pips1JaneW, the meeting about the edubuntu website is about to start, right?12:47
JaneWoh dang, yes12:49
JaneWit's slipped my mind, because I didn't set a reminder...12:49
pips1JaneW, you forget!12:49
JaneW*blush*12:49
pips1:-)12:49
JaneWbeen arranging 3 sprints....12:49
pips1woah12:49
pips1well, I made some progress with the drupal test site in the last four days12:50
JaneWcool12:51
JaneWwe have 5 mins right?12:51
JaneWI'll brb12:51
pips1so, I guess people can have a peek... to inform their views regarding the future Edubuntu website12:51
pips1JaneW, sure12:51
JaneWok back - will be having lunch very late today ;)12:55
JaneWI had no idea so much of the day had passed already!12:55
JaneWare the other suspects here?12:55
JaneWhighvoltage, mhz and hno73?12:55
=== JaneW looks for hno73
highvoltagehi there12:56
=== heno [n=henrik@henrik.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #edubuntu
JaneWhello highvoltage 12:56
JaneWwonder where mhz is...?12:56
JaneWhi heno12:56
highvoltagehi JaneW 12:56
JaneWbtw if everone doesn't know; heno = hno7312:57
highvoltageheno is easier to pronounce than hno73, i'm glad he changed it12:57
henoyeah, sorry about the change of nick :p12:57
highvoltage:)12:57
henook, cool :)12:57
JaneWheno: it looks like you get to be moin advocate12:58
JaneWmhz is missing12:58
henoheh, ok12:58
JaneWwe need to get this sorted out today, once and for all12:58
highvoltageyes, please!12:58
JaneWshall we hear from the drupal corner and agree that unless drupal can convince us, we default to Moin?12:59
pips1ok12:59
=== sniff [n=sniff@218.25.204.36] has joined #edubuntu
JaneWpips1: no pressure ;)12:59
henoI think your point was good that whoever ends up maintaining it should have a key say12:59
=== pips1 is sweating and near to a nervous breakdown
pips1;-)01:00
pips1heno, agreed01:00
heno(which I don't plan on doing btw :) )01:00
highvoltageJaneW: i think both are great, so if it's not drupal, it should certainly be moin, and vice-versa01:00
JaneWheno: right, I think that's the crux01:00
pips1yeah, the maintenance is the big question01:00
JaneWhighvoltage: ita, to me it makes no difference, so like I say the person who gets the job so be happy and excited about what they are working on01:01
henoI don't know very much about the workings of drupal, so I wouldn't mind seeing a deployment up close anyway01:01
JaneWso do we know who will own it, or are there several part-time volunteers?01:01
pips1but, let's see what people think about drupal ... they can have a look at the test site i whipped up in the last few days01:01
JaneWok, the floor is yours01:01
henopips1: URL?01:01
highvoltagethere's not really much on that drupal site :/01:02
pips1https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuSiteUnderDevelopment?action=show01:02
pips1highvoltage, you are right!01:02
pips1the url are just a few important remarks about the test site01:03
pips1basically, it's a really old crummy test server, just to show you guys drupal quick, and then I will take the site down again...01:03
pips1here is the test site url : spock.isz.ch01:04
JaneWpips1: I was reading that whole page looking for the link to the site!01:04
pips1JaneW, that was on purpose! ;-)01:05
pips1hehe01:05
JaneWpips1: thanks - not01:05
highvoltageJaneW: he very tactfully forced you to read the entire page ;)01:05
highvoltagepips1++01:05
JaneWpips1: how easy is it to change the skin?01:05
pips1very easy01:05
pips1i can switch some skins right now for you guys :-)01:06
JaneWQ:will we have to creat new logins for whichever is chosen?01:06
JaneWpips1: please do...01:06
pips1maybe I wait a couple of mins so you can have a look at what's there now01:06
JaneWpips1: that's the default look right?01:06
pips1JaneW, new logins when we switch a skin?? no.01:07
highvoltageJaneW: drupal supports XML RPC so it should be possible to use your launchpad account, iiuc01:07
pips1JaneW, yes, that's the default look01:07
JaneWpips1: I mean we currently have wiki logins01:07
henochanging skins can be easy, but making a good skin takes time ...01:07
JaneWhighvoltage: ok thanks01:07
pips1heno, you are right about skins taking time01:07
JaneWalthough for these pages we don;t want general public access necessarily01:07
pips1btw, I realised that The Fridge is running with Drupal... does anybody know who maintains the fridge?01:08
