wadebhello, I have a project that I want to submit to edubuntu.  can anyone give me some tips on where to get started?07:05
Burgundaviawadeb, which project?07:05
=== highvoltage [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #edubuntu
wadebburgundavia: it's called "cuecard", it's a (previously) windows flash card program that I have ported to GTK (using wxWidgets)07:06
wadebburgundavia: a windows installer is available at http://www.download.com/CueCard/3000-2051_4-10380167.html?tag=lst-0-107:07
wadebburgundavia: I'm still learning how to package it for ubuntu.07:07
Burgundaviathat is the first step07:07
Burgundaviathe issue with wx is that it is not installed by default07:07
Burgundavianor is it in "main" which is security supported. Any application that is shipped by default must be in main07:08
Burgundaviato get into main you need to have your application security checked, as well as any deps07:08
Burgundaviabut don't let that discourage you07:08
Burgundaviaeven just having it packaged is great07:08
wadebis it possible to submit using --disable-shared?  then it would only link dynamically to gtk07:09
BurgundaviaI have no idea, you would need to talk to people who actually cut code07:09
wadebok, I'll keep working on packaging and report back.. thanks07:09
Burgundaviawadeb, if you need help with packaging, the people in #ubuntu-motu can help07:10
Burgundaviathey deal with all of "universe", the unsupported free software07:10
wadebreally?  great, I'll check over there.07:11

PetarisYagisan: Hello05:43
YagisanPetaris: G'day05:45
YagisanPetaris: how are you ?05:45
Petarisnot bad, you?05:45
PetarisDid you ever get a chance to play with that novell client?  I keep missing you in here.05:46
YagisanPetaris: fine, very busy with real life(tm), I should have been in bed hours ago05:46
Petarishaha, How late is it there?05:47
YagisanPetaris: I have had a brief look - just a sec I made some notes, I'll see where I put them. 3:47am05:47
PetarisYagisan: oh, its not late its early  ;)05:48
YagisanPetaris: heh - actually, if the baby is true to form, he'll wake up wanting a feed sometime in the next 15-20 minutes05:50
PetarisYagisan: How old is he?05:51
YagisanPetaris: he is 7 weeks. He'll wake up, then wake his 23 month old sister up, before going to sleep again05:53
PetarisYagisan: ahh, fun05:53
=== Yagisan whips himself - yes fun
YagisanPetaris: you have kids ?05:54
PetarisYagisan: nope, a 3 mo neice though05:55
YagisanPetaris: ok - found my notes. Most of the package is binary code only - can't see source for it05:56
YagisanPetaris: however05:56
=== jouni__m [n=jouni@laku42.adsl.netsonic.fi] has joined #edubuntu
=== sankarshan is now known as sm|asleep
YagisanPetaris: I did find the source for the novfs kernel source05:57
YagisanPetaris: that is gpl05:58
YagisanPetaris: other parts are under a novell eula05:58
PetarisYagisan:  Hrm,  Do you think it could work with edubuntu though?05:59
YagisanPetaris: that novell eula does not mention it is redistributable at all05:59
PetarisYagisan:  Bummer, but people could still download it from novell06:00
YagisanPetaris: I'm not sure - I made a note to run ldd on the binaries, but I haven't tried that yet06:00
PetarisYagisan:  I wonder if just running alien to change the rpm to a deb would work06:00
YagisanPetaris: not always - distros are source, but not always binary compatible06:01

PetarisYagisan:  Ok06:01
PetarisYagisan:  There was a novell guy (developer) in the pilot-link channel a couple weeks ago, if he stops back I'll see if he can shed light on this06:04
YagisanPetaris: you can try it. but I don't think it can be in Ubuntu proper, as except for the kernel module, I don't think it is open source06:04
YagisanPetaris: at least the EULA seems to indicate it is not - part of novells competitive advantage strategy it seems06:05
PetarisYagisan: having it included with edubuntu was never my thought, just having it be able to work with edubuntu for those who have a Novell infrastruture.06:05
YagisanPetaris: if you alien the rpm, it may work - it installs most (but not all) stuff under /opt06:06
Petarishrm06:06
