Burgwork | hey jsgotangco, Lord_Athur | 02:03 |
jsgotangco | hey Burgwork | 02:03 |
LaserJock | hi guys | 02:04 |
jsgotangco | how's it going | 02:08 |
LaserJock | I've been fighting with emacs all day :-) | 02:10 |
LaserJock | rather, emacs+OS X | 02:10 |
LaserJock | cause it worked just fine in Ubuntu | 02:10 |
Burgwork | LaserJock, you are mad | 02:18 |
LaserJock | yes I am. I wish I had an Ubuntu box at work | 02:18 |
jsgotangco | i thought emacs is shipped in OSX by default | 02:19 |
LaserJock | sure | 02:19 |
LaserJock | but I wanted to add some stuff to it | 02:19 |
jsgotangco | so what's the issue? its the same keybindings though | 02:19 |
jsgotangco | ahhh | 02:19 |
LaserJock | getting it to work right is another matter | 02:19 |
jsgotangco | its just a bunch of lua files to be added right? | 02:19 |
LaserJock | lisp | 02:20 |
jsgotangco | argghhh yeah lisp my bad | 02:20 |
LaserJock | anyway, I wanted to be able to do more stuff from CLI | 02:21 |
LaserJock | and emacs seemed to be able to do what I wanted | 02:21 |
jsgotangco | yes | 02:21 |
LaserJock | PIM, wiki, etc. | 02:21 |
jsgotangco | do you know planner mode | 02:21 |
LaserJock | that's what I'm trying to get to work | 02:21 |
jsgotangco | lol you should ask sacha the current maintainer she's very very helpful and currently use OSX | 02:22 |
LaserJock | in Ubuntu I just install planner-el and off I go | 02:22 |
jsgotangco | she's a dear friend of mine | 02:22 |
LaserJock | no such luck in OS X | 02:22 |
jsgotangco | just send her an email she'll give you tips on how to do that | 02:22 |
LaserJock | really? I feel like I know her well, I've been on her site all day | 02:22 |
LaserJock | :-) | 02:22 |
jsgotangco | heh she's really nice when you get to meet her personally | 02:23 |
LaserJock | I saw the site was .ph | 02:23 |
jsgotangco | yes she's a local here | 02:23 |
jsgotangco | but she's currntly in toronto | 02:23 |
jsgotangco | doing her masters | 02:23 |
jsgotangco | all of that website is done in emacs+emacswiki+plannermode | 02:24 |
Burgwork | just before I leave, I thought I would celebrate by showing a picture of beer: http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/07/do_i_sense_a_fr.html | 02:25 |
jsgotangco | heh that's a good one | 02:26 |
LaserJock | jsgotangco: yeah, it's really sweet how it's wikified, that's exactly what I was looking for | 02:28 |
LaserJock | a CLI Tomboy ;-) | 02:28 |
jsgotangco | well yeah | 02:28 |
=== jsgotangco should use planner mode again | ||
LaserJock | the learning curve is pretty steap though | 02:29 |
LaserJock | I'm using a newer version that uses muse instead of emacs-wiki | 02:29 |
jsgotangco | well with just a few key bindings in your .emacs file you could create your own stuff | 02:29 |
LaserJock | I'm working on it | 02:30 |
LaserJock | :-) | 02:30 |
jsgotangco | you can sync that if you want, im sure she'll appreciate it, she's been meaning to do that for the longest time but school got in her way | 02:33 |
jsgotangco | although its a really *tiny* package | 02:33 |
jsgotangco | =) | 02:33 |
LaserJock | wahoo, I got it to publish it to html in my ~/public_html :-) | 02:40 |
LaserJock | how cool | 02:40 |
jsgotangco | umm yeah that's emacswiki | 02:40 |
jsgotangco | you can publish everyday until you have a month long journal/diary | 02:40 |
LaserJock | it's this new muse thing instead of emacswiki | 02:41 |
LaserJock | supposedly it's better | 02:41 |
LaserJock | I can publish to latex, xhtml, html, etc. | 02:41 |
LaserJock | anway, this is pretty cool | 02:41 |
jsgotangco | ahh | 02:41 |
LaserJock | hah, it can do RSS 2.0 too | 02:42 |
jsgotangco | hrmm how come dapper still comes with emacswiki | 02:42 |
LaserJock | because the muse support is pretty new | 02:42 |
LaserJock | fink has it I think | 02:43 |
LaserJock | not sure about debian | 02:43 |
LaserJock | I know there is a debian repo for it | 02:43 |

