* humphreybc is hating on lynx02:21
sebsebsebhumphreybc: hating on lynx???02:30
humphreybcit's pretty ugly, lots of small bugs and stuff in the UI and theme02:32
sebsebsebhumphreybc: so your hateing lucid02:32
sebsebsebhumphreybc: themewise it sucks02:32
humphreybcwell, not that much. for example it's faster than karmic and it fixed my suspend resume issue02:32
sebsebsebhumphreybc: I don't even get  the new  boot up plymouth theme, not even in the daily build02:33
sebsebsebin vm02:33
sebsebsebhumphreybc: it's ashame that human has been removed :(02:33
sebsebsebat least clearlooks is still there though :)02:33
sebsebsebhumphreybc: in #ubuntu+1  I was given this link earlier http://ubuntu-pics.de/bild/45399/hello_kitty_3Jckg6.png02:34
humphreybclol02:34
sebsebsebhumphreybc: if GDM looked like that it would actsually be better.  Anyway what are they doing trying to make Ubuntu more girly?  Also  the new GDM theme and default background reminds me a bit of Hannah Montana OS based on Kubuntu.02:36
Red_HamsterXHello Kitty theme?! MUST DOWNLOAD!02:42
sebsebsebRed_HamsterX: no it's a joke edit of  new GDM, you'll see if you go on the link02:42

dakerhi11:16
ubuntujenkinshello11:16
dakerhow r u ?11:17
ubuntujenkinsgood thanks u?11:17
dakerfine fine :)11:18
dakerubuntujenkins, the problem with the countdown in IE is fixed ?11:53
TommyBrunndaker - what was the problem?11:54
ubuntujenkinsI will have a look I am in windows doing cad at the momet. I didn'nt knwo there was a problem11:55
dakeri dont know, i read it in the TODO list11:56
dakerCountdown timer thing on ubuntu-manual.org needs to be fixed to work in IE properly11:56
TommyBrunnOh, I think I know what it is.11:57
TommyBrunnCSS inconsistencies with margins in IE.11:57
TommyBrunnThe list probably looks weird in IE.11:57
ubuntujenkinsit does I am going to post a print screen11:57
ubuntujenkinshttp://imagebin.org/87753 is what it looks like in ie daker11:59
ubuntujenkinsI will be back in a minute going back to ubuntu11:59
TommyBrunnI would open up IE in Wine and check it out myself, but the last time I did that, IE ate up almost a gig of my ram.12:00
dakerTommyBrunn, hhh12:01
dakerso the problem is not the countdown, it's the list12:02
ubuntujenkinsRed_Hamster I am trying to move my screenshot stuff to one file but at the moment I have self.resolutionchange.hide() how do I make it call those form the quickshot file in the bin folder?12:57
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX ping ^^12:57
dakerTommyBrunn, i want to give help in website dev13:16
TommyBrunndaker - Feel free. It's all in the website/ directory. The countdown-page is in website/countdown/13:18
TommyBrunnThere are two versions of the main page13:18
TommyBrunnThe one directly in website/ and the one in website/wolter-remake/13:18
TommyBrunnI'm not sure which one were going with, but my vote goes to the wolter-remake.13:19
TommyBrunnAt this time I'm not sure what needs doing, but I'm sure there's a whole lost of IE-related bugs that you could work on if you know how to.13:20
TommyBrunn*host13:21
dakerthe website/ directory http://test.ubuntu-manual.org/share/pages/?13:22
TommyBrunnDo you have a local copy of the bazaar branch?13:23
dakerno13:23
TommyBrunnDo you have bazaar installed?13:23
dakeryep13:23
TommyBrunnAlright, then run bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual13:24
TommyBrunnThat will download the ubuntu-manual branch.13:24
TommyBrunnIn there is the website directory13:24
dakerbazar is gonna make me crasy :)13:25
TommyBrunnbazaar is great compared to any other version control system I've ever used. THOSE can drive you crazy.13:25
daker:)13:25
TommyBrunnHaving problems with your connection, ubuntujenkins?13:28
ubuntujenkinsyes I haev no clue why i ckeep getting disconnected automatically13:28
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn I have moved all of the screenresolution stuff to a file and imported it into the quickshot file "from quickshot import screenres" but from the screenres file how do I call gui windows?13:30
TommyBrunnYou can't and shouldn't.13:31
ubuntujenkinsI thought you would say that so should I leave it all in the maid file then?13:32
TommyBrunnHave you commited it to launchpad?13:32
ubuntujenkinsno not yet I can add it to my branch now if you like13:32
TommyBrunnYeah, do that. I need to see what it is you're doing to be able to give any good advice.13:33
ubuntujenkinsonce i fix the latest error :-)13:33
TommyBrunnAlright13:33
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn its in bzr branch lp:~quickshotdevs/quickshot/luke-quickshot It has changed so that more people can edit it13:37
TommyBrunnChecking it out now13:38
TommyBrunnls13:38
TommyBrunnOops13:39
ubuntujenkinsI find the quickest way to test is change the user in line 127 to my user name and comment out lines 224 22713:40
ubuntujenkinsthnaks13:40
dutchieheh, tried to click the close button in a screenshot13:40
dutchie(it didn't work)13:40
TommyBrunnWhere's the screenres module? I can't seem to find it?13:40
TommyBrunnI don't think this has been updated. Because there's no import statement either.13:40
ubuntujenkinshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/389598/ is what the screenres module contains but uploading it will break my branch13:42
TommyBrunnYeah, because it isn't indented properly.13:42
dutchieactually, it could be indented properly13:43
dutchieit's hard to tell13:43
dutchiehttp://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/13:43
ubuntujenkinsI don't think there is an indentation error it works fine but stops when it reaches a window call. I am backing a broken branch so you can see the file its self13:43
TommyBrunnI've spotted a bunch of indentation errors already, one of them being right next to a window call.13:46
TommyBrunnEvery indentation level needs to be 4 spaces.13:46
TommyBrunnThat's what denotes a block.13:46
ubuntujenkinsbzr branch lp:~quickshotdevs/quickshot/luke-broken13:47
TommyBrunnYou could indent it differently, but it has to be consistent throughout the document.13:47
ubuntujenkinswhich lines?13:47
TommyBrunn262 and 285 are the ones I remember right now.13:47
TommyBrunnAnd pretty much the entire on_ok_changeres method13:48
ubuntujenkinsdon't worry once this stuff works I am stopping doing python13:48
dakerTommyBrunn,13:48
dakerdaker@daker-laptop:~$ sudo bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual13:48
dakerPermission denied (publickey).13:48
dakerbzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.13:48
ubuntujenkinsyou need to add a key to you launchpad use dake13:49
ubuntujenkins*user13:49
TommyBrunnYou need to be authenticated to branch it? I didn't know that.13:49
dutchiebzr works over ssh, so you need a key13:49
TommyBrunnAh, of course.13:49
dakerhere is13:50
dakerhttps://launchpad.net/~adnane002/+sshkeys13:50
ubuntujenkinsstrange have you got the matching one in your .ssh folder?13:51
ubuntujenkinsof the pair that is13:51
dakeri dont know13:52
TommyBrunnubuntujenkins, in the detectgraphics method, could you walk me through how the if statements are supposed to work?13:52
TommyBrunnIt checks for i915, nouveau and pcieport. If that's true, it opens a subprocess of xrandr. Should the following if statement only be evaluated if the former condition is true, or should it be evaluated either way?13:53
c7phello everyone i don't know if i will be present on the today's meeting so i have a question. When will the next important update be made on launchpad ?13:53
ubuntujenkinsonly if the former is true13:53
TommyBrunnOk, so the elif statement belongs to the first if statement, not the second?13:53
ubuntujenkinsyes13:54
TommyBrunnAlright. Then I understand.13:54
ubuntujenkinsc7p what do you mean by next important update?13:54
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn I just need to get the silly timeout bit working so we can get people testing and then it can make main and I can go back to not writing any python13:55
TommyBrunnI pushed a version with fixed indentation. I haven't tested anything though, so I have no idea if anything changed.13:56
TommyBrunnWhich is the silly timeout bit?13:57
c7pby important update i mean the insertion of many strings and also the revision of some strings13:57
ronald_hello, what time is the meeting?14:05
dutchienow + 6 hours14:06
ubuntujenkinssorry I have missed the last 5 minutes of caht my uni internet is failing today14:06
TommyBrunn(02:56:52 PM) TommyBrunn: I pushed a version with fixed indentation. I haven't tested anything though, so I have no idea if anything changed.14:06
TommyBrunn(02:57:01 PM) TommyBrunn: Which is the silly timeout bit?14:06
ubuntujenkinsok which branch? The time out bit that will show in the self.resolutionsuccess.show() window label 19. counting down from 15 to 0. and if it reaches 0 before the user presses the next buton they are loged out14:06
TommyBrunnluke-quickshot14:06
ubuntujenkinscool I will get it now14:07
ubuntujenkinssome stuff is there from line 282 but I can't get it working I had allot of help from people as usua14:07
ronald_dutchie confirm 10 pm Zimbabwean time14:08
* dutchie is unsure what zimbabwean time is14:08
dutchieUTC+2?14:08
ronald_GMT +214:09
dutchieyes then14:09
TommyBrunnAlright, ubuntujenkins, I'll have a look at it. Is there anything I need to change in order to be able to test your branch out? Like directory names or anything?14:09
ronald_thanks, looking forward to be part of the meeting14:09
