thorwilwell, fixed10:20
jenkinshemanth: ping10:21
hemanthjenkins, yo10:21
jenkinshello you wrote http://pastebin.com/nEU9uvbd for quickshot, did you test os.environ.get('DESKTOP_SESSION') in kde? and get kde out like the code says? I find that it gives 'default'10:22
hemanthjenkins, yes it was tested in kde, are u getting default for kde!?10:24
jenkinsnissh-h got some one to test it as I have not sorted out my vms. I also read a forum post that got default10:25
thorwilgodbyk: c7p mailed the back cover translation to me, i created the lulu_el.svg (pushed) and just asked him to check it for errors10:25
hemanthjenkins, strange, sure will cross check10:26
jenkinshemanth: thanks10:27
hemanthjenkins, np, my pleasure10:27
* hemanth switching to kde10:31
hemanthjenkins, working fine, what was the exact issue that happened? Me on lucid10:37
jenkinsthere has been no issue it was just something i have stumbled along with os.environ.get('DESKTOP_SESSION')10:38
hemantho! ok, what does it say?10:42
jenkinsdefault10:43
jenkinsis the output it gives10:43
abhi_navwhen will e2 will release?10:46
jenkinsabhi_nav: not sure tbh10:47
hemanthjenkins,pass the link, if u have it now, please10:47
abhi_navjenkins, ok. is it with 10.10 or before?10:47
abhi_navany rough idea/10:47
abhi_nav?10:47
jenkinshemanth: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113905710:48
hemanthjenkins, thanks10:48
jenkinsabhi_nav: we set a date at one point but I can't rember, the person to ask is not on at the moment10:50
abhi_navjenkins, ok. thanks for your time though. :)10:50
jenkinsabhi_nav: no problem I could not do anything at the moment. If you hang around i can grab the person when they come online10:51
abhi_navjenkins, not its not that much urgent. Actually I am slowing progressing with e1 translation. so just fearing how to keep up with e2 translation. :(10:52
abhi_navslowly*10:52
jenkins:( hopefully some strings are the same in lucid-e2 . What language are you?10:52
hemanthjenkins, good catch, the discussions there makes a guess that, gdm is setting the desktop_session variable, so if people are on pure KDE only then it might not work10:53
jenkins* doing.10:53
abhi_navjenkins, Marathi(mr) मराठी10:53
hemanthjenkins, os.environ.get('KDE_FULL_SESSION') is the suggested method10:53
jenkinshemanth: was that in the thread? did i miss it. I should not get distracted10:54
jenkinsabhi_nav: i have not heard of that which countries speak it10:54
hemanthjenkins, yes its suggested in the last comment10:55
abhi_navjenkins, no not country. its speed in Maharashtra state of India10:55
abhi_navjenkins, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathi_language10:55
jenkinshemanth: so it is. i just wasted 30 minutes finding that the long way10:55
hemanthjenkins, no issues, shall i make those re-fixes ?10:56
jenkinsabhi_nav: wow10:56
abhi_navjenkins, :)10:56
jenkinshemanth: no worries am moving it to a different file, along with the display stuff. quickshot in the main branch is broken at the moment.10:57
hemanthjenkins, okies10:57
jenkinsthanks for checking hemanth10:58
jenkinsgood luck with it abhi_nav10:58
abhi_navjenkins, thankyou!!! :D10:58
hemanththats ok, i'm must thank you also :)10:58

jenkinsbe back later13:56
nisshhaquarius: i was talking with Rick earlier today about the ubuntu dev manual, are you still planning on writing the chapter about desktopcouch?15:06
aquariusnisshh, in theory, yeah, but if someone else writes it I'd be more than happy to make suggestions, and that would make it more likely that it got written sooner15:07
nisshhaquarius: right, because your working on maverick, just like pretty much everyone else who is an "author" for the dev manual15:09
nisshhaquarius: im thinking of taking it on as one of my projects and i suppose ill write the bulk of it and i figure you guys could sort of as you said "mentor" me and make suggestions15:10
aquariusthat'd be superb. I'd be more than happy to do that :)15:11
nisshhaquarius: yea, because its obvious that a whole bunch of people WANT to do it, but you guys obviously dont have the time, which is a shame15:12
aquariusnisshh, you stepping up is superb heroism15:13
nisshhaquarius: thanks :)15:13
