[06:07] * IlyaHaykinson hates the wifi kernel module on this machine; keeps crashing [07:43] * humphreybc-cell is at uds and is very busy! [07:47] Hey, humphreybc-cell. I just woke up for UDS. [08:05] ubuntujenkins: i just saw your email to the mailing list [08:05] ubuntujenkins: does that ppa mean that we no longer have to install tex-live from a script? [08:06] nisshh: If it all works well, yes, that's what it means. [08:06] We're just testing it now, so there are no guarantees. [08:07] godbyk: ok, thats good, was getting annoying having to install from a script and tweak the install [08:07] nisshh: I know. We're always trying to make it easier for people to contribute. :) [08:08] yea [08:10] godbyk: can you have a look through my bzr script and see what you think? [08:10] nisshh: sure. [08:13] ok, gimme 1 minute and ill bastebin it [08:13] pastebin* [08:13] sure [08:13] I'm listening to UDS stuff at the moment, so no rush. [08:13] (just intro stuff so far) [08:13] ah right, how are you doing that? [08:13] streaming audio: http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/bois_dentelle.ogg.m3u (of the intro talk) [08:14] ah cool im gonna listen in too maybe [08:15] godbyk: http://pastebin.com/f92egWjR [08:15] you can also join #ubuntu-uds and the channel for whatever session you want to attend: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-M/RemoteParticipation [08:15] im not sure that its complete yet but i think its not far off [08:17] the apt-get install bzr line should be inside the if-not-installed part, probably. [08:17] ok [08:17] and instead of checking for ~/.bzr, you could use 'which bzr' and check the return code. (see 'man which' for a list of exit codes) [08:17] i didnt know if that would work or not [08:18] why not? [08:18] yea, i suppose ~/.bzr is not a good way to go since it could be there for numerous other reasons too and bzr might not be installed [08:18] godbyk: im lame at bash scripting still... [08:19] well, my thinking is that ~/.bzr may not exist for a new user on a system if bzr has already been installed. [08:19] no worries. learning is half the fun. [08:19] yea [08:23] godbyk: with an if statement is it possible to do something like: [08:26] if which bzr == exit code 0 then echo "bzr is installed" [08:26] is that possible? [08:27] yeah, [08:27] if you open up the install-pkgs.sh script, I can show you code that does that. [08:27] ok hang on [08:27] if you look at (or around) line 88, you'll see a function named check_exec_file(). [08:28] i see [08:30] there's some log file stuff in there that you probably don't need/want. [08:30] but the code with EXIT_STATUS=$? and the if..else..fi block afterwards will help you [08:31] yea, whats the difference between cecho and echo? [08:31] cecho is a function that uses color for error messages, etc. [08:32] ok [08:34] what does the "return 1" and "return 0" do? [08:35] that's the return code for the check_exec_file() function. [08:35] you won't need that. [08:36] right [08:41] did that work okay for you? [08:42] so far yep [08:43] doing some more tweaking then ill test it fully [08:44] oookkkkkk, it doesnt check for bzr correctly [08:46] nisshh: I can take a look if you want to pastebin it again. [08:48] hmmm, ok one sec though [08:48] i bet you iv made some noob mistake and left like one bit out [08:49] here: http://pastebin.com/MaQ6kXL1 [08:51] before the EXIT_STATUS=$? line, you need to actually call which. [08:51] add this line: which bzr >/dev/null 2>&1 [08:51] hehe, thought i was missing something [08:52] add that line before the if statement? [08:52] or in the if statement [08:53] add that line before the EXIT_STATUS=$? line. [08:57] not working still, and i found out that the ssh if statement isnt working either [08:59] brb [08:59] nisshh: paste your script here: pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UMPbzr and we can work on it together. [09:02] ok its in there [09:03] I've edited the script. [09:03] the bzr check should work now. [09:03] ok [09:03] yep, works now [09:04] ssh key check still doesnt [09:05] remove the . in the filename [09:05] fixed in pad [09:07] excellent, works nicely now [09:09] cool [09:09] the whole script works now [09:09] great! [09:09] yea, can you think of anything else i might need to add? [09:10] walk them through creating the ssh key if it doesn't exist? [09:11] maybe check to see if 'bzr whoami' has already been set before asking them for the info again? [09:11] same with launchpad-login [09:11] right, so try and automate as much of it as possible [09:11] yep [09:12] ok, ill