ogra | viator, follow the notes http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes ;) | 12:05 |
---|---|---|
ogra | they are written for a one NIC setup | 12:05 |
mhz | ogra: will it be of any use I show up in UBZ_ | 12:08 |
mhz | ? | 12:08 |
mhz | or it's most oriented towards developers only | 12:08 |
mhz | ? | 12:08 |
ajmitch_ | quite developer-oriented | 12:09 |

ogra | sven-tek, yes, thanks... | 12:16 |
sven-tek | thats good, i had to leave so i told the team to send it | 12:17 |
ogra | sorry, havent answered yet, busy day today | 12:18 |
sven-tek | today a teacher asked if he can tell about his experiences with linux in schools - but i think he uses skole linux | 12:18 |
viator | wheres a good place to find network boot floppy | 12:19 |
ogra | most likely... | 12:19 |
mhz | sven-tek: skole linux, edubuntu, edulinux.. whatever input is a start for other people to see gnulinux on education is a wise alternative | 12:19 |
ogra | viator, http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/BootingClientWithoutPxe | 12:21 |
ogra | :) | 12:21 |
viator | there is no os on this box right now but i know its a linksys lne100tx im not sure which rom to pick i can guess i guess | 12:28 |
viator | its tulip | 12:28 |
ogra | i'D guess so | 12:28 |
crimsun | yep, tulip | 12:29 |
ogra | (that you can guess) | 12:29 |
viator | but theres a bunch of em | 12:29 |
crimsun | I have a bunch of those nics in another box | 12:29 |
sven-tek | bevore we got that offer to use the unperfekthaus in essen, my idea was to go to schools and promote linux there. So i think linux in schools is very important, you guys are doing an important job. | 12:29 |
viator | theres one that says rl100tx | 12:30 |
viator | gotta be it | 12:30 |
ogra | sven-tek, absolutely... | 12:32 |
viator | whats the best fromat to choose for the floppy? .zdsk or .ispo i thought floppy images where .img? lol | 12:34 |
ogra | i'm not really familiar with etherboot ... Yagisan could tell ... | 12:35 |
viator | your servers are pretty quick im downloading the edubuntu iso @ about 200 kb/s | 12:36 |
ogra | cool :) | 12:37 |
viator | i figured it out .zdsk | 12:37 |
viator | then cat eb-5.4.1-tulip.zdsk > /dev/fd0 | 12:39 |
=== ogra would use dd ... but cat might work as well | ||
viator | dd if=bootfloppy.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync ; sync like that? | 12:41 |
ogra | yup | 12:41 |
viator | lol now all i need to do is find some floppies i only have one laying around that ive written to like a million times | 12:43 |
ogra | heh, i know that prob | 12:43 |
viator | sound is a pin in the arse right? | 12:43 |
viator | dont really need it on these anyway | 12:44 |
ogra | its not implemented yet... | 12:44 |
viator | yeah i remember when i messed with ltsp on debian | 12:44 |
ogra | so you'd have to set up something like nas or esd over network | 12:44 |
viator | can you boot from a wirless card? | 12:45 |
ogra | but all current solutions are ugly and not really the last in safety | 12:45 |
viator | using a cdrom or somthing | 12:45 |
ogra | if you find a bootrom for it, yes...i heard of wlan cards that can do that, but havent seen one myself yet | 12:45 |
viator | i guess theres a wireless_ltsp boot floppy | 12:51 |
viator | i asked on #ltsp | 12:51 |
ogra | yes, i see it.. | 12:51 |
ogra | but that means you boot the kernel fro the floppy... could get hairy, breezy ltsp needs 2.6.12 ... | 12:52 |
ogra | but try it, probably it works... | 12:53 |
viator | yeah the wirless stuff is on here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17723..section | 01:01 |

dabaR | JaneW: Yes, thank you, I got logged in.(This message in reply to when you asked about whether I am sorted now(in reply to your previous enquiry, if you prefer to be formal:)) | 04:23 |
dabaR | I think Edubuntu has a great set of icons. | 04:27 |
dabaR | I was thinking, at universities, they have usually intro to computers courses, and in Windows, plus the stuff they teach them is too easy even for that course. We need a intro to computers - Linux. | 04:29 |
crimsun | interestingly enough, they teach intro to computers courses at my university on Digital UNIX, heh | 04:33 |
crimsun | pretty much everything is UNIX- or Linux-based | 04:34 |
dabaR | Really? | 04:35 |
dabaR | Well, at my U they teach in windows. | 04:36 |
dabaR | Pretty much everything in teh CS program, or in that course? | 04:36 |

