[01:11] second i check [01:11] little bit complicate :) [01:12] hehe, the h264 works but every 2-3seconds something blink at the top [01:12] nice to know, are you on x86? [01:13] animation don't work? [01:13] yes x86 [01:13] My edubuntu is on PPC so the only free screenreconrder (Xvidcap and istanbul) dont' work [01:13] it works, but during playing something blinks at the top of the screen [01:14] i mean at the top side of video [01:14] you mean "animation" have the same problem of H264?

[12:16] shaga: we have that for 5.10 [12:16] but removed the crack [12:16] oh [12:16] shaga, because ubuntuguideis a mess... [12:17] shaga: we made an faq but made sure its not as crackful as ubuntuguide.org itself [12:17] sounds great, what about adding opera to sources now that is free? [12:17] define free [12:18] it can be added into multiverse why not [12:18] it's not open source, but least it doesn't have advertises and it doesn't pay anything.. [12:19] multiverse sounds more reasonable [12:19] opera isn't difficult to install really [12:19] for it [12:19] it's not, but it's very common browser for older machines so that's why I thought it.. [12:19] stating firefox takes about 15seconds on this computer and for opera, the time is only under one second [12:20] s/stating/starting [12:20] jsgotangco, does it have a free distribution license for third partys (re: multiverse) ? [12:20] ogra: probably, PC-BSD has a PBI for it [12:20] i dont think youre allowed to redistribute it without explicit permission [12:20] im actually on bsd at the moment and using it [12:21] http://www.pbidir.com/packages.php?code=59 [12:21] so yeah i guess 3rd parties can redistribute it === yvesC [n=yves@81.56.207.189] has joined #edubuntu [12:22] License: Commercial [12:22] *shug* [12:22] we probably should just ask them :) [12:23] :) [12:23] yeah [12:23] the whole opera thing became free because of google funding [12:23] Opera wouldn't be very appropriate for Ubuntu and at least not Edubuntu [12:23] free as in no pay [12:23] it shows advertising [12:23] magnon, in multiverse [12:23] it doesnt [12:23] since when? [12:23] magnon: it doesn't anymore [12:23] they freed it [12:23] it used to [12:23] ah well [12:24] since the latest release [12:24] that's the day I started using it everywhere [12:24] magnon: similar to the deal with themozilla foundation on firefox [12:24] I never liked Opera that much anyway [12:25] but some people do... and we want to do everything that the user doesnt need to edit his sources.list :) [12:25] I like how opera has "real back" function [12:25] so getting it into multiverse is a goodplan [12:26] it doesn't reload the page and goes right into same spot, loads the page from the cache [12:26] and it's faster(lightweight), those are my main reasons.. [12:27] i actually like it [12:27] ogra: sure, I thought it still had advertising [12:28] but to me it's just another browser that does things a little bit incorrect in another way that firefox does things a little bit incorrect [12:28] i know some devels actually use it [12:29] jsgotangco: thanks for your hard work on the docs. === JaneW goes to look [12:29] the only thing i dont like about it since the ads are gone it that it uses QT ;) === JaneW is bit distracted - lots going on here (Office Idols etc) [12:29] JaneW: look where? we just uploaded it [12:29] jsgotangco: not linked in Edubuntu Docs? [12:29] not yet [12:29] ogra: are you going to include ubuntu-docs in the package? [12:30] depends on the size... [12:30] proably a meg [12:30] powerpc is at 704 MB... [12:30] ouch it overflowed [12:30] i'm not sure when it explodes [12:30] jsgotangco: oic === JaneW will wait then [12:30] not yet [12:30] 800 MB cds rocks :) [12:30] JaneW: give me a day or two [12:31] About Edubuntu is already done [12:31] but its near the edge and i havent looked what i can drop additionally from ppc [12:31] jsgotangco: oh alright ;) [12:31] we've tested the package today [12:31] fixing the entities are a pain so we're fixing our svn as well [12:31] i probably wont be able to do anything edubuntu related this week anyway... my highest proi task is still xss [12:31] so take your time [12:32] ogra: sure