lucasvo | MrMazda: cool, you did it? | 02:15 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: if you want to install edubuntu just type: apt-get install edubuntu-desktop | 02:16 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: you screen resolution is working/ | 02:17 |
MrMazda | lucasvo: I had to add manually to xorg.conf the missing HorizSync and VertRefresh, then the higher resolutions worked | 02:48 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: I had the same problems | 02:48 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: best to do is: submit a bug in bugzilla.ubuntu.com | 02:48 |
MrMazda | consoles randomly get error messages making them useless | 02:49 |
MrMazda | bug about the bad edubuntu installs? about the defective xorg.conf? | 02:49 |
lucasvo | defective xorg.conf | 02:52 |
MrMazda | k | 02:53 |
MrMazda | where/what name is the installation log? | 02:53 |
MrMazda | lotsa gstreamer and fontconfig error messages during install on tty4 | 02:54 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: /var/log/x*.log | 02:56 |

lucasvo | lucasvo@lama:~$ vi /var/log/Xorg.20.log.old | 02:57 |
MrMazda | 20 is from the installer? | 02:57 |
lucasvo | no | 03:01 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: look at all of the Xorg logs | 03:01 |
jelkner | ogra: good morning oliver | 03:03 |
lucasvo | 15:03 < djm62> lucasvo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-corg | 03:03 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: delete all the /var/log/Xorg* | 03:03 |
lucasvo | then do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:04 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: then you can attach the xorg.log | 03:04 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: you have to do that in tty2-5 | 03:04 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: and then you have to add horzsync again | 03:05 |
MrMazda | lucasvo: I have to go upstairs to do all this | 03:05 |
MrMazda | lucasvo: I saved the original xorg.conf | 03:05 |
lucasvo | ok | 03:05 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: or ssh I think :D | 03:05 |

lucasvo | hi Yagisan | 03:12 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: running kda? | 03:12 |
Yagisan | G'day lucasvo | 03:13 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: try apt-get install edubuntu-desktop | 03:13 |
MrMazda | I don't like Gnome | 03:13 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: why? | 03:13 |
lucasvo | because of linus? :D | 03:13 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: in edubuntu-desktop you get all the education apps | 03:13 |
MrMazda | used to KDE since years ago when Gnome was awful | 03:14 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: yes, I did too, I am using gnome since warty | 03:14 |
MrMazda | gotta find out if enuf space left on device :-D | 03:14 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: apt-get remove kde | 03:14 |
MrMazda | added some stuff already, so it's pretty full | 03:14 |
ogra | MrMazda, how much space do you have ? | 03:14 |
MrMazda | o_O | 03:14 |
MrMazda | gotta go upstairs to see what's left | 03:15 |
MrMazda | 2.25G to start with for / | 03:15 |
ogra | thats not enough for a default edubuntu ... | 03:15 |
ogra | you'll need ~2.6G | 03:15 |
MrMazda | I read some doc that said needs 2G | 03:15 |
Yagisan | that's barely enough for normal ubuntu | 03:15 |
ogra | 2.2G is fine for a normal ubuntu, edubuntu brings more apps | 03:16 |
ogra | kdeedu and all the kde stuff we ship is an ugl beast ... | 03:16 |
ogra | *ugly | 03:16 |
lucasvo | apt-get remove qt | 03:16 |
ogra | heh | 03:17 |
Yagisan | MrMazda, normal ubuntu installs in 2G, but whoever wrote that never tried it. I did - you don't have any space left. | 03:17 |
lucasvo | I hate the qt dual licensing :( | 03:17 |
ogra | its gone with qt4 | 03:17 |
lucasvo | ogra: it is? | 03:17 |
Yagisan | lucasvo: why ? | 03:17 |
ogra | afaik, yes | 03:17 |
ogra | hey jelkner | 03:17 |
lucasvo | Yagisan: for e.g. german post had to remove their stampit *proprietary* plugin for openoffice since it includes qt | 03:18 |
MrMazda | looks like I could get some space back by removing a bunch of eastern fonts | 03:18 |
MrMazda | way lotta font packages installed | 03:19 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: did you clear /var/cache/apt/archives/? | 03:19 |
MrMazda | got 450K back from doing that manually | 03:19 |
ogra | yes, that might give you 2-300MB | 03:19 |
ogra | eeek | 03:19 |
ogra | never do that manually | 03:19 |
jelkner | ogra: good morning | 03:19 |
ogra | use apt-get clean for that | 03:19 |
MrMazda | couldn't find another way | 03:19 |
lucasvo | ogra: ok | 03:19 |
Yagisan | lucasvo: that's what happens when you don't read the license | 03:20 |
MrMazda | that wasn't what was suggested yesterday | 03:20 |
ogra | MrMazda, i wasnt around in the evening :) | 03:20 |
MrMazda | someone said some other kind of clean | 03:20 |
lucasvo | Yagisan: they are allowed to include their software with dual licensing? | 03:20 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: *me* | 03:20 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: I was wrong | 03:20 |
MrMazda | too late now :-) | 03:20 |
ogra | yup | 03:21 |
ogra | wont break heavily though, dont worry ... | 03:21 |
MrMazda | already added repositories and updated | 03:21 |
MrMazda | gimp | 03:22 |
MrMazda | mc | 03:22 |
Yagisan | lucasvo: the author of qt can license it however they like. | 03:22 |
ogra | but as a rule of thumb, if there is a tool in a linux system, never edit files manually or delete stuff, you might miss something that tool would do as well | 03:22 |
MrMazda | firefox/thunderbird | 03:22 |
MrMazda | I know that rule | 03:22 |
MrMazda | gotta be able to find that GUI tool though | 03:22 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: synaptic? | 03:22 |
ogra | for maintaining packages ? | 03:22 |
ogra | thats synaptic or gnome-app-install | 03:22 |
ogra | kubuntu/kde has something similar | 03:23 |
lucasvo | gnome-app-install is lame | 03:23 |
ogra | why ? | 03:23 |
MrMazda | synaptic, dpkg, apt, adept - too many different tools for packages | 03:23 |
lucasvo | it only provides the most common packages | 03:23 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: you forgot aptitude | 03:23 |
ogra | gnome-app-install is far superior to synaptic on the usability side | 03:23 |
MrMazda | aptitude, synaptic, dpkg, apt, adept - too many different tools for packages | 03:23 |
ogra | they do different things :) | 03:24 |
ogra | synaptic and aptitude are just frontends | 03:24 |
lucasvo | dpkg is included into almost everything | 03:24 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: I can point to at least one of those tools that doesn't work on my X less box | 03:24 |
ogra | ... to apt | 03:24 |
ogra | apt is a frontend to dpkg | 03:24 |
ogra | adept is a copy of synaptic in kde | 03:24 |
ogra | they are completely different things ... | 03:25 |
MrMazda | you're making me try to learn to much - I'm a rpm user | 03:25 |
spacey_ki | even working on weekends ogra ;/ | 03:25 |
MrMazda | Debian gives me fits | 03:25 |
ogra | spacey_ki, not really ... | 03:25 |
Yagisan | my preferred front end is aptitude | 03:25 |
lucasvo | I prefer apt | 03:25 |
MrMazda | screwed up tty video on every one of them | 03:25 |
spacey_ki | ogra, don't forget to relax a bit :P | 03:25 |
ogra | heh, i'll try | 03:26 |
ogra | i'm on my way out anyway, GF is ill and i have to pick up food for the animals ... else they'll starve over the weekend | 03:26 |
lucasvo | ogra is in a hurry for dapper :D | 03:26 |
ogra | nah, no hurry at all :) | 03:26 |
Yagisan | ogra: Hope GF gets better soon. | 03:27 |
ogra | we are fine in our timeframe ... | 03:27 |
ogra | Yagisan, i'll tell her ... | 03:27 |
ogra | she already was better (after 4 weeks of sleepless nights with crying from pain) | 03:28 |
ogra | but somehow it started over tonight | 03:28 |
MrMazda | seems like Bug 7878 resurfaced | 03:28 |
Yagisan | ?? what did she catch ? | 03:28 |
spacey_ki | damn, thats quite serious | 03:28 |
ogra | we have no idea | 03:28 |
ogra | seems it hurts heavily below her right eye .... | 03:29 |
spacey_ki | went to hospital i assume? | 03:29 |
ogra | the doc has no idea what that could be ... | 03:29 |
Yagisan | 2nd opinion ? | 03:29 |
ogra | now she got pulled out a tooth last week, but that seem not to have been the cause of pain ... | 03:29 |
spacey_ki | time for a xray | 03:30 |
ogra | i'll arrange a computer tomography next week for here, to get some more insight ... | 03:30 |
ogra | no hospital yet ... she first wants to try out all options without that | 03:30 |
spacey_ki | what is computer tomography? | 03:31 |
=== ogra babelfishes | ||
Yagisan | spacey_ki: most likely cat scan | 03:32 |
Yagisan | I had one done for myself - big white tube | 03:32 |
Yagisan | strong magnets | 03:32 |
ogra | yeah ... | 03:32 |
ogra | babalfish doesnt help :/ | 03:32 |
spacey_ki | not dangerious when you have some metal in your teeth? | 03:32 |
ogra | nope | 03:33 |
Yagisan | have some guy say "lie still" while they scan your head | 03:33 |
spacey_ki | not suddenly teethless | 03:33 |
spacey_ki | :) | 03:33 |
ogra | and afterwards you have a 3D model of your head ... | 03:33 |
Yagisan | and then they go, we *still* don't know whats wrong | 03:33 |
lucasvo | that's cool, I once had to do it with my arm | 03:33 |
ogra | its a kind of xray in slices they do ... and afterwards they build a 3D model of it | 03:33 |
Yagisan | oh wait - that may only be for me | 03:34 |
ogra | Yagisan, i suspect it might be the same for us :/ | 03:34 |
lucasvo | Yagisan: it is quite common, they still don't know what's wrong with my arm | 03:34 |
ogra | the dentist already did a normal xray... nothing suspisious ... | 03:34 |
lucasvo | I still can't do any push-ups :( | 03:34 |
Yagisan | at least I got a picture of my head | 03:35 |
lucasvo | lol | 03:35 |
Yagisan | lucasvo: RSI ?? | 03:35 |
lucasvo | Yagisan: rsi? | 03:35 |
ogra | yes, sounds like | 03:35 |
ogra | to much comuter work :) | 03:35 |
Yagisan | Repetitive Strain Injury | 03:35 |
ogra | *computer | 03:35 |
ogra | take more rests | 03:35 |
Yagisan | or ah something else ;) | 03:35 |
lucasvo | Yagisan: I don't know, I had a broken arm a 2 years ago | 03:36 |
lucasvo | Yagisan: broken forever, I can't push anything more than 20kg | 03:36 |
spacey_ki | good thing you do computer work :P | 03:36 |
spacey_ki | only need to press keys | 03:37 |
lucasvo | spacey_ki: I am doing headwork in school atm | 03:37 |
spacey_ki | headwork? | 03:37 |
Yagisan | ouch, I've shredded all the ligaments on my knee before. Couldn't move my lower leg | 03:37 |
lucasvo | brainwork | 03:37 |
spacey_ki | right | 03:37 |
spacey_ki | what work does your brain do | 03:37 |
Yagisan | dragged myself 7 kilometers to a hospital on one leg, just to get it put in plaster | 03:38 |
lucasvo | spacey_ki: math, biology, french, german, english, italian, chemistry, physics | 03:38 |
lucasvo | and arts and craft | 03:38 |

