semioticroboticha!  no worries00:00
jamindaysemioticrobotic: ha that's great - you must have been on autopilot when you did it if you forgot!00:00
semioticroboticyeah, and it was a few days ago00:00
semioticroboticI just made a supereditor decision and commented out the entire section of Chapter 7 devoted to sudo00:01
semioticroboticsomeone left a comment saying that this was covered elsewhere in the manual ... and indeed it is00:01
jamindayreally?00:01
jamindayi didn't realise00:01
humphreybcwhat's that?00:01
humphreybcoh hi everyone00:01
jamindayheeeeeeeres humphreybc00:01
semioticroboticevening humphreybc00:01
semioticrobotic(at least, it is where I am!)00:02
humphreybcit's a ridiculously nice day here00:02
jaminday"I just made a supereditor decision and commented out the entire section of Chapter 7 devoted to sudo" -- semioticrobotic about 3 seconds before humphreybc arrived00:02
semioticroboticthanks, jaminday00:03
semioticroboticsudo is covered extensively enough in Chapter 600:03
humphreybcokay, cool00:04
semioticroboticnow, someone left a comment suggesting that section be converted into something on permissions00:05
semioticroboticI agree, but it means we need someone to write a section on permissions!00:05
jamindaycould it wait till 10.10?00:05
semioticroboticunfortunately, I don't know enough about permissions to do this00:05
semioticroboticmost likely it could00:05
humphreybcthat was me00:06
humphreybcjust a suggestion00:06
humphreybcbut yeah, if no one has time then that's all good00:06
jamindayit's definitely an important topic00:06
humphreybc(you could steal some stuff from the community docs)00:06
humphreybcor here00:06
humphreybchttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/permissions00:06
humphreybcnot sure what  license that is00:06
humphreybci know we can take wording from here tho00:07
humphreybchttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions00:07
semioticroboticThis is good stuff, but it actually might be too complicated for a new user00:07
humphreybccopy/paste and simplify?00:08
humphreybcwe just need to explain what it is/how it works00:08
semioticrobotichow can we address the issue of permissions with instructions that refer to the command line?00:08
humphreybcyou don't need to explain to users how to change permissions00:08
semioticroboticokay00:08
humphreybcdon't have any command line stuff00:08
humphreybcjust an introduction/overview to permissions00:08
jamindayit might be a good troubleshooting topic for future00:08
humphreybci'm sure between the psychocats and that community page you'll be able to come up with a couple of paragraphs00:09
humphreybcjaminday: it's not really a problem though00:09
jamindaybut maybe something like "why can't i copy this file to this location"00:09
semioticroboticactually, this is the security chapter00:09
semioticroboticsorry, did I forget to mention that?00:09
humphreybchey!! nisshh said this, "More work on the prologue, long way to go yet though."00:09
humphreybci've finished the damn prologue!00:10
semioticroboticah, but jaminday is suggesting it for a future topic in 8 as well00:10
semioticroboticI was wondering about that!00:10
jamindayhumphreybc: i think he was referring to the glossary?00:10
humphreybcmust have been00:10
jamindayactually we decided to delete your entire prologue and start again00:11
jamindayhope that's ok00:11
semioticroboticI commented out the entire prologue, actually00:11
semioticroboticsupereditor00:11
semioticroboticcan't touch me00:11
jamindayhehe00:11
jamindayI had a friend suggest we should do a translation into pirate speak00:11
semioticroboticThen I say your friend is awesome.00:12
Red_HamsterXMaybe for 10.10.00:12
jamindayhehe00:12
semioticroboticAnd I think one version of the manual should be produced entirely in Comic Sans00:12
humphreybcjaminday: OMG i was thinking that same thing!00:12
Red_HamsterXIn celebration to 10.09.1900:12
Red_HamsterXof00:12
jamindayha classic! semioticrobotic yes definitely!00:12
semioticroboticmake one copy of the Comic Sans version, get the team to sign it, and auction it off00:13
jamindaysemioticrobotic: it would have to be shipped around the world for everyone to sign it00:13
semioticroboticexactly!00:13
jamindayi think that's a great idea00:13
semioticrobotichow cool would that be?00:13
humphreybcthat would be cool00:13
humphreybcneat idea00:14
jamindayalthough i don't think i want to give humphreybc my address00:14
semioticroboticthough auctioning might not be possible (depending on the CC license we chose)00:14
jamindaynever know what will turn up!00:14
* semioticrobotic laughs00:14
godbykI think I'd have to refuse to sign a Comic Sans edition out of principle. :)00:14
semioticroboticha!00:14
humphreybchahaha00:14
humphreybcwe could just do the regular version00:14
humphreybcthe comic sans one is a bit... comic sansy00:15
godbykThat's be neat. What would we do with the money?00:15
jamindaypay someone to do a pirate translation?00:15
Red_HamsterXPay for your bandwidth?00:15
jamindaythen we could auction off the pirate translation and make even more money!00:16
humphreybcbuy big monitors00:16
humphreybc?00:16
humphreybcRed_HamsterX: what's the status of Quickshot? Can we test it yet?00:16
Red_HamsterXI'll be doing some testing tonight.00:17
Red_HamsterXtiteuf has most of the issues worked out, and ubuntujenkins was providing feedback on the GUI earlier today.00:17
godbykRed_HamsterX: Cool. Lemme know when I can go through and nit-pick again. :)00:17
semioticroboticawesome!00:17
humphreybc:)00:19
humphreybcso it'll be ready by the 31st?00:19
Red_HamsterXI can't imagine that it wouldn't be.00:19
humphreybcthat's fantastic news!00:21
godbykI'm impressed!00:21
* humphreybc loves testing Ubuntu, 203mb of updates available after just one night00:21
godbykThe live CD is such an awesome idea!00:21
humphreybchuh?00:21
godbykA Quickshot Live CD.00:21
godbykBoot up the CD, run quickshot, take screenshots00:21
godbykSimple.00:21
godbykdon't have to install anything00:22
humphreybcoh neat00:22
humphreybcis that what's happening?00:22
Red_HamsterXYeah.00:22
humphreybcwow00:22
humphreybcthat is awesome00:22
Red_HamsterXThat's what ubuntujenkins has been working on.00:22
semioticroboticIn Ubuntu, files and folders can be modified so that only specific users can view, modify, or run them.  For instance, you might wish to share an important file with other users, but do not want those users to be able to edit the file.  Ubuntu controls access to files on your computer through a system of "permissions."  Permissions are settings that you can configure to control exactly how files on your computer are acces00:22
semioticroboticsed and used.00:22
Red_HamsterXI've been cleaning up a few small contracts and bug reports.00:22
humphreybcyou guys need to fill me in at some point so i can make all the instructions/blog posts/publicity about it00:22
jamindaysemioticrobotic: nice00:23
humphreybcsemioticrobotic: that'll do00:23
semioticroboticokay00:23
humphreybcgood work :)00:23
semioticrobotic...followed by a URL to community docs, of course00:23
humphreybcyup00:23
semioticroboticcan I humbly ask to add my name to the 'credits' file?00:24
humphreybcsemioticrobotic: haha sure00:25
humphreybcthe current one is just a placeholder00:25
humphreybcI'll be going through around RC and adding in everyone properly, in alphabetical order etc00:25
semioticroboticokay, then I won't bother modifying anything right now00:25
humphreybcso I'm curious as to how you guys got Quickshot + Ubuntu + language packs(?) all on a CD?00:25
humphreybcRed_HamsterX: ^^ ?00:28
