| Doxedon | hi | 01:43 |
| Doxedon | can anyone help me? | 01:44 |
| Burgwork | Doxedon, what is your issue? | 01:45 |
| Doxedon | How do I get the GUI to load? Currently all I see is a black screen where I can type | 01:46 |
| Burgwork | what version of Edubuntu? | 01:48 |
| Doxedon | *cough* It's uhh Ubuntu Live CD 5. something? | 01:48 |
| Burgwork | Flight 5? | 01:50 |
| Doxedon | breezebadger | 01:50 |
| Burgwork | hmm, ok | 01:51 |
| Doxedon | 5.10 | 01:51 |
| Burgwork | what kind of video card do you have and what kind fo machine? | 01:51 |
| Doxedon | no idea :( | 01:51 |
| Burgwork | laptop or desktop? | 01:51 |
| Doxedon | desktop | 01:51 |
| Burgwork | is it a custom built or a name brand? | 01:52 |
| Doxedon | it said it loaded the desktop files [ok] and a bunch of other things | 01:52 |
| Doxedon | i think its a standard | 01:52 |
| Doxedon | got it like 5-6 years ago | 01:52 |
| Burgwork | we are on the verge of releasing a new version of Ubuntu, are you able to try that? | 01:53 |
| Doxedon | sure, I guess? | 01:54 |
| Burgwork | http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/ <-- can you download this and try it? | 01:55 |
| Burgwork | are you just wanting to try ubuntu? | 01:56 |
| Burgwork | Doxedon, if your machine does not work with that, do you think you can file a bug? | 01:57 |
| Doxedon | yeah, I just want to try it out | 01:57 |
| Doxedon | so I downloaded the live cd version just to see how it goes | 01:58 |
| Doxedon | I'd try it on a newer computer but it won't boot off the cd for some reason | 01:58 |
| === Amaranth [n=amaranth@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| Burgwork | the version I asked you to download is a still a beta, so don't trust mission critical data to it | 01:59 |
| Doxedon | does that come in a live cd format? | 02:00 |
| Burgwork | yep | 02:00 |
| === saugilsr_ [n=sreiach@24.231.48.80] has joined #edubuntu | ||

| Burgundavia | ogra, is the amd64 cd back undersize now? | 08:31 |
| ogra | Burgundavia, the next build | 08:31 |
| Burgundavia | and all we lost was kstars and tuxmath? | 08:31 |
| ogra | yep | 08:37 |
| Burgundavia | ok, just wondering | 08:37 |
| jsgotangco | try installing it for once ;) | 08:38 |
| Burgundavia | jsgotangco, I am preserving my perfect reputation for having never actually installed Edubuntu | 08:39 |
| jsgotangco | :P | 08:39 |
| Burgundavia | in fact, I have never actually used Edubuntu | 08:39 |
| Burgundavia | I have used nearly everything in it, just not the whole package | 08:39 |
| jsgotangco | fair enough | 08:40 |
| jsgotangco | but then you're just looking at the surface | 08:40 |
| Burgundavia | besides, if I actually installed it, you wouldn't be able to raz me for it | 08:40 |
| Burgundavia | ogra, if we pitched it right, do you think mark would go for sponsoring somebody to work on the gcompris artwork? | 08:42 |
| jsgotangco | we need more community developers involved first | 08:42 |
| ogra | hmm, no idea, i dont know at all what he thinks about gcpmpris | 08:42 |
| Burgundavia | I was thinking bounty style | 08:43 |
| Burgundavia | something bdoin and I were kicking around the other day | 08:43 |
| jsgotangco | he's more involved in LAMS at the moment no? | 08:44 |
| Burgundavia | lams? | 08:44 |
| jsgotangco | try going to lamsfoundation.org | 08:45 |
| Burgundavia | very cool | 08:45 |
| === HedgeMage sees activity and peeks in | ||
| Burgundavia | the other way I was going to try and do is to convince the Canadian gov to fund iut | 08:46 |
| jsgotangco | the plan is probably to un-java-fy it | 08:46 |
| === Burgundavia needs to get reinvolved with SILC | ||
| HedgeMage | silc? | 08:48 |
| Burgundavia | silc.ca | 08:48 |
| HedgeMage | ahh cool | 08:50 |
| Burgundavia | well, this is great and all, but I need to sleep | 08:54 |
| Burgundavia | night all | 08:54 |
| HedgeMage | night night | 08:54 |
| lucasvo | 08:46 < jsgotangco> the plan is probably to un-java-fy it | 08:58 |
| lucasvo | that's a good idea :) | 08:59 |
| jsgotangco | heh | 09:03 |

