ipfwaye, anyone awake ?03:06
ipfwI just want to know, does edubuntu have some docs that pop up when you first install, to teach the *basic* type commands ? ... cp, mv, mkdir, du, df, ls, cd, more, cat, and so on ?03:07
ograipfw, nope03:07
ograsince one of our targets is to make the system usable without console03:08
ograbut the desktop guide should explain how to do these tasks in a gui way03:09
ipfwthats dumb, an educational based distro -- to teach people how to avoid learning *Nix ;)03:09
ipfwis there a distro that does actually come up with docs to teach basic *nix commands ?03:10
ograwe are not aiming to be a distro to teach unix, we want to provide a teaching environment03:10
ipfwwhy teach everything but the OS it runs on ...03:11
ogrause tldp.org for such stuff03:11
ograindeed you can read all manpages in the help viewer03:11
ipfwhaving a hard time finding something that covers basics, I know its there, but alot to dig through03:12
ipfwthanks though03:13

JaneWpygi: hi, yes I am09:50
JaneWpygi: you seem to be here day and night09:50
JaneW:)09:50
pygiJaneW: :-P09:50
pygiI was thinking perhaps we could put on our wiki SoC page for which project we already have applied people09:50
pygiso people know they have a competition09:51
pygiand me and Vincent were talking...perhaps we should separate what mentors can vote on which projects applications (depending on their interests)09:52
cbx33JaneW: whats the status of TeacherTool?09:52
pygicbx33: you mean Student-Control-Panel?09:52
highvoltageOn the 4th of May, at two minutes and three seconds after09:53
highvoltage1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be:09:53
highvoltage01:02:03 04/05/0609:53
cbx33that too09:53
JaneWhighvoltage: except in America09:53
JaneWhighvoltage:  where it will be 01:02:03 05/04/0609:53
highvoltagethey're different with everything.09:53
JaneW:P09:53
cbx33JaneW: right, they already had theirs09:53
pygiJaneW: comments pls ? :)09:53
JaneWpygi: we could do your option 109:54
JaneWbut it requires a lot of admin09:54
JaneWstudents should assume there's competition09:54
pyginah, currently it doesn't09:54
pygiwe have just 15 applications by now09:54
pygiah,oki09:54
JaneWas the applications are generally 10-30 fold the available projects09:54
JaneWpygi: yes but it's early days09:55
pygiand what about the second thing?09:55
pygiyup, agreed09:55
JaneWpygi: they have till 22 May to apply09:55
pygiJaneW: huh, no09:55
pygijust until May, 8 if I am not mistaken?09:55
JaneWso I am palnning to really start getting into the applications next week09:55
JaneWthis week I am focusing on getting the mentors lined up and making sure we have proper ideas and idea some specs as afr as possible09:56
pygiJaneW: google announces results May, 2209:56
JaneWas for second sugeestion09:56
pygithey have to submit application by May,809:56
cbx33pygi: do you know of any progress on student control panel?09:57
JaneWgah09:57
JaneWpygi: you are correct09:57
JaneWdamn, I thiough there was longer than that09:57
pygicbx33: considering I am kinda working on it right now, the answer might be "no" :)09:57
pygiJaneW: no worries :) most applications will come last minutes :)09:57
cbx33pygi: no problem09:57
pygicbx33: but shoot, what are you interested in?09:57
cbx33well, I'm kinda clearing up the wiki09:58
pygicbx33: I'll be throwing a couple of features in for edgy09:58
highvoltageJaneW: edubuntu members are getting @ubuntu.com e-mail addresses, since they are ubuntu members too, do you think they should be getting @edubuntu e-mail addresses?09:58

JaneWpygi: I have heaps of e-mail enquiries (again) and am doing my best to respond to those and it would be nice to do some interacting via the Google Application too09:58
JaneWpygi: I don;t think we can limit mentors in that way, but I do think it will happen naturally09:58
pygiJaneW; ah,oki :) 09:59
cbx33so it's in active development :D09:59
JaneWpygi: and btw thanks for all the help with this, it's great to have some extra hands09:59

