godbykChrisWoollard: I just emailed the list with instructions for committing things. hopefully that'll help resolve most of those problems in the future.00:07
godbyk(if anyone reads them and follows them and I haven't mucked them up.)00:07
ChrisWoollardthanks00:08
ChrisWoollardi'll have a look00:08
ChrisWoollardThat looks good. That was what I was doing so I am fairly confident that will work.00:13
ChrisWoollardIt is now way past my bed time. So that is exactly where I am going. See you tomorrow.00:32
godbykSee ya, ChrisWoollard00:51
godbykI'm doing some editing now.03:10
godbyk(Just a heads-up.)03:10
godbykI'm so tired of fixing comma splices!04:06
humphreybclol04:23
humphreybcgodbyk, could you please help me with some python? :)04:28
godbykhumphreybc: sure. let me wrap up just a couple more bugs.04:29
humphreybckay04:29
humphreybcthe link is the same as before, http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/humphreybc-help04:29
godbykhumphreybc: okay. I'm in the pad now.04:38
humphreybckay, see if you can work out what's wrong04:39
godbykI'll chat in the pad.04:45
ChrisWoollardGodbyk: I saw all those comma splice bugs. I would have helped, however, you took all the bugs first. :)07:30
ubuntujenkinsmorning all08:00
Zeikemorning!  I'm just off to bed08:03
ubuntujenkinsnight Zeike08:04
nisshhgodbyk-android: iv now posted to the list about the glossary/index09:51
ChrisWoollardnisshh: There were several errors last night that had to be fixed to get the manual to compile. It was a nightmare.10:13
ChrisWoollardnot just with the glossary10:14
nisshhChrisWoollard: hehe, really? someone else must have edited the glossary, it compiled fine when i did my changes the other day10:36
ChrisWoollardIt compiles fine until about 10:30 (UTC+1) last night, then it broke. There were about 4 errors in various locations throughout the whole manual. Mainly miss-spellings in tags and the odd missing bracket.10:48
nisshhChrisWoollard: ah cool10:48
ubuntujenkins the new ubuntu.com site is up can anyone see the link to the manual website?14:00
popeydidnt realise there was going to be a link to ubuntu-manual14:10
ubuntujenkinspopey: ben said there would be in an e-mail also he says it here https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+question/109650 . Not sure where he got the info from, I will have to ask him when i see him14:13
nisshhpopey: there is no link to ubuntu manual on there yet14:24
nisshhnot even in the community support section14:24
popeyI'm not surprised tbh14:30
nisshhpopey: why is that?14:36
flanubuntujenkins, since you're the one who was handling the screenshot approval process, you should have a better idea about this than I would...15:09
flanWould it be easier to approve/reject screenshots by thing being screenshotted or by language?15:10
flanFor grouping purposes.15:10
flanIf the system could either tell you that screenshot X has Y candidates awaiting approval in Z languages.15:10
flanOr if it could say language X has Y screenshots awaiting approval.15:11
flanIt can do both, but I'm not sure which one to feature by default.15:12
flan(Or whether it'd be a good idea to make that a user preference thing)15:12
hanniebuttons close/minimize/maximize in the top RIGHT corner of the window in Ubuntu Lucid 10.0416:08
hannieIn the manual it says: ...top LEFT corner16:09
hannieThe bug report on this subject is not up-to-date16:09
nisshhhannie: the buttons in lucid are on the left not the right16:10
nisshhthey are only on the right if you dont use one of the new themes or if you change it manually16:11
hannieThen why do I have them on the right side?16:11
hannieAha, I am going to change this.16:11
nisshhhannie are you using 10.04 and are you using the default theme16:11
hannieI am using 10.0416:11
hannieMy theme is blue, not the default16:11
nisshhthe default theme is called radiance16:11
nisshhhannie, well theres your answer16:12
nisshhyour not using the default theme16:12
hannieBut does the position has anything to do with the themes?16:12
nisshhso your buttons WILL be on the right16:12
nisshhyes16:12
