LaserJock | oh really? | 01:47 |
jsgotangco | yeah former adult movie star | 01:48 |
LaserJock | hmm, haven't heard about that, but wouldn't doubt it, a adult movie star ran for govenor of California not long ago :-) | 01:49 |

Burgundavia | LaserJock: specs can be picked up and work on by anyone. In fact, our open spec engine makes us completely unique among all distros | 02:10 |
jsgotangco | yeah | 02:10 |
Burgundavia | that is why those brazilian guys are working on the network wide updates spec | 02:11 |
LaserJock | I'm just worried about getting this dynamic-menus spec done, I'm afraid I'm not knowledgable enough right now to get a good draft | 02:11 |
jsgotangco | was it reviewed? | 02:12 |
LaserJock | once, in Paris | 02:12 |
LaserJock | and then Corey thrashed it a bit earlier today :-) | 02:12 |
jsgotangco | thats fine although your time is a bit limited already... | 02:13 |
jsgotangco | LaserJock: i am not surprised | 02:14 |
LaserJock | all the KDE stuff from aaron threw me off | 02:14 |
jsgotangco | it is quite nice admittedly | 02:14 |
LaserJock | right, but we don't ship kiosktool in Edubuntu, right? | 02:15 |
LaserJock | I can see were is somebody wants to use KDE + Edubuntu it makes sense that we reduce duplication, etc. | 02:16 |
jsgotangco | no | 02:16 |
jsgotangco | you really have to hack up sabayon just to make it happen | 02:17 |
LaserJock | right | 02:17 |
jsgotangco | because if you hardcode the menu structure, seb will be pissed off | 02:17 |
LaserJock | right | 02:17 |
LaserJock | but it still seems a bit odd to me to use sabayon to create group driven menus | 02:18 |
LaserJock | it's quite overkill for a menu editor, although I was thinking that it might be handy to change more than just the menu by group | 02:20 |
LaserJock | ok, so I have a few questions still | 02:22 |
LaserJock | 1) should I just focus on shipping sabayon profiles and not worry about KDE right now? | 02:23 |
LaserJock | well, actually that's sort of it | 02:23 |
LaserJock | 2) are the "groups" from the normal *nix /etc/group or do we want a new file like what Aaron seemed to be talking about? | 02:27 |
jsgotangco | its only KDE specific for that | 02:28 |
LaserJock | 2)? | 02:30 |
LaserJock | because they don't use /etc/group? | 02:31 |
jsgotangco | i remeber vaguely its just a flat file and it looks like a bit like active directory | 02:31 |
LaserJock | reminded me of a .desktop but yeah | 02:35 |
Amaranth | LaserJock: Different menus for different groups? | 02:50 |
Amaranth | Basically you need some way to set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS based on the group of the logged in user (then gnome-menus will load the applications.menu and etc for that group) and some extension of alacarte or something to modify "root" menus for the different groups. | 02:51 |

