divansantanaHey everyone!01:15
divansantanaI was wondering if anyone here knows how to simply VNC to LTSP users desktop?01:15
divansantanaI know kde can have vnc session running but prob is how do you specify to vnc to which desktop because there could be 21 VNC sessions running on a Linux terminal server becuase of 21 users for exampe01:17

mhzjsgotangco: let's say I make edubuntu-latino (2 light desktops + edubuntu apps + LTSP + latinamerican artwork)05:34
jsgotangcoand?05:35
mhzjsgotangco: would that mean I only need edubuntu-server only + the stuff I aforementioned?05:35
jsgotangcoumm its a bit more complex than that05:36
mhzor, each edubuntu app has been compiled with some diff specs?05:36
jsgotangcoyou will have to make your own seeds05:36
jsgotangcohmm wonder if that's a good idea (seeds)05:36
mhzseeds are not good idea now05:37
jsgotangcobasically you build on top of a standard ubuntu install05:38
jsgotangcoi think janimo is the best guy to ask05:38
jsgotangcohe's a really nice guy in real life05:38
mhzhehehe05:38

mhzwell, I will try this (may change it later but...):05:39
jsgotangcoit can be a nice learning experience as well, making your own derivative05:39
mhzdsslive framework would give me a ubuntu-core squeleton only05:39
mhzonce i get that, I have to apt get install whatever I want05:40
mhzand then run a couple of scripts05:40
mhzand that is it05:40
jsgotangcoyeah05:40
mhzso, my doubts were regarding those apt-get installs05:40
mhzjsgotangco: well, thx05:45
mhzyou cleared my mind05:46
mhzoh, but then, if I only have to apt-get install edubuntu-server + edubuntu apps (no edubuntu-desktop because it would give me GNOME)05:47
mhzI need no seed, right?05:47

DanielCI need to talk to someone, get some opinions. For example, this user guide is in OpenDocument format, not DocBook. So we need to think about what to do (e.g. leave them in their current format and add a menu entry from OOo).01:22

sbalneavMorning ogra rodarvus03:20
DanielCIs there a way to reset the MySQL root password?03:21
rodarvussbalneav, hi there03:21
DanielCProvided that you have Unix root access.03:21
rodarvusDanielC, (late response to the OOo guide) I suggest we leave it in OpenDocument format03:21
rodarvussince it is the native format of OpenOffice.org itself03:22
DanielCrodarvus: Ok.03:22
rodarvusand likely won't be maintained by us03:22
DanielCrodarvus: That sounds like a good idea. At least for the time being.03:22
rodarvusif desired, it is trivial to even add a OOo menu item to open the guide03:22
DanielCThat would be great (adding an OOo menu). I tried to figure out how to do it, but couldn't.03:23
DanielCI'm sure it's just one of those menu.xml files.03:23
DanielCrodarvus: Are you involved in either the Documentation project or the OOo package?03:24
rodarvusDanielC, I was an OpenOffice.org developer in a past life03:25
rodarvus(actually, I developed a derivative of OOo for almost two years)03:25
DanielCCool. Few people outside Sun ever manage to make sense of OOo's codebase ;-)03:25
rodarvusyes, its a long learning path03:26
rodarvusour team was made of 9 (good) programmers, which I hired very carefully03:26
rodarvusit basically took all of them two months to be productive03:27
DanielCWhat was that derivative called? What did it do?03:27
rodarvusFreeOffice03:27
DanielCI haven't heard of it. It might have been before I got involved in OOo.03:28
rodarvusit has improved spell checker and grammar checker, native support for VBA macros, support to MS Access documents, and hundreds of small features to make it look like MS Office :)03:28
DanielCThat's impressive. Those are things that the current OOo hasn't managed.03:28
=== bluekuja [n=andrea@ubuntu/member/bluekuja] has joined #edubuntu
rodarvusright, and "look like ms office" is surely not one of the main targets of OpenOffice.org03:29
rodarvusthe main target of this project was to make a seasoned MS Office user able to use FreeOffice without any training03:29
DanielCYes, and IMO I don't think it should be. But compatibility is high on the agenda.03:29
rodarvusDanielC, btw, what is your name?03:30
DanielCDaniel Carrera03:30
rodarvushah!03:30
rodarvusI know who you are :)03:30
DanielC:)03:30
DanielCWhat's your name? Have we met at OOo?03:30
rodarvusno, I haven't had the chance to go to any OOo conference03:31
DanielCok03:31
rodarvusand pretty much left the OOo community since I left this job :/03:31
DanielCWell, I'm not really involved in OOo anymore. I found it was too much trouble.03:31
rodarvusits very time consuming03:32
DanielCI found that getting the leads to accept my work was a lot more difficult than doing the work itself.03:32
rodarvuswhen the other developers on our team became productive, I basically had to stop programming myself, to integrate all their code, and OOo itself on our codebase03:33
DanielCI didn't just "quit" overnight, but I sort of drifted into other things slowly.03:33
rodarvusone thing that was quite sad was that some of the features worked inside Sun were not public to the community03:33
rodarvusso we lost a few manmonths doing stuff that suddenly appeared in the source code03:34
DanielCoh... :(03:34
DanielCYeah, that's not a good way to work in a FOSS project.03:34
rodarvusI believe some/most of this is solved, past 2.0 (since they want to go for time based releases)03:34

