[00:25] <godbyk> dutchie: drat! I'm not a member, but I'd love to test it with our manual a bit.
[00:27] <dutchie> out of folks in here, humphreybc, zkriesse, jussi, h00k, pleia2, issyl0, AlanBell and I think nisshh are members
[00:28] <dutchie> one of those is bound to be happy to help
[00:28] <godbyk> dutchie: you're not a member yet?  I'm surprised.
[00:29] <dutchie> feel free to add to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/dutchie :)
[00:29] <godbyk> I need to update my wiki page sometime: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KevinGodby
[00:33] <godbyk> looks like everyone who pinged me earlier is offline now.  I hate that. :)
[00:34] <dutchie> i should be offline
[00:35] <dutchie> it's gone half past midnight
[00:40] <dutchie> but it's the last day of my last ever term at school tomorrow \o/
[00:42] <godbyk> awesome! congrats!
[00:42] <dutchie> i went to the pub with my maths teacher this afternoon :)
[00:50] <daker> dutchie: \o/
[00:51] <dutchie> you are unlikely to see me much for a week or two due to holidays and whatnot
[00:52] <godbyk> dutchie: sure thing.
[00:52] <daker> dutchie: tell humphreybc to design the mockup for bugs.u-m.o
[00:53] <daker> \o/
[00:53] <dutchie> 00:52:58 < daker> dutchie: tell humphreybc to design the mockup for bugs.u-m.o
[00:54] <dutchie> and with that, i am going to bed
[00:54] <dutchie> i will be around friday (hungover) a little bit
[00:54] <dutchie> then away for a week sat-sat
[00:54] <humphreybc> blah
[00:54] <humphreybc> I've been avoiding doing that
[00:55] <humphreybc> creating forms in photoshop is time consuming
[00:55] <dutchie> maybe if you used the gimp...
[00:55] <humphreybc> daker: did you get the quickshot site?
[00:55] <dutchie> ok, bed now
[00:55] <dutchie> goodnight
[00:55] <humphreybc> dutchie: then it would be four times as time consuming
[00:55] <daker> euh did you sent something ?
[00:56] <humphreybc> daker: yes
[00:56] <humphreybc> to your email
[00:56] <daker> oki
[00:56] <humphreybc> the quickshot PSD
[00:56] <daker> kk
[00:57] <daker> received
[01:23] <h00k> someone said me
[01:23] <h00k> Yeah, I'm a Member
[01:26] <humphreybc> does anyone know how to get the RSS feed from my blog just for a certain tag?
[01:26] <humphreybc> I'm adding my blog to planet ubuntu
[01:27] <humphreybc> http://humphreybc.wordpress.com/category/ubuntu/
[01:27] <humphreybc> want to add that category
[01:27] <humphreybc> I just need an rss link for it
[01:28] <humphreybc> http://humphreybc.wordpress.com/category/ubuntu/feed/ maybe?
[01:29] <godbyk>  humphreybc: looks like that works.
[01:29] <humphreybc> okay
[01:29] <humphreybc> I can have a look at other peoples things too
[01:31] <humphreybc> yeah
[01:31] <humphreybc> that should work
[09:05] <jenkins> o/
[09:11] <thorwil> \o
[09:15] <jenkins>  collaboration meeting on saturday 10th 8pm utc, if you are coming please add yourself to the list. http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/collaborationmeeting , you can also add agenda items there.
[09:34] <thorwil> a bit late for me and i doubt i would have anything to add ... you guys will get it right :)
[10:46] <jenkins> If everyone can add the pros and cons for docbook or mallard as the content pool http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/prosandcons
[11:02] <c7p> hey thorwil, are you around ?
[11:06] <c7p> do anyone know what's tha paper size of the manual ?
[11:06] <jenkins> c7p: it depends on the language
[11:06] <c7p> let's say for the English manual
[11:07] <jenkins> I *think* english us is us letter, english  uk is a4 letter
[11:08] <c7p> ok thx :)
[11:10] <jenkins> np
[11:14] <c7p> jenkins: when do you go on camping ?
[11:14] <c7p> go camping*
[11:14] <jenkins> I have been c7p it was fun :) . I was very tired
[11:14] <c7p> :p oh cool, but you where almost every time online
[11:15] <jenkins> I went on friday lucnh time and came back sunday evening
[11:15] <jenkins> only a short camp really close by
[11:16] <c7p> nice :)
[11:17] <c7p> so I can make the thread that i was talking about
[11:18] <jenkins> yea sure thing
[11:35] <thorwil> c7p: now i am. i will have to adjust the page size of lulu_el once godbyk can give me the dimensions. that also means that the page count must be known
[11:40] <c7p> the standard paper size in Greece is A4
[11:40] <c7p> so i guess a4
[11:42] <thorwil> c7p: lulu's approximation of that, yes
[11:58] <jenkins> dutchie: ping
[11:59] <jenkins> if I have a variable called "res"  which is res = "'disper', '-c', '-r', '1024x768'" , how do i use subprocess.Popen to open it? I have tried subprocess.Popen([str(res)]) and subprocess.Popen([res]) but they don't work. Any suggestions?
