LaserJockoh really?01:47
jsgotangcoyeah former adult movie star01:48

BurgundaviaLaserJock: specs can be picked up and work on by anyone. In fact, our open spec engine makes us completely unique among all distros02:10
jsgotangcoyeah02:10
Burgundaviathat is why those brazilian guys are working on the network wide updates spec02:11
LaserJockI'm just worried about getting this dynamic-menus spec done, I'm afraid I'm not knowledgable enough right now to get a good draft02:11
jsgotangcowas it reviewed?02:12
LaserJockonce, in Paris02:12
LaserJockand then Corey thrashed it a bit earlier today :-)02:12
jsgotangcothats fine although your time is a bit limited already...02:13
jsgotangcoLaserJock: i am not surprised02:14
LaserJockall the KDE stuff from aaron threw me off02:14
jsgotangcoit is quite nice admittedly02:14
LaserJockright, but we don't ship kiosktool in Edubuntu, right?02:15
LaserJockI can see were is somebody wants to use KDE + Edubuntu it makes sense that we reduce duplication, etc.02:16
jsgotangcono02:16
jsgotangcoyou really have to hack up sabayon just to make it happen02:17
LaserJockright02:17
jsgotangcobecause if you hardcode the menu structure, seb will be pissed off02:17
LaserJockright02:17
LaserJockbut it still seems a bit odd to me to use sabayon to create group driven menus02:18
LaserJockit's quite overkill for a menu editor, although I was thinking that it might be handy to change more than just the menu by group02:20
LaserJockok, so I have a few questions still02:22
LaserJock1) should I just focus on shipping sabayon profiles and not worry about KDE right now?02:23
LaserJockwell, actually that's sort of it02:23
LaserJock2) 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
jsgotangcoits only KDE specific for that02:28
LaserJock2)?02:30
LaserJockbecause they don't use /etc/group?02:31
jsgotangcoi remeber vaguely its just a flat file and it looks like a bit like active directory02:31
LaserJockreminded me of a .desktop but yeah02:35
AmaranthLaserJock: Different menus for different groups?02:50
AmaranthBasically 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

mhzif they like base edubuntu demo, I'll be asked to demo a11y stuff05:11

=== elbixio [n=elbixio@209.124.112.200] has joined #edubuntu
elbixiohello everybody, i downloaded the live cd of edubuntu 6 because i'm planning to teach how to use it in my next semester course10:54
elbixioi noticed the live version runs kind of slow because our lab cdroms10:54
elbixioand i was wondering, could the LTSP approach help, asuming i could get a nice server10:55
highvoltagelive cd's generally tend to be slower than an installed system.10:55
=== HedgeMage [i=HedgeMag@freenode/staff/HedgeMage] has joined #edubuntu
highvoltageRAM is often a bigger cause than the speed of the drive, since a live CD consumes quite a bit of memory.10:56
elbixiohighvoltage, the problem is that our lab admin doesn't want to install it10:56
highvoltagewhat's the specifications of the machines?10:56
elbixiointel pentium 4 2.2 GHz processors10:56
elbixio256 DDR RAM10:56
highvoltagedo you have another machine lying around?10:56
elbixiofor the LTSP approach?10:57
highvoltagewhat you could do, even though it won't be edubuntu, is to install knoppix on an old machine, and use knoppix-terminal-server10:57
elbixioi see10:57
highvoltageit will run a full system on all your machines, as apposed to LTSP.10:57
highvoltageyou could do LTSP with Edubuntu too, if you have a very powerful server.10:57
highvoltageLTSP needs a strong server, where knoppix-terminal-server needs strong clients (like the ones you have)10:58
elbixiowhat specs do u recommend to have a "powerful server"?10:58
elbixio:O10:58
elbixioso, i install knoppix-terminal-server in an average pc and run the regular knoppix in my clients10:58
elbixiois that right?10:58
highvoltagefor 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's10:59
=== Yagisan suggests - depending on clients of course, amd64 (dual core if possible), ~ 256MB for base + ~ 32-64MB for each client
elbixioregular knoppix -> live knoppix10:59
highvoltagealthough you could get away with less too.10:59
highvoltageelbixio: yes, that's right10:59
Yagisanbut it works with less10:59
highvoltagealthough 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
highvoltageYagisan: 32-64MB per client isn't enought when running gnome or kde though :/11:00
elbixiomy personal pc has a debian system installed and has a 3.2 GHz proccesor and 1 GB of RAM11:01
elbixioi'll have about 10 clients11:01
elbixiowould that be enough for the knoppix approach?11:01
Yagisanhighvoltage: I found it worked ok for me, but I use a smaller selection of applications, so I might be too conservative on ram11:02
highvoltageelbixio: for the knoppix terminal server, you don't need a very powerful server, for that your personal pc is more than powerful enough11:02
elbixio:O11:02
elbixioso my clients will run knoppix (still from cd), but the response times will get better, right?11:03
highvoltageyes11:04
spaceyi think you would need more ram for 10 clients :o11:04
highvoltagespacey: not with a fat client server ;)11:04
spaceyoh11:04
spaceytrue11:04
highvoltagespacey: on knoppix-terminal-server, the workstations will use local memory11:04
spaceyugh11:04
spaceywhy11:04
elbixiohighvoltage, is it possible to do it without knoppix terminal server and use debian etch instead?11:04
spaceyand whats terminal server about that11:05
elbixioand the clients still run knoppix?11:05
highvoltageelbixio: 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 yet11:05
elbixiohighvoltage, ok11:05
highvoltageelbixio: yes, they will basically run knoppix11:05
elbixiohighvoltage, i thank u a lot for the info man11:06
elbixioi'll try to look for more info :)11:06
highvoltagespacey: it's propably not 'terminal server' in the strictest sense, but at least your workstations are diskless :)11:06
highvoltageelbixio: 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:O11:07
elbixioeven in a live way right?11:07

