[01:09] the only one i can find is from emboot [01:09] how can i know my actual cpu frequency and temperature??? [01:10] axl000, from within edubuntu? [01:10] yes [01:10] whit a command [01:11] at least the frequency [01:11] 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' [01:11] are u sure that show me the actual frequency?? [01:12] the right now freq? [01:12] define frequency, it could mean a few things [01:12] lol sorry for my english [01:12] example [01:12] centrino 1700mhz or 800mhz [01:13] right - cat /proc/cpuinfo [01:13] i need to know the right now freq, not the max or min [01:13] oh [01:13] mmm [01:13] then [01:13] hrm [01:13] cat ...

[01:14] you got me..not sure [01:15] thanks [01:16] i try openning openoffice, and the speed change [01:16] lol [01:16] but i still need the temp [01:16] :[ [01:18] try cpudyn, that might give you the current freq. since it does dynamic scaling [01:19] or maybe powernowd [01:21] i find the solution "acpi -V" [01:21] thanks anyway [01:22] oooo, nice === LaserJock is now known as LaserJock_away === iGotNoTime [n=joshua@cpe-65-189-240-199.woh.res.rr.com] has joined #edubuntu [01:26] Can I get a bit of support? [01:26] I am having serious issues with sound devices [01:27] I just bought a new USB headset and it is recognized and working, but not in my telephony programs [01:27] In my SIP softphone and in Skype both it will not allow me to change the sound device [01:27] it is greyed out and unclickable [01:28] yet in the sound devices settings such as my mixer it shows and is working and adjustable [01:28] how do I enable the device across the whole box?

I would think that this is a feature that might not be a good idea for an LTSP install anyway, I wouldn't want 2-4 sessions going on each client [01:50] lns, good point. switch user also requires gdm, which edubuntu doesn't use on clients [01:50] lns, please file a bug [01:50] url me ;) [01:50] i can't find it :( [01:50] launchpad.net/distros/edubuntu/+filebug [01:50] thx [01:51] make that /ubuntu/+filebug [01:51] ahh ok [01:52] also, for edubuntu/ltsp specifically I would recommend against the shading when you select log out, it's very slow and choppy over a 100mbit network [01:52] dunno how hard it would be to disable that [01:53] any of u guys know NX? [01:53] Sergi0, i was checking nx out yesterday a little [01:54] looks pretty cool, but proprietary [01:54] its damn fast, im trying one of the testservers, connection is real nice [01:55] but isn't this more like vnc than ltsp? that's what turned me off [01:55] you already have to have an OS to run it [01:56] hmm i've didnt go that far, just checked the site and run it [02:00] can anyone help with my sound problem please? [02:01] My SIP phone the audio device for both ringing and calls is set to 0 [02:01] iGotNoTime u got sound on the headset? [02:01] but my USB headset is not listed as an option, in fact nothing can even be clicked [02:01] yes through edubuntu [02:01] but not with any voice clients [02:02] even when it is set to primary sound card [02:02] it is completely configurable in the sound settings of edubuntu, but not selectable in any apps [02:03] hmm [02:03] an in others apps? [02:03] as in Gizmo, Xten and Skype [02:03] the option to change device is greyed out === axl000 [n=axl@93-51-89.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #edubuntu [02:04] im not sure i can help, maybe ask in #ubuntu or search google/forum [02:04] :) [02:04] thanks anyway :) [02:05] iGotNoTime, did you try running these programs as root to eliminate any security restrictions on the sound device? [02:06] negative good call [02:06] will try now [02:06] just sudo start it? [02:06] sure [02:06] as long as you're a sudoer [02:08] that did it! [02:08] Thank you so much! [02:08] Ins you are godlike! === neurogeek is now known as neurogoogle [02:11] w00t ;) [02:12] thanks! [02:12] iGotNoTime, just please don't use root as a fix [02:12] :D [02:12] fix your permissions instead [02:13] so basically I need to find a way to allow the sound settings to be controlled by my user? [02:13] iGotNoTime, try verifying if you are a member of the 'audio' group [02:13] ok thank you again :) [02:13] no prob. =) glad i could help [02:14] does the "audio group" have a secret name? [02:14] there is no audio group in my groups list [02:14] could explain alot about the problem LOL [02:14] ;) maybe [02:15] let's check my edubuntu install [02:15] could it be daemon? [02:15] i wouldn't imagine [02:15] do this: cat /etc/group | grep audio [02:15] also, whatever device your usb headset is using [02:15] iGotNoTime: there is an 'audio' group [02:15] ok [02:15] what's the dev name of your usb headset === ealden [n=ealden@203.76.211.214] has joined #edubuntu [02:16] ok found it, didn't see the check all box :P [02:16] ahh [02:16] are you on a thin client doing this? [02:17] Ins negative [02:17] the dev name I don't know in the GUI it simply says Logitech USB Headset [02:18] I think they are seperated as DSP and DSP1 [02:19] ok bad news, it says I AM a member of the audio group [02:19] so it is a different group that the headset is on maybe? [02:19] you probably need permissions to access the sound device (headset) [02:20] find out what the /dev filename is for it and change permissions to allow your user r/w access to it [02:20] then logout/login [02:21] how do I find dev filename for the device? [02:21] and where do those permissions get edited from? [02:21] dmesg [02:21] look for when you inserted the usb headset [02:22] it should show a /dev/*name* assign when you put it in [02:22] edit it from the terminal [02:24] ok thanks again for all the help :) [02:25] trying to reboot now :) === iGotNoTime [n=joshua@cpe-65-189-240-199.woh.res.rr.com] has left #edubuntu [] [02:26] Can anyone help me find a walkthrough for enabling sound for edubuntu thin clients?

