Burgundaviaogra, I see pitti has rejected mediawiki, hmm...05:52
jsgotangcomain inclusion reports?06:41
Burgundaviaindeed06:41
Burgundaviathe old moin/mediawiki stuff06:42
jsgotangcowhere is the url06:42
jsgotangcoi wanna see06:42
Burgundaviahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionQueue06:44
Burgundaviahmm, seems he accepted it06:44
Burgundaviaoh, he got overruled06:45
Burgundaviaby sabdfl probably06:45
jsgotangcowow gcompris came in06:46
Burgundaviapitti has been ripping his hair out over the edubuntu stuff06:46
jsgotangconvu got rejected06:46
Burgundaviacontained some mozilla code06:46
jsgotangcoohh right06:46
jsgotangcoand mozilla got dropped06:46
Burgundaviadidn't want to maintain 2 copies of the same code06:46
Burgundaviano06:46
Burgundaviait acutally contained mozilla code, as opposed to linking to tit06:47
jsgotangcoi thought it was dropped to universe06:47
jsgotangco(mozilla)06:47
Burgundavianope06:47
Burgundaviathat was the plan, but ff lacks some stuff for linking against, apparently06:47
BurgundaviaFF 1.5 is going to be fun06:48
jsgotangcolol at pitti's comment on mediawiki06:48
jsgotangcohe got the smackdown06:49
BurgundaviaI feel sorry for him, but mediawiki is trully better for end users06:49
jsgotangcoyes06:49
jsgotangcounfortunately, mediawiki does poorly on backporting fixes to old version06:49
jsgotangcojust says everyone to upgrade06:50
Burgundaviamediawiki development is a mess06:50
jsgotangcoits an awesome app for a rotten development language though06:50
Burgundaviathe mediawiki developers really don't mind if someone writes them a better app in another langauge I am told06:51
jsgotangcoMoin is good, it just needs a facelift really06:51
Burgundaviaand a better markup language06:52
Burgundaviait is powerful but sucks for basic stuff, like linking06:52
jsgotangcodid you finish the inclusion reports for edubuntu?06:53
Burgundaviaogra did in the end06:53
BurgundaviaI did about a 3rd of them06:53
jsgotangcoi wanted to help just didnt know where to start back then06:54
Burgundaviathey were at the high-end of my skill level06:55
BurgundaviaI left the server ones to ogra06:55

jsgotangcoIt's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft, but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out?and I'd love to have the time to go back. As I've said before, nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime. And even then they should reconsider.11:13

ograisdn is great, i love it... you just cant get sane contracts for it in germany11:20
jsgotangcoits too expensive even in my place that it died a natural death in the mainstream internet use11:20
ograi'd rather bundle 10 isdn lines than buy a DSL line if i had the choice11:20

jsgotangcohmm it seems it downloaded from the network as i have gdm11:32
ograi test installed it several times, the dailys still suffer ubuntu breakage... (and todays suffers my broken DSL, since i couldnt upload my fixes before the build yesterday)11:32
jsgotangcoogra, aug. 18 build is pretty solid11:33

ograthats why its so sad that it dissapeared from the archive... it was a PITA to get it up again :) but at least we have something to test...11:34

DanielCDHCP hates me :-(11:40
DanielCI can't start the DHCP server. It says that my dhcpd.conf is wrong I think.11:41
DanielCBut I don't know anything about dhcpd.conf. I sent a detailed message to the list.11:41
jsgotangcogive me a minute im in a lab i'll see what's wrong11:41
DanielCok, thank you.11:41
=== jsgotangco is installing at the moment
ograhighvoltage, i think i had a idea tonight for a kind of xdmcp to connect to different servers through ldm... lets see if it works as i thought ... (i have no second server to test though)11:42
ograhighvoltage, but it will only work with edubuntu ltsp...11:42

JaneW200 ppl joined our mailing list - but with a few unsubsribes as well, we now have 190 members...12:24
DanielCAnd none of them seem to know how to configure dhcpd.conf  :-(12:24
=== DanielC has been banging his head against the wall for a while.
DanielCifconfig also says that eth1 doesn't have an address or netmask (it should be 192.168.0.1 - static, since that's where the DHCP server is supposed to listen).12:26
DanielCMaybe the problem is in /etc/network/interfaces12:26
DanielCbut I don't know what else to try there.12:26
DanielCDoes anyone know how to use ifconfig to assign an address and netmask to eth1? I've read the man page, but I'm not any closer to a solution than before.12:27
JaneWwhere's ogra?12:29
DanielCno idea...12:29
JaneWDanielC: am I correct that this is not an edubuntu specific question (or is it?)12:29
DanielCI don't know :(12:29
DanielCIt might be.12:29
DanielCIt might be something about the way edubuntu is configured. I would guess that's what it is.12:30
JaneWDanielC: I don;t know much about it, but when I was fidling here at home I had to set up a static connection with default gateway12:31
JaneWDanielC: once it was succesfully conected I cahnged the setting to DHCP and it was fine after that...12:32
DanielCI'm not sure I follow what you just said...12:32
JaneWnot sure why, but it was like it couldn't find the default gateway without being told the first time *shrug*12:32
DanielCI can connect to the internet fine (this is on eth0). My problems are on the other hard (eth1). The one that connects to the thin clients.12:33

DanielCOk. My thin clients can get an IP from the DHCP server, but they won't boot. On the client I see the message "Loading 192.168.0.1:/ltsp/pxelinux.0" and it just hangs there.02:09
DanielC /ltsp/pxelinux.0 doesn't exist.02:10
DanielCBut /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/pxelinux.0 does exist (on the server).02:10
DanielCSo I guess that's the right one. But I don't know where to configure the path for the kernel image to boot from.02:11
DanielCDoes anyone know?02:11
DanielCI tried in dhcpd.conf but that wasn't it.02:12
DanielCDoes anyone know when ogra or jsgotangco is coming back? :-)02:34