JaneWpygi: and then some promising ones too10:04
pygiJaneW: well, the ubiquity migrations assistant looks nice10:07
pygiI am not sure who is to mentor this, but I really think he/she should talk to student to clear some things out before May, 810:08
JaneWpygi: let me get the weekly report sorted, will you be around for a couple of hours?10:08
pygiJaneW: for like 2 more hours 10:08

ikksI tried http://co.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/04:15
ograhmm, it should work in any case without the co. in front 04:16
ograthats the main archive04:16
ograbut even if i'm the guy responsible for building the isos, i must admit i never used/tried jigdo, so i cant say much 04:16
ikksIs there a prefered method?04:17
ikksI've never used bittorrent or p2p software.04:17
ikksor just a wget?04:17
ikksof the whole iso would be better?04:18
lucasvoikks: bit torrent04:19
lucasvoit's quite good04:19
ikkswithout the co. got the same result :(04:19

pips1guys, I got a debian newb question for you...06:06
highvoltagefire away!06:06
pips1I am running dapper beta 2 on a test server06:06
pips1I'm interested in a package from universe... that package seems to being worked on as we speak, i.e. they are still packaging some dependencies...06:07
pips1so... I can install that version because of the missing dependency-packages.. BUT can I install the second-last package instead? Is it possible and how do I now what version number is the "second-latest" so I can enter that version number in my apt-get command?06:09
pips1sorry s/I can/I can't/06:09

pips1no takers for my question? anyone? ;-)06:15
highvoltagepips1: it's possible, strictly speaking, to install the package from breezy, but i think it will have many dependencies to other older versions, which would make it very difficult06:16
pips1right, i c06:16
pips1yeah, I figured that, and zope-cps has *tons* of dependencies, believe me :-)06:16
pips1that's why I was hoping it would be possible with apt-get in the first place... :-)06:17

ograeither alsa or even something way more weird i'm still breeding on :)07:50
cbx33boo !07:50
BluekujaI'm developing the idea on my school07:51
highvoltagecbx33: hi. another thing that needs to be checked on the wiki is the links07:51
Bluekujatalking with webmaster07:51
Bluekujato add links and pages of edubuntu07:51
ogra(like finding a way to cleanly access /dev of the client through network)07:51
Bluekujain the school site07:51
Bluekujahi pete07:51
highvoltagecbx33: ogra says that someone clicked on a link from a wiki page, and it linked to a page that doesn't exist anymore :/07:51
Petarisogra: I was thinking alsa as nearly everything supports it07:51
Petarisogra: If you get a chance listen to audio on a client and drag a window around07:52
ograPetaris, alsa is a driver set, not a sound daemon with network capabilitys07:52
Petarisyou will see what I mean about the crackles07:52
ogradid you set your display to 16bit ? 07:52
Petarisno07:52
ograas i asked ? :)07:52
ogratry that 07:52
Petarisok07:52
ograit saves huge amounts of bandwith07:52
cbx33highvoltage, I plan on checking all the links in the wiki later on07:52
Petariswhat was the variable again?07:52
highvoltagecbx33: nice07:52
Bluekujahighvoltage: i hope to have edubuntu installed for my school soon, to give the possiiblity to use it07:53
ograPetaris, X_COLOR_DEPTH=1607:53
highvoltageBluekuja: how is the italian translations in ed/ubuntu? are you going to use it in italian, or english?07:53
Petarisogra: ok, let me try that07:54
highvoltagehmmm.. i don't have X_COLOR_DEPTH in my example lts.conf07:54
ograput it in there07:54
Bluekujahighvoltage: well, italian translations are all almost complete, it will depend by school staff decision, maybe english maybe italian 07:54
ograand please drop all the mouse stuff07:54
Bluekujahighvoltage: if they accept my idea, well i'll have to do a great work to install the whole network07:55
Bluekujahighvoltage: something like 120 pc07:55
highvoltageogra: ok, changing now07:56
highvoltageBluekuja: wow, that's a big setup!07:56
ograhighvoltage, mouse options are only needed for serial mice, all other models should be autodetected07:56
Petarisogra: the screen doesn't look any different07:56
Bluekujahighvoltage: yep :) , well i think that if it will be done, all newspaper will talk about it in my region07:56

