| Jordan_U | Witchery, I guess I was wrong :) try without the /examples | 05:00 |

| Witchery | what is Diaper | 05:03 |
| Witchery | lol | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | !paste | Witchery | 05:03 |
| jrib | Jordan_U: oh, in that case definitely ask them :) | 05:03 |
| ubotu | Witchery: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 05:03 |
| Witchery | i was pasting it | 05:04 |
| jrib | heh, "diaper" | 05:04 |
| Witchery | lol | 05:04 |
| jrib | Witchery: right, but you should use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org so you don't flood the channel | 05:04 |
| Witchery | dont know how im a newbee | 05:04 |
| jrib | Witchery: it's pretty straightfoward, just visit the site | 05:05 |
| Witchery | i dont know quite about lyn-x yet | 05:05 |
| Witchery | ok i can do that too but i need to play my dvd or im going the easy way to windows | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, That looks fine, you should be able to play DVD's in VLC now | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, You might want to set it up so that DVD's open in VLC when you insert them rather than Totem though ( as totem will just give you an error ) | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, To do that go to System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media | 05:06 |
| jrib | Witchery: well you can use firefox to visit the site right? | 05:06 |
| Witchery | yep | 05:07 |
| Witchery | what happened to jordon_u | 05:07 |
| jrib | Jordan_U is still here | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, Just go to VLC and Open -> Disk | 05:07 |
| Witchery | ok there | 05:08 |
| Witchery | so why did you tell me to go to that address what will that do for me | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, That is just for future reference | 05:09 |
| Witchery | but i was just telling you what it said, if i put it on that page what do i do with it then? | 05:10 |
| Witchery | you got to remember im lame when it comes to commands and using lyn-x | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, Would you like to set it so VLC plays DVD's automatically when you insert them? | 05:11 |
| Witchery | yes please | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, When you are in a channel that is crouded like #ubuntu ( in the future ) it is impolite to paste large amounts of text because there are so many people talking, so just know in the future to use pastebin instead | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, go to System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media ... | 05:13 |
| Witchery | ok hold | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | Then when that is open go to the media tab at the top ... | 05:13 |

| Witchery | done it | 05:14 |
| Witchery | now my dvd drive will not open, this computer is making me mad | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, Now change the command for playing DVD;s from "totem %M" ( or whatever it is ) to "vlc dvd://" | 05:15 |
| Witchery | hold please | 05:15 |
| Witchery | ok did that | 05:16 |
| Witchery | is there anything else? | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | Ok, now it should open VLC automatically when you insert a DVD | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | nope :) | 05:17 |
| Witchery | ill try | 05:17 |
| Witchery | im having trouble opening the dvd drive something else is wrong | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | Witchery, You may need to close VLC first because you can't eject a DVD while a program is reading from it | 05:19 |
| Witchery | i have to turn off the computer so ill be back if you will still be there | 05:19 |
| Jordan_U | I will | 05:19 |
| Witchery | ok, thanks for your help | 05:20 |

| habeeb | jhutchins: I can't even scroll a freaking myspace page.. | 04:53 |
| habeeb | When I scroll I get 4-5 seconds wait time for it to de-freeze. | 04:54 |

| habeeb | _without_ auto/smooth scrolling | 04:54 |

| jono | mc44: yah, cause I am reponsible for everything ubuntu related....riiiiiiight :P | 04:55 |
| richb | habeeb: Little? *laughs* It shows the system calls that a process makes. | 04:55 |

| jono | mc44: would much prefer you fix bugs :) | 04:56 |

| jono | yes, yes I will | 05:02 |

| Hobbsee | QUESTION:how old do you have to be to bea member | 05:03 |
| Hobbsee | Answer: no age limit | 05:03 |
| jono | Hobbsee: I have no idea, I would like to think I am owed enough beer for the entire UDS, but I also know I no doubt owe others beer which might cance some of it out | 05:03 |
| Hobbsee | haha | 05:03 |
| === kunstar [n=kunal@87.113.66.246.plusnet.pte-ag2.dyn.plus.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | anyone can be a member of the Ubuntu project :) | 05:04 |
| jono | we encourage everyone to get involves, whatever the age | 05:04 |
| elkbuntu | <Belutz> QUESTION: is the loco leader must be an ubuntu member? or can he/she can just an ubuntero? | 05:04 |
| === jgoss [n=josh@24.115.218.54.res-cmts.sth.ptd.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | elkbuntu: the loco leader does not need to be an ubuntu member no, the main thing a loco leader needs to be is determined and keen to grow a team :) | 05:05 |
| elkbuntu | <gumpa> QUESTION where is the best place to learn about making a custom livecd? | 05:05 |
| === google [n=google@61.144.54.49] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | gumpa: good question, I am not entirely sure - I have never rolled a livecd before - but I would suggest you should ask in #ubuntu-devel to see who has worked on it | 05:06 |
| === Nightrose [n=lydia@port-87-234-150-228.dynamic.qsc.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | it seems rolling live cds is a pretty straightforward process | 05:06 |
| === adrian_ [n=chatzill@85-211-17-45.dyn.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | a number of derivatives have appeared due to this process being pretty simple | 05:06 |
| jono | cred to knoppix too for making it pretty simple :) | 05:07 |
| elkbuntu | <PriceChild> QUESTION: Do you have any ideas on what can be done to further help the integration of the forums with the main ubuntu community? | 05:07 |
| === treb0r [n=rob@86.53.37.85] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === slek [n=sl@pD95ED442.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | PriceChild: loads of ideas, and I would be really keen to discuss them at the UDS | 05:07 |
| jono | I think integration of the forums involves a few things: | 05:07 |
| === Webspot [i=d9b3743b@gateway/web/cgi-irc/ircatwork.com/x-4694a682a8ff4720] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | * technical - ensuring the forums works with LP sign-on, getting forums info out to other source, feeding the forums with data from locos, list integration etc | 05:08 |
| === piller [n=piller@piller64.sns.ornl.gov] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | * social - ensuring people use the forums - this involves recommending people to go there, encouraging community growth there and more | 05:08 |
| jono | the technical side can be discussed better with the distro and dev team, whereas I am keen to help the forums grow and continue to be integral in the community | 05:09 |
| jono | its getting better that for sure, and the forums council are doing a stunning job | 05:09 |
| elkbuntu | <mART> jono: QUESTION: Do you think the extensive use of launchpad will create a parallel universe for some activities especially in the Gnome community, E.g. translations in launchpad. How do you think the development process could be improved to avoid parallel efforts? | 05:09 |
| jono | mART: LP is a complex subject, and I am not the best person to speak on it - there is a seperate team for that - I just work with the Ubuntu community, but as ever, I have thoughts and opinions :P : | 05:10 |
| === mode/#ubuntu-classroom [-o Hobbsee] by ChanServ | ||
| === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | the idea behind LP is to be centralised and to work with other bug trackers and systems - its real strength is when projects use LP and they can communicate together | 05:11 |
| jono | but naturally other upstream projects have their own systems in place, and I know the LP team are keen to get feedback about how to work with these projects | 05:12 |
| === superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | I think technically LP is pretty damn good, and it will live or die based on its ability to hook these projects together, which is the mission of LP | 05:12 |
| jono | ok, before I continue, Hobbsee pointed me at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization which could be useful for the livecd question earlier | 05:13 |
| === bas89 [n=bas89@p57ad3883.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | <Belutz> QUESTION: do you have any suggestion of what to be put in presetations for Introducing Ubuntu and Feisty Fawn demo? | 05:13 |
| jono | Belutz: aha! now you are talking :) | 05:13 |
| jono | I love presenting :) | 05:13 |
| === zever [n=zever@kotnet-145.kulnet.kuleuven.be] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | a few things to remember: | 05:14 |
| jono | * target the talk at the audience - make sure it matches their expectations - geeks want technicality - regular people want less technical discussion | 05:14 |
| === vaiursch [n=erwin@84-72-190-106.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | * make it interesting - by dynamic, exciting and different | 05:14 |
| jono | * don't fill your slides with text, it looks rubbish | 05:15 |
| jono | * use real-world details and examples of where Ubuntu is kicking arse - look at the loco teams, how the community is growing and more | 05:15 |
| jono | I do some of this in my talks, check out herding cats to see some of these theories in practise | 05:15 |
| === Gabz [n=chatzill@dsl-202-173-185-172.nsw.westnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| elkbuntu | harrisony> QUESTION: How do you react to the people that boycott launchpad and ubuntu due to the licencing of LP? | 05:15 |
| jono | harrisony: it doesnt surprise me at all that people bitch about LP's closed source nature, it rubs up against people in the free software people | 05:16 |
| jono | I think boycotting Ubuntu is crazy for these reasons | 05:16 |
| jono | Ubuntu is Ubuntu, not LP | 05:16 |
| elkbuntu | <pixelpapst> QUESTION: since you mentioned pushing ppl. to use forums, should I point people to forums or answers.lp nowadays to look for help ? | 05:17 |
| jono | pixelpapst: good question, and personally I would recommend both - the forums has one thing answers.lp.net doesnt - a huge community, but answers.lp.net is a great format for support - so both have their merits | 05:18 |
| jono | I am also keen to see how we can bridge the two, but thats just some personal thoughts for the future :) | 05:18 |
| elkbuntu | <harrisony> QUESTION: how would you rate microsofts open source/linux efforts | 05:18 |

| jono | harrisony: Microsoft are tough company to comment on, because they are SO FREAKING HUGE | 05:18 |
| jono | like any large company, there are good guys/girls and bad guys/girls | 05:19 |
| jono | I know a bunch of people at MS who are incredibly good, have their heads screwed on, and know what to do - they live a different culture, but they are good people who believe in choice | 05:19 |
| === nmrm [n=nuno@87-196-246-240.net.novis.pt] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | then, on the flip side, I know some idiots, and people who believe that MS is the only way to go | 05:19 |
| jono | I think as a company, they still don't get it - they still don't understand that what drives Linux and free software is community, not code | 05:20 |

