| nomad | Hello, having a bit of a problem here | 12:22 |
|---|---|---|
| nomad | Seems i'm stuck at a 640x480 resolution | 12:22 |
| nomad | it used to do this , but I could restard and it would go back to 1280x1024 | 12:23 |
| nomad | but now it seems it wont | 12:23 |
| nomad | help? | 12:23 |
| ogra | on a thin client ? or an edubuntu workstation ? | 12:24 |
| nomad | No, my home computer | 12:25 |
| nomad | I installed it a couple of days ago | 12:25 |
| ogra | so an edubuntu workstation install ? | 12:25 |
| nomad | I suppose | 12:25 |
| ogra | you suppose ? | 12:25 |
| ogra | yo need to explicitly select the workstation install, so you should know :) | 12:26 |
| nomad | yes | 12:26 |
| nomad | no | 12:26 |
| nomad | during install I did the default install | 12:26 |
| ogra | did you try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 12:27 |
| nomad | Its not a workstation install | 12:27 |
| ogra | (with sudo indeed) | 12:27 |
| nomad | in terminal? | 12:27 |
| ogra | sure | 12:28 |
| nomad | alright i'll give it a shot | 12:28 |
| LaserJock | ogra: so are their any specs for making Edubuntu university freindly (theme, package selection)? | 12:35 |
| ogra | LaserJock, nope, as i said its a future target, the edubuntu roadmap was: 1) classroom, 2) school, 3) municipality+university | 12:38 |
| ogra | we're still at 1) | 12:38 |
| LaserJock | ok, so do you want to eventually cover 1-3 or do you want 2 to include 1 and 3 to include 2 and 1? | 12:39 |
| LaserJock | hmm, that wasn't exactly a very clear sentence | 12:39 |
| ogra | heh | 12:40 |
| ogra | but yes, 3 will include 1 and 2 | 12:40 |
| LaserJock | ok | 12:41 |
| ogra | the plan was to grow slowly to become a university and municipality capable system like skolelinux | 12:41 |
| LaserJock | I'm also interested in the targeting with respect to individual users or computer labs. LTSP is obviously in the computer lab end, but I would think there would also be a lot of use for individual users | 12:43 |
| LaserJock | for Edubuntu, not LTSP | 12:43 |
| ogra | yeo | 12:43 |
| ogra | err yep | 12:43 |
| ogra | thats why we added the worksattion option early | 12:43 |
| ogra | the "plain" theme is the first careful step towards older users and university environments | 12:44 |
| LaserJock | so in the end you want a distro that is suitable (and useful) for educational use no matter what scale or educational setting | 12:45 |
| LaserJock | that is a pretty tall order | 12:45 |
| ogra | yep | 12:45 |
| ogra | skolelinux is the bar | 12:45 |
| LaserJock | I'll check it out | 12:45 |
| Sergi0 | i didnt know that where the long term plans, but looks promising | 12:45 |
| LaserJock | do you think 1 CD has enough room for that? | 12:45 |
| ogra | but i (and sabdfl as well) am realistic, 3 wont happen soon | 12:46 |
| LaserJock | ogra: but I think the workstation end could be fairly reachable | 12:46 |
| ogra | LaserJock, i doubt that, but lets see what happens on the CD front | 12:46 |
| LaserJock | I was thinking that, in general, universities have good interenet connections and so maybe more could be pushed to installing over the internet rather than the cd | 12:47 |
| ogra | i'd like to switch to two CDs in the future, but now that we have shipit support that gets problematic and a cost issue | 12:47 |
| LaserJock | sure | 12:47 |
| ogra | DVD is no option either, because a huge amount of our users sits in countries that can just afford a CD rom | 12:48 |
| LaserJock | I agree, I haven't used DVD distro much either, even though I have a DVD burner | 12:49 |

| HedgeMage | btw, anyone who knows: what's the submission deadline for Cookbook chapters? | 09:18 |

| HedgeMage | pygi: thanks. We had a bit of army-induced chaos this week so my last chapter didn't get done over the weekend. :( I can take a day or two to catch up, in that case. | 09:20 |
| pygi | HedgeMage: are all other chapters you intented to wrote on wiki? | 09:21 |

| highvoltage | bhahaahaha | 09:42 |
| JaneW | in return for credits on our site. Sounds like cheap advertising to me... | 09:43 |
| highvoltage | JaneW: yep | 09:43 |
| JaneW | plus he is doing it to 100 OSS projects | 09:43 |
| highvoltage | JaneW: $100 won't buy him a pixel | 09:43 |

| highvoltage | JaneW: i think you're completely right though, he wants to make small contributions to lots of projects on behalf of his company, just so that he can have some kind of claim of being a sponsor to them | 09:44 |

| ogra | highvoltage, btw, you heavily broke the website yesterday | 12:34 |
| ogra | using proto.edubuntu.com hardcoded everywhere in the code doesnt work if you shut down proto.e.c :) | 12:34 |
| highvoltage | ogra: can you please point out where it is? i didn't hardcode it anywhere, not that i'm aware of at least | 12:35 |

| highvoltage | oosh, the ubuntu logo disappeared | 12:36 |
| ogra | highvoltage, the page simply wasnt there, only the content of the startpage was, no css not one link worked | 12:37 |
| ogra | you need to ask elmo what he did to make it work | 12:37 |
| highvoltage | ogra: i think it might have been a problem on that side, to be honest | 12:38 |
| === cbx33 pokes highvoltage does the search feature work yet... :p | ||
| highvoltage | ogra: i wasn't involved with moving proto to www, it was znarl and elmo | 12:38 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: fine, i'll look at it now. but if i get into trouble for doing this on work time i'll blame you! | 12:38 |
| cbx33 | I'm kidding | 12:39 |
| cbx33 | please do it in your own time, when you have a second | 12:39 |
| highvoltage | ogra: i think i know what happened. the only place it was coded in hard was the drupal config file, i think znarl/elmo forgot to do that perhaps? it was in the ticket *shrug* | 12:40 |
| ogra | ah, that might be it | 12:41 |
| ogra | he just told me the proto url was hardcoded | 12:41 |
| cbx33 | ogra: lisa is working on the wallpaper, she's goign to give us some mock ups as she's going through so we can give comments | 12:41 |

