[00:06] <Taggnostr> hello
[00:07] <Taggnostr> I just upgraded and restarted and my monitor configuration got messed up.  I fixed it and restarted it again and it was still messed up, and even now that I fixed it again, if I right click on the clock on the bottom-right of the screen, the menu appears at the top-left, and if I hover on it the popup appears on the bottom-left of the other monitor
[00:07] <Taggnostr> and with messed up I mean mirrored displayed with lower resolution instead of side-by-side with correct resolution
[00:08] <Taggnostr> how can I fix this and make sure it remembers it for the next reboot?
[00:09] <Taggnostr> I've also been having some redrawing issues, especially when I minimize or maximize windows, not sure if it's related
[00:55] <RichlandDavid> I've succeeded in upgrading the OS to the version 16.04 with kubuntu Plasma. Fonts are so small I can't use it. Got a fix?
[03:57] <Guest53104> hi
[03:57] <Guest53104> someone can help me? can't connect to the irc-hispano network using konversation
[03:58] <Guest53104> what could be causing the problem?
[05:23] <hateball> Is there like a planned features roadmap for 16.10 somewhere? I can only find the release roadmap
[05:24] <hateball> Tried the latest nightly and it still has quite old packages
[05:24] <hateball> Getting a bit tired of these issues with dual monitors
[05:52] <momoe> **A wild momoe appears!!**
[05:52] <momoe> Good evening/morning everyone
[05:53] <momoe> So KDE Connect has finally reached 1.0 version, this past week.
[05:53] <momoe> And I was wondering who to poke about getting the update going for Kubuntu's update manager.
[05:55] <momoe> https://albertvaka.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/kde-connect-1-0-is-here/
[05:57] <hateball> momoe: I would guess someone in #kubuntu-devel
[05:58] <momoe> kk, thx hateball
[06:26] <momoe> So another dunce question here, but does the search field in Kubuntu's Discover center ever work for anyone?
[06:27] <momoe> I never get any results when using it, since day 1.
[06:27] <momoe> Example searching for "blender" would return no results even though it's right there on the start page
[06:30] <hateball> momoe: are you fully updated?
[06:31] <hateball> Seems to work here at least (first time I tried it now)
[06:31] <momoe> I should be fully updated
[06:32] <momoe> Here's an example http://imgur.com/a/obIvA
[06:33] <hateball> weird
[06:33] <hateball> I've no idea how it is supposed to work, sadly
[06:34] <momoe> "No I," said the fly. ^_^;
[06:34] <momoe> one ould assume it's supposed to list all relvent results when entering full or partial names. but nothing.
[06:37] <momoe> hateball: how is your experience with that search field? Do you get any results?
[06:37] <hateball> momoe: as I said, it works for me
[06:37] <hateball> I have only tried it this once
[06:37] <hateball> I am using kubuntu backports ppa
[06:38] <hateball> no idea if discover is backported also
[06:39] <momoe> kk, thx just needed a reference. I'll eventually be going for a clean install in the near future. maybe on 16.04.1
[09:01] <acheronuk> hateball: there should be some fresh isos now :)
[09:02] <hateball> acheronuk: \o/
[09:37] <zamazan4ik> hello. Is there any way use to multi display configuration (laptop screen + external screen) with proprietary Nvidia driver on Kubuntu 16.04?
[09:38] <zamazan4ik> my conf is intel graphics 4000 + Nvidia 635GT
[09:39] <hateball> zamazan4ik: Yes, but stock kubuntu and multimonitor is rather broken
[09:39] <hateball> zamazan4ik: So using the kubuntu backports ppa is probably what you want to do first
[09:39] <hateball> it's not flawless after that either, sadly
 works fine here
[09:41] <acheronuk> kde/plasma multimonitor support is very much a work in progress for many cards
[09:42] <acheronuk> plasma 5.8 now seems to be the main target for ironing out most kinks
[09:44] <acheronuk> \o/ live cd http://i.imgur.com/WeG5llR.png
 is that a daily?
[09:46] <acheronuk> ahoneybun: yes
[09:47] <ahoneybun> nice
[09:47] <acheronuk> got the building of them fixed and and restarted earlier
[09:48] <acheronuk> I haven't tried the installer yet
[09:49] <ahoneybun> you know how the slideshow will be like
[09:50] <acheronuk> absent!
[09:50] <yossarianuk> cool - its behind neon though (its using 5.7.4) ... Is 15.10 aiming for plasma 5.8 ?
[09:50] <ahoneybun> well of course it's behind Neon
[09:50] <ahoneybun> they follow no schecule like us
[09:51] <ahoneybun> *unlike
[09:51] <acheronuk> yossarianuk: besides we had Qt 5.6 and plasma 5.7.2 stuck in proposed for best part of a month, then immediately got the feature freeze when they finally go unstuck
[09:52] <yossarianuk> sure. Which is why i'm sticking to kubuntu for work machines
[09:55] <acheronuk> yossarianuk: I'm trying to keep the kubuntu CI chugging along at about parity with neon, but plasma 5.8 will be too late for yakkety
[09:57] <yossarianuk> that is a shame.... really it would be good if 16.04 LTS upgrading to plasma 5.8 LTS (but I know that will not happen..)
[09:57] <yossarianuk> *upgraded*
[09:57] <acheronuk> yossarianuk: hoping for that via backports
[09:58] <ahoneybun> it goes against the release cycle
[09:58] <acheronuk> as LTS plasma would be a great ppa backport for LTS xenial
[09:58] <ahoneybun> acheronuk: how much changes are allowed for a point release?
[09:59] <acheronuk> just not anywhere near the main repos
[09:59] <yossarianuk> I know, in some ways its a shame you have to stick to ubuntu's cycle in many ways - at least 16.04+backports is serving me well at present...
[09:59] <acheronuk> ahoneybun: not sure, but not anywhere near that much I think
[09:59] <ahoneybun> mm
[10:00] <ahoneybun> acheronuk: hopefully soon snaps can clean some of this up
[10:02] <acheronuk> they will help, certainly if the can get the whole shared resourse thing sorted
[10:07] <ahoneybun> the latest applications on 16.04 base
[10:08] <ahoneybun> I just care about kdenlive lol
[11:20] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:43] <barq> I get a bug on 16.04.1 where the mouse points to a pixel next to the pointer, not where it is actually pointing at.
[12:58] <konrados> Morning :)
[12:59] <BluesKaj> 'Morning konrados
[12:59] <konrados> I want to compress a folder with a password, on SO I found this: zip -erf archive.zip /somedir I have rights to. And I get: zip warning: zomer.zip not found or empty
[13:04] <BluesKaj> konrados, http://www.binarytides.com/create-password-protected-zip-archive-ubuntu/
[13:06] <konrados> sec...
[13:11] <konrados> Can I have your email?
[13:11] <konrados> sorry
[13:11] <konrados> wrong channel!
[13:12] <konrados> On this channel I wanted to only say thank you, BluesKaj it worked :) I added the 'r' option to make it recursive, and it worked fine, thank you again very much!
[13:15] <BluesKaj> konrados, glad to help :-)

[14:33] <soee__> hiho
[18:47] <daniel_> test
[18:48] <daniel_> hi
[20:06] <FlyingFoX> is it normal, that updating to 16.04 from 14.2 takes 10 hours?
[20:07] <FlyingFoX> installing is now at 50% after about 4 hours :/
[20:07] <soee__> i doubt
[20:07] <soee__> maybe if it has to download updates and you have ultra slow connection
[20:11] <FlyingFoX> downloading has already finished a long time ago
[20:11] <acheronuk> my slowest of slow laptops would probably do it in an hr or 2. depending on how many packages you have installed
[20:11] <FlyingFoX> its just the installing that takes so long
[20:12] <FlyingFoX> hm maybe my disk is getting old
[20:12] <soee__> buy ssd :D
[20:13] <FlyingFoX> thats planned for the future :D
[21:19] <VerDay> hello
[21:44] <VerDay> hello
[22:57] <Driminicus> hey
[22:57] <Driminicus> is there a way to update kdeconnect
[22:58] <Driminicus> without using kubuntu-staging?
[22:58] <Driminicus> the version in kubuntu 16.04 with kubuntu-backports is relatively old
 It just got updated
[23:17] <Driminicus> oh, I just realized it's not even in kubuntu-backports/staging
[23:17] <Driminicus> should I build the newer version from source? will that work?
 Not sure, 95% sure it will not since it might need new Qt version
[23:25] <Driminicus> I see
 My bad its in backport landing
[23:28] <Driminicus> ah
 https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports-landing/+packages?batch=75&memo=75&start=75
 We welcome testers of course
[23:29] <Driminicus> I see
[23:29] <Driminicus> thanks for the pointer

[05:47] <fabbione> morning
[02:19] <jbailey> fabbione: ping?
[02:22] <fabbione> jbailey: pong?
[02:24] <jbailey> fabbione: Is that what you needed for binutils?
[02:24] <fabbione> i didn't get there yet :( i am almost very close to it
[02:24] <fabbione> but yes it's a static one.. so it's fine
[02:25] <jbailey> 'k
[02:25] <fabbione> we might have to check another thing, but it's not sure yet 100%
[02:25] <fabbione> i will let you know asap
[02:26] <jbailey> Cool.  I also wasn't sure which bfd targets you'd need, so I left it at the default.  I can reduce it to just the local architecture, but I figured I should do that once you had stuff to test with to make sure I'm  not brekaing it.
[02:26] <fabbione> thanks..
[02:26] <fabbione> i will let you know :)
[02:26] <fabbione> i had to spend the morning figuring a lot of other bits still related to that
[02:26] <fabbione> and i just landed at the step of using ld :)
[02:26] <fabbione> but i need to go out for an hour or so
[02:27] <fabbione> to buy a couple of video cards
[02:27] <fabbione> and i will be back
[02:27] <jbailey> Cool.
[04:24] <doko> jbailey: the glibc biarch build for amd64 should be doable without ftp-master interaction?
[04:24] <jbailey> doko: without elmo, yes.  Without lamont/infinity, I don't think so.
[04:24] <jbailey> I'm buying an amd64 later today so that I can do this.
[04:24] <doko> why? it currently builds, because there are still working ia32-libs-dev
[04:25] <jbailey> Err.
[04:25] <jbailey> Sorry, I was thinking on i386 for i386/amd64
[04:25] <jbailey> Do you mean on amd64 for amd64/i386 ?
[04:25] <doko> yep, that one doesn't work
[04:25] <doko> I mean both :)
[04:25] <jbailey> arch: amd64 should be Just doable, I think.
[04:26] <jbailey> arch: i386 I think might need extra love.
[04:26] <doko> it should be possible to make amd64-libs obsolete on i386 for breezy
[04:26] <jbailey> right.
[04:26] <jbailey> And all those changes will be easy to push into Debian.


