ograso *everything* has to be changed06:51

ograsilbs06:52
ograapparently06:52
LaserJockogra: is it that nasty green? ;-)06:52
jsgotangcolol06:52
ograsince neither JaneW's nor my objections were even commented06:53
ograLaserJock, its the theme that makes me want to drop my work on edubuntu06:53
jsgotangcoLaserJock: i thought you would feel at home with it considering it has tons of einstein-like equations06:53
LaserJockjsgotangco: I couldn't see the beauty past the green :-)06:54
ograit think its the meanest you can do to put something like that in front of people that are forced to look at chalkboards anyway all day06:54
LaserJockI should probably check to equations to make sure they are correct06:54
ograit should contrast to the chalkboard on the wall 06:54
ograadditionally it makes edubuntu look like a dark win9506:55
ograand brings a very depressive dark base color into everything06:55
LaserJockogra: I do believe it is possible to make an academic looking wallpaper without the Win95-clone look and nasty colors06:55
LaserJockbut, I'm not in charge so...06:55
ograbut apparently i can beg, cry, scream, bring valuable arguments without any reaction 06:56
ograLaserJock, i simply dont like the chalkboard idea at all, and we made a survey in breezy where a major NO came from the community06:56
LaserJockI agree06:57
ograbut not even that seems to count here06:57
ograwhich makes me very sad06:57
ograthats why i say it makes me want to drop my work on it ... its frustrating to have to ignore my users06:57
jsgotangcoogra: you can start another revolution in paris06:57
LaserJockI don't understand, to be honest. If you and JaneW are against it.06:57
ograjsgotangco, in paris dapper will be released06:58
ograLaserJock, we do neither ...06:58
ograjsgotangco, i want to prevent the damage in dapper06:58
ograi also dont like to force edubuntu into a niche it isnt in now06:59
LaserJockogra: would be nice to have a Edubuntu CC to go to or something, for these sorts of things06:59
ograyeah06:59
jsgotangcoogra: i think we should make a build with the artwork and wait for public reaction06:59
ograjsgotangco, the problem is that i'm not allowed to show it to anyone, and i suspect itwill be released just before artwork freeze07:00
jsgotangcoogra: that is very sad07:00
LaserJockogra: so the green is supposed to be default for Dapper?07:00
ograit will be a lot harder to change then07:00
jsgotangcoogra: maybe i should write to silbs just to give a piece of my mind07:00
ograLaserJock, not if i can avoid it, i'm still fighting07:00
ograjsgotangco, hmm ... 07:01
jsgotangcoit doesn't really fit IMO07:01
ograyep07:01
LaserJockogra: but that is the intent. I started up the edubuntu livecd and I think the current wallpaper would make me happier in a university setting then the green07:01
jsgotangcoits actually a quite dark shade of green07:02
LaserJockdarn, and it is hard to start a petition or something if people aren't allowed to see it :/07:02
ograthe idea for that release was to show that edubuntu grows up slowly... it should have been still as colorful as edubuntu girl, but more neutral, so you could use it even in unis07:03
ograedubuntu girl *is* a bit childish on purpose ...07:04
jsgotangcoyes it was successful in how we packaged it for breezy07:04
LaserJockthat is why the chalkboard is bad to me, it seem like a regression (hello 1995) in age07:04
ograyep07:04
LaserJockso did the ubuntu artwork team do this wallpaper?07:06
ogranope07:06
ograa design agency that also does the final wallpaper and splash for ubuntu07:06
ogra(and kubuntu)07:07
LaserJockI see07:07
jsgotangcoi would be happy to have this as part of the wallpaper collection or theme but not default07:08
ograyep07:10
jsgotangcoogra: any idea why gcompris seems to love making some users go back to gdm?07:11
ograjsgotangco, nope and i dont have any bug for it i think07:11

Petariswhich install option was I supposed to choose to install the ltsp stuff?08:41
PetarisI chose server08:41