dutchieUTC==GMT for all intents and purposes14:09
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn no as long as you do quickly run -r the  first tme you will be fine it is all set to point at my branch14:10
TommyBrunnAlright, goodie.14:10
ubuntujenkinsyour resolution should change btw14:11
dakerthe website will be Multi-Languages or not ?14:12
godbykdaker: Hopefully it'll be multilingual, yeah.14:13
dakeroki14:14
dakerTommyBrunn, i got the branch14:15
TommyBrunnAlright, daker. What were you planning to work on: the countdown page or the main website?14:16
dakerthe main website14:16
TommyBrunnAlright. Then I think you should probably ask someone who actually knows what's going on, which one of the two versions you should be working on. Whom that would be, I can't really say. Benjamin is a safe bet, but he doesn't seem to be here (as it is currently 3am where he lives).14:17
TommyBrunnWhat's your level of web design/development experience?14:18
dakerweb design we can say 6/10 developement 8/1014:20
dakerTommyBrunn, ?14:23
TommyBrunnHeh, that's not very detailed, I'm afraid. Anyway, how's your experience dealing with Internet Explorer related CSS quirks?14:24
TommyBrunnOh, and I'm going to disappear for a bit. I'm going to try Ubuntujenkins' code.14:25
ubuntujenkinscool thanks TommyBrunn14:25
dakerTommyBrunn, one question, the top image doesnt appear in FF and opera, it's work in Chrome14:37
TommyBrunnHuh? What are you talking about? In which version and which page?14:38
dakerthe countdown version14:38
TommyBrunnThat's very odd, because it works just fine for me in both Firefox and Epiphany.14:40
dakeri can give you screen14:41
TommyBrunnSure.14:42
komsasgodbyk: can you look to this error, I can't to make manual LT version. http://paste.ubuntu.com/389625/14:43
godbykkomsas: Sure, lemme look.14:43
godbykHmm.. weird.14:43
godbykLemme try.14:43
godbykkomsas: there's a bug in the main (English) translation.14:45
godbyklemme fix it real quick.14:45
komsasgodbyk: thank u :)14:46
TommyBrunnubuntujenkins - Do you remember how to make the user log out (or if you can revert back to the old resolution, that would be best)?14:49
TommyBrunnI think I've got the countdown working now.14:49
dakerTommyBrunn, http://imagebin.org/8776614:49
TommyBrunnWhat is the image you can't see?14:50
TommyBrunnOh, I see!14:50
TommyBrunnThe top margin seems to be missing14:50
dakeryeah14:50
dakerboth in FF and Opera14:50
godbykkomsas: okay, a lot of bugs.  still fixing 'em..14:51
TommyBrunnI suspect it has something to do with your resolution. What resolution do you currently have set?14:51
daker1024x76814:51
dakerscreen 15'414:52
dakerlaptop14:52
komsasgodbyk: gl, say when I can push..14:52
TommyBrunnWow, that's low. But it does explain why it occurs.14:52
* komsas pull *14:52
godbykkomsas: I just pushed.14:53
TommyBrunnSee, it's very difficult to align something vertically consistently over several browsers. The technique I've used is to first align it to 50% of the user's viewport, which in your case I'm guessing is around 300px. But as it aligns it by the top, that would put all the content very low. So in order to properly align it, a negative top-margin is added - about half the height of the content.14:54
TommyBrunnSo if the content box is 600px high, the top-margin would be set to -30014:54
TommyBrunnThat would effectively put the box smack dab in the middle.14:54
TommyBrunnIn our case the top margin is -325px14:55
TommyBrunnWhich puts the very top of our website slightly outside of your viewport.14:55
TommyBrunnMy guess is that Chrome probably auto-expands the viewport to accomodate for this content.14:55
dakerTommyBrunn, i'll work on the countdown14:56
dakeroki ?14:56
TommyBrunnSure thing. What were you planning to do?14:56
TommyBrunnThere is an IE bug with the list that I would very much appreciate it if you could have a look at.14:56
dakeroki14:56
TommyBrunnOpen it up in Internet Explorer 6-8 and you'll see what the problem is.14:57
dakeroki14:57
dakersecond thing i'll fix the bugg with margins14:57
TommyBrunnThe top margin?14:57
dakeryea14:57
dakerh14:57
TommyBrunnThe only way to "fix" it is to set it to a static margin.14:57
TommyBrunnWhich is probably fine, seeing as how it takes up most of anyone's viewport (vertically) anyway.14:58
dakeroki14:58
TommyBrunnSimply remove the top margin and change the value of "top" in the .center class (line 71) to 100px or so.14:58
dakeroki14:59
komsasgodbyk: now ok ;) do you got and read my lithuanian latex description, it fit your needs?14:59
godbykkomsas: I haven't seen it. Where's it at?15:00
komsasI send it to you 2 weaks ago.15:00
godbykAh, let me look.15:00
godbykkomsas: Yeah, I did get it. Let me see if I've done anything with it yet. :-)15:01
godbyk(So many translations!)15:01
godbykNope, haven't done anything with it yet.15:02
godbykLet me plug that in real quick and see what I can screw up. ;-)15:02
komsaswhen you have a time, i see it will be required in the end of this project. :)15:04
TommyBrunnAre you there, ubuntujenkins?15:06
TommyBrunnOh, it seems he isn't.15:06
godbykHey, komsas.. are Roman numerals okay for part numbers?  (Such as: Part I: Getting Started  and  Part II: Advanced.)15:15
komsasgodbyk: yes, we use them :)15:16
godbykkomsas: Cool. Makes my life easier. :-)15:16
komsashehe :)15:17
godbykFor the "To:" translation, what does your email program use?15:17
godbykWhere it has, To: godbyk, From: komsas, Subject: translations.15:17
komsaswhen we writting leter, in field To: is written "Kam"15:19
godbykOkay.15:20
dakergodbyk, question15:22
komsasbut in that link (in letter) where is written "To", they don't translate it. I think it done with the idea.15:22
dakeri can make changes on the code of the countdown version or i have to correct the buggs only15:23
godbykkomsas: I just emailed you a test PDF with the Lithuanian translations. Can you look over it to make sure everything's okay?15:24
godbykdaker: What changes would you like to make?15:25
* komsas going to look..15:25
ubuntujenkinshello I am back what have i missed since 14.35? I have had to go to a lab to get a connection15:26
dakeri would to remove the "dl" "dd" and "dt" and i want to use "div"15:26
godbykdaker: Sure, go for it!  It's not a real definition list anyway.15:27
dakeroki15:27
dakertanks15:27
godbykdaker: You should test all of the countdown code locally before you push though, as that site gets updated automatically every 30 minutes. :)15:27
dakeroki15:27
dutchiegodbyk: you like living on the edge15:27
godbykdutchie: heh.. I'm just too lazy to update it manually. :)15:28
ubuntujenkinsIf i can't make the meeting due to lack of internet can some one please send my apoligies15:29
komsasgodbyk: it's my mistake (sorry), first letter of all months must be lower case. Traslations okey.15:36
godbykkomsas: Okay, I can fix that real quick.15:37
godbykkomsas: I sent you an updated version.15:38
godbykkomsas: Also, did I get your name and email address correct in the first line of the LDF file?15:39
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn sory my internet died I have gone to a lab to get connection. To restore the users previous resolution would be way to hard but to log them out use "gnome-session-save --kill --silent" we may have to add a button to skip automatic resolution change15:40
komsasgodbyk: updated version - okey, my name ad email correct :)15:41
TommyBrunnubuntujenkins the problem with the countdown seems harder than I first anticipated. I had no problem implementing it in just an interactive terminal, but it just refuses to work when I try it live in Quickshot.15:42
TommyBrunnWe might just have to skip displaying the seconds to the user, and simply say: "If you don't press 'next' in 15 seconds, you will be logged out" and then just log them out if they don't do anything in 15 seconds.15:44
TommyBrunnMy problem is getting the window to update the number.15:44
ubuntujenkinswe may have to.15:44
ubuntujenkinsI am just looking at your changes15:45
godbykkomsas: I've pushed the LDF. If you compile the ubuntu-manual-lt.pdf again, it should have Lithuanian names for the table of contents, chapter cross-references, index, etc.15:45
godbykkomsas: Let me know if you notice any problems.15:45
komsasoh, nice I'm going to try :) thanks15:45
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn I have spotted an error that means the quickshot user isn't automatically updating the branch15:46
TommyBrunnReally? Where?15:46
ubuntujenkinsline 172 should read os.system('cd /home/quickshot/quickshot && bzr pull lp:~quickshotdevs/quickshot/quickshot/luke-quickshot')15:47
TommyBrunnOh yeah, you're right.15:48
dakerTommyBrunn, i solved the problem with the margin, it works on FF opera Chrome and IE15:48
TommyBrunndaker; great. What did you do?15:49
ubuntujenkinsmy fault I missed it when I made the permisson change on the branch15:49
dakertested with IE815:49
TommyBrunnDo you mean the margin problem with the top not being shown at low resolutions, or the problem with the list?15:49
dakerthe margin problem with the top not being shown at low resolutions15:50
TommyBrunnAnd what changes did you make to the .center class?15:50
daker.center {15:50
daker   width: 430px;15:50
daker   height: auto;15:50
daker   /*position: absolute;15:50
daker   left: 50%;15:50
daker   top: 50%;15:50
daker   margin-left: -215px;15:50
daker   margin-top: -325px;*/15:50