corvax | ive got edubuntu installed now how do i set it up as terminal server? | 05:53 |
mhz | corvax: just reboot your clients already set to boot via PXE in Bios | 05:54 |
mhz | corvax: and be sure you /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf is correct | 05:54 |
corvax | i ran the ltspconfig to see what was up and it showed dhcp wasnt running | 05:55 |
mhz | corvax: afaik, you should run nothing. it all should work out of the box if you followed InstallNotes on the wiki | 05:55 |
=== jammcq [n=jam@pcp09011044pcs.watrfd01.mi.comcast.net] has left #edubuntu [] | ||
corvax | well i burned iso and just did all the defaults | 05:56 |
mhz | corvax: good | 05:56 |
corvax | it asked for my ip i gave it to it | 05:56 |
mhz | did you also read Install Notes? | 05:56 |
mhz | corvax: what ip you provided? | 05:56 |
corvax | 192.168.1.102 | 05:57 |
mhz | corvax: ok, now see /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf and make sure your network settings correspond to the real one | 05:58 |
corvax | ok | 05:59 |
corvax | nope | 06:00 |
mhz | ? | 06:00 |
corvax | it looks like a default | 06:00 |
corvax | you have place for paste | 06:01 |
mhz | so, replace values to match real ones | 06:01 |
mhz | here | 06:01 |
mhz | shoot | 06:01 |
corvax | well it has 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 etc | 06:02 |
mhz | that is incorrect then | 06:02 |
corvax | so i need to replace all 0's with ones | 06:02 |
mhz | yes | 06:02 |
mhz | 192.168.1.xxx | 06:03 |
mhz | of course :) | 06:03 |
corvax | do i comment out the domain i dont really need it | 06:04 |
mhz | yes | 06:04 |
corvax | authoritative; | 06:05 |
corvax | subnet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.1 { | 06:05 |
corvax | range 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.250; | 06:05 |
corvax | #option domain-name "example.com"; | 06:05 |
corvax | option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; | 06:05 |
corvax | option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; | 06:05 |
corvax | option routers 192.168.1.1; | 06:05 |
corvax | option subnet-mask 255.255.255.1; | 06:05 |
corvax | filename "/ltsp/pxelinux.0"; | 06:05 |
corvax | option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386"; | 06:05 |
corvax | } | 06:05 |
corvax | thats what it looks like now | 06:06 |
mhz | subnet 192.168.1.0 instead | 06:06 |
mhz | range 192.168.1.x higher than option routers | 06:07 |
mhz | option subentmask 255.255.255.0 | 06:07 |
mhz | for this try, please #out option router | 06:07 |
mhz | duh | 06:08 |
mhz | duh #out | 06:08 |
mhz | dont #out | 06:08 |
mhz | option routers Are you sure there's another router with that ip? | 06:08 |
corvax | my routers has the ip 192.168.1.1 | 06:09 |
corvax | which is the default gateway | 06:09 |
mhz | ok, then | 06:09 |
corvax | that option is for extra router? | 06:10 |
mhz | if you have a server + router + clients | 06:10 |
mhz | it is most likely router will stop you dhcpd from server becaus emost routers have dhcp in them | 06:10 |
corvax | yes servers is connected to a router and the router one port is connected to a switch | 06:10 |
corvax | and clients connected to switch | 06:11 |
mhz | (at least that happened to me until i got a switch and all got well) | 06:11 |
corvax | well ill just hook it to the switch | 06:11 |
corvax | no prob | 06:11 |
mhz | ok | 06:11 |
mhz | then /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart and let's see | 06:12 |
mhz | reboot a client :D | 06:12 |
dabaR | So the ltsp is enabled by default on all versions of Ubuntu, right? | 06:12 |
mhz | nop | 06:13 |
mhz | only in Edubuntu | 06:13 |
dabaR | Does it come with the desktop? no, right? The whole thing has to be an Edubuntu install. | 06:13 |
mhz | yep | 06:14 |
mhz | unless you wanna do it all manually :) | 06:14 |
dabaR | And, you just network a computer onto your Edubuntu, and make it boot from that PXE thing you said above, make a small config tweak, and it works? | 06:15 |
corvax | i have no dhcpd in /etc/init.d/ | 06:15 |
mhz | dabaR: yes | 06:15 |
mhz | corvax: are you sure you installed Edubuntu and not just Ubuntu? | 06:15 |
corvax | YES | 06:16 |
corvax | lol | 06:16 |
corvax | im new but not THAT new | 06:16 |
dabaR | nice, Ive wanted to try ltsp for a while now. I think ever since I learned about Unix in the first place, cause where I learned about it they had some setup like that. | 06:16 |
corvax | im looking at the desktop with the edubuntu logo and the funny lookin kid | 06:17 |
mhz | corvax: hehe. I am not new but I had a I_still_dont_know_how_issue in which I swear I installed edubuntu but it turns out I did had not. | 06:18 |
corvax | well whats the best way to tell besides that | 06:18 |
corvax | i know | 06:19 |
mhz | apt-get install edubuntu-server | 06:19 |
mhz | :D | 06:19 |
corvax | lol | 06:19 |
corvax | no ill do apt-cache policy edubuntu-desktop ? right | 06:19 |

