[12:04] what would that look like in the menu? [12:05] it would cut down a normal users menu to the minimal set of default apps, plus the ones from the metapackage [12:05] so more or less a custom menu depending on what metapackage is installed? [12:05] probably based on the groups the user is assigned to [12:06] i'd depend on more criteria [12:06] i.e. groups *and* metapackages [12:06] oh, so also depending on what group the user is assigned to [12:06] so you can heve a subset for certain users [12:06] *have [12:07] heh, well hopefully all the work we put into getting .desktop files for science apps will help [12:07] it should all work xdg based indeed [12:09] so yes, the work on the .desktop files is essential :) [12:09] has Debian done anything to move that way? or are they content with the Debian menu system? [12:09] they are also leaning towards xdg [12:09] well, we put in ~ 40 .desktop files for science apps in Dapper [12:09] i think the debian menus will even move to xdg at some point [12:10] cool [12:11] it was annoying me that apps weren't showing up in the menu, they still aren't categorized very well (split somwhere between Education and Other) [12:13] what does the xdg spec say ? does it allow maths, physics, biology submenus ? [12:14] it is somewhat hard to figure out [12:14] it says that those are all valid Categories [12:14] but it suggests putting Education in also [12:14] fine then :) [12:14] but then you get the app in both menus [12:14] lets keep education for kdeedu :) [12:15] I agree [12:15] and put the non kdeedu apps in the right places [12:15] I've been pretty opposed to just dumping science apps in Education [12:15] with proper categories [12:15] yep [12:15] i dont like it either [12:15] I've got a gnome bug open about adding a Science menu :-) === superseth [n=smarinel@pcp021926pcs.dhcp.calpoly.edu] has joined #edubuntu [12:16] but seb128 said that it would go nowhere if I didn't have apps to fill it with [12:16] yep [12:16] so that's why I had MOTU Science go on the .desktop crusade :-) [12:16] but a science menu is as silly as an education menu [12:16] somewhat [12:16] lets just categorize them right [12:17] so like Chemistry, Biology, etc.? [12:17] or havea science menu with submenus, but thats somehow against the xdg spec [12:17] so yes, liek like Chemistry, Biology, etc. [12:18] hmm, but then that is sort of against the whole MenusRevisited thing [12:18] MenusRevisited only counts for the default desktop anyway [12:19] and i dont really care for edubuntu to be honest, out target audience is different [12:19] well, I agree for sure, but that is the line seb128 gave me when I asked about getting a Science menu [12:19] s/care for/care for it for/ [12:20] we have no science apps in the default install in ubuntu, as long as its xdg spec compliant, all should be fine [12:22] ogra, submenus are evil === JaneW [n=JaneW@dsl-165-202-116.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [12:22] especially for kids, who may not have a motor control [12:22] Burgwork, we dont talk about kids specifically [12:23] sure, but even I hate three levels of menus [12:23] and i already said that its against the spec in the same sentence :) [12:23] true, but then you said you didn;t care so much for the spec [12:23] nope [12:23] i said i dont care at all for MenusRevisited in edubuntu [12:23] ah [12:25] out seeds will differ more over time ... so our app selection wont be the same anymore [12:27] ogra: well, I'll be interested in this dynamic menus thing. I don't know how much help I'd be (I know a bit about the xdg specs) but I'd like to help if I can. [12:28] thats what i was hoping for ;) [12:28] unfortunately, I don't even really have a place to use ltsp so I feel rather useless to Edubuntu [12:29] LaserJock: neither do I, so I focus on other things [12:29] edubuntu is not only ltsp :) [12:30] let me care for ltsp, and you guys care for stuff i dont know ;) [12:30] ok [12:30] :-) [12:30] like uni stuff :) === ogra hasnt studied :) [12:30] well, if I could ever get the MS strangle hold off the deparment computer lab I'd have a chance to get ltsp [12:31] it would be perfect for Edubuntu [12:31] but I'm afraid that I wouldn't have a chance [12:31] just demo it one day :) [12:32] I was thinking about it. [12:34] right now it is just a bunch of individual (~10-15) computers that have Windows on them and some sort of image thing where when you reboot it wipes out all the changes [12:34] yep, i know these systems [12:34] actually i was asked to implement a dual boot mode into ltsp :) [12:35] so you could either boot ltsp or a windows image [12:36] but they are horrendously unstable [12:36] and they only have 1 or 2 proprietary apps for science [12:36] the suse based solution they wanted to replace was quite stable :) [12:36] Universe has a lot more, and for free [12:37] but it was a proprietary app developed on top of a suse [12:38] so right now it is used basically for web surfing and email for the students in the department. I think it could be a whole lot more with Edubuntu and it could be a lot more efficient with ltsp [12:38] at least it could also be used for sufing and mail with edubuntu ;) [12:38] but... I'd have to convince the people in charge and the students wouldn't like not having MS I don't think [12:39] LaserJock: honestly, if it's anything like the uni I went to, if it has all thier favorite goofing off tools, they'll adjust quickly (but with much whining) [12:40] perhaps, they do all their IMing and crap and the deparment complains that it isn't being used effectively as a learning tool [12:40] lol :) [12:41] IM is a valuable collaboration tool :P [12:41] (or so I told the ta who caught me doing it in class) [12:41] heh [12:46] well, I'm pretty excited about Ubuntu in the sciences [12:46] in my department the only use right now for Linux is for servers and computational clusters [12:47] nobody uses Linux for desktop use === |ZuZuu| [n=ZuZubunt@AVelizy-154-1-40-136.w82-124.