take your time [12:32] heh [12:32] i can have JaneW test the package tommorow [12:32] heh [12:37] ok [12:38] it's a bit chaotic here, because Mark is here, and as a local celeb things are a bit manic [12:38] lol [12:39] hey, isnt it his own office ? [12:39] employees should be used to their boss *g* [12:39] heh [12:39] how influential is mark to the overall SA scene? [12:39] VERY? [12:39] sure :) [12:46] jsgotangco: yes very [12:47] jsgotangco: he couldn't walk down the street without being stopped [12:47] wow [12:47] :) [12:47] ogra: it;s not the employees that are the problem is the other people, and all the hype that is here [12:47] so whos he then? [12:47] so he has bodyguards when in SA? [12:47] jsgotangco: I don;t think so, I think he just keeps a low profile [12:47] JaneW: that's nice to know [12:48] but his face is very familar nowadays so... [12:48] jsgotangco: I would say that the list of well known SA celebs includes Madiba, Charlize and Mark... [12:49] mmm charlize [12:50] ogra: I asked about CDs [12:50] adn ? [12:50] and [12:50] any luck? [12:50] ogra: new answer is we can make a few hundred, and we have to arrange it ourselves [12:50] arrange what? [12:50] ogra: still don;t know what to do about packaging... [12:50] ok... lets do it post release then [12:51] yeah [12:51] ogra: yes, let's get through the release and then try to make a plan [12:51] at least it is something [12:51] a simple paper hardcover should be enough... [12:51] like kubuntu has them [12:51] who did that? amu? [12:51] or riddel [12:53] masochists gui=kde :D [12:53] shaga: shhhh [12:53] ;) [12:53] i remember ogra giving me dagger looks during udu because i was using kde [12:53] hehe [12:53] ;) [12:54] hehe [12:54] not for nothing tho, heh [12:58] ogra: I haven't actually seen a Kubuntu CD [12:58] its a blue disc with the 3 dragons [12:58] jsgotangco: is there an image somewhere? [12:58] hmmmm [12:59] dragons, wow! [01:01] they shouldn't be cute tho [01:03] let me find that [01:03] hmmm [01:04] i couldn't find it [01:04] i'll just brb later and have dinner first === ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089F7C2.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu === Zaheer [n=zahedoll@wbs-146-150-242.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [01:57] hello :) [01:57] what version of ubuntu is edubuntu based on? [01:57] well the preview at least === spacey [n=spacey@flits101-191.flits.rug.nl] has joined #edubuntu [01:59] on the preview indeed :) [02:00] sorry i see now its 5.10 [02:00] my bad [02:00] thats breezy right? [02:00] yap [02:01] Zaheer, a daily edubuntu is always identical with a breezy daily... (modulo the edubuntu addons) [02:02] cool cause i wanted to DL breezy... would be abit silly if i already have edubuntu :D [02:03] yup [02:04] to install breezy from the CD, do a "server" install and just put ubuntu-desktop on top ;) [02:04] is there anything specific that i can help with? [02:04] testing,testing, testing... [02:04] find the evil bugs ;) [02:05] :D i found one y/day with the terminal server client. [02:07] one thats not known yet ? [02:07] dunno... where do i check? [02:07] bugzilla, look for ltsp [02:08] you could also describe it, i know all known ltsp bugs ;) [02:11] ok firstly i installed edubuntu as a workstation,i can terminal serve to windows pc but when i close it down with the little "x" i get an error message. [02:11] give me 5 secs to get the extact message for. [02:11] the workstation version has no ltsp functions at all [02:12] its not ltsp it the actuall terminal server client that comes with edubuntu. [02:12] err, what else ? [02:13] ok the message : "NOT IMPLEMENTED : System pointer message 0xf00" [02:13] mouse related i think [02:13] no idea what you are using there ? [02:14] what is that what you use as client ? [02:15] i get to the application by clicking on the following menus Applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client [02:15] ahhhh [02:16] :) [02:16] ok, that has nothing to do with edubuntu [02:16] oh ok. [02:16] file a bug in bugzilla agains tsclient so we can get it fixed in ubuntu ;) [02:20] okie dokie :D [02:27] whats the address to post bugs?