elbixio | hello everybody, i downloaded the live cd of edubuntu 6 because i'm planning to teach how to use it in my next semester course | 10:54 |
elbixio | i noticed the live version runs kind of slow because our lab cdroms | 10:54 |
elbixio | and i was wondering, could the LTSP approach help, asuming i could get a nice server | 10:55 |
highvoltage | live cd's generally tend to be slower than an installed system. | 10:55 |
=== HedgeMage [i=HedgeMag@freenode/staff/HedgeMage] has joined #edubuntu | ||
highvoltage | RAM is often a bigger cause than the speed of the drive, since a live CD consumes quite a bit of memory. | 10:56 |
elbixio | highvoltage, the problem is that our lab admin doesn't want to install it | 10:56 |
highvoltage | what's the specifications of the machines? | 10:56 |
elbixio | intel pentium 4 2.2 GHz processors | 10:56 |
elbixio | 256 DDR RAM | 10:56 |
highvoltage | do you have another machine lying around? | 10:56 |
elbixio | for the LTSP approach? | 10:57 |
highvoltage | what you could do, even though it won't be edubuntu, is to install knoppix on an old machine, and use knoppix-terminal-server | 10:57 |
elbixio | i see | 10:57 |
highvoltage | it will run a full system on all your machines, as apposed to LTSP. | 10:57 |
highvoltage | you could do LTSP with Edubuntu too, if you have a very powerful server. | 10:57 |
highvoltage | LTSP needs a strong server, where knoppix-terminal-server needs strong clients (like the ones you have) | 10:58 |
elbixio | what specs do u recommend to have a "powerful server"? | 10:58 |
elbixio | :O | 10:58 |
elbixio | so, i install knoppix-terminal-server in an average pc and run the regular knoppix in my clients | 10:58 |
elbixio | is that right? | 10:58 |
highvoltage | for a thin client server, ideal would be 200MB RAM per client, fast disks (preferably SATA striped), at least two Xeon CPU's (or equivilant) per 30 PC's | 10:59 |
=== Yagisan suggests - depending on clients of course, amd64 (dual core if possible), ~ 256MB for base + ~ 32-64MB for each client | ||
elbixio | regular knoppix -> live knoppix | 10:59 |
highvoltage | although you could get away with less too. | 10:59 |
highvoltage | elbixio: yes, that's right | 10:59 |
Yagisan | but it works with less | 10:59 |
highvoltage | although that installed knoppix would basically be a debian system, and you could just apt-get install the software that you could find in edubuntu as well. | 11:00 |
highvoltage | Yagisan: 32-64MB per client isn't enought when running gnome or kde though :/ | 11:00 |
elbixio | my personal pc has a debian system installed and has a 3.2 GHz proccesor and 1 GB of RAM | 11:01 |
elbixio | i'll have about 10 clients | 11:01 |
elbixio | would that be enough for the knoppix approach? | 11:01 |
Yagisan | highvoltage: I found it worked ok for me, but I use a smaller selection of applications, so I might be too conservative on ram | 11:02 |
highvoltage | elbixio: for the knoppix terminal server, you don't need a very powerful server, for that your personal pc is more than powerful enough | 11:02 |
elbixio | :O | 11:02 |
elbixio | so my clients will run knoppix (still from cd), but the response times will get better, right? | 11:03 |
highvoltage | yes | 11:04 |
spacey | i think you would need more ram for 10 clients :o | 11:04 |
highvoltage | spacey: not with a fat client server ;) | 11:04 |
spacey | oh | 11:04 |
spacey | true | 11:04 |
highvoltage | spacey: on knoppix-terminal-server, the workstations will use local memory | 11:04 |
spacey | ugh | 11:04 |
spacey | why | 11:04 |
elbixio | highvoltage, is it possible to do it without knoppix terminal server and use debian etch instead? | 11:04 |
spacey | and whats terminal server about that | 11:05 |
elbixio | and the clients still run knoppix? | 11:05 |
highvoltage | elbixio: i think so, you could probably add the knoppix repository to your sources.list and apt-get install knoppix-terminal-server, but i haven't tried that yet | 11:05 |
elbixio | highvoltage, ok | 11:05 |
highvoltage | elbixio: yes, they will basically run knoppix | 11:05 |
elbixio | highvoltage, i thank u a lot for the info man | 11:06 |
elbixio | i'll try to look for more info :) | 11:06 |
highvoltage | spacey: it's propably not 'terminal server' in the strictest sense, but at least your workstations are diskless :) | 11:06 |
highvoltage | elbixio: if you have to time, take some time to play around a little, there's lots of cool stuff you could do in a lab with such powerful workstations :) | 11:06 |
elbixio | :O | 11:07 |
elbixio | even in a live way right? | 11:07 |

