Phlostenhello all12:11
Burgundavia_hello Phlosten 12:16
Phlostenis there a seperate development channel for edubuntu?12:17
ograPhlosten, nope, development happens either here or in #ubuntu-devel12:23
Phlostencool, i have a few question regarding edubuntu if a few people are free to answer them, nothing major I hope. I am organising a project to present ubuntu to the teacher community and wanted to iron out some things12:24
Burgundavia_Phlosten, currently we only have one developer to abuse (ogra), so we don't need a whole channel for that ;) 12:31
ograhaha12:32
ograBurgundavia_, the crowd is growing ;)12:32
Phlostenis there a list of what is installed in edubuntu vs ubuntu?12:32
Phlostendo you also know that when you open firefox in the current edubuntu 6.06, it says welcome to 5.10?12:33
ograthat shouldnt happen anymore in todays image12:34
ograi uploaded the final artwork on friday12:34
Phlostencool12:34
ograthe homapage is part of it, as well as a new gnome splash and a new wallpaper12:34
ogra*homepage12:34
Phlosteni guess the edubuntu does not use dhcp to auto setup the network on install because of the LTSP?12:34
ograyep12:34
Phlostenok cool, that kind of threw me for a second12:35
ograyou can use the workstation version, that behaves like a normal ubuntu12:35
ogra(and has no ltsp aboard indeed )12:35
Phlosteni need to know LTSP as its a major selling point to schools12:36
ograyep12:37
Phlosteni hope to have a 12 machine LTSP setup in the local high school by the end of the year12:37
Phlostenis there a windows equivalent to LTSP?12:38
YagisanPhlosten: cytrix12:39
Yagisanwinframe12:39
Phlostenah rightio citrix metaframe12:39
Yagisanmy spelling is off.12:39
Phlostencostly?12:39
ograbtw https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuSchoolAdvocacy has a list of desktop apps (its WIP, but already very far)12:39
=== B4zzA2 [n=chevron_@l2-202-89-171-33.arach.net.au] has joined #edubuntu
Phlosteni have just been tormenting a teacher friend of mine for an insite into issues that will stand in the way of getting Ubuntu into schools12:41
Burgundavia_Phlosten, from someone who has tried to sell desktop linux into schools (and does so into libraries), I can tell you it is hard12:41
PhlostenBurgundavia_, and I would agree with you :)12:41
Burgundavia_the best way to get it in is guerilla style, with an individual teacher12:42
Burgundavia_once it is a proven technology on the ground, you may have a chance with those in suits12:42
Phlostenyeah, I will be 'selling' Ubuntu through this teacher friend of mine12:42
Phlostenour state government already has an open source project on the go so things are drifting the open source way anyway12:43
Burgundavia_where do you live?12:43
PhlostenNew South Wales, Australia12:43
Burgundavia_ah12:43
Burgundavia_anyway, I have to sleep, as it is quarter to 4am here12:43
Phlostenah, indeed, sleep fits in good right about then12:44

PhlostenOTEN-DE12:49
Phlostendistance education12:49
Phlostenthe distance education unit that has no concept of the word 'distance'12:50
YagisanPhlosten: oh they were nice. Did my HSC through them12:50

cbx33how does one create a jabber account?09:11
pygihttp://docs.groove.net/htmldocs/guide/platform/accounts/accounts_identities/accounts_jabber_setup.htm09:12
pygifor example :)09:12
HedgeMagecbx33: on a public server you can do so from any jabber client... if you'd like, though, I'll make you an ID on my private server... better uptime than jabber.org and such09:13
pygijabber.org server is bad :(09:13
HedgeMage(Since jabber is designed to be distributed, the servers can all talk to one another, so you needn't worry about being on the same one as everyone else)09:13
cbx33oooh nice09:13
cbx33thanx HedgeMage 09:14
cbx33please do create me one09:14
HedgeMagepygi: it wouldn't be if it weren't so @#$% over loaded... unfortunately, it is the default for most clients, so too many people use it09:14
HedgeMagecbx33: want your user name to be cbx33 or something else?09:14
cbx33yeh cbx33 is good09:14
pygiHedgeMage, make me one as well? :)09:14
HedgeMageokay.09:14
HedgeMagepygi: sure... pygi?09:14
HedgeMageor another name09:14
pygiindeed :P09:14
HedgeMagealso, what I usually do is make each user an email alias that matches your jabber ID (since it looks like an email addy it sometimes confuses newbies)... if you'd like that, let me know what email addy it should go to09:15