| === ogra imagines 4-6 486 PCs at every desk | ||
| ogra | but they would be as powerful as a PII :) | 01:06 |
| highvoltage | ogra: we're already 'throwing away' PII's :) | 01:06 |
| ogra | haha | 01:06 |
| ogra | ok, so a cluster of 4-6 PII PCs :) | 01:06 |
| ogra | might make a P4 then :) | 01:07 |
| highvoltage | ogra: the 'old junk' that comes by heaps from overseas these days are high-end PII's and PIII's :) | 01:07 |
| cbx33 | yeh that's what it would be | 01:07 |
| cbx33 | I have some 1Ghz | 01:07 |
| cbx33 | but they wouldn;'t be for a while yet | 01:07 |
| highvoltage | that's also why the total thin client stuff is getting more and more obsolete. when your donated equipment becomes 1ghz PC's with 128MB ram and higher, it makes sense running apps locally. | 01:09 |
| highvoltage | i think diskless machines will get much more popular though. | 01:09 |
| cbx33 | yes | 01:09 |
| highvoltage | i'm surprised that so many companies still use machines with local disks. it adds so much costs. | 01:09 |
| cbx33 | totally, | 01:09 |
| cbx33 | local apps would be of much use to us | 01:10 |
| ogra | hmm, the debian ltsp crew makes local swap their first target for next release it seems ... | 01:10 |
| ogra | strange | 01:10 |
| highvoltage | that is strange :) | 01:10 |
| ogra | its trivial to implement | 01:10 |
| highvoltage | for the few MB you're going to swap, you can just as well do it over the network :) | 01:10 |
| ogra | i wouldnt even waste a thought on it | 01:10 |
| highvoltage | i agree with that for local swap. network swap is important though (meaning, some swap at leasT) | 01:11 |
| ogra | yes, but doing local swap detection is implementable in about 5 lines anyway | 01:11 |
| cbx33 | heh | 01:11 |
| ogra | i wonder why they think its so important | 01:11 |
| highvoltage | ah, i see what you mean. | 01:11 |
| cbx33 | I'd like to see local apps coming through | 01:11 |
| ogra | first local devices implemented right | 01:12 |
| cbx33 | oh yeh | 01:12 |
| ogra | thats my no.1 priority for eft | 01:12 |
| highvoltage | local devices, then local apps, i would say. | 01:12 |
| highvoltage | and then swap over network. | 01:12 |
| ogra | local apps is hard to get right | 01:12 |
| highvoltage | swap to local disk would be about #1044 on the list for me :) | 01:12 |
| ogra | i'd move nbd swap one up ;) | 01:12 |
| === highvoltage is fine with that :) | ||
| ogra | the ltsp.org implementation for local apps is awful | 01:13 |
| highvoltage | really? | 01:13 |
| highvoltage | i knew it wasn't spectacular, but i didn't know it was /that/ bad. | 01:13 |
| ogra | running an sshd on every client etc | 01:13 |
| highvoltage | it uses fuse, right? | 01:13 |
| ogra | local apps ? | 01:13 |
| ogra | fuse ? | 01:14 |
| ogra | nope | 01:14 |
| highvoltage | aagh, sorry, i was thinking of local disk access | 01:14 |
| ogra | thats localdev | 01:14 |
| cbx33 | heh | 01:14 |
| highvoltage | yes, the local apps on ltsp.org is horrible. i've only played with it once, but couldn't figure out how to script it so that it will be nice and automated for the users. | 01:14 |
| cbx33 | ltsp.org is horrific implmentation | 01:14 |
| cbx33 | and I'm going to try to get easy docs and possibly script for AD integrtation | 01:15 |
| highvoltage | we should start calling it legacy LTSP or something, since ltsp.org will standardise on meukow some day :) | 01:15 |
| highvoltage | (we hope) | 01:15 |
| cbx33 | heh | 01:16 |
| cbx33 | 40 mins to meeting | 01:17 |
| highvoltage | ogra: on an LTSP server, with server board and dual Xeon CPU, would you suggest a 686-smp kernel, or the ubuntu server kernel? | 01:22 |
| ogra | to be honest i didnt check the difference yet | 01:23 |
| cbx33 | any ideas for more characters lisa can draw | 01:23 |
| ogra | so i'd personally go with -686-smp because i know it :) | 01:23 |
| highvoltage | does she have a football player? | 01:23 |
| cbx33 | not sure | 01:23 |
| highvoltage | that seems to be big with many kids. | 01:24 |
| highvoltage | and a rapper. | 01:24 |
| highvoltage | and a surfer. | 01:24 |
| cbx33 | ok will ask her | 01:25 |
| ogra | yes, dont overload it | 01:25 |
| ogra | rather put more time into a good background | 01:25 |
| cbx33 | ogra: yes, | 01:25 |
| cbx33 | highvoltage: mentioned he may use some of the different characters elsewhere too | 01:26 |
| highvoltage | yeah, but there's no plan for that yet. do as ogra says :) | 01:26 |

| bimberi | ... and gets lots of hits :) | 01:38 |
| ogra | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Uniform_Memory_Access | 01:38 |
| highvoltage | ogra: i would too :) | 01:38 |
| ogra | SGI altrix is a typical NUMA system | 01:38 |
| highvoltage | bimberi: the thing is, how would that kernel perform on an LTSP server? | 01:39 |
| bimberi | ogra: thanks | 01:39 |
| highvoltage | bimberi: the standard kernel can only see up to 3GB RAM on the new intel server boards, so for that we already need a server kernel in tuxlabs for our servers with 4GB RAM | 01:39 |
| cbx33 | WOW | 01:40 |
| ogra | but there are other server kernels we provide not listed in that mail you posted | 01:40 |
| highvoltage | bimberi: so i'm very interested to see the effect of the other differences as well | 01:40 |
| bimberi | highvoltage: don't know sorry - but as its running desktop apps my reading is that you'd want PREEMPT enabled | 01:40 |
| highvoltage | that's my thinking too. although, on an ltsp network, it's a bit different again, since things are going to get laggy anyway on a big network, and when that server gets under high load, would it be possibly better to not have PREEMPT? I suppose there's really just one way to find out :) | 01:42 |
| ogra | yeah | 01:42 |

| ogra_ | but crimsun might be able to tell once he's around | 05:00 |
| sTo0z | So I'm back with my same question, can anyone point me in a direction of how to get a mac to boot from the server? I've googled a lot but can't find any solid info.. | 05:02 |
| ogra_ | JaneW, will you announce the new council and its members to the ML ? or should i do that ? | 05:03 |
| Petaris | ogra_: I'll keep an eye out for him | 05:03 |
| ogra_ | sTo0z, thats a bit tricky | 05:03 |
| bugman | ogra_: maybe vlc -aout <module> allows you to select the audio output module. | 05:03 |
| sTo0z | ogra_: yah that's what i'm seeing :\ | 05:04 |
| sTo0z | ogra_: something about pulling the boot rom out, messing with some ftp thing, is the limited info i've found so far :\ | 05:04 |
| Petaris | vlc has an esd output plugin, but it wan'ts to know where the esd server is | 05:04 |
| ogra_ | sTo0z, wait a sec | 05:04 |
| sTo0z | ogra_: ok | 05:04 |
| ogra_ | http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/dhcpd.conf | 05:05 |
| ogra_ | take that one and copy it to /etc/ltsp | 05:05 |
| ogra_ | (and adjust the ip values to your needs indeed | 05:06 |
| ogra_ | ) | 05:06 |
| ogra_ | macs need that hex stuff | 05:06 |
| sTo0z | so how do i actually get the mac to boot up and see the server and do its magic? | 05:06 |
| ogra_ | use the above dhcpd.conf | 05:06 |
| sTo0z | how does the mac know to connect to the server? | 05:08 |
| ogra_ | you netboot it | 05:08 |
| ogra_ | oh, you mean you dont know how to trigger a netboot on a mac ? | 05:08 |
| sTo0z | is there a way to force that instead of holding the key down on boot? | 05:08 |
| sTo0z | right | 05:08 |
| ogra_ | there are docs about how to adjust the firmware to automatically use netbooting | 05:09 |
| sTo0z | can you point me at one out of your head? | 05:09 |
| ogra_ | i think ltsp.org has some | 05:09 |
| sTo0z | oh ok | 05:09 |
| ogra_ | the wiki | 05:09 |
| ogra_ | else holing down the n key on boot should do it | 05:09 |
| sTo0z | what should i search for on the wiki? just tried a couple searches and failed miserably ;) | 05:10 |

| highvoltage | and people also seem to try to find wiki pages there. there's error messages for a "JeffreyElkner" page that's not found | 05:15 |
| highvoltage | and a JeromeGotangco | 05:15 |
| sTo0z | i swear google is worse these days... | 05:15 |
| highvoltage | and OpenOffice | 05:15 |
| highvoltage | sTo0z: how so? | 05:16 |
| sTo0z | just never seem to get anything useful anymore | 05:16 |
| sTo0z | ogra_: still can't find anything in that wiki, or the internet at all | 05:17 |
| jsgotangco | someone searched for me? | 05:18 |
| ogra_ | sTo0z, http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/intro.macppc.html | 05:18 |
| highvoltage | jsgotangco: they tried to find a page called http://www.edubuntu.org/JeromeGotangco | 05:18 |
| jsgotangco | highvoltage: that should be fixed! | 05:19 |
| jsgotangco | IMMEDIATELY | 05:19 |
| cbx33 | 3 more apps done on the advocacy LaserJock | 05:19 |
| jsgotangco | :D | 05:19 |

