| test | hmmm............... | 01:20 |
| test | anyone in this room? | 01:20 |
| Burgwork | test, you be there | 01:20 |
| test | cool. I'm obviously testing this out... | 01:21 |
| test | while i'm here... what are the minimum PC requirements to run edubuntu? | 01:21 |
| Burgwork | test, do you want to run a server or standalone? | 01:22 |
| mhz | Burgwork, yep, there is. The only diff here is we are doing it from Edubuntu server, using Edubuntu bult-in capabilities | 01:22 |
| test | um.... well at first a standalone, but down the road I might want to setup a mini network. | 01:22 |
| Burgwork | mhz, edubuntu and ubuntu wikis are the same | 01:23 |
| mhz | yup | 01:23 |
| mhz | same /data | 01:23 |
| Burgwork | mhz, did you just create that page | 01:23 |
| mhz | nope,had done it while ago | 01:23 |
| mhz | i finished it today :D | 01:23 |
| Burgwork | test, 600mhz or better, 1ghz for reasonable performance for standalone | 01:23 |
| Burgwork | mhz, would it be possible to move it to under Installation? | 01:24 |
| mhz | Burgwork, most netboot/local net boot info talks about installing tftp + dhcp server | 01:24 |
| Burgwork | test, for a dedicated server, 128 mb per client and 256 for the server mnimum | 01:24 |
| test | :-( Right now, the computers I'd be coverting are older Win98 machines (which are crash prone and slow) | 01:25 |
| mhz | Burgwork, my idea was to let people know that if you already have an edubuntu server (lab at aschool), then all you need is apache and edit a file | 01:25 |
| Burgwork | test, what do you have? | 01:25 |
| mhz | test, they will work perfectly as edubuntu clients | 01:25 |
| Burgwork | mhz, very cool and looks easy to follow | 01:25 |
| test | I don't know the specifics, I'd have to look at the machines at school tomorrow. | 01:25 |
| Burgwork | test, what year? | 01:26 |
| mhz | test, edubuntu is aimed for "labs" | 01:26 |
| mhz | test, meaning that you typically have a server + clients | 01:26 |
| mhz | clients can be very old | 01:26 |
| mhz | as they dont need more than a RJ45 card and some ram | 01:26 |
| test | So I could take my best machine and make it my "server", and the rest become my terminals (clients)? | 01:27 |
| mhz | while the server gets all the load of work | 01:27 |
| mhz | test, yup | 01:27 |
| mhz | thats the idea | 01:27 |
| test | OK, so edubuntu would be good for the clients, but what should be run as the server? | 01:28 |
| mhz | test, so your question is probabley "in a lab scenario, which are the min. reqs.?" | 01:28 |
| mhz | test, Edubuntu server | 01:28 |
| mhz | test, let's start all over again, ok? | 01:28 |
| test | yeah, what would be the min requirements for a server and what would be the requirements for a client? | 01:29 |
| mhz | Edubuntu is a Ubuntu distro aimed to facilitate school labs admin/teachers the admin of edu applications | 01:29 |
| test | ok. | 01:29 |
| mhz | Many schools usually invest on all machines in a lab | 01:29 |
| mhz | we propose: Invest ONLY on the server, not the rest | 01:30 |
| test | ok. | 01:30 |
| mhz | then, a server will have all edu apps | 01:30 |
| mhz | and clients will boot from server | 01:30 |
| mhz | (no HD needed in clients) | 01:30 |
| mhz | 1 server -> 15 clients | 01:31 |
| mhz | (that was an example) | 01:31 |
| test | ok. | 01:31 |
| mhz | 1 server: at least 1 GHz, 256 MB of RAM + 128 MB of ram per client attached (128 MB x 15) + 2 network cards | 01:32 |
| mhz | + 20 GB of HD (an example) | 01:32 |
| mhz | Obviously, you can play and make your own arrangments on discs | 01:32 |
| mhz | clients: 300 MHz + 64 MB of RAM + 1 network card | 01:33 |
| mhz | (ideally, PXE capable) | 01:33 |
| test | ok. | 01:33 |
| mhz | you boot the clients and all of them get to accesss simultaniously all the edu apps in the server | 01:33 |
| test | ok. | 01:34 |
| mhz | Of cours, the more apps you wanna access, the slower the server/network | 01:34 |
