MrMazda | don't hafta buy blanks | 12:04 |
---|---|---|
ogra | but you need internet access | 12:04 |
MrMazda | true | 12:04 |
ogra | my boss is african ;) | 12:04 |
MrMazda | POTS? | 12:05 |
ogra | there its hard to get even power, forget about more than a phoneline to go online ... | 12:05 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: internetaccess (dsl) costs 50 bucks a month, this is fare more expansive than 1 blank for 1 $ | 12:05 |
MrMazda | I hear DSL in parts of Europe cheaper than POTS | 12:05 |
lucasvo | yes it is | 12:06 |
ogra | i pay about 10 for the line and about 20 for the flatrate ... | 12:06 |
lucasvo | in CH for e.g. | 12:06 |
MrMazda | lucky | 12:06 |
lucasvo | I pay 50 for flatrate + Line | 12:06 |
MrMazda | I pay $42 US total/mo | 12:06 |
ogra | could be cheaper if i wouldnt live in the middle of nowhere | 12:06 |
MrMazda | cabul, not DSL | 12:06 |
MrMazda | pretty fast | 12:06 |
lucasvo | cityflat :D | 12:06 |
lucasvo | MrMazda: how fast? | 12:07 |
ogra | cable is great if you dont have millions of users on one line | 12:07 |
lucasvo | I have 600kbit up 150 kbit down | 12:07 |
MrMazda | CD takes less than 40 minute download | 12:07 |
MrMazda | unless server slow | 12:07 |
ogra | yup | 12:07 |
ogra | thats nice :) | 12:07 |
MrMazda | makes FTP installs fast | 12:07 |
lucasvo | my shipit connection takes about 3 weeks to download cd's :D | 12:08 |
ogra | i'm at the very end of the line here ... 768k is the biggest i can get | 12:08 |
lucasvo | ogra: skyDSL :D | 12:08 |
MrMazda | wget usually shows me just under 600 | 12:08 |
ogra | but thats the price i like to pay for the view ;) | 12:08 |
lucasvo | ogra: ronja/wifi can give you connection for 15km, maybe there you would get a better connection? | 12:09 |
ogra | http://www.grawert.net/gallery/pano/ | 12:09 |
lucasvo | wow, that's really out of nowhere | 12:09 |
ogra | lucasvo, yes, but i'd need someone to be the upstream for it and still several hops to get over the hills | 12:09 |
MrMazda | should it be ready for the restart yet? | 12:12 |
ogra | it should telly you ... | 12:12 |
ogra | -y | 12:12 |

lucasvo | ogra: is there already a client for s-c-p | 12:15 |
lucasvo | ogra: will there be any? | 12:15 |
ogra | client ? | 12:15 |
lucasvo | which has control over the X session | 12:15 |
lucasvo | or won't it be able to change the Xserver? | 12:16 |
ogra | what for ? | 12:16 |
lucasvo | blank a screen? | 12:16 |
lucasvo | show video? | 12:16 |
ogra | thats a thing to do with the screensaver | 12:16 |
lucasvo | ah ok | 12:16 |
lucasvo | and how do you want to activate screensaver? | 12:17 |
ogra | forget about video in ltap | 12:17 |
ogra | ltsp | 12:17 |
lucasvo | why? | 12:17 |
ogra | becuse you wont make it work fluid ... | 12:17 |
lucasvo | too slow? | 12:17 |
ogra | too much data foling over the netlink | 12:17 |
ogra | *flowing | 12:18 |
ogra | video or GL are things you cnt solve without running stuff locally on the client | 12:18 |
MrMazda | CD ejected | 12:19 |
ogra | great :) | 12:19 |
MrMazda | the F[3-7] screens should have the word "workstation" somewhere | 12:20 |
ogra | yup | 12:20 |
ogra | my bad | 12:20 |
ogra | its pretty different in dapper already | 12:20 |
ogra | since we use gfxboot for the CD ... | 12:20 |
ogra | suse very friendlytweaked it for us to work in ubuntu ;) | 12:20 |
MrMazda | SuSE my favorite Linux installer | 12:21 |
lucasvo | yast2 ? | 12:21 |
MrMazda | Mandriva good too | 12:21 |
ogra | but it only runs on x86 | 12:21 |
MrMazda | FC sux | 12:21 |
MrMazda | package selection part of FC very limited | 12:21 |
MrMazda | no search | 12:21 |
ogra | we support 5 arches ... so we need something that work on all of them | 12:21 |
ogra | *works | 12:22 |
MrMazda | Xandros installer nice, but very simple | 12:22 |
ogra | the ubuntu/debian installer is the most powerful one that exists ... but you sadly have to live with the bluescreen ... | 12:23 |
MrMazda | why isn't Firefox on the Kubuntu CD? | 12:23 |
ogra | it isnt ? | 12:23 |
MrMazda | it wasn | 12:23 |
MrMazda | it wasn't installed | 12:23 |
ogra | i didnt know that ... i only help riddell to test the liveCD sometimes, but that doesnt go beyond testing if it boots and starting 1-2 apps | 12:24 |
MrMazda | doesn't matter, I use mozilla.org builds any way -> http://cvs-www.mozilla.org/webtools/bonsai/cvslog.cgi?file=mozilla-org/html/unix/dpi.html&rev=&root=/cvsroot/ | 12:25 |
ogra | thats fine for kubuntu, but i wouldnt do that in ubuntu/edubuntu | 12:25 |
MrMazda | from /usr/local | 12:26 |
MrMazda | I leave the distro builds alone | 12:26 |
ogra | yes, but there is much stuff linked against firefox ... i.e. the gnoem helpsystem | 12:26 |
ogra | /usr/local/lib will overrde /usr/lib | 12:27 |
MrMazda | right, so I leave all that undisturbed, and just run from /usr/local/firefox | 12:27 |
MrMazda | not installed, untarred | 12:27 |
ogra | ah, only the binary | 12:27 |
ogra | that should be fine .. | 12:27 |
MrMazda | works fine everywhere else that has the legacy libs available | 12:28 |
ogra | yup | 12:28 |