sbalneav | ogra!! | 04:42 |
ogra | hey | 04:42 |
jsgotangco | ogra!! | 04:42 |
ogra | i'm quite criplled atm | 04:42 |
ogra | *crippled | 04:43 |
jsgotangco | wha? | 04:43 |
ogra | dont upgrade to edgy if you own an ibook | 04:43 |
ogra | seems there is no way to get the keyboard working | 04:43 |
sbalneav | Humm | 04:43 |
jsgotangco | i dont have an ibook | 04:43 |
ogra | gnome-panel bursts to eat 65% CPU | 04:43 |
ogra | the app menu doesnt work anymore | 04:44 |
jsgotangco | beautiful | 04:44 |
jsgotangco | its really edgy! | 04:44 |
ogra | and my beuatiful sllep light on the ibook turned into a HD indicator | 04:44 |
=== ogra curses SUN usb keyboards | ||
jsgotangco | lol i dont even have enough machines to upgrade to edgy | 04:45 |
Yagisan | sounds like fun | 04:46 |
pygi | jsgotangco, ur production machine, production one :) | 04:46 |
sbalneav | ogra: sounds like you're up to your butt in alligators today. I won't bug you about ltsp stuff then :) | 04:46 |
jsgotangco | hah no way | 04:46 |
=== Yagisan upgraded his production box to dapper. It fell over and didn't want to get up after that | ||
ogra | pygi, well, its somewhat needed to have your devleopment machine running what you develop :) i cant get around it ... | 04:47 |
pygi | ogra, I agree :) | 04:47 |
=== jsgotangco ponders if he should dual boot | ||
ogra | sbalneav, just ask ... i'm just typing a bit slower (and have only one mouse button without the built in keyboard) | 04:48 |
sbalneav | I sent you an email the other day. I'm to the point where I'm ready to do a "build" of MueKow. | 04:48 |
pygi | : | 04:48 |
=== Yagisan notes, with that being the case perhaps he should use windows and not wine to develop windows build scripts, but decides not to anyway | ||
sbalneav | No rush, though. | 04:49 |
ogra | so first update the changelog with dch -i | 04:49 |
ogra | (while being in the source tree) | 04:49 |
ogra | make some funny changelog entry and save that file | 04:49 |
ogra | (thats necessary to have a higher version so apt doesnt complain about your package) | 04:51 |
sbalneav | dch I don't seem to have. | 04:52 |
sbalneav | Is it part of pbuilder? | 04:52 |
ogra | nope | 04:53 |
ogra | its part of the devscripts package | 04:53 |
sbalneav | ah, ok, installing | 04:53 |
ogra | you will need that to build packages | 04:53 |
ogra | woah, thats annoying, i always type on the wrong keyboard | 04:53 |
sbalneav | ok, got it. | 04:54 |
ogra | good | 04:55 |
ogra | it will care for the right5 format of your entries etc | 04:55 |
sbalneav | Done. Funny changelog entered. | 04:55 |
ogra | ok | 04:55 |
ogra | now you run: dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa | 04:55 |
ogra | oh and you need to make sure that the mailaddress and name you used in your entry is a valid one from your gpg keyring | 04:56 |
ogra | other people might use debuild -S -sa btw | 04:57 |
ogra | there are more than one way to rome ;) | 04:57 |
sbalneav | ok, gonna try it now. | 04:57 |
ogra | i' | 04:58 |
ogra | m trying some kernel modules for the keyboard | 04:58 |

cbx33 | nope | 05:10 |
jsgotangco | strange | 05:10 |

cbx33 | yup that's what I thought | 05:10 |
cbx33 | I'm not that stupid :p | 05:10 |
jsgotangco | who said you are? | 05:10 |
jsgotangco | don't be so defensive im just trying to help thank you | 05:11 |
ogra | did you install the whole set of langpacks through the language selector ? | 05:11 |
ogra | it has a row for input stuff | 05:11 |
cbx33 | nope | 05:11 |
ogra | look if the checkmark is set there | 05:11 |
cbx33 | how do i do that? | 05:11 |
cbx33 | language support? | 05:11 |
ogra | there is a menu entry in the admin menu | 05:12 |
cbx33 | ok | 05:12 |
jsgotangco | :P | 05:12 |
cbx33 | it's not in language support | 05:12 |
ogra | as i said, i only have an xchat, terminal and firefox window here, panel doesnt work atm | 05:12 |
cbx33 | ok | 05:12 |
ogra | cant check or verify | 05:12 |

