Trying to create a Ubuntu Wiki page

[RobGoss]

Hello everyone, I have been trying to great a Wiki page with out any success, each time I click on create a new page I'm greeted with this message

Message
You are not allowed to edit this page

I am login while trying to create the Wiki page so I don't know why I cannot

Thanks so much for any help

you have to log in with SSO. If you have launchpad account you should be able to create wiki or sign the CoC.

I created mine long ago (before SSO) by just doing-

http://wiki.ubuntu.com/myusernamehere

then log in

I think this is a forum issue we should take up in forums threads.

Regards..

Yes this is the post I was following to find out what was needed

[cariboo]

In order to edit wiki pages, you have to be a member of the Ubuntu Wiki Editors group (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki-editors). This was done to stop spammers from creating wiki pages.

Cariboo, In post 5# I added the screen shot I did sign the COC ,but when viewing on that launchpad website it still looks like it's not signed

[jeremy31]

From the screenshot, it showed you still had to complete step #3 which is sign it

[RobGoss]

I don't know how I miss that I'm trying to figure out how to sign it, it's telling me to add the contents from this file, UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt.asc in to the sign box but I don't see that file on my machine

It also tells me to run this command from the terminal:

gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt

But when I do this is what message I receive



gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt
gpg: can't open `UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt': No such file or directory
gpg: UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt: clearsign failed: file open error


Thanks Jeremy31

[jeremy31]

Do you have a UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt on your computer? You need that file and to sign it using your key. This (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#Signing_Data) might help as it has been a couple years that I signed it

[RobGoss]

Yes I have this file UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt which key are you referring to is the Key type/ID that was emailed to me with about 13 numbers

[jeremy31]

In terminal, navigate to the directory that has the code of conduct file and
gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt
Then Upload the contents of UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt.asc on https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/2.0/+sign

[RobGoss]

In terminal, navigate to the directory that has the code of conduct file and
gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt
Then Upload the contents of UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt.asc on https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/2.0/+sign

When I try running that command see in post #12 the results I'm receiving

I don't see any file with this EXT txt.asc

[deadflowr]

Are you in the right Directory?

[RobGoss]

Not really sure Deadflowr this is the only file I downloaded and it's in this directory

/home/robert/Downloads/UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt

[jeremy31]

This should work
cd /home/robert/Downloads

gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt

[RobGoss]

This should work
cd /home/robert/Downloads

gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt

Will running both these commands from the terminal sign the Codeofconduct?

Sorry but it feels like I'm jumping threw hoops :)

[jeremy31]

I said it should as the normal default directory when opening terminal is home and you need to be in Downloads if that is where the file is

EDIT: I see you got it done

How did you know Jeremy? LOL thanks to you guys and your patience much appreciated as always

After running the codes you provided it generated that txt.asc file I needed, I was able to submit the contents into the COC page with success

Thanks so much now I can try creating the Wiki page when and if I'm excepted in the group

[jeremy31]

I checked your launchpad page and saw that it said you have signed the Code of Conduct. I am glad it didn't require more than what it did as I wouldn't have been any help as I signed on April 2, 2015

[RobGoss]

You were a big help my friend thanks so much Now I wanted to create my Wiki page but I waiting because I submitted a request to join the group

See post #7 that Cariboo posted it will explain it

[jeremy31]

Did you include a link to your forum profile on your launchpad page? It might speed up the process

[RobGoss]

Not sure what my forum URL link would be would this be correct https://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1971247

[jeremy31]

That would be correct

[RobGoss]

Ok I see how I can add it thanks so much Jeremy

[jeremy31]

Not a problem Rob, you might want to change your profile so that the beans(forum posts) are visible

[RobGoss]

Will do Jeremy thanks again have a great evening

With the change in spam policy about creating wiki pages you have to be an Ubuntu Member to become a member of the wiki group, so if you need help creating a wiki page first you wiull need to contact a staff member by pm that can help you with creating one.

[RobGoss]

Thank you Wildmanne39 for the information much appreciated I will try contacting someone

[wildmanne39]

[RobGoss]