lucasvo | how can I open a shell as a user with the X display set correctly? | 12:37 |
ogra | you cant | 12:37 |
lucasvo | :( | 12:37 |
ogra | usually xhost does that | 12:37 |
ogra | but over a local tcp socket | 12:38 |
lucasvo | how can I run a command as a special user with X set correctly? | 12:38 |
ogra | since thats very insecure, tcp transport is disabled in ubuntu | 12:38 |
ogra | if i would know how to do that in a secure way, you could look it up in the s-c-p source ;) | 12:39 |
lucasvo | how can I edit the menus in gnome, they got really messed up after dapper upgrade | 12:40 |
ogra | i'll have to inspect the ssh tunneling protocol a bit more, there mustbe a possibility to hook in there somewhere | 12:40 |
ogra | right click on the ubuntu logo | 12:41 |
lucasvo | ah | 12:41 |
lucasvo | is there some reset button? | 12:41 |
lucasvo | found it | 12:41 |

MrMazda | ogra: is it OK to simply tack the isa sound card module onto the bottom of /etc/modules manually? | 12:55 |
MrMazda | it's what I did in kubuntu | 12:55 |
ogra | did it work ? | 12:55 |
MrMazda | 1 | 12:55 |
ogra | if it did, that should work in edubuntu as well | 12:56 |
MrMazda | didn't know if that was another no-no | 12:56 |
ogra | just make sure o use the alsa module ... (the one that starts with snd- ) | 12:56 |
MrMazda | snd-azt2320 | 12:57 |
ogra | yup, thats fine | 12:57 |
MrMazda | learned that in Xandrox | 12:57 |
MrMazda | learned that in Xandros | 12:57 |
MrMazda | 80% done, wasting time again on wierd fonts | 12:58 |
ogra | heh, yes, i thought about dropping some, but we support 90 languages ... and these fonts are needed ... | 12:59 |
MrMazda | only after the other langs installed though, right? | 01:00 |
ogra | not really, for example it maked japanese websites not looking weird if you accidently end up on one ... | 01:00 |
ogra | but that indeed doesnt teach you the lang *g* | 01:01 |
MrMazda | who knows from wierd if only you can read English | 01:01 |
ogra | they should probably be tied to the language packs ... | 01:01 |
ogra | but that would blow them up even more ... | 01:01 |
ogra | and if i look at the kde language packs i get nightmares ... | 01:02 |