cbx33highvoltage, ok spoken with lisa, shes gonna draw you some more as soon as she gets a spare second08:55
highvoltagenice :)08:56
highvoltagetell her we say thanks!08:56
cbx33i will08:56
cbx33oh, did you get a chance to comment on those docs yet? don;t worry if you didnt I'm still working on them anyway08:56
cbx33waiting for Bluekuja 08:56
cbx33hehe08:56
highvoltagei have them open in tabs :)08:57
highvoltagei stared at them a while this afternoon, but then i went blank08:57
highvoltagei'm not closing those tabs until i edit them ;P)08:57
cbx33hehe08:58
cbx33okie dokie....is it a case that they are so bad they are uneditable :p08:58
cbx33hehehe08:58
highvoltagenah, not that bad at all :)09:01
cbx33highvoltage, hehehe we're going to cut them all out and name them09:12
highvoltagenice!09:12
cbx33http://progbox.co.uk/thesis/09:27
cbx33hehe09:27
cbx33ah...i remember working on that on the bus09:28
cbx33heheh09:28
cbx33holding my laptops speakers to my ears09:28
PetarisHow do I enable the root account09:32
cbx33you don;t09:32
cbx33just use sudo09:32
PetarisI wan't to be able to su - into root09:33
cbx33you can09:33
cbx33sudo su -09:33
highvoltagesudo -s or sudo -i is more correct09:34
Petarisdo all accounts have sudo capability?09:34
cbx33sorry highvoltage 09:34
=== cbx33 hides
highvoltageeven more correct is just typing sudo before each command ;)09:34
highvoltagehehe09:34
cbx33well yeh09:34
cbx33that's what i use now09:34
highvoltagePetaris: only the first account has sudo access09:34
highvoltagePetaris: you may add sudo capabilities to other accounts by using the visudo command09:35
cbx33though you can set up otherse with it09:35
cbx33:p09:35
cbx33highvoltage, you may have to refresh those docs09:35
cbx33I'm thinking of updating one09:35
Petarishow can I re-enable su -09:36
Petarisso I don't have to sudo to do it09:36
highvoltageyou can do a sudo passwd root09:37
highvoltagebut it's not recommended09:37
Petarisok09:37
Petariswhy is it not recommended>?09:37
Petarisits more secure then sudo09:38
cbx33in what way09:38
cbx33with sudo you are acknowleding that every command you typ should be typed as root09:38
Petarissudo you don't need the root password, only yours09:38
highvoltagePetaris: ubuntu is designed to work with sudo, and without root, so some things break09:38
highvoltagefor instance, ubuntu has a recovery mode option in grub09:39
highvoltageif you have a root password, then ubuntu will prompt you for it when you boot in single user mode, instead of dropping you in a shell.09:39
Petarisso?09:39
highvoltagethis has caused a problem in schools for instance, where they know the admin password, but not the root password.09:39
Petaristhen I will enter it09:39
Petarisahh09:40
highvoltageit might sound trivial, and it is, but there is consequences. if you ask on #ubuntu they could probably give you more, better, concrete reasons.09:40
highvoltagePetaris: for what it's worth, i do it on my personal machines, and i don't have any problems. but i would suggest that you don't do it on a heavy production machine.09:41
highvoltagePetaris: just in case something goes wrong, because then the fingers will point at you ;)09:41
cbx33heheh09:41
highvoltagePetaris: and then you'd say but #edubuntu said it's ok!09:41
Petaristhey will anyway09:41
PetarisI'm the IT Adming09:41
Petariser, admin09:41
highvoltagehehe.09:41
cbx33highvoltage, would never steer us wrong :p09:41
cbx33Petaris, I know the feeling09:42
=== Yagisan should really go to bed
cbx33you ok Yagisan ?09:42
PetarisBut sudo is too much of a hassel for me to get things done, and there is very little security risk in this setting09:42
Yagisan5am!09:42
cbx33go to bed09:43
YagisanPetaris: keep in mind sudo, will log everything that was run09:43
cbx33you deserve it09:43
cbx33tbh09:43
cbx33Petaris, I used to do the same as you09:43
cbx33I was using fedora back then09:43
cbx33then I switched to ubuntu and hated the idea of suding09:43
=== yvesC [n=yves@zenobi.ycombe.net] has joined #edubuntu
cbx33basically because when i had finsihed an expert install I cou;dnt run any G-app that required root privilages09:44
cbx33I had to add myself to the sudo group...which i was unaware of tback then09:44
cbx33but now I much prefer it09:44
Yagisancbx33: you should file a bug on those09:44
Petarisgrr, sudo is broken09:44
cbx33stops me doing stupid things as root09:44
Petarisnow what do I do09:44
cbx33Yagisan, it's not a bug09:44
cbx33apparently it's intentional09:44
Petariswith out su - or root I can't fix it09:44
cbx33I think something should pop up and warn you09:44
cbx33but they think not09:45
Yagisancbx33: any app that needs rooy, needs the desktop file amended to use gksudo09:45
highvoltagegoodnight, Yagisan 09:45
cbx33Yagisan, it wasn't that09:45
cbx33it was the in the normal installthe visudoers file is ammeneded09:45
cbx33in the expert install it isn't09:45
Yagisanah09:45
PetarisI changed the hostname and now sudo is not letting me do anything09:46
Petarisany ideas how to fix that?09:46
highvoltagei vaguely remember getting that before, and remembering it was easy to fix09:46
Yagisannightall.09:46
cbx33night 09:46
highvoltagedid you change it by using the hostname command, and by editing /etc/hostname09:47
highvoltageand make sure that the new hostname is in /etc/hosts?09:47
PetarisI just edited /etc/hostname09:47
PetarisI forgot to put it in /etc/hosts09:47
highvoltagesudo hostname `cat /etc/hostname`09:48
PetarisI can't sudo09:48
highvoltageah, right :)09:48
Petarisit just gives me a hostname error09:48
PetarisThis is one of the reasons su - or the root account should be left accessable09:48
highvoltageor change the hostname properly :)09:49
highvoltagei think you might have to boot into single user mode to fix that :/09:49
highvoltagethere might be a better way, but that's the quickest way i can think of09:49
PetarisI'll boot into dsl, and change the etc/hosts file09:50
Petariswell enough for today09:56
PetarisI'm off09:56
highvoltagegoodnight, Petaris 09:57
Petarisbye, and thanks for the help09:57