=== ippfx [n=irvin@203.213.196.252] has joined #edubuntu
JaneWheno/ pips1 : would it mean redesigning for drupal, or could the moin look be imported in some way?01:08
JaneWpips1: daniel robitalle I think01:08
pips1JaneW, I guess we could modify the fridge skin...01:08
henoJaneW: much of the CSS and images could be ported I'm sure01:09
JaneWthe fridge has a nice skin, but we'd need to give it an edubuntu look01:09
pips1well, we'd have to ask daniel robitalle01:09
=== C-O-L-T [n=hunika@193.231.163.10] has joined #edubuntu
henoI didn't realise the Fridge used Drupal, cool.01:09
pips1JaneW, agreed01:09
=== pingu64 [n=jsg@125.212.126.231] has joined #edubuntu
JaneWok so who will run OUR site01:09
pips1ok, let me change the skin quick, just for fun01:09
JaneWpips1: you weren't able to give us much time before01:10
henojdub did much of the design work for the Fridge I think01:10
JaneWwhich is understandable01:10
pips1done, this is the spreadfirefox theme01:10
JaneWI expect in this case we will have a lot of work initially, and then things will settle down01:10
JaneWI like that one more01:11
highvoltagepips1: do you have the time resources to run the edubuntu drupal site?01:11
henoAh, that's cool01:11
=== highvoltage likes the sff theme
JaneWafter the initial intensive work, we will need someone to do ad hoc edits with a reasonable response time01:11
henoAnother key question: what will the site mainly be used for?01:12
henocommunity contributions?01:12
JaneWand then add new stuff and remove old every few months prolly01:12
pips1highvoltage, well i have some time, because I currently work part-time only, but it would be on an volunteer basis, it would be good if we can share the responsability and help each other out...01:12
JaneWI'd prefer to see 2/3 ppl contributing01:12
highvoltagepips1: i'm willing to do that. i had lots of ideas for the original drupal site too01:12
JaneWbut I think 1 person should lead01:12
pips1JaneW, agreed01:12
highvoltageat the moment my time looks better too, it seems that my free time will be better for at least the next month or so.01:13
pips1I am happy to help01:13
JaneWheno and highvoltage did a fantastic job last time01:13
pips1I'd be happy for highvoltage to have the lead...01:13
pips1or whoever volunteers 01:13
JaneWbut we haven't really made changes since then01:13
highvoltageJaneW: thanks, heno did a fantastic job on the layout though, i have to give him credit there.01:13
JaneWand I think we need to focus on adding new stuff and keeping up to date and interesting now01:13
pips1JaneW, yes, content is king01:14
highvoltageyes, mostly because we've been jumping between drupal and moin01:14
JaneWyes, I was surprised, I didn't expect our site and wiki to be as fab as they are :))01:14
highvoltageand partially because we've used moin mostly anyway for pages that should change01:14
henohighvoltage: nah, you had already done the basic design, I just tweaked :)01:14
JaneWcan we make a call? Drupal vs Moin?01:15
pips1but I also think that navigation is important, and the site should be very newbie friendly, since we are dealing with educators and kids...01:15
JaneWpips1: yes agreed01:15
JaneWultimately we should have sections for diff users01:15
pips1JaneW, you want to decide already ?!01:15
JaneWare there more arguments to be heard?01:15
pips1I haven't even pointed out some of the features, heck!01:15
henoperhaps I should show a moin site as well? 01:15
highvoltagei'm fine with both, but since mhz isn't here, i think it's important to note why the moin site is a good option01:15
henohttp://www.theopencd.org/01:15
JaneWthe fact that the frdige is using drupal means the deicision to go there is not that 'out there'01:15
henois one I put up recently01:16
JaneWheno: and www.ubuntu.com of course ;)01:16
highvoltageit's what ubuntu.com uses too, and users are used to editing pages in both01:16
henoIt has some locked down pages in front and more of an open wiki elsewhere01:16
henoJaneW: ah, that too01:16
JaneWheh01:16
highvoltageheno: that's the single most nicest moin page i've ever seen01:16
JaneWI like the crsip neatness of drupal and the frames, but I think moin could have those too01:17
JaneWso I am completely undecided01:17