spacey_ki | i never watch tv | 03:47 |
spacey_ki | evil box ;p | 03:47 |
lucasvo | exactly | 03:47 |
Yagisan | iron chef is the best show I have ever seen on TV. It's from Japan. The americans made a crap copy called, Iron Chef America | 03:48 |
Yagisan | here we are, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Chef | 03:48 |
spacey_ki | i've seen futurama episode about that :) | 03:49 |
Yagisan | you haven't seen Iron Chef ?? | 03:49 |
Yagisan | I've got 18GB of it so far ... | 03:49 |
Yagisan | damm 20GB download quota | 03:49 |

Yagisan | spacey_ki: that's the 30% iron chef episode right ? | 03:53 |
spacey_ki | don't remember:) | 03:53 |
spacey_ki | at least it was funny :) | 03:53 |
spacey_ki | Yagisan, never seen the orginal show | 03:53 |
Yagisan | spacey_ki: where are you ? | 03:54 |
MrMazda | can't run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg because the tty display is too corrupted - how do I screencap the corruption? | 03:54 |
spacey_ki | Yagisan, netherlands | 03:54 |
spacey_ki | its not on tv here :) | 03:54 |
spacey_ki | i'm curious though, can you send me an episode?:D | 03:55 |
MrMazda | lucasvo: are you really /away ? | 03:55 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: how did you corrupt the tty display ? | 03:56 |
MrMazda | using keypad keys | 03:56 |
MrMazda | always does that | 03:56 |
MrMazda | how do I screencap the corruption? | 03:57 |
Yagisan | have you tried typing `clear` no quotes in a console ? (yes it is a dumb question) | 03:57 |
Yagisan | Is x working at all ? | 03:57 |
spacey_ki | restart | 03:57 |
spacey_ki | instead of clear helps | 03:57 |
MrMazda | X works - I'm doing what lucasvo said to report the initial configure bug | 03:58 |
MrMazda | restart what? | 03:58 |
spacey_ki | type it in | 03:58 |
spacey_ki | the terminal | 03:58 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: gimp has a screen capture function | 03:58 |
MrMazda | gimp is X | 03:58 |