| mhz | because all X app. are ssh forwarded | 01:34 |
| mhz | got it? | 01:34 |
| test | yes, makes sense now. | 01:35 |
| test | thanks. | 01:35 |
| mhz | cool! :D | 01:35 |
| test | I'm trying to assemble a small network of computers for my class. But I have like 0 budget, but possibly 20-25 old PCs running Win98, all have network cards. I don't know processor speed or RAM amounts. | 01:36 |
| test | What you said makes sense, but I don't have any $ to buy a server. | 01:37 |
| test | Would it make sense to make each machine standalone? | 01:37 |
| mhz | hmmmm | 01:38 |
| bimberi | test: that would be fine but loses the benefits of single point of administration that the server setup has | 01:38 |
| mhz | yeah, it depends on processor, RAM, and users expectations | 01:38 |
| mhz | You can always use lighter desktops instead of Gnome or KDE | 01:39 |
| test | These would be kids browsing the web, using OpenOffice, etc. | 01:39 |
| mhz | like, wmaker, fluxbox, ion2, xfce4 | 01:39 |
| test | are those different versions of linux? | 01:39 |
| mhz | nope, Linux is a base of system apps and tools + a desktop of your choice | 01:39 |
| mhz | wmaker, Gnome, etc are the desktops running on top of Linux | 01:40 |
| test | like X-windows? | 01:40 |
| bimberi | test: minspecs for the standard install would be 500MHz Processor, 128MB RAM, 1.8GB HDD | 01:40 |
| mhz | Example: MSDos is the system and Win98 is the graphical interface users use with mouse and all | 01:40 |
| bimberi | test: I run edubuntu on a Celeron466 and it is tolerable but a bit slow | 01:41 |
| test | makes sense. I dont think those machines have a 500 mhz processor. | 01:41 |
| mhz | test, I have run linux on 300 Mhz pc's | 01:41 |
| test | hmmm....... any suggestions?? Win98 is so crash prone, the machines are nearly useless. | 01:42 |
| mhz | oviously, OpenOffice is not recommended for such old hw | 01:42 |
| test | I'd like to wipe the HDs clean and start fresh | 01:42 |
| mhz | my advice is, get the slowest older machine and install edubuntu BUT after install is done, install a lighter desjktop | 01:42 |
| mhz | (like wmaker) | 01:42 |
| mhz | try all apps in edubuntu using that desktop instead of default Gnome session | 01:43 |
| test | is that tough to do (switch desktops)? | 01:43 |
| mhz | if you like the output nd performance (will not be buggy at all!), we can think of some arrangements | 01:43 |
| mhz | not at a all | 01:43 |
| mhz | just one click | 01:43 |
| test | cool | 01:44 |
| mhz | test, once you install edubuntu, show up here and we can tell you | 01:44 |
| === mhz usually run linux in veryold machines | ||
| test | thanks... you've been very helpful!! | 01:44 |
| mhz | from 300 Mhz upto 700 Mhz, from 64 MB of Ram upto 256 MB | 01:44 |
| test | I'll give it a try and see where I'm at. | 01:45 |
| mhz | actually, I have not used anything over 1000 GHz in the last 14 months! | 01:45 |
| mhz | test, you are very welcome | 01:45 |
| mhz | i know you'll like it | 01:45 |
| test | new machines with windows are just too expensive. | 01:45 |
| mhz | edubuntu apps are VERY cool for KIDS and young leanrers | 01:46 |
| test | that's what I've been told. | 01:46 |
| mhz | yup, indeed and they are still crappy ! :D | 01:46 |
| test | These are kids with little at home... any computer exposure will be more than they've had. This will be great! | 01:47 |

| mhz | jsgotangco, hi tere, ping | 03:46 |
| jsgotangco | mhz, hi! | 03:46 |
| mhz | jsgotangco, howdy? | 03:46 |
| jsgotangco | im very much fine, im still on medication but doing good | 03:47 |
| mhz | mediaction? what happened? | 03:47 |
| zakame | medication? | 03:48 |
| jsgotangco | long story | 03:48 |
| mhz | ohhhhh. jsgotangco, I made my system unusable so I was forced to reinstall. My only chance is to netboot from client to homeserver. | 03:48 |
| jsgotangco | lol | 03:49 |
| jsgotangco | so what's up? | 03:49 |