JaneWhighvoltage: are you and heno in a mutual flattery club? ;)01:17
henohttp://www2.canonical.com/ is another01:17
pips1heno, wow you even got a forum in there!01:17
highvoltageJaneW: seems so, yes :P01:17
henopips1: It's a bit of a fake forum01:18
henobut it sort of works01:18
pips1JaneW, I know that the design is what appeals to everybody, but don't forget the features... :-)01:18
henoGood point. What features do we need?01:19
JaneWthe forum is quite nice, if it stays low-volume01:19
henoHow should a community contributor go about submitting something?01:19
JaneWpips1: ok tlak about the features, cos all I know is the look so far...01:19
pips1well, i think there are lots of features in use in the "ubuntu world" but they are a bit strewn all over different platforms/tools...01:19
highvoltagewhat's a big ++ for drupal, is the structure it provides01:20
henoHow tight should the editorial control be, etc?01:20
JaneWwell are we going to do a gallery or will that stay on art.u.c?01:20
highvoltagei think it should be on the drupal site, but there's no reason why it couldn't be on both, right?01:20
henohighvoltage: the problem I have foubd with structured CMSes though is that structure becomes limiting01:21
JaneWheno: I think we should keep a few front pages with restricted access01:21
henostopping you from laying things out the way you want01:21
highvoltageheno: i think i know what you mean, but in which way does it become limiting the most?01:21
highvoltageheno: is it that "stuck inside the box" factor?01:21
highvoltageoh i see.01:21
henoyes01:21
pips1heno, regarding editorial control, that's somewhat a political/policy question, personally, I like the open approach of wikis very much, I think it's the way forward, but on the other hand, a wiki needs a bit of learning and I think we could provide a more welcoming experience with some nicely done site01:21
henoI even wrote a rand about it http://www.theopencd.org/news/2005/newsite :)01:22
highvoltagethe reason why i think drupal is a good reason, is because i think more people will be likely to contribute at this stage. technically, moin is nicer. overall, i think that drupal is the best short-term solution (short term being the next year or so)01:23
pips1heno, regarding structure: that is the main strong point of drupal: it's not so different from a wiki, i.e. free floating pages, but you can then assign those pages with some structure, during creation (by the author) or afterwards (e.g. by a site architect)01:23
henopips1: yep. We once had a teacher use the official SFD wiki as a teaching tool, getting his kids to set up hundreads of random pages there. A bit of a mess01:24
henothough we were getting spammed ...01:24
pips1heno, huh? what was getting spammed?01:25
pips1ah, I understood01:25
henopips1: that souds pretty good, like topic tags in gmail01:25
pips1drupal's access control is simple to understand (unlike zope2 e.g.) but quite powerful01:25
pips1yes, the new version of drupal (which is in beta 4 and about to be released) features "free tagging" VERY NICE01:26
henoThe moin ACL is poweful and flexible, but a bit of a mess to set up; the syntax is confusing01:26
henothe ubuntu wiki has no access control at all, amazingly it works01:27
pips1heno, highvoltage, JaneW - I can send you some account login details, then you can have a look "behind the scenes"01:27
JaneWpips1: ok thanks01:27
henopips1: that would be cool01:28
highvoltagepips1: i'm familiar with drupals interface, i don't think i need one01:28
=== pips1 fires up thunderbird to send those emails he prepared earlier
highvoltageperhaps also of interest, check all the plug-ins and skins available at http://www.drupal.org01:28
highvoltagethere's a huge community behind it01:28
henowhat about the hosting itself? where will the site be?01:28
JaneWheno: good point01:28
highvoltageheno: on the edubuntu server01:29
henois that a data center server?01:29
pips1ok, i sent emails to heno, highvoltage and JaneW 01:29
highvoltageheno: yes, it's name is orcadas.ubuntu.com01:29
henopips1: would obviously need access to that01:30
pips1does anybody else here want to have a look ?01:30
JaneWty01:30
henoah, ok01:30
highvoltageheno: it's a big server that currenly hosts 3 html pages :)01:30
highvoltageheno: and that's it!01:30
henoah, yes I remember now01:30
