nixternalwhats up oldmanstan?10:32
oldmanstanoh hello10:32
nixternaloh oh oh10:33
oldmanstani'm working on the printing doc for xubuntu and i'm stuck on the network printing section, there doesn't seem to be a good, consistent way of setting up a network printer in xubuntu10:33
oldmanstanso i want to know if it would be kosher to just tell people to install gnome-cups-manager10:33
oldmanstanand have them do it that way10:33
nixternalyou should ask a Xubuntu dev about that one10:34
nixternalwhat does Xubuntu use for Print Management?10:34
nixternalI figured they would have used g-cups-mgr10:35
oldmanstanno, xubuntu has its own gui10:35
oldmanstandifferent from the xfce and ubuntu guis10:35
nixternalahh, well then, try and find out from them how they would go about setting up a network printer and what they might use10:35
oldmanstanok, cool10:35
nixternalprobably go to the xubuntu-devel mailing list with that one...you might get the best response that way from devs10:36
oldmanstanoh ok, i just left a message on irc, i'll hit up the list in a second, right before you came back i'd emailed the doc list too, haha10:37
nixternalroger that10:38
oldmanstanproblem solved10:44
nixternalthat was fast10:45
oldmanstanyeah, someone got back to me on irc right away10:46
oldmanstananother question, better to tell people to install thing using command line or synaptic? command line seems more straightforward to me, but i dunno10:51
nixternalalways go gui10:54
nixternalpeople who know how to use the command line will use it, those new to Xubuntu will more than likely only know pretty windows10:54
oldmanstanahh, gotcha10:55

Jmanfoonow that that's dealt with, are there any documentation projects for Kubuntu I could help with?11:01
nixternalJmanfoo: what are you interested in?11:02
nixternalmyself and jjesse are the 2 main kubuntu documentors11:02
Jmanfoomainly network related stuff, and transitioning from windows to linux11:03
nixternalhave you taken a look at the current network section in Kubuntu docs?11:03
nixternalI am sure that can use some fixing. Especially the wireless section I am sure11:03
oldmanstannixternal: another thing, gnome-cups-manager doesn't create a menu entry in xubuntu, so it has to be run command line, alt-f2 the best way to describe it?11:04
nixternalumm, yes...I would probably file a bug though against that if it hasn't been already11:04
Jmanfoohmm, there isn't much on networking here, at least what i'm seeing here https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/networking.html11:05
nixternalwe don't use the desktop guide anymore11:05
nixternalhttp://doc.ubuntu.com/kubuntu11:05
nixternalthat is what is being built from our current svn repository11:05
Jmanfoogotcha11:06
oldmanstanwhere exactly would i file that bug?  sorry, never done that b4, would it be on launchpad somewhere?11:08
nixternalyup11:09
oldmanstani mean, i know where the bug stuff is on launchpad, but is there a set place to file for certain packages?11:09
nixternalyou would file against gnome-cups-manager11:09
=== nixternal looks
nixternal85 g-c-m bugs...searching for menu related ones for g-c-m11:10
nixternallovely, and lp just timedout11:10
oldmanstanyeah, me too11:10
oldmanstanhaha oops, apparently it's already been fixed, but it calls the menu entry "Printing" exactly like the xubuntu printing icon, it just puts it in the system folder rather than settings11:29
