jonolet us know if you see the slide change23:03
jono[SLIDE 2]23:03
jono[SLIDE 3]23:03
jono[SLIDE 4]23:03
jonocan I ask a quick question - when I originally wrote Lernid, it would automatically change the tabs to the slide view if you were looking at another tab when a slide change or wb page was shown23:04
jonoI think it should work that way, otherwise people might miss the slides or pages23:04
jonothoughts?23:04
jsjgruberI never noticed it work that way. I'll write it down.23:05
jonojsjgruber: yeah, someone wrote a patch to not switch slides, and I think a lot of people never see the slides display because they don't notice the tab go bold23:06
jonogoing to test looking at a website such as http://www.ubuntu.com23:06
jonoworks here23:07
jono[SLIDE 5]23:08
jonolets look at http://planet.ubuntu.com23:09
ClassBotjonobacon asked: is this a question?23:12
jsjgruberlinks should be underlined in blue and should be clickable23:12
ClassBotDarthpbal asked: question here23:12
jonojsjgruber want to discuss anything?23:13
jsjgruberI can probably run through a few of the things that changed23:13
jonosounds great!23:14
jsjgruberThe first on my list was to look to make sure that nicks were both upper and lower case, does everyone see that for ClassBot?23:15
jsjgruberAnother item is to use the Help->About box to check the version, it should be 0.8.123:16
jsjgruberIs anyone running with a non-English locale? There are two translation mergers in the release, plus a change to some of the code related to gettext. This is an area I have particular trouble with. Since It appeared to me that Afrikans was a completely new set of translations I've been trying to test by starting lernid from the command line with:23:19
jsjgruberLANGUAGE=af lernid23:19
jsjgruberIs there anyone who wants to test but is running lucid?23:28
nhandlerjsjgruber: Wouldn't the daily PPA work for that?23:29
jsjgrubernhandler, yes, I think there may be one in there23:30
jsjgruberWhen I tried to expand the Lernid window and then would quit, I expected it to start the next time with the expanded window. That wasn't working reliably and depended upon how Lernid was closed. Could you expand the window, give yourself more space for the top panel, and then pick a way to close? (By that I mean by menu item or clicking in the close box).23:32
jsjgruberNext restart Lernid, the screen should return to the same size as you had no matter how you quit from it. When you start it you might just see a slide loading progress message (authored by others) on the status bar at the very bottom left, and you should see a "Slides have been downloaded". There are other status messages that come up down there, too.23:33
jsjgruberswitching web page to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom   does that come up again for folks? Someone had a problem with https:// addresses23:38
jsjgruberDoes the screensize look right when you restart lernid after changing the screen size?23:39
jsjgruberThere was also a minor logic error in a program parameter. Could you start23:47
jsjgruberlernid with both:23:47
jsjgruberlernid --classroom ubuntu-classroom23:47
jsjgruberand23:47
jsjgruberlernid --classroom \#ubuntu-classroom23:47
jsjgruberThese should both work.23:47
jsjgruberIf you have trouble, be user to bring lernid back the default way so you can continue along with us23:47
ClassBotThere are 10 minutes remaining in the current session.23:50
jsjgruberFor the second case be sure to include the backslash so the shell doesn't mess you up23:50
jsjgruberNow for a couple of web page loads that gave lernid trouble:23:52
jsjgruberhttp://lmgtfy.com/?q=lernid23:52
jsjgruberThat one didn't crash lernid, but gave a traceback, and a scary message about lernid crashing on beta natty.23:52
jsjgruberLet's test flash in the web browser:23:52
jsjgruberhttp://youtube.com23:52
jsjgruberPlease pick a video you like and try to play it. The quality, sync, etc. depends on the quality of the clip, but it shouldn't freeze Lernid.23:52
jsjgruberAny problems with Lernid while or shortly after starting the clip?23:52
jsjgruberI'll let anyone who wants try you tube first, and then I'll bring back 'let me google that for you'23:53
jsjgruberHow are people doing? please respond in the chatroom.23:55
ClassBotThere are 5 minutes remaining in the current session.23:55
jsjgruberhttp://lmgtfy.com/?q=lernid23:56
jsjgruberFor this you should automatically go to google without a traceback message23:57
jsjgruberFrom others there are some translations of "Users #" above the chatroom window. German has it, for example, but not Afrikans.23:58
jsjgruberLANGUAGE=de lernid23:58
