_deweyare questions about installing edubuntu allowed here???05:17
crimsunsure05:18
bimberi_dewey: absolutely! hopefully someone can help out :)05:19
Burgundavia_dewey: this is not a channel about edubuntu ;)05:20
_deweyI have downloaded and installed twice. I get only command line, not gui on installing. get gui from livecd. what am i doing wrong05:20
bimberieek, 81 seconds lag :/05:21
bimberi_dewey: probably nothing, possibly an issue with graphics drivers05:24
_deweyok, thanks. I have another video board or another computer. I'll try again. Thanks again05:25
bimberi_dewey: try booting (to the text mode), logging in and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'05:25
_deweyok, I'll try ;that first05:25
bimberi_dewey: righto, that will ask lots of questions, the defaults are usually pretty good05:26
bimberi_dewey: once it finishes, try a 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' and see if it gets the gui working05:26
_deweyok thanks, I'll try  both  but must wait till morning. bedtime here in east texas.  thanks agian.05:28
bimberi_dewey: np, sleep well :)05:29

cbx33ok guys got a question for you09:07
cbx33is it normal for firefox to ignore a link to a file:/// if the page is contained on a web server09:07
cbx33if the page is a local file, then it works fine09:08
jsgotangcoi believe it assumes its a local file, not a file contained within a webserver and waits for http instead09:18

jsgotangcothese are usual starting points to those new t the project10:59
ajayccand i wanna make BIG name among the community :D10:59
jsgotangcoajaycc: it shouldn't be YOUR primary motive though10:59
ajayccsure11:00
cbx33pygi: is there a way I can use slashes in a menuitem?11:00
ajaycci was kidding11:00
pygicbx33, oki, I'll try to take on my task as soon as possible11:00
cbx33it screws it up cos it thinks it's part of the path11:00
jsgotangcoajaycc: you can contribute wallpapers and stuff11:00
cbx33pygi: I suppose Ishould start thinking - I don;t want the impossible one11:00
pygicbx33, :P11:00

jsgotangcoajaycc: there's a live CD11:05
ajayccjsgotangco: sure i will be there11:05
jsgotangcobut only for workstation11:05
ajayccjsgotangco: the cd i got is installation only11:05
ajayccsome mistake i guess11:05
jsgotangcoajaycc: it doesn't really make sense performance-wise to have an ltsp livecd11:05
jsgotangcono its meant to be11:05
pygicbx33, yes, you do one more task, and ogra does the rest :P11:05
ajayccjsgotangco: that is fine was just curios11:05
jsgotangcoedubuntu, first and foremost, is  a server solution11:06
ajayccyeah11:06
pygicbx33, tho,I'll help once I'm done with plugin stuff11:06
cbx33pygi: plugin stuff shouldn't be too difficult should it?11:06
cbx33just need some kind of small API right?11:07
ajaycci am gonna install ubuntu, kubuntu and edubntu on my lappy seperately11:07
jsgotangcoajaycc: if you have a spare machine, you might want to play around with the server stuff, its really nice and shiny11:07
cbx33what about xubuntu?11:07
ajaycci already got that11:07
pygicbx33, nop, shouldn't be too difficult, that's why I said I'll help ogra on other taks as well11:07
ajayccjsgotangco: i aint got extra machine :(11:07
ajayccso gotta play with my lappy11:07
cbx33I'll help out on what ever I can, may need a bit of help sometimes pygi 11:07
cbx33ajaycc: how fast is the lappy11:08
cbx33you could always use vmware11:08
ajaycccant man11:08

pygicbx33, sure, if you gimme url with taks (I forgot it :P)11:09
cbx33ok11:09
cbx33https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StudentControlPanelCompletion11:09

ajayccthey are all mad11:12
ajaycci am convincing our school head to install edubuntu11:12
ajayccbut he wont listen11:12
cbx33cool11:12
ajayccthat git11:12
cbx33aww11:12
cbx33I actually work for a school11:12
cbx33so I may be able to give you some pointers there11:12
cbx33on how to persuade11:12
cbx33we have a linux and windows system here11:12
ajayccnice11:12
ajayccmail me man11:12
ajayccwe got only windows11:12
ajayccand the pc are shit11:12