| juliux | JaneW, it is possible to order more then 5 edubuntu cds? | 02:05 |
| juliux | JaneW, e.x. for an talk in school or a event | 02:05 |
| JaneW | juliux: not at this stage | 02:06 |
| juliux | JaneW, ok | 02:06 |
| JaneW | juliux: but special oders will be made avaialble, althgouh you'll be asked to motivate why you want lots | 02:06 |
| JaneW | they are not cheap | 02:06 |
| juliux | JaneW, i know | 02:06 |
| JaneW | juliux: silbs shipit has quietly gone live. There is still an important feature to be added (ability to order large numbers of CDs) so the launch is relatively low key until that's in place. | 02:07 |
| === lucasvo already wondered why he can't order more than 5 edubuntu cds | ||
| juliux | JaneW, i think that is greate that there are cds, the rest is luxury | 02:11 |
| JaneW | because many CDs are wasted and Mark has basically said he is not funding free CDs forever | 02:14 |
| JaneW | it costs many $s | 02:14 |
| JaneW | he wants Cds to be able to get whereever they need to be, but then wants them to be copied and shared as far as possible | 02:15 |
| cbx33 | JaneW, it's great news that we can get CD's for Edubuntu this time round | 02:18 |
| === JaneW thinks so to | ||
| cbx33 | do we know what the press run is? | 02:18 |
| juliux | JaneW, we have in germany the idea that we sell a special *ubuntu community box, with a dvd. | 02:18 |
| JaneW | I didn;t expect it because we tried for last time and were told no, and that we'd maybe get a few this time | 02:18 |
| JaneW | juliux: great :) | 02:18 |
| JaneW | cbx33: I asked for 20 000 | 02:19 |
| cbx33 | wow | 02:19 |
| JaneW | cbx33: they'll see how it goes | 02:19 |
| cbx33 | yeh | 02:19 |
| cbx33 | i guessed that | 02:19 |
| juliux | JaneW, it will cost not more than 10, and the benefit will go into the community, e.x. server for forums, or flyer | 02:20 |
| lucasvo | juliux: 10EUR is not much | 02:20 |
| lucasvo | what's included in that box? | 02:20 |
| cbx33 | juliux, is there printing included in that | 02:21 |
| juliux | lucasvo, one *ubuntu dvd and a inlay with a little text about ubuntu and where you can get support | 02:21 |
| juliux | cbx33, yes it is included | 02:21 |
| lucasvo | oh, ok | 02:21 |
| cbx33 | juliux, sounds fantastic | 02:21 |
| juliux | cbx33, its only a paperboard box | 02:22 |
| cbx33 | yeh | 02:22 |
| cbx33 | but still | 02:22 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: what about printing the galileo openbook? :) | 02:22 |

| lucasvo | http://www.galileocomputing.de/openbook/ubuntu/ | 02:23 |
| juliux | lucasvo, the german one? | 02:23 |
| lucasvo | yes | 02:23 |
| lucasvo | that's probably not allowed | 02:23 |
| lucasvo | :) | 02:23 |
| === lucasvo would like to make a ubuntujournal | ||
| lucasvo | anybody interested in writing articles? | 02:23 |
| juliux | why you want print it your self? | 02:23 |
| cbx33 | lucasvo, sure | 02:23 |
| === cbx33 is going to start an edubuntu book | ||
| cbx33 | to be printed on something like lulu | 02:24 |
| lucasvo | juliux: I mean that there is actually something in the box | 02:24 |
| juliux | lucasvo, http://www.ubuntuusers.de/ikhaya/ one time there will be a printed version of the articel | 02:24 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: hm, a book? | 02:24 |
| cbx33 | yes | 02:24 |
| cbx33 | for schools and teachers | 02:24 |
| lucasvo | juliux: yeah, one could print that | 02:24 |
| === lucasvo can't write, neither german nor english :) | ||
| juliux | lucasvo, but a printed journal is very expansive | 02:24 |
| lucasvo | juliux: why? | 02:24 |
| === lucasvo has too many open tabs | ||
| cbx33 | hehehe | 02:25 |
| juliux | lucasvo, we tried to make a print version for the linuxtag but it was to expansive to give it for free away | 02:25 |
| juliux | lucasvo, if you print 400 journals with 40 sites it cost 850 | 02:25 |
| cbx33 | yikes | 02:26 |
| juliux | i have to wash my dishes | 02:26 |

| lucasvo | you can print it for 10$ per piece if you order about 200 | 02:28 |
| cbx33 | quantity is always the problem | 02:28 |
| cbx33 | you can get things dirt cheap if you order enough | 02:28 |