| ogra_ | jsgotangco, add that page then :) | 05:19 |
| === bugman is now known as bugman^away | ||
| jsgotangco | lol | 05:19 |
| jsgotangco | wait a minute | 05:19 |
| jsgotangco | is our wiki now separate too? | 05:19 |
| ogra_ | nope | 05:20 |
| jsgotangco | goodie | 05:20 |
| ogra_ | its still the ubuntu wiki | 05:20 |
| ogra_ | same as with shipit.edubuntu.org | 05:20 |
| sTo0z | i don't have an OS to make changes in tho, hah | 05:20 |
| ogra_ | you have a firmware | 05:20 |
| jsgotangco | what's the chance of us getting an extremely limited pressing? | 05:21 |
| ogra_ | its all about telling the firmware to netboot | 05:21 |
| ogra_ | there is a special key combo you need to use to get to the firmware prompt | 05:21 |
| Petaris | ogra_: just tried with xmms, still doesn't work | 05:22 |
| Petaris | says it can't find the device | 05:22 |
| ogra_ | to be honest i never tested with xmms, since we dont ship it ... | 05:22 |
| ogra_ | totem and rhythmbox should work right away | 05:22 |
| Petaris | is there anyway to see if the client loaded the driver for the soundcard? | 05:22 |
| ogra_ | +(i think xmms is even moved to universe now) | 05:23 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: we should have a news entry on the website for the election of ECC, right? | 05:23 |
| ogra_ | you also should have system sounds in gnome | 05:23 |
| ogra_ | highvoltage, absolutely | 05:23 |
| === highvoltage does that | ||
| ogra_ | i was hoping to convince JaneW to announce it to the ML | 05:23 |
| ogra_ | but seems i have to do it myself :) | 05:24 |
| JaneW | ogra_: hi | 05:24 |
| ogra_ | :) | 05:24 |
| JaneW | ogra_: I have to run now, I have to fetch my kids, late already | 05:24 |
| JaneW | ogra_: but I can do it latter | 05:24 |
| ogra_ | JaneW, k | 05:24 |
| JaneW | later I mean | 05:24 |
| jsgotangco | highvoltage: ah you already released proto | 05:25 |
| === jsgotangco notices the drupal look and feel | ||

| jsgotangco | haha linuxtag | 05:26 |
| ogra_ | Petaris, hmm, try running "esddsp xmms" and see what happens | 05:26 |
| highvoltage | jsgotangco: yep, pips1 already alerted me. we'll probably be on 4.7 by the end of the weekend. | 05:26 |
| Petaris | ok | 05:26 |
| jsgotangco | how hard it is to upgrade from 4.6.x to a major version? | 05:26 |
| sTo0z | ogra_: just see lots of server setup info, nothing about actually making the client do anything, but thanks a million for your help, i'll try to get the rest from here. :) | 05:27 |
| highvoltage | jsgotangco: not too hard, i'm goint to set it up somewhere else first, with the db from current site, just to make sure it goes smooth | 05:27 |
| cbx33 | how can i display a time on a website and know it's accurate | 05:27 |
| jsgotangco | highvoltage: can i make a account on the site? | 05:27 |
| highvoltage | jsgotangco: yep, the account section is not on the site atm, you can get it at http://www.edubuntu.org/user/login | 05:28 |
| Petaris | ogra_: that doesn't work either | 05:28 |
| ogra_ | Petaris, do you know what kind of soundcard the client has ? | 05:29 |
| jsgotangco | highvoltage: thanks | 05:29 |
| highvoltage | jsgotangco: i can give you edit rights too, let me know | 05:29 |
| Petaris | ogra_: intel8x0 I think | 05:29 |
| ogra_ | hmm, that should work | 05:29 |
| jsgotangco | highvoltage: sure | 05:30 |
| ogra_ | Petaris, you can add a rootpw to the client chroot and log in on console to check if esd is running and if the driver is present | 05:30 |
| ogra_ | sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd | 05:31 |
| ogra_ | sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd -l | 05:31 |
| ogra_ | the latter to lock it again | 05:31 |

| cbx33 | sbartleylinux, IIRC ogra_ mentioned this earlier on as a bug | 05:48 |
| cbx33 | anyone else know the status of this? | 05:48 |
| sbartleylinux | cbx33, thx. | 05:50 |
| cbx33 | np | 05:50 |
| ogra_ | err, nope, thats not a known bug | 06:00 |
| ogra_ | ending up on a textconsole and having X running on console 7 is one though | 06:00 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra_, Hi there. | 06:00 |
| ogra_ | highvoltage, afk == away from keyboard | 06:01 |
| ogra_ | hey sbartleylinux | 06:01 |
| highvoltage | aaah | 06:01 |
| cbx33 | there's the man | 06:02 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra_, so, what info can I provide to help figure out why the client is not getting gui? | 06:02 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra_, sorry. got called to a meeting. be back in a few minutes. | 06:03 |
| ogra_ | sbartleylinux, did the "building ltsp client" setp in the installer finish properly ? | 06:03 |
| ogra_ | *step | 06:03 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: http://www.edubuntu.org/news/3 | 06:03 |
| highvoltage | ogra_: is that ok, something that should be added/removed? | 06:03 |
| jsgotangco | elected? | 06:03 |
| highvoltage | jsgotangco: i think so :/ | 06:04 |
| ogra | can you just call it EC ? | 06:04 |
| highvoltage | ok. what does that stand for then? Edubuntu Community or Edubuntu Council? | 06:04 |
| ogra | the latter | 06:05 |
| jsgotangco | yeah ECC is something quite bad in my country | 06:05 |
| highvoltage | ok | 06:05 |

