humphreybclol00:31
* humphreybc is off to grab a coffee and toast00:32
godbykubuntujenkins: I'm don't understand the xindy thing. It's basically running a test and deciding that the test failed for some reason (though I don't know why).00:32
godbykIt looks to be adding some numbers.. and it does so correctly, but still doesn't like it.00:32
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: hmm is there another way to do it?00:33
godbykI don't now.00:33

doctormohumphreybc: I _really_ wish you had asked me to do (or peer review) your open source definition, it's got loads of errors in it.02:58
IlyaHaykinsonwoohoo02:58
godbykdoctormo: With regards to the CC license?02:58
doctormoPage 14102:58
IlyaHaykinsonhey, how's it possible that we ended up releasing before lucid? ;-)02:58
IlyaHaykinsondoctormo, I agree, it's weak.02:59
IlyaHaykinsonif you can file a bug, we'll fix it in lucid-e202:59
godbykYeah, we'd definitely like to improve it for the second edition.02:59
doctormoI'm trying to find a good reaction service online so I can quickly show you all the errors.02:59
epkugelmassIlyaHaykinson, speaking of which, we need more releases for the e2 series02:59
IlyaHaykinsonthere are a lot of other factual errors in there, for sure -- some that we know about; some that we don't.03:00
IlyaHaykinsonepkugelmass, you mean e1.1, e1.2, etc?03:00
epkugelmassbasically03:00
epkugelmassa beta and rc at least03:00
IlyaHaykinsonyes.03:00
godbykI think we just haven't set up the e2 release stuff yet.03:00
godbykWe'll be doing that this coming week.03:00
epkugelmassok. i've been dealing with bugs and targeting them to the only release available03:01
dakergodbyk, when lucid e2 will be released ?03:01
IlyaHaykinsonsure, i think that's fine. we'll triage all the bugs.03:01
IlyaHaykinsondaker, July 1 i think03:01
dakergood03:02
doctormoIlyaHaykinson: Actually what I'm more concerned about is that this open source definition is a perpetuation of the usual misinformed open source and free software understanding.03:02
doctormoWe're trying to describe a political, social, technical and legal revolution with "It's charity and free" which is completely what it isn't.03:03
IlyaHaykinsondoctormo, i see it as being mainly weak, incomplete, overly general in some places and very specific in others.03:03
IlyaHaykinsonbut it's not maliciously incorrect.03:03
doctormoNot maliciously.03:04
epkugelmasscan someone please deal with lp:499657 ?03:04
doctormoJust incorrect, inversely so in parts.03:04
IlyaHaykinsoni think that this is a touchy subject, and there's certainly a good way to write this section that is factually correct.03:04
IlyaHaykinsoni would suggest that you file a bug, with some bullet points (or even suggested copy), if you have some time.03:05
IlyaHaykinsonour goal for the second edition is "100% quality", so if something is wrong then we definitely need to fix it.03:05

humphreybcmainly fixing bugs coz Lucid is an LTS03:30

sebsebsebthey won't  bring in new end user features for example03:30
sebsebsebsome changes under the hood sure security updates03:30
humphreybcyeah03:31

sebsebsebsort of interesting03:35
IlyaHaykinsonsebsebseb, the purpose of the printed version is not to make money (we take no cut), but to allow people to have a printed version if they so desire, without printing it themselves.03:35
sebsebsebor not really since, had a launchpad page anyway03:35
IlyaHaykinsonobviously as soon as anything is printed it'd be out of date when we change it.03:35
sebsebsebwho is getting the money for printed version, the publisher?03:35