daker   margin: -100px auto;15:50
daker   background-image: url(middlebg.png);15:50
daker}15:50
TommyBrunnubuntujenkins can you fix the update problem and push to your branch?15:51
dakerand in you should remove the comment on the top of index.html15:51
TommyBrunndaker I'm afraid that's not the right way to go about it.15:51
ubuntujenkinssure  will do so now15:51
dakerTommyBrunn, why15:51
TommyBrunnBecause you're just adding one margin onto another.15:52
TommyBrunndaker you're right about the margin though. Geany put that in there automatically, and I didn't think of removing it.15:52
TommyBrunn*comment15:54
TommyBrunnNot margin15:54
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn I have made the change15:55
TommyBrunnGreat.15:55
dakeri tested on my desktop (17')and it's work fine15:55
TommyBrunndaker Try doing a bzr pull now.15:55
TommyBrunnHow big your screen is doesn't matter.15:55
TommyBrunnIt's the resolution that matters.15:55
TommyBrunnEither way, I remove the top margin and changed the value of the absolute positioning instead.15:56
TommyBrunnNow it should work just fine.15:56
dakerhow can i pull it ?15:58
komsassomone know where to mark mistakes in ubuntu manual content, like ``Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer' this string is changed in bootloader to "Try Ubuntu without installing" ?15:58
komsashttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual ?15:59
TommyBrunndaker: you go to the ubuntu-manual directory and run bzr pull15:59
komsasgodbyk or dutchie ?15:59
dakerTommyBrunn, oki16:00
godbykkomsas: I'm here.16:00
komsasdo you know something about my question?16:00
dutchiekomsas: change it yourself :)16:00
dutchiethis is open source16:00
godbykkomsas: You can either edit the file yourself or file a bug.16:00
komsasoh, one of best solutions :)16:00
dakerTommyBrunn, done16:01
TommyBrunnAlright. Now try that and see how it looks.16:01
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn if you type self.count -= 1 in line 234 instead of the line thats there, the window updates the count but it only shows when it reaches 016:01
TommyBrunnOh f*ck, of course it should be self.count. That was dumb of me. xD16:02
komsasdutchie: I will try to configure bzr, now I can't to push.16:02
komsasthanks16:02
ubuntujenkins_ladon't worry16:02
TommyBrunnBut yeah, I figured it wouldn't actually update the GUI until it broke out of the loop.16:02
ubuntujenkins_lawhich is anoying16:03
TommyBrunnThe only way I know you can solve it is by running a separate thread for the countdown - and I'm certainly not opening that can of worms.16:03
ubuntujenkins_larickspencer3 in #ubuntu-app-devel helped me with the original stuff that was there but he isn't arounf16:04
TommyBrunnI'm off to make dinner.16:07
TommyBrunnBye all!16:07
ubuntujenkins_laok thanks for your help see you in abit16:07
TommyBrunnubuntujenkins_la I just had an idea. You could try using a the current time, rather than time.sleep()16:18
TommyBrunnSomething like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/389683/16:18
* TommyBrunn goes back to the kitchen16:18
* ubuntujenkins tries Tommy's suggestion16:27
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn no difference i am afraid the window shows at the end and says remaning 1.0728836059e-05 lol16:29
TommyBrunnHaha, that's what I figured. There is a method in the time module that's called timer. I know that runs in another thread, and it might be easier to use. You might want to look into that.16:34
ubuntujenkinscool I will look when I have finished desgining this frame16:34
* daker is listening to: David Guetta feat. Kid Kudi - Memories - Enjoystation16:36
ubuntujenkins_laI am off back home apparently the internet is back16:53

nisshhgood turnout this time too20:06
humphreybci think he'll show up at some point20:06
Rudi-sweet20:06
humphreybc#startmeeting20:06
MootBotMeeting started at 14:06. The chair is humphreybc.20:06
MootBotCommands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]20:06
humphreybchehehe20:06
nisshhhehe good timing20:06
humphreybchey jaminday1 we just started20:07
Rudi-200t20:07
jaminday1excellent. Just woke up20:07
humphreybcso, first thing is a progress report. this is basically "how are we doing?"20:07
nisshhshould we go by chapter?20:07
humphreybcyep20:07
Rudi-I guess20:07
humphreybcthat sounds like a good idea20:07
humphreybcoh does anyone want to take notes?20:07
dutchiehumphreybc: isn't that what MootBot is for20:08
humphreybctrue20:08
humphreybcokay i'll utilize him more :)20:08
humphreybc[TOPIC] Progress report by chapter20:08
MootBotNew Topic:  Progress report by chapter20:08
humphreybcso, prologue20:08
dutchiehumphreybc: all IRC bots are female ;)20:08
humphreybcoh yeah, oops, forgot :)20:08
dutchieOK, let's get on with it then20:09
dutchiewho's on the prologue?20:09
humphreybcprologue.. well, i think i've done about 90% of it. all that's missing is a key to commands20:09
humphreybcyours truly :)20:09
dutchiecould that sort of thing be automated?20:09
jaminday1And editing needs another once or twice over from me20:09
humphreybcgodbyk?20:09
dutchieactually, it doesn't need to be20:09
godbykWhat key?20:09
humphreybcwe just need a small list of what this formatting means, what this formatting means, etc20:09
dutchie"A shell prompt looks like this:"20:10
dutchieetc20:10
godbykAh, gotcha. Yeah, I can do that.20:10
humphreybcneat :)20:10
humphreybcprobably just stick it at the end of the prologue20:10
godbykIt's called 'nomenclature'. :)20:10
humphreybcwell well don't get all fancy on us!20:10
nisshhhehe20:10
humphreybcokay so that's all good for chap 1?20:11
Rudi-its late here:P please don't use too many big words!20:11
humphreybcwait20:11
humphreybcprologue20:11
* humphreybc only woke up 8 mins ago, please be kind :)20:11
* semioticrobotic laughs20:11
humphreybcnow, chapter 1. installation. i'm writing that, got most of it finished bar the partitioning20:11
* nisshh says its 4am for him so dont have a sad20:11
* Rudi- pats humpherybc20:12
humphreybcnisshh: boo!20:12
humphreybcso I think Rudi is going to work on the partitioning?20:12
Rudi-I think I am responsible for the partitioning20:12
nisshhsorry couldnt resist20:12
Rudi-yea, ok20:12
Rudi-i'll write that section20:12
Rudi-:)20:12
humphreybcsweet20:12
humphreybcit just needs to be really easy to understand so they don't go and overwrite their vista parition if they want to dual boot...20:12
jaminday1Is Parry here?20:12
humphreybcthere are some screenshots of the partitioning bit in lucid-screens20:13
EllOn chapter 1 would it be better to have the 32 bit or 64 bit section from chapter 9 into chapter 1 as new users who dont know which bit to pick at the start can be confusing and its right down at chapter 9 at the current time20:13
humphreybcjaminday1: i don't think so20:13
Rudi-ok cool, I'll do it basic like.20:13
jaminday1Parry is allocated editor for chapter 1 but haven't heard from him for a while20:13
humphreybcEll: that's a good point20:13
humphreybcwhat do we think?20:13
Rudi-I'll add in a bit of RED DANGER! Do not edit your partitions if you are not 99% sure of what you are doing?20:13
humphreybcmaybe a quick margin note explaining 64/32?20:14
humphreybcand then to see more go to chap 9?20:14
dutchieRudi-: 100% surely20:14
jaminday1humphreybc: agreed20:14
dutchieor 99%, with backups20:14
humphreybcRudi: yep, danger danger danger!20:14
semioticroboticsure, but the explanation in chapter 9 is already sparse as it is :)20:14
humphreybcokay so we need to improve the explanation in chap 920:14
humphreybcbtw everyone join this: http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/aA6ygCXL9F20:15
semioticroboticof course, having 32/64 stuff up front might give us an excuse to add more detail in that area to chap 920:15
Ellyes agreed20:15
humphreybcwe need to add this stuff as we go20:15
Rudi-dutchie, ok i'll make it 100%, but I was never 100% sure when I first started out, will mention backing up NB data and what not20:15
dutchiedefinitely mention backups20:15
humphreybccool20:16
humphreybcso apart from that, anyone else have any feedback on the installation chapter?20:16
Rudi-dutchie, will do so20:16
Rudi-humpherybc, i had a look at it, its pretty well done20:16
* humphreybc 's lucid mouse pointer keeps changing back to crappy DMZ instead of whiteglass and it's so annoying20:16
humphreybccool20:17
humphreybcwell, moving on?20:17
mattatk_do we still need some screenshots, or are those yet to be added?20:17
humphreybcchapter 220:17
humphreybcmattatk_: those are yet to be added, but there are some test shots in lucid-screens in the branch20:18
humphreybcso, around your desktop20:18
nisshhhey ilya20:18
Rudi-Should all the screenies be the same size and resolution?20:18
jaminday1IlyaHaykinson: hi20:18
humphreybci think 41 people in the room is a record!20:18
* semioticrobotic cheers20:18
humphreybcRudi-: yep they will be, that's the job for the quickshot peeps :)20:18
IlyaHaykinsonhi folks. my kid is sick, so i will be in and out of the chat.20:19
ubuntujenkinsRudi- quicksshot is at the end20:19
Rudi-humpherybc, ok cool20:19
humphreybcah, such a burden, them kids20:19
humphreybcokay so alistair munro bailed on us, tom is still around but pretty busy with his job20:19
humphreybcBen VB is apparently editing it according to the wiki?20:19
jaminday1yes I think he is still active20:20
humphreybcokay20:20
jaminday1sometimes i don't hear anything for a while but they are still working away20:20