| jsgotangco | bleah | 06:05 |

| Petaris | ogra: I was wrong its an onboard VIA VT1612a 2 channel AC'97 | 06:10 |
| Petaris | should still work though | 06:10 |
| Petaris | It did with k12ltsp anyway | 06:10 |
| Petaris | Oh and I noticed that the server isn't liking my * GB of RAM | 06:11 |
| Petaris | s/*/8 | 06:11 |
| === littlepaul [n=ubuntu1@217.19.180.111] has left #edubuntu [] | ||
| ogra | ah, yes, use another kernel, highvoltage did/does some research there | 06:11 |
| jsgotangco | hmmm 4 Js and an O | 06:12 |
| jsgotangco | things are not bright for you mr. ogra | 06:12 |
| ogra | the default -386 kernel only adresses 800MB anyway iirc | 06:12 |
| ogra | jsgotangco, yeah i noticed, will have to fight my way through | 06:12 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: if you have 900MB - 3GB RAM, use the -686 kernel | 06:12 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: if you have more than 3GB, use the server kernel | 06:12 |
| Petaris | highvoltage: does the server kernel support smp as well | 06:13 |
| === highvoltage notes that we need to document this somewhere | ||
| Petaris | I'm dual opterons here | 06:13 |
| ogra | highvoltage++ | 06:13 |
| lucasvo | Petaris: how many cores? | 06:13 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: yes, it does | 06:13 |
| jsgotangco | bigiron if possible | 06:14 |
| ogra | would be pointless to have a single core server kernel :) | 06:14 |
| highvoltage | lucasvo: i'm interested to see how that runs, we haven't used anything besides P4 or Xeons as servers in tuxlabs. | 06:14 |
| highvoltage | heh :) | 06:14 |
| Petaris | lucasvo: just two single cores | 06:15 |
| Petaris | highvoltage which kernel image do you suggest? | 06:15 |
| jsgotangco | i gotta crash | 06:15 |
| jsgotangco | good night | 06:15 |
| Petaris | linux-image-2.6.15-22-server? | 06:16 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: linux-image-server - Linux kernel image on Server Equipment. | 06:16 |
| highvoltage | yep | 06:16 |
| ogra | no | 06:16 |
| ogra | take the one highvoltage suggested | 06:16 |
| highvoltage | no? hmmm | 06:16 |
| ogra | thats the metapackage | 06:16 |
| highvoltage | yes? | 06:16 |
| Petaris | huh? | 06:17 |
| Petaris | so just the linux-image-server | 06:17 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: i think what we mean is, take linux-image-server, because it's the meta-package | 06:17 |
| highvoltage | right ogra? | 06:17 |
| Petaris | oh, ok | 06:18 |
| Petaris | will do so now | 06:18 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: that means it will get updated when you do things like dist-upgrading | 06:18 |
| ogra | yep | 06:18 |
| Petaris | right | 06:18 |
| ogra | it will always depend on the most recent version | 06:19 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, k. I am back. Sorry about that. | 06:22 |
| sbartleylinux | I did the lstp-build-client with the --mirror file:///cdrom. | 06:23 |
| sbartleylinux | It did give one warning of Package ldm has no installation candidate. | 06:23 |
| ogra | which CD was that ? | 06:24 |
| Petaris | That boot screen is way too dark | 06:24 |
| ogra | yep | 06:24 |
| sbartleylinux | The dapper beta 2 cd | 06:24 |
| sbartleylinux | install cd | 06:24 |
| ogra | the screen itself is fine, but the fonts and progressbar arent | 06:24 |
| ogra | there never was an installer beta2 | 06:25 |
| ogra | beta2 was live only | 06:25 |
| === Petaris nods in agreement | ||
| cbx33 | indeed | 06:25 |
| sbartleylinux | ???? | 06:25 |
| sbartleylinux | I downloaded it just yesterday. | 06:25 |
| sbartleylinux | just a sec | 06:25 |
| sbartleylinux | ubuntu-6.06-beta2-install-i386.iso | 06:26 |
| sbartleylinux | downloaded from releases | 06:26 |
| ogra | hmm, that should never have ended up there, you are right | 06:26 |
| ogra | <-- shocked | 06:26 |
| sbartleylinux | :) | 06:26 |
| cbx33 | hehe | 06:26 |
| === ogra checks how that happened | ||
| ogra | oh | 06:27 |
| ogra | hehe | 06:27 |
| ogra | the install is the beta1 iso :) | 06:27 |
| ogra | 20-Apr-2006 11:51 | 06:27 |
| Petaris | eeek | 06:27 |
| sbartleylinux | ahhh. just named beta2 to confuse me. | 06:27 |
| sbartleylinux | lol | 06:27 |
| Petaris | with this new kernel x is horrifically slow | 06:27 |
| sbartleylinux | ok. so, the dapper beta1 cd was in the drive.:) | 06:28 |
| ogra | Petaris, ask in #ubuntu-kernel if there is a way to enable preempt through a kernel option | 06:28 |
| Petaris | my desktop wallpaper wont even show | 06:28 |
| Petaris | ok | 06:28 |
| ogra | sbartleylinux, hmm | 06:28 |
| === cbx33 is hanging on every word | ||
| cbx33 | :p | 06:29 |
| cbx33 | ogra, quick question is audacity included with edubuntu? | 06:30 |
| ogra | nope | 06:30 |
| cbx33 | ok | 06:30 |
| ogra | wxgtk is just to big | 06:30 |
| cbx33 | for some reason i thought it was | 06:30 |
| cbx33 | ah understandably | 06:30 |
| Petaris | ogra: they say it should already be enabled by default | 06:31 |
| ogra | Petaris, on the server kernel ? | 06:31 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, let me add some info on the process I went through. This is a test for several items we are attempting. The system being used is an IBM T43 laptop. We wanted to build and test w/ ltsp-server as we will be doing demos in the field using this system. | 06:31 |
| ogra | ok | 06:31 |
| cbx33 | sbartleylinux, nice :p | 06:31 |
| ogra | sbartleylinux, i tested the CD myself and it had no problems ... thats what bothers me here | 06:32 |
| sbartleylinux | We are using the on-board nic as the only network device. So, I installed ubuntu with the nic connected to the Internet for the install. | 06:32 |
| sbartleylinux | After installed, I installed all updates. | 06:33 |
| sbartleylinux | Next, I installed ltsp-server-standalone and openssh-server. | 06:33 |
| ogra | there were none recently that could affect ltsp | 06:33 |
| ogra | huh ? | 06:33 |
| ogra | these are installed by default | 06:33 |
| ogra | (in edubuntu) | 06:33 |
| sbartleylinux | ubuntu cd, not edubuntu | 06:34 |
| ogra | oh | 06:34 |
| sbartleylinux | Sorry. thought you remembered that. | 06:34 |
| ogra | yeah, indeed | 06:34 |
| ogra | sorry i forgot | 06:34 |
| sbartleylinux | After install of all this, I unplugged from Internet and reconfigured nic for local ip settings. | 06:34 |
| ogra | hmm, it can actually be that ldm is missing there, i never checked | 06:34 |
| Petaris | ogra: zul_ believes that it is in the server kernel as well | 06:34 |
| ogra | Petaris, hmm, strange | 06:35 |
| sbartleylinux | Did ltsp-build-client --mirror file:///cdrom w/ install cd in drive. | 06:35 |
| sbartleylinux | Got that message on ldm. | 06:35 |
| ogra | yep | 06:35 |
| ogra | thats your problem | 06:35 |
| sbartleylinux | did dhcpd.conf mods and restared | 06:35 |
| sbartleylinux | k. | 06:35 |
| cbx33 | ping LaserJock | 06:35 |
| sbartleylinux | So, need to reconfigure nic, connect to Internet, install ldm. then reverse? | 06:36 |
| ogra | i fear you need to use a networked ltsp-build-client | 06:36 |
| ogra | the missing ldm can have unpredictable sideeffects | 06:36 |
| sbartleylinux | k. | 06:36 |
| sbartleylinux | does doing the ltsp-build-client while networked code anything using the network configuration information? | 06:36 |
| ogra | nope | 06:37 |
| sbartleylinux | ok. I can do that. brb | 06:37 |
| ogra | it just bootstraps a basic system and installs all needed client software there | 06:37 |
| sbartleylinux | k | 06:37 |
| cbx33 | ping Bluekuja | 06:38 |
| Bluekuja | hey cbx33 | 06:38 |
| Bluekuja | :) | 06:38 |
| Bluekuja | i arrived 2 minutes ago | 06:38 |
| Bluekuja | tell me | 06:39 |
| highvoltage | what would it cost to have pamphlets printed? | 06:39 |
| Bluekuja | mmm.. pete? | 06:39 |
| highvoltage | (edubuntu pamphlets, that is) | 06:39 |
| cbx33 | highvoltage, I'm not sure...I'll have to get prices | 06:39 |
| cbx33 | If you want me to proceed to that stage I can | 06:39 |
| Bluekuja | yes, pete it would be nice | 06:40 |
| sbartleylinux | ok. ltsp-build-client running again. | 06:40 |
| Bluekuja | then just shoot me the price | 06:40 |
| highvoltage | i wouldn't mind chipping in, perhaps even do a a little fundraising | 06:40 |
| cbx33 | it would be nice | 06:40 |
| cbx33 | maybe school-forge would help us out too | 06:40 |
| highvoltage | i think we should get prices once a leaflet is finalised. | 06:40 |
| cbx33 | yes | 06:40 |
| cbx33 | i agree | 06:40 |
| cbx33 | otherwise I have no idea of page numbers etc | 06:40 |
| Bluekuja | me too | 06:40 |
| highvoltage | then we can take a chance and see if canonical can fund it (if they can, then great) | 06:40 |
| highvoltage | and if they can't, then we just find another way of getting it printed. | 06:41 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, while that is running, I have a second question. how does edubuntu deal with automount of devices like cd or usb? When a device is put in, does the automount get displayed to all clients or just to the console? | 06:41 |
| ogra | nope | 06:41 |
| cbx33 | excellent highvoltage | 06:41 |
| cbx33 | well, we got a lot of work to do to make feature freeze tomorrow | 06:42 |
| ogra | local device support is on the roadmap for edgy eft | 06:42 |
| cbx33 | all the remaining packages need to be documented | 06:42 |
| cbx33 | I'm sure I missed one or two but all the ones that need doing are on the planning page | 06:42 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, sorry, not local but console device with automount. | 06:42 |
| ogra | currently there is nothing been done, i can only refer to ltsp.org | 06:42 |
| sbartleylinux | k. | 06:42 |
| ogra | they have a ubuntu -deb | 06:42 |
| ogra | and howtos | 06:42 |
| ogra | i'll also update our ltspfs packages | 06:43 |
| sbartleylinux | Thought maybe edubuntu had dealt with it due to the problems it creates. | 06:43 |
| ogra | nope, not before eft | 06:43 |
| sbartleylinux | k. thx. | 06:43 |
| cbx33 | Bluekuja, I did two more apps today | 06:43 |
| cbx33 | 3 but i documented on that isn't in edubuntu | 06:43 |
| ogra | and it would be far too late, feature freeze was months ago | 06:43 |
| cbx33 | grr. | 06:43 |
| cbx33 | we need to get all apps done today and tomorrow so friday i can categorise with LaserJock | 06:45 |
| cbx33 | then I'll work on the docbook conversion | 06:45 |
| === cbx33 has seen the initial concept of the wallpaper :D | ||
| cbx33 | looking great | 06:47 |
| cbx33 | when will we see what the default will look like? | 06:48 |
| ogra | probably not before release date | 06:50 |
| ogra | no idea, i dont decide that | 06:50 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, k. ltsp-build-client completed with no apparent errors that time. Reconfigured network. Same result. Text login. | 06:51 |
| ogra | alt-f7 ? | 06:52 |
| sbartleylinux | :) | 06:52 |

