HedgeMageAnyone about?  I could use an opinion regarding my "installation" chapter: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HowToCookEdubuntu/Chapters/StandAloneInstallation03:46
HedgeMageI am considering splitting off "What Now?" into its own chapter when it's finished.03:47
=== crimsun looks
crimsunare you soliciting layout comments or content?03:53
HedgeMageIt's quite long, and the screen shots aren't in yet03:53
HedgeMagecontent.  layout isn't done03:53
HedgeMagecontent is almost done03:53
HedgeMagestill tweaking, catching typos03:53
crimsunk. In the installing section, I would say "type of computer (architecture)"03:54
=== HedgeMage nods
HedgeMageI know some of the step titles seem odd, but I made a point to use the title at the top of the installer screen during each step to cut down on confusion03:55
crimsunPres -> Press and hold <Del> ...03:55
crimsunPressing the botton(s) when asked will give   (removing 'for')03:56
=== HedgeMage nods
crimsunIn the select keyboard section, "If it is correct, just press Enter" is probably more persuasive03:59
HedgeMagegood catches, thanks!03:59
crimsunIn Configuring the network, "end of the install"03:59
crimsunIn set up users.., I would double-quote "sudo" just so the distinction is more apparent04:01
crimsunIn What Now?, "update when Edubuntu reminds you to"  (removing 'daily', since it's probably a bit more detail than necessary)04:03
crimsunotherwise, looks good, flows well04:03

HedgeMagehierophant: I thought you might like to help proof the documentation I'm working on for the standalone Edubuntu installation.06:58
HedgeMageTry it and tell me where my instructions need improvement06:58
hierophantok06:58
HedgeMageLet me grab you a link06:59
HedgeMagehttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/HowToCookEdubuntu/Chapters/StandAloneInstallation06:59
HedgeMageThat's the draft I'm working on06:59
HedgeMageI still need to add screenshots and finish the "What Now?" section at the end.06:59
HedgeMagebut, other than formatting and "what now?" it's done07:00
HedgeMageI think07:00
HedgeMagelet me know what YOU think :)07:00
HedgeMageIt would be a *huge* help.07:00
hierophantUmm my computer to boot from the disk you press f1107:01
HedgeMageBTW, welcome to Edubuntu :D07:01
hierophantty07:01
LaserJockHedgeMage: I'm awake :-)07:03
HedgeMageLaserJock: hey there07:03
HedgeMagehierophant is new to Linux but he's going to help us out with some of the edubuntu cookbook stuff :)07:03
HedgeMagechecking and proofing and stuff07:04
HedgeMageand making sure I didn't randomly assume somewhere that the user knows where their Xorg config is or how to use CLI emacs or something crazy like that.07:04
LaserJockhehe, that is always go to do07:05
LaserJockcbx33 did that for the Ubuntu Packaging Guide for me07:05
hierophanthedgemage what if im using a home network that uses 192.168.0.1 do i type that in for my net config07:05
hierophantor is that in another step07:05
HedgeMagehierophant: You *probably* have DHCP so it'll do it for you automagically07:07
HedgeMagethe other stuff is just in case of emergencies :)07:08
hierophantbut it didnt do it automatically when i tried breezy07:08
hierophantregular ubuntu07:08
hierophantso what do i do with the 192.168.0.107:09
HedgeMagewell, then why not look in your current windows config before you re-format and write down the settings?07:09
HedgeMageif it dies trying to auto-config, you will need: your IP, the gateway, the netmask, and a nameserver07:10
hierophantwhere do i find those settings?07:10
HedgeMageumm... under networking in the control panel, then right-click the connection and pick properties I think07:11

HedgeMagethe install part is done (just needs formatting and screen shots)09:49
HedgeMageI started adding a "what now?" section at the bottom for post-install / getting to know your system stuff09:50
HedgeMagehowever, I think it's going to get long and I want all of your opinions on splitting it off into its own chapter09:50
hierophanthedgemage09:50
hierophantwould you like screen shots when i do install?09:50
HedgeMagehierophant: unless you know how to set up a virtual machine, you can't effectively screen capture during the install09:51

HedgeMageLaser_away: or cbx33 or someone caught about five typos earlier, I have 'em marked off on my paper copy but haven't fixed 'em yet09:53

cbx33let me know how it goes01:41
cbx33highvoltage, I've been taking some of the wording for the front page from the ESA01:42
cbx33I was wondering a few things though01:42
cbx33do you think we can get someone to do meeting notes again01:43
cbx33I think that would be really useful01:43
cbx33should we move planning to a seperate page?01:43
highvoltagehmmm...  i thought JaneW does meeting notes?01:44
highvoltageperhaps not anymore01:44
cbx33no, it seems to ahve stopped, I know she's super busy01:46

cbx33highvoltage, what about the plannin side of things, I don;t personally think we should clutter the homepage with that01:52
highvoltagecbx33: yep, i agree with you there01:54
highvoltagethere used to be a meetings wiki page01:54
highvoltageperhaps we can just keep it there01:54