doctormoBecause hitler just *wasn't perfect* ;-P03:38
humphreybclol03:38
IlyaHaykinsonno, doctormo is right -- not just picky.03:38
IlyaHaykinsonit's just a thorny subject.03:38
humphreybcgodbyk: "More languages will be available next week: English UK, Galician, German & Greek. Other languages will be released over the next few weeks."03:38
humphreybchear that?03:39
godbykHeh.03:39
godbykWe'll see. :)03:39
godbykWe should really give them time to edit their stuff first.03:39
epkugelmassgodbyk, is there anything i can do to help get the translated manuals at the door?03:39
IlyaHaykinsonhumphreybc, well, to be fair i don't think we'll release all 50...03:39
IlyaHaykinsoni think if we get 20 out the door it'll be great.03:39
humphreybcIlyaHaykinson: no we won't03:39
humphreybcyeah03:39
humphreybcokay now we need to go into feedback and research mode03:41
humphreybcthen planning mode03:42
humphreybcWe should encourage reviews of our manual03:42
humphreybcIlyaHaykinson: Could you work with nisshh on developing a survey?03:42
IlyaHaykinsonhumphreybc: no, i don't think this is the right approach03:43
IlyaHaykinsoni've got a meeting with a friend of mine who runs user research03:43
IlyaHaykinsoni think we need to take a step back and design some qualitative research03:44
IlyaHaykinsonuser groups, etc.03:44
doctormoI introduced the manual to all my students today at the community center, they all seemed very interested and left with copies.03:44
IlyaHaykinsonthen, based on that, we will figure out what _quantitative_ research to do03:44
IlyaHaykinsoni.e. how to structure and administer surveys03:44
humphreybcokay03:44
IlyaHaykinsonbut i think the qualitative has to come first.03:44
humphreybcthat sounds good03:44
humphreybcCan I leave it in your capable hands?03:44
IlyaHaykinsonsure. i'll drive it for a while.03:44
IlyaHaykinsonwill let you know when i need help. i'll keep ppl updated, for sure.03:45
humphreybcokay, nisshh is keen to help03:45
humphreybche's eager and motivated, you will be able to find something for him to do :)03:45
epkugelmassIlyaHaykinson, let me know if I can help. I'm a student--plenty of prospective users that I can focus group03:45
IlyaHaykinsonsweet. i'll keep him in the loop after my meetings.03:45
humphreybcgreat03:45
IlyaHaykinsonepkugelmass: thanks. we'll probably need all the help we can get for recruiting.03:45
IlyaHaykinsonbut i first really want to do the design work on the research03:46
humphreybclet's start work on that asap. We need to start thinking about what we can put into 2nd edition, because we don't have much time since we are trying to cram in two releases this cycle.03:46
IlyaHaykinsoni.e. figure out _how_ and _what_ we could do03:46
IlyaHaykinsoni think all the research work will really end up targeting maverick, not lucid-e2.03:47
IlyaHaykinsonit'll take a few weeks to get setup, then more time to get feedback.03:47
IlyaHaykinsonmeanwhile we know what we are missing in lucid-e1, and can start on that immediately03:47
IlyaHaykinsoni think that for lucid-e2 we rely on our own knowledge of _problems_ - i.e. things that are not high quality enough03:48
IlyaHaykinsonand on the community, in reporting bugs03:48
IlyaHaykinsonfor lucid-e2, we would keep the structure of the lucid-e1 manual mainly intact03:48
IlyaHaykinsonbut for maverick, we may end up reorganizing wide swaths of the book if that's what research recommends.03:49
humphreybcIlyaHaykinson: sounds good to me03:49
humphreybcgodbyk: how many people have bought the book from lulu?03:50
godbykhumphreybc: 10 total including yours and Ilya's.03:50
humphreybcgodbyk: not an overwhelming number but that's good03:53
IlyaHaykinsongodbyk: can you check if the Listing & Reading Projects API at http://api.lulu.com/publication/python_tutorial.php returns the number of downloads?03:53
IlyaHaykinsoner, purchases03:53
godbyklemme look03:54
godbykIf so, it'll be another stat to go on the stats.ubuntu-manual.org site that daker and I are working on.  all our stats collected in one place.03:54
godbykIlyaHaykinson: I'm not seeing anything on the particular page about sales/purchases.03:55
godbykLooks like it's more for uploading stuff to their site and getting the results of the project's creation.03:55
IlyaHaykinsonno, but i am wondering if list_projects() may output some stats03:56
IlyaHaykinsonit probably doesn't. it's just a hope.03:56
godbykAh, I see.  Not sure. I'll try it.03:58
IlyaHaykinsonbetter yet, call client.__submit('list', None, None)04:00
godbyktheir code is horrible04:00
IlyaHaykinsonbecause list_projects seems to only extract the list of content_ids, but the result of the list call may return more stuff than that.04:00
IlyaHaykinsonyeah, the code is a bit, um, unhappy04:01

c7phello guys, congratulations :d06:34
godbykHey, c7p. Thanks!06:35
IlyaHaykinsonc7p: thx!06:35
godbyk3700+ downloads06:35
c7poh cool06:35
godbyk(well, that's just the on-screen version)06:35
godbykprint version is another 280 downloads06:35
c7pvery good06:35
godbyk13 copies of the book sold, too06:35
c7pfrom what i see on facebook, you want editors for some languages (Galician, German, Greek)06:38
godbykc7p: Yeah, we'd like a translator in each group (or at least someone who speaks the language well and has a critical eye) to enlist as the editor for that translation06:39
godbykthe translation editors are the ones who will clear the translated manual for release, basically.06:39
godbykmake sure the translations are good, and the formatting is good, etc., etc.06:39
c7pyou mean correct any wrong translations etc ?06:40
godbykhelp correct translations, help out with latex formatting, yeah.06:40
godbykfor instance, I edited the English version that was released today.06:40
godbykmost of the margin notes needed to be moved around a bit.06:40
godbyk.. so that they would line up with the part of the paragraph they referred to.06:41
c7poh06:41
c7pso we'll merge some strings06:41
godbykyeah, probably.06:44
godbykyou can also move the margin notes around by telling it to move it up or down X lines.06:44
c7phow we do this? with latex ?06:45
godbykc7p: That's probably the easiest.06:48
godbykI would wait 'til the translations are proofread.06:48
godbykOnce they're all correct, we can generate a .tex file and move things around as needed.06:48
c7pinteresting06:49
c7pwell g2g06:49
c7pwe will talk sometime today, i hope06:49
humphreybcubuntujenkins: you're up early!~07:08