=== highvoltage waves Yagisan | ||
highvoltage | ogra: please wake up. i have an idea that i'm excited about that i want to talk to you about. | 09:12 |
Yagisan | highvoltage: how are you today ? | 09:12 |
highvoltage | Yagisan: thirsty, but otherwise very good | 09:13 |
highvoltage | also hit the snooze butten more than 5 times this morning | 09:13 |
highvoltage | (logt count after that) | 09:13 |
highvoltage | *lost | 09:13 |
Yagisan | highvoltage: wish I could say the same :( I've got problems with my eyes | 09:14 |
Yagisan | I see red spots that don't exist | 09:14 |
highvoltage | what's wrong? | 09:14 |
highvoltage | that's strange. | 09:14 |
highvoltage | what causes that? | 09:14 |
Yagisan | and the optometrist can't see anything wrong | 09:14 |
Yagisan | so I'm off to the specialist on wednesday, and will be relived of $147 | 09:15 |
Yagisan | and I'm laying odds, that that won't know what's wrong either | 09:15 |
Yagisan | I also discovered I have 20/15 vision, and am slightly long sighted. | 09:16 |
Yagisan | are the joys of being a guinea pig | 09:16 |
highvoltage | hmmm. couldn't find anythin on google about it | 09:17 |
Yagisan | me either | 09:18 |
Yagisan | but I assure you, I see those bright red spots | 09:18 |
highvoltage | do they stay at the same place? or move around? | 09:18 |
Yagisan | they move | 09:19 |
highvoltage | how big are they? | 09:19 |
Yagisan | can be very annoying | 09:19 |
Yagisan | small. usually in clusters of 3 | 09:19 |
Yagisan | ever looked close at a tv | 09:19 |
highvoltage | yep | 09:20 |
Yagisan | at the coloured dots on the screen ? | 09:20 |
highvoltage | yes | 09:20 |
Yagisan | looks somewhat like that | 09:20 |
=== highvoltage finds it tough to imagine | ||
highvoltage | well, my advice for any medical problem is always: drink lots of water | 09:20 |
highvoltage | it seems to help for everything | 09:21 |
Yagisan | I've had them for years, but it's increased recently. I mentioned it in passing to the optometrist and she was very concerned | 09:21 |
Yagisan | 1.5hrs if testing, and couldn't find a reason. | 09:21 |
highvoltage | and there's no records of similar conditions? | 09:23 |
Yagisan | not that they know of | 09:23 |

cbx33 | mornin all | 09:26 |
Yagisan | G'day cbx33. you missed the most fascinating discussion about how my eyes are stuffed | 09:27 |
cbx33 | I thought your eyes were extremely good? | 09:27 |
RichEd | morning all :) | 09:27 |
cbx33 | hey RichEd did you get the spreadshet | 09:28 |
RichEd | hey highvoltage ... saw this comment ... can't find background [aah, so that explains why my suspend doesn't work. i thouhgt it was this new laptop] explain if you have a moment | 09:29 |
highvoltage | hey cbx33 | 09:29 |
highvoltage | hi RichEd | 09:30 |
highvoltage | RichEd: i broke my suspend by using a fork of usplash that does high resolutions and other fancy stuff (like plaing video, etc) | 09:31 |
cbx33 | yikes Yagisan | 09:31 |
cbx33 | hi highvoltage | 09:31 |
highvoltage | it breaks suspend because new bioses and display cards are basically junk. | 09:31 |
cbx33 | my eyes are screwed but for a totally different reason | 09:31 |
highvoltage | and don't work like their supposed to. | 09:31 |
Yagisan | cbx33: nice isn't it o_O | 09:31 |
highvoltage | when you use lower resolutions and colour depths, then the bios works like it should, and resets your display when you unsuspend. | 09:31 |
cbx33 | Yagisan: not really :p | 09:32 |
RichEd | highvoltage: okay :) was wondering where hibernate files are kept and wanted to read more ... any advice ? | 09:32 |
RichEd | cbx33: yessir i sure did ... was up till past pumpkin time getting my notebook booting in Ed / Ub / Kub ... all sorted :) ... ready to dive into openoffice dos today | 09:32 |
crimsun | we suspend-to-disk in the primary swap. | 09:32 |
highvoltage | RichEd: when you hibernate, your memory is stored in your swap partition | 09:33 |
highvoltage | RichEd: when you suspend, it stays in RAM | 09:33 |
RichEd | thanks highvoltage & crimsun ... so all 3 boots will share the same hibernate disk space, will clear & tidy on shutdown & reboot ... most excellent | 09:34 |
RichEd | cbx33: openoffice docs not dos (doos :P) | 09:35 |
cbx33 | does that mean you can't hibernate all three at the same time? | 09:35 |
cbx33 | RichEd: ;p | 09:35 |
highvoltage | RichEd: watch your language! | 09:35 |
cbx33 | highvoltage: he keeps doing that :p | 09:36 |
cbx33 | hehehe | 09:36 |
RichEd | quick opinion ?? aim vs xchat <- pros / cons < need to make a decision for my standard IRC | 09:37 |
cbx33 | xchat | 09:37 |
cbx33 | would be my choice | 09:37 |
highvoltage | irssi would be my choise | 09:37 |
highvoltage | *choice | 09:37 |
cbx33 | heheh | 09:37 |
highvoltage | xchat would be my second choice. I don't know about an aim IRC clien. | 09:38 |
RichEd | at a first glance, aim does more than xchat no ? (aim is default install on my edubuntu, xchat is an option to fetch) | 09:38 |
RichEd | aim looks like it has ICQ and other instant messenger stuff | 09:38 |
ogra | yeah its an instant messenger ... | 09:39 |
Yagisan | I like gaim, but it needs more work for IRC | 09:39 |
ogra | not really suited for irc imho | 09:39 |
Yagisan | eg | 09:39 |
crimsun | if you mean Gaim, yes, it handles multiple protocols. It's quite ... unintuitive for IRC, though. | 09:39 |
Yagisan | /kick doesn't seem to work | 09:39 |
cbx33 | crimsun: totally | 09:39 |
ogra | haha | 09:39 |
RichEd | highvoltage: pray extoll on the virtues of irssi ? (in a short concise sentence) | 09:39 |
ogra | highvoltage, pong | 09:39 |
crimsun | the UI is /horrible/ | 09:39 |
cbx33 | morning ogra | 09:39 |
RichEd | i'm using xchat for win right now ... and i quite like it's style | 09:40 |
cbx33 | RichEd: xchat is probably the most intutive | 09:40 |
cbx33 | imho | 09:40 |
Yagisan | but gaim does work on all protocols I need | 09:40 |
ogra | ++ | 09:40 |
highvoltage | RichEd: the nicest thing about irssi is you can run it in screen | 09:41 |
cbx33 | highvoltage: true | 09:41 |
RichEd | morning ogra ... | 09:41 |
highvoltage | RichEd: so you don't have to exit your client when switching between kubuntu/xubuntu/ubuntu | 09:41 |
highvoltage | you can also run it remotely, which is handy when irc ports are firewalled, or if you disconnect from the network a lot | 09:42 |
cbx33 | edubuntu....you missed it off the list :p | 09:42 |
highvoltage | morning ogra | 09:42 |
cbx33 | brb | 09:42 |
highvoltage | i actually meant kde/xfce/gnome :) | 09:42 |
crimsun | I think the nicest thing about irssi running in screen is its proxy module so you can continue to use X-Chat to connect to your irssi proxy over an ssh tunnel without losing a step. | 09:42 |
RichEd | highvoltage: do you mean switching "interface" as opposed to rebooting into alternate os | 09:42 |
highvoltage | ogra: i have a bit of a radical idea for ltsp | 09:42 |
highvoltage | ogra: but it's so crazy it just might work (apologies for flintism) | 09:42 |
highvoltage | RichEd: switching interface | 09:43 |
RichEd | okay ... may chat to you about the later ... i've gone the 3 boot option | 09:43 |
RichEd | anyway will install xchat in edubuntu for now .. and get going quickly & easily in an interface i am familiar with ... and check out the irssi later | 09:43 |
highvoltage | ogra: last night i was thinking about ways to make a diskless fat client better, and I thought that it might be completely redundant to have a seperate chroot for the clients | 09:43 |
highvoltage | ogra: so i thought, it might be better to export / to the nfs clients, and then use a free runlevel (such as runlevel 7) to boot the clients from | 09:44 |
ogra | indeed it is | 09:44 |
ogra | nah | 09:44 |
highvoltage | then, you solve a lot of problems | 09:44 |
highvoltage | such as maintenance, and how to install software... even things like getting the session information and lagnuage packs are easier. | 09:45 |
ogra | just add something to ltsp-client that makes it die if FAT_CLIENT is set ... so the booting goes on up to gdm | 09:45 |
highvoltage | ogra: ah, even better! | 09:45 |
highvoltage | ogra: but then I thought, is there then even a reason to have a think client chroot, because you could do the same for thin clients, but just run ldm instead of gdm? | 09:46 |
highvoltage | s/think/thin | 09:46 |
ogra | well, ldm isnt really written for local logins | 09:46 |
highvoltage | so the /opt/ltsp directory could then be entirely dropped, and ltsp would then just become a few scripts. | 09:46 |
highvoltage | ogra: i didn't mean for local logins, i menat for thin clients | 09:47 |
ogra | oh, you want to export / instead of /opt/ltsp | 09:47 |
highvoltage | (sorry for my typos, extremely lagged here) | 09:47 |
highvoltage | ogra: yes. i understand that that could have its own problems too | 09:47 |
ogra | yup | 09:48 |
ogra | some majore ones, like security :) | 09:48 |