| mhz | I do it ok, BUT I want to set my homserver to serv the files from CD not a local mirror. I place my serverIP/ubuntu (the dir where the CD is mounted) nothing happens and I get back to choosing a mirror :( | 03:49 |
| mhz | of course, after so many tries, my guess is local mirror would have been fine in the end :D | 03:50 |
| mhz | jsgotangco, I have not found a way to provide info APT accepts so it can immediately get all files from my homserver CD drive | 03:51 |
| mhz | OR, I could use a PCMCIA Cd drive connected to thin laptop, but it is not an option I can see easily | 03:51 |
| mhz | jsgotangco, any ideas about the syntax I should specify so APT just deals with it and let me serve files from homeserver? | 03:52 |
| mhz | jsgotangco, in the meantime, good news is I can run Debian Sarge in my hp jornada 728 :D | 03:53 |
| jsgotangco | ohhh | 03:53 |
| jsgotangco | how big is your card? | 03:53 |
| mhz | so far, 256 MB | 03:53 |
| mhz | but I hope I'll get a 1 GB soon | 03:54 |
| jsgotangco | i guess debian arm is very very efficient | 03:54 |
| mhz | very much, indeed | 03:54 |
| mhz | but it needs more space left in CF | 03:54 |
| mhz | so far, it runs many tools (command line) and ion2 for X desktop | 03:54 |
| jsgotangco | at 256MB, having X11 is nice | 03:55 |
| jsgotangco | i used to do that on the zaurus with a 128mb | 03:55 |
| jsgotangco | hehe | 03:55 |
| mhz | and leaves me with only 40 MB available after installing links2 | 03:55 |
| mhz | :D | 03:55 |
| mhz | jsgotangco, indeed. I still have the Z, running Opie now | 03:55 |
| mhz | Familiar + Opie | 03:55 |
| jsgotangco | its been a while since i reflashed my pda | 03:55 |
| mhz | jsgotangco, I have tested hp j728 with Familiar and opie, Familiar and GPE, Debian Sarge and ion2 | 03:56 |
| mhz | jsgotangco, it is always nice to see these "toys" run Linux | 03:56 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 03:57 |
| mhz | actually, this is also VERY nice propject http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/8514/access-linux-platform-shown-at-linuxworld/ | 03:57 |

| JaneW | hi all | 09:32 |
| JaneW | ok, I am upright today (albeit drugged), so let's get this cookbook meeting sorted out | 09:32 |
| JaneW | 1) Do we still want a) a cookbook b) be a meeting about it? | 09:33 |
| spacey | if we want a) we want b) | 09:43 |
| spacey | :> | 09:43 |
| spacey | how was the new website going btw? (since i missed the meeting yesterday) | 09:44 |
| ogra | JaneW, i think we're not strictly bound to it since we have highvoltages doc, but i dont think we should drop it | 09:44 |
| ogra | as long as someone wants to work on it, thats fine | 09:45 |
| jsgotangco | ohh someone is on drugs | 09:57 |

| === jsgotangco stares at JaneW " you are under my spell" | ||
| JaneW | for someone who barely takes a headache tablet, I am doing well popping painkillers and muscle relaxants | 10:13 |
| highvoltage | sorry, is there a meeting scheduled for the cookbook? | 10:14 |
| highvoltage | can i confirm some impressions of the cookbook I have? | 10:15 |
| highvoltage | as far as i understand, the reason for an 'edubuntu cookbook' was that it would be easier to take the tuxlab cookbook and modify that for an edubuntu cookbook. this proved not to be so easy, though. | 10:16 |
| highvoltage | and in the meantime, many different views on what the cookbook should be, and what it was initially decided on, existed, which caused some confusion. | 10:16 |
| jsgotangco | highvoltage, no, just no people doing it | 10:16 |
| highvoltage | also, the cookbook is a BEAST. too complicated to co-ordinate, so no one has time to co-ordinate it. | 10:17 |
| highvoltage | i would suggest that the big hairy cookbook gets modularised, and broken up, and then everyone does a piece (or more) | 10:17 |
| jsgotangco | yeah i managed to go around 1/2 till it got stuck because we had no Xorg running nicely during breezy milestones | 10:17 |