| elkbuntu | <richb> QUESTION: Do you think the trend of of supplying flavours of Linux based on desktop environments or role will spread further (Currently Ubuntu and FC7)? | 05:21 |
| jono | richb: possibly, but I think the trend of provding distros on "something unique" will continue - look at Ubuntu Studio, or Trixbox, or Gentoo, or Linux From Scratch - this what makes free software incredible | 05:22 |
| jono | but there will always be popular general purpose distros like Ubuntu and Fedora | 05:23 |
| elkbuntu | <PriceChild> jono, QUESTION: The Launchpad devs have seemed very reluctant to help integrate the forums wth launchpad. Supposedly due to the very good reason that Launchpad != Ubuntu. The forums have integrated a few features like links to accounts and related bugs to posts. Do you still think that this integration can be two way? | 05:23 |
| === Telep [n=telep@pc9.htk.fi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | PriceChild: I know this sounds evasive, but I am not the best person to answer this because (a) I am not on the LP team and (b) I don't know :P - I recommend you speak to the LP team, via mrevell | 05:24 |
| elkbuntu | <Belutz> QUESTION: when are you going to make a loco tour in south east asia to talk about loco? you can also make a metal concert while making a tour :D | 05:24 |
| === zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | Belutz: I would love to do a LoCo tour, and I am working to get out to different chunks of the world - I would love to get to south east asia - if something is happening, mail me and I will try to get over | 05:25 |
| elkbuntu | <ukubuntu> QUESTION, how does a person who loves UBUNTU and the community, but cannot code, earn a living? | 05:25 |
| jono | I am always keen to get out and visit loco teams | 05:25 |
| jono | so mail me with details of your loco teams | 05:25 |
| === CheshireViking_ [n=Cheshire@unaffiliated/cheshireviking] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | and always keen to and drink beer and watch metal too :) | 05:25 |

| === pointwood [n=pointwoo@89.150.85.151] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | ukubuntu: loads of ways :) you can help with your loco team, advocacy, documentation, help people in the forums and on IRC - I recommend you ask some people today about how to help and they can help you get started :) | 05:26 |
| === josef [n=josef@85-124-200-48.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | <luis_lopez> Question: What's the average time you have to be involved doing community work or development before applying to be a ubuntu member? | 05:27 |
| jono | luis_lopez: there is no average time really, its about how much you achieve - I always recommend people to have engaged in two or three projects, and done some real things that they can show off - this could be organising events, packaging things, translating apps or whatever - the CC looks for sustained contributions when deciding to make people members - so demonstrating you have done a bunch of things is always the best route to take :) | 05:28 |
| elkbuntu | <Belutz> QUESTION: how does ubuntu/canonical acknowledged loco contributions? | 05:28 |
| === Monika|K [n=chatzill@dslb-084-056-238-111.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | Belutz: I don't quite understand the question | 05:28 |
| jono | people are acknowledged like anyone else in the community | 05:29 |
| elkbuntu | <deniz_ogut> jono QUESTION: What can you say about the Full Circle magazine, Ubuntu community magazine released issue #0. Perspectives for the future? | 05:29 |
| jono | deniz_ogut: do you work on it? | 05:29 |

| === samgee [n=samgee@239.183-241-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | I had a look at it and I think its interesting - I have been looking to get in touch with the authors about a few things - so if they can get in touch with me that would be great | 05:30 |
| jono | I think an ubuntu magazine is a pretty nifty idea, although a lot of these kinds of magazines due due to production time | 05:31 |
| jono | I hope this continues :) | 05:31 |
| elkbuntu | <tonytiger> jono: QUESTION. As Community Manager, you visit various communities at events around the world. What does a Community Manager do on a day-by-day basis, sat at home, though? | 05:31 |
| jono | tonytiger: all kinds of stuff: | 05:31 |
| jono | * answer day to day queries about a vast range of things - I get *stacks* of email, and I need to respond to these emails that ask specific things | 05:32 |
| jono | * develop strategy for teams - help to grow, improve and better run teams - so I recommend teams do specific things | 05:32 |
| === vaiursch [n=erwin@84-72-190-106.dclient.hispeed.ch] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | * resolve conflict - I often act as a middleman when things blow up - I help to calm the situation and restore some peace | 05:32 |
| jono | * develop new plans and ideas - I develop new ideas (such as Ubuntu Open Week) to help develop and expand the community | 05:33 |
| jono | * work with Canonical - I also work with Canonical to ensure the connection with the community is always open and community is a key part of our business | 05:33 |
| jono | oh, and eat sandwiches and donuts :) | 05:33 |
| elkbuntu | <superm1> QUESTION: what do you think its going to take for more linux friendly vendors to begin shipping ubuntu/debian friendly packages? It seems the popular trend is still rpms. | 05:33 |
| jono | superm1: I think it needs a few things: | 05:34 |
| === bdmurray [n=bdmurray@c-24-21-235-175.hsd1.mn.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | * solid community infrastructure and documentation - we need a big and solid community who can help companies package their software - MOTU is critical here - if *anyone* wants to get into packaging JOIN MOTU!! :) | 05:34 |
| jono | * good ISV relations at Canonical - for business relationships we need a solid ISV department and a good partner programme - this is being run by Malcolm Yates who is a hero among men | 05:35 |
| === Sanne [n=Sanne@p548dae1e.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | I really encourage the community to make packages as easy as possible - we should have online resources that could make any knuckle dragging idiot able to package something :) | 05:35 |
| === KalleDK [n=no@0x5552e14f.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| elkbuntu | <mc44> QUESTION: Community support seems to be a rather disparate effort with forums, various irc channels, launchpad, mailing lists, locos, wiki help, official documentation etc. How do you think support can be improved in the future? (/me apparantly missed this one) | 05:35 |
| jono | mc44: I think we need to figure ways in which to tie these things together where they make sense, but to also respect different mediums for what they are - some people love lists and hate forums, some love forums and hate lists and just about everyone loves IRC | 05:36 |
| jono | we need to make sure we can share information but respect the different types of medium | 05:37 |
| jono | thats a *tough* challenge and one that I often think about, but there is no clear solution | 05:37 |
| === josef [n=josef@85-124-200-48.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | I think the interim is that we make *all* our communities strong and have good relations between them | 05:37 |
| elkbuntu | <mART> jono: QUESTION: What do you think of the idea of creating some kind of ubuntu club that you can join when installing ubuntu. I could imagine this to be something like Apples iDisk Service used to be in the pre-.Mac era or like the Nintendo club. The difference would be that it only would be used to improve community interaction without commercial interest. | 05:37 |
| jono | mART: I think the Ubuntu club people join is the Ubuntu cOmmunity | 05:38 |
| jono | I think we need to make sure we can make it a sexy thing for people - interesting, exciting and motivating - and make it easy to join | 05:38 |
| elkbuntu | <pwnedd> jono: QUESTION: Is there any good place where people can request / fill requests for features or articles related to Ubuntu? (I'm thinking along the lines of Wikipedia's requested articles).. | 05:38 |
| === slek [n=sl@pD95ED442.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | pwnedd: right now, I don't think so - but I recommend you speak to the docs team - it would be really useful to have a list of what needs doing external to the Ubuntu community, such as with wikipedia - I would love to see wikipedia filled out with more content about ubuntu | 05:39 |
| elkbuntu | <ukubuntu> QUESTION, How small can a loco team be? Do you need technically able people in it to be an official loco.? | 05:40 |
| jono | ukubuntu: I loco team can be tiny, and you don;t need to be technical - the key thing a loco needs is people who are keen to grow a team - it needs people who are willing and excited at encourage new people and encourage a team to develop | 05:40 |
| === zitrone [n=ananas@xdslcx225.osnanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | but always check to see if a loco exists in your area first | 05:41 |
| jono | its essential that we have one loco per region and do not fragment | 05:41 |
| elkbuntu | <Belutz> QUESTION: I mean, what if a loco team become inactive? and is there a reward for active loco, such as more stickers and cds for that loco team? | 05:41 |
| === DRF [n=daniel@host86-144-110-126.range86-144.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | Belutz: the plan is that approved locos get more "stuff" available to them such as with the feisty cds | 05:42 |
| jono | Belutz: in the future we will send approved locos event boxes to help run events | 05:42 |
| jono | and we make other resources available to approved locos | 05:42 |
| jono | if the team becomes inactive, it is key that the team is acknowledged as not being active - there is currently no process in place for this, and there needs to be | 05:42 |
| elkbuntu | <harrisony> QUESTION:do you want another email (from me) to deal with :D | 05:43 |
| === jono listens to Cannibal Corpse- awesome | ||
| jono | harrisony: another mail? where was the first one - or were you the person trying to sell me Viagra? :P | 05:43 |
| jono | ahh, because I get heaps | 05:43 |
| elkbuntu | he's offering to add to your workload | 05:44 |
| jono | yeah, bring on the mail | 05:44 |
| === franklin [n=franklin@200.157.229.167] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | although: | 05:44 |
| jono | if people can answer questions before coming to me, its a huge help, otherwise I get a bit overloaded | 05:44 |
| jono | so, for loco questions - ask loco-contacts first as an example | 05:44 |
| elkbuntu | <reiki_work> QUESTION: I have been an Ubuntu user since August of 2005. Wehn do you think linux ingeneral will finally "seize the day" and get organized enough to seriously threaten Microsoft's hold on the world's wallets? | 05:44 |
| === franklin [n=franklin@200.157.229.167] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | reiki_work: where we are different in the free software world is that we are iterative - lots of small steps | 05:45 |
| jono | there will be no big day when we officially kick their ass | 05:45 |
| jono | we are making lots of tiny steps and making progress, and its the best method - slow moving predators are always the hardest to deal with | 05:45 |
| jono | and Microsoft has struggled in this regard - traditionally they never saw us as a risk, and our slow moving,consistant progress snuck up on them | 05:46 |
| elkbuntu | <Hobbsee> jono: QUESTION: when will you write all the MOTU documentation for us, kthnksbye! | 05:46 |
| jono | Hobbsee: haha, unlikely, I have my own rather bountiful workload to tend to :) | 05:46 |
| elkbuntu | <sampbar> QUESTION: is there any staff members which could do Question and Answer sessions with school IT staff? | 05:46 |

| jono | sampbar: for education, there is a chap called Richard Weiderman at Canonical who is a good person to speak to | 05:47 |

| elkbuntu | <jsgotangco> QUESTION: When is the next jono album be out in the P2P servers | 05:47 |
| jono | jsgotangco: heh, I am currently working on some prep bits and pieces for a new album, not to be recorded in 24 hours mind you :) | 05:48 |
| jono | I hope to have something released later this year :) | 05:48 |
| elkbuntu | <mc44> QUESTION: If you were asking a question of yourself, what do you think the most important question ywould be? And what is the answer? | 05:48 |
| jono | mc44: wow, awesome question! | 05:48 |

