mpt_ogra: Let me know when would be a good time to do the tweaks to the gnome-screensaver unlock dialog (sometime between 10 and 14 hours from now, or between 19 and 22 hours from now, would be ideal)03:55
mpt_otherwise I could just put a mockup on the wiki03:55
ograor mail it :)03:57
mpt_ok :-)04:05
ograi must admit that i havent even looked into the code yet, we dropped gnome-screensaver more than a month ago04:10

highvoltageogra: i did the rsync, but my md5sum doesn't match the one on the website, is it because my file is called "breezy", and the new one is called edubuntu?07:44
shagagood morning all07:45
highvoltagemorning shaga 07:45
shagaare there still any good enough flash/java-plugins for amd64 platforum? can you tell straight out?07:48
highvoltagei don't know.07:49
shagaokay, I'll find out about it myself once I'm through here in work07:54
highvoltageokay, it's probably supposed to match these md5sums, but it doesn't either: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/cdimage/edubuntu/daily/current/MD5SUMS08:02
=== highvoltage rsyncs again
Burgundaviashaga, for amd64, there is no Macromedia flash plugin. There are 2 free versions, GPLflash and swfdec (LGPL). Neither work well enough to be replacements for flash08:16
Burgundaviashaga, as for java, the free java stuff has not produced a web plugin due to not yet having done the security stuff08:16
shagaokay, thanks very much.. so I'll stick with the x86-version for now still..08:17
shagathis is not about linux at all(still I'm trying to do this in linux, but it's not the point), but you might know about this. is it possible to go 'back' with firefox without refreshing the page? opera can do that but I just don't support it. ff is quite evil as it does the refresh and jumps on the top of the list you were browsing for example..08:20
shagaI'm trying to google about as I speak08:21
Burgundaviashaga, currently not implemented08:21
BurgundaviaFF 1.5 will do that08:21
shagaas I thought08:21

shagacould you briefly tell me whats LTSP? should I use "workstation" on a CD boot prompt for my own computer which I use just for fun and have a direct connection to web through dhcp..09:45
Burgundaviashaga, ltsp allows thin clients to connect to a central server. The thin clients don't do any of the heavy lifting09:50
shagaoh, that means I should use "workstation" on a prompt for my use09:51

ogracurrently i have some other (packaging) bugs to solve with moodle first...01:45
jintyas far as one of the moodle developers told me, moodle can authenticate off a web pace01:45
ograah...01:45
jintys/pace/page01:45
ograthe problem is, that i want to leave it up to the user to make the moodle configuration, i only create a blank database and moodle has a 3 step webinterface to create the structure in there01:46
jintybasically post a form and grep the return HTML (ugh!)01:46
jintyok no worries, just passing info along which might be usefull01:46
ograi'll investigate if i can set defaults for that interface that point to the schooltool auth01:46
ograjinty, i'll come back to you about that, be sure :)01:47
ograjust let me fix the essential bugs first :)01:47

JaneWAt an Edubuntu Summit in July in Australia, educators from every continent came together. Reports from the summit indicate that Edubuntu will soon be found in hundreds of schools across Europe from Sweden to Spain -- in the state of Andalusia the government has chosen Ubuntu Linux for its schools, libraries and all public facilities. In Brazil, Elkner says, more than a million pupils will be using Edubuntu.03:03

mptogra: Is uninstalling xscreensaver the easiest way of using gnome-screensaver?05:31
ogrampt, sorry, the package has an error... just testbuilding the fixed version05:32
ograbut you should uninstall xscreensaver anyway... and install gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver-data05:32
mptok, ta05:34

gandI've read edubuntu program list with  "Istanbul" (screen session recorder) listed. May I suggest instead "xvidcap" that have also audio recording?05:55
ogragand, we have neither in this release and istanbul will have audion in our next one :)05:55
gandI mean that xvidcap record video and audio in the same time, so you can create a screen tutorial with audio in it05:57
ogragand, you will be able to do that with istanbul too, but without using the commandline05:58
gandWill istanbul have a GUI and audio recording too? (gvidcap has a GUI too) Sorry I'm not update on istanbul.06:00
gandBy the moment Istambul has no audio, will it have audio on next release? I'm looking desperately a screen recorder tool06:02
ograistanbul just adds a red button to your notification area, you click it once, it becomes a play button and records your session, you click a second time and the movie appears on your desktop. the author is working on audion recording, it will be ready for dapper (our next release) i think06:02
ogragand, gvidcap and xvidcap are in universe you can always install them06:03
gandnice thank, http://www.freesmug.org/idojo/06:03
gandyes but I'm on PPC 06:03

jintythe issue is that the schoolbell setup.py does not install the tests/ftests sub-modules by default06:14