Lord_Athur | ok ogra | 01:07 |
Lord_Athur | hi lucasvo | 01:07 |
Lord_Athur | are the metadistros good distros? | 01:08 |
ogra | which ones specifically ? | 01:08 |
Lord_Athur | mmm | 01:08 |
lucasvo | ubuntu is the best distro ! :D | 01:08 |
Lord_Athur | I don't know, I want to make one | 01:09 |
Lord_Athur | :P | 01:09 |
Lord_Athur | jejeje | 01:09 |
Lord_Athur | It'd be only for learn more about distros... | 01:09 |
ogra | look at the existing ones and look at the userbase ... then guess yourself ... | 01:09 |
ogra | (edubuntu is a metadistro ;) ) | 01:09 |
Lord_Athur | you're right | 01:09 |
ogra | as well as userlinux | 01:09 |
Lord_Athur | I'll see it | 01:09 |
lucasvo | Lord_Athur: what metadistro do you want to do? | 01:09 |
Lord_Athur | one with KDEas the default GE & one with my programs | 01:10 |
ogra | if you compare userlinux with edubuntu. you'll find very different outcome ... | 01:10 |
ogra | metaistro basically means that you have a metapackage that defines a subset of anouther distro to be installed | 01:11 |
Lord_Athur | mmm | 01:11 |
Lord_Athur | ok | 01:12 |
ogra | userlinux is a set of metapackages in debian, but has no real userbase ... edubuntu and kubuntu are metadistros in ubuntu ... | 01:12 |
ogra | consisting of metapackages (edubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-server, edubuntu-artwork) | 01:12 |
ogra | or kubuntu-desktop ... | 01:12 |
Lord_Athur | mmm | 01:13 |
Lord_Athur | can I put the Kubuntu-desktop in the devian server? | 01:13 |
ogra | i wouldnt try that | 01:13 |
Lord_Athur | ogra, how can I use the apckage of squashfs-tools? | 01:14 |
ogra | no idea, as i told you before, i have no experience with squashfs | 01:14 |
ogra | but i saw there is this package ... | 01:14 |
Lord_Athur | ok | 01:15 |
Lord_Athur | thanks | 01:15 |

ogra | err DCC | 01:22 |

Yagisan | lululinux: you need to enable restriced formats for mp3 | 05:15 |
lululinux | mebbe mhz knows how to fix it ;-) | 05:15 |
Yagisan | lululinux: f*cking patent issues | 05:15 |
lululinux | what's that mean? | 05:15 |
mhz | hi all | 05:16 |
lululinux | how | 05:16 |
Yagisan | G'day mhz - what's the wiki page for restricted formats say, basically, add universe and multiverse right ? | 05:16 |
mhz | iirc | 05:16 |
lululinux | added universe long time ago | 05:17 |
=== Yagisan has very slow access today < 64k | ||
mhz | multiverse is restricted | 05:17 |
lululinux | first thing practically, since mc is missing from the CD | 05:17 |
mhz | i mean, multiverse is the 'non-always-free-zone' | 05:17 |
Yagisan | lululinux: yep, the wonderful mc is universe. you need to add multiverse | 05:17 |
Yagisan | lululinux: First https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto | 05:19 |
Yagisan | lululinux: then https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats | 05:20 |
lululinux | wiki is screwed up | 05:20 |
Yagisan | should help with mp3 | 05:20 |
lululinux | huge horizontal scroll | 05:20 |
lululinux | can't use it | 05:20 |
Yagisan | wiki works fine for me @ 1024x768 | 05:20 |
lululinux | not here | 05:21 |
lululinux | huge horizontal scroll | 05:21 |
Yagisan | lululinux: do you have granny fonts setup ie big fonts instead of standard ? | 05:22 |
Yagisan | lululinux: control + 0 in firefox should fix it | 05:22 |
Yagisan | mhz: how are you today ? | 05:23 |
mhz | tired, i couldnt sleep friday-saturday night | 05:25 |
mhz | .oO(it's sunday 01:25 AM) | 05:25 |
Yagisan | mhz: me either, Eric would get up every hour to either shit, or eat. | 05:26 |
Yagisan | mhz: have you seen Iron Chef ? | 05:26 |
mhz | hehehehe | 05:26 |

Yagisan | MrMazda: Well, I didn't write it, btw I sense some irony that your default size page also fails to validate at WAI standards ;) | 06:15 |
Yagisan | IIRC the documetation is being updated for dapper | 06:15 |
Yagisan | so I'm sure it will be fixed | 06:15 |
MrMazda | Yagisan: what fails? | 06:16 |
MrMazda | since Bobby disappeared I haven't checked anything | 06:17 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: For my business website I use http://webxact.watchfire.com/ | 06:17 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: I try for level AAA if possible, but some pages are only AA | 06:18 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: it failed at level AA | 06:19 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: You also may want to rethink Comic Sans MS, that is a hard font to read | 06:20 |
MrMazda | look at why, it claims way lotta broken links, links that aren't even on the page | 06:20 |
MrMazda | COMIC SANS IS NOT HARD TO READ unless it is too small, and I only use it for TITLES | 06:21 |
MrMazda | I don't care who doesn't like Comic Sans | 06:21 |
MrMazda | They can uninstall it if they hate it | 06:21 |
MrMazda | where is it finding all the broken links? | 06:22 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: 1, the links are there I read the source, 2 what a hypocritical response for an accessibility person | 06:22 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: thanks for assuming MY default size | 06:22 |
MrMazda | ??? | 06:23 |
MrMazda | all I assume about your default is that you chose it appropriately | 06:23 |