sbalneavWell, no need to rush into that.  If you could just point me at the sequence of commands.  I'd like to learn how you're doing it now, so that full grokking and enlightenment may be obtained on my part.04:19
ograyou can build it manually with: fakeroot debian/rules binary04:19

rodarvusactually, don't expect Edgy to work at this time :)04:37
ograKamping_Kaiser, i wouldnt run edgy yet04:37
rodarvusits supposed to be quite broken for the next weeks04:37
Kamping_Kaiserogra, i see ;)04:37
ograsbartleylinux, nope, not yet, but he has many questions, so we can trade them ;)04:38
Kamping_Kaiseri'm aware its supposed to break, its the fun of it. i was just wondering if jumbo top bars were part of the deal :)04:38
jsgotangcorodarvus: are you taking over xorg?04:38
ogra(sorry, i'm particulary busy with merges so i'm not watching IRC often atm)04:38
rodarvusjsgotangco, "taking over" is an exageration :)04:38
rodarvusI'll help sync our X packages with debian's04:38
rodarvusand hopefully, later update it to 7.104:39
Kamping_Kaiser:)04:39
rodarvusfunny thing is, infinity left for vacation today04:39
jsgotangcoyeah04:39
rodarvusand fabbione will likely do the same in the next few days :)04:39
jsgotangcoi was talking to fabbione a few hours ago and said he's not maintaining it anymore =)04:39
rodarvusother devs I've poked at didn't bothered much about X04:40
jsgotangcoso welcome our new xorg overlord04:40
rodarvusglup04:40
Kamping_Kaiserhehe04:40
jsgotangcorodarvus: just to let you know i did a bunch of bug rejects today...mostly old, unmaintained bug reports04:40
=== Kamping_Kaiser updates his systm to a less stable version of edgy as we speak - dont forget to take the moral high ground later folk ;)
rodarvusjsgotangco, I've seen it, thanks :)04:41
rodarvusjsgotangco, do you know if there is any other QA person triaging X bugs?04:41
jsgotangconope people fear it04:41
jsgotangcoi the only community guy who seems to do it04:42
rodarvusbtw, I'll /query you so we don't spam #edubuntu04:42
jsgotangcozakame is doing his SoC project so he hasn't been visible for a while04:42
rodarvusI'm looking for highvoltage, but he went offline a few hours ago04:45
rodarvusdid he told anyone if he plans to come back online today?04:45
sbartleylinuxogra: k.  This is becoming a priority for us.  We only have about two weeks left before we go to alpha on our project.04:45
sbartleylinuxogra: np. please let me know if there is work we can do to help with this.  I will pull our developers in to help.04:47