| highvoltage | it would be much easier to track who does what, assign deadlines, etc. | 10:17 |
| highvoltage | then, afterwards, you can combine it all to get a nice edubuntu manual. | 10:18 |
| highvoltage | jsgotangco: i remember that was pretty much a tough time for everyone involved | 10:18 |
| highvoltage | my suggestion would be, to focus less on the social challenges initially, and get the technical part as snappy as possible as fast as possible. | 10:19 |
| highvoltage | there are many docs available on ICT in education, social challenges in working in 3rd world countries, etc. | 10:19 |
| highvoltage | but not info on how to make the most out of edubuntu lab. | 10:20 |
| highvoltage | and that is this teams' responsibility, and no one elses. | 10:20 |
| highvoltage | i would suggest that, we have at least a coverage of the entire system, in a simple-english manual. | 10:21 |

| ogra | wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDCustomizationHowTo | 01:16 |
| ogra | there is a similar one for install anywhere | 01:16 |
| === highvoltage looks | ||
| highvoltage | i spelt customisation the 'uk' way as apposed to the 'us' way. that's probably why my searches failed :) | 01:19 |

| shomon | hi - I don't actually have or run edubuntu but a friend of mine is doing research on children and learning. is there a researcher or educator or something among you - who is maybe advising on software or usability, or contacts for one somewhere? | 03:04 |
| === ichigo [n=ichigo@12.46.111.102] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ichigo | hello ... there | 03:04 |
| shomon | (just looking on the website too, but no luck yet) | 03:04 |
| ichigo | how do I get my root directory back on edubuntu | 03:04 |
| === ichigo is now known as epistemic | ||
| ogra | shomon, i dont know how many are in here (i'm only a developer) but i'd suggest the mailing list | 03:06 |
| ogra | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel | 03:06 |
| shomon | ok great! will suggest | 03:06 |
| ogra | there are many teachers and educators subscribed | 03:06 |
| ogra | we're about to open a edubuntu-users list as well soon | 03:06 |
| juliux | ogra, the users list is a very good idea | 03:14 |
| === mhz [n=mhz@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | i dont think so, but the community asked for it, so the community gets one | 03:15 |
| juliux | do you want that the users ask on the devel list? | 03:16 |
| mhz | hey ogra and juliux | 03:17 |
| juliux | hi mhz | 03:17 |
| ogra | i'd liked to not have a -devel and -users list but an edubuntu list | 03:17 |
| ogra | but that doesnt work with the ubuntu naming scheme for mailing lists | 03:17 |
| juliux | than kick the -devel | 03:17 |
| juliux | ;) | 03:17 |
| ogra | so we're set up like all other ubuntu lists soon | 03:17 |
| mhz | ogra, after re-installing from net, and computer restarted to actually start unpacking and installing, after 5% of the process, I got errors and the process stoped. What is I need to restart in order to avoid doing all over again but just unpack and install? | 03:18 |
| juliux | ogra, there is also a bazaar list without -user or -devel | 03:18 |
| ogra | thats different | 03:19 |
| ogra | luncpad stuff ... not distro stuff | 03:19 |
| juliux | ah | 03:19 |
| juliux | and sounder ? | 03:19 |
| ogra | thats *the* initial list | 03:19 |
| juliux | *duck* | 03:20 |
| ogra | the first one that ever existed ... so its kept for general chatter | 03:20 |
| ogra | mhz, i fear you need to start over again ... | 03:20 |
| mhz | hmmmm., I guess that if we need more people to provide contributions (any kind and level) besides just 'use' stuff, we should have ML combining devel and usage. Maybe ejust adding a 'prefix' to the subject so we all know the 'category' of the email | 03:21 |
| mhz | so, juliux i guess i see your point and agree | 03:22 |