highvoltage | that's what I thought too :( | 09:48 |
highvoltage | but there must be a way to get around it. | 09:48 |
ogra | hmm, no usplash on ppc live | 09:48 |
ogra | highvoltage, well i like the idea of having a distinct system thats tailored for the task | 09:49 |
ogra | the speedups i did wouldnt work in a real system for example | 09:49 |
ogra | boot speedup i mean | 09:49 |
highvoltage | for example? | 09:50 |
ogra | the initscripts we dropped | 09:50 |
highvoltage | you could do that with a new runlevel. | 09:50 |
ogra | thats no option in a debian based system | 09:50 |
highvoltage | aah | 09:50 |
ogra | you dont touch the defaults here | 09:50 |

RichEd | question posed by xchat channel: why make xchat-gnome default over xchat (via Synaptic search & install) ? | 11:41 |
ogra | who does that ? | 11:44 |
RichEd | ogra: not sure what you mean ? | 11:45 |
ogra | who makes xchat-gnome default over xchat ? | 11:49 |
RichEd | i was using Xchat on XP ... after our chat this morning, i wanted to install on Edubuntu, so opened Synaptics, searched for xchat & installed what was listed | 11:50 |
ogra | oh, you probably dont have universe enabled | 11:50 |
RichEd | how do i do that ? | 11:50 |
=== ogra_ [n=ogra@p5089F9F9.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #edubuntu | ||
ogra_ | go into the add/remove applications tool from your menu | 12:00 |
ogra_ | on the top right (at least in edgy) it has a selector | 12:00 |
ogra_ | select "all apps" | 12:00 |
ogra_ | then search for xchat | 12:00 |
ogra_ | RichEd, ^^^^^^^^^ | 12:01 |
cbx33 | :D | 12:01 |
RichEd | doing that now ... | 12:04 |
RichEd | okay ... i need to select : show unsported applications and then i see: XChat IRC | 12:06 |
ogra_ | yep | 12:06 |
ogra_ | above xchat-gnome i think :) | 12:06 |
RichEd | if i don't do that: i see" XChat - GNOME IRC | 12:07 |
RichEd | nope below ! | 12:07 |
ogra_ | -gnome was moved to main, xchat was moved to universe, dont ask mwe why ... | 12:07 |
ogra_ | well, for me its above :) | 12:08 |
RichEd | so if the average user is told : search for and install xchat ... they end up with Gnome version | 12:08 |
ogra_ | well, they end up with the version we support | 12:08 |
RichEd | (and then ask some misdirected interface questions in #xchat "why is this different to what I saw in XP yesterday") :) | 12:09 |
ogra_ | again, dont ask me why i'm a big opponent to xchat-gnome as well as i dont like the idea of abusing an IM client to do IRC | 12:09 |
ogra_ | but seb128 and the desktop team decided both of these ... | 12:09 |
RichEd | but i know we can't support all, and GNMOE looks a bit simpler for the new user | 12:09 |
ogra_ | it lacks a lot of features | 12:10 |
ogra_ | and i (as many other people ) find the UI unusable | 12:10 |
RichEd | yep ... that is the sort of question i was asking in #xchat = no right click whois display | 12:10 |
ogra | yup | 12:11 |
RichEd | was also goping to ask about alternate nicks in settings ... | 12:11 |
ogra | and you cant move the userlist to the other side for example | 12:11 |
ogra | i find that very disturbing | 12:11 |
RichEd | you can't even show it ! unless you click on the button (transient window) | 12:11 |
ogra | the topic ui is horrible | 12:11 |
ogra | either you cant read the topic or it eats all of your windowsize | 12:12 |
RichEd | ... okay will install XChat ... and make notes for later suggestions ... | 12:12 |
RichEd | tx. | 12:12 |
ogra | i'd have goine for xchat in edubuntu ... | 12:12 |
ogra | but not for xchat-gnome | 12:12 |
ogra | (we have some freedom what apps we select ;) ) | 12:13 |
ogra | going for xchat wiould have meant that we'd have to support the same app with different UI twice ... so that wasnt an option | 12:13 |
RichEd | i'll boot to Ubuntu just now & see if the install behavior is the same (and Kubuntu) ... | 12:16 |

