| bencrisford | Im working on a bug in edubuntu-docs | 10:01 |
|---|---|---|
| bencrisford | is it still apt-get source edubuntu-docs, or is it different for documentation? | 10:02 |
| mdke | bencrisford: that works, but the more reliable way is to get the bzr branch | 10:04 |
| bencrisford | ok, and after its fixed do i upload it to the bug? | 10:04 |
| bencrisford | or is it different for docs? | 10:04 |
| bencrisford | mdke: ^ | 10:04 |
| bencrisford | :) | 10:04 |
| mdke | bencrisford: yes, uploading a patch to the bug is th best way | 10:05 |
| bencrisford | as a diff.gz? | 10:05 |
| mdke | no need to archive it | 10:05 |
| bencrisford | just diff? :) | 10:06 |
| mdke | unless it's huge | 10:06 |
| bencrisford | wont be | 10:06 |
| bencrisford | im replacing one word with another | 10:06 |
| mdke | right | 10:06 |
| bencrisford | the easiest bug there is :) | 10:06 |
| bencrisford | which is why im doing it, to teach myself packaging :) | 10:06 |
| mdke | it's a good way to practice making patches | 10:07 |
| bencrisford | could i fix it like this mdke: | 10:08 |
| bencrisford | sed -i 's/Illustrator/InDesign/g' path/to/appropriate/doc? | 10:08 |
| mdke | bencrisford: probably best to edit the file manually so that you can see the context for any words that you are changing | 10:13 |
| bencrisford | ok... ill give it a go ;), thanks mdke :) | 10:14 |
| bencrisford | mdke: Whats the bzr branch called? | 10:17 |
| bencrisford | for edubuntu-docs | 10:17 |
| mdke | bencrisford: see if you can get the info from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Repository | 10:22 |
| bencrisford | ok, i was looking for that but didnt fint it :) | 10:23 |
| bencrisford | ty | 10:23 |
| bencrisford | mdke: I'm having trouble :'(, could I not just do apt-get source? | 10:25 |
| mdke | bencrisford: no, that's not a good idea for any packages which use bzr for their sources | 10:25 |
| bencrisford | oh | 10:26 |
| mdke | bencrisford: also, if you are looking to learn how to contribute to documentation, getting our documents is basically the first thing you need to know how to do :) | 10:26 |
| bencrisford | i know for ubuntu | 10:27 |
| bencrisford | i did it for that with no problems | 10:27 |
| bencrisford | this is the error i got: | 10:27 |
| bencrisford | ben@ben-laptop:~/edubuntu_bzr$ bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/edubuntu-jaunty | 10:27 |
| bencrisford | Permission denied (publickey). | 10:27 |
| bencrisford | bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: please check connectivity and permissions | 10:27 |
| mdke | it's the same process for edubuntu | 10:27 |
| mdke | ok, you need to tell bzr your Launchpad username I think | 10:28 |
| mdke | do "bzr launchpad-login *your_username_here*" | 10:28 |
| bencrisford | ok | 10:28 |
| mdke | without the asterisks | 10:28 |
| bencrisford | same error :/ | 10:29 |
| bencrisford | do i need my lp password? | 10:29 |
| mdke | no, it authenticates using your ssh key | 10:29 |
| mdke | I guess you don't have your ssh key | 10:29 |
| bencrisford | i do | 10:29 |
| bencrisford | its on my lp profile | 10:29 |
| mdke | and is it on the computer you are using? | 10:30 |
| bencrisford | yeah | 10:30 |
| bencrisford | well, i got it from this computer | 10:30 |
| bencrisford | i dont know if its "on" it | 10:30 |
| bencrisford | should it be in .bashrc? | 10:30 |
| mdke | no, in ~/.ssh | 10:30 |
| mdke | (which is a directory) | 10:32 |
| bencrisford | Host *launchpad.net | 10:32 |
| bencrisford | User USERNAME | 10:32 |
| bencrisford | thats the contents of my config file | 10:32 |
| bencrisford | should i change it at all :/? | 10:32 |
| mdke | I don't know what file you are talking about | 10:32 |