Red_HamsterXDunno.00:37
Red_HamsterXI have no connection to that.00:37
Red_HamsterXI'm guessing a number of non-essential packages were stripped or they'll be downloaded at launch.00:38
Red_HamsterXOr maybe it's a DVD.00:39
humphreybcokay neat00:40
semioticroboticgah00:40
semioticrobotici think I screwed something up00:41
jamindaysemioticrobotic: you deleted the prologue again?00:42
semioticroboticlol00:42
semioticroboticI commited changes00:42
semioticroboticthen the wireless dropped out before I could push00:43
semioticroboticnow I get an error message00:43
semioticroboticthe branch has diverged00:43
jamindayhmm - that could be if someone else has pushed changes since you last did a pull00:43
Red_HamsterXMake a diff before doing anything.00:43
semioticrobotichow do I do that?00:44
Red_HamsterXGimme a moment to pull the old branch first...00:44
Red_HamsterXbzr diff > ~/changes.patch #this would probably be sufficient.00:45
Red_HamsterXThat way, if we need to revert to a pre-merge version for any reason, we can apply your changes to that tree.00:45
Red_HamsterXUnless you need to specify what you're diffing against...00:46
Red_HamsterXIn case it considers your last commit the target.00:46
semioticroboticbzr: ERROR: Path(s) are not versioned: changes.patch00:46
Red_HamsterXThe > is significant.00:47
semioticroboticit worked00:47
Red_HamsterXAnd you may need to use 'bzr diff -r 590 > location'.00:47
Red_HamsterXSince 590 is the version currently in Launchpad.00:48
semioticroboticI didn't receive any output00:48
semioticroboticwhat did I just do?00:48
Red_HamsterX> redirects all output the a file.00:48
humphreybcSarantan dude pushed again00:48
semioticroboticgah.00:48
Red_HamsterXDid he push or merge?00:48
Red_HamsterXto a file*00:48
* humphreybc looks00:48
humphreybcpushed00:49
humphreybche didn't merge00:49
humphreybcadded some stuff on webcams and printing00:49
humphreybc=|00:49
Red_HamsterXIf you cat or edit ~/changes.patch, you'll see a diff3 list of everything that you've changed.00:49
humphreybcwhat's a nice way of telling him to stop adding stuff to the branch?00:49
Red_HamsterXWhere else is he supposed to put it?00:49
humphreybcnowhere, the content freeze has been and gone00:50
humphreybcin theory we shouldn't be accepting any more material, only edits00:50
Red_HamsterXJust say that, then.00:50
humphreybcI could ask him to store it locally for 10.1000:50
Red_HamsterXThe freeze has passed, so please make a note of things for the next revision.00:50
semioticroboticchanges.patch is an empty file00:50
Red_HamsterXOr you could fork the current branch for 10.10.00:50
Red_HamsterXAnd have him work against that.00:50
Red_HamsterXsemioticrobotic, use the second version of my command, then.00:51
Red_HamsterXThe -r 590 one.00:51
semioticroboticI did00:51
semioticroboticsame result00:52
Red_HamsterXOdd...00:53
Red_HamsterX589?00:53
Red_HamsterXMaybe your 590 is different from our 590.00:53
Red_HamsterX(Due to this push)00:53
semioticroboticboom00:54
semioticroboticthere we go00:54
Red_HamsterXYay.00:54
semioticroboticit's seriously the three sentences i added to a single file00:54
Red_HamsterXOkay, so if, when you merge, something goes wrong, you can send us that file and we can work it out.00:55
semioticroboticokay00:55
Red_HamsterXMeh. Still good practice.00:55
semioticroboticso go ahead and merge?00:55
Red_HamsterXLemme take a look at what was just added...00:55
semioticroboticokay00:55
Red_HamsterXYeah, merge. He only changed two files, so I can quickly check to nake sure his new content is still there.00:56
semioticroboticok00:57
Red_HamsterXYour next commit should show changes to webcam.tex and printing.tex, since it'll contain his changes as sub-revisions.00:57
semioticroboticok00:57
semioticrobotichere goes00:57
semioticroboticpushed00:58
* Red_HamsterX waits for Launchpad to scan things.00:58
semioticroboticsure is taking its time00:59
semioticrobotic:)00:59
Red_HamsterXsecurity.tex?00:59
semioticroboticyep!00:59
Red_HamsterXLooks good, then.00:59
Red_HamsterXI see his changes and yours.01:00
semioticrobotic*whew*01:00
semioticroboticthanks, guys!01:00
semioticroboticI was sweating01:00
Red_HamsterXbzr: serious business01:00
Red_HamsterXOr something.01:00
semioticroboticlol01:00
semioticroboticyou got it01:00
Red_HamsterXI dunno how that meme works.01:00
semioticroboticalright, time to turn in01:00
Red_HamsterXG'night~01:00
semioticrobotictake care, everyone01:00
jamindayI had to sort out some conflicts in the branch last night. I've never done it before and it was about 2am here - my head was going crazy.01:02
humphreybchaha01:02
Red_HamsterXConflicts aren't *that* bad, since at least you know what you're actually pushing.01:02
humphreybc'if you break the branch i will destroy you01:03
jamindayhumphreybc: lol01:03
Red_HamsterXMerging is scary, since we don't know how it actually works yet.01:03
jamindayRed_HamsterX: yeah i figured it out in the end01:03
jamindayBut i freaked at first01:03
Red_HamsterXI remember my first SVN conflict.01:03
Red_HamsterXMy first thought was, coming from CVS, "01:03
Red_HamsterXOh, great. It's corrupt again."01:04
Red_HamsterX-again01:04
jamindayhehe01:05
jamindayI had conflict in 2 files. I spent about an hour searching through them with meld to realise that it came down to a \gls command had been added in both01:06
Red_HamsterXGah. :(01:14
* jaminday is off to hunt for some lunch01:19
TakyojiIt would be interesting if there was also a project for creating documentation or learning materials for new computer users as well, in context of Ubuntu02:02
TakyojiAs I haven't really found anything of such.02:02
TakyojiSomething just a little more primitive of topics than the Ubuntu Manual. Perhaps something that could be a prerequisite to such.02:03
TakyojiFor basic terminology, when to double-click or single-click, etc. It probably wouldn't even be that much of content to go over either.02:04
Red_HamsterXTakyoji, that sounds like the Ubuntu-Beginners' mandate.02:06
Red_HamsterXhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/MissionStatement02:07
TakyojiI guess I haven't come across it before; perhaps it would be something I could participate with.02:07
Red_HamsterXNot quite that basic, but they're kinda close to that level.02:07
Red_HamsterXActually, I may be totally wrong.02:08
Red_HamsterXI must be confusing them with another project. :(02:08
Red_HamsterXThey're more migration.02:08
TakyojiMoreso with going from another operating system to Ubuntu?02:09
pleia2the ubuntu learning project is working to write course materials that people can teach02:10
pleia2starting with really low level intro to classes02:10
Takyojiahh02:10
pleia2but we need more volunteers, haven't really gotten things off the ground yet besides some sysadmin courses (which are more advanced)02:11
humphreybcUMP has plans for a quick start guide at some point too02:40
Red_HamsterXWhy did I make my Lucid password non-standard?02:47
Red_HamsterXUgh... When there's only the red X in Lucid's control box, it looks super-ugly.02:51
Red_HamsterXapport: full report: 26.6MB; reduced report: 13.3KB.03:36
Red_HamsterXAnyone see a problem here?03:36
RPG-MasterHey, wasn't it decided that Lucid keep the window buttons on the right side?04:00
TakyojiFor some reason I thought the same as well; but I haven't seen it reverted.04:03
TakyojiIt would be nice if there was an option in the Appearance dialog of what the window buttons orientation would be, so that people would have a choice either way.04:03
RPG-MasterI just noticed that the screenshots in the manual have the buttons on the left04:05