corvax | it didnt oxe boot | 07:01 |
corvax | pxe | 07:01 |
corvax | it went to harddrive | 07:01 |
mhz | if fail, any chance you could try crossover cable or no router? | 07:01 |
corvax | i went into bios and set it to boot from lan | 07:01 |
corvax | well id loose internet i guess the only reason i have router is for wireless | 07:02 |
corvax | anyway | 07:02 |
mhz | hehehe | 07:02 |
mhz | for the 'try' purpose, please? | 07:02 |
Yagisan | sorry - could you quickly summarise the error | 07:03 |
corvax | ok ill unhook it now ill be disconnected for a bit | 07:03 |
mhz | corvax: i dont wanna go to bed befor i get to know if server is ok | 07:03 |
mhz | educool! | 07:03 |
mhz | Yagisan: still no error | 07:03 |
mhz | Yagisan: corvax has a router in the middle | 07:03 |
mhz | remember I had exact same problem? | 07:04 |
Yagisan | yes, I remember that | 07:04 |
mhz | once I did not use the router, edubuntu worked perfectly | 07:04 |
mhz | so, we are trying to 1st see if edubuntu runs | 07:04 |
mhz | once we know that, he can move on with local net settings | 07:05 |
Yagisan | corvax: Most "routers" sold to the home and small business markets are a nat device, primarily designed to share an internet connection | 07:05 |
Yagisan | corvax: they are not true routers | 07:05 |
mhz | exactly | 07:06 |
Yagisan | corvax: hence, you will be unable to use them as a true router | 07:06 |

ball | Mine used to do that, but a different modem fixed the problem. | 09:06 |
JaneW | ball: this is a 'Hell'kom supplied ADSL modem/router goodie | 09:07 |
ball | I'm not familiar with Telkom, but I get the gist. | 09:07 |
ball | routers generally suck, and I'm not that keen on integrated modems. | 09:09 |
ball | If the modem breaks, you have to throw away a perfectly good router. If the router breaks... I'd prefer a router with a PC-Card or Cardbus slot so that I could pop in whatever interface suited my needs that year. | 09:12 |
ball | POTS, ISDN, terrestrial wireless etc. | 09:13 |
ball | Commercial routers have a tendancy to be evil anyway. | 09:16 |
ball | I'll shut up now ;-) | 09:16 |
JaneW | ball: agreed | 09:19 |
ball | Which bit? About me shutting up? :-) | 09:20 |
JaneW | ball: LOL | 09:22 |
JaneW | ball: I was agreeing with your comments about routers and modems :) | 09:22 |
ball | Ah good, now I don't feel quite so bad ;-) | 09:23 |