MrMazda | this is tty running dpkg-reconfigure | 03:59 |
MrMazda | can't type in clear or restart | 03:59 |
spacey_ki | just type restart and press enter | 03:59 |
spacey_ki | works for me | 03:59 |
spacey_ki | :) | 03:59 |
spacey_ki | even if you can't see it | 03:59 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: please clarify - is this a virtual console, or x-term ? | 04:00 |
jelkner | ogra: do you have time for a question? | 04:01 |
MrMazda | tty[1-6] | 04:01 |
ogra | jelkner, sure | 04:01 |
jelkner | i installed sabayon | 04:01 |
ogra | btw, did you already test the flight2 CD ? | 04:01 |
jelkner | no | 04:01 |
MrMazda | restart worked, but then on first need for a cursor key it corrupts again spacey | 04:01 |
jelkner | i can do that monday | 04:01 |
ogra | great | 04:02 |
jelkner | how do you want me to test it? | 04:02 |
MrMazda | can't get anywhere | 04:02 |
ogra | i'm lagging with the announcement anyway | 04:02 |
jelkner | just do an install and see if it works? | 04:02 |
ogra | yup | 04:02 |
jelkner | ok, i'll burn it tomorrow and install on monday | 04:02 |
ogra | there are some known issues, i'll point out in the announcement | 04:02 |
jelkner | i have two test servers to play with | 04:02 |
spacey_ki | MrMazda, try in an X terminal? | 04:02 |
ogra | great :) | 04:02 |
jelkner | any i need to know before testing? | 04:02 |
ogra | dont use different languages ... | 04:03 |
jelkner | ok | 04:03 |
jelkner | anything else? | 04:03 |
MrMazda | spacey_ki: lucasvo said run in tty, so I exited the X session to run on tty | 04:03 |
ogra | trhere is something wrong with the ubuntu locales onb install, that makes it break if you dont use en_** | 04:03 |
spacey_ki | you can also run it in an X terminal | 04:03 |
MrMazda | anyway, if tty cannot be fixed I give up on ubuntu | 04:03 |
spacey_ki | and restart X after that | 04:03 |
jelkner | ok, i won't do anything with languages | 04:03 |
ogra | the dhcpd needs a new option ... (next-server) | 04:04 |
ogra | else the clients wont boot :/ | 04:04 |
jelkner | but speaking of languages, on our breezy boxes we are having great fun with them | 04:04 |
MrMazda | this corruption has been a plague even on the failed edubuntu installs | 04:04 |
MrMazda | ttys just HAVE to work | 04:04 |
jelkner | i'm sitting here at a community center where all the folks speak spanish | 04:04 |
ogra | but i think i'll revert that change to dhcpd for ubuntu ... its evil to introduce breaking changes with minor version upgrades imho | 04:04 |
jelkner | i learned how to use the spanish keyboard | 04:04 |
MrMazda | how do I screencap the corruption on a tty? | 04:05 |
jelkner | and we are all on ubuntu-es chatting | 04:05 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: I have no idea why your tty isn't working. It works fine on all my headless boxes. | 04:05 |
jelkner | cool! | 04:05 |
ogra | jelkner, we had this topinc several times... | 04:05 |
jelkner | which topic? | 04:05 |
MrMazda | Yagisan: prolly ATI BS | 04:05 |
ogra | .es lang stuff | 04:05 |
MrMazda | only ATI box I have | 04:05 |
ogra | i think you asked about 10 times about it now | 04:05 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: could you try using the vesa framebuffer instead | 04:05 |
jelkner | my apologies | 04:05 |
ogra | :) | 04:05 |
jelkner | i missed it each time ;-) | 04:05 |
jelkner | but i got it now | 04:06 |
MrMazda | Yagisan: kernel line is VGA=290 because VGA=788 failed | 04:06 |
ogra | so tell me about sabayon | 04:06 |
jelkner | btw. the german teacher in the room before me wants to use the ubuntu lab with her students | 04:06 |
ogra | nice :) | 04:06 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: well, that is a good indication of where the problem lies | 04:06 |
jelkner | i'm planning on asking you if you know some good resources for them? | 04:06 |
jelkner | ok, back to sabayon | 04:06 |
MrMazda | Yagisan: same problem in all Debians, no problem in RPMs | 04:07 |
jelkner | you said you can't use if from the clients | 04:07 |
ogra | yes | 04:07 |
jelkner | can i use if from the server to lock down client users? | 04:07 |
MrMazda | Debian framebuffer is whacko | 04:07 |
ogra | it opens a xnest window, xnest doesnt work through ssh tunnels | 04:07 |
jelkner | ok, so we should wait on that | 04:07 |
jelkner | yes? | 04:07 |
ogra | but youcan make profiles with it directly on the server desktop | 04:07 |
spacey_ki | only when you create the policy you need to do it on the server itself | 04:07 |
spacey_ki | but if you activite it it works for everything | 04:08 |
jelkner | but what happens on the client when the user tries to change things | 04:08 |
spacey_ki | only the admin thingy needs to be on local box | 04:08 |
ogra | i'm not sure that solveable at all, thats why i said i'm not sure we can include it at ubz | 04:08 |
jelkner | folks are breaking their desktops | 04:08 |
jelkner | accidentally deleting panels and stuff | 04:08 |
ogra | not if you lock down these options | 04:08 |
spacey_ki | jelkner, did you try using sabayon yet? | 04:09 |
jelkner | no, i just installed it | 04:09 |
jelkner | i'm just asking a few high level questions to save time | 04:09 |
jelkner | like, "how should i try it?" | 04:09 |
spacey_ki | i think you should give it a try first :p | 04:09 |
ogra | yes, play with it ... | 04:09 |
jelkner | ok, /me stops asking silly questions and goes off to try it... | 04:10 |
spacey_ki | jelkner, if you can't figure it out after trying just ask back. i still have to fix it up myself. good opportunity | 04:10 |
jelkner | ok | 04:10 |
spacey_ki | anyway i'm out for shopping now before everything closes | 04:10 |
spacey_ki | cya | 04:10 |
ogra | i'm not even sure if we need the xnest stuff... its only for arranging the default desktop setup... the locking down feature doesnt use xnest | 04:10 |
jelkner | cool | 04:11 |
jelkner | first question: how to launch it? | 04:11 |
jelkner | command line only? | 04:11 |
spacey_ki | its in the menu :p | 04:11 |
ogra | its in your system menu | 04:11 |
jelkner | doesn't seem to be in the menu anywhere? | 04:11 |
ogra | "User Profile Editor" | 04:11 |
jelkner | oh, i see | 04:11 |
ogra | i'm still not sure what this icon should represent :) | 04:12 |