ubuntujenkinshello humphreybc yes i have lectures. wow thats good plus the mirrors07:09
ubuntujenkinsgood luck07:09
humphreybcdanke!07:10
ubuntujenkinsooo quickshot has a 3 more people who want to join07:11
godbykubuntujenkins: maybe07:13
godbykubuntujenkins: there was a bad link on the website07:13
godbykthat directed people to the quickshot team instead of the ubuntu-manual team07:13
godbykthe link's been fixed.07:13
godbykI've emailed those 4 people to make sure they didn't mean the ubuntu-manual team.07:13
ubuntujenkinsare makes sense thanks godbyk.07:13
godbykI told them if they were interested in quickshot, they should pop into the irc channel and chat up either you or RedHamster_X.07:13
ubuntujenkinscheers07:14
IlyaHaykinson_godbyk: i don't think your website re-pull thing is working07:24
IlyaHaykinson_either that, or there's a caching layer07:24
godbykI'll look07:25
godbykI'm at revno 64, what are you at?07:25
godbykoh! hey, make sure you're making your edits in the test/ dir.07:26
godbykthe main site is point at test/ now.07:26
IlyaHaykinson_er, what?07:30
IlyaHaykinson_really?07:30
godbykyep07:30
IlyaHaykinson_so what's main?07:30
godbykdaker was testing up until the last second (literally) and so we just swapped out the symlink.07:30
IlyaHaykinson_i see. ok.07:31
godbykmain is has lagged behind testing for a few hours.07:31
godbykwe'll eventually set them straight.07:31
godbykbut we were under a bit of pressure, what with humphreybc's random countdown and all. :-)07:31
IlyaHaykinson_ok, pushed the change to test. thx.07:31
godbyknp07:32
godbykI'm trying to figure out why the German translation is harping about a glossary entry now.07:32
godbykIt's claiming there's no description for the Wubi entry.07:32
godbykBut I'm staring right at it.07:32
* godbyk is confused.07:32
IlyaHaykinson_bad character?07:34
godbykNot really sure.07:34
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: may be he means the wubi sin't mentioned in the manaul07:34
godbykhere's the .tex file if you want to stare at it with me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/424427/07:37
godbykI just made a fake wubi entry for now, and it doesn't like that either.07:37
godbykHey, thorwil!07:37
thorwilhi!07:37
ubuntujenkinshello thorwil07:38
godbykWe're at about 5000 downloads and 13 books purchased.07:38
thorwilwow07:38
ubuntujenkinsyey \o/07:38
godbykall in 6.5 hours.07:38
ubuntujenkinsI can't see a problem with the glossary entry07:39
IlyaHaykinson_could it be because it's the last one before the \begin{document}?07:40
IlyaHaykinson_and if you add another (fake) one after wubi, the thing would be complaining about -it- now?07:41
godbykIlyaHaykinson_: Maybe. I'll try.07:41
godbykIlyaHaykinson_: Nice call! I think you're on to something.07:42
godbykIt complained about the new one I added.07:42
godbykOkay, Lemme do some binary searching and narrow this down.07:42
IlyaHaykinson_i think there are too few }s in the glossary section07:43
IlyaHaykinson_161 {s and 126 }s07:43
godbykprobably.07:45
godbykwow07:45
godbykit's that unbalanced?!07:45
thorwilhumphreybc: the announcement is already on the planet thanks to the fridge. do you really think i should repeat that?07:46
IlyaHaykinson_no, i must be mistaken. i don't see how though (script seemed correct)07:46
godbykIlyaHaykinson_: what script are you using?07:47
godbykI used to have one that counted parens, braces, etc. like that, but don't know where it's gotten off to.07:48
IlyaHaykinson_cat glossary-section | tr --complement '{' '\n' | egrep -v '^$' | wc -l07:48
IlyaHaykinson_then the same thing with '}07:48
IlyaHaykinson_'}'07:48
IlyaHaykinson_but clearly i'm wrong07:48
godbykI'll just write up a quick python script. :)07:49
IlyaHaykinson_it's balanced07:52
IlyaHaykinson_fold --bytes --width=1 test | sort | uniq -c | egrep "\{|\}"07:52
IlyaHaykinson_where test has our text07:53
IlyaHaykinson_161 for both { and }07:53
ubuntujenkinsthorwil: humphreybc is at an exam. I guess proabbely best not to spam it with reelases at least one other person has reposted it07:53
thorwilubuntujenkins: yeah, that's what i think07:54
ubuntujenkinsnope they have posted it twice. We have lost 30 faecboook fans from all the posts yesterday07:54
godbykok07:54
IlyaHaykinson_ah, but the whole documen is unbalanced07:56
IlyaHaykinson_lacking a }07:57
godbykany idea where?07:57
godbykbrb07:57
godbykusually latex's good about tell me that.07:58
godbykbut it's not getting past the glossary entries yet.07:58
IlyaHaykinson_run that script on the individual chapter files07:59
godbykback now.08:01
godbykIlyaHaykinson_: there are no individual chapter files for the translations.08:01
IlyaHaykinson_ok hang on i have a system for it. gimme 2 min08:01
godbykthey're all merged into that one huge file.08:01
ChrisWoollardWell done for getting the manual out08:01

