| rledge21 | would anyone know where I could learn more about making a desktop applet? | 00:55 |
|---|---|---|
| posingaspopular | making? | 00:56 |
| posingaspopular | you might want to ask in #ubuntu-devel for that one | 00:56 |
| rledge21 | okay, thanks | 00:56 |
| kgoetz | i'd suggest a channel for <your desktop environment> | 00:57 |
| rledge21 | gnome it is | 00:57 |
| kgoetz | /server irc.gnome.org would be the place to look :) | 00:58 |
| rledge21 | thanks :) | 00:59 |
| j1mc | i can assign colors to my gmail tags now. man, gmail keeps coming up with new stuff. | 01:35 |
| j1mc | oops - wrong channel. :) | 01:35 |
| posingaspopular | smooth j1mc | 01:38 |
| * oldmanstan beats j1mc with a sock full of ping pong balls | 01:45 | |
| somerville32 | :] | 01:57 |
| somerville32 | The new version is _way_ too slow for my old beast | 01:57 |
| j1mc | oldmanstan: you there? | 02:07 |
| oldmanstan | no | 02:08 |
| oldmanstan | wait, yes i am | 02:08 |
| j1mc | can i email you an xml doc file for you to see if it validates on your computer? | 02:08 |
| oldmanstan | sure thing | 02:08 |
| j1mc | i tried a ulink insteal of an xref to fix a validation issue - it works on my computer, but i want to make sure it works on someone else's. | 02:08 |
| j1mc | i don't want my directory structure to be something messes things up. | 02:09 |
| oldmanstan | go fo it | 02:09 |
| j1mc | sent. thanks, george. | 02:12 |
| oldmanstan | hmm | 02:15 |
| oldmanstan | i get a bunch of external entity errors | 02:16 |
| j1mc | really?? | 02:16 |
| oldmanstan | but it's not in the right place in the tree so that's prolly why | 02:16 |
| j1mc | on what lines. | 02:16 |
| j1mc | what is not in the right place in the tree? | 02:16 |
| oldmanstan | lines 1 and 5, so yeah, it's prolly cuz i didn't stick it in the tree structure | 02:17 |
| oldmanstan | i just put it in a random directory and validated it | 02:17 |
| j1mc | ah, ok. | 02:17 |
| j1mc | /xubuntu/switching/C/installing.xml | 02:17 |
| j1mc | i don't think that the validator actually validates a ulink. | 02:18 |
| j1mc | after all, for it to do so, it would have to go out to a website to make sure the website were there. | 02:18 |
| j1mc | so as long as the ulink is correct in syntax, it will validate. (i think) | 02:19 |
| oldmanstan | yep, stuck it in the right place and it validates peachy | 02:19 |
| j1mc | ok. i'll load it into yelp, and see if clicking on the link brings me to the dualboot page. | 02:20 |
| j1mc | if it doesn't, then i'll have to fix stuff. otherwise, i should be ok. thanks, oldmanstan | 02:20 |
| oldmanstan | no prob | 02:20 |
| oldmanstan | glad to see somebody getting stuff done :) | 02:20 |
| j1mc | :) | 02:21 |
| j1mc | i think i'm going to send a note out to the doc list about this one. | 02:27 |
| j1mc | i can't get the link to work. | 02:28 |
| oldmanstan | weird, does it work but not connect? or just totally not work? | 02:28 |
| j1mc | it says the uri is invalid, even though the path is valid. | 02:30 |
| j1mc | (i've modified it since i sent it to you) | 02:30 |
| oldmanstan | strange | 02:30 |

| sommer | mdke: thanks it makes sense now. | 13:36 |
| sommer | mdke: okay... Now I think I get it. thanks again | 14:51 |
| bogey- | what what up, bogey in da house!>!> | 20:22 |
| sommer | mdke: I brought up updating doc.u.c at the server meeting... didn't get much love though | 21:32 |
| sommer | mdke: just an fyi... thanks for your help with that. | 21:32 |
| mdke | sommer: cheers, every little helps. I'm stressing the sysadmins | 22:52 |
| mdke | sommer: do you want to investigate the question of how to convert docbook to txt or man/info pages for the serverguide? I looked into it and found that it's not as easy as I thought | 22:53 |
| mdke | sommer: about the best way was to generate html and then run it through "lynx -dump" to get a text file, but it's pretty ugly | 22:53 |
| mdke | sommer: there are various docbook2man tools around but I didn't succeed in getting to grips with why they didn't work | 22:54 |