| bencrisford | ~/.ssh/config | 10:33 |
| bencrisford | mdke: ^ | 10:33 |
| mdke | I don't have such a file | 10:33 |
| mdke | but what happens if you do "cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub" | 10:33 |
| bencrisford | cat: /home/ben/.ssh/id_dsa.pub: No such file or directory | 10:34 |
| bencrisford | i think i gave my id_dsa a different name | 10:34 |
| mdke | hmm | 10:34 |
| mdke | ls ~/.ssh | 10:34 |
| bencrisford | ben@ben-laptop:~$ ls ~/.ssh | 10:35 |
| bencrisford | config known_hosts | 10:35 |
| mdke | ok, your ssh key isn't there | 10:36 |
| mdke | so it can't authenticate with Launchpad | 10:36 |
| bencrisford | thats weird :/ | 10:36 |
| bencrisford | maybe its somewhere else | 10:36 |
| mdke | you can get the branch over http instead of ssh as a workaround, but that's worth sorting out because ssh keys are very useful | 10:38 |
| mdke | I have to go now, back later | 10:38 |
| bencrisford | ok, bye | 10:38 |
| bencrisford1 | I changed the wording of a paragraph in School Advocacy (edubuntu-docs) to fix a bug and now the motu recommend I upload it to my PPA and make a merge proposal | 12:47 |
| bencrisford1 | but I don't know which files to upload | 12:47 |
| bencrisford1 | just the .diff? the .dsc? .tar.gz? | 12:48 |
| bencrisford1 | =S | 12:48 |
| bencrisford1 | or shall I just upload it as a patch to the bug? | 12:48 |
| bencrisford1 | (the diff ^) | 12:48 |
| bencrisford1 | mdke: Back yet? | 13:41 |
| bencrisford1 | :( | 13:41 |

| LaserJock | anybody from ~ubuntu-core-doc over here? | 19:56 |
| Shane_Fagan | We all write the core doc. You must mean a person with commit privileges ? | 20:00 |
| Shane_Fagan | LaserJock: what do you need help with? | 20:01 |
| LaserJock | yeah, I need somebody with bzr commit access | 20:01 |
| LaserJock | I need the edubuntu bzr branch branched for Karmic | 20:01 |
| mdke | LaserJock: will do | 21:03 |
| LaserJock | mdke: unfortunately, with the new job I got, etc. I'm not going to be much involved with Edubuntu | 21:03 |
| LaserJock | mdke: sbalneav is the main doc guy with access right now for Edubuntu | 21:04 |
| mdke | LaserJock: congrats | 21:04 |
| LaserJock | but with the revitalization effort that's going on there seems to be a number of people interested in doc work | 21:04 |
| mdke | excellent | 21:05 |
| mdke | edubuntu-karmic pushed up | 21:05 |
| LaserJock | thanks | 21:05 |
| mdke | we'll be shortly moving it to an edubuntu-docs project, I don't know if you've followed that discussion | 21:06 |
| mdke | but obviously we'll update the wiki documentation for the project when that happens | 21:06 |
| LaserJock | ohh, is that moving forward? | 21:06 |
| mdke | yeah, just waiting on LP admins at the moment | 21:06 |
| mdke | what's the new job? | 21:08 |
| LaserJock | it's postdoc in the Space Vehicles Directorate at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Boston | 21:08 |
| LaserJock | chemistry stuff dealing with rocket/shuttle/satellite engines | 21:09 |
| mdke | holy cow | 21:09 |
| mdke | double congrats | 21:09 |
| LaserJock | I don't know if it really counts as rocket science | 21:10 |
| LaserJock | but it's a lot closer than I thought I'd ever get ;-) | 21:10 |
| mdke | sure it does :) | 21:10 |
| mdke | pleased to be moving? | 21:10 |
| Rocket2DMn | rocket science \o/ | 21:11 |
| LaserJock | mdke: yes and no | 21:11 |
| LaserJock | mdke: it's gonna cost a lot to move and be a big hassle | 21:11 |
| LaserJock | mdke: but Boston sounds awesome | 21:11 |
| Rocket2DMn | LaserJock, im in the middle of moving right now, i hear ya | 21:12 |
| mdke | yeah, I guess it's a long way to take all your stuff | 21:12 |
| LaserJock | 3k miles | 21:14 |
| LaserJock | pretty much literally across the US | 21:15 |