nisshhaquarius: i just dont want to see something like the dev manual, which i think is key to getting new devs onboard, go down the drain simply because we didnt have time to write it15:14
aquariusnisshh, I agree entirely15:14
nisshhaquarius: yup :)15:14
j1mchi all - how are things going w/ regards to the content management website?16:25
nisshhj1mc: still a concept at the moment :)16:25
j1mci haven't seen much activity on the ubuntu-manual list about it recently - have their been discussions on irc16:25
j1mcnisshh: are there any plans documented anywhere?16:25
j1mcjust trying to get an idea of where things stand16:25
nisshhhmmm, there was a mockup done a while ago16:26
nisshhi dont have the link though16:26
j1mcyes, i do recall that.  no worries.16:26
nisshhbasically, things abot it are the same as when the idea first came about16:26
semioticrobotichave we even settled on a format for storing/presenting the content?16:26
nisshhsemioticrobotic: i dont know, i think ilya was researching that16:27
semioticroboticnisshh: okay.  I thought the momentum seemed to be building behind docbook, but I couldn't really confirm that16:28
nisshhj1mc: i only asked about it yesterday and the answer was the same16:28
nisshhsemioticrobotic: yea, i lost track of it after about 3 ML posts16:28
nisshhit was a toss up between docbook and mallard i think16:29
semioticroboticha!  yeah, me too16:29
j1mci think essentially what we're talking about is creating a CMS.16:29
j1mci've done some more digging... was looking at plone.16:30
semioticroboticn00b question: Using x-chat, how to I mark myself as "back" from being away?16:30
j1mcplone features: http://plone.org/products/plone/features/3.016:30
dakernisshh, j1mc  https://code.launchpad.net/~adnane002/ubuntu-manual-website/uslc16:30
dutchiesemioticrobotic: i'd guess just /away16:31
semioticroboticdutchie: Me too!  I tried that and it didn't work16:31
dutchie/back?16:31
semioticroboticyou rock16:32
semioticroboticI knew it had to be simple, but it does seem odd that x-chat would stray from that convention16:32
dakerCtrl+Alt+A16:32
j1mcdaker: thanks16:32
nisshhj1mc: right, its not just a CMS, we are using part of a CMS and adding various things on top16:32
nisshhdaker: i knew there was code somewhere\16:33
semioticroboticI believe I've seen Plone in action, but only as a user (never to administer anything)16:33
nisshhyea16:33
j1mcsemioticrobotic: i have no experience with it whatsoever.  just think it has a good feature set, and i'm wary of trying to roll our own.16:36
j1mcthat's just me, though.16:36
j1mci don't want to put "stop energy" on the project, though.16:37
j1mcjust want to recommend plone as something that might be helpful.16:37
j1mcif that makes sense16:37
nisshhj1mc: that makes perfect sense, really you should talk to humphreybc though16:38
nisshhhes the "dude to talk to"16:38
j1mci'm putting a note out to the ubuntu-doc ml, copying the manual ml16:39
j1mcjust wanted to check-in here first.16:39
j1mcthanks, all. :)16:39
semioticroboticj1mc: Makes perfect sense, and I agree.  I know "making our own tools" is a core component of the team's ethos, but in this we might be best served by something already in place (that we can modify)16:39
nisshhj1mc: no need to check-in with us, just go ahead and post suggestions16:39
dakerdutchie, ping17:09
dutchiedaker: pong17:10

c7pthorwil: :)19:50
godbyk-saganthorwil: yeah, that'd be great! thanks!20:15
godbyk-saganthorwil: I just noticed this TeX package, too.  It may be helpful in the future: http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/svg-inkscape/InkscapePDFLaTeX.pdf20:15
godbyk-saganthorwil: It allows us to basically run an Inkscape SVG through LaTeX (to let LaTeX handle the text work).20:15
thorwilgodbyk-sagan: you just noticed? i vaguely recall pasting you a link to that, taken from an inkscape mailing list ;)20:17
godbyk-saganthorwil: ah, yeah. just noticed. i found the posting to comp.text.tex. it was posted eons ago.20:17
godbyk-sagani'm pretty far behind. :)20:17
godbyk-sagannot sure if it'd be a help with the title pages and covers or not.20:18
godbyk-saganwe'd get the hyphenation for free (which is nice).20:18
godbyk-saganI don't know how much tweaking is required to make the title pages look awesome.20:18
thorwili really need immediate visual feedback20:22