| lucasvo | cbx33: we look for good blog postings, forum threads and other guides, ask people from the community to write articles. | 02:32 |
| cbx33 | sounds like a great idea | 02:32 |
| lucasvo | correct them, format them for printing, look for people who would be interested in advertising, and print it on lulu for example | 02:32 |
| cbx33 | lucasvo, sounds like that could work, I mean essentailly the book was going to be similar without the whole community feel of blog posts etc | 02:33 |
| lucasvo | one could print the ubuntu meeting calendar | 02:33 |
| lucasvo | print the interview from ubuntu devs | 02:34 |
| lucasvo | ubuntu behind the scenes | 02:34 |
| lucasvo | I would say every 3 months | 02:34 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: well, one could say, all the "scientific" articles would be put together once every year and be published as a real book | 02:35 |
| cbx33 | lucasvo, it sounds like a great idea, will to write a spec with me? | 02:35 |
| lucasvo | yes | 02:36 |
| cbx33 | i would expect to be able to put omre time into this after dapper | 02:37 |

| Yagisan | cbx33: lucasvo: whats up ? | 02:41 |
| lucasvo | Yagisan: we plan a new project: Ubuntu Journal | 02:41 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: how should we start? | 02:41 |
| === lucasvo never wrote a spec | ||
| cbx33 | check out the spec template on the wiki | 02:42 |

| === Yagisan is hiding in here after flames over in -motu and -devel | ||
| === Yagisan is sure he flushed his motu chances down the toilet | ||
| Phlosten | flames? | 02:43 |
| Phlosten | what did you do? | 02:43 |
| Yagisan | Phlosten: I read the sun-java DJL 1.1 and felt it is unsuitable for Ubuntu | 02:44 |
| lucasvo | haha | 02:44 |
| Phlosten | heh | 02:44 |
| Phlosten | it has some tight restrictions attached | 02:45 |
| Phlosten | i hope it is not going in the main repos | 02:45 |
| Yagisan | Phlosten: they put it in multiverse. I could tell you my opinion, but it will most likely pan out the same way | 02:46 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: what should I write in rationale? | 02:46 |
| Phlosten | i like opinion | 02:46 |
| Yagisan | Phlosten: ok. then we can't ship perl, python, gcc if we ship sun-java5, due to clause 2c | 02:47 |
| Phlosten | i havent read it, whats clause 2c? | 02:47 |
| Yagisan | Phlosten: clause 2b prohibits us from writing portable java code | 02:47 |
| Yagisan | Phlosten: pm'ed it to you | 02:48 |
| Phlosten | got it | 02:48 |
| Phlosten | thats a very 'broad' clause | 02:49 |
| Phlosten | but does it read different in context to other content in this document | 02:49 |
| Phlosten | not that I am trying to defend it at all | 02:49 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/UbuntuJournal | 02:50 |
| Phlosten | i view it as companies want to open source, but not | 02:50 |
| Phlosten | i spose you could say its open source, but far from gpl'd :) | 02:50 |

| Phlosten | a journal 4 times a year is only 2 per version | 03:15 |
| lucasvo | Phlosten: yes | 03:16 |
| lucasvo | that's not good | 03:16 |
| lucasvo | maybe 6 a year | 03:16 |
| lucasvo | that's 3 per version | 03:17 |
| lucasvo | Phlosten: what do you think? | 03:17 |
| Phlosten | yeah | 03:17 |
| lucasvo | Phlosten: besides the issues any other comment? | 03:18 |
| Phlosten | 6.06 LTS is for 3 years or support (5 years server) so there is always that to think of | 03:18 |
| Phlosten | or=of | 03:18 |
| Phlosten | i think thats a great idea | 03:18 |
| Yagisan | cbx33: I'm not sure arguing with core devs helps my chances though | 03:18 |
| lucasvo | Yagisan: well, they should respect your attitude | 03:19 |
| lucasvo | and not count that as negative | 03:19 |
| Yagisan | lucasvo: I ah, told them I thought they fucked up big time. no one likes to hear that. | 03:19 |
| lucasvo | Phlosten: it should only be about the most recent one | 03:19 |
| Phlosten | the sun thing should be looked at with critical eyes | 03:19 |
| lucasvo | sun thing? | 03:20 |
| === lucasvo is irritated when you have cross-channel discussions :) | ||
| Yagisan | lucasvo: yeah the sun-java, and the very restrictive license | 03:21 |
| lucasvo | ah, java | 03:21 |
| === lucasvo only read about that in slashdot | ||
| lucasvo | *lol* Science: Spacecraft Crashes Into Satellite | 03:25 |

| cbx33 | ie wiping it clean? | 04:29 |
| sunnzy2 | I am setting up partitions by hand now... :'( | 04:29 |
| cbx33 | ok | 04:30 |
| cbx33 | see if that works | 04:30 |
| sunnzy2 | I hope that the installer is smart enough to tell that the partitions has already been setup. | 04:30 |