cbx33ogra, not ETA on that then...08:13
cbx33I want to start creating the pdf soon as, so when you find out drop me a mail or something08:14
ograhighvoltage, make XSERVER optional, we dont need it normally08:14
highvoltageok08:14
ograi'm also not sure 15 is a good default depth 08:14
ogra16 will be more common08:14
highvoltageooh, i meant to say 1608:15
ograRCFILE is supported as a variable, but we dont have floppyd or anything else like that08:15
highvoltageah, right. pity we don't have floppyd. should i just take the RCFILE example out for now? i think it's unlikely that someone will use it for this release.08:16
ograand my main target was to list all possible options in the lts.conf, lest see if i come around to it before release (its a lot of stuff), else i'll happily go with that one 08:16
ogra(everything is better than the current one which is taken from ltsp.org and has a lot of unused stuff)08:17
highvoltageok, i'll get that ltspparams page and try to get most of that in the example file, then you can tell me what i still miss08:19

Amaranthogra: How many KDE apps are used?08:57
highvoltageogra: yep. ogra, have you ever thought about openoffice vs abiword and gnumeric?08:57
AmaranthC++ apps seem to be very bloated, as far as disk space goes08:57
ograAmaranth, only some 10 or so kdeedu apps that have no replacement in gnome08:57
highvoltageabiword and gnumeric are in main now, and are much less resource-hungry08:57
ograbut that pulls in the whole set of kde langpacks08:57
highvoltagealthough, they don't have the kind of documentation and backing that OOo has.08:57
Amaranthbut they don't work with OpenDocument, do they?08:58
ograi wouldnt go with abiword for a school08:58
highvoltageAmaranth: yes, they do08:58
ograyou need word compatibility and there abiword still lacks08:58
AmaranthHow is their MS Office support?08:58
Amaranthyeah08:58
highvoltagei open all my .doc email attachments with Abiword08:58
highvoltageand that works fine. i suppose if you use it all the time it might be different.08:59
Amaranthyou can at least filter some of the open office things off the CD, no?08:59
AmaranthLike OOo Base08:59
highvoltagei don't think that gives you much space, and you'd probably have to do some weird packaging and OOo hacking to make that work.08:59
ograno idea if OOo still works then 09:00
LaserJockogra: how much space do we need to trim?09:00
Amaranthahh, good point09:00
ograbut we'll need to drop something essential 09:00

ograLaserJock, 8M oversized09:00
Amaranthouch09:00
ograand there are still some docs missing and i have no clue how big the final artwork will be09:00
LaserJockogra: do you have the list of installed packages (is that the seed?) ?09:00
ograso a bit more will be needed09:01

Amaranthin this case, anyway09:01
highvoltageogra: how large is tuxtype/tuxmaths?09:01
LaserJockogra: is there a URL for the seed?09:01
ograhighvoltage, very large09:01
pygiogra: let's just SoC coding a replacement educational apps for Gnome :)09:01

