Red_HamsterXLess productive than I'd hoped, but I think I've got the full relationship model for the server's database worked out. (And about 40% implemented in code)00:50
dakerguys where can i find the new ubuntu font?00:55
godbykdaker: It hasn't been released yet.00:55

happyarongodbyk: and hi, is there any progress about the pdfs?03:18
=== Daker is now known as daker
Red_HamsterXubuntujenkins, I think I've got a solution to the problem of training users to expand windows without maximizing them.15:09
Red_HamsterXAs a plus, it'll allow us to make corners appear rounded.15:10
Red_HamsterXA simple script-mapping feature on the server that, at approval-time, allows the operator to choose which filters to apply to the image with a few checkboxes.15:10
Red_HamsterXEach one will take an image and apply a transformation routine to it, like how we patched the button order.15:11
Red_HamsterXIf we add a 1px border tyo images and overlay rounded edges with transparency, we should be able to make maximized windows look consistent enough.15:13
nisshhcheck this out: http://poststuff5.entensity.net/051410/flash.php?media=dog.flv15:24
dakerRed_HamsterX, i got something for you15:42
Red_HamsterXIs it candy?15:43
dakerwait a minute15:43
nisshhreally early christmas present?15:44
dakerno :D15:45
nisshhawwwwwww15:46
Red_HamsterXEven if it were, I wouldn't share. =P15:46
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX: thats a great idea.15:50
Red_HamsterXI'll try to get a simple multi-window demo done for you during lunch breaks this week.15:51
nisshhRed_HamsterX: is not a good idea, didnt you know that you HAVE to give me a share in it? :)15:52
Red_HamsterXIt shouldn't be hard to do; I'll just need to find a bit of time.15:52
Red_HamsterXNo... No, I did not.15:52
ubuntujenkinsRed_HamsterX:  thanks no rush I have uni work to do at the moment. I finish in a month so down to quickshot then15:52
dakerRed_HamsterX, Bazaar want work for me16:01
dakergive me your email16:01
dakerhe starts working :)16:02
Red_HamsterXred.hamsterx@gmail.com, neil.tallim@gmail.com, flan@uguu.ca (Take your pick)16:02
dakerback16:23
dakerRed_HamsterX, now pull the server branch16:23
Red_HamsterXDone.16:28
Red_HamsterXI'll integrate those changes as soon as they become relevant.16:28
Red_HamsterX(I'm doing a from-scartch redesign right now)16:28
dakeroki16:29
Red_HamsterX(But I'll consult your code whenever I need to do something visual)16:29
dakersure16:29
* Red_HamsterX is trying to decide between purely natural keys and surrogates with natural indexes...16:30
Red_HamsterXThe longest natural key would be three columns, with a clear parent-child relationship between them.16:31
Red_HamsterXSo it's more of a data-usage concern than a speed concern.16:31
dakercan you explain what you going to do ?16:37
Red_HamsterXI'm working on the multiple-projects-on-a-single-server model.16:37
Red_HamsterXMy main concern is with logging events.16:38
Red_HamsterXThough it's probably not worth the effort I'm putting into it.16:38
Red_HamsterXThe overhead's, like, 20 bytes per row.16:38
Red_HamsterX...And I could probably just move that cost into the filesystem.16:39
godbykIf it's something that can be easily modified/fixed later, then you can put it off. If it'll be a big hassle to change it later, better to fix it now.  At least that's the policy I usually take. :)16:40
Red_HamsterXSame.16:40
Red_HamsterXI just really hate surrogate keys.16:40
godbyk"Move it into the filesystem".. using naming scheme? Or more reads/writes to the fs?16:40
Red_HamsterXUse a naming scheme.16:40
Red_HamsterXPossibly a directory hierarchy.16:40
godbykah, gotcha.16:41
godbykas long as they're all safe names.16:41
godbyk(nothing too funky that the fs will disallow as a file/dir name)16:41
godbyk.. and as long as it won't hit any limitations of the fs (max files per dir, etc.).16:41
Red_HamsterXA bigger concern is probably making sure the server's owner can freely hack data, if some sort of problem comes up.16:42
godbykright.16:42
Red_HamsterXWhich is one of the main reasons why I hate surrogate keys.16:43
godbykthat's true, too16:43
godbyk.(especially since I'm the current server 'owner'.) ;-)16:43
Red_HamsterX(I'll try to expose as much maintenance logic as I can through the project-admin interface)16:43
Red_HamsterX(This is just for super-unlikely situations like merging two servers)16:44
Red_HamsterX(If it can be handled through FS-level syncing, then, well, yay)16:44
xuacuHi!19:56
xuacuis there any TeXpert on board?19:56
godbykxuacu: Sure. What's up?19:57
dakerhi xuacu19:57
xuacuI'm tryng to trace an error on asturian build19:57
godbykCan you paste the .log file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and send me the link?19:57
godbykI'll take a look at it for you.19:57
xuacuI got this output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/434507/19:57
xuacusure ;)19:58
godbykHmm.. strange. I'm not sure why po4a care about that.19:59
godbykLet me try to compile it here real quick.19:59
xuacuok, thx19:59
godbykIt seems to be working okay here.  Try 'make ubuntu-manual-ast.pdf' and see what happens.  (You may want to run 'make clean' first to clear any old files.)20:00
xuaculet me see20:00
xuacu... the same thing happens20:01
xuaculet me try one thing20:02
godbykk20:03
xuacuI've the same TeX live I've installed some months ago20:03
godbykIt's not running tex yet.20:03
xuacuI'll try to uninstall and get the ppa version20:03
godbykpo4a is dying.20:03
godbykIt's not a tex problem.20:04
xuacummm...20:04
godbykLet me google around for a moment.20:04
xuacuok20:04
godbykxuacu: I updated the ubuntu-manual.cls file and pushed it. try 'bzr pull' and then 'make mylang' again.20:08
godbykI have no idea if it'll help or not.20:08
xuacuok20:09
godbykI think the problem may be that the colophon isn't in the translation template.20:09
godbykIn fact, you shouldn't see that stuff anyway if you're using the lucid-e1 branch.20:09
godbykRun 'bzr info' and paste the results here.20:10
xuacuwow! lucid-e2!20:11
godbykaha.20:11
godbykyeah, that'd be the problem.20:11
xuacuI've no idea why it's on e2...20:11
xuacuactually, I've no idea about bzr :)20:12
godbyk:)20:12
xuacuI'll try to fix that, thx20:12
godbykwell, you can run 'bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual/lucid-e1' to pull the e1 branch.20:13
xuacugodbyk: done20:28
xuacuI got an error when running make mylang20:29
godbyk-androidNow you can try running make mylang again from that branch.20:29
xuacubut running just make before that fixes the issue20:29
godbyk-androidOkay. Can you paste the  error message again?20:30
godbyk-androidWeird20:30
xuacuhere you are http://paste.ubuntu.com/434526/20:30
* Red_HamsterX ughs at incomplete documentation.20:33
Red_HamsterXhttp://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/reference/orm/query.html#sqlalchemy.orm.query.Query.with_lockmode20:33
Red_HamsterXIt'd be nice to know what values are acceptable. :(20:34
c7pxuacu: I had the same problem and I overcomed it running "make clean"20:34
xuacuc7p: yes, same for me20:35
xuacuit looks as if manual needs one make20:35
xuacuand then all goes fine20:35
godbykI'm not entirely sure what the problem is.  I've pushed a couple lines of code that may fix it though.20:41
godbyk(run 'make clean' and 'rm revision.tex', then try 'make mylang' again -- after bzr pull, of course.)20:42
xuaculet me see20:43
xuacugodbyk: ok, now it builds20:47
godbykokay.20:47
godbyklet me know if you see that error in the future.20:47
xuacuexcept for errors that I'm hunting, that is :)20:48
xuacuthx20:48
godbykit comes about because po4a is rather dumb. :-(20:48
xuacuI need to learn really a lot20:48
dakeri have question21:11

