[00:20] pleia2, is there things I can do for ubuntu-news during the week. is finding news articles needed? [00:20] philipballew: yep, you just add them to the google doc [00:21] is there say like a catagory I need to sign up for that is my job to look for, or is it first come, first serve [00:21] first come first serve [00:22] whenever you find an article, just toss it in the doc [00:22] at the end of the week we'll review them, move them around and delete duplicates or ones that don't really work for the newslette [00:22] r [00:24] sounds good. ill go to it this week [00:25] thanks :) [00:25] any time :) and do they have to be text articles or video articles? [00:26] we've always done text [00:28] alright. sounds good :) [04:19] pleia2: i might be back home by then... probably not though [04:19] ill probably be home about now tomorrow nite [04:21] holstein: hm, would the next week be better? [04:21] I won't be home by this time tomorrow (after release I need to run out the door) [04:21] pleia2: probably not :/ [04:21] the monday nite thing is steady for me [04:21] i usually get in late-ish [04:21] ah [04:22] i have a monday off every couple months [04:22] btw everyone, we need editors: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue228 [04:23] not sure what my next monday looks like since I'll have company in town but I *should* be around late [04:23] anyway, dinnertime :) [04:56] * nlsthzn waves [10:30] * NRWlion waves === nlsthzn_ is now known as nlsthzn_work [15:01] So what is the status... has the new issue been proof read enough times (I did scan it myself a few times and all looked well...) [16:12] nhandler: another pair of eyes to proof-read would be good [16:12] not sure anyone has really gone through it except me [16:39] pleia2, have you gotten another proof reader? [16:39] not yet [16:39] oh, I meant nlsthzn_work above, not nhandler [16:40] if not let me know I'll go through it once I finish my lunch... [16:40] ah monday mornings :) [16:40] akgraner: oh, please do! [16:40] 20 mins give or take... [16:40] take your time :) [16:40] will do... [16:40] pleia2: hehe... no prob I will also go through it once more... slowly... many eyes and things about bugs... ;) [16:42] pleia2: that awesome site you used last time to test all the links already used? [16:43] * nlsthzn_work forgot to bookmark it :p [16:46] OK, so ubuntu stats are still outstanding right... [16:47] ... also top 5 questions... [16:48] nlsthzn_work: yep I'm doing them soon [16:48] still using the same scrips to pull those pleia2 ? [16:48] oh wait do I have those on this machine? /me wonders aloud.... [16:48] akgraner: there are scripts to pull the security and updates, not most stats afaik [16:49] you're right - I was thinking of ask Ubuntu... [16:50] one sec let me look - I'll give you a hand..:-) [16:51] nlsthzn_work: it's http://validator.w3.org/checklink and I used it :) [16:51] akgraner: no worries, I've got it [16:51] k [16:52] thanks :) [16:59] k, all done [17:11] reading it now... [17:35] pleia2, finished..:-) [17:35] way to many interruptions... [18:49] akgraner: will you be around in 2 hours for newsletter release? (was planning on 8PM eastern for release, but my evening time is limited) [18:50] yeppers [18:50] ok cool :) I'll ping you around 5 eastern then [18:50] someone else is picking up the kids at bandcamp so I'll be here... [19:37] akgraner: Hey! Nice to see you on irc :) [19:37] zkriesse, thanks - it's just been a weird year...:-/ [19:37] akgraner: :/ yeah tht kinda sucks [19:37] Glad things are going better for you finally though :) [19:38] me too! Thank you! [21:02] akgraner: ping [21:02] pleia2, pong [21:03] do you actually want to do the publishing (please do!) or do you want to just learn the script? [21:03] scripts [21:03] yes [21:04] ok, so first step is grabbing all the new scripts from lp:uwn [21:04] if you already have an uwn/ from bzr you can just cd into that directory and do "bzr pull" otherwise: bzr branch lp:uwn [21:04] ok I've never gotten anything from LP before - people would always just send me the scripts [21:04] ahh ok [21:05] ok one sec.. [21:10] ok so I had to install bzr - sudo apt-get install bzr [21:10] then after that I ran: bzr branch lp:uwn [21:10] now I am getting the following error - You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to [21:10] write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login". [21:11] but it said it branched it, right? [21:11] ahh yes [21:11] I got - Branched 16 revision(s). [21:11] you don't need to write to it and there is no private data, so you can check it out anonymously without a problem [21:12] do you have an uwn/ directory now? [21:12] I do... [21:12] ok, cd into that directory [21:12] crap not on this machine I don't [21:12] one sec let me create it - can you tell me how to do that from the command line [21:12] the bzr command should have created it [21:12] oh ok [21:12] if it didn't then the checkout failed [21:13] * akgraner looks [21:13] akgraner@windorf:~$ cd uwn [21:13] akgraner@windorf:~/uwn$ [21:13] great :) [21:13] yep it did.. [21:13] ok, now open up fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl [21:14] on line 15 there will be place to put your fridge login name [21:14] my $o = WordPress::XMLRPC->new({ [21:14] username => 'akgraner', [21:14] so put in your username and password for fridge, then save the file [21:15] ahh ok so I need to edit the script then... [21:15] one sec [21:15] yep [21:16] you don't need to do this every time you publish, this is just initial set up stuff [21:17] gotcha - now I opened it from the gui - how would someone open the file from the command line.. [21:17] nano fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl [21:17] nano is a pretty simple text editor that comes with ubuntu [21:17] but editing with gedit is fine [21:21] * nlsthzn_work likes nano... [21:23] pleia2, between response and content [21:24] hm? [21:24] line 15 including empty lines? [21:24] it's the line just under [21:24] my $o = WordPress::XMLRPC->new({ [21:24] I don't see that - one sec... [21:25] says: username => 'FRIDGE USERNAME GOES HERE', [21:28] pleia2, I don't think I am looking at the right script - I think I opened the one from my old UWN dir.. one sec let me move it.. [21:28] ok [21:32] ok so I had to go into the Fridge folder then the right script was there [21:33] ok edited [21:33] and saved [21:34] great [21:35] sorry for the delay [21:35] ok, now are you in the new uwn/ directory? [21:35] yep [21:36] ok, type: perl publish-uwn.pl 228 [21:37] we might need a perl or python module somewhere [21:37] Can't locate Text/Unidecode.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at publish-uwn.pl line 5.