Amaranthogra: I thought ship was everyone on the CD and the others were filters on that data09:03
pygiAmaranth: yup :P09:03
ograAmaranth, nope a package should only be in one seed09:04
ograso ship is the stuff on the CD no other metapackage installs09:04
ograi.e. build-essential and friends09:04
Amaranth * oem-config   # this is small; it can be removed if there's space pressure, but it makes the OEM installer a lot easier to test09:05
Amaranthoh, it's super small09:05
ograyep that gains us nothing09:06
ograwe have three options:09:06
ogradropping a11y09:06
ogradropping fonts 09:06
ogradropping something from the edu apps09:06
ogras/from/of/#09:07
LaserJockogra: what about python stuff?09:08
ogradropping a11y might be ok for ltsp installs, since nothing of the a11y stuff got ever tested there09:08
ograLaserJock, wont gain us much unless we drop it all09:08
ograbut that would probably upset sabdfl09:09

ograBurgwork, exactly09:10

Amaranthogra: so it's deps wouldn't be dropped09:10
ograthats why we wont have a flight 7 since i didnt want to decide alone and in a rush09:10
LaserJockand we probably don't want to mess with hardware stuff like dropping hppa or sparc kernel modules et al.09:11

cbx33can we not recompile it?09:13

cbx33that's an idea09:14
cbx33seeing as gcompris when run over ltsp doesn;t have sound by default anyway09:14

