| Lord_Athur | hi | 12:55 |
| Lord_Athur | hey ogra UI found a problem with the font | 12:56 |
| Lord_Athur | I saw espaol instead of espaol, and I was talking with a ubuntu user | 12:57 |
| Lord_Athur | can this be possible? I know that there can be problems with a windows user & a linuxer | 12:59 |
| ogra | try: | 12:59 |
| ogra | echo $LANG | 12:59 |
| Lord_Athur | $LANG | 01:00 |
| Lord_Athur | 01:00 | |
| Lord_Athur | where do I put the word? | 01:00 |
| ogra | just copy and pate it to a terminal window, hit enter and pate the output here | 01:00 |
| ogra | *paste | 01:00 |
| Lord_Athur | look at: | 01:02 |
| Lord_Athur | NAOMY:/home/alejandro# $LANG | 01:02 |
| Lord_Athur | bash: es_CL: command not found | 01:02 |
| Lord_Athur | NAOMY:/home/alejandro# | 01:02 |
| ogra | for me it looks like this: | 01:02 |
| ogra | ogra@honk:~/devel/ltsp/main $ echo $LANG | 01:02 |
| ogra | de_DE.UTF-8 | 01:02 |
| ogra | you forgot echo | 01:02 |
| Lord_Athur | jajaja | 01:03 |
| Lord_Athur | ok | 01:03 |
| Lord_Athur | NAOMY:/home/alejandro# echo $LANG | 01:04 |
| Lord_Athur | es_CL | 01:04 |
| Lord_Athur | NAOMY:/home/alejandro# | 01:04 |
| ogra | thats wrong ... | 01:04 |
| ogra | it should have an UTF-8 suffix | 01:04 |
| ogra | else the encoding doesnt work | 01:04 |
| Lord_Athur | remember I'm using debian today | 01:05 |
| ogra | and you get things like espaol instead of espaol | 01:05 |
| ogra | then debians UTF-8 handling is broken it seems | 01:05 |
| Lord_Athur | mmm | 01:06 |
| Lord_Athur | :( | 01:06 |
| Lord_Athur | can I do anything to put the UFT-8 in order? | 01:08 |
| ogra | there is a command to do it in debian, but i forgot which one ... | 01:09 |
| Lord_Athur | mmm | 01:09 |
| Lord_Athur | ok | 01:09 |
| ogra | dpkg-reconfigure loacles | 01:09 |
| ogra | would be a blind guess ... | 01:09 |
| Lord_Athur | ok | 01:10 |
| Lord_Athur | thanks | 01:10 |
| ogra | err locales | 01:11 |
| Lord_Athur | I did not found the cl_es locales | 01:12 |
| ogra | es_cl ? | 01:12 |
| Lord_Athur | mmm | 01:12 |
| Lord_Athur | maybe it was es_cl instead of cl_es | 01:13 |
| Lord_Athur | xD | 01:13 |
| ogra | first the lang, then the country :) | 01:13 |
| ogra | i.e. for german there is de_DE, de_AT, de_CH | 01:13 |
| Lord_Athur | what local may be my default? | 01:14 |
| Lord_Athur | es_cl or es_cl.utf-8? | 01:14 |
| ogra | es_CL.UTF-8 should be it, but i'm not sure about debian | 01:14 |
| Lord_Athur | ok | 01:14 |
| ogra | i looked at it 2 years ago lst time | 01:14 |
| Lord_Athur | I put the es_cl.ut .... | 01:14 |
| ogra | it might have changed | 01:14 |
| Lord_Athur | not very much | 01:15 |
| Lord_Athur | can I ask something in Spanish? | 01:21 |
| Lord_Athur | in the Spanish channels nobody answer | 01:21 |
| ogra | sure, but i wont understand it :) | 01:21 |
| Lord_Athur | jajja | 01:21 |
| Lord_Athur | what programs of "diseo" do you know? | 01:22 |
| ogra | i could telly you if i knew what diseo is | 01:24 |
| Lord_Athur | what programs of Graphical design you know? | 01:25 |
| ogra | inkscape and gimp are my favorites | 01:26 |
| Lord_Athur | ok | 01:27 |
| ogra | gimp for pictures, inkscape for drawigs ... and dia for diagrams | 01:28 |
| Lord_Athur | thanks ogra | 01:32 |
| ogra | youre welcome :) | 01:33 |

| Lord_Athur | can this programs read files made in windows? | 01:33 |
| ogra | depends in which format you saved there | 01:34 |

| jsgotangco | hey you two (mhz, zakame ) | 07:16 |
| mhz | mr. jsgotangco hi there. I hope you have started your week with lots of fun games and users requests | 07:17 |
| zakame | heya jsgotangco :) | 07:17 |

| mhz | oh, yes! | 07:17 |
| jsgotangco | mhz, im getting tired of travelling already, i might go to brisbane next week | 07:17 |
| mhz | was it good? will we have more edubunteros? | 07:17 |
| jsgotangco | mhz, it was a ubuntu-centric | 07:18 |
| mhz | jsgotangco: well, I wake up and get nothing to do, so you can send me to brisbane :) | 07:18 |
| zakame | what's in brisbane? | 07:18 |
| jsgotangco | zakame, work | 07:18 |
| jsgotangco | (and a redhat office) | 07:19 |

| JaneW | highvoltage: busy with ubuntu | 07:41 |
| JaneW | highvoltage: don;t have as much time to chat ;) | 07:41 |
| highvoltage | JaneW: aaah. Exciting stuff, eh? | 07:53 |