| juliux | ogra, it is possible to have aliases in mailman? so -devel and -user are on list but -devel get a preffix [devel] and -user get a preffix [user] ? | 03:23 |
| juliux | s/on/one | 03:23 |
| mhz | ogra, damn!, okis, I will. Because theonly ohter way I could do it is using Smart Boot Manager but so far, unsucceeded to boot from PCMCIA (even following instructions from site) | 03:23 |
| ogra | juliux, i dont get what you mean ... | 03:24 |
| shomon | well I think educators, researchers, policy makers in schools and around education should have a place to get tech-jargon free but humanities jargon heavy info on the benefits of using FLOSS in education and into the thought behind the games/software currently in the distro... but hopefully someone will just write a paper on it and they can read that... | 03:24 |
| ogra | we'll have a -users and a -devel list like kubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu have | 03:24 |
| shomon | cos it could be what tips the balance and getting a whole school to switch to edubuntu... | 03:24 |
| ogra | shomon, that was the reason to make the -users list | 03:24 |
| mhz | BTW, another 'plus' for Edubuntu is that it is a very good option for boot server and install-server. :D | 03:25 |
| ogra | but since we dont have many developers yet, the -devel list will get very silent | 03:25 |
| shomon | cool, I thought a users list would just be "can't find explorer" questions... | 03:25 |
| ogra | nope | 03:25 |
| ogra | its for all edubuntu related user stuff ... i.e. for teachers ... how do i use kalzium in my chem class ... | 03:26 |
| ogra | where do i find content for teaching ... | 03:26 |
| ogra | or for school admins ... how do i set up my ltsp server to do this and that | 03:27 |
| shomon | oh, I meant just as a first point of contact with edubuntu rather than day to day help/support | 03:27 |
| ogra | sure, that as well | 03:28 |
| shomon | from someone who is into it but has to convince clueless yet powerful people to authorise it's use across an institution :) | 03:28 |
| ogra | if i would consider edubuntu, i'd ask other users | 03:28 |
| ogra | which is what the list is for as well ... | 03:29 |
| shomon | I wonder what our local hacktivist organisation did... they considered edubuntu but went for mepis instead, I'm not sure why... they are not educators though... I guess it was their own support concern too | 03:29 |
| shomon | these are people who got a local primary school set up with mepis in the end... | 03:29 |
| ogra | in the end they have the same :) mepis is ubuntu based | 03:30 |
| shomon | yeah I guess :) | 03:30 |
| ogra | but mepis is a live distro ... | 03:30 |
| ogra | you wouldnt want to install that anywhere ... its unmaintainable ... | 03:30 |
| shomon | well, this was 1 year ago - who knows... maybe they have now regretted it! | 03:31 |
| ogra | heh | 03:31 |
| ogra | unless they run it from CD ... | 03:31 |
| shomon | naah. anyway, thanks a lot for the help - you should hopefully get a researcher asking questions about children learning soon! keep up the great work | 03:38 |

| Sergi0 | where to start for edubuntu tweaks for thin clients? execpt the wiki info? | 04:56 |
| ogra | the code ? | 04:56 |
| Sergi0 | no, not the code, just a good howto/info ltsp and edubuntu stuff - where to start if it works :) | 05:01 |
| ogra | there is not much yet, i'm still writing docs ... | 05:01 |
| ogra | jonathan started a nice doc for dapper | 05:02 |
| ogra | but thats neither complete, not in all areas correct yet | 05:02 |
| ogra | http://jonathancarter.co.za/docs/ed-gs/ | 05:02 |
| ogra | and indeed our official doc for breezy: http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes | 05:03 |
| Sergi0 | okay, ill take a look | 05:04 |
| === kgoetz [n=kgoetz@ppp232-141.lns2.adl4.internode.on.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| === kgoetz retries dist-upgrade... it seems to have half upgraded o_0 | ||
