[00:28] <Turl> newz2000: can you ping a server and tell me the latency?
[03:36] <newz2000> Turl: yes, sure
[20:56] <newz2000> ryanakca: do you have a moment to make a minor change to the kubuntu download page?
[20:57] <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)
[20:58] <SiDi> hello :)
[20:58] <newz2000> leave me a ping to let me know
[20:58] <newz2000> hi SiDi
[20:59] <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
[21:00] <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
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <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
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <newz2000> If you want to tinker with it I'd love some help
[21:04] <newz2000> Do you want the html source?
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <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
[21:07] <newz2000> The latest version is supposedly close in speed
[21:07] <newz2000> but unfortunately I don't have much say in the matter
[21:08] <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
[21:11] <SiDi> Okies
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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 ;)
[21:24] <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
[21:26] <SiDi> http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8611/capture1lfg.png
[21:42] <SiDi> newz2000: the css is the same between all pages, right ?
[21:42] <newz2000> SiDi: yes
[21:43] <newz2000> there are a couple languages with the exact problem you see
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <SiDi> it happens all the time with gdm themes
[21:48] <SiDi> btw, we sould do something like iGoogle :)
[21:49] <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
[22:01] <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
[22:04] <newz2000> ok, thanks SiDi
[22:43] <ryanakca> newz2000: Yep
[22:43] <newz2000> ryanakca: did you already do it?
[22:44] <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