get on with that after iv done my chores ;) [09:13] k [09:31] Mark just gave a shout-out to the Ubuntu Manual project. [09:32] :) [09:32] yaya! [09:44] humphreybc-cell: hey, having fun? [09:54] godbyk: how would i check if bzr launchpad-login has already been set? [09:54] nisshh: if you just run 'bzr launchpad-login' it'll give the username if it's set, I think. [09:55] yea it does, but what if this is the first time the user has run bzr launchpad-login? [09:56] should i just assume that if the user had to install bzr then they havent run it before? [09:57] that's probably a safe bet. [09:57] but bzr spits out a different message if it's not set. [09:57] yea [09:57] I don't know what that msg is 'cause I've already set it, though. :) [09:57] same [09:58] gah! too many sessions running simultaneously. [09:58] hard to keep track of everything. [09:58] (UDS) [09:58] hehe [10:11] godbyk: where can i put my bzr script, i think its pretty much ready now [10:11] nisshh: for now just email it to me. [10:11] we're going to create a new repository for our tools and scripts. [10:11] right [10:11] kevin@ubuntu-manual.org. [10:14] done [10:14] thanks. [10:14] hello [10:14] I'm listening to some UDS sessions now, but I've received your email. [10:15] c7p: hey dude [10:21] anyone who gives a damn: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/ubuntu-developer-summit-maverick.html [10:30] nisshh: I think you forgot to attach the script to the email. [10:34] godbyk: oops hang on i keep doing that with freakin hotmail [10:36] ok, should be attached this time [10:36] it is now. thanks! [10:39] hehe, np! [11:07] * ubuntujenkins can't listen to uds, I rebooted and now my sound card and my usb headphones are not wroking [11:07] ah, that stinks. [11:08] I have no clue what i did [11:33] * ubuntujenkins aaaarrrrgggg this is anoying [11:35] ubuntujenkins: check the volume levels and settings in the pavucontrol app? [11:36] godbyk: I have no hardware except a dummy. I think its alsa [11:36] ah. [11:36] cat /proc/asound/cards [11:37] hey godbyk I've corrected the problem on launchpad and greek translation is again 100% completed. When can, upload the pot file on the branch and see if the compilation runs smoothly [11:37] no such file or directory [11:37] c7p: thanks, I'll give it a shot after a bit. [11:37] (currently listening to UDS sessions.) [11:37] godbyk: ok :) [11:37] ubuntujenkins: really? wow.. is the alsa kernel modules loaded? run 'dmesg' and check for errors related to sound/alsa. [11:38] ubuntujenkins: lsmod | grep asound [11:38] hey, manual guys :) [11:38] hello aquarius [11:39] someone in the desktop roundtable session at UDS mentioned a session later in the week about an app developer book? [11:39] aquarius: hey [11:39] godbyk: lsmod | grep asound gives nothing i am reading the dmesg output [11:39] I'm just about to register a session that rickspencer and I were talking about, around the idea of a manual for opportunistic developers on Ubuntu [11:40] ubuntujenkins: so the asoundcore module hasn't been loaded. you can try running 'sudo modprobe asoundcore' and then check the dmesg output. [11:40] but I don't want to do that if there already is one :) [11:40] aquarius: cool. there's not one yet. [11:40] godbyk, sweet. I'll register one. [11:40] we had discussed creating one, but I don't think it's on our to do list for now. [11:40] (we have our hands full with our current plans) [11:40] godbyk: FATAL: Module asoundcore not found. [11:40] we're happy to help out, though. if you want to use our tool chain, etc. [11:41] that sounds useful! [11:41] ubuntujenkins: well, that's quite odd. :-/ [11:41] I would like to help if i haev time after doing qucikshot aquarius [11:42] the only thing i did was boot into windows as i had to do some group stuff on there [11:44] ubuntujenkins, cool! Are you at UDS, or participating remotely? [11:44] I'm remotely participating at UDS. [11:44] aquarius: if you do schedule a session, let me know when it is and I'll try to listen in. [11:49] * ubuntujenkins is off to lectures if anyone has any ideas please let me know [12:07] hi there. The Chinese version website still have a few strings in English. can someone check out why? It's been totally translated [12:14] godbyk: ^^^ [12:14] wyh: It may be that the translations haven't been downloaded from launchpad and put into bzr yet. [12:14] It's a manual process -- someone has to go through the motions to carry the translations from launchpad to bzr. [12:19] godbyk: maybe. the translation entry on launchpad keeps changing... sometime two