cbx33who acutally does all the installation11:13
ajayccbut that fool refused11:13
ajaycci will11:13
pygiajaycc, calm down :P11:13
ajayccour teacher knows shit nothing else11:13
ajaycc:)11:13
cbx33is there not an IT team there?11:13
ajayccheh11:13
=== yvesC [n=yves@zenobi.ycombe.net] has joined #edubuntu
ajayccIT team is crap they dunno what is RAID and dunno what linux11:14
cbx33it that case11:14
cbx33that's probably why he doesn't want to move to a linux system11:14
ajayccyeah11:14
cbx33if you're going to be supporting it11:14
cbx33what happens when you leave11:14
cbx33he's left with a good system, but if something goes wrong, limited options to get it fixed11:15
pygiajaycc, what country are you anyway?11:15
ajaycci will stay here man and  i am ready to train a few dingbats11:15
ajayccpygi: India11:15
cbx33plus, the whole teaching curriculum would have to be changed11:15
ajaycccbx33: as it is each an everyday they install winxp cos it crashes everyday11:15
ajaycccbx33: we just learn C++ nothing else11:15
cbx33I'm facing the same issues here11:15
cbx33you actually learn c++ at school?11:15
ajaycci know it others do11:16
cbx33pygi: do we have a bzr url for scp?11:16
ajaycci just sit there glaring at the teacher11:16
pygicbx33, there is official one from ogra, and we should branch from it11:16
ajayccstaring not glaring :)11:16
cbx33pygi: ok grabbing it now11:16
cbx33the one on LP?11:16
ajayccbrb11:17
pygicbx33, yes I believe11:17
cbx33ok11:18
cbx33am grabbing now11:18
cbx33pygi: the annoying thing is11:19
cbx33I want to develop on my laptop11:19
cbx33but I'll need clients logged in etc to do it11:19
jsgotangcocbx33: in most indian schools I know, they teach students to program, nothing more, and most of these students are too poor to buy a computer, so when they go to work, they only know how to program and have no clue in installing an OS...ive encountered such quite a number of times11:27
jsgotangcoamazingly there are some really good programmers that sprang out of it11:27
cbx33jsgotangco: i see11:27
cbx33of course11:27
cbx33everything I learnt was off my own back11:28
jsgotangcowhen i was in hyderabad a few months ago, i even have to teach them how to make partitions11:28
cbx33crikey11:28
jsgotangcoit surprised me as well11:28
jsgotangcoi always get to learn lots of things when i travel and interact with people on technology11:30
cbx33jsgotangco: for me a day isn't worth it unless I've learnt something11:30
jsgotangcooh i learn something everyday no doubt11:30
jsgotangcobut learning from outside is quite different11:31
cbx33true11:31
jsgotangcoand you appreciate the simple things that most people are not able to get or comprehend11:31
cbx33i feel I havn't accomplished anything unless I learn11:31
jsgotangcoin a way, even if its miniscule, im very proud to be involved in ubuntu and has probably made me more fulfilled in life11:32
cbx33me too11:32
cbx33and my contribution is smaller than yours :p11:32
jsgotangcoit has become my vice11:32
jsgotangcoim very thankful for the opportunities the project has given me11:34
cbx33yes11:34
cbx33I love working on *buntu so much11:34
cbx33I'm ever hopeful of working for Canonical one day11:34
jsgotangcoits a nice goal its something i would think of as a bonus if it happened to me11:35

cbx33ok11:39
cbx33if you do 11:39
cbx33if count:11:40
cbx33does it pass if count is only 111:40
cbx33or just anything greater than 011:40
cbx33ok just made one modification11:51
cbx33now I don;t get any errors if I run it without any users being connected11:51
ogracbx33, you got errors ? 12:16
cbx33yeh only one I fixed it if you want a patch12:17
ograi never had any errors 12:17
cbx33or I may be completely wrong12:17
cbx33the populate_procs function12:17
cbx33last 4 lines12:17
cbx33I think should be inside the if indent12:17
cbx33they are only useful if the previous 2 lines are ran anyway12:17
=== ogra installs the package
cbx33it was an uninitialised variable12:18
ograoh, right i get that too 12:19
cbx33it's because the machine I'm running it on has no ltsp server or clients on it12:19
cbx33I have to find a way to setup something so I can develop at home12:19
ograthat'll be hard 12:19
ograthe ltsp connections dont use a login shell via ssh, so you dont have any pty's attached12:19
cbx33I know, but I can't really spend too much time developing here12:20
ograkeep that in mind ..12:20
cbx33work is enveloping me12:20
cbx33I'll have to just setup some vm's somewhere12:20
cbx33only problem is the main machine I'd use for testing has a very.....ooop nevermind I have a brilliant idea :D12:20
cbx33did you get the same error as I?12:21
ograyep12:21
cbx33and does the flag parameter actually do anything?12:22
ograuser referenced before assignment12:22
cbx33it's never returned and from what I can see it's never set when populate_procs is called12:22
cbx33on line 5212:22
ograbut please use try statemanes instead if if statements for such cases where possible12:22
ogra*statements12:22
cbx33you konw I didn;'t write the original right ;P ?12:23
ograno, but if you add such tests, try is the better way ... :)12:23