[15:27] <toabctl> stgraber, my did you use dbus-glib instead of gdbus for the upstart-dbus-bridge code? is there any reason for that?
[16:28] <xnox> toabctl: what is the package name?
[16:28]  * xnox can't find gdbus in the archive
[16:29] <toabctl> xnox, gdbus is from glib/gio
[16:29] <toabctl> xnox, see http://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.32/gdbus-convenience.html
[16:30] <toabctl> xnox, it's the prefered way in the glib/gtk/gnome world to write dbus clients
[16:31] <toabctl> xnox, and see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DBusBindings
[16:31] <toabctl> dbus-glib is obsolete
[16:33] <xnox> stgraber: and the ^^^ is available in python2&3 via from gi.repository import Gio
[16:33] <xnox> toabctl: to be honest, I had no clue & I have a package written in dbus-glib.
[16:34] <xnox> no clue about gdbus, that is.
[16:34] <stgraber> toabctl: I didn't know it existed ;)
[16:35] <toabctl> :-)
[16:35] <toabctl> xnox, for python, the dbus server support does not work with introspection. ask pitti about that.
[16:35] <xnox> *sigh*
[16:36] <toabctl> xnox, but I think the python-dbus package works now with python 2&3
[16:36] <toabctl> stgraber, you should definitly switch to gdbus
[16:37] <stgraber> toabctl: yep, will do, should be easy enough
[16:37] <toabctl> stgraber, here's a migration guide: http://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.32/ch30.html
[16:38] <toabctl> I ported d-feet from python-dbus to gdbus (with introspection) and it works very well.
[16:39]  * xnox is not that good with dbus
[16:39] <xnox> toabctl: what do you mean by "dbus server support"
[16:40] <xnox> or in other words is gdbus good enough for both publishing & using objects over dbus?
[16:41] <toabctl> xnox, you can not create a service (eg "com.foo.bar") on the bus with gdbus and python
[16:41] <xnox> toabctl: that sucks.
[16:41] <toabctl> xnox, yes, it is. but not the python introspection stuff
[16:41] <xnox> not good for me then =(
[16:42] <toabctl> xnox, see http://www.piware.de/2011/01/na-zdravi-pygi/#comment-2010
[16:42] <toabctl> xnox, but just in python it does not work. In C, all works fine
[16:43] <toabctl> xnox, here's the bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656330
[16:43] <xnox> thanks.
[16:45] <toabctl> np


