paolobHi guys! can I dist-upgrade from debian testing to edubuntu? thank you!02:16
ogracurrent testing ? 02:17
ogra guess that wont work, is debian testing already frozen ? if yes, since when ? if not, i wouldnt suggest to even try it except youre a apt pinning expert02:21
=== P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@200.37.110.244] has joined #edubuntu
paolobogra: yes, current testing, with some packet from unstable02:30
ograthen i wouldnt suggest to try it ...02:30
ograedubuntu breezy is older02:30
paolobogra: no, it's a four-months-ago testing02:31
ograand its a 5 months ago edubuntu ... 02:32
ograwe had freezes where no updates cam in...02:32
ogra*came02:32
mhzre02:47
mhzogra: I was reading about short content being ready after installing, so users would have something or samples instead of empty OS02:49
mhzhow can exactly can we help?02:49
ograshort content ?02:49
mhzthings go too fast that sometimes (usually) get lost and thinking I could have given hand there02:50
mhzyup02:50
mhzw802:50
mhzhttp://wiki.edubuntu.org/ExampleContent02:50
mhzalso, there are many things in LaunchPad but I ignore how one can exactly help there02:51
ograits in fact what you wanted to do with your content stuff you described the other day ... 02:52
ograjust go on as you described :)02:52
mhzooooh02:52
ograthe common apps of ubuntu are covered ...02:52
ograwe can make a edubuntu-example-content package ...02:53
mhzi see, very related02:53
ograwhile i still think we should have a -cl -de -fr -es -en -etc version for each lang02:53
mhzyup02:55
mhzactually, I have been thinking about the best suitable way to name packages02:55
mhzI guess this could be:02:56
mhzPackageName_Language_Subject_Level.dpkg02:56
mhznow, the point is.. how do we manage 10.000 excercises of Math?02:57
ograyou cant use underscores ... and there is a versioning scheme for packages ...02:57
ograthis can result in *very* long filenames02:58
mhzeach teacher makes a file? all excercises of Geometry are in just one file we all maintain?02:58
mhzunderscores? oh, no, that was to separate parameters only02:58
ograi would make the level a config option so you can just reconfigure the package as needed02:59
mhzso, how would you picture the daily work for this?02:59
mhzand how would you name it?02:59
ograand swap the subject and language to match the common ubuntu package name scheme02:59
ograedubuntu-math-exercises-cl_0.1-1.deb 03:00
ografor example03:00
ograjust install all subjects, diskspace is chep03:01
ogra*cheap03:01
mhzyup, indeed but how do you picture we could manage the actual work? I mean, KIG has its file format. I create a Kig file with one excercise. Then 10 other teachers do the same.03:02
mhzI endup with 11 kig files03:02
mhzMy initial idea was that we can rate those excercises by using them and giving them EduPoints03:03
mhzbased on how well or easy to get it was03:03
ograyup03:03
mhzhow well structured it is03:03
ograsounds fine03:03
ogramake osure the teachers agree to the CC license03:04
mhzdoes sounds fine but I cant picture how to do it the whole thing of submitting files and even rating03:04
ograsort it in folders and we can install it in a appropriate location03:04
mhzof course, licensed free03:04
mhzso you say we should think of a file tree?03:05
mhzand use Bzr?03:05
ografor the package, indeed03:05
ograoh, yeah, that would be really cool03:05
=== mhz needs to learn more on 'the way developers work with files'
mhzogra: edubuntu comes with moodle?03:10
ogranext release03:21
mhzooh, so I was right. A person asked me and I said 'no' but then I felt not sure03:22
ograit was planned for breezy, but didnt make it03:23
mhzand what's the use of getting it as default app?03:23
ograask the teachers we had at the summit03:23
ograthey want it...03:23
ograas well as mediawiki03:23
mhzhehehe03:24
mhzyup, but in you opinion?03:24
ograi dont know the school CMS systems good enough to judge03:25
mhzLOL03:25
ogratechnically every app that not uses php is fine for me 03:25
mhzyou are being politician now03:25
mhzme too03:25
ograbut since there seem to be only php driven CMS for schools...03:25
mhzhmmmmmmmmmm03:26
mhzi guess there might be some python CMS or LMS out there03:26
ograso what do you expect from me... technically its crap and usability wise i cant judg03:26
ograe03:26
mhzif not, that sounds like a nice project to invest on03:26
mhzogra: hehehe03:27
ograi think schooltool is on its way03:27
mhzthat's an opinion!03:27
ograbut its not there yet, and teachers want something to use *now*03:27
mhzogra: so, is there anything you think I can help on dapper? (besides evangelising stuff)03:27
ograand since moodle is the best known one, i think it was the correct chioce03:28
mhz(you know I have no coding skills yet)03:28
mhzso far, yes03:28
ograso go on with your content project... 03:28
ogramotivate some artworkers :)03:29
mhzhehehe03:29
ograhelp testing ;)03:29
mhzI have Pablo portafolio03:29
mhzhe was very excited with just the 'far chance' to get payed a little for theming work03:30
ograwe'll have the first CDs really soon this time03:30
mhzthe only little problem with him is that I have to be wip him from time to time03:31