MrMazda | Yagisan: now I see we weren't talking about the same page | 06:26 |

MrMazda | http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/defaultsize.html is that I thought you meant, and I pasted the wrong URI | 06:27 |
MrMazda | http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/wauth1.html has stuff I have don't have adequate web space for | 06:27 |
Yagisan | MrMazda: something to keep in mind, is that every <a href> tag, even if it points to the same page is a link | 06:28 |
MrMazda | Yagisan: the priority 2 failure on http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/defaultsize.html is due to code pasted into the page directly from the WC3 site for the validation link. o_O | 06:30 |

mhz | Yagisan: gifted guy! :D | 02:23 |
Yagisan | mhz: did I do something right again ? | 02:23 |
mhz | hehehe, being awake | 02:23 |
Yagisan | mhz: It's called two small children :) | 02:24 |
Yagisan | I look like a panda, big black rings under my eyes | 02:24 |
mhz | LOL!!1 | 02:24 |
Yagisan | mhz: what is this mythical sleep you speak of ? I know no such thing | 02:25 |
mhz | :) | 02:26 |
mhz | 'mythical' hehehe | 02:26 |
mhz | wait til they're over 5 | 02:26 |
lululinux | wohoo, just got free bigger HD, free RAM, and free faster CPU. See ya later mhz Yagisan & lucasvo . :) | 02:26 |
mhz | Yagisan: is bittorrent on commandline? | 02:28 |
Yagisan | mhz: yes!! I can send them to school - I'll become fully nocturnal, I can sleep again | 02:28 |
Yagisan | mhz: I don't no, I don't use the bittorent clients with ubuntu | 02:28 |
Yagisan | s/no/know | 02:29 |
Yagisan | I use azureus for my bittorent stuff | 02:29 |
ogra | mhz, just clisk a .torrent file in firefox, gnome-bitorrent will care for it ... | 02:29 |
Yagisan | but that needs a java 1.5 runtime, most likely sun's, although blackdown, or ibm should do it. | 02:30 |
mhz | ogra: hehehe, you make life too easy :) | 02:30 |

mhz | .oO(well, I wouldn't because it is not Free as in freedom) | 02:32 |
ogra | you can also download the .torrent file and open it manually with gnome-btdownload ;) | 02:33 |

=== mhz has never used torrent, only wget -c | ||
ogra | edubuntu testers ? (hopefully= | 02:35 |
Yagisan | Of course, with porn gone, there would be no need for adsl2, as suddenly there would be excess bandwidth for all | 02:35 |
mhz | BTW, why is torrent so recommended? | 02:35 |
ogra | because it saves bandwidth for everyone ... | 02:36 |
Yagisan | It spreads the bandwidth load over all people involved | 02:36 |
Yagisan | you can get you download done quicker | 02:36 |
ogra | as all p2p apps do :) | 02:36 |
Yagisan | s/get you/get your | 02:37 |
Yagisan | Of course, that does rely on you also sharing the download to at least a 1:1 ratio | 02:37 |
Yagisan | mhz: Don't forget to watch milk battle :) | 02:38 |
mhz | Yagisan: 80% | 02:40 |
mhz | Yagisan: but is that the very best featured? | 02:41 |
mhz | sorry, ogra can answer too ;) | 02:41 |
Yagisan | mhz: best feature bittorrent client ? | 02:44 |
Yagisan | mhz: My personal preference is azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ | 02:44 |
Yagisan | mhz: but as I said, needs java 1.5 compatible runtime | 02:45 |
Yagisan | mhz: IIRC there may be an ubuntu package for it in dapper | 02:45 |
mhz | hmm, interesting | 02:46 |
ogra | for 1.5 ? | 02:46 |
ogra | not as long as ibm doesnt release a 1.5 blackdown package | 02:46 |
Yagisan | no, the azureus package | 02:46 |
mhz | .oO(maybe Emacs have a 'torrent' like plugin :) | 02:46 |

Yagisan | mhz: hmm, did you use paypal ? | 02:51 |
mhz | Yagisan: unless I got a Zaurus 'horizontal' screen model (4 GB in ROM and 1 USB port), I would definately prefer a Toshiba Libretto (less than 10 inches)! | 02:51 |
mhz | Yagisan: yup! but we never knew that the transaction 'filing complaints' lasted 60 days tops. | 02:52 |
mhz | and the communication with seller was always good (he giving us reasons why he couldn't senf them yet and crap) | 02:52 |
=== ivan [n=ivan@194.84.5.222] has joined #edubuntu | ||

