| JaneW | jsgotangco: sheesh! | 10:22 |
| JaneW | jsgotangco: is it new or second hand? | 10:22 |
| jsgotangco | its new | 10:22 |
| JaneW | jsgotangco: cos surely you don't pay VAT on something that's already paid for? | 10:22 |
| jsgotangco | JaneW, i know | 10:23 |
| JaneW | jsgotangco: you may be able to claim it back.... contact cvd | 10:23 |
| jsgotangco | but its customs *shrug* | 10:23 |
| jsgotangco | JaneW, yeah, she gave me a form | 10:23 |
| JaneW | jsgotangco: are you part of the laptop testing team? or are you just special? ;) | 10:23 |

| jsgotangco | it failed miserably *groan* | 11:18 |
| jsgotangco | im sure i had a good burn | 11:19 |
| ogra_ | stage1 (before reboot) of the installer should be fine | 11:19 |
| jsgotangco | let me try it again | 11:20 |
| ogra_ | at which speed did you burn it ? | 11:20 |
| jsgotangco | 22x | 11:20 |
| jsgotangco | i always burn on this laptop without any problems | 11:20 |
| ogra_ | heh, never use more then 8x for bootables | 11:20 |
| jsgotangco | i'll try to burn it again much slower | 11:21 |
| ogra_ | the data is packed very tight... | 11:21 |
| JaneW | interesting | 11:23 |
| ogra_ | yes... mostly people dont belive you if you tell them :) until they see it working with a slower burn from the same iso | 11:26 |
| jsgotangco | did you trigger a new build now? | 11:26 |
| ogra_ | no use for that... i'm waiting for a colony before i want to make sure our base works | 11:27 |
| jsgotangco | ok i'm burning a new one from my recent download | 11:27 |
| ogra_ | colony 3 didnt happen as wanted yesterday... we had a bad Xorg bug (again *sigh) | 11:27 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 11:28 |
| ogra_ | http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13532 | 11:28 |
| ogra_ | but at 3am we had solved it... i dont know why mdz hasnt started a new one... | 11:28 |
| ogra_ | (UTC 1am) | 11:29 |
| jsgotangco | hmm 0 size | 11:29 |
| ogra_ | yep... | 11:29 |
| ogra_ | the automatic keyboard selection failed.... | 11:30 |
| ogra_ | dpkg-reconfigure works fine though | 11:30 |
| jsgotangco | poor daniels X really is pissing him for months | 11:30 |
| JaneW | ogra_: what happened with Colony 3 yesterday? I am afraid to ask | 11:30 |
| jsgotangco | Xorg | 11:31 |
| JaneW | sorry just read above | 11:31 |
| JaneW | dang | 11:31 |
| ogra_ | yep :( | 11:31 |
| JaneW | spoke to jbailey yesterday about a volume bug | 11:31 |
| JaneW | but I think he said it wasn't too hard to fix | 11:31 |
| jsgotangco | buggy badger | 11:32 |
| JaneW | jsgotangco: lol | 11:32 |
| ogra_ | such bugs are trivial (at least for a colony) but bugs that break the install are blockers | 11:32 |
| JaneW | buggery? | 11:32 |
| ogra_ | Xorg is a heavyweight.... i'm really looking forward to breezy+1 this development cycle was no fun at all compared to hoary | 11:33 |
| jsgotangco | indeed | 11:33 |
| JaneW | ogra_: I am kind of glad to hear that - I thought it was just me who thought the fun had evaporated | 11:33 |
| JaneW | this one is a slog! | 11:33 |
| JaneW | imagine 6.04 - 5 year stable! | 11:34 |
| JaneW | loads of pressure | 11:34 |
| jsgotangco | pitti will be pleased | 11:34 |
| jsgotangco | :) | 11:34 |
| ogra_ | JaneW, but a lot more time for testing and development if you have a base to build on.... having no Xorg and constantly loosing librarys you need wont happen for 6.04 | 11:35 |
| JaneW | true | 11:35 |
| JaneW | (I hope) | 11:35 |
| ogra_ | but it was necessary... we have the most beautiful X in the world now... and are ahead of all the others :) | 11:36 |
| jsgotangco | the X borkage during hoary devel was fun.. X in breezy is no fun at all | 11:38 |
| jsgotangco | now people end up with awful hacks | 11:39 |
| ogra_ | yep | 11:39 |
| === JaneW still has not seen evidence of any of this.... | ||
| === JaneW should try d/ling and installing... | ||
| ogra_ | yes, try it... | 11:40 |
| ogra_ | keep the iso around, then you can only rsync the binary changes to it... takes only some minutes, instead of downloading a new iso every time | 11:41 |
| JaneW | friday - my 3G ADSL cap won;t be happy ;) | 11:41 |
| jsgotangco | you still have bandwidth caps over there? | 11:42 |
| JaneW | yes | 11:42 |
| jsgotangco | wow | 11:42 |
| JaneW | for INTL traffic anyway | 11:42 |
| jsgotangco | hmm now on stage 2 | 11:43 |
| JaneW | our telco is screwed | 11:43 |
| JaneW | we still pay a fortune on local calls | 11:43 |