humphreybcthey'll probably be staying on the left04:52
TakyojiWhat's the straightforward method of tweaking such, without having to install any specialized app for such?05:06
TakyojiRandom fact: I'm running 10.04, and have been current with updates, yet my window controls are actually still on the right.05:07
Red_HamsterXDid you upgrade from 9.10?05:08
TakyojiActually no, it's a separate installation05:09
TakyojiEither Alpha 1 or 2.05:09
Red_HamsterXQuickshot rev 100 pushed!05:24
manualbothttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/revision/100 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual -r 10005:24
* Red_HamsterX eats the bot.05:24
Red_HamsterXHmm... Can anyone try to reproduce a bug with the Users and Groups application that manifests when trying to delete the quickshot account?05:29
Red_HamsterXRequires Lucid.05:29
Takyoji(if I had Quickshot installed currently, I would try)05:30
Red_HamsterXActually, it could just be because I haven't restarted since doing a dist-upgrade.05:30
Red_HamsterXAfter a month.05:31
Red_HamsterXYeah, that looks like it was the problem.05:32
Red_HamsterXhumphreybc, Quickshot is now minimally functional: we can give it instructions from the server and it will do as we command. IT'S ALIVE. Or something.05:56
Red_HamsterXAnyone around, please ask titeuf_87 to look at the Quickshot section under http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/aA6ygCXL9F when he's back.05:57
Red_HamsterX(It still needs polish and error-handling, but we can start populating the development system with real data now)05:59
ubuntujenkinsmorning all07:05
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: ping07:05
godbykubuntujenkins: pong07:06
ubuntujenkinshello, yesterday I changed the fi po fiel i am yet to update it but it now compiles to the end this is the diff of it .......07:06
ubuntujenkinshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/401631/07:07
ubuntujenkinsas you will see there are often two \\ before laytex commands i removed one of them before the "userinput" command and now it works, but why does the "prompt" one work with two\07:08
godbykah, leave the two backslashes in.07:09
godbykthe po file uses a backslash to escape LaTeX's backslash.07:09
godbykOtherwise, it would expand things like \n to newline, \t to tab, etc.07:09
ubuntujenkinsthats why i didn't upload it07:09
godbykThe problem in the fi translation is that the underscores need to be escaped with a backslash.07:10
godbykartnay: Whenever you get back: The only LaTeX-related problems I found in the Finnish translation is that when you type "uusi_hakemisto", you need to escape the underscore (_) character with a backslash (\).07:10
ubuntujenkinsright i see07:10
godbykThat's what I sent earlier, but artnay hasn't responded (yet).07:10
godbykChangine uusi_hakemisto to uusi\_hakemisto should work07:10
godbyk(or with two backslashes if you're editing the po file directly.)07:10
ubuntujenkinsnice ok if i go through and update the po file is that ok07:11
godbykshould be.07:11
ubuntujenkinsooo not seen this before Success!  Wrote 153 pages07:20
godbykubuntujenkins: yeah, I prettied up the output a bit.07:24
godbykto make it easier to see errors and warnings.07:25
ubuntujenkinsits nice does this count as a eorror as far as the list on bulds.ubuntu....       Overfull \hbox (8.73792pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 6648--664907:25
ubuntujenkins[]\EU1/LinuxLibertineO(0)/m/n/9 mozilla_help_viewer_project07:25
ubuntujenkinsbecause there were 24 eorrors in th fi file but i only changed 6 lines07:26
godbykNope, that doesn't count.07:28
godbykThe error count on the builds page is from lines containing "Error:" and those that begin with "!"07:29
godbykThe warning count is those lines that contain "Warning:"07:29
godbykI stole the color coding from the original Makefile we had.07:29
godbykI need to modify it to show the stuff I really care about.07:29
godbykOverfull boxes are important to fix, but that'll be one of the last things we do.07:30
godbyk(They just mean lines that are too long.)07:30
ubuntujenkinsthats what i figured but i was unsure if it counted as build error07:30
ubuntujenkinsthis is interesting to learn07:33
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX: are you still text bug fixing ?07:34
godbykhow are we doing on bug fixing?07:36
ubuntujenkinsfor quickshot or the manual?07:36
godbykI figured I'd spend this weekend going through the manual and trying to fix all the nit-picky bugs I could find.07:36
godbykBut I wanted to want 'til most of the obvious ones were out of the way.07:36
godbykthe manual.07:37
godbykand quickshot. :)07:37
ubuntujenkinswe have no official quickshot bugs just tweaks to make07:37
ubuntujenkinsno screenshot bugs yet07:39
godbykgotcha.07:40
godbykgive me a holler if you want me to run through quickshot again with my pedant's hat on. :)07:41
ubuntujenkins206 fixes on the manual07:41
ubuntujenkinsi will godbyk in a day or two07:41
ubuntujenkinsthanks07:41
godbykk07:41
artnaygodbyk: ok, thanks for the info. I escaped those lines. I'm currently installing texlive (using the script from wiki as texlive from repos doesn't seem to work well enough)07:46
godbykartnay: Great!  ubuntujenkins has updated the po file, but if you make the changes in launchpad (rosetta), they will be incorporated in.07:47
godbykartnay: Also, let me know if you encounter any problems installing tex live 2009 or compiling the manual.07:47
artnaygodbyk: I'm getting http 500 errors with the script - TLDownload::get_file: response error: 500 read timeout permanent server connection set up, but downloading did not succeed!Retrying with wget.07:51
godbykartnay: It sounds like the server it's trying to download from is offline.07:51
artnaygodbyk: what's wrong with texlive from repos? apt-cache says it's 2009-7, shouldn't that work?07:51
godbykyou might hit Ctrl+C to cancel the installation and try it again, but select a different mirror this time.07:52
godbykartnay: It may, but I can't guarantee it.  When I checked a couple months ago, it appeared to be missing some of the LaTeX packages we require.  Plus, they're already out of date.07:52
jamindayIs anyone here running lucid at the moment?08:12
godbykjaminday: I am on my laptop.08:16
jamindaygodbyk: are you able to tell me what options you have in the Session Indicator applet?08:16
godbykwhich is that? the shutdown button menu thingy?08:17
jamindayyep08:17
godbykSure08:17
jamindayi think that's what it's actually called08:17
godbykLock Screen08:17
godbykGuest Session08:17
godbykSwitch from kevin...08:17
godbykLog Out...08:17
godbykSleep08:17
godbykHibernate08:17
godbykRestart...08:17
godbykSwitch Off...08:17
godbykthere's a menu separator between Switch from kevin... and Log Out...08:17
jamindayAh ok great. Sleep was missing from my virtualbox install, so it must only appear if you are on a laptop.08:18
jamindayWhat is the difference between sleep and hibernate?08:18
godbykHibernate should (I think!) save the memory state to disk and power off the laptop, basically.08:18
godbykSo it's like an even deeper sleep.08:19
godbykUses much less battery power, etc.08:19
jamindayhehe08:19
jamindaythanks godbyk08:20
godbykno prob08:20
jamindayOne other thing- does pressing Ctrl Alt Del do anything on your laptop?08:21
godbyklet's see.08:22
godbykIt brings up a window for shutting down.08:23
godbykhas options08:23
godbykhold on08:23
godbykswitch off08:23
godbykrestart08:23
godbyksleep08:23
godbykhibernate08:23
godbykand says that it will shutdown automatically in 60 seconds.08:23
