hanniecqfd93, hi16:00
hannieI have just added wubi to the glossary, but I have removed the pageref from it (in Dutch version precise-e2)16:01
hannieI do not think that IN the glossary we should refer to a chapter/section16:01
hannieIt is the other way around. In the section we refer to the explanation of the term in the glossary16:02
cqfd93Hi Hannie!16:15
hanniehey cq16:15
hannieI just changed the sudo line (added \prompt \userinput as you suggested (in Dutch version)16:16
cqfd93Yes, removing the pageref is probably a good idea, as the wubi section points to the glossary :-)16:16
hannieI will add the sudo change to my notes for Raring (English). Thanks for reporting it.16:17
hannieI will upload my nl.po to LP in a minute16:18
cqfd93for the sudo line and at least another one, I added a line break (\n) between the command and the output16:18
hanniesudo updategrub is on a line of its own16:20
hannieah, yes, just found it. Good catch again ;)16:21

cqfd93https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/precise-e2/+pots/ubuntu-manual/fr/1655/+translate16:22
cqfd93hannie, can you look at the bottom of page 117 in the French precise-e2 pdf?  There's a problem with the size of the titles "Comptes utilisateurs"16:30
cqfd93and "Utilisateurs et groupes"16:30
cqfd93page #111 in the Dutch manual16:32
hannieI'll have a look right now16:33
hanniecqfd93, let me finish those \promt \userinput strings first and then I will download fr.po (precise-e2)16:35
cqfd93hannie, no need to compile it, here is the link to the pdf: http://ubuntuone.com/1fD6ZGk4WYFDcoCMGn6HN216:37
hanniecqfd93, ok, in a minute I'll have a look16:38
cqfd93ok!16:41
cqfd93Just found something in the Dutch manual: the first paragraph of each section is missing the indentation, the French manual doesn't show this problem16:44
hannieI think in the English version the 1st par has no indentation either16:44
hannieI talked to Kevin about this a long time ago16:45
cqfd93It looks like it has been fixed in the French version16:46
hannieah, I know what happened to Comptes utilisateurs16:49
hannieLet me find the link on the bug report I sent to LP a while ago16:50
cqfd93ok16:51
hanniecqfd93, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+bug/108285216:52
manualbotLaunchpad bug 1082852 in ubuntu-manual "chapter6 section user accounts" [Medium,Confirmed]16:52
cqfd93Even the English version has this title problem16:52
hanniehence my bug report :)16:52
cqfd93:-)16:53
hanniewe should switch subsection and section here16:53
hannieWe will change this in Raring16:53
cqfd93But the font sizes will still be wrong?16:55
hanniefont of section is bigger than subsection, yes16:56
hannieSo, if User account = section and Users and groups = subsection, it should be ok16:57
hannieOn second thought, it should be reshuffled16:59
cqfd93In your bug description, you said:17:00
cqfd93I think it should be17:00
cqfd93 \section{Users and groups}17:00
cqfd93\subsection{user accounts}.17:00
hannieWell. user accounts is just one line. It would look odd after paragraph "User and groups"17:01
hannieI would make User account a section and the others subsections17:01
cqfd93No, user accounts is the title of a subsection that hat 3 paragraphs17:02
hannieSo therefore it should be Section (User accounts :) )17:02
cqfd93I'm confused...17:03
cqfd93Let me try to understand:17:03
cqfd93section Users and groups has several subsections17:03
cqfd93user accounts17:03
hannieIf User accounts would have 3 paragraphs, then those paragraphs would not be subsections17:04
cqfd93users management17:04
hannieSo: the section User accounts has 4 subsections namely:17:05
hannieusers and groups/managing users/managing groups/applying groups to files and folders17:05
cqfd93To me, it should be:17:07
cqfd93section users and groups17:07
cqfd934 subsections User accounts/managing users/managing groups/applying groups to files and folders17:07
cqfd93and this is what you imply in your bug report17:08
hannieShouln't this be: section user accounts, subsection Users and groups17:08
cqfd93no, because users is just part of users and groups17:10
hannieIf you do this:17:10
hannieSection Users and groups (not followed by any text) and then17:11
cqfd93Hi CarstenG17:11
CarstenGHi Sylvie17:12
hanniesubsection User accounts (with text following), then it is not logical17:12
hanniehi CarstenG17:12
CarstenGHi Hannie17:12
hannieCarstenG, we were just discussing this bug:17:13
hanniehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+bug/108285217:13
manualbotLaunchpad bug 1082852 in ubuntu-manual "chapter6 section user accounts" [Medium,Confirmed]17:13
cqfd93funny that manualbot just repeats the bug number you posted :-)17:13
hannieah those bots17:13
* cqfd93 is thinking about this: Section Users and groups (not followed by any text) and then subsection User accounts (with text following), then it is not logical17:15
hanniecqfd93, let me read what it says in paragraph Users and groups to see if we can just exchange these two headings17:16
