MrMazdawhy isn't Firefox on the Kubuntu CD?12:23
ograit isnt ? 12:23
MrMazdait wasn12:23
MrMazdait wasn't installed12:23
ograi 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 apps12:24
MrMazdadoesn'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
ograthats fine for kubuntu, but i wouldnt do that in ubuntu/edubuntu 12:25
MrMazdafrom /usr/local12:26
MrMazdaI leave the distro builds alone12:26
ograyes, but there is much stuff linked against firefox ... i.e. the gnoem helpsystem 12:26
ogra /usr/local/lib will overrde /usr/lib12:27
MrMazdaright, so I leave all that undisturbed, and just run from /usr/local/firefox12:27
MrMazdanot installed, untarred12:27
ograah, only the binary12:27

ograbut over a local tcp socket12:38
lucasvohow can I run a command as a special user with X set correctly?12:38
ograsince thats very insecure, tcp transport is disabled in ubuntu12:38
ograif i would know how to do that in a secure way, you could look it up in the s-c-p source ;)12:39

MrMazda112:55
ograif it did, that should work in edubuntu as well12:56

MrMazda80% done, wasting time again on wierd fonts12:58
ograheh, yes, i thought about dropping some, but we support 90 languages ... and these fonts are needed ...12:59
MrMazdaonly after the other langs installed though, right?01:00
ogranot really, for example it maked japanese websites not looking weird if you accidently end up on one ...01:00
ograbut that indeed doesnt teach you the lang *g*01:01
MrMazdawho knows from wierd if only you can read English01:01
ograthey should probably be tied to the language packs ...01:01

YagisanMrMazda: 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
YagisanIIRC the documetation is being updated for dapper06:15
Yagisanso I'm sure it will be fixed06:15
MrMazdaYagisan: what fails?06:16
MrMazdasince Bobby disappeared I haven't checked anything06:17
YagisanMrMazda: For my business website I use http://webxact.watchfire.com/06:17
YagisanMrMazda: I try for level AAA if possible, but some pages are only AA06:18
YagisanMrMazda: it failed at level AA06:19
YagisanMrMazda: You also may want to rethink Comic Sans MS, that is a hard font to read06:20
MrMazdalook at why, it claims way lotta broken links, links that aren't even on the page06:20
MrMazdaCOMIC SANS IS NOT HARD TO READ unless it is too small, and I only use it for TITLES06:21
MrMazdaI don't care who doesn't like Comic Sans06:21
MrMazdaThey can uninstall it if they hate it06:21
MrMazdawhere is it finding all the broken links?06:22
YagisanMrMazda: 1, the links are there I read the source, 2 what a hypocritical response for an accessibility person06:22
YagisanMrMazda: thanks for assuming MY default size06:22
MrMazda???06:23
MrMazdaall I assume about your default is that you chose it appropriately06:23
MrMazdahttp://webxact2.watchfire.com/report.asp?t=1&s=5&ts=8450&y=0 claims 6i1 broken links in a page that doesn't even have 10 links in it total06:25
MrMazdahttp://webxact2.watchfire.com/report.asp?t=1&s=5&ts=8450&y=0 claims 61 broken links in a page that doesn't even have 10 links in it total06:25
MrMazdaYagisan: now I see we weren't talking about the same page06:26
mhz:)06:27
MrMazdahttp://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/defaultsize.html is that I thought you meant, and I pasted the wrong URI06:27
MrMazdahttp://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/wauth1.html has stuff I have don't have adequate web space for06:27
YagisanMrMazda: something to keep in mind, is that every <a href> tag, even if it points to the same page is a link06:28
MrMazdaYagisan: 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_O06:30
MrMazdasilly stuff, like not liking H5 to follow H106:32