| cbx33 | sunnzy2, did you run the installer from the terminal? | 04:46 |
| jsgotangco | ryan_rousseau: that's cool, we'll probably wrap up selection by this week then we can start discussing further | 04:46 |
| sunnzy2 | I'll try it now. | 04:46 |
| ryan_rousseau | jsgotangco: That sounds good to me. I'll be going out of town (back home) this weekend to visit family and have a minor surgery, but I'll be back in town on Tuesday (in time to see the SoC announcements) =) | 04:47 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: did you do any changes? | 04:52 |
| cbx33 | yes | 04:52 |
| cbx33 | just finished | 04:52 |

| lucasvo | cbx33: what do you think about having ads in ubuntujournal? | 05:12 |
| ogra | sbartleylinux, sorry meeting and working since 30h in a row ... | 05:12 |
| sbartleylinux | np | 05:13 |
| sbartleylinux | Was just hoping to get an update on the status of client side sound and printer support. We had talked before and I think you said it should be working by final release but I cant remember for sure. | 05:14 |
| lucasvo | sbartleylinux: sound works on dapper | 05:17 |
| lucasvo | sbartleylinux: but I don't think the printers will | 05:17 |
| sbartleylinux | lucasvo, k. thx. setting up a test today. | 05:18 |
| sbartleylinux | lucasvo, do you have any info on where I can find the sound config settings that work on dapper? | 05:18 |
| lucasvo | sbartleylinux: you need to enable it in the lts.conf | 05:18 |
| lucasvo | I think you have to add [DEFAULT] | 05:18 |
| lucasvo | SOUND = YES | 05:18 |
| lucasvo | but I am not sure | 05:18 |
| sbartleylinux | k. will try that. thx. | 05:19 |
| jsgotangco | goodnight | 05:19 |
| cbx33 | sunnzy2, how can you tell? | 05:20 |
| cbx33 | lucasvo, i think that ads would be a good way to fund the journal for cheaper printing perhaps | 05:20 |
| sunnzy2 | That's what it is saying... | 05:20 |
| cbx33 | so what did you ask for and what did it do? | 05:22 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: juliux doesn't like it | 05:22 |
| cbx33 | for what reason? | 05:23 |
| lucasvo | he didn't name a good reason | 05:23 |
| lucasvo | :) | 05:23 |
| cbx33 | i can see why there would be reservations | 05:23 |
| sunnzy2 | And it just crashed | 05:23 |
| sunnzy2 | I am going to try it one more time and goto sleep | 05:24 |
| lucasvo | cbx33: I would say NO ads that offer similar things than canonical does | 05:24 |
| cbx33 | sunnzy2, please pipe the output from the terminal to a file | 05:24 |
| cbx33 | lucasvo, of course | 05:24 |
| sunnzy2 | This installer thing just doesn't work | 05:26 |
| sunnzy2 | I unchecked all the "reformat" boxes and it still wants to format everything as ext3... | 05:26 |
| cbx33 | it has worked fine for me, but we need information to fix bugs | 05:26 |
| sunnzy2 | It doesn't do what it is suppose to do | 05:26 |
| sunnzy2 | What a waste of CD. | 05:27 |

| sbartleylinux | lucasvo, I set lts.conf to have [Default] & SOUND = True which I found on the forum. Server is an Ubuntu Dapper Server (not edubuntu). Client is booting fine. Shows an error on the client about Sound requested but /dev/dsp not found. Any ideas? | 05:55 |
| cbx33 | sbartleylinux, ogra would be your man ther e:p | 05:56 |
| sbartleylinux | yep. unfortunately, he has been up for 30 hours and is in a meeting.:) | 05:57 |
| sbartleylinux | audio is coming out on the server speakers but not on the client side. | 05:57 |
| sbartleylinux | i.e. when the client logs in, I get audio out of the server. | 05:57 |
| cbx33 | yes i had that, but then I've never tried client side audio yet | 05:58 |
| sbartleylinux | me either. first time i have tried. | 05:58 |

| PixelConductor | Hello #edubuntu, anyone here know how to make dhcp3-server serve bootp as well as dhcp? | 07:13 |
| PixelConductor | I'm trying to netboot some older imacs. | 07:13 |
| Burgwork | PixelConductor, read the dhcpd man page. It talks about it | 07:15 |
| PixelConductor | thanks. | 07:15 |
| Burgwork | PixelConductor, here is an online version http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/dhcpd8.html | 07:15 |
| PixelConductor | Thanks, | 07:25 |
| PixelConductor | I now officially have an i386 server booting 350 and 333mhz imacs via ltsp in dapper. | 07:25 |
| PixelConductor | For those who have been following this (I was formerly known as elliot_) the trick is to run ltsp-build-client on the client without nfs mounting /opt/ltsp and then copying over the files in /var/lib/tftpboot and /opt/ltsp/powerpc after the client is built. | 07:27 |
| PixelConductor | To boot 333mhz imacs (firmware version 3.0.f3) you need to tell dhcpd to serve a bootp address to that hardware address. | 07:28 |
| Burgwork | can you document that somewhere? | 07:28 |
| PixelConductor | yes. Guess it isn't quite as ready as I thought on the 333. | 07:31 |
| PixelConductor | Also, anyone have thoughts on why it would get to a text login, then Alt+F7 brings you a gui login that works. | 07:31 |
| Burgwork | PixelConductor, sorry, no idea | 07:39 |
| Burgwork | I have actually never installed edubuntu, so won't be able to help you with that | 07:39 |