henodo you need shell access to admin a drupal site?01:31
pips1heno, don't know, lemme check01:31
henowith moin, you probably do because we're using it in a non-standard way01:32
JaneWhighvoltage: we have our OWn server?01:32
highvoltageno, you don't need shell access for drupal admin01:32
JaneWhighvoltage: I thought we just had some space on another server?01:32
highvoltageJaneW: yes, for all practical purposes01:32
=== sniff [n=sniff@218.61.187.134] has joined #edubuntu
highvoltagei think heno has root, i'm not 100% sure01:33
pips1heno, no, you don't need root access 01:33
henono I don't have root access to any DC machines01:33
henojust the external pronto servers01:34
highvoltageJaneW: nope, initially we were going to get an account with an isp, but currently (and for the last 6 months), www.edubuntu.com is the only thing running from that server01:34
JaneWhighvoltage: oic01:34
JaneWhighvoltage: and the technicalities of getting Moin vs Drupal on there... is there much difference?01:34
highvoltageJaneW: sorry, i see testbed.kubuntu.org is also on that server now01:34

JaneWpips1: what poll?01:35
henodrupal is python based?01:35
pips1on the test site, under 'contribute'01:35
pips1heno, no php01:36
=== JaneW looks
spaceywheres the testsite?01:36

JaneWpips1: LOL01:37
pips1spacey, spock.isz.ch01:37
henoand the admins are fine with a php-based site? 01:38
spaceydapper drake is a duck as well =)01:38
henoHow is the data stored? in a database? how do version upgrades work? How easy is it to dump the content out of the system?01:39
pips1heno, in a sql database, either mysql or preferably, postgresql01:39
pips1small version upgrades can be done with patch files01:40
=== heno could never get the hang of databases
pips1large version upgrades also, I think, need to check01:40
pips1re dumping the content, hmm, don't know, I think there are some export options, the latest version definitely supports exports to docbook01:41

=== irvin [n=irvin@ubuntu/member/irvin] has joined #edubuntu
henoThe drupal solution looks fine to me (though I don't know much about the technical aspects)01:45
pips1heno, I think the wiki will still be used for much of the free flowing user contributions, but the point of the official site is to give newbies a nice base to get started, and offer ONE place for that... i.e. there is an forum on the site.... 01:45
henoI'd be happy to give advice on the layout and skinning of it01:45
pips1heno, cool01:45

JaneWI think let's vote here, then send results to mailing list01:47
pips1what happened to supporter no. 1?01:47
pips1mhz01:47
pips1?01:47
highvoltageone question, kind of in the defense of moin01:47
JaneWif there is no outcry the vote stands...01:47
JaneWpips1: I dunno01:47
highvoltagewhat will happen to all the existing moin pages, will we keep them, and continue to use the moin for the wiki01:47
highvoltageand keep both? or just have the drupal site?01:47
JaneWwell the ubuntu wiki is moin...01:48
JaneWand we tag onto that01:48
JaneWit's merged01:48
JaneWso I guess it has to stay moin...01:48
highvoltageso if we use drupal, we use both the druap site and moin?01:48
pips1highvoltage, I think we should have the wiki as a place for community contributions from more experienced folk01:48
JaneWwe need ppl to be able to search the ubuntu pages for support01:49
highvoltagein that case, we have very little to loose, becaulse we'll have the functionality of both01:49
JaneWhighvoltage: right, it;s just that we have to maintain both01:49
pips1highvoltage, yep01:49
JaneWwhich could be an issue01:49
pips1JaneW, yep01:49
highvoltagein that case, i'm all for the drupal site01:49
JaneWunless you drupal folk do it as you say :))01:49
JaneWok, let the voting begin01:49
JaneWall in favor of Drupal say +101:50
highvoltage+101:50
henoI will officially abstain so that mhz doesn't loose all faih in me :)01:50
=== JaneW kicks pips1
pips1highvoltage, but to be clear, the current edubuntu site content (locked pages) will be moved to drupal, and only the open wiki part will be kept at wiki.ubuntu.com01:50
pips1right?01:50
highvoltagepips1: yes, the locked pages01:51
henosounds right01:51
pips1+101:51
pips1:-)01:51
JaneWanyone else?01:51
pips1you?01:51
JaneWogra: ?01:51
pips1ogra, ping!01:51
=== JaneW is still undecided ...