[03:06] this is jelkner writing as one of my students [03:07] anybody here? [03:07] JaneW: hi Jane, are you here? [03:07] wmaulik: hello, yes [03:07] wmaulik: hi Jeff [03:07] wmaulik, soryy, give me a minute... i'm afk for a moment [03:08] here is the situation with which i need help [03:09] we have encountered a bug in edubuntu [03:09] and we wanted to report it [03:10] Writesh, the student i am loggin in as, volunteered to report the bug himself [03:10] which i thought was great [03:10] so he created a launchpad account [03:10] https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/ [03:10] great [03:10] we want to use malone [03:10] if that is ok [03:10] think so... [03:10] i don't want too many different ways to do things [03:10] launchpad is looking better all the time [03:10] I think they are running in parallel atm [03:10] nod [03:11] i call it "software development for human beings" ;-) [03:11] wmaulik, please use buzilla, malone is only for universe packges [03:12] nobody of the main devs looks in launchpad yet [03:12] ogra: when will that change? [03:12] it is not the best situation [03:13] i want to grow the edubuntu users, testers, etc group [03:13] if malone is ready its lacking a lot of features [03:13] and encourage people to report bugs [03:13] most new users don't know whether something is in universe or not [03:13] and they shouldn't have to [03:13] but i suspect sabdfl will force us to use it for main after release [03:14] everything installed in edubuntu is in main [03:14] ok [03:14] only stuff you installed additionally can be from niverse [03:14] if Writesh created a launchpad account, can he use bugzilla? [03:15] i'm not sure if they already work together this deep.... try it [03:18] ok, i've gotta run [03:18] bye and thanks... [03:18] writesh left already to go to his next class [03:18] now i've got to teach mine ;-) [03:18] :) [03:18] we'll try bugzilla tomorrow [03:19] ok [03:19] but i have to say that if it is easy we can to these things [03:19] if it is not we can't [03:19] thanks! [03:19] bye [03:19] then mail me about the bugs [03:19] ok, thanks [03:19] so i can forward them to bugzilla to assign them the right people [03:30] sigh [03:30] do flint or jelkner ever stay for longer than 10 mins? [03:40] highvoltage - why so quiet :) [03:46] Zaheer: very busy :) [03:55] highvoltage: watching idols *duck* [04:01] JaneW: i wasn't *really* watching, I just came buy because vicki said we must :) [04:05] highvoltage: nod, I was also only there for 5 mins or so... [04:05] highvoltage: it's too cold to stand out there for long [04:06] yep. my word i'm tired. i ordered an dsl line from telkom today. took 45 mins. [04:06] the wireless connection in my area is just too dodgy. [04:07] highvoltage: pity, but our ADSL ahs been good, except for the intl problems, but that had nothing to do with ADSL... [04:08] i think adsl is the best option locally. they just didn't have it in my area when i moved there (telkom didn't even have phone lines there). [04:09] Zaheer: so, how are things? [04:11] highvoltage: where do you live? in the karoo? ;) [04:12] hehe. new area just outside bellville and kuils river (next to bottelary). [04:15] highvoltage: ok, I got married near there (one of the wine farms) [04:15] where do you live at the moment? [04:15] Rondebosch [04:16] cool man, looking forward to sysadmin classes starting ;) [04:16] any word on the venue yet? [04:16] Zaheer: lol, I read that as SysAdmin clashes - I thought there was a battle of the SysAdmins or something ;) [04:17] he he :D [04:17] Zaheer: it's at pentech. i'm getting the maps tomorrow, will forward on. [04:18] im glad to see there a quite a few cape townians around :) [04:18] Zaheer: ah, so you know who i am now ;) [04:18] yes i do :D .. you had me worried for a while!

