=== Topic (#ubuntu-doc): set by crimsun at Sat Dec 30 01:13:50 2006
(robotgeek/#ubuntu-doc) they go to the main section, not to the direct entry. was that intentional?07:01
=== Starting logfile irclogs/ubuntu-doc.log
robotgeekokay, this is weird. i think i am seeing feisty documentation, not gutsy (help:/kubuntu links to feisty)07:05
robotgeeknixternal: any ideas on a workaround?07:05
nixternalsorry...where is this located?08:00
nixternaldon't worry about the index..I am going to rewrite it on Sunday08:00
robotgeeknixternal: after you build the thing, when you click the links, i think it goes to the feisy documentation (on my system)08:01
nixternalit should go to whatever is in /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kubuntu/*08:02
nixternaloh08:03
robotgeekright, how do we preview then?08:03
nixternalya ya08:03
nixternalthe links in the index are type="help" links...08:03
nixternalso ya they would go to your feisty docs if you are on feisty08:03
nixternalhttp://doc.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/doc_name/C08:04
nixternalreplace doc_name with the doc you want to look at08:04
robotgeekoh okay. that works08:04
nixternalI am not to worried about the website docs just yet08:05
robotgeeknixternal: i was trying to preview the docs, ended up seeing the feisty docs08:06
nixternalhehe08:07

anebhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal #  Note that if you are using mv with sudo you will not be able to use the ~ shortcut, but will have to use the full pathnames to your files. This is because when you are working as root, ~ will refer to the root account's home directory, not your own.02:18
anebthat's wrong. ~ is expanded by the shell as a shortcut.02:18

KingskidHi! I just got a question concerning Handbook for Edubuntu: Will there be some big changes in the content? I'd like to take some time to translate it into Czech but don't really want to work on it and later find out that it was in vain. Thanx!02:50
mptaneb, if you could fix the page that would be excellent03:36
=== Kingskid [n=vaclav@snat6.klfree.cz] has left #ubuntu-doc []
anebeveryone, ping.04:04
fijampong04:06
anebmpt: i have fixed the page04:44
mptaneb, cool, thanks04:46
=== aneb fishes mpt out of the water. "hello? i need your help!"
anebmpt?04:57
anebhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/VMwarePlayerAndQemu # should this be fixed for a update?04:58
mptaneb, I suggest contacting the authors <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VMwarePlayerAndQemu?action=info> and asking them if they're ok licensing it under the CC BY-SA05:02
mptIf they are, it can be moved to help.ubuntu.com where more people will see it.05:02
mptIf most of it is obsolete, then you could start your own replacement page on help.ubuntu.com instead.05:03
anebmpt: i see 7 authors, 3 don't have a wiki page. how do i contact these 3?05:10
mptaneb, http://launchpad.net/people05:14
mptsearch for their name, and you should find contact details of some sort05:15
mpt(Relicensing is a pain :-/ )05:15
anebmpt: i see 4 profiles on a search05:18
anebhttps://launchpad.net/~manhinli # the one who edited the page05:19
anebno contact details05:19
=== Gwaihir [n=Gwaihir@ubuntu/member/gwaihir] has joined #ubuntu-doc
anebokay, no contact details for this name at all, i'll move on temporarily and if the other 2 can be found and say OK (along with the 5 people), i'll move it there. but as of now, i think  that most of it is obsolete. but i will try this first because this page seems useful05:22
mptIf manhinli = JamesLi, then that's ok, the change is tiny05:23
mptyou could revert back to v55, then move it05:23
anebmpt: why v5505:23
mptthe one just before JamesLi changed it05:23
aneboh right ok05:24
anebreverted, i'll move after rest OKs things05:25
mptyou're a star05:26