jamindayAh great. Again that didn't work in virtualbox so just needed to check.08:24
jamindaythanks again!08:24
godbykgotcha.08:24
godbykI had to shut down the windows that were open (just in case it did something bad). :)08:25
jamindayhehe08:25
jamindayglad it didn't fry your computer!08:25
godbykit's a fresh install, so no worries, there.08:26
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX: on your computer do bzr launchpad-login userid replacing "userid" with you launchpad login, that way you will get karma08:40
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: once we have a build of quickshot we can release I am going to make the quickshot live cd, I was going to put it on the wiki but the realised any one can change it. Are you able to add it to the server?08:55
godbykYeah, I can do that.08:55
ubuntujenkinswill it be best of i put it in a bzr branch?08:56
godbykPut an iso image in a bzr branch?08:56
ubuntujenkinsyes08:56
ubuntujenkinsnot sure how else i can get it to you08:56
godbykHmm..08:56
godbykDropbox, perhaps?08:56
ubuntujenkinsthey don't work they have a file size limit08:57
godbykOh, that stinks.08:57
ubuntujenkinsI know its caused me a problem before08:57
godbykWell, when you have one ready, we'll find a way to get it transferred.08:57
godbykIf nothing else, I'll just have you ftp to my computer and I can upload it to the server.08:57
ubuntujenkinsok thanks, it will be ready when we have a release08:58
godbykk08:58
godbykIf you think there will be tons and tons of people downloading it, we may want to have it mirrored.08:58
ubuntujenkinshow do we do that? get other people to haev it on there servers?08:59
ubuntujenkinshumphreybc/ any one have you any good ideas for a ppa to use in the screenshot, ideally something a new user would find fun/useful08:59
ubuntujenkinsI have no clue on download figures at all09:00
artnayhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual/ubuntu-manual/main/files/head%3A/screenshots/ there will be more dirs (named after country ISO code?), right? so in translations if we have \setmaxscreenshot{screenshots/en/02-blank-desktop.png} - we only change the en dir to own language, right?09:03
godbykartnay: Just leave that line alone in the translations.09:04
godbykIt gets updated automatically by LaTeX at run-time.09:04
godbykWell, compile-time, rather.09:04
godbykI thought I had a note about that someplace.09:04
* godbyk looks09:04
godbykoh, I don't.09:05
godbykI'll fix that.09:05
artnay\SI{384}{\mega\byte} of system memory (\smallcaps{RAM}) will the units be translated automatically?09:12
godbykartnay: \SI{384}{\mega\byte} will look like "384 MB" in the text.  If you're not using the SI units, then you will need to delete the whole \SI command and write in your translation.09:24
godbyk(\SI can't handle other languages.)09:24
nisshhhey09:27
nisshhhumphreybc: did you get my mugshot?09:28
artnaygodbyk: ok. what about CC license, will it stay in English?09:41
godbykWe're going to pull translated CC licenses from the CC website.09:42

godbykG'night, all!10:15
humphreybchey team, what's new?10:52
thorwilhumphreybc: hi! do you know from memory if David Nel is being credited in the manual, or should i check?11:08
humphreybcHe's not being credited at the moment11:09
humphreybcDo you think he should be?11:09
thorwilhumphreybc: yes, for the idea to use icons on the cover. and the mouse pointer11:09
humphreybcokay11:10
humphreybcwe can add him in, no probs11:10
humphreybcremind me around RC :P11:10
* humphreybc is excited to try quickshot, damnit11:20
ubuntujenkinshumphreybc: we built a package of it last night12:38
humphreybc;D12:39
humphreybccan you give me some more information on the live CD?12:39
humphreybchow have you managed to fit all the translations + quickshot + Ubuntu?12:39
ubuntujenkinseasily :-P it might be bigger than a cd not sure on the final size12:40
donri"no apps to shoot" ;)12:40
ubuntujenkinsI could remove the apps we don't need12:40
humphreybcyeah12:40
humphreybcthat could work12:40

* ubuntujenkins is building another live cd14:35
Red_HamsterXubuntujenkins, regarding text bugs (most of which were my fault, since I forgot it was pango markup), no, I've adressed everything I saw in the normal use cases.15:37
Red_HamsterXI haven't gone over the full script, but I didn't change anything outside of the normal path.15:38
Red_HamsterXI've updated stuff in the EtherPad.15:38
ubuntujenkinsbrilliant  i fixed a text wrap problem this morning i didn't want to mess up your editing15:38
Red_HamsterX(All the old data was way outdated, so I scrapped it and started fresh)15:38
Red_HamsterXI was already asleep.15:39
Red_HamsterXThe textwrap issue was probably my fault.15:39
Red_HamsterXBut I worked out a few flow issues and everything now seems to work like it's supposed to.15:39
ubuntujenkinsdoesn't matter15:39
ubuntujenkinsgood good15:39
Red_HamsterXi.e., once I start populating the manifest with real data, we could actually start using this internally.15:39
Red_HamsterX(It's not ready to give to others yet, though, as you're well aware)15:40
ubuntujenkinswoo I am trying to get the live cd back to a cd15:40
ubuntujenkinsnot a dvd15:40
Red_HamsterXLiveUSB!15:40
Red_HamsterX>.>15:40
ubuntujenkinswell ben said that it should be a cd15:40
ubuntujenkinsI will make a ppa tonight15:41
ubuntujenkinsdaily build ppa15:41
ubuntujenkinsbefore it it built you have to remove some bits of code15:41
Red_HamsterXWhich?15:43
Red_HamsterXWe may be able to remove them outright or make them conditional.15:44
ubuntujenkinslines 206 -215 ....15:45
ubuntujenkinsand change 251-25515:45
ubuntujenkinssome how that live cd was bigger15:47
ubuntujenkinssome of 206-215 may change not remove15:48
Red_HamsterXWe could definitely sidestep that with a conditional.16:12
Red_HamsterXSomething like a 'DEVELOPMENT_MODE' flag.16:12
Red_HamsterXWhich could itself be set by the build script.16:12
ubuntujenkinswow thats so cool I will work out which lines chnage to what as i wrote it it shall be easy.16:14
Red_HamsterXI can implement it later, if you'd like.16:15
Red_HamsterXI'll try to create the manifest entries today.16:15
Red_HamsterX(With dummy text, to be updated as we do our test runs)16:16
ubuntujenkinsthat would be great, i will look at which lines need to change and what to.16:16
Red_HamsterXI should probably also add a function to let the user look at the latest pending screencap, so they can decide whether an updated one needs to be submitted.16:16
ubuntujenkinscool i am off for a bit. will talk later16:17
Red_HamsterXI'll start moving your sample screenshots to the server as I write entries.16:18
Red_HamsterXHave fun with life. =P16:18
ubuntujenkinsand you bye all o/16:18
ubuntujenkinsafternoon all18:28
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401958/  these are the line numbers and what they should change to18:44
ubuntujenkinsfor release18:44
ubuntujenkinsalso suggested in or first question was to remove the user when we remove the quickshot package18:46
* ubuntujenkins gggrrrr another icon changed in lucid18:49
Red_HamsterXDo you have the package stuff set up to apply patches automatically?18:56
ubuntujenkinsasuming you are on about quickshot all i do quickly package18:57
* ubuntujenkins is thinking about packages on live cd18:58
Red_HamsterXHmm... I just thinking about a way to automate toggling the flag to avoid the possibility of us forgetting to set it.18:58
Red_HamsterXI'm*18:59
ubuntujenkinswould it be work that we run a flag to run it under devolpment, and if we run quickly run it runs normally?18:59
Red_HamsterXOh, yeah, that would work fine.19:00