[10:40] s/second hoary/breezy [10:40] I think they are doing fine with edubuntu [10:40] at least from the looks [10:40] Eh????? [10:41] I didnt say they weren't [10:41] o.O [10:41] you asked how is everything [10:41] I just said that seems fine for them ;) [10:41] don't pick on my words so easily :) [10:41] I wasn't [10:41] hehe [10:41] I was just wondering what the hell you're talking about oOl [10:42] Projects as in [10:42] "what WILL be in edubuntu" [10:42] " What's going to be in Edubuntu?" [10:42] at least gnome-screensaver instead of x-s-s :p [10:42] nooo [10:42] huh [10:42] it was dropped a week ago [10:42] ehh? [10:43] did i say xss? [10:43] (sorry i'm in a meeting) [10:43] *thin air picking* [10:43] I'll just stay quiet :D [10:43] I dont know what the hell you're talkjing about XD [10:43] I said [10:43] "What projects" [10:43] And you're like ; "YA IM USING GNOME-SCREENSAVER" [10:44] o__O [10:44] "Nice Day today eh!" [10:44] "Yeah, i like banana boats" [10:45] *sights* [10:46] JessicaX^, kdeedu, gcompris, schooltool, the new and shiny ltsp classroom server we developed, moodle (hopefully, its currently a bit buggy) [10:46] sounds nice [10:46] coulorful artwork and icons... [10:46] Still using GNOME, right? [10:47] yup [10:47] but with kde bits... [10:47] kdeedu has no counterpart on the gnome side yet [10:49] iono, i tried using kubuntu [10:49] After ubuntu [10:49] and kubuntu ran faster [10:49] o.O [10:50] i never tried kubuntu... [10:50] :) [10:51] but i was told by several people that kde is a lot slower via ltsp... which is our main app... [10:51] Hmm [10:51] Yeah, but iono [10:51] i'll test that for next release [10:51] I think KDE looks more unified.. I dont like Epiphany [10:51] i dont like KDE ;) [10:51] Obviously [10:51] :P [10:51] way to cluttered [10:52] Well, it is out of the box [10:52] But gnome is completely the opposite [10:52] Nice to get up and running, but iono [10:52] gnome is totally out of te box :) [10:52] o_O [10:52] but we could discuss that endless... lets drop it [10:53] I know, i know [10:53] and i have to attend the meeting in #ubuntu-meeting :) [10:53] :P [10:53] you should use TuX :) [10:53] Very sexy indeed [10:53] ?? [10:53] Kernel HTTPd [10:54] yes, but why ? people are familiar with apache :) [10:55] kernelspace httpd makes me shudder [10:55] :D [10:55] Put IIS on there then ;) [10:55] Some schools in UK kiss that [10:55] hehe [10:56] TuX uses Apache as a secondary webserver [10:56] again [10:56] why, when you have apache? [10:56] the whole concept of putting http serving in kernel land is crazy [10:56] Not really [10:56] if you say so. ;) [10:57] Apache is nice, but there are HTTPd's that are faster than it [10:57] Well, i do ;) [10:57] Ask Igno Molnar why he made one [10:57] remember him? :P [10:57] Ingo :/ [10:57] yes. [10:57] did he run it on a ltsp server with 25 thin clients that started openpffice simultaiously ? [10:58] Ingo Molnar has been contributing to Linux kernel development since 1995 with an impressive list of accomplishments. Most recently his O(1) scheduler was merged into the 2.5 development kernel [10:58] Not that i recall [10:58] But that scheduler is uber clever [10:58] just because I love his scheduler doesn't mean that I like kernelspace http-serving [10:58] :P [10:59] Have you used it? [10:59] I tried it a long time ago [10:59] and never touched it again [10:59] it scares me [10:59] :D [10:59] :P [10:59] I love it [11:00] couldn't live without it I assume? ;) [11:00] Not really [11:00] It's good [11:00] but not that good [11:00] Linux yes, that no [11:01] :) [11:02] Hmm, would i be able to make a KDE based version of edubuntu? [11:02] Or a strictly dinge-o-rama ? :/ [11:03] Also magnon [11:03] http://slashdot.org/articles/00/07/20/1440204.shtml [11:03] Enjoy :) [11:04] you are a fan or something? [11:04] :D [11:05] I like clever things :) [11:05] hehe [11:06] perhaps too clever? ;) [11:06] Not really [11:06] I modify everything [11:06] To exactly how i like it [11:06] agreed [11:06] And then, once i've played, i look at what everyone else wants, strike a compromise, make it, sell and be happy [11:10] it's really not that clever. [11:11] it's putting something in kernel-land that SHOULD NOT be there [11:11] better when it works pretty close to that from the start :P [11:11] Rofl [11:11] Nah [11:11] Kernel land :P [11:11] I agree with magnon about kernel land [11:11] :p [11:12] It handles file transfers anyway, why should it be coupled with that which handles files [11:12] why to implement? [11:12] I don't see any reasons [11:13] I agree with the creator, tbh [11:13] " The biggest advantage i see is to have encapsulation, security and performance available to dynamic web applications *at the same time*" [11:22] security + kernel land just doesn't fit normal security theory for me [11:22] :P [11:22] :D [11:22] So, the kernel is insecure? [11:22] I love that "kernel land" [11:23] by browsing files on the web through kernel he meant I think [11:23] Not really [11:23] it's too close to the core [11:23] HTTPd isnt about browsing [11:23] damned, not too close, it's in the core [11:23] nope, not really.. but you got my point I assume? [11:23] Yeah [11:25] JessicaX^: it just means that if there first is a security breach, it's more fatal [11:27] But then again, if you got breached with apache running as root, then you'd have the same level of problems [11:27] The worst they can do is really lock you out or format everything [11:27] then why not run a lightweight http server in user land? :) [11:27] fatal.. I'd call it devastating [11:28] :p [11:28] :P [11:28] Like i say [11:28] If you code securely [11:28] ...there will always be a bug. [11:29] So, the same of edubuntu, then [11:29] Or is that exempt of these criticisms [11:29] ? [11:29] yeah, everybody always try to code securely.. but even in the mouse cursor in windows, there is bug with security flaws :D [11:29] You're using windows as an example o.O === linescanner [n=andy@62.121.26.69] has joined #edubuntu [11:30] I just used as an example for a bug, it's good base for flaws :D [11:30] lol Usually, it's like "even the best can have problems" [11:30] Not [11:30] "windows has problems" [11:30] :P [11:30] hehe, yeah [11:31] Well, i'm building a distro up right now [11:31] :/ [11:31] I use most extraordinary ways to use examples [11:31] people are always laughing at me about it :) [11:31] Heh [11:31] I never use windows as a good example [11:31] I used as a worst [11:31] Also - does edubuntu have a page for schools perhaps wanting to change to Linux? eg - benefits? [11:32] If not, i could make one, i used to have to do presentations along the same lines all the time [11:32] JessicaX^, we have a wiki, feel free to make a page :) [11:32] err [11:32] I'll type it as a document [11:32] ogra: do we have anything _else_ than a wiki? ;)O [11:33] we'll have a website before release... [11:33] Well, i could make a website for you [11:33] I'm not brilliant with designs, but i "inspire" myself off template sites ;) [11:33] and a plone cms was planned, but i'm not sure highvoltage has come around to do it in time [11:33] Or with HTML or CSS o.O [11:34] I can make it in Drupal [11:34] *shudder [11:34] eek [11:34] Oh geezus [11:34] i'd like to avoid php [11:34] I think ubuntu has some good infrastructure already [11:34] You don't like drupal? :/ [11:34] rofl isnt Moodle PHP [11:34] ;) [11:34] i dont like php [11:34] you don't like much [11:34] :/ [11:34] ogra: as long as it's php5, I'd be fine [11:34] i dont