JaneWI like the idea of drupal01:52
JaneWbut moin seems safer (yet somehow less exciting)01:52
JaneWok so far 2 to Drupal01:52
ograpong01:52
ogramorning, sorry, had a late night01:52
pips1JaneW, you said it yourself in the mail you sent out, before voting on drupal vs. moin, we need to decided on who is the main person responsible...01:52
pips1:-)01:53
JaneWall in favour of Moin say +2 (just so it's dfferent)01:53
JaneWpips1: right, so who will take ownership?01:53
pips1JaneW, that is so far out, your voting technique01:53
=== pips1 is rolling on the floor laughing
JaneWheno/ highvoltage/ pips1/ ogra / mhz: ??^^01:53
JaneWpips1: yeah sorry I didn't think it through very carefully... *blush*01:54
henoI still think Moin is a better choice, but it does take some care and feeding when used as a CMS01:54
highvoltagei can take ownership01:54
JaneWok for Drupal say Drupal+1, for Moin say Moin+101:54
highvoltagesorry, i've had some interruptions. aaagh! there's the phone again01:54
JaneWhighvoltage: will you manage it? I mean can spare the time?01:54
pips1highvoltage, good stuff!!!01:55
pips1applause! please01:55
JaneWpips1: and are you commiting to help?01:55
pips1JaneW, sure, as I said, i'm glad to help01:55
JaneW*bounce*01:55
JaneWwell then it's up to you and highvoltage really01:56
JaneWand you both said drupal01:56
highvoltageJaneW: at least for the next month or so, yes01:56
highvoltageJaneW: after that, if things get as busy again as they were recently, i'll find a replacement01:56
pips1highvoltage, you seem rather uncertain...01:56
highvoltagepips1: it's definately something i want to do01:57
highvoltagepips1: and i have time now01:57
pips1ok01:57
JaneWhighvoltage: well then we will take it now01:57
highvoltagepips1: once most of the site is up, the maintenance won't be so much01:57
henoIt looks ike the spread firefox theme can be modified fairly easily to look edubuntu-ish01:57
JaneWhowever if you 2 vanish and mhz and heno are left 'holding the baby' I will hunt you both down.. ok?01:58
highvoltageheno: i saw the same thing01:58
=== JaneW bats eyelids
henochange the header image and some colours01:58
highvoltageJaneW: yes, that's fine with me01:58
pips1highvoltage, yeah, getting the site up is the greatest effort, but I think the *content* needs constant encouragement... 01:58
JaneWheh, cool01:58
highvoltageheno: i think it will look even nicer than the real ubuntu theme, since the sff theme is so nice and smooth, i'm downloading it now to play with it01:58
JaneWogra: you ok with this?01:58
highvoltagepips1: yes, you're right, i think we can manage it by having weekly website meetings, and managing the site almost like the docteam does with it's documentation01:59
ograi'm ok with everything you decide here, the people who have to work with it count ...01:59
JaneWok, we can't change our minds again on this.01:59
highvoltageie, set regular, small achievable goals, etc.01:59
JaneWso the final verdict is Drupal01:59
JaneWand highvoltage will make sure it gets done, and pips1 is going to help02:00
JaneWagreed?02:00
=== pips1 hopes that all moin supporters say something at this point
highvoltageyes02:00
YagisanI know I have nothing to do with this - but are either drupal or moin in main ?02:00
ograone thing we should make sure is that we now *really* have a final decision ... we jumped back and forth with this topic ...02:00
highvoltagepips1: i think they (us) should be fine, since the moin site will remain02:00
Yagisanbecause I would not want to track security issues if eiter are not02:00
