[03:45] <dcrm-libr> is it possible to configure edubuntu in it's current state to run app locally on the workstations (not standalone) like it is described in LTSP documentation? Is that what it is called a Fat Client? Thanks.
[03:51] <magnon> no, a fat client would not include LTSP at all
[04:01] <dcrm-libr> magnon: what I meant was a Thick Client described in http://www.edubuntu.org/WorkstationDefinitions but I guess it is the same thing you said, it would not include LTSP, correct?
[04:02] <magnon> it would be something like an Ubuntu installation with extra edu-software
[04:02] <magnon> later, possibly integration towards a common user database etc.
[04:03] <dcrm-libr> The thing is with that setup the software, kernels etc are all on a server witch makes things easier to update, because everything would be in one place.
[04:03] <ogra> dcrm-libr, thats a target for the next release, this time we concentrate on having a good base for future releases
[04:04] <ogra> traget for this releases is a standalone one classroom ltsp setup out of the bix
[04:04] <ogra> box
[04:04] <dcrm-libr> Ahh ok thanks I can't wait =)
[04:06] <ogra> next release should include centralized user and software management and probably a cluster filesystem... i personally would like to add the ability to cluster ltsp servers, but that will depend on the time i have for the newx release cycle
[04:06] <ogra> s/newx/next/
[04:10] <dcrm-libr> That LTSP setup requires much more memory and cpu from the server box witch can bee expensive. Currently where I work we don't have server that powerful and with as much as 64mb ram and the workstations are more modern but lack ram (only 256mb) so a LTPS server is out of the question I think. A thick client would with one of the workstations as a nfs server would do the trick however, I think. I'll wait for the next release. Thanks.
[04:12] <ogra> you can do a standalone workstation install indeed, its just not the default install...
[04:12] <dcrm-libr> Yes I known :) thanks
[04:13] <ogra> and centralized user management etc needs to be done separate, we have no integrated solution yet
[04:13] <dcrm-libr> workstation at boot prompt from the cd
[04:13] <ogra> yup :)
[04:14] <ogra> you could do a ubuntu install as well and install edubuntu-desktop on top... thats the same :)
[04:14] <dcrm-libr> ok well I'll bee gone now thanks for the enlightenment ;)
[04:14] <ogra> bye :)
[04:14] <dcrm-libr> bye
[08:29] <yvesC> ogra, gcompris 7.0.1 is out. It compiles and work fine on my edubuntu ppc box, without any patch. Can we expect it will be in edubuntu breezy final ?
[08:32] <ogra> yvesC, nope, but we can hope ... upstream version freeze is active since 2 months
[08:38] <yvesC> Actual edubuntu gcompris is really broken. 
[08:44] <ogra> nothing you couldnt fix
[08:53] <yvesC> anyway best fix for a cvs preversion is the next release.  I don't want to spend  my time fixing an old stuff.
[08:54] <ogra> yvesC, you dont need to, thats my job ;)