Yagisan | mhz: so the cocksucker delayed you until you could not get a refund. Bastard. | 02:53 |
mhz | yup | 02:53 |
=== Yagisan has an intense hate for ebayers like that | ||
mhz | and I also complained to eBay because if you read 'normal' info, they never mention about 60 days. | 02:54 |
Yagisan | mhz: your english is great if you understand what I called that seller | 02:54 |
mhz | Yagisan: plus the fact that ebaye sellers (with laptops I liked) did not want to sell outside US so it took me 3 months to convince them :( | 02:55 |
mhz | hehehe | 02:55 |

Yagisan | I just checked both | 02:56 |
Yagisan | mhz: I'm sorry you where ripped off :( | 02:56 |
ogra | we only have access to the blackdown sources and cant include binary only packages in ubuntu | 02:56 |
mhz | ogra: in ubuntu-user ML there was a bit of complaining about devels decisions (4 lines email). Can i paste them? | 02:56 |
Yagisan | s/where/were | 02:56 |
mhz | Yagisan: sheeps happens | 02:56 |
ogra | sure, but i read -users | 02:56 |
mhz | ohhh. zaro killed | 02:57 |
mhz | zero | 02:57 |
ogra | i wonder why people never help while the specs are worked out and the decisions are made but complain very loud 7 months later | 02:58 |
mhz | yup!, I 100% agree with you | 02:58 |
Yagisan | ogra: I complain very load bout the specs I care about, but I couldn't go to canada | 02:58 |
Yagisan | ogra: so, in dapper, I still won't have decent multi-lingual input :( | 02:59 |
mhz | I wish to think it is a matter of 'not knowing how to get involved' | 02:59 |
ogra | Yagisan, the specs are on the wiki ... and are worked out there | 02:59 |
ogra | Yagisan, scim ? | 02:59 |
Yagisan | yep | 02:59 |
Yagisan | can you say breezy was a total regression | 02:59 |
mhz | pasting... | 02:59 |
mhz | > MTA is important, I vote 'yes'. | 02:59 |
mhz | > Have you talked to the Devel guys? | 02:59 |
mhz | Absolutely. Some of us would like to use MUAs that don't suck, like Mutt. | 02:59 |
mhz | Plus, mailx is used to send email from scripts all of the time. These | 02:59 |
mhz | people dumbing-down Linux and making it less useful are making me want | 02:59 |
mhz | to go use FreeBSD. | 02:59 |
Yagisan | ogra: at least it is on the agenda | 03:00 |
ogra | i was asked about it by several germans about it too now and minghua in -motu is upstream in debian for some of them ... | 03:00 |
ogra | so a scim team would probably help | 03:00 |
ogra | the prob is that we dont have enough devs for it ... | 03:00 |
Yagisan | ogra: yep, I've met minghua in -motu | 03:00 |
ogra | i personally don use scim | 03:01 |
ogra | but i see the need | 03:01 |
ogra | especially if we want to gain more on the asian market | 03:01 |
Yagisan | ogra: well, in my case, uim the alternative, only works in gnome apps, and breaks more the half of universe | 03:01 |
ogra | but its all gpl, right ? | 03:02 |
Yagisan | ogra: If you even want to communicate with asia, it needs to be fixed | 03:02 |
mhz | BTW, ogra, I just want to 'log' here that after jdub got back (that he said in -devel) I still get no mail regarding 'edubuntu-devel-es' ML :( | 03:02 |
Yagisan | yep, all gpl | 03:02 |
mhz | and I am afraid he gest pissed off if I insist, once more. | 03:02 |
=== Yagisan really needs to sit down and learn C and C++ | ||
ogra | mhz, nope, he wont | 03:02 |
ogra | just poke him | 03:02 |
mhz | okis | 03:02 |
mhz | so, based on your answers... no good devel would get pissed off? | 03:03 |
ogra | mhz, the mail stuff is one apt-get from the CD away... i dont see the issue there ... | 03:03 |
ogra | yup | 03:03 |
ogra | especially not jdub... | 03:04 |
mhz | ogra: sure, I know, that's why i only asked if that person had talked to devel guys. | 03:04 |
ogra | Yagisan, btw, are you a slug member ? | 03:04 |
mhz | Yagisan: are you going to NewZeland in January ? | 03:04 |
=== Yagisan thinks the best way to get scim working is to get all the devs, and asian partner (humorous joke, for the humor impaired) | ||