branches, sometimes one. what's happening? [12:19] daker (our web developer) has been working to get the website translations sorted out. [12:20] here's the backstory: [12:20] originally, the website was in the same repository as the manual itself. [12:20] then we split the site into its own repository. [12:20] so at that point, there existed a translation file under the ubuntu-manual project and another under the ubuntu-manual-website project. [12:21] we manually synchronized those two translations so that translators could keep working under the ubuntu-manual project umbrella as they hadn't noticed the ubuntu-manual-website project had been started. [12:21] we recently closed the site translation that was under the ubuntu-manual project. [12:21] now, for the ubuntu-manual-website project, there were two directories: main and test. [12:21] the main site was the countdown page at ubuntu-manual.org [12:22] the test site was what we were developing behind the scenes. [12:22] when we released the manual at the end of April, we closed the main site (the countdown timer) and switched the site over to (what was) the test site. [12:22] since there were two sites under the project, they each had their own translations. [12:23] now we've closed the main site, since we're using the test site. [12:23] so the main site translation was closed recently and we're left with just the test site translation. [12:24] and if your brain doesn't hurt already, in a few months we will be creating a brand new site that will have its own translation. :) [12:24] but we'll worry about that further down the road. [12:26] ah ha, it's a little complicated, really [12:28] A little bit, yeah. [12:28] I *think* it's all sorted now, though. [12:30] godbyk: but some strings are not in Chinese, while they are translated on launchpad... [12:30] they are too long paragraph mainly [12:31] one on "about" page, one on "download-not-ready" page [12:31] There are basically two possible reasons: [12:32] 1. We haven't downloaded the translations from Launchpad since the strings were translated (so the website doesn't know that the strings have been translated); and [12:32] 2. We've changed the text on the website but haven't uploaded the new text to Launchpad for translation yet. [12:32] Both of those steps require manual work on the part of our web developer (the uploading and downloading to/from Launchpad). [12:33] They don't happen automatically. [12:35] godbyk: well, as long as the book translation is not finished, you have time to adjust the website : ) [13:47] * ubuntujenkins has fixed the sound, reinstalling some packages appears to of worked. [13:48] have now i have meetings and lectures os have no time for uds :( [13:48] see you all later [17:27] hello all [17:28] hello ubuntujenkins [17:28] hey daker [17:28] hello @all [17:28] godbyk, ping [17:29] daker: pong [17:29] daker: Can you update the website translations? [17:29] Someone was in here earlier and mentioned that some of the translated strings in launchpad don't show up as translated on the site yet. [17:29] oki i'll do it [17:31] thanks [17:31] godbyk: is uds over for today? [17:31] ubuntujenkins: yeah [17:32] now that i have fixed sound and have time its over :( . Did i miss much? [17:32] :) [17:32] hmm.. well, Mark gave a little shout-out to our project during his keynote. [17:32] oo nice i wonder if there is a video [17:32] The guys who work on Quickly and related projects had a session on writing a book akin to our manual. [17:33] yep i saw aqu when he was in the channel [17:34] godbyk, is therer any possibility to import translations from the ubuntu manual launchpadp page to here https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-website [17:36] https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/ImportingTranslations [17:36] daker: If translations were done under the ubuntu-manual project, they should appear as suggestions in the ubuntu-manual-website project. The translators would just have to choose that selection and submit it. [17:37] that's the problem [17:37] i don't want to do that [17:40] I don't know of a better way. Sorry. [17:41] i will download the tarball of the translations from https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/lucid-e1/+templates and import it [17:43] daker: Be careful. We don't want to further anger the translators. ;-) [17:43] godbyk: what about them? [17:44] i'll follow the wiki https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/ImportingTranslations [17:45] c7p: Daker was just looking at importing some of the