew it was in the works since UDS-Paris | 01:15 |
| LaserJock | but I didn't know the finally implemented it | 01:15 |
| nixternal | wow since Paris, and within the past 2 or so weeks they finally did it | 01:17 |
| LaserJock | yep | 01:19 |
| nixternal | hey, for MOTU, is it true another MOTU has to sign my key before I can even be considered? | 01:19 |
| LaserJock | it looks like the mostly did it because of the easy-codec installtion stuff | 01:19 |
| nixternal | ahh | 01:19 |
| nixternal | ya, easy codec garbage. | 01:19 |
| LaserJock | well ... | 01:20 |
| LaserJock | tbh my key was not signed by a Debian or Ubuntu dev before becoming a MOTU | 01:20 |
| LaserJock | it *was* signed | 01:20 |
| nixternal | well I know a few people like that, but I heard it is the *new* rule | 01:20 |
| LaserJock | they best thing is to get a DD | 01:21 |
| nixternal | there has to be a DD in the Chicago land area | 01:21 |
| LaserJock | there's a webpage to locate them | 01:21 |
| nixternal | ya, I am looking for it | 01:21 |
| nixternal | I thought I had it bookmarked | 01:21 |
| LaserJock | I honestly don't know what the policy is, I've never seen it written down | 01:22 |
| LaserJock | I saw your comment in brandon's blog | 01:22 |
| dsas | nixternal: https://nm.debian.org/gpg_offer.php | 01:23 |
| dsas | nixternal: also see biglumber.com for general key signers (lots of familiar names there though) | 01:23 |
| LaserJock | I used biglumber to do mine | 01:23 |
| nixternal | dsas: been on the biglumber thing for over a year, never had anyone even contact me | 01:24 |
| LaserJock | it'd be nice if they set a "distance" away from somebody you had to be | 01:24 |
| nixternal | no parties in the area or anything related | 01:24 |
| LaserJock | nixternal: I just looked for somebody in Reno and emailed them | 01:24 |
| nixternal | oh sweet, Carlo Segre is a DD | 01:24 |
| nixternal | good deal, so there are 2 DDs in the Chicago area, and one is/was in the Chicago GLUG | 01:25 |
| dsas | nixternal: don't you run a loco team? you could do a key signing there. | 01:25 |
| nixternal | dsas: we do key signings | 01:25 |
| nixternal | we just don't have anyone cool :) | 01:25 |

| jjesse | hiya LaserJock | 02:21 |
| LaserJock | hi jjesse | 02:21 |
| jjesse | ok since no one is responding in #kubuntu, what's the easiest way to migrate from one kubuntu box to another w/o loosing any of my contacts/email/etc? | 02:24 |
| dsas | copy all of your .directories (probably .kde/)? | 02:27 |
| dsas | I'm not a kde user myself :) | 02:27 |
| dsas | and use imap for email :) | 02:27 |
| LaserJock | jjesse: you could tar up your ~/ | 02:28 |
| LaserJock | that's what I usually do | 02:28 |
| jjesse | and then untar it? | 02:28 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 02:29 |
| LaserJock | I actually usually just untar it to ~/tmp or something | 02:29 |
| LaserJock | and copy in just the stuff I need | 02:29 |
| LaserJock | it kinda keeps things cleaned up | 02:29 |
| LaserJock | and I keep the tar file as a backup | 02:29 |
| jjesse | interesting | 02:29 |

| mpt | jjesse, and once you've figured it out, create a "Migrate to another computer" assistant :-) | 03:08 |
| nixternal | hehe | 03:09 |
| mpt | because it would be a bad look for Ubiquity to make it easier to migrate from Windows to Ubuntu than (K)Ubuntu to (K)Ubuntu | 03:10 |

| nixternal | mpt: you know what, don't think we have really looked at migrating for *buntu to *buntu, emphasis was always on Windows or Mac to *buntu | 03:13 |