godbykIlyaHaykinson_: Yeah, that's where it is08:08
godbykextra { before the \marginnote.08:08
IlyaHaykinson_nod08:08
godbykright.08:09
godbyklet me try to recompile this whole thing again now.08:09
godbyk(so time-consuming, chasing down this little bugs.)08:09
godbykI spent a few hours on it yesterday.08:09
godbykcleared all but this one, I think.08:09
godbykI think our site is getting more hits now than it did when we first released the manual.08:14
IlyaHaykinson_well, all the excitement of the Lucid release will buoy our site too08:16
godbykyeah, especially since it's not out yet.08:17
IlyaHaykinson_i just spammed #ubuntu-release-party about the manual :)08:17
godbykHeh. nice. humphreybc did earlier, too08:18
IlyaHaykinson_and spammed #ubuntu for good measure08:18
godbykheh08:18
godbykI'm running this http://code.google.com/p/logstalgia/ against my server life.08:19
godbyk(streaming the access.log file over ssh straight into the program)08:19
godbykit's fun.08:19
godbykwhen things settle down (tomorrow?), I'll take the access logs and run them through the program and generate a video of it.08:19
IlyaHaykinson_ah, cute.08:19
godbykso we can see it go from a ghost town to being attacked all at once.08:20
IlyaHaykinson_though really, apart from all the hoopla today, it's the long term usage that counts... :)08:20
godbykyep08:20
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: that video would be so cool08:22
RPG-MasterI want to thank everyone who made this awesome little "for dummies" guide you've put together. My non-geek friends would thank you too :)08:23
godbykRPG-Master: No problem.  Though it's not a for-dummies guide, as dummies don't use Linux. :)08:24
RPG-Mastergodbyk: Being compared to the for dummies series is a good thing! :D08:25
godbykAh, okay then. :)08:25
RPG-MasterThey're famous for being well written and plain worded. So, good for those who aren't geeky ;)08:27

humphreybc(about the fonts)08:50
jamindayhey guys, great to see the manual is out the door! Just ordered a print from lulu.08:53
humphreybchey jamin!08:54
godbykhumphreybc: got it.  I replied.  there's a colophon at the back of the manual the gives urls and stuff about the fonts and other tools we used.08:54
jamindayhumphreybc: hey, sorry haven't been around for a while!08:54
humphreybcgodbyk: there is?08:54
humphreybcjaminday: that's all good08:54
godbyk15 books sold, then.08:54
godbykhumphreybc: yep. I added that at the last minute along with a half-title page (for the print version only) and a bit more info on the copyright page.08:55
jamindaygodbyk: great!08:55
jamindaysounds like the downloads are going well08:56
humphreybcnice08:56
humphreybcyeah they are jamin08:56