| jsgotangco | lol | 11:44 |
| JaneW | he said, ' er it;s not like I had a choice!' | 11:44 |
| ogra_ | hehe | 11:44 |
| jsgotangco | im not surprised if the call centre staff was from here or from india | 11:44 |
| JaneW | there's a whole hate sight against them http://www.hellkom.co.za/ | 11:46 |
| JaneW | jsgotangco: actually there was some shady deal with a malaysian telly co | 11:46 |
| jsgotangco | ouch malaysian telco - monopoly as well | 11:47 |
| jsgotangco | ogra_, does 0817 build install nicely on you? i got frozen at 85% stage 2 | 12:10 |
| ogra_ | gah, tat should have been solved 2 days ago.... | 12:12 |
| ogra_ | is it stuck at a language pack ? | 12:12 |
| jsgotangco | it must be...im not sure i went downstairs for a bite | 12:12 |
| jsgotangco | i dont know what is being installed | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | could you look at console 4 ? | 12:13 |
| jsgotangco | everything is frozen | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | if there is a yes/no question about authentication, you are hit by #13496 | 12:13 |

| ogra | dont edit sudoers | 03:41 |

| ogra | (or at least there shouldnt be one) | 03:41 |

| Petaris | oh, was that the one that wanted to install gnome too? | 03:47 |
| ogra | gnome-system-tools | 03:47 |
| ogra | it wont install gnome, only the gnome libs | 03:48 |
| ogra | but its something you should have.... | 03:48 |
| Petaris | ok | 03:50 |
| Petaris | I figured out the problem though | 03:50 |
| Petaris | It wasn't that I wasn't a memeber of the admin group | 03:51 |
| ogra | if you really have to edit sudoers once (which should never be the case) use visudo and nothig else... | 03:51 |
| Petaris | I had just forgotten to setup /etc/hosts lol | 03:51 |
| Petaris | why? | 03:51 |
| ogra | because it checks the syntax and cares for stuff... | 03:52 |
| Petaris | what syntax? | 03:56 |
| Petaris | you just add the username | 03:56 |

| ogra | Petaris, just dont do it... the big warning at the top of the file is there for a reason | 03:59 |
| Petaris | there is no warning, its an empty file | 03:59 |
| Petaris | or at least it was on my install | 03:59 |
| ogra | then your install is broken | 04:00 |
| ogra | # sudoers file. | 04:00 |