jsgotangco | hi | 12:18 |
ogra | ubuntu is surely the same | 12:18 |
ogra | kubuntu will likely be different i'm not sure they even have a install/remove equivalent | 12:18 |
highvoltage | RichEd: do you reboot when you want another display environment? | 12:19 |
=== ogra ponders dropping kig and getting drgeo to main and into edubuntu ... | ||
RichEd | yes highvoltage : reasons as follows: | 12:20 |
RichEd | (1) want to test all installs as they are released | 12:20 |
highvoltage | ogra: are you on the k12osn mailing list? some misguided soul posted edubuntu feedback there :) | 12:20 |
RichEd | (2) want to learn the exact differences | 12:20 |
ogra | heh, no, i'm not :) | 12:20 |
=== jsgotangco just had a wonderful lunch with the head of one of the most powerful and influential non-profit foundation in the country regarding edubuntu | ||
RichEd | (3) want to learn the similarities of the underlying installs | 12:20 |
highvoltage | RichEd: if you don't mind running non-free software, you could also use vmware to install it, which is very time consuming | 12:20 |
highvoltage | i mean, time saving :) | 12:21 |
RichEd | and want to be able to demo to others as they would experience it | 12:21 |
ogra | RichEd, apart from the desktop they are all identical | 12:21 |
jsgotangco | RichEd: i think we're in business here | 12:21 |
ogra | jsgotangco, YAY ! | 12:21 |
jsgotangco | ogra: i think you'll be coming here soon =) | 12:21 |
jsgotangco | *by force* | 12:22 |
RichEd | hundreds jsgotangco :) | 12:22 |
ogra | and i think our knot 1 is ready to go ! (after three days and several nightshifts *sigh*) | 12:22 |
jsgotangco | ogra: i actually had a successful install an hour ago for amd64 | 12:22 |
ogra | jsgotangco, hehe, cool, i'll come with pleasure :) | 12:22 |
RichEd | highvoltage: i already noted your comments earlier, and JaneW explained some of this | 12:22 |
RichEd | but i am a 1st principles sort of a person ... learn from the gound up without any shortcuts before i undertstand them fully | 12:23 |
ogra | jsgotangco, me too ... i386 did make probs ... but i found out it simply doesn like the APIC of my turon CPU | 12:23 |
ogra | *turion | 12:23 |
jsgotangco | i think the baseline is successful installation after all its just a bunch of syncs | 12:23 |
jsgotangco | right? | 12:23 |
RichEd | so i will be ready for simplification & tips in a while ... and have planned my partitions so that i can change without losing any data | 12:23 |
jsgotangco | there isn't much edgy features in knot-1 except a bunch of new apps | 12:25 |
RichEd | [ i always used to get moaned at in school for deriving theoroms in an exam instaed of learning them as given in class ] :) | 12:25 |
RichEd | jsgotangco: send me an email update if you have a chance ... is this related to yesterdays chat ? | 12:26 |
ogra | jsgotangco, yep, but there are things like only half written sources.list files etc ... | 12:27 |
jsgotangco | RichEd: nope this is bigger, i just had this a few weeks ago, but only had the chance to had lunch with the head today | 12:27 |
jsgotangco | RichEd: this is more tangible in a sense | 12:27 |
jsgotangco | RichEd: because its led by the foundation of the biggest media network here | 12:28 |
jsgotangco | im drafting an email later about it | 12:28 |
ogra | thats the countrywide thing ? | 12:28 |
RichEd | well even better then :) results & a voice to sing about it ! | 12:28 |
jsgotangco | ogra: yeah | 12:28 |
ogra | yay | 12:28 |
jsgotangco | i will most likely work there | 12:28 |
ogra | cool ! | 12:28 |
jsgotangco | ogra: http://www.abs-cbnfoundation.com/ | 12:29 |
jsgotangco | why is their site in IIS | 12:29 |
jsgotangco | heh | 12:29 |
ogra | "in the service of the filipino child" ... nice slogan :) | 12:30 |
ogra | i wonder if the installer is clever enough to carry over the nolapic option to grub ... | 12:31 |
jsgotangco | so if things push through, i'll be working on ubuntu/edubuntu but not hired directly by canonical heh | 12:32 |
jsgotangco | full time | 12:32 |
ogra | i never tried that | 12:32 |
ogra | wow | 12:32 |
jsgotangco | i tink that's a nice thought | 12:32 |
jsgotangco | doing something like what guadalinex did | 12:32 |
ogra | so if i every should get fired i know where to ask for a job as your helper :) | 12:32 |
jsgotangco | this is a very influential foundation | 12:33 |
ogra | s/every/ever/ | 12:33 |
jsgotangco | ogra: http://www.newsflash.org/2004/02/sb/sb003803.htm | 12:34 |
jsgotangco | i knew from starters they need something happening when i saw her office PC running windows98 | 12:36 |
=== ogra wonderswhy all these wimen in education are called lopez ... :) | ||