| === cbx33 guesses ogra has been working hard | ||
| ogra | since 8am yesterday, with only short coffebreaks, yes | 08:00 |
| cbx33 | ogra, HedgeMage came up with a theming bug that I wanted to run by you | 08:00 |
| cbx33 | ogra, get some sleep man | 08:00 |
| ogra | yes, yes ... we have a forced holiday tomorrow, i can sleep all day | 08:00 |
| cbx33 | she changed the theme and then tried to get back to the default one, but the default one isnt saved | 08:01 |
| ogra | saved ? | 08:01 |
| cbx33 | she managed to copy it across from another computer | 08:01 |
| cbx33 | yes, is that a supposed to be thing | 08:01 |
| ogra | the default one is the default | 08:01 |
| cbx33 | once you change the gnome theme on dapper | 08:01 |
| cbx33 | you can't easily go back | 08:01 |
| ogra | if you change something, gconf will always respect that | 08:02 |
| ogra | thats a feature, not a bug | 08:02 |
| cbx33 | so not being able to get back to the edubuntu default theme easily is ok? | 08:02 |
| ogra | well, i wouldt call it a bug, if you change the defaults, just change them back ... | 08:02 |
| cbx33 | ok, | 08:03 |
| cbx33 | I'll let her know | 08:03 |
| cbx33 | howz it all going anyway | 08:03 |
| ogra | there is no such thing like a reset theme button, no ... but thats not a bug imho... or if its a bug its a design bug in the gconf system | 08:03 |
| cbx33 | totally understandable | 08:03 |
| ogra | fine ... | 08:03 |
| cbx33 | I just said I'd ask you | 08:03 |
| ogra | i'm just a bit scared to add the edubuntu-docs package to the CD | 08:04 |

| ogra | HedgeMage, thats by design of the undrlying system | 08:06 |
| PixelConductor | is there somewhere that maps breezy packages to new packages in dapper? Specifically krb5-user appears to be gone. | 08:06 |
| HedgeMage | ogra: that's going to confuse a lot of users who switch to another theme and can't switch back | 08:06 |
| ogra | if you make a user change, that one will always override the system settings | 08:06 |
| HedgeMage | maybe you misunderstood what I was reporting? | 08:07 |
| HedgeMage | let's say I install regular ubuntu... I try a few gnome themes and decide I want the standard one back... I choose "Human" and I'm right back to the default | 08:07 |

| HedgeMage | I install Edubuntu, switch themes, and I can't switch back to the default, why? | 08:08 |
| ogra | sure you can | 08:08 |
| ogra | dpkg-reconfigure will always do what you tell it | 08:08 |
| HedgeMage | it is there as my "current" settings but isn't saved as an actual theme unless the user does so manually | 08:08 |
| ogra | but thats only for the systme defaults | 08:08 |
| ogra | its a feature imho that gconf overrides that if user settings are present | 08:09 |
| HedgeMage | Why would saving the defaults as a theme and having it in the theme chooser list be a bad thing? | 08:09 |
| ogra | oh, you are talking about the theme chooser ... | 08:10 |
| === HedgeMage nods | ||
| === HedgeMage is picturing many newbies being very confused/disappointed. | ||
| ogra | i'm not sure i'll find the time to implement it tonight i'll need to sleep at some point | 08:11 |

| ogra | i'll see what i can do, but my schedule is already more than full | 08:12 |
| HedgeMage | ogra: I'll happily do it if you can tell me what to do to get it in there, it's a quick thing and I already have it saved as a theme on my system. | 08:12 |
| HedgeMage | ogra: I know you are busy as busy can be right now | 08:13 |
| ogra | if i do it i want to do it for all three themes | 08:13 |