If it is possible to split everything into hours, we'll know how much we can do a day [04:16] what did you think of: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToCookEdubuntu/RolesAndResponsibilities [04:16] mhz: maybe you have some doc experience to make such a expected hours calculation? [04:17] spacey: it's good for now ^_^ [04:17] would be a good idea to do that per chapter [04:17] mhz: you can't split per hour ... rather chapter, or article [04:17] hmmm [04:18] but can we know and estimate how much hours we need in total? [04:18] if more authors work on chapter, then divide per article [04:18] mhz: we need a lot of work .... really lot ... [04:18] yeah, hence my concern [04:18] I would expect everything to be written by, April 20 [04:19] then we'll go with more agressive reviews [04:19] ok, let's say april 15th and have 4 intensive days for corrections [04:19] oh [04:19] I see [04:19] 20th + some days [04:20] ok, so lots of work = X hours ? [04:20] aprox. [04:20] depends on number of authors, 10 hours per chapter? [04:20] if reasonable chapter [04:21] an hour estimate per chapter would be good [04:22] that is not needed for now [04:22] I believe at least [04:22] I'll be doing a rough tech QA when they submit it, and we'll have intensive QA once we hit April, 20 [04:24] the way I see it is: 1st, get to know total amount of hours for the whole cookbook / 2nd, make a list of priority chapters and estimate total amount of hours /3rd, massive request for help /4th, set deadline with contributors answering to the requesto for help /5th, designate readers /6th, review all work and make corrections /7th, move on with rest of chapters [04:25] obvioulsy, it is key to estimate an average of hours needed per each designated chapter [04:25] because maybe contributor is perfect for the chapter BUT he can offer less hours than needed === vincenzio [n=vmarks@adsl-065-015-231-005.sip.rmo.bellsouth.net] has joined #edubuntu [04:27] no worries ... that's why he/she can write articles for the chapter [04:27] chapters are divided into articles [04:29] cool [04:29] so each author commits to articles? [04:31] yes, or if he/she is able, they can contribute to entire chapter [04:31] but in ways of articles ;) [04:31] spacey: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToCookEdubuntu/Deadlines [04:32] mhz, you may look as well :P [04:32] techwise first then language wise? [04:32] Pygi: chapters dived in articles? [04:32] how do you picture that? [04:33] well, let's say we have "Introduction" (but we don't) [04:33] there could be articles "Philosphy" "Why Edubuntu" "etc" "etc" [04:33] and such ;) [04:34] spacey: so we want techwise first? [04:34] well i think it makes more sense [04:34] I think we should get everything checked for normal english, but ok ^_^ [04:34] i agree, so far to 100% [04:34] since tech changes, changes text [04:34] yup, true [04:34] and then you introduce new language bugs [04:34] :) [04:34] exactly [04:34] i think checking for normal english is also a process which should happen constantly [04:34] + techie is faster to write [04:35] (less words) [04:35] spacey: yes, it will ... but this is a intensive testing period ;) [04:35] yeah ok [04:37] spacey: I'll be able to check all tech-wise every time article is submited/changed [04:37] ok === mhz also prefers techie 1st, then we go from less to more [04:38] mhz: you checkt the points up for the meeting on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToCookEdubuntu/ ? [04:38] chapters needs some love [04:38] yeah, I checked but I am getting ready to leave for my meeting [04:39] :( [04:40] spacey: ok, changed a few things ... but I lost those good looking mail icons :( [04:41] right [04:41] what do you mean?:P [04:41] in that maintainers contact ... [04:41] i still see them [04:41] now some bad icons are there :P [04:41] but i have the edubuntut heme [04:41] who cares:p [04:42] ah :P [04:42] I've edited some subpages as well ^_^ [04:42] I have some general idea on how we should do the meeting ... ;) [04:42] not on wiki tho ;) [04:43] it's gonna take ages to discuss all ;) [04:43] joy, so much conflicts on the page (!!!?) [04:43] Pygi: for the meeting just follow the agenda [04:44] spacey: yes, agreed, but you'll see ;) === Yagisan [n=jamie@60-240-205-203.tpgi.com.au] has joined #edubuntu [04:45] G'day spacey.