use moodle, i just listened to our users ;) [11:34] It is php5 [11:35] ogra [11:35] Thank geebus for that [11:35] Otherwise it' [11:35] it isn't started up as php5 [11:35] it would probably be just a non-graphical boot [11:35] :/ [11:35] and i build a distro, i#m not the guy who does the web stuff... only a poor developer builing a CD here :) [11:35] I like skirts, and shopping, but it doesnt mean everyone else does [11:35] :P === ogra likes skirts... if he doesnt need to wear them ;) [11:36] I wear them =) [11:36] I love skirts on girls as well [11:36] but, like i say [11:36] pff, girls are overrated [11:36] lol === magnon should start running [11:37] time for some pizza and the 4400 episode [11:37] I like pink and girly stuff, and there's stuff i know i like, but it doesnt mean everyone else will love them because i do [11:37] :D [11:37] pink [11:37] she said pink [11:37] hint hint hint [11:37] and that does NOT mean edubuntu should have a default pink theme [11:37] anyway, off I go :) [11:37] Didnt say it should [11:37] JessicaX^, we have a server infrastructure where everything is python based already... everything else generates extra effort... [11:38] Go with the flow of the people ;) === fersfeir [n=fernando@201.250.13.235] has joined #edubuntu [11:38] Just saying, every school i spoke to - chose KDE [11:38] adding php stuff would mean we'd need extra servers etc [11:38] Not really, i would have hosted it [11:38] But i cant be bothered now you've ranted :P [11:38] we'd like to hots it in our datacenter :) [11:39] Congrats [11:39] and the decision for gnome was not my personal decision we had a 4 day summit with lots of people and discussed apps and stuff to an end [11:39] gnome was a very wise decision [11:39] :) [11:39] Sure sure [11:40] if it was KDE I'd be using fc or even nld and still be unhappy [11:40] its simply that the support in ubuntu for gnome is bigger, we have a lot more developers wotrking on gnome stuff and only one for kde [11:40] Well, thats fair enough [11:40] edubuntu is 90% ubuntu... [11:40] But, when i worked at doing this kinda thing for money [11:40] i cant do everything alone ;) [11:41] A lot of the schools we spoke to said KDE over Gnome, or other WM's [11:41] the demand for a "like ubuntu" system in africa and southamerica is very high... that includes gnome [11:42] hm [11:42] JessicaX^: Oh, easy problem. "This is ubuntu, like it?" "yes" "ok." [11:42] We have the same here in the UK. Most we have shown prefer KDE [11:42] "this is ubuntu like it.. er.. well, actually" "tough shit" [11:43] linescanner: I worked in the UK with it [11:43] Even the LEA we spoke to said KDE just looked a lot cleaner than Gnome, and fluxbox [11:43] if you say "gnome is simple and streamlined, whereas kde has too much cruft", they'd choose gnome [11:43] its no probem to install kde in edubuntu its just not the default install... [11:43] Not really [11:43] so it's a matter of how you say it :P [11:43] We didnt force KDE [11:43] Which LEA ? [11:43] Thats just absolutely the most idiotic thing possible [11:44] The North Yorkshire, and the Cheshire [11:44] Did you get anywhere with them ? [11:44] I force GNOME and can't see anything wrong with it [11:44] since it's what I support. :P [11:44] Forcing is retarded [11:44] no [11:44] I didnt force, i let them choose [11:44] we too [11:44] choosing a stable system that you can support is nonretarded [11:44] giving too many options which creates more work for _you_ in the end, is retarded. [11:44] You dont go to a school and say YOU HAVE TO HAVE UBUNTU or we wont support you [11:45] and since the summit was in london, there were a lot british teachers :) [11:45] Like it or not , it's similar to what Microsoft does [11:45] well, actually, we do [11:45] Not