cbx33mhz, lvm I would presume01:22
=== mhz is very interested in UserModeLinux performance and reliability..though me is ignorant about it
cbx33mdz, Xen is better performing01:30
mdzmhz: they solve quite different problems01:30
cbx33true01:30
cbx33sorry mhz didnt quite tab enough01:30
mhzmdz: thx for clarifying... Have you used UML ?01:31
cbx33no01:32
mdzmhz: yes, I used it extensively a couple of years ago01:32
cbx33it does depend on the application01:33
mhzall i know about it, is that Univ. of Illinois use it for students while they learn Unix SysAdmin. So they log in, they get whole server to practice.01:33
cbx33mhz, we did that for 4 students01:33
cbx33gave them a Xen machine each01:33
mhzand is performance good enough? is it a reliable solution?01:34
cbx33yeh it worked fine01:35
cbx33it was oen a crappy 400mhz machine01:35
cbx33with only just enough ram01:35
cbx33each VM had 32Mb RAM01:35
cbx33it was for teaching CLI01:36
cbx33they were all logging into each others macines over ssh01:36

cbx33we did some apt-get updating01:36

cbx33they loved it01:37
cbx33they're only 1401:37
cbx33I run the "YouthLUG" at the school01:37
=== mhz will try it as soon as he has his own machine
cbx33mdz, btw, I mailed the list, have had great responce so far :D01:37
cbx33mhz, yeh Xen was pretty easy to isntall01:38
mdzcbx33: good01:38
cbx33mhz, I downloaded the sources from the net01:38

jsgotangcooh right summer blues10:23
cbx33well I wouldn't call it sunny here :p10:23
cbx33RichEd: is the meeting today?10:23

jsgotangcohmm its neat that battesea power station would become a commercial complex10:26
ograRichEd, the k&k is a very nice hotel btw, i really enjoy sitting in the garden in te morning there with my first coffee :)10:27
RichEdgreat ... i'll probably be stressing to get to office & wrap up all the threads of the last 3 weeks into some sense to presnet to my new boss ;)10:28
RichEdgoing to check your emil now ...10:29
RichEdemil <- email10:29
RichEdthanks ogra : some good constructive points10:31
ograi hope so :)10:32
ograeven though most of it is redundant :)10:32
RichEdogra: 1 last question around this ... (i don't think we need to meet today) would a regular weekly 30 mins IRC chat help for ogra, rodavarus & riched ?10:32
RichEdjust a brain dump touch sides sort of a thing10:33
ograkind of a edubuntu management meeting ? 10:33
ograsounds good to me 10:33
RichEdyes ... just to drop stuff onto me that is gloating in the heads but not getting around to emailing etc.10:33
ograyup10:33
RichEdfloating not gloating :)10:33
RichEdredundant = reinforcement = 2 x repeat = needs focus !10:34
RichEdtx. will let mark know we meet management / core team & silbs & sabdfl & mdz can have a standing optional invite10:35

cbx33progress on the ubuntu sounds front :D10:39
=== cbx33 is now on the artwork mailing list - much more feedback from there
cbx33RichEd: sorry about that strange mail from bolivia10:40
cbx33not sure why it got sent to me10:41
RichEdcbx33: we need support on the ground ... it looks as if the mail contact may be of some help ... thanks for giving some filter thought, but it may just be a case of awkward english10:42
ograRichEd, are you listed anywhere as educational contact yet ? website/wiki etc ?10:43
RichEdhttps://wiki.canonical.com/RichardWeideman <- just here atm ... need to move copy to wiki.edubuntu.com & also announce on fridge10:45
RichEdbrb10:45
spaceyRichEd: hi there10:47
spaceyRichEd: what kind of stuff can you do for educational institutes?10:47
RichEdhi spacey ... i'm a programme manager ... not a supermarket :)10:48
RichEdwhat sort of thing is happening and wherr would you like help ?10:48
RichEdi'll need some specific direction - and then will be willing to help if it is constructive for both parties :)10:49
RichEdcan you mail me some background ... urls ... email ... & suggestions ?10:50
RichEdrichard.edubuntu@gmail.com10:50
cbx33dang RichEd I was gonna ask for my weekly groceries from you10:52
cbx33wrapped up in an edubuntu bag10:53
spaceyRichEd: well we just have some schools as customer who use edubuntu, and sometimes we get some other interested parties, i wonder what you i can tell them about you :P10:53
RichEdspacey: i'm very willing to help ... but with limited info, all i can suggest is to provide CDs which i know is trivial ...10:54
RichEdso if you could tell me things like what country, what city, any problems, any successes ?10:54
RichEdwhat sort of people are asking = end users, school administrators ?10:55
RichEdis there a local edu policy on FOSS vs MS ?10:55
RichEdis government interested in FOSS ?10:55
ograRichEd, it should also be promoted on www.edubuntu.org (the website)10:55
ogra(your role i mean)10:55
RichEdthat sort of thing ... even if you just dump your thoughts into a mail conversation ... it will be a start of a dialogue10:56
RichEdogra: noted ... added to my list ... will try for Friday to do that & then hit the fridge with a decent announcement once mark has given me clarity :)10:56
ograyup :)10:57
spaceyRichEd: well actually i'm in contact with some people who are lobying at the local government, you think you could mean something for them?11:01
=== pygi is looking for contributions to libburn, so if anybody's interested ;)
spaceyat least there are no local policies, except that MS gives everything for free :P11:02
cbx33pygi: I'd love to, but I'm swamped !11:02
RichEdspacey : yes ... i have been tasked with putting together a govt. summary intro for Edubuntu ... this is broader than just s/w and will also include FOSS benefits etc.11:02
pygicbx33, ;)11:02
ograpygi, did you take over upstream ?11:03
pygiogra, indeed I have, finally !!!11:03
ogracool11:03
RichEdso we can work on that to start ... i am just tied up now as i fly to london in 7 hours ... can you mail me ?11:03
pygiogra, there are several big enchantments coming ;)11:03
cbx33pygi: :D11:03
ograwell, basic functionallity would be a good start :P11:03
cbx33hahah11:04
pygimost notable of them for now is complete libisofs rewrite :P11:04
pygiogra, tickets please :)11:04
pygihttp://libburn.pykix.org/newticket :)11:04
spaceyRichEd: ok, something like that would be useful. I guess it will be announced when available, or should we keep in contact for that?11:04
pygiogra, would be great if you could file tickets for any basic functionality you have in mind =P11:05
RichEdstart a mail thread ... i'll bounce stuff backwards & forwards with you ... if i can add your req. to my scope of doc, i will end up with a better doc.11:05
spaceyRichEd: later this week i'll mail you the current situation, 11:06

=== RichEd is always willing to learn ... but as yet cannot fly to london without a plane
lucasvoogra: where?12:15
ogralucasvo, google ?12:15
=== RichEd also admits that as yet he might just about qualify for "script kiddie" or "repeat-recipe-bot" so will need to earn hackergochi status

bimberiRichEd: (conference) not really.  Just to say that Donna (KatteKrab on Freenode) is, from what I've observed, a real Linux Australia stalwart01:05
bimberiRichEd: she has achieved sponsorship from LA to attend the conference so it is considered a very good opportunity to spread the word01:06
RichEdbimberi: her mail was pretty professional & polite & to the point etc. usually a good sign of dedication & being well thought out01:06

RichEdhighvoltage: just was checking if you got the "suspect certificate" mail and if it was your dept ? or now with Matt Nuzum03:58
Amaranthogra: did you see my fun with dbus? :/04:10
ograAmaranth, yes, did you check hal ?04:11
=== cbx33 starts on creating some more sounds
Amaranthogra: it's interface ownership stuff is the same as mine04:12
Amaranthi copied avahi's but it's the same thing04:12
ograpitti can probably help out here 04:12
Amaranthbtw, it seems /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ isn't checked for these files, only /etc/dbus-1/system.d/04:13
Amaranthbut pkg-config says to put them in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/04:13
ograthe service file is the replacement for the initscript if you start willowng from dbus ...04:14
Amaranthoh :P04:14
ograsystem.d has the xml for the messages etc04:14
highvoltage /msg RichEd which mail was that?04:15
ograAmaranth, you can start willowng from dbus and use an ACL entry (look at /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf how to enable root access)04:16
Amaranthstart it from dbus?04:16