| Burgwork | ogra, plus I hate companies that have "open source editions" | 08:23 |
| HedgeMage | cbx33: looking now | 08:23 |
| Burgwork | usually that means "we don't care about this version" | 08:23 |
| ogra | System Requirements | 08:24 |
| ogra | The default classroom server installation requires a CPU of at least 1 GHz, at least 256 MB of RAM for the server and an additional 128 MB of RAM per thin client (e.g., a server driving two clients should have at least 512 MB RAM), and at least 2.5 GB of disk space. | 08:24 |
| ogra | A standalone Edubuntu workstation requires a CPU of at least 500 Mhz, at least 128 MB of RAM, and at least 2.1 GB of disk space. | 08:24 |
| ogra | HedgeMage, ^^^^^^^^^^ | 08:24 |
| HedgeMage | thanks | 08:24 |
| ogra | we should probably add that the live installer needs at least 256M :) | 08:25 |
| HedgeMage | cbx33: just finished reading/comparing intro, nice changes. It's definitely clearer. | 08:27 |
| Laser_away | ogra: how much ram does a Edubuntu LTSP server need? | 08:28 |
| ogra | Laser_away, read above :) | 08:28 |
| cbx33 | HedgeMage, hope so | 08:28 |
| Laser_away | ogra: oh, that's for Edubuntu? I thought you were talking about that safedesk.com thing | 08:29 |
| ogra | nope | 08:29 |
| ogra | they require 128M *on the client* as well | 08:29 |
| ogra | dapper can live happily with 48M clients | 08:30 |
| Laser_away | hmm, I was actually talking with the department sys admin about converting our computer lab ( ~10 computers ) into a LTSP setup | 08:30 |
| Laser_away | I was wondering what the server requirements would be | 08:30 |
| ogra | the above numbers are the bare minimum ... | 08:31 |
| ogra | (i guess 1ghz with 20 clients wont be fun :) ) | 08:31 |
| cbx33 | ogra, we had 9 clients on a Dell D600 laptop | 08:32 |
| Laser_away | but a new server ( > 2GHz anyway) with 2-4GB RAM would probably work for 10 clients? | 08:32 |
| ogra | all running firefox and openoffice ? | 08:32 |
| ogra | Laser_away, easily | 08:32 |
| Laser_away | cool | 08:33 |
| cbx33 | ogra, most of them | 08:33 |
| cbx33 | slowed down a little when 3-4 loaded tuxmath | 08:33 |
| Laser_away | so do would apps that use opengl work as well on a thin client setup? | 08:34 |
| ogra | nope | 08:35 |
| cbx33 | blender dies | 08:35 |
| ogra | you need to twiddle a bit and get them running locally on the client | 08:35 |
| ogra | cbx33, only if you render | 08:35 |
| cbx33 | local apps ogra ? | 08:35 |

| lucasvo | HedgeMage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuJournal | 08:41 |
| lucasvo | and http://wservices.ch/~lucas/ablage/Journal.png | 08:41 |
| lucasvo | what scale? | 08:42 |
| lucasvo | Burgwork: of course it scales | 08:42 |
| lucasvo | it's a TTF font | 08:42 |
| Burgwork | can you freely redistribute the font? | 08:42 |
| lucasvo | yes | 08:42 |
| lucasvo | Burgwork: what font would you use? | 08:43 |
| Burgwork | I would use the default Ubuntu font | 08:43 |
| Burgwork | for better or worse, it is our branding | 08:43 |
| lucasvo | I already use the emblem, so why use the ubuntu logo as well | 08:44 |
| Burgwork | there are lots of other places we can make the journal rock, without resorting to changing the font of the logo | 08:44 |
| lucasvo | I don't think it's necessary to leave the ubuntulogo untuched | 08:44 |
| HedgeMage | I wouldn't say it's ugly, but it's a bit hard to read and doesn't really mesh with the other stuff (i.e. it may look out of place) | 08:44 |
| lucasvo | btw, where can I get the "ubuntu font"? | 08:45 |
| HedgeMage | just another unsolicited, non-expert opinion btw :) | 08:45 |
| Burgwork | it is called ubuntutitle I think | 08:45 |
| Burgwork | it is in universe | 08:45 |
| lucasvo | Burgwork: do you think that's better: http://wservices.ch/~lucas/ablage/UbuntuJournal.png | 08:49 |
| HedgeMage | lucasvo: mind if I have a peek? or should I leave you two alone? | 08:49 |
| lucasvo | no, your opinion is welcome | 08:49 |
| lucasvo | HedgeMage: what do you think in general about the idea? | 08:50 |
| HedgeMage | of doing an "ubuntu journal" ? I think it's very cool *if* we can avoid the trap other distros tend to fall into of making it something interesting only to developers/power-users instead of the whole community | 08:51 |
| cbx33 | HedgeMage, agreed | 08:51 |
| === cbx33 gets ready to throw his 2cents in | ||
| HedgeMage | (Gentoo being the exception because developers and power users ARE their whole community, so you can't really fault them LOL) | 08:52 |
| ogra | HedgeMage, that was the initial idea of the fridge | 08:52 |
| cbx33 | tbh, i think that getting a whole page mockup would be very beneficial | 08:52 |
| cbx33 | we can worry about fonts later :0 | 08:52 |
| === cbx33 notices the deadly silence | ||
| cbx33 | did i hit someone with my coins | 08:56 |
| HedgeMage | cbx33: hit someone with coins? huh? | 08:57 |
| Laser_away | I don't really understand how it would work | 08:57 |
| Laser_away | how is it different than fridge/planet? | 08:58 |
| HedgeMage | ogra: the fridge is cool, and *I* read it, but people like my mom (somewhat-reformed technophobe) will be much more comfortable with a familiar format like a magazine, especially if it's offered in print form | 08:58 |