| Rocket2DMn | I did the same thing last summer LaserJock , went from los angeles to near philadelphia | 21:15 |
| LaserJock | phew | 21:15 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, now im moving again, shorter distance tho, a few hours away to NJ | 21:16 |
| LaserJock | my biggest problems is I own a house here, have pets and tons of junk, and 2 cars | 21:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, that makes life a bit more difficult | 21:16 |
| mdke | are you going to sell it? | 21:16 |
| LaserJock | not sure | 21:16 |
| mdke | guess it's not a great time | 21:16 |
| LaserJock | pretty much the worst | 21:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | where exactly are you now LaserJock ? | 21:16 |
| * mdke nods | 21:16 | |
| LaserJock | if we can rent it out for a year or something maybe we could sell then | 21:16 |
| LaserJock | Rocket2DMn: Reno | 21:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | cool | 21:17 |
| LaserJock | like the 2nd or 3rd works housing market | 21:17 |
| LaserJock | *worst | 21:17 |
| LaserJock | Nevada is teh worst! | 21:17 |
| LaserJock | my house lost almost 1/2 of it's value over the last year | 21:19 |
| Rocket2DMn | :( | 21:19 |
| mdke | woah | 21:20 |
| LaserJock | luckily I bought it before then | 21:20 |
| mdke | renting is probably worth it, as long as the numbers all work | 21:21 |
| mdke | I'm sure things will improve gradually | 21:21 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 21:21 |
| LaserJock | I just don't want it to get trashed in the mean time | 21:21 |
| LaserJock | I'd have to hire a manager | 21:21 |
| LaserJock | anyway | 21:22 |
| LaserJock | but yeah, having a job is nice :-) | 21:22 |
| LaserJock | I didn't think I'd find one | 21:22 |
| Rocket2DMn | +1 | 21:22 |
| LaserJock | but I have 2 unofficial offers right now | 21:22 |
| mdke | very cool | 21:23 |
| LaserJock | after the 1st of the year the chemistry jobs totally dried up | 21:24 |
| LaserJock | but luckily my area of chemistry is a bit less competitive I think | 21:24 |
| LaserJock | and the Air Force job required US citizenship which helps me out a lot | 21:24 |
| mdke | plus, you're good :) | 21:26 |
| LaserJock | heh | 21:27 |
| LaserJock | the bad part of the Air Force job is that they require using Windows on all computers | 21:27 |
| LaserJock | it's terrible in science that we're reduced to using such inferior software | 21:27 |
| Rocket2DMn | well, unfortunately it is the standard rather than the exception | 21:28 |
| mdke | we use Windows on all computers too | 21:28 |
| LaserJock | doing science work in Windows is pretty painful | 21:29 |
| LaserJock | I'm so spoiled having any programming and data analysis tools right at my fingertips | 21:29 |
| mdke | well, you'll have to convert them then | 21:33 |
| bencrisford | mdke: ping | 21:56 |
| mdke | bencrisford: (In case I'm not around at the moment, please provide a bit of information about what you want and I will respond when I get back) | 21:56 |
| bencrisford | mdke: I updated my .diff on Bug #210771 :) | 21:57 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 210771 in edubuntu-docs "School advocacy wrongly speaks about Scribus being Illustrator-like" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/210771 | 21:57 |
| bencrisford | its more conventional now I think :), and a little better with more included | 21:57 |
| mdke | bencrisford: good stuff, thanks | 22:57 |
| bencrisford | :) | 23:15 |
| bencrisford | I'm doing the documentation for spux project, I coded it in docbook, what would the contents of the script to run it be? | 23:36 |
| bencrisford | as simple as?: | 23:36 |
| bencrisford | yelp /path/to/docs | 23:36 |
| bencrisford | ? | 23:36 |
