hareemhey guys. How can i make a normal pc a thin client12:28
LaserJockhave it PXE boot12:29
hareemsee i have a normal pc that i want to connect to the edubuntu server12:33
hareemso what should be doing12:33
LaserJockplug it in and turn it on?12:35
LaserJockmake sure in the BIOS that it can network (PXE) boot and that it does that before it it boots from the hard drive12:35
hareemshould i install the edubuntu workstation on it12:36
LaserJockno12:36
LaserJockyou don't need to install anything, it's a thin client :-)12:36
crimsun(that kinda makes it a thick client by definition)12:36
hareemso if my board is pxe compliant. It would automtically boot to edubuntu12:38
LaserJockyep12:38
hareemeven if the contraption is a amd 6412:39
crimsun(yes)12:40
LaserJockI think that also depends on you LTSP chroot, perhaps12:40
hareemand if the thing is not pxe ... is there some way to make it work again12:41
LaserJockI think there might be some support for etherboot12:41
LaserJockbut I could be wrong there12:41
LaserJockI think the best is pxe12:41
hareemok.. but can i make a boot rom or iso disk or something12:42
hareemok so i went to this rom o matic place12:50
hareemi dont know how to set this up12:50

Fujitsu!repos05:36
ubotuThe packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource05:36
hareemthanks05:36
hareemso after installing ubuntu server. I tried to connect my thin client to the server but i failed. The thin client looks up dhcp but cant seem to find it05:37
LaserJockdo you have another dhcp server around05:38
LaserJockthe edubuntu server needs to be the only dhcp server that the client can see05:38
FujitsuOr the other DHCP server needs to be configured appropriately.05:38
mhzyup05:47
LaserJockin my case I can't touch the oterh DHCP server :(05:48
LaserJockso no LTSP for me05:48
hareemwell i think i got dhcp on the main router.05:48
hareembut05:48
hareemthe thin clients should connect to the server. Not to the main router05:48
hareemso what should i do man05:49
hareem?05:56
hareemany body around..05:57
LaserJockI honestly don't know05:58
LaserJockI'm not good with LTSP setups05:58
LaserJockyou might email the edubuntu-users mailing list05:58
LaserJockto get some of the more knowledgable people on it05:58

hareemyes. i followed the image shot they have ther06:44
hareema question. I connected my router to my server and the server to the switch. So the router still has its dhcp on06:45

jsgotangcosafetyboat i presume?09:59
Burgundaviayep09:59
jsgotangcois anything happening there with that?10:00
pyginot really :-/10:00
pygiBurgundavia, we have 3 more mentors who must submit the review10:00
pygiJeff will do it on Monday, with Matthias Klose and Scoot,I haven't talked10:01
Burgundaviahmm10:01
pygiScott*10:01
=== jsgotangco made his review just in time
pygijsgotangco, there is 2 more days ^_^ How is your student doing?10:01
jsgotangcopretty good we'll probably have a binary by next week10:02
pygio,yes, I forgot I need advice from you people10:02
Burgundaviajsgotangco: which is yours?10:02
jsgotangcoamenity10:02
Burgundaviaah, that10:02
pygiThere is one student which I havent heard since 15 days ago, but he was getting merried10:02
pygialso, by now he written just 100lines of python !!!10:02
jsgotangcofeh10:02
jsgotangcodrop it10:02
pygiBurgundavia, advice?10:03
Burgundaviaon anselmo? I really don't know. I was concerned that I was too involved, so I backed off and then I was away, but it seems nothing has been done10:03
pygiBurgundavia, not anselmo, my student :P10:04
Burgundaviamaybe somebody needs to work out a more complete action plan, something I don't think has been done10:04
jsgotangcostudent should be proactive on reporting stuff10:04
jsgotangcoas well as making the plan10:04
Burgundaviayes10:04
jsgotangcoafter all the money is actually bounty monty10:04
Burgundaviapygi: remind me again, which is your student?10:04
jsgotangcos/monty/money10:04
pygiBurgundavia, look at Brian Davis10:05
Burgundaviajsgotangco: you going for the full monty :P10:05
pygihe wrote just 100 lines of python by now, and I haven't heard from him in 15 days10:05
Burgundaviaeven I can write a hundred lines of python!10:06
pygihe was getting merried, but ...10:06
pygiBurgundavia, so drop or?10:06
Burgundaviahmm, yet another abstraction framework...10:06
Burgundaviais there a better plan than http://code.google.com/soc/ubuntu/appinfo.html?csaid=4D72DEB990CEB28D10:07
jsgotangcoyou can make a follow up email10:07
jsgotangcothen if he doesn't respond drop off i guess10:07
pygijsgotangco, I sent him a mail to respond ASAP10:07
Burgundaviaby this point I would expect every student to have a clear plan and already be into the first few goals on that plan10:07
pygino response by now10:07
Burgundaviathat may not actually be code10:07
pygihttp://blog.kerkopes.com/10:08
jsgotangco100 lines of comments!10:09
pygi!!!10:09