humphreybc100,000 downloads by UDS08:58
godbykHow many days between now and then?08:59
IlyaHaykinson_i don't think that is realisti c08:59
humphreybc1108:59
IlyaHaykinson_we don't have consumer marketing08:59
IlyaHaykinson_existing linux users don't really need a manual generally09:00
IlyaHaykinson_and we aren't yet reaching non-users or new users effectively09:00
Davieywhile do; do wget http://$MANULA_URL ; done09:00
godbyklol09:00
IlyaHaykinson_heh09:00
Davieyerm, YKWIM09:00
IlyaHaykinson_hm. are we really having bandwidth issues?09:01
humphreybcGood to see Apple getting some serious negative press09:01
IlyaHaykinson_if we are, i can try reaching out to a few contacts at Akamai09:01
IlyaHaykinson_maybe i can get them to throw in their CDN service for free for our use09:01
IlyaHaykinson_but i don't want to ask unless we really need it09:01
IlyaHaykinson_and it's not just a temporary problem for the next few days09:02
humphreybcI think we're okay now09:02
IlyaHaykinson_if this changes, let me know.09:05
godbykI don't think we have bandwidth issues.09:05
godbykI think the original problem was due to CPU usage.09:05
godbykAnd we've resolved that issue (I hope).09:05
humphreybc:)09:05
humphreybcI wonder if you'll get an email from Dreamhost being like "Why the hell did your bandwidth usage increase 1000% in an hour?!"09:06
humphreybc"What are you, releasing the new iPhone!?"09:06
godbykheh09:08
humphreybcour downloads are still increasing09:08
godbykyeah, we'll probably see them increase even more when the US wakes up.09:10
humphreybcheh09:10
IlyaHaykinson_i would wait about a day, and then approach the folks at lifehacker.com and try to get them to cover us.09:11
IlyaHaykinson__after_ the OS drops09:11
godbykwe'll probably hit humphreybc's 10,000 downloads before the day's half over.09:11
godbykthat's a good idea, IlyaHaykinson_.09:11
godbykI'll be back in a moment. Going to find something for supper.09:12
humphreybcI included a lifehacker editor's email in the original press release I sent out09:12
* godbyk is still wrestling with this German manual and needs a break.09:12
IlyaHaykinson_alright09:12
IlyaHaykinson_i'm off to bed; happy ubuntu day, everyone09:12
humphreybcnight IlyaHaykinson_09:14
thorwilhumphreybc: instead of just repeating the announcement, i'll prepare a post about the titlepage process, with examples of at least 3 translations. i might add a note about our stats there09:21
godbykIt's settled then: I'm having spaghetti for dinner. :)09:21
godbykthorwil: that sounds like a great idea!09:21
humphreybcthorwil: that sounds good :)09:21
godbykthorwil: also, get a dig in about how it took canonical too long to get their logo and colors to us. :)09:22
thorwilgodbyk: yeah, planned that, too09:22

popeyno, lucid09:23
popeyfixed in git, not in lucid09:23
godbykthorwil: did you see the visual identity stuff posted yesterday?09:23
godbykpopey: should be fixed in lucid, too.  at least it was last time I looked on my laptop.09:24
godbykwe got the patch backported.09:24
thorwilgodbyk: yes, before anyone else outside of Canonical, afaik09:24
thorwilgodbyk: i pointed out an issue with the colors, had some notes on the pdf and some not so friendly words of how the process looks like from the outside09:26
godbykpopey: here's the bug where we (allegedly) fixed the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/poppler/+bug/24835509:27
manualbotLaunchpad bug 248355 in poppler "Evince doesn't anti-alias graphics" [Low,Fix released]09:27
thorwilgodbyk: if you take the "for web" color they specify, you end up with something that is more red than orange, so we are better off with our custom orange, anyway09:27
godbykthorwil: nice!09:27
godbykthorwil: print and web are two different animals, as well.  usually the colors have to be adjusted.09:28
thorwilgodbyk: i know. but if you take one of the SVGs, export to PDF, you end up with something that is very different from the tone in the guidelines. on screen. will be about the same difference in print09:30
thorwilsee here: http://www.foopics.com/showfull/d3dae3e88edce0d243dba8d7f5ccd11309:32
thorwilthe design team got the same shot09:32
godbykthorwil: wow!09:33
godbykthorwil: what causes that?09:33
thorwilgodbyk: any of: some color management vs no color management, working on macs, never testing with inkscape and co, getting the hex numbers wrong?09:35
thorwilthe only thing i'm sure about is the result is not acceptable09:37

* thorwil edit to add a line about number of downloads so far13:37
semioticroboticI'm sure the site's getting a major overhaul today, in addition to the 10.04 blitz13:37
humphreybc those translated title pages look so kickass, thorwil13:58
humphreybc12,500 downloads and the download rate is still increasing14:04
hemanth:)14:05
semioticroboticso much for wondering whether we'll hit 10,000!14:06
hemanthis z.varallyay here? i saw the mailing list of advanced command line, i would be pleased to contribute to this sector of the manual, few of my scripts are https://launchpad.net/scripting and http://is.gd/bMZzK14:06
thorwilhumphreybc: heh, thank you! coffee time!14:07
hemanthgodbyk, still no response form the tex developers14:07