Red_HamsterXIf it gets a --debug flag, run in debug mode...19:00
Red_HamsterXdebug/development19:00
ubuntujenkinswhich would work like we run it now19:00
Red_HamsterXActually, it should probably have both flags.19:00
Red_HamsterX'Cause then I could suppress its prints.19:01
Red_HamsterXOr I should integrate logging...19:01
ubuntujenkinsor you can add a flag to the quickshot.desktop.in file19:01
Red_HamsterXI mean in the optparse rules.19:01
ubuntujenkinsi like the idea of a --devel flag19:02
Red_HamsterXSame.19:02
Red_HamsterXBut I think we should have a separate --debug flag.19:02
ubuntujenkinsSame19:02
Red_HamsterXI'll add logging to the system so we don't have to mess with conditionals for pintouts.19:03
ubuntujenkinsthank you I need to get around to understanding more of this when my exams are over19:03
* ubuntujenkins hopes this live cd is smalll enough19:04
ubuntujenkins717mb lets see whats missing19:05
ubuntujenkinsfail only got a command line :$19:06
Red_HamsterXtiteuf_87, check the EtherPad. I made note of what I worked on last night.19:08
Red_HamsterXI'm going to add --debug and --devel flags as soon as I have a break.19:09
titeuf_87Ok.19:09
titeuf_87I just pulled the latest version to fix those issues I still had last night.19:09
Red_HamsterX(And make use of the logging module so we can print as much stuff as we want)19:09
titeuf_87But the glade file looks wrong? I see the menu on the left, the text in the middle, image on the right as if the vbox is a hbox.19:09
titeuf_87It works fine when I run quickshot though.19:09
ubuntujenkinsglade is anoying at times19:10
Red_HamsterXI don't think I touched anything that would affect it.19:10
ubuntujenkinsI don't think you effected anything Red_HamsterX19:11
titeuf_87You two both use Lucid right?19:11
ubuntujenkinsyep19:11
Red_HamsterXFor testing, yes.19:11
ubuntujenkinsmain a machine19:11
titeuf_87I'm on Karmic, could be cause the glade file got changed with a newer version of glade/quickly?19:12
Red_HamsterXIt could be a Glade bug.19:13
ubuntujenkinspossibly i am on version 3.6.719:13
titeuf_87Ah same version for me.19:13
ubuntujenkinswhich window looks strange19:13
titeuf_87All of them.19:13
ubuntujenkinsonly user setup, resolution change, no change and success look stange to me19:14
ubuntujenkinsshot check looks small19:14
titeuf_87Aha, latest commit on quickshot removed orientation=vertical from a lot of vboxes in the glade file. Setting those back fix the glade issue.19:16
ubuntujenkinsmy bad19:17
ubuntujenkinsall i did was change the text wrap of one box19:17
ubuntujenkinsI was really careful19:17
titeuf_87of which one?19:17
titeuf_87I'll get back an older revision so that it's fixed if that's the only change you did.19:18
ubuntujenkinsusersetup19:18
titeuf_87ah set the maximum width there right?19:18
ubuntujenkinsto width in chariters -119:19
ubuntujenkins*characters19:19
Red_HamsterXOh. There's already a bit of logging stuff.19:19
Red_HamsterXI'll just expand on that.19:19
titeuf_87How do you grab a specific revision with bzr?19:22
ubuntujenkins bzr revert [FILE...]19:23
ubuntujenkins              Revert files to a previous revision.19:23
ubuntujenkinsis what man says to revet a file19:23
ubuntujenkinsor bzr pull  bzr revert [FILE...]19:24
ubuntujenkins              Revert files to a previous revision.19:24
titeuf_87Aha, got it, thanks!19:24
ubuntujenkinsscrap that19:24
titeuf_87bzr revert QuickshotWindow.ui -r-2 did the trick for me.19:24
Red_HamsterXYou can use diff with -r.19:28
ubuntujenkinswhat else can i remove from a live cd?19:30
ubuntujenkinsopenoffice.org-core openoffice* pitivi gedit compiz* gnome-utils transmission* gnome-games-common gbrainy openssh-client rsync bzr apport apport-gtk fakeroot gcalctool gnome-screensaver vino nano samba* fakeroot gstreamer* jockey* gparted is the list so far19:31
ubuntujenkinshow much of that gets installed back in when i install f-spot firefox totem rhythmbox evolution empathy brasero software-center gwibber light-themes tomboy  I am not 100% sure19:32
titeuf_87The list of what to remove?19:32
ubuntujenkinspackages from the live cd, ben wants it as a cd not a dvd/usb19:32
ubuntujenkinsexamples19:33
ubuntujenkinsthat can go19:33
titeuf_87I'm not sure what all needs to stay for screenshots, but I would guess samba, rsync, bzr, apport can go from that list.19:34
ubuntujenkinsthats the list of stuff already removed19:34
ubuntujenkinsthe programs that are needed are listed in the next line19:35
titeuf_87I'm not exactly sure what else can go, not really familiar with what's all installed on the livecd.19:37
titeuf_87Do you miss a lot of space on it?19:37
ubuntujenkinsi need an extrat 100 -50 mb from it19:37
ubuntujenkinsjust adding the language packs totals to about 880mb19:37
Red_HamsterXKill gnome themes?19:37
titeuf_87That's a lot for a cd. Hmm, any of the help files?19:38
ubuntujenkinswe have a screenshot of the help home page and the theme page19:38
ubuntujenkinshelp was my firts thought19:38
Red_HamsterX:(19:38
ubuntujenkinscups19:38
titeuf_87Any other *-doc packages that could go?19:39
ubuntujenkinsI will have a look19:39
ubuntujenkinsxorg-docs-core can go19:39
ubuntujenkinsubuntu docs is a whole 256mb on the hard disk19:40
ubuntujenkinsdoes anyone read it?19:40
titeuf_87That's actually installed on the livecd too?19:40
Red_HamsterXNope.19:40
ubuntujenkinsthe live cd un compressed is about 2.4 gb19:41
ubuntujenkinslets see if i have agui this time19:46
ubuntujenkinso we need to kill nm-applet before we login to the quickshot user and then start it in the quickshot user, as you can only haev one session of it running19:48
titeuf_87Why not just use the default ubuntu user on the livecd?19:50
titeuf_87That way we won't have to logout/login again from a livecd, which I assume would be slow.19:50
ubuntujenkinswe can do but that applies to when you are not in the live cd as well and a program change for the livecd also the desktop screenshots will have ubuntu as the user name. I wanted ben to let me change the user name to ubuntu rather than quickshot19:52
ubuntujenkinsthe name thing is pick though19:52
ubuntujenkins*picky19:52
ubuntujenkinsme being19:52
titeuf_87If quickshot is running as the quickshot user, or the ubuntu one, then we can take screenshots, otherwise make the quickshot user?19:53
ubuntujenkinstrue, I think we should make that change, how can we make quickshot launch automatically for the live cd? Can we remove the icons on the desktop?19:54
titeuf_87same way we make quickshot launch automatically when we login as the quickshot user?19:55
titeuf_87By adding it in the .profile in the home dir.19:56
ubuntujenkinsnope because you have to be able to write to the .profile file the ubuntu user is generated each boot19:56
titeuf_87Ah. Worst case we can add a quickshot icon on the desktop or ask to launch quickshot from the applications menu.19:57
ubuntujenkinsit appears in the accessories menu19:58
titeuf_87Red_HamsterX, your first issue you noted about the quickshot dir belonging to the quickshot user: I don't think that'll be an issue once quickshot is released as it'll be installed from a deb?20:01
Red_HamsterXtiteuf_87, you're right. And it's more of an annoyance than a problem.20:03
dakerhi @all20:12
ubuntujenkinshello daker20:13
dakerfine ?20:14
ubuntujenkinsyes I am good you?20:14
dakervery tired, I passed two exams20:16
ubuntujenkinswwwoooooo well done20:16
ubuntujenkinsI have to reboot i will be back20:16

dakerand now I'm in holidays20:20
ubuntujenkinsindeed this live cd is anoying, i am as well, lots of work to do though20:21
ubuntujenkinsjaminday: are you editing?20:21