cbx33ok cool12:42
cbx33hi rodarvus 12:42
ograrodarvus, now i actually have been convinced by fabionne to watch some soccer and your people just loose ... what happened ? that was pretty ppor for .br 12:43
ogra*poor12:43
rodarvusogra, that was the worse football game ever12:44
rodarvusshame on us12:44
rodarvuspraise zidane12:44
ograwell, old farts running after the ball ... your team needs fresh blood12:45
rodarvusI believe the problem was not their ages, but their egos12:45
ograzidane had two or three enlightened moments, but wasnt great either i found ...12:45
ograactually from three games i watched i found none to be world class12:46
bimberiogra: you didn't see any of the Socceroo games then! :P12:46
ograwell, i watched germany<->argentinia ... italy<->ukraine and brazil<->france12:48
ograneither was convincing ...12:48
rodarvusgermany vs argentina was ok12:48
rodarvus"big" teams usually don't play beautiful football when playing against other big teams12:49
ograyes, i didnt say it wasnt ok... but i'd have expected more from a "world championship"12:49
rodarvusit is believed that this could lead to a loss12:49
ograi remember once i was brazil vs someone in a championship while zapping through the channels and i usualy never stop at sports, but it was so entertaining that i couldnt move on :)12:50

cbx33ogra: I can't see the kill button in any of the diffs12:51
ograthere was nothing like that yet in this championship12:51
cbx33I'll just create it 12:51
rodarvusogra, also, most brazilians blame it on the coach+players ego12:51
cbx33:D12:51
cbx33ogra: what's your opinion on the flag parameter I mentioned earlier?12:52
rodarvuswe believe another coach, such as Felipe Scolari (current coach of the Portugal squad) could have made it a completely different team12:52
ogracbx33, we'll need to decide how to implement it in tne ui then ...12:52
cbx33that's what I though12:52
cbx33i think below the process list might be the most sensible place12:52
cbx33then we have consistency with the disconnect button below the users12:52
ograit's placement should visually indicate where it applies to 12:53
ograand not break the design too much ...12:54
bimberirodarvus: that would be in the teams approach wouldn't it?  surely the players wouldn't change much - hi btw :)12:54
cbx33do you not think underneath the process list would?12:54
ograrodarvus, but your coach won several championships already ... i bet he'd be capable :)12:54
ogracbx33, sure i think under the processlist would ;)12:55
cbx33ok cool12:55
rodarvusbimberi, exactly12:56
rodarvusthe main point is that Brazil never played as a "team", but instead, as a bunch of "starts"12:57
ograwell, you need to replace the players at some point12:57
ograthey get older ... no way around that12:57
bimberirodarvus: stars or tarts ? ;P12:57
=== rodarvus searchs on the dictionary for tarts :)
rodarvusogra, that too :)12:58
rodarvusbimberi, tart == clown? (in this case, I agree :) )01:00
Yagisantart ?01:00
Yagisanwell, it's a desert, and a woman of loose morals down here01:00
rodarvusYagisan, thats what wikipedia tells me too01:00
bimberithankyou Yagisan, i was struggling to find the right words :)01:01
bimberiit's also used to describe someone (of any gender) who only does something if paid01:02
YagisanI believe that paid variety has various names, but tart isn't one down here.01:03
=== Yagisan looks at channel name - hmm, perhaps this channel may have younger people here
bimberithat's why i was struggling01:06
Yagisanbimberi: I got good at trying to find other ways to describe things by marrying someone that is not a native speaker in my language.01:07
Yagisanworks well (when we understand each other)01:08
cbx33hey Yagisan howz it going01:09
Yagisancbx33: I seem to have caught a cold. Am mastering cmake, and divorcing doomsday and autotools.01:12