highvoltagegcompris sounds aren't so crucial, imho.09:14
Burgworkcbx33, kde edu will be dropped for edgy09:14
AmaranthBurgwork: 9 of them are showing up in this list09:14
cbx33Burgwork, I know09:15
Amaranthonly on i386 though09:15
Amaranthso if amd64 and/or ppc are too big we still have to drop something else09:15
cbx33Burgwork, I jus thought for the man time can we modify to make it smaller09:15
cbx33maybe split it into two pacakges09:15
pygiAmaranth: may I ask you for a lill' favor? :)09:15
Amaranthpygi: sure09:15
cbx33and then update on first install09:15
BurgworkAmaranth, hmm09:16
pygiAmaranth: please go to ubuntu SoC wiki page, and add educational applications? :)09:16
pygisay it would also need good designer/artist skills09:16
Amaranthhehe09:16
HedgeMageis there a list somewhere I can skim of what is/isn't in right now?09:16
Amaranth"rewrite kdeedu apps in gtk"?09:16
pygiAmaranth: well, that might be one project09:16
AmaranthHedgeMage: is and isn't on the CD?09:16
pygiAmaranth: and the other would be just "Create new educational applications for Gnome"09:17
pygi"Be creative, be skilled, be educational" :)09:17
Amaranthi'll see what i can do09:17
Amaranthmy language skills are pretty bad though09:17
=== highvoltage calls it a day
HedgeMageAmaranth: is and isn't on the list, since I missed half the convo ;)09:17
highvoltagegoodnight everyone!09:17
BurgworkAmaranth, see live.gnome.org/EducationSuite09:17
AmaranthHedgeMage: http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/seeds/edubuntu-dapper/09:18
cbx33highvoltage, wait up09:18
pygiAmaranth: very thanks :)09:18
highvoltagecbx33: ok09:18
cbx33I'll get those chacters to you hopefully tomorrow when lisa has finished working on them09:18
cbx33and could you possibly have a quikc look at ESA tomorrow09:18
highvoltagecool :)09:19
HedgeMageI'm reading... when the discussion starts up again, someone please hilight me once or thrice09:25
pygiHedgeMage: uploaded writings?09:25
HedgeMagepygi: put one on... it's shorter than I'd like... the other was handwritten (also very short) I will grab it and type it up once I have a toddler-free moment09:26
=== bdoin [n=coudoin@home.gcompris.net] has joined #edubuntu
HedgeMageI've given up typing much with him "helping"09:26
pygiHedgeMage: nice :)09:26
HedgeMageWhen he goes to bed tonight, I plan to back up my HD and wipe it so I can do an install on it while writing my installation instructions :)09:29
cbx33HedgeMage, good plan09:30
cbx33if you need anything proofing just shout09:30
cbx33or a guinea pig to test it09:31
cbx33I can get my youthlug members testing it out09:31
HedgeMage(assuming we don't have a botnet attack like the other night when I tried to do it)09:31
HedgeMagecbx33: awesome :)09:31
cbx33:D09:31
HedgeMagecbx33: I'll let you know once I have it written.09:31
cbx33ok09:31
ograAmaranth, dropping the sounds will cripple gcompris since very much of the games require sounds , i'd rather not drop them09:35
Amaranthah09:36
pygiogra: well, can't we make people fetch it on first update?  :)09:36
ogra(and i dont really care if stuff is missing from the other arches)09:36
HedgeMagepygi: some people may not have a net connection at all, though09:36
ograpygi, not if they dont have network09:36
pygitrue 09:36
HedgeMageogra: GMTA ;)09:36
ograGMTA ?09:36
cbx33ogra, walked the dog already09:37
ograyeah, done :)09:37
bdoinogra: you can drop the country names at least, no activity require them09:37
HedgeMageogra: Great Minds Think Alike :)09:37
ograHedgeMage, heh, yes :)09:37
ograbdoin, country names ? 09:37
Amaranthpygi: the "rewrite kdeedu in gtk" idea is already there09:39
ogragcompris is one of our major apps, i wont rip anything of it out on i38609:39
bdoinfor example boards/sounds/en/geography/france.ogg09:39
pygiAmaranth: ah, link?09:39
Amaranthhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/edutainment09:39
Amaranthit's linked from the soc wiki page09:39
ograbdoin, i'm not sure if that wont break gcompris 09:39
cbx33but then kdeedu is getting dropped next release is it worth it?09:39
pygiAmaranth: hm,oki...then just add creating new edu apps09:39
cbx33ogra, if you wanted to drop stuff, I can test it out as much as I can :p09:40
ogracbx33, only if there are replacements09:40
cbx33true09:40
ograbdoin, also this would require repackaging of gcompris #09:40
bdoinogra: nope, I promise you it won't break anything. they are not present for all locale anyway and it does not prevent them to play09:40
cbx33ogra, are there components of kdeedu that could go?09:40
cbx33in this release?09:41
ogracbx33, we only ship a very limited set already09:41
cbx33hmm really?09:41
ograand the apps themselves are quite small09:41
cbx33i was not aware of that09:41
cbx33just a thought09:41
ograkstars is one thats big 09:41
ograbut as gcompris, dropping that will hurt09:42
LaserJockI think it might be best to try to not drop educational apps from a distro targeting educational settings09:42
cbx33LaserJock, yes09:43
pygiLaserJock: if we have GTK replacements, then it's all right09:43
Petarisogra: If I leave a client up for a while (logged in) and don't touch it for about 20 minutes it hard locks09:43
LaserJockpygi: but do we?09:43
Petarishrm09:43
Petarisand the dhcp server seems to dissappear09:43
pygiLaserJock: well, not yet =P09:44
=== Petaris thinks there is some underlying issue
LaserJockpygi: not for dapper I should think09:44
pygiLaserJock: agreed, not for dapper :)09:45
LaserJockunless there are some apps hiding around that I don't know about, which is entirely possible09:45
ograPetaris, did you install xubuntu-desktop to get xfce ? 09:45
Petarishrm09:45
Petarisogra yeah09:45
ograthats likely an yscreensaver prob then09:45
Petaristhere server seems odd09:45
ogras/x/y/09:45
PetarisI don't have xscreensaver running09:45
ograhmm09:45
Petarisand why would that screw with the server09:46
ograi thought xubuntu starts it by default09:46
Petarisit won't even shutdown09:46
Petaris:/09:46
bdoinall geography locales sounds in GC makes 14MB09:46
Petariswth09:46
ogracheck the logs on the server if the NIC re-negotiates half/full duplex 09:46
ograot the line speed09:46
cbx33ogra, what about screensavers on edubuntu?09:46
ogras/ot/or/09:46
cbx33any that are big?09:47
ogracbx33, there are none09:47
cbx33hehe09:47
cbx33kk09:47
ogranever were :)09:47
LaserJockanything in totem, serpentine, rhythmbox, sound-juicer, ekiga, gaim, blender, or evolution?09:48
Petarisbugger, just had to "big red button" it09:48
ograbdoin, i wont drop anything from our killer app and its to late to repackage it if i want to drop only parts09:48
cbx33do we nned sound-juicer and rythmbox|?09:48
ograLaserJock, serpentine could go, since rhythmbox supports audio CD writing, but thats only few kilobytes09:49
AmaranthHedgeMage: ping09:49
ogracbx33, it would drag us away from ubuntu ...09:49
bdoinogra: ok, we are glad you consider us this way. don't hesitate to ask for help on #gcompris when you have questions09:49
cbx33ogra, ok09:49
cbx33just asking09:49
ograbdoin, ineed, i'll do :)))09:50
HedgeMageAmaranth: what's up?09:50
AmaranthHedgeMage: they're discussing removals again09:50
HedgeMageooh... we started again, thanks for the hilight09:50
HedgeMage:)09:50
ograbut any kind of odd decision has to be made, probably dragging away from ubuntu defaults is the one that sucks least 09:50
ograthats what i try to determine09:50
=== HedgeMage nods
HedgeMagelooking for 8MB, correct?09:51
ogralikely more but 8M would make the install CD work again09:51
=== ogra guesses rather 12MB if the docs and artwork are final
cbx33hmmm09:52
cbx33what pushed it over, or has it been like this from the word go?09:52
Petarisogra: could it be an acpid issue?09:53
ograPetaris, it could alsio be a kernel issue, dunno what sideeffect it has what you did to the 64bit kernel to pretend to be 32bit 09:53
Petarishrm09:54
ograi know it makes laptops freak out if you do it, since thermal and cpuspeed control stop working there09:54
ograso it might be an acpi issue, yes09:54
ograBenC might know the sideeffects, since he lead you through changing the kernel09:55
ogracbx33, packages drow in size 09:56
ogra*grow09:56
Petarisogra: Here is what was done to make the kernel: http://phpfi.com/11610109:56
ograsome kb with every patch09:56
cbx33ogra, yeh09:56
cbx33just checking :p09:56
cbx33didn;t know if something new was added09:57
ograPetaris, yes, you pretend to be i38609:57
Petarisright09:57
ograi know how it works, but i also saw laptops exploding or hovering 1m above the ground with that 09:58
Petarishrm09:58
Amaranthooh, your laptop can levitate?09:58
HedgeMagelol09:59
Petarisogra: will the clients work if I run straight amd64?09:59
=== HedgeMage pictures "The Excorcist" but with laptops
ograAmaranth, i guess all amd64 lappies can if the fans are at the bottom09:59
ogra:)09:59
ograPetaris, the clients dont care about the server kernel09:59
=== C-O-L-T [n=icechat5@193.231.163.10] has joined #edubuntu
Petarisogra: but does it affect the software that needs to run on the clients?10:00
ograonly thig that counts for them is the kernel in the chroot and the one in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp10:00
ogra(which need to be the same, ltsp-update-kernels cares for that)10:00
ograPetaris, no, but it affects the software that runs on the server (user session)10:01
pygiAmaranth: you actually quoted me =P10:01
ograi.e. no flash, realplayer etc on amd6410:01
Petarisoh10:01
Petarisbugger10:01
ograpygi, hey i thought you wanted to vote10:01
Petarisso I am stuck10:02
pygiogra: ah, yes, yes :)10:02
pygiogra: it doesn't matter anyway :P He got the project :)10:02
ograPetaris, there is the option of building a 32bit chroot for certain apps to make flash work though10:02
pygiogra: even if some other will proposal gets 10000 points, they won't be accepted because they don't have a mentor10:02
Petarisogra: how well does that work?10:02
pygiAmaranth: oki, I am going to vote for you :)10:02
Amaranth:D10:03
ograPetaris, as well as every other solution, its just a pain to maintain another chroot10:03

Amaranthoh?10:13
ogralikely 6M for a 5.5M package 10:13