ubuntujenkinsis any one editing the manual now? I would like to add the last screenshots20:37
Red_HamsterXubuntujenkins, do you know, offhand, what 'screenshotstore' is in Quickshot?20:39
Red_HamsterX(What type of object)20:39
titeuf_87Red_HamsterX, it's a liststore20:39
ubuntujenkinstiteuf_87: beat me had to check first20:39
Red_HamsterXAh.20:40
Red_HamsterXMakes sense.20:40
Red_HamsterXI'm going to hide finalized items and make the first not-submitted one the default choice.20:40
Red_HamsterXJust to streamline the process a bit.20:40
Red_HamsterXWhen they're all accounted for, the user should probably be prompted. So they don't keep searching for something to do.20:41
titeuf_87Take a look at screenshotinfo_update, this gets run every time the screenshot list window is shown.20:42
Red_HamsterXYep. That's where I'm working.20:42
titeuf_87I did some changes in there just a little bit ago, you got those?20:42
titeuf_87Changed so that it only retrieves the list once from the server.20:43
Red_HamsterXPulling now.20:43
Red_HamsterXNo, I don't seem to have your changes... though the file was updated.20:44
titeuf_87Weird, it shows up in launchpad, change happened in revision 105.20:46
Red_HamsterXI've got r106...20:47
Red_HamsterXDoesn't look like the branches diverged...20:48
titeuf_87Yeah, that was a commit right after that one where I fixed a silly mistake of mine.20:48
titeuf_87line 331 is "if self.screeshots is None:" ?20:48
Red_HamsterXOh.20:49
Red_HamsterXDuh.20:49
Red_HamsterXOkay, it's there.20:50
titeuf_87Hehe, ok :)20:50
Red_HamsterXThanks. :)20:50

ubuntujenkinstrying to do to many things at once21:11
dakerthorwil, you send it where ?21:12
thorwildaker: your manual address21:15
dakeroh spam21:16
dakerwe need the logo with transparent background pls thorwil21:19
dakeri will be back21:20
godbykOkay, I'm alive again.  (Somewhat.)21:20
ubuntujenkinshello godbyk do you have a strange sleeping pattern?21:20
thorwildaker: ok, send, too21:22
godbykubuntujenkins: yes, quite.  I'm in the US/Central time zone.21:23
godbykI went to sleep this morning at about 8 a.m. and woke up at about 3 p.m.21:23
ubuntujenkinslol, any suggestions on what else to remove from the live cd need 44mb of space21:24
godbykLet to its own devices, my sleep time seems to keep moving later and later.21:24
godbykHmm..21:24
godbykWe can remove pretty much any of the apps we're *not* taking screenshots of, right?21:25
ubuntujenkinsdone most of them openoffice21:25
ubuntujenkinswent and games21:25
godbykCrazy-ancient kernel modules that no one uses?21:27
godbykThe printer database is pretty big, I expect.  Did you remove all the printing stuff?21:27
ubuntujenkinsyep printing is gone, kernel gets complex not sure thats worth the effort21:27
ubuntujenkinsunless the are apt-get21:28
godbykprobably not separate packages21:28
ubuntujenkinsthough as much21:28
godbykyou could remove all the sound stuff, probably.21:28
ubuntujenkinsi did but installing rytham box brings it back21:28
godbykcrap.21:28
godbykcan you create a list of all the packages that are still there?21:29
godbykI can skim through it and see if something pops out.21:29
ubuntujenkinsi will do next build, that would be good thanks it is mid build at the moment21:30
ubuntujenkinsso glad i scripted this21:30
godbykgotcha.21:30
godbykI'm *always* glad after I've scripted something.21:30
godbykIt seems to pay off every time.21:30
ubuntujenkinsI have done about 20 builds today21:30
godbykhow long does it take to build?21:33
godbykand is the process of customizing a live cd pretty easy these days?21:33
ubuntujenkinsabout 40 mins allowing for changes, its easy once you have a script uck is suppose to make it easy but it breaks for me. the wiki on it is good21:34
dakerthorwil, spam again :)21:34
thorwildang! :)21:34
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: where would you like the list?21:35
godbykHow big is it? You could just email it to me at kevin@ubuntu-manual.org if you like.21:36
godbykif you want to put it up so everyone can gawk, maybe drop it in an etherpad?21:36
ubuntujenkinsetherpad21:36
godbykfair enough.21:36
ubuntujenkinsevery one suggest things have a look at and see what we can remove http://etherpad.com/hRCjx2Yu2G21:38
ubuntujenkinsirc so nearly got spamed like mad with over 1000 lines21:38
godbyklol21:39
godbykanacron21:40
godbykapp-install-data* ?21:40
godbykapparmor21:40
godbykaptdaemon21:40
godbykat21:40
godbykat-spi (and all the accessibility stuff)21:41
ubuntujenkinsaccessibility has to stay21:41
godbykbc21:41
ubuntujenkinsscreenshot21:41
godbykrats21:41
godbyk'cause that probably would've been a big one. :)21:41
godbykwhat did you use to generate the list?21:42
godbykcan we have the list of packages and their sizes? sort by size and see if that's faster21:42
ubuntujenkinsdpkg -l >> packages i couldn't rember the other way21:42
dakerubuntujenkins, "The requested version of the Ubuntu Manual is not yet released." is it correct ?21:45
ubuntujenkinsin what manner?21:45
dakerspelling21:45
ubuntujenkinsus english or uk english21:46
dakerin my english :)21:46
ubuntujenkinsits fine21:46
godbykubuntujenkins: try: dpkg-query -W -f='${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -nr21:47
dakeroki21:47
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: I will in a bit i started it going again21:47
godbykbah!21:47
godbyk:)21:47
ubuntujenkinsit takes so long...21:47
ubuntujenkins;P21:47
godbykwow.. I have a package libopensg-doc that's 8 times larger than the kernel image.21:48
ubuntujenkinswhats that one do?21:49
godbykit's the documentation for the OpenSG library.21:49
ubuntujenkinsthats going as well then21:49
godbykOpenSG is a scenegraph library. (Used with graphics.)21:49
dakerdutchie, !!!21:49
godbykWell, it's not in your system.21:49
godbykIt's only in my system.21:49
ubuntujenkinso dam21:49
godbykGood try, though! :)21:50
ubuntujenkinsright got all of the screenshots in21:50
ubuntujenkinsbuild is finished and still 44mb to find22:00
godbykIf you update the etherpad with the sorted list, we can see what else there is to remove.22:01
ubuntujenkinsI will start it off again and let you know when it is updated22:01
godbykAw, man.. this book on amazon costs $20, but I need to spend $25 to get free shipping.  Oh, whatever shall I do?  <grin>22:02
godbykk22:02
ubuntujenkinsby more stuff22:02
ubuntujenkins*buy22:02
godbykyeah, the super-saver shipping is just an excuse for me to buy more books.  twist my arm, why don't ya, amazon!22:03
godbyk(they know I don't need much of an excuse!)22:03
dakeri will be back22:03
ubuntujenkinsits only £5 now for supersaver it use to be £1522:04
ubuntujenkinsI still have to pack my dad is picking me up from uni in less than 10 hours and i need sleep22:05
* ubuntujenkins the manual has all the english screenshots in it rev 60222:14
manualbothttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/revision/602 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual -r 60222:14
ubuntujenkinsthank you manualbot22:14
godbykubuntujenkins: awesome!22:14
ubuntujenkinsI am glad we are not doing all the rest manualy22:15
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX: is it possible to define what the file names are for each screenshot?22:18
Red_HamsterX?22:18
Red_HamsterXWhat do you mean?22:18
ubuntujenkinswell if i am right the first screenshot of the install must always be called 01-live-cd-welcome.png otherwise laytex will not find it. am i right godbyk22:20
godbykubuntujenkins: well, I just need to know the name of a screenshot that is a full-screen shot (e.g., the entire desktop).22:20