jsgotangco | ogra, hi | 11:35 |
JaneW | er can we get in the 'free stationery' business please? | 11:37 |
jsgotangco | mmm? | 11:38 |
=== JaneW just got the list of stationery (and uniform) requirements for Grade 1 next year - I may need to ask the bank for a loan! ;) | ||
jsgotangco | im not getting you | 11:39 |
JaneW | it's EXPENSIVE | 11:40 |
jsgotangco | ohh you mean ubuntu going into free stationaries | 11:41 |
JaneW | yes :) | 11:42 |
=== jsgotangco is dumb | ||
MenZa` | lol | 11:42 |
JaneW | maybe I wasn;t clear | 11:42 |
JaneW | or outlaw the pencil and paper | 11:42 |
JaneW | all work on wikis! | 11:42 |
ajmitch_ | hah | 11:42 |
ajmitch_ | educate the kids on wikis as early as possible | 11:42 |
jsgotangco | evil | 11:43 |
jsgotangco | id rather have my child learn to write :P | 11:43 |
ajmitch_ | so would I, if I had children :) | 11:44 |
jsgotangco | its easy to have one if you desire such... | 11:44 |
ajmitch_ | not right at the moment, thanks | 11:45 |
jsgotangco | i was teaching my kid last weekend to play scrabble | 11:45 |
jsgotangco | so she could learn simple words and spell them | 11:45 |
JaneW | good idea | 11:46 |
jsgotangco | heh | 11:47 |
jsgotangco | yeah | 11:47 |
ajmitch_ | except she kept beating you? ;) | 11:47 |
jsgotangco | a year ago i taught her to play dice so she could count | 11:47 |
JaneW | jsgotangco: poker next? ;) | 11:47 |
jsgotangco | yeah except when I added the words "Encyclopedia" and "Ziggurat" heh | 11:48 |

jsgotangco | more like intimidation... | 11:48 |
jsgotangco | we've been buying a lot of simple board games lately, trying my best to avoid using a computer or a videogame to teach as much as posible... | 11:51 |

Yagisan | oh ? I've been trying to teach my little girl to use a computer | 11:56 |
Yagisan | it's a lot harder to pull apart for her | 11:56 |
jsgotangco | oh its not a problem on our home, my girl prefers to use a real laptop rather than her toy one | 11:56 |
=== Yagisan feels sad she ripped up all the books I bought her | ||
jsgotangco | i've bought her a toy computer worth $100 and it just self-destruct after a few kiddie torture | 11:57 |
Yagisan | I need more robust toys - I think my little girl is an engineer | 11:58 |
jsgotangco | my problem at th e moment is her gameboy | 11:58 |
Yagisan | She always is giving me "spare" parts | 11:58 |
jsgotangco | she won't do her kumon lessons before playing at least an hour | 11:58 |
Yagisan | kumon ? isn't that cram school ? | 12:01 |
jsgotangco | no | 12:01 |
jsgotangco | its not supposed to replace math studies in school | 12:02 |
jsgotangco | (others use it for that though) | 12:02 |
Yagisan | ah - then I was thinking of juku, both are from Japan though | 12:04 |
jsgotangco | heh | 12:08 |
jsgotangco | that reminded me when i was an exchange student in suzuka back then... | 12:09 |
jsgotangco | high school was literally useless | 12:09 |
Yagisan | like the trip ? I was impressed by how different - yet how same it was when I first went | 12:10 |
jsgotangco | well yeah | 12:11 |
jsgotangco | most of the highschool years they don't study at all except for the last year (college entrace preparation) | 12:11 |
Yagisan | I was in country for only a few hours before I broke an electronic toilet, trying to figure out how it worked | 12:12 |
jsgotangco | the city toilets are ok, already westernized | 12:12 |
jsgotangco | but most homes in far flung areas are still very traditional | 12:12 |
Yagisan | I tried both styles | 12:13 |
Yagisan | learn to balance or =-O | 12:13 |
jsgotangco | hahaha | 12:13 |
jsgotangco | i also got the chance to ride those transparent ferris wheel rides | 12:14 |
jsgotangco | scary | 12:14 |
Yagisan | I got the electronic toilet to "detect" a person when It was empty - blew water right across the hotel room :-[ | 12:14 |
Yagisan | I went to the top of tokyo tower, and looked through the glass floor - that was freaky | 12:15 |
jsgotangco | yeah | 12:15 |
jsgotangco | and the officemen wearing porn manga on the way to work | 12:16 |
jsgotangco | i mean reading | 12:16 |
Yagisan | try to catch the train n peak hour ? that was an experience | 12:17 |
jsgotangco | yeah | 12:17 |
jsgotangco | hehehe | 12:17 |
jsgotangco | the train people have this paddles | 12:17 |
jsgotangco | i think they separate the women nowadays | 12:17 |
Yagisan | yes, there is a separate womens car in peak hour, because of the perverts on the train | 12:18 |