jsgotangco | ogra: she's into meditation and she saying that ubuntu is spiritually clean | 12:38 |
ogra | the boss of linex is also a woman and her lkast name is lopez :) | 12:38 |
jsgotangco | that was unexpected (ubuntu being spiritually clean) | 12:38 |
=== jsgotangco in his mind he was telling himself he just likes using linux | ||
jsgotangco | because her yoga teacher introduced her to ubuntu and sayign that this is "clean" because the people behind it have good intentions compared to what you are using "windows" | 12:39 |
cbx33 | ogra: did you say your script is updated now? | 12:40 |
ogra | cbx33, no, and i wont ... simply because adding such an option is useless :) | 12:40 |
ogra | we dont have dapper daily CDs :) | 12:40 |
jsgotangco | hmmm | 12:40 |
ogra | there are always only the devel distro ones ... | 12:40 |
cbx33 | :S | 12:40 |
jsgotangco | if i use the script on an edgy iso, it'll rsycn to dapper? | 12:40 |
ogra | nope | 12:41 |
ogra | it defaults to edgy | 12:41 |
cbx33 | what were you saying the other day then about the new script? | 12:41 |
cbx33 | I'm confused? | 12:41 |
ogra | in this regard its updated ... | 12:41 |
jsgotangco | i thought it just refers to the file name | 12:41 |
cbx33 | oh, did you mean to sync back to dapper? | 12:41 |
ogra | but i didnt add an --distro option | 12:41 |
cbx33 | no i didn't want that | 12:41 |
cbx33 | :p | 12:41 |
ogra | because that'd be uesless :) | 12:41 |
jsgotangco | becuase i used it and i was able to rsynch | 12:41 |
ogra | yep | 12:41 |
cbx33 | but as long as it' updated I'll fix up my gui for it | 12:42 |
jsgotangco | so it doesn't need an update :P | 12:42 |
jsgotangco | because it works as is | 12:42 |
ogra | it was updated :) | 12:42 |
jsgotangco | when? | 12:42 |
ogra | a week ago or so | 12:42 |
jsgotangco | ahh | 12:42 |
jsgotangco | im safe then | 12:42 |
cbx33 | :p | 12:42 |
jsgotangco | well going back | 12:43 |
jsgotangco | talking about ubuntu being spiritually clean was a bit weird though | 12:43 |
ogra | anyway, since its really dumb it only rsyncs what it finds under http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/daily/current/ | 12:43 |
jsgotangco | yeah that's what i thought | 12:43 |
ogra | and there is no distro name in that url :) | 12:43 |
ogra | but it assembles the iso names from the distro name ... so i had to adjust that | 12:44 |
cbx33 | yes | 12:44 |
cbx33 | I know :p | 12:44 |
jsgotangco | but if you already have an existing iso, it doesn't need an adjustment | 12:44 |
ogra | well, it does | 12:44 |
jsgotangco | but you cannot use it to update a dapper iso to edgy | 12:45 |
jsgotangco | can you? | 12:45 |
ogra | edgy-install-amd64.iso | 12:45 |
ogra | there is edgy in it :) | 12:45 |
jsgotangco | because what i did was download edgy first, then rsync it using the script from the dailies | 12:45 |
ogra | it rsyncs $distro-$flavor-$arch.iso | 12:45 |
ogra | i copied the dapper isos and rsynced on top of that ... | 12:47 |
ogra | didnt really give any advantage :) | 12:47 |
jsgotangco | heh | 12:49 |
jsgotangco | what's the chance that this build is knot-1 | 12:50 |
jsgotangco | high? | 12:50 |
jsgotangco | because it iinstalls fine | 12:50 |
ogra | look into your source.list :) | 12:50 |
ogra | we'll have another (last) build | 12:51 |
RichEd | jsgotangco: re the spiritual thing ... lovely comment ... that is the sort of thing we can use as a "real user quote" ... | 12:51 |
RichEd | fits with the whole ubuntu meaning ... | 12:52 |
jsgotangco | i didnt think of it at all when she said that | 12:52 |
jsgotangco | so it was kind of interesting | 12:52 |
jsgotangco | RichEd: im writing an introductory email later | 12:52 |
jsgotangco | as we have discussed | 12:52 |
RichEd | i'll make a note of it ... we can sure use that in the press ... once we have "cleansed her" and are ready to talk about success | 12:53 |
RichEd | jsgotangco: tx | 12:53 |
jsgotangco | "proprietary os cleansing" lol | 12:54 |
jsgotangco | RichEd: have you seen the link i gave to ogra? | 12:54 |
jsgotangco | RichEd: : http://www.newsflash.org/2004/02/sb/sb003803.htm | 12:55 |
RichEd | purge baby purge ... we'll also offer exorcisms for particulary difficult embedded systems :) | 12:57 |
cbx33 | is the convention desktop and alternative now? | 12:57 |
cbx33 | instead of live and install? | 12:57 |
jsgotangco | yes | 12:57 |
jsgotangco | since dapper | 12:57 |
RichEd | jsgotangco: opening link while i load up a coffee ... | 12:58 |
cbx33 | I don;t actually think I need to do anything | 12:58 |
cbx33 | anyone in the mood to try out grasynco? | 12:58 |
cbx33 | the gui to rsyncer.sh ? | 12:58 |

cbx33 | I will not be held responsible if it breaks your isos | 01:01 |
cbx33 | :p | 01:01 |
cbx33 | actually..... | 01:02 |
cbx33 | I want to make one more revision | 01:02 |

jsgotangco | heh | 01:11 |
jsgotangco | sound like an italian job | 01:11 |
cbx33 | heheh | 01:11 |
cbx33 | yup | 01:11 |
cbx33 | it works fine it you already have isos there | 01:11 |
cbx33 | just need to do the create bit | 01:11 |
cbx33 | which is easy | 01:11 |

ogra_ | not yet ... | 01:24 |
ogra_ | but that iso will be it | 01:24 |
ogra_ | we will make an official milestone release later today | 01:24 |
=== JoergD [n=joerg@AC9E5786.ipt.aol.com] has joined #edubuntu | ||
rodarvus | good | 01:25 |
ogra_ | the current rebuild of the isos needs testig before we can release it ... | 01:25 |
ogra_ | but since its only a fix in the sources.list we rebuilt it for i dont expect any regressions | 01:26 |
rodarvus | do you know how ubuntu and kubuntu are progressing? | 01:26 |
ogra_ | same speed | 01:27 |
rodarvus | ubiquity is sorted, then? | 01:27 |
ogra_ | i started off earlier with testing to get the ltsp pieces sorted ... but they have taken up | 01:27 |
ogra_ | well, roughly ... | 01:27 |
ogra_ | its the first *alpha* release ... i wouldnt expect it to work really flawless | 01:28 |

ogra_ | not really | 01:29 |
jsgotangco | when you install knot-1 is like installing debian sid heh | 01:30 |
ogra_ | development just starts ... so the breakage and new features are still ahead of us | 01:30 |

ogra_ | highvoltage, well, flint said different things after he met the k12 guys | 01:47 |

ogra_ | i'm really looking forward to edgy+1 already ... where al the standards are finally done and we can start playing with the instresting extra features nobody else has :) | 01:49 |
ogra_ | and where we have full 6 months again ... | 01:49 |
jsgotangco | yeah we're suppose to have fun on this cycle | 01:50 |
ogra_ | well, we were supposed to have fun in edgy already ... | 01:50 |
ogra_ | but shortening the development to 4 moths somehow avoids that ... | 01:51 |
jsgotangco | i had fun a few kernels ago | 01:51 |

ogra_ | cbx33, you are admin of the ML, thats why you see it as it would have been posted to the ML | 02:32 |

jsgotangco | oh yeah | 02:55 |
jsgotangco | there's a private admin list | 02:55 |
highvoltage | ogra_: sometimes you have to take what flint says with a pinch of salt, it seems :) | 03:02 |
ogra_ | sure, i know that | 03:03 |
ogra_ | but he was so extremely disappointed | 03:03 |
highvoltage | the one guy I work with, Hilton, is also like that. when he's extremely happy or extremely unhappy or extremely anything, I have trouble taking him seriously, because he has these moods where he jumps from one mood to the other. I think flint is very much the same. They're both great guys, they just have their own weird personality issues. | 03:06 |
highvoltage | I've used K12LTSP for two years in many schools before Ubuntu, and even before Edubuntu was around, K12LTSP pales in comparison, imho. | 03:06 |
=== ogra_ still has a problem not thinking about a blonde girl if highvoltage talks about hilton :) | ||

