magespawngood day all09:07
magespawnanybody expert with scribus 1.5 trunk?09:08
confluencyWhich one is that?  The stable or the beta?09:12
confluencyWhich package did you install?09:12
magespawni think the beta. hold on brb.09:12
confluencyAnyway, ask your question.  I haven't used it in a long time but I may remember something.09:12
magespawnBuild ID: C-C-T-F-C1.8.1009:13
confluencyUh... how did you install it?09:13
confluencyOhhhhh, I see where you said trunk. :P09:14
confluencyBuilt from source?09:14
magespawni think so09:14
confluencyWhat do you mean you think so? ;)09:14
magespawni cannot remember09:14
magespawni keep getting this error message when i try to put in an image frame09:15
magespawnYour Render Frame configuration seems to be invalid. Please check the settings in the External Tools section of the Preferences dialog.09:15
confluencyWhat does dpkg -l | grep scribus say?09:16
magespawnii  scribus                                                  1.3.3.13.dfsg~svn20081228-2ubuntu2              Open Source Desktop Page Layout09:17
magespawnii  scribus-trunk                                            1.5.0svn201012022356-12~lucid1                  Open Source Desktop Page Layout - developmen09:17
confluencyDo you have some kind of special repository enabled?09:18
magespawnagain not sure. how do i check?09:19
confluencyAlso, before you do anything else, try upgrading the package to make sure you have the latest version.  But that looks pretty new.09:19
confluencyls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/09:19
confluencyand cat /etc/apt/sources.list09:20
tumbleweedconfluency: I'm guessing scribus daily builds: https://code.launchpad.net/~scribus/+archive/ppa/+packages09:21
tumbleweed(but without an apt source, or it would be up to date)09:22
magespawnhttp://codepad.org/CLu21yTz09:22
confluencyYar, I just found that.09:22
confluencyIt looks like there's a newer package.  From January.09:22
magespawnhttp://codepad.org/D3PmVtFk09:23
confluencymagespawn: OK, it's fine.  You have the scribus PPA enabled.09:23
confluencySo upgrade first and see if it still happens.09:23
confluencyIf it still happens, I suggest asking in #scribus.09:23
magespawnit was working. okay brb09:24
magespawni did it from within scribus go this back :No updates are available for your version of Scribus 1.5.0.svn09:25
magespawn- Scribus 1.3.3.14 is the latest stable release.09:25
magespawn- We have stabilised 1.3.3.x for those wishing to use some new features of the 1.3.x series but need more stability.09:25
magespawn- Scribus 1.3.8 was released 22 July 2010 09:25
magespawnFinished09:25
tumbleweedmagespawn: this is ubuntu, update it with your package manager09:26
magespawnokay. how?09:26
magespawnthe ubuntu software center?09:27
tumbleweedI don't know what tool you normally use, but "aptitude update" followed by "aptitude install scribus-trunk" (or just "aptitude full-upgrade") should do the trick09:27
magespawnokay brb09:27
magespawnthanks for the help10:13
tumbleweednp, was the issue you were having fixed in the newer build?10:14
magespawnno . but i do not need the render frames anyway. i thought i was using image frames. it looks like you have to set up the renders frames using something like latex which i do not need at the moment.10:34
magespawnso a bit of a non issue at the moment really.10:34

nlsthzninetpro: tell me about it...18:12
inetproKilos: was your problem fixed by just booting from the cd?18:13
inetprosurely you did something more than just booting?18:13
Kilosyou first have to zero the drive and then when you boot from the cd the motherboard actually puts the machine code for the mbr back18:14
Kilosi booted and installed maverick cause was clean18:14
Kilosdrive was clean18:14
Kilosthat mbr is a swine to fix18:15
Kiloswhen you zero the drive it is the same as a new one18:16
inetproKilos: ahh... the clue is that you re-installed18:23
inetprowhat you mean with zeroing teh drive is actually just cleaning the mbr record on the drive18:24
inetpros/teh/the/18:24
Kilosyip18:26
inetproKilos: the mbr is just 512 bytes that live on the first sector of the drive18:26
inetproKilos: ok I guess you also knew that, just wanted to make sure18:33
Kilosyip but if they corrupt or gone the drive is buggered inetpro 18:44