| ogra | thats what should be written there | 04:00 |
| Petaris | hrm | 04:00 |
| Petaris | thats odd | 04:00 |
| ogra | yup | 04:00 |
| ogra | i wonder what else is broken for you then | 04:01 |
| Petaris | unless its something that gets setup after the language pack | 04:01 |
| Petaris | which haulted | 04:01 |
| Petaris | I've done all setup manually after that | 04:01 |
| Petaris | coming from gentoo, most of that setup is fairly simple :) | 04:01 |
| ogra | the end target is that you dont have to configure it at all... | 04:03 |
| ogra | which works quite well here for todays daily, except on esmall glitch with X autodetection | 04:03 |
| Petaris | ahh, so it is an install for non-guru users | 04:03 |
| ogra | but thats already solved and will be ready tomorrow | 04:03 |
| ogra | its a ubuntu install.... | 04:04 |
| ogra | which is aimed at gurus as weel as to non gurus | 04:04 |
| Petaris | ok | 04:06 |
| Petaris | Well I'm still working on configuring icewm to my specs | 04:06 |
| ogra | the default will work for everyone... gurus will tweak it :) | 04:06 |
| Petaris | I am using idesk for icons on the desktop | 04:07 |
| ogra | but having a installation ready within 1h and without much interaction out of the box is the main target we have | 04:07 |
| Petaris | right | 04:07 |
| Petaris | I personally can't stand icons but users like them :/ | 04:08 |
| === Petaris looks at his enlightenment desktop, not an icon in site | ||
| ogra | <--- gnome guy | 04:08 |
| Petaris | I used to like kde | 04:09 |
| Petaris | but it was too bloated and I always had issues with kserver | 04:09 |
| ogra | i havent touched KDE since 1.4 | 04:10 |
| Petaris | last I used was 3.2 | 04:10 |
| Petaris | I like enlightenment musch better | 04:11 |
| ogra | i dont like it | 04:11 |
| Petaris | I always had problems with sound in kde too, as I used xmms directly with the alsa driver and not through the ksound deamon | 04:12 |
| ogra | i wonder why everybody still uses such old cruft like xmms there are so many newer and better integrated audio players out there... | 04:13 |
| ogra | i like rhythmbox and muine... | 04:13 |
| Petaris | xmms is far nicer than most of the newer ones | 04:14 |
| ogra | hmm, arguable... | 04:14 |
| Petaris | its simple, themeable, uses less resources, and stable | 04:14 |
| ogra | and doesnt integrate anywhere... | 04:14 |
| ogra | i like it if my player goes out of the way and puts itself into the systemtray to not disturb me | 04:15 |
| Petaris | lots of ways to do that with xmms | 04:15 |
| Petaris | look at all the aplets for gnome/kde etc for controlling xmms | 04:16 |
| Petaris | not to mention you can use it in the console | 04:16 |
| Petaris | remote control it from anywhere | 04:16 |
| ogra | sure, after ages of configuring... i dont like to configure my desktop at all... and rather spend my time in development | 04:16 |
| Petaris | it takes only a few minutes | 04:16 |
| ogra | thats the reason why i work on ubuntu and not on gentoo ;) | 04:17 |
| Petaris | but you must understand I am very minimal on the desktop | 04:17 |
| ogra | sure... but i dont even like to think about it... i want to click on my ogg file and it should just play for me | 04:17 |
| Petaris | real graphicy looking things make me gag | 04:17 |

| ogra | for streaming i prefer fulendo | 04:19 |
| ogra | fluendo even | 04:19 |
| Petaris | never heard of it | 04:20 |
| Petaris | I use xmms for streaming | 04:20 |
| Petaris | or mplayer | 04:20 |
| Petaris | console mplayer of course as the gui for it is ugly | 04:21 |
| ogra | fluendo is a streaming server working tightly with totem | 04:21 |
| Petaris | I can't stand totem | 04:21 |
| ogra | its the best player out there imho | 04:21 |
| Petaris | tried to get along with it but it kept crashing | 04:21 |
| ogra | especially the mozilla plugin is neat | 04:22 |