mhzYagisan: gifted guy! :D02:23
Yagisanmhz: did I do something right again ?02:23
mhzhehehe, being awake02:23
Yagisanmhz: It's called two small children :)02:24
YagisanI look like a panda, big black rings under my eyes02:24
mhzLOL!!102:24
Yagisanmhz: what is this mythical sleep you speak of ? I know no such thing02:25
mhz:)02:26
mhz'mythical' hehehe02:26
mhzwait til they're over 502:26
lululinuxwohoo, just got free bigger HD, free RAM, and free faster CPU. See ya later mhz Yagisan & lucasvo . :)02:26
mhzYagisan: is bittorrent on commandline?02:28
Yagisanmhz: yes!! I can send them to school - I'll become fully nocturnal, I can sleep again02:28
Yagisanmhz: I don't no, I don't use the bittorent clients with ubuntu02:28
Yagisans/no/know02:29
YagisanI use azureus for my bittorent stuff02:29
ogramhz, just clisk a .torrent file in firefox, gnome-bitorrent will care for it ...02:29
Yagisanbut that needs a java 1.5 runtime, most likely sun's, although blackdown, or ibm should do it.02:30
mhzogra: hehehe, you make life too easy :)02:30
ograheh02:30
YagisanI'll be very happy when gcj runs azureus02:30

mhzI know i am no advanced GNU/Linux user but I do know I prefer to do things manually so I have little clues of what's going on, ogra02:31
mhzotherwise, I'd probably use Mac OSX :)02:32
mhz.oO(well, I wouldn't because it is not Free as in freedom)02:32
ograyou can also download the .torrent file and open it manually with gnome-btdownload ;)02:33
mhzhehehehehehehehehehe02:33
mhzogra: I really like your sense of humour (very diff from other german guys i have met)02:34
=== Yagisan wonders, how many people would still use torrents, if you took all the porn away ...
=== mhz has never used torrent, only wget -c
ograedubuntu testers ? (hopefully=02:35
YagisanOf course, with porn gone, there would be no need for adsl2, as suddenly there would be excess bandwidth for all02:35
mhzBTW, why is torrent so recommended?02:35
ograbecause it saves bandwidth for everyone ...02:36
YagisanIt spreads the bandwidth load over all people involved02:36
Yagisanyou can get you download done quicker02:36
ograas all p2p apps do :)02:36
Yagisans/get you/get your02:37
YagisanOf course, that does rely on you also sharing the download to at least a 1:1 ratio02:37
Yagisanmhz: Don't forget to watch milk battle :)02:38
mhzYagisan: 80%02:40
mhzYagisan: but is that the very best featured?02:41
mhzsorry, ogra can answer too ;)02:41
Yagisanmhz: best feature bittorrent client ?02:44
Yagisanmhz: My personal preference is azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/02:44
Yagisanmhz: but as I said, needs java 1.5 compatible runtime02:45
Yagisanmhz: IIRC there may be an ubuntu package for it in dapper02:45
mhzhmm, interesting02:46
ografor 1.5 ?02:46
ogranot as long as ibm doesnt release a 1.5 blackdown package02:46
Yagisanno, the azureus package02:46
mhz.oO(maybe Emacs have a 'torrent' like plugin :)02:46
YagisanIIRC I thought I saw it either in ubuntu or debian02:46
Yagisanperhaps debian mentors02:47
=== Yagisan grabs things out of many repos
=== mhz notices azureus sounds very simila to 'zaurus', and he has to sell his SL-5500 before christmas :(
ograoh, why is that ?02:48
Yagisanhe wants a new model ??02:49
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu
mhzbecause I ordered 3 laptops (well, I chose and this friend payed for them) from eBay and 2 were never sent to us. Now I gotta give this friend back his money :(02:50
Yagisanmhz: hmm, did you use paypal ?02:51
mhzYagisan: 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
mhzYagisan: yup! but we never knew that the transaction 'filing complaints' lasted 60 days tops.02:52
mhzand 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
mhzopps... i rephrase 'cr*p' wit 'cramps'02:53
=== mhz has no idea if cramps is an english word, it just sounded similar
Yagisanmhz: so the cocksucker delayed you until you could not get a refund. Bastard.02:53
mhzyup02:53
=== Yagisan has an intense hate for ebayers like that
mhzand I also complained to eBay because if you read 'normal' info, they never mention about 60 days.02:54
Yagisanmhz: your english is great if you understand what I called that seller02:54
mhzYagisan: 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
mhzhehehe02:55
mhzthx02:55
Yagisanogra: IBM does have a Java 5 for download02:55
ograoh02:55
Yagisanbut not blackdown02:55
ogragah02:56
YagisanI just checked both02:56
Yagisanmhz: I'm sorry you where ripped off :(02:56
ograwe only have access to the blackdown sources and cant include binary only packages in ubuntu02:56
mhzogra: in ubuntu-user ML there was a bit of complaining about devels decisions (4 lines email). Can i paste them?02:56
Yagisans/where/were02:56
mhzYagisan: sheeps happens02:56
ograsure, but i read -users02:56
mhzohhh. zaro killed02:57
mhzzero02:57
ograi wonder why people never help while the specs are worked out and the decisions are made but complain very loud 7 months later02:58
mhzyup!, I 100% agree with you02:58
Yagisanogra: I complain very load bout the specs I care about, but I couldn't go to canada02:58
Yagisanogra: so, in dapper, I still won't have decent multi-lingual input :(02:59
mhzI wish to think it is a matter of 'not knowing how to get involved'02:59
ograYagisan, the specs are on the wiki ... and are worked out there02:59
ograYagisan, scim ? 02:59
Yagisanyep02:59
Yagisancan you say breezy was a total regression02:59
mhzpasting...02:59
mhz> MTA is important, I vote 'yes'.02:59
mhz> Have you talked to the Devel guys?02:59
mhzAbsolutely. Some of us would like to use MUAs that don't suck, like Mutt.02:59
mhzPlus, mailx is used to send email from scripts all of the time. These02:59
mhzpeople dumbing-down Linux and making it less useful are making me want02:59
mhzto go use FreeBSD.02:59
Yagisanogra: at least it is on the agenda03:00
ograi 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
ograso a scim team would probably help03:00
ograthe prob is that we dont have enough devs for it ...03:00
Yagisanogra: yep, I've met minghua in -motu03:00
ograi personally don use scim 03:01
ograbut i see the need03:01
ograespecially if we want to gain more on the asian market03:01
Yagisanogra: well, in my case, uim the alternative, only works in gnome apps, and breaks more the half of universe03:01
ograbut its all gpl, right ?03:02
Yagisanogra: If you even want to communicate with asia, it needs to be fixed03:02
mhzBTW, 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
Yagisanyep, all gpl03:02
mhzand 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++
ogramhz, nope, he wont 03:02
ograjust poke him03:02
mhzokis03:02
mhzso, based on your answers... no good devel would get pissed off?03:03
ogramhz, the mail stuff is one apt-get from the CD away... i dont see the issue there ...03:03
ograyup03:03
ograespecially not jdub...03:04
mhzogra: sure, I know, that's why i only asked if that person had talked to devel guys.03:04
ograYagisan, btw, are you a slug member ? 03:04
mhzYagisan: 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)