[00:06] <sebsebseb> Kr0ntab: It's Saturday in half of the world now. Also this channel is now publically logged, so it's best to have it mainly on topic really.
[00:07] <Kr0ntab> hmm... oookay.  I don't think it was that big a deal, but no sweat.
[00:08] <sebsebseb> Kr0ntab: Yeah not a big deal I guess really,  but still.  Also this will be in the second log,  since the logs seem to start and finnish using UK time.
[00:09] <sebsebseb> Kr0ntab: Been doing anything for the project recently?
[00:10] <Kr0ntab> Just joined up yesterday... and working on some now.
[00:10] <Kr0ntab> ch 10... troubleshooting...
[00:10] <sebsebseb> oh right yeah I was wondering what you were doing
[00:11] <Kr0ntab> gonna do some research on the forums and lp answers sites for recent/relevent questions... and add to the list I've been working on.
[00:12] <sebsebseb> recent/relivent questions aye?
[00:12] <sebsebseb> well  that's daily in #ubuntu
[00:13] <Kr0ntab> hehe.. yeah... but there's many questions about particular apps... and that's not necisarily something I'd call Ubuntu specific issues.  Gonna work towards pointing readers to process of elimination... and how to fix problems while avoiding common misteps.
[00:15] <sebsebseb> Kr0ntab: ok well
[00:15] <sebsebseb> Ubuntu Open Week stuff
[00:15] <sebsebseb> now that should help you I think
[00:16] <sebsebseb> some of that
[00:17] <sebsebseb> Kr0ntab: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek
[02:16]  * humphreybc would like to tell everyone that there is now a logbot in here so our channel logs are available here: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[03:02] <humphreybc> have a look at this bug here please everyone: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+bug/504668
[03:03] <humphreybc> and read what Ilya Haykinson has written about the chapter structure
[03:04] <humphreybc> Please consider it and jot some feedback down on the bug report, we will probably discuss this in the brief tonight. What Ilya is proposing is a complete chapter overhaul which will affect everyone and will change the manual dramatically. I want everyone to have a say in this matter.
[03:08] <humphreybc> Oh and if you're not aware of the brief, it'll start around 1100 UTC in this channel. It will be logged and I'll use MootBot to handle the meeting, just in case we need to vote on something.
[03:22] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: some/all of us that were around, know about the logs already
[03:22] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: check out the logs by the way, wolter wanted you etc
[03:22] <humphreybc> yeah i read them already
[03:23] <humphreybc> i might catch him tonight
[03:24] <humphreybc> thanks
[03:26] <sebsebseb> np
[03:26] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: is that meeting 11am or 11pm  GMT/UTC ?
[03:32] <sebsebseb> might want to add to the topic something for the logs
[03:41] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: Interesting bug yeah,  one that should be sorted out properly, so indeed good idea to have a meeting about it.  Altough it seems I won't be taking part in the meeting, but that doesn't matter anyway, since I am not making the actsual manual, just providing a bit of feedback and that.
[03:42] <sebsebseb> (well not really an interesting bug, but one that should be sorted out yes)
[04:01] <pererik87atyoutu> might even bee gtm+X
[04:04] <sebsebseb> pererik87atyoutu: what's that?
[04:05] <humphreybc> it's 1100 UTC, 1100 is in 24 hour time
[04:05] <humphreybc> if it was 11pm it would be 2300 UTC, but it's not.
[04:05] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: ah ha yes that's what I thought 11am GMT
[04:06] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: by the way wolter is probably sleeping then since his time zone, but he is doing title/cover art anyway
[04:06] <humphreybc> do you know what he wanted to talk to me about?
[04:06] <sebsebseb> no
[04:06] <humphreybc> if he comes in ask him to email me
[04:06] <humphreybc> i'll be at work today but back in time for the meeting
[04:07] <humphreybc> i'll leave my computer on and online so he can leave me a PM on IRC if he wants
[04:07] <humphreybc> anyway, time to cook dinner before I head off to work. talk to you later sebsebseb
[04:07] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: you work on Saturday? and Sunday?
[04:08] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: I  might not be here when he next comes in
[04:10] <sebsebseb> (I am thinking about time zones a little bit, and no you probably don't work on a Sunday)
[04:18] <pererik87atyoutu> gtm + x      11 gtm+1 = 12
[04:19] <pererik87atyoutu> gtm
[04:20] <pererik87atyoutu> no :P 11 gtm+1 = 10 gtm
[04:24] <sebsebseb> what's gtm?
[04:47]  * humphreybc works on a saturday
[05:06] <pererik87atyoutu> gmt :P
[05:07] <sebsebseb> pererik87atyoutu: call it gmt instead of gtm then :D   GMT/UTC
[05:07] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: ok
[05:16] <IlyaHaykinson> argh, the meeting is at 3am my local time :)
[06:36] <nisshh> hey guys
[06:36] <nisshh> just checking in before i go on holiday
[07:45] <jmburgess> hey everyone
[08:17] <wolter> hi humphreybc
[08:38] <wolter> oh ok humphreybc I read the logs. sebsebseb told me to
[08:39] <wolter> Well, I wanted to check if you received the mail I sent to the list, about chapter 9 needing a transformation because we are writting too personal
[08:39] <wolter> humphreybc, we should be objective, and not subjective by saying "Oh, this application is awesome because it lets you do this fantastic stuff and such and such"
[08:39] <wolter> We should instead say like "With this application you can do this and that"
[08:41] <wolter> Also, hm.. I have nothing to say about the titlepage else than that I already pushed it in the branch (both mine and vish's) and so we just need somebody to write in the script to make the titlepage the titlepage. Plus, we need to setup some kind of votation some time to see which will be the titlepage, at least for now
[08:42] <wolter> Hmm, and yes.. I had to download texlive-extra or something like that.. still not the 567Mb package i thought I had to download in the beginning, but about 157 Mb
[08:42] <wolter> I could deal with that fine :
[08:42] <wolter> )
[08:44] <wolter> And um... if you get that email that I sent to the list, please read and we'll have a talk about it maybe on monday at 100 utc? (i think thats 2000 for me)
[08:44] <wolter> Its that today (as of jan 9) is my birthday, so I will be having some friends coming over and taking my days away from me and from the manual, and possible on sunday too
[08:45] <wolter> I don't know well, but anyway, I might be on either on sunday or morning
[08:45] <wolter> monday sorry
[08:49] <wolter> The only thing you need to know is that I mostly hang out on IRC from 1300 to 200 in my time zone, which is in costa rica/central america, but no, it is utc-6
[08:49] <wolter> or gmt-6, same thing i think
[08:51] <pererik87atyoutu> actually think i might have to reboot
[08:51] <wolter> So... probably you can do the math and calculate when I am going to be online. I can talk about it anytime. Also, the meeting, if it is at 1100 utc, then it will be at 500 here, not pleasant at all as that is probably the time when my sleep is the heaviest, so.. I will not be attending. Could we change the meeting time for the next event? I would like to :) Anyway, bye and.. I hope you had fun reading all my jabber
[08:51] <wolter> Good pererik87atyoutu
[08:51] <wolter> And bye
[08:57] <\vish> humphreybc: if you hadnt noticed it... I updated the mockup on the wiki , keeping in mind Andrew's suggestions
[10:23] <humphreybc> yo
[10:23] <humphreybc> back from work, how's everyone doin?
[10:28]  * humphreybc is reading over the comments on bug #504668
[10:58] <humphreybc> alright it's that time again
[10:58] <humphreybc> who's here?
[11:00] <tacantara> {raises hand}...me :)
[11:00] <humphreybc> haha, one, not a bad start :P
[11:00] <humphreybc> not like we have a lot to talk about anyway
[11:01] <tacantara> Actually, this has been a busy week.  I was going through my GMail folders and recapping all the work on the manual this past week
[11:02] <humphreybc> haha well yeah, the manual has had a tonne of progress
[11:02] <humphreybc> but everything is running fairly smoothly - apart from the TOC reorganization
[11:02] <humphreybc> we're well ahead of schedule
[11:02] <humphreybc> well i suppose we'll give another couple of minutes for anyone else
[11:03] <tacantara> We've brought on more people to assist.  I have one pending, if I can just get him to decide.  He's still on the fence about joining the team.
[11:03] <humphreybc> Kr0ntab, vish, dutchie, jmburgess, IlyaHaykinson are you guys there?
[11:03] <humphreybc> yep we have had an extraordinary amount of new members thanks to the media attention
[11:05] <tacantara> I'm working off of the Lucid distro on my machine this morning.  Can you send the link with the bzr instructions so I can set up my sync folders?
[11:05] <humphreybc> sure
[11:05] <humphreybc> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Help
[11:06] <humphreybc> alright i don't think many other people are here :O
[11:07] <humphreybc> oh well i suppose we can go ahead and start the meeting, even though there's hardly anyone in it :P
[11:07] <humphreybc> #startmeeting
[11:07] <MootBot> Meeting started at 05:07. The chair is humphreybc.
[11:07] <MootBot> Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]
[11:07] <humphreybc> okay, tacantara (or anyone) - have you got anything you'd like to raise?
[11:08]  * jmburgess is here
[11:08] <tacantara> Nothing new to add.  I was concerned about the issue of CLI, as voiced during the week, but I think that topic is sufficiently addressed now.
[11:09] <humphreybc> hey jmburgess
[11:09] <humphreybc> okay. well how do we think the manual is going?
[11:09] <humphreybc> on track for our first release?
[11:09] <jmburgess> Excellent!
[11:09] <jmburgess> As far as I can tell we are definitely I track
[11:09] <humphreybc> haha awesome, yep I totally agree. We're miles ahead of where I originally planned. Formatting and translations already in place this early is unbelievable
[11:10] <humphreybc> oh jmburgess how is image support going?
[11:10] <jmburgess> I have a few more formatting things I need to do, but people seem to really be writing, the issue is this new ToC rewrite
[11:10] <humphreybc> yeah I think that's all we have to discuss really
[11:10] <humphreybc> well
[11:11] <humphreybc> did you read the new bug comment I just added about 10 minutes ago?
[11:11] <jmburgess> humphreybc: I have been working on getting like warning,notes,code boxes working, so I haven't touched images yet, but they will work its not too bad
[11:11] <humphreybc> jmburgess: oh neat!
[11:11] <jmburgess> humphreybc: nope, I will go do that I just woke up (its 6:00am here)
[11:11] <humphreybc> haha damn sorry to wake you up so early
[11:11] <jmburgess> haha its fine
[11:11] <humphreybc> (Saturday is a pretty average day, btw)
[11:11] <humphreybc> :P
[11:12] <humphreybc> it's midnight here, just rolled over to sunday
[11:12] <humphreybc> anyway, yeah have a read of that comment
[11:12]  * jmburgess reads
[11:12] <humphreybc> tacantara: what chapter are you working on?
[11:12] <tacantara> I'm not assigned any chapters.  I'm on the edit team, proofreading and such.
[11:13] <humphreybc> ah okay gotcha
[11:13] <humphreybc> while we're waiting, maybe tacantara you can have a look at the title page proposals
[11:13] <humphreybc> and give us your feedback, preferably as a wiki comment on that page
[11:14] <jmburgess> alright, so I saw Wolter's comment and I don't like his naming because while it is cute and fun, it is not very useful sa to what the chapters do
[11:14] <tacantara> That should be easy enough.  I just got the folders downloaded via bzr
[11:14] <humphreybc> jmburgess: did you read the end of his comment?
[11:15] <jmburgess> As for your comment, I think 1-6 definitely should be beginner (from your list)
[11:15] <jmburgess> humphreybc: woops, didn't read the last sentence
[11:15] <humphreybc> hehe
[11:15] <jmburgess> and then 7-10 are in advanced, now do we want to add an advanced chapter on something new?
[11:16] <humphreybc> such as?
[11:16] <jmburgess> not sure still thinking
[11:16] <jmburgess> i mean if you want to sort of balance things out
[11:16] <humphreybc> well
[11:16] <humphreybc> i wasn't thinking of extra content
[11:16] <humphreybc> just changing the positions of the content
[11:16] <humphreybc> although Ilya had a good point about the "Getting online" chapter
[11:16] <humphreybc> we were sort of missing detail on that
[11:16] <jmburgess> you are probably right, this re-org is going to be pretty huge
[11:17] <humphreybc> yeah i know
[11:17] <humphreybc> but if we change it now we have to make sure it's right
[11:17] <jmburgess> correct, now we just need to change all the blueprints around
[11:17] <humphreybc> because we don't want to be farting around changing stuff all the time, especially now that more and more content is coming in
[11:17] <humphreybc> and what the hell happens with the translation rearrangement?
[11:17] <jmburgess> Also, we will need to contact a few of the authors cause some of these things are getting combined
[11:18] <humphreybc> yeah well when we decide on something i'll email the mailing list
[11:18] <jmburgess> yea
[11:18] <humphreybc> but translations are going to be screwed
[11:18] <jmburgess> hmmmmm I don't know enough about how the translations work, but yeah the template stuff is going to be all kinds of messed up
[11:18] <jmburgess> I mean the strings are the same, just in different places
[11:18] <humphreybc> ya
[11:19] <humphreybc> well we haven't decided on the new arrangement yet
[11:19] <jmburgess> correct, but
[11:19] <humphreybc> we do need a change
[11:19] <jmburgess> I think if we do we need to lock it in
[11:19] <humphreybc> precisely
[11:19] <humphreybc> so we need to make a wise decision here
[11:19] <humphreybc> no point rushing in and then realising we need to change it in two weeks again
[11:20] <jmburgess> with only 2 people
[11:20] <humphreybc> lol yea
[11:20] <humphreybc> do we need to call a meeting for this?
[11:20] <humphreybc> or do you think we can handle it on the bug report and mailing list
[11:20] <jmburgess> right so do you want to just go chapter by chapter and list what should be in it now, or have a new meeting
[11:20] <jmburgess> you beat me to it
[11:20] <jmburgess> ummmm
[11:20] <humphreybc> haha
[11:20] <humphreybc> meetings are proving difficult
[11:21] <jmburgess> I feel like we won't be able to get enough people
[11:21] <humphreybc> we have this huge discrepancy in time
[11:21] <jmburgess> and I don't want any more content to be written in the wrong place
[11:21] <humphreybc> yeah, so maybe bug report for now. we should be able to come to a conclusion on that
[11:21] <humphreybc> well it's going to be a pain to change it, regardless of how much content we have. It'll just be a bit more to copy and paste, no?
[11:22] <jmburgess> right, do we want to go chapter by chapter now and just figure out what will need to get combined/moved if we go with the list you give on the latest comment
[11:22] <jmburgess> right, but its still more stuff
[11:22] <humphreybc> you mean here in the meeting?
[11:22] <humphreybc> or on the chapter blueprints
[11:22] <humphreybc> what do you think of my proposal on the latest comment?
[11:22] <jmburgess> yeah and then just post it to the bug, and make sure everyone is ok with it
[11:23] <humphreybc> sure. we should make everyone read this log.
[11:23] <humphreybc> :)
[11:23] <jmburgess> haha
[11:23] <jmburgess> but yeah I think your latest comment make sense
[11:23] <jmburgess> alright
[11:24] <humphreybc> well we have to make sure we check all the boxes. We can't release the manual with a whole section on something missing that we've all forgotten. and i'm not a superhuman so i'm not sure if i've got everything in my proposal
[11:24] <humphreybc> okay so we'll go over the chapters now i think. and I'll summarize in a new bug comment
[11:24] <humphreybc> (and advise they read the logs)
[11:24] <humphreybc> tacantara: feel free to join in and have your say
[11:25] <jmburgess> wait hold on do you have a chapter on important ubuntu apps such as ryhtmbox, etc..
[11:25] <humphreybc> no I took out the chapter Ilya proposed about going through every default app
[11:25] <tacantara> Just looked at title page, found it to be very professional.  We're definitely putting a good first image out there.
[11:25] <humphreybc> I figured we can include the IMPORTANT ones under chapter 2
[11:25] <jmburgess> Ok well we need to say that, cause we can't forget things like rhythm box
