juliuxogra, what do you think about this? http://www.juliux.de/ubuntu/edubuntudvdcover.png03:37
ogranice, but sadly doesnt gain us anything for dapper :)03:39
jsgotangcooohhh cd coverr03:40
juliuxjsgotangco, no a cover for a dvd box03:43
juliuxogra, we also will make a dapper version03:43
juliuxogra, we will make edubuntu dvd boxes for the cebit03:43
ograjuliux, re: dapper version for DVD box, thats nice ! 03:44
ograwe'll pretty sure get the pressed install CD this time btw ...03:45
juliuxcool03:45
juliuxfor the cebit we will burn dvds so we can give something about edubuntu away03:45

jsgotangcogrrr03:55
ogranobody answers my call for serial mice testing :'-(04:01
ogra*sniff*04:02
=== juliux has no time
ograits one command to issue ... not really time consuming ...04:03
ograbut anyway if nobody answers with some data we wont have serial mouse support and i'll have less work to do ... fine even :)04:04
jsgotangcoserial04:04
jsgotangcothis laptop has no serial04:04
jsgotangcoi wish it had04:05
ograi think thats the point ... and thats why we have this longstanding bug since warty ...04:06
jsgotangcoogra, do you plan to go to linuxtag?04:06
ogranobody has the equipment to even do tests04:06
ograjsgotangco, it overlaps with some other stuff iirc (have forgotten what )04:07
ograi'll surely be at FOSDEM 04:07
jsgotangcoerr FOSDEM is too soon04:07
=== jsgotangco is planning to go to linuxtag
ograbut FOSDEM doesnt clash with my dates04:07
jsgotangcoi still have a serial mouse somewhere downstairs but i doubt if it still works04:09
=== dsaa [n=dsaa@210.1.89.130] has joined #edubuntu
spaceyi don't have any serial stuff either04:21
spaceywhy do people insist using such stuff04:21
ogramany users of thin clients in poorer countries do ...04:33
ograbut its solved for LTSP already ...04:34
ogramdz just asked if i could solve it for the whole distro and add automatic detection04:34
jsgotangcoare you still in london?04:35
ograyup04:36
ograuntil tomorrow04:36

dungodungI've just installed Edubuntu05:14
dungodungbut my mp3s and videos won't play05:14
dungodungare there codecs I should install?05:14
ogradungodung, see the RestrictedFormats page on wiki.edubuntu.org05:15
dungodungwill do05:16
=== angeldodger [n=andrew@88-109-11-198.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #edubuntu
dungodunghow do I go about installing a .rpm?05:51
mhz_dinnerdungodung: sorry, it's been 4 years since I used rpm06:05
mhz_dinnerbut i guess you could do $sudo apt-cache search rpm06:06
dungodungthen why do they exist?06:06
mhz_dinnerrpm = are for redhat based packages06:06
dungodungoh06:07
mhz_dinnerwhile deb = debian based packages06:07
mhz_dinnerthey are already packaged for each distro06:07
dungodungso ubuntu is based on debian, right06:07
dungodung?06:07
dungodungwhich means that I shouldn't use rpms?06:07
mhz_dinnerhowever, you can always download the 'source' package (usually tar.gz) and compile it for your own needs06:07
mhz_dinnerdungodung: it means unless you know what you are doing, you don't need to use rpms06:08
mhz_dinnerdungodung: there is a Package Manager called Synaptics06:08
dungodungI know that06:08
mhz_dinneruse it to search for applications you need06:08
mhz_dinnerand it will install it for you taking care of dependencies and updating your system06:09
dungodungbut synaptic doesn't have what I want06:10
dungodunge.g. amarok, mplayer, pptpconfig, some codecs06:10
mhz_dinnerohhh, it does06:11
mhz_dinneryou need to enable it to look for those packages in the other repositories06:11
dungodungnot edubuntu06:11
dungodungand I can't connect to internet yet over edubuntu06:12
dungodungso I have to download some packages from WinXP for now06:12
mhz_dinnerohhh06:12
mhz_dinneri see06:12
dungodungI hope pptpconfig enables my wireless connection06:12
mhz_dinner:D then it is not a problem of your APT manager but you connecting to web ?06:13
dungodungand how do I install anything06:13
dungodung?06:13
dungodungmake install?06:13
mhz_dinnerdepends...06:13
mhz_dinnerif you get your .deb packages06:13
mhz_dinneryou run $ dpkg -i the_package.deb06:14
mhz_dinnerI guess synaptics can do that for you too06:14
=== pitux [n=pitux@196-240-90.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu
=== mhz_dinner not sure
mhz_dinnerdungodung: however, the easiest and fastest way (and more safe) is to get your edubuntu box connected to web06:16
dungodungwell that06:16
dungodungwell that's what I'm trying06:16
mhz_dinnerbut I have never used wi-fi yet06:16
mhz_dinnerdungodung: any chances you can try with cables?06:16
dungodungmhz_dinner: I found pptpconfig.rpm...06:16
dungodungmhz_dinner: cables?06:17
dungodungmy ISP suggested that I should buy a router (50E)06:17
dungodungand I don't feel like spending that much money06:17
dungodungthe other option is pptpconfig and I can't seem to find the appropriate one06:17
mhz_dinnerhehehe06:18
=== mhz_dinner NEVER trusts ISP's
mhz_dinnerthey hardly know more than any enduser06:18
dungodungwell, with my ISP, it should be NEVER^n (n->inf.)06:18
mhz_dinnerdungodung: can you tell us your network environment layout?06:18
dungodungnetwork environment layout? what would that be?06:19
dungodung:}06:19
mhz_dinnerexample:   ISP -> cable Modem -> home-server -> swithc -> boxes06:19
dungodungoh06:20
dungodungISP -> antenna on my roof -> some cables -> my computer (ethernet - wifi)06:20
mhz_dinnerdungodung: and your edubuntu box 'must' use wi-fi? can't it be ethernet cable while we get all you need?06:22
mhz_dinnerdungodung: ooh, you have only one computer?06:22
dungodungyes06:22
dungodungI found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3151606:22
mhz_dinnerand those "some cables" what are for?06:23
dungodungfor connecting wifi with the antenna06:25
mhz_dinnerdungodung: simple..  add the following to your repository.06:25
mhz_dinnerdeb http://quozl.netrek.org/pptp/ pptpconfig/06:26
mhz_dinnerdeb http://quozl.netrek.org/pptp/ php-gtk/06:26