| mhz | hi all | 07:22 |
| Petaris | hightvoltage: I'm having issues with that linux server image | 07:22 |
| mhz | neurogeek: hi mon, nice to see ya | 07:23 |
| mhz | ogra: do you know if there's already cd artwork for Edubuntu 6.06 (both live and install) ? | 07:23 |
| ogra | nope, i havent seen anything | 07:24 |
| neurogeek | mhz, well hello.. how are you doing?? | 07:24 |
| === iloadmin [n=iloadmin@pool-68-237-111-89.ny325.east.verizon.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| mhz | ogra: has someone owned that yet? (will the designer do it?) | 07:25 |
| ogra | i suspect there is something in the works | 07:25 |
| iloadmin | hello | 07:25 |
| mhz | neurogeek: lot better, thanks man. And you? still with Ricardo? | 07:25 |
| Petaris | wth? | 07:26 |
| ogra | but we're treated a bit like an unloved child wrt artwork | 07:26 |
| ogra | (we == JaneW and me) | 07:26 |
| Petaris | its magically working now | 07:26 |
| Petaris | weird | 07:26 |
| ogra | so i dont know anything | 07:26 |
| iloadmin | hi I need to know if dhcp is running | 07:26 |
| iloadmin | dhcp server | 07:26 |
| mhz | ogra: oohhh Why? | 07:26 |
| mhz | .oO(gee! I it's seems one dissappears for a couple of weeks and the world changes a lot ;) ) | 07:27 |
| Petaris | hrm, thats odd | 07:27 |
| pirast | iloadmin: try ps -A | grep dhcp | 07:28 |
| Petaris | with smp and the full 8GB of ram the system seems to be running slower then before | 07:28 |
| pirast | iloadmin: there should appear something like dhcp server.. | 07:28 |
| mhz | ogra: it is for any good, I love JaneW and you. :D | 07:28 |
| neurogeek | mhz, kind of.. just for educational stuff.. | 07:28 |
| mhz | neurogeek: oh, is that good or not so good? | 07:28 |
| pirast | bye | 07:28 |
| ogra | mhz, edubuntu dapper will look like a big chalkboard btw, no veto accepted | 07:29 |
| highvoltage | hi mhz! | 07:29 |
| ogra | (we tried everything ) | 07:29 |
| iloadmin | 6733 ? 00:00:00 dhcpd3 | 07:29 |
| ogra | iloadmin, look like its running then | 07:29 |
| iloadmin | ok | 07:29 |
| mhz | ogra: ooh, damn. Let me guess...then when you "tried everything" they started loving you less? | 07:29 |
| iloadmin | no thin clients are recievin ip Address | 07:30 |
| mhz | highvoltage: hi mon!!! | 07:30 |
| ogra | iloadmin, but you are sure there is only on dhcp server in that network ? | 07:30 |
| ogra | and the running one is tied to the right interface ? | 07:30 |
| iloadmin | yes there is only one | 07:31 |
| iloadmin | this is the edubuntu setup with dhcp and a switch | 07:31 |
| mhz | highvoltage: i have some docs I have been unable to translate into english or afrikaans yet. Still useful for you or prefer to wait until I have Gov. confirmation? | 07:31 |
| neurogeek | mhz, thats good.. as far as i can tell.. jhehe.. im starting my own company for projects | 07:31 |
| mhz | neurogeek: cool! | 07:32 |
| iloadmin | ogra | 07:32 |
| iloadmin | everything was working fine | 07:32 |
| mhz | neurogeek: about? | 07:32 |
| iloadmin | now all the thin clients are not recieving ipadddress | 07:32 |
| ogra | sounds rather like a hardware prob | 07:32 |
| ogra | or like some problem with the switch config (if its configurable) | 07:33 |
| neurogeek | mhz, linux support, development and graphics design | 07:33 |
| mhz | neurogeek: very cool! | 07:33 |
| mhz | neurogeek: by starting, you mean already working? or just planning? | 07:34 |
| neurogeek | mhz, nope.. already working | 07:35 |
| neurogeek | mhz, so if you have nice project i can help with.. that would be awesome.. !! | 07:35 |
| mhz | neurogeek: url? | 07:36 |
| neurogeek | http://www.makoto.com.ve | 07:36 |
| mhz | neurogeek: is it Flash what I am seeing?? | 07:37 |
| === Laser_away is now known as LaserJock | ||
| cbx33 | hi LaserJock | 07:37 |
| ogra | mhz, since all my browsers refuse to show it, it must be :) | 07:38 |
| mhz | ogra: lol | 07:38 |
| neurogeek | mhz, yes.. my partners are graphical designers and they love that stuff.. i will be deleting that soon | 07:38 |
| mhz | lol | 07:38 |
| mhz | hmmm | 07:38 |
| mhz | neurogeek: "forcing" change is not very good tactic | 07:39 |
| iloadmin | is there a command to find out in which interface Dhcp is working | 07:39 |
| highvoltage | mhz: sorry, been working on docs | 07:39 |
| highvoltage | mhz: yes, i can try to babelfish them and try to make sense of them | 07:39 |
| highvoltage | mhz: i'd like to prepare as much as possible, as early as possible, since the following month is quite packed :) | 07:40 |
| neurogeek | iloadmin, cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf | 07:40 |
| LaserJock | hi cbx33 | 07:40 |
| mhz | highvoltage: okis then | 07:40 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, I did two more pacakges | 07:40 |
| mhz | highvoltage: really? next month is hectic? | 07:40 |
| mhz | :D | 07:40 |
| neurogeek | mhz, or i just probably open another site with open source stuff | 07:40 |
| highvoltage | mhz: also, if you have other url's, info for me that would be great! | 07:40 |
| cbx33 | hopefully between my and Bluekuja we hsuld finish those tonight | 07:40 |
| ogra | iloadmin, and compare what neurogeek said with ifconfig -a :) | 07:40 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: cool | 07:40 |
| highvoltage | mhz: well, i'm starting a company with 4 other people in early July, there's a *lot* of work to be done to make that happen | 07:41 |
| highvoltage | mhz: i have lots of plans for linuxworld that's happening the week after next week | 07:41 |
| cbx33 | highvoltage, I know that | 07:41 |
| cbx33 | :p | 07:41 |
| mhz | highvoltage: well, as a matter of fact, we are paying for the domain today. We also have a url (to my home server) where we'll be using Moin + CSS for FET | 07:41 |
| mhz | highvoltage: however, the CSS is sooooo pending :D | 07:42 |
| highvoltage | mhz: then there's the new tuxlab setup that i promised to the people at work will be finished within two weeks after dapper is released | 07:42 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: are you putting what you have on ESA? | 07:42 |
| highvoltage | mhz: geez, and a bunch of other stuff, really :) like the possible conference in chile, the possible summit in paris... | 07:43 |
| mhz | highvoltage: yeah, been there... looooot of wooooork to start a project of your own | 07:43 |
| highvoltage | OMG | 07:43 |
| highvoltage | on the South African weekest link, they just asked about the Ubuntu foundation! | 07:43 |
| Burgwork | ogra, http://live.gnome.org/EducationSuite | 07:44 |
| JaneW | highvoltage: no way? | 07:44 |
| JaneW | I was just watching and came here instead | 07:44 |
| highvoltage | JaneW: yes way! | 07:44 |
| highvoltage | the person didn't get it though :/ | 07:44 |
| JaneW | cos my kids were moaning because I was answering all the questions | 07:44 |
| JaneW | when they are not for me | 07:44 |
| JaneW | :P | 07:45 |
| JaneW | highvoltage: cool, what was the question? | 07:45 |
| mhz | highvoltage: the previous date fot FET (april 27th) we had to move it to June mainly because of time shortage (and zero funding). We rented the rooms (3 conference rooms at a Hotel) for June 1st and 2nd and right after that, Mark sends and email stating Dapper will be release on june 1st. Gee! So, highvoltage, I apologize for so much to do :D | 07:45 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, yes | 07:45 |
| cbx33 | it's all on there | 07:45 |
| ogra | Burgwork, wow, gnome wakes up ! :) | 07:45 |
| ogra | finally | 07:46 |
| Burgwork | ogra, I just created that, so there is nobody yet actually doing the coding | 07:46 |
| ogra | ah, k | 07:46 |
| ogra | there is one SoC project | 07:46 |
| Burgwork | but I have had people express intereste | 07:46 |
| ogra | but the direction isnt really clear yet | 07:46 |
| Burgwork | I think integrating existing programs is the sanest way | 07:46 |
| JaneW | highvoltage: so what was the answer? | 07:46 |
| JaneW | and the quest | 07:47 |
| ogra | Burgwork, writing missing progs as well | 07:47 |
| highvoltage | JaneW: i can't remember. | 07:47 |
| Burgwork | ogra, yes | 07:47 |
| highvoltage | JaneW: the question was 'who founded the ubuntu foundation, a fund to back the ubuntu linux distribution in 2005" | 07:47 |