jsgotangcosome if not most alrady have working code or have already committed to mainline!10:09
Burgundaviahttp://bzr.kerkopes.com/gedit-scm-plugin/ <-- this is empty10:10
Burgundaviais that a known feature of bzr?10:10
jsgotangcoits not a branch10:11
jsgotangcoyep it ain't a branch10:11
Burgundaviahe called his thing branches10:11
pygieh :P10:12
jsgotangcohere's my student's blog http://percentd.blogspot.com/10:12
Burgundaviahis writing is very clear and he has a clear plan10:12
Burgundaviabut failure to code means failure to get paid, in my books10:12
pygiMay 23 - Google posts accepted projects, celebrate my project's acceptance (hope10:12
pygiMay 24 - Contact my mentor, set up project web site/repository, check in current10:12
pygi~June 20 - Finish framework code, begin implementing specific SCM backends (bzr,10:12
pygi~July 4 - Finish bzr backend, write general test suite, celebrate Independence D10:12
pygi~July 20 - Finish test suite, finish 1-2 other backends (probably svn and/or cvs10:12
pygi~August 10 - Finish as many other backends as possible (perhaps Mercurial, Monot10:12
pygiAugust 20 - Turn in code, evaluate mentor, celebrate birthday10:12
=== pygi is sorry)
Burgundaviathat is exactly what I was about to say10:13
pygiI see none usable code in that "branch"10:13
jsgotangcohe didnt say getting married too10:13
jsgotangcolol10:13
pygieh =P10:14
pygijsgotangco, Burgundavia ,  so drop?10:15
Burgundavianot yet10:15
Burgundaviawhen did you send your email asking for him to respond?10:15
pygitwo days ago10:16
Burgundaviado you have a phone number?10:16
pygino :-/10:16
Burgundaviagot a name and a general location?10:16
pygiBurgundavia, name yes, location no, he wasnt involved and was not talking with me much really10:17
Burgundaviathis midterm review, does it mean you have to decide quite quickly on dropping him?10:17
pygiBurgundavia, yes, it's black/white thingy10:18
Burgundaviais there a fixed time to decide (ie: today or tomorrow?)10:18
pygiit has to be decided by Monday I think10:18
Burgundaviathen send him an email tonight saying "You are about to be dropped"10:18
BurgundaviaIf he gets back to AND he has a solid plan for getting back on track, then keep him10:18
Burgundaviafailure on either count is out10:19
Burgundaviaultimately, it is really a gut feeling. Do you *think* he is going to finish?10:20
pygino10:20
Burgundaviathen drop him10:20
Burgundaviatrust your instincts when managing people. You will almost never be wrong10:20
pygitwo of the other students I have will finish, and phanatic is even ahead of schedule10:20
jsgotangcoBurgundavia: he'll get paid $2,000 if pygi approves10:21
jsgotangcowith 100 lines of code10:21
Burgundaviaah10:21
Burgundaviahmm10:21
Burgundaviaso they are dolling the money out in two sums of 2k this time?10:22
pygiBurgundavia, yes :-/10:22
Burgundaviathat makes each of those hundred lines worth $20, give or take10:22
Burgundaviawith that pay scale, I probably wrote about $4000 worth of spec for Koha and case study for Edubuntu tonight!10:23
jsgotangcocompare that to say my student with already working code and a sourceforge repository as well as bzr10:23
jsgotangcogetting the same amount10:23
pygijsgotangco, right10:24
pygiand I talked with your student in number of occassions, he will finish, and he will continue maintaing it even after SoC is done10:24
jsgotangcoim pretty positive he has a bright outlook in life10:25
Burgundaviathe other thing about management is sometimes you get to make crappy decisions, like this one. Essentially you are firing this guy10:25
pygijsgotangco, I think the same10:26
pygiBurgundavia, indeed :-/10:26
BurgundaviaI fear that is what is going to happen with Anselmo10:27
Burgundaviasad, because 4 or 5 women approached me todo the same project for WSOP with GNOME10:27
pygiBurgundavia, hm, lemme call dholbach10:27
pygihe's not here :-/10:28
Burgundaviathe man might even have a life outside of Ubuntu, you know ;)10:29
pygiofcourse, I said nothing ^_^10:29
pygiI am interest what will happen with that Samba conf thingy10:29
Burgundaviahttp://www.thedailywtf.com/Images/200607/screenshot24ga.png10:29
pygiinterested*10:29
Burgundaviathe migration assistant is the one that interests me the most, after anselmo10:30
pygiaha ^_^10:32
Burgundaviaanybody know if that is going?10:34
pygiBurgundavia, not really, havent talked with Evan for quite a long10:36
pygibut he seemed capable10:36
Burgundaviacapable != working10:36
pygiofcourse :P10:37
pygithe BZR UI could be finished in a matter of week from now, but I won't force anything ^_^10:40
Burgundaviaglaunchpad is coming along and so is willowng10:43
pygiI saw screenshot of glaunchpad10:43
pygiyou have blog of that guy who is doing it?10:44
Burgundaviaglaunchpad is ploum10:45
Burgundaviahe is on planet ubuntu10:45
pygiConseil stuff?10:46
Burgundaviayep10:46
pygiah nice ^_^10:46
Burgundaviaall in all, I think the quality of applicants was higher this year10:47
pygiyea, but seems we'll have to drop two(or at least one) student10:47
BurgundaviaI wonder, of the failures, how many knew/used/developed on OSS10:47
Burgundaviabefore SoC10:48
pygiTeresa, one of my students, never worked with FOSS community before10:48
Burgundaviajsgotangco: enough people mispell you name I guess --> http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=jerome+gostango&btnG=Search&meta=10:49
Burgundaviathing is, you can easily see if these people have been involved with FOSS. Merely being int eh community will give you lots of google juice10:50
jsgotangcolol10:54
jsgotangcomaybe i should purchase a domain name of my surname and put tons of adsense on it lol10:55