cqfd93hannie, I think I understand that you think there should be at least one paragraph between these two titles17:19
hannieok, in the first paragraph they talk about users and groups, so the title is right17:19
hanniecqfd93, I am thinking of a title for the subject/section, followed by the different (sub)sections like: Managing users, Managing groups etc.17:21
cqfd93to make sure we're talking about the same paragraphs, we should look at the same pdf: the English pdf?17:22
hannieWhat you suggest is: the title is "Users and groups" and the subsections are: Users and groups, Managing users etc.17:23
hanniesorry, Title = Users and groups, subsections are: user accounts, managing users etc.17:24
cqfd93Yes: Title = Users and groups, subsections are: user accounts, managing users etc.17:25
cqfd93that sounds more logical to me17:25
cqfd93But now, after reading what would be the user accounts section, I see they are talking about groups... grrrrrrrrrrr!!!17:26
hannieNow you see what I mean. Life is difficult :(17:27
cqfd93;-)17:27
hannieHence my proposal to make the title (=section) User accounts and one of its subsections = Users and groups17:28
hannieI need a break........I am going to finish nl.po and upload it. Otherwise kevin may start publishing without these changes17:30
hanniecqfd93, we still have lots of time before Raring is released. So, no worries about sections and subsections :)17:30
cqfd93OK!17:31
hanniesee you all17:31
cqfd93see you!17:31
CarstenGsee you17:31
godbykHey, CarstenG. it looks like lulu.com is still having trouble printing the 12.10 manual.17:44
CarstenGHi Kevin17:44
CarstenGgrml.17:44
CarstenGStill with you new PDF with Adobe?17:44
godbykCarstenG: And we have a new support guy to boot. So far he's just sent me the same link of recommended PDF creation software but with no other useful help.17:45
godbykAs far as I can tell, the current 12.10 manual should be using the PDF that Lulu generated for us.17:45
godbykSo one would assume that PDF would be okay.17:45
godbykSeems not.17:45
godbykI think we should start exploring other printers in case lulu.com can't sort this out.17:46
cqfd93hi godbyk!17:46
godbykHey, cqfd93!17:46
godbykcqfd93: I'm trying to get this lulu.com problem sorted out before I start trying to publish a bunch more manuals with them.17:47
godbykcqfd93: Seems some of their printers don't like our PDFs. But it's difficult to get any details from them.17:47
godbykThey just keep saying, 'You shouldn't use LaTeX.'17:47
CarstenGYes, we should find a new partner for printing, if lulu can not fix this issue.17:47
cqfd93do you know what the problem is?17:48
CarstenGGRML17:48
CarstenGLaTeX is the best. :-)17:48
CarstenGThey should use good printers ...17:48
godbykCarstenG: Agreed.17:49
godbykCarstenG: And it seems that *some* of their printers are fine.. because it printed my copy of the manual without any complaints. And that was back when we still had transparent images and the like.17:49
godbykcqfd93: I don't know what the problem is. I keep asking and they keep guessing. Then I fix the thing they think is the problem and there are still problems.17:49
CarstenGYes, so they _can_ print our LaTeX files, if they want. It is not a problem with our files...17:50
cqfd93do they print the 12.04 manual OK?17:50
godbykcqfd93: Sometimes.17:51
cqfd93:-(17:51
godbykcqfd93: They printed it okay for me. But then they had problems printing it for Carsten.17:51
godbykcqfd93: Then I think we got it printed okay for Carsten (right, CarstenG?) but now someone else is having problems getting it printed.17:51
cqfd93Frustrating and time consuming :-(17:52
godbykI'm starting a list of possible printers here: http://pad.ubuntu.com/PrintOnDemand17:54
godbykRight now I'm just pulling up lists of competitors to lulu.com and competitors of the competitors.17:54
godbykI haven't looked at any of their websites yet.17:54
godbykWe can start looking at their websites and making notes of which ones would work for us, pricing info, etc.17:54

CarstenGSylvie20:23
cqfd93Yes CarstenG20:23
CarstenGI have just thought about the "users and groups" topic20:24
CarstenGI stay at my opinion, as I wrote in the bug report20:24
cqfd93so, we both agree20:24
CarstenGWe should make20:25
CarstenG\section{Users and groups}20:25
CarstenG\subsection{user accounts}20:25
CarstenG\subsection{Managing users}20:25
CarstenG\subsection{Managing groups}20:25
CarstenG\subsection{Applying groups to files and folders}20:25
cqfd93that's exactly what I think20:25
cqfd93but the first paragraphs are a bit confusing20:26
cqfd93as they talk about groups20:26
CarstenGas well as users. :-)20:27
cqfd93yes!20:28
CarstenGSo maybe we could move the third paragraph "Every user in Ubuntu is ..." to the \subsection{managing groups}20:30
CarstenGOk, I would upload the changed section heading to raring and cose the bug.20:34
cqfd93Yes, that would be good.20:36
CarstenGok20:36