| ogra | neither for me on amd64 | 04:23 |
| Petaris | grr | 04:23 |
| ogra | totem works fine though | 04:23 |
| Petaris | ogra: are you running the x86_64 branch? | 04:23 |
| ogra | sure | 04:23 |
| Petaris | ahh | 04:23 |
| Petaris | I tried that early on but it was very buggy | 04:23 |
| ogra | only if i test ltsp it runs in i386 mode | 04:23 |
| ogra | its as stable as every other ubuntu | 04:24 |
| Petaris | right, emulation mode | 04:24 |
| Petaris | it wasn't back when I tried it | 04:24 |
| Petaris | but it was before release | 04:24 |
| ogra | the only missing bit for me is flash... but i'm not really after it | 04:25 |
| Petaris | really? | 04:26 |
| Petaris | flash I didn't have any problemsw with | 04:26 |
| Petaris | problems even | 04:26 |
| ogra | there is no 64bit version of flash | 04:27 |
| ogra | so it doesnt run on amd64 | 04:27 |
| Petaris | did you try compiling openflash? | 04:27 |
| Petaris | :) | 04:27 |
| ogra | its buggy as hell... | 04:27 |
| Petaris | or gplflash or whatever | 04:27 |
| ogra | yup, tried them all | 04:28 |
| Petaris | hrm | 04:28 |
| Petaris | I had not trouble with it | 04:28 |
| Petaris | worked great | 04:28 |
| Petaris | but I blew that system away so I couldn't tell you how I did it | 04:28 |

| ogra | for things newer then flash4 ? | 04:29 |
| Petaris | oh wait, I know | 04:29 |
| Petaris | I installed a 32-bit version of ff | 04:29 |
| Petaris | using the 32-bit emulation | 04:29 |
| Petaris | thats how I did it | 04:29 |
| ogra | sure that works... but i dont want to run 32bit... | 04:30 |
| Petaris | you noticed a small slowdown but not too bad | 04:30 |
| ogra | thats why i have a 64bit machine | 04:30 |
| Petaris | I'm not going back to x86_64 until the apps I need can be compiled for it | 04:31 |
| ogra | which apps ? | 04:31 |
| Petaris | some multimedia apps I needed | 04:31 |
| Petaris | and a few plugins for ff | 04:32 |
| Petaris | and the was something else that wasn't working but I can't remember what it was | 04:32 |
| Petaris | actually, I'm quite surprised how slowly some projects are branching to x86_64 | 04:33 |
| Petaris | ogra: Where is that user-admin-tool? | 04:36 |
| Petaris | I can't find it in apt | 04:36 |
| ogra | gnome-system-tools | 04:37 |
| Petaris | oh, thats the package name | 04:37 |
| Petaris | ok | 04:37 |
| Petaris | hrmm | 04:42 |
| Petaris | users-admin just sits there for me | 04:42 |
| ogra | ran it with sudo ? | 04:43 |
| ogra | it needs admin rights | 04:43 |
| Petaris | It came up with the enter root password dialog | 04:44 |
| Petaris | ahh, sudo worked | 04:44 |
| ogra | enter root password ? rather enter *your* password... its sudo based | 04:44 |
| ogra | it should say that in the dialog... | 04:45 |