| bodhizazen | Can I get some help with the Ubuntu wiki ? | 08:47 |
| Madpilot | evening, bodhizazen - just fire your questions off, someone will be along to help | 08:47 |
| bodhizazen | I can not log in to edit wiki pages | 08:48 |
| bodhizazen | I enter my password, get to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserPreferences | 08:49 |
| bodhizazen | when I then change to a page to edit I'm back to "Log in to edit" | 08:50 |
| bodhizazen | enter user name | 08:50 |
| bodhizazen | enter password | 08:50 |
| LaserJock | did you reload the page? | 08:51 |
| bodhizazen | no | 08:51 |
| bodhizazen | on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserPreferences | 08:51 |
| bodhizazen | I can either log out ... | 08:52 |
| bodhizazen | or save changes | 08:52 |
| bodhizazen | If I save changes I get this : Please login before trying to save your preferences. | 08:53 |
| bodhizazen | with this : Clear message | 08:53 |
| bodhizazen | which brings me here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserPreferences?action=show | 08:53 |
| LaserJock | if you log in | 08:55 |
| LaserJock | then go back to the page you want to edit | 08:55 |
| LaserJock | and hit reload | 08:55 |
| bodhizazen | No I do not | 08:55 |
| bodhizazen | I always go to the user preferences window | 08:55 |
| bodhizazen | which puts me in an endless loop | 08:56 |
| bodhizazen | When I go back to the page I want to edit | 08:56 |
| bodhizazen | I always get log in to edit | 08:56 |
| bodhizazen | either using my browser forward/back /reload | 08:56 |
| bodhizazen | or entering a url | 08:56 |
| bodhizazen | :( | 08:56 |
| bodhizazen | OK I'm here : | 08:58 |
| bodhizazen | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuForums/Beginners_FAQ | 08:58 |
| bodhizazen | I need to transfer content here : | 08:59 |
| LaserJock | ok | 08:59 |
| bodhizazen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/FAQ | 08:59 |
| LaserJock | so if you go there and hit reload does that help? | 08:59 |
| bodhizazen | Log in here OK : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuForums/Beginners_FAQ | 09:00 |
| bodhizazen | Can edit that page ... | 09:00 |
| bodhizazen | which is how the content was added in the first place :0 | 09:00 |
| bodhizazen | K | 09:00 |
| bodhizazen | now go here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/FAQ | 09:00 |
| bodhizazen | Page does not exist ... | 09:01 |
| bodhizazen | create new empty page ... | 09:01 |
| bodhizazen | OK that time I'm in ... | 09:02 |
| bodhizazen | Transferred content ... | 09:02 |
| bodhizazen | Need to delete this page now : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuForums/Beginners_FAQ | 09:02 |
| bodhizazen | Argh it is an intermittent problem | 09:03 |
| Madpilot | bodhizazen, to delete a page, click the More Actions dropdown, choose Delete Page right at the bottom | 09:04 |
| bodhizazen | OK ... | 09:04 |
| bodhizazen | That was one question, you do not mind if I delete pages then | 09:05 |
| bodhizazen | :) | 09:05 |
| bodhizazen | do you care if I document in community or the official ubuntu guide ? | 09:06 |
| bodhizazen | And any ideas on why I get caught in an endless log-in loop ? | 09:06 |
| bodhizazen | o,O | 09:06 |
| bodhizazen | Is my account locked from time to time ? | 09:07 |
| bodhizazen | Is it a problem that I need to log into the official guide first before community ? | 09:08 |
| bodhizazen | And why would that be ? | 09:08 |
| LaserJock | normally we redirect ont delete | 09:08 |
| Madpilot | bodhizazen, if you haven't already, you should join the docteam/wikiteam mailing list. This channel can be pretty quiet - as you're discovering - and email is better for longer questions sometimes. | 09:12 |
| bodhizazen | K | 09:12 |
| bodhizazen | You probably don't want to hear this, but this has been a pervasive problem | 09:13 |
| Madpilot | the login issue? That sounds almost like a cookie issue w/ your browser | 09:13 |
| bodhizazen | I have 6 launchpad accounts ... The first 5 worked for a while ... | 09:13 |
| bodhizazen | then this ... | 09:13 |
| Madpilot | ouch | 09:13 |
| bodhizazen | this is my 6th account ... | 09:13 |
| Madpilot | #launchpad is the LP admin hangout, it's another quiet channel but there are ppl there | 09:14 |
| bodhizazen | And now I need access because I started a Beginners Team in the Ubuntu Forums | 09:14 |
| bodhizazen | So you will be seeing more of me | 09:14 |
| bodhizazen | I have wiki experience, all outside because of this problem .... | 09:15 |
| Madpilot | cool, I just noticed the Beginner's Team thread in the Absolute Beginner's forum | 09:15 |