| dabaR | would the ltsp mostly be used with one higher end and several lower end PCs? Is there a plan to create a live CD version? | 08:04 |
| highvoltage | for ltsp, you only need low-end pc's for the workstations, and one powerful server for the ltsp server. | 08:08 |
| highvoltage | increasing the cpu power on one or more thin clients won't have an effect on the other thin clients, ie. it doesn't work as a cluster of some sorts. | 08:08 |
| dabaR | OK. | 08:13 |
| dabaR | so as strong the server is. | 08:14 |
| highvoltage | the specifications of the server determine how much workstations you can add, yes. | 08:19 |

| dabaR | OK, sounds good. I wonder whether a live CD is in plan. I bet it is not high priority. | 08:24 |
| brycer22 | a live cd would be a good idea | 08:24 |
| brycer22 | you could go around schools demonstrating etc | 08:24 |
| dabaR | but probably not a high priority, cause the edubuntu project I suppose is most popular in Africa now? | 08:25 |
| dabaR | the ? symbolizes that I am not sure of what I said, and would like feedback. | 08:25 |
| brycer22 | it is also popular in macedonia | 08:27 |

| dabaR | no, I mean, inn places that do not have lots of money for windows licences, so they just install the OS anyhow. | 08:34 |
| brycer22 | yeh | 08:34 |
| dabaR | they dont have much of a choice, and windows shopping options with live CDs. you can always boot ubuntu, and install edubuntu-desktop, I guess. | 08:34 |
| highvoltage | dabaR: sorry, busy with other work too ;) | 08:35 |
| dabaR | no need to be sorry, I am also chatting with a buicnh of other people at #ubuntu. | 08:35 |
| dabaR | but, I mean, like you said, a live CD would definitely popularize it. even as a CD that is a cool "game" for kids. they boot it, and have games, and so on. | 08:36 |
| highvoltage | live CD is probably plausable, but LTSP running from a CD isn't really, it's too disc intensive. | 08:36 |
| dabaR | Yeah, I am more interested like I said in giving the live edubuntu live CD to kids, their moms and dads, as an educational CD, with some cool games, drawing programms, and so on(I don't really know many programs in edubuntu.) that they can just boot into, and have a whole new operating system. Ah, yes, the joys of a live CD:) | 08:40 |
| brycer22 | Would edubuntu be suitable for preschoolers? | 08:41 |
| konfuzed | I just sat an article on slashdot notein gthat edubuntu is excellent for ages 7 to 12 | 08:45 |
| dabaR | sure. there is fun drawing programs for them, cool games like the gcompris. | 08:45 |
| dabaR | it is suitable for kids all ages, that can use a computer. | 08:45 |
| highvoltage | brycer22: there are some tools that are nice for pre-schoolers, they would still need some adult supervision, imo. | 08:45 |
| dabaR | I would say | 08:45 |
| highvoltage | things like potato guy and gcompris are pre-school-friendly | 08:46 |
| dabaR | off course, it is a team game, hopefully:) | 08:46 |
| konfuzed | but my 4.6 year old daughter does like those penguin games | 08:46 |
| brycer22 | ok, because I know someone who works at a preschool with an old-ish (2001) computer, that they can't afford to buy windows for | 08:46 |
| konfuzed | 2001 computers should have no problem running xp but linux is still better | 08:47 |
| === robitaille [n=robitail@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| dabaR | GNU/Linux is better, ya. | 08:52 |
| dabaR | and its not about the price for me, I dont pay for windows annyhow. | 08:52 |
| dabaR | except once:( | 08:53 |
| dabaR | you have to pay foor windows if you buy a premade computer. | 08:53 |
| brycer22 | windows is one of the things i don't pirate | 08:53 |
| konfuzed | i give edubuntu discs to everyone who asks my assistance to find or but them a computer | 08:54 |
| konfuzed | well for any one related to teaching and for young people | 08:55 |
| konfuzed | others get ubuntu | 08:55 |
| konfuzed | unless there psycology reuqires more MS Windoz looking style | 08:56 |
| brycer22 | you could write letters to local School Departments | 08:56 |
| brycer22 | or Indenpendant Schools, they aren't usually bound by 'Regulations' | 08:56 |
| konfuzed | the they get kubuntu | 08:58 |
| konfuzed | its seems i have a finger impedemnet tongiht | 08:59 |