| cbx33 | HedgeMage, I agree | 08:59 |
| cbx33 | much as I love online material | 08:59 |
| cbx33 | I love having a printed thing to stick in my bag to read when in car/train etc | 09:00 |
| Laser_away | ok, and so how is this paid for? people by the magazine from lulu? | 09:00 |
| HedgeMage | If something will appeal to me and my mom (opposite ends of the spectrum as far as techie comfort/knowledge) it'll appeal to 90% of our user base :) | 09:00 |
| cbx33 | HedgeMage, agreed | 09:00 |
| cbx33 | Laser_away, well, there was the talk of advertising, (unconfirmed) | 09:01 |
| HedgeMage | (It's an especially apt comparison for Edubuntu since she's been a school teacher for just over 25 years) | 09:01 |

| cbx33 | heheh | 09:14 |
| HedgeMage | BTW, I was officially talked into throwing a Dapper release day party, so anyone interested in a hot tub / pool party in the Olympia, WA area give me a buzz | 09:15 |
| HedgeMage | (USA) | 09:15 |
| Burgwork | hmm, might have to fly down | 09:16 |
| HedgeMage | you would be very welcome! | 09:16 |
| Laser_away | I'd have to fly up | 09:16 |
| HedgeMage | if we have Laser_away you could do that, too ;) | 09:17 |
| HedgeMage | ack | 09:17 |
| HedgeMage | Burgwork: you can come if Laser_away isn't there | 09:17 |
| HedgeMage | I started to type "If we have enough people to eat it, I'm making an Edubuntu cake" | 09:18 |
| crimsun | I'd have to fly around the world | 09:18 |
| HedgeMage | my delete key failed me :P | 09:18 |

| highvoltage | between cbx33 and i, we'll definately have it sorted out before the end of the weekend | 10:00 |

| highvoltage | ogra: so it will be bright and colourful again before release for sure | 10:00 |

| mhz | cbx33, any ideas where we can get a whole list of eduapps installed by default? | 10:25 |
| cbx33 | mhz, most of them should be in the ESA | 10:26 |
| mhz | oh, okis | 10:26 |
| mhz | most or all? | 10:26 |
| ogra | he'll attend paris and lists "lstp, edubuntu, ubuntu, GNOME" as his interests | 10:26 |
| cbx33 | should be all | 10:26 |
| cbx33 | who is he? | 10:26 |
| LaserJock | we should have a list of all edu apps in Ubuntu and have them catagorized somehow | 10:27 |
| ogra | no idea | 10:27 |
| ogra | i just discovered him on the attendees page | 10:27 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, the ESA should help with that, but a broader one would help | 10:27 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: I think a troll through Universe would be good :-) | 10:27 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, yes | 10:28 |
| cbx33 | a fantastic and totally time worthy idea | 10:28 |
| LaserJock | I had to do that for MOTU Science | 10:28 |
| LaserJock | ~ 450 packages | 10:28 |
| cbx33 | would be a great addition to the Edubuntu site | 10:28 |
| cbx33 | roll on MOTU Edu | 10:28 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: then I made a list tiber.tauware.de/~laserjock/all_list.html | 10:29 |
| cbx33 | they are all science | 10:29 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: i also think LTSPHowTo was Jelkner or Collin Applegate | 10:29 |
| cbx33 | WOW imagine how many edu ones ther eare | 10:29 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: right, but I could do one for edu too ;-) | 10:29 |