Red_HamsterXOh, yes, that's the purpose of the manifest dictionary.22:20
godbykthat's what I key off of to get the scaling factor.22:20
godbykso you can name it whatever you like.22:20
godbykI just need to know what the name is in the end, so I can set the scaling factor.22:21
Red_HamsterX"gedit-welcome" is just something I made up.22:21
godbyk(alternatively, you can create a dummy graphic that has the same width as the widest screenshot and I can use that instead.)22:21
Red_HamsterXA dummy graphic in the common branch would probably work for that.22:21
ubuntujenkins02-blank-desktop.png is the full desktop22:21
ubuntujenkinsbut what i mean is we the french version of the screenshot must be called the same as the english one right?22:22
godbykthe file names of the screenshots should be the same across all languages, too.22:22
ubuntujenkinsthats what i thought22:23
godbykso 02-blank-desktop.png should be the file name regardless of the language.22:23
Red_HamsterXAnd that's how the system is set up to work.22:23
godbykcool22:23
Red_HamsterXWhen the zipfile is generated, the language and timestamp stuffis stripped.22:24
ubuntujenkinswwwooo22:24
Red_HamsterXI'm going to go test today's changes.22:24
Red_HamsterXI'll start building the manifest based on your sample screencaps in a few hours.22:24
Red_HamsterXIt should be done sometime tomorrow, assuming I don't get distracted by taxes.22:25
Red_HamsterXOh, wait. I forgot something.22:25
ubuntujenkinsthanks I am working on a daily ppa22:26
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: etherpad is updates22:26
ubuntujenkins*updated22:26
ubuntujenkinshttp://etherpad.com/hRCjx2Yu2G22:26
godbykubuntujenkins: linux-firmware?22:26
ubuntujenkinswhats it do?22:27
godbykFirmware for Linux kernel drivers22:27
godbyk This package provides firmware used by Linux kernel drivers.22:27
godbyksays it's optional22:27
ubuntujenkinsgoing22:27
godbykand we don't care about most devices that require firmware, I don't think.22:27
godbykdo we really need libc6-dev?22:27
godbykwe're not compiling or building anything are we?22:28
ubuntujenkinsnope22:28
godbykwhat's using perl and perl-modules?22:28
ubuntujenkinsI am adding these to the current build and will not set it going untilll it is done. not sure don't think so22:28
godbykdo we mention tomboy in the manual?22:28
ubuntujenkinsyes22:29
Red_HamsterXPerl is a dependency of a lot ofstuff...22:29
Red_HamsterXof stuff*22:29
godbykfigures22:29
godbykanything we need?22:29
Red_HamsterXProbably.22:29
ubuntujenkinsmost of the basic programs22:30
ubuntujenkins f-spot firefox totem rhythmbox evolution empathy brasero software-center gwibber light-themes tomboy22:30
godbykstrange.22:30
godbykwe don't need make, do we?22:31
ubuntujenkinsno...22:31
godbykor manpages22:31
ubuntujenkinsnope22:31
Red_HamsterXIf we don't need make, we can scrap gcc, too, right?22:31
godbykprobably22:31
Red_HamsterXAnd things like m4.22:31
Red_HamsterXIf that's in there.22:31
godbykand autotools if they're there22:31
ubuntujenkinswhat line are we reading?22:31
godbyklooks like gcc is there22:32
godbykautotools aren't there22:32
ubuntujenkinsgrep can go22:32
godbykwe don't need vinagre22:32
godbykare you still using grep from an exec call?22:33
ubuntujenkinsdon't think so22:33
ubuntujenkinsI removed any grep i put in22:33
godbykfile-roller?22:33
godbykis seahorse required?22:34
godbykaptitude?22:34
ubuntujenkinsI know none of these at all, except aptitude22:34
godbykubuntu-docs is huge!22:34
Red_HamsterXfile-roller is the archival utility.22:34
godbykseahorse is a gui for gpg22:35
ubuntujenkinswe have a screenshot for yelp22:35
Red_HamsterXIsn't ubuntu-docs a requirement of ubuntu-desktop?22:35
ubuntujenkinsseahorse can go22:35
godbykdid you remove all but the default theme?22:35
Red_HamsterXWe have screenshots of the themes window.22:35
godbykrats22:35
Red_HamsterXThat's what I thought, too.22:35
Red_HamsterXOh, what about the sample data?22:35
godbyklinux-libc-dev22:35
Red_HamsterXThe music and documents.22:35
godbykmanpages-dev22:36
Red_HamsterXAnything -dev can probably be scrapped.22:36
ubuntujenkinsI think i removed the samples22:36
godbykdnsutils22:36
godbykubuntu-sounds22:36
Red_HamsterXDoesn't resolver depend on dnsutils?22:36
godbykhplip-data is for printing. can we yank that?22:37
Red_HamsterXOh, no.22:37
Red_HamsterXIt's removable.22:37
Red_HamsterX(dnsutils, I mean)22:37
Red_HamsterXWhy don't I try ripping these out of my Lucid system to see?22:37
godbykdnsutils only has dig, nslookup, and nsupdate.22:38
godbyknot used by anything except sysadmins, afaik.22:38
Red_HamsterXdnsutils breaks gnome-nettool (which we probably aren't covering).22:38
Red_HamsterXYeah, no normal user would need it.22:38
ubuntujenkinswe are covering nm-applet22:38
godbykoh, well, yank that, too, then. :)22:38
Red_HamsterXnm != nettool22:38
godbykright.22:39
Red_HamsterXnettool is the GUI for doing network testing.22:39
godbyknettool is a gui for ifconfig ping netstatus traceroute, etc.22:39
Red_HamsterXnm is the thing Canonical is supposed to be getting back to me about.22:39
godbykwhat about it?22:39
ubuntujenkinsso do we need dnsutils?22:39
* Red_HamsterX rages at how long it takes for them to do anything.22:39
godbykubuntujenkins: nope. kill dnsutils22:39
Red_HamsterXdnsutils can be dropped.22:39
godbykand gnome-nettools22:40
Red_HamsterXIt's removed as a consequence.22:40
Red_HamsterXBroken dependency.22:40
godbykgotcha22:40
godbykany idea how much more space we need to free up?22:40
Red_HamsterXI don't see hplib-data on my Lucid box.22:40
godbykcan we kill linux-headers-* ?22:41
godbykwe're not compiling modules against the kernel.22:41
Red_HamsterXI don't think so.22:41
Red_HamsterXWe may need them for disper.22:41
ubuntujenkinsas much as possible, if someone adds a language....22:41
Red_HamsterXThough I don';t actually know how disper works.22:41
Red_HamsterXMaybe it's binary.22:41
ubuntujenkinsall i know is it works :-)22:41
Red_HamsterXIf it's source, we may need gcc after all.22:42
godbyklooks like disper is python22:42
ubuntujenkinsI will add disper and check22:42
Red_HamsterXI meant the modules it installs.22:42
Red_HamsterXActually... What does it do?22:42
godbykdoesn't depend on the kernel headers22:42
Red_HamsterXI know it's related to nvidia...22:42
godbykit changes the screen res.22:43
ubuntujenkinswraps xrandr up for nvidia22:43
Red_HamsterXThat's it?22:43
Red_HamsterXIgnore me, then.22:43
godbyklet's see how close that gets us first.22:44
godbykthen we can kill more stuff if we need to.22:44
ubuntujenkinsrigth well we don't want to remove something there22:45
ubuntujenkinshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/402071/22:46
godbykbinary search.22:47
godbyksplit the list in half and try it22:47
godbykthen keep splitting in half 'til you find the culprit22:47
Red_HamsterXBinary searching's for chumps.22:48
* Red_HamsterX greedy algorithms.22:48
ubuntujenkinsits perl22:49
Red_HamsterXThat makes sense.22:49
Red_HamsterXGiven that everytthing requires perl.22:49
ubuntujenkinslol22:49
ubuntujenkinsWARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.22:50
ubuntujenkinsThis should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!22:50
ubuntujenkins  grep22:50
ubuntujenkins0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 28 to remove and 2 not upgraded.22:50
ubuntujenkinsAfter this operation, 219MB disk space will be freed.22:50
ubuntujenkinsYou are about to do something potentially harmful22:50
ubuntujenkinsTo continue type in the phrase ‘Yes, do as I say!’22:50
Red_HamsterXWhich essential packages?22:50