| === s1 [n=sb@p548C416B.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | I think I would ask "Where do you draw the line between being a Canonical employee and being a community member?" | 05:49 |
| === saramath [n=ferna@kumi.rutgers.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | and the answer: | 05:49 |
| === zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c1-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | my philosophy is that the community needs to trust me, and I will never risk that trust - so that requires that I am always open, honest and frank in my responses - with me you get me, not a corporate droid | 05:50 |
| === Krishna [n=Krishna@59.92.142.255] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jono | and part of this responsibility is tell Canonical when they are smoking crack as well as telling the community when it is smoking said crack | 05:51 |
| === brainsik [n=brainsik@adsl-75-60-28-97.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | trust is essential to me, utterly essential - I am here for the community first and foremost | 05:51 |
| elkbuntu | <tonytiger> jono: QUESTION. Linux communities have a tendency for the over-keen but well-meaning members to dominate, perhaps not in the best way. How do loco teams and other small advocacy groups stop this from happening, and ensure Ubuntu is presented in a fair light. | 05:51 |
| === turox [n=chatzill@dslb-084-057-234-192.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | tonytiger: this is always tough, and its important that teams encourage a certain workflow - and this should be to be enthusiastic and balanced | 05:52 |
| jono | there are lots of examples where people get a bit keen and make an ass of themselves, but with some gentle nudges and guidance the vast majority of people get the hang of it | 05:53 |

| === jarlath [n=ja@89.100.245.157] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | Belutz: its tough, and I enforce my work hours and relaxation hours - I do lots of other stuff with the band, recording, hanging out with friends and such | 05:54 |
| jono | I recently split with my girlfriend, so thats given me lots of time too | 05:54 |
| jono | but it is a tough balance, particularly for such a public facing job | 05:55 |
| jono | sometimes, I just need to unplug, but the problem is that community issues can escalate when I unplug, and for conflict that can be a bad thing | 05:55 |
| elkbuntu | <ukubuntu> Question There is a Ubuntu-UK loco, where could I find a more localised group that is not just a lug? are there lists? Are there such @town@ locos in the UK? | 05:55 |
| jono | ukubuntu: the recommendation process is to organise local meetings as part of that loco - speak to LoudMouthMan for more details | 05:56 |
| elkbuntu | <tonytiger> jono: QUESTION. Sub-question then is how do you control the damage these people can do whilst you're re-educating them? | 05:56 |

| === eRazo1 [n=madhu@59.92.191.246] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jono | tonytiger: some damage will always occur while people learn the ropes, but if the community is understanding, its less of an issue - and usually when someone screws up and the community makes them realise, they don't screw up again - its like when you burn your fingers on the fire as a child, you don't touch it again - the key is not making it so that kid is a shivering wreck whenever they see a fire - we need a balanced approach | 05:57 |

| LaserJock | so today I'm going to try to do a little more | 06:06 |
| === rohan [n=rohan@unaffiliated/rohan] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | First thing I'm going to have us do is set up a working package development system: | 06:06 |
| LaserJock | sudo apt-get install devscripts debhelper dpatch cdbs dh-make patchutils fakeroot lintian pbuilder | 06:06 |
| LaserJock | These packages have all kinds of useful tools. | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | pbuilder is the only one that takes a bit to set up so I've tweaked a build script that comes with it to work with Ubuntu. first, grab it: | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | wget http://tiber.tauware.de/~laserjock/pbuilder-ubuntu | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | then you need to rename it to pbuilder-<release you want> (like feisty or edgy) and put it somewhere in your PATH. You can copy the script to pbuilder-<another Ubuntu release> and it'll be ready to go. | 06:08 |
| LaserJock | Now a pbuilder is a minimal Ubuntu install built in a chroot environment. What it allows us to do is build the binary packages (.deb) from the source package without having to install all the build dependencies on our machine. | 06:08 |
| LaserJock | It also help make sure the build dependencies declared in the source package are correct, as the pbuilder environment has only a minimal set of packages installed. | 06:08 |
| LaserJock | So, lets create a feisty pbuilder: | 06:09 |
| LaserJock | make sure to have a pbuilder-feisty script in you path and then run | 06:09 |
| LaserJock | pbuilder-feisty create | 06:09 |

| LaserJock | WARNING: pbuilder takes a fair amount of bandwidth and time, if you're on dialup or impatient just skip this step :-) | 06:13 |
| LaserJock | you should be able to create a feisty pbuilder on dapper or edgy (that's the fun of pbuilder) | 06:14 |

| LaserJock | I strongly recommend you use a pbuilder environment | 06:15 |
| === zorglu_ [n=zorglub@165.43.102-84.rev.gaoland.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | you *can* use dpkg-buildpackage but it is messy for your system and can cause some problems in the source package sometimes | 06:16 |
| LaserJock | elkbuntu: next | 06:16 |
| elkbuntu | <ranf> LaserJock, QUESTION does it work for gutsy too? | 06:17 |
| LaserJock | I don't think so yet | 06:17 |
| LaserJock | we need a version of debootstrap that contains scripts for gutsy | 06:17 |
| LaserJock | usually that's done fairly soon after the repos open | 06:17 |
| LaserJock | in the mean time you can actually dist-upgrade a feisty pbuilder | 06:18 |
| === Krishna [n=Krishna@59.92.142.255] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | elkbuntu: more? | 06:19 |
| elkbuntu | <habeeb> QUESTION: Will there be a repeat or something of this session? Because I'm not on Ubuntu right now, and I would like to try it out, ask questions etc. | 06:19 |
| elkbuntu | LaserJock, i wait for your prompt, i dont know when you're finished | 06:19 |
| LaserJock | habeeb: well, I did one on Monday, although it wasn't much of a tutorial | 06:19 |
| LaserJock | you can find that on the OpenWeek website | 06:19 |
| LaserJock | there's also a MOTU School session I did at : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/PackagingBasics | 06:19 |
| LaserJock | that one is pretty good (about 4hrs worth of IRC lesson) | 06:20 |
| LaserJock | elkbuntu: next | 06:20 |
| elkbuntu | <Loic> QUESTION: how can we use a pbuilder environment to build *and* test packages for gusty while using feisty (i.e. without having to install gusty)? How do we switch between feisty to gusty and vice-versa using pbuild? | 06:20 |
| === varka [n=varkatop@p54a5f9a6.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | well, for pbuilder you just need to copy that script I gave you to pbuilder-gutsy | 06:21 |
| === spike [n=spike@unaffiliated/spike] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| LaserJock | then you can run either pbuilder-feisty or pbuilder-gutsy | 06:21 |
| === mon [n=mon@co149259-b.almel1.ov.home.nl] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | as far as testing goes, I recommend a chroot | 06:21 |

