=== Shane_Fagan1 is now known as Shane_Fagan [10:01] Im working on a bug in edubuntu-docs [10:02] is it still apt-get source edubuntu-docs, or is it different for documentation? [10:04] bencrisford: that works, but the more reliable way is to get the bzr branch [10:04] ok, and after its fixed do i upload it to the bug? [10:04] or is it different for docs? [10:04] mdke: ^ [10:04] :) [10:05] bencrisford: yes, uploading a patch to the bug is th best way [10:05] as a diff.gz? [10:05] no need to archive it [10:06] just diff? :) [10:06] unless it's huge [10:06] wont be [10:06] im replacing one word with another [10:06] right [10:06] the easiest bug there is :) [10:06] which is why im doing it, to teach myself packaging :) [10:07] it's a good way to practice making patches [10:08] could i fix it like this mdke: [10:08] sed -i 's/Illustrator/InDesign/g' path/to/appropriate/doc? [10:13] bencrisford: probably best to edit the file manually so that you can see the context for any words that you are changing [10:14] ok... ill give it a go ;), thanks mdke :) [10:17] mdke: Whats the bzr branch called? [10:17] for edubuntu-docs [10:22] bencrisford: see if you can get the info from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Repository [10:23] ok, i was looking for that but didnt fint it :) [10:23] ty [10:25] mdke: I'm having trouble :'(, could I not just do apt-get source? [10:25] bencrisford: no, that's not a good idea for any packages which use bzr for their sources [10:26] oh [10:26] 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 :) [10:27] i know for ubuntu [10:27] i did it for that with no problems [10:27] this is the error i got: [10:27] ben@ben-laptop:~/edubuntu_bzr$ bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/edubuntu-jaunty [10:27] Permission denied (publickey). [10:27] bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: please check connectivity and permissions [10:27] it's the same process for edubuntu [10:28] ok, you need to tell bzr your Launchpad username I think [10:28] do "bzr launchpad-login *your_username_here*" [10:28] ok [10:28] without the asterisks [10:29] same error :/ [10:29] do i need my lp password? [10:29] no, it authenticates using your ssh key [10:29] I guess you don't have your ssh key [10:29] i do [10:29] its on my lp profile [10:30] and is it on the computer you are using? [10:30] yeah [10:30] well, i got it from this computer [10:30] i dont know if its "on" it [10:30] should it be in .bashrc? [10:30] no, in ~/.ssh [10:32] (which is a directory) [10:32] Host *launchpad.net [10:32] User USERNAME [10:32] thats the contents of my config file [10:32] should i change it at all :/? [10:32] I don't know what file you are talking about [10:33] ~/.ssh/config [10:33] mdke: ^ [10:33] I don't have such a file [10:33] but what happens if you do "cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub" [10:34] cat: /home/ben/.ssh/id_dsa.pub: No such file or directory [10:34] i think i gave my id_dsa a different name [10:34] hmm [10:34] ls ~/.ssh [10:35] ben@ben-laptop:~$ ls ~/.ssh [10:35] config known_hosts [10:36] ok, your ssh key isn't there [10:36] so it can't authenticate with Launchpad [10:36] thats weird :/ [10:36] maybe its somewhere else [10:38] 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] I have to go now, back later [10:38] ok, bye [12:47] 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] but I don't know which files to upload [12:48] just the .diff? the .dsc? .tar.gz? [12:48] =S [12:48] or shall I just upload it as a patch to the bug? [12:48] (the diff ^) [13:41] mdke: Back yet? [13:41] :( === tim__sharitt is now known as tim_sharitt [19:56] anybody from ~ubuntu-core-doc over here? [20:00] We all write the core doc. You must mean a person with commit privileges ? [20:01] LaserJock: what do you need help with? [20:01] yeah, I need somebody with bzr commit access [20:01] I need the edubuntu bzr branch branched for Karmic [21:03] LaserJock: will do [21:03] mdke: unfortunately, with the new job I got, etc. I'm not going to be much involved with Edubuntu [21:04] mdke: sbalneav is the main doc guy with access right now for Edubuntu [21:04] LaserJock: congrats [21:04] but with the revitalization effort that's going on there seems to be a number of people interested in doc work [21:05] excellent [21:05] edubuntu-karmic pushed up [21:05] thanks [21:06] we'll be shortly moving it to an edubuntu-docs project, I don't know if you've followed that discussion [21:06] but obviously we'll update the wiki documentation for the project when that happens [21:06] ohh, is that moving forward? [21:06] yeah, just waiting on LP admins at the moment [21:08] what's the new job? [21:08] it's postdoc in the Space Vehicles Directorate at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Boston [21:09] chemistry stuff dealing with rocket/shuttle/satellite engines [21:09] holy cow [21:09] double congrats [21:10] I don't know if it really counts as rocket science [21:10] but it's a lot closer than I thought I'd ever get ;-) [21:10] sure it does :) [21:10] pleased to be moving? [21:11] rocket science \o/ [21:11] mdke: yes and no [21:11] mdke: it's gonna cost a lot to move and be a big hassle [21:11] mdke: but Boston sounds awesome [21:12] LaserJock, im in the middle of moving right now, i hear ya [21:12] yeah, I guess it's a long way to take all your stuff [21:14] 3k miles [21:15] pretty much literally across the US [21:15] I did the same thing last summer LaserJock , went from los angeles to near philadelphia [21:15] phew [21:16] yeah, now im moving again, shorter distance tho, a few hours away to NJ [21:16] my biggest problems is I own a house here, have pets and tons of junk, and 2 cars [21:16] yeah, that makes life a bit more difficult [21:16] are you going to sell it? [21:16] not sure [21:16] guess it's not a great time [21:16] pretty much the worst [21:16] where exactly are you now LaserJock ? [21:16] * mdke nods [21:16] if we can rent it out for a year or something maybe we could sell then [21:16] Rocket2DMn: Reno [21:17] cool [21:17] like the 2nd or 3rd works housing market [21:17] *worst [21:17] Nevada is teh worst! [21:19] my house lost almost 1/2 of it's value over the last year [21:19] :( [21:20] woah [21:20] luckily I bought it before then [21:21] renting is probably worth it, as long as the numbers all work [21:21] I'm sure things will improve gradually [21:21] yeah [21:21] I just don't want it to get trashed in the mean time [21:21] I'd have to hire a manager [21:22] anyway [21:22] but yeah, having a job is nice :-) [21:22] I didn't think I'd find one [21:22] +1 [21:22] but I have 2 unofficial offers right now [21:23] very cool [21:24] after the 1st of the year the chemistry jobs totally dried up [21:24] but luckily my area of chemistry is a bit less competitive I think [21:24] and the Air Force job required US citizenship which helps me out a lot [21:26] plus, you're good :) [21:27] heh [21:27] the bad part of the Air Force job is that they require using Windows on all computers [21:27] it's terrible in science that we're reduced to using such inferior software [21:28] well, unfortunately it is the standard rather than the exception [21:28] we use Windows on all computers too [21:29] doing science work in Windows is pretty painful [21:29] I'm so spoiled having any programming and data analysis tools right at my fingertips [21:33] well, you'll have to convert them then [21:56] mdke: ping [21:56] 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) [21:57] mdke: I updated my .diff on Bug #210771 :) [21:57] 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] its more conventional now I think :), and a little better with more included [22:57] bencrisford: good stuff, thanks [23:15] :) [23:36] 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] as simple as?: [23:36] yelp /path/to/docs [23:36] ?