[21:51] nlsthzn_work: this is just setting the environment up, we hope to have the process fine-tuned soon [21:51] :) [21:51] once we know all the things to install [21:52] akgraner: can you type this again: install WordPress::XMLRPC [21:52] yep [21:52] see if you get the same error [21:53] Running install for module 'WordPress::XMLRPC' [21:53] Running make for L/LE/LEOCHARRE/WordPress-XMLRPC-1.23.tar.gz [21:53] Prepending blib/arch and blib/lib of 12 build dirs to PERL5LIB; for 'get' [21:53] Has already been unwrapped into directory /home/akgraner/.cpan/build/WordPress-XMLRPC-1.23-R0jOEF [21:53] Prepending blib/arch and blib/lib of 12 build dirs to PERL5LIB; for 'make' [21:53] Has already been made [21:53] Prepending blib/arch and blib/lib of 12 build dirs to PERL5LIB; for 'test' [21:53] Running make test [21:53] Has already been tested successfully [21:53] Running make install [21:53] Already tried without success [21:53] cpan[4]> [21:53] ok, do this: [21:54] o conf prerequisites_policy follow [21:56] cpan[5]> o conf prerequisites_policy follow [21:56] prerequisites_policy [follow] [21:56] Please use 'o conf commit' to make the config permanent!

[22:00] alright, now in uwn/ open up publish-uwn.pl [22:00] the last line of the file should be: system("fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl $issue"); [22:00] put a # before that, so it looks like: [22:00] #system("fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl $issue"); [22:01] that will comment out running of that script, which is not working for us right now [22:04] ok [22:04] once that's done, run the publish script again: perl publish-uwn-fridge.pl 228 [22:04] ok have a prompt now [22:04] :-) [22:05] ok, that will have created uwn/issues/228 [22:05] so cd into issues/228/ [22:05] cd issues/228/ [22:05] akgraner@windorf:~/uwn/issues/228$ [22:05] in that directory you'll find all the files you need for publishing :) [22:06] ahh ok [22:06] * akgraner looks [22:07] So now it's just copy and paste then? [22:07] the one thing we haven't fixed yet is forum.post [22:08] so open forum.post in gedit [22:08] then go to Search > Replace [22:08] search for \n\n [22:08] replace with \n [22:08] gotcha [22:08] but everything else is cut and paste... [22:08] then replace all [22:08] yeah [22:10] and might want to eyeball them all to make sure everything looks ok [22:13] pleia2, I'm not seeing /n/n [22:13] \n\n [22:13] DOH [22:13] nm [22:15] ok also is this when you remove work in progress? [22:15] oh, doh :( [22:15] we should have done that first [22:15] ok I'll fix the copies [22:15] :-) [22:15] but it's ok, we can run the scripts again [22:15] so you would remove it from the wiki and just run the scripts again [22:16] yeah [22:16] k [22:16] just getting that detail noted :-) [22:17] oh, and add your name as a volunteer [22:20] nah..no worries :-) [22:20] akgraner: did you want to do that and remove comments? [22:20] I can do it if not [22:21] I can remove the comments [22:21] one sec [22:21] is that the only manual part? [22:21] removing the work in progress and comments [22:22] and making sure the publisher is added to credits ;) [22:22] yes [22:24] hehe - ok [22:26] ok done...publishing now - in what order are you publishing them now [22:26] mailing list, Fridge, Forums, other mailing lists? [22:27] just a general comment - it's fine to run the publish-uwn.pl script a bunch of times with the fridge section commented out, but if the fridge part isn't commented out only run it once [22:27] all the rest of the scripts just dump things in issues/228, but the fridge script actually logs into the fridge and creates a draft, if you run it a bunch of times it'll make a bunch of drafts, no good :) [22:28] akgraner: we're following your old release format [22:28] so yeah [22:28] whatever order you always did :) [22:28] ok [22:28] the only change is that we don't announce it in a bunch of channels anymore, just here [22:28] got from here then lets see if I forget anything [22:28] :-) [22:28] yay, thanks! [22:28] pleia2, yw [22:28] oh! the fridge part [22:28] thanks for letting me help [22:29] I ran the fridge script [22:29] oh ok..cool [22:29] so just log into the fridge and review the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter Issue 228 - Draft [22:29] gotvha [22:29] if it's ok just hit publish [22:29] gotcha even :-) [22:29] :) [22:33] oh wow, I just realized my ubuntu-news post for issue 227 never actually went out to the ubuntu-news list :( [22:34] well, it'll hit everyone's mailboxes late [22:42] The new edition of the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is now available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue228 [22:45] ok it's all published [22:45] :-) [22:45] Thanks for letting me help :-) Did you grab the logs pleia2?