hannieok, then I will change my translation, thanks.16:12
nisshhthemes are capable of changing the button order16:12
nisshhno problem16:12
hanniethank you for the tip16:13
nisshh:)16:13
hanniecan you check this for me:16:27
hanniethe button to the far right of the titlebar will \gls{maximize} the window16:27
hannieIf the three buttons are in the top-left corner, the third button cannot be to the far right of the titlebar16:27
hannieI have changed this (in the translation) into: the third button16:33
ubuntujenkinsflan: I think both would be best and default to be by language. But there is not much difference in which is default, a user preference to change it would be good16:44
ubuntujenkinsI tend to do by language as thats the way we were able to pull them from the server in bulk16:46
flanWell, the idea with the new design is that every happens in-browser.16:54
flaneverything*16:54
flanSo there's no need to pull things locally before looking at them.16:54
ubuntujenkinsyea I know, I think language is best makes it easier for editors of a langauge16:55
flanWill the editors be given access to the server?16:57
flan(It kinds seems like that role would be limited to one or two users, in most cases)16:57
ubuntujenkinsI don't know its a project decision by the team using it. Alot people want to view the translated screenshots and they tend to be the editors. Translators like them to be fully transalted. Which is understandable16:59
flanViewing is different from approving, but I think I'm starting to see the workflow you're thinking of.17:04
=== \vish is now known as vish
=== shrini is now known as shrini-afk
ChrisWoollardIt appears that since www.ubuntu.com has changed there are a few links in the manual that don't work :( It appears that it wasn't just a re-theme.18:15
dutchiegodbyk: ping18:22
dutchiedear CSS, please work. no love, dutchie18:42
thorwilChrisWoollard: perhaps you could grep for all links with ubuntu.com, check them and make a list of the broken ones?19:01
godbykwe should grep all the links in the manual and check them all.19:18
godbykjust to be safe.19:18
godbyk(I'll be back with you guys in a bit. I just got back after repairing my car while it sat in the parking lot of a restaurant. need to clean up, cool off, and get something to drink.)19:19
thorwilgodbyk: sounds like you had all the fun!19:19
godbykit was such a pain.19:20
godbykI had to have my father come up to help because trying to run around town and get parts and tools using only the bus system would've taken *days*.19:21
dutchiegodbyk: i've forgotten what I was going to ask you about :(19:28
dutchieit was something to do with the bug form19:28
godbykdutchie: awesome! less work for me, then. :)19:28
godbykack, dutchie! I got this email two hours ago:19:32
godbykOn 2010-05-26 15:00z (50 minutes ago), you uploaded a translation19:32
godbyktemplate for ubuntu-manual in Ubuntu Manual lucid-e1 in Launchpad.19:32
godbykThe template has now been imported successfully.19:32
dutchiei did nothing19:32
godbykWhat's up with that? The template shouldn't have changed.19:33
dutchiewho committed then?19:33
dutchiethis stupid bug form refuses to be spaced out by CSS19:34
dutchiehmm19:35
godbykI don't know. I'll look into it in a moment.19:36
godbyk(Still going through email.  So many bug reports!)19:36
godbykthe nice thing about having so many bug reports at once is that it lets me see patterns of bad behavior that I can address specifically in our style guide.19:36
* dutchie gives bind a large kick up the backside19:37
godbykdutchie: the last thing committed to lucid-e1 was http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual/ubuntu-manual/main/revision/862 which should have no effect on the translations.19:42
godbyk(though he did forget to add the file he intended)19:42
dutchiehow odd19:43
dutchiei hope it doesn't break everything19:43
trijntjehi all, LP seems to be weird, changing transations to suggestions. Is this some known issue with the manual?19:44
godbyktrijntje: trying to investigate it now19:44
godbykI got an email about two hours ago:19:44