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #edubuntu [12:47] I think Ubuntu makes a great desktop platform for scientists [12:47] LaserJock: at my uni we had 0 linux machines, 1 solaris machine, 1 ux machine, and a lot of windoze :( [12:49] we have probably 4 computational clusters (mostly running SuSe) and Windows, and quite a few macs [12:49] the macs are a compromise for the people who used to run Linux [12:49] lol [12:50] *g* [12:50] my group used to be exclusively Linux run (we had about 5 computers) and now we have 4 imacs and 1 debian box for data collection [12:50] in my department Linux is totally losing out to macs :( [12:51] awww [12:51] but it is because they only now Linux of 5 years ago. They have no clue about desktop Linux [12:51] and certainly not Ubuntu [12:52] which I guess is my fault in a way [12:52] but they are so resistent to change and macs are the new status symbol === HedgeMage puts Linux and Ubuntu and Edubuntu stickers all over LaserJock and sends him to work like that [12:52] hehe, thanks HedgeMage [12:53] ;) any time [12:53] I went to the Americal Chemical Society national meeting (~20,000 chemists) and I would guess that 90% of the laptops I saw were macs [12:53] just run ubuntu at work, their curiosity is your friend ;) [12:53] ogra: my Ubuntu box got replaces with an iMac [12:54] :( [12:54] about time we support the intel macs then :) [12:54] yes [12:54] eft will, pretty sure [12:54] I'm scrounging around the lab looking for any box I can put Ubuntu on [12:55] luckly a post doc left and I think I can wipe one of his computers :-) [12:55] heh [12:55] but there is the big sterotype of Linux is only for servers [12:55] yep [12:56] for terminal servers ;) [12:56] and desktop servers. [12:56] but I was able to do calculations on my Ubuntu box using ghemical when my collegues where using $2000 programs on the computational clusters [12:57] and then I had all the tools to deal with the data (some python scripting, gnuplot, LaTeX, etc.) [12:57] all on the same computer [12:58] It was way easier to set up our new color printer in Ubuntu than in Windows even [12:59] argg, it just irritates me that they still insist on using an inferior product and are happy to pay thousands of dollars for it >:/ [12:59] pardon the off-topic-ness, but does anyone in here use jabber, and if so, what server(s) ? [12:59] jabber.org === HedgeMage nods [01:00] I'm wondering which other ones are big... [01:00] LaserJock, in my last company i worked 1 year as so called "expert informationmanagement" (that silly crap fits on no business card), i had a dual xeon desktop machine with 2 500GB scis disks, running a local mysql copy of the companys orcale database [01:01] jabber.org seems to go down a lot, or at least my connection to it does... my new web host gives me my own jabber server(s) and peers to gtalk and one or two other places, but I want to get them to peer more... I already asked for jabber.org but am wondering if there are others I should request. [01:03] the thing for me is that we are almost never using computers in our classes here. Ubuntu + ghemical alone could revolutionize teaching in my department [01:03] really? computers are used all the time here [01:04] crimsun: the chemistry department hasn't figured out how to do it right, at all. [01:04] for undergrads, there is one lab they do on the computers (in the nasty computer lab) and it is really a mess [01:05] for grads, there is only 1 class that uses the computational clusters to do some fun stuff [01:05] wow. [01:05] wow [01:06] at unc we used windows programs fairly regularly from freshman chem through pchem [01:06] but students have hardly any time to work on them because they have to check out the software from the library [01:06] and use them in the computer lab [01:06] which is always a mess [01:08] the physics department does have a computer lab that is freebsd I think [01:08] but they don't really let anybody in there [01:08] heh, that's how we were in the cs dept ;) [01:09] all the chem profs here, when I ask about using computers in teaching, pretty much say that is doesn't work and students don't get anything out of it [01:10] but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that the students don't have ready access to any scientific apps [01:12] anyway for a bit :-) [01:16] New revalation: talked to the jabber folks, it seems that manual peering isn't neccessary... unless it's blocked all jabber servers should be able to talk to one another...

[11:40] and give a little poke in the right direction from time to time [11:41] a lightweight app will surely be useful [11:41] its just an offer, as i said i dont see the urgent need for the program the student sees, but its a nice to have [11:41] and he has goals already [11:41] and i expect it to be an easy mentorship ...

[02:18] no upgrades at all. been running about 3 weeks without reboot [02:19] hmmm [02:19] cbx33: nope. no keynoard, no mouse, and no video [02:19] tried the old alt+sysRq+1? [02:19] cbx33: can't. no keyboard [02:19] oh yeh === cbx33 nags his head against the wall [02:19] ogra:is there any plan to include the latest version of ltsp (0.20) to edubuntu ? [02:19] cbx33: it was a little server === B4zzA [n=chevron_@l2-202-89-183-106.arach.net.au] has joined #edubuntu [02:19] I'm having like the worst day ever [02:20] linubuntu, 0.20 ? [02:20] cbx33: can't be that bad [02:20] got a splitting headache [02:20] linubuntu, ogra@edubuntu:~$ apt-cache showsrc ltsp|grep Version [02:20] Version: 0.86 [02:20] kids keep shouting out f***ing tw*t in my direction [02:20] they also keep vandalising the machines [02:21] linubuntu, ltsp is developed *in* edubuntu, we'll always use the latest version ;) [02:21] take a look on ltsp.org please [02:21] we dont use ltsp.org at all [02:21] we're special [02:21] and the ltsp.org version should be at 4.2 currently [02:21] linubuntu: we *are* ltsp version 2 [02:22] linubuntu: this is were all the new ltsp features are tested and proven [02:22] linubuntu, read up about muecow on ltsp.org, thats what we develoip and use in ubuntu/edubuntu [02:22] s/were/where [02:22] ok guys i understand now [02:22] :D [02:22] newer debian version use our implementation as well [02:22] *versions [02:23] cos it's just...better :p [02:23] lets say its different :) [02:23] my apologies === cbx33 kerbs the edubuntu eliteism [02:23] ltsp.org ltsp still boots faster due to a way smaller kernel and has local devuice support we dont have yet [02:24] ltsp was pretty fast today [02:24] tried out the lab again with YouthLUG [02:24] but its totally lacking our hardware autodetection and requires a *lot* of post install work [02:24] they loved it [02:24] while ours runs out of the boix on nearly *any* HW [02:24] cause i will use edubuntu for my internet caffe it it possible ? [02:24] sure [02:24] linubuntu: nice [02:25] just try stay away from M$ :) [02:25] linubuntu, as i said, we're lacking two things, the fast boot (we boot in ~30 seconds while ltsp.org does it in ~15) [02:25] and the local device support [02:25] 15 seconds is pretty fast [02:25] can our kernel get smaller? [02:26] pfft. my post takes longer then that [02:26] unbeatable if you do hw detection and X autoconfiguration at bootime [02:26] right [02:26] our kernel will probably get smaller [02:26] is local apps planned for edgy? [02:26] ogra: we build with -Os yet ? [02:26] simply because they will drop 386 support for the default kernel in the future [02:26] excellent [02:26] so we'll get our own kernel package at some point [02:27] for 20 thin client the best specs of server ? [02:27] linubuntu: what apps do you plan to run ? [02:27] linubuntu, 256M for the server and ~120M for each client if you run gnome [02:27] i had 5 clients running mostly firefox today on a D600 laptop [02:28] that can go down to 64M per client if you run xfce ... [02:28] the clients themselves should at least have ~200MHz and ~64MB [02:29] ogra: what's planned for ltsp for edgy? - localdevice support? local apps? [02:29] localdev support, ltsp manager [02:29] dual core on the server won't hurt either if you expect lots of simultaneous use [02:29] all other things are whislist items [02:29] any plan to include local media on dapper ? [02:29] i took another look at ltsp manager today [02:29] simply because we only have 4 months this time [02:30] yeh [02:30] linubuntu, ltspfs and ltspfsd are packaged, but not integrated in dapper [02:30] well u know I'm in all the way, anything I can do...why do you think I'm learning python [02:30] you need to use the ltsp.org scripts additionally and set it up manually [02:31] its the number one feature for edgy though [02:31] cbx33, ltsp currently has not much python code [02:31] its nearly all shell [02:31] the manager does [02:31] so it means possible to enable local media on dapper/breezy ? [02:31] yes [02:31] but a good amount of work [02:32] where abouts is s-c-p now? [02:32] thats what my client wants :) [02:32] its in the archive :) [02:32] i never tried it, but there is a deb on ltsp.org supposed to work on ubuntu [02:33] I had an administrative solution to that problem. I decreed that there shall be no local media and if you don't like it tough shit. >:) [02:33] dunno if anyone ever tested it with ubuntu ltsp [02:33] heh [02:33] cbx33: I can make the BOFH look like a wuss [02:34] heheh [02:34] can ltsp-utils from ltsp.org can be instaled on ubuntu without any problems ? [02:35] I'll let Yagisan handle this one :p [02:35] linubuntu: no. we call that "break my ubuntu and make the children cry" === cbx33 whoops with laughter [02:36] woops [02:36] BMUAMTCC [02:41] https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuEgdyLTSPFeatureIdeas [02:41] in case anyone wants to comment or add stuff === ulinskie [n=mabelle1@203.215.95.133] has joined #edubuntu [02:50] how can I make a signature in the wiki? [02:52] lucasvo, that wont work [02:53] (running mythtv client/server through the net [02:53] ) [02:53] it will have the same effect as trying to watch a vide on LTSP at the moment ... [02:53] (rather a slideshow than a movie) [02:54] :( [02:54] well, isn't it supposed to be like this? [02:54] maybe make both available [02:55] the one is implementable in 1h, the other will take several weeks and need tweaks to the mythtv package [02:55] ok [02:55] than for edgy+1 [02:55] :) [02:56] cool would be a bootmanager like grub so one can say which image one wants to load. [02:56] for e.g. cluster, mediacenter, edubuntu [02:56] i dont think you'll hava any advantage by running it client/server based [02:56] ogra: except that you don't need a tv card in every client you want to use [02:56] lucasvo: you can do that already [02:56] cbx33: cool [02:56] the booting thing [02:56] but thats the purpose :) [02:56] hang on [02:56] maybe even providing a backup-image [02:57] https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/LTSPMultiboot [02:57] and the booting stuff is just a question of tweaking the pxe config [02:57] which can make iso's of all the whole disk [02:57] thats nothin we can have in edgy (dont forget we only have 2 months of devel time) [02:57] ogra: of course [02:58] I mean in general [02:58] i need to pick the most important pieces from that list [02:58] for edgy(+1/2) [02:58] ogra: i may start work on a pxelinux config utility [02:58] ogra: what do you think about bug #34118? [02:58] and the low hanging fruits, like the kisok thing or mythtv stuff [02:58] kiosk? for internet cafe? [02:59] lucasvo, yes, thats fine to fix in edgy... its a bug, i'd fix it anyway [02:59] see the list [02:59] which list? [02:59] point 4 there [02:59] ogra: do you think a pxelinux config utility would be helpful? [03:00] cbx33, a gui frontend for ltsp-update-kernels that we can easily integrate into LTSPManager would be cool :) [03:00] hmmm. [03:00] I'll see what I can do [03:00] i.e. something that lets you select if you want to use etherboot or pxe ... and probably also generates a rom-o-matic image for you with working default settings [03:01] I'll probably work on a pxelinux config util as my first step [03:01] lucasvo, the feature list we're discussing since 10 min here === B4zzA [n=chevron_@l2-202-89-183-209.arach.net.au] has joined #edubuntu [03:12] um. we can build etherboot images from rom-o-matic that do the full pxe stuff [03:13] yep [03:13] but we cant do it on a single mouseclick from a desktop gui yet ;) [03:13] would be cool to just have a list of nics you select from, click generate and the iso appears on your desktop [03:14] Meep! ?anybody know how to make XTERM keep window-title and not have it changed by login script etc. ? ;-) [03:14] ogra: that would be cool [03:15] ogra: so, we are bookmarking the rom-o-matic homepage then ? [03:16] why ? [03:16] i'd just generate the right query to download the iso ;) [03:16] indeed [03:16] you wont have to bother with rom-o-matic or a browser at all :) [03:17] yes [03:17] just select your NIc, probably have a checkbox to select between floppy and CD image and a generate button ... do the rest by magic :) === ryan_rousseau [n=rousseau@204.90.50.252] has joined #edubuntu [03:18] cbx33, but beware, urllib2 programming is a rather advanced task ;) [03:18] (you'll need that for web stuff) [03:18] hey ryan_rousseau === cbx33 can handle advanced [03:19] :p [03:19] hello ;) === neurogeek [n=neurogee@201.248.239.219] has joined #edubuntu [03:19] i hope === jinty [n=jinty@69.Red-83-49-55.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [03:24] JaneW, i think you can assign the quizzling SoC to jsgotangco, he clearly expressed he'd take it [03:25] quizzling?

I'm sure my request is probably a bit different to the usual. [05:15] lol what is there for me to comment on SoC a lot of them have -2 already [05:16] yeah, we're trying to find a more efficient way of doing them [05:16] the curren method has too much manual stuff and it gets slow [05:17] I'd apply for SoC, but I don't think google would consider my business a suitable educational facility, nor myself as a student [05:18] at least I'm in the right age group though [05:21] lol :) === ryan_rousseau [n=rousseau@204.90.50.252] has joined #edubuntu [05:27] its fun looking at the proposals though [05:27] everyone has a great idea flowing in [05:29] well [05:29] i wouldnt say everyone :) [05:30] im just being optimistic [05:30] :) [05:32] hehe === Yagisan sees some nice ideas for ltsp in edgy. ogra, which is your priority for edgy ? [05:34] i posted my todo list proposal some hours ago [05:34] ogra: that's what I'm reading [05:34] oh, i thought you meant SoC :) [05:34] ogra: I like the swap server [05:34] the top 4 should get in anyway [05:34] the rest is nice to have stuff [05:35] i.e. the kiosk mode is written in an afternoon (low hanging fruit) [05:35] ogra: swap, ldm, thick client would be my top 3 want to have [05:35] ogra: media could be extended for me though [05:35] thick client is a bit more tricky [05:36] you'll need to determine which directorys you need writable, set that up etc ... [05:36] ogra: I know, but imagine using all those node for transcode & dvdrip ;) === ogra cant imagine [05:36] ogra: its sad though, i'm sure people who receive -1 and -2 are probably upset already === jsgotangco seen a -12 too === ogra doesnt use either :) === Bluekuja [n=andrea@ubuntu/member/bluekuja] has joined #edubuntu [05:37] jsgotangco, Yagisan talks about https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuEgdyLTSPFeatureIdeas === Yagisan wishes mencoder could be used instead of transcode [05:37] ahhh [05:37] jsgotangco: looking at what I get to use (hopefully soon) [05:38] mythtv??? [05:38] jsgotangco: I belive that is playback only === Yagisan wants opengl on my clients [05:39] but purely because I like to play doom [05:39] with models, and high-res textures, and shiny particle effects etc [05:40] not in a pixelated 320x240 box, like some other versions [05:41] actually. It would be nice if someone could revive http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/ [05:41] :) [05:41] mythtv isnt playback only [05:42] you can use it as a recorder as well [05:42] yes but won't something like vlc more lightweight? [05:42] ogra: I think the client was playback only [05:43] why ? [05:43] if i use it as a TV replacement, i want to be able to record as well [05:43] so nfs mounting a directory from the server and recoding to that should be doable [05:43] mythtv should be recording on the server [05:44] argh - my bandwidth [05:44] ogra: you'll get frame drops [05:44] you'd need a beefy thin client to compress well on the fly [05:45] brb [05:45] what for ? [05:45] once the app is running, its all in memory, the bandwith should be free [05:46] ogra: dumping what you record to the nfs folder you are writing to [05:46] yes [05:46] but there is nothing else using the bandwith [05:46] i find this strangely appealing though [05:46] back :) [05:46] ogra: 720*576x24 @ 25fps is a fair amount of data [05:46] neither would i suspect to run 50 mythtv clients to watch TV === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu [05:47] anyway, that will need tests etc first [05:47] ogra: thats about 4GB/hr with mjpeg and adpcm === Yagisan often records from tv [05:48] but i'm not fond of running an additional server part, i'd rather drop/postpone it then if it produces too much work === Yagisan would like http://psdoom.sourceforge.net/ss1.html as the default process monitor ;) [05:48] i.e. switching to a tvtime implementation without recording for the beginning [05:49] yep. actually, running mencoder locally lets you record [05:49] thats' what I use [05:49] its just to show the advantage of a diskless client as media center [05:50] if people like it, we can extend it ... [05:50] bling feater? [05:50] feature [05:50] ogra: we like it. [05:51] jsgotangco: I call it "productivity enhancement" [05:51] yeah, bling feature [05:52] but even for schools an intresting feature i think :) [05:52] ogra: i might not make it to 20:00 that's 4am on my side its almost midnight here already :) [05:52] jsgotangco, fine, dont worry [05:52] i'll catch up the next 20UTC meeting though and sleep early [05:52] its not an EC meeting [05:52] did you upload the doc and ff page already? [05:53] and even if it were, we'd have enough EC members to process new memberships [05:53] nope [05:53] its in the artwork package, i'm waiting for a go from silbs to include the new wallpaper === Yagisan needs to go to bed [05:53] night all [05:54] ok [05:56] who is Mario Danic?

[06:15] https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuMeetingAgenda [06:15] its in 4h [06:16] * Agenda: http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuWiki [06:16] that's wrong [06:16] (from fridge) [06:16] ogra, anyways, besides the OOO incident (at workstations, at least) and the IRC thing, so far edubuntu is kicking asses here [06:16] so far, 4 teachers have seen it and they have loved it [06:16] mhz: you are at a show? [06:16] goodnight [06:16] tonight, my daughter (almost 5 years old now) will try Gcompris and GNOME (she used to use Wmaker) [06:16] ciao [06:17] lucasvo, not yet, but I'll be in one, the 1st and 2nd of June [06:17] lucasvo, fixed [06:18] good [06:18] and btw, how is one supposed to login in the wiki? [06:18] And, I installed dapper in a nice server with 6 clients (mini lab I can use 3 days a week to give Edubuntu a try and show off) [06:18] I can't find any url [06:18] LP [06:18] ogra: but is there a link on every page to UserPreferences? [06:18] lucasvo, you gotta use your LP email and password [06:18] of course [06:19] but I'd prefer not having to manually type in the address https://wiki.edubuntu.org/UserPreferences [06:19] isn't there a link on the wiki homepage [06:19] i dont understand what you mena [06:19] *mean [06:20] in the user preferences page you set your wiki oreferences [06:20] *preferences [06:20] ogra: but you need to login on that page as well [06:20] or is there another place? [06:20] you dont need to log in there [06:20] at least i dont [06:20] yeah, well I do [06:20] because I rarely edit in the wiki [06:21] if i logged in the first time, LP set a cookie [06:21] hm [06:21] hi alexandros_se. i saw her online briefly on jabber yesterday. [06:21] so i never ever logged in again after my first time [06:21] hey mhz! any news? [06:21] lucasvo, ahhh, the Login is at wiki.edubuntu.org, iirc [06:22] highvoltage, hey mon! [06:22] yeah! [06:22] ya mon! [06:22] from jamaica town we are! [06:22] I am sending an email to you all (international) about it [06:22] excellent [06:22] ya, we're jummin' [06:23] jummin' til the mornin' light [06:23] lol [06:23] indeed [06:23] all geeks do === highvoltage is not a geek === lucasvo 21 [06:24] ups [06:24] highvoltage, of course, once you are here... you gotta be "undercover" so you won't make all girls fall for you [06:24] heh :) === lucasvo notices /me != /w :0 [06:24] girls don't like me anyway [06:24] they do... at least the one in primary school :D [06:24] highvoltage, thats just because you dont hold talks [06:25] else they'd hunt you down for autographs :) [06:25] ogra: i've held talks before :) [06:25] indeed === edubuntugirl [n=edubuntu@mtngprs4.mtn.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [06:25] lol!!! [06:25] i've been hunted down by a group of radio amatuers once after giving a talk about linux there. that was the quickest fans i ever got [06:25] highvoltage, but not like sabdfl whi stripped on stage at the linuxtag ;) [06:25] highvoltage, you got support now? [06:26] but i'm not a geek because i don't do dungeons and dragons, and i don't play rpg games. [06:26] s/whi/who/ [06:26] ogra: that would indeed make me very unpopular :) [06:26] mhz: support? [06:26] mhz: in what context? [06:26] he gained a lot of laughs :) [06:26] shame man. [06:27] highvoltage, edubuntu girl showed up just right after you said "they dont like me" [06:27] it's terrible when you take your clothes off and people laugh at you. did they point too? [06:27] i'm sure she likes me === edubuntugirl doesn't like highvoltage [06:27] lol [06:27] hrm [06:27] highvoltage, yes, at the KDE t-shirt he wore below :) [06:27] ogra, BTW.... [06:28] remember NOKIA thing? [06:28] ogra: lol! [06:28] NOKIA thing? [06:28] mhz, yup [06:29] ogra, re dapper.. at booting from CD time, F5 provides an a11y menu... Is that supposed to work really? or not yet? [06:29] no idea, i never tried it :) [06:30] but you could ask on the a11y ML :) [06:30] ogra, nokia/ we have been asked to write down a 2 pages letter specifying what applications we'll be making work on mobile devices.. Could ya give us a hand? [06:31] mhz, bad time currently, i'm pretty swamped in prerelease work [06:31] but sure i can answer questions === mhz has been connecting via LiveCD last couple of weeks, BTW. So I have no logs, no same interaction speed [06:31] ogra, okis, I'll send some tomorrow [06:31] thx [06:32] highvoltage, yeah, NOKIA rep. was here 2 weeks ago and we asked them to provide funding for FET 2006 [06:32] highvoltage, they were not very convinced when we had to explain what "free technology" meant [06:33] highvoltage, so, we told them we would to love to use mobile devices for edu-apps and environements [06:33] highvoltage, that means... "ok, send us a document and we may consider it" [06:34] highvoltage, clear enough? :D [06:37] mhz: funny that you should explain the them what it means, since Nokia has an OSI approved license :) [06:37] ohhh, BTW, any good KISS app. for sending/receiving faxes? [06:37] learning vocab on your cell phone? === mhz tried eFax-GTK but works with PS files only [06:37] mhz: minicom? ^^ [06:38] highvoltage, yeah, Representatives not necessarily know about OSI stuff, I guess [06:38] mitsuhiko, hehehe [06:38] yeah, very KISS ,) [06:38] it's very basic (simple) and stupid to use [06:39] KISS compilant :) [06:39] I would ask a thin client producer for sponsorship [06:39] lucasvo, yeah... in Chile? [06:39] none [06:39] mhz: well, there are a lot of internationl companies [06:39] HP has not even answered our emails [06:39] http://www.rangee.com/en/index.php [06:39] they have ad's in german linuxmagazin [06:39] :)_ [06:40] but really sloooow hardware [06:40] the thing is that in Chile, we have more "representatives" instead of "offices" [06:40] lucasvo, for exapmle... SuSe Chile is just 2 or 3 guys [06:40] same guys who represent Oracle [06:41] Microsoft has a real office here and has just offered about 6.7 millions to support ICT development here in Chile [06:41] :D [06:42] of course, we are not asking them for funds for this FET 2006 [06:42] and not for any FET [06:42] ogra, not all thinclients from rangee are slow [06:42] ogra, only the thinclient who has the cytrix grafikchip [06:42] no, only the ones *i* own indeed :) [06:43] hehe [06:46] ogra: i don't know exactly how to say this... [06:47] ogra: but i think the edubuntu world is really, really lucky to have you where you are. [06:47] ogra: i don't think we could have asked for someone more rational, logical, and dedicated :) [06:48] hehe, indeed! [06:48] +1 [06:49] highvoltage, oh, wow, thanks a lot for such a praise === ogra blushes [06:49] sorry :) [06:49] but i mean it. [06:49] ogra is like "papa schlumpf" [06:49] papa schlumpf? [06:49] what is that? [06:50] like papa smurf? [06:50] moment i am searching for a picture [06:50] literally: daddy smurf [06:50] ah :) [06:50] i'm not that beardy :) [06:50] http://images.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http://www.serienoldies.de/images/schluempfe-papa1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.serienoldies.de/main/serie_detail.php%3Fid%3D212&h=467&w=581&sz=26&tbnid=uo3R-83Ah50iKM:&tbnh=106&tbnw=132&hl=de&start=5&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpapa%2Bschlumpf%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG [06:50] so then the fight is between JaneW, HedgeMage and edubuntugirl for the girl smurf? [06:50] oh bad url [06:51] smurf? [06:51] JaneW: you know, little blue people that live in mushrooms [06:51] of course [06:51] I loved them [06:51] JaneW, and ogra is daddy smurf [06:51] had several figurines [06:52] heh [06:52] my girl one was boring, she didn't have accessories [06:52] I liked the ones with extra bits [06:52] and no I don;t mean THAT! [06:52] JaneW: hehe, that sounds weird :) [06:52] haha [06:53] what kind of accessories would you want for her? leather straps? whips? === highvoltage ducks === edubuntugirl slaps highvoltage [06:53] JaneW, bah, we'll get the most boring splashscreen from the set [06:53] ouch. didn't see that coming [06:53] i just got the final artwork mailed [06:53] ogra: yeah I seem to have it too... looking [06:54] ogra: is that the berlin wall wallpaper? [06:54] a cold blueish grey splash on a dark green chalkboard === JaneW mutters about chalk boards [06:54] highvoltage, nope, the one i used in my talk [06:54] lol... daddy smurf! === mhz was away [06:54] ogra: let's shut the edubuntu.org site down as a protest ;-) === jinty [n=jinty@13.Red-83-50-220.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [06:55] highvoltage: LOL when I was a little kid and wandering by my dad's pool table, he'd put the blue chalk on my nose and call me a smurf :P [06:55] like kubuntu :) [06:55] no idea why I remember that. [06:55] eeesh, i forgot to download that at work. i have a link in my ff toolbox, too big to download at home atm :/ [06:55] i guess we'll keep the red and orange in the gtk theme, to have at least *one* warm area [06:55] highvoltage, and... hmmm, smurf girl? jane? [06:55] HedgeMage: :) [06:55] I recall having a conversation with one friend of mine about how come Smurfs were so many and just 1 girl! [06:56] highvoltage: I am more likie piepie langkous (are you old enough to remeber that?) [06:56] JaneW: apparently not [06:56] highvoltage, oh, nice style for Drupal! [06:56] likie=like [06:56] mhz: it isn't "Smurf Girl" it's "smurfette" :P [06:56] HedgeMage: that's it! [06:56] mhz: purely by accident. our actual theme isn't compatible with drupal 4.7 [06:56] hah [06:56] oh, I used to wathc them in Spanish so... for us, it was Pitufina === HedgeMage wonders how smurfs reproduce since the only female is smurfette and she isn't really a smurf [06:57] mhz: ironically, we've only had good feedback with the very basic theme [06:57] ok I am going [06:57] meeting at 20:00 UTC [06:57] bye [06:57] yep [06:57] highvoltage, hehehe, so typical... :D [06:57] HedgeMage: she's not really a smurf? [06:57] highvoltage: nope [06:57] ogra, today 20 UTC?? [06:57] she has a name you know [06:57] yep [06:58] grrrr [06:58] it's smurfette [06:58] hehehe [06:58] highvoltage: the bad guy constructed her in his lab to tempt and infiltrate the other smurfs, except she turned good and his plan went awry [06:58] mhz, in 3h === mhz sighs [06:58] edubuntugirl: you're a day late and a dollar short, I already said that :P [06:58] HedgeMage: sorry... [06:58] mhz, especially for our american friends :) [06:58] aaah, i vaguely remember now :) [06:58] edubuntugirl: just picking on you :P [06:58] HedgeMage: sorry... [06:58] ogra, I thought so [06:58] like chile and the like ;) [06:59] yay! [06:59] 20 UTC is my most busy hour :( === mhz prefered 10 UTC :) [06:59] ok, cheers guys, i need to help my mother with some stuff, will probably pop in again later :) [07:00] 20 UTC is 16 UTC === mhz gotta exit === pygi [n=korisnik@HOTEL-OMORIKA.net.t-com.hr] has joined #edubuntu === arkan0x [n=arkan0x@201.215.87.19] has joined #edubuntu === secondhand_budda [n=robin@dsl-145-105-65.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [07:29] Hi. do you know where I can get some support for edubuntu dapper?

I need to run mysql 4.1, but synaptic will only install 5. I attempted to get it from the universe, but the install script failed [07:31] hi === ogra does bite but waers his muzzle during that time of day usually [07:32] :) [07:32] mysql 5 doesnt work for you ? [07:32] note that 4.1 will likely die soon === alexandros_se [n=alex@2-1-1-18a.spa.sth.bostream.se] has joined #edubuntu [07:33] no. I have a few apps that use componets for 4 and have not been updated to 5 yet. will have to rewrite big portions of the apps to make it work that way [07:35] since mysql isnt really edubuntu specific, i'd like to point you to a guy called infinity in #ubuntu-devel, he might be able to help you (he's our no.1 mysql maintainer) [07:35] thanks ogra [07:35] have fun ... [07:35] :) [07:36] Good job ogra :) [07:36] if you have more edubuntu specific questions, dont haslle to ask :) [07:36] *hassle [07:36] ogra: ummm... mind if I ask if you're a native english speaker (or perhaps that was britspeak?) [07:36] HedgeMage, i'm german :) [07:37] (In american English, "don't hassle to ask" means "don't ask, you'll be bothering me") [07:37] oh === ogra didnt know [07:37] i meant the opposite indeed [07:38] i was a bit distracted because someone just sent me that shocking pic: http://www.rjek.com/hasselhoffian-recursion.gif [07:38] I know you did [07:38] I just didn't know if you knew that wording might be easily misinterpreted === HedgeMage looks [07:38] dont !

[09:40] Burgwork, here for the meeting ? [09:40] ogra, meeting? [09:40] 20:00 [09:40] edubuntu meeting [09:40] ah, sure [09:40] 20 mins [09:40] working, so in and out [09:40] ogra, thanks for the link. It looks promising, but I guess I should preface this that I have "newer" imacs (indigo vintage) booting, but startx fails. Everything I've found says I need the XF86config.indigo file, but I can't find that. Is that included in the standalone? [09:40] the first one for all you americans :) [09:41] ogra, I am a Canadian... [09:41] Burgwork, thats a part of the american continent, no ? === Burgwork grumbles [09:41] ogra: hehe, don't start a flame ware ;-) [09:41] hehe [09:41] :p [09:42] elliot_, ubuntu ltsp uses the autodetection we also use on the live CD === cbx33 seperates Burgwork and ogra [09:42] so if a ubuntu/edubuntu liveCD works, you can be sure ltsp will as well [09:42] Burgwork, you know its the point of view ... [09:43] from our small continent yours looks just to big :) [09:44] ogra, thanks, I'll try the link and get back to you if it doesn't fix the issue. [09:44] ogra, in common language, an American is a citizen of the USA [09:44] it is not a title applied to Canadians or Mexicans [09:44] hmm, what is a european then ? [09:45] those other people across the ocean ;-) [09:45] hehe [09:48] is this edubuntu meetin on fridge? i can't see it there [09:48] it should be, there was discussion about it [09:48] highvoltage, must be, my local evo calendar is updated from the fridge and shows it [09:49] even with the right time [09:49] ah, i see it, i looked at the wrong date. d'oh! [09:49] :) [09:49] the blue day is the current one ;) [09:49] cheeky [09:50] seriously, i looked at everything except the blue day. weird. :) [09:54] meeting in here or -meeting?

[09:56] sometimes multiple times before a logon can procede [09:56] cbx33: No, the server ip stays the same, its static [09:58] is there some sort of trust betwwn the client IPs and the server? [09:58] getting kind of cold in my room... [09:58] the clients are dhcp === highvoltage switches on 2 more computers [09:58] Petaris, you are the only person reporting that [09:59] highvoltage: Just buy a p4 3.6 :) [09:59] Petaris, and sorry, but we have the edubuntu meeting now in #ubuntu-meeting [09:59] Petaris: :) [09:59] would be interesting to know what causes Petaris's problem [09:59] its ok, I have to leave very soon [09:59] but I will drop by tomarrow [10:09] I'm off [10:09] later === edubuntugirl gets the shivers [10:10] feels like someone walked over my grave === elliot_ [n=elliot@c-71-192-101-120.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has left #edubuntu [] [10:16] edubuntugirl: don't worry, we still love you!

[10:39] ah, edubuntu school advocacy, d'oh! [10:39] european space agency [10:40] :) [10:44] is it true that there are bugs running around in these rooms? i heard a rumour that someone in a channel next door was hiding from the bugs. [10:46] edubuntugirl: yes. shocking, but true :/ [10:46] LaserJock: I'm not following you... [10:46] edubuntugirl: it happens [10:46] LaserJock: huh? [10:46] little dense today, isn't she ;-) [10:46] LaserJock: sorry :( [10:46] ogra, http://www.flickr.com/photos/jriddell/142123542/ from your talk in wiesbaden [10:48] JaneW, pm quick? === juliux_ is now known as juliux [11:03] JaneW, I agree on that [11:04] right I'm off fo a few minutes [11:04] cbx33: edubuntu homies should be edubuntu crew :P [11:04] ping me if anyone needs anything [11:04] Amaranth, hehe === ogra proposes gang :) [11:05] heh [11:05] crew is the new gang [11:06] thanks cbx33 [11:06] hi edubuntugirl [11:06] sup, JaneW! === JaneW hugs edubuntugirl === edubuntugirl hugs JaneW === ogra also wants a hug === edubuntugirl hugs ogra [11:06] maybe we should work the schedule out a bit more. [11:06] JaneW, what for? === ogra hugs edubuntugirl [11:07] ogra: that's enough now [11:07] LaserJock, which schedule ? [11:07] edubuntugirl, hey, i only hugged back :) [11:07] ogra: excuse me? [11:07] ogra: for meetings, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/MeetingTimes for example [11:07] hehe [11:08] goodnight :) [11:08] urgh [11:08] whats that ? [11:08] that's what we say when we can't stay up anymore [11:08] and when we say things that odn't make sense anymore [11:08] highvoltage, i meant that horrible table on the page above [11:08] adn we have to kee p out eylids open with figners [11:09] highvoltage: ditto [11:09] highvoltage: not true [11:09] i say "more caffeine" [11:09] yeah [11:09] I really don;t think I can face a call with mdz now [11:09] caffeine++ [11:09] do I have to do it now? [11:09] ogra: everybody puts a -1 for hours that are no good, 0 for so-so, and 1 for hours that are good [11:09] JaneW, mdz is here, ask him :) [11:09] but whatever you do, no matter what people might tell you, do not slam a 6 pack of red bull [11:10] ogra: and then you can easily add up the colums and see what hours are the best for everybody [11:10] ogra: I am so tired [11:10] hi mdz :) [11:10] Amaranth: yikes [11:10] i couldn't type very well [11:10] LaserJock, we're only 5 ppl in the council and for the community we specially make the rotating two dates [11:10] twitchy [11:10] cbx33: I was saying thanks for all your work on the BETT proposal, sorry if that wasn't clear [11:10] i dont think we need to change that for now [11:11] ogra: yes, but I was wondering if the 2 times we go back and forth on are ok [11:11] JaneW, np [11:11] LaserJock, they are ok for JaneW, thats important ... [11:11] hehe, I see ;-) [11:11] :) [11:11] LaserJock: do they not suit you? [11:11] she's our management [11:12] we can certainly negotiate [11:12] BUT I will take a LOT of convincing to accept another 4am meeting slot [11:12] one is more than enough [11:12] JaneW: the early one is 0500 for me, which is ~3-4 hrs before I usually get up. It isn't a big problem because I'm not that significant ;-) [11:12] we could do 5am directly afterwards ;) [11:12] I did mail the fridge with our new times, so that should have been updated now [11:12] ogra: great idea! [11:13] N*O*T === HedgeMage reminds everyone that she's GMT-8 And will only attend meetings that don't involve being awake between 1am and 7am local time... but understands she won't make every meeting all the time due to time zones [11:13] LaserJock, no need to attend every meeting :) [11:13] although I am notmally pretty awake at that time === arkan0x [n=arkan0x@pc-19-87-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #edubuntu [11:13] HedgeMage: condolences [11:13] HedgeMage, exactly thats why we have had our first 20:00 UTC meeting today ;) [11:13] HedgeMage: I'm -8 as well ;-) [11:13] ogra: and I love ya all for it :) [11:13] at least we have many people on the same or sim tz to me, so I can be more adamant about it :) [11:14] to cover people like you, LaserJock and Amaranth [11:14] JaneW: LOL on my time zone or my sleeping habits? [11:14] right, I just wondered if moving the early one up an hour would help a lot of people or no [11:14] -5 [11:14] right guys I think I'm off too [11:14] HedgeMage: TZ mostly, alhtough your sleeping habits need help too [11:14] had the crappest of days till tonight [11:14] LaserJock, the early one was suited for east coast people [11:14] i get up at 0:00 UTC and go to bed at 17:00 UTC [11:15] LaserJock: moving up? what do you mean? earlier or later? [11:15] JaneW: that's actually better than my average sleeping schedule, but that's what happens when you have a little one :P [11:15] flint and jelkner usually attend the early ones [11:15] JaneW: later [11:15] HedgeMage: oh I know all about that (done it twice) [11:15] LaserJock: i added my times too [11:15] LaserJock: move which meeting to which time? I don't quite follow [11:15] later will clash with jelkners school schedule [11:15] and kjcole as well iirc [11:15] ogra, ok fine === JaneW would be happy to make it 11:00 UTC [11:16] nn all === HedgeMage wishes that launchpad had some place where we could all input our preferred waking/available hours so scheduling would be easier [11:16] but 13:00 and later get's inconvenient [11:16] JaneW: Noooo [11:16] :-) [11:16] HedgeMage: belive me it doesn't get easier [11:16] we have the same problem with the distro team [11:17] and now we have a 6 hourly rotating schedule [11:17] ouch [11:17] so everyone is equally screwed [11:17] lol [11:17] ok, so I think the current schedule is good [11:17] :) [11:18] you are screwed only once a month though :) [11:18] seems to suit the most people as much as possible [11:18] i agree [11:18] and us West Coasters will just have to deal with it ;-) [11:18] \o/ [11:19] and if anyone complains again, it's back to 12:00 every week :P [11:19] be warned [11:19] hehe [11:19] oh, noes! [11:19] :P [11:19] i'm unhappy about the times === JaneW thwaps edubuntugirl === HedgeMage changes all of JaneW's clocks just to add to the mayhem [11:19] shut up edubuntugirl, if you know what's good for you ;-) [11:19] ouch [11:19] lol @ LaserJock === cbx33 sets the edubuntu gang on edubuntugirl :p [11:20] :p === edubuntugirl runs === LaserJock has a laser and know how to use it ;-) === caravena [n=caravena@200.55.195.158] has joined #edubuntu === superseth [n=smarinel@24-205-231-12.dhcp.snlo.ca.charter.com] has joined #edubuntu
