| Turl | newz2000: can you ping a server and tell me the latency? | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| newz2000 | Turl: yes, sure | 03:36 |
| newz2000 | ryanakca: do you have a moment to make a minor change to the kubuntu download page? | 20:56 |
| newz2000 | when you get a chance, change the iframe's src tag so that instead of http://www.ubuntu.com/syndicated/kubuntu-download it is http://www.ubuntu.com/syndicated/kubuntu-download?kubuntu=1 | 20:57 |
| newz2000 | (only change is the addition of ?kubuntu=1 to the end) | 20:57 |
| SiDi | hello :) | 20:58 |
| newz2000 | leave me a ping to let me know | 20:58 |
| newz2000 | hi SiDi | 20:58 |
| SiDi | just remembered i joined the channel | 20:59 |
| SiDi | like a good hour and a half ago | 20:59 |
| SiDi | what's up, newz2000 ? | 20:59 |
| newz2000 | hey, not much here | 20:59 |
| newz2000 | Just doing some maintenance on ubuntu.com | 20:59 |
| newz2000 | some of our pages break the drupal search | 20:59 |
| SiDi | i wanted to tell you, i ran into trouble with jaunty's start page | 20:59 |
| SiDi | nothing to be worrying about, but i thought i'd tell you | 21:00 |
| newz2000 | search box too wide? | 21:00 |
| SiDi | exactly ! :) | 21:00 |
| SiDi | it doesnt leave enough room for the button with the french translation of research | 21:00 |
| SiDi | of search* | 21:00 |
| newz2000 | SiDi: there are two problems, one is going to be easy, one not | 21:00 |
| newz2000 | is yours the problem where it's just a little too big to fit? | 21:01 |
| SiDi | yeh | 21:01 |
| SiDi | well, it looks like the search box is fixed-width, not leaving room for the button to breathe | 21:01 |
| newz2000 | ok. That one I'll be able to fix easily. I've set some time aside today to do that | 21:01 |
| SiDi | isnt it possible to put the button float right, and the box with width 100% and just some margin ? i haven't done css for a while but it should be ok | 21:01 |
| newz2000 | not quite but won't be too bad | 21:02 |
| newz2000 | this one is harder: http://people.ubuntu.com/~asac/tmp/test.png | 21:02 |
| SiDi | hm | 21:02 |
| SiDi | if it's still in that state in a few days, feel free to drop me an email, i used to love spending nights fixing this kind of stuff | 21:03 |
| newz2000 | If you want to tinker with it I'd love some help | 21:04 |
| newz2000 | Do you want the html source? | 21:04 |
| SiDi | Sure | 21:05 |
| SiDi | my mail is sidnioulz@gmail.com | 21:05 |
| newz2000 | here, I'll give you a link | 21:05 |
| SiDi | We only target gecko/webkit/khtml, right ? | 21:05 |
| newz2000 | gecko really | 21:05 |
| SiDi | (ie we dont bother with ie :D) | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | correct | 21:06 |
| SiDi | Ok, i'll have a look asap then | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | SiDi: have you used bzr before? | 21:06 |
| SiDi | i've used it to download sources :P | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | ok, good | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | bzr branch lp:ubuntu-start-page | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | will get you the source | 21:06 |
| SiDi | downloading | 21:06 |
| SiDi | btw, i find bzr horribly slow compared to git :P | 21:06 |
| newz2000 | The latest version is supposedly close in speed | 21:07 |
| newz2000 | but unfortunately I don't have much say in the matter | 21:07 |
| newz2000 | the output files are in the www directory. You can grab the 9.04/index.html.fr one and tweak it. | 21:08 |
| newz2000 | if you have success, just send me the bzr diff for the directory and I should be able to work it out | 21:08 |
| newz2000 | I hope its easy | 21:08 |
| SiDi | Okies | 21:11 |
| SiDi | oh btw, when i checked it out, it was completely different from the actual start page i had | 21:12 |
| newz2000 | oh? | 21:12 |
| SiDi | ok, i'll try to boot jaunty in 10/20 mins | 21:12 |
| SiDi | if my keyboard is recognised i'll tell you exactly what i fell on | 21:13 |
| newz2000 | ok | 21:13 |
| SiDi | second, finishing a few translations and quitting #xubuntu ;) | 21:13 |
| SiDi | back | 21:24 |
| SiDi | uploading you an image of what i get | 21:24 |
| SiDi | it's a very default xubuntu install, on 15" screen | 21:24 |
| SiDi | http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8611/capture1lfg.png | 21:26 |
| SiDi | newz2000: the css is the same between all pages, right ? | 21:42 |
| newz2000 | SiDi: yes | 21:42 |
| newz2000 | there are a couple languages with the exact problem you see | 21:43 |
| SiDi | Well, i think it just comes from fixedwidth input | 21:45 |
| newz2000 | that'd be a nice easy fix | 21:45 |
| SiDi | and some languages have a bigger search button because the text is bigger | 21:45 |
| SiDi | it happens all the time with gdm themes | 21:46 |
| SiDi | btw, we sould do something like iGoogle :) | 21:48 |
| newz2000 | SiDi: that was a plan at one time | 21:49 |
| newz2000 | however its very difficult to do well | 21:49 |
| SiDi | well, it's always good to have a web portal. it's true its a lot of maintenance | 21:49 |
| SiDi | but it really makes user stick with you | 21:49 |
| SiDi | anyways, rebooting firefox, just installed some webdev plugin | 21:49 |
| SiDi | brb | 21:49 |
| SiDi | i need to go | 22:01 |
| SiDi | i'll work on it tonight | 22:01 |
| SiDi | i'll keep you informed newz2000 | 22:01 |
| SiDi | good night everyone | 22:01 |
| newz2000 | ok, thanks SiDi | 22:04 |
| ryanakca | newz2000: Yep | 22:43 |
| newz2000 | ryanakca: did you already do it? | 22:43 |
| ryanakca | newz2000: oh, *looks* | 22:44 |
| newz2000 | ryanakca: don't do it | 22:44 |
| newz2000 | you don't need to worry about it now | 22:44 |
| ryanakca | OK | 22:44 |
| newz2000 | I did something else | 22:44 |
| newz2000 | a couple pages were messing up the search engine so had to put work arounds in | 22:44 |
