tinsleycMauricio, Good not to be alone.  Was starting to think there was something I was doing wrong.  Where did your install fail at?12:22
mhzat the 'Load installer components from CD' stage12:22
mhzI did try jus thiting enter (normal mode of install) and also 'expert mode'12:23
mhzthey both failed12:23
mhzat the same point12:23
tinsleycInsteresting, I am downloading the DVD version now, currently at 57%, see how that goes. I also have some other hardware I can test on.12:24
tinsleycProbably, won't know anything for another 2 hours.12:25

tinsleycNote to mhz, if you are around.  I am begining to wonder how much testing the daily builds go through, even in the compilation of the dapper edubuntu builds.  The DVD is a coaster, md5sum was wrong even though it appeared I had a good download.  Do we want to open a discussion on this somewhere?03:25

=== mhz_BBS is now known as mhz
mhzmy guess is that the best we can do is send an email to edubunt-devel lists03:52
tinsleycYou have more insights into this but it appears to me that the daily builds need some testing before they posted.  I must have made 3 or 4 coasters over the last two days including the DVD, all pretty useless and I checked the md5's before burning.  The DVD didn't pass the md5 but the download looked good so I burned it in not wanting to spend another 2 to 3 hours downloading.03:56
mhztinsleyc: I agree but without ogra knowing this, I dont think it will be better03:57
mhztinsleyc: and you tried flight 2 before?03:57
tinsleycYes, Flight CD2 works fine.03:57
tinsleycI went back to the first edubuntu CD that sort of installed but seem to hang during installing oo; did just a workstation install and it is hanging at 84% on oo as well.  Thought I might be able to get a good edubuntu base that I could then use apt get to make work including the edubuntu-server component.03:59
mhztinsleyc: edubuntu breezy DOES not hang04:00
mhzit llloks like it04:00
mhzbut it is installing04:00
mhzthe LTSP envirnments04:00
mhzenvironment04:01
tinsleycnope, everthing I have done with 5.10 Breezy has worked including the edubuntu full install with ltsp.04:01
mhzI bet it happens on the 50%04:01
mhzyup04:01
mhzohm you are talking about the dapper 'previous' cd?04:01
tinsleycon the 6.04 edubuntu install, the LTSP did hang at 50% but I just had it go past that point and then it hangs on the oo install/download from the mirror.04:02
tinsleycI am talking about the "previous" CD, the one I got close on installing; the last two current daily builds dont' go at all.04:04
mhzooh, okis04:07
mhzsorry04:07
tinsleycnp04:07
tinsleycDo we have any idea as to the developement team for the daily builds for edubuntu dapper or how mightone become involved?04:08
mhztinsleyc: afaik, we are Dapper dependant n 100%04:09
tinsleycbut dapper seems to work.04:09
tinsleycwe must be doing some remastering to incorporate the edubuntu implementation.04:10
tinsleycFor now, I am going let the installation sit on the oo piece and see if it ever finishes.04:11
mhzhehehe04:11
tinsleycIt is doing something as my router does show internet traffic resulting from that box.04:12

mhz    * edubuntu-desktop(powerpc) 04:37
mhzkjcole: what you mean?04:37
kjcolemhz, Possibly an American thing (I'm a cultural illiterate.): New Years resolutions are popular and often well advertised promises one makes to change for the better in the new year.04:39

kjcolemhz, e.g. I promise to exercise more and eat less.  I promise to be more diligent about reading Debian packaging guides... ;-)04:40
mhzlol04:40
kjcoleogra,Hi and happy new year.  Quick question before I file a bug:04:40
ograshoot04:41
kjcoleogra: (I wasn't sure where to search for existing reports).  Edubuntu: I have an edubuntu box that I've dist-upgraded to dapper.04:42
ograugh04:42
ogranever use *dist-*upgrade for development systems 04:42
kjcoleogra: I notice that the kig (geometry) package depends on libboost-python1.33.0c2a, which in turn depends on python-2.3)04:42
ograonly use upgrade and cherrypick the held back packages04:43
kjcoleApparently that's the ONLY thing in the in Edubuntu that depends on python 2.3...  Was wondering if it was possible to change that to 2.4 like everybody else in Edubuntu.04:43
ogralibboost-python1.33.004:44
ograno c2a at the end over here04:44
ograseems all right to me ...04:45
ograpowerpc is the same ...04:46
kjcoleogra: Hmmm... I haven't checked in the past 24 hours, but yesterday it was +c2a.  So does the version without c2a not depend on python 2.3?04:46
ogramust be a problem on your side ...04:46
=== kjcole is checking again to see if things have changed...
ograogra@honk:~ $ LANG=C apt-cache depends libboost-python1.33.0|grep python04:47
ogralibboost-python1.33.004:47
ogra  Depends: python2.404:47
kjcoleogra: Then as I suspected, I'd be embarrassing myself by reporting a bug.  ;-) Glad I checked first.  Thanks.04:47
ogralibboost-python1.33.0c2a shouldnt be existent anymore ... thats the bug 04:48
ograbut kdeedu was recompiled a month ago with this fix, i wonder why you got kig depending on this obsolete lib ...04:48
ogrado you have anything ales than ubuntu dapper repos in your sources.list ? 04:49
ogra*else04:49
kjcoleWell, as I say, it's a pretty bastardized system I'm playing around on. And yes: I point to jbailey's bzr repository, and a repository for BOINC (SETI @ Home).  I THINK those are the only two non-Dapper repositories I've got.04:51
ograhmm, i know for sure that jbailey doesnt offer kdeedu stuff :)04:51
kjcoleogra: I just checked.  On *THIS* machine, I'm not even using the BOINC stuff.  But I have two repositories pointing to bzr related stuff.  Jbailey's and04:54
kjcoleOops: 3.  ~jbailey, ~scott, and bazaar.canonical.com  (I added them following instructions I found a while back at:04:56