henooften the act of making a decision and getting on with it is more important than what the actual choice is02:00
henoSo, I think this is a good thing02:01
highvoltageok, so it's drupal, I'm emailing znarl on it, and that's the final word!02:01
Yagisans/eiter/either02:01
pips1ok, fine02:01
pips1Yagisan, don't know about moin, but drupal isn't in main02:02
pips1highvoltage, I recommend the drupal book that has come out not long ago02:02
JaneWI thin we did this democratically and we did give ppl notice of the meeting so they can't complain02:02
JaneWI'll send a follow-up note to the mailing list02:03
henoyep, good meeting. Thanks for inviting :)02:03
pips1JaneW, yes, thanks!02:03
=== heno has to go now
highvoltagethanks JaneW 02:03
JaneWhighvoltage: I have no idea what our dapper artwork will look like, but I like the current colour scheme etc that we have, so can you guys work with that02:03
pips1heno, thanks for coming too! see you!02:03
JaneWthanks heno, I appreciate your input02:04
=== heno -> lunch
=== JaneW needs lunch too
JaneWit got frgotten today, and now my stomach is reminding me02:04
pips1same here02:05
highvoltageJaneW: on that, it's definate that a professional is doing the artwork, right?02:05
pips1highvoltage, so you definitely have some time this month, right?02:05
pips1highvoltage, when can we get started? now? :-)02:06
pips1(well, after lunch)02:07
highvoltagepips1: yes. i'm downloading drupal for local testing, and i'm sending that mail to KArl02:07
pips1cool02:07
highvoltagepips1: i'm aiming to have a proto.edubuntu.org up by thursday02:07
pips1nice02:07
highvoltagepips1: i will escalate pesting levels accordingly to get it done ;)02:07

highvoltageYagisan: on edubuntu, i hope!02:09
pips1ah, jabber, haven't used that before, what client are you using for that?02:10

JaneWogra: I have it on my laptop02:19
YagisanJaneW: lies ! ;)02:19
JaneWwant a screenshot? :P02:20
ograJaneW, but you urgently need a LTSP lab .... (at least to decide about ldm themes) ;)02:20
YagisanJaneW: of LDM sure :)02:20
JaneWI have even stopped putting picture of my kids as the wall paper, in favor of the edubuntu girl02:20
ograheh02:20
=== ogra still has mustard on the screen :)
JaneWbut yes I need to see LTSP-proper in action02:21
divansantanaogra: Only problem is display manager (kdm/sdm/ldm - not sure??) is not sending out/accepting broadcasts XDMCP requests.Should I enable it in kdm file or xdm or ldm or neither?02:21
JaneWogra: !02:21
YagisanJaneW: your poor kids. I tried to attach mine to the screen, but the bluetac isn't strong enough02:21
ogradivansantana, ubuntu ltsp doesnt use xdmcp at all02:21
JaneWYagisan: use super glue!02:21
Yagisandivansantana: it is not supposed to send XDMCP request. that is not used02:21
ogradivansantana, ldm uses a ssh tunnel ... 02:21
highvoltageogra: that sounds good (what you described as ldm theme)02:22
YagisanJaneW: I need something non-toxic, mum might want them back one day02:22
ograYagisan, yes, mustard is way easier to get on the screen than girls :)02:22
divansantanaogra:Ok, the old LTSP thin clients booted off a knoppix CD which simply search for any X servers and connects to it via etherboot i think. Can Ubuntu LTSP do the same?02:22

JaneWhaha02:27
ograif its good mustrad ...02:27
Yagisanogra: I feel that looking at the locals ...02:27
highvoltagewe should have a quotes.edubuntu.org for some of the things said in this channel, that mustard thing is real funny!02:28
=== Yagisan notes he can sound really harsh when slightly sick
ograYagisan, oh, what good choices of local mustard are there in sydney ? 02:28
=== ogra didnt even know ...