ogra | its just a golden swirl | 04:12 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: a quick google doesn't anything that can grab a VGA console. Try sudo cat /dev/vcs > screendump.txt | 04:13 |
jelkner | oops, i click on "Edit" and get "Xsession: unable to launch "gnome" X session --- "gnome" not found; falling back to default session." | 04:14 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: You will need to put your password in, but it should grab the screen for you | 04:14 |
jelkner | never mind | 04:15 |
jelkner | clicking ok and it started anyway | 04:15 |
ogra | oh, in dapper it silently crashes ... | 04:15 |
ogra | oh, yes, xnest is broken :) | 04:16 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: no not really | 04:20 |
ogra | luckily we have a totally different kernel to debian :) | 04:22 |
ogra | including framebuffer functionallity | 04:22 |
ogra | s/including/especially with the/ | 04:22 |
lucasvo | ogra: how about a powerbutton in ldm? | 04:22 |
ogra | lucasvo, sure :) | 04:22 |
ogra | but i have more important tasks .. | 04:23 |
lucasvo | ogra: is it working from bzr? | 04:23 |
ogra | ?? | 04:23 |
ogra | a powerbutton from bzr ? | 04:23 |
lucasvo | ogra: no, a working powerbutton in ldm from bzr source | 04:23 |
ogra | sure ... | 04:23 |
lucasvo | ogra: how can I install it? | 04:24 |
ogra | oh, you mean if its added in my bzr repo ? nope | 04:24 |
lucasvo | ah | 04:24 |
lucasvo | ogra: so there isn't any written code for now? | 04:24 |
jelkner | ogra: no one can log in to the edubuntu server | 04:24 |
ogra | as i said, i have otherpriorities, ldm powerbutton is only on my nice to have list | 04:25 |
lucasvo | ogra: hm, ok | 04:25 |
ogra | jelkner, look if the sshkeys are right | 04:25 |
lucasvo | ogra: what are other priorities? | 04:25 |
ogra | (or existing at all) | 04:25 |
jelkner | i tried restarting dhcp, which had died, but it still isn't working | 04:25 |
ogra | lucasvo, my specs ... | 04:25 |
lucasvo | ogra: launchpad? | 04:25 |
ogra | jelkner, dhcpd has nothing to do with it.... as long as the clients boot, tftp, dhcp and nfs are fine | 04:26 |
ogra | no need to look there | 04:26 |
MrMazda | how do I eradicate graphical boot? | 04:27 |
jelkner | which log file should i look in? | 04:27 |
ogra | jelkner, just look for the sshkeys ... | 04:27 |
ogra | no logfile needed | 04:27 |
jelkner | where? | 04:27 |
ogra | where you looked the last times you had this ... | 04:28 |
ogra | wait | 04:28 |
lucasvo | I like the obsolete: EdubuntuUserManagement ( Oliver Grawert) | 04:28 |
ogra | /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts | 04:28 |
jelkner | ok i need to take notes this time ;-) | 04:28 |
ogra | jelkner, ^^^ look if the current server ip shows up there | 04:28 |
ogra | if not, run: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys | 04:29 |
ogra | then try to log in again | 04:29 |
=== frayoyo [n=maxmon@dslb-084-060-214-059.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
ogra | lucasvo, yes, thats obsoleted by the network user management spec that goes into ubuntu anyway (but dapper+1 for the server side) | 04:30 |
lucasvo | I will probably buy a new server for my ltsp, I am thinking off 2x Opteron Dual Core, will there be any problems with ltsp? | 04:32 |
lucasvo | Is it working with current dapper? | 04:32 |
ogra | not with dapper | 04:32 |
ogra | yup | 04:32 |
lucasvo | so the multiarch support is fully included by now? | 04:32 |
ogra | its not working with breezy ... you need the multiarch patch from Yagisan that already is included in dapper | 04:33 |
ogra | yup | 04:33 |
lucasvo | and what about flash etc. ? | 04:33 |
lucasvo | binary drivers? for e.g. nvidia? | 04:33 |
ogra | thats nothing i can solve, ask macromedia :) | 04:33 |
lucasvo | but is it possible to run firefox under 32bit? | 04:33 |
lucasvo | how about multicore + ubuntu is it working well? | 04:34 |
lucasvo | or is it overpowered for ubuntu? | 04:34 |
ogra | not at all | 04:35 |
ogra | multicore and smp are fine ... | 04:35 |
ogra | for 32bit apps you'll need to build a chroot etc ... | 04:35 |
lucasvo | waaa | 04:36 |
ogra | there are debian docs for that ... | 04:36 |
lucasvo | ok, I think I can live without flash | 04:36 |
ogra | its really only flash thats missing... | 04:36 |
lucasvo | what else is closed source in ubuntu? | 04:36 |
lucasvo | ah, ok | 04:36 |
ogra | java for amd64 is fine, as well as all other stuff | 04:36 |
ogra | nvidia/ati ... | 04:36 |
ogra | but we'll wipe all binary drivers for the thin clients anyway | 04:37 |
lucasvo | I don't have a 64bit thinclient :D | 04:37 |
ogra | heh | 04:37 |
MrMazda | [4294880.753000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xaa on isa0060/serio0). | 04:37 |
lucasvo | or what do you mean? | 04:37 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: that happens when you press shift+page up for example | 04:37 |
MrMazda | Yagisan: that's one line of corruption I typed in | 04:38 |
ogra | dropping of the binary drivers has nothing to do with 64bit | 04:38 |
lucasvo | ogra: where will the binarydrivers be dropped? | 04:38 |
jelkner | ogra: no one can log in now | 04:38 |
lucasvo | ogra: on the server or in the chroot? | 04:38 |
ogra | thats a keycode your kernel doesnt know about ... multimedia keys for example | 04:38 |
jelkner | i tried sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys | 04:38 |
MrMazda | lucasvo: draws a different screen | 04:38 |
ogra | jelkner, did you look in the file | 04:38 |
MrMazda | still messed up | 04:38 |
MrMazda | even on restart with vga=normal | 04:39 |
ogra | lucasvo, in the chroot | 04:39 |
lucasvo | ogra: aha, ok | 04:39 |
jelkner | yes, but what am i looking for? | 04:39 |
ogra | <ogra> /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts | 04:39 |
ogra | <jelkner> ok i need to take notes this time ;-) | 04:39 |
ogra | <ogra> jelkner, ^^^ look if the current server ip shows up there | 04:39 |
ogra | <ogra> if not, run: sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys | 04:39 |
jelkner | i did | 04:40 |
jelkner | and i also restarted the client | 04:40 |
ogra | was anything in there ? | 04:40 |
jelkner | in the file? | 04:40 |