| dabaR | hehe. you know what they say. rdebale | 09:00 |
| dabaR | or somethins | 09:00 |
| konfuzed | variety of reasons | 09:06 |
| konfuzed | most people are asking me because they have no or next to no budget | 09:06 |
| konfuzed | some time ago I decided to charge people by the hour for installing windoz and locking it down to be safe on the net and putting in mozilla to secure against microsft problems and the like | 09:08 |
| konfuzed | and tell them to come up with their own copy | 09:08 |
| konfuzed | go find it or go buy it | 09:08 |
| konfuzed | to install xp and do all that extra like office and other crap is waste of at least 5 hours | 09:10 |
| konfuzed | sometimes 10 | 09:10 |
| konfuzed | if they have stupid problems or must have software setups | 09:10 |
| konfuzed | then if they trip over some inane software thats windoz only | 09:12 |
| === dabaR has been there:) | ||
| konfuzed | I show them how to install it on edubuntu | 09:12 |
| konfuzed | at worst case scenario they learn how to install win98 on ubuntu | 09:13 |
| konfuzed | i suppose XP is it really got that bad for one die hard app | 09:13 |
| konfuzed | s/is/it | 09:14 |
| konfuzed | that one had to be corrected | 09:14 |
| konfuzed | s/is/if | 09:14 |
| konfuzed | twice even | 09:14 |
| dabaR | s/got/has | 09:15 |
| dabaR | s/is/if | 09:15 |
| dabaR | s/it/they and then the verb subject dont match so you have to go again | 09:15 |
| konfuzed | i suppose XP, if it really got that bad for one die hard app | 09:16 |
| konfuzed | i suppose XP, if it really got that bad, for one die hard app | 09:16 |
| konfuzed | ok so now I can admit to taking 9 or 10 high school english course and only walking away with 4 credits | 09:17 |
| konfuzed | ;^) | 09:17 |
| dabaR | heh | 09:18 |
| dabaR | and we will believe you. | 09:18 |
| konfuzed | which is fine because now we ve just started pitching new systems to teachers cause the school board authorized $500 bucks | 09:18 |
| konfuzed | ea | 09:18 |
| konfuzed | but they have to get it themselves | 09:18 |
| konfuzed | but only if they co-ordinate themselves and actually submit the invoice and forms | 09:19 |
| dabaR | its not too hard to get a decent system for $500, eh? | 09:20 |
| konfuzed | not in canada | 09:20 |
| konfuzed | I set my buddy up as a hardware retailer | 09:20 |
| konfuzed | I can get em for less than 400 no monitor | 09:21 |
| konfuzed | amd 64 2600 - 512ram -80gig-7.1 or better audio and gig lan with built in wild graphics | 09:21 |
| konfuzed | gamers can then go and spend 2 to 400 on a gamer card | 09:22 |
| konfuzed | before the teachers started askin | 09:24 |
| konfuzed | i set up moodle to run as a conert hall with live performance events streamed in audio or video | 09:24 |
| konfuzed | I was so pleased to see moodle available in synaptic | 09:25 |
| dabaR | why the heck would a school need such a system? | 09:25 |
| konfuzed | just the thing for these teachers | 09:25 |
| konfuzed | http://moodle.org | 09:25 |
| dabaR | I mean, wha tyou described is stronger than my main computer by several points. | 09:26 |
| konfuzed | its compliant for use at universities | 09:26 |
| dabaR | there is a university compliance for systems? | 09:26 |
| konfuzed | oh well thats pretty near the bottom of what I can get for new | 09:26 |
| konfuzed | on SCORM is a grading system in use by universities in europe | 09:27 |
| konfuzed | and some other palces I think | 09:27 |
| konfuzed | I could probably chop off another 50 to 75 and give them new garbage | 09:28 |
| konfuzed | but I would like these boxes to be upgradable in 5 years | 09:28 |
| konfuzed | so i try to get them socket 939 | 09:29 |
| konfuzed | mostly for drool factor in 3 years | 09:29 |
| konfuzed | when dual core is a cheal upgrade | 09:29 |
| konfuzed | ;^) | 09:30 |
| konfuzed | well im crashin | 09:31 |
| konfuzed | ciao | 09:31 |
| dabaR | bye | 09:32 |
| konfuzed | but first | 09:33 |
| konfuzed | go check this out http://www.bwgen.com/presets.htm | 09:33 |
| konfuzed | I gotta get it to run in ed/ubuntu | 09:33 |
| konfuzed | has any one come across any other applied audio harmonics for linux | 09:34 |
| konfuzed | not music writing | 09:34 |
| dabaR | no idea. | 09:34 |
| konfuzed | that resonance stuff is neato | 09:35 |

