Quotes update

I just wanted to make a quick note (nothing urgent at all) that I have updated my random quotes database with about 20 new quotations. I hope you enjoy them, and come back to visit often to see new ones. 🙂

LXDE configuration HOWTO draft completed

After talking with Ben (yngwin), I found that there really wasn’t anyone working on documentation related to LXDE inside of Gentoo. So, I decided that I would write a HOWTO for getting it installed and configured. I finished the document this morning, and uploaded it to my Developer webspace. You may see a working copy of the document there, and if you want to see the xml, you have two options. Firstly, when looking at the finished copy, you append the following to the end of the URL:

?passthru=1

making the full URL:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~nathanzachary/documentation/lxde_1.0.xml?passthru=1

and that will show you the XML. Secondly, you can view Bug 281345, and click on the attachment. Hopefully the documentation team will pick up the guide in the near future, and commit it. The only holdup that I can foresee is that LXDE is still available only through the testing (~arch) branch.

Updates made to the Openbox HOWTO

I have made several changes to the Openbox HOWTO. There were many typographical errors that I didn’t catch the first time around, and package links that weren’t added. Here’s a full list of the updates for version 1.4:

  • In code listing 2.5, changed the $ to # as the operation requires root actions.
  • Added a note to the 2.5 listing about becoming root before the command.
  • In code listing 2.6, fixed the typographical error (7gt; instead of gt;).
  • In code listing 2.6, made the
  • In code listing 2.8, fixed the typographical error (extra > in closing tag).
  • In code listing 2.8, fixed the typographical error (missing closing “).
  • Added a link to the package information for conky before code listing 2.10.
  • Added a link to the package information for feh after code listing 2.10.
  • Added a link to the package information for nitrogen after code listing 2.10.
  • Removed the library dependency bug reference for nitrogen.
  • In terminals section, changed “customized” to “customised” for consistency.
  • In file managers, fixed typographical error for Nautilus (a “bit” heavy).

If you would like to see the new document revisions before it gets committed to the official documentation repository, it is available on my Developer webspace. You may also view the XML for version 1.4 via Gentoo Bug 256693.