| Sergi0 | ahum, 397 updates on a fresh edubuntu breezy install :O | 05:07 |
| Sergi0 | thats even without the multiverse :O | 05:08 |
| Sergi0 | and universe | 05:08 |
| ogra | yes, we care about security :) | 05:08 |
| kgoetz | lol. sounds like 500 for a full dist-upgrade isnt so bad :D | 05:08 |
| Sergi0 | btw now im wondering, what if there is only an dailup connection for a school, how hard will it be to keep m updated? | 05:10 |
| kgoetz | i'm using a dapper kernel, got the dapper splash, but firefox still says Ubuntu 5.10. bizare | 05:10 |
| Sergi0 | kgoetz: thats jus the html | 05:10 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: not too hard. just needs a bit of planning | 05:10 |
| ogra | the page isnt updated yet | 05:10 |
| kgoetz | Sergi0: the whole network? or just a few boxes? | 05:10 |
| kgoetz | <grin> i see. at least its meant to be lke that | 05:11 |
| Sergi0 | just the server, if its a edubuntu ltsp network | 05:11 |
| Sergi0 | btw just testing it out, it not a real enviorement | 05:11 |
| ogra | kgoetz, do you run ltsp on the machine you just dist-upgrade ? | 05:11 |
| kgoetz | ogra: no, workstation | 05:13 |
| ogra | ah, k | 05:13 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: just set up 1 box with apt-cacher and have all other boxes use it as the apt server. only the apt-cacher box will download the updates, and all the othe boxes can get it at lan speeds. | 05:13 |
| Sergi0 | Yagisan: yes, but thats a local mirror for the clients, could be used in a normal enviorment, but for a ltsp? is not needed right? | 05:14 |
| Sergi0 | but, downloading 182mb (after a fresh breezy install) no-one will recomend that :) with dailup that is | 05:14 |
| Sergi0 | correction: 387mb downloading, will use 182mb on the hdd | 05:15 |
| ogra | Yagisan, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkWideUpdates might also be intresting | 05:16 |
| ogra | (once its implemented) | 05:16 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: my ltsp setup works fine with it. You said for a school, so one ltsp server per classroom = what 15 or so servers. Still makes it useful | 05:16 |
| Yagisan | ogra: I roll my own that does that sort of stuff. universe has most of what you need, without needing to code much. | 05:18 |
| Yagisan | s/to/too | 05:18 |
| Sergi0 | Yagisan: how many clients are connected at your setup per server? and what server hardware/speed u have? just curious | 05:21 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: Small business here. 1 server (that I broke over the weekend :-[ ) I have 4 terminals, and a local user (me) on the server, but only 1-2 terminals are in use at any time | 05:23 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: server = amd64 2Ghz, 1.5GB RAM , 600GB RAID0, 64bit ubuntu. clients various sub 350Mhz i586/i686 boxes with 64~144MB RAM, 32bit clients. | 05:25 |
| Sergi0 | networkspeed wise, is 10mbit fast enough for clients? (works here but is just not it) using 100mbit for lets say 6clients and 1 server also at 100mbit? could it be productive? | 05:25 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: I use fast ethernet here, switched | 05:26 |
| Sergi0 | thats 100 then? | 05:26 |
| ogra | 100mbit should be fine for 6 clients | 05:26 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: yeah, you should have no problems with that | 05:27 |
| ogra | i think junathan runs 20 over 100mbit | 05:27 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: I've tested 15 clienst on 100, and it was ok, but I haven't tested more | 05:27 |
| ogra | *jonathan | 05:27 |
| Sergi0 | okay thx | 05:27 |
| ogra | he recommends to have a gigabit uplink to the server if you run more though | 05:28 |
