cbx33hi RichEd 08:59
YagisanG'day cbx33 09:00
cbx33hi Yagisan howz it going09:02
Yagisanbusy. Had some nice work yesterday09:02
Yagisan:)09:02
cbx33yeh?09:03
Yagisancbx33, yes. Had to fix a compromised Windows box09:04
cbx33ooooh cool09:04
cbx33I've done that before09:04
cbx33someone had installed an smtp server on there09:04
Yagisanclient was very happy. I drop off an Ubuntu CD for him to try when I'm next there09:04
cbx33was sending tonnes of spam09:04

=== RichEd [n=richard@dsl-146-134-244.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu
cbx33RichEd, any outcome yet?09:06
RichEdhello09:06
RichEdhi cbx33 ... 09:06
RichEdyes, decision, but unfortunately not in support :(09:07
cbx33ok cool09:07
cbx33Right I want to make an apology for not getting the meeting minutes done of late09:07
cbx33I think I have missed two weeks09:07
RichEdthe policy at this stage is that Canonical will support groups who have a stand, and want to promote Edubuntu09:07
cbx33I can see not why it was always so difficult for JaneW to keep up09:08
cbx33s/not/now09:08
RichEdbut it is not commercially possible to pay for stands ... with one exception09:08
cbx33RichEd, yeh, that's fine09:08
cbx33I knew that would be the answer anyway so I'm not supprised09:09
RichEdif there is an IT in education conference, where various Linux flavours are competing for prominence, Edubuntu should consider representation09:09
RichEdre minutes, not significant if you can catch up09:09
Laser_awayroughly how much does a stand cost? I have no idea09:10
cbx33Laser_away, a lot09:10
cbx33$900 per square metre09:11
RichEdOn the conference note, following my discussions with Mark, I'll share later this week where we stand, and what the targets are for the next 12 months.09:11
jsgotangcohey guys09:11
cbx33ok RichEd 09:11
cbx33what about the other stuff like edubuntu packs09:12
Laser_awaycbx33: wow!!09:12
cbx33Laser_away, yup09:12
RichEdIn brief, at this stage, we are a "cost expense to canonical" and need to move towards self-sufficiency (cost vs income).09:12
cbx33right09:12
cbx33so basically a no go on pretty much everything09:12
RichEdThere are some set steps to acheiving this, and the order of execution & promotion is important.09:12
RichEdNo, that was in refefernce to my above thread !09:13
RichEdPacks & support, yes. T-Shirts, disks, stickers. Case studies on the way.09:13
cbx33ah right cool09:13
jsgotangcoyay09:13
jsgotangcocommunity booths would be hot with those09:13
RichEdSo we can assist other people already with a promotion vehicle. 09:14
cbx33http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/another-powerbook-violently-explodes/09:14
Laser_awayRichEd: does Canonical sell commercial support for Edubuntu?09:14
RichEdAny event, conference or promotion or school-open-day ... can all request support.09:14
jsgotangcoLaser_away: sure09:15
RichEdLaser_away: not yet ... there has been no call (for desktop)09:15
jsgotangcoits still Ubuntu09:15
RichEdBut is is an area that can be explored ... where it makes sense.09:15
Laser_awayRichEd: you need to get Edubuntu into universities with lots of grant money ;-)09:16
jsgotangcoedubuntu classroom server support seems to have potential09:16
RichEde.g. If an Education department standardises on Edubuntu desktop ... they may want support09:16
RichEde.g. If an Education department standardises on Edubuntu servers  ... they may want support09:17
RichEdbut 1 server in one classroom is probably not a proposition from either side09:17
RichEdhi jsgotangco 09:17
jsgotangcoRichEd: hey!09:17
=== RichEd will be busy for a while ... i'll be here ... but not too attentive
jsgotangcosure sure09:19
jsgotangcoi made a 30 page slide on Edubuntu09:20

RichEdhi ogra :)10:47
highvoltagehey ogra 10:47
ograhey10:48
highvoltageogra: can I specify another NFS root than /opt/ltsp/i386 in the tftpboot kernel line? do you know if I can use root=/opt/ltsp/other?10:48
RichEdi'll chat to you a bit later ogra ... we may need to set up a short meeting tomorrow with rodarvus to go through some things.10:49
ograyou can specify anything you like in your dhcpd.conf10:49
ograRichEd, fine with me :)10:49
RichEdogra:  when we see rodarvus popping his head in, we can discuss a time ... i'll need to send an agenda to you before hand10:50
ograhighvoltage, i can specify different chroots for i386 and powerpc ... but there is no easy way to distinguish between amd64 and i386 on dhcp level10:50
RichEdbut on a personal note, hope all is well with your new accomodation, and that you are settled & comfortable (in all aspects)10:51
ograwell, i'm painting the new office alongside my workday :) but its all fine10:52
ogradid a lot of work on local device support over the weekend ...10:52
RichEdwatch out for those paint fumes in confinmed spaces ... can make your computer screen go a bit fuzzