juliuxcbx33, how are you?10:46
cbx33yeh I'm good10:46
cbx33you?10:50
cbx33sorry that took a while10:50
cbx33anyone know if the dapper release of the software updates package is set to use a proxy for downloading changes10:58
cbx33cos it's a bug in breezy as far as I can see10:58
cbx33it should probably use Network Proxy I should think10:59
cbx33ping ogra what do you think?10:59
ograthen you need to set the proxy in the apt settings 11:01
ograits no bug if a user session setting doesnt affect a system setting, thats a feature, dont forget apt is a sysadmin tool, not a user tool, you run it as a different user11:02
cbx33ok11:03
cbx33i'll try that ogra 11:03
cbx33thanks11:03
ograsee /etc/apt/apt.conf11:05

cbx33ok, ogra it is a bug, confirmed, if I run update manager from the command line, with an export of the proxy settings, it works11:10
cbx33I'll check launchpad to see if its a bug11:10

JaneW:)12:58
cbx33nice12:58
cbx33well, I was thinking, I spoke to highvoltage earlier12:58
cbx33and I was expressing my interest in taking ubuntu/edubuntu to the BETT show in London12:59
cbx33it'sthe biggest technology in education show in the UK12:59
cbx33once a year12:59
cbx33but although there is some Opensource presense01:00
cbx33there is no real linux presense01:00
cbx33it would be fantastic to take ubuntu there and show off what we can really do01:00
cbx33i know funding would be an issue, but I feel it would be so beneficial for us to get there01:00
cbx33have a few LTSP cilents running for people to try out01:01
cbx33etc etc01:01
JaneWsounds good01:01
JaneWwhen/where is it01:01
cbx33London01:01
cbx33in January/Febuary01:01
cbx33not quite sure when01:01
JaneWJohn Ridge (school forge) recommended we attend last year01:01
cbx33Yes definitely01:01
JaneWor was it this year?01:01
cbx33yes01:01
cbx33this year01:01
JaneWwe weren't ready though01:01
cbx33back at the beginning of the year01:01
cbx33no01:01
JaneWwill possibly be good timing for the next01:02
cbx33definitely01:02
JaneWwe'll have 6.10 out then01:02
cbx33esp with all the ESA work we're doing01:02
JaneWand should be pretty entrenched by then01:02
JaneWcbx33: can you prepare a proposal?01:02
cbx33of course01:02
cbx33wiki it?01:02
JaneWwe'll need to motivate to get corp sponsorship01:02
JaneWyes good idea01:02
cbx33of course we will01:02
cbx33I'll setup a page now unless you want to01:03
cbx33moodle managed to get there this year...ok it was a small stand, but they got there by donations01:03
JaneWif we get management support we *may* be able to get the ubuntu exhibition stand01:03
cbx33THAT would be AWESOME01:03
JaneWand we will have CDs now01:03
cbx33I'd definitely be interested in representing if people wanted01:03
JaneWand hopefully we can get some of the advocacy stuff printed01:03
cbx33JaneW: that's my plan :p01:03
JaneWI expect we may get an Ubuntu stand and can show case ed/K/X/Ububtu etc all at once01:04
JaneWunless it;s only appropriate for Edubuntu...?01:04
cbx33yeh that would be awesome01:04
cbx33well it's for education01:04
cbx33but01:04
JaneWlet's see what we can pull off01:04
cbx33ther eare so many offshoots01:04
cbx33indeed01:04
JaneWit would be great to demo an LTSP lab set-up etc01:04
JaneWdo kids attend?01:04
cbx33and I think one of the strongest arguments was one that I wrote a section on in the latest wiki01:04
cbx33JaneW: yes they sometimes do01:05
cbx33I could take youthlug along with me :p01:05
JaneWcos it would be nice to get them to give edubuntu a try and see how they take to it01:05
JaneWcbx33: we'll have a stronger argument to get this to happen if you are there and able to co-ordinate etc01:05
cbx33i would be willing to01:06
cbx33and I'm sure my boss would let me go01:06
cbx33if not I'll take holioday01:06
JaneWalso even if we don't get any/enough corp sponsorship we have enough time to look for alternate sponsors if we have to01:06
JaneW:)01:06
cbx33yes01:06
cbx33JaneW: it would be so awesome01:06
cbx33we could be the ones to take linux to the show :p01:07
cbx33edubuntu would get massive exposure01:07
JaneWI can;t promise Mark or anyone, but I do think if we get organised enough and have enough interest in edubuntu and he is available he'll start wanting to see how we are doing...01:07
cbx33yes01:07
JaneWcbx33: as kiko would say 'DOIT!'01:07
cbx33it'd be great 01:07
cbx33:p01:08
cbx33hehehe01:08
=== cbx33 is getting excited now
cbx33who do you think we could get?01:08
JaneWok can you start investigating and we'll discuss as required. bring it up in the weekly meetings too, and we can always schedule sep meetings too01:08
JaneWwe should try to get a UK Edubuntu LoCo going01:08

cbx33ok01:09
cbx33I'll get cracking on that later on01:09
JaneWwe need to seel what's good about BETT and why we should be there01:09
cbx33ok01:09

JaneWand how we would/could benefit from the exposure01:09
cbx33yes01:09

cbx33np, I'll get to work as soon as I can01:10
cbx33I'll submit it as a spec in LP01:11

mhzthat works very well for LiveCd's (knoppix, elive, dsl, etc) BUT edubuntu-live :(03:56
ograwhy would you do it with edubuntu-live ? we have a live installer03:56
mhzIn edbuntu-live, I just get to a #busybox03:56
mhzogra: of, course, my firts try was edubuntu-install... BUT03:57
mhzit keeps asking me to load a CD drive03:57
ograand neither of the other distros you listed uses such a new technology for the liveCD as we do (initramfs, squashfs etc)03:57
ograso did you try out ubiquity on edubuntu-live ? 03:57

LaserJockcould I just compare the desktop and live seeds?06:25
ograthe desktop seed is the base for edubuntu-desktop metapackage06:26
ograwhich is installed on the liveCD06:26
ograthe live seed contains the additional bity06:26

ograthe server guide is awesome 06:57
LaserJockogra: ubuntu-docs takes up almost 45 MB and I'm wondering if maybe not all of that is needed or should be integrated into an edubuntu-docs package06:57
ograindeed we could replace some parts there06:57
ograbut i would neither like to omit the desktop guide nor the server guide, i guess the pieces that are left then arent very big06:58
LaserJockhmm, I guess  your right. and surely we must keep the packaging guide ;-)06:59
ograi.e. about ubuntu06:59
ograor the ff homepages06:59
ograyeah06:59
LaserJockwell, it just seems odd to me that it still take 45MB for that06:59
LaserJockI know mdke cut it down quite a bit ( I think it was 70MB or something)07:00
ograyeah, i havent looked into the package yet, dunno if there are any screenshots07:02
LaserJockdoh, my stupid byte to megabyte conversion was off. it is 4.5MB07:02

ograbut its still not appropriate for the ltsp package, since its independent from edubuntu07:52
highvoltagejsgotangco: hehe!07:53
Amaranthhmm07:53
ograi.e. you can install it but dont generate the chroot in /opt, which means the .desktop file would fail07:53
Amaranthyou mean edubuntu doesn't come with lstp?07:53
Amaranthah07:53
Amaranthi don't know how this stuff works07:53
ograedubuntu creates the chroot in the installer 07:53
highvoltageogra: ooh, nice, that means i don't need a ltsediti386 ltseditamd64, etc :)07:53
ograbut ubuntu doesnt, you have to run ltsp-build-client manually07:54
ograif you dont do it the path in /opt doesnt even exist07:54
highvoltageah yes, and it won't work because you might be on a amd64 platform for server and i386 for client07:54
ograyep07:54
Amaranthogra: If you generated a shell script to launch the editor this can still work07:56
ograyep07:56
ograbut that wouldnt be as easy as the ,desktop file ;)07:56
Amaranthpoint the .desktop file to the shell script and use TryExec=true07:56
Amaranthif the shell script doesn't exist yet the .desktop file won't show up in the menus07:56
highvoltagewhat would the shell script do? would it check which directories exist in /opt/ltsp?07:57
ograthe lts.conf isnt needed anyway for a working ltsp, so its fine to leave it to the admin to edit it07:57
ograhighvoltage, yep and other error checks07:57
highvoltageperhaps it could give you a dialog asking if you want to edit 'i386', 'amd64' or 'ppc', but then we're getting too fancy for a nice and quick and dirty hack :)07:58
Amaranthhighvoltage: No, the shell script would just have gksudo "gedit /opt/ltsp/$(dpkg-print-architecture)/etc/lts.conf"07:58

highvoltageand i don't have an easy way yet to explain to the user how to get a thin client's mac address08:49
ograifconfig ?08:50
highvoltagethey'll need to log on to the local client for that, which means that they'll have to chroot and add a user / reset root passwd08:51
highvoltagesince they'll get the server MAC if they type ifconfig in a terminal when logged into ldm08:51
ograno, i mean run it at the end of the bootprocess08:51
highvoltageah, that sounds ok08:52
ograso you should have it on console08:52
highvoltagethat would be on tty8 then, right?08:52
ograyou can even rely on eth008:52
ograi dont remember from the top of my head, but i think so08:52
highvoltagethat's too new for dapper though, or is it small enough to squeeze in?08:53
ogranot for dapper, sorry08:53
highvoltageok, np08:53
ograthat needs decent testing08:53
highvoltagebut we can have it for edgy, right?08:54
ograbut you could make an initscript to copy paste on the wiki/website08:54
ograwe can even have the MAC on the ldm screen somewhere in edgy08:54
ogra(optional indeed)08:54
ograi was planning a config file for it08:55
ograso LTSPManager can have a show client MAC checkbox to enable it 08:55
highvoltagethat would be nice!08:56

highvoltageread http://www.edubuntu.org/thinclientconfig and make suggestions for improvement10:13
Burgworkhighvoltage, watch your english "XDMCP, which is more secure and efficient." - you seem to imply that XDMCP is more secure and efficent, over SSH, not the other way around10:13
cbx33highvoltage, reading now10:14
highvoltageBurgwork: i remember typing that, but not where. is that on the LTSP tour page?10:14
Burgworkhighvoltage, no, an email to someone asking about why edubuntu is just grand10:14
LaserJockcbx33: hi!10:15
highvoltageBurgwork: ah, right. thanks10:15
Burgworkhighvoltage, no problem. It is pretty common error10:15
Burgworka good, solid response otherwise10:15
cbx33hi LaserJock 10:15
HedgeMagehi cbx33, Burgwork 10:15
cbx33highvoltage, what about mentioning why you're pressing Alt F2 to bring up the run application screen10:15
highvoltagegood idea. pressing alt+f2 is second nature to me, i forgot that there's people who wouldn't know what it means10:16
Burgworksalut HedgeMage 10:17
cbx33highvoltage, tbh I didn't know about it :p10:17
LaserJockcbx33: have you got time now to work on ESA?10:17
cbx33also...where you mention about the mac addresses, is it possible to just enter the starting pattern of a mac address10:18
cbx33LaserJock, yes10:18
cbx33in about 5 minutes when i move downstirs with the laptop10:18
highvoltagecbx33: i use xfce and gnome and kde on different machines, and the only way of launching things that's always the same is alt+f2, so i use that almost exclusively to launch my apps :)10:18

cbx33highvoltage, can you do things like [ff:f5:f3] 10:19
cbx33to designate the start of a pattern of mac addresses?10:20
cbx33highvoltage, also back in the Alt F2 area, say why they need to type the root password, something like....you will then be prompted for your password10:21
highvoltagecbx33: i don't know, i don't think so10:21
highvoltagecbx33: would be a nice feature, you could then specify a setting for a range of thin clients with a specific brand network card10:22
cbx33yes10:22
cbx33highvoltage, i would like that10:22
Burgworkhighvoltage, what problem are we trying to solve?10:22
cbx33maybe we can put that into edgy10:22
cbx33or even have something like machine groups10:22
highvoltageBurgwork: bug #1, as always10:22
cbx33almost like an OU on a microsoft network10:22
Burgworkhighvoltage, no, what are you trying to solve with the alt-f2 solution?10:22
highvoltageBurgwork: oh, execute gedit with sudo privileges, see: http://www.edubuntu.org/thinclientconfig10:23
Burgworkhighvoltage, the 2nd part, not the first10:23
Burgworkthe 2nd is the problem, the first part of your statement is a potential solution10:23
cbx33there should be a button you can click in the title bar...or a key you can hold10:23
BurgworkI wanted to step back and see if it is even sane to be launching gedit as root10:24
cbx33so that what ever operation you do with the mouse...it performs it with root privialges10:24
cbx33Burgwork, what's the alternative>?10:24
cbx33terminal sudo nano?10:24
Burgworkcbx33, no, a custom dialog to deal with that, like what ogra is working on10:25
highvoltageBurgwork: is it any safer to run vim or nano or emacs with sudo?10:25
cbx33sure, but for now10:25
highvoltageBurgwork: yeah, we won't have it for dapper though :/10:25
Burgworkhighvoltage, the less code you have running as root, the better10:25
cbx33obviously10:25
highvoltageabsolutely right10:25
Burgworkthe problem with launching anything as root is people might forget that they are10:25
cbx33but i suppose we have to look at what we can do right now10:25
cbx33Burgwork, but at least here10:25
cbx33it's one instance of one app10:25
Burgworkyes, but for dapper, I think gedit with sudo is probably the best solutin10:25
cbx33not like being logged in as root or anything10:26
highvoltagethe problem with using vim in an example like this is, that you have to explain vim too, since the average user won't understand it.10:26
BurgworkI just wanted to make certain we were not looking too deeply at a problem and assuming only one solution10:26

ograand it fitted very well with the icons11:15
bobulatorhaha fair enough, just personal preference innit :)11:15
bobulatoryou dont have to justify it :p11:15
ograit doesnt mean we cant rethink it11:15

lucasvoOMG11:19
ograi'll see how the reactions in the talk are11:19
HedgeMageI love it. :)11:19
cbx33oh man....in a way that's worse than what I was expecting11:19
Burgworkogra, very cool, how was that created?11:19
HedgeMage:)11:19
cbx33at least make it look like a white board.....with drywipe markers :p11:19
lucasvothe edubuntu logo is not horrible11:19
ograBurgwork, a company, we had no chance to take any influence11:19
HedgeMageawww :(11:20
Burgworkogra, so there are restrictions on how it can be distributed?11:20
ograBurgwork, nope, it was just coinfident until today11:20
ograit will be in the artwork package which is ccbysa211:20
Burgworkogra, cool11:20
bobulatorogra: thats not peter's pojection, is it?11:21
bobulator*projection11:21
ograbobulator, peters ? 11:21
highvoltageogra: are you allowed to distribute your talk slides?11:21

bobulatormost world maps are really skewed to represent north and south larger, wheras in fact theyre relaly off on equal area11:22
bobulatorit represents the temperate territories (europe and north america) as much larger than they really are11:22
cbx33highvoltage, plan A :p11:22
ograbobulator, i doubt a design agency would use that, they will have their own ressources11:22
ograpayed maps 11:23
bobulatorhttp://www.wall-maps.com/World/PetersProjection-over.gif11:23
highvoltagecbx33: plan A is to blog about it, and generate a huge amount of comment and how bad it is :)11:23
bobulatoryeah i bet11:23
bobulatorcheck out the proportioans of continents like africa though, its crazy11:23
cbx33woohoooo11:24
cbx33highvoltage, I like your plan11:24
ograi think i eventually can live with it... its just sad that nobody heared and i find it extremly boring and bad colored11:24
Burgworkogra, backgrounds should be boring11:25
highvoltageplan B is breaking into every server where that is stored, including the design companies, and deleting it, making it look like it 'mysteriously dissapeared'11:25
bobulatoryou could argue on the grounds its a racist world map ;)11:25
cbx33Burgwork, in a way11:25
ograBurgwork, not in edubuntu11:25
HedgeMageogra: it's cute, and anything not-boring will offend some people :P  I do think it stinks that it wasn't community-created, though11:25
ograBurgwork, http://www.progbox.co.uk/edu22.jpg thrills me way more11:26
cbx33HedgeMage, totally11:26
cbx33ogra, it's still being worked on btw11:26
cbx33what about11:26
Burgworkogra, yes, but it is very busy, so not good for a default background, imho11:26
=== highvoltage loves that wallpaper (edu22.jpg) ... it's my wallpaper atm
cbx33in the blog, highvoltage , putting the chalk one and the edu2211:26
ogracbx33, it will still be the wallpaper for the young theme flavor ;)11:26
cbx33once it's been changed11:26
highvoltagecbx33: great idea!11:27
highvoltagecbx33: i'm interested to see your changes ;)11:27
bobulatorseriosuly tho guys, check the real size of countries > http://www.wall-maps.com/World/PetersProjection-over.gif11:27

bobulatorgiven ubuntu is supposed to be linux for everyone, you could at elast get them to use accurate maps ;)11:27
cbx33highvoltage, is tomorrow ok for the wallpaper changes?11:27
cbx33bobulator, we had no say in anything11:27
bobulatori know, im just stirring ;)11:27
HedgeMagebobulator: I've seen it, hence my reference to Big Block of Cheese Day11:27
ograHedgeMage, it was clear from the beginning that we would go with professional artwork for dapper, its just that we had no chance to take any influence11:28
cbx33bobulator, ~I know :p11:28
lucasvoogra: how was it with the ubuntu artwork?11:28
lucasvowhat does mark say?11:28
ograits marks decision i think11:28
ograeven all communication was proxied through silbs11:28
bobulatorcbx33: a few cans of double dutch (shitty uk beer) and i can'th elp it ;)11:29
ograubuntu artwork is also marks decision but constantly discussed on the ubuntu-art ML11:29
highvoltagecbx33: yep11:29

cbx33so far we have....11:32
cbx33slant the brickwork...and add more to the sidewalk11:32
cbx33thankyou ogra for those11:33
highvoltageif the wall could only start about 25% from the left hand side, that would be good11:34
highvoltagethen you can put some icons there (i mean, the user will, eventually)11:34
cbx33ok11:35
highvoltagei don't know what else you'll put there, though11:35
cbx33hmmm11:35
cbx33blue sky?11:35

highvoltageperhaps it can be the corner of something... i don't know, just a random suggestion :)11:35
cbx33some tramps kipping on a bench :p11:35