| Sergi0 | okay last question for now, a thin-client with good hardware AMD2800/1024mb/200gb etc, it is usefull to use as a thin client? or it then a normal install better? | 05:29 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: running on theory you can do 60 clients on 100mbit fine, so I'd say the practical limit is around 30 then. | 05:29 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: that would make a nice server. What is your goal with thin clients ? | 05:30 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: mine is I need *quiet* systems, but the sub 350's are too slow for my normal work, I have bandwidth to spare, but no cash to spare, so thin clients work for me. | 05:31 |
| Sergi0 | thanks Yagisan | 05:33 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: your welcome. I'm happy to chat and help you with your ltsp stuff | 05:34 |
| Sergi0 | Yagisan: me just testing some stuff, maybe ill try and ask some schools if it could be used (schools dont spend alot of money on there hardware around here) | 05:35 |
| Sergi0 | i got to go now, cya around | 05:37 |
| Yagisan | Sergi0: bye | 05:37 |

| tsurc | We had a guy from linux-format mag' round today, writing a feature article on linux in education. We just finished off an install of ltsp 4.2 and dapper and had some kids logging on and using USB sticks and stuff. Very impressed. Looks like it will be a great read....and a fantastic way to spread the word. | 07:03 |
| ogra | nice ... | 07:04 |
| ogra | but we dont ship ltsp 4.2 :) | 07:05 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 07:13 |
| === neurogeek [n=neurogee@201.211.166.11] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| tsurc | no it was a ltsp.org install | 07:33 |
| tsurc | but had LDA working with no fuss at all | 07:33 |
| tsurc | should be good if it could get into dapper as an add-on package | 07:33 |
| ogra | i'm packaging ltspfs today | 07:34 |
| ogra | ltsp 4.2 wont go in | 07:34 |
| ogra | else the work on ubuntu ltsp of the last months would have been pretty useless :) | 07:34 |
| tsurc | now your talking, so long as there are "easy" instructions on getting LDA to work | 07:35 |
| ogra | first the code must work ... then we cvan document it | 07:36 |
| ogra | it didnt work for quite some time and i'm not sure its ready for ssh based ltsp implementations | 07:36 |
| tsurc | There are a load of sys admins I know round here in Lincolnshire who would love to try it out. But only have windoze. So it really needs to be a very simple transition to get it up and running. | 07:36 |
| ogra | its neither promoted nor planned to have local devices for this release, it will be a goodie to have the packages to easily adapt the ltsp.org scripts to get it running | 07:37 |
| tsurc | else it'll just put them off for life....... and the community doesn't really need that. (in my humble opinion) | 07:37 |
| === raekism [n=raekism@c-68-38-189-125.hsd1.pa.comcast.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | our LDA will look very different next release | 07:37 |
| ogra | (we dont just trhow random scripts around, that needs proper integration which the ltsp.org impelmentation doesnt offer) | 07:39 |
| ogra | (doesnt and cant) | 07:39 |
| raekism | Hey all, I was just watching CNN about cyber stalkers and I thought of a great idea. | 07:39 |
| raekism | We should start a sub project that has built in protection for kids and build it into Edubuntu | 07:40 |
| tsurc | should be a lot better too, if the work that has gone in so far is anything to go by. You/Everyone have really done a great job so far. | 07:40 |
| jsgotangco | raekism: lock the desktop? | 07:40 |
| ogra | tsurc, i plan to use the fuse stuff for next release (ltspfs) but to integrate it properly with dbus (insteda of reinventing the wheel like lbus does) and nautilus/gnome-volume-manager | 07:41 |
| raekism | Yep, have some logging for kid login. Restrictions to chat. Some documents for parents. safe guard controls.... things like that. | 07:41 |
| ogra | tsurc, but that takes a bit more time than the ltsp.org solution ... thats why we dont have it this release | 07:41 |