| highvoltage | cbx33: that page can be deleted | 10:31 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: it describes how to install from ltsp.org tarball | 10:31 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: not how it should be done | 10:31 |
| LaserJock | ok, this is kind of a stupid question, but what would be the best resource for an admin looking into Edubuntu/LTSP? | 10:32 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: what do you mean? LTSP specifically? | 10:33 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: i suppose that the cookbook would be the resource, specifically | 10:33 |
| === mhz phone :( | ||
| highvoltage | LaserJock: there's http://www.edubuntu.org/thinclientconfig for thin client setting tuning. that's being included with the edubuntu docs on the cd | 10:35 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: I think mostly LTSP, I got the department admin interested but he doesn't know anything about LTSP but wants to try it out on a spare computer | 10:35 |
| highvoltage | ltsp generally works out of the box if the default installation is chosen | 10:35 |
| pygi | ogra, will you be able to write those two articles or should we do it? | 10:35 |
| highvoltage | which is more or less described at http://www.edubuntu.org/gettingstarted | 10:36 |
| ogra | highvoltage, i updated the screenshots in the edubuntu-docs package | 10:36 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: i think we probably need to have an "LTSP howto" for a machine that was originally installed as a standalone machine | 10:36 |
| highvoltage | ogra: thanks! | 10:36 |
| highvoltage | ogra: can you upload them to your people space so that i can update them? | 10:37 |
| ogra | and ripped out the lts.conf from gettingstarted and instead added a link to the thinclientconfig | 10:37 |
| highvoltage | sorry... being silly... i can just get them from the doc package | 10:37 |
| highvoltage | ogra: nice | 10:37 |
| ogra | just apt-get source edubuntu-docs | 10:37 |
| highvoltage | i'll have to do that saturday morning. | 10:37 |
| highvoltage | my cell phone bill is killing me this month | 10:37 |
| ogra | the lts.conf from gettingstarted was really an old one :) | 10:38 |
| sbartleylinux | yep :) | 10:38 |
| ogra | note that i indexed all pics to 255 colors, that decreases the size by 2 third and you dont see any difference | 10:38 |
| ogra | the current edubuntu-docs package is ~220k big (including all screenshots) | 10:39 |
| LaserJock | ogra: is edubuntu-docs online somewhere? | 10:40 |
| ogra | my only prob is that we only have 288k left on i386 and i still hadn't the balls to just try if it fts | 10:40 |
| ogra | *fits | 10:40 |
| ogra | LaserJock, apt-get source edubuntu-docs | 10:40 |
| LaserJock | ogra: no, I mean ubuntu-docs is also built as html and put on doc.ubuntu.com | 10:41 |
| ogra | ah, no | 10:41 |
| LaserJock | ok, np, I just wondered | 10:41 |

| highvoltage | ogra: excellent :) (the image shrinking) | 10:42 |
| ogra | btw, html in yelp looks awful, somehow yelp thinks it needs to exchange sans with nimbus sans | 10:42 |
| highvoltage | ogra: to be safe, it might be possible to remove an image or two and just describe the screen in text? | 10:43 |
| highvoltage | ew. i don't know yelp. i wander why it would do that? | 10:43 |
| highvoltage | btw- does anyone know what OWA stands for in Ubuntu? | 10:43 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, is there any documentation that describes the ltsp client id handling in ubuntu ltsp? i.e. under ltsp.org, it uses ws001 in lts.conf and hosts and if static ip is used, in dhcpd.conf. The client then has the id of ws001. how is this done in ubuntu ltsp? | 10:43 |
| LaserJock | ogra: so are the docs in html or xml? | 10:43 |
| ogra | highvoltage, i'd rather have some spare space | 10:43 |
| ogra | LaserJock, html currently | 10:44 |
| LaserJock | ogra: hmm, the doc team shipped html for some time and it looked ok I think, I wonder if the css was different or something | 10:44 |
| ogra | sbartleylinux, not at all, since its not really needed, our aim is to aoutomate it all with no need for manual dns setups if possible | 10:45 |
| ogra | might be | 10:45 |
| ogra | i just used the css from the browser page (which is a generic ubuntu one with some color changes) | 10:45 |
| ogra | i think its a fontconfig prob | 10:46 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, k. so, then how is printing supposed to work? My understanding of the ltsp.org is that you put ws001 in /etc/hosts with the ip associated to that ws. Thus when you config a printer, say using cups, you point to socket://ws001:9100 | 10:50 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, what designates the ws name to the ip association to the printer port association? | 10:51 |
| ogra | hmm, optimal would be if it would pick the ip from the users environment automatically | 10:51 |
| ogra | no idea, thats an #ltsp feature | 10:51 |
| sbartleylinux | So, there is no intent to configure that functionality into dapper ltsp? | 10:53 |
| sbartleylinux | I thought there was. | 10:53 |
| mhz | hmm, how is one supposed to run moodle in Edubuntu? | 10:54 |
| mhz | Ohh, TuxMath via LTSP is tooooooooooo slooooooow | 10:55 |
| ogra | sbartleylinux, i have about 30mins to upload changes to dapper | 10:55 |
| ogra | i doubt i'll find the fix in that time | 10:55 |
| ogra | i promise i'll look into it and document the right way asap | 10:56 |
| ogra | but i doubt if there has to be done anything to the package that we can do it | 10:56 |
| bimberi | highvoltage: Outlook Web Access | 10:56 |
| sbartleylinux | ogra, k. When can I talk with you about this? This appears to be the final piece of our solution that is still broken and is critical to our ability to use the ubuntu ltsp solution. | 10:59 |
| sbartleylinux | I know you are busy today but if we could talk sometime this week that would be great. | 10:59 |