dutchiei used to, then gave up on it and wrote my own blogging platform21:13
dutchiedaker: why do you ask?21:14
dakeri will make a nice wordpress theme21:18
godbykI use wordpress still.21:38
dakeroki21:38
godbykI tend to change the theme on my blog every six months or so.21:41
godbykI've never found one that I've liked long-term.21:41
dutchieif anyone fancies doing a design for http://www.joshh.co.uk/, i would be grateful :)21:41
dutchieseeing as it's quite ugly at the moment21:41
godbykHere's my current theme: http://kevin.godby.org/21:42
godbykI rather like the minimalist, typography-oriented themes.21:42
godbykThere aren't many of them though.21:42
dakeri'll try to make a nice one21:44
godbykIs daker bored today? :)21:46

dakernot necessary :)21:55
godbykok21:55

xuacugodbyk: are you available?22:46
godbykxuacu: sure22:46
xuacuhi. Something is going really wrong here22:47
xuacuwhen building asturian manual, the title page appears in english22:48
godbykxuacu: that's because an asturian title page probably hasn't been created yet.22:48
xuacuand the main text is...22:48
xuaculike Klingon to me.22:48
xuacugodbyk: it's created22:49
godbykhmm..22:49
Red_HamsterXI wonder what the language code for Klingon would be...22:49
xuacutitles and margin notes are ok22:49
godbykpaste your .log file and I'll take al ook.22:49
xuacuI tried to build galician and english22:50

godbyk(ubuntu-manual)              Defaulting to English A4 cover page..22:52
xuacuhowever, it's there...22:52
godbykxuacu: ah, I see what the problem may be.22:53
godbykI've commented out the generate_titlepage function call in the Makefile.22:53
godbyk(because I got tired of it regenerating the title pages all the time on my PC.)22:53
xuacunp, usually I generate it22:53
godbykdoes the file titlepage/titlepage-ast.pdf exist?22:53
xuacuyes, it's already in Launchpad branch22:54
godbyknot the svg, the pdf.22:54
xuacuoh...22:55
xuacuno, it's not22:55
xuacubut I can regenerate it22:55
godbykyou can run: inkscape --export-text-to-path --export-pdf=titlepage/titlepage-ast.pdf titlepage/titlepage-ast.svg22:55
godbykthat'll generate it22:55
xuacugodbyk: the titlepage is now there...23:03
godbyk'kay.23:03
godbykwhat was the other problem you were having?23:03
xuacumain text is some sort of "asdf..."23:04
xuacuformatted text is ok23:04
godbykcan you show me the pdf?23:04
xuaculet me find one of my upload sites23:05
xuacugodbyk: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AI05RG9223:15
