[08:14] morning all [10:11] I'm applying for Ubuntu Membership. I have a wiki page if someone would like to add their testimonial: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JoErlendSchinstad. === mpt_ is now known as mpt [13:42] Hi I am new to Ubuntu dev and is using quickly to write a small app. I want to add a splash screen (dialog with a quit and continue button) to my quickly app. Could someone direct me to a tutorial or how to [14:22] cortexuvula, hmm [14:22] cortexuvula, good question. [14:26] cortexuvula, splash screens don't normally have a quit button though. Are you thinking of something like a "Tip of the Day" thing? [14:28] medical app that I am writing so on the splash I want to indicate a warning "This app is not ....." so if you disagree the app should quit and agree then continues to main window [14:29] yeah something like a modified "tip of the day" [14:33] cortexuvula, ah ok. [14:34] cortexuvula, I think you want to make a dialog with two buttons, where one button's action is to quit and the other's is to go on to the rest of the app [14:34] cortexuvula, do you know how to make a Gtk dialog? [14:35] rebooting. brb. [14:35] jml exactly what I want [14:35] i have add a dialog with quickly add dialog warning [14:36] cortexuvula, you might also find this tutorial interesting. It's not exactly what you're trying to do, but it touches a range of subjects that should be useful (Gtk dialogs, glade, etc) -> http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tutorials/all/diy-media-player-with-pygtk/ [14:37] dpm I will have a look at the tutorial [14:38] cortexuvula, cool, let us know how it works for you [14:38] jml Give me a day to check the tutorial if I do not find an answer I will check back here [14:39] cortexuvula, sure. I'll be around here during UK work hours (and others will be around too) [14:39] Thanks for the help thus far :-) [14:39] np === mpt_ is now known as mpt === jml is now known as jml` === jml` is now known as jml [15:51] How do I make my own documentation for my application? [15:51] Like I want it to show up in the Help Viewer on Ubuntu. [15:53] jackyalcine, I don't know :( [15:53] jackyalcine, that's a good question though. [15:53] jackyalcine, very good question. More like a manual than an API doc then? [15:53] Yes. [15:54] This way, I could have hyperlinks in applications link to it. [15:54] I think maybe you can use the DocBook format for that, but I'm not sure. [15:54] Although a good application shouldn't require documentation, the application I'm building (speech recognition training utility) isn't mediocre :P [15:54] Do you know where I'd have to put it? [15:54] jackyalcine, if you are thinking of user documentation, you can run the 'quickly create ubuntu-application nameofyourapp' and there you should have an example of documentation pages [15:55] they are the files with the .page extension [15:55] they are in a format called Mallard, quite similar to docbook [15:56] Nifty! I'll try it out. [15:59] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/816594/ [15:59] oops, too late, nevermind [15:59] hello, how do i get started on devloping apps for Ubuntu ! :D [16:00] pratheek_, I love questions with easy answers :-) There you go: http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ [16:03] @dpm: OK, thanks for the link ! also, if I had to make my application suitable to work in any other Linux distro (other than ubuntu, like Fedora where .rpm is used) How would I be able to do that ? [16:04] pratheek_, quickly, the tool that page talks about, simply puts together a set of other tools that should work in any distribution [16:04] then you'd only have to worry about the packaging, which is indeed different for every distribution [16:05] quickly only helps you creating .deb files for Ubuntu, which work also in Debian and any derivatives [16:05] so for rpm and any other format, you'd have to create the packages yourself [16:06] @dpm: oh ok ! :-D, Is there a tool that packages in different formats as per my wish ? === jackyalcine is now known as Guest1073 [16:07] pratheek_, not that I know of, but I must admit I haven't done research on the subject [16:08] ok ! anyother chatrrom where i could get help on that ? [16:08] *dpm [16:08] Guest1073, here's your example of where to find documentation if you use quickly to create your app with Python, GTK and Mallard: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/816594/ [16:08] pratheek_, not that I know of, sorry [16:09] @dpm : ok ! Thanks for all the help ! :D [16:09] Bye ! === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia === mpt_ is now known as mpt === james_w` is now known as james_w === mpt_ is now known as mpt [23:58] I'm looking for an IO interface to use in a gtkmm app that I can tie to a pipe fd and have a callback whenever data arrives on the pipe, is there such a thing?