[11:26] <humphreybc> so a section/subsection to chapter 2 can very briefly touch on stuff like ryhthmbox, firefox, openoffice, F-Spot etc
[11:26] <jmburgess> well note firefox, that is ch. 3
[11:26] <jmburgess> but yes
[11:26] <humphreybc> yeah but do we need to teach people how to use these apps? i mean we have to stick to our niche here, and we don't want to make it an all encompassing manual
[11:26] <jmburgess> I think we need a paragraph on it
[11:26] <humphreybc> a paragraph on each?
[11:26] <jmburgess> not on every app just like
[11:27] <jmburgess> openoffice
[11:27] <jmburgess> fspot
[11:27] <humphreybc> but how much detail?  Press Pause to pause your music"
[11:27] <tacantara> Good point.  Talking about Rhythmbox can become a very detailed area, if you go into iPod syncing (another noob concern)
[11:27] <jmburgess> rhythmbox
[11:27] <humphreybc> okay
[11:27] <dutchie> why don't we say "Open Rhythmbox to manage your music, or buy more music from the Ubuntu One Music Store"?
[11:27] <jmburgess> No I mean like Rhytmbox is an excellent media player here is how to import your music and here is a screenshot, and here is the wiki link to mor info
[11:27] <humphreybc> so more like a paragraph: "Use Rhythmbox to listen to your music, sync with your portable media player. Use F-Spot to manage and edit photos" etc
[11:27] <dutchie> yeah, something like that
[11:28] <humphreybc> hello dutchie
[11:28] <dutchie> so they know which app to use for what
[11:28] <humphreybc> nice of you to join us :)
[11:28] <dutchie> morning
[11:28] <jmburgess> just enough to like get them started so they can play with it
[11:28] <dutchie> only just got up
[11:28] <humphreybc> although the install slideshow gives some detail on which app to use for what
[11:28] <humphreybc> and the menu is split into categories. how hard can it be? :P
[11:28] <humphreybc> okay fair enough
[11:28] <jmburgess> hey dutchie, since you know about translations do you know if everything will be messed up if we do all this chapter rearranging?
[11:29] <dutchie> don't think so
[11:29] <jmburgess> yeah I think a simple paragraph to help them import stuff, and then a link to the wiki page is good enough
[11:29] <humphreybc> alright so let's go back to the beginning. Prologue and About Ubuntu: basically includes chapter 1 and chapter 2 as they are now. nothing extra. right?
[11:29] <dutchie> it should keep all the translations that have already been done if I understand it correctly
[11:29] <humphreybc> dutchie: let's hope so
[11:29] <jmburgess> humphreybc: correct
[11:29] <humphreybc> oh does someone want to jot down notes on each chapter?
[11:30] <humphreybc> (for the bug comment)
[11:30] <jmburgess> So Ch 1 & 2 => prolgouge
[11:30] <jmburgess> im doin it
[11:30] <humphreybc> awesome xD
[11:30] <jmburgess> alright chapter 1 of the new ToC is chapter 3 of the old ToC
[11:30] <humphreybc> okay installation, basically chapter 3. sections underneath it include what's already in chapter 3, live CD, partitioning etc. Although - "What version to choose" should go to chapter 10. We need to assume they've already got Ubuntu if they're reading this.
[11:31] <humphreybc> well almost, with some exceptions like i said above
[11:31] <jmburgess> right
[11:31] <humphreybc> happy with that everyone?
[11:31] <dutchie> very good
[11:31] <tacantara> That works
[11:31] <humphreybc> info on the LiveCD and a detailed step by step install guide. Easy.
[11:32] <humphreybc> So that's chapter 1 of the new ToC. Chapter 2 is going to have a lot of sections.
[11:32] <jmburgess> Chapter 2 is the gnome environment part of ch. 4, plus information on some basic applications
[11:32] <humphreybc> and I propose we rename it to something with GNOME in it
[11:33] <humphreybc> because, well, it is GNOME.
[11:33] <jmburgess> and those applications are rhytnbox, opeoffice, fspot, tomboy?, anything else?
[11:33] <dutchie> firefox
[11:33] <jmburgess> I think it should be introduction to Ubuntu because we are going to cover a few apps
[11:33] <humphreybc> uhm... what else comes default... nautilus?
[11:33] <humphreybc> oh true
[11:33] <jmburgess> dutchie: firefox will be in ch. 3 (internet)
[11:33] <dutchie> might be worth mentioning chromium if that's going to be the default browser in UNR
[11:33] <humphreybc> yeah forgot about that
[11:33] <jmburgess> dutchie: Is it really?
[11:34] <jmburgess> ugh
[11:34] <dutchie> Ubuntu One will merit at least a paragraph
[11:34] <jmburgess> correct
[11:34] <tacantara> Empathy is a default app
[11:34] <humphreybc> dutchie: hmm.... we don't want to go talking about different distros here. as far as I'm concerned UNR is a different distro to Ubuntu
[11:34] <humphreybc> oh yeah empathy
[11:34] <jmburgess> goes in the internet section
[11:34] <dutchie> I was about to say that
[11:34] <humphreybc> so Rythmbox, OpenOffice, Tomboy, F-Spot, Empathy and Ubuntu One. Firefox is going to the internet chapter.
[11:34] <humphreybc> oh
[11:34] <humphreybc> yeah
[11:34] <humphreybc> okay so empathy in the internet chapter too
[11:35] <jmburgess> sounds good
[11:35] <dutchie> PiTiVi?
[11:35] <humphreybc> oh shite
[11:35] <humphreybc> yeah Pitivi
[11:35] <humphreybc> and nautilus
[11:35] <humphreybc> darn
[11:35] <tacantara> How about Brasero and Movie Player?
[11:35] <humphreybc> crap
[11:35] <humphreybc> too many default apps!
[11:35] <dutchie> there's quite a lot :)
[11:35] <humphreybc> darn you ubuntu for being so good!
[11:36] <jmburgess> Pitivi I feel like is out of the scope of this manual
[11:36] <dutchie> I don't think we need to cover them all
[11:36] <humphreybc> hmm
[11:36] <humphreybc> core 5?
[11:36] <jmburgess> like we can say, browse around the menus to see other apps
[11:36] <dutchie> just things used in sort of day-to-day running
[11:36] <dutchie> maybe not even F-Spot
[11:36] <humphreybc> photos, videos, music, navigation
[11:36] <humphreybc> and then internet in the other chapter
[11:36] <dutchie> we could have a "Multimedia" chapter
[11:37] <humphreybc> well, section under chapter 2 of the new ToC
[11:37] <humphreybc> although
[11:37] <humphreybc> it does kinda warrant it's own chapter
[11:37] <humphreybc> maybe we need 11 chapters
[11:37] <humphreybc> or even turn 10 into an "afterthought" or something
[11:37] <dutchie> especially if we start mentioning codecs and whatnot
[11:37] <humphreybc> a "postlogue" :P
[11:37] <dutchie> epilogue
[11:37] <humphreybc> okay there you go
[11:38] <dutchie> probably appendix
[11:38] <jmburgess> Do we want a media chapter that contains rhytmbox, f-spot, pitivi
[11:38] <humphreybc> don't forget we've still got the credits and glossary to pile on here
[11:38] <jmburgess> a internet chapter that has evolution, firefox, empathy
[11:38] <tacantara> If we subsection Chapter 2 to cover default apps, it'd be logical to follow the format of the Applications menu, perhaps pointing out key apps only
[11:38] <humphreybc> well we're talking so many default apps here they might warrant their own chapter
[11:38] <humphreybc> at least for the multimedia ones
[11:38] <dutchie> I'm not sure if "OMG, it's got 15 chapters" is a valid concern
[11:39] <dutchie> people are more likely to look at the page count IMO
[11:39] <jmburgess> Why don't we have an Apps chapter insted of just inernet apps, and talk about all the keys apps
[11:39] <jmburgess> like we don't need a tutorial on firefox or on evolution
[11:39] <humphreybc> so Applications after chapter 2
[11:39] <humphreybc> make it chapter 3
[11:39] <jmburgess> we just need a paragraph, screenshot and a link to the wiki page
[11:39] <humphreybc> push everything down a number, make chapter 10 an epilogue. or even just chapter 11.
[11:39] <jmburgess> so wait
[11:39] <jmburgess> Ch 2 is titled.....
[11:39] <humphreybc> but then we're talking about applications twice in the manual... but i suppose they're important..... ;)
[11:40] <jmburgess> im sorry im confused
[11:40] <dutchie> that's something to avoid I think humphreybc
[11:40]  * humphreybc wonders if other project meetings go for so long
[11:40] <humphreybc> um
[11:40]  * jmburgess hopes they wont
[11:40] <humphreybc> hmm
[11:40] <humphreybc> well
[11:40] <humphreybc> we have a problem
[11:41] <humphreybc> Do we talk about the core apps AND extra apps later on
[11:41] <humphreybc> do we only talk about core apps
[11:41] <humphreybc> and not mention extra apps at all?
[11:41] <jmburgess> I think core apps only
[11:41] <dutchie> core apps only
[11:41] <humphreybc> or do we not talk about core apps and just let them freestyle
[11:41] <dutchie> we should *mention* core apps
[11:41] <humphreybc> how about we don't talk about core apps, but include that list of extra apps as a list.
[11:41] <jmburgess> Why don't we have a getting around Ubuntu chapter which covers nautilus stuff, and gnome stuff
[11:41] <tacantara> I think it'd be worthwhile to discuss the core apps, to the extent that we say "here they are."
[11:41] <humphreybc> wait
[11:41] <humphreybc> we don't talk about extra apps ***
[11:42] <humphreybc> well core apps are more important to a newbie than extra ones, right?
[11:42] <jmburgess> and then have a Applications chapter and say a little paragraph or two about them
[11:42] <humphreybc> so they should have a higher priority
[11:42] <jmburgess> i think Ch. 3 should just be titled Applications
[11:42] <dutchie> we could direct them to the B-Sides project for extra apps
[11:42] <humphreybc> dutchie true
[11:42] <tacantara> From a noob perspective, the extra apps come in as a need is discovered (i.e. how can I scan this document)
[11:42] <humphreybc> although, why don't we just include that list simply as a list
[11:42] <humphreybc> in chapter 10
[11:43] <dutchie> hang on, how does the proposed ToC look now?
[11:43] <humphreybc> the extra apps list.. cheese etc
[11:43] <humphreybc> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+bug/504668
[11:43] <humphreybc> last comment by me
[11:43] <dutchie> OK, thakns
[11:44] <jmburgess> I think Ch. 3 should not be internet it should be applications
[11:44] <humphreybc> so we rename "Internet, Emails and IM" to "Applications" and include info on about 8 default apps.
[11:44] <jmburgess> correct
[11:44] <dutchie> is there a reason there is no chapter 9 in that list?
[11:44] <humphreybc> and then "Extra Applications" becomes just a simple bullet point list that we recommend, instead of a summary/feature list and screenshot (as chapter 9 stands now)
[11:44] <humphreybc> dutchie: ^^
[11:44] <jmburgess> correct
[11:45] <humphreybc> just to give the readers an idea about good software
[11:45] <humphreybc> instead of having to google "top 10 ubuntu apps" or something'
[11:45] <humphreybc> or trial and error install every single music player to find a decent one
[11:45] <humphreybc> (and there are a LOT of music players in the repos)
[11:46] <humphreybc> okay cool Joe are you getting all this down?
[11:46] <humphreybc> well not all this
[11:46] <humphreybc> but the important bits on each chapter and what it includes
[11:46] <jmburgess> yeah
[11:46] <jmburgess> so the 8 apps are
[11:46] <jmburgess> openoffice
[11:46] <jmburgess> rhythmbox
[11:46] <jmburgess> tomboy
[11:46] <jmburgess> f-spot
[11:46] <jmburgess> empathy
[11:46] <jmburgess> evolution
[11:46] <jmburgess> firefox
[11:46] <jmburgess> and...
[11:46] <humphreybc> and.... nautlius
[11:47] <humphreybc> nautilus*
[11:47] <jmburgess> i thought naitulus would be in getting around ubuntu
[11:47] <humphreybc> oh okay
[11:47] <humphreybc> well
[11:47] <humphreybc> in that case... move player?
[11:47] <jmburgess> cause nautilus doesn't look like a seperate app
[11:47] <humphreybc> (totem)
[11:47] <humphreybc> how about 7 apps then
[11:47] <jmburgess> sounds good
[11:47] <humphreybc> movie player is higher priority than pitivi - people will want to watch movies before they want to edit them
[11:48] <jmburgess> ok then I will include totem
[11:48] <humphreybc> so either 7 or 8 if we include movie player
[11:48] <humphreybc> ok swet
[11:48] <humphreybc> sweet*
[11:48] <jmburgess> do any of the current chapters overlap with this chapter
[11:48] <humphreybc> now chapter 4, "Settings and external devices"
[11:48] <humphreybc> i don't think so
[11:48] <jmburgess> alright
[11:48] <jmburgess> chaper 4
[11:48] <humphreybc> we don't have synaptic, software center, or terminal in our list of apps
[11:48] <humphreybc> you guys talk about that for a sec while i pop off to the loo
[11:49] <jmburgess> humphreybc: those go in 5
[11:49] <jmburgess> chapter 4 should include
[11:49] <jmburgess> setting up a printer
[11:50] <jmburgess> configuring display
[11:50] <jmburgess> appearance
[11:50] <humphreybc> theming
[11:50] <tacantara> Refresh my memory please....is the subject of "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" touched on in Chapter 3?  That's a useful bit for Firefox (flash) and the media players
[11:50] <jmburgess> screensaver/wallpaper
[11:50] <humphreybc> desktop effects?
[11:50] <humphreybc> oh crud restricted extras
[11:50] <humphreybc> where do we put that?
[11:50] <jmburgess> Users
[11:50] <jmburgess> I think in the firefox section, mention flash
[11:51] <tacantara> Restricted extras is one of those things that always throws noobs for a loop.  Been there myself.
[11:51] <dutchie> as a side note
[11:51] <humphreybc> side note in chapter 2?
[11:51] <dutchie> (like those, well done jmburgess)
[11:51] <humphreybc> or 4?
[11:51] <dutchie> 3
[11:51] <humphreybc> okay
[11:51] <humphreybc> so side note beside firefox
[11:52] <dutchie> next to whichever of firefox, rhythmbox or totem that comes up first
[11:52] <jmburgess> yep
[11:52] <humphreybc> "to enable more stuffs you need to install ubuntu restricted extras"
[11:52] <jmburgess> we forgot ubuntu one in applications
[11:52] <jmburgess> do we want it?
[11:52] <humphreybc> crud
[11:52] <humphreybc> we probably should
[11:53] <jmburgess> alright its in
[11:53] <humphreybc> especially with the emphasis on "social from the start" in lucid
[11:53] <humphreybc> and hows abouts this new "MeMenu" in Lucid?
[11:53] <jmburgess> does the new ch. 4 come from any other chapter?
[11:54] <humphreybc> worryingly, i don't think so
[11:54] <humphreybc> we completely forgot to tell them about the settings menu
[11:54] <humphreybc> sorry, "system" menu
[11:54] <jmburgess> so at this point I feel like we are going to have to delete some of the old chapters, which might be bad
[11:54] <humphreybc> Oo
[11:54] <humphreybc> such as?
[11:55] <jmburgess> some of ch 5
[11:55] <jmburgess> all of ch 9
[11:55] <humphreybc> damn i wish we decided on this last weekend at our first meeting. man it's only been a week since the initial meeting, and we've achieved so much
[11:55] <humphreybc> all of ch 9 is no worries.
[11:55] <humphreybc> who's on 5?
[11:56] <jmburgess> Deon Spengler
[11:56] <jmburgess> has he done anything?
[11:56] <humphreybc> not sure
[11:56] <humphreybc> is there content in chapter 5?
[11:56] <humphreybc> negatice
[11:57] <humphreybc> negative*
[11:57] <jmburgess> excellent!
[11:57] <humphreybc> haha
[11:57] <dutchie> apologies, got to dash
[11:57] <humphreybc> so much for hints and tips
[11:57] <jmburgess> yep
[11:57] <humphreybc> okay dutchie, no worries
[11:57] <humphreybc> okay cool
[11:57] <humphreybc> so chapter 4 is all good, chapter 5... software center/synaptic
[11:57] <humphreybc> explain the concept of packaging
[11:58] <jmburgess> hold on ch. 4 I have
[11:58] <jmburgess> printers
[11:58] <jmburgess> users
[11:58] <jmburgess> desktop effects
[11:58] <jmburgess> themes
[11:58] <jmburgess> wallpaper/scrensave
[11:58] <jmburgess> what else?
[11:58] <jmburgess> display
[11:58] <humphreybc> about me?
[11:58] <humphreybc> stuff like mouse etc shouldn't be too hard to find
[11:58] <jmburgess> correct
[11:59] <jmburgess> alright I think that is a fine list
[11:59] <jmburgess> ch. 5!
[11:59] <humphreybc> we can include things as notes like: "to change your mouse sensitivity, go to System > Preferences > Mouse and adjust the slider"
[11:59] <jmburgess> just the old updates section of ch 6
[11:59] <humphreybc> wait isn't 6 going to include updating?
[12:00] <humphreybc> 5 should just be software center, intro to packages and how they work and then synaptic
[12:00] <jmburgess> I think system maintence should be cleaning up, and backup
[12:00] <jmburgess> ok
[12:00] <jmburgess> that works
[12:00] <humphreybc> then maybe we could have the list of apps from the (current) chapter 9 there too
[12:00] <humphreybc> kinda like "recommended apps from the software center"
[12:00] <humphreybc> although
[12:00] <jmburgess> So the applications part of ch. 4
[12:00] <humphreybc> i think the software center is going to have recommended apps on the front page when u open it up
[12:01] <jmburgess> yep
[12:01] <humphreybc> um so ch 6 will be cleaning up, backing up and updating/upgrading
[12:02] <humphreybc> explain we don't have to defrag etc
[12:02] <humphreybc> no viruses either :)