mhz | i had never seen it like that! | 03:08 |
mhz | :D | 03:08 |
mhz | hey kjcole Mr. EduDoc! | 03:09 |
Yagisan | basically slugs are snails without shells | 03:09 |
mhz | interesting | 03:09 |
kjcole | mhz, Sitting here waiting for Elkner to arrive. (But I'm early. We're scheduled for 10 this morning.) | 03:09 |
mhz | but I prefer NAT Geo or Discovery :) | 03:10 |
kjcole | ogra, you had mentioned giving me clues as to what to do about "bzr push" (Though I want it to work on my server, I think the ideal solution for the Cookbook would be to have Launchpad keep it safe and warm.) | 03:11 |
mhz | kjcole: please send my huge thanks to Elkner as well, because you 2 meeting on a sunday at 10 AM.. is very heroic! | 03:11 |
mhz | and you are meeting to work not just to play cards | 03:11 |
mhz | or role playing | 03:11 |
ogra | kjcole, i dont think the launchpad supermirror is ready yet, you'll have to resort to your server for now | 03:11 |
Yagisan | ogra: I'm a monkey, where is slug located ? | 03:12 |
=== mhz still loving BZR | ||
kjcole | mhz, 10 isn't heroic -- last week's 8:30 on a Sunday *THAT* was heroic. ;-) | 03:12 |
mhz | wow! yup!! | 03:12 |
ogra | kjcole, the fastes way to have push working would be to run a ssh server on your server and use sftp pushing | 03:12 |
ogra | but sftp is bretty slow for push, so probably an rsync server would be cooler | 03:12 |
mhz | rsync is nice, very cool | 03:13 |
kjcole | ogra, ssh server is running, but I've got to go back and figure out what I did to restrict access. (I had it running ssh server under Fedora, but had access to the machine very strictly controlled.) | 03:13 |
ogra | just make sftp possible to the dir you have your branch in ... | 03:14 |
mhz | kjcole: maybe Yagisan 'gifted non-sleepy-sec-expert' may help | 03:14 |
kjcole | As for rsync, when I push, I think the error message is that it doesn't understand rsync. But I haven't banged around on that much. | 03:15 |
ogra | that sounds like a server prob | 03:16 |
Yagisan | Is the server aggressively firewalled ? | 03:17 |
kjcole | ogra, yeah, my thought as well. | 03:17 |
Yagisan | I've occasionally forgotten to open a port for ssh | 03:17 |
=== Yagisan will brb. time to do fathers duties :( I can smell it from here | ||
ivan | No slug, no snail! I want to use kturtle. Who use this junior instrument? | 03:18 |
kjcole | Yagisan, it was, under Fedora, but it isn't now (unless I've messed up when copying files from the old system to the new.) | 03:18 |
kjcole | Yagisan, we're also behind the campus-wide firewall, but that doesn't block ssh -- unless they've changed something again without telling the community. (Wouldn't be the first time.) | 03:19 |

ogra | Yagisan, http://www.slug.org.au/ btw ... | 03:28 |
kjcole | ogra, that's what I've been doing. But I want others to be able to push without opening my little office server to the world. (I had an unfortunate incident many years ago when I opened up the machine to someone off campus that I thought I could trust. That mistake ended up with the FBI hauling off my computer.) | 03:28 |
Yagisan | thanks ogra: | 03:28 |
ogra | oh, i wouldnt do that | 03:29 |
kjcole | ogra, so, it's made me a bit shy of such things. | 03:29 |
ogra | i'd just maintain a local branch and merge the changes locally, to push it later | 03:29 |
Yagisan | kjcole: ouch | 03:29 |
ogra | has the advantage of someone having the control over the tree ... | 03:29 |
ogra | at least for development i find it veryimportant that one guy is the master and reviews the changes that go in | 03:30 |
ogra | not sure about doc work though | 03:30 |

ogra | hehe | 03:38 |
=== Yagisan wishes he had a way to utilise his ltsp nodes to help encode his dvds | ||
ogra | doesnt dvdrip have such an option ? | 04:05 |
Yagisan | ogra: I've just found that via google, so I'm reading the docs now | 04:07 |
Yagisan | ogra: it seems dvdrip wants to ssh to the clients, that may be problematic | 04:11 |
ogra | just set up a aahd ... | 04:11 |
ogra | sshd | 04:11 |
=== Yagisan twiddles thumbs while waiting for dvdrip and dependencies to download | ||
Yagisan | oh happy happy joy joy dvdrip can't find it's dependencies :( | 04:30 |

Yagisan | G'day feria | 04:34 |
feria | I ve been reading bout edubuntu and is great.... | 04:35 |
feria | #edubuntu-es is alone, are there a contact for the spanish version? I Can contribute with translations... | 04:39 |
feria | doh! MauricioHernandez en [MAILTO] mhz@tecnocimiento.cl si hablas castellano. | 04:40 |
feria | sorry | 04:40 |
ogra | feria, edubuntu is developed inside of ubuntu ... so rosetta is the place for translations | 04:40 |
ogra | http://www.launchpad.net/ | 04:40 |
feria | is a great idea, the kids are the future :) | 04:42 |
feria | there are no live cd version yet? | 04:43 |