| mhz | hmmm, don't know but I do know that sound issues are considered for dapper | 01:17 |
| mhz | current 5.10 does not support sound | 01:17 |
| mherweg | ok , thanks | 01:18 |
| mhz | np | 01:18 |
| mhz | mherweg: are you using edubuntu already? | 01:18 |
| mherweg | no. i'm downloading it right now | 01:18 |
| mhz | cool | 01:19 |
| mherweg | did u ever think about "lessdisks" instead of ltsp ? | 01:19 |
| mhz | what is lessdisk? | 01:19 |
| mhz | (that tells you i did not think of it :) ) | 01:19 |
| mhz | mherweg: the Mr. Edubuntu here is ogra | 01:19 |
| === spacey doesnt know it either, | ||
| spacey | mherweg, link to project? | 01:20 |
| mherweg | http://lessdisks.sourceforge.net/ | 01:20 |
| mhz | He did all based on what a group of people suggested him to do | 01:20 |
| mhz | spacey: hi | 01:20 |
| ogra | mherweg, nope | 01:20 |
| ogra | its mentioned in the ltsp packages though ... | 01:20 |
| spacey | mhz, morning :) | 01:21 |
| === spacey gonna try and fix up willow now | ||
| === mhz yaaawwwning | ||
| mhz | mherweg: i dont see much activity in that project. any ideas why? | 01:25 |
| === mhz based his coment on sourceforge stats. | ||
| ogra | mhz, its not completely inactive and you can use it as an ltsp alternative ... | 01:26 |
| spacey | last update june 2005 | 01:27 |
| spacey | mhz | 01:27 |
| mhz | ogra: yup, I was reading about it. FreeGeek is very similar to what we try to do here in Chile with Tecnocimiento | 01:27 |
| spacey | ogra, where does it differ, different chroot for the thinclient? | 01:27 |
| mherweg | mhz: lessdisks is a one/two man show. I did use it in one project. scolelinux is thinking of using it for diskless workstations | 01:27 |
| === P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@201.240.163.143] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| mherweg | i think its not so good documented as LTSP but itis much easier to integrate local apps | 01:28 |
| spacey | ogra, does willow work for at all? :P | 01:28 |
| mhz | mherweg: yup, June is somewhat 'not much activity', however, it seems 'hited' every day | 01:28 |
| ogra | spacey, it works fine for me | 01:28 |
| spacey | can you send me your willow.conf ?;/ | 01:29 |
| ogra | spacey, i use the default one ... | 01:29 |
| ogra | http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5456 | 01:30 |
| ogra | just adjusted the paths | 01:30 |
| spacey | oh wait | 01:31 |
| ogra | enabling the webinterface would be tricky and require a lot of pam hacking, thats hy i will drop it first place | 01:31 |
| spacey | already got it running i think | 01:31 |
| spacey | but last time the webinterface had some internal errors | 01:32 |
| ogra | thats why i dont want it, the filtering works fine though ... | 01:32 |
| ogra | and since we'll run on the server anyway, its fine with a pygtk gui | 01:32 |
| spacey | thing is when you run it on a router and not on local edubuntu machine | 01:33 |
| spacey | then pygtk gui is not really convienant | 01:33 |
| ogra | we dont :) | 01:33 |
| spacey | yeah | 01:33 |
| spacey | but the package will be in main right | 01:33 |
| spacey | so | 01:33 |
| spacey | if some normal ubuntu user would try it out | 01:33 |
| ogra | if you have the skills to set up a router, you canalso maintain squidguard | 01:33 |
| spacey | i think it should be possible to have a working webthingy | 01:34 |
| === jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| spacey | squidguard? | 01:34 |
| spacey | but squid sucks :P | 01:34 |
| ogra | i dont want to hack up pam ... | 01:34 |
| ogra | especially since i think its not easy to get the willow requirements in in a non intrusive way | 01:34 |
| mhz | mherweg: so, in what env. are you planning to run Edubuntu? | 01:35 |
| jsgotangco | good evening edubunteros =) | 01:35 |
| spacey | ogra, what requirements are you hinting at? | 01:36 |
| ogra | spacey, read the docs, it needs pam auth for the web interface and a fine grained user/group management | 01:36 |
| ogra | its not my target at all | 01:36 |
| spacey | yeah ok i read that | 01:37 |
| spacey | but pam is not that abnormal | 01:37 |
| ogra | we wont get it into main r on the CD i think ... | 01:37 |
| spacey | hmm | 01:37 |
| ogra | thats why i want to keep it as simple as possible ... | 01:37 |
| spacey | well universe would be fine as well | 01:37 |
| ogra | nope | 01:37 |
| ogra | then i dont want it | 01:37 |
| spacey | hmm ok | 01:38 |
| spacey | we'll i'll fiddle around with it a bit first | 01:38 |
| ogra | i want a solution for the content filtering for this release, if we wait we can write a tool to manage squidguard as well | 01:38 |
| mherweg | mhz: a primary school: 1 server , 12 terminals | 01:39 |
| mhz | mherweg: educool | 01:39 |
| ogra | its a fine short term solution ... if you find a ubuntu compliant way for the pam stuff, fine ... but dont put to much time into it | 01:39 |
| ogra | we only have 6 weeks left | 01:39 |
| mhz | mherweg: currently running LTSP? | 01:39 |
| ogra | getting the packaging right to have a "transparent by default mode" will be time consuming enough | 01:40 |
| spacey | yeah, actually i have no idea how your imagine that transparent by default | 01:41 |
| mherweg | mhz_ in this school: no linux so far. in other projects: yes, many LTSP and one lessdisks | 01:41 |
| mhz | mherweg: are you member of FreeGeek? | 01:42 |
| mherweg | no, what's that ? | 01:43 |
| mherweg | url ? | 01:44 |
| mhz | mherweg: oh, i thought you were, they are a very cool org. and AFAIK, they are behind lessdisk | 01:44 |
| mhz | http://freegeek.org/ | 01:45 |
| ogra | spacey, having a /etc/default/willow file with the setting on or off and setting the iptables rule in the initscript if ts set ... the setting in /etc/default is set by debconf, so you can dpkg-reconfigure willow to switch it on or off | 01:45 |
| ogra | the default will be on ... | 01:46 |
| Seveas | mhz, you were not approved yet - mako couldn't vote | 01:46 |
| Seveas | mhz, mako would read logs and vote later, I guess he didn't do that yet so we should poke him at the CC meeting :) | 01:46 |
| mhz | Seveas: afaik, mako did said that he was ok with everyone else's decision | 01:46 |
| Seveas | yeah, he'll give you a +1 | 01:47 |
| ogra | Seveas, mhz sent several mails already ... its a bit inconvenient ... | 01:47 |
| Seveas | we'll just have to poke him to do so :) | 01:47 |
| mhz | ok | 01:49 |
| spacey | ogra, still have to configure proxy settings in your software right? | 01:50 |
| ogra | nope | 01:50 |
| ogra | not if the server is the default gw for the clients | 01:50 |
| spacey | hmmm | 01:50 |
| spacey | ogra, so it intercepts traffic? | 01:51 |
| ogra | the iptables rule will remap port 80 to 8000 then | 01:51 |
| ogra | (or whatever port you choose) | 01:51 |
| spacey | hmm | 01:51 |
| spacey | i wondered if that worked | 01:51 |
| spacey | but it apparently it does | 01:51 |
| spacey | tested it? | 01:52 |
| ogra | sure | 01:52 |
| ogra | why shouldnt that work ? | 01:52 |
| spacey | i guessed it would mess up the tcp communication between end and client | 01:52 |
| ogra | thats how transparent proxies work since ages | 01:52 |
| spacey | yeah ok | 01:52 |
| spacey | but didn't read anything about transparency in willow docs | 01:52 |
| ogra | you run it on your GW | 01:52 |
| ogra | the transparency isnt done by willow | 01:53 |
| ogra | its done by the remapping of port 80 on the GW (in our case the server) | 01:53 |
| ogra | willow just works as ususal | 01:53 |
| spacey | hmmm ok interesting | 01:53 |
| spacey | i will certainly give that a try | 01:53 |
| ogra | iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8000 | 01:54 |
| ogra | thats all you need | 01:54 |
| ogra | (on the GW) | 01:54 |
| ogra | it will hand over all http packages to port 8000, whatever sits there | 01:55 |
| spacey | kk | 01:56 |
| ogra | (you could also put a apache there and fake all websites for example) | 01:56 |
| ogra | or use apache in proxy mode ... | 01:56 |
| spacey | i'll see how well that willow performs | 01:56 |
| spacey | with more then 50 users | 01:57 |
| ogra | yup, i didnt do any performance tests yes | 01:57 |