[11:59] <jenkins> nisshh: ping ^
[12:16] <nisshh> jenkins: woah, sorry i didnt expect anyone to ping right now
[12:16] <jenkins> nisshh: no worries
[12:16] <nisshh> jenkins: hmm, i dunno, im not that good with python, can you explain a bit more
[12:17] <nisshh> jenkins: can you pastebin your code?
[12:17] <jenkins> basicaly depending on on someones graphics card the command used to change the resolution is assigned to a variable. That variable in the example is res
[12:18] <nisshh> yea
[12:18] <nisshh> this is for quickshot im guessing?
[12:19] <jenkins> normally i would do subprocess.Popen(['disper', '-c', '-r', '1024x768'"]) but I need it to be the variable in the middle there. yes for quickshot, just sorting out a pastebin
[12:19] <nisshh> jenkins: iv got to go eat dinner, but ill be back a bit later, ill help you out then if i can
[12:19] <jenkins> ok cool see you later
[12:19] <nisshh> cya
[12:23] <jenkins> example http://paste.ubuntu.com/460592/ gedit hello works for everyone hence I have used that instead
[12:31] <jenkins> basically I need subprocess to open the gopen variable
[12:36] <nisshh> jenkins: so, what does that code do?
[12:37] <jenkins> it should do the command "gedit open" like you would in a bash shell
[12:37] <nisshh> ah, so it sort of executes shell commands, through python?
[12:38] <jenkins> if you do import subprocess; subprocess.Popen(['gedit', 'hello']) thats what I am trying to do but with variables. yep shell commands through python
[12:38] <nisshh> right
[12:43] <nisshh> jenkins: whats wrong with the code you first tried, from what iv experimented with it should work
[12:43] <jenkins> what code?
[12:43] <nisshh> jenkins: 18:59:16 < jenkins> if I have a variable called "res"  which is res = "'disper', '-c', '-r', '1024x768'" , how do i use subprocess.Popen to open it? I have tried  subprocess.Popen([str(res)]) and subprocess.Popen([res]) but they don't work. Any suggestions?
[12:43] <nisshh> THAT^^^
[12:43] <nisshh> code
[12:44] <jenkins>  does not work for me in my pastebin example
[12:45] <nisshh> jenkins: 1 sec ill brb
[12:51] <nisshh> jenkins: does it spit out an error? or something else?
[12:54] <jenkins> nisshh: the error is http://paste.ubuntu.com/460600/ and the file is http://paste.ubuntu.com/460601/
[12:56] <nisshh> jenkins: remove the 'hello' part and just try gedit on its own
[12:58] <jenkins> ok gedit works but all the commands have several parts to them
[12:58] <nisshh> jenkins: right, maybe remove the space after the comma, i dont think that will matter but yea, and remove the str maybe
[12:59] <nisshh> jenkins: what you want to do is cut the code down to minimum and add bits on until it errors again
[12:59] <nisshh> then you will be able to solve each error in turn
[13:02] <jenkins> I have just worked out that I can use os.system() instead of subproecss, there is a differnce between the two I will have to work out what it is
[13:03] <nisshh> jenkins: ok, no probs
[13:04] <jenkins> thanks nisshh, not sure why but I think subprocess is better, so it would be good if it would work
[13:04] <godbyk-android> Put [] around the rhs of the gopen line
[13:05] <godbyk-android> Then pass gopen to popen without [] or str.
[13:06] <jenkins> so like this? subprocess.Popen([gopen])
[13:09] <godbyk-android> Remove the []
[13:10] <jenkins> that did not help is this right? gopen = "'gedit', 'hello'"
[13:11] <godbyk-android> and put them around the gopen = ["blah", "blah"] line
[13:11] <godbyk-android> (sorry. On my phone. Typing is slow.)
[13:11] <jenkins> thanks godbyk-android it works now
[13:12] <godbyk-android> No problem
[13:13] <godbyk-android> It appears that I woke up for a 7 am irc meeting that's not happening.
[13:13] <godbyk-android> :-(
[13:14] <thorwil> godbyk-android: would you feel better to just hold the meeting with me?
[13:21] <jenkins> i hope that the meeting on sat is able to happen, we need people from all teams to come
[13:32] <godbyk> jenkins: I'll be there (I hope).
[13:33] <godbyk> Well, since I'm awake, I guess I'll take a shower and find some breakfast.
[13:33] <godbyk> be back in a bit.
[13:50] <ChrisWoollard> Afternoon All.
[13:52] <jenkins> hello ChrisWoollard
[13:52] <ChrisWoollard> Obviously it is quiet at this time of day
[13:52] <ChrisWoollard> Hello Jenkins
[13:52] <ChrisWoollard> Jenkins. Are you in England?
[13:52] <jenkins> ChrisWoollard: I am indeed
[13:53] <ChrisWoollard> Where in the country?