jelkner | orga: have you seen (or heard) from mauricio (mhz) recently? | 05:11 |
ogra | he was here this morning ... | 05:12 |
ogra | until late afternoon | 05:12 |
ogra | but said goodbye for the rest of the day | 05:12 |
jelkner | in his time zone, it isn't even noon yet ;-) | 05:12 |
ogra | he came in 13:30 UTC and left 16:30 UTC it seems ... | 05:13 |
jelkner | ok, i'll catch him wednesday morning | 05:14 |
jelkner | we had a great time yesterday at tennants and workers united | 05:14 |
ogra | nice | 05:14 |
jelkner | 6 new ubuntunteros | 05:14 |
jelkner | all spanish sqeaking women | 05:15 |
jelkner | we went on the ubuntu-es channel | 05:15 |
ogra | and met mhz ? | 05:15 |
jelkner | no, he wasn't there | 05:15 |
jelkner | that's what i want to ask him | 05:15 |
ogra | (there is edubuntu-es as well btw (see topic)) | 05:15 |
jelkner | if he could join us next time | 05:15 |
jelkner | oh | 05:16 |
ogra | he runs it | 05:16 |
jelkner | that would be even better | 05:16 |
jelkner | we should meet there | 05:16 |
jelkner | they are all newbies | 05:16 |
ogra | thats fine ;) | 05:16 |
jelkner | so we need some folks who wouldn't mind talking to newbies | 05:16 |
jelkner | cool | 05:16 |
jelkner | ok, on another topic | 05:16 |
jelkner | kevin and i are here to work on the book | 05:17 |
ogra | i dont mind talking to newbies, but somehow my spanish is nonexistent ;) | 05:17 |
ogra | yep | 05:17 |
jelkner | i'll hit you up when we have german newbies | 05:17 |
jelkner | which i will have soon | 05:17 |
ogra | send them to #edubuntu-de :) | 05:17 |
jelkner | (actually german student newbies) | 05:17 |
jelkner | cool! | 05:17 |
jelkner | they are both new to ubuntu and new to german | 05:18 |
ogra | hehe | 05:18 |
jelkner | ok, bzr... | 05:18 |
ogra | i could teach them both i guess | 05:18 |
jelkner | cool | 05:18 |
jelkner | i'm thinking of getting a virtual server to host the book | 05:18 |
ogra | oh, a complete server ? | 05:19 |
jelkner | yeah | 05:19 |
ogra | isnt that a bit much for one branch ? | 05:19 |
jelkner | it would cost 7.99 per month | 05:19 |
jelkner | i could set it up until launchpad is ready | 05:19 |
ogra | i think launchpad will be ready during this dev cycle, its just not ready *nw* | 05:19 |
jelkner | (so only a few months) | 05:19 |
ogra | *now | 05:19 |
ogra | probably even weeks | 05:19 |
jelkner | we can cancell the virtual machine any time we want | 05:20 |
ogra | i saw the supermirror runnung locally at ubz | 05:20 |
jelkner | so we'll only be out a few buck | 05:20 |
jelkner | bucks | 05:20 |
jelkner | anyway, can we check back with you if we have trouble getting bzr to work | 05:20 |
ogra | sure | 05:21 |
=== jelkner goes off to setup bzr server... | ||
ogra | for the normal usage thats fine, if it comes to bugs or deeper internals, #bzr is the better bet | 05:21 |
jelkner | understood | 05:21 |
highvoltage | hi ogra! | 05:21 |
ogra | what i said to kjcole already, | 05:22 |
ogra | you should maintian the branch rather locally | 05:22 |
ogra | to have some control about the commits | 05:22 |
ogra | and only have one person who is the central master and megres the different branches | 05:22 |
ogra | hey highvoltage :) | 05:23 |
ogra | at least thats what i do with code, to examine the changes first | 05:23 |
highvoltage | ogra, I know I've asked you before (probably more than once), but where do I get the teacher control panel, formally known as teachertool from again? | 05:24 |
ogra | highvoltage, either as package in dapper or from my bzr branch | 05:24 |
highvoltage | s/formally/previously | 05:24 |
ogra | http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/student-control-panel-0.1/ | 05:24 |
ogra | i worked out the vnc implementation spec last week... | 05:24 |
ogra | i'll code it the next time i have some spare time that i can spend on it | 05:25 |
highvoltage | cool, downloading now via APT | 05:26 |
ogra | so the only missing bit is to work out a sane approach for remote execution of commands, which is the most tricky bit to make securely | 05:26 |
highvoltage | my ISP went down about two weeks ago too, so now the only internet access i have is through GPRS :( | 05:26 |
ogra | all other stuff is cosmetical .. | 05:26 |
ogra | gah | 05:26 |
ogra | thats bad | 05:26 |
highvoltage | sounds almost impossible from a security point of view. | 05:27 |
ogra | btw, did you see the release announcment ? | 05:27 |
highvoltage | no, I didn't. | 05:27 |
ogra | i thought that for vnc as well, but i think i found a half way secure implementation now | 05:27 |
highvoltage | which release announcement? | 05:27 |
ogra | http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2005-December/000927.html | 05:28 |
ogra | probably also intresting for jelkner ^^^ | 05:28 |
ogra | but it went to edubuntu-devel anyway | 05:28 |
highvoltage | oh yes, and to make things worse, my TSF e-mail account is IMAP only, and my @ubuntu address forwards there, IMAP over GPRS isn't far from ideal. i'm going to get a launchpad admin to redirect it to a pop address for me, then i'll be able to stay up to date with email again. | 05:29 |
ogra | hmm you need a launchpad admin for this ? | 05:29 |
ogra | doesnt it work through the UI ? | 05:29 |
=== ivan [n=ivan@194.186.210.64] has joined #edubuntu | ||
highvoltage | nope :( | 05:30 |
highvoltage | it just uses the e-mail address you registered with, you can't choose it yourself. | 05:30 |
ogra | bah | 05:30 |
ogra | #launchpad willhelp | 05:30 |
highvoltage | yep, i've asked there and they said i should hold on for an admin. | 05:34 |
=== highvoltage ssh's to work and starts download of flight2 | ||
ogra | yay | 05:34 |
highvoltage | at least i don't need bandwidth to test edubuntu. i'll go to work tomorrow and fetch the iso | 05:34 |