highvoltage | ogra: what's the default username/password for schooltool on edubuntu? | 02:32 |
ogra | erm... | 02:32 |
highvoltage | i'm probably missing something very obvious here :) | 02:34 |
ogra | manager and schooltool | 02:34 |
highvoltage | ah, thanks. do we have it on the wiki, or documented somewhere? | 02:34 |
ogra | not yet... thanks for reminding... wanted to add it some days ago | 02:35 |
highvoltage | i talked to JaneW previously about an edubuntu tour, showing all the futures of ubuntu on one page. | 02:35 |
highvoltage | ogra: here's a previe page, i'll add it up there too: http://www.edubuntu.org/proto/tour.html | 02:35 |
ogra | thanks | 02:36 |
highvoltage | ogra: have you looked at the crystal theme on OOo2? Do you think it's appropriate for edubuntu? I think it's more appropriate than the brown gtk theme. | 02:40 |
ogra | i looked at it... i dont like t... | 02:41 |
ogra | but thats personal preference... | 02:41 |
ogra | i never liked any of the crystal stuff... its cold and dead in its glassy look | 02:41 |
=== bluefrog-10 [n=admin@81.56.254.229] has joined #edubuntu | ||
highvoltage | seems like lots of people don't like it for that reason. | 02:42 |
ogra | probably we could ask the gartoon author to produce matching icons for us ;) | 02:42 |
highvoltage | i quite like it, apposed to the gtk theme. perhaps we should put out a call for some OOo hackers to put gartoon into OOo | 02:43 |
highvoltage | ah, yes. that too :) | 02:43 |
ogra | its easy to put anothee theme in if you have icons for it ;) | 02:43 |
highvoltage | in OOo too? cool. I thought it needs a re-compile and/or some hard coding. | 02:44 |
ogra | sure... | 02:44 |
ogra | but its easy if you have access to the source ;) | 02:45 |
highvoltage | true :) | 02:45 |
highvoltage | it can be a nice excercise for me over the december holidays, just a pity i won't have big internet access. | 02:45 |
highvoltage | i think i'll download the entire ubuntu archive in the meantime. | 02:45 |
highvoltage | if i need something, i have it. | 02:46 |
ogra | note that it will change rapidly... | 02:46 |
highvoltage | the OOo releases? | 02:47 |
highvoltage | I suppose I could figure out how to do it with an older release, | 02:47 |
highvoltage | and once we have the final version before release it could just be copied and pasted into the newer one. | 02:48 |
ogra | if it didnt change by then :) | 02:48 |
ogra | but for learning its a good way to go i think | 02:48 |
highvoltage | if i'd like to wget all the ubuntu packages, could i just download everything from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/ and under? | 02:50 |
ogra | apt-cache show debmirror ;) | 02:51 |
=== highvoltage does apt-get install debmirror | ||
highvoltage | ogra: do you know how big the breezy archive is, including universe? I would guess about 14GB? | 02:54 |
ogra | for one arch, it think... | 02:55 |
highvoltage | what does this mean? | 02:57 |
highvoltage | Won't mirror without dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz signature in Release at /usr/bin/debmirror line 1187. | 02:57 |
ogra | hmm, no idea, i dont use debmirror myself... thats a question for -devel | 03:00 |