ogra | yes, but dont ask me about the url .... | 07:07 |
jsgotangco | *sigh* | 07:11 |

ogra | evo seems to have forgotten all my passwords ... so have i .... | 07:17 |
jsgotangco | dont worry, i got it from riddell | 07:18 |
jsgotangco | thanks | 07:18 |
ogra | and the little sheet where i noted them down is outside in a box in the van | 07:18 |
ogra | below ~15 other boxes :) | 07:18 |
DanielC | ogra: Do you have a backup of $HOME? | 07:19 |
ogra | DanielC, sure, but evo seems to store the pw's differently now | 07:20 |
DanielC | :( | 07:20 |
ogra | (and the tapes are in another box in the van anyway) | 07:20 |

=== pharmakom [i=debian-t@tor/session/external/x-82ae6f23f99ab455] has joined #edubuntu | ||
pharmakom | Grr....Dapper Edubuntu install is crashing when it gets to configuring LTSP. Anyone seen this problem before? | 07:29 |
DanielC | Define "crash"? | 07:30 |
DanielC | Do you get a black screen with two white squares? | 07:30 |
pharmakom | Yes. | 07:30 |
pharmakom | Exactly. | 07:30 |
DanielC | It's a problem with X. | 07:30 |
pharmakom | Resolution? | 07:30 |
DanielC | This is the best you can do: | 07:30 |
DanielC | 1) Install first as Workstation. | 07:30 |
DanielC | It will still break X, but don't worry... | 07:30 |
DanielC | the installer keeps working, even if you don't see it. | 07:30 |
DanielC | wait until the CD pops out | 07:31 |
DanielC | (may need to press Enter once or twice, but I doubt it) | 07:31 |
DanielC | take out the CD and press Enter | 07:31 |
DanielC | this reboots the computer normally. | 07:31 |
DanielC | When it reboots, X will work as it should. | 07:31 |
DanielC | So you can then proceed to install the LTSP part. | 07:31 |
pharmakom | This solution doesn't work if I try it with regular install? | 07:31 |
DanielC | The problem with doing this with the LTSP install is that after the X11 part Edubuntu asks a few questions. | 07:32 |
DanielC | And you can't see them. | 07:32 |
pharmakom | Ah. | 07:32 |
pharmakom | Thanks, I'll give it a try. | 07:32 |
DanielC | You can guess that I was hit by the same bug... | 07:33 |
pharmakom | Yeah, I'm just glad that you got a work around! | 07:33 |
DanielC | :) | 07:33 |
pharmakom | I had a server up and running and it was distributing DHCP addresses alright to the lab but the tftp was timing out. Any suggestions on that front? | 07:34 |
DanielC | No idea. | 07:34 |
DanielC | I don't know tftp from an oak tree. | 07:34 |
pharmakom | One step at a time, I guess. :P | 07:34 |
pharmakom | I think one gives you nuts and the other gives you kernels but that's as far as I've gotten. | 07:35 |
pharmakom | Or in my case, it doesn't. | 07:35 |
pharmakom | But I think it should. | 07:35 |
jsgotangco | goodnight | 07:37 |
DanielC | night | 07:38 |
ogra | DanielC, apparentlyx its enough to select another video mode at the CD bootscreen :) | 07:43 |
ogra | no need to fly blind | 07:44 |
DanielC | ogra: Is it? | 07:44 |
DanielC | ogra: That's better... | 07:44 |