| === jeefers [n=jeefers@207-255-26-050-dhcp.det.pa.atlanticbb.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| LaserJock | brainsik: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot has more info | 06:23 |
| elkbuntu | thats all i see | 06:24 |
| LaserJock | tuxmaniac: you need sudo rights to run pbuilder, that could be it | 06:24 |
| === d1223m [n=dunk@unaffiliated/d1223m] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| LaserJock | ok, let's move on | 06:24 |
| LaserJock | we've got very little time | 06:24 |
| === Robste1 [n=rob@host86-138-190-248.range86-138.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | Debian binary packages (.deb) are built from source packages (makes sense). A source package is actually made up of 3 different files: | 06:25 |
| LaserJock | 1. .dsc (description) file that holds md5sums of the other files | 06:25 |
| LaserJock | 2. .orig.tar.gz which is the source tarball as you would download it from the program's homepage | 06:25 |
| LaserJock | 3. .diff.gz that holds any changes we make to the .orig.tar.gz (including the packaging info) | 06:25 |
| LaserJock | Now packaging can be broken down into two different tasks, making the initial package, and maintaining the package(s). | 06:25 |
| LaserJock | we're going to try to touch on both briefly | 06:26 |
| === samgee [n=samgee@239.183-241-81.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | first off, how do we make a source package from scratch | 06:26 |
| LaserJock | well, there is a fairly nice tool called dh_make for that | 06:26 |
| LaserJock | it gives you a bunch of template files to use | 06:27 |
| LaserJock | so let's make a source package, shall we? :-) | 06:27 |
| LaserJock | we're going to package the GNU hello program today | 06:27 |
| LaserJock | first off, let's make some working space: | 06:28 |
| LaserJock | mkdir ~/hello | 06:28 |
| LaserJock | cd ~/hello/ | 06:28 |
| === ego [n=ego@nrbg-4db468d6.pool.einsundeins.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | then we need to grab the source | 06:28 |
| === el_ericho [n=erich@189.129.57.182] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | and unpack it: | 06:29 |
| LaserJock | wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.2.tar.gz | 06:29 |
| LaserJock | tar -xzf hello-2.2.tar.gz | 06:29 |
| LaserJock | now this is a typical Linux application source | 06:29 |
| LaserJock | but let's ubuntuize it ;-) | 06:30 |
| LaserJock | cd hello-2.2 | 06:30 |
| LaserJock | dh_make -c gpl -e mantha@ubuntu.com -f ../hello-2.2.tar.gz | 06:30 |
| === joern [n=joern@xdsldc223.osnanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === Robster_ [n=rob@host86-138-190-248.range86-138.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | let me explain that dh_make line a little | 06:30 |
| LaserJock | the -c gpl tells dh_make that hello is licensed under the GPL | 06:30 |
| LaserJock | you really need to make sure that that's right | 06:30 |
| LaserJock | check the COPYING file in the source and the source files themselves | 06:31 |
| === ManDuck [n=E-m@221.132.115.3] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | the -e flag tells dh_make the email address I want to use | 06:31 |
| LaserJock | and -f tells it what tarball to use for the source | 06:31 |
| LaserJock | dh_make has a set of predefined licenses | 06:32 |
| LaserJock | you can check them out by looking at man dh_make | 06:32 |
| LaserJock | if the app isn't licensed under one of those then leave -c blank and you'll fill it in later | 06:32 |
| LaserJock | ok, this is a single binary | 06:32 |
| LaserJock | you can have more than one .deb come from a source package | 06:33 |
| LaserJock | but in this case it is a simple app and we don't need to split it up | 06:33 |
| LaserJock | now, if everyone has got dh_make done lets have a look at what it did | 06:33 |
| === Treenaks [n=martijn@thuis.foodfight.org] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | cd debian/ | 06:33 |
| LaserJock | ls | 06:33 |
| === granite230 [n=granite@84-105-154-31.cable.quicknet.nl] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | you will see many files. some with a .ex . These are various example files that you can use if needed. We don't need any of them so we're going to get rid of them. | 06:34 |
| === babangipan [n=user@202.155.146.12] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| LaserJock | cd debian/ | 06:34 |
| LaserJock | rm *.ex *.EX | 06:34 |
| LaserJock | in this case we also don't need dirs, docs, info, and README.Debian | 06:34 |
| LaserJock | rm dirs docs info README.Debian | 06:34 |
| LaserJock | so right now you should have 5 files | 06:35 |
| LaserJock | changelog compat control copyright rules | 06:35 |
| === jenda [n=jenda@freenode/staff/ubuntu.member.jenda] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === ManDuck [n=E-m@221.132.115.3] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| LaserJock | changelog should be fairly easy to get | 06:35 |
| LaserJock | for me I changed the top line to: | 06:36 |
| LaserJock | hello (2.2-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low | 06:36 |
| === zever [n=zever@kotnet-145.kulnet.kuleuven.be] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| === allee [n=ach@lapex-mcallee.mpe.mpg.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | that reflects an Ubuntu versioning and that I"m making the package for feisty | 06:37 |
| LaserJock | any questions? | 06:37 |
| elkbuntu | <zorglu_> QUESTION: all the dh_* tools are usable, even if my apps doesnt uses autoconfig and co ? | 06:37 |
| === ragreen [n=Miranda@208.60.127.21] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | I don't know that all of them are usable, but yes, they should still apply | 06:38 |
| === skeetbadger [n=jey@unaffiliated/skeetbadger] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | elkbuntu: next | 06:38 |
| elkbuntu | <tuxmaniac> LaserJock, QUESTION: Any pointers to the Ubuntu versioning standard would help | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | ok, here's the general versioning scheme | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | <upstream version>-<debian revision>ubuntu<ubuntu revision> | 06:39 |
| === skold [n=01001100@p57B29A04.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | so in this case 2.2-0ubuntu1 means: | 06:39 |
| LaserJock | 2.2 is the upstream version | 06:39 |
| LaserJock | 0 is the debian revision, indicating that this package is not in Debian (which isn't true, btw ;-) | 06:39 |
| LaserJock | and 1 is the ubuntu revision | 06:39 |
| elkbuntu | next? | 06:40 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 06:40 |
| elkbuntu | <harrisony> can i make the urgency ZOMG? (/me translates as 'are there specifically set urgency levels?') | 06:40 |
| === PhilK [n=PhilK@mail.pressure-pro.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | the urgency levels are specified in the Debian Policy, but aren't used in Ubuntu | 06:41 |
| LaserJock | so just leave them at what they are | 06:41 |
| elkbuntu | next? | 06:41 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 06:41 |
| elkbuntu | <Monika|K> QUESTION: The version was 2.2-1, so why change it to 2.2-0 (2.2-0ubuntu1) and not 2.2-1ubuntu1? | 06:41 |
| === mattmole [n=matt@82-46-137-10.cable.ubr01.king.blueyonder.co.uk] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| LaserJock | well, because I'm illustrating what you do if it's never been packaged before | 06:42 |
| LaserJock | so it wouldn't be in Debian | 06:42 |
| LaserJock | I couldn't find an easy one that wasn't already in Debian ;-) | 06:42 |
| LaserJock | ok, let's move on to the other files | 06:42 |
| elkbuntu | no more q's that i can see | 06:42 |
| === Belutz [n=Belutz@ubuntu/member/belutz] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | control is an important file | 06:43 |

| === neversfelde [n=neversfe@nrbg-4db44557.pool.einsundeins.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| LaserJock | the -S says to create a source package rather than binary | 06:54 |

| LaserJock | run debuild -S -uc -us to turn off signing | 06:54 |
| LaserJock | if everything works right you should get some new files in ../../ | 06:55 |

| elkbuntu | <Loic> QUESTION: Just to be sure I understood well : after I've used the script pbuilder-feisty, if I want to build a package for gutsy I just run pbuilder-gutsy without having to delete files installed by pbuilder-feisty, then just by putting feisty OR gutsy in the first line of debian/changelog everything will be taken care of? | 06:57 |

| ogra | Moniker42, actually only the integration of apps and the dedicated community we have ... we try to drop the strict barriers between edubuntu and "ubuntu in education" a bit over time ... | 07:19 |
| ogra | the plan is for example to move much of the ltp integration that happened in edubuntu over to ubuntu | 07:20 |
| ogra | edubuntu will include moodle in the next release in a default setup that offers you to start right away ... while moodle in ubuntu will inherit an updated package, the integration work will happen in edubuntu | 07:20 |
| ogra | next question ... | 07:21 |
| PriceChild | <sampbar> QUESTION: what are your current plans for getting more UK schools and college's to adopt edubuntu as their operating system of choice | 07:21 |

| === flacoste [n=francis@canonical/launchpad/flacoste] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| sabdfl | next question? | 08:05 |
| PriceChild | <fql> QUESTION: Several ubuntu pages and also bug #1 in launchpad note that ubuntu is entirely free (as in free speech), however in the default install this is not true (drivers etc.), are there plans on making this more transparant to the user? | 08:05 |
| sabdfl | fql: we should always qualify that as "only free applications" | 08:05 |
| sabdfl | at least, i fix it that way in the wiki when i run into it | 08:06 |
| === CoLdFiRe [n=digo@189.13.24.223] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | we have had the driver exception in place since the beginning, so it's not as though this has changed | 08:06 |

| sabdfl | next question? | 08:06 |
| PriceChild | <sampbar> QUESTION: sabdfl - Mark, what new features would you like to see implemented in ubuntu in the next couple of years? and are there any features you would like to see improved? | 08:06 |

| === David_Godfrey [n=chatzill@83-216-132-69.jonath174.adsl.metronet.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | there are two separate lines of attack, i think | 08:07 |
| sabdfl | one is "the race to parity" | 08:07 |
| sabdfl | we need to get our category-specific apps to be as good as the current best of breed proprietary app in that category | 08:08 |
| === DaphBobo_ [n=nats@196.219.178.6] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| sabdfl | we need a word processor that is as good as word | 08:08 |
| sabdfl | a spreadsheet as good as excel | 08:08 |
| sabdfl | we already have a better browser :-) | 08:08 |
| sabdfl | then there is the second race, which is "the thought leader", which is all about innovation | 08:08 |
| sabdfl | we saw with firefox, when it hit parity, that the extension mechanism was a HUGE driver of creativity and innovation | 08:09 |
| === magnetron [n=magnetro@unaffiliated/magnetron] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | this is why i fund bazaar - because i think innovation comes from the periphery of the community as much as from the center | 08:09 |
| sabdfl | and we need revision control which is cross-platform, robust, and distributed | 08:09 |
| sabdfl | i would like to see us reach parity in more desktop apps | 08:09 |
| sabdfl | and of course, i'd like people to start to see free software as the place where the genuinely groundbreaking innovation happens | 08:10 |
| sabdfl | this is also why i think it's so important to get compiz/beryl into ubuntu | 08:10 |
| sabdfl | because they are fertile grounds for creativity | 08:10 |
| sabdfl | the proprietary guys are not far ahead | 08:10 |
| sabdfl | if we give developers the tools and an audience, they will do amazing things | 08:10 |

| sabdfl | next question? | 08:10 |
| PriceChild | <dee> QUESTION: Today I read (German: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/88800) that Jane Silber has said that Firefox 2 might come for Dapper Drake? Is this true? And do you want to upgrade all firefox-dependent packages or should it be just additionally to Firefox 1.5? Doesn't this stand in a strong contrast to the LTS? | 08:10 |
| === sabdfl scrambles to find a translation of that article | ||
| === webfrogs [n=marksutt@84-73-66-165.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | i can't find jane either, so not sure of the context. my gut feel is its unlikely we would make radical changes to LTS releases without a long -proposed test period | 08:12 |
| === kunstar [n=kunal@87.113.66.246.plusnet.pte-ag2.dyn.plus.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | my other gut feel is that jane doesn't speak unless she's certain of the facts, and probably knows more about that than me | 08:12 |
| sabdfl | :-) | 08:12 |
| === _dennis_ [n=dennis@d54C2B03F.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | so i can't really add anything useful now, and will just ask for the next question! | 08:12 |
| PriceChild | <McKinney> QUESTION: i read an interview with andreas barth criticizing ubuntu. what do you think, in which way can ubuntu and debian profit from each other in future? http://www.golem.de/showhigh2.php?file=/0704/51531.html&wort[] =andreas&wort[] =barth | 08:12 |

| sabdfl | again, hard for me to respond, i can't read the german | 08:13 |
| === MRjinx [n=Mr@216-43-24-3.ip.mcleodusa.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | however, i think debian and ubuntu already benefit hugely from one another | 08:13 |
| sabdfl | we have brought debian millions of new users, in a category that it was never previously taken seriously in, the desktop | 08:13 |
| === Sanne [n=Sanne@p548d8967.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | in addition, many new DD's come through Ubuntu, or first discover debian through Ubuntu | 08:14 |
| sabdfl | we are expanding the debian universe, which is very good for debian | 08:14 |
| sabdfl | we lead a lot of very useful work, which eventually gets included in debian | 08:14 |
| sabdfl | they are considering upstart, for example | 08:14 |
| sabdfl | and also considering our live cd infrastructure | 08:14 |
| sabdfl | perhaps even the ubuntu installer | 08:14 |
| sabdfl | they largely depend on work we do on the toolchain, on python, on java etc | 08:15 |
| sabdfl | the flip side is also true | 08:15 |
| === DeNuS [n=denis@190-248-124-91.pool.ukrtel.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| sabdfl | we benefit hugely from debian's depth and breadth | 08:15 |
| sabdfl | we consider ourselves to be part of the debian family | 08:15 |
| === webfrogs [n=marksutt@84-73-66-165.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | it's sad for me, that when ubuntu releases there are 2 messages about it on debian planet - one of celebration from a person who contributes to both, and one a bug report | 08:16 |
| sabdfl | but i'm happy that, when debian releases, there are tons of congratulations to debian on planet ubuntu | 08:16 |
| sabdfl | i would like to see better collaboration | 08:16 |
| sabdfl | many dd's routinely read patches that we automatically mail to them when a package is modified in ubuntu | 08:16 |
| sabdfl | others just ignore them | 08:16 |
| sabdfl | it would be nice to have debian recognise the contribution ubuntu makes | 08:17 |
| sabdfl | we get twice the volume of bug reports now, not because we are more buggy, but because we reach a wider audience | 08:17 |
| === Leto2 [n=anthea@nan77-2-82-242-116-179.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | debian would benefit if they took an interest in ensuring that their packages are getting that wider exposure | 08:17 |