RobinShepheardhiya LaserJock 05:51
LaserJockhi  RobinShepheard 05:52
RobinShepheardI maybe mad I know but in attempt to understand the full edubuntu/ubuntu system I have just nuked my laptop and have built debian system on it05:53
LaserJockhehe05:53
RobinShepheardit has provided me with a chance to get into some of the nitty gritty of the system that is hidden byt edubuntu/ubuntu05:53
RobinShepheardsuch as intel wireless cards :(05:53
RobinShepheardtook several hours to get that working properly05:54
LaserJockheh05:54
RobinShepheardhow does edubuntu/ubuntu handle things like that, is it a case of the modules being built automagically, where as on debian they have to be done by hand05:55
RobinShepheardare they even the same modules or do we have a custom version??05:56
LaserJocknot sure05:56
RobinShepheardI am not sure where to look to find out either05:56
LaserJockI'm guessing in the kernel package ;-)05:57
RobinShepheardgiven the development model, would these questions be better aimed at the ubuntu lists do you reckon05:57
LaserJockhmm, you might try ubuntu-user if you do05:58
RobinShepheardhmm not a bad plan. I just decided while I can use the system with few problems, I would like to understand it better so that I can do more05:59
RobinShepheardeg how the whole thing is put together05:59
RobinShepheardthen maybe I can help with the development a bit06:00
RobinShepheardrather than just stand on the side lines so to speak06:00
LaserJockgood idea06:00
RobinShepheardI thought so, and I figured as the underlying system is debian, I would start there and work up06:01
LaserJockI usually just learn by digging in, I have given up on the idea that I can know how my computer works from the ground up :-)06:01
RobinShepheardfair point, I was just thinking of the interaction in the os itself, eg bits like the modules and stuff06:02
RobinShepheardand how the installer works06:02
LaserJockgo for it! I wish I had time to do that more06:03
RobinShepheardwell, I am sort of tying it into work, as I am, with the bosses approval, looking at a migration from windoze to linux06:04
RobinShepheardso some reseach time and a few of the books are on them06:04
LaserJockthat's the way to do it06:05
RobinShepheardwell i DO try06:05
RobinShepheardoh and I am also trying to move flats at the mo, so I am not around as much as usual06:06
RobinShepheardI have to wait for internet to be connected at the new flat06:07

jsgotangcomvo and glatzor mostly, i just send useless patches06:24
LaserJockI'm liking it more and more every day06:24
jsgotangcowe work on it in a bzr mainline but branch as well06:24
jsgotangcothat's nice to know06:25
LaserJockif only I could code, I'd have so much fun working on these things ;-)06:25
RobinShepheardI got to go, see you all around sometime06:25
jsgotangcoheh its the reverse on my side, i could code (not great though), but i can barely make a proper package heh06:26
jsgotangcoits mostly python and glade work06:26
LaserJockcool, I'm a big python+glade fan06:26
jsgotangcobzr has been great help on it06:27
LaserJockyeah? pete and I have been using bzr for the gisomount thing. very nice06:28
jsgotangcoyeah the actually app has already 300+ revisions so it can be a bit slow sometimes especially using the visualization tool06:29
LaserJockyeah, that's really my only complaint with bzr, it's not as fast as I'd like it to be06:29
jsgotangcohttps://launchpad.net/products/gnome-app-install/+branches06:30
LaserJockheh06:31
LaserJocklove the branch name ;-)06:31
LaserJockor I guess that's the author06:31
jsgotangcothe new one for edgy will be using popcon data =D06:33
LaserJockhmmm06:33
LaserJockdo we have much of any popcon data yet?06:34
jsgotangcoits been running for quite a while so i guess yes06:34
LaserJockwe really should use it better06:34
jsgotangcoits installed by default but not activated06:34
LaserJockright06:34
jsgotangcoso we will probably ask people to activate if if the want to06:34
LaserJockit'd be nice to have a popup after install or something that offers to activate06:34
LaserJockbecause I'm guess the percentage of people who even know about it is quite small and biased towards more advanced users06:35
jsgotangcoi dunno the strategy for that yet but we all have it in our computers at the moment so its just a matter of turning them on with the user's knowledge06:37
jsgotangcoand consent06:37
jsgotangcoawww geeezzz and i though germany was bound to lose06:38

