[02:56] <bobulator> happy easter people!
[02:57] <bobulator> simple question today probably with a negative answer... is there any way to make the language selectable on the thin clients?
[03:02] <highvoltage> hi bobulator 
[03:02] <bobulator> hey highvoltage
[03:02] <highvoltage> "happy easter people" sounds in my head like "shiny happy people" from R.E.M.
[03:02] <bobulator> oh god
[03:02] <bobulator> id like to take that back
[03:02] <highvoltage> hehe :)
[03:03] <highvoltage> bobulator: i'm not sure
[03:03] <bobulator> they dont really seem to have much language support as it is, im guessing theres probably several things preventing it working...
=== yvesC [n=yves@lns-bzn-50f-81-56-207-189.adsl.proxad.net]  has joined #edubuntu
[03:04] <bobulator> as always i m always seeking for the, "oh, just apt-get install package X" answer ;)
[03:05] <Yagisan> bobulator: as someone that also needs that support, it seems that at the moment, the answer is no :(
[03:06] <bobulator> boo :(
[03:06] <Yagisan> bobulator: you would want to file a bug on the ldm package
[03:06] <bobulator> i;m gonna try and rope one of the eritrayans into doing some translation work at some point...
[03:08] <bobulator> yeah good thinking
[03:08] <bobulator> have you had much luck with using scim to change keyboard setups on the fly, Yagisan?
[03:10] <Yagisan> bobulator: no, not since hoary. Actually, it is rather frustrating for me at the moment. It works fine if I log in with a non-english system setting, and not at all if I log in with english :( 
[03:11] <bobulator> right!
[03:11] <bobulator> yeah i think the main problem is when people have webmail accounts
[03:11] <Yagisan> bobulator: I have a need for scim to work, but the menus etc in english, as I'm an english native speaker
[03:11] <bobulator> they cant really type passwords in...
[03:11] <bobulator> ah ok
[03:11] <Yagisan> bobulator: I can even access my data via the command line!
[03:12] <bobulator> cool!
[03:12] <Yagisan> not without having to press tab tab tab enter anyway
[03:12] <Yagisan> not to self. learn to type
[03:12] <bobulator> :D
[03:12] <bobulator> i dont really get why scim doesnt work, i mean you can enter shortcuts and stuff, they just dont work
[03:12] <Yagisan> I have data that can't be easily accessed since the upgrade from breezy
[03:12] <bobulator> maybe i should file a bug on that too...
[03:13] <bobulator> because of filenames?
[03:13] <Yagisan> I don't think they configured it to work
[03:13] <Yagisan> unless you have a non-english locale
[03:13] <Yagisan> I've haven been able to get ahold of the scim guy to ask actually
[03:14] <bobulator> ahh ok
[03:14] <Yagisan> bobulator: filesnames ? yeah I have data in directories like 
[03:14] <bobulator> haha i see :)
=== Yagisan loves copy & paste right now
[03:15] <bobulator> yeah haha
[03:15] <bobulator> i think ill file a bug on scim
[03:16] <Yagisan> bobulator: for some apps (gnome only I think) you can right click and be asked for an input meathod
[03:16] <bobulator> oh yeah? cool
[03:16] <Yagisan> but then you need to know that you should pick scim
[03:16] <Yagisan> then you need to tell scim what keyboard you want
[03:16] <bobulator> yeah exactly...
[03:16] <Yagisan> then you type
[03:17] <bobulator> hmm where do you do the rightclicking?
[03:17] <Yagisan> I did it in the typing area on gedit
[03:17] <bobulator> ah ok...
[03:17] <dgd> anyone running XP on the same network as their edubuntu install?
[03:17] <Yagisan> it is such a pain to get scim working, how would my wife get it to work ?
[03:18] <bobulator> ah ok! that works!
[03:18] <Yagisan> she doesn't know what scim is, let alone how to turn it on
[03:18] <dgd> just a pitch for evangelism...
[03:18] <bobulator> are there any browsers it works in? hmmm
[03:18] <dgd> record what you learn as you learn it...
[03:18] <Yagisan> bobulator: nope
[03:18] <Yagisan> dgd: no xp here.
[03:19] <dgd> screencasting is primitive under linux still ... wink 2.0 just came out...
[03:19] <dgd> I screencast all of my activiity under linux and publish it
[03:19] <dgd> too many don't know what the interface looks like
[03:19] <dgd> thought it useful to publish more vids
=== dgd noone reads the docs anymore, right?
[03:19] <bobulator> Yagisan: perhaps the scim shortcuts dont work because the individual rpograms dont support it?
[03:19] <Yagisan> dgd: well, the problem is, she needs scim for non-english, as, well, she's not a native english speaker, and computer words change so quickly, she doesn't know how to translate them.
[03:20] <Yagisan> bobulator: well, it worked for me in hoary ...
[03:20] <dgd> understood
[03:20] <bobulator> hmm fair!
[03:20] <bobulator> and i guess it works when you just switch the whole system over... hmm
[03:20] <Yagisan> yes it does
[03:20] <Yagisan> then I have a problem.