PetarisYagisan: I don't have a novell setup ATM to test it on, I needed to blow away my test box to work on something else06:07
PetarisYagisan: I'll try to setup another one and give it a try06:08
PetarisYagisan: If it works this could be a very nice selling point for edubuntu06:09
YagisanPetaris: qemu may work, vmware workstation will (30 day free trial, make up you vm's then use the free vmware player to run them)06:09
PetarisYagisan: I have the full version (paid for) of VMware workstation06:10
YagisanPetaris: It's nice isn't it (for a non-opensource app) 4.5 ? 5.0 or 5.5 ?06:11
PetarisYagisan: I'll give it a try06:11
PetarisYagisan: 5.0, and I've used it for a long time06:11
YagisanPetaris: if 5.0, your 5.0 key will work with 5.5 :) free upgrade06:11
PetarisYagisan: 5.5 has usb issues, or so I've heard06:12
Petarisbrb06:12
YagisanPetaris: I tried 5.5 because it was supposed to support 64bit guests, but my 64bit cpu isn't supported :(06:13
Petarisback06:14
PetarisYagisan: Which cpu?06:14
PetarisYagisan: AMD Athlon64 Opteron are06:15
YagisanPetaris: early model amd6406:15
PetarisYagisan: er, and opteron06:15
PetarisYagisan: hrm06:15
PetarisYagisan: I run vmware 4.5 on a amd64 3200+06:16
PetarisYagisan: Thats at home06:16
YagisanPetaris: 32bit guest is ok - but no 64bit guest06:16
YagisanPetaris: I wanted 64bit guests - so I was rather disappointed06:17
PetarisYagisan: Ahh06:17
PetarisYagisan: Ok, I thought you meant the host06:17

juliuxselmys, what is your problem?10:17
selmysinstalled 5.1 and all signs indicate network should be working but it's not - ifconfig ok, route ok, lspci ok, dmesg ok, etc. etc.10:18
juliuxand what doesnt work?10:19
ogra_ibookdid you give the right IP in the installer ? 10:19
selmysyes IP info is right. Hardware works with Knoppix10:19
selmyscan't ping anything except self10:20
platoscan you ping to the address you have configured for yourself (not localhost)10:22
selmysyes, I can ping my own address. Also, resolv.conf is correct.10:23
selmysI'm suspecting maybe a bad iso image. Is that possible?10:25
platosdid you use a breezy image?10:25
juliuxogra_ibook, what do you think about a edubuntu thincliente database?10:26
ogra_ibooksure, why not10:26
selmysnot sure what image. just downloaded edubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso10:26
platoswell thats the breezy one10:26
platoshm... and you have one card installed on your pc?10:27
selmysI have 2 NICs, eth0 and eth1. I tried each one with dhcp and static config but neither worked even though all indicators said it should.10:28
platosso dhclient wouldnt get anything with either of em... weird, the only thing i then could think off is a faulty netwerk cable...10:29
selmysI used the same cable with Knoppix and it worked with either card.10:30
platoswell you could try one reboot, and then see what happens10:31
platosand if that doesnt work, try the live cd first...10:31
selmysbelieve me I've rebooted many times. But I like your idea about the live CD. I'm going to download it and try it immediately. 10:32
platosyou have to use the normal ubuntu live cd though10:34
platosedubuntu hasnt got a live cd yet10:34
ogra_ibookplatos, it has a daily-livecd 10:34
platos;) i know10:34
platosbut isnt that still in alpha 10:34
platosor beta10:35
ogra_ibookwhich currently culd need some testers, since we're about to make the next development release ready10:35
platoshm well i have some time around next week, i'll give it a try then10:35
ogra_ibookits the third milestone release currently10:36
platosogra_ibook: i know i'm using flight cd2 right now, and i have a problem though10:36
selmyscan anyone tell me where I can download this live CD. I don't care if it's beta. At least it's something to try.10:36
platoshttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/releases/dapper/flight-2/10:36

ogra_ibookplatos, i guess the video output isnt plain X ... so the forwarding might fail ...10:38
selmysthanks. talk to you later.10:38
=== ogra_ibook has no clue about wine
platosogra_ibook: any hacks to this? it worked on breezy...10:38
ogra_ibookplatos, on the thin client ? 10:41
platosyes10:41
