pygiwhat's up highvoltage ? :)01:51
yvesCogra, yes01:58
yvesCi found the tuxpaint locale: the language-pack-fr was not installed.01:59
ograyvesC, the tuxpaint locale should be in language-pack-fr-base, right02:00
yvesCyes. in fact none of them was installed. 02:00
ograwe only have space for english on the CD, sorry for that, but 700MB are 700MB :)02:00

pygiogra, we shall make it 703MB :P02:00
ograpygi, !!02:01
yvesCI installed without connection, and when i connect and make the upgrade, the missing locale where not selected.02:01
ograloing time no see02:01
pygiogra, indeed :)02:01
yvesCDo you know pysycache? It's mouse software for kids. 02:01
ograyvesC, well, you are asked in the installer if you want to install them, and you have a language selector in your system menu that cares for installation of them02:01
ograeither of them works02:02
DanielCIs it safe to run `rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb` ?02:02
ograDanielC, no02:02
DanielC:(02:02
yvesCpysycache.org02:02
ograDanielC, sudo apt-cache clean02:02
ograthats what you want ;)02:02
DanielCThanks.02:02
DanielC:)02:02
yvesCI don't see any question about locale during installation process02:02
ograit asks if you want to install language support 02:03
ogra(since most users wouldnt know what "locale" means)02:03
ograif you say yes there, it will at least install the language package for the language you are doing the install in02:04
yvesCi did not see any question about language during the two install i made recently.02:04
yvesCI will check: i have another install to do.02:04
DanielCUbuntu's apt-cache doesn't have a "clean" command. It says `Invalid operation clean`02:05
ograhmm, did you select french in the beginning of the install ? 02:05
yvesCyes, of course02:05
ograDanielC, err, sorry apt-get02:05

ograseems i just muddled it because both of your names start with Y02:07
yvesCyou get the debian version, or the thomas version?02:07
yvesCno problem.02:08
ograi have to take the debian version02:08
yvesCi am not sure debian has the patch you get to reduce size.02:08
ograit hasnt02:08

jsgotangcoheh give him the flat files02:14
ograyvesC, package it or find a motu in #ubuntu-motu who is intrested02:14
ograyvesC, new packages need two creoss reviews from two maintainers, feel free to poke me to get a positive review :)02:15
ograjsgotangco, thats what i did ;)02:15

pygiogra, so you are giving away positive reviews now? :P02:17
jsgotangcowhatever i do, packaging still is a dark art for me02:17
jsgotangcoi can package but not properly for some reason02:17
ograits a matter of practice, nothing more :)02:17

ograpygi, sure, for good packages i do ... for bad ones i help to get them good02:18
ograpygi, btw what about SCP02:18
pygiwhat do you mean? Have you got any discussion about it in Paris or?02:18
ograwe'll have distro team meeting in ~2h and i have to commit to specs i will implement ...02:18
ograindeed we had02:19

ograi knoe cbx33 is eager to help02:19
ogra*know02:19
=== pygi looks it
pygiyup, I know he wants to help02:20
ograpygi, i'd be happy to just implement patches you guys produce but mdz marked it as high prio, so i think its required that a main dev at lest coordinates the development ... (i'll ask in the meeting)02:20
pygiogra, no worries, you will be coordinating all anyway :P02:21
ograwell, i didnt see it as high prio thats why i offered it to you guys in first place ;) ltsp-manager for example can easily be community implemented because its low prio02:22
ograbut the high tasks need to be ready and stable for release *in any case*02:22
pygiogra, ah, we will have a listener?02:24
DanielCAre DVD images identical to CDROM images? (e.g. if I have an ISO image that won't fit on a CD, can I burn it on a DVD and have it work?)02:24
ograDanielC, the dvd contains both isos and the whole package set from "supported"02:25
ograand yes, you can burn CD isos on DVDs02:25
DanielCthanks02:25
ogra(in fact thats what i'mm doing for testing)02:25
DanielCok02:25
pygiogra, what I can promise you is that I will try to implement as much as I can and as much as (free)  time permits02:28
ograthen i'd say you, cbx33 and me build a team and each of us implements one feature :)02:28
ograbzr is great for that02:28
jsgotangcoyeah02:29
jsgotangcowe love it (g-a-i team)02:29
ograyeah02:29
pygiogra, I get the plugins =P02:29

ograi take whats left :)02:29
ograso cbx33 can choose :)02:29
jsgotangcois it really hard?02:30
pygibut we have more then 3 tasks, so ah well :)02:30
ogranah, its not to hard02:30
ograthe "killing processes" feature is really trivial for example02:30
ograit only needs some python glue between already existing elements02:30
jsgotangcoi will branch to the mainline then and just see how it goes02:31
ograthe vnc stuff is rather advanced02:31
ogra(note that the spec is not approved yet, stuff might still change depending on the reviewers)02:31
ogra(but note as well that i dont expect many deep changes)02:32

highvoltagepips1: got your jabber message04:17
kihaiHi there, hope anyone  can help me here: I want to set a German keyboard layout in lts.conf, but XKBMODEL = de doesn't work. Did I make a spelling mistake (like XkbModel or something) ?04:17
DanielCI've had the same problem as kihai (using British keyboards). I got around it by running `xmodmap -pke > .Xmodmap` on the server and putting that on every user's home.04:20
DanielCBut this isn't an ideal solution. It should work with lts.conf04:20
DanielC(e.g. when you type the login password you're using the wrong keymap)04:21
kihaiOn the german channel someone just said to use XKBLAYOUT instead of XKBMODEL, but it doesn't work either. Do I have to restart the SErver or something?04:21
pips1kihai, are you sure that 'de' is the right value for German?04:22
ograit is04:22
ograworks fine here04:22
ograpaste your lts.conf to a pastebin ... i'll look after the distro meeting04:23

DanielCSure didn't work for me...04:24
kihaiThanks, ogra! Jetzt seh ich erst, dass Du in beiden Channels aktiv bist! :)04:24

kihaiOK, but now here's my next prob: When I klick on the logout button on a client, there's the option to go to suspend mode, which will send the server(!) in suspend mode. And I guess that's neither intended nor do I want it to be like that...I tried the user profile editor sabayon, but apparently there's no option to switch this off04:27
