[01:25] mdke: doin' fine, a bit busy though [01:26] 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] groovy...documenting is a fairly straight forward and easy process [01:27] the "new at Linux" part usually takes a bit to get over [01:27] i stumbled upon your blog the other day and was actually talking to you just yesterday. do you remember "ubuntu" [01:34] yup, in #kde [01:35] 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] hehe, so it is working then :) [01:35] if you mean the google hits then yet [01:35] yes [01:36] honestly, documentation wise, I am working more in KDE now more so than Kubuntu especially with the release of KDE 4 [01:37] there is so much documentation work to get done [01:37] * dsas_ flogs nixternal harder [01:38] no flogging! [01:38] 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 [02:51] 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 :) [03:04] kgoetz: For them, they should use kdesu kate [03:06] 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] 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. [03:08] Flannel: which is why i thought there might be a page :/ [03:08] kgoetz: I know for installing, they usually use "Any Method" for installing (synaptic, adept, apt-get, etc) [03:08] But, I can't seem to find that page. [03:08] hm [03:08] but, perhaps its time we make a page like that for editors as well [03:09] 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] hehe [04:21] New bug: #205408 in ubuntu-docs (main) "package ubuntu-docs 8.03.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/205408 [09:38] popey: the shuttle I showed you. It seems to work great. [09:39] cool [09:40] New bug: #205456 in ubuntu-docs (main) "package ubuntu-docs 8.03.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 134" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/205456 [09:41] hm. dupe. [09:50] not so sure [09:50] that one looks rather different [09:50] it's slightly worrying, that's the third bug I think we've had on failing to upgrade. [09:50] maybe something is wrong with scrollkeeper