[13:53] <jenkins> banbury
[13:53] <jenkins> north of oxford
[13:54] <ChrisWoollard> I was thinking of the nursery rhyme
[13:54] <jenkins> yep, there is now a bronze horse in banbury because of the nursery rhyme
[13:55] <ChrisWoollard> Are you a student or do you work :)
[13:55] <jenkins> I am a student,
[13:56] <ChrisWoollard> I am in London myself (and work).
[13:57] <jenkins> I will be working from august, as I am on placement
[13:57] <ChrisWoollard> That's good.
[13:57] <jenkins> yea it will be fun, just not as much time to hang out on irc :P
[13:57] <ChrisWoollard> At my workplace we have had quite a lot of work placement students/
[13:58] <ChrisWoollard> The decent ones now actually have proper jobs with us.
[13:59] <jenkins> thats what I am hoping to get a job with them after my degree
[14:00] <ChrisWoollard> What
[14:01] <ChrisWoollard> Sorry. pressed enter by mistake.
[14:01] <ChrisWoollard> Do you know what you have to do yet?
[14:01] <jenkins> not exactly, I know i am working on gas engines that are used for power generation. Big engines!
[14:02] <ChrisWoollard> Ok. That sounds interesting.
[14:02] <jenkins> they are the size of small cars and weigh 7-10 tons
[14:02] <ChrisWoollard> What are you studying? I assumed computer science or something. But now I am not sure.
[14:03] <jenkins> Mechanical engineering
[14:04] <ChrisWoollard> Nice
[14:05] <jenkins> I would like to do some computer since stuff but i find programming lessons boring, we had one on matlab it sucked.
[14:05] <ChrisWoollard> I have no idea what matlab is?
[14:06] <jenkins> its for doing engineering/practical math calculations, with nice graphs
[14:07] <ChrisWoollard> Ok. Sounds a bit complicated.
[14:09]  * jenkins goes to water the garden
[14:09] <ChrisWoollard> laters
[14:09] <jenkins> later
[15:01]  * jenkins is doing a better job at watering himself than the garden
[15:42] <flan> jenkins, for reference, I usually become available for random questions at the start of the current hour.
[15:44] <jenkins> ok thanks flan
[17:24] <jenkins> collaboration meeting on saturday 10th 8pm utc, if you are coming please add yourself to the list. http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/collaborationmeeting , you can also add agenda items there. If everyone can add the pros and cons for docbook or mallard as the content pool http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/prosandcons
[17:25] <nisshh> jenkins: your like an icecream van advertising with a megaphone :)
[17:44] <jenkins> nisshh: thats the idea :)
[17:44] <jenkins> bbl
[18:52] <jenkins> hello again
[19:20] <daker> hi
[19:22] <zkriesse> hello daker
[19:22] <daker> qs website will available next week
[19:22] <daker> be*
[21:40] <godbyk> Hey, c7p. In the .tex file you emailed me yesterday, there's a bug.  Search for '\dasho' and replace it with '\dash '  (i.e., remove the o or put a space between \dash and the o).
[21:42] <c7p> godbyk: ok fixed
[21:43] <godbyk> thanks.
[21:44] <godbyk> c7p: I've just uploaded a copy of the PDF to http://builds.ubuntu-manual.org/builds/ubuntu-manual-el.pdf if you'd like to check it over.
[21:44] <godbyk> Let me know of any bugs you find.
[21:44] <godbyk> I *think* the glossary page numbers are correct now, but could you double-check for me?
[21:45] <godbyk> Feel free to leave any notes here.
[21:45] <godbyk> I'll be back in a bit.  I need to read a couple book chapters.
[21:46] <c7p> ok i am not sure if i can stay for long today, cause i go to wake up early tomorrow, but tomorrow we will do whatever you want
[21:46] <c7p> but will try :)
[21:49] <Guest42801> the revision number and date need to take care, and i think the glossary problem still affects some linke (page 131 shoud be 132)
[21:49] <Guest42801> the index worls fine though :D
[21:49] <Guest42801> *works
[21:51] <c7p> yap the pg 131 ref bug still exists
[21:52] <c7p> and pg 28 (maximize)
[21:56] <Guest42801> and the two blank pages before the index are still there
[22:02] <c7p> so here we have the todo list : http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/3sIwez7O8A
[22:19] <c7p> godbyk g2g cu tomorrow, insult Guest42801 (topo) if he is around, in case there is something that have to be done
[22:20] <c7p> night/morning/evening all
[22:39] <jenkins> flan: I think humphreybc is going to buy www.quickshot.org
[22:49] <jenkins> I wonder how many hits we will get :P It will be harder to get to the top of google
[22:50] <jenkins> I am excited to see the site in all its glory
[23:02] <jenkins> has and e-mail subjected  "8/7/2010......REMINDER......REPLY ASAP....."   hit anyone's spam box today? it is bcc'd so I don't know if it was sent to a mailing list or not. It claims the e-mail sent to them may be spam.