lucasvo | agente87: the only problem will be the weak server | 04:59 |
jelkner | ogra: but it looks like we've hit some edubuntu bugs | 05:00 |
jelkner | shouldn't we investigate? | 05:00 |
jelkner | i could try rebooting the server | 05:00 |
agente87 | i have spoken with my director and he will buy some ram | 05:01 |
jelkner | and let you know what happens | 05:01 |
MrMazda | lucasvo: I'm not gonna file a bug on the HorizSync/VertRefresh because that original xorg.conf works OK since I've updated everything | 05:01 |
=== jelkner is about to reboot the server... | ||
lucasvo | MrMazda: ok | 05:01 |
MrMazda | too many such bugs already, and most dupes or fixed | 05:01 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: mine hasn't been fixed so far | 05:01 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: I had exactly the same probelm | 05:02 |
MrMazda | still the console corruption problem is huge | 05:02 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: you mean the unknown key messages? | 05:02 |
MrMazda | doesn't matter which vga= I use, always unknown key messages | 05:02 |
MrMazda | tty corruption == unknown key messages | 05:02 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: maybe it is a wrong keyboard driver? | 05:03 |
MrMazda | I tried asking in #kubuntu, but that place is all noise | 05:03 |
lucasvo | exactly | 05:03 |
lucasvo | and ubuntu as well | 05:03 |
ogra | MrMazda, note that the keycode errors are totally unrelated to the vga= setting | 05:04 |
MrMazda | obviously | 05:04 |
ogra | they are two different things in the kernel ... | 05:04 |
MrMazda | how do I eradicate the graphical boot? | 05:04 |