humphreybcso content wise, how complete do we think it is?20:20
Rudi-the whole thing? or just chapter 2?20:20
humphreybcchapter 220:20
Rudi-hmm20:21
jaminday1sorry i'm having issues pulling the branch onto my laptop so i can't open any content at the moment20:21
humphreybcyeah me too20:21
EllI think it looks pretty good, it just needs general editing though, like the recent bugs with window buttons going from right to left etc20:22
humphreybci don't think i set bzr up properly again after reinstalling lucid20:22
nisshhmeh ssh key?20:22
humphreybcyeah i've copied that across20:22
humphreybcsort of works20:22
Elland Nautilus File Browser gets called just "File Browser" in ubuntu20:22
nisshhdoes it give an error?20:22
humphreybcEll: hmm, okay. I think the controls won't stay on the left20:22
ubuntujenkinsChapter 3?20:22
Ellokay good aswell then20:23
humphreybcso chapter 2 just needs some touch ups20:23
godbykWe should probably add a screenshot of the full desktop to show where the panels, menus, etc. are.20:23
Rudi-godbyk, good idea20:23
jaminday1And i need to confirm whether BenVB is still with us as editor20:23
mattatk_the software center may deserve its own screenshot as well20:23
humphreybcyep, it will20:23
godbykSo if someone wants to, they can add more \screenshotTODO's to the chapter.20:24
humphreybcso feel free to edit the to do list to add some of these things guys20:24
godbyk(Or anywhere else you think one is required, for the matter.)20:24
humphreybcwe have a soft limit of about 50 screenshots in total for the manual20:24
jaminday1humphreybc: how many we up to now?20:25
Rudi-is that to keep the size down?20:25
semioticroboticprobably a good idea, if we're concerned with overall size20:25
nisshhi think the manual is already massive without them too20:25
humphreybcfor two reasons, 1. size and 2. x 47 languages = over 200020:25
nisshharound 17mb i think currently20:25
humphreybc17mb for the PDF?20:25
Rudi-Agreed, 2000 different screenshots could become nightmarish20:25
semioticroboticplus, if we're serious about getting the manual included in L+1 by default, we're going to need a slim file20:25
dutchiehow much can the pdf be optimised for size?20:25
nisshhno the bzr branch20:26
ubuntujenkinspdf is at 1.1mb for me20:26
humphreybcoh yeah the bzr branch is huge cos it has a whole heap of PSD files for the website and stuff20:26
godbykThere are 34 \screenshotTODOs so far.20:26
humphreybcnisshh: i'm getting a could not acquire lock bzr error when trying to pull20:26
Rudi-Hmm, thats quite low20:26
godbykThe main (English) pdf is 1.2 MB right now (sans screenshots).20:26
humphreybcyeah but if we want inclusion on the CD we have to aim for <2mb20:27
jaminday1godbyk: ok so there is a bit of wiggle room for adding more but not much. Someone probably needs to go through and cull some existing ones as well if they aren't necessary20:27
nisshhhumphreybc: thats a common error, try deleting your local branch and re-getting the branch20:27
godbykjaminday1: That's the PDF without the screenshots. Adding screenshots will increase the size a bit.20:28
humphreybckk20:28
jaminday1Wow doesn't seem much chance of keeping it under 2mb then?20:28
humphreybci guess we'll just have to see how it turns out. we're going to have to be really stringent on what screenshots we decide on20:28
semioticroboticI doubt it :-/20:29
semioticroboticwhy the 2mb limit?  did we get that number from someone?20:29
Rudi-thats what I want to know as well20:29
humphreybcnope, i just made it up20:29
humphreybc:)20:29
Rudi-haha20:29
dutchie2.5 is the new arbritary limit then :)20:29
semioticroboticha!  okay then.  jsut wondering20:29
humphreybcpitivi is like 300kb and even that was a sell to get on the CD20:29
nisshhjust means we really have to keep it small for the cd20:29
humphreybci was thinking20:30
humphreybcwe could split up the two halves for the CF20:30
humphreybcCD*20:30
humphreybcand just include the first half20:30
Rudi-hmmm20:30
humphreybcif they get picky about size20:30
Rudi-sound like a good idea20:30
Rudi-*sounds20:30
nisshhwhat and second half web based?20:30
ubuntuhi there guys. I'm translating ubuntu manual, and this string just come up: https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/main/+pots/ubuntu-manual/pt/140/+translate20:30
semioticroboticmaybe a link in the manual to download the advanced topics.20:30
jaminday1humphreybc: i think let's just finish it first then see how big it is and decide from there....20:30
humphreybcyeah, good idea20:31
ubuntushould i translate it or pass it?20:31
humphreybcjust something to think about20:31
* nisshh agrees with jaminday20:31
Rudi-[AGREED]20:31
=== ubuntu is now known as danyR
* Rudi- agrees with nisshh and jaminday20:31
humphreybcdutchie, could you help danyR?20:31
humphreybcokay so moving on20:31
dutchiedanyR: we're in a meeting now, can I PM?20:31
humphreybcdefault applications20:31
danyRdutchie: yeah :)20:31
humphreybci think this chapter is rockin'20:32
ubuntujenkinsI have gwibber to write now it works20:32
jaminday1yeah it's massive so far!20:32
semioticroboticI agree.  Great looking chapter20:32
ubuntujenkinsmattgriffin is doing ubuntu one and rythambox20:32
humphreybcokay cool20:32
humphreybcso nothing wrong with it then :)20:32
humphreybcchapter 4, prefs/hardware20:32
Rudi-nope20:32
IlyaHaykinsonwell on chapter 320:32
ubuntujenkinsI have quickscan and Brasero to do20:33
dutchiemusic store?20:33
IlyaHaykinsonwe are not going to include Open Office20:33
Rudi-I've started writing some stuff for it, (chap 4)20:33
dutchieis that covered?20:33
mattgriffin_mattgriffin has music store covered20:33
ubuntujenkinsdutchie mattgriffin_ is doing that I think20:33
IlyaHaykinsonRudi -- one comment basd on some checkins that i've seen...20:33
=== mattgriffin_ is now known as mattgriffin
IlyaHaykinsonyou may want to dumb it down a LOT20:33
IlyaHaykinsoni.e. somewhere you included command line stuff20:33
IlyaHaykinsonassume that the person is a total noob20:33
humphreybcoh yeah, everyone, no command line stuff before the advanced part20:33
IlyaHaykinsonand even after the command line section, still very little if possible20:34
jaminday1Yeah we want to stick totally GUI in first half20:34
Rudi-Oki doki, I'll go through it again20:34
godbykThe title for chapter 3 always seems weird to me. I don't know what 'default applications' are.  Shouldn't we just call it Applications or Pre-installed Applications?  'Default' is kinda techy.20:34
ubuntujenkinsI haev a bit for vatching dvds20:34
semioticroboticgotcha20:34
mattatk_echo 'ok'20:34
IlyaHaykinsongodbyk: good point. i would rename as well20:34
humphreybcIlyaHaykinson: yes, let's change it20:34
IlyaHaykinsonbut I wouldn't rename to "Applications"20:34
EllYes agree20:34
semioticroboticnice point20:34
IlyaHaykinsonbut more like "Working with Ubuntu"20:34
IlyaHaykinsonor soemthing more use-case driven20:34
godbykIlyaHaykinson: Yeah, just something friendlier but that still gives someone an idea of what's in the chapter.20:34
ubuntujenkinsI have a command line part for watching dvds to install libdvdcss or what ever it is20:34
IlyaHaykinsonpeople don't care that there's firefox and there's gwibber. they care that they can browse the web and update their twitter status20:35
godbyk"Working with Ubuntu" may be too generic.20:35
humphreybctotally20:35
humphreybcwell we don't want it sounding too cheesy20:35
IlyaHaykinsonwell, i really don't think that anyone cares even a little bit that there are such things as applications in the world20:35
jaminday1What abouyt "Using PRograms"20:35
sebsebsebhumphreybc: don't want what sounding cheesy?  I just joined20:35
IlyaHaykinsoni don't know if people even think there's a common name for programs20:35
semioticrobotic"Using Ubuntu Applications"?20:35
humphreybcsebsebseb: title for chapter 320:35
sebsebsebhumphreybc: the manual should mention how to get the icons back on the right20:36
humphreybcsebsebseb: lol, don't worry20:36
sebsebsebhumphreybc: maybe even how to enable the icons that are missing in system menu as well :)20:36
godbyksebsebseb: I think the icons default to the right, still.20:36
sebsebsebgodbyk: no20:36
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk they are not20:36
humphreybcgodbyk, nah they don't but they're not going to keep it that way20:36
humphreybc!ot20:36
semioticroboticicons are going back to the right?20:36
manualbotBest to keep this channel mainly on topic!20:36
semioticroboticoops20:37
IlyaHaykinsonhang on, let me check how Windows handled this.20:37
godbykFair enough. Fill me in afterward. :)20:37
* semioticrobotic blushes20:37
sebsebsebhumphreybc: You can complain as much as you like and other people, but they willl probably still keep them on the left, and in an odd order.20:37
humphreybcIlyaHaykinson: totally go and check out the windows 98 manual :D20:37
IlyaHaykinsonWindows 95 :)20:37
humphreybchaha20:37
Rudi-windows 3.120:37
humphreybceven worse xD20:37
Rudi-:D20:37
sebsebsebhumphreybc: If your going to complain make sure it's on Launchpad and the correct place.20:37
nisshhhehe20:37
semioticroboticI have a Win 3.1 manual right here20:37
humphreybci like it how we're going off a windows 95 manual20:37
IlyaHaykinsonchapter titles are: "Welcome", "The Basics", "Beyond the Basics", "Introducing Networks", "The Possibilities", "Appendixes"20:37
humphreybccos that's the way to do it...20:37