[12:02] <humphreybc> so really ubuntu maintains most stuff for you
[12:02] <humphreybc> hehe
[12:02] <jmburgess> and ch. 5 is just the applications section of old ch. 4 right?
[12:02] <humphreybc> yeah plus updating and upgrading from old chapter 6
[12:03] <jmburgess> I thought that was going in new ch. 6
[12:03] <humphreybc> oh wait
[12:03] <humphreybc> my bad
[12:03] <humphreybc> yes it is lol
[12:03] <jmburgess> ok
[12:03] <humphreybc> blah blah blah :)
[12:04] <jmburgess> so Ch. 6
[12:04] <jmburgess> is
[12:04] <jmburgess> ...
[12:04] <humphreybc> 6 is updating upgrading, and
[12:04] <humphreybc> um
[12:04] <humphreybc> bollocks.
[12:04] <jmburgess> cleaning (using computer janitor)
[12:04] <jmburgess> and backup
[12:04] <jmburgess> none of those require terminal
[12:04] <humphreybc> yeah but computer janitor is hideous and destroys your computer
[12:04] <jmburgess> it does?
[12:05] <jmburgess> I thought it just ran apt-get update
[12:05] <jmburgess> sorry
[12:05] <jmburgess> apt-get clean
[12:05] <humphreybc> it removes stuff that you've downloaded from sites
[12:05] <humphreybc> like deb packages that aren't in repos
[12:05] <humphreybc> and also removes packages from custom PPAs
[12:05] <humphreybc> basically
[12:05] <humphreybc> probably not a huge issue for newbies tho
[12:05] <jmburgess> oh wow your right
[12:05] <humphreybc> but i never use it
[12:05] <humphreybc> it's dangerous
[12:05] <jmburgess> how about we just don't include cleaning packages
[12:05] <humphreybc> they're working on it for lucid tho
[12:05] <jmburgess> and whenever a proper gui for it comes out
[12:05] <jmburgess> we will include it
[12:06] <humphreybc> yeah should be better in lucid i believe
[12:06] <humphreybc> although not sure
[12:06] <jmburgess> ok
[12:06] <jmburgess> so
[12:06] <jmburgess> ch 6 is
[12:06] <jmburgess> old ch 6
[12:06] <jmburgess> minus cleaning packages
[12:06] <jmburgess> plus backin up
[12:06] <jmburgess> and I think I will talk about using TimeVault
[12:06] <jmburgess> is that ok with everyone
[12:06] <humphreybc> everyone = me
[12:06] <humphreybc> me = yes
[12:06] <humphreybc> lol
[12:07] <tacantara> Agree
[12:07] <humphreybc> i've never used time vault but it sounds cool
[12:07] <humphreybc> oh tacantara you're still here xD
[12:07] <humphreybc> sorry!
[12:07] <jmburgess> alright
[12:07] <jmburgess> Ch. 7!
[12:07] <humphreybc> sweet
[12:07] <jmburgess> This is where advanced starts
[12:07] <humphreybc> well chapter 7 is just intro to terminal
[12:07] <jmburgess> Right which is the same in the old version
[12:07] <jmburgess> so
[12:07] <humphreybc> so the first half of current chapter 7
[12:07] <jmburgess> done
[12:07] <jmburgess> yep
[12:08] <humphreybc> well minus system maintenance part of 7
[12:08] <humphreybc> (old 7)
[12:08] <humphreybc> um
[12:08] <humphreybc> security?
[12:08] <humphreybc> sort of left this out
[12:08] <humphreybc> system maintenance?
[12:08] <jmburgess> yea
[12:08] <jmburgess> I think in system maintenance
[12:08] <humphreybc> it doesn't have to be long, linux is fairly secure. and ubuntu opens no ports by default
[12:08] <jmburgess> correct
[12:08] <humphreybc> okay add that as a section in system maintenance
[12:09] <humphreybc> cool chapter 8
[12:09] <humphreybc> um
[12:09] <humphreybc> well same as current chapter 10
[12:09] <humphreybc> i mean
[12:09] <jmburgess> Also I think that we just need to put in notes throughout the manual on like only use signed packages
[12:09] <humphreybc> old chapter 10
[12:09] <jmburgess> etc..
[12:09] <jmburgess> yep
[12:09] <humphreybc> yep good idea
[12:09] <humphreybc> these notes will be handy
[12:09] <jmburgess> Ill make a security note as well
[12:10] <jmburgess> so ch. 9?
[12:10] <humphreybc> chapter nine is just old chapter 10
[12:10] <jmburgess> I thought 8 was old ch. 10
[12:10] <jmburgess> you skip 9 on your list btw
[12:10] <humphreybc> oh crap lol
[12:11] <humphreybc> yeah
[12:11] <humphreybc> so 8 is old chapter 10
[12:11] <humphreybc> no idea what chapter 9 will be
[12:11] <humphreybc> ideas?
[12:11] <jmburgess> hmmmmmmmmmm
[12:11] <humphreybc> i feel like the fate of the world lies in the outcome of this rather casual meeting O.o
[12:12] <jmburgess> yep
[12:12] <jmburgess> haha
[12:12] <humphreybc> well
[12:12] <humphreybc> we could have a dedicated chapter on security
[12:12] <humphreybc> or bring back our extra apps chater
[12:12] <humphreybc> chapter*
[12:12] <jmburgess> lets just have 9 chapters
[12:12] <humphreybc> or split up new ch 3 into "multimedia apps" and "internet apps"
[12:13] <jmburgess> but then where does tomboy go?
[12:13] <humphreybc> or just have 9 chapters, right
[12:13] <jmburgess> yea
[12:13] <humphreybc> oh gawd true
[12:13] <humphreybc> who uses tomboy, really
[12:13] <humphreybc> haha
[12:13] <jmburgess> ME!
[12:13]  * jmburgess hugs is tomboy
[12:13] <humphreybc> man i never make notes on my computer. if i do it's alt+F2 gedit
[12:14] <humphreybc> okay 9 chapters it is for now
[12:14] <humphreybc> i think that fits everything in
[12:14] <humphreybc> could you pastebin your notes?
[12:14] <jmburgess> ch. 9 is a completly new chapter right?
[12:14] <humphreybc> well kinda
[12:14] <jmburgess> right
[12:14] <humphreybc> it's "Learning more about Linux and extra applications"
[12:15] <humphreybc> so involves the "choosing a version" part from old chapter 3
[12:15] <humphreybc> and talks about other distros
[12:15] <humphreybc> and has our list of extra apss
[12:15] <humphreybc> apps*
[12:15] <jmburgess> sounds good
[12:15] <humphreybc> probably Unix/Linux history could go in there, but nah
[12:15] <humphreybc> that can go with history of Ubuntu
[12:16] <jmburgess> which extra apps do we want?
[12:16] <humphreybc> the stuff on the wiki list currently
[12:16] <humphreybc> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/TableOfContents
[12:16] <jmburgess> ok
[12:17] <humphreybc> cool
[12:17] <humphreybc> pitivi won't be extra tho
[12:17] <humphreybc> and opera 10.5 might be better than google chrome when they release it (the alpha seems to be)
[12:17] <jmburgess> http://paste.ubuntu.com/353908/
[12:17] <MootBot> LINK received:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/353908/
[12:17] <tacantara> The list on the wiki is good.  As users become familiar with the concept of Software Center and Synaptic, they'll know to go to those when they have a need for an app
[12:18] <jmburgess> yep
[12:18] <jmburgess> Does that make sense to everyone
[12:18] <humphreybc> makes sense to me
[12:18] <tacantara> For sure
[12:18] <jmburgess> alrighty, I am going to clean that up a bit and then post it
[12:18] <humphreybc> sweet
[12:19] <humphreybc> mention that the extra apps list in the new ToC won't include detail
[12:19] <humphreybc> it'll just be a list
[12:19] <humphreybc> rename "sidebar" to note
[12:19] <humphreybc> other than that sweet
[12:19] <humphreybc> we'll have to see what the others say
[12:19] <jmburgess> sounds good
[12:20] <humphreybc> so who's going to change around all this shit under latex?
[12:20] <jmburgess> haha
[12:20] <jmburgess> a
[12:20]  * humphreybc realises he can't swear now that it's a logged channel
[12:20] <jmburgess> ouch
[12:20] <jmburgess> ummm I can if you want
[12:20] <humphreybc> you sure?
[12:20] <humphreybc> i'll change the wiki
[12:20] <humphreybc> and sort out the sections
[12:21] <humphreybc> then you could use that as a guide
[12:21] <humphreybc> but we can't really start yet
[12:21] <humphreybc> till the rest of the team has their say on our proposal
[12:21] <humphreybc> it's a democracy, after all
[12:21] <jmburgess> if you do all the blueprint re doin
[12:21] <humphreybc> yep
[12:21] <jmburgess> ok
[12:21] <humphreybc> i'll handle the blueprints and wiki
[12:21] <humphreybc> when we do change over
[12:21] <humphreybc> sweet
[12:22] <humphreybc> anything else?
[12:22] <jmburgess> nope
[12:22] <humphreybc> man 1hr, 20min long meeting... supposed to be a "brief!"
[12:22] <jmburgess> haha
[12:22] <humphreybc> that's an ironic name for a long meeting..
[12:22] <humphreybc> okay
[12:22] <humphreybc> #endmeeting
[12:22] <MootBot> Meeting finished at 06:22.
[12:23] <humphreybc> oh yeah and jmburgess you'll have to work out a better way to display the credits
[12:23] <jmburgess> yep
[12:23] <humphreybc> preferably not as another chapter
[12:23] <jmburgess> my list of latex things to do is
[12:23] <humphreybc> and without bullet points
[12:23] <jmburgess> work on notes
[12:23] <jmburgess> get images goin
[12:23] <jmburgess> ToC to look pretty
[12:24] <jmburgess> glossary to function (and write wiki entry on how)
[12:24] <vish> hi... folks.. damn i missed the meeting  :/
[12:24] <jmburgess> index to function (and write wiki entry on how)
[12:24] <vish> well , i'll check logs  ;)
[12:24] <jmburgess> And credits
[12:24] <humphreybc> vish you sure did! no worries, check the log out
[12:24] <humphreybc> index?
[12:25] <jmburgess> an index in the back
[12:25] <humphreybc> oh okay neat
[12:25] <jmburgess> its pretty easy in latex so I figured why not
[12:25] <humphreybc> how will that work? automated?
[12:25] <humphreybc> sweet!
[12:25] <jmburgess> I mean I think you have to choose words, but it is easy
[12:25] <humphreybc> okay
[12:26] <vish> humphreybc: i wanted to mention something , I noticed a lot of mails regarding terminal and commands in the manual. I didnt check out the pages actually are there several commands that users are asked to use? if so we should try and keep this to the minimul
[12:26] <vish> minimum*
[12:27] <jmburgess> I agree, I think the terminalshould not be mentioned until the advanced section
[12:27] <vish> +1
[12:27] <humphreybc> wait vish:
[12:27] <humphreybc> do you mean for people working on the manual?
[12:28] <vish> humphreybc: no , i mean in the actual manual contents. there is mention of codeblocks ,etc...
[12:28] <humphreybc> oh right
[12:28] <humphreybc> yeah that's only for chapter 7 (terminal)
[12:29] <humphreybc> we are gonna avoid CLI at all costs everywhere else :)
[12:30] <vish> humphreybc: try not to move that chapter out to the advanced section and an introduction before the really advanced stuff
[12:30] <vish> try to move*
[12:30] <humphreybc> yep we've done that
[12:30] <humphreybc> check out: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+bug/504668
[12:30] <vish> cool :)
[12:30] <humphreybc> the last two comments
[12:30] <humphreybc> they basically summarize what you missed in this meeting :(
[12:30] <humphreybc> :) *
[12:31] <vish> ;)
[12:31]  * vish reads
[12:32] <jmburgess> humphreybc: since you did the last one, do you want me to write the summary for this
[12:32] <jmburgess> meetin
[12:32] <humphreybc> sure if you want to
[12:32] <jmburgess> I will
[12:32] <jmburgess> I am actually going to go back to bed now
[12:33] <humphreybc> just stick it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Meetings
[12:33] <humphreybc> haha fair enough mate
[12:33] <jmburgess> but I will see you guys later
[12:33] <humphreybc> i do not blame you!
[12:35] <humphreybc> and i'm going to sleep
[12:35] <humphreybc> night everyone
[12:35] <vish> humphreybc: so if I'm reading the comments right. chp7 is now only an intro to terminal
[12:35] <humphreybc> vish:
[12:35] <humphreybc> well kinda
[12:35] <humphreybc> but if you look at the old intro
[12:35] <humphreybc> here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/TableOfContents
[12:36] <humphreybc> you'll notice it includes quite a lot
[12:36] <humphreybc> What is a terminal? Sudo in the terminal Browsing the file system Manipulating files Virtual terminals Useful commands
[12:37] <humphreybc> so that should be no problem
[12:37] <vish> humphreybc: is the intro really necessary? if it is to be there in the end of the intro you could just say "Dont worry you dont need terminal to really enjoy Ubuntu"
[12:37] <humphreybc> leave your comments on the new proposed ToC on the bug report
[12:38] <vish> humphreybc: ok.. sure
[12:38] <humphreybc> haha sorry i'm going to sleep now, almost 2am here :)
[12:38] <vish> humphreybc: nite  , bye
[12:46] <komsas> Hello
[12:53] <komsas> I found this project and now thinking to translate it in Lithuanian. I see that all writing is in early development so when is right to start translate this manual? in Alpha release?
[12:54] <vish> jmburgess: ^^
[12:56] <vish> komsas: i think jmburgess and other team members working actively on the manual are asleep... you just missed them by a few mins
[12:57] <jmburgess> hey
[12:57] <jmburgess> i was just checking irc
[12:57] <jmburgess> haha
[12:57] <vish> ;)
[12:57] <jmburgess> komsas: now!
[12:58] <jmburgess> komsas: check out https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual
[12:58] <jmburgess> that should get you started
[12:59] <komsas> so all string what is now written dont change in feature?
[13:00] <jmburgess> they might change in the future, but they shouldn't too much
[13:00] <jmburgess> if you want to wait until after the alpha release you can
[13:03] <jmburgess> komsas: does that make sense?
[13:03] <komsas> thanks jmburgess I think will find more Lithuanian Ubuntu user who want to contribute and after the alpha we will start
[13:05] <jmburgess> excellent thank you ver much for helping
[16:50] <thorwil> hi! i'm trying to join your mailing list via LP. the Subscribe link doesn't seem to work for me
[16:51] <thorwil> is there a mailman interface? i note it's not listed on https://lists.ubuntu.com/
[16:53] <dutchie> you should automatically be subscribed if you join the team
[16:53] <dutchie> check https://help.launchpad.net/Teams/MailingLists
[16:54] <thorwil> ignore me, just saw i'd need to become a member first. so it's a LP bug the Subscribe button is there nonetheless
[16:54] <thorwil> ok, joined team and list
[17:23] <wolter> dutchie, are you there?
[17:25] <dutchie> o/
[17:25] <wolter> hey, humphrey wanted to get a bot for the channel
[17:25] <wolter> now i know where to get them, but I don't know if you should install it or something
[17:26] <wolter> dutchie, i just know that ubottu is derived of some "supybot" or something like that, but you can get more info if you go to #ubuntu-irc and say !botclone
[17:30] <dutchie> did you ask the guys in #ubuntu-irc about getting the bot in here?
[17:31] <wolter> yeah
[17:31] <dutchie> what did they say?
[17:31] <wolter> the major guy, terrese morris or something
[17:31] <wolter> said ubottu was in too many channels
[17:31] <wolter> and ccouldn't handle one more
[17:31] <wolter> or something like that
[17:31] <dutchie> did you ask about ubot4 or ubot2?
[17:31] <wolter> but he said that we could get a bot from launchpad, that supybot
[17:31] <wolter> no, I did not, are they different?
[17:32] <dutchie> i'll go and ask in #ubuntu-irc
[17:41] <wolter> hey thorwil
[17:41] <wolter> you there? I saw your titlepage proposal
[17:41] <thorwil> hi wolter
[17:41] <wolter> I have to say I like it, its very clean
[17:42] <wolter> I have some feedback though
[17:42] <thorwil> wolter: thanks, i'm listening
[17:42] <wolter> I think that the lynx takes away a lot of the attention. It is very nice that it only occupies 3 colors
[17:42] <wolter> But I think it would do better off as a watermark, or if it was next to the title, as you said on the mail
[17:43] <wolter> Also, I think that "created by" is sort of missing from the cover
[17:43] <wolter> and that that couple of texts (the credits and the manual version release) are a bit big and a bit distracting as well
[17:44] <thorwil> wolter: one would have to reduce the lynx to shape or line with no eyes to have a chance of it not working like an eye magnet
[17:45] <wolter> you're probably right
[17:45] <wolter> you made the lynx?
[17:45] <thorwil> wolter: making the text smaller is easy. might just use the internal text size as smallest
[17:45] <thorwil> wolter: yes, for a t-shirt, initially
[17:45] <wolter> oh, nice
[17:45] <thorwil> ty!
[17:46] <wolter> but i like how you aligned everything to a vertical line
[17:46] <wolter> looks neat
[17:47] <thorwil> that's the idea :)
[17:47] <wolter> now, I do agree with what you said about the coof
[17:47] <wolter> i wouldn't bash it away, but move it somewhere else
[17:48] <thorwil> wolter: it's a rather loud element and must be handled very careful to not throw things off balance
[17:49] <thorwil> it's easier t handle in a single color, but i kinda feel bad whenever i try that
[17:51] <wolter> The cof in a single color?
[17:51] <thorwil> yes
[17:52] <wolter> yeah well, i think we should (all) attach our svg documents
[17:52] <wolter> to fool around and get to optimal designs
[17:55] <thorwil> hmm, i prefer to tweak my designs myself based on feedback. too many cooks, design by committee and all that ...
[17:55] <thorwil> dinner time, bbl
[17:56] <dutchie> suggestions for a nick for the bot?
[18:05] <dutchie> !ping
[18:05] <dutchie> hmm

