ChrisWoollardG'night all. Until tomorrow.00:05
rickspencer3godbyk, ah, so I screwed this up a bit ... I don';t think xelatex was installed to the right place, and I scipped the "make the sym links step"00:21
godbykrickspencer3: everyone does.00:22
godbykthere's a fix, though00:23
godbykdid you use the default paths?00:23
rickspencer3yeah, I just hit "do it"00:23
godbykokay00:23
godbyktype 'sudo apt-get install perl-tk'00:24
rickspencer3I guess I just need to know where there were put, and drop sym links in /bin/bash and such?00:24
godbykthen 'sudo /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/scripts/texlive/tlmgr --gui'00:24
rickspencer3ok00:24
godbykeven better.. there's an option in the gui to do it for you.00:24
godbyklet me know when you've got the gui up.00:25
godbyk(or if you hit snags before then)00:25
rickspencer3hmmm00:26
rickspencer3lots of snags00:26

godbykit should be at /usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/TeXLive/Splashscreen.pm00:28
godbykmaybe go into that directory and run ./tlmgr --gui from there.00:28
godbykthere should definitely be an easier way. :)00:29
godbykone moment00:29
godbyklemme see if the command-line version has an option for it00:29
godbykTry: "sudo tlmgr path add"00:30
godbykTry: "sudo tlmgr option path add"00:31
godbyk(the latter)00:31
rickspencer3right00:32
godbykactually, I take it back.00:32
rickspencer3so just add /bin/bash/ ?00:32
rickspencer3oops, ok00:32
godbykI think it is just 'sudo tlmgr path add'00:32
* rickspencer3 waits00:32
godbykno 'option'.  (the man page is difficult to read.)00:32

rickspencer3godbyk, ok, I had to tweak that slightly to run00:40
Kerry_HatcherHi everyone I'm back00:40
rickspencer3no wait00:40
rickspencer3oops00:40
godbykwhat'd you have to tweak?00:40
rickspencer3yeah, I did00:40
rickspencer3I add to, essentially cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/tlpkg/00:40

godbykmaybe cd .. and run tlmgr again?00:45
godbyk(since it has the TeXLive path baked in)00:45
godbykI'm not sure.00:45
godbykotherwise, you can run the install script again and select that option this time.00:46
godbykIt *should* detect that you've installed already and not download everything again.00:46
rickspencer3hmmm00:46
rickspencer3it concerns me that it's not functioning now though00:46
rickspencer3let me poke at it a bit00:47
godbyk'kay.00:49
godbyksee what happens when you don't follow the instructions closely? :)00:49
godbyk(there are quite a lot of symlinks that it creates, so it's best to have it do it for you.)00:49
godbyk(and if you have suggestions on how I can make those instructions more clear, let me know!)00:49
rickspencer3godbyk, yeah, I screwed it up00:53
rickspencer3if I rerun the installer, which directors should I specify?00:53
godbykrickspencer3: just accept the defaults and you should be okay.00:54
rickspencer3screw it, I'm rerunning the installer00:54
rickspencer3godbyk, so if it says this:00:54
rickspencer3New value for binary directory [/usr/local/bin]:00:54
rickspencer3what do I put?00:55
godbykyou can accept the defaults, typically.00:55
rickspencer3just hit enter?00:55
godbykyou should have /usr/local/bin in your PATH environment variable.00:55
godbykyeah.00:55
godbykbrb00:55
rickspencer3fudge, it's redownloading everything I guess00:56
rickspencer3good time to take a break00:56
ChrisWoollardMaybe the ppa would have been a better idea.06:45
ChrisWoollardThis is not strictly a  manual related link. But i did think it an absolute work of genius. So I will share anyway.10:00