Rudi-awesome :)20:37
nisshhdont make me puke with disgust on my win 3.1 cd...please20:37
IlyaHaykinsonwell, MS certainly did a lot more research on good tech writing than we did :)20:38
* semioticrobotic laughs20:38
dutchie"Appendixes"?20:38
IlyaHaykinsoneven in those days20:38
IlyaHaykinsonyup.20:38
jaminday1hehe20:38
IlyaHaykinsonso, er, i would still go for "Working with Ubuntu"20:38
godbykdutchie: No one uses proper Latin endings anymore. :(20:38
humphreybcokay okay20:38
Rudi-Why don't we use "The Basics"? as a title/20:38
Rudi-?20:38
dutchiegodbyk: :(20:38
mattatk_or how about just "Ubuntu Applications"?20:38
humphreybcwell the basics would really be chapter 220:38
godbykAs long as I'm complaining about titles, I think Part 1 (Start Here) should be renamed to "Getting Started".20:39
humphreybcand then "beyond the basics" would be chapter 320:39
sebsebsebhumphreybc: The channel number has gone up quite a bit since I was last in here, why because there's some sort of meeting going on at the moment?20:39
jaminday1I like "Working with Ubuntu"20:39
godbykSo that's it's not an imperative statement.20:39
ubuntujenkinssebsebseb yes20:39
humphreybcgodbyk yeah you can just go and change that now20:39
humphreybcsebsebseb: yes, there is a meeting20:39
dutchieno, don't change anything, it'll screw up my commits20:39
dutchie:(20:39
humphreybchahah20:39
semioticrobotichahaha20:39
godbykdutchie: no worries. I'll do it later.20:39
humphreybcokay well, wait for josh, and then change it20:39
jaminday1godbyk: yeah i agree20:39
humphreybcalright we're going to have to move on20:39
Rudi-chap4?20:40
humphreybcbecause we're 40 mins through the meeting and still on the first damn agenda thing20:40
humphreybcstick the names on the to do list, we'll have a think about them and change them later today or tomorrow20:40
godbykdid we settle on a title for chap3 or deal with it later?20:40
godbykokay20:40
jaminday1godbyk: decide later20:40
sebsebsebubuntujenkins:  humphreybc ok20:40
humphreybcsebsebseb: meeting agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Meetings20:41
humphreybcokay so chap 420:41
humphreybcwho's writing this now?20:41
sebsebsebhumphreybc: hrm ok20:41
nisshhno idea20:41
Rudi-I don't know?20:41
humphreybccute20:41
Rudi-I had a look at it earlier today20:41
godbykI'm not sure who's been writing chapter 4 lately, but they should brush up on some LaTeX.  They can email me if they need a tutorial.20:41
Rudi-and its empty20:41
Rudi-godbyk20:42
humphreybcwiki says deon spengler but he disappeared ages ago20:42
Rudi-its prob me20:42
godbyk(I had to edit a bunch of LateX-related bugs in ch4 earlier today).20:42
Rudi-i dont have latex20:42
humphreybcgodbyk, yeah i saw that20:42
Rudi-just gedit20:42
humphreybcRudi-: i have gedit too20:42
ubuntujenkinsI am doing some chapter 420:42
Rudi-and I don't have the bandwidth to download it20:42
godbykRudi-: Ah, 'kay. Hit me up after the meeting. I'll fill you in. :)20:42
humphreybcyou just need to know the list of commands to use :)20:42
ubuntujenkinsI have no latex problems I check before up load20:42
Rudi-godbyk, sorry man. Yes please, some commnands would ben nice :)20:42
godbykRudi-:  no worries. I've got a tutorial around I'll give to ya.20:43
jaminday1Also see here for list of commands: http://etherpad.com/JqY9NtbB7b20:43
IlyaHaykinsonalso, Rudi, instead of Xscan there's a new scanning app in Lucid20:43
humphreybc"Simple Scan"20:43
humphreybcit's really quite simple20:43
ubuntujenkinsI was going to write that20:43
nisshhhehe20:43
IlyaHaykinsonubuntujenkins: i thought you were going to do printing?20:43
ubuntujenkinsfeel free to write it Rudi-20:43
Rudi-write what?20:44
ubuntujenkinsI can do printing20:44
IlyaHaykinsonubuntujenkins: i think this would be the highest priority20:44
humphreybcso the first bit in chapter four with the list of commands, that has to go20:44
godbykThe hardware identification section may need to be moved or rewritten to use GUI alternatives (if available). We're trying to avoid command-line stuff this early, aren't we?20:44
ubuntujenkinsok I will do prining thats cool20:44
humphreybcit can be moved to troubleshooting20:44
Rudi-Ok, godbyk20:44
humphreybcsomething like "how do i know what my hardware is?" etc20:44
Rudi-is there even a decent GUI app for that stuff?20:45
humphreybcnah20:45
godbykRudi-: I think there's a GUI for lshw, but I don't recall.20:45
humphreybcso preferences and hardware is 4 (four!) pages long20:45
Rudi-I couldn't find one on my default Lucid install20:45
ubuntujenkinsI will get some done this week20:45
dutchie!info lshw-gtk20:45
humphreybcwe need some manpower for chap 420:45
IlyaHaykinsoni think that the most important hardware parts are 1) printing, 2) displays, 3) sound, 4) CDs/DVDs, 5) scanning, 6) other topics20:45
* dutchie pokes manualbot 20:45
humphreybc!manualbotwakup20:45
manualbotFactoid 'manualbotwakup' not found20:45
IlyaHaykinsoni think we have a start on the displays bit already20:45
IlyaHaykinsonand the other things that ubuntujenkins and Rudi- are working on20:46
dutchiewell, that's the package anyway20:46
humphreybcokay so chap 4 will make it, just20:46
EllI will help out in chapter 4 if any help is needed20:46
ubuntujenkinsI will get printing and brasero done this week20:46
Rudi-So, what are we going to RE: identifying hardware section?20:46
humphreybcjaminday1 and IlyaHaykinson: you'll have to keep an eye on it20:46
jaminday1humphreybc: no problem.20:46
IlyaHaykinsonI recommend that anything that isn't well on its way to completion by end of next week is getting cut20:47
IlyaHaykinsonfor this edition20:47
Rudi-is the content freeze still set for the 21st?20:47
humphreybcIlyaHaykinson: yeah that's a good idea. we don't want stuff in there that's low quality if it hasn't been edited20:47
humphreybcRudi-: yep20:47
jaminday1IlyaHaykinson: agreed - we can't keep adding new content right up until writing freeze or we will never get there.20:47
IlyaHaykinsonwhat i recommend is that after the translation freeze we branch20:48
IlyaHaykinsonand start working on the second edition20:48
IlyaHaykinsonthat way we keep the momentum going for the english language writers20:48
IlyaHaykinsoneven while the manual itself is getting translated and finalized20:48
humphreybcRudi-: get rid of the identifying your hardware commands. copy and paste it into a new txt document somewhere and we might put it into the troubleshooting chapter20:48
humphreybcand IlyaHaykinson that's the best damn idea i've heard20:48
nisshhilya: normally the release gets branched from trunk20:49
jaminday1IlyaHaykinson: yeah that's a great idea20:49
nisshhnot the other way around20:49
godbykthe section headings in ch4 should be made more consistent.20:49
humphreybcnisshh: oh well, we're different20:49
Red_HamsterXSo, nisshh, keep everything running in trunk concurrent with all new development, then branch prior to freezing with each future release?20:50
nisshhhehe, its just easier20:50
godbykeither a list of hardware devices (singular or plural) or actions (e.g., Burning CDs and DVDs)20:50
Rudi-humphreybc, oki doki thats fine20:50
* humphreybc has a feeling this is gonna be a long meeting20:50
godbykhumphreybc: they always are. :)20:50
* ubuntujenkins ditto20:50
* Rudi- agrees20:50
IlyaHaykinsonnisshh: actually, that's true.20:50
semioticroboticalways long meetings on IRC ... just the nature of the beast20:50
jaminday1Should we keep moving...20:51
humphreybcyep20:51
humphreybcum add the bzr branch stuff to the to do list20:51
nisshhbranch after translation freeze and the then final touches can be made on that branched branch20:51
humphreybcwe'll think about how to work it20:51
nisshhthat way the trunk stays pristine20:51
humphreybcnisshh: that could work yeah20:51
Rudi-sounds good to me20:51
dutchietodo list updated20:52
humphreybcokay chapter 5. my understanding is that the content is all there, it just needs a bit of a shuffle20:52
nisshhyea, that way it doesnt get mixed with some 10.04 and some 10.1020:52
humphreybcnisshh: we'll probably release a second edition for 10.04, or a second impression20:52
nisshhwho is on ch520:52
humphreybcwolter wrote most of it but he's buggered off20:52
Rudi-Offtopic: is gnome 3 scheduled for release in 10.10? or is that still speculation?20:52
jaminday1humphreybc: permanently?20:53
humphreybcRudi-: the ubuntu guys don't want to use gnome 3 if it's going to have gnome shell20:53
nisshhcorrect gnome3 is supposed to be in 10.1020:53
humphreybcjaminday1: not permanently, he's still working on the website now... i think he's just sick of writing20:53
jaminday1ah ok fair enough20:53
Rudi-cool, thanks20:53
jaminday1I can have a crack at adding the upgrading/updating stuff if you like20:53
humphreybche's done a good job with chap 5, like all the latex commands are there and stuff20:53
humphreybcyeah that would be good20:54
* humphreybc is hungry20:54
* Rudi- wants to sleep20:54
humphreybclol20:54
jaminday1fingers crossed i can find the time ;-)20:54
* nisshh is excited20:54
humphreybcnisshh: ?20:54
IlyaHaykinsonwhich one is 5?20:54
humphreybclol20:54
IlyaHaykinsoninstallation?20:54
humphreybc5 is software/packaging20:54
IlyaHaykinsonpackaging?20:54
Rudi-that is 420:54
IlyaHaykinsonhm, it needs a good bit of work20:54
IlyaHaykinsoni've been touching it up20:55
IlyaHaykinsonbut it needs a lot of TLC still20:55
humphreybcokay i'll have a look at it today20:55
IlyaHaykinsoni would estimate 4-5 hrs of writing.20:55
