| XiXaQ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba <-- This page recommends that a user uses ftp for sharing files between linux computers.. It should recommend ssh instead. | 01:32 |
|---|---|---|
| Flannel | XiXaQ: sftp you mean, I imagine (well, scp would work too). Go ahead and change it. | 02:31 |
| XiXaQ | I can't change that? | 02:34 |
| XiXaQ | Flannel, can I? How do I do so? | 02:37 |
| Flannel | XiXaQ: Do you have a launchpad ID? | 02:37 |
| XiXaQ | yes. | 02:38 |
| XiXaQ | I know how to modify pages on the wiki, but I thought the help.ubuntu.com was restricted? | 02:38 |
| Flannel | XiXaQ: help.ubuntu.com is, the community section isn't, no. | 02:39 |
| XiXaQ | oh, ok. | 02:39 |
| XiXaQ | Flannel, how do I make a url? I'm linking to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto, but I'd like it to say "See SSHHowto" instead of the complete url. | 02:50 |
| XiXaQ | well. It's not very important. Only cosmetic :) | 02:53 |
| Flannel | XiXaQ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnLinking see the bottom-ish for examples | 02:54 |
| XiXaQ | well. I tried using the wikiname, but that wouldn't work? | 02:54 |
| XiXaQ | that is, I used SSHHowto. | 02:55 |
| mdke | XiXaQ: you use: "See [[SSHHowto]]" | 10:39 |
| mdke | XiXaQ: you should definitely read the page which Flannel showed you about how to link, it's very useful | 10:40 |
| mdke | cody-somerville: I'd like to remove the firefox-homepage and firefox-homepage-locales alternatives. Since 8.04 firefox has no longer used them (using ubufox instead for getting the startpage address). I don't think kubuntu uses them. Does xubuntu use them at all? | 12:28 |
| mdke | cody-somerville: assuming xubuntu uses firefox, I think the answer must be "no" but I wanted to check | 12:29 |
| mdke | cody-somerville: I've posted more detail to -devel, let me know if it affects xubuntu at all | 12:39 |
| Syntux | shall we translate "<application>Yelp Help Browser</application>" in user-guide ? or keep it as it is | 13:56 |
| mdke | Syntux: yes, you can translate anything which is inside a tag, you just shouldn't translate the tag itself | 14:49 |
| Syntux | lovely. | 14:52 |
| mdke | Syntux: have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Translation for some more detailed guidance | 14:52 |
| Syntux | Thanks | 14:53 |
| mdke | Syntux: oh, one other thing - if you are translating the user-guide, try and contribute your translations upstream too, Ubuntu receives those translations along with other distributions | 15:17 |
| Syntux | mdke, by exporting and uploading to .po to upstream ? | 15:18 |
| mdke | Syntux: sure, or by just doing the translation directly with the upstream po file | 15:28 |
| mdke | and then uploading that to Launchpad, if necessary | 15:28 |
| Syntux | mdke, hmm so the nice rosseta isn't usable here :-) | 15:29 |
| mdke | Syntux: that's true. You can work in Rosetta and send the po file exported from that to upstream, they can merge it | 15:32 |
| Syntux | there should be a way to automate this, only then using Rosetta can be meaningful :-) | 15:32 |
| mdke | yes, I'm sure the Rosetta developers are very aware of that | 15:34 |
| Syntux | I'll see if I can contribute something in that arena, Thank you mdke :-) | 15:38 |
| mdke | np | 15:39 |
| cody-somerville | mdke, we do | 18:06 |
| emet | hey | 20:05 |
| cody-somerville | Hello | 20:05 |
| emet | is the system documentation on launchpad? | 20:07 |
| emet | I want to make a OOBE branch | 20:08 |
| emet | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc | 20:09 |
| emet | :P | 20:09 |
| emet | so there is an OOBE ish thing | 21:06 |
| emet | okay | 21:11 |
| emet | it needs to be prettier | 21:11 |
| emet | anyone here? | 21:22 |
| mdke | cody-somerville: in what way is it used? firefox can't use it, I don't think | 22:53 |
| cody-somerville | I think it is going to the Ubuntu page now | 22:53 |
| cody-somerville | I need to see how it is working now | 22:53 |
| mdke | cody-somerville: does xubuntu use firefox? | 22:56 |
| cody-somerville | yes | 22:56 |
| mdke | cody-somerville: the same firefox as ubuntu, not a customised version? | 22:57 |
| cody-somerville | I believe so. | 22:57 |
| mdke | ok, in that case it's not using the alternatives | 22:57 |
| mdke | firefox gets its startpage from the ubufox package | 22:57 |
| mdke | so you'd need an xubufox in order to customise the homepage | 22:58 |
| cody-somerville | Yes | 23:12 |
| cody-somerville | I don't really remember being alerted to that change, fyi | 23:13 |
| mdke | cody-somerville: I made a similar point to asac during the last release cycle when he implemented it; but he said that he had raised it on a mailing list. I can't remember exactly the details | 23:13 |
| mdke | I guess it was specced out at a conference | 23:14 |
| mdke | anyhow, let me know if you have any issues about removing the alternatives | 23:14 |
| mdke | but I think as long as you are using firefox, they don't make a difference | 23:15 |
| mdke | I was just making sure there isn't some browser out there using them | 23:15 |
| cody-somerville | Okay, sounds good. | 23:15 |
| mdke | feel free to approach asac about creating an xubufox, I suspect he would be happy to help | 23:15 |
| emet | okay | 23:25 |
| emet | where can I find the XML file that defines the "home page" of the help system | 23:25 |
| emet | I want to use it as a base from my OOBE idea | 23:25 |
| _MMA_ | Would my assumption be correct in thinking that people on the doc team and in this channel are responsible for this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#Channels ? | 23:54 |
| _MMA_ | I'd like #ubuntustudio-devel added to the "Team channels" section. | 23:55 |
| _MMA_ | With "luisbg" as the "Contact person". | 23:56 |
