[12:19] <npmccallum_> Anyone know the status of edubuntu dapper?  Does the install from daily work as a server install?
[12:26] <digitalnova> how do i give ME the default user full rights to do whatever I want on the ubuntu? i.e. drag and drop files into folders without getting (permissions) error
[01:12] <Lord_Athur> hi all, is there a traslator english-spanish and& vice-versa to install via apt?
[04:24] <mhz> OT: dont kill me but this guy actually made his Falcom Millenium toy from Bruger King the case of his pen-drive http://www.noticias.com/articulo/31-01-2006/eduardo-mendez/bricomania-usb-52db.html
[05:30] <mhz> jsgotangco: hi
[05:30] <mhz> do we have meeting 2morrow?
[05:30] <jsgotangco> mhz, hey! long time no chat
[05:30] <mhz> indeed
[05:31] <jsgotangco> edubuntu?
[05:31] <jsgotangco> no idea
[05:31] <jsgotangco> they are in london at the moment
[05:31] <mhz> oh
[05:31] <mhz> on their knees?
[05:31] <jsgotangco> distro sprint
[05:31] <mhz> oh, right
[05:32] <mhz> jsgotangco: can i ask you a M$ question?
[05:33] <jsgotangco> sure
[05:35] <mhz> jsgotangco: thx. My wife has this light laptop (Compaq M300, no Cd drive to boot from and only a USB floppy) with a 700 MHz Intel, 10 GB and 192 MB of ram
[05:36] <mhz> She wants to use Linux instead (I can boot it and installit via NetBoot) BUT she definately needs AutoCad and Vector programs
[05:37] <mhz> jsgotangco: so any ideas how she can actually run M$ only for those 2 Programs and live in Linux 90% of the time ?
[05:37] <mhz> Obviously, when I install Linux I'll format and partition her HD
[05:38] <jsgotangco> i think autocad can run on wine
[05:38] <jsgotangco> not sure about that vector thing
[05:38] <jsgotangco> a lot of people really need autocad on linux
[05:39] <mhz> unfortuantely AutoCAD is a standard
[05:44] <mhz> jsgotangco: but usine wine would mean to ge more HW?
[05:44] <mhz> +t
[05:45] <jsgotangco> more memory rather
[05:45] <mhz> hmmm
[05:45] <jsgotangco> i get to run some pretty games on winecvs and they eat more ram compared to running it natively in windows
[05:46] <mhz> and in order to run Wine, will she need to "install" windows anyways? or it is a matter of downloading a ROM?
[05:46] <mhz> install = boot from CD which she just can't
[05:48] <jsgotangco> no
[05:48] <jsgotangco> wine uses a fakewindows root thing
[05:48] <jsgotangco> its not really windows
[05:48] <jsgotangco> you still need the installer of the apps you want to run wine with though
[05:50] <mhz> oh
[05:50] <mhz> so the potenial good news is just a matter of getting more ram
[05:50] <mhz> as she will need no M$ CD
[05:50] <mhz> only AutoCAD installer
[05:50] <mhz> ?
[05:53] <jsgotangco> yeah
[05:53] <mhz> okis, thx jsgotangco 
[05:53] <jsgotangco> unless AUTOCAD asks for the windows CD :/
[05:54] <mhz> you 're kidding me?
[05:54] <mhz> is that even possible?
[06:04] <jsgotangco> i dunno
[06:04] <jsgotangco> some win apps do that
[06:04] <jsgotangco> but its been rare
[06:04] <jsgotangco> before, any networking config requried a reload of the origianl libraries
[06:04] <jsgotangco> not so much now its been better (strangely)
[06:04] <mhz> geee!
[06:05] <jsgotangco> not sure if autocad does directx too
[06:05] <jsgotangco> gotta eat lunch brb
[07:51] <edgaroot> nobody talks?

[12:59] <JaneW> Edubuntu screencast ^
[01:02] <spacey> meeting this afternoon?
[01:04] <juliux> i think now we have 12:03 UTC
[01:09] <spacey> ok
[01:31] <tecs> hi, im planning to isntall edubuntu for my lil sister. but i see kde as a easier desktop imo. if i use the ubuntu cd, and download the edubuntu packages and kubuntu packages will that have the same result as to installing edubuntu and downloading kubuntu-desktop?
[01:33] <spacey> you install any of them and just install edubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop. but edubuntu-desktop its not really useful ify ou use kde
[01:33] <spacey> only thing is a few programs
[01:34] <ogra> kdeedu, the tux4kids suite and gcompris mainly 
[01:34] <spacey> you might as well install the software manually and change the background to something in edubuntu-artwork :P
[01:34] <tecs> so its more usable if the environment is gnome?
[01:36] <ogra> its all developed and integrated with gnome ... usability is your chioce ;)
[01:36] <ogra> if you find KDE more usable and dont want to use gnome, go for a kde based install ;)
[01:36] <tecs> ok, well im jsut more comfortable with kde, but what do i care its for my little sister hehehe thanks
[01:37] <tecs> thanks guys:) see you later
[01:38] <tecs> still downloading edubuntu hehe thanks again
[01:38] <ogra> :)
[03:16] <lucasvo> ogra: how did you do your hackergotchi?
[03:16] <lucasvo> is there an easy way, how to make shadow around a square box?
[03:31] <ogra> yes, the drop shadow function from gimp
[03:48] <lucasvo> ogra: hm, where is it/
[03:48] <lucasvo> ?
[03:49] <ogra> somewhere in the menu
[03:50] <JaneW> heard of this? http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1010
[03:50] <JaneW> we have a community memeber offering to package it....
[03:59] <jsgotangco> its only in spanish :/
[04:00] <jsgotangco> but it sure is on-tangent with edubuntu's goals
[04:02] <spacey> made with gambas:p
[04:03] <ogra> *yawn*
[04:04] <jsgotangco> heh
[04:22] <mhz> ogra: hi there!
[04:23] <mhz> ogra: did the meeting take place today?
[04:23] <mhz> ogra: did you notice I was very lost to finish last meeting's agenda in the tech part?
[09:08] <dcadmin> anyone alive?
[09:09] <juliux> dcadmin, yes
[09:10] <dcadmin> I need some help as rapidly as possible... I'm setting up edubuntu for a daycare that a student group and myself are providing free computer help and support to
[09:11] <dcadmin> all the hardware is detected and seemingly working fine, but gcompris won't play audio
[09:11] <dcadmin> it will do so if I launch it from a termnal after ensuring it's set to play music and fx
[09:11] <dcadmin> but not if I launch it from the gnome menus
[09:12] <dcadmin> any ideas?
[09:12] <juliux> hm sorry no idea
[09:24] <dcadmin> \sh, any idea for my problem?
[09:25] <\sh> what? I wasn't online until now..and don't have a backlog
[09:25] <dcadmin> gcompris won't play audio unless it's launched from a terminal
[09:26] <dcadmin> it makes the reading games sort of useless
[09:27] <\sh> hmm..did you file a bug? so ogra or I can test it somehow....dapper or breezy? 
[10:37] <khermans_> can someone tel me how to edit the kernel boot params for the client machines?
[10:37] <khermans_> where is that data storeD?
