| nixternal | mdke: doin' fine, a bit busy though | 01:25 |
|---|---|---|
| kanadian | nixternal: hi, im looking to dig into some ubuntu documentation but I'm more or less new at linux and documenting for that matter | 01:26 |
| nixternal | groovy...documenting is a fairly straight forward and easy process | 01:26 |
| nixternal | the "new at Linux" part usually takes a bit to get over | 01:27 |
| kanadian | i stumbled upon your blog the other day and was actually talking to you just yesterday. do you remember "ubuntu" | 01:27 |
| nixternal | yup, in #kde | 01:34 |
| kanadian | yup, well anyways, Im not sure how I stumbled on your blog but I did somehow through google and ended up back at ubuntu/community | 01:35 |
| nixternal | hehe, so it is working then :) | 01:35 |
| kanadian | if you mean the google hits then yet | 01:35 |
| kanadian | yes | 01:35 |
| nixternal | honestly, documentation wise, I am working more in KDE now more so than Kubuntu especially with the release of KDE 4 | 01:36 |
| nixternal | there is so much documentation work to get done | 01:37 |
| * dsas_ flogs nixternal harder | 01:37 | |
| nixternal | no flogging! | 01:38 |
| kanadian | yeah I realize this is a pretty busy point for kde4, i've been waiting anxiously for it to be released in mainstream distros, I need a stable system so I haven't installed the core packs for testing | 01:38 |
| kgoetz | hi all. whats the best practice for tellin gpeople to edit files? someone just pointed out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide#check uses 'gksudo gedit' to edit files. someone in #kubuntu was trying to install gksudo and gedit to be able to fllow the guide :) | 02:51 |
| Flannel | kgoetz: For them, they should use kdesu kate | 03:04 |
| kgoetz | Flannel: yes, i know. but how do you say that in guides? do you say 'or in kubuntu blah' or is there a page to link to? | 03:06 |
| Flannel | kgoetz: And for xubuntu, gksu mousepad, hmm, its difficult to be specific enough to not be confusing to users, but vague enough to allow that sort of stuff. | 03:06 |
| kgoetz | Flannel: which is why i thought there might be a page :/ | 03:08 |
| Flannel | kgoetz: I know for installing, they usually use "Any Method" for installing (synaptic, adept, apt-get, etc) | 03:08 |
| Flannel | But, I can't seem to find that page. | 03:08 |
| kgoetz | hm | 03:08 |
| Flannel | but, perhaps its time we make a page like that for editors as well | 03:08 |
| Flannel | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware I guess is the one. And there's also a note here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 03:09 |
| * Flannel realises he's in -doc | 03:09 | |
| kgoetz | hehe | 03:09 |

| popey | cool | 09:39 |

| kgoetz | hm. dupe. | 09:41 |
| mdke | not so sure | 09:50 |
| mdke | that one looks rather different | 09:50 |
| mdke | it's slightly worrying, that's the third bug I think we've had on failing to upgrade. | 09:50 |
| mdke | maybe something is wrong with scrollkeeper | 09:50 |