| sabdfl | zorglu_: i know the linspire folks are working on that, and i hope it will be ready soon! but i don't have an eta | 08:18 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:18 |
| PriceChild | <popey_> QUESTION: how do you feel about the way you are portrayed by the online comic strip Everybody Loves Eric Raymond? | 08:18 |

| PriceChild | <[doctor] > QUESTION: Mark, what about "Ubuntu Control Center" as Yast or Mandriva Control Center ... A lot of newbies ask for it | 08:20 |
| === maccam94 [n=cam@pool-72-72-84-37.bstnma.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | doctor: first we'd need to have good packages, so if those users want to start work on that we can get them into universe with MOTU help, and then consider them for main | 08:21 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:21 |
| PriceChild | <Moniker42> question: mark, what do you think of Charles Simonyi's claim to be "the first nerd in space" | 08:22 |
| sabdfl | hey, i know a bunch of russians and americans who are just as nerdy as me and him, and went up before either of us | 08:23 |
| sabdfl | nonetheless, i think it's great that he flew, and hope he had a smooth flight | 08:23 |
| sabdfl | it's a privilege to get up there, and i'm envious of anybody who goes without me! | 08:24 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:24 |
| PriceChild | <popey_> QUESTION: What are you doing to counter the claims that launchpad is evil because it is closed source? | 08:24 |
| === j_ack [n=rudi@p508DBCE7.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | funny, i had an email about that the other day, from a gmail address :-) | 08:24 |
| === Fakkz [n=Rodrigo@bl6-203-209.dsl.telepac.pt] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | first, i would like to have LP published under the GPL | 08:24 |
| sabdfl | i have a plan to get there, in a way that will (a) not fragment the eyeballs, and (b) allow us to continue to pay the developers | 08:25 |
| sabdfl | i don't see the point in releasing it until we can get those two things right | 08:25 |
| sabdfl | the main issue right now is that LP is a centralised design, when really we need a federated standard that works for bugzilla, roundup, sourceforge, collab, launchpad etc | 08:25 |
| sabdfl | if we released it, and 10 people set up their own instances, then the work required to keep track of everything LP keeps track of would go up by 10x | 08:26 |
| sabdfl | alternatively, the quality of info in LP would go down by 10x! | 08:26 |
| === kultar [n=kultar@wg-205-hill012.rutgers.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | so, for example, right now if a bug is filed in zope | 08:27 |
| sabdfl | and the zope guys think it's also in the ubuntu zope packages | 08:27 |
| sabdfl | they can get us to look at it just by updating LP | 08:27 |
| === webfrogs [n=marksutt@84-73-66-165.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | and if they think its in gentoo too, they can link to their bug tracker | 08:27 |
| sabdfl | and they only do that once per community | 08:27 |
| sabdfl | if there were multiple LP's, they would lose that | 08:27 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:28 |
| PriceChild | <spr0k3t> QUESTION: I've seen some of the estimated numbers for *buntu, but I'm curious... how many unique IP addresses did the canonical servers see on th 19th of April? | 08:28 |

| sabdfl | wow, not sure i have that number | 08:28 |
| sabdfl | but there were 53 mirrors before we announced, and 130 by the end of the day, that we know of | 08:29 |
| sabdfl | so hits on canonical.com are a small fraction of total | 08:29 |
| sabdfl | i think we were serving 12 gigabits / second from ourselves and top 5 mirrors :-) | 08:29 |
| sabdfl | probably 20 gbits/s in total | 08:29 |
| sabdfl | 3 cd's per second | 08:29 |
| sabdfl | for 12 hours | 08:30 |
| sabdfl | pretty amazing | 08:30 |
| sabdfl | if you were in #ubuntu-release-party, you know it was quite a rush :-) | 08:30 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:30 |
| PriceChild | <gumpa> QUESTION Does Canonical have a relationship with the OLPC folks? | 08:30 |
| === reccan [n=reccan@81-235-209-80-no62.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | gumpa: not officially, no | 08:30 |
| sabdfl | i would like to, i think their work is amazing, and ubuntu is a good fit | 08:31 |
| sabdfl | but we've never been asked to participate | 08:31 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:31 |
| PriceChild | <deniz_ogut> sabdfl QUESTION: How do you evaluate the chances/challenges for Ubuntu based business models. Can Canonical try to push governing bodies in proper ways to spread Ubuntu in addition to local voluntary efforts? | 08:31 |
| sabdfl | deniz_ogut: good question, i guess we will have to find out! | 08:31 |
| sabdfl | we are already seeing that many governments like ubuntu, and base their own efforts on it | 08:32 |
| sabdfl | we have official relationships with some of them, and it works very well | 08:32 |
| sabdfl | but it's not universal | 08:32 |
| sabdfl | free software is still very new in government terms - they take a LOOOONG time to think things through | 08:32 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:32 |
| PriceChild | <pixelpapst> QUESTION: I am leading the development of a highly customized CDD, and am considering switching to Ubuntu partially as the base. Would I be expected to track all of our work in Launchpad ? I am concerned with keeping security-bugs secret (and cannot pay Canonical lots of money for this, sadly). | 08:33 |
| === linuxgeekery- [n=nfruchte@ppp-70-251-188-86.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | pixelpapst: you would never have to use LP, use whatever works best for you | 08:34 |
| sabdfl | we will have a security bug framework that lets you keep those confidential without being a subscriber (but only for the designated security team) | 08:34 |
| sabdfl | and if your project is community driven and non-commercial, we will in many cases give you free access to LP advanced features | 08:35 |
| sabdfl | next question? | 08:35 |

| sabdfl | i know they WANT to fix that | 08:38 |
| sabdfl | the head of that group at Sun has the right ideas, but it's hard to move a big ship | 08:38 |
| sabdfl | oo.o has been a huge boost for free software | 08:38 |
| sabdfl | because it is cross platform | 08:38 |
| sabdfl | i had lunch with an interesting lawyer today, and he was telling me that he installed oo.o and was "really impressed that it worked so well" | 08:39 |
| sabdfl | he was amazed that it just opened word docs nicely, and he could find his way around easily | 08:39 |

| PriceChild | <Daviey> QUESTION: Why is 'ubuntu' a trademark of Canonical and not the Ubuntu foundation? | 08:47 |
| === cmcculloh [n=chatzill@perfstrat-colo.iquest.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| sabdfl | Canonical is the funder of the brand | 08:48 |
| sabdfl | The Ubuntu Foundation is a trust that exists in the event that Canonical can no longer support Ubuntu | 08:48 |
| sabdfl | so, when we made a long term support commitment, i figured out how much money we needed in the bank to meet that commitment | 08:49 |
| sabdfl | and setup the Ubuntu foundation | 08:49 |
| sabdfl | and gave them that amount of money | 08:49 |
| sabdfl | no matter what happens to Canonical, the money is there to meet the support commitment | 08:49 |
| sabdfl | you can safely deploy Dapper and you will not suddenly find yourself unsupported | 08:49 |
| sabdfl | but we don't touch that money, it's an insurance balance | 08:49 |
| sabdfl | so, in that light, it makes more sense to have Canonical manage the brands | 08:50 |
| sabdfl | it invests in the marketing, and also makes decisions about the ways in which people can use the brand | 08:50 |
| sabdfl | so far, it's working well | 08:50 |

| sabdfl | next question? | 08:50 |
| PriceChild | <pwnedd> Question: For a large number of people, the number one reason for getting a pc is for gaming. Right now however there are few mainstream games written for or even compatable with linux. Do you think there is anything the ubuntu team can do to change that, and open up linux to a larger population? | 08:50 |
| sabdfl | i agree this is a big, important question | 08:51 |
| sabdfl | gaming developers are like other ISV's | 08:51 |
| sabdfl | they write software to sell software, so they want to see (a) how many people use a platform, and (b) what percentage of them WOULD PAY to use their software on that platform | 08:51 |
| sabdfl | that gives them a market size | 08:52 |

| sabdfl | they then compare that to the cost of the port | 08:52 |
| sabdfl | and the lost time in making the port (while their competition works on new products) | 08:52 |
| sabdfl | and then take a decision | 08:52 |
| sabdfl | they key is not who owns cedega, the key is the business model that supports it | 08:52 |

| popey | My name is Alan Pope, I'm an Ubuntu user just like most of you. I don't work for Canonical, I'm not a developer, I can't really code, have no artistic skills whatsoever. It's not looking good is it!? | 09:05 |
| popey | </intro> | 09:05 |
| popey | I just happen to have used Ubuntu quite a bit as a user and home-system administrator when I discovered the support tracker last year, and I decided to contribute to the community by helping out with that. | 09:05 |
| === popey pokes flacoste | ||
| flacoste | And my name is Francis Lacoste. I work for Canonical as lead developer of the Launchpad Answer Tracker. | 09:05 |
| popey | * Introductions to Answers | 09:06 |
| popey | "Answers" is the Launchpad support tracker: http://answers.launchpad.net/ . | 09:06 |
| popey | It's a web based system allowing users to post questions which are hopefully answered by experienced users. The people answering the questions are Ubuntu users (and sometimes developers) who give their own time to answer the questions. It should be noted that there is no Service Level Agreement (SLA) and no obligation for people to reply. | 09:06 |