ubuntu-manual translations into the ubuntu-manual-website side of things. [17:45] godbyk: ah ok, ty for the info :) [17:47] Example directory layout for translation files [17:47] Each template (.pot) file must be in its own directory. For example: [17:47] template1/template1.pot [17:47] template1/de.po [17:47] template1/fr.po [17:47] template2/template2.pot [17:47] template2/de.po [17:47] template2/fr.po [17:48] You should follow Launchpad translation import guidelines to ensure your translation files are imported successfully. [17:48] .mo-style layouts [17:48] Launchpad will not import your files if they use a .mo-style directory layout, such as: [17:48] NOT SUPPORTED: template1/LC_MESSAGES/de/template1.po [17:48] i should put the po files in one folder [17:48] Ah.. so you can't import your website's .mo files? [17:48] no [17:49] i should donwload all the po files then pput them in one folder [17:49] and lp will import them [18:19] o/ [18:19] monumentally tired [18:19] me, too. [18:19] And all I've done is sit in this chair listening to UDS sessions. :-/ [18:19] i've done somewhat more than that [18:20] dutchie: there's a UDS session about a Launchpad translations API. [18:20] in case you wanted to sit in on it. [18:20] cycle the 5 miles in to town for a 7 am rowing session, cycle up a big hill for sports day, run 400m and 4x400m, cycle back, another rowing session, cycle home [18:20] :( [18:21] godbyk: where/when? [18:22] lemme look [18:22] though they keep rescheduling everything on me. [18:23] dutchie: it's currently schedule for tomorrow at noon (UTC+2) in the Ebene room. [18:23] channel #ubuntu-uds-ebene [18:23] audio stream: http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/ebene.ogg.m3u [18:23] that is a pretty poor time for me [18:23] but i will join the channel and log it [18:24] they don't do much in the channels. [18:24] but you can also record the audio stream with mplayer, if you want. [18:24] I'll try to record it for ya. [18:25] depending on what other sessions are running at the same time, I may just attend that session. [18:25] thanks godbyk [18:47] Fresh builds: http://builds.ubuntu-manual.org/ [18:57] hello [18:57] The english uk edition of Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04 is not yet available. [18:58] zleap: That's correct. [18:58] It's being edited right now. [18:58] with regard to the above, as the manual is in LaTeX would producing a a4 version be a case of changing the preamble to a4 from US [18:58] daker: ping [18:58] godbyk, i take it there are other spellings being changed too, rather than just paper size [18:59] zleap: Yeah, it's a full-blown translation. I haven't kept up with what all they're doing. [18:59] right [19:00] For the translated versions, there will be three versions generated: (1) A4 paper, color links, for on-screen reading, (2) A4 paper, no links, for printing at home, (3) US letter paper, no links, for printing and binding via lulu.com. [19:00] so when 10.10 is released will there be a whole new manual or a new manual + supplimentary bits to add in to the 10.04 manual [19:01] zleap: It will be an entirely new manual. [19:01] ah [19:01] cool [19:01] I hope it'll be cool. :-) [19:02] godbyk: have you got those pictures of the manual still up? [19:02] my lulu copy shipped today :) [19:02] has ben got his? [19:03] i'm sure he'd have tweeted it [19:03] ubuntujenkins: those horrible, blurry photos? yeah. [19:03] he hasn't received his yet [19:03] just asked this on the uk ubunty list, if I get any printing sponsored can we have the sponsor info on the printng somewhere [19:03] they didn't ship in time. I don't know if they've shipped at all yet for him. [19:03] zleap: I was about to write an answer to you [19:03] iok [19:04] zleap: do you wan the uk version in print? [19:04] *want [19:04] zleap: I don't think it'd be an issue. [19:04] message sent zleap [19:04] yes, when available, its for the devon and cornwall Linux user group we are looking at printing some off for reference as i have suggested we givce people a copy of the manual (pdf) if we do installs [19:05] ubuntujenkins, thanks [19:05] cool. [19:05] godbyk: are we adding other langauages to lulu? [19:05] You'll have to let us know how people like them and if there are parts of the manual that are difficult to follow. [19:05] ubuntujenkins: Yeah, we'll add them to lulu as they're released. [19:06] No reason not to, really. [19:06] we installed ubuntu last month at a lug meet, and gave a bit of support this weekend just gone so i copied the pdf over at the same time as follow up support [19:06] zleap: Getting the uk english version form lulu will also be possible [19:06] (when it is out) [19:06] ok, [19:07] i will look in to getting one, as i guess from lulu it will be more professionally bound, see if my local library in torbay will carry a few copies [19:07] ubuntujenkins: What'd it cost you? [19:07] Also, if you order in bulk via lulu.com, the price drops. [19:07] 5.17 with FREESHIP [19:07] all in the e-mail :-) [19:07] + VAT [19:07] Factoid 'VAT' not found [19:08] stupid quickshotdevs [19:08] dutchie: I am sure mine was only £5.17 [19:08] hmm [19:08] perhaps there could be a survey / feedback form on the manual site to get feedback / comments [19:08] I need to change the + [19:08] actually, might have been [19:08] * dutchie installs unity [19:09] unity is just the windows seven bar on its side or at least thats how it looks [19:09] * dutchie will try it before deciding what it's like [19:09] omg!!! daper is gone! [19:09] daper? [19:10] can someone contact him? [19:10] yep [19:10] daker [19:10] is that who you mean? [19:10] he's about to change LP website translations, right? [19:10] He was looking into it. I don't know if he's done anything yet or not. [19:11] What's the problem? [19:11] I'd like he skip asturian (ast) translation [19:11] because I've already done the import [19:12] and fixed some typos [19:13] xuacu: I'm not sure if he's done anything yet or not. But you can email him at adnane002@gmail.com, if you like. [19:13] Thank you, i'll do it right now! [19:14] hmm, it's more os x-y than anything else [19:15] what with a dock of apps [19:33] godbyk: did you ever sort the translations? [19:35] nope [19:35] I haven't heard anything from anyone. [19:35] I told humphreybc about the issue and he was going to try to corner one of the launchpad devs at UDS [19:36] but he may be too drunk to remember now. ;-) [19:36] heh [19:37] i think danilo "untypeable cyrillic name" segan is the guy to talk to about translations [19:38] maybe send him an email? [19:38] here's what I've been posting to #launchpad: I've had some reports recently from our translators that a number of strings have been flagged as 'needs review'. It seems this change happened overnight. Do you know what's happened? (See http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/05/08/%23ubuntu-manual.html#t10:14 and https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/msg01692.html for two such reports.) [19:38] there are more emails on our list now and more logs in our chatroom if they want further anecdotes. [20:09] I'm going to go read a book for a while. Then probably sleep. [20:09] Ping me if you need anything. (I'll have my phone nearby.) [20:10] night godbyk [20:18] * Red_HamsterX evaluates the costs associated with rebuilding the Qs server in Python. [20:18] (WSGI, probably) [20:18] (Mostly maintenance-wise) [20:19] (It'd be a lot more fun, but the skillset for supporting it has to exist, and it's important that it be able to run in most environments) [20:21] * ubuntujenkins has just had to tell his dad where the minimize button is. face to plam [20:21] Red_HamsterX: your call, I haven't looked at the server stuff [20:26] Facepalm for Canonical or facepalm for computing in general? [20:26] Well, it's only kinda my call... [20:26] PHP is universal and anyone can hack it. [20:27] Python requires more of an investment in infrastructure and it requires a bit more diligence to produce working code. [20:27] I know its kinda your call just pointing out that i had seen your comment :-) [20:27] Ah. [20:27] I assume things are read, most of the time. =P [20:27] * Red_HamsterX is a very assuming individual. [20:37] godbyk-android, when you have time (or if you know offhand), could you let me know if your webhost has support for WSGI in any form? (mod_wsgi for Apache, CherryPy, the ability to just run a Python process locally, anything from http://www.wsgi.org/wsgi/Servers ...) [20:37] (Not urgent) [20:37] my dad is shocking at using a computer trying to tell him how to quit skype whilst on skype. I don't know how he got on there in the first place [20:38] Sounds unpleasant. :( [20:39] Though, if it's Lucid, I can see one way in which minimize might be really confusing. [20:39] I put my window list at the tops of my screens. [20:40] When I first saw the new buttons, I kept going for the '^' instead of the 'v' when I wanted to iconify things. [20:40] it is lucid, i offred to move the window butons but my hole family said to leave it. I was very supprised [20:40] *whole [20:40] 'Cause the window list is above, not below.