HedgeMagebe patient :P09:33
=== pygi sits down and becomes patient
lucasvopygi: how can I remount my / ?09:34
HedgeMagelucasvo: no, you edit /etc/shadow09:34
HedgeMagelucasvo: then delete the hash of your pw from the appropriate line and reboot09:34
HedgeMagefrom there you can log in as that username with no pw, and use passwd to set a new one09:35
lucasvoHedgeMage: how can I mount my /  with r/w?09:35
pygilucasvo, just listen to HedgeMage 09:36

Bluekujaall with bash commands11:11
pygiargh, Archlinux is in "testing" phase at my computer :)11:11
Bluekujaoh :D11:11
pygithe second computer is not much used anyway, just for testing debian packages on ubuntu, and vice versa :)11:11
pygiand building them, ofcourse11:11
Bluekujai had it in one of my servers11:11
Bluekujafor 2 months11:12
Bluekujathen i changed11:12
Bluekuja^^11:12
LaserJockpygi: that's what I have Debian chroots for ;-)11:12
pygiLaserJock, ah, well, in that case the secondary computer would be completely useless :)11:13
LaserJockhehe, I'd have pbuilder working on both ;-)11:13
pygi:)11:14
pygiBluekuja, nothing is really wrong with it, at least for now :)11:14
pygiAll servers I setuped before were Slackware, then I started setting up Debian *just for one year tho*, and now its all Ubuntu11:14
pygiconsidering I am part of ubuntu server team :)11:15
Bluekujapygi: it's a good platform but i was missing desktop environment :D11:15
alexandros_sehello LaserJock 11:16
alexandros_se:D11:16
pygiBluekuja, pacman does miracles on installing gnome , kde or whatever :)11:16
Bluekujapygi: i know, but i've chosen it to use bash11:16
pygiheh :)11:16
Bluekujapygi: learning everything of it11:16
Bluekujapygi: i worked for 2-3 months on it and then i changed11:17
pygio, I had enough of that on slackware since 2.x :P11:17
Bluekujapygi:  i tried slack too11:17
HedgeMageSlack was my first distro and will always have a special place in my heart.11:18
LaserJockhi alexandros_se 11:18
HedgeMageit was my main from 1995-200511:19
pygiargh, what version  ?11:19
LaserJockI think slack is the only major distro I never tried, I'm not sure why11:19
BluekujaLaserJock: :D11:19
pygiLaserJock, because you would need a lot of compiling perhaps ? :)11:20
LaserJockpygi: I ran Gentoo for a few years ;-)11:20
Bluekujapygi: have you tried the new fedora core?11:20
pygiindeed, but there are no ebuilds here, just pure source :)11:20
pygiand no dependency resolution :)11:20
LaserJocktrue, emerge was awesome11:20
pygiBluekuja, I dont like red-hatoids :)11:20
Bluekujapygi: lol11:20
LaserJockRedHat/Fedora always seemed a bit slow for me11:21
Bluekujapygi: well fedora and red hat were my first distro 2 years ago11:21
Bluekuja*ditros11:21
Bluekuja*distros11:21
Bluekujalol11:21
LaserJockI started linux with RedHat 7.211:22
BluekujaLaserJock: me too, then i changed to redhat911:22
BluekujaLaserJock: then i tried gentoo, mandrake,fedora11:22
LaserJockI think I ditched on RedHat 8 and went to gentoo11:23
LaserJockthen I went to SuSe and then Ubuntu for main distros11:23
BluekujaLaserJock: now there is a new installation interface for gentoo11:23
pygiBluekuja, ah, I saw that11:24
pygisomething like Ubiquity11:24
Bluekujapygi: yes11:24
pygimost distros take that approach now11:24
Bluekujapygi: now you dont have to stay 4 hours in front of a gentoo installation11:24
LaserJockBluekuja: yeah, I tried it out11:24
BluekujaLaserJock: how it is?11:25
LaserJockBluekuja: I usually had a base gentoo install going in < 1hr11:25
LaserJockBluekuja: looks nice, I only tried it once. I think I might like it better than ubiquity11:25
BluekujaLaserJock: well when i started i installed gentoo in 3-4 hours for the first time11:25
LaserJockespecially since I never could get the LiveCD to install for me :/11:26
pygiLaserJock, argh, whats the issue?11:26