jsgotangcojust wondering i barely see you go on vac or something12:45
ograif i have vacation, i usually stay at home ... we have 5 animals and nobody to look after them and my GF has a handicapped brother that needs 24/7 care ... since i dont like to travel alone (i do that for canonical enough) i just stay here :)12:46
ograwhich means i ususally also  go on IRC after doing some gardening etc ...12:47

jsgotangcoat least you own your home12:56
ograso there will be a lot of cleaning out to do before we can even start ... and susie doesnt have the courage yet to sort out her mothers stuff 12:56
ograwell, yes, she owns the house and we dont have to pay any rent or any other money for living apart from food ... so thats a big advantage12:57

jsgotangcowhoa solar heating neat01:05

bimberiyes i'd have no idea of the cost here.01:06
jsgotangcowhat are those animals anyways? dogs? cats? cows? farm animals?01:07
ograi think its between 5000-10000 for a week around here, depending onn the organization you use01:07
bimberieek01:07
jsgotangcowow that's expensive01:07
jsgotangcothat's like a brand new car01:07
ograa very old dog (16 years), two cats and two guinea pigs01:07
=== bimberi (and family) has 4 chooks
ogra+well, we pay 5000 for a month for the nurse service that gets him out of bed in the morning and back in the evening as well01:08
jsgotangco5000/month is probably manageable for a good earner but the same amount and more for a week is crazy01:09
ograususally you are pretty well in this country if you dont have any money, the state pays for such stuff and you dont have to care01:09
ograsadly *he* had money and a very good insurance when he had his accident 01:09
ograwhich means he has to pay everything from that01:10
martalliogra - are you in the us?01:10
ograand doesnt get a cent from the state01:10
jsgotangcois it much cheaper in your current place compared to say, berlin?01:10
ogragermany01:10
ogranope01:10
ograkassel is smaller but surely living costs the same here01:10
=== jsgotangco thinks europe is a pretty expensive place
=== bimberi agrees
ograberlin is cheaper than here if you go out of the city into the former GDR area ...01:11