jsgotangco | pretty good, there's a good chance i'll work in a foundation and do edubuntu/ubuntu full time | 03:58 |

mhz | hm, interesting, hehehe | 06:30 |
dan_young | mhz: I've got a BA in education and did student teaching before turning geek... | 06:30 |
mhz | LaserJock: well, I have worked as teacher for about 3 years. | 06:30 |
mhz | LaserJock: dan_young, the thing is this would my 3rd attempt to start working in Edubuntu-Study-Content idea | 06:31 |
mhz | and I was analizing exelearning or Edubuntu-Study-Content idea. | 06:31 |
dan_young | mhz: I did enough lesson planning in college to know how labor-intensive it is | 06:32 |
=== Petaris [n=Petaris@216.56.37.162] has joined #edubuntu | ||
mhz | so, if more people with teaching experience could take a look at exelearning, maybe I could be told... ESC is not a as good as exelearning | 06:33 |
mhz | dan_young: indeed | 06:33 |
mhz | dan_young: that is why I have so much interest in ESC and exelearning | 06:33 |
mhz | teachers do need lot of help | 06:35 |
mhz | esp,in material creation and lesson planning | 06:35 |

LaserJock | \o/ | 07:17 |
Petaris | Hi LaserJock | 07:21 |
ogra_ | LaserJock, ? | 07:21 |
ogra_ | tell us about the reason for the party :) | 07:22 |
highvoltage | yeah! | 07:22 |
LaserJock | ogra_> Kamion, Mithrandir, edubuntu is good to go ... | 07:22 |
ogra_ | ah, yeah :) | 07:22 |
ogra_ | indeed | 07:22 |
ogra_ | did you ever doubt that ? ;) | 07:22 |
LaserJock | no | 07:22 |
ogra_ | *g* | 07:22 |
ogra_ | i did | 07:22 |
LaserJock | I can't doubt the magnificent ogra | 07:22 |
ogra_ | but finally we have something t play with :) | 07:23 |
LaserJock | you guys read eweek stuff? | 07:23 |
ogra_ | nope | 07:24 |
LaserJock | hmm, they mentioned the packaging guide I did in their review of Dapper. jerome was really excited about it | 07:24 |
ogra_ | cool !! | 07:25 |
ogra_ | indeed thats something to be excited about | 07:25 |
LaserJock | "We were impressed to find included among the very good documentation that ships with Ubuntu a software packaging guide." | 07:25 |
highvoltage | LaserJock: ooh! | 07:25 |
highvoltage | LaserJock: well done | 07:25 |
ogra_ | yeah ! | 07:25 |
=== ogra_ cheers for LaserJock | ||
=== highvoltage cheers for LaserJock too \O/ | ||
LaserJock | well, it wasn't all me that's for sure | 07:26 |
ogra_ | well, you made it happen ... | 07:26 |
highvoltage | I don't think it would've happened without you | 07:26 |
LaserJock | but it is cool to see that people outside MOTU see it as valuable | 07:26 |
ogra_ | no matter if you wrote every word | 07:26 |
ogra_ | brb reboot | 07:26 |
LaserJock | I'm hoping it sort of becomes a mark of how excited Ubuntu is for the community to participate in their distro | 07:27 |
mhz | LaserJock: \o/ \o/ \o/ | 07:27 |
highvoltage | LaserJock: what do you mean? | 07:28 |
LaserJock | well, I believe that one of Ubuntu's primary strengths is it's ability to turn users into contributors | 07:28 |
LaserJock | we build a true community around the distro | 07:28 |
highvoltage | ok | 07:28 |
=== ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu | ||
LaserJock | and I think that having an easy to use guide that is designed specifically for getting people from knowing nothing about packaging | 07:29 |
LaserJock | to becoming MOTUs and contributors is somewhat of a distinguishing thing for us | 07:30 |
LaserJock | it's got a long ways to go yet | 07:30 |
LaserJock | but I've been please so far with the feedback I've gotten from people | 07:30 |
LaserJock | I got this guy the other day who hadn't even installed Ubuntu yet, didn't know what ./configure was but has a love for Linux and wants to help out | 07:31 |
LaserJock | and now he is on his way to making Ubuntu *his* distro | 07:31 |
LaserJock | absolutely exiting | 07:31 |

ogra | crimsun, well *went bad | 08:25 |
ogra | * would imply it worked before | 08:25 |
ogra | but it doesnt work with 2.6.15 either | 08:25 |
crimsun | hmm, long shot, but with breezy's 2.6.12? | 08:26 |
ogra | hmm, i dont have a 2.6.12 around atm ... | 08:26 |
ogra | i'll try if i'm in the other house | 08:27 |
ogra | (i'm moving and have only my two lappies here) | 08:27 |
crimsun | ok, because those symptoms sound eerily similar to my experience with a junk OEM optical drive | 08:27 |
ogra | its a HD and i've already heard that there are probs with the HP pavillon ze2000 usb stack ... | 08:28 |
ogra | so i doubtits buggy hw | 08:28 |

Burgwork | RichEd, excellent. What are you doing for canonical? | 11:33 |
mhz | RichEd: so you got a tattoo too? | 11:33 |
HedgeMage | RichEd: in that case you must be cool :P | 11:33 |