| === j1mc [n=jcampbel@157.199.22.99] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | Whilst the code and hosting of Answers in Launchpad is provided by Canonical, the data (questions and answers) is provided by users, developers and as such I believe that it is vital the community get involved. | 09:07 |
| === ke|p [n=kelp@21.Red-83-38-103.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| === roico [n=roico@bzq-88-154-11-25.red.bezeqint.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | There's two ways to access the support tracker, via the web and via email. You can use either or both methods to access. | 09:07 |
| === turox [n=chatzill@dslb-084-057-234-192.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | Some people think of Answers as a simple forum in that people post a new thread (ticket/question) and other people answer it (reply) via a web page. Most forums fulfil this basic functionality. Many of the usual things you find in forums are not there however (signatures, avatars and so on). | 09:07 |
| popey | Some people consider Answers to be like a simple mailing list. People post a new question on the website which is sent out via email to subscribers who can reply to that mail. Further replies are also sent out to users and as such a conversation "thread" can happen as it does on mailing lists. | 09:08 |

| === tonin [n=antoine@213.154.93.51] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | It's worth pointing out that it should not be thought of as a real-time chat system like IRC. Users can post questions and the answer may not come for hours or days, or never at all in the worst case. There have been occasions where people post questions and then within a few minutes start replying themselves asking why they haven't got an answer yet. | 09:09 |

| popey | I put this down to familiarity with the system, and usually send a polite reply explaining in one or two lines how the system works, or point to a wiki page explaining it. | 09:09 |
| === artdeco [n=user@202.128.46.94] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | You can subscribe to the support tracker via email so you get sent all questions and answers as plain text emails to your launchpad primary email account. You can reply to the questions directly via email by simply hitting reply in your browser. If you use email, your own email address is masked to prevent spam, and stop people mailing support contacts directly. | 09:10 |
| popey | Your reply goes back to the support tracker mail account and then back out to the original question poster, and anyone else subscribed to that ticket. | 09:10 |
| popey | Each mail has a link which takes you directly to the ticket. You can click the links in the mail and answer the question on the website rather than reply to the mail. | 09:11 |
| === ebichete [n=ebichete@mh050a.halls.manchester.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | Be warned that if you subscribe to all the support tickets, you will get an awful LOT of mail (around 100 or more a day). It's often hundreds of mails a day, so if you want to help out I suggest either configuring some good filtering, or simply use the second option which is to use the answers website only, and not receive. | 09:11 |
| === eRazor [n=madhu@59.92.158.221] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | Note that even if you don't subscribe to the tracker to get all mails from all tickets, you will still get mails from tickets that you answer via the website. You can of course unsubscribe, or choose not to receive mail deliveries from tickets you have answered. | 09:12 |
| popey | You don't have to subscribe to all the mail of course, in fact not many people do. You can just subscribe to the tickets you are helping on, or ones that you might have an interest in - for example if you are also experiencing the same problem and want to follow how the problem is fixed. | 09:12 |

| popey | Ok, lets take a break and answer a couple of questions.. | 09:12 |
| popey | QUESTION: Why not use the _forums_? | 09:13 |
| popey | (from habeeb sorry) | 09:13 |
| popey | Answers is tightly integrated into launchpad, so you can for example easily link to bugs, or create bug reports out of tickets | 09:14 |
| popey | (which you can't do on the forums) | 09:14 |
| === linuxgeekery- [n=nfruchte@ppp-70-251-188-86.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | I suspect flacoste will talk about some other new features in a bit in answers too | 09:14 |
| flacoste | Answers has additional advantages over forums too | 09:15 |
| popey | in addition I can get the support tickets as mails and reply to those mails to help people | 09:15 |
| flacoste | a) It tracks the status of the question, soyou know what still needs answer | 09:15 |
| popey | this is something forums cannot do | 09:15 |
| flacoste | b) when asking a new question, users get a list of similar questions first | 09:16 |
| flacoste | c) launchpad karma :-) | 09:16 |
| popey | you can assign your ticket to a product/project so that developers of that product/project can focus on answering those tickets | 09:16 |
| flacoste | and from the Launchpad perspective, the Answer Tracker can be used for any Launchpad-hosted project | 09:16 |
| popey | the forums are massive | 09:17 |
| === jmchugh_ [n=jmchugh@dargo.trilug.org] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | the developers would have a hard time trawling through the forums looking for support questions IMO | 09:17 |
| popey | it's easy in answers, there is one url to go to for all outstanding questions for one product | 09:17 |

| popey | < kunstar> Question: So how is LP answers different to the ubuntu forums? Why should I use LP and not the forum or vice versa? | 09:18 |
| popey | one of the problems with all support systems - forums and answers alike, is that you have no way of knowing whether the person answering the question actually has a clue what they are talking about | 09:18 |
| popey | ok, forums have the coffee beans so you can see how many posts they have made, which gives you some level of confidence | 09:19 |
| === atreju [n=atreju@ip565e8a96.direct-adsl.nl] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | launchpad has karma as flacoste says, and you can easily look someone up and see what teams they are in, what they have done, so you can assess their credentials | 09:19 |
| popey | and decide whether you want to take their advice or not. | 09:19 |
| popey | < habeeb> QUESTION: Couldn't ubuntuforums get hacked to be able to do that? I mean, creating a whole section in the Launchpad sounds unnecessary to me.. | 09:20 |
| popey | you would need to speak to the forums guys about that | 09:20 |
| === atreju [n=atreju@ip565e8a96.direct-adsl.nl] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | given that answers is clearly a strategic part of launchpad, which is a strategic part of the development and support process of Ubuntu, I don't see why it would necessarily go away or be replaced by the forums | 09:21 |
| popey | especially as that would put flacoste out of a job :) | 09:21 |
| popey | < niekie> QUESTION: Does answering questions on Launchpad answers affect Launchpad karma? | 09:21 |
| === atreju [n=atreju@ip565e8a96.direct-adsl.nl] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | yes. if you lookup someones karma for example:- https://launchpad.net/~alanpope/+karma you can see how they got it... | 09:21 |
| popey | note nearly all of my karma comes from answering support tickets | 09:22 |
| popey | ok, back to the notes.. | 09:22 |
| popey | As answers is part of launchpad this means there are launchpad features we can make use of. | 09:22 |
| popey | From within the answer tracker you can link a support ticket to an existing bug (or bugs), or convert a support ticket into a bug report. If you just type "BUG 1" it will automatically become a link to that bug in launchpad for example | 09:23 |
| popey | Answers are language dependent. A user can report a problem in their own language and get replies in the same language. | 09:23 |

| popey | https://answers.launchpad.net/ - base URL for answers, which allows you to see all questions for all products registered in launchpad. | 09:24 |
| popey | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu - URL for Ubuntu specific support tickets. Within this are the packages that make up the Ubuntu distribution. NOTE: This includes Kubuntu and Xubuntu packages too. There is no specific answers URL for Kubuntu/Xubuntu (that I am aware of) | 09:24 |

| === atreju [n=atreju@ip565e8a96.direct-adsl.nl] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad - URL for Launchpad specific support tickets. If you discover a problem in the answer tracker in launchpad itself, you can file support ticket here. | 09:24 |
| popey | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion - Direct link to ask a new question. I paste this on irc when people ask support questions in inappropriate channels. | 09:25 |
| === dnmartins [n=dnmartin@200-207-53-227.dsl.telesp.net.br] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | And the next one is the most important url.. | 09:25 |
| popey | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+questions?field.status=Open - Direct link to currently open questions - PLEASE take a look at some and see if you can answer it! | 09:25 |

| popey | s/it/them | 09:25 |
| popey | Unfortunately not all questions get answered | 09:26 |
| === scresawn [n=steve@hatfull12.bio.pitt.edu] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | This is of course a problem for all support systems - hopefully as the answer tracker becomes more well known, we can reduce the number of open, and unsolved tickets. We can also help some beginners with a little googling and pointing them in the right direction. | 09:26 |
| === mallux [n=chris@cpc5-bsfd1-0-0-cust179.cmbg.cable.ntl.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | If you don't know the answer I would recommend _not_ replying with "I don't know". We don't really want answers flooded with "I don't know"s on loads of tickets, and if you do answer, they lose their "open" status, so it's difficult to get an overview of completely unanswered tickets. | 09:26 |

| === masjito [n=blue@125.160.44.84] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | Some questions may converted to bugs. Most are just answered with a link to the wiki, forums, documentation or a 3rd party site like linuxprinting.org or debian-administration.org :) | 09:27 |
| === blenderhead001 [n=blenderh@adsl-068-209-133-121.sip.jax.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | If replying via mail, make sure your mail client sends plain text, wraps text nicely, and you trim out the original text. | 09:27 |
| popey | * Tips on how to find answers to questions you don't know the answer to already | 09:27 |
| popey | Start with the wiki! Do a search in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ for the computer name, product, model number or whatever detail you have been given. There is a surprising amount of information in the wiki which is in the format of easy to understand How-Tos. Don't copy and paste the contents, direct users to the specific page or pages that may help. | 09:28 |
| popey | Google is your friend! You would be amazed how many tickets are solved by simply searching google for the error message. I am not suggesting you find the first hit and paste it in, take a moment to read a few of the hits on google and see which best suits. | 09:28 |
| === amrlima [n=amrlima@81.20.249.22] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === BuffaloSoldier [n=firdaus@60.50.126.59] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | Please don't tell people to google. This doesn't help them. Many people don't understand how to search, and throwing them JFGI, RTFM or the URL to google is NOT going to win them over. | 09:29 |
| === Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === jgoss [n=josh@24.115.218.54.res-cmts.sth.ptd.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | Try things out yourself! For example some questions ask about how to compile or install some oddball 3rd party application which isn't in the repository. First thing of course is make sure it really *isn't* in the repository. If it is, that's a quick win! If it isnt then maybe you could try downloading the source and try yourself. | 09:29 |
| popey | This may confirm problems the questioner has, and maybe you could file a bug | 09:29 |
| popey | Alternatively it could be that they missed some step that you can tell them about. | 09:29 |
| === MRjinxtoo [n=Mr@216-43-24-3.ip.mcleodusa.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | Send people to the wiki wherever possible - if you detail a procedure, then someone else in 6 months time may come to find that via google, and it may no longer be a valid set of steps. The wiki is editable and in theory should be updated when procedures change, as such we should direct people there instead wherever possible. | 09:30 |
| === Helmi [n=helmi@pD95EFEFB.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||