DanielCQuestion: What's your role in Ubuntu?11:24
DanielCI'm still trying to learn the cast...11:24
LaserJockhehe11:25
LaserJockthat's a cool way of putting it11:25
DanielC:)11:25
crimsunhuge cast.11:25
crimsun6 billion cast members.11:25
DanielCI'll start with Ubuntu members ;-)11:26
LaserJockit's kind of odd when community people are involved, in the corporate world you get a job title :-)11:28
HedgeMageI'm mostly focused on cookbook right now but I plan to take on some dev stuff once cookbook is in shape11:28
DanielCYou can still say "I usually work documentation"...11:28
DanielCHedgeMage: Ok, thanks.11:29
crimsundocumentation is sorely overlooked and just about the most critical part of the distro11:29
DanielCI'd love to contribute to documentation, but I'm too over committed. I'm committed to the OpenDocument Fellowship...11:29
DanielCWhile we're on the topic of documentation, I have this idea of adding an OpenOffice.org user guide to Ubuntu.11:30
DanielCThe OOoAuthors team (http://oooauthors.org) has written some.11:30
DanielCDisclaimer: I founded this project, so I'm biased.11:30
crimsunif you could help integrate/expand with example-content, that would rock11:31
LaserJockyeah11:31
DanielCI'm trying to figure out if/how this could be added to Ubuntu.11:31
DanielC(the OOo user guides... they're very good...)11:31
DanielCI'm hoping to find someone who can discuss this idea with me. Maybe someone from the documentation project.11:32
crimsun-> LaserJock 11:33
crimsun#ubuntu-doc, too.11:33
DanielCI didn't get a lot of response at #ubuntu-doc...11:33
DanielCLaserJock, are you the documentation guy here?11:33
crimsunone of several iirc11:34
LaserJockoh sorry11:34
LaserJockhmm11:34
DanielCThe OOo user guide is in OpenDocument format.11:35
LaserJockthere's no inherent reason why docs *can't* be included11:35
LaserJockit's a matter of finding the right place, I think11:35
DanielCThese guides are very good, really :)  They went through an amazing review process guided by some expert tech editors.11:35
LaserJockand they aren't included with OOo itself?11:36
DanielCFYI: http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/11:36
DanielCNo, they aren't.11:36
DanielCOOo only comes with its Help system.11:36
DanielCI was thinking that we should have packages in Universr like 'openoffice.org-starter-guide' and 'openoffice.org-writer-guide'.11:37
LaserJockthat's kinda what I was thinking11:37
DanielCRight now there are 3 published guides: Getting started; Writer guide; Drawing guide.11:37
DanielC:)11:37
DanielCI'm happy to learn how to make .deb files and maintain the package if that would help.11:38
LaserJockhmm, looks like quite a bit of content11:38
DanielCEach guide is a medium-sized book.11:39
LaserJockhmm, what would be cool is to package those up and then have a pointer to them in the Example Content11:39
DanielCWhat is "Example content"? A directory on the Live CD? A website?11:40
LaserJockit's a new package that was introduced in Dapper11:41
DanielCOk.11:41
LaserJockit is a folder that has example content for various media formats11:41
LaserJockthere is a link to it on a new users Desktop11:41
DanielCThat does sound like a good idea. If you want examples of OpenDocument files...11:41
DanielCOk, I know which one you're talking about now.11:41
DanielCI would do cartwheels if these guides made them to the Live CD under Example Content.11:42
DanielCThat would be just awesome.11:42
LaserJockwell, I'm not sure if the can go in there directly since it would be a lot of space11:43
DanielCYes. The Getting Started Guide is almost 10MB uncompressed.11:43
LaserJockbut I'm sure it can be noted in there at least, or perhaps having a sample page11:43
DanielCThe Writer guide is bigger.11:43
DanielCMaybe include *only* the Getting started guide. That's where new users would start anyways, and it introduces a bit of everything.11:44
LaserJockwell, the LiveCD is already strained for space and the package would have to be in Main11:44
DanielCI see.11:44
LaserJockbut you should definately talk to Henrik about it11:44
DanielCWho is Henrik? How do I reach him?11:45
LaserJockDanielC: https://launchpad.net/people/henrik and he does the example content11:46
DanielCOk, I'll talk to him.11:46
LaserJockDanielC: but for sure we can make a Universe package for edgy11:46
DanielCAnd who would I talk to about including them in Universe?11:46
LaserJockme ;-)11:46
DanielC:-D11:46