nisshhfor anyone who is interested, maverick alpha 1 is out!15:17
* humphreybc-mini is on his little wee netbook16:45
dutchiehow exciting16:46
humphreybc-minivery-16:46
humphreybc-miniI found netbook edition to be shit16:46
humphreybc-miniso i16:46
dutchiedunno why you got a mini 9 when you could have got a 10v16:46
humphreybc-miniso im running gnome instead16:46
humphreybc-minibecause we cant get the 10s with an SSD16:46
humphreybc-minicoz dell NZ suck16:47
dutchieoh16:47
dutchies/dell //16:48
dutchie:P16:48
humphreybc-minilol16:49
humphreybc-miniubuntu, with compiz, runs fairly well16:49
humphreybc-miniwhatever window manager UNE uses is terrible though16:49
dutchiemaximus16:49
humphreybc-miniunity is nice, but it crashes whenever I try to add something to the dock16:50
humphreybc-miniotherwise i16:50
humphreybc-miniotherwise i'd be using that16:50
humphreybc-minithe enter key is where apostrophe should be16:50
humphreybc-minithe ambiance them actually looks half decent on this for some reason though16:53
humphreybc-miniI'm actually using it as default :O16:53
dutchiei like the ambience theme16:53
humphreybc-ministoked that compiz works16:54
rickspencer3godbyk hi17:58
rickspencer3so make runs now17:58
rickspencer3which is good17:58
rickspencer3but I get hundreds of errors like this:17:58
rickspencer3! \textfont 0 is undefined (character u).17:58
rickspencer3\Url@FormatString ...\Url@String \UrlRight \m@th $17:58
rickspencer3                                                  17:58
rickspencer3l.102 \url{http://www.ubuntu-manual.org/}17:58
rickspencer3                                         17:58
rickspencer3?17:58
rickspencer3and then a blank pdf is created17:58
godbykrickspencer3: did you run the pkgs/install-pkgs.sh script?18:11
rickspencer3yeah18:11
godbykokay.18:11
rickspencer3I think18:11
rickspencer3:/18:11
godbykCan you paste the .log file for me?18:11
rickspencer3it was yesterday ... and I remember looking at it18:12
rickspencer3main.log?18:12
godbykyeah18:13
rickspencer3godbyk: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/444156/18:14
godbykrickspencer3: ah, it's complaining because you're missing the graphics/advanced.pdf and graphics/warning.pdf files.18:17
godbykyou can copy those from the ubuntu-manual repository.18:17
rickspencer3can do18:17
godbykYou also need to make sure you have the Linux Libertine OpenType fonts installed.18:18
godbykI think that the ttf-linux-libertine package provides them.18:18
godbykIf not, you can get them from SourceForge.  (The link is on the last page of the Ubuntu manual [in the colophon].)18:18
godbykSame with Linux Biolinum.  It comes from the same SF site.  Otherwise ttf-linux-biolinum, I think.18:19
godbykAnd you need DejaVu Sans Mono.18:19
rickspencer3dang18:20
godbykThose are the big problems I see.  We'll see what other problems exist after you've cleared those up. :)18:20
rickspencer3hmm18:20
rickspencer3I could apt-get install ttf-linux-libertine18:21
rickspencer3but not ttf-linux-biolinum18:21
rickspencer3and don't know where to get DejaVu Sand Mono18:21
rickspencer3so, source forge it is18:21
godbykSF will get you the latest versions of Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum.18:22
godbykLinux Biolinum is a new font and is quite preliminary, so it may not be packaged yet.18:23
godbykDejaVu Sans Mono is available in one of the ttf-dejavu* packages. (Just install 'em all.)18:23
ubuntujenkinshowdy all, did i miss much, irc is too much of a revision distraction18:42
* ubuntujenkins is excited that he has done"engineering management: Finance, Law and Quality" !18:43
rickspencer3godbyk I'm confused, where exactly do I find the SF links?18:44
ubuntujenkinsrick are you still trying to install latex?18:45
rickspencer3ubuntujenkins, no, fonts and such18:48
rickspencer3I am wondering if I didn't use su for ./install.sh18:48
rickspencer3so I'm trying that again18:48
ubuntujenkinsouch it has taken a while to do it all18:49
godbykrickspencer3: I think you didn't use the install-pkgs.sh script.18:50
rickspencer3godbyk I think I used it, but without sudo18:50
rickspencer3so I'm running it with sudo, and it says it's installing stuff18:50
godbykrickspencer3: But if you open the PDF of Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04, go to the very last page, it'll give you the links to the fonts.18:50
godbykYou shouldn't have to run it with sudo -- it'll use sudo internally.  (It'll ask for your password if it needs it).18:50
rickspencer3well, I ran it with sudo and it worked18:55
rickspencer3so now it looks like I just need to set up the glossary and stuff like that18:55
rickspencer3thanks godbyk!18:55
rickspencer3I have a main.pdf :)18:56
godbykcool18:56
godbykany more error messages?18:56
rickspencer3yeah, but there were due to undefined things in my document18:56
rickspencer3referring to chapters that aren't there, glossary items that aren't there, etc...18:56
rickspencer3I'll be back in a couple of hours, maybe get to work on this a bit more later tonight18:56
godbykOkay.18:57
godbykYeah, the Makefile will complain about the glossary and index stuff.18:57
* ubuntujenkins attempts to build new packages for the ppa, and this time they are from the most up to date as they can be19:07
* ubuntujenkins looks into how to make a download progress bar for the manual program19:12
dutchieubuntujenkins: rickspencer3 was very pleased to have got a download bar of some description into quidgets iirc19:13
ubuntujenkinsooo that might be good make my life easy. Quickly has helped me learn allot.19:13
ubuntujenkinsI will ask rick later and try and understand how quickshot reads the dictionary file. I like this revision break19:14
* ubuntujenkins thinks godbyk is right the more you think about a "simple" program the more complex it actually is.19:27
godbykYou could've just stopped with 'ubuntujenkins thinks godbyk is right'. ;-)19:29
ubuntujenkinslol19:29
* ubuntujenkins is building latex packages which are very up to date, I updated the latex source my self20:05
ubuntujenkinssoo much easier this time than last20:06
ubuntujenkinsdutchie: do you have a link for that page on ppa version numbers on launchpad?20:22

semioticrobotichiya friends ... what's new?  haven't seen much action on the blueprint for lucid-e2 (actually, it's been marked superseded?)  what's our plan of attack?23:08
rickspencer3godbyk hey, I can't quite see how to set up the glossary23:25
rickspencer3can you give me a quick pointer?23:25
godbykrickspencer3: sure. Look at the file frontmatter/glossary-entries.tex from the ubuntu manual project.23:26
rickspencer3godbyk nm, just found frontmatter/glossaryentries23:26
godbykthere ya go.23:26
godbykso you add the entries there.23:27
godbykthen, in your text, you can write \gls{keyword}.23:27
rickspencer3sweet!23:31
rickspencer3I just had my first build sans errors of the developer manual23:31