| ogra | Burgwork, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleSoC2006#head-2d0eb2685d15d0956c48d70bb2ea7b08c6ade022 | 07:48 |
| JaneW | highvoltage: cool | 07:48 |
| mhz | ogra: last week, about 10 finnish companies were here (Santiago, Chile). I was invited to talk to Nokia and ask them to provide funds to support the development of edu apps. for mobile devices. | 07:48 |
| highvoltage | mhz: no need to apologise, i work well under pressure :) | 07:48 |
| mhz | ogra: will you be interested? | 07:48 |
| Burgwork | ogra, yep I saw that. Hence why I posted you that link | 07:48 |
| ogra | mhz, as soon as buntu exists, yes | 07:48 |
| mhz | highvoltage: I used to think I was able to do that too, until my body complained a lot. even withouth my consentment | 07:49 |
| highvoltage | ogra: are there any (possible) improvements for etherboot that could help us? i see they're involved with SoC too | 07:49 |
| ogra | unless these apps run out of the box in a "normal" system | 07:49 |
| ogra | highvoltage, etherboot ? | 07:49 |
| highvoltage | mhz: my body is complaining, but i'm finding ways around it | 07:49 |
| highvoltage | ogra: yes | 07:49 |
| ogra | making etherboot image cvreation work out of the box for us would be cool, but thats a matter of fixing the ltsp-update-kernels script | 07:50 |
| highvoltage | yeah, and that's not something they can fix, because it's only the old etherboot versions that have trouble working, that doesn't have pxe emulation. | 07:51 |
| highvoltage | i see the new etherboot is going to be called gPXE | 07:51 |
| ogra | g ? | 07:51 |
| === highvoltage looks for the page | ||
| mhz | ogra: I have not even had time to analyze the pros and cons. However, the impression I get is the person I spoke to (nokia manager for Latinamerica region...very good looking woman BTW) has no idea on how to develop such thing so she's asked us to present a draft, telling what we'd like to do. Hence, we got a very open chance to specify whatever ;) | 07:52 |
| ogra | will that rather be for the 770 or for mobile phones ? | 07:52 |
| highvoltage | mhz: nice ;) | 07:53 |
| ogra | (the 770 runs gtk afaik) | 07:53 |
| mhz | highvoltage: indeed. The only way I found is "roller skating" :D and of course, falling off trying to master some jumps :D | 07:53 |
| highvoltage | mhz: for me, it's going to the gym. i felt very sick from friday to sunday, and then i started doing excercise again, and now i feel better | 07:53 |
| highvoltage | ogra: http://etherboot.org/wiki/doku.php?id=socideas | 07:54 |
| mhz | ogra: whatever devices we consider and whatever ways we consider. Of course, we have to consider at least 1 nokia model, but I'd rather consider to do something as "open" as possible in terms of "if you have PDA, Phone, etc., you can still enjoy linux based edu apps" (maybe even VPN's) | 07:56 |
| ogra | highvoltage, i dont really see a need | 07:56 |
| highvoltage | ogra: ok, understandable. i do think that there might be areas of improvement that might influence us one day | 07:57 |
| ogra | if we have mknbi working out of the box to support all older etherboot cards we're fine | 07:57 |
| mhz | ogra: that, because Familiar and Debian OS'es, as well as desktops such as Opie and GPE have done good imporvements | 07:57 |
| ogra | i dont see the need to fiddle with the PXE protocol etc | 07:57 |
| highvoltage | for example, they are working on other ways to boot / download the kernel, you could get it, for instance "Add a new network protocol, such as https, ftp or smb" | 07:57 |
| highvoltage | i think that's quite interesting. | 07:57 |
| === pirast [n=admin@p508B024F.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | mhz, something gpe based would also work for us :) | 07:58 |
| mhz | VERY interesting (boot methods) | 07:58 |
| mhz | ogra: yup | 07:58 |
| highvoltage | they have some very interesting ideas. | 07:58 |
| ogra | highvoltage, it is, but out of focus for edubuntu | 07:58 |
| highvoltage | i think the the etherboot project will one day become more popular than old fasioned pxe. | 07:58 |
| mhz | SmartBootManager... good project but my pcmcia cd drive still does not boot from it | 07:59 |
| highvoltage | ogra: you're right, i just thought i'd mention it to you, since you might have some suggestions for them. if you don't, then no problem :) | 07:59 |
| mhz | hehehe | 07:59 |
| Petaris | What is this chalkboard interface you keep talking about | 07:59 |
| ogra | i just have my head full of other stuff currently :) | 07:59 |
| mhz | then, no problem :D | 07:59 |
| Petaris | *for dapper | 07:59 |
| ogra | Petaris, the new default theme | 07:59 |
| ogra | dark green | 07:59 |
| highvoltage | ogra: completely understandable | 08:00 |
| ogra | developed by a design company | 08:00 |
| Petaris | are there any screenies? | 08:00 |
| ogra | nope | 08:00 |
| Petaris | hrm | 08:00 |
| Petaris | oh well | 08:00 |
| === mhz still can complain about chalkboard | ||
| Petaris | wont affect me anyway | 08:00 |
| ogra | i'm not allowed to show anything public yet | 08:00 |
| mhz | hehehehe | 08:00 |
| ogra | mhz, sure you can but nobody will listen | 08:00 |
| === highvoltage will listen | ||
| ogra | true | 08:01 |
| === ogra too | ||
| mhz | highvoltage: true | 08:01 |
| LaserJock | ogra: funny thing is, my department just went to all whiteboards so if they want to really go uni they should have a plain white background ;-) | 08:01 |
| mhz | ogra: tru | 08:01 |
| mhz | e | 08:01 |
| ogra | LaserJock, haha | 08:01 |
| ogra | i'll forward that *g* | 08:01 |
| Petaris | ogra: can't people just switch the theme after installation? | 08:01 |
| mhz | Petaris: yes | 08:01 |
| ogra | Petaris, yes, but most dont do that | 08:01 |
| mhz | Petaris: ogra's right...that's why it was important to complain | 08:02 |
| Petaris | there we have it, proof that I am not most prople ;p | 08:02 |
| ogra | which gained us a fair amount of publicity through the edubuntugirl pic | 08:02 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, I was thinking that too | 08:02 |
| Petaris | edubuntugirl pic? | 08:02 |
| LaserJock | ogra: to be honest, in the US anyway, chalkboards are more a symbol of old, archaic ways of doing things. | 08:02 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, here too | 08:02 |
| ogra | i.e. you can even recognoze the person on the photo is running edubuntu if the display is 10m behind him | 08:03 |
| mhz | ogra: hehehehe, one friend of mine wanted to see a background of a sexy japaneese school girl...obviously, I had to slap him a bit :D | 08:03 |
| ogra | LaserJock, yep, not only in the US | 08:03 |
| mhz | LaserJock: in Chile too! | 08:03 |
| Petaris | mhz: ooh, me too | 08:03 |
| ogra | i think it transports the wrong message | 08:03 |
| mhz | Petaris: hehehe | 08:03 |
| Petaris | lol | 08:03 |
| ogra | highvoltage, btw, where is she ? | 08:04 |
| === highvoltage goes to fetch her | ||
| mhz | ogra: she growned up and moved to RPM's | 08:04 |
| ogra | dont take her home with you all the time | 08:04 |
| mhz | :D | 08:04 |
| Petaris | haha | 08:04 |
| ogra | we also want to spend time with her | 08:04 |
| iloadmin | ok | 08:05 |
| iloadmin | Now | 08:05 |
| Petaris | Now? | 08:05 |
| Petaris | are you sure? | 08:05 |
| ogra | and then :) | 08:05 |
| highvoltage | ogra: juliux has a server where she can lives, she'll migrate when i give him the list of perl modules he needs to install | 08:05 |
| ogra | oki | 08:05 |
| cbx33 | heheh | 08:05 |
| mhz | ogra: oh, do you think highvoltage has a "look" like Rooney football player (Manchester United)? | 08:05 |
| cbx33 | heheheh | 08:05 |
| ogra | mhz, no idea | 08:05 |
| ogra | i'm a soccer hater :) | 08:06 |
| mhz | oooh | 08:06 |
| highvoltage | mhz: where does that question come from? and what does rooney look like? | 08:06 |
| === mhz only watches the very good teams playing..once in a while | ||
| highvoltage | mhz: when i was in london, i bought a vodafone soccer t-shirt, and it says rooney at the back. | 08:06 |
| === ogra will even happily leave to paris to get around parts of the championship | ||
| mhz | highvoltage: lol | 08:07 |