cbx33!seen Bluekuja 11:03
ubotubluekuja is currently on #kubuntu (1d 1h 5m 39s) #edubuntu (1d 1h 5m 39s) #ubuntu (1d 1h 5m 39s)11:03
cbx33what;s up nomad 11:03
nomadok well I was wondering how to log into root11:03
cbx33hehe11:03
nomadI've tried logging out11:03
cbx33sorry second time we've had this question today11:03
nomadand back in as "root"11:03
cbx33you don;t log in as root11:03
nomadoh11:04
cbx33if you need to use root11:04
cbx33u put the command sudo before the command you wish to run as root11:04
cbx33for example11:04
cbx33/etc/init.d/apache2 restart11:04
cbx33won;t work as a normal user11:04
cbx33but11:04
nomadwell I need to edit a file, which can only be done as root. i wanted to edit the fstab file so my windows partition is automatically mounted at startup.11:04
cbx33sudo /etc/init.dapache2 restart would11:04
cbx33ok11:04
cbx33do11:04
cbx33sudo nano /etc/fstab11:04
nomadohhh11:05
cbx33it'll ask for your password the first time you do it11:05
nomadi never thought of opening it in the terminal11:05
cbx33you could always do 11:05
cbx33sudo gedit /etc/fstab11:05
cbx33which would load gedit with root privialges to edit the file11:05
nomadOk i did the Gedit method, thanks alot11:06
cbx33np11:06
LaserJockcbx33: do you know when you are supposed to use gksudo?11:06
nomadOk so I edited the fstab file, but I'm confused about the last part, under "options" in the file's text11:06
nomadwhat do I put there?11:07
cbx33LaserJock, I've never used it11:07
cbx33i don;t sudo in gui a lot11:07
LaserJockcbx33: me neither, that's why I asked. :-)11:07
cbx33heheheh11:07
nomadi put "default"11:07
cbx33we should man gksudo11:07
cbx33that should be fine11:08
cbx33sorry guys i gotta dash to be11:08
cbx33bed11:08
LaserJockcbx33: if I had an Ubuntu box I would11:08
cbx33very tired11:08
cbx33:p11:08
nomadoh alright, thanks again11:08
cbx33sorry nomad 11:08
cbx33got a very early morning 11:08
LaserJocknomad: those are additional options for mounting11:08
LaserJocknomad: what are you adding to fstab?11:08
cbx33LaserJock, is more than capable of answering any questions you have :p11:08
LaserJockcya cbx33 11:08
cbx33he's a genius11:08
LaserJockheh, I don't think so11:09
cbx33:p11:09
cbx33nn LaserJock 11:09
nomadmy windows partition, so it mounts at startup, instead of typing "sudo mount ..... so on" every time11:09
cbx33nomad, just to point out....i did have trouble doing this...11:09
=== bimberi [n=bimberi@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #edubuntu
cbx33i tried a little while ago11:09
LaserJockyeah, probably defaults would be fine then, I think11:09
cbx33but normal users couldn;t write to it11:09
nomadok well thats what I did, thanks11:09
cbx33oh wait11:09
cbx33no sorry11:09
cbx33that was an smbfs mount11:09
cbx33ignore me I'm tired11:10
nomaduh, alright11:10
LaserJockyeah, sometimes you have to put users I think if you want to let any user mount it11:10
nomadone last question, the reason i'm doing all this is to access my windows partition where all my music is stored11:10
nomadhowever when i try to play the files in like 'rythmbox", it says it cant find any decoders on the system and that i need to install some11:10
nomadi'm the only one using this computer so Its ok11:11
LaserJocknomad: what format is the music? mp3?11:11
nomadyes11:11
nomadand some wma's11:11
LaserJockyeah, mp3 has got some legal problems, especially in the US11:11
nomadwhat do you mean?11:11
LaserJockwell, technically in the US I think I have to pay to be able to play mp3s11:12
LaserJockthere are patent (or copyright) issues11:12
nomad-_- thats retarded....how about the WMAs?11:12
LaserJocknomad: are you running 5.10 (breezy) or Dapper?11:13
nomadbreezy11:13
nomadjust installed a few hours ago11:13
LaserJocknomad: first linux install? or have you been using it for a while11:13
nomadi've used linux for a while, but i11:14
LaserJockanyway, the place to go to get what you need would be https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats11:14
nomad'm not that familiar with it11:14
LaserJocksome linux distros ship the non-free codecs either illegally (in the US anyway) or pay something like USD$150,000 to ship them11:15
LaserJockand I'm not sure if WMAs will play or not11:17
nomadWhy are MP3's illegal? I thought MP3's were something from the FSM anyways11:17
LaserJocknomad: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp3#Licensing_and_patent_issues11:18
LaserJocknomad: and see http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/ for royalty rates if people wanted to ship decoders or encoders11:21
nomad"Thus while patent fees have been an issue for companies attempting to use MP3, they have not meaningfully impacted users, allowing the format to grow in popularity."11:21
nomad"Thomson has stated that individuals using free MP3 encoders are not required to pay fees."11:21
nomadWell what about WMA11:21
nomad?11:21
LaserJockwell, WMA is a prorietary Microsoft codec, as far as I know11:22
nomadThats what I thought, so its the same deal?11:22
LaserJocksort of, I'm not sure exactly11:22
nomadIs there a way I can change my mp3's into something open source like ogg vorbis?11:23
LaserJockbasically it comes down to, if you live in the US (or some other countries) it is best to go with an open source codec like ogg11:23