| popey | * Finally, some specific common issues | 09:30 |
| popey | Some questions come up all the time. | 09:31 |
| popey | "I need a driver for my printer" | 09:31 |
| popey | - take a look at http://linuxprinting.org/ for a good compatibility list, try the vendors website - some do actually have Linux .ppd drivers | 09:31 |
| popey | "How do I get my video card working" | 09:31 |
| === edavis10_ [n=eric@68-116-82-188.dhcp.trlk.ca.charter.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | - use the wiki! There are now very few video cards that are tricky to get going under Linux, and the ones that are, are most often documented pretty well | 09:31 |
| popey | "My wifi card doesn't work" | 09:31 |
| popey | - Again, the _vast_ majority of cards are either directly supported in Linux, require ndiswrapper or madwifi to make them work. The wiki is the best place to start here. | 09:32 |
| popey | "You all suck and I want to rant about it!" | 09:32 |
| === Admiratius_ [n=maximili@p57A35582.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === BuffaloSoldier [n=firdaus@ubuntu/member/BuffaloSoldier] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | - Try to calm the person down and figure out what the real problem they have is. Often it's the cumulation of a number of little niggles that sends them over the edge. Remember the Code of Conduct :) | 09:32 |
| === jhutchins_kc [n=jonathan@64-151-34-11.dyn.everestkc.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | "My screen resolution is wrong" | 09:32 |
| popey | - I see this probably at least 2 or 3 times a week. Usually it's just a case of dropping to a terminal and reconfiguring x, but some hand-holding is often useful as the terminal is a scary place for beginners. | 09:32 |
| popey | 09:33 | |
| popey | Ok, that's all my prepared material, how about I answer a few questions, then maybe flacoste can talk about new features coming up | 09:33 |
| === cpk2 [n=cpk1@sjs-130-65-211-115.sjsu.edu] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| popey | < spd106> QUESTION: Does the proprietary nature of launchpad and I'm assuming answers too, prevent better integration with ubuntuforums? | 09:33 |
| === mrjinx [n=Mr@216-43-24-3.ip.mcleodusa.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| === dtolj_ [n=b6001b10@142.204.140.28] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | Personally I (and the ubuntu forums admins) don't think ubuntu forums and launchpad will ever integrate fully. | 09:34 |
| popey | the technologies and aims are so very different | 09:34 |
| popey | the forums have a very low barrier to entry, are popular with new users and have a massive base of users and some really committed experts | 09:34 |
| popey | BUT | 09:34 |
| popey | it isn't integrated into launchpad, and other features flacoste will talk about (and already has) are missing and aren't likely to ever appear in the forums | 09:35 |
| flacoste | i may add a little here | 09:35 |
| popey | Go ahead caller.. | 09:35 |
| === fx5 [n=fx5555@brauchen.info] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||

| flacoste | btw, is the ubuntuforums free-sotfware? | 09:38 |
| popey | heh | 09:38 |
| flacoste | popey: we can move to the next question | 09:38 |
| popey | < salty-horse> QUESTION: how do I subscribe to receive all question related to a specific package? | 09:38 |
| popey | I am not sure you can for a specific package | 09:39 |
| flacoste | you can | 09:39 |
| popey | ahh yes | 09:39 |
| flacoste | just go to the source package Answers page and use 'Set answer contact' | 09:39 |
| popey | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beryl-core/+questions <- note on the left "Set Answer contact" | 09:39 |
| popey | if beryl-core is your thing | 09:39 |
| popey | < kunstar> QUESTION: So does this mean it would be better for the community if I were to ask questions in LP instead of the forums? | 09:39 |
| === ranf_ [n=ralfm@dslb-084-058-138-012.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | tricky one to answer | 09:40 |
| popey | the community is a big place and includes all those thousands of people in the forums | 09:40 |
| popey | if you answer questions on the forums, or on launchpad, google will find it | 09:40 |
| popey | in the future people can google and thus find your answers wherever they are | 09:40 |
| popey | however, the integration in launchpad makes that easier | 09:41 |
| === luis__lopez [n=llopez@68-182-33-19-Public-Marmac-MIPHA.client.eng.telusmobility.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||

| === CryptoVenom [n=CryptoVe@adsl-76-198-147-195.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| popey | with the forums you would have to search to find that | 09:41 |
| popey | the data in launchpad is very structured, the data in the forums isnt | 09:42 |
| popey | (as well structured) | 09:42 |
| popey | (imo) | 09:42 |
| === n2diy [n=darryl@66.212.43.101] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| flacoste | i think either place is good, what is important for the community is that questions get answered wherever they are | 09:42 |
| flacoste | but of course, I would suggest you use the Answer Tracker, but I have a conflict of interest there | 09:42 |
| flacoste | popey: next question? | 09:42 |
| popey | < kunstar> QUESTION: So does this mean it would be better for the community if I were to ask questions in LP instead of the forums? | 09:42 |
| popey | 20:28 < robertj> popey: QUESTION: Is there _ever_ a time I don't know should be used? | 09:42 |
| popey | oops | 09:42 |
| popey | yes | 09:42 |
| popey | I have used it myself | 09:42 |
| popey | when i have had an exchange of question and answers on one ticket | 09:43 |
| popey | and they finally exhaust my knowledge (this does happen :) ) | 09:43 |
| popey | i may finally say "I am sorry, I don't know" in the hope someone else will answer | 09:43 |
| popey | but for a brand new question, no, there is no reason to reply "I dont know" in my opinion, it doesn't really benefit anyone | 09:43 |
| popey | < Treenaks> QUESTION: Does gpg-signed mail work? | 09:43 |
| popey | dunno, I guess so given i have replied and all my mails are GPG signed by default | 09:44 |
| flacoste | GPG-signed email work | 09:44 |
| popey | there you go | 09:44 |
| flacoste | but signature isn't required | 09:44 |
| flacoste | you just have to post from a registered email address | 09:45 |
| popey | 20:33 < kunstar> QUESTION 2: LP answers sounds great and I'll definitely be using it from now on, but if you had to estimate, how much of the knowledge that is contained within the forums is currently encapsulated within LP answers? Am | 09:45 |
| popey | I better off sticking to the forums until LP Answers gets more beefed up with content? | 09:45 |
| popey | thats a paradox isnt it|? | 09:45 |
| popey | if everyone waited until there was knowledge there would be no knowledge | 09:46 |
| popey | Personally I prefer answers.. | 09:46 |
| popey | ..for me it works well, I can answer support questions from anywhere that i have access to email | 09:46 |
| popey | ok, any more questions? | 09:46 |

| popey | flacoste: do you want to outline some new funky features? | 09:47 |
| flacoste | Ok, so some future developments we are considering for the Answer Tracker: | 09:47 |
| flacoste | We will add more knowledge base features. | 09:47 |
| flacoste | It will be possible to manage 'FAQ-type' of answers. | 09:48 |
| flacoste | One tricky issue here is how to leverage the existing Ubuntu community material (forums, wiki, etc.) | 09:48 |
| === turox [n=chatzill@dslb-084-057-234-192.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| flacoste | We are also looking into improving the display of users credentials. | 09:49 |
| flacoste | To make it easier to know to access the confidence you can have in someone answer. | 09:49 |
| flacoste | You currently have to look-up the user' karma yourself now. | 09:49 |
| flacoste | Another great thing about the Answer Tracker is that it is multi-languages. | 09:50 |
| flacoste | You can already post and answer questions in your native language. | 09:51 |

| flacoste | or post to the launchpad-users mailing list | 09:53 |
| flacoste | Any more questions? | 09:53 |
| popey | I guess answers is turning more into a helpdesk system than a forum/mailing list with those new features | 09:53 |
| flacoste | that's exactly the plan | 09:53 |
| popey | so it should be easier to make the comparision between answers and ubuntuforums | 09:53 |

| poolie | A: there is ver good windows support, there is a windows configuration tool and gtk tools to look at history, diff, commit, etc | 10:08 |
| poolie | they do work on windows | 10:08 |
| poolie | and some people are working on a tortoisebzr program to integrate it into the shell | 10:08 |
| jam | The current guis are all built on gtk+pygtk, which has implementations on both Mac and Windows | 10:08 |
| jam | Except the Visual Studio integration | 10:09 |
| jam | which is done in C#, IIRC | 10:09 |
| poolie | i'd like to do a few more introductory questions, then take people through a short tutorial/demonstration | 10:09 |
| poolie | ok so | 10:10 |
| poolie | we're going to quickly go through a demo of how you might contribute a fix to someone else's source tree | 10:10 |
| poolie | if you're on ubuntu, do 'sudo apt-get install bzr' to make sure it's there | 10:11 |
| poolie | on other platforms look at bazaar-vcs.org | 10:11 |
| poolie | this tree is hosted on launchpad - hosting of Bazaar branches is one feature Launchpad offers as well as bug tracking, translations, etc | 10:12 |

| poolie | if you do bzr log, you'll see that your name is in there too | 10:19 |
| poolie | this works without you needing to be added to our project, or even to have a launchpad login | 10:19 |

| poolie | the +junk stands in place of a product name - normally they must be associated with a product so we can link them up | 10:21 |
| poolie | now i've also committed a change to my branch | 10:21 |
| poolie | so if you do 'bzr merge' it will integrate your changes with what i've done | 10:22 |
| poolie | this will probably cause a conflict if we both changed the same part of the same file | 10:22 |
| jam | Loic: QUESTION: When I do "bzr commit" it opens nano. What am I supposed to do there? | 10:22 |
| jam | Loic: It is giving you the opportunity to write a commit message | 10:22 |
| jam | Type some basic information about the change | 10:23 |
| jam | and then save and quit your editor | 10:23 |
| jam | when you do "bzr log" afterwards | 10:23 |

| poolie | now you'll want to edit that file, to resolve the conflict - remove the marker lines, and choose one or both new bits that you want to keep | 10:26 |
| poolie | then do 'bzr resolved hello' | 10:26 |
| poolie | and then you can commit again, this time you can give the message on the command line with | 10:26 |
| poolie | bzr commit -m "merge from martin" | 10:26 |
| poolie | it's also worth mentioning that in the upcoming 0.16 release, you can also link to bugs when you commit | 10:27 |
| poolie | for launchpad, bzr commit --fixes lp:202020 | 10:27 |
| poolie | ok as some people have noticed | 10:28 |
| poolie | after your commit, you can run bzr lgo | 10:28 |