ogramhz, so grab something, work on it and show me the work if you want to come in the coders corner :)03:33
mhzheheh03:33
mhzi know "show me the code"03:33
mhzhence I asked.. anything I can do (not coding)?03:33
mhzwell, maybe you are right.03:33
mhzit's simple. Either you program or you do the social part03:34
ograor the conten part :)03:36
ograor the artwork part ...03:36
mhzyah03:36
ograthere is more than black and white03:36
mhzindeed03:36
mhzI slap myself for not startinglearning python before when I had the chance03:36
mhzogra: tomorrow I start participating in a very important 7 day event03:38
mhzhttp://mac.uchile.cl03:38
mhzI'll be part of the CDSL (www.cdsl.cl)03:39

mhzbut soon enough, I'll have another event (free software only related)03:39
mhzand then I'll run out of cds in a second03:40
ograheh03:40
mhzI emailed JaneSilber yesterday morning03:40
mhzand still no answer on Ubuntu Conference Pack03:41
ograi think she came back from travelling today 03:41
mhzalso, I know shipping is slow and for small amount of quatities because over 50 CDs, then Chilean Customs get very freaked out and we gotta pay expensive rates03:42
mhzso, I have no clue how to bypass this03:42
mhzogra: d'u think edupoints is ok or it should be karma?03:48
ograas you like, i think edupoints sounds good :)03:48
mhzi ask because of the contributon perspective of karma03:49
mhzI mean 100.000 edupoints would mean a lot of work03:49
mhzogra: why is that I can do ghemical /usr/share/doc/ghemical/examples/bromobenzene.gpr BUT03:59
mhzi cant do File -> Open -> /usr/...03:59
mhzi see nothing below03:59
mhzlike I had no permission03:59

