| duncan-nz | is anyone able to confirm a bug report I have? Open Yelp and search for 'workspace', then select the link to documentation for 'clock'. Tell me what happens please. | 12:45 |
|---|---|---|
| mpt | duncan-nz, none of the search results I get mention "clock" | 13:18 |
| duncan-nz | mpt, are you running Hardy with Yelp 2.22.1 | 13:19 |
| mpt | duncan-nz, yes | 13:19 |
| mpt | Possibly I don't have the relevant package installed, though | 13:21 |
| duncan-nz | mpt, the panel clock is standard to the gnome desktop. Running gnome? | 13:24 |
| mpt | yes | 13:24 |
| mpt | I get results from, in order: GNOME 2.14 Desktop System Administration Guide, Klotski, Assistive Tools, Tali, Introduction to the Desktop, Sticky Notes, "Problem showing document", Sound Juicer, and Passwords and Encryption Keys | 13:25 |
| duncan-nz | Do you have Tracker enabled? | 13:31 |
| duncan-nz | mpt, ? | 13:37 |
| mpt | duncan-nz, no, I don't know how to do that | 13:40 |
| duncan-nz | mpt, ok. What do you get if you search for 'clock manual'? | 13:42 |
| mpt | "clock manual" is result #3 | 13:42 |
| mpt | (which is a bug in itself -- it should be result #1) | 13:43 |
| mpt | I click it, and I get the "Clock Manual" page, which is empty except for two copies of the same table of contents, which is daft | 13:43 |
| mpt | plus links to the previous and next sections | 13:44 |
| mpt | So the page contains *three* links to something called "Introduction", but doesn't actually contain any help! | 13:44 |
| duncan-nz | Yes it's odd that the first page isn't the introduction. But for some larger manuals it makes sense. | 13:45 |
| duncan-nz | When you say two copies do you mean one in the middle and one to the right? | 13:45 |
| mpt | yep | 13:46 |
| duncan-nz | ok, so that's not so stupid, because the right hand links stay there as you navigate. But feel free to report it as a bug. | 13:49 |
| duncan-nz | Could you do me the favour of enabling Tracker? | 13:49 |
| mpt | Sure, if you let me know how to do that I'd be very grateful, because then Deskbar would be more useful :-) | 13:49 |
| duncan-nz | I'd really like to isolate this silly little bug. | 13:50 |
| duncan-nz | mpt, 'System > Preferences > Search and Indexing' | 13:51 |
| duncan-nz | mpt, let me know when/if you have question or have it running. | 13:52 |
| mpt | Every checkbox is checked except "Generate thumbnails" and "Perform fast index merges" | 13:53 |
| duncan-nz | Oh, then have a look at 'Applications > Accessories > Tracker Search Tool' and search for a word it should be able to find, but which isn't all over the place. | 13:54 |
| mpt | I have a file on my desktop called "Decluttering". Searching in Tracker Search Tool for "decluttering" returns no results. | 13:55 |
| duncan-nz | OK, so it's not working. Does it tell you that it has not finished indexing? | 13:57 |
| duncan-nz | or any other error? | 13:57 |
| mpt | no | 13:57 |
| mpt | All it says is "Your search returned no results." | 13:57 |
| duncan-nz | In 'System > Administration > Session Preferences > Startup Programs' is the entry 'Tracker' enabled? | 13:59 |
| mpt | I have no "Session Preferences" item in my Administration menu | 14:00 |
| mpt | I assume you mean System > Preferences > Sessions? | 14:01 |
| mpt | In "Startup Programs" there, Tracker is present and checked | 14:01 |
| mpt | And in "Current Session", "trackerd" is present and has a lifebuoy icon | 14:03 |
| mpt | (and so does "tracker-applet") | 14:03 |
| duncan-nz | mpt, I'm looking around for an answer now... | 14:06 |
| mpt | If it's a common problem, maybe it deserves a help page of its own :-) | 14:06 |
| duncan-nz | Odd, that it doesn't just work for you. | 14:08 |
| duncan-nz | And you say that under the 'Files' tab ' the home directory is selected to be indexed? | 14:08 |
| mpt | yes | 14:09 |
| mpt | "Index and watch my home directory" | 14:09 |
| duncan-nz | Do you feel like doing some work on the wiki? | 14:09 |
| mpt | Actually I'm at work at the moment, but when I get home, sure | 14:09 |
| duncan-nz | Oh, ok. I'll find the link for you. | 14:10 |
| duncan-nz | Ok, took a fair bit of work to get things sorted out over at the wiki, but here is the section that needs work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AccessoriesApplications#Tracker%20Search%20Tool | 15:05 |
| Mhz | sera a tutti ragazzi | 20:38 |
| Mhz | :) | 20:38 |
| Mhz | scusatemi ho un grosso problema con lo spazio allocato sulla mia partizione linux,ho terminato lo spazio disponibile | 20:39 |
| Mhz | qualcuno ha esperienza con gparted? | 20:40 |
| Mhz | volevo sapere se era possibile aumentare lo spazio allocandolo correttamente sulla partizione linux | 20:40 |
| Mhz | nessuno vè.. | 20:41 |
| mpt | duncan-nz, I don't understand why that page exists | 21:10 |
| duncan-nz | which page? | 21:48 |
| duncan-nz | oh, the one for applications... ? | 21:48 |
| duncan-nz | because otherwise there is no way to get an overview of the ubuntu applications and what they do. | 21:50 |
| duncan-nz | all the documentation either assumes you know what you want to do, or you know which application you need. What about just looking around to see what's possible? | 21:51 |