ogra | you mean usplash ? | 05:05 |
MrMazda | whatever it is that keeps the text messages away | 05:05 |
ogra | just remove the splash keywoprd from the kernel line | 05:05 |
MrMazda | with other kernels/other distros, splash=0 or nosplash was the method, but they don't work here :-p | 05:06 |
jsgotangco | hey | 05:06 |
lucasvo | .w 12 | 05:07 |
lucasvo | sorry | 05:07 |
jsgotangco | ogra, do you have any knowledge on limitations of distribution about our pressed cds? | 05:07 |
ogra | we dont even have agreement that we'll get pressed CDs yet | 05:07 |
jsgotangco | ogra, sorry i was supposed to say ubuntu cds in general | 05:08 |
jsgotangco | ogra, what i mean is for situations like this http://www.ebay.ph/viItem?ItemId=5841560525 | 05:08 |
ogra | hmm, nope, i'm not working with the shipit team ... ask marilize, kiko or silbs if you can catch them on irc | 05:09 |
jsgotangco | yep | 05:09 |
ogra | heh | 05:09 |
ogra | how much are PHP 250 ? | 05:09 |
ogra | in euro or $ ? | 05:09 |
jsgotangco | $1USD = P50 | 05:10 |
ogra | so its $5 ? | 05:10 |
jsgotangco | roughly | 05:10 |
ogra | i dont think anybody really cares | 05:10 |
jsgotangco | because i wouldn't like to see a situation where people here ask for CDs and sell for something like that | 05:11 |
jsgotangco | when they can just ask me for one | 05:11 |
jsgotangco | heh | 05:11 |
jsgotangco | we | 05:11 |

MrMazda | nfs mount takes WAY to long :( | 05:13 |
ogra | yup, agreed | 05:13 |
ogra | will be fixed in dapper | 05:13 |

MrMazda | I forgot noauto in FSTAB | 05:15 |

lucasvo | MrMazda: ah nfs | 05:15 |
ogra | jelkner, since you did it both at th same time i cant tell you either | 05:15 |

ogra | bah | 05:17 |
MrMazda | bash: /etc/init.d/portmap: No such file or directory | 05:17 |
ogra | ugh | 05:17 |
ogra | how did you install your system ? | 05:18 |
MrMazda | "workstation" from CD boot | 05:18 |
MrMazda | IIRC | 05:18 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: edubuntu? kubuntu? | 05:18 |
MrMazda | mebbe that was edubutu | 05:18 |
ogra | ah, ok, that doesnt install any server parts | 05:18 |
MrMazda | kubuntu | 05:18 |
ogra | kubuntu has no workstation install | 05:19 |
MrMazda | kubuntu is the problem ATM | 05:19 |
ogra | that unique in edubuntu | 05:19 |
MrMazda | well than I didn't | 05:19 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: exactly | 05:19 |
MrMazda | well then I didn't | 05:19 |
MrMazda | ;-) | 05:19 |
ogra | since edubuntu defaults to a server install, we included this option | 05:19 |
MrMazda | the nfs mounts finally finished | 05:19 |
ogra | no other ubuntu has it | 05:19 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: you need portmap | 05:20 |
ogra | but you need portmap installed on a nfs server ... | 05:20 |
MrMazda | nfs mount means nfs client | 05:20 |
ogra | there you dont need anything ... | 05:20 |
MrMazda | so why the delay mounting? | 05:21 |
ogra | i thought you talk about ltsp ... | 05:21 |
ogra | it doesnt happen in normal ubuntu nfs mounts | 05:22 |
=== MrMazda bets the problem is the missing options | ||
ogra | what kind of server do you run ? | 05:24 |
a-865 | just this Mandriva 2006 box | 05:24 |
ogra | might be a misconfiguration on the server ... | 05:24 |
MrMazda | nah, works fine for everything else | 05:24 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: nfs on another client? | 05:24 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: so you installed mandriva on you daughters pc? | 05:25 |
ogra | mounting nfs shares between 2 ubuntu boxes takes milliseconds here | 05:25 |
ogra | up to 1-2 seconds over 5Mbit wlan ... | 05:26 |
lucasvo | :( | 05:27 |
lucasvo | I have my wlan | 05:27 |
lucasvo | *hate | 05:27 |
lucasvo | it is stupid | 05:27 |
lucasvo | slow | 05:27 |
ogra | wokrs fine here ... | 05:27 |
ogra | yes, thats true ... | 05:27 |
lucasvo | ogra: I have it over 3 storeys | 05:27 |
ogra | but thats a HW limitation | 05:27 |
lucasvo | exactly | 05:27 |
lucasvo | and money | 05:27 |
lucasvo | and law limitation | 05:28 |
ogra | law ? | 05:28 |
lucasvo | 100mW? | 05:28 |
ogra | s/law/health/ ? | 05:28 |
lucasvo | I mean limitation by law | 05:28 |
lucasvo | no law | 05:28 |
lucasvo | maybe law is because of health | 05:28 |
ogra | i wouldnt want something with >100Mw on my lap ... | 05:29 |
lucasvo | jup | 05:29 |
ogra | and boil my guts ... | 05:29 |
jsgotangco | even your nuts | 05:29 |
ogra | heh | 05:29 |
lucasvo | that's why I will soon have fibre | 05:29 |
ogra | wireless fibre ? | 05:30 |
ogra | i.e. a lightbulb ? | 05:30 |
ogra | :) | 05:30 |
lucasvo | ogra: ronja.twibright.com is exactly what you mean | 05:30 |
lucasvo | ogra: but I will use ordinary fibre | 05:31 |
ogra | ah, yes, i once worked with such a laser driven system... | 05:32 |
ogra | but thats bad in snow etc ... | 05:32 |
ogra | if you can put the link on the roof, i prefer a yagi anteanna and wlan ... | 05:32 |
lucasvo | it is not laser only lled | 05:32 |
a-865 | noauto,ro,nosuid,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 instead of defaults,noauto didn't help ogra | 05:33 |
ogra | even worse in bad waehter | 05:33 |
ogra | which kernel does mandriva use ? | 05:33 |
Yagisan | did someone say yagi ? | 05:33 |
ogra | there were issues in older 2.6 versions ... try setting the framesizes to 1048 | 05:34 |
ogra | err | 05:34 |
jsgotangco | antennae | 05:34 |
ogra | 2048 | 05:34 |
jsgotangco | =) | 05:34 |
lucasvo | ogra: I am a ronja developer... | 05:34 |
a-865 | 2.6.12 here | 05:34 |
=== Yagisan tries to imagine himself as an antenna | ||
MrMazda | on all my other boxen 8192 works fine | 05:35 |
MrMazda | portmap is missing from system services :-p | 05:36 |
ogra | in mandriva ? | 05:36 |
ogra | thats odd | 05:36 |
MrMazda | no, kubuntu | 05:36 |
ogra | sure | 05:36 |
ogra | as long as you dont use it as a server, you wont have such evil stuff installed | 05:38 |
MrMazda | either I install it, or some different distro | 05:39 |
ogra | you dont need protmap on the client side | 05:39 |
MrMazda | every linux in this building is a nfs server | 05:40 |
MrMazda | samba sux | 05:40 |
ogra | so install nfs-kernel-server and be happy | 05:40 |
ogra | it will install portmap alongside | 05:40 |
ogra | but nbote that ubuntu has a policy of no open ports by default for security reasons ... so server stuff has to be instaled manually in a default ubuntu | 05:41 |
MrMazda | now it wants the @#$#$ CD o_O | 05:42 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:42 |
ogra | sure | 05:42 |
ogra | if you didnt run synaptic to add other sources | 05:42 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: and add # to the first line | 05:42 |
MrMazda | I added sources yesterday | 05:42 |
ogra | with synaptic ? | 05:43 |
MrMazda | with adept | 05:43 |
ogra | it comments the Cd entry if you add network sources | 05:43 |
ogra | lol | 05:43 |