| spacey | "Edubuntu thinks this site is not suitable for you little boy" | 02:21 |
| ogra | yup | 02:25 |
| spacey | Maybe we also want that in the selected language but not sure if thats easy to do | 02:25 |

| BenC | hey guys | 02:28 |
| BenC | is there anything like a website block where I can add sites (whitelist) on edubuntu? | 02:28 |
| ogra | BenC, lol | 02:32 |
| BenC | ogra: stop following me :P | 02:32 |
| ogra | thats funny, we're just playing with willow | 02:32 |
| BenC | cool, any packages to test? | 02:33 |
| ogra | http://www.digitallumber.net/software/willow/ | 02:33 |
| ogra | not yet | 02:33 |
| BenC | does it work with firefox? | 02:33 |
| ogra | i want to package it with a transparent by default mode, just mailed mdz the concept | 02:33 |
| ogra | sure | 02:33 |
| ogra | the cool thing is that it uses bayesian filtering as base (urllist black/whitelisting too indeed) | 02:34 |
| ogra | so it just learns based on content ;) | 02:35 |
| BenC | so you can configure it to block everything and then add sites you want to be ok? | 02:38 |
| ogra | hmm, i havent looked at it from this side yet ... rather the other way around ... | 02:39 |
| ogra | sounds like you want squidguard or dansguardian then | 02:39 |

| === mhz will delete that then | ||
| jsgotangco | mhz, the CDs are valued at .30 that is where they base the customs tax | 03:24 |
| jsgotangco | some customs ignore it, some use it for valuation | 03:24 |
| mhz | indeed, but they say it is sub-valued, which means they dont trust us | 03:25 |
| jsgotangco | you might want to look for marilize, she sometimes roam in the -devel channel | 03:25 |
| jsgotangco | mhz, CDs are cheap really | 03:25 |
| mhz | yup, but it is customs decision (in Chile, to charge whatever they think it is reasonable) | 03:25 |
| mhz | :( | 03:25 |

| mhz | jsgotangco: yup, thats my point... they charge whatever they feel like | 03:49 |
| jsgotangco | that's your country's customs issue and canonical is in no way to influence how your customs charge a .30 cd | 03:49 |
| mhz | i know, ok. I was just asking for a kind of letter or something that emphatizes the nature of the package, that it is not meant to do business | 03:50 |

| zakame | hi all | 05:08 |
| ogra | K_Dallas, not for the released version ... the dev version should have a liveCD before ednt of the week if you like to test it | 05:09 |
| K_Dallas | of course, i would be looking forward to | 05:10 |
| K_Dallas | would it be announced on the webpage? | 05:11 |
| ogra | on the mailing list normally, but the webpage is a good idea ... | 05:11 |
| K_Dallas | great, i will have an eye on it. thanks Oge_ | 05:12 |
| K_Dallas | oops | 05:12 |

| K_Dallas | i was reading some of the posts here. http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/2619 | 05:13 |

| K_Dallas | http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/edubuntu/livecd | 05:14 |
| ogra | wow, nice :) | 05:16 |
| K_Dallas | i was wondering if edubuntu going to adopt kde instead of gnome. most of the programs i know of for education purposes are based on kde if not all of them | 05:20 |
| K_Dallas | and kde is probably has a more familiar face for students who are used to windows | 05:21 |
| ogra | nope, but there are some people thinking about making a community project | 05:21 |
| K_Dallas | i see | 05:21 |
| K_Dallas | i am personally glad that ubuntu is gnome oriented but projects should also look into the clients diversity and background, imho | 05:22 |
| ogra | as long as i develop edubuntu alone it will stay gnome based, i simply have no idea abut kde and no ambition to learn it... additionally i can rely on my colleagues to help me out, our kde development is also done by only on person | 05:22 |