[18:26] <dutchie> bug 1
[18:27] <thorwil> vish: are you currently editing the wiki?
[18:27] <vish> oh.. yeah
[18:28] <vish> thorwil: just used your lynx and adding the mage
[18:28] <dutchie> bug 1
[18:28] <vish> image*
[18:28] <thorwil> vish: just saw a warning, but it saved my edit
[18:28] <thorwil> vish: tell me when you're done
[18:28] <vish> ah , np.. was just attaching the image
[18:29] <dutchie> bug 1
[18:29] <manualbot> dutchie: Error: I don't have a bugtracker .
[18:29] <manualbot> dutchie: Error: I don't have a bugtracker .
[18:29] <dutchie> hmm
[18:29] <vish> thorwil: have you finished editing the page?
[18:29] <vish> it seems locked with you
[18:29] <thorwil> vish: yes, just did
[18:30]  * vish  tries again
[18:30] <dutchie> bug 1
[18:30] <manualbot> Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu Jaunty "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1
[18:30] <dutchie> :)
[18:30] <thorwil> wolter: added the svg source, since i provided vish with the lynx already, anyway :)
[18:31] <dutchie> right, that should do for now
[18:31] <dutchie> any more suggestions about the bot?
[18:32] <vish> thorwil: the "Ubuntu 10.04 Operating system" is not center aligned..
[18:34] <thorwil> vish: what do you think it is supposed to be aligned with?
[18:34] <vish> thorwil: hmm , the whole page seems center aligned except those two lines :(
[18:36] <thorwil> vish: http://www.foopics.com/get/75a8ad05694f6eabbffc8c99c4a56a32/0
[18:36] <vish> thorwil: i attached a version with your lynx
[18:38] <thorwil> vish: i really wonder how you came to think aynthing would be center aligned
[18:38] <vish> thorwil: oh , the "The" is out of line then ;) but if not for the lines it seems the text is center aligned
[18:39] <vish> thorwil: exclude the image and note the text
[18:40] <vish> thorwil: it just happens that all the text below are the same length[except the second line] , so they seem aligned together.. rather than left aligned
[18:41] <vish> an unfortunate coincidence
[18:42] <thorwil> true. especially the footer is too close to having the same margin to both sides
[18:42] <thorwil> well, that will disappear with smaller text
[18:43] <wolter> oh let me check wiki
[18:43] <wolter> dutchie, i could come up with a name
[18:43] <wolter> hm.. manubot?
[18:43] <dutchie> well, it's manualbot now
[18:43] <thorwil> vish: that's a rather brutal treatment of the lynx
[18:43] <dutchie> !hello | wolter
[18:43] <manualbot> wolter: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-manual! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay!
[18:43] <vish> hehe
[18:43] <wolter> nice
[18:44] <wolter> is that manual bot sounds like non-automatic bot
[18:44] <vish> thorwil: you know me i suck the goodness out of everything ;p
[18:44] <dutchie> heh, hadn't thought of that
[18:44] <vish> dutchie: autobot ?
[18:44] <wolter> lol
[18:44] <vish> ;p
[18:44] <wolter> decept... nah i better don't start that
[18:45] <wolter> so, we have about 3 bots now
[18:45] <wolter> MootBot, manualbot and ubuntulog ?
[18:45] <wolter> can't manual bot do all three of functions?
[18:45] <vish> nope
[18:45] <dutchie> it can log, but it can't put them on logs.ubuntu.com or wherever ubuntulog puts them
[18:46] <wolter> how about manuel?
[18:46] <wolter> its a real name, and sounds like manual
[18:46] <dutchie> ooh, I like that
[18:46] <wolter> would be funny if people thought at first manuel was a human being haha
[18:46] <wolter> nice =D
[18:46] <wolter> oh
[18:46] <dutchie> fawlty towers jokes available too
[18:47] <wolter> ooh vish i like your update with lynx
[18:47] <wolter> one thing though, the square cut looks very un-smooth
[18:48] <wolter> how about MootBot /
[18:48] <wolter> ?
[18:48] <vish> wolter: i would have tried to do an outline of the lynx alone.. but i was lazy .;)
[18:48] <wolter> oh hah
[18:49] <wolter> I actually like how that lynx can be reduced to a 2 color pallete
[18:49] <wolter> also you should finish up the ears :-\
[18:49] <dutchie> bah, manuel is registered
[18:50] <wolter> really?
[18:50] <wolter> that *sucks*
[18:50] <wolter> who has it?
[18:50] <wolter> ima break their face
[18:50] <dutchie> some guy actually called manuel ;)
[18:52] <wolter> ahh.. as a man name
[18:52] <dutchie> meh, I'll stick with manualbot
[18:52] <wolter> ok
[18:52] <wolter> ill think of something else anyway
[18:54] <wolter> haha, how about rtfmbot
[18:55] <dutchie> maybe not the best impression to give
[18:55] <wolter> yeah, i know, jk
[18:57] <dutchie> wolter: you didn't just register it did you?
[18:57] <wolter> no haha
[18:57] <dutchie> phew
[18:58] <wolter> i was trying to see how to check for registered names
[18:58] <wolter> but you didn't want it anyway haha
[18:58] <wolter> where did the bot go?
[18:58] <dutchie> offline, while I fiddle the config again
[18:58] <wolter> anyway, i will keep thinking of names.. i think robomanuel would be nice
[18:59] <wolter> you don't have to take the names, as you know already
[18:59] <wolter> ill just be saying some names in case you want any
[18:59] <dutchie> win 20
[18:59] <dutchie> bah
[18:59] <wolter> win 20?
[18:59] <dutchie> while since I've done that
[19:00] <dutchie> meant to change to irssi window 20, but missed the /
[19:05] <manolo> damn
[19:06] <dutchie> wolter: /msg NickServ info <nick>
[19:06] <manuelette> oh
[19:07]  * dutchie goes for manualbot
[19:07]  * wolter knows ^_^
[19:08]  * wolter just thinks manualbot is a bit boring, not that it should be funny though
[19:12] <wolter> tumbot would stand for the ubuntu manual bot
[19:12]  * wolter feels a "shut up" frequency coming from dutchie
[19:15] <pererik87> It doesn't stand howto: New wacom tablet bamboo(pen) + karmic koala Nightmare somewhere in the manual
[19:16] <wolter> pererik87, lol what?
[19:16] <wolter> works out of the box
[19:16] <wolter> well, bamboo fun at least
[19:16] <dutchie> pererik87: the manual isn't really supposed to go into that much detail about things like that
[19:17] <pererik87> first of all it does not work with the new ones. and second. i was not serious about looking for it in the manual:P
[19:18] <wolter> haha