godbykwhat's with the 'and packaging' part of the title?20:55
jaminday1IlyaHaykinson: ok i'll go through and add any content i can20:55
humphreybcgodbyk, true, what on earth is packaging? :{20:55
godbykMaybe "Installing and Updating Software" or something?20:55
humphreybcwe need to change that for a new user20:55
nisshhthat should be changed in the title20:56
IlyaHaykinsongodbyk: i like this title20:56
humphreybcokay so add to the to do list practically change every single title :P20:56
jaminday1godbyk: yeah20:56
nisshhhehe20:56
Rudi-har har har20:56
humphreybcalso, now that i look at "The Command Line" i see it's fairly daunting20:56
Red_HamsterXMaybe someone could find a non-technical user (parent?) to screen the ToC.20:56
jaminday1Yep command line needs a lot of work20:56
Red_HamsterXParent/liberal arts major.20:57
humphreybcnisshh: aren't you on command line?20:57
jaminday1i've been adding a bit as i've been editing but haven't gotten around to finishing20:57
* nisshh reaslises that and is working on it tommorrow morning first thing20:57
humphreybc Red_HamsterX haha20:57
humphreybccool20:57
jaminday1nisshh: check out the edits i made as well20:57
humphreybcwe'll leave it in your capable hands then!20:57
nisshhok20:57
humphreybcchapter 7?20:57
humphreybcsecurity20:57
jaminday1i saved your original file in the folder then made my changes so we can revert if necessary20:57
humphreybccontent wise, is not looking too bad20:57
KelvinGardinerneeds review by editor20:57
Rudi-who is the editor for chap 7?20:58
KelvinGardinerno idea20:58
jaminday1Rudi-: are you still interested?20:58
humphreybcno one20:58
humphreybcronald_: want to edit a chapter?20:58
Rudi-what would be required of me?20:58
IlyaHaykinsoni added a lot of edits to the command line chapter recently20:58
IlyaHaykinsonan intro, basically.20:58
nisshhilya: iv seen them20:59
IlyaHaykinsonnisshh: nice.20:59
IlyaHaykinsonmaybe you can expand the other sections in a similar way?20:59
humphreybcRudi you'd just have to go through and fix anything that's too complicated sounding, re word stuff that doesn't make sense, fix spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, punctuation, latex commands and the like20:59
nisshhyes, ill follow your example20:59
IlyaHaykinsonsweet20:59
Rudi-humphreybc, ok I'm keen to do it then20:59
jaminday1humphreybc: thanks you beat me to it -)20:59
jaminday1;-)21:00
humphreybcsweet21:00
humphreybcchapter 8 troubleshooting21:00
epkugelmasshi21:00
humphreybcah so Elan is on this one21:00
nisshhhey dude21:00
epkugelmassso, i'm looking at the sections toward the beginning of the chapter21:00
epkugelmasswhich just got moved from old-621:00
godbykI'd put the troubleshooting stuff before the sys maintenance stuff.21:01
* humphreybc just saw the title of that chapter, puke21:01
godbyk1. it matches the chapter title21:01
jaminday1I'm responsible for editing but haven't even really looked at it yet. I'm planning on doing that today though21:01
epkugelmassthanks21:01
godbyk2. it's more likely I'm going to want troubleshooting stuff in a hurry. :-)21:01
jaminday1Yeah title probably needs a revisit also21:01
humphreybc"Troubleshooting and system maintenance" that word wraps!21:01
humphreybcokay so we've decided all the titles need a re think21:01
epkugelmasswhat i need to work on is fixing the bug associated with the reinstalling grub section21:01
semioticroboticjust remove the word "system"?21:01
godbykthe purging and whatnot may belong in the software chapter anyway.21:02
epkugelmassand also gui-fying the cleanup my hard drive section21:02
jaminday1semioticrobotic: yeah that could work21:02
epkugelmassi dont think computer janitor does that21:02
epkugelmassat least, it doesnt do that for me21:02
Rudi-screenie of "computer janitor?"21:02
humphreybccomputer janitor sucks21:02
IlyaHaykinsonis there a good alternative to the computer janitor?21:02
Rudi-doesn't it just clean packages?21:02
IlyaHaykinsoninstallable from the software center?21:02
Ellyes computer jaintor is awful21:02
epkugelmassi have no idea what it does21:02
humphreybcyeah and it removes dependencies and .debs too21:03
dutchiecomputer janitor definitely needs some love21:03
Rudi-Sweeper?21:03
epkugelmassi always use ubuntu tweak to clean my hard drive21:03
danyRcomputer janitor as alternatives like bleachbit21:03
humphreybcugh!21:03
danyRand a nice script called ubuncleaner21:03
humphreybcnot bleachbit!21:03
humphreybci tried bleachbit once21:03
danyRubucleaner*21:03
humphreybcdestroyed my computer21:03
nisshh*cough*command line*cough*21:03
* Rudi- agrees with nisshh21:03
humphreybcyeah probably easiest just to chuck them some sudo apt-get clean and autoremove commands21:04
nisshhhehe21:04
Rudi-i have a great idea:21:04
Rudi-sudo rm -rf21:04
Rudi-:) nice clean pc21:04
humphreybcsudo rm -rf /21:04
humphreybcO.o21:04
dutchiethat doesn't actually work21:04
danyRcomputer-janitor also does that. removes every .deb package you've installed by yourself21:04
dutchietry it21:04
jaminday1cool i'll try that now...21:04
humphreybcdutchie: after you21:04
nisshhwow, really? holy moly21:04
dutchiejosh@rigel:~$ sudo rm -rf /21:04
dutchie[sudo] password for josh:21:04
dutchierm: cannot remove root directory `/'21:04
nisshhthat is terrible21:04
IlyaHaykinsonoh, wait, synaptic has a view by status21:04
dutchiethat took some bravery ;)21:05
jaminday1hehe21:05
humphreybcwow21:05
humphreybcthat's cool21:05
nisshhdamn i love kde 4.4.121:05
IlyaHaykinsonone of those statuses is "installed (autoremovable)" which i think is the same thing as what gets removed with autoremove21:05
epkugelmassok, so it's a agreed that i'll get rid of the computer janitor stuff21:05
tacantaraSorry I'm late.  Did I miss anything?  ;)21:05
danyRwhat i was talking about: http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/Ubucleaner?content=7152921:05
humphreybcyeah computer janitor is a pain in the butt21:05
jaminday1tacantara: heya21:05
humphreybctacantara: heh, we're still on the first thing in the agenda21:05
humphreybcjust going over the chapters21:06
humphreybcdanyR: in the repos?21:06
jaminday1check out todo list for things we've added http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/aA6ygCXL9F!21:06
epkugelmassbesides that, i just need to fix that bug and rearrange the chapte21:06
epkugelmassany other thoughts?21:06
humphreybcif it's not in the repos then we can't use it21:06
humphreybcepkugelmass: nah it looks good. you might have some stuff coming your way from other chapters21:06
danyRhumphreybc: it's a 25 line shell script21:07
jaminday1yeah do we need another writer to help out with the new stuff in that chapter?21:07
humphreybc"Remove every kernel except the one you are using"21:07
epkugelmasshumphreybc,  thanks. just let me know what you need21:07
humphreybcthat sucks!21:07
humphreybcjaminday1: if we've got one to spare, sure21:07
jaminday1anyone want to put up their hand?21:08
danyRhumphreybc: you can edit it. but it really works well, and has a *nice* interface (don't know if nice is possible to use when talking about command line interfaces)21:08
humphreybcyeah21:08
Rudi-cli is sexy!21:08
humphreybci think by the time we tell them to go download it and run it we could just tell them a few commands ourselves?21:09
jaminday1epkugelmass: how are you feeling with your chapter - do you want someone to help out with the new stuff we moved into it or are you okay?21:09
humphreybcand besides, we don't really want to be reliant on an external application/script21:09
humphreybcdanyR: thanks for the suggestion though :)21:09
danyRyeah. sudo apt-get autoremove --purge && sudo apt-get autoclean21:09
epkugelmassjaminday1, I would appreciate help21:09
danyRit's quite a good cleaning, in fact21:09
epkugelmassI had planned to finish the chapter last week21:10
jaminday1ok guys can we stay on topic21:10
IlyaHaykinsonalright, i've gotta go. some quick things before i go idle for a while:  a) i'm going through and trying to expand some people's chapters. please don't take offense -- if you disagree, feel free to revert or edit my changes.  2) i will be going through and fixing up all the GUI usage terms soon, as per the writing presentation and the GNOME guidelines.21:10
epkugelmassb/c I'm dealing with midterms now21:10
epkugelmassbut it looks like my work is not yet done...21:10
IlyaHaykinsonc) would prefer if godbyk can add some spacing between paragraphs. they're too close together now.21:10
IlyaHaykinsonok, l8r folks.21:10
semioticroboticlater!21:10
Rudi-bye bye21:10
ubuntujenkinslater21:10
jaminday1IlyaHaykinson: see ya21:10
godbykIlyaHaykinson: The whole line spacing will be increased a titch.21:10
humphreybcgodbyk are you playing around with the book format atm?21:11
jaminday1epkugelmass: if we can't get anyone else i'll try and jump in to help write a bit21:11
epkugelmassjaminday1, I appreciate it.21:11
godbykhumphreybc: I'm starting to, yeah. Though I keep getting distracted. :)21:11
jaminday1so... Chapter 9?21:12
semioticroboticokay21:12
semioticroboticI have a few items21:12
humphreybcand just lastly, chapter 9: first half is pretty sweet, might need some TLC, second half needs to be finished but i'll do that today. actually, i was thinking we could drop the extra applications bit. for a few reasons, 1) software center now has a "featured" section and star ratings, 2) each app will require a screenshot which takes up space, 3) it's personal opinion what apps we like and 4) it takes up some more space21:12