| Absorto | Hello! | 06:19 |
| Absorto | How can I use KDM thru XDMCP when in LTSP? | 06:20 |
| === mhz_lunch BBS | ||
| Absorto | I tried using SCREEN_0 = startx but that doesn't work. | 06:21 |
| Absorto | In fact, i think I'm having some other problem since I tried to Xnest -query kdmhost and that didn't work either. | 06:21 |
| Absorto | The Xnest window just flickers and says "Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!" over and over. | 06:22 |
| Absorto | I modified /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc to enable xdmcp and Xaccess to allow logins from any host. | 06:23 |
| Absorto | Any clues? | 06:23 |
| Absorto | oh, i apt-got kubuntu-desktop and chose kdm. The local X server displays kdm just fine. | 06:24 |
| spacey | uhm | 06:40 |
| spacey | just enable xdmcp in the xserver | 06:40 |
| spacey | enable tcp | 06:40 |
| spacey | in x | 06:40 |
| spacey | and | 06:40 |
| Absorto | where do I enable tcp? | 06:41 |
| spacey | hack the thinclient a bit | 06:41 |
| spacey | not sure where that flag suppose to be in ubuntu | 06:41 |
| spacey | might be in the script that starts X or some config | 06:41 |
| spacey | however all that stuff is not supported | 06:42 |
| Absorto | i enabled xdmcp in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc | 06:42 |
| spacey | because we want to it run over ssh by default | 06:42 |
| spacey | i don't use ide | 06:42 |
| spacey | kde | 06:42 |
| Absorto | over ssh by default? thats how ldm does it? | 06:43 |
| ogra | yes | 06:43 |
| Absorto | awesome! | 06:43 |
| Absorto | does edubuntu run some sort of iptables script? could it be firewall related? | 06:44 |
| ogra | nope | 06:44 |
| ogra | the ubuntu Xserver simply is made more secure ... tcp is disabled generally | 06:45 |
| ogra | ho open ports policy .... | 06:45 |
| ogra | s/ho/no/ | 06:45 |
| ogra | look if your X runs with the --nolisten-tcp option ...if it does, you need to hack kdm ... | 06:46 |
| Absorto | ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp in kdmrc! let's see | 06:47 |
| Absorto | nope, that wasn't it. | 06:47 |
| ogra | you need to hack ltsp client too, ldm wont let you use something else than ssh tunneled connections | 06:48 |
| Absorto | ogra, I want to use kdm instead of ldm. I think I should debug kdm first, and then use SCREEN_0 = startx. | 06:49 |
| ogra | so you need to make sure ldm isnt started and install say GDM or KDM in the chroot | 06:49 |
| Absorto | I'm trying to connect to kdm from a Xnest client/server first. | 06:49 |
| spacey | that should always work | 06:49 |
| spacey | even when tcp is disabled | 06:50 |
| ogra | also see http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLtsConfParams for supported options ... | 06:50 |
| spacey | afiak | 06:50 |
| ogra | not everything is supported yet (SCREEN_0 is though) | 06:50 |
| Absorto | well, i read /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/startx, it says it shoud run a local X server on the client with a -query parameter, precisely to connect via xdmcp | 06:50 |
| Absorto | but before I debug the thinclient i should be able to conect to kdm from other x servers, right? | 06:51 |
| ogra | yup | 06:51 |
| ogra | does your processlist agree that X isnt running the --nolisten option anymore ? | 06:52 |
| ogra | afaik KDM is very buggy in this area | 06:52 |
| ogra | i'd suggest GDM, even for KDE | 06:52 |
| Absorto | well, i just checked from a running kde setup and it includes --nolisten tcp | 06:54 |
| Absorto | so i think that isn't related | 06:54 |

| JayAllen | I just found a setup program for it - I'm going to try compiling and running it. | 07:18 |
| JayAllen | There's a special setup for the 3c5x9 cards from 3com. We'll see if that does the trick. | 07:18 |
| ogra | first look if the module loads with sudo modprobe 3c59x | 07:20 |
| ogra | there normally is no NIC apart from proprietary ones that doesnt work in ubuntu/edubuntu | 07:20 |

| ogra | what does dmesg say, is the interface mentioned in the last lines after the modprobe ? | 07:31 |
| ogra | i have uch a card aroud somewhere, it always worked out of the box | 07:31 |
| JayAllen | lemme check | 07:31 |
| JayAllen | Huh. The log says pnp found the device, identified its MAC address and IRQ (5), and loaded the associated 3c509 driver. | 07:34 |
| ogra | sudo ifup eth0 ? | 07:35 |

| ogra | ? | 07:42 |
| ogra | http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes | 07:43 |
| JayAllen | It didn't detect the card at boot - I had no chance to. LTSP install failed later on, after the system failed to find the net card | 07:45 |
| ogra | hmm, strange ... i never saw probs with 3com cards | 07:46 |
| ogra | did you want a sevr install ? | 07:46 |
| JayAllen | It worked fine under the previous Windows XP install. It's odd. It's not like it's John and Pat's Discount Ethernet Card or anything. | 07:46 |
| JayAllen | I'm doing a review of Edubuntu for BloggingBaby.com, a parenting blog I co-manage. I went through the defaults, thinking most non-tech-savvy parents would do likewise. | 07:47 |
| JayAllen | I might try and reinstall using workstation and see if that makes a difference. | 07:48 |
| ogra | its advised to read the InstallNotes before ... i sadly couldnt add all auto generation features, edubuntu is a one man show and had only 2 months development time and 1 month bugfixing time | 07:48 |
| JayAllen | Totally understood. :) | 07:49 |
| JayAllen | I might try the workstation install and see if that changes things. | 07:49 |
| ogra | but that the card isnt found by the installer is pretty unusual | 07:49 |
| JayAllen | It looks from the logs like it can find it - it just can't use it, for whatever reason... | 07:51 |
| ogra | thats pretty weird ... | 07:52 |
| JayAllen | No, workstation pre-install doesn't detect the 3com card either. | 07:55 |
| JayAllen | So I'll stick with this install and just try and figure this crap out. I might switch the card to see if it makes the problem go away. | 07:56 |
| ogra | most likely it will go away | 07:57 |
| JayAllen | I can only hope. | 07:58 |
| ogra | youre the first with this prob ... afaik | 07:59 |
| ogra | AHA ! | 07:59 |
| ogra | http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16874 | 07:59 |
| ogra | its a kernel bug :) | 08:00 |
| ogra | affects redhat too apparently ... | 08:00 |
| JayAllen | checking now... | 08:08 |
| JayAllen | So can I just set acpi=off? Where do I do that? | 08:11 |
| ogra | at the CD bootprompt you type: linux acpi=off | 08:12 |
| BenC | JayAllen: also, it's fixed in dapper kernel, so if you can do an install, and then upgrade to dapper kernel (or wait a few days for dapper flight 2 cd's), then you should be ok | 08:14 |

| JayAllen | Ok, sounds good. | 08:18 |
| JayAllen | Thanks for the help! | 08:18 |
| ogra | JayAllen, youre welcome, come back if you have more questions :) | 08:18 |
| JayAllen | Hm. Actually, booting with linux acpi=off doesn't detect the card during pre-install either. :-( | 08:19 |
| JayAllen | Screw it.It's less work at this point to switch the card out. | 08:19 |