semioticroboticwill that delay today's release, humphreybc?14:22
humphreybcit may do, but i believe they've got it sorted and are respinning the ISOs14:23
semioticroboticokay14:23
semioticroboticwell, at any rate, I'm not able to perform my upgrade today14:23
semioticroboticbut just wondering14:23
humphreybcread the comments14:24
humphreybcthey're an interesting insight into the stress of Canonical employees around release day :P14:24
humphreybc"Are you proposing slipping the 10.04 release for this? Do you realize it takes 2 days to respin ISOs, thus making this a 10.05 release?"14:25
humphreybcsounds like it's all go14:25
humphreybc"A third alternative is that if we get a fix into lucid-updates ASAP, then the "Update this installer" link at the start of the installer can be made active - that was designed for this kind of purpose."14:25
humphreybc"@Robbie: for me this is a release blocker so if I was allowed to chose, I would delay the release."14:25
semioticroboticinteresting14:25
humphreybc"We've decided to respin the 32bit and 64bit CDs of Ubuntu Desktop *ONLY*, as we feel this gives us the widest spread fix possible and allows us to still release today (April 29th). Unfortunately, this means other affected variants, such as Xubuntu, will not have this fix, and we deeply apologize for this."14:25
semioticroboticI'm installing a 32-bit  version on my notebook, and it's my only OS, so I doubt this affects me14:26
semioticroboticbut I'm still glad I'm waiting14:26
semioticroboticfewer updates to install14:26
semioticroboticI never released Ubuntu had an "update this installer" feature14:26
semioticroboticseems very handy for situations like this14:27

humphreybc"The Ubuntu Manual is a great tool and the quality is on par with what you’d expect. It starts out with a brief overview of Ubuntu and Linux in general, but it quickly gets down to business with a step-by-step installation guide. Everything from choosing the right ISO to partitioning your hard drive is covered. "15:33
ubuntujenkinsok thanks daker page rank is what i ment15:33
nisshhone for every "when is lucid final coming out?" thread on UF!15:33
ubuntujenkinsepkugelmass: I would gess the translation teams for those langauges would be a good place to start15:34

humphreybcyou install that, it runs and you choose your language/version/whatever15:44
nisshhhumphreybc: yea your right, that would be 195 packages eventually15:44

epkugelmasshttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/57076516:35
manualbotLaunchpad bug 570765 in ubiquity "[Lucid] no GRUB menu entry for other operating systems" [Critical,Fix committed]16:35
humphreybcI only have 50,000 karma, maybe that's not enough16:35
humphreybcsebsebseb: yeah, 3:30am16:35
epkugelmassGood job to everyone working hard to fix the issue. The fix was released, the ISO was built and it's even syncing with the mirrors as we speak. I'm disappointed by the release management team though, I have my doubts on the amount of testing that was done on this... just a few hours between the release of Ubiquity 2.2.24 and the decision to put the ISO in the sync pool. Once again it looks like regression testing is bei16:35
epkugelmassquoted from the bug16:36
nisshhnot even midnight for me yet16:36
epkugelmassquoted from the bug!16:36
epkugelmassit's coming soon16:36