really [11:45] Because we could work with either [11:45] it's not, because they can always go wherever they want [11:45] I didnt want to force them [11:45] I couldn't [11:45] I know jack about KDE [11:45] because it's their choice [11:45] If they didnt want it, i didnt say "oh well, up yours" [11:46] or "Oh, not KDE?? GRRR" [11:46] I would. :D [11:46] Then you're an idiot [11:46] thanks [11:46] With Schools, you have to give choice [11:46] why? [11:46] why more choice to them than to anyone else? [11:46] Otherwise they just think you're trying to shove it down their throats [11:46] The desktop aint the issue though it is what you do with it [11:46] because THEY should sacrifice support over others? [11:46] magnon [11:46] JessicaX^, thast exactly what we did... we invited interested eachers of schools wanting to adopt edubuntu what ever it should be and followed their choices [11:46] are businesses more important? [11:46] magnon [11:46] What the hell are you talking about [11:46] i'm on about the look and feel [11:47] We had 4 laptops [11:47] And we let them and CHILDREN [11:47] from ages of 5 - 16 [11:47] Look around them [11:47] JessicaX^: that if you run support, you need to go with a system and support it the way YOU can, if you don't, you're going to use more resources on it, and that heightens prices. [11:47] On gnome, even the LEA said as default it looks too dark [11:47] well, like said [11:47] I'd help with a KDE port of it [11:47] JessicaX you working in schools still ? [11:48] I think choice is important, otherwise we'd all be using windows [11:48] linescanner, no i left [11:48] But, i'm helping a friend re-start the business [11:48] ah well, my business is external of schools and I work with both schools and SMBs [11:48] so, no choice. [11:48] the choice is "find another vendor", which is entirely their choice, of course. [11:49] But like i said, when we spoke with a phsychology lecturer [11:49] And other related professionals [11:49] JessicaX you seen what we do at Cutter ? [11:49] they said about colour schemes, and how crucial they are to children of young ages [11:49] Cutter? [11:49] www.cutterproject.co.uk [11:49] I heard of that [11:49] JessicaX^, have you even seen edubuntus gnome desktop yet ? [11:49] Linux thin client for schools [11:50] There are no Screenshots from what i can see [11:50] nope [11:50] install it ;) [11:50] help testing ;) [11:50] Err [11:50] we'll release screenshots before release [11:50] Ogra: you get anywhere with the bootig issue ? [11:51] booting even [11:51] linescanner, the mptscsi stuff ? [11:51] no the thins looping at nfs [11:51] Hehe, suse [11:52] linescanner, nope, some people are trying to track it now.... [11:52] Ahh, linescanner [11:52] Good work on the cutter project [11:52] :)_ [11:52] Thanks [11:53] I watch Working lunch sometimes [11:53] :) [11:54] Cool. The Deputy head there is turning into a media star :) [11:54] downloading the coverage of it now :D [11:54] we are looking for more people to push it [11:54] I'd be happy to help :) [11:55] drop me an email [11:55] Sure [11:55] i'd need the email :P [11:56] andy.trevor@cutterproject.co.uk [11:56] :) Okay, will do [11:57] my priv is blocked at the mo [11:57] Ah, righty [11:57] Unregistred user? [11:59] yeah, keep meaning to sort it out [11:59] lol [11:59] :) [11:59] Can't wait to watch this :) [11:59] I love it when linux gets mentioned on television [12:00] ogra: re mptscsi stuff I need to put some time aside this week to get some feed back to you guys [12:00] JessicaX :) [12:00] hm? :> [12:01] linescanner, try to get jbailey directly, we have other sun fire users, would be nice if that could be solved [12:02] Holy mackkarel [12:03] mackarel [12:03] 4000+ for Windows [12:03] Geebus [12:03] *eeek*