mhzinteresting03:09
kjcolemhz, Sitting here waiting for Elkner to arrive.  (But I'm early.  We're scheduled for 10 this morning.)03:09
mhzbut I prefer NAT Geo or Discovery :)03:10
kjcoleogra, 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
mhzkjcole: please send my huge thanks to Elkner as well, because you 2 meeting on a sunday at 10 AM.. is very heroic!03:11
mhzand you are meeting to work not just to play cards03:11
mhzor role playing03:11
ograkjcole, i dont think the launchpad supermirror is ready yet, you'll have to resort to your server for now03:11
Yagisanogra: I'm a monkey, where is slug located ?03:12
=== mhz still loving BZR
kjcolemhz, 10 isn't heroic -- last week's 8:30 on a Sunday *THAT* was heroic. ;-)03:12
mhzwow! yup!!03:12
ograkjcole, the fastes way to have push working would be to run a ssh server on your server and use sftp pushing03:12
ograbut sftp is bretty slow for push, so probably an rsync server would be cooler03:12
mhzrsync is nice, very cool03:13
kjcoleogra, 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
ograjust make sftp possible to the dir you have your branch in ...03:14
mhzkjcole: maybe Yagisan 'gifted non-sleepy-sec-expert' may help03:14
kjcoleAs 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
ograthat sounds like a server prob03:16
YagisanIs the server aggressively firewalled ?03:17
kjcoleogra, yeah, my thought as well.03:17
YagisanI've occasionally forgotten to open a port for ssh03:17
=== Yagisan will brb. time to do fathers duties :( I can smell it from here
ivanNo slug, no snail! I want to use kturtle. Who use this junior instrument?03:18
kjcoleYagisan, 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
kjcoleYagisan, 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