| poolie | ok, so this has just got the fix into your branch | 10:30 |
| poolie | if you wanted to share it with me you have a few option | 10:30 |
| poolie | you could push to launchpad, and tell me about the branch | 10:30 |
| poolie | or to another web server | 10:30 |
| poolie | or, you can do 'bzr bundle' which gives you an enhanced diff suitable for mailing to a person or a list | 10:31 |
| poolie | and they can then do 'bzr merge BUNDLEFILE' | 10:31 |
| === SkippyUK [n=Skippy@cpc1-swin4-0-0-cust335.brhm.cable.ntl.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| poolie | ok, so to wrap up, i'll show you how to start a new project | 10:31 |
| poolie | we need to introduce the concept here of 'repositories' which is a directory that stores information about a set of related projects | 10:32 |
| poolie | to use less disk space, and so that when you push or pull from them, it does it only once | 10:32 |
| poolie | <frosty__> QUESTION: When would I use merge, and when would I use pull? | 10:32 |
| poolie | pull means 'make this branch a mirror of theirs', merge means 'integrate their work into mine' | 10:33 |
| === habeeb [n=habeeb@athedsl-187794.home.otenet.gr] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| poolie | so normally you use pull when you have a mirror of a remote brancnh | 10:33 |
| poolie | you might also use it in a long-running branch when all its changes have been integrated upstream | 10:34 |
| poolie | pull keeps your changes in the working copy | 10:34 |
| poolie | jam, anything to add on that? | 10:34 |
| jam | rulus: question: so if I get it right, a 'pull' creates a 'branch' that will automatically 'merge'? | 10:34 |
| jam | Not quite | 10:34 |
| jam | "pull" will update your working tree with the changes from upstream | 10:35 |
| jam | in a similar way that "merge" will | 10:35 |
| === rmunn [n=rmunn@adsl-70-131-104-63.dsl.emhril.sbcglobal.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | But from a user perspective they have a different "feeling". | 10:35 |
| jam | When you use "pull" you mean to say "I want this branch to be a copy of theirs". | 10:35 |
| === toroge [n=toroge@i59F5FB21.versanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | Which is different from "I want to include their changes in my work" (merge) | 10:35 |
| === leninyee [n=leninyee@189.174.227.182] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | 'pull' doesn't create the branch | 10:35 |
| jam | It just updates your branch to be a copy of their branch | 10:35 |
| jam | frosty__: QUESTION: So what if there are conflicts when you pull? | 10:36 |
| jam | frosty__: There are 2 types of "conflicts" that can occur during 'pull' | 10:36 |
| jam | 1) if you have uncommitted changes, and upstreams changes conflict with yours | 10:36 |
| jam | these are resolved like any other file-level conflicts | 10:36 |
| jam | by editing and then running 'bzr resolve' | 10:37 |
| jam | 2) If you have made local commits, and they have made commits | 10:37 |
| jam | In that case, you can't turn your branch into a copy of theirs | 10:37 |
| jam | because you have committed changes | 10:37 |
| jam | So you either need to | 10:37 |
| jam | switch and use "merge" | 10:37 |
| jam | *or* use "pull --overwrite" | 10:37 |
| jam | which says "Make mine like theirs, and throw out my changes" | 10:38 |
| poolie | ok | 10:38 |
| poolie | so to wrap up 'starting a new project' | 10:39 |
| === josef_ [n=josef@85-125-216-228.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| poolie | to make a new branch, do 'bzr init DIR' - can be either an existing unversioned source tree, or it will create a directory | 10:39 |
| === balrok [n=balrok@i59F70CC3.versanet.de] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| poolie | you can tell bazaar about files to ignore - typically build products like *.o or *.pyc | 10:40 |
| poolie | using 'bzr ignore', or by editing .bzrignore at the top level | 10:40 |
| === linuxgeekery- [n=nfruchte@ppp-70-251-188-86.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| poolie | then do 'bzr add' to tell bazaar you want to version all the files, or you can add them individually | 10:41 |
| poolie | then commit, and you're off and running | 10:41 |
| poolie | that concludes my tutorial content -- jam, anything to add? | 10:41 |
| jam | poolie: I think that is good, as long as people don't have more questions on the demo | 10:41 |
| poolie | let's do some questions then | 10:42 |
| jam | ih70: QUESTION: Why do we need yet another source control system. What objectives does bzr achieve that are not possible in say SVN? | 10:42 |
| jam | frosty__: QUESTION: Why should someone use bazaar, over another distributed system? Say, darcs, git, or mercurial? | 10:42 |
| jam | Well, each of the projects takes a little bit different approach to the world of VCS | 10:43 |
| jam | To start with | 10:43 |
| jam | SVN... the juggernaut of centralized version conttrol | 10:43 |
| jam | SVN has evolved into a very good system for versioning source code where everyone is given access to the same repository | 10:44 |
| jam | well, at least a 'good' system... | 10:44 |
| === josef_ [n=josef@85-125-216-228.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jam | What it doesn't handle very well, though, is repeated merging between branches | 10:44 |
| jam | Or being able to commit "offline" | 10:44 |
| jam | Like on your laptop while on a plane | 10:44 |
| jam | But the biggest difference is the idea of "decentralized". | 10:45 |
| jam | With bzr, anyone can create a local branch of an existing project | 10:45 |
| jam | and make their changes, committing as they go | 10:45 |
| jam | And then present their changes to 'upstream' in a fashion that is easy to merge back | 10:45 |
| jam | With SVN, anyone not priveledged with commit access has to fall back to diff and patch | 10:46 |
| jam | making them a second-class citizen | 10:46 |
| jam | With bzr, you have full access to version control | 10:46 |
| === FooFighter [n=El_Foo@p5089ef18.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | It actually follows the Open Source philosophy very well | 10:46 |
| === FooFighter [n=El_Foo@p5089ef18.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jam | Now, pretty much all of the DVCS systems support that too. Which is what the "Distributed" is in Distributed Version Control System | 10:48 |
| jam | So why "bzr" versus darcs, git, monotone, hg, ... | 10:48 |
| === bimberi_ [n=dave@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | I could go into a blow-by-blow of how we function differently from each of them, but that is a very long discussion | 10:48 |
| jam | The short answer is that we have tried (and continue to put a lot of effort) into making bzr a great system that you enjoy using | 10:49 |
| === habeeb_ [n=habeeb@athedsl-110080.home.otenet.gr] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | We support multiple workflows from fully distributed to mostly centralized (like SVN). | 10:49 |
| === ash211 [n=andrew@user-112174a.dsl.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | We are getting better and better integration with Launchpad | 10:49 |
| jam | allowing you to track open bugs and close them from a simple 'bzr commit' | 10:49 |
| jam | And it is also the system that Ubuntu is switching to for its development | 10:50 |
| jam | because it wants to make it easy to contribute changes back and forth between Ubuntu and upstream (debian, etc) | 10:50 |
| jam | Admiral_Chicago: jam: can't SVN be set up with anyone having commit rights | 10:50 |
| jam | SVN can be set up to give everyone access rights | 10:51 |
| jam | but that is sort of like changing your web page to remove any password protected logins | 10:51 |
| jam | Anyone can now introduce changes into your core | 10:51 |
| jam | With bzr, everyone has access to create changes | 10:51 |
| jam | but *you* have control over your mainline | 10:51 |
| jam | And bzr just makes it (much) easier to merge their changes | 10:51 |
| poolie | <Adhemar> QUESTION: (As a non-programmer) Suppose I would like to have a versioned home directory (not just source, most of it text though) (the Video directory excluded) and have the home of my laptop "merged" regularly with the home of my desktop. Would using bzr make sense somehow? (Or are you aware of better alternatives, maybe transparent versioned file systems for Ubuntu?) | 10:52 |
| jam | Also, SVN doesn't handle merging between branches within the same repository very well... we let you do it from anywhere | 10:52 |
| poolie | Adhemar: bzr could be good for that; you should also look at Unison, which is just a two-way smart synchronization tool | 10:53 |
| jam | Adhemar: I use bzr for the files I modify, like .vimrc .bashrc, etc | 10:53 |
| === berg [n=desktop@201-75-105-115-ma.cpe.vivax.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | but for most projects | 10:53 |
| jam | I have a separate bzr branch for them | 10:53 |
| jam | rather than having everything in one mega-project in my home dir | 10:54 |
| jam | ih70: QUESTION: How well does bzr deal with binary files? | 10:54 |
| jam | ih70: In general, bzr handles binary files well | 10:54 |
| jam | The binary delta code is not optimal | 10:54 |
| jam | but it does produce deltas | 10:54 |
| jam | The biggest shortcomming is handling of *large* (100MB+) files. | 10:55 |
| jam | We are focused right now on making bzr very good for source control | 10:55 |
| jam | and versioning CD ISO's is a very different project | 10:55 |
| jam | rmunn: QUESTION: If I'm using bzr, but upstream isn't, how do I easily create a patch to present to them? Is there a "bzr push --patch" or some such command? | 10:55 |
| poolie | rmunn: easiest is | 10:56 |
| poolie | bzr diff -r ancestor:../upstream . | 10:56 |
| poolie | if your import of their upstream branch is in ../upstearm | 10:56 |
| poolie | <txwikinger> QUESTION: Can you push through web proxies, using dav, and on web servers needing authentication? | 10:57 |
| poolie | yes, you can | 10:57 |

| === berg [n=desktop@201-75-105-115-ma.cpe.vivax.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | Loic: I know there are a couple of ways to do this | 10:58 |
| jam | There is a "bzr-buildpackage" plugin | 10:58 |
| jam | to help automate generating debian packages (and possibly rpms as well) | 10:58 |
| jam | In general, with bzr you can have finer grained details about what has been changing, associated with the actual changes to the files | 10:59 |
| jam | versus a "release 1.1" has these changes versus "1.0". | 10:59 |
| === rrittenhouse [n=tad@unaffiliated/rrittenhouse] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| jam | rulus: question: I'm using bzr for school reports made in Latex. I'm thinking of hosting the branch on my webspace as a backup, and then commit changes to it through bzr. However, I don't want the whole world to read my school reports. Is there some bzr gpg plugin to en/decrypt on the fly? | 11:00 |
| jam | rulus: At present, there is not an encrypted layer | 11:00 |
| jam | however, you can use .htaccess files to control who has access to your files | 11:00 |
| poolie | time to finish... | 11:00 |
| poolie | rulus: someone is working on an encrypted storage format | 11:01 |
| jam | and there is a Google SoC project for having an encrypted repository | 11:01 |
| jam | I think we need to wrap it up | 11:01 |
| jam | Since it is time for the next session | 11:01 |
| jam | But I would like to invite everyone to #bzr if they have any more questions | 11:01 |