jaminday1humphreybc: yep agreed with all of the above21:12
humphreybcokay, extra apps: bye bye21:13
Ellyes I agree21:13
Rudi-[AGREED]21:13
ubuntujenkinsfine with me21:13
semioticrobotichumphreybc: Okay, well, that saves me a bit of time during tomorow's "writing push"21:13
semioticroboticha!21:13
Rudi-!agreed21:13
manualbotFactoid 'agreed' not found21:13
humphreybcheh21:13
semioticroboticI can make those changes this evening21:13
epkugelmassgodbyk, can i pm you with a latex question?21:13
humphreybcokay finally, moving on!21:13
godbykepkugelmass: sure!21:13
humphreybccatching up on written content, well, we've already covered that21:13
danyRhumphreybc: at least refer to that featured section in USC21:14
semioticroboticId say so!21:14
jaminday1humphreybc: can we jump to anything really important cos i'll have to go soon as well!21:14
humphreybcdanyR: yeah we will21:14
humphreybckk21:14
jaminday1New dates for freezes?21:14
nisshhyes, i need to get some sleep too, so maybe we prioritize the agenda21:14
humphreybcmost important things are probably final title page / new freeze dates21:14
semioticroboticagreed ... I'll need to leave in about five minutes, too21:14
humphreybcthe new freeze dates are 21st march for content, 31st march for writing21:14
semioticroboticgotcha21:15
humphreybccontent - ie, new sections and stuff21:15
humphreybcthe writing freeze will have NO exceptions21:15
semioticrobotic...then all fleshed out by 3121:15
semioticroboticgotcha21:15
godbykRed_HamsterX: Title page.  thorwil is working on one that incorporates the new Ubuntu design (such that it is). And we'll write it up in LaTeX, so the title pages get translated automagically.21:15
nisshhok got it21:15
semioticroboticnice21:15
humphreybcsweet21:15
humphreybctitle page looks good21:15
humphreybcand will look better with the new branding stuff21:15
humphreybcas for new branding, godbyk, colours in the manual?21:16
humphreybcjaminday1 semioticrobotic you guys can head off now if you like21:16
semioticroboticokay, chief21:16
Red_HamsterXgodbyk, why was I highlighted?21:16
semioticroboticdrop me a line if you need anything ... I'll be working on the manual tonight21:16
jaminday1humphreybc: ok cheers - will keep track of todo list and will be coming back later today to do some more writing21:16
humphreybcawesome :)21:17
godbykhumphreybc: thorwil's been in contact with the ubuntu design folks. they're still finalizing the color choices.21:17
jaminday1bye all21:17

humphreybcok21:17
humphreybcso i'm just gonna whizz through this stuff now21:17
nisshhheh well who is left21:17
humphreybcif you want to say anything, just interrupt :)21:18
nisshhdont rush21:18
nisshhi can stay another 30-40 mins21:18
* Rudi- jumps up and down excitedly!21:18
Rudi-me me me21:18
nisshhlol21:18
humphreybcnew website is up at http://test.ubuntu-manual.org21:18
humphreybcnot finished yet21:18
humphreybcthe mockups are under /website/source21:18
humphreybcin the branch21:18
humphreybctake a look at it and let me know what you think21:18
Rudi-oki21:19
humphreybcyou don't have to now, but just at some point21:19
epkugelmassi like it21:19
epkugelmassbeen watching the development21:19
nisshhits awesome21:19
humphreybccool :)21:19
nisshhsimple yet elegant21:19
epkugelmassi think it should incorporate the ubuntu brown color a little more though21:19
humphreybcepkugelmass: the brown is no longer :)21:19
nisshhyucky!21:19
nisshhdeath to the brown!!21:19
humphreybclol21:19
Rudi-i like the white21:20
dutchieI liked the brown21:20
tacantaraPurple is the new brown21:20
dutchieit was a bit of a shame to see it go21:20
nisshhi didnt mind it in the logos21:20
Rudi-i still have a brown theme going... :)21:20
nisshhbut as the theme it was terrible21:20
nisshhdie hard fan huh?21:20
humphreybcokay so that's cool, re-arrangement - i'm sure you all get this, but chap 6 is now gone and merged with software/packaging and troubleshooting21:20
Rudi-yep21:21
nisshhwait what?21:21
nisshhch6 is cmd21:21
humphreybcnah old chapter 621:21
humphreybcused to just be "system maintenance"21:21
Rudi-now there are only 9 chapters21:21
humphreybcbut we removed it, because there wasn't enough stuff to write on21:21
danyRhey, check out this post from shuttleworth about ubuntu new colors: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/30821:21
nisshhooooh you mean the sixth iteration of the 9th quadrant of the 3 circlet21:22
humphreybclolwut21:22
humphreybcum editing review, jamin is going to do that this week21:22
nisshhnuthin just saying im confused in a cool way21:22
humphreybcwhat we need to have done asap - basically everything on here: http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/aA6ygCXL9F21:22
nisshhok21:22
danyRmay be important to integrate core values in ubuntu manual: "And on the end-user / engineer spectrum, we took inspiration from graph paper and engineering blue prints. When you see widely spaced patterns of dots, or outline images and figures, that’s signalling that the content is more engineering-oriented than end-user oriented."21:22
humphreybcany new people who come along wanting to help out, point them at the to do list21:23
nisshhok21:23
humphreybcdanyR: how would we do that?21:23

danyR"The use of Aubergine indicates Commercial involvement of one form or another, while Orange is a signal of community engagement."21:24
humphreybcyep well thorwil is pretty involved in the artwork thing, so i'm sure he knows what he's doing21:24
godbykI'd think we'd want avoid the engineering end of the spectrum for the getting started guide.21:24

humphreybcquickshot team... assemble!21:27
ubuntujenkinshere21:27
humphreybcRed_HamsterX: ping21:27
humphreybcso since i'm not really doing a whole heap except watching and designing the UI21:28
ubuntujenkinsI am going to ask for help in #ubuntu-app-devel to see if people want to help21:28
humphreybcok cool21:28
humphreybcanyone know of any python developers?21:28
Red_HamsterXhumphreybc, hi.21:28
nisshhim one21:28
nisshhbut not a pro21:28
nisshhi wrote pytask21:28
humphreybcturns out my post on omgubuntu.co.uk for python devs ended up attracting more questions about what theme i was using21:28
dutchieI should definitely be more involved in quickshot21:28
nisshhjust search it lp21:28
Red_HamsterXhumphreybc, my job failed to pay on time, so I've got a lot of freedom ahead of me to focus on things.21:29
humphreybcRed_HamsterX: ha! okay then that sounds good, well, good for us21:29
humphreybclaunchpad.net/quickshot21:29
humphreybcwiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/quickshot21:29
humphreybcgo nuts21:29
humphreybc:)21:29
Red_HamsterXI'd rather contribute to something that helps people more than something that helps a private enterprise anyway.21:30
* humphreybc is definitely ready for a coffee and breakfast21:30
ubuntujenkinsplease help Toomy and I did some work on the time out stiff to day but with on avail. FO my writing python taakes days and isn't an effective use of my time. I will quite happyly continue to help21:30
nisshhso do we all21:30
* Rudi- is definitely ready for bed...21:30
humphreybcyeah Tommy needs some help21:30
* ubuntujenkins can't type fast at all21:30
Red_HamsterXI was speaking with Tommy for a while this morning.21:30
* humphreybc computer is going to run out of juice21:30
humphreybcoka21:30
Red_HamsterXHe gave me a pretty good idea of where he wants to see things go.21:31
Red_HamsterXI think I can help us get there.21:31
ubuntujenkinshuphreybc did Red_HamsterX and godbyk tell you their idea21:31
nisshhok if theres nothing important left to discuss i need to go to bed21:31
Red_HamsterXThe HTTP thing?21:31
* Rudi- agrees with nisshh, me too!21:31
ubuntujenkinsyes21:31
Red_HamsterXYeah, that's been explained.21:31
Red_HamsterXTommy agrees, too.21:31
ubuntujenkinscool21:31
humphreybcokay21:31
Red_HamsterXI'm going to push forward on getting a complete prototype ready today (my time).21:31
humphreybcso quickshot guys, feel free to ping thumper or doctormo to ask questions21:32
Red_HamsterXFor the upload/status-check/authentication model.21:32
ubuntujenkinssweet sounds good21:32
humphreybct humper works for canonical, team-lead for launchpad21:32
humphreybcdoctormo is martin owens who developed ground control. he knows python and also how to work with bzr and launchpad21:33
Red_HamsterXI'm kinda wondering why my last bzr commit doesn't seem to be in the main branch, though. But I'm sure I'll figure it out.21:33
ubuntujenkinsI havee a question about screenshots, what are we going to do about apps that people have installed and appear in the mnues?21:33
humphreybcjust tell them what you're working on and that i sent you and they'll be all good :)21:33
humphreybcubuntujenkins: avoid screenshotting the menus?21:33
Red_HamsterXubuntujenkins, wouldn't we want everyone to be using fresh installs of Lucid anyway?21:33
nisshhyes21:33
danyRRed_HamsterX: maybe a guest-session, not a fresh install21:33
humphreybcyeah21:34
ubuntujenkinsI am not at the moment and we can't garantee they are freesh21:34
nisshhok iv gotta go now, cyas21:34
humphreybcbut don't guest sessions still have access to all the apps?21:34
Red_HamsterXGuest session works, too.21:34
humphreybcchow nissh, thanks for staying up21:34
Rudi-bye bye nisshh21:34
danyRhumphreybc: yeah, they have21:34
nisshhno prob cya21:34
humphreybcwell21:34