kjcoleogra, 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
Yagisanthanks ogra:03:28
ograoh, i wouldnt do that 03:29
kjcoleogra, so, it's made me a bit shy of such things.03:29
ograi'd just maintain a local branch and merge the changes locally, to push it later03:29
Yagisankjcole: ouch03:29
ograhas the advantage of someone having the control over the tree ...03:29

ograoh, a complete server ?05:19
jelkneryeah05:19
ograisnt that a bit much for one branch ? 05:19
jelknerit would cost 7.99 per month05:19
jelkneri could set it up until launchpad is ready05:19

jelkner(so only a few months)05:19
ogra*now05:19
ograprobably even weeks05:19
jelknerwe can cancell the virtual machine any time we want05:20

jelkneranyway, can we check back with you if we have trouble getting bzr to work05:20
ograsure 05:21
=== jelkner goes off to setup bzr server...
ografor the normal usage thats fine, if it comes to bugs or deeper internals, #bzr is the better bet05:21
jelknerunderstood05:21
highvoltagehi ogra!05:21
ograwhat i said to kjcole already, 05:22
ograyou should maintian the branch rather locally05:22
ograto have some control about the commits05:22
ograand only have one person who is the central master and megres the different branches05:22
ograhey highvoltage :)05:23
ograat least thats what i do with code, to examine the changes first05:23
highvoltageogra, 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
ograhighvoltage, either as package in dapper or from my bzr branch05:24
highvoltages/formally/previously05:24
ograhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/bzr-archive/student-control-panel-0.1/05:24
ograi worked out the vnc implementation spec last week...05:24
ograi'll code it the next time i have some spare time that i can spend on it05:25
highvoltagecool, downloading now via APT05:26
ograso the only missing bit is to work out a sane approach for remote execution of commands, which is the most tricky bit to make securely05:26
highvoltagemy ISP went down about two weeks ago too, so now the only internet access i have is through GPRS :(05:26
ograall other stuff is cosmetical ..05:26
ogragah05:26
ograthats bad05:26
highvoltagesounds almost impossible from a security point of view.05:27
ograbtw, did you see the release announcment ? 05:27
highvoltageno, I didn't.05:27
ograi thought that for vnc as well, but i think i found a half way secure implementation now05:27
highvoltagewhich release announcement?05:27
ograhttp://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2005-December/000927.html05:28
ograprobably also intresting for jelkner ^^^05:28
ograbut it went to edubuntu-devel anyway05:28
highvoltageoh 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
ograhmm you need a launchpad admin for this ? 05:29
ogradoesnt it work through the UI ?05:29

fitzwillieAnyone available to give a first time installer a hand with some problems?06:30
ografitzwillie, you read the install notes page from the opic ? 06:30
ogra*topic06:30
fitzwillieogra: I've read everything I can get my hands on, espeically serching for the particular errors I'm getting, and no luck06:31
ograso whats your prob ? 06:31
fitzwillieAfter 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 it06:33
fitzwillieand I've tried every mix of the switches suggested in the help menus06:33
ograthere is also a media check on the CD ... it runs qite long, but checks every sector on the burned disk06:33
fitzwillieCan I run that from the boot prompt?06:34
ograeither use expert install or go "back" at every point of the installation 06:34
ograit will drop you into a menu06:34
ogranear the bottom there is "media integrity check"06:34
fitzwillieI 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 start06:35
ograprobably your CD rom doesnt like the media ... i have an apple around that only boots from certain media06:35
fitzwillieheh, that would be just my luck.  Though I've tried two different types of CD media.06:36
ograi found exactly on out of five types i have that boots on it ...06:36
ogra*one06:37
fitzwillieack.  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
fitzwillieahh well, thanks anyway.  I'll go try something else.06:39
ograwhat kind of HW is that ? 06:40
fitzwillieP3, 266mhz, 3gb HD, 160mb ram06:41
ograsounds fine ...06:42
ograand the CDRom ?06:42
fitzwilliehaven't sorted that out specifically - looked around the bios but couldn't determine the specific06:42
ograscsi or ide ? or any weird kind of soundblaster driven kind ? 06:43