ubuntujenkinsgrep is important not removing that22:50
Red_HamsterXI don't think you'd save enough space by removing grep to make it worth typing the command.22:51
ubuntujenkinsi don't think it is22:51
godbykright22:51
ubuntujenkinsI am going to get packing to go home22:55
Red_HamsterXI seem to have run into textwrap issues related to labels and the changes I was making. :(22:59
ubuntujenkins:(22:59
Red_HamsterXOh, well.22:59
Red_HamsterXEasy to fix.22:59
Red_HamsterXAlthough...22:59
Red_HamsterXCouldn't we just call .fit() on each window after populating it?23:00
ubuntujenkinsdoes that ake the window bigger?23:00
ubuntujenkins*make23:00
Red_HamsterXProbably, but it'll respect max size hints.23:00
Red_HamsterXOh, well. Save it for later.23:01
Red_HamsterXWhen we have a translated program to worry about and need to rework the windows anyway.23:01
Red_HamsterX(And have a more modular design to make testing easier)23:01
ubuntujenkinscool :-)23:01
ubuntujenkinsits all a bit of a rush togther for thsi release23:02
Red_HamsterXAs long as it works.23:02
ubuntujenkinsexactly23:03
godbykwe'll clean up the design for the next release.23:05
ubuntujenkinswhat version number should this release be?23:06
Red_HamsterXProbaboy 0.1.0 or something.23:07
Red_HamsterXProbably*23:07
ubuntujenkinsthe most important thing :P23:07
Red_HamsterXThat usually means "functional, but without every feature we wanted. Also unsuitable for forking."23:07
ubuntujenkinsthat sounds like a good number then23:07
ubuntujenkinsand the total of the cd is.............23:08
ubuntujenkins702mb23:08
Red_HamsterXSo close...23:09
ubuntujenkinswe lost 40mb so thats really good23:09
ubuntujenkinsjust checking we still have a gui23:09
ubuntujenkinsit fits onto a cd-rw with 678.0kb of space23:10
ubuntujenkinsbut we still haev to get quickshot and disper on it23:10
titeuf_87Weren't we going to not use disper on the livecd and use vesa drivers on there?23:12
ubuntujenkinsgood point disper is not needed in the live cd23:12
ubuntujenkinswe will need a massive DONT INSTALL FROM THIS CD sign next to the download button23:13
ubuntujenkinstiteuf_87: I forget when its this late23:15
godbykcan we just remove the installation stuff from the CD so it *can't* be installed?23:15
godbykthat should save space, too23:15
ubuntujenkinssomebody.... no names wants install screenshots23:16
ubuntujenkinssame person who wanted the wubi one23:16
titeuf_87could comment out the last part of the installation that actually does it maybe?23:17
Red_HamsterXI'd imagine installing is an extensively documented process already...23:18
Red_HamsterXProbably a bit too late in this document's livfecycle to bring that up, though.23:18
ubuntujenkinsas long as we see alll install windows the first slide of the install and the "restart now" window I don't mind23:18
Red_HamsterXtiteuf_87, there's a new function that lets users pull the last-uploaded screenshot from the server into a pixbuf.23:18
Red_HamsterXAnd your local caching thing seems to be working perfectly.23:19
Red_HamsterXI'm going to nuke the data/ directory on my server so we can start fresh.23:19
titeuf_87Right now I loaded it from a filename right?23:19
Red_HamsterXNo.23:19
Red_HamsterXIt's Pixbuf for the reference.23:20
ubuntujenkinsanyone a quickly expert who can help with ppas?23:20
Red_HamsterXThis is so they can see what was uploaded before.23:20
Red_HamsterXIn case they need to update a screenshot.23:20
titeuf_87Ah ok.23:20
Red_HamsterXIt's a nice-to-have thing.23:20
ubuntujenkinsI can't find the quickshot devs group23:20
Red_HamsterXNot something you have to implement if you don't have time.23:20
Red_HamsterXIt seems we're nearing the point at which we can actually do real testing, though. :)23:21
Red_HamsterXThank you very much for your work.23:21
Red_HamsterXI hate writing GUIs.23:21
titeuf_87I can add that in tomorrow, right now I'm getting a bit too tired.23:21
ubuntujenkinsthank you both for your work, i would have got no where23:21
Red_HamsterXNo hurry.23:21
Red_HamsterXIt's just a "This could be useful" thing.23:22
Red_HamsterXSpawn a new window when a button is clicked.23:22
Red_HamsterXIt'll probably be unused by 99% of the users.23:22
Red_HamsterXOh, and I peppered the thing with debug messages.23:22
Red_HamsterXUse --debug to see them.23:22
Red_HamsterXAnd use --devel if you need to install Quickshot.23:23
Red_HamsterX(The absence of --devel implies that it was installed from a .deb, which ubuntujenkins is working on now)23:23
Red_HamsterXAlso, you're welcome, ubuntujenkins. I just wish I had more time for this cycle.23:23
titeuf_87--devel pulls the latest version from bzr?23:23
Red_HamsterX--devel makes things work they way they've been working 'til now.23:24
ubuntujenkinsso close I can get it to my personal ppa not the quickshot devs which is where i want it23:24
Red_HamsterXLEt's see...23:24
ubuntujenkinsgetting help from #ubuntu-app-devel23:25
Red_HamsterXThat'll probably be faster than me poking around the docs.23:25
ubuntujenkinsthats where i found titeuf_87 bet he regrets the day he helped me :-P23:26
titeuf_87oh right23:27
titeuf_87with that counter thing23:27
ubuntujenkinsyep indeed23:27
Red_HamsterXhumphreybc just wandered into #python and asked if anyone wanted to help with Ubuntu-Manual. He provided no other details.23:27
Red_HamsterXSomehow, I ended up here.23:27
Red_HamsterXWriting PHP.23:27
titeuf_87that reminds me, I've reworked it in an acire snippet, just forgot to publish it yet23:27
ubuntujenkinsthat took me a week23:27
ubuntujenkinsit took titeuf_87 20 minutes23:28
titeuf_87Who started quickshot actually?23:28
ubuntujenkinshumphreybc23:29
Red_HamsterXIt started itself.23:29
ubuntujenkins(ben)23:29
ubuntujenkinshis idea he did the first gui stuff then TommyBrunn started it and i started as a "tester only" where my words23:29
Red_HamsterXYeah... Things don't work out so well for testers.23:30
Red_HamsterXEspecially in my projects.23:30
dakergodbyk,23:31
ubuntujenkinsi am not much of coder but i can do some python now23:31
ubuntujenkinsthe list on etherpad is up to date again http://etherpad.com/hRCjx2Yu2G23:31
Red_HamsterXhttp://uguu.ca/uguusoft/ultra-tank-chan/ The other two who worked on it were just "testers" when I proposed the idea.23:31
Red_HamsterXOne of them learned XML analysis techniques from it.23:32
ubuntujenkinsnice wish i had more time all this uni stuff23:32
Red_HamsterXThat was my university pre-graduation-semester project.23:33
Red_HamsterXI only worked on it in classes.23:33
Red_HamsterX(Useless things, like Anthropology)23:33
titeuf_87I'm glad to be done with all this :)23:33
ubuntujenkinsthats amazing, what did you study if you don't mind me asking23:34
Red_HamsterXUniversity?23:34
Red_HamsterXOr Quickshot?23:34
titeuf_87Well college for me.23:34
Red_HamsterXAI major, linguistics minor.23:34
Red_HamsterXHence crazy things like http://uguu.ca/ar-sphaela/hymmnoserver/23:34
ubuntujenkinscool, we don't do minors23:35
ubuntujenkinsI really want to remove the screenshot of help its so anoying23:36
Red_HamsterXBecause it costs so much apce and it doesn't really do anything?23:36
ubuntujenkinsyep23:36
Red_HamsterXSince you're reading a manual.23:36
Red_HamsterXSo you don't really need online help.23:36
ubuntujenkins269mb and the screenshot is awful23:36
ubuntujenkinshave you looked at help recently?23:37
dakerubuntujenkins, http://test.ubuntu-manual.org/?lang=he23:37
ubuntujenkinsoo daker we can choose our languages23:37
Red_HamsterXThe last time I looked at help was when I was writing the section on installing and managing packages in 2005.23:37
dakeryes23:37
