mhzjsgotangco: thx for those pictures04:35
mhzwere those from your cell phone?04:35
jsgotangcosome not all04:36
jsgotangcowell that's not my album04:36
mhzoh04:36
jsgotangcothat's from a friend04:36
mhzjsgotangco: i have made a background for edubuntu 6.04, but again it's darkish :(04:36
jsgotangcoi've seen them04:37
jsgotangcolooks good for xfce though04:37
mhzoh, this one I did today?04:37
mhzoh, yes! you are subscribed to * :D04:37
mhzanyways, I astill can't get to understand how AUC works04:38
jsgotangcoits terribly cumbersome at the moment04:39
mhzohh04:39
jsgotangcoan approver uploads and creates thumbnails then ftps those to a server04:39
mhzeeeeek!04:39
jsgotangcoso if you are broadband-challenged, download a 1280x1040 wallpaper won't cut it04:40
jsgotangcothen create a thumbnail then upload04:40
jsgotangcoeven in broadband the process is cumbersome04:40
mhzbut, there are web tools to do that04:40
jsgotangcoyes but you see we made our own tool from scratch04:40
mhzhehehe04:40
jsgotangcohenrik was discussing to moving it completely to moin04:41
jsgotangcoand have contributors uplod themselves04:41
jsgotangcolike what we have been doing to theopencd.org04:41
mhzyup04:41
=== mhz still complains he cant find time for OpenCD :( !!!
jsgotangcoif you can suggest a high-quality winfoss app, that'll do04:42
jsgotangcoi can just evaluate it04:42
mhzjsgotangco: what id we had a #ubuntu-moin so we can direct users to help them thruogh the wikiing process04:42
mhzautocad!!!04:43
mhz:D04:43
jsgotangcoubuntu-moin?04:43
mhzyup04:43
mhzhelping users on-real-time04:44
mhzshowing them wiking is not hard 04:44
jsgotangcook i have no time to support such though04:45
mhzi know04:45
mhzit's just that I have read (you too) many wiki complains, suggestions, ideas, etc04:46
jsgotangcoyeah04:46
mhzand maybe it is easier to help these people with troubles, to solve them together, by hand04:46
mhzstep by step04:46
mhzhaving an IRC support04:46
jsgotangcoi think you're the most qualified for this04:47
mhzhahahah04:47
=== mhz is just a fan
=== mhz commits harakiri every end-of-day becasue he still knows nothing about python
mhzbut surely I'd be glad to help04:48
mhzwell, henrik has learnt a lot too04:48
jsgotangcobut you're initiated it already,you're already qualified04:48
mhzyup, i guess04:49
mhz"but if I die on the field today, who will take my place and this flag and lead the victory?"04:50
mhz:D04:50
jsgotangcowe run back to the barracks04:50
mhzLOL04:52
mhzjsgotangco: can i make one last question before i either go to bed or back to Inkscape?04:53
jsgotangcosure04:54
jsgotangcoits almost lunch here anyways04:54
mhzoohh, okis04:55
mhzhere it's 00:55 AM of monday04:55
jsgotangcowhat's your question?04:56
mhzjsgotangco: as you know I need to use darkish themes and wallpapers (usually), BUT04:56
mhzmany web pages i visit they usually render in white background and "almost-impossible-to-read" words because they look like white too04:58
mhzbut when I use normal "whitey" themes, I see all web pages ok04:58
=== ulinskie is away: kain po muna
jsgotangcohmm05:03
jsgotangcowhite itself has many palettes05:03
mhz?05:03
mhzI mean, if i use a black based theme, I have this issue. But even if I use a grey one, that doesn't happen05:04

flintjsgotangco, anyone seen ogra this morning>03:31
mhzflint: why? what happens?03:32
mhzflint: probably they are on a plane right now03:32
flintmhz, gotcha.  how was the human virus business in london?03:33
jsgotangconope03:33
jsgotangcohe's probably still in london or about to go leave03:33
jsgotangcoor already at home i dunno03:34
flintI have got the lab set up here in Vermont, and I have a copy of edubuntu bb running03:34
mhzcool03:35
flintI hook up a crossover cable to a laptop and pxe boot perfectly and get to the famous lotr login screen (think eye of sauron)03:35
flintI try to log on with a known good name and I get nowhere...any ideas?03:35
mhz:D03:35
mhzyes03:35
mhzflint: 1st step... in the server, run $ ltsp-update-sshkeys03:36
mhzand then try to login from the laptop using a known user in the server.. BUT make sure that user is not already logged in03:36
flintno, not to my knowledge... lemme check... it is just a plain vanilla bb03:37