ubuntujenkinsI would like the screen resolution change stuff sorted so it can be tested by lots of people.21:34
humphreybcwe're hardly ever going to have the menus in the screenshot21:34
Rudi-cheers guys :) i'm out21:35
ubuntujenkinsI think we can say no to menu screenshots21:35
humphreybcokay bye Rudi- thanks for coming!21:35
Red_HamsterXIf we do, it'll probably be in a later version. This isn't a walkthrough so much as it is a tour, correct?21:35
humphreybcyeah that makes sense21:35
humphreybcRed_HamsterX: i guess you could say that21:35
humphreybcalthough we do go into quite a bit of detail on a lot of stuff21:36
humphreybcjust look at chap 3! :)21:36
humphreybcright well i think that's pretty much everything21:37
humphreybcquestions?21:37
Red_HamsterXWould having new menu entries unrelated to the task the user wants to accomplish really be that confusing?21:37
Red_HamsterXI mean, the goal would be highlighted in their language...21:37
Red_HamsterXJust in case we do get a screencapper with a non-clean system.21:37
humphreybcit probably doesn't matter than much21:37
humphreybcbut it could get a bit annoying if there are a tonne of kde apps21:38
humphreybcamongst like one gnome app21:38
ubuntujenkinswe will be adding them to the branch our sevels so a quick check over can be done21:38
humphreybcwe aren't going to be screenshotting the menus anyway21:38
danyR"he desktop itself will have a wallpaper that is part of the default Ubuntu theme, known as the Human theme. The desktop is highly customizable". just found this while translating. guess it's wrong now :P21:38
humphreybcyeah, lots of stuff is wrong courtesy of the new design changes21:39
ubuntujenkinsRadiance is the new theme or Ambiance21:39
tacantaraI'm going to work on that, now that I have the new themes installed and I've had a chance to play around with them.21:39
humphreybcubuntujenkins: not sure yet21:39
ubuntujenkinswhich one is default?21:39
ubuntujenkinsok21:39
humphreybci think radience will be21:39
humphreybcbut when i installed lucid yesterday, ambience was21:40
tacantaraThat is my understanding too, Ben21:40
danyRheard that ambience is going to be default21:40
ubuntujenkinsI set it to ambiance when i got the update21:40
danyRand it's damn more sexy than radiance!21:40
ubuntujenkinsit is better21:40
humphreybci can't imagine them choosing a dark theme by default21:40
ubuntujenkinstrue thats a point and gdm is light21:40
* humphreybc mutters something about canonical not sticking to the UI freeze21:41
danyRgdm *has* to suffer changes until final release21:41
ubuntujenkinsthats going to cause us a pain21:41
tacantaraA lot changed with the new theme.  No more launchers for Firefox, et.al. on the top panel21:41
* epkugelmass is going to stick to shiki-colors21:41
* humphreybc is going to stick to homosapien :)21:42
humphreybcoh well21:42
humphreybcnot much we can do but wait21:42
* danyR is going to stick with Elementary :D21:42
humphreybcok21:43
humphreybcmeeting over?21:43

godbykhumphreybc: 'kay. see ya after a bit.21:45
humphreybcargh22:17
humphreybccould not acquire lock when pulling22:17
ubuntujenkinsare you using ground control?22:19
humphreybci have it installed but i'm using the CLI22:22
ubuntujenkinsI had ground control lock the branch some how I had to delete the branch and try again with the CLI22:23
humphreybcwow, awesome, we're already up to rev 42822:34

godbykI keep uploading little bug fixes for the various translations when a build fails.22:43
humphreybcthat's all good22:44
humphreybcthere's no rule on how much you have to change before pushin22:44
Red_HamsterXgodbyk, every try building a webapp purely on a remote host using a VCS? Nice way to rack up thousands of revisions very quickly.22:47
ubuntujenkinsbeing a python noob and trying to wrtie a program is another way to do it :-)22:48
Red_HamsterXDon't commit until it's working locally. =P22:49
Red_HamsterXWow. IT's getting late and I'm still assembling proof of billable work...22:49
Red_HamsterXIt's*22:49
Red_HamsterXMy schedule may be off by a few hours.22:49
Red_HamsterXI should probably stop fielding questions in #ubuntu.22:50
godbykRed_HamsterX: heh.. I can imagine!23:04
* ubuntujenkins has a timer nearly working at last except it goes up not down :-)23:07
ubuntujenkinswith allot of help as usual23:08
Red_HamsterXubuntujenkins, has it been committed?23:10
Red_HamsterXIf so, I'll takje a look at it.23:10
Red_HamsterXtake*23:10
ubuntujenkinsnot yet i will do now i suggets you comment out lines 225 and 228 adn change quickshot in line 127 to your user name23:11
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX bzr branch lp:~quickshotdevs/quickshot/luke-quickshot23:14
* ubuntujenkins has a bad feeling internet problems are about to happen23:14
humphreybcubuntujenkins: "has a timer nearly working at last except it goes up not down" hahahaha!23:16
Red_HamsterXHow can I actually push my local bzr changes back to a central location?23:16
Red_HamsterXI'm far too used to the svn/cvs model.23:16
godbykholy cow! I'm gonna have to take a few minutes and read through the TODO list.23:18
godbyksee which bits are on my side of the fence.23:18
ubuntujenkinssorry my guys uni internet has been playing up all day I missed anything you said after 23.1023:22
Red_HamsterXWe didn't say anything meaningful.23:22
godbykWe rarely do. :)23:22
ubuntujenkinscool23:22
ubuntujenkinsyou never know23:22
humphreybcanyone know where i can report bugs on the new notification system?23:23
ubuntujenkinson launchpad bugs under ubuntu :P23:23
humphreybclol23:23
Red_HamsterXOh, that's why I couldn't upload my changes. 'Cause I already did and I was just looking at the wrong branch.23:23
* Red_HamsterX duhs.23:23
humphreybclaunchpad is slow23:23
ubuntujenkinswe have a countdown23:26
* ubuntujenkins jumps up and doen23:26
Red_HamsterXSo which files am I looking at, ubuntujenkins?23:26
humphreybcguys, give me some more things that tell you information in your notification tray23:28
humphreybcthere's the battery indicator, wireless indicator, volume indicator23:28
humphreybccrash report?23:28
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX the timer is in bin/quickshot line 232 with some help I have it working now i will just make the changes23:28
humphreybcupdates available?23:28
Red_HamsterXbin/? That seems like an odd place to put source, but okay.23:28
Red_HamsterXBy default or what we use, humphreybc?23:29
humphreybcanything23:29
humphreybcdoesn't have to be by default23:29
Red_HamsterXI also use the CPU monitor and system monitor.23:29
Red_HamsterXOh, except those aren't Notification Tray-bound.23:29
humphreybcokay23:30
humphreybcoh CPU scaling23:30
Red_HamsterXYeah. I like knowing, at a glance, whether I've written a busy loop or not.23:30
Red_HamsterXAnd I like knowing just how much RAM my AI projects are eating.23:31
humphreybci'm just submitting bugs on launchpad complaining about a heap of stuff :)23:31
Red_HamsterXAh. I figured this was for things to document for the manual.23:31
humphreybchehe nope, i just asked here because that window was open23:32
humphreybchttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/53354423:32

ubuntujenkinshumphreybc its effects me :-)23:34
humphreybcyeah, mark it as affecting you if it does please team :)23:34
ubuntujenkinswhat I would like to know why is't network manager in there but evreything else is23:35
humphreybcyeah, it's rubbish23:35
* ubuntujenkins is trying to recruit a python coder23:36
ubuntujenkins*another23:36
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX did you say you were adding the screenshot module to quickshot?23:39
ubuntujenkinsguys meet titeuf_87 he helped me get the timer working, humphreybc is the project lead23:44
godbykhumphreybc: for the nomenclature stuff, what do you think needs to be explained?23:44
titeuf_87hey everyone23:44
godbykI think the buttons and menu stuff are usually written right next to the word 'button' or 'menu'.23:44
godbykHey, titeuf_87.23:44
ubuntujenkinsTommyBrunn is also working on it he is utc +1 and not here right now23:45
ubuntujenkinswill be back in a moment just going to do a test23:45
ubuntujenkinstiteuf_87 this is the main branch :23:48
ubuntujenkinsbzr branch lp:quickshot23:48
ubuntujenkinsbzr branch lp:~quickshotdevs/quickshot/luke-quickshot is the branch that has the stuff we were working on I will add it to main tomorow23:48
titeuf_87this is where you added in that counter?23:49
ubuntujenkinsin y branch yes23:49
ubuntujenkinsif you join https://edge.launchpad.net/~quickshotdevs I will authorize it so that you can upload changes23:50
ubuntujenkinsthere is some bugs in my branch only minor that are fixed in main. window sizes and some text not showing23:50
titeuf_87ok, just tried to join, need approval first though23:51
ubuntujenkinsI have just approved you don't test my branch yet I have just made a mistake in testing23:53
titeuf_87I'm just looking around at the code to get an idea of how it works now23:54
ubuntujenkinswe use quickly, quickly run runs it and quickly run -r removes the user and runs it23:55
titeuf_87basically, making an user works, logging in as it works, and further than that it's not implemented yet?23:58
ubuntujenkinsand the resolution is changed if we can23:58
ubuntujenkinswe only support some drivers at the moment23:58
ubuntujenkinsthe reolution change is only in my branch, I have my own branch as I am not a python coder and don't want to break main23:59