mhzhi, juliux 02:26
mhzyour english is getting betta02:26
mhzjuliux: did you use the CdCoverAndSlip?02:27
juliuxmhz, until jet not, but i think we will make some edubuntu cds for the linux days at the beginning of december02:27
juliuxmhz, but only s/w02:28
mhzokidoki02:28
juliuxhehe02:28
mhzjuliux: any chances you could upload the Black and White covers you use?02:28
juliuxmhz, yes i can make02:29
mhzthis way others can also benefit from it02:29
juliuxmhz, i will try to make a cd cover for a slim case02:29
mhzI intenttionaly left the left side of the CD cover with no info, so LoCo teams could even add their own country's flag or something02:30
juliuxmhz, very good idea02:30
juliuxmhz, ubuntu/edubuntu will have a both on the next cebit!02:30
mhzjuliux: i have a problem: For my non-native english, Cd cover is the thing we stick on the CD. Cd Slip is the case/envelope cardboard stuff. Is that same for you?02:31
mhzeducool!!!02:31
juliuxmhz, for me is the cd cover what you do on the case of a cd02:31
mhzaahhhhhhh02:32
juliuxmhz,  the other on is a cd label 02:32
juliuxmhz, that is what i think02:32
mhzgood point02:32
mhzwe should ask a native one02:33
juliuxmhz, the cd label you print on the cd02:33
juliuxmhz, yes we should02:33
mhzotherwise we're gonna have very diff problems :D02:33
juliuxmhz, yes of course02:33
=== guim [n=glederer@104.241-200-80.adsl-fix.skynet.be] has joined #edubuntu
mhzok, juliux so I intentionally left the CD label left side with no info so you can add your own logo or falg :)02:34
juliuxmhz, ok02:34
mhzthat Cd label is already done in 1 color02:34
mhzso you either print it Black and White or Red and White02:34
juliuxmhz, but i will do no cd labe, i will only write with a pen on the cd02:35
mhzoh02:35
mhzwell, the CD 'cover' is white background02:36
mhzbut it wont work well for CD case02:36
juliuxmhz, because to print out a cd label is to expensive to print out cd labes 02:36
mhzideed02:37
mhzindeed02:37
=== mhz is now known as mhz_phone
=== mhz_phone is now known as mhz
juliuxmhz, so i will take the the front side from the cdandslip and will printet out and will use it as cdcover02:38
mhzgood idea02:39
mhzmaybe the world wil not look good unless you make it GreyScale02:39
juliuxmhz, this i think will printet out in color02:39
mhzoh, better!02:40
juliuxmhz, i will printet out at my ink-jet printer 02:40
mhzhow about a sticker instead of CD label?02:40
mhzwill that let the CD drive work ok?02:41
mhzI mean, I know hand writing is 'free' but it may give wrong impression to public02:41
juliuxmhz, the problem is if you stick something on the cd it can be that the data on the cd will destroyed02:41
mhzoh02:41
mhzi see02:42
juliuxso i think you shouldn't stick anything on the cd02:42
mhzgood point02:46
juliuxmhz, what we can do is we can print directly on the cd but02:47
juliuxat the moment i don't have such a printer02:47

juliuxmhz, it looks very cool i think02:53

ograhey jelkner 08:33
unimatrix9thanx for the inside08:33
jelknerand hello to you to, unimatrix908:33
jelknerogra: is this a good time for a question?08:33
ograsure08:33
unimatrix9i guess now is the time, yes08:33
unimatrix9;)08:33
jelkneri've started teaching beginner classes at a few of the edubuntu sites...08:34
jelknerwe have a need for an easy way to switch to a spanish desktop08:34
jelknerhere is what i would like:08:34
jelkner1. you make some change in some prominant place (the login screen, perhaps?)08:34
jelknertelling the system you want a spanish desktop08:35
jelkner2. after that, you get:08:35
jelkner a. spanish menus08:35
jelknerb. spanish keyboard08:35
=== arkan0x [n=arkanox@201.236.0.92] has joined #edubuntu
jelknerc. spanish openoffice08:35
ograthe language must be installed before08:36
jelknerd. spanish mozilla08:36
jelkneri did that08:36
jelkner(i think)08:36
ograthen you should be able to get a full localized desktop08:36
jelknerhow?08:36
ogranormally by selecting the language in gdm ... ldm doesnt support that yet, but its on my dapper todo list08:37
jelknerahh08:37
jelknerso we can't do it in edubuntu yet, yes?08:37
=== mauxiq [n=mauxiq@250-51-112.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu
unimatrix9he could install gdm?08:37
=== mauxiq [n=mauxiq@250-51-112.adsl.terra.cl] has left #edubuntu ["Leaving"]
ograyou could hack on ldm to read LC_ALL before forwarding the environment 08:37
jelknerunimatrix9: not with ltsp08:37
ograunimatrix9, nope08:38
ogragdm doesnt support xauth ssh forwarding ...08:38
jelknerok, i'll wait for dapper08:38
jelkneri've got 5 labs to do this with, so anything instructions that begin with "you could hack..." i rule out ;-)08:39
unimatrix9there is afcause the spanish linux distro, but i guess you already know that...08:40
jelknerunimatrix9: i probably should have installed it in spanish, but i really need both languages08:43
jelknerand i want the language to be controlled by the user08:43
unimatrix9its an very good question by the way, never thought of it before, we have the same kind of issue, so normally i would do an local thing, in my case dutch08:44
unimatrix9what i was thinkin about is maybe an option, an dual boot system, that would mean one whole install in one language and an other in english, at boot you use grub to choose...08:45
unimatrix9its just an theory08:45
ograubuntu supports 90 languages, thats not the problem08:46
ograyou can hav them all installed at the same time ...08:46
ograthe problem is that there is no way to select which language you want yet08:46
unimatrix9switching is the issue i understand08:46
ograat least from thin clients ...08:46
ogratheprobelm is to get the information which langs are supported from the server to the client, so you cant select something thats non existent ... if i would have solved this in a sfae way, we would have had it in breezy ;)08:48
unimatrix9ok08:51
unimatrix9well, got to go, happy tuxing , thanx for the caht08:51