nisshhlol, guy on UF: "I bet they can't get that damn Lynx out it's cage"16:47
humphreybcI got kicked again!16:47
ubuntujenkinslol what for? I don't have it open16:47
humphreybctrying to get people to download the daily build16:48
ubuntujenkinshumphreybc: tut tut it does say you will get kicked for that16:48
nisshhhehe16:48
ubuntujenkins:P16:48
* humphreybc didn't read that16:48
* nisshh laughs his face off!16:49
humphreybcoh, now i'm banned16:49
nisshhhumphreybc: yea you get that when your being a pest on another channel...16:49
humphreybchahahaha16:49
humphreybcI bet you the guy who banned me doesn't have 50,000 karma16:49
humphreybcyeah, that's right16:49
humphreybcburn16:49
nisshhooooh ouch!16:50
humphreybchahaha16:50
nisshhwanna see something really cool?16:50
humphreybcsure16:50
nisshhok hang on16:50
sebsebsebhumphreybc: jono actsually suggested people got a recent RC and then upgrade to final later on16:51
sebsebsebI saw his tweet or whatever, in another channel, last night / this morning16:51
nisshhhumphreybc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB0JodKgZ0A&feature=related16:51
humphreybcyeah16:51
nisshhextreme!16:51
humphreybchttp://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-edition16:51
humphreybcthe release is pretty close16:51
sebsebsebhumphreybc: I mean RC download updates, and then wait untill final, since it won't change much between the RC and the final16:51
sebsebsebhowever I guess most of the people he has on  twitter or whatever,  are experienced users anyway16:52
humphreybcI have no idea why people wait16:52
humphreybcit's open source16:52
sebsebsebtelling the newbies to get a recent one, and then upgrade, is still a bit hrm,  even though it probably won't do any harm.  except that Grub issue may be in there?16:52
humphreybcthe code is always available in the form of daily builds16:52
humphreybcit's not like Apple where it's all secret right up till the time it's released16:53
nisshhnoobs are scared of RC's and beta's16:53
sebsebsebhumphreybc: yeah, but things are buggy untill the final16:53
sebsebsebor  just before the final anyway16:53
humphreybcsebsebseb: not at all for an LTS16:53
humphreybci've been running lucid since alpha and it's been fine16:53
sebsebsebhumphreybc: altough most deveopment versions work quite well really16:53
ubuntujenkinsditto16:53
ubuntujenkinsto humphreybc16:53
humphreybcit's just karmic + other shit during development16:53
nisshhiv run lucid since alpha 3 too its been great16:53
sebsebsebhumphreybc: I have been virtual machine testing it since alpha 1.  I did mess up one of those vm's16:53
sebsebsebthen I did a daily16:53
humphreybcit's a rolling release, they don't write the code from scratch each time16:53
* ubuntujenkins kicks humphreybc (bad langauge) :P16:53
sebsebseb,but I have done all the isues since alpha 1  in a new vm.  all the alpha iso's, the betas, and the rc16:54
humphreybcubuntujenkins: haha! we're allowed to swear in here :)16:54
sebsebsebhumphreybc: uhmmm not quite sure about that16:54
humphreybcsebsebseb: my channel :)16:54
sebsebsebhumphreybc: yeah, but16:54
ubuntujenkinshumphreybc: why? we could have people of all ages for all we know16:54
sebsebsebhumphreybc: it follows the Ubuntu rules?16:54
humphreybctrue16:54
nisshhthe only bug i got hit by was that gnome-panel one back in beta 116:54
humphreybcubuntujenkins: i know everyone in here can handle the odd swear word, we're not babies :)16:55
sebsebsebwell it's swear16:55
nisshhwaaaa!16:55
sebsebsebwarn16:55
sebsebsebcontinue swearing al ot16:55
sebsebsebkick16:55
nisshhnow you cant swear!16:55
sebsebsebin #ubuntu16:55
humphreybcI wonder if manualbot has an entry for swearing16:55
sebsebsebcome back and do it soon after the kick, and you will probably get banned16:55
ubuntujenkinshumphreybc: somthing to think about as we get bigger16:55
humphreybc!language16:55
manualbotPlease watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.16:55
humphreybcah ha!16:55
humphreybcwe should change that16:55
humphreybc:P16:55
* ubuntujenkins is being boring ;)16:55
sebsebsebwell I think that's how the swearing rules is for Ubuntu,  but I am not an op there, unlike jrib16:56
humphreybcsometimes, you know, you just have to swear16:56
ubuntujenkinsI think its ubuntu conduct not to swear16:56
sebsebsebubuntujenkins: yes which is what I was saying16:56
nisshhhumphreybc: i agree!16:56
humphreybcthe worst I say is shit16:56
humphreybcwhich i happen to say quite a lot16:56
* humphreybc says it on the podcast a lot16:56
* nisshh knows that!16:57
sebsebsebhumphreybc: apparantly that one isn't always a swear word in Ubuntu channels16:57
sebsebsebor something like that16:57
humphreybcI try to avoid dropping the f bomb though16:57
nisshhyea, thats a baddy16:57
gotunandanhumphreybc: which podcast ? the omg!ubuntu! ?16:57
humphreybcsite's looking great daker16:57
nisshhnot good to say on irc16:58
sebsebsebhumphreybc: anyway it has been decided that 10.04, will get released, when you go to bed  :D  so get to bed already so the newbies, can overload the servers16:58
sebsebsebheh16:58
humphreybcgotunandan: yup, and interviews16:58
humphreybcsebsebseb: hahahaha!16:58
dakerhumphreybc, yes16:58
nisshhsebsebseb: yea!16:58
humphreybcdaker: how hard is it to have a rollover when you roll over the star? i can create a rollover image for you if you want16:58
humphreybcwould only take 2 secs16:58
sebsebsebhumphreybc: anyway as for development versions well yeah16:59
sebsebsebtest in development16:59
sebsebseband then by the  time the final is out, already bored of that release16:59
dakerhumphreybc, oki16:59
sebsebsebhumphreybc: that's what it is like for me16:59
humphreybcsebsebseb: haha i'm a bit the same16:59
humphreybci'm excited for maverick now16:59
* ubuntujenkins can't decide if to upgrade to maverick now16:59
sebsebsebhumphreybc: I was disapointed that had to wait untill it was December 10th for alpha 1 of Lucid, and then it was rather much like Karmic as expected, untill uhmmm alpha 3 or whatever it was16:59
nisshh10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....HAPPY DAY AFTER LUCID RELEASE DAY!16:59
humphreybcubuntujenkins: maverick doesn't exist yet?17:00
sebsebsebhumphreybc: I am glad I was only vm testing this time round also :)17:00
humphreybc:P17:00