| unimatrix9 | hi there | 09:34 |
| unimatrix9 | i read somewhere that its also possible to install ubuntu and then the edubuntu desktop on top? | 09:35 |
| ogra | yup | 09:35 |
| unimatrix9 | ok, so i got ubuntu 5.10 | 09:35 |
| unimatrix9 | can i download the edubuntu desktop somewhere and put it on cdrom? | 09:35 |
| ogra | not really, it has dependencys ... | 09:36 |
| unimatrix9 | hmm, so it would be better ,after all, to just install edubuntu straight away, right? | 09:36 |
| ogra | then i'd reather go for the edubuntu iso ... instaed of fiddling with single packages | 09:36 |
| ogra | if you have an online connection or the edubuntu CD handy its no prob to install edubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu though ... | 09:37 |
| ogra | edubuntu is develped inside of ubuntu... | 09:37 |
| ogra | *developed | 09:37 |
| unimatrix9 | so , maybe, (theory) i could install ubuntu and add media with edubuntu cdrom? | 09:38 |
| ogra | yup, for example | 09:38 |
| unimatrix9 | this way i would have more choices for packages.. | 09:39 |
| unimatrix9 | its for an school , but no internet acces | 09:39 |
| unimatrix9 | bit of a problem.... | 09:39 |

| unimatrix9 | any way thanx for the info | 09:41 |
| blue-frog | there is a dvd | 09:41 |
| unimatrix9 | really, oh, did not know that... | 09:42 |
| blue-frog | unimatrix9, do you have access to a laptop otherwise? | 09:42 |
| ogra | there is even a edubuntu dvd :) | 09:43 |
| ogra | chevy, ? | 09:43 |
| chevy | yep | 09:44 |
| ogra | just ask your questions, no need to ask if you may ask :) | 09:44 |
| chevy | its a couple of problems, ethernet (3Com) and sound (Creative) | 09:44 |
| chevy | during install the ethernet card isnt recognised . . | 09:45 |
| ogra | hmm, 3vcom day today | 09:45 |
| ogra | *3com | 09:45 |
| chevy | it said something about no ethernet but a firewire interface (i dont have firewire btw) | 09:45 |
| unimatrix9 | yes | 09:45 |
| ogra | i didnt eve know about the prob until today, youre the second guy having it during 2h | 09:45 |
| chevy | after install/logging in i looked up network setup and no ethernet present | 09:46 |
| chevy | device manager has nothing | 09:46 |
| ogra | thats a kernel bug that affects all distros it seems http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16874 | 09:46 |
| chevy | lspci does not list any ethernet card | 09:46 |
| chevy | i had mandrake installed on the same PC until yesterday and it worked fine . .same kernel | 09:47 |
| chevy | (i think) !! | 09:47 |
| ogra | see the bugreport | 09:47 |
| chevy | looking | 09:48 |
| chevy | tks | 09:48 |
| chevy | i'll try that. on to problem #2 | 09:49 |
| ogra | might be related :) | 09:49 |
| chevy | creative soundblaster not recognised as no sound coming out | 09:50 |
| chevy | ah | 09:50 |
| ogra | hwats wrong with your sound | 09:50 |
| ogra | hmm | 09:50 |
| ogra | lsmod |grep snd ? | 09:50 |
| ogra | does that give any output ? | 09:50 |
| chevy | booting up now . .i'll post the results in a mo | 09:50 |
| unimatrix9 | creative soundblaster, should be fine | 09:50 |
| ogra | paste to pastebin ... | 09:50 |
| unimatrix9 | with alsa | 09:50 |
| ogra | (see /topic) | 09:50 |
| ogra | yes, it should .... | 09:51 |
| ogra | but if there are acpi probs already it might be related | 09:51 |

| ogra | es, that helps ... | 09:53 |
| ogra | *yes | 09:53 |
| unimatrix9 | ok, for school i go for the ubuntu install and the edubuntu as added media, i can then choose edubuntu desktop as package ? | 09:56 |
| unimatrix9 | or would it be better the other way round? | 09:56 |
| ogra | both is fine | 09:56 |
| ogra | the edubuntu CD contains ubuntu plus the edubuntu content ... | 09:57 |
| ogra | and some changes to the installer | 09:57 |
| unimatrix9 | ok, but there is an package called edubuntu? that i can install , or how is it called? | 09:57 |
| ogra | edubuntu-desktop | 09:58 |
| unimatrix9 | thats clear thank you for your time... | 09:58 |
| ogra | (which pulls in all the edu apps and edubuntu-artwork | 09:58 |
| unimatrix9 | very fine! :p | 09:58 |
| ogra | you can use the edubuntu CD, do a "server" install and install ubuntu-desktop afterwards | 09:59 |
| ogra | so you could go with one media ... | 09:59 |
| ogra | http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes | 09:59 |
| ogra | server is the minimal install (i'll rename it to "core" for the next release to avoid confusion) | 10:00 |
| unimatrix9 | ok | 10:01 |
| unimatrix9 | i read the page | 10:02 |
| unimatrix9 | have read it.... | 10:02 |
| chevy | unimatrix - it is a PII-233 | 10:02 |
| unimatrix9 | ah, and sound works? | 10:03 |

| ogra | hmm, actually, is that an isa card ? | 10:05 |
| ogra | isa might have probs .. | 10:05 |