godbykHello Ubuntu Manual Team,19:45
godbykOn 2010-05-26 15:00z (50 minutes ago), you uploaded a translation19:45
godbyktemplate for ubuntu-manual in Ubuntu Manual lucid-e1 in Launchpad.19:45
godbykThe template has now been imported successfully.19:45
godbykThank you,19:45
godbykThe Launchpad team19:45
godbykBut I see no reason why it would've done that.19:45
godbykThere are no new commits to that branch -- especially none with translation stuff.19:45
trijntjeI noticed it a few day's ago, but I thought maybe the translations where done in the wrong branch or something? It's the one called e2 that should be translated for lucid correct?19:46
godbyktrijntje: No, translate the text in lucid-e1.19:47
godbyklucid-e2 is the second edition that we're actively editing right now.19:47
godbyk(So any translation stuff in lucid-e2 will be in flux for a while as we fix bugs and change content.)19:47
trijntjegodbyk, ok thanks, ill spread the word to the dutch translation team19:47
godbyktrijntje: thanks!19:47
trijntjegodbyk, should translations be on hold until this issue with e1 gets sorted out?19:53
godbyktrijntje: What's been happening is that it'll keep your translation, but it'll mark it as suggested instead of accepted.19:54
godbykSo you can probably continue to translate, you may just have to run through them again, click on the suggestion, and accept it.19:54
godbyk(I'm not really sure yet.  I try to leave the translation stuff up to dutchie.) :)19:55
trijntjewell, ill be here for some hours, ill see it comming by when translations should be on halt19:56
godbykokay.19:56
thorwilgodbyk: hmm, running generate-title-pages.sh in lucid-e2 gives me "Serif/Sans/Mono font: SQL error near line 1: no such table: locale"20:03
godbykthorwil: Maybe I didn't copy over the sqlite database or something.20:04
thorwilwell, ubuntu-manual-locale.db is present20:06
godbykthorwil: it appears to work here.20:08
godbykfrom 'sqlite3 ubuntu-manual-locale.db' and then type '.schema'20:08
godbykit should show a CREATE TABLE ilne20:08
godbykif it does, run 'SELECT * FROM locale;'20:08
godbykand it'll list all the contents of that table.20:09
thorwilfrom: can't read /var/mail/sqlite3 ubuntu-manual-locale.db20:10
* thorwil is puzzled20:10
dutchiei bet it's permissions20:11
godbykmight be20:12
dutchie90% of problems on unix are related to permissions20:12
dutchie5% are ownership20:12
thorwilmy /var/mail is empty20:12
dutchie5% are user error :)20:12
godbykthorwil: you're not running an NFS or something, right?20:12
godbykit's on a local, non-shared file system, right?20:12
thorwilno NFS, not even something20:12
godbykokay20:12
thorwilyes, all boring local20:12
dutchiewhy in god's name is sqlite3 in /var/mail?20:12
dutchieoh, i know20:13
godbykgood question.20:13
godbykwhy?20:13
thorwildutchie: you mean why does it look there?20:13
dutchiethorwil: you ran the wrong command :)20:13
dutchiethorwil: just "sqlite3 ubuntu-manual-locale.db"20:13
thorwillol20:14
thorwildang, took it literal like a bloody noob :}20:14
dutchieif that had been presented in a special typeset way, in a printed book, would you have made that mistake? ;)20:15
thorwilgodbyk: .schema prints nothing20:15
dutchiedoes bugs.ubuntu-manual.org resolve properly for anyone?20:16
godbykdutchie: worked here20:16
thorwilsame20:16
dutchiehmm20:16
godbykthorwil: them the db might be empty. (or it's not finding the db file.. maybe use the full path)20:16
dutchieyou using ISP DNS?20:16
godbykI'm using whatever DNS is provided by my web host.20:17
godbykns1.dreamhost.com if you want to ask the server.20:17
thorwili'm using custom DNS, because the one from my isp delivers a special page on mistyped urls (idiots/bastards)20:18

thorwilgodbyk: no luck. the updated templates are in place, so could you run generate and commit the whole bunch?20:29
godbykthorwil: you want me to just run the generate script and commit the generated svgs?20:29
thorwilgodbyk: yes, i wouldn't do much different from that20:30
thorwilgodbyk: though wait20:30
godbykthorwil: 'kay. just let me know when.20:30