Yagisancbx33: I also mets some motus in real life today01:12
cbx33cool01:12
Yagisanyes. I thought it was fascinating this place outside of IRC 01:13
ograhighvoltage, your use cases need fleshing out ...01:13
Yagisanbut I missed the nick highlighting when people mentioned me01:13
ograhighvoltage, * A poor school only has 5 old PIII machines, and needs to continue using these machines for an extended period. 01:13
ograhighvoltage, add something like: they try edubuntu and find the xfce option, they install it and are happy (or something like that)01:14
ograa use case should always be a positive thing solved by that spec in the end :)01:14
highvoltageogra: ok, thanks. good tip :)01:15
cbx33ogra: what about, they install it and go on a mad rampage to destroy Mircosoft01:16
ograthats valid :)01:16
cbx33highvoltage: use that one, use that one :p01:16
ograbut you need to add positive bits :)01:16
cbx33hehehe01:16
cbx33the dark empire crumbles and linux reigns supreme01:17
cbx33?01:17
ogra they install it and out of blind happyness about opne source software they go on a mad rampage to destroy Mircosoft01:17
cbx33ahhh i see01:17
cbx33got all caught up in the destruction of proprietary kernels01:17
cbx33if a router uses a linux kernel01:26
cbx33they should display GPL license somewhere01:26
Yagisanyes, but often they don't01:26
cbx33I have a belkin router01:28
cbx33and It is definitely a nix system01:29
highvoltagecbx33: how can you tell?01:47
cbx33well, ok I can't if functions exactly like a nix system01:51
cbx33if you know what I mean01:51
cbx33from the work they have done it would beSTUPID to do develop it from scratch01:51
cbx33ogra: do you think the process should be sorted?01:52
cbx33and also do you think that the list should auto update?01:52
ograyes it should auto update and it should be sorted by process number ...01:52
cbx33ok01:52
cbx33i didn't see it auto update01:53
=== yvesC [n=yves@zenobi.ycombe.net] has joined #edubuntu
cbx33what's the frequency?01:53
cbx33and I noticed the process list and user name etc stay after the user has been disconnected01:53
ograoh, i thought aou saked about implementing that :)01:53
ogra*asked01:53
ogra*you01:53
cbx33ah....hehe01:53
cbx33so it "should" but doesn't currently01:54
ogracurrently it only spills out the processes01:54
ograit would be nice if we could have icons like gnome-system-monitor has01:54
cbx33i think having the pid in the list would be useful too01:54
ograthat would make the ui useless ...01:54
cbx33is it normal for gconfd to be orphaned?01:55
cbx33the user has been disconnected but the process still remains01:55
ograimagine an arts teacher who just knows how to click stuff, he must understand and use it01:55
cbx33ok01:55
ogradont confuse him with weird numbers 01:55
ogra(if you feel its needed, we can make it an option you can switch on/off01:56
ogra)01:56
cbx33nah it's ok01:56
cbx33I see your point01:56
ograbut i see yours too :)01:56
ograso it might be a good thing to have it optional01:56
cbx33well what about an advanced mode01:56
cbx33that turns some things on in the ui01:56
cbx33like a toggle button01:57
cbx33Simple/Advanced01:57
ograwe should at least have a set of options you can switch on or off ... i'm not a friend of discriminating users by telling them they are non advanced :)01:57
cbx33ok I see your point there01:58
ogralets keep that stuff fro the plugin writers ;)01:58
ogra*for01:58
cbx33indeed01:58
cbx33pygi is doing the plugin framework01:58
cbx33isn't he?01:58
ograwe only want a basic app taht does what it should perfectly ...01:58
ograi'm not talking about the framework :)01:58
cbx33no i know01:58
cbx33I was just askin01:58
cbx33g01:58
ografeel free to write a plugin later that has an advanced/simple switch ;)01:59
ograbut yes, pygi volunteered for that01:59
cbx33I can see now how plugins would be mega easy for it02:00
ograthats the plan :)02:00

