[00:25] dutchie: drat! I'm not a member, but I'd love to test it with our manual a bit. [00:27] out of folks in here, humphreybc, zkriesse, jussi, h00k, pleia2, issyl0, AlanBell and I think nisshh are members [00:28] one of those is bound to be happy to help [00:28] dutchie: you're not a member yet? I'm surprised. [00:29] feel free to add to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/dutchie :) [00:29] I need to update my wiki page sometime: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KevinGodby [00:33] looks like everyone who pinged me earlier is offline now. I hate that. :) [00:34] i should be offline [00:35] it's gone half past midnight [00:40] but it's the last day of my last ever term at school tomorrow \o/ [00:42] awesome! congrats! [00:42] i went to the pub with my maths teacher this afternoon :) [00:50] dutchie: \o/ [00:51] you are unlikely to see me much for a week or two due to holidays and whatnot [00:52] dutchie: sure thing. [00:52] dutchie: tell humphreybc to design the mockup for bugs.u-m.o [00:53] \o/ [00:53] 00:52:58 < daker> dutchie: tell humphreybc to design the mockup for bugs.u-m.o [00:54] and with that, i am going to bed [00:54] i will be around friday (hungover) a little bit [00:54] then away for a week sat-sat [00:54] blah [00:54] I've been avoiding doing that [00:55] creating forms in photoshop is time consuming [00:55] maybe if you used the gimp... [00:55] daker: did you get the quickshot site? [00:55] ok, bed now [00:55] goodnight [00:55] dutchie: then it would be four times as time consuming [00:55] euh did you sent something ? [00:56] daker: yes [00:56] to your email [00:56] oki [00:56] the quickshot PSD [00:56] kk [00:57] received [01:23] someone said me [01:23] Yeah, I'm a Member [01:26] does anyone know how to get the RSS feed from my blog just for a certain tag? [01:26] I'm adding my blog to planet ubuntu [01:27] http://humphreybc.wordpress.com/category/ubuntu/ [01:27] want to add that category [01:27] I just need an rss link for it [01:28] http://humphreybc.wordpress.com/category/ubuntu/feed/ maybe? [01:29] humphreybc: looks like that works. [01:29] okay [01:29] I can have a look at other peoples things too [01:31] yeah [01:31] that should work [09:05] o/ [09:11] \o [09:15] 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] a bit late for me and i doubt i would have anything to add ... you guys will get it right :) [10:46] If everyone can add the pros and cons for docbook or mallard as the content pool http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/prosandcons [11:02] hey thorwil, are you around ? [11:06] do anyone know what's tha paper size of the manual ? [11:06] c7p: it depends on the language [11:06] let's say for the English manual [11:07] I *think* english us is us letter, english uk is a4 letter [11:08] ok thx :) [11:10] np [11:14] jenkins: when do you go on camping ? [11:14] go camping* [11:14] I have been c7p it was fun :) . I was very tired [11:14] :p oh cool, but you where almost every time online [11:15] I went on friday lucnh time and came back sunday evening [11:15] only a short camp really close by [11:16] nice :) [11:17] so I can make the thread that i was talking about [11:18] yea sure thing [11:35] 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] the standard paper size in Greece is A4 [11:40] so i guess a4 [11:42] c7p: lulu's approximation of that, yes [11:58] dutchie: ping [11:59] 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] nisshh: ping ^ [12:16] jenkins: woah, sorry i didnt expect anyone to ping right now [12:16] nisshh: no worries [12:16] jenkins: hmm, i dunno, im not that good with python, can you explain a bit more [12:17] jenkins: can you pastebin your code? [12:17] 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] yea [12:18] this is for quickshot im guessing? [12:19] 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] jenkins: iv got to go eat dinner, but ill be back a bit later, ill help you out then if i can [12:19] ok cool see you later [12:19] cya [12:23] example http://paste.ubuntu.com/460592/ gedit hello works for everyone hence I have used that instead [12:31] basically I need subprocess to open the gopen variable [12:36] jenkins: so, what does that code do? [12:37] it should do the command "gedit open" like you would in a bash shell [12:37] ah, so it sort of executes shell commands, through python? [12:38] 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] right [12:43] jenkins: whats wrong with the code you first tried, from what iv experimented with it should work [12:43] what code? [12:43] 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] THAT^^^ [12:43] code [12:44] does not work for me in my pastebin example [12:45] jenkins: 1 sec ill brb [12:51] jenkins: does it spit out an error? or something else? [12:54] nisshh: the error is http://paste.ubuntu.com/460600/ and the file is http://paste.ubuntu.com/460601/ [12:56] jenkins: remove the 'hello' part and just try gedit on its own [12:58] ok gedit works but all the commands have several parts to them [12:58] jenkins: right, maybe remove the space after the comma, i dont think that will matter but yea, and remove the str maybe [12:59] jenkins: what you want to do is cut the code down to minimum and add bits on until it errors again [12:59] then you will be able to solve each error in turn [13:02] 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] jenkins: ok, no probs [13:04] thanks nisshh, not sure why but I think subprocess is better, so it would be good if it would work [13:04] Put [] around the rhs of the gopen line [13:05] Then pass gopen to popen without [] or str. [13:06] so like this? subprocess.Popen([gopen]) [13:09] Remove the [] [13:10] that did not help is this right? gopen = "'gedit', 'hello'" [13:11] and put them around the gopen = ["blah", "blah"] line [13:11] (sorry. On my phone. Typing is slow.) [13:11] thanks godbyk-android it works now [13:12] No problem [13:13] It appears that I woke up for a 7 am irc meeting that's not happening. [13:13] :-( [13:14] godbyk-android: would you feel better to just hold the meeting with me? [13:21] i hope that the meeting on sat is able to happen, we need people from all teams to come [13:32] jenkins: I'll be there (I hope). [13:33] Well, since I'm awake, I guess I'll take a shower and find some breakfast. [13:33] be back in a bit. [13:50] Afternoon All. [13:52] hello ChrisWoollard [13:52] Obviously it is quiet at this time of day [13:52] Hello Jenkins [13:52] Jenkins. Are you in England? [13:52] ChrisWoollard: I am indeed [13:53] Where in the country? [13:53] banbury [13:53] north of oxford [13:54] I was thinking of the nursery rhyme [13:54] yep, there is now a bronze horse in banbury because of the nursery rhyme [13:55] Are you a student or do you work :) [13:55] I am a student, [13:56] I am in London myself (and work). [13:57] I will be working from august, as I am on placement [13:57] That's good. [13:57] yea it will be fun, just not as much time to hang out on irc :P [13:57] At my workplace we have had quite a lot of work placement students/ [13:58] The decent ones now actually have proper jobs with us. [13:59] thats what I am hoping to get a job with them after my degree [14:00] What [14:01] Sorry. pressed enter by mistake. [14:01] Do you know what you have to do yet? [14:01] not exactly, I know i am working on gas engines that are used for power generation. Big engines! [14:02] Ok. That sounds interesting. [14:02] they are the size of small cars and weigh 7-10 tons [14:02] What are you studying? I assumed computer science or something. But now I am not sure. [14:03] Mechanical engineering [14:04] Nice [14:05] I would like to do some computer since stuff but i find programming lessons boring, we had one on matlab it sucked. [14:05] I have no idea what matlab is? [14:06] its for doing engineering/practical math calculations, with nice graphs [14:07] Ok. Sounds a bit complicated. [14:09] * jenkins goes to water the garden [14:09] laters [14:09] later [15:01] * jenkins is doing a better job at watering himself than the garden [15:42] jenkins, for reference, I usually become available for random questions at the start of the current hour. [15:44] ok thanks flan [17:24] 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] jenkins: your like an icecream van advertising with a megaphone :) [17:44] nisshh: thats the idea :) [17:44] bbl [18:52] hello again [19:20] hi [19:22] hello daker [19:22] qs website will available next week [19:22] be* === jussi is now known as jussio1 [21:40] 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] godbyk: ok fixed [21:43] thanks. [21:44] 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] Let me know of any bugs you find. [21:44] I *think* the glossary page numbers are correct now, but could you double-check for me? [21:45] Feel free to leave any notes here. [21:45] I'll be back in a bit. I need to read a couple book chapters. [21:46] 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] but will try :) [21:49] 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] the index worls fine though :D [21:49] *works [21:51] yap the pg 131 ref bug still exists [21:52] and pg 28 (maximize) [21:56] and the two blank pages before the index are still there [22:02] so here we have the todo list : http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/3sIwez7O8A === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse [22:19] godbyk g2g cu tomorrow, insult Guest42801 (topo) if he is around, in case there is something that have to be done [22:20] night/morning/evening all [22:39] flan: I think humphreybc is going to buy www.quickshot.org [22:49] I wonder how many hits we will get :P It will be harder to get to the top of google [22:50] I am excited to see the site in all its glory [23:02] 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.