| ogra | (see /topic) | 10:09 |
| chevy | i'll have to type it out as that PC has neither sound nor network !! | 10:09 |
| unimatrix9 | what brand is the pc? | 10:09 |
| ogra | so try to gt networking up first ... | 10:10 |
| unimatrix9 | dont you rember what mandrake used for the card? | 10:10 |
| ogra | as the bugreport indicates | 10:10 |
| chevy | lspci lists the following --> Host bridge, PCI bridge, ISA bridge, IDE interface, USB controller, Bridge, VGA Compatible controller | 10:10 |
| ogra | no soundcard ... | 10:10 |
| chevy | nope | 10:10 |
| ogra | i'm pretty sure thats a acpi error ... | 10:10 |
| chevy | ok i'll give that a go now | 10:10 |
| ogra | or your soundcard is isa ... | 10:10 |
| chevy | are acpi settings controlled via boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 10:11 |
| unimatrix9 | chevy, with mandrak everything worked? | 10:11 |
| ogra | just do it on boot | 10:11 |
| chevy | uni, yes everything did . . | 10:11 |
| chevy | out of the box | 10:11 |
| ogra | hit esc if you see the grub msg | 10:12 |
| ogra | then select the kernel line you use and hit e ... | 10:12 |
| ogra | hit e again and append the option to the kernel line | 10:12 |
| ogra | then hit enter and b | 10:12 |
| ogra | e == edit, b == boot | 10:13 |
| chevy | kernel line - should it be recovery mode? | 10:14 |
| ogra | nope | 10:14 |

| === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu | ||

| unimatrix9 | interesting | 10:16 |
| ogra | it should say quiet splash at ther end | 10:16 |
| chevy | yep | 10:16 |
| chevy | booting | 10:16 |
| ogra | add acpi=off with a space | 10:16 |

| unimatrix9 | but i dont think its an creative soundblaster | 10:38 |
| unimatrix9 | ( pci version ) | 10:38 |
| chevy | it is a pci card | 10:38 |
| unimatrix9 | as they need drivers from cdrom most of the time | 10:39 |
| unimatrix9 | at least thats what i am used to, with these cards on windows | 10:39 |

| unimatrix9 | you could also boot into windows and see afcause | 10:41 |
| chevy | actually yes, i have had to download drivers each time i reinstalled windows | 10:41 |
| unimatrix9 | ah | 10:41 |
| chevy | but with mandrake it worked straightaway | 10:41 |
| chevy | i just used to run soundctl once after install and then it worked | 10:41 |
| unimatrix9 | yes, mandrake is user friendly... | 10:41 |
| chevy | but here, its not even recognising the card exists . . which is frustrating | 10:42 |
| alistair_ | the certification for ubuntu, any plans to do an edubuntu one? like specific with ltsp etc? | 10:42 |
| unimatrix9 | i understand chevy, all too well | 10:42 |

| chevy | through terminal | 10:42 |

| chevy | nothing | 10:44 |
| ogra | unimatrix9, see the bug, its a kernel bug in 2.6 | 10:44 |
| unimatrix9 | ah | 10:45 |
| ogra | solved in 2.6.14 | 10:45 |
| ogra | i'm guessing mandrake uses 2.4 and oss ... | 10:45 |
| ogra | while we use 2.6 and alsa | 10:45 |
| ogra | which should still work though ... | 10:45 |
| chevy | mandrake uses alsa as well as oss | 10:45 |
| unimatrix9 | yes, mandrake uses oss, and you can also choose alsa, if its there for your soundcard | 10:46 |
| ogra | we use alsa by default ... but oss emulation on top where needed | 10:46 |

| ogra | yes | 10:49 |
| chevy | nowhere at all | 10:49 |
| unimatrix9 | is it maybe an pci raiser card on an desktop computer, and the whole stackis not detected, wow? | 10:50 |

| chevy | soundblaster AWE64 . . google shows up isa pnp | 11:03 |

| ogra | install isapnptools | 11:04 |

| ogra | for the network card issue my only idea is to use another one :/ | 11:05 |
| ogra | yes, use the synaptic package manager and enable the universe repository ... | 11:06 |
| chevy | that's easily done .. i can get another one . . any make other than 3Com? | 11:06 |
| ogra | yup | 11:06 |

| Absorto | ogra, remember I was trying to xdmcp to kdm? well, I think it might be a genuine bug in kdm. I found this: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114385 | 11:45 |
| Absorto | besides: i tried with gdm and it worked. | 11:45 |
| ogra | i told you so :) | 11:45 |
| ogra | <ogra> does your processlist agree that X isnt running the --nolisten option anymore ? | 11:46 |
| ogra | <ogra> afaik KDM is very buggy in this area | 11:46 |
| ogra | <ogra> i'd suggest GDM, even for KDE | 11:46 |
| ogra | ;) | 11:46 |
| Absorto | well, the bug says it has a fixed status but... well, it doesnt work! what should I do? | 11:46 |
| ogra | use GDM | 11:46 |
| ogra | its not *this* bad :) | 11:46 |
| Absorto | I would but I really need kdm :( | 11:46 |
| ogra | why that ? its only the login app | 11:47 |
| Absorto | I know but we have an enterprise theme that is supposed to be deployed :( | 11:47 |
| ogra | port it ? | 11:47 |
| Absorto | and there's some scripts that must be run from Xstartup | 11:48 |
| === Absorto sighs. | ||
| ogra | GDM can do that too | 11:48 |
| ogra | i cant fix KDM ... | 11:48 |
| ogra | so the only fix is to actually use GDM/XDM/etc | 11:48 |
| Absorto | Yes, I understand that. | 11:49 |
| ogra | and hope for the KDE guys ... | 11:49 |
| Absorto | and the edubuntu guys... | 11:50 |
| ogra | guy | 11:51 |
| ogra | i'm still seeking for more developers :) | 11:51 |
| arkan0x | mhz_stuff, ! ping | 11:52 |
| Absorto | that would be you? wow! | 11:52 |
| Absorto | I'm willing to help! I just don't know what to do. Should I try to compile from skratch? | 11:52 |
| ogra | contributions greatfully accepted :) | 11:52 |
| mhz_stuff | arkan0x: pong | 11:52 |
| ogra | your KDM ? dunno, probably \sh can help | 11:53 |