| mdke | Laser_away: yes | 10:08 |
| bodhizazen | Wanted to say hi | 10:08 |
| bodhizazen | you may have seen me in the forums ... | 10:08 |
| bodhizazen | Starting a beginners Team :) | 10:08 |
| bodhizazen | We are interested in starting a beginners wiki | 10:09 |
| mdke | what do you mean by that? | 10:09 |
| bodhizazen | introduces ideas and then links to existing wiki pages for detailed info | 10:09 |
| mdke | have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions | 10:10 |
| bodhizazen | :) | 10:11 |
| mdke | seems to have the same goals, you can probably simply work to improve that page | 10:11 |
| bodhizazen | I have a few experienced members of the team and we would like to work on existing pages as well ... | 10:12 |
| mdke | good | 10:12 |
| mdke | you might also be interested in read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum | 10:12 |
| bodhizazen | I joined your mailing list earlier | 10:12 |
| mdke | that's a project I tried to set up because I'm aware of all the good material on the forum which we'd like to integrate into our docs | 10:13 |
| mdke | as yet there are no real contributors to the team though | 10:13 |
| bodhizazen | Well I hope to change that :) | 10:13 |
| mdke | that would be really great | 10:14 |
| mdke | another user expressed interest on the mailing list in a similar idea recently | 10:14 |
| bodhizazen | I was having problems logging into the wiki ... | 10:14 |
| mdke | sorted now? | 10:14 |
| bodhizazen | ?? | 10:14 |
| mdke | did you resolve the problems? | 10:14 |
| bodhizazen | I will be in touch if I have problems | 10:14 |
| mdke | fine. Look forward to hearing from you on the mailing list :) | 10:15 |
| bodhizazen | I have gotten requests for screen shots in the wiki | 10:15 |
| mdke | have a read of those pages | 10:15 |
| bodhizazen | how do you feel about that ? | 10:15 |
| mdke | sure, quite a lot of pages have screenshots | 10:16 |
| bodhizazen | Well wanted to say Hi | 10:16 |
| bodhizazen | I do not know if it would help if I were a member of your team ? | 10:17 |
| mdke | nice to have you on board. Have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide too if you haven't already | 10:17 |
| bodhizazen | I have wiki experience :) | 10:17 |
| mdke | sure, go ahead and join. instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiTeam | 10:17 |
| mdke | prod me if I forget to approve you | 10:17 |
| bodhizazen | I would like to add a category ~ Beginners ? | 10:17 |
| mdke | let's talk about that on the mailing list a bit | 10:18 |
| bodhizazen | K | 10:18 |
| bodhizazen | Did not see where to apply to your team ? | 10:18 |
| bodhizazen | saw your page on launchpad | 10:18 |
| bodhizazen | which is how I got the mailing list | 10:18 |
| mdke | the page I posted last explains how to apply | 10:19 |
| bodhizazen | K | 10:19 |
| mdke | have a read of all of those pages | 10:19 |
| bodhizazen | :) | 10:19 |
| mdke | I have to go now, see you soon | 10:19 |
| bodhizazen | FYI our channel is #ubuntuforums-beginners | 10:19 |
| mdke | ok | 10:20 |
| mdke | you should feel free to hang out and discuss doc related things in here | 10:20 |
| bodhizazen | :) | 10:20 |
| bodhizazen | I'll do that thanks | 10:21 |