Yagisanhighvoltage: expect me in it at least once a week02:28
divansantanaogra:Ok, the old LTSP thin clients booted off a knoppix CD which simply search for any X servers and connects to it via etherboot i think. Can Ubuntu LTSP do the same?02:29
divansantanaAt the moment get a gray screen with X cursor. But if boot off PXE works fine.02:29
divansantanaSorry to but you Oliver, just not sure how to do that02:29
Yagisanogra: well I like Australian mustard, nice and savoury, but Hot English is nice with Japanese food if you can't find Wasabi02:29
ogradivansantana, seems you run the ltsp.org classic ltsp ... that has not much to do with our ltsp implementation ... i'd guess you look at wiki.ltsp.org ...02:30
Yagisanbut the "chicks" here - they only exist in the photoshopped pages of mens magazines - because I sure as hell don't see them outside02:31
jsgotangconurse i need help!!!02:31
ograYagisan, ah, i thought you talked about the local mustard, indeed you meant the girls :)02:31
Yagisandivansantana: no - ubuntu ltsp does not work like that. that is an insecure method.02:32
divansantanaogra:I didn't do that implemtation at all, i promise. I install kubuntu breezy 5.10 and apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone & didnt run any ltsp-admin or whatever02:32
pips1highvoltage, I tried sending you a message on jabber but no luck... 02:32
divansantanaogra: This is only command I have run, ltsp-update-sshkeys could that break it?02:33
ogradivansantana, ah, moment ... you run a ubuntu ltsp .... and for testing you booted the client off a knoppix CD ?02:33
ogradivansantana, nope02:33
highvoltagepips1: i'm signed in and everything seems okay this side.02:33
pips1highvoltage, I just signed up, my jabber name is pips102:34
Yagisandivansantana: I wrote an etherboot/pxe howto on the wiki. I'm sure ogra remembers the link02:34
highvoltagepips1: pips1@?02:34
pips1yes02:34
ograbut you wont have luck with knoppix ... its using a local system based on, well, knoppix ... and will only work with old ltsp ...02:34
highvoltagepips1: @ what? @jabber.org?02:34
ogracan your users login on the server directly  ?02:34
Yagisandivansantana: just make pxe compatable boot cd images, and it will work fine02:34
pips1oh, yes, jabber.org (I think)02:34
pips1sorry, new to this...02:35
ograYagisan, i think his clients do PXE as i understood the above there is only a login problem with the default setup02:35
highvoltageno problem02:35
divansantanaogra: yes, they can. and via FreeNX and via PXE from thin clients, just some NICs/BIOS dont support PXE02:35
highvoltagepips1: a jabber ID looks like an e-mail address, eg: highvoltage@jabberafrica.org or jonathan@jabber.org02:35
ogradivansantana, ah ...02:35
Yagisanah02:35
divansantanaogra: Maybe like you said its because of knoppix doesnt work on ubuntu LTSP. I will try boot CD as per the wiki02:36
ogradivansantana, so Yagisans advise was right ... grab his howto and make boot CDs/floppies, whatever 02:36
ograyup02:36
divansantanaYagisan: Thanks I think it was your wiki that I have been reading.02:36
ograthat will solve it ... your etherboot clients will behave like PXE clients with it ...02:36
divansantanaogra: K will try that!! Thanks you TOO very much!! 02:36
divansantanaogra: awesome I hope so!! Thanks as always!!02:37
ogra:)02:37
=== Yagisan needs to get around to updating that howto