ogra | or test edubuntu powerpc ;) | 05:50 |
lucasvo | ogra: I don't know, I bought it for 50.- but it had a broken display backlight, I combined it with mine, which had a broken logicboard | 05:51 |

fitzwillie | Anyone available to give a first time installer a hand with some problems? | 06:30 |
ogra | fitzwillie, you read the install notes page from the opic ? | 06:30 |
ogra | *topic | 06:30 |
fitzwillie | ogra: I've read everything I can get my hands on, espeically serching for the particular errors I'm getting, and no luck | 06:31 |
ogra | so whats your prob ? | 06:31 |
fitzwillie | After starting the install, I am repeatedly getting some variation on "Invalid Compressed Format (err=2)" or "CRC Error" - I have done a checksum on my download, and re-burnt my disk at 2x to make sure it's not one of those causing it | 06:33 |
fitzwillie | and I've tried every mix of the switches suggested in the help menus | 06:33 |
ogra | there is also a media check on the CD ... it runs qite long, but checks every sector on the burned disk | 06:33 |
fitzwillie | Can I run that from the boot prompt? | 06:34 |
ogra | either use expert install or go "back" at every point of the installation | 06:34 |
ogra | it will drop you into a menu | 06:34 |
ogra | near the bottom there is "media integrity check" | 06:34 |
fitzwillie | I don't even get to that menu (okay, I did once, and can't repeat how I did it). it hands up on "Uncompressing Linux" at the very start | 06:35 |
ogra | probably your CD rom doesnt like the media ... i have an apple around that only boots from certain media | 06:35 |
fitzwillie | heh, that would be just my luck. Though I've tried two different types of CD media. | 06:36 |
ogra | i found exactly on out of five types i have that boots on it ... | 06:36 |
ogra | *one | 06:37 |
fitzwillie | ack. almost makes this not worth it. I don't think I have the patience to try and find out which type of CD will work :( | 06:37 |
fitzwillie | ahh well, thanks anyway. I'll go try something else. | 06:39 |
ogra | what kind of HW is that ? | 06:40 |
fitzwillie | P3, 266mhz, 3gb HD, 160mb ram | 06:41 |
ogra | sounds fine ... | 06:42 |
ogra | and the CDRom ? | 06:42 |
fitzwillie | haven't sorted that out specifically - looked around the bios but couldn't determine the specific | 06:42 |
ogra | scsi or ide ? or any weird kind of soundblaster driven kind ? | 06:43 |
fitzwillie | ide | 06:43 |
ogra | ah, k | 06:43 |
fitzwillie | ogra: thanks, gotta run for now... may try this again over the xmas break :) | 06:45 |

ogra | hehe | 10:00 |
lucasvo | I did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 10:00 |
lucasvo | and so now default is xfce | 10:00 |
lucasvo | I think one should include xfce to edubuntu | 10:01 |
lucasvo | or at least make a GUI for changing this setting | 10:01 |
lucasvo | but now keyboard layout doesn't work anymore :( | 10:02 |
ogra | you have a gui for that, its called synaptic | 10:05 |
ogra | and xubuntu-desktop will be in main in dapper ... and thus on the DVD | 10:06 |