khermansIm looking to setup Edubuntu in a small computer lab08:56
khermansneed some tips08:56
khermansit is already installed on the server08:57
khermansbut i dont know how to make clients connect and authenticate so that they can access their data from any computer in the lab, no matter what machine they log on from08:57
jelknerogra: i gotta run, oliver... we have a spare machine in the lab not doing anything in particular in the moment.09:10
jelkneris it too early to run dapper on it?09:10
ograthere are no ltsp changes packaged yet09:10
jelknerthis is a stand alone09:10
jelknernot ltsp09:11

zdziczeki have never used LTSP before09:36

ogradont miss this ^^^09:36
zdziczeki am user of Ubuntu since the beginning and Debian even longer, but I never used Edubuntu09:36
zdziczeki read it09:36
zdziczeki have a whole slew of weird machines in a lab09:36
zdziczeki want someone to be able to sit down at any machine and access their data09:37
zdziczekso, i assume this means they have to authenticate to the single Edubuntu LTSP server09:37

ograthe current ltsp in edubuntu only supports thin clients09:37
ograat least out of the box ... 09:38
ograif you want stuff like nis or ldap/kerberos, you have to set it up yourself ...09:38
zdziczekogra, well i dont really understdna ltsp09:38
=== kjcole [n=kjcole@pchb1f.gallaudet.edu] has joined #edubuntu
zdziczeki just want anyone to sit down at the machine and be able to access their ddata -- i guess these guys were using XDCMP before09:39
ograyu take some old machines without harddisk, and boot then via network ...09:39
zdziczekogra, these ones have HDD09:39
ograthe network boot starts krenel, nfs mounted root filesys and a xaserve ...09:39
ogra*xserver09:39
ograon the xserver runs a login manager that establishes a ssh tunneled x session to the server ...09:40
zdziczekok09:40
ograall user/software management happens on this server09:41
zdziczekbut these only boot from HDD or CD09:41
ograusers have their data centralized on this server ...09:41
zdziczekyes, on the Edubuntu server?09:41
ograyou can use www.rom-o-matic.com bootisos09:41
zdziczekogra, hehe was i talking to you about an all-in-one before?09:41
zdziczekthese all have different cards09:41
ograhttp://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/BootingClientsWithoutPxe09:42
ograyou can generate a iso for every card you like ;)09:43
zdziczekogra, yeah can i make an ISO with every network card?09:43
ogralook at the rom-o-matic url mentioned on the wikipage09:43
zdziczeksweet09:44
ograit has a huge amount of cards it supports09:44
zdziczeksweet, will it auto-detect on startup of the ISO?09:44
ogranoe09:44