[22:23] <dutchie> we've got the bug 1 tracking thing too
[22:23] <strubbl> which software is this bot?

[22:23] <manualbot> dutchie: Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1)
[22:23] <dutchie> heh
[22:24] <dutchie> strubbl: supybot
[22:24]  * humphreybc is unbelievably thrilled that he can access his uni work over the internet without having to venture out in the rain
[22:24]  * dutchie pokes manualbot with bug 1 again
[22:25] <manualbot> dutchie: Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1)
[22:25] <humphreybc> haha well it works but with errors?
[22:25] <dutchie> ah, it'll sort itself out eventually
[22:26] <humphreybc> haha
[22:27] <humphreybc> right i need me some coffee. busy sunday, assignment due tomorrow.
[22:33] <humphreybc> vish are you there?
[22:33] <vish> o/
[22:33] <humphreybc> did wolter not send you his lynx yet?
[22:33] <dutchie> ah yes, I was going to set up a thingy to pop up when wiki edits happeneed
[22:33] <vish> humphreybc: did you check the wiki? I added a cover with thorwil's lynx
[22:34] <humphreybc> dutchie: that would be cool. i'm already subscribed but popups in here would be oresome
[22:34] <humphreybc> vish yeah I did
[22:34] <humphreybc> and I think wolters lynx would look infinitely better
[22:35] <vish>  hm...
[22:35] <humphreybc> thorwills lynx is square shaped! it works well on his
[22:35] <humphreybc> but not on yours!
[22:35] <vish> humphreybc: i'll try it without the square?
[22:36] <humphreybc> well you could but I would just wait till wolter emails you his. have you asked him yet?
[22:36] <vish> bah... then it would look weird :/
[22:36] <humphreybc> seriously just wait till he sends you his. you'll see what i mean :)
[22:36] <humphreybc> what does everyone think of thorwil's proposals?
[22:36] <vish> humphreybc: ok..sure... wolter ?
[22:37] <vish> wolter: do you have your latest lynx?
[22:37] <vish> humphreybc: actually wolter has the svg from my mockup he could add it himself too
[22:38] <humphreybc> I've got wolters svg
[22:38] <humphreybc> what's your email address
[22:38] <humphreybc> i'll send it to you and you can pull the lynx off it
[22:38] <humphreybc> and stick it on yours
[22:38] <vish> drkvi-a at yahoo dot com
[22:39]  * dutchie ponders the best way to get wiki updates as they happen
[22:39] <vish> humphreybc: send it.. its pretty late here... i'll get it done tomorrow
[22:39] <humphreybc> okay
[22:39] <humphreybc> sent
[22:39] <vish> ok.. nite all
[22:39] <humphreybc> night
[22:44]  * humphreybc ponders the title page proposals
[22:50] <humphreybc> here's trouble
[22:51] <sebsebseb> hi
[22:52] <humphreybc> :)
[22:52] <humphreybc> hi sebsebseb
[22:52] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: Hi
[22:53] <humphreybc> lol dutchie: just reading over the logs, wolter when did I say I wanted a bot for the channel? :P
[22:54] <dutchie> ah well, we've got one now
[22:54] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: we, meaning you as well, wanted it logged, but  we don't really need a bot that is like ubottu
[22:55] <humphreybc> haha yeah i meant a logbot, not a AI bot but i guess it's fun. and I never knew it could give you wiki updates etc, so it will be useful :)
[22:55] <humphreybc> plus how cool are we with our own bot
[22:55] <dutchie> well, it will give wiki updates once I've written the plugin
[22:55] <dutchie> :)
[22:55] <humphreybc> now I just need to work out how to become an OP for this chatroom so I can change the topic :P
[22:55] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: AI bot?  I just joined, and not seen the log of today again.  anyway is that what  strubbl is?
[22:56] <dutchie> !hello | sebsebseb
[22:56] <manualbot> sebsebseb: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-manual! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay!
[22:56] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: oh now I see it
[22:56] <sebsebseb> ok strubbl is a person then I expect
[22:56] <humphreybc> haha
[22:56] <humphreybc> neat
[22:56] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: ok that's a copy of  ubottu it seems yeah
[22:56] <humphreybc> how can we customize that?
[22:56] <humphreybc> and maybe make it automatically greet people :)
[22:57] <humphreybc> save us posting links etc
[22:57] <dutchie> give me a chance
[22:57] <humphreybc> hahahaha
[22:57] <humphreybc> okay okay sorry
[22:57] <sebsebseb> popey and jussi01  and jpds  people like that would know how to  customize it
[22:57] <dutchie> but yes, very customisable
[22:57] <dutchie> hey, I'm running the thing
[22:58] <sebsebseb> dutchie: oh right ok
[22:58] <strubbl> strubbl==bot? never xD
[22:58] <sebsebseb> strubbl: well that was the new name I saw in the list
[22:59] <sebsebseb> I saw one new name not two,  meaning  I wasn't looking properly it seems
[22:59] <strubbl> ah ok sebsebseb
[22:59] <dutchie> it nearly got called manuel, but that nick was taken :(
[23:00] <humphreybc> darn!
[23:00] <sebsebseb> dutchie: maybe Manualbot or  Manual-bot or something like that,  doesn't really matter though
[23:00] <humphreybc> call it gertrude
[23:00] <dutchie> it's registered and everything now, can't be bothered to change it
[23:00] <dutchie> sebsebseb: it's called manualbot...
[23:00] <strubbl> call it ingeborg
[23:01] <humphreybc> bumblebee? optimusprime?
[23:01] <sebsebseb> dutchie: yeah, but no capital at the begining,  I think that would look better, but doesn't really matter
[23:01] <humphreybc> if you called it bumblebee you'd have to configure it to play random radio stations from last.fm or something
[23:02] <humphreybc> sebsebseb: well considering practically everyone on IRC has their username as all lowercase, it makes sense that the manualbot is the same
[23:02]  * humphreybc likes it how there are three bots in our channel
[23:03] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: I don't know what MootBot does though
[23:03] <sebsebseb> something to do with meetings
[23:03] <sebsebseb> that's all I know
[23:03] <humphreybc> mootbot handles meetings
[23:03] <humphreybc> gives you voting, topic options etc
[23:04] <humphreybc> so dutchie, i'm curious, how do you configure the bot?
[23:04] <sebsebseb> anyway oh ok, for manualbot starting with a lower case letter
[23:05] <dutchie> it's pretty much default supybot with the ubottu plugins atm
[23:05] <humphreybc> yeah i know nothing about bots on IRC
[23:06] <humphreybc> do you configure scripts and upload them somewhere or is all configuration done with commands on irc in a PM with them?
[23:06] <dutchie> there's a load of config and Python source sat on my VPS
[23:06] <dutchie> but you can do a fair bit via PM
[23:07] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: they get registered like a real person, and then they do whatever to them
[23:07] <dutchie> hmm, this wiki thing may not be as easy as all that
[23:08] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: should mention logs in the topic really, and maybe IRC guidelines as well, since this is new an offical channel properly
[23:08] <sebsebseb> now not new above
[23:10] <humphreybc> i would like to change the topic but I can't because i'm not an OP
[23:10] <humphreybc> i need to figure out how to make myself an OP
[23:10] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: oh that's easy enough
[23:10] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: also it does say that you set the topic
[23:10] <humphreybc> yeah i know, when i created the channel
[23:10] <humphreybc> but when i logged off I lost my OP status
[23:10] <humphreybc> do you know how to make myself an OP again?
[23:10] <dutchie> humphreybc: /msg ChanServ op I think
[23:10] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: yes
[23:11] <dutchie> something like that
[23:11] <sebsebseb> dutchie: nearly
[23:11] <dutchie> specify the channel somewhere
[23:11] <dutchie> op #ubuntu-manual
[23:11] <humphreybc> done
[23:11] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: when you do it this should work.  /chanserv op #ubuntu-manual
[23:11] <humphreybc> and can I set it to do it automatically when I join?
[23:11] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: then /topic to change the topic and put in a new oen
[23:11] <sebsebseb> one
[23:11] <humphreybc> doesn't that mean anyone can become an OP? lol
[23:12] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: and Freenode guidelines say people shoudn't show op all the time
[23:12] <sebsebseb> Ubuntu channels are like that to
[23:12] <sebsebseb> only do op stuff when you have a reason to
[23:13] <dutchie> only becuase ubuntu channels are on freenode
[23:13] <sebsebseb> dutchie: well yeah
[23:13] <humphreybc> what's the justification for that rule?
[23:13] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: then to not show op anymore /chanserv deop #ubuntu-manual
[23:14] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: and well your on Pidgin not sure about that one, but  with Konversation for example,  you can become op and take op  graphically, as well as kick and ban
[23:15] <humphreybc> but can't anyone become an OP?
[23:15] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: no
[23:15] <humphreybc> so howcome I can become OP?
[23:15] <sebsebseb> That's, because you started the channel
[23:15] <dutchie> /msg ChanServ #ubuntu-manual access gives the list of people who can
[23:15] <sebsebseb> and registered it
[23:15] <dutchie> erm, swap that round
[23:16] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: you cam make other people op as well
[23:16] <dutchie> and add list
[23:16] <sebsebseb> can above
[23:16] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: in the topic I would do an actsaul url for the logs
[23:16] <sebsebseb> so people can click on it and go there
[23:16] <humphreybc> righto
[23:17] <dutchie> that could be a pain, as they change daily
[23:17] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: also you should put in the  guidelines link really
[23:17]  * dutchie spies a job for the bot
[23:17] <sebsebseb> dutchie: no it links to  the main logs site
[23:17] <sebsebseb> then people go on the logs they want to go on
[23:17] <humphreybc> yeah dutchie just a link to the main log site
[23:17] <sebsebseb> and those are done by  day, month, and year
[23:18] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: and the guidelines link, and the topic is fine  for now I think