Amaranthnote to self: don't restart dbus04:41
Amaranthogra: dbus is now the one starting willowng, it still won't own the interface04:42
ograAmaranth, yes, you will need a reboot notification 04:42

ograsure you can ...04:48
lucasvoogra: and the first client is more expansive, because you also have to buy a server04:48

Petarisfor ltsp I just accept all the deffaults at install time right?05:34

PetarisYagisan: Do you know if there will be a painless way to move to edgy when it comes out?06:22
Petaris*besides a fresh install ;)06:22
YagisanPetaris, should be a simple dist-upgrade at that time. I've not checked if there is a grahical way to do it, but it can be done from the command line06:23
PetarisYagisan: good, I have my tape backup software running on this box and I would rather not have to set it up again06:24
YagisanPetaris, just change all "dapper" to "edgy" in /etc/apt/sources.list then run "sudo aptitude update" then "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" and sit back with a good coffee/tea06:25
Yagisan99.99% of the time, it works perfectly06:25
Petarisoh great, with my luck I'm the .01%06:27
Petarishaha06:27
ograYagisan, the update-manager is the preferred update method 06:28
ograwe dont care much for aptitude in ubuntu 06:29
Yagisanogra, as I said, I wasn't sure of there was a graphical method.06:29
Yagisanyou don't care for aptitude. /me cries06:29
ograits more than "a graphical method"06:29
ograupdate-manager has various checks and cares for additional ubuntu specific stuff06:30
ograaptitude doesnt ... neither does apt06:30
PetarisIs there a good resource/tutorial for local apps?06:30
ograu-m also removes replaced stuff betwen two releases for example06:31
Yagisanthat may be why every one of my headless servers failed an upgrade then :(06:31
PetarisI can't find a good example in the wiki06:31
ograonly the ltsp.org one afaik06:31
Petarisogra: ok, I'll look there06:31
ograYagisan, well apt-get dist-upgrade should work, it would just leave unused stuff behind06:31
ograPetaris, we dont support it yet, thats why its ot on our wiki ;)06:32
Yagisanthat it does. usually end up with some obsolte libs06:32

cbx33yes07:46
cbx33t-mobile are the only ones that do a decent data tarrif07:46
cbx33but it's totally the opposite07:46
highvoltagein south africa, it's about R0.50 per MB on mobiles (GPRS/EDGE/3G)07:46
cbx33$16 a month for unlimited07:46
highvoltageso that would be about 5p per meg07:46
cbx33I'm hoping my oprator will do the same soon07:46
cbx33I can pay 25p a meg07:47
highvoltagevodacom and mtn were R2 per MB07:47
cbx33or,...07:47
cbx33no 1 a meg07:47
highvoltagethen virgin mobile launched here last month with R0.50 per MB07:47
cbx33but I have to buy a bundle for that07:47
cbx33wow07:47
cbx33it was .5p per K here on virgin07:47

Petarisogra: I went over this with them about 6 months ago08:12
PetarisI guess I'll have to go over it again08:12
ograso they should be made aware of it 08:13
PetarisThis wouldn't be an issue of course if it were possible to build a vanilla kernel for ubuntu08:14
PetarisI could just compile one and be done with it08:14
ograi guess its an issue with the default install kernel (386)08:14
Petarisbut I'm installing an x86_64 kernel08:15
ograif you can boot into the system and upgrade to the 686 one it should be fine08:15
Petarisas this is an opteron server08:15
ograthen use the arch specific one instead of amd64-generic08:15
Petarishow do I do that when I can't get the system to start?08:15
Petarisboot up a live cd and chroot or something?08:16
ograif the liveCD boots ...08:19