dutchiedaker: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual-website/ubuntu-manual-website/bug-form19:36
humphreybcdutchie: is the bug form finished already?19:37
ChrisWoollardI wonder how many hits you would get if you got a link on www.ubuntu.com19:37
humphreybcChrisWoollard: probably quite a few, that's the aim for Maverick19:38
humphreybcwe're apparently going to become a "top level" project if we prove ourselves after this release19:38
dutchiehumphreybc: no19:38
dutchiehumphreybc: not far off19:38
humphreybcdutchie: lol, if it was i would be very impressed19:38
humphreybcwhen can we get it on the site, dutchie, daker?19:38
dutchiewhen it's ready19:39
dutchieweek? 2 weeks?19:39
humphreybcokay good19:39
ubuntujenkinshumphreybc: what do we have to do to "prove" our selves.19:39
humphreybcone week would be good :)19:39
humphreybcubuntujenkins: prove that we can put out more than one release :P19:39
humphreybca lot of projects do one release then die19:39
ubuntujenkinsare i see19:39
ChrisWoollarddoes that mean the 2nd edition19:40
humphreybcChrisWoollard: yeah, probably19:40
humphreybcwe'll hype that up too19:40
ChrisWoollardHow long do you think it will be before the alternate languages will be available?19:43
ChrisWoollardObviously the ones finished19:43
dutchiestupid lack of battery19:43
humphreybcWe're aiming for the finished ones to be out in a couple of weeks, so English UK, Galician, German and possibly Spanish19:43
dutchiemay disappear in 45 minutes or so19:43
humphreybcall depends whether we can get some editors from the translating teams19:43
humphreybcChrisWoollard: would you like to work with godbyk to edit the UK manual?19:44
ChrisWoollardI would be happy to.19:44
humphreybcokay, when he wakes up, have a chat to him19:44
humphreybc:)19:44
humphreybchopefully we'll get some translations out soon, coz that's one of our biggest selling points19:44
ChrisWoollardI just don't know how to do that yet.19:44
ChrisWoollardThat is also an amazing achievment t have it available in multiple languages19:45
humphreybccoz it's mainly in english, he'll probably do all the latex formatting and just clarify any spellings with you19:45
humphreybc(i say "mainly" i mean all)19:45
humphreybccoz godbyk's american19:46
humphreybcyeah, we need more translators tho!19:46
humphreybc:D19:46
humphreybchttp://www.engadget.com/19:46

manualbotHi! I'm #ubuntu-manual's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots20:47
dutchie!clone20:47
manualbotTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate20:47

hemanthgodbyk, got response for tex devl, he says its ok if it skips it must find an alternative by itself, but that doesn't seem to happen, giving it another shot and the ppa i found in LP has no tlmgr, so the script in pkgs bombs21:05
godbykhemanth: okay, let me know how it goes.21:06
godbykhemanth: yeah, they don't package tlmgr in the repositories because they want you to install everything via their repository.21:06
hemanthgodbyk, okies, now its 1507/207121:06
ubuntujenkinsI am working on the packaging i need to talk to godbyk on it today i have also mailed the list21:06
godbykhemanth: if everything we needed were available in the repository (and installed on your system), the install-pkgs.sh script will tell you that everything's there and you're good to go.21:07
hemanthWell, the Debian packages of TeXLive do not ship tlmgr.21:07
ubuntujenkinsI know21:07
godbykubuntujenkins: you might be interested in the tldistro list I saw yesterday: http://tug.org/texlive/lists.html21:07
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: thanks i have mailed the debian devs for the tex packages21:09
hemanthlucid has Package: texlive (2009-7) but not tlmgr21:09
ubuntujenkinsgodbyk: your install script can we go through what it does? I think i know.21:10

ubuntujenkinsThe Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/22:40

godbykc7p: If that refers to text inside the \begin{comment} ... \end{comment} lines, then you can leave that text as-is.  It doesn't actually appear in the manual.  It's just an internal comment.22:45

* ubuntujenkins needs to work out how to make highlighting of the word "manual" work for all but this channel22:45
c7pgodbyk, for example check this string https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/lucid-e1/+pots/ubuntu-manual/el/458/+translate22:46
ubuntujenkinsthanks dutchie22:46
* ubuntujenkins thinks of a quickshot one but doesn't have a link to use22:46
godbykc7p: Yes, you can ignore that.22:46
godbykI haven't had time to figure out how to convince po4a to leave the comments out of the translation template yet.22:47
c7pah ok22:47