[03:21] <Yagisan> I speak more then I can read 
[03:21] <bobulator> Yagisan: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/scim/+bug/28879 ??
[03:21] <Yagisan> so teaching her how to use the new features becomes rather hard, when I can't read what it is
=== Yagisan reading
[03:23] <bobulator> hmm i dont even get that far!
[03:25] <Yagisan> bobulator: nope. while I agree with the title, that only can happen if you use gnome desktop, and type into gnome and kde apps at the same time. (actuallly a gnome bug)
[03:25] <bobulator> ahh
=== Yagisan is worried he knows so much about this, and yet, it still doesn't work for him
[03:25] <bobulator> haha
[03:26] <bobulator> but, you cant change the language for individual apps either, yeah?
[03:26] <Yagisan> no, I used to have a little keyboard icon near the trash that I could use to set the language
[03:28] <bobulator> yeah cool

[09:11] <lucasvo> highvoltage: here?
[09:11] <lucasvo> highvoltage: you are doing the homepage, aren't you?
[09:11] <highvoltage> lucasvo: yep
[09:12] <lucasvo> highvoltage: I have looked at it and would like to say somethings about it :)
[09:12] <highvoltage> lucasvo: although, we're getting a new one soon
[09:12] <highvoltage> lucasvo: ok, fire away
[09:12] <lucasvo> first of all, don't mix sharp edges and rounded ones 
[09:13] <lucasvo> (see login box and navigation box)
[09:13] <highvoltage> yeah. that's still up for fixation
[09:13] <highvoltage> i don't know why they didn't make the edges round by default
[09:13] <lucasvo> 2. if you use rounded edges look that the edges never "touch" any borders
[09:14] <lucasvo> make a margin for the boxes
[09:14] <highvoltage> check. also on my list of things to fix :)
[09:14] <highvoltage> originally, the boxes weren't against the edges of the page.
[09:15] <highvoltage> but later it went there to give a bit more horizontal space
[09:15] <lucasvo> the "tabs". I don't know what, but they still need some change
[09:15] <highvoltage> and because we wanted to make the top banner full width
[09:15] <highvoltage> the tabs at the top of a page?
[09:15] <highvoltage> oh, those tabs
[09:15] <lucasvo> I wouldn't use a different  color in the navigatin box
[09:15] <highvoltage> yes, i know what you mean.
[09:15] <lucasvo> highvoltage: yup the navigation tab
[09:16] <highvoltage> it's also because they're not anti-aliased nicely
[09:16] <lucasvo> I know whats wrong
[09:16] <highvoltage> the tab colours was one of the first things i changed, all the rest came after. it's no surprise that they don't fit :)
[09:16] <highvoltage> they're also not shaded or antialiased.
[09:16] <lucasvo> see on ubuntu.com: they have only a little difference from the contentpart-bgcolor
[09:16] <lucasvo> the active one has zero
[09:17] <lucasvo> and also, the boxes conflicht the tabs
[09:17] <lucasvo> because then, you think the tabs also change the boxes, not only the content of the pages
[09:18] <highvoltage> hmmm.. what do you mean by contentpart-bgcolor?
[09:18] <lucasvo> its the white part of the page
[09:18] <lucasvo> where the real content is in
[09:19] <lucasvo> I would put the Navigationbox above the login
[09:20] <lucasvo> anyway, is that login really that important?
[09:20] <lucasvo> can't one just make a loginbox on the wikipage for e.g.
[09:20] <lucasvo> the way it is on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
[09:23] <highvoltage> just a moment...
[09:23] <lucasvo> I quite like the way, the edubuntu logo is included into the header
[09:28] <highvoltage> i'll get those tabs and borders fixed tomorrow
[09:29] <lucasvo> don't hurry
[09:29] <lucasvo> what do you think about the boxes, are they needed on both sides?
[09:29] <highvoltage> well, we are planning to replace the current edubuntu website with that one on Thursday, so we need to get that done ASAP :)
[09:30] <highvoltage> you know, i don't think they are
[09:30] <highvoltage> i wonder how they'll all look on the right hand side
[09:33] <lucasvo> yup
[09:33] <lucasvo> maybe not using such intensive colors would make the design more calm
[09:35] <highvoltage> hmmm... drupal doesn't give me my space back
[09:35] <highvoltage> the wild colours is something we can't change much :/
[09:35] <lucasvo> why?
[09:35] <highvoltage> although, with a bit of love we could make it work.
[09:35] <highvoltage> the red and orange is edubuntu's official colours.
[09:36] <highvoltage> and we agreed that we'd keep the 'funky' colours from the old site. the dapper version of edubuntu will also have lots of these colours in the theme
[09:36] <highvoltage> so it's part of the brand identity
[09:36] <lucasvo> well, you can still use them for smaller areas so they are not that dominant
[09:37] <lucasvo> on the old design, the colors don't change so often
[09:37] <lucasvo> maybe this would help as well
[09:43] <lucasvo> highvoltage: I would also put the navigation box on the right side