LaserJockthere are but you usually lose sound quality11:23
nomadnoticable loss?11:23
LaserJockprobably depends, I've done it before and I really didn't notice it much11:24
nomadalright well I'll give it a shot.... how would I go about doing it?11:24
LaserJockbut people who really care about audio will throw a fit if you tell them you did it ;-)11:24
nomadaudiophiles...11:24
LaserJockI'd check out ubuntuforums.org I can't remember what tools are out there, but there are some11:25
LaserJocknot sure about the WMAs though11:25
bimberi!info mp32ogg11:25
ubotump32ogg: (Converts MP3 file to Ogg Vorbis), section universe/sound, is optional. Version: 0.11-4 (breezy), Packaged size: 7 kB, Installed size: 64 kB11:25

LaserJockdoh, and the bot saves me again11:26
Sonofaqlol11:26
nomadis that a package i can go ahead andinstall?11:26
bimberinomad: sure, if you have universe enabled11:27
LaserJocknomad: yes, as long as you  have the Universe repo enabled11:27
LaserJockack and bimberi beat me to it11:27
nomadhow do i do that? (sorry i'm such a n00b >_>'11:27
=== LaserJock might just sulk back to -motu as he is apparently useless here ;-)
LaserJocknomad: that wiki page I gave you has instructions11:27

LaserJockbimberi: np, I'm just used to -motu where all we have is a bug bot11:28
bimberiLaserJock: ah :)11:29
Sonofaqim a bit of an audio freak, but i think that ogg is a ery useful format11:30
Sonofaqespecialy for space saving11:30
nomaduniverse or universe multiverse? Or does it matter?11:30
crimsun'ogg' is actually just a container; I presume you're referring to the vorbis format.11:30
LaserJockwell, you can do both11:31
Sonofaqyeah11:31
LaserJockcrimsun: true11:31
Sonofaqyou forget it sometimes11:31
nomadOk, I added the community maintained universe repository, is that all I need to d?11:31
LaserJockwell ogg-vorbis is just too long for me to type ;-)11:32
nomaddo?*11:32
Sonofaqlol11:32
LaserJocknomad: yeah, so once you reload the cache you should be able to search for it11:32
nomadalright i'm doing that11:32
nomadOk i got it installed, thanks alot :D11:34
LaserJockno problem11:34
LaserJocknomad: btw, the wiki can be pretty useful11:34
Sonofaqyeah the wiki is very useful11:34

LaserJockI haven't11:37
Sonofaqalso whats this about themm maybe hanging the edubuntu colours11:38
Sonofaqchanging*11:39
LaserJockI don't know that the colors will change, but somebody is wanting to change the wallpaper to look like a chalkboard (green)11:43
LaserJocksorta looks like Win9511:44
highvoltageyeah. the teal background in win95, that's right.11:45
Sonofaqyeah i think that the current version look warm and very nice11:45
Sonofaqcbx33 wife is doing some edubuntu backrounds to try and help advertise the old colours so far they look realy good11:46
LaserJockSonofaq: so what is the purpose of the page? A place for teachers to go to? 11:46
bimberifrom the School Advocacy page - "LTSP, the Linux Terminal Server Project, whilst not a true thin client system,,," - why?11:48
Sonofaqno the whole idea is we are going to do a leaflet that goes out to school across the uk if we get approval plus there will be an onine versoin with more links11:48