flintnow I gotta go back to my intermittend hardware problem...03:40
mhzflint: just remember that breezy only accepts logins from users that are not already logged in03:40
mhzin other words, you can login with a user only once03:41
flintI need to write this stuff up.  you will be my STAR!03:41

alejandroheh, the tftp working in the fedora, i dont know why it's not working with ubuntu with the same dhcp configuration05:11
alejandroit's extrange..05:11
spaceylook at the errors05:11
spaceyyou said earlier that it worked right05:12
spaceytftp05:12
ograalejandro, did you follow the ThinClientHowto ? 05:13
ograthere normally is nothing to configure, it should work out of the box05:13
alejandroogra, the clients work without problems, there were tested before with Fedora 05:20
alejandroogra, here we bought thin clients ready to use with LTSP05:20
alejandrothe problem happens with the ubuntu server :(05:20
ograalejandro, thats not what i asked ... fedora uses the old ltsp implementation, ubuntu has muecow05:21
alejandrospacey, worked right because I was running the fedora in the vmware05:21
alejandrospacey, ogra, can you send me your dhcpd.conf ?05:22
spaceyi can't05:22
spaceyto specific05:23
spaceybut examples are in the documentation05:23
spaceyyou can post yours on pastebin05:23
spaceyen i can check it for you05:23
ograalejandro, the default dhcpd.conf is what i use (since i wrote it for the package)05:23
ograsee the ThinClientHowto, its on that page ...05:24
spaceyalejando, your running normal ltsp on ubuntu right?05:24
alejandroyes05:25
ograspacey, define "normal"05:25
spaceyit should work, if it doesn't i think its better to ask for support in #ltsp. since you don't use the ubuntu implemention05:25
spaceyogra, ltsp.org05:25
spaceyversion05:25
ograthe normal ltsp on ubuntu is ltsp-server :)05:25
ograspacey, :)05:25
spaceyhmm05:25
spaceyok05:25
spaceyanyway05:26
spaceyi got the normal one working now05:26
spaceyso it works05:26
spaceythe ubuntu implementation was not stable enough05:26
spaceyin our situatio05:26
spaceyn05:26
ogranote that we'll drop support for the old ltsp with dapper05:26
spaceyogra, well you can still install it on top i guess?05:26
ograi guess so ... 05:27
ograif someone takes care of the packages in universe (i wont)05:27
spaceyit would hurt your eyes if you see it maybe ;p05:27
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu
alejandrowell, anyway i dont understand why in the ThinClient Howto, they use in the dhcpd.conf "ltsp" directory, when it creates a "lts" in tftp05:40
alejandroit's a bug?05:40
ogranope05:40
ograthe ThinClientHowto was written for the fully automatic muecow installation ... its perfectly right as its written there05:41
ograif you use the classic ltsp from ltsp.org, use their documentation ...05:42
alejandrowell, i'm using the ubuntu packages05:47
alejandro(in breezy)05:47
ograthe ltsp-server and/or ltsp-server-standalone package ? 05:48
alejandroltsp-server-standalone05:48
alejandrobut currently I'm using my own dhcp server05:48
ograthen you shouldnt use -standalone ...05:48
ogra(see the package descriptios of ltsp-server and ltsp-server-standalone)05:49
alejandrook, then ltsp-server and dhcpd no?05:50
ogranope05:51
ograno need for dhcpd if you already have one in your network05:51
ograjust make sure the dhcpd you have is set up correctly to point the clients to your ltsp server 05:52
alejandroah ok, but here in testing in an alone network, i need one05:52
ograyes05:52
ograthen you need to follow the ThinClientHowto ...05:53

paolobI was experimenting with my 40 clients, and I saw that the bottleneck in the clients' booting is the moment in witch the client says: "calculating modules dependencies": every client need almost 10 MB/s!10:29
paolobhi mhz 10:29
paolobin order to speed up the clients' boot, that moment is the most important, I think10:30
paolobmhz, is ogra away10:32
paolob?10:32
paolobogra, how are you?10:33
paolobmhz, referring to the "no free leases" bug, ogra had told me to reduce the lease-time in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf . That change doesn't resolve the bug, a lesses lease time is to be put in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf10:35