platos... i am using version 9.5 now though10:41
platosi was using version 9.0 on breezy10:42
ogra_ibookhmm, either a X regression or a wine regression then10:42
ogra_ibookyou could try to downgrade (if the dependencys allow) and check if its wine or X this way10:42
platosi'll go back to 9.0... i think that one worked10:43
ogra_ibooktell me if you have tested it and it works ...10:44
platoslol it works10:50
platosi took an old release of wine from the archive.ubuntulinux.com10:50
platoshang on i'll get the exact name10:50
platoswine_0.0.20050725-0ubuntu1_i386.deb10:51
Burgworkplatos, 0.9.3 had serious regressions10:51
platosthats the package that works on ltsp10:51
platosBurgwork: do you have experience with wine?10:52
Burgworkplatos, some10:52
platosBurgwork, I want to use sound in wine10:52
Burgworkhmm, should just work for some things10:52
platosBurgwork, do you know how? it is on a thin-client, sound already works for gnome10:53
BurgworkI don't know what audio backend wine uses. I suspect it tries to talk to /dev/dsp directly10:53
platoswell i saw that you can basically choose which audio its using10:54
platosi'll try some things out10:54
ogra_ibookuse esd 10:56
ogra_ibookif you want to use it on the thin client10:57
=== Burgwork steals the words from my mouth
platosok10:57
platosargh, i can choose out of alsa,arts,nas,oss,audio io(solaris) and jack10:59
Burgworkfc4 appears to havea  wine-esd package11:01
platoswell, apparently wine hasnt got those seperate packages anymore, now you only have to install one package for wine11:02
ogra_ibookgah, you can choose arts but not esd ? 11:02
Burgworkhttp://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2005/08/0069.html11:02
ogra_ibookyes, upstream asked for it11:03
platoslol and i've just installed the package that was made on 25-711:04
Burgworkplatos, try the latest from dapper11:05
platosalready tried that one, that one gives me a black screen whenever i run something on the thin-client11:06
BurgworkI would walk my way back through the versions11:07
Burgworkand have you reported these bugs upstream?11:07
platoslol i've just found out about them11:08
platosi'll report them tomorrow11:08
platosi gotta finish that server today11:09
\shplatos: what is not working with wine?11:18
ogra_ibookplatos, \sh maintains the wine packages in ubuntu currently11:19
\shsidenote: not maintaining, I'm trying to package them nicely :) scott ritchie maintains the original packages :)11:20
platos\sh: i get a black screen when i run a app with wine on a thin client11:20
platos\sh: and thats with wine version 9.511:21
\shplatos: which windows app? :) 11:21
platos\sh: lol an installer11:21
platos\sh: the dcom98.exe11:21
platos\sh: on the server it works however11:21
platos\sh: and i downloaded a previous version of wine out of archive.ubuntulinux.com and with that one it works11:22
platos\sh: i am currently downloading the cvs and compiling it from that11:22
\shplatos: well, I tested notepad.exe via ssh -X to my amd64 box and a i386 chroot of dapper with wine 0.9.5..and this works..11:22
platos\sh: lol weird11:22
\shplatos: so I think it's more upstream fault..there were other problems with wine 0.9.4 which were solved with 0.9.511:22
\shplatos: can I download this dcom98.exe tool somehow?11:22
platoshttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=08b1ac1b-7a11-43e8-b59d-0867f9bdda66&displayLang=en&oRef=http%3a%2f%2fwww.microsoft.com%2fcom%2fdefault.mspx11:23
\shok...I'll test it here again..and let's see :)11:24
platoswell on the server it works, but not in a thin-client boot11:24
spacey_ki<Burgwork> platos, 0.9.3 had serious regressions <- 0.9.4 is there also11:25
spacey_kii had sound on my breezy laptop11:25
spacey_kiwith windows app in wine11:25
platosyeah for me its a lil different... i have to have sound in my ltsp client11:25
spacey_kiplatos, i need that as well11:26
spacey_kiplatos, wine can't output to esd?11:26
platoswell it can11:26
platosbut not with the old packaged version11:26
spacey_kiplatos, i just installed the version on winehq.org11:26
platosand with the new one i got a black screen11:26
spacey_kithat package works11:26