[23:20] <sebsebseb> oh going a bit off topic here, then again Subunit's bug 1 is relevant   really for the manual in a way
[23:20] <manualbot> sebsebseb: Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1)

[23:22] <sebsebseb> oh well, had a feeling that woudn't work since...

[23:22] <manualbot> Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come.
[23:22] <humphreybc> lol sebsebseb yeah I have seen bug #1
[23:22] <dutchie> stop saying bug 1

[23:23] <humphreybc> dutchie: could we have it pop up when someone pushes through a new revision?
[23:23] <humphreybc> or changes a blueprint? or files a new bug?
[23:23] <humphreybc> :)
[23:23] <sebsebseb> dutchie: that used to work in #ubuntu and I have a feeling I know why  they removed it for that channel
[23:23] <dutchie> well, we've got this:
[23:24] <dutchie> @svn 66
[23:24] <dutchie> I mean

[23:26] <humphreybc> wait who are the admins on LP?
[23:27] <humphreybc> me, joe and dutchie right?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: not sure if you should do the Code Of Conduct as well
[23:27] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: that's a point
[23:27] <sebsebseb> I think anyone that you add as op to the channel
[23:27] <sebsebseb> has to sign the code of conduct first realy
[23:27] <dutchie> /msg ChanServ access #ubuntu-manual add <nick> OP
[23:27] <sebsebseb> and agree to it

[23:31] <humphreybc> dutchie has

[23:32] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: Ubuntu Manual  discussion
[23:32] <humphreybc> ?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> put that at the begining of the topic]
[23:32] <sebsebseb> instead of that long message, that will be better
[23:32] <sebsebseb> or if you like,  Ubuntu Manual project discussion
[23:33] <humphreybc> blah

[23:33] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: nearly
[23:33] <humphreybc> that's good enough
[23:34] <sebsebseb> One last topic change :D put  Discussion
[23:34]  * humphreybc is interested to see that we have 5 ubuntu members in here
[23:35] <dutchie> rev 66
[23:35] <manualbot> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/revision/66 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual -r 66
[23:35] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: yeah and ianto who probably will end up becoming one, since he is in charge of  the Welsh loco
[23:35] <humphreybc> dutchie: you look much younger than I thought you were!
[23:35] <dutchie> heh
[23:35] <humphreybc> how old are you?
[23:35] <dutchie> 17
[23:36] <humphreybc> fair enough
[23:36] <humphreybc> how old is joe?
[23:36] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: Ubuntu  Manual Project Discussion
[23:36] <ianto> Membership is so over-rated
[23:37] <humphreybc> would be fairly funny if the 3 leaders of this project were all under 20
[23:37] <sebsebseb> ianto: this channel is publically logged now by the way
[23:37] <humphreybc> ianto: ah but people listen to you on UF
[23:37] <dutchie> !info texlive
[23:37] <manualbot> dutchie: Error: 'supybot.plugins.PackageInfo.defaultRelease' is not set
[23:37] <dutchie> oh dear
[23:37] <humphreybc> although, I'm pretty sure there are a few members who shouldn't be members :S
[23:38] <ianto> On UF?  What's that?
[23:38] <sebsebseb> ianto: Ubuntu Forums I assume
[23:38] <humphreybc> yeah the forums
[23:38] <dutchie> note the realname on the bot ;)
[23:39] <ianto> Heh well nobdy listens to me and I'm a moderator on there
[23:39] <humphreybc> polarish.joshh.co.uk?
[23:39] <sebsebseb> ianto: oh I didn't know that
[23:39]  * dutchie hates fora anyway
[23:39] <sebsebseb> dutchie: fora?
[23:39] <humphreybc> ianta: how did you become a mod?
[23:39] <dutchie> plural of forum
[23:39] <dutchie> humphreybc: do a /whois
[23:40] <humphreybc> oh ianto = chris swift
[23:40] <ianto> humphreybc:  By having a subforum on there
[23:40] <sebsebseb> I have used Ubuntu since the second release in 2005 (Mandriva at the moment on here, 9.04 on other computer)  and I never signed up on the forum
[23:40] <humphreybc> ianto: I requested a subforum for the manual but KiwiNZ never got back to me.
[23:40] <sebsebseb> or did I and forgot, no don't think so
[23:41] <sebsebseb> used another forum a bit when I was doing Fedora Core 2 and 4 before Ubuntu, or whatever
[23:41] <dutchie> I added a custom factoid too
[23:41] <dutchie> !quotes
[23:41] <manualbot> LaTeX quotes should be done like ``this'' or `this', not like "this" or 'this'
[23:41] <humphreybc> so what's the reasoning for the custom quotes?
[23:42] <humphreybc> so wait it's ``this''
[23:42] <dutchie> yeah
[23:42] <humphreybc> howcome? just a random latex thing?
[23:42] <dutchie> if you use the latex-suite plugin for vim, it does that automatically
[23:42] <dutchie> yeah, it's just a latex thing
[23:42] <humphreybc> okay
[23:42] <dutchie> there is a reason for it, though I've forgotten it
[23:42] <humphreybc> i'm using gedit lol
[23:43] <humphreybc> perhaps I should use a better text editor..
[23:43] <dutchie> gedit is a perfectly capable editor
[23:43] <dutchie> hmm, I wonder

[23:46]  * humphreybc reluctantly starts work on his economics assignment
[23:46]  * dutchie notes that no-one has started the epic reorganisation
[23:48] <sebsebseb> humphreybc: /chanserv deop #ubuntu-manual unless your going to change the topic again of course
[23:48] <dutchie> ooh, and the meeting notes
[23:49] <dutchie> humphreybc: if you'd send me a link to the minutes, I'll write them up
[23:49] <humphreybc> meeting notes..
[23:49] <humphreybc> jmburgess was going to do this
[23:50] <humphreybc> and stick em on the meeting page on the wiki
[23:50]  * humphreybc realises he has the wrong freakin' stuff for his assignment and might have to venture out in the rain at some point to get the right stuff. damn it
[23:52] <sebsebseb> dutchie: should chanserv maybe guard this channel?  I think most Ubuntu channels if not all, bother with it?
[23:52] <sebsebseb> don't bother with it above that was meant to be
[23:53] <dutchie> sebsebseb: you don't need chanserv in a channel to look after it
[23:54] <sebsebseb> dutchie: I thought it just keeps it open, if  no one is in the room
[23:55] <sebsebseb> dutchie: ?
[23:55] <dutchie> I'm not sure if the channel being registered is enough for that
[23:55] <humphreybc> yeah it is kept open
[23:55] <humphreybc> if no one is here
[23:55] <sebsebseb> chanserv does something though
[23:55] <humphreybc> but there will always be someone here
[23:56] <sebsebseb> well something could happen to the network in the future, and loads of people can't connect, or something like that, I guess
[23:56] <dutchie> what, a netsplit
[23:56] <dutchie> ?
[23:57] <sebsebseb> well netsplits can kick everyone out of a channel yeah
[23:57] <sebsebseb> and  then people can have issues with re joining as well
[23:57] <sebsebseb> plus computers aren't perfect, things can go wrong
[23:58] <sebsebseb> dutchie: anyway yeah I guess chanserv isn't needed
[23:58] <sebsebseb> to guard this channel
[23:59] <humphreybc> meh i'm sure it'll be fine