| pirast | does anyone know the gconf keys for desktop and panel icons? | 08:08 |
| ogra | gconf-editor does :) | 08:09 |
| ogra | (it has a keyword search function) | 08:09 |
| mhz | highvoltage: no "from" in this case. It's just that I was wathching the news this morning and they showed Rooney's face.. And then I remembered I had seen a similar face... it was your hackergotchi or a phote with JaneW 's cake | 08:09 |
| highvoltage | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Rooney | 08:09 |
| mhz | lol! | 08:09 |

| mhz | hehehe | 08:11 |
| highvoltage | mhz: he's 3 years younger than me | 08:11 |
| mhz | "about" :D | 08:11 |
| ogra | you google from your phone ? | 08:11 |
| === ogra only phones from his phone | ||
| highvoltage | yes. | 08:12 |
| highvoltage | i even wikipedia from my phone. | 08:12 |
| ogra | even it has a million of gimmicks | 08:12 |
| === mhz used to google mail from his former Treo 600 PDA | ||
| highvoltage | and read ubuntu planet on it :) | 08:12 |
| mhz | highvoltage: I received a couple of urls from a friend, stating Google is something "not good" at all | 08:13 |
| mhz | despite his terrific searching engine | 08:13 |
| highvoltage | well, google is a good search engine, the rest is up for negotiation. | 08:14 |
| ogra | yeah and microsoft pays $250 for mails | 08:14 |
| highvoltage | i'm not a fan of the company, fwiw. | 08:14 |
| pirast | ah i found it.. thanks anyway :-) | 08:14 |
| ogra | sounds pretty much like spam :) | 08:14 |
| mhz | and I found out there's a banch of people organizing a whole anti-google organization | 08:14 |
| ogra | google is a hell of a pusher for opensource | 08:14 |
| highvoltage | mhz: yes, they're called yahoo, excite and microsoft ;) | 08:14 |
| mhz | lol | 08:15 |
| ogra | i dont see any reason to not like them | 08:15 |
| highvoltage | ogra: agreed. i'm not a fan, but i'm not against them either. | 08:15 |
| ogra | (they even use ubuntu on some desktops) | 08:15 |
| ogra | or rather goobuntu | 08:15 |
| highvoltage | they're big and they have large market share, but i can't see how they broke the rules to get there. | 08:15 |
| mhz | I got the urls and even a Video. I read the why's. I still have no "my own" thought about it. | 08:16 |
| ogra | their derivative | 08:16 |
| highvoltage | unlike some other large companies. | 08:16 |
| mhz | basically, the urls complained about Google DB's | 08:16 |
| ogra | isnt the summer of code enough reason to like them ? | 08:17 |
| mhz | and that even when you delete mails from gmail, they are still kept "for backup pruposes" | 08:17 |
| ogra | no other company spends that amount of money for free opensource projects | 08:17 |

| ogra | finally youre back :) | 08:18 |
| highvoltage | ogra: i think SoC is good reason to like them, but not enough for me to go fanboy on them | 08:18 |

| pygi | pygi date? what's that? :P new format of date? | 08:33 |
| pygi | highvoltage: well, I think end of applications? | 08:33 |
| highvoltage | ah, ok. | 08:33 |
| highvoltage | pygi: it's just information i keep in my pygi namespace | 08:33 |
| pygi | highvoltage: heh | 08:34 |
| pygi | JaneW: I hope you are alive? | 08:36 |
| pygi | highvoltage: the book is may 10? | 08:36 |