cbx33ogra: who is cleaning up what is already there?02:04
cbx33all three of us?02:04
ografeel free to clean up where you find ugliness :)+02:05
cbx33heh not ugliness02:05
ograi'll rename the branch these days to have a non versioned name btw ...02:05
cbx33just the host name/process list should be cleaned upon disconnecting a user02:05
ograit does, no ?02:06
cbx33nope02:06
cbx33not here02:06
cbx33I just got a user to login and I disconnected them02:06
ograrunning on a regular ubuntu ltsp ? 02:06
cbx33but their name/host/proclist remained02:06
cbx33nope edubuntu02:06
ograwith the ubuntu ltsp package ??02:07
cbx33i er, this is a dapper edubuntu box02:07
ograand a thin client ?02:07
cbx33yes02:07
ogra(note i never tested with vmware and am not particulary interested in that)02:07
cbx33nope this is real clients02:08
ograwell, the next polling of the userlist should clean up...02:08
cbx33ogra: tbph vmware should not have any bnearing on it at all02:08
cbx33ogra: ah, my last bug fix would fix it then02:08
ograwhich means it should avnish withinn the next 5 secs or so from the UI after a user disconnected02:08
cbx33it's grumbling about the user variable again02:08
cbx33it was onyl one user after all02:09
ograthere is a function that refreshes in a given interval ...02:09
cbx33I'm gonna try again02:09
ograpoll#_userlist or something02:09
cbx33and apply my fix02:09
DanielCHow do you make 'diff' produce output that can be used by 'patch' ?02:09
ograsorry i cant discuss that now, we have a deadline for merges i have to do now02:09
ograDanielC, diff -ruN oldfile newfile02:10
DanielCthanks02:10
ograrodarvus, btw, how is X going ?02:10
cbx33sorry ogra 02:10
rodarvusogra, I'm researching all changes that are going to be needed (for the first step, at least), and writing a spec for it02:10
rodarvusI believe I'll have something palateable until the end of the day, tomorrow02:11
rodarvus(but by no means a "complete" spec)02:11
rodarvusthe list of changes is huge02:11
rodarvus*huge*02:11
ogracbx33, we have dedicated feature development time, all merges have to be done by jul 13th, after that i can concentrate on details of new features02:11
cbx33ogra: np02:11
cbx33I'll bug you in 10 days then02:12
rodarvus25+ new packages and counting (and almost the same number of obsoleted packages)02:12
ograrodarvus, yep, i expected that, i still wonder why we dont just go on maintaining our own packages02:12
cbx33ogra: is ther ea plan to put moin-desktop in edgy?02:12
ograthe are built upstream compatible, we would just have to renew the orig.tar.gz's and probably dol some minro changes02:13
ogra*they02:13
rodarvusmaintaining our own X packages is insane, actually - even bigger work - Debian X packages are in a much better state than ours02:13
rodarvusswitching to their packages, we will only need to worry about our own changes02:13
ograsure, but ours were built by an upstream xorg guy who had in mind that they are as comaptible as possiblle to the upstream sources ...02:14
ograindeed they were unmaintained over the half last release02:14
rodarvusthats daniels, right?02:15
cbx33ogra: as I'm finding bugs and things to do, should I put them on LP? or do we not use that for devel?02:15
ograbut apart from easier syncability i dont really see the advantage in syncing02:15
ograyep02:15
rodarvusogra, in theory, we'll have less trouble/work maintaining them in the future02:16
ogracbx33, malone is the right place :)02:16
cbx33ok02:16
=== cbx33 gets buggin
ograrodarvus, well, that has to be proofed :)02:16
rodarvus:)02:16
ogramy theory was that we are nearer to upstream than debian ... so it would be easier to stay with upstream :)02:17
ograbut indeed that needs the manpower we dont have yet02:17
rodarvusogra, I agree, but we have half (?) X maintainer - debian has four, or more :)02:17
ograyep02:18
ografinally xscreensaver built ...02:20
ograwill be fun to redo all the build deps again (i just did that in dapper, now all x lib names change again)02:21
rodarvusyep :/02:22
rodarvusit might happen that we are not even able to complete the job for edgy02:22
rodarvusreally depends on the desired quality :D02:23
ograwell, we need to release with something working :)02:23
rodarvushaha02:23
rodarvusindeed02:23
ograin some way or the other :)02:23

rodarvusjsgotangco, pong03:39
jsgotangcohow do you feel rejecting abandoned bugs after making a follow up for xorg and company?03:40
jsgotangco:D03:40
rodarvusheh03:40
jsgotangcoim serious03:40
rodarvusI was thinking about this subject this morning, actually03:40
jsgotangco:D03:40
rodarvusI know03:41
jsgotangcoi made a couple of follow ups before paris no reply03:41
jsgotangcofabio said he does that all the time03:41
rodarvusI guess I'd just leave as needinfo for a while and reject them when a new version is released03:41
jsgotangcodoh that would be like october!03:42
rodarvus('please reopen if you find this bug in the new version')03:42
jsgotangcowell yeah i would most likely say that in a rejection notice03:42
rodarvusjsgotangco, this bug was here before dapper?03:42
jsgotangcowe get lots of bugs for milestone releases03:42
jsgotangcothat usually get abandoned03:42
rodarvusif so, you can do it already, given enough time for the reporter to manifest03:42
jsgotangcothe problem with needs info is that it can get smothered by the glut of bugs in xorg so it takes a while to sort it out03:43
jsgotangcosome of them have been completely forgotten, i make a follow up and i get a reply that they sold the card or the laptop already :D03:45
rodarvusthese cases are clearly candidates for rejection03:47
jsgotangcoyeah03:48