jsgotangcoi was like in paris for a week and it really hit me hard with my pocket money01:11
ograwell, you wont fall below the poverty line as a handicapped person in germany01:12
ograthe state cares early enough01:12
martalliIf you want a cheap place to live, I would suggest India - I lived there for a year on $5000 a few years back01:12
ograthe only prob is really if you own any money ...01:12
martalliogra - they want you to spend your money first?01:12
bimberijsgotangco: the other day you posted a link with a photo of you, LaserJock and ????.  Who was the third?01:13
ograoh, i'm not after living cheap ... as long as i dont have to turn every cent i'm happy01:13
ogramartalli, exactly01:13
jsgotangcobimberi: aaron seigo of KDE01:13
ograand they wont pay as long as anything is left01:13
bimberijsgotangco: ahh :)01:13
martalliThen there, as here, it is really a tax on the middle class.  The poor are covered, and the gates and rothschilds can cover the cash.01:13
martalliThe middle class lose their life savings01:13
ograyep01:13
jsgotangcomartalli: i stayed in chennai for a month, i couldn't stand the food01:14
bimberijsgotangco: thanks, i thought it might be one of the Edubuntu crowd but didn't recognise him01:14
jsgotangcoand the healthcare system01:14
martalliMy wife is tamil, maybe you just need a better cook =)01:14
jsgotangcoprobably lol01:14
bimberihehe01:14
martallilol I recommend not getting sick01:14
jsgotangcovery01:14
bimberihere they say if you get sick just get on a plane home asap01:15
martalliAlthough we wre just back in India (Karnataka, actually)( and I had to take my 2 y/o to the hospital for febrile diarrhe...the er visit med doc charges, etc were less in ruppes what they would have charged in dollars here in the us (Rs50 ~ $1)01:15
martalliI was alsmot ashamed to pay so little (and for that problem, they did a good job)01:16
martalliSay, does anyone use a ralink wireless card with edubuntu?01:17
ogranobody i know ...01:18
bimberigoodness me, that's shop talk ;P01:18
ogrado you have probs with it ? 01:18
martalliwell, I have a card with an rt2500 card.  It worked fine with mdv2006 in another computer, but in my son's computer mepis 6.0 rc2 wouldn't even recognize the card.  I was thinking of trying edubuntu (obviously a good choice for a 4 y/o), but wondered if it might work 'out f the box'01:19
martalliI haven't yet tried any *buntu 6.06 distros on it yet, although I am currently downloading edubuntu01:20
bimberimartalli: Looks promising - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT250001:21
ograhmm, mepis is based on ubuntu01:21
ograbut i'm not sure if they use our kernel or drivers01:22
martalliI think warren uses his own kernel01:22
martalliBack when I was using 3.x, it would seem to get mixed up if I installed too much stuff from the debian repos01:23
martallibut, it comes with the ati and nvidia drivers, flash/java/etc., and that was appealing01:23
martallinow I am p[lenty competent to at least go through a howto and get those things installed (I think =)01:23
martallibimberi - thanks for the link!01:24
bimberimartalli: np :) that page indicates that the rt2500 is supported out of the box in the recent (ed)ubuntu versions01:24

DanielCDoes it matter where I put it?11:34
LaserJockyeah, that's why it isn't a big deal, but you might as well start with the latest Policy version11:34

DanielCI admit I was just blindly copying from that python tutorial.11:41
LaserJocknp11:42
DanielCI'm happy to move them.11:42
LaserJockI'd move dh_install to the install: rule11:42

LaserJockjust dh_install11:43
DanielCOk, I put it at the end, just after dh_installdirs11:43
LaserJockk, then rebuild the source package, use pbuilder to build the .deb and make sure that works as expected11:49
LaserJockdpkg -c on the .deb helps11:49
LaserJockand then re-upload to revu11:49
DanielCOk, will do.11:50
DanielCWhat does -c do?11:50
DanielCThe man page says "contents".11:50
DanielCOk, so it lists the contents of the .deb.11:51
LaserJockyeah11:51
LaserJockthat way you know files will go where you want them to :-)11:51