ogra | e-m ? | 08:14 |
pygi | edubuntu members ^^ | 08:14 |

DanielC | what's an edubuntu member? | 08:15 |
ogra | fixed, sorry, my fault | 08:16 |
pygi | ogra, no worries ^^ | 08:16 |
ogra | DanielC, same as an ubuntu member :) | 08:16 |
DanielC | :) | 08:16 |
ogra | but applied for membership at the edubuntu council instead of the community council | 08:17 |
DanielC | Do edubuntu members get anything that other people don't? | 08:17 |
ogra | and with an edubuntu.org mailaddress | 08:17 |
pygi | DanielC, we get teddybear :P | 08:17 |
DanielC | heh :) | 08:17 |
DanielC | How do I apply to become one? | 08:17 |
ogra | heh, yes, install xteddy and run it :) | 08:17 |
ogra | teddy for free | 08:17 |
DanielC | :) | 08:17 |
DanielC | what does one have to do to become an edubuntu member? | 08:18 |
DanielC | upload patches? | 08:18 |
pygi | ogra, about the kdeedu stuff... | 08:18 |
ogra | apply for membership here: https://launchpad.net/people/edubuntu-members/+join | 08:18 |
DanielC | *click* | 08:18 |
ogra | and you need the same prerequisites a ubuntu member needs | 08:18 |
pygi | If you would be willing to write detailed spec of what exactly we want, I could tackle writing applications that should replace kdeedu for edgy+1 | 08:19 |
ogra | i.e. sustained valuable contribution | 08:19 |
DanielC | ogra: Ok... | 08:19 |
ogra | being around for some time ... | 08:19 |
ogra | working with the community etc ... everything counts | 08:19 |
DanielC | Well, I haven't really done anything... so I guess I'll have to wait. | 08:19 |
ogra | you wrote howtos and wiki pages :) | 08:19 |
DanielC | :) | 08:20 |
ogra | thats already a valuable contribution :) even though a small one | 08:20 |
DanielC | Ok... | 08:20 |
DanielC | so a few more of those and I can get a "member" badge? | 08:20 |
ogra | yeps | 08:20 |
DanielC | cool | 08:20 |
=== pygi isn't quite sure ogra has time for that tho :P | ||
ogra | pygi, what about it ? | 08:21 |
ogra | we have space atm ... | 08:21 |
pygi | right, but not enough time for me to write complete replacement for kdeedu | 08:21 |
DanielC | I'll give a presentation on Edubuntu at the end of the month, at the UK FLOSSIE conference (FLOSS In Education). Does that count? | 08:21 |
pygi | features freeze is in a month | 08:21 |
ogra | yeah, trime is short in edgy | 08:21 |
ogra | DanielC, well, sure, but its hardly measurable ... | 08:22 |
DanielC | Ok. | 08:22 |
pygi | ogra, as I said, if you can write a detailed spec on what you want to see, I can tackle writing entire replacement | 08:22 |
DanielC | So measurable is good... | 08:22 |
pygi | then we are sure we will have a solid and good replacement :) | 08:22 |
ogra | preferably we like measurable contributions ... many karma points in LP are impressing for example :) | 08:22 |
DanielC | ok... | 08:22 |
ogra | a good documented wikipage that lists your conmtributions as well :) | 08:23 |
DanielC | but you get karma points for things like filing bug reports. | 08:23 |
pygi | DanielC, cheerleaders :) | 08:23 |
DanielC | heh | 08:23 |
ogra | ysep | 08:23 |
ogra | and for solving bugs | 08:23 |
ogra | and for translations :) | 08:23 |
DanielC | I'll be a "member" one day. It'll just take me time... | 08:24 |
DanielC | I'm already over-committed. | 08:24 |
DanielC | The only reason I can spend time on Edubuntu as it is is that my employer lets me do that during work hours because it's relevant to my work. | 08:24 |
ogra | get your openoffice package into edgy... | 08:24 |
ogra | thats a major contribution ;) | 08:24 |
DanielC | Is it? It's just a user guide... | 08:25 |
ogra | sure, but its helping the community | 08:25 |
DanielC | Ok... I did write much of it... but I wasn't thinking of Ubuntu when I did... | 08:25 |
DanielC | :-) | 08:25 |
DanielC | Ok, I'll get the user guides into edgy (there are 4 published ones). | 08:26 |