ogra | edubuntu-desktop ? | 06:10 |
ogra | nope | 06:10 |
ogra | as i said, you need a min amount of2.6Gb | 06:10 |
MrMazda | until I stumble on a bigger disk for the kid's puter that's all there is | 06:11 |
ogra | about 1-200MB less if yu dont have the server stuff installed | 06:11 |
MrMazda | web site sys req doc should say how much is really required | 06:11 |
MrMazda | I wouldn't have tried otherwise | 06:11 |
ogra | it will | 06:11 |
ogra | but its easy to compute from the ubuntu sizes ... | 06:12 |
MrMazda | mebbe I can steal some space from doze for /home and use the whole #2 HD for edubuntu | 06:12 |
ogra | ubuntu itself needs at least 2.2-2.4 GB | 06:12 |
ogra | you could resize the win partition | 06:13 |
ogra | with gparted from the liveCD | 06:13 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: delete /home and mount /home over nfs | 06:13 |
MrMazda | the 7G doze partition is only 44% used | 06:14 |

Hemet_Ka | ogra, I'm trying to open a file of a CD | 09:42 |
mhz | MrMazda: however, i do not remember exactly about its partition system (again, cfdisk is simple and very efective) | 09:42 |
ogra | Hemet_Ka, an iso ? | 09:42 |
ogra | you can just loop mount it | 09:42 |
MrMazda | Corel, Caldera, RedHat, Knoppix, Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake, Mandriva, Xandros all I ever used b4 trying edubuntu/kubuntu yesterday | 09:43 |
mhz | MrMazda: iirc DSL is about 50 MB only and its gui is prety cool | 09:43 |
MrMazda | AFAIK, cfdisk cannot resize | 09:43 |
ogra | nope, it cannot | 09:43 |
Hemet_Ka | ogra, it's a file put in a live cd | 09:43 |
mhz | MrMazda: maybe right | 09:43 |
mhz | MrMazda: but i doubt you have info already there, do you? | 09:44 |
ogra | Hemet_Ka, no idea, and there is no edubuntu liveCD yet ... | 09:44 |
MrMazda | I do all my partitioning with http://www.dfsee.com/ but it won't resize ext2 | 09:44 |
mhz | MrMazda: why you chose ext2 over 3? | 09:44 |
MrMazda | same difference | 09:44 |
ogra | yes, that an intresting choice | 09:44 |
MrMazda | same difference in the partition tables | 09:44 |
MrMazda | ogra: what? | 09:45 |
ogra | choosing ext2 over 3 | 09:45 |
Hemet_Ka | ogra, I'm using edubuntu, but the live cd is of necromantux | 09:45 |
ogra | ah | 09:45 |
MrMazda | ext3 is ext3 | 09:45 |
MrMazda | ext3 is ext2 | 09:45 |
mhz | ohh, hehehe, I always endup doing mkfs.ext3 :) | 09:45 |
ogra | Hemet_Ka, but still, there is no method i know | 09:45 |
Hemet_Ka | :S | 09:45 |
Hemet_Ka | anyway.. thanks ogra and bye | 09:46 |
=== Hemet_Ka [n=alejandr@pc-30-37-214-201.cm.vtr.net] has left #edubuntu ["Abandonando"] | ||
ogra | he should probably use squashfs-tools :) | 09:47 |
MrMazda | /boot -> ext2; / -> ext3 | 09:47 |
MrMazda | same type 83 for both in the tables | 09:48 |
ogra | wohoo ... i can read out the phonebook of my razr v3 :) | 09:51 |
ogra | time to write a gui app :) | 09:51 |
mhz | ogra: what's that? | 09:57 |
ogra | my mobile ... | 09:57 |
mhz | a mobile | 09:57 |
mhz | ok | 09:57 |
ogra | a very recent motorola | 09:57 |
mhz | nice | 09:57 |
mhz | bluetooth? | 09:58 |
ogra | and you can just access it via imple AT commands | 09:58 |
ogra | *simple | 09:58 |
ogra | bluetooth too... | 09:58 |
mhz | cool | 09:58 |
ogra | but i was only playing with the usb cable for now | 09:58 |
=== mhz envys other people can just say... "oh, i'll write an interface" | ||
ogra | at+mpbf="Mauricio Hernandez" would just show me all data about you in my phone ... | 10:00 |
mhz | nice! | 10:00 |
ogra | including mailadress, address, and all known numbers | 10:00 |
mhz | what if that also shows you the logs about calls and calendars and to do? | 10:01 |
mhz | all that regarding Mauricio Hernandez, of course | 10:01 |
ogra | if i find the way pumping data *into* the phone, i can just send my evolution addressbook, including IM data (there is a jabber blient for this phone) | 10:01 |
mhz | cool! | 10:01 |
ogra | but anyway,just a pet project ... typically for never being finished ;) | 10:02 |
mhz | I whish evolution could have 'threaded' calendars, tasks and addressbooks | 10:02 |