RichEd | Burgwork: "Education Programme Manager" to be client & relationship facing | 11:34 |
Burgwork | ogra, some of us actually work | 11:34 |
mhz | RichEd: however, my main concern is to encourage LAm people to start contributing actively instead of staying like end-users only. And the difficult part so far has been motivating teachers to jump in | 11:34 |
Burgwork | RichEd, ah, cool | 11:34 |
Burgwork | ogra, ;) | 11:34 |

mhz | RichEd: but with all due respect, the one on JaneW looks sexy | 11:35 |
RichEd | underpaid, overworked, have to teach kids who know more about tech gadgets that they do | 11:35 |
RichEd | have to take more training themselves, look after school sports ... | 11:36 |
RichEd | and fetch their own kids from school | 11:36 |
RichEd | etc. | 11:36 |
pygi | HedgeMage: I've been on a trip lately, haunting my hosting provider people, and stuff instead of contributing | 11:36 |
RichEd | which is why we need to create compelling human factors | 11:36 |
HedgeMage | pygi: ahh fun fun :) | 11:37 |
mhz | RichEd: hmm, simply put, Edubuntu needs teachers (lab people). Teachers can help us build a community with edu contents. | 11:37 |
crimsun | teaching is a 24/7 job. We literally get NO break. | 11:37 |
RichEd | give me a sec to type something neatly, and i will paste a good analagy | 11:37 |

ogra | pygi, use server housing with a machine you own ... not a vserver :) | 11:38 |
pygi | ogra: eh :) | 11:39 |
mhz | crimsun: have you seen my idea of Edubuntu-Study-Content? I have trouble in my head picturing if such idea is good enough to work on. Or I should just start promoting a similar idea via Exelarning | 11:39 |
crimsun | let's put it this way. Teachers don't have free weekends or nights, unlike some mobile calling plans ;-) | 11:39 |
mhz | lol | 11:39 |
mhz | indeed | 11:39 |
mhz | 24/7 | 11:39 |
crimsun | mhz: I'm not familiar; would you link me, please? | 11:40 |
mhz | sure | 11:40 |
mhz | about the 2 things? | 11:40 |
crimsun | E-S-C and Exelarning | 11:40 |
pygi | HedgeMage: poke? :P | 11:41 |
HedgeMage | pygi: because then you'd need lots of expensive bandwidth | 11:41 |
HedgeMage | that's why I don't do it anyhow | 11:41 |
mhz | crimsun: https://launchpad.net/people/edubuntu-study-content | https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuStudyContent | 11:42 |
pygi | HedgeMage: right, but this way I cant host what I want :P | 11:43 |
pygi | Anyway, what are we upto with this meeting? | 11:43 |
crimsun | mhz: thanks | 11:43 |
RichEd | mhz: see pvt window for paste flood ... | 11:43 |
mhz | yeah, reading it | 11:44 |
HedgeMage | pygi: true :) | 11:49 |
HedgeMage | pygi: things are just going slow so since the last meeting fell apart when I got stuck on the army base I thought we'd try another round to make sure we're all on the same page... should be fairly quick. | 11:49 |
HedgeMage | pygi: scheduled it for after the docteam meeting so if they have anything that effects us it can get mentioned | 11:50 |
HedgeMage | that's about it | 11:50 |
cbx33 | mhz, what did you not understand? | 11:50 |
Petaris | my scroll wheel is not working as expected in edubuntu | 11:50 |
pygi | HedgeMage: oki, thanks | 11:51 |
HedgeMage | np | 11:51 |
Petaris | a look at the xorg.conf file shows what seems to be the correct settings though | 11:51 |
mhz | cbx33: your question | 11:51 |
LaserJock | HedgeMage and pygi: it would be cool if you came to the doc team meeting | 11:51 |
cbx33 | which question? | 11:52 |
HedgeMage | LaserJock: planning to. | 11:52 |
HedgeMage | LaserJock: that's why I waited to schedule the EH one | 11:52 |
pygi | LaserJock: when would that be if I may ask? | 11:52 |
mhz | crimsun: http://www.exelearning.org/?q=about | http://www.exelearning.org/?q=screenshots | 11:52 |
LaserJock | pygi: Friday 19:00 UTC, I believe. I'm thinking it will be in #ubuntu-doc since there is another meeting scheduled in #ubuntu-meeting at that time | 11:54 |
=== HedgeMage nods | ||
HedgeMage | LaserJock: yes, it conflicts with the marketing meeting | 11:55 |
mhz | crimsun: exelearning will give you Moodle and SCORM content | 11:55 |
crimsun | mm, moodle. | 11:55 |
crimsun | I remember that bugfix-from-hell | 11:56 |
pygi | LaserJock: hm,oki | 11:56 |
pygi | LaserJock: I am afraid that all I can promise atm is that I will try to attend | 11:56 |
LaserJock | that's all I can ever do ;-) | 11:57 |
LaserJock | but this will be the doc team's Edgy planning meeting so it would be good to have somebody from the handbook team there | 11:57 |
pygi | LaserJock: as I said, I'll try | 11:58 |
pygi | and Susan will be there also probably | 11:58 |
HedgeMage | LaserJock: Unless the Army steals me again, I'll be there. | 12:03 |
LaserJock | heh | 12:03 |
pygi | HedgeMage: #banyantree just for a sec pls :) | 12:10 |