| pygi | edubuntugirl: hm, what do you mean? | 08:41 |
| edubuntugirl | pygi: sure thing | 08:42 |
| cbx33 | dose our edubuntu have the experimental filter support in Kino? | 08:42 |
| iloadmin | question | 08:47 |
| iloadmin | how do I make a login name stay in the field of user name after it is loged in] | 08:47 |
| highvoltage | iloadmin: the edubuntu login screen? what do you mean? | 08:48 |
| iloadmin | the thin clients boot up | 08:51 |
| iloadmin | then is there a way for me to have the names of the user stay on the screen | 08:51 |
| iloadmin | do you Understand the question | 08:54 |
| highvoltage | ah yes, i understand now | 08:56 |
| highvoltage | there isn't a feature like that, no. | 08:56 |
| Petaris | highvoltage: ever since installing that kernel my system has been crawling | 08:57 |
| highvoltage | i don't think it's likely to be implemented, it's probably not a feature that will be largely used. | 08:57 |
| Petaris | its even slower then windows | 08:57 |
| === Petaris shudders | ||
| highvoltage | Petaris: really? wow. on the local machine only, or when the clients start up? | 08:57 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: that's with the server kernel, right? | 08:57 |
| Petaris | when using just 1 client | 08:57 |
| Petaris | yeah, that linux-image-server package | 08:58 |
| highvoltage | now i'm extra anxious to try that kernel on a server. | 08:58 |
| Petaris | my whole 8 GB of ram is now avaliable though | 08:58 |
| Petaris | but there are deffinatly issues | 08:58 |
| highvoltage | hmmm.. you could use the 686 image, but then you only see 4GB RAM :/ | 08:59 |
| Petaris | I really need this system up by the end of tomarrow | 08:59 |
| === highvoltage ponders quickly | ||
| pygi | highvoltage: it should be just around few percents slower | 08:59 |
| Petaris | highvoltage: and could only use 1 of my processors | 08:59 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: hmm.. that's not good | 08:59 |
| Petaris | indeed | 09:00 |
| === highvoltage joins #ubuntu-server to try to get some more input on this | ||
| === cbx33 [n=pete@84-45-238-195.no-dns-yet.enta.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| highvoltage | Petaris: how many clients will you be running from this server? | 09:03 |
| edubuntugirl | cbx33: it was true! we haven't seen the last of you! | 09:04 |
| Petaris | highvoltage: 25 | 09:04 |
| cbx33 | indeed it was | 09:04 |
| Petaris | highvoltage: Its vmware that will need those extra resources though | 09:05 |
| JaneW | msg sent | 09:05 |
| Petaris | and on top of everything else I will need sound to work | 09:05 |
| Petaris | and work well | 09:05 |
| lucasvo | Petaris: it should work with dapper | 09:05 |
| highvoltage | i think sound will be less of a problem than the vmware | 09:05 |
| Petaris | lucasvo: I can't get it to work | 09:06 |
| pygi | JaneW: so you are alive? | 09:06 |
| cbx33 | Petaris, what are you using with vmware | 09:06 |
| Petaris | cbx33: I use vmplayer to run ~15 win98 instances | 09:06 |
| cbx33 | ahhh | 09:07 |
| Petaris | for some legacy software | 09:07 |
| Petaris | speaking of which, anyone know of a good music software for use in ltsp? | 09:08 |
| Petaris | Something with a simple composer | 09:08 |
| Petaris | and one click playback | 09:08 |
| cbx33 | hmmm | 09:08 |
| cbx33 | oh...what was it called | 09:09 |
| cbx33 | there's rosegarden is it? | 09:09 |
| cbx33 | that's midi based | 09:09 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: not that i'm into that kind of thing, but have you bought the vmware licenses yet? win4lin is slightly lighter (and cheaper) than vmware | 09:09 |
| Petaris | we are using music ace 2 in the win98 images but it doesn't work well, or at all really | 09:09 |
| Petaris | highvoltage: don't need lics for vmplayer :) | 09:09 |
| cbx33 | vmware server is free now | 09:10 |
| Petaris | cbx33: rosegarden is way to advanced for elementary kids and way too heavy on the server | 09:10 |
| cbx33 | ahhh | 09:10 |
| cbx33 | hmmm | 09:10 |
| cbx33 | check out agnula for a list of packages | 09:11 |
| Petaris | I need a simple kidsie one | 09:11 |
| cbx33 | hmmm not sure there is one is there? | 09:11 |
| cbx33 | SoC here we come :p | 09:11 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: are you doing a SoC project? | 09:12 |
| cbx33 | no :p | 09:12 |
| cbx33 | don;t think I'll have the time | 09:12 |
| cbx33 | I'm too busy with edubuntu/ubuntu at the moment | 09:12 |
| cbx33 | I'd love to do one | 09:12 |
| cbx33 | you? | 09:12 |
| Petaris | SoC? | 09:12 |
| cbx33 | Summer of Code | 09:12 |
| cbx33 | 09:13 | |
| Petaris | ahh | 09:13 |
| LaserJock | heck no, I'm no programmer. I can do little coding for my research but that is about it | 09:13 |
| cbx33 | hahaha | 09:13 |
| cbx33 | you underestimate yourself | 09:13 |
| LaserJock | if I got paid to develop Edubuntu science meta packages, etc I'd be set | 09:13 |
| highvoltage | Petaris: i've asked mdz to join #ubuntu-server, if anyone would know what to do, it would be him | 09:14 |
| Petaris | cbx33: What I need is like a TuxMusic or something | 09:14 |
| cbx33 | hehe | 09:14 |
| cbx33 | true | 09:14 |
| Petaris | highvoltage: cool | 09:14 |
| cbx33 | TuxMusic with a little virtual keyboard | 09:14 |
| LaserJock | yeah, and a guitar and flute or something | 09:14 |
| cbx33 | yeh | 09:14 |
| Petaris | heh, theres a SoC project :) | 09:15 |
| cbx33 | indeed | 09:15 |
| cbx33 | oh how I'd love to work on it | 09:15 |
| LaserJock | I wonder, has anybody done a classification of software according to age? | 09:15 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, might be useful for ESA | 09:15 |
| LaserJock | software we have | 09:15 |
| iloadmin | Question | 09:16 |
| cbx33 | shoot | 09:16 |
| iloadmin | I have a windows 98 computer | 09:16 |
| LaserJock | ewww | 09:16 |
| iloadmin | and it gets a ipaddress | 09:16 |
| iloadmin | but no network connectivity | 09:16 |
| iloadmin | to the internet | 09:16 |
| iloadmin | all the other thinclients boot up and are able to browse the internet | 09:17 |
| iloadmin | the windows 98 doesn' | 09:17 |
| cbx33 | hmm | 09:17 |
| cbx33 | proxy? | 09:18 |
| iloadmin | I have to setup a proxy | 09:18 |
| iloadmin | ??? | 09:18 |
| iloadmin | dont have it on the thinclients | 09:18 |
| iloadmin | or the server | 09:18 |
| cbx33 | ok | 09:18 |
| pygi | highvoltage: you here? | 09:35 |
| highvoltage | according to LaserJock, i'm everywhere :) | 09:36 |
| pygi | highvoltage: what's the preffered format for help/documentation which is to be called from an application? | 09:36 |
| pygi | docbook? | 09:36 |
| highvoltage | pygi: the docteam is comfortable with docbook, so that sounds like a good choice | 09:37 |
| pygi | highvoltage: Mono Documentation thingy looks nice | 09:38 |
| pygi | people can contribute, and upload their contributions back to server with just a single click | 09:38 |
| highvoltage | nice | 09:39 |
| pygi | but that probably can't be used :-/ | 09:39 |
| pygi | for other projects, I mean :-/ | 09:39 |
| highvoltage | i don't know. best would be to ask on ubuntu-doc. i'm not sure what's the best, i just give them html :) | 09:40 |
| pygi | hehe | 09:41 |
| LaserJock | docbook is definately the easiest for us and Gnome uses it too. KDE uses html I think though | 09:47 |
| highvoltage | goodnight, #edubuntu! | 09:50 |
| pygi | night highvoltage | 09:50 |
| highvoltage | :) | 09:50 |
| Petaris | night highvoltage | 09:51 |
| LaserJock | are you taking edubuntugirl with you tonight? | 09:52 |
| Petaris | what is the command to rehash the client ssh keys? | 09:56 |