Yagisan | Topslakr: what do you want to do ? | 06:35 |
ogra | Topslakr, see /topic :) | 06:35 |
ogra | Topslakr, there is only one step to do after installation... | 06:36 |
Yagisan | turn on :) | 06:36 |
Yagisan | .oO(Unless it doesn't support pxe, in which case we a a few more steps) | 06:37 |
ogra | nah... the autogeneration of /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf didnt make it... it requites to manually edit this file ... but EdubuntuInstallNotes should cover all common cases | 06:37 |
ogra | yes, non PXE is somewhat spethial | 06:38 |
Yagisan | ogra: but as I demonstrated, easy to fix | 06:38 |
ogra | Yagisan, did you have to do any changes to the tfptboot setup ? | 06:39 |
Yagisan | ogra: and if your pxe has bugs, perhaps a better choice | 06:39 |
Yagisan | ogra: none at all - if you follow the wiki | 06:39 |
ogra | i was asked this today... | 06:39 |
ogra | oh, great, thanks :) | 06:39 |
Yagisan | ogra: My instructions specifically set up pxe emulation | 06:39 |
ogra | ah, cool | 06:39 |
Yagisan | many thanks to whoever formated my instructions nicely | 06:40 |
=== ogra guesses that was mhz | ||
Yagisan | ogra: it will also take advantage of multicast tftp too, if the tftp server supports it | 06:41 |

mhz | yes | 07:06 |
ogra | mhz, there are some wiki and doc related BOFs... | 07:06 |
Yagisan | mhz: what type ? .avi is a container format, eg divx, xvid, indeo ? | 07:07 |
mhz | ogra, do you know which decoder and app to use to play avi files? | 07:07 |
ogra | mhz, enable uni and multiverse and install gstreamer-pligins-multiverse :) | 07:07 |
mhz | Yagisan, hhhhm | 07:07 |

ogra | there is a "better wiki" bof for example | 07:14 |
mhz | Yagisan, free tech | 07:14 |
mhz | and i'll do about communities | 07:14 |
mhz | ogra, wow, i missed it | 07:14 |

Yagisan | ogra, just browsing the bofs, you have ThinClientAudio, and ThinClientDevices, any plans for ThinClientLocalApps ? | 07:27 |
Yagisan | oh, and any fresh new ltsp patches for me to try ? | 07:28 |
ogra | not yet, working on ldm merge so its in the first new package if dapper opens... than your multiarch patch | 07:28 |
ogra | *then | 07:28 |
=== Yagisan needs a break from trying to get my website to show in IE5 | ||
ogra | nope, i have no plans for ThinclientLocal apps... and time for dapper feature developemnt will be *very* shourt since we'll have UVF earlier | 07:29 |
ogra | (a lot earlier) | 07:31 |
Yagisan | ogra: you will most likely need to implement either traffic shaping or compression for the audio over the network | 07:32 |
Yagisan | to keep latency acceptable | 07:32 |
ogra | yes, i thought about gstreamer/theora/ssh tunnel | 07:32 |
ogra | so we have an ogg stream on the net.... | 07:33 |
Yagisan | ogg does need a bit of cpu power to encode decode | 07:33 |
ogra | yup | 07:33 |
Yagisan | adpcm gets 4:1 compression, and needs almost no cpu time (can be done realtime on a 386) | 07:34 |
ogra | other suggestions that are gstreamer supported and have such a high rate ? | 07:34 |
Yagisan | but needs more bandwidth | 07:34 |
=== Yagisan can't attend bof, so if you think I have a good idea, log it :) | ||
ogra | is there a gstreamer implementation available ? | 07:37 |
Yagisan | ogra: I don't know, adpcm is such an old codec, gstreamer0.8-audiofile should support it | 07:43 |
Yagisan | it's a basic modification of the pcm (wav) format | 07:44 |
ogra | sounds bandwith hungry | 07:45 |
Yagisan | to an extent yes, tradeoff cpu vs bandwidth | 07:45 |
ogra | depends if i need more CPU for de or encoding... i have plenty CPU power on the server... | 07:46 |
ogra | at least for plings and ploings of gnome it should be enough :) | 07:47 |
Yagisan | ogra: someone, somewhere, is going to try and play their mp3/ogg collection on that server | 07:47 |
Yagisan | in any rate, it should be low cpu decode | 07:48 |
ogra | yup | 07:48 |
Yagisan | because clients can be anything from a 486 up | 07:48 |
ogra | yup | 07:50 |
Yagisan | ograL flac may be better, fast decode, more bandwidth efficient then adpcm, and has a gstreamer plugin | 07:50 |
Yagisan | *ogra | 07:50 |
ogra | yup | 07:50 |
ogra | lets see how to implement it.. i think gstreamer is the right way... it covers desktop, totem and rhythmbox as well as all gnome apps... | 07:51 |
ogra | the prob is to make the kdeedu apps tlak to gstreamer | 07:52 |
Yagisan | what about apps that talk directly to alsa or oss ? | 07:52 |
Yagisan | found a compression here http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lossless_comparison for flac | 07:53 |
Yagisan | s/compression/comparison | 07:53 |
ogra | they are not in the desktop we ship and it would be a huge ugly hack to do networked alsa | 07:53 |
ogra | thanlks :) | 07:54 |
Yagisan | using me (a non-typical case I know), I'd want xmms to work, perhaps vmware (it grabs /dev/dsp and isn't shipped by you), timidity | 07:57 |
Yagisan | and most likely a few others to work (wesnoth :) ) | 07:57 |
ogra | thats not my target yet for basic audio support... | 08:02 |
=== Yagisan sobs quietly | ||
ogra | we an extend what we have later... | 08:08 |
ogra | like we do now with the release | 08:08 |
ogra | one step at a time as long as i dont have more devs helping... | 08:08 |
Yagisan | I understand, I try to help where I can | 08:09 |