| ogra | (ours looks prettier but lacks functionallity) ;) | 07:42 |
| jsgotangco | raekism: pessulus has a rudimetary framework for locking the desktop... | 07:42 |
| ogra | yes, pessulus or sabayon offer that functionallity | 07:43 |
| raekism | I am not aware of either, is that another flavor of Linux? | 07:43 |
| jsgotangco | no | 07:43 |
| ogra | nope, that are apps | 07:43 |
| raekism | app | 07:43 |
| raekism | ? | 07:43 |
| jsgotangco | those are apps | 07:43 |
| raekism | gotcha | 07:43 |
| ogra | google for either | 07:44 |
| raekism | thanks | 07:44 |
| Burgwork | http://gnome.org/start/2.14/notes/en/rnadmins.html] | 07:44 |
| jsgotangco | they are more into profiles rather than age-based restrictions though | 07:44 |
| raekism | Will do | 07:44 |
| ogra | but you can crate age based profiles ;) | 07:44 |
| ogra | *create | 07:44 |
| raekism | That would work, my daughter has her own Edubuntu box =-) | 07:44 |
| raekism | I am. I am around her when she is on, but i am thinking long term. She is 6 now and innocent. | 07:45 |
| jsgotangco | ogra: it'll be shiny if we actually default epi though :) | 07:45 |
| ogra | that'll take a lot of changes ... | 07:45 |
| ogra | first all firefox dependencys have to go | 07:46 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 07:46 |
| jsgotangco | hmm | 07:46 |
| Burgwork | they can be migrated to xulrunner | 07:46 |
| === jsgotangco just thought of something nifty to pessulus | ||
| ogra | thats the plan for dapper+1 | 07:46 |
| Burgwork | jsgotangco, upstream is vincent, so file a bug | 07:47 |
| Burgwork | he is quite receptive | 07:47 |
| jsgotangco | i'm going to pull source | 07:47 |
| ogra | or poke him in -devel :) | 07:47 |
| tsurc | I'm in favour of clean and pretty as apposed to full functionality that doesn't work all the time | 07:47 |
| ogra | tsurc, i dont know if ltsp.org's implementation doesnt work at any time, but we have different scopes ... they have to be distro independent and need to offer the most common solution... we can integrate it deeply into the system | 07:48 |
| tsurc | and as such will rock ! | 07:49 |
| tsurc | ? | 07:49 |
| ogra | i hope so :) | 07:50 |
| jsgotangco | good night | 07:50 |

| iGotNoTime | Ok, this time I am not spamming.. I just had the worst error I have yet seen and can not figure out why.... | 11:37 |
| iGotNoTime | I logged out to restart | 11:37 |
| iGotNoTime | wouldn't let me log in | 11:37 |
| iGotNoTime | so I changed sessions and the only session I can get in is CLI | 11:37 |
| iGotNoTime | It did give me a decent list of errors | 11:37 |
| iGotNoTime | Main problem looks like this I think: _IceTransTransNoListen: unable to find transport: tcp | 11:39 |
| iGotNoTime | Cannot create /dev/X | 11:39 |
| iGotNoTime | I don't know alot of these _Ice errors | 11:39 |
| iGotNoTime | does anyone have a suggestion? | 11:40 |
| iGotNoTime | I only have 40% battery left on this laptop :( | 11:40 |
| === yvesC [n=yves@zenobi.ycombe.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| iGotNoTime | ohh and biggest and last error : Unable to read ICE authority file: /home/joshua/.ICEauthority | 11:41 |
| ogra | mhz, still phone | 11:43 |
| ogra | iGotNoTime, sudo rm /home/joshua/.ICEauthority | 11:43 |
| iGotNoTime | just looking for laptop plug, doing it now | 11:44 |
| iGotNoTime | then exit? | 11:45 |
| iGotNoTime | after I entered password I am back to command prompt | 11:46 |
| iGotNoTime | You know I would understand errors if I messed with it, but I don't even use sudo. I changed nothing :( | 11:53 |
| iGotNoTime | maybe I didn't reboot often enough? | 11:53 |
| iGotNoTime | I am down to 22% battery on this laptop... Is there any way to get to back to what it was an hour ago, or do I need to reinstall and lose all my data again? | 11:57 |
| iGotNoTime | I need to shut down now, I will try again later. I hope you all have a great night :) | 12:01 |