Yagisansounds like fun04:46
pygijsgotangco, ur production machine, production one :)04:46
sbalneavogra: sounds like you're up to your butt in alligators today.  I won't bug you about ltsp stuff then :)04:46
jsgotangcohah no way04:46
=== Yagisan upgraded his production box to dapper. It fell over and didn't want to get up after that
ograpygi, well, its somewhat needed to have your devleopment machine running what you develop :) i cant get around it ...04:47
pygiogra, I agree :)04:47
=== jsgotangco ponders if he should dual boot
ograsbalneav, just ask ... i'm just typing a bit slower (and have only one mouse button without the built in keyboard)04:48
sbalneavI 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
sbalneavNo rush, though. 04:49
ograso first update the changelog with dch -i04:49
ogra(while being in the source tree)04:49
ogramake some funny changelog entry and save that file 04:49

sbalneavDone.  Funny changelog entered.04:55
ograok04:55
ogranow you run: dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa04:55
ograoh and you need to make sure that the mailaddress and name you used in your entry is a valid one from your gpg keyring04:56
ograother people might use debuild -S -sa btw04:57

pharmakomGrr....Dapper Edubuntu install is crashing when it gets to configuring LTSP. Anyone seen this problem before? 07:29
DanielCDefine "crash"?07:30
DanielCDo you get a black screen with two white squares?07:30
pharmakomYes.07:30
pharmakomExactly.07:30
DanielCIt's a problem with X.07:30
pharmakomResolution?07:30
DanielCThis is the best you can do:07:30
DanielC1) Install first as Workstation.07:30
DanielCIt will still break X, but don't worry...07:30
DanielCthe installer keeps working, even if you don't see it.07:30
DanielCwait until the CD pops out07:31
DanielC(may need to press Enter once or twice, but I doubt it)07:31
DanielCtake out the CD and press Enter07:31
DanielCthis reboots the computer normally.07:31
DanielCWhen it reboots, X will work as it should.07:31
DanielCSo you can then proceed to install the LTSP part.07:31
pharmakomThis solution doesn't work if I try it with regular install?07:31
DanielCThe problem with doing this with the LTSP install is that after the X11 part Edubuntu asks a few questions.07:32
DanielCAnd you can't see them.07:32
pharmakomAh.07:32
pharmakomThanks, I'll give it a try.07:32
DanielCYou can guess that I was hit by the same bug...07:33
pharmakomYeah, I'm just glad that you got a work around!07:33
DanielC:)07:33
pharmakomI 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
DanielCNo idea.07:34
DanielCI don't know tftp from an oak tree.07:34
pharmakomOne step at a time, I guess. :P07:34
pharmakomI think one gives you nuts and the other gives you kernels but that's as far as I've gotten.07:35
pharmakomOr in my case, it doesn't.07:35
pharmakomBut I think it should.07:35

ograDanielC, same as an ubuntu member :)08:16

DanielC*click*08:18
ograand you need the same prerequisites a ubuntu member needs08:18
pygiIf you would be willing to write detailed spec of what exactly we want, I could tackle writing applications that should replace kdeedu for edgy+108:19
ograi.e. sustained valuable contribution08:19
DanielCogra: Ok...08:19
ograbeing around for some time ... 08:19
ograworking with the community etc ... everything counts08:19
DanielCWell, I haven't really done anything... so I guess I'll have to wait.08:19
ograyou wrote howtos and wiki pages :)08:19
DanielC:)08:20
ograthats already a valuable contribution :) even though a small one 08:20
DanielCOk...08:20
DanielCso a few more of those and I can get a "member" badge?08:20
ograyeps08:20
DanielCcool08:20
=== pygi isn't quite sure ogra has time for that tho :P
ograpygi, what about it ?08:21
ograwe have space atm ... 08:21
pygiright, but not enough time for me to write complete replacement for kdeedu08:21
DanielCI'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
pygifeatures freeze is in a month08:21
ograyeah, trime is short in edgy08:21
ograDanielC, well, sure, but its hardly measurable ...08:22
DanielCOk.08:22
pygiogra, as I said, if you can write a detailed spec on what you want to see, I can tackle writing entire replacement08:22
DanielCSo measurable is good...08:22
pygithen we are sure we will have a solid and good replacement :)08:22
ograpreferably we like measurable contributions ... many karma points in LP are impressing for example :)08:22
DanielCok...08:22
ograa good documented wikipage that lists your conmtributions as well :)08:23
DanielCbut you get karma points for things like filing bug reports.08:23

ograand for translations :)08:23
DanielCI'll be a "member" one day. It'll just take me time...08:24
DanielCI'm already over-committed.08:24
DanielCThe 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
ograget your openoffice package into edgy...08:24
ograthats a major contribution ;)08:24
DanielCIs it? It's just a user guide...08:25
ograsure, but its helping the community 08:25
DanielCOk... I did write much of it... but I wasn't thinking of Ubuntu when I did...08:25