jsgotangcoyep01:59
highvoltagejsgotangco: you have anything ubuntu'ish planned short-term?02:00
jsgotangcowhat do you mean? I have an article coming out on free software magazine by the next issue (probably june) on gnupg and thunderbird02:01
jsgotangcoat the moment, i am writing about package management systems but for a local magazine02:01

jsgotangcoit is pretty amazing i still manage to have a day job that is completely not foss related02:03
highvoltagesorry, that was a bit vague. i meant in terms of other open-source events / and genereal stuff. so your answer is in line with my question :)02:04

alfrednHello, My screen refresh seems a bit slow should I enable something in the lts.conf?  Thanks03:30
cbx33alfredn, just in general, or when you are running a particular application?03:33
alfrednin general just started using the client been using03:33
alfrednthe server and it was quick.  The client03:33
alfrednhas a decent card too.03:33
cbx33what's the network connection like between the two03:34
alfrednThe speed is 100 and I used this same physical setup for another LTSP install using Fedora it seemed okay then but maybe that is it03:34
alfredncould it be glx03:35
alfrednIt reminds me of running vnc over an okay not great connection.  Should I add something to the lts.conf03:47
cbx33hmmm04:07
cbx33not sure04:07
cbx33ask ogra if he is around, my setups have all been ok04:07
alfrednthanks cbx33 no rush on my end.  I do hope to set this up at a library near by so far K12ltsp has done them well on Fedora but want to get ubuntu in there04:10

ograalfredn, you can try adding things like X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH and also check that the client is not using the vesa driver05:19
ograhttps://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLtsConfParams has a list with possible values for breezy, dapper has more features that are not all documented yet05:20
alfrednI will check but 05:20
alfrednnow that there is no ltsinfo --cfg=ALL -h wsXXX how do I check05:20
ograi.e. if you use dapper i'd use X_COLOR_DEPTH=16 that speeds up a lot05:20
ograeasiest is to temporary enable a root password in the client chroot and just locg in on console on the client 05:21
ograsudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd05:22
ogra^^^^^^^ enabels the root pw 05:22
ograsudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 passwd -l05:22
ogra^^^^^^^ locks the root pw 05:22
=== highvoltage copies and pastes the last for lines for future documentation
alfrednPretty neat what that can do. So it is not using vesa, it is not a great card but should do fine ATI Rage 128 AGP 8 megs ram05:33
alfrednthe machine it self is 233 PII with 64 megs of ram.05:33

cbx33ogra, i never knew those pages were there06:01
cbx33can't wait to get he ltsp wiki page done06:01
cbx33will start that later I think06:01
ograi wanted to work on a example lts.conf with all possible values in it and some explanatory text if i find time before release06:03
ograthats better than a plain wikipage imho06:03
ogra(indeed we can have a wikipage additionally)06:03
ograalso the breezy versiomn of that page should persist, we should probably have breezy and dapper subpages under EdubuntuLtsConfParams06:04
cbx33oh yeh, of course06:11
cbx33I was talking about the ltsp homepage we discussed06:11
ograah06:11
cbx33to bring all the documentation together06:11
ograyep, it will also show the weaknesses where we should jump on with LTSPManager06:12
cbx33indeed06:12
cbx33LTSPManager is going to rock06:12
ograi.e. upgrading the chroot should become easier06:12

cbx33what is the development status at the bottom supposed to show?06:35
cbx33is it just historical now?06:36
ograyep06:36
cbx33so I can vamoosh it?06:36
cbx33I want to replace it with something detailing the status and development....it's nice to show we are working on something :p06:36
cbx33but I'll take it out for now06:36
ogralets discuss it in the next meeting, probably people want to keep somewhere it for historical reasons06:36
cbx33oh yeh06:37
cbx33I'm just editing a mock page at the moment06:37
cbx33I'm not deleting anything :p06:37
ograwe had company performance reviews last week06:37
ograand i know mdz wants us to do something like a status newsletter06:37
ograso we could merge that in there in the future06:37
cbx33definitely06:38
ograor better have a news subsection where they can reside on the drupal site06:38
cbx33that could also link in with the meeting notes we were talking about earlier06:38
cbx33I think that's a fantastic idea06:38
cbx33https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuWikiMock06:38
ograi'm not really a fan of wikis if it comes to do more than documenting on them06:38
cbx33that's it in progress06:39
cbx33ogra, I agree06:39
cbx33some sections hav not been worked yet at all06:39
ograin MOTU we had pages for package transitions with 500 line tables ... imagine you need to edit that :)06:39
cbx33but I've edited some with invisible tables to help the layout and spac a little06:39
cbx33heh06:39
ogras/line/row/06:39
cbx33sheesh06:40
ograthat gets really hard if you discover that firefox has no search option for text input fields 06:40
cbx33I presume this wiki page will take over once dapper is released06:40
cbx33ogra, I feel your pain have done that before06:40