ogra | except you have different hardware for them :) | 09:47 |
ogra | but note that edubuntu *is* ubuntu ;) | 09:47 |
ogra | just another app selection, some server stuff and another look added on top | 09:47 |
geoffTheFish | can i get the look, its for my son - i have installed gcompris etc | 09:48 |
ogra | edubuntu-artwork is a systemwide package, you would need to install its components separately... | 09:49 |
ogra | to not make the settings affect the whole system... | 09:50 |
geoffTheFish | sounds complicated - maybe i'll just get a screenshot to use as desktop! | 09:50 |
ogra | install gartoon-icon-theme and the Edubuntu-Girl wallpaper from art.ubuntu.com then you have basiacally the look ... select both for him :) | 09:51 |

fernandokts | thanks | 11:29 |
fernandokts | so | 11:29 |
fernandokts | I installed Edubuntu in default in a computer to be the ltsp server... | 11:31 |
fernandokts | It's working great with PS2 mouse clients | 11:31 |
fernandokts | but when I boot a Serial Mouse, the mouse doesn't work | 11:31 |
fernandokts | but when I boot a Serial Mouse Client, the mouse doesn't work | 11:32 |
ogra | oh, thats a genereal ubuntu problem... | 11:32 |
fernandokts | and when I run ltspadmin it says that Xdmcp isn't installed, | 11:32 |
ogra | we cant detect serial mice | 11:32 |
fernandokts | hmm | 11:32 |
ogra | ltspadmin isnt used in edubuntus ltsp... the implementation is brandnew and developed in ubuntu, the main ltsp team is just adopting it | 11:33 |
fernandokts | that answers a lot | 11:34 |
ogra | we'll have gui tools to manage the ltsp setup in the next release | 11:34 |
fernandokts | is there any config tool for this version? | 11:34 |
fernandokts | or any config files | 11:34 |
ogra | currently only lts.conf | 11:34 |
ogra | place it in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ on the server, there is a example file in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client | 11:35 |
fernandokts | is that one different from that created by ltspadmin? | 11:35 |
ogra | tha majority of original ltsp options should work if you are familiar with the syntax | 11:36 |
ogra | i dont know what ltspadmin creates ... | 11:36 |
ogra | i guess there will be a lot of overhead | 11:36 |
ogra | since we can autodetect a lot in our implementation which doesnt work in legacy ltsp | 11:37 |
fernandokts | the funny thing is: when I use lts.conf in ../etc the clients(that weren't starting in GDM) start in GDM but the keyboard doesn't work | 11:37 |
fernandokts | if I specify a serial mouse in lts.conf should that work? | 11:38 |
ogra | http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes has some hints for keyboard settings... | 11:39 |
ogra | i think so... | 11:39 |

ogra | but i would remove all other entrys from the file... it moght confuse te autodetection, i dont know what ltspadmin adds there | 11:40 |
fernandokts | maybe that's why it stops the keyboard | 11:41 |