=== patetico [n=insomnia@200.72.158.95] has joined #edubuntu | ||
ogra | even more cool would be bluetooth acces, registering an alsa device and being able to use a headset attached to my lappie to use the phone ... | 10:04 |
crimsun | need a bit more robust bt support in ALSA first | 10:08 |
MrMazda | edub sure takes a long time to install | 10:11 |

mhz | ogra, ogra, ogra... a real cool pet project could be to have a gui install for Moin :D | 10:21 |
mhz | ogra: have you seen kjcole? | 10:28 |
ogra | nope | 10:34 |
ogra | he mailed me some bzr questions... | 10:34 |
ogra | but we havent met | 10:34 |
mhz | :( | 10:35 |
mhz | me neither | 10:35 |
=== mhz is making his custom | ||

MrMazda | mount: unknown filesystem type: nfs :( | 11:13 |
MrMazda | ogra: u there? install done, and badly | 11:13 |
ogra | but you read the docs as advised in the topic ? | 11:14 |
MrMazda | day or two ago | 11:14 |
ogra | and follwed it ? | 11:14 |
MrMazda | can't remember it all after 7 installs | 11:14 |
ogra | whats wrong with the install ? | 11:14 |
MrMazda | no X, corrupt consoles, no nfs | 11:14 |
ogra | hmm, what did you do ? youre the first person reporting probs there | 11:15 |
MrMazda | kubuntu had no problem configuring usable X without any help | 11:16 |
ogra | its the same configuration tool | 11:16 |
MrMazda | I dunno, that's what happened | 11:16 |
ogra | apart from the desktop all ubuntus are 100% identical | 11:16 |
MrMazda | without nfs can't get logs onto server to upload for anyone to look at | 11:16 |
ogra | so only if you did soemthing that broke the install thic could happen | 11:17 |
ogra | have you seen any errors ? | 11:17 |
MrMazda | EE stuff in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:17 |
ogra | nope, i mean during the install ... | 11:18 |
MrMazda | I wasn't looking the whole 2 hours | 11:18 |
ogra | it should run cleanly until it starts X in the end of the process | 11:18 |
ogra | with a reboot in the middle | 11:18 |
MrMazda | maybe it doesn't like me interrupting that in order to put my bootloader back the way it found it? | 11:19 |
MrMazda | rude to not ask me where to put bootloader | 11:19 |
ogra | oh, so you didnt use the default install | 11:19 |
MrMazda | tried workstation install | 11:19 |
ogra | thats fine ... | 11:20 |
MrMazda | isn't there some installation log somewhere? | 11:20 |
ogra | then your install is 100% identical with kubuntu, except that gnoem is installed instead of kde, i wonder what happened there | 11:20 |
ogra | sure, in 7var/lo7onstaller and /var/log/base-config | 11:20 |
ogra | GRRRR | 11:21 |
ogra | /var/log/istaller | 11:21 |
ogra | *installer | 11:21 |
ogra | sorry, its very late here | 11:21 |
MrMazda | I got apt configured with universe and installed mc | 11:21 |
ogra | post install ? | 11:21 |
MrMazda | yes | 11:21 |
ogra | thats fine ... | 11:21 |
MrMazda | but why no nfs? | 11:22 |
ogra | but the broken install is what bothers me... also 2h are *very* unusual | 11:22 |
MrMazda | I thought that was in kernel? | 11:22 |
ogra | nope, its modular, but gets auoloaded | 11:22 |
ogra | by hotplug ... | 11:22 |
ogra | as all modules are | 11:22 |
ogra | which CD did you use ? | 11:23 |
MrMazda | en 5.10 edubuntu | 11:23 |
ogra | the 5.10 release ? or a daily from the de release | 11:23 |
ogra | *dev | 11:23 |
MrMazda | 13 Oct | 11:24 |
ogra | hmm, never saw anyone having probs with it ... | 11:24 |
MrMazda | my birthday | 11:24 |
ogra | oh, then you have on the same day as our CTO :) | 11:24 |
MrMazda | 54 years later | 11:24 |
ogra | sure ? | 11:24 |
ogra | so you are in the 70s ? | 11:25 |
MrMazda | ? | 11:25 |
MrMazda | 1951 | 11:25 |
ogra | ah | 11:25 |
ogra | he is something like 27 or 28 years old .... | 11:25 |
MrMazda | Kubunto Official Release 13 Oct, right? | 11:25 |
ogra | so 54+27 would be quite old ;) | 11:26 |
MrMazda | Edubuntu Official Release 13 Oct, right? | 11:26 |
ogra | yup | 11:26 |
ogra | same base, different desktop | 11:26 |
MrMazda | I could install kubuntu again, than add the edu pkg | 11:26 |
ogra | thats what i mean, its pretty unusual that you have probs there ... | 11:26 |
MrMazda | all because qtparted wouldn't let me resize | 11:27 |
ogra | since the X server/autodetection etc are 100% the same | 11:27 |
MrMazda | I'll go try one more time | 11:27 |
MrMazda | if that doesn't work, back to SuSE | 11:27 |
ogra | hmm :/ | 11:27 |
lucasvo | SuSE was good, but isn't anymore | 11:28 |
ogra | did anything change with the HW between kubuntu and this install ? | 11:28 |
MrMazda | works for me | 11:28 |
lucasvo | I havn't tried opensuse | 11:28 |
MrMazda | just moved the box downstairs then back upstairs | 11:28 |
ogra | yes, but i would be sad to loose a user .. | 11:28 |
MrMazda | leaving mc out of a base install is one strike to start with, and console non-working is strike 2; only save is tty works OK in runlevel 1 | 11:29 |
lucasvo | exactly | 11:29 |
ogra | different monitor ? | 11:29 |
MrMazda | nope | 11:30 |
MrMazda | identical | 11:30 |
MrMazda | debians always give me headaches rpms don't | 11:30 |
ogra | hmm, so why did X detection work in kubuntu but not in edubuntu then :/ | 11:30 |
MrMazda | had Xandros mostly working | 11:30 |
MrMazda | Xandros was mostly nice, but it too has broken ttys | 11:31 |
ogra | i never saw xandros ... | 11:31 |
MrMazda | upstairs I used a different USB mouse | 11:31 |
ogra | hmm.... | 11:31 |
MrMazda | same one that worked with kubuntu | 11:32 |
ogra | could you try with the same HW you used in kubuntu ? | 11:32 |
MrMazda | it IS the same | 11:32 |
ogra | especially the WS install should be a no brainer .. | 11:32 |
MrMazda | except | 11:32 |
ogra | answer 10 questions and just wait till its finished ... no rocket sience ... | 11:33 |
MrMazda | I think I typed in 'linux workstation vga=788' instead of just workstation | 11:33 |
ogra | ah | 11:33 |
ogra | that might have broken it ... | 11:33 |
ogra | just use workstation | 11:33 |
lucasvo | any thoughts of using graphical installation? | 11:33 |
ogra | did you use such a string with kubuntu ? | 11:33 |
MrMazda | there is one? | 11:33 |
ogra | nope | 11:33 |
MrMazda | don't remember what I started kubuntu with | 11:33 |
MrMazda | prolly just enter | 11:34 |
ogra | dapper will have the ubuntu express installer ... | 11:34 |
MrMazda | dapper needs to ask where I want boot loader | 11:34 |
lucasvo | ogra: what is ubuntu express installer? | 11:34 |
ogra | so we will stop sending out install CD through shipit and ship only the liveCD with ubuntu/kubuntu express | 11:34 |
lucasvo | ah, cool | 11:34 |
ogra | saves 50% of money | 11:35 |
MrMazda | I'm gonna go start again with just workstation | 11:35 |
lucasvo | ogra: I was thinking about asking to include such a function to dapper | 11:35 |
ogra | MrMazda, thanks :) | 11:35 |
ogra | lucasvo, it was long planned ... | 11:35 |
lucasvo | ogra: guess great minds are similar | 11:35 |
lucasvo | :D | 11:35 |
ogra | we already planned it at the sydney conference for breezy ... but switching to gcc4 and modular X took to long in breezy | 11:36 |
ogra | so there was no time left for development | 11:36 |
ogra | and i was planned for the gui stuff in the beginning, before i suddenly got edubuntu assigned 3 months before release date ... | 11:37 |
ogra | so i had no time at all to work on it and had to care for building edubuntu instead ... | 11:37 |
lucasvo | I think this has more priority | 11:39 |
lucasvo | what about yast, I am quite surprised, yast didn't gain popularity when it became oss | 11:39 |
ogra | because its crap | 11:40 |
ogra | MrMazda is right, suse once was a very nice distro ... | 11:40 |
ogra | then they invented yast2 ... | 11:40 |
ogra | nd stopped doing things right ... which they did before | 11:41 |
=== lucasvo remembers when he was 7 and was looking at his neighbours screen running an xterm and yast | ||
ogra | i remember the first suse i saw ... | 11:41 |
ogra | it was 14 floppys and basicly a slackware with added value :) | 11:42 |
lucasvo | :D | 11:42 |
lucasvo | when I first saw it there was already a CD | 11:42 |
ogra | i decided to go with the *real* slackware back then .... | 11:43 |
ogra | and was very soon forced to use debian by my job ... | 11:43 |
lucasvo | my friend had a linux from scratch but now he doesn't have time anymore next to work | 11:44 |
MrMazda | ogra: copying from CD ... | 11:45 |
ogra | great :) | 11:45 |
MrMazda | other distros I usually do FTP installs | 11:45 |
ogra | other distros also come on 20 CDs ;) | 11:46 |
MrMazda | or 7 or 8 or 5 or 3 :) | 11:46 |
ogra | hehe | 11:46 |
ogra | yes :) | 11:46 |
ogra | we have either a DVD (with all supported software) or the CD ... | 11:47 |
ogra | putting all 17000 packages on media would result in about 5 stuffed DVDs | 11:47 |
ogra | or even more ... | 11:48 |
MrMazda | I bought the SuSE 10 box, came with no manual, made me very mad | 11:48 |
ogra | if the distro is good enough to need no manual, thats fine imho ... | 11:48 |
MrMazda | need some manual every now and then | 11:49 |
ogra | i agree with stallman in this point ... a real perfect software is good enough to need a manual ... | 11:49 |
MrMazda | my last too old for udev and 2.6 kernels | 11:49 |
ogra | sadly there is no real perfect software in this world *G* | 11:49 |
MrMazda | sure there is, OS/2 :) | 11:49 |
ogra | heh | 11:49 |
ogra | a bit outdated though ... | 11:50 |
ogra | did you try the new version ? | 11:50 |
ogra | they released something this year iirc | 11:50 |
MrMazda | kernel I'm running is 3 months old | 11:50 |
MrMazda | 849,262 bytes | 11:50 |
MrMazda | doesn't limit me to 15 SATA partitions either | 11:51 |
ogra | i dont even have 15 partitions in use ... | 11:52 |
ogra | nowhere | 11:52 |
MrMazda | http://www.ecomstation.com/ | 11:53 |
MrMazda | this disk has about 40 | 11:53 |
a-865 | this also has about 40 | 11:53 |
ogra | but what for ? | 11:53 |
MrMazda | FIFO | 11:53 |
MrMazda | backup | 11:53 |
MrMazda | lotsa smalls | 11:53 |
ogra | the ecomstation gui somewhat reminds me on amiga ... | 11:54 |
MrMazda | I've preordered 2.0 | 11:54 |
MrMazda | the OS/2 WPS is why people stay instead of switching | 11:55 |
MrMazda | IBM moved the primary OS/2 kernel hacker onto Linux 1 Dec, so the future is not bright | 11:56 |
ogra | why ? he could enhance linux with os/2 features :) | 11:57 |
MrMazda | http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.os2.bugs/msg/1ee73f8bbddfac18?hl=en& | 11:58 |
ogra | yes, but he's agreat mind, so it will get linux forward ... the OS/2 business is a dead end as long as ibm doesnt want to invest there | 11:59 |
MrMazda | The eCS people want to eventually have the OS/2 desktop working on BSD or something like that | 12:00 |
MrMazda | people aren't web to OS/2, only its WPS | 12:00 |
MrMazda | people aren't wed to OS/2, only its WPS | 12:00 |
ogra | yes, but still, there is no business model behind it anymore ... as long as nobody pays, it will die or idle around in slow development | 12:01 |
ogra | as BSD it will become a niche product ... | 12:02 |
MrMazda | so how long should a edubuntu WS install take anyway? | 12:02 |
MrMazda | been about 20 min since start | 12:03 |
ogra | less than 1h on recent HW | 12:03 |
MrMazda | not recent | 12:03 |
MrMazda | PIII-350 | 12:03 |
ogra | so around 1h then | 12:03 |
ogra | its a question of disk/CD speed | 12:03 |
ogra | not the CPU | 12:03 |
MrMazda | CD prolly only 4X | 12:03 |
MrMazda | mebbe 8X | 12:03 |
ogra | ah, k then it migh take longer | 12:03 |
MrMazda | another FTP install advantage - don't need fast readers | 12:04 |