| Petaris | er, wen | 04:49 |
| Petaris | I can't type today | 04:49 |
| Petaris | ogra: I added another user but the client won't let them login, it just restarts ldm | 04:50 |
| Petaris | what group do they need to be added to? | 04:50 |
| Petaris | there is no ltsp group | 04:50 |
| ogra | it should work out of the box (it does here) | 04:51 |
| ogra | can you ssh user@localhost with this user ? | 04:51 |
| ogra | (on the server_) | 04:51 |
| wen | i am wondering here everybody is teacher? | 04:52 |
| ogra | heh, nope | 04:53 |
| Petaris | by user at localhost you mean that users name right? | 04:53 |
| ogra | yep | 04:53 |
| Petaris | ok | 04:53 |
| Petaris | just a min | 04:53 |
| ogra | can the user ssh to the server.... | 04:53 |
| Petaris | right | 04:54 |
| wen | how will skolelinux be after edubuntu realesed? | 04:55 |
| Petaris | ogra: no I can't | 04:55 |
| ogra | aha | 04:56 |
| Petaris | I'm going to try changing the password | 04:56 |
| ogra | wen, that'd be a question pere can answer | 04:56 |
| ogra | i dont know the release plans for skole | 04:56 |
| Petaris | that didn't work | 04:57 |
| ogra | edubuntu will release around Oct 10th (+/- 5days) | 04:57 |
| Petaris | ogra: any ideas? | 04:59 |
| Petaris | my one user can login | 04:59 |
| ogra | not really... i dont know what eles isnt working on your tweaked system... | 04:59 |
| ogra | it works fine here in a standard edubuntu setup... | 05:00 |
| Petaris | hrm | 05:00 |
| Petaris | I will try a few things | 05:00 |
| ogra | its very likely that your system didnt get configured through the installaer breakage.... try running base-config again | 05:01 |
| ogra | (with sudo) | 05:01 |
| wen | edubuntu will focus on server or desktop? | 05:01 |
| ogra | it will be a ltsp standalone setup for one classroom.... (which contains server *and* desktop) | 05:02 |
| Petaris | ogra: its working now | 05:02 |
| ogra | additionally you'll have an option to not install the server part, so you have a standalone workstation | 05:02 |
| Petaris | I feel stupid though | 05:02 |
| ogra | what was it ? | 05:02 |
| Petaris | I didn't hit ok after making the user | 05:03 |
| ogra | heh | 05:03 |
| Petaris | I thought it had already made it when it added it to the list | 05:03 |
| pere | Petaris: skolelinux will still be well ahead of edubuntu when the first release of edubuntu is released. The out of the box service configuration is state of the art, and it will take some time before edubuntu is close to catching up. :) | 05:04 |
| ogra | ha ha ha | 05:05 |
| pere | Petaris: we are working on a sarge-based release, but I do not know how far of it will be in october. | 05:05 |
| === Random_Sindrom [n=eugoias@dial-148-240-42-200.zone-1.dial.net.mx] has left #edubuntu ["Abandonando"] | ||
| ogra | pere, we currently only have 3 things you have to adjust.... i'm not even sure if i'll make a edubuntu-config package, since its not necessary | 05:06 |
| pere | Petaris: we are also cooperating with edubuntu, and try to help this project understand and find solutions to the problems we have discovered and solved, as well as stealing like ravens all the good solutions created by edubuntu. :) | 05:07 |
| ogra | pere, keep in mind i only have to care for a single machine here | 05:07 |
| ogra | :) | 05:07 |
| pere | ogra: yes, edubuntu is picking the low-hanging fruits for the first release. You will be have to work harder to pick at the next level. :) | 05:08 |
| ogra | wen, if you want to set up a whole school skole is definately the way to go... for a single classrom like k12ltsp offers it edubuntu will be worth atry | 05:08 |
| ogra | pere, yes, i'm really looking forward to that one... i guess you can teach me a lot there ;) | 05:09 |
| pere | ogra: yes. for small installations, or as "plugins" in a skolelinux network, I expect edubuntu to work just fine. | 05:09 |
| pere | in kongsvinger, they installed skolelinux servers and fedore clients. | 05:09 |
| ogra | i think we'll have a good CD tomorrow for a first impression.... | 05:10 |
| === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.25.192.240] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | eek... why didnt they take debian or ubuntu, i imagine the maintenance will be easier... | 05:10 |
| pere | the admin was a fedora man, "certified redhat engineer", and wanted to stay on familiar turf, while at the same time recognizing a good server config when he saw one. :) | 05:11 |
| ogra | pere, do you guys use wwwconfig-common in your packages ? it got rejected in ubuntu, so i'll have to replace it in moodle... | 05:11 |
| pere | no, we do not use wwwconfig-common as far as I know. | 05:12 |
| ogra | hmm... ok | 05:12 |
| ogra | so letting the change on moodle flow back to debian would make sense for both of us... | 05:12 |
| ogra | nice :) | 05:12 |
| pere | yeah. though I am not up to date with moodle, so I do not know what kind of configuration is needed. | 05:13 |
| ogra | it uses wwwconfig-common only to add the DB user and create the DB | 05:14 |
| pere | right. isn't there some SQL database config tool around for mysql and postgresql? | 05:15 |
| ogra | isnt that what wwwconfig-common is aimed for ? | 05:16 |
| ogra | the idea of this tool is good, just the implementation is crappy | 05:16 |
| pere | I believe I saw some database-common or -config, or something like that. do not remember the details. | 05:17 |
| === pere haven't paid attention to that stuff for a long time | ||
| Petaris | pere: does skolelinux have an ltsp install? | 05:23 |
| pere | Petaris: working on it as we speak. Initial test version available and uploaded yesterday. join #ltsp if you want to test. :) | 05:24 |
| ogra | pere, bsed on mdz's ? | 05:25 |
| ogra | based even | 05:25 |
| Petaris | pere: and does your ltsp branch have a lite-desktop choice | 05:25 |
| pere | Petaris: what is that? | 05:26 |
| ogra | pere, icewm or xfce4 | 05:26 |
| pere | Petaris: did you check out lessdisks, btw? it is similar to ltsp, but more features. | 05:26 |
| Petaris | pere: I don't want to suck up resources using gnome or kde | 05:26 |
| Petaris | no | 05:27 |
| Petaris | haven't heard of it | 05:27 |
| pere | ah, desktop choice is unrelated to ltsp. that is on the thin client server. the thin client just connect to the server and use whatever is on the server. | 05:27 |
| === Petaris wonders where to put his modifications to the default icewm template | ||
| Petaris | and how to lock it down | 05:32 |
| ogra | isnt there a ~/.icewm ? | 05:35 |
| Petaris | yep | 05:35 |
| ogra | put it there ;) | 05:36 |
| Petaris | but I wan't to edit the default template | 05:36 |
| Petaris | so when a user first logs on they get my modifications | 05:36 |
| ogra | i guess the default template is in 7etc/skel/.icewm | 05:36 |
| Petaris | I'll look there | 05:36 |
| ogra | s/7/\/ | 05:36 |
| Petaris | don't you mean s/7///? | 05:37 |
| Petaris | ;p | 05:37 |
| ogra | nope | 05:37 |
| Petaris | but then you would have \etc/skel/.icewm | 05:38 |
| Petaris | and not /etc/skel/.icewm | 05:38 |
| ogra | that'd be s/7/\\ | 05:38 |
| ogra | tyr it :) | 05:38 |
| ogra | try even | 05:38 |
| Petaris | How can I have folders and links and such automatically created on first login | 06:06 |
| Petaris | where would I put that info | 06:06 |
| Petaris | like the link to the shared storage space | 06:06 |
| Petaris | and a folder for trash | 06:06 |

| Petaris | bugger | 06:41 |
| ogra | not yet... ldm is some weeks old ... | 06:43 |
| Petaris | ogra: why didn't you just use xdm or something as a base? | 06:44 |
| Petaris | just curious | 06:44 |
| ogra | aks mdz, its his tool... i just hacked up the design... | 06:44 |
| Petaris | ahh | 06:44 |
| ogra | i know he put a Suggests: in the package for sdm | 06:44 |
| ogra | but i think thats rather for the X export version we dont use in edubuntu | 06:45 |
| Petaris | ahh | 06:47 |
| ogra | the way its now is more secure... encryption all over the place... doing that with a X based display manager would require some very intrusive changes | 06:48 |

| ogra | tuxtype/math/paint are in | 08:09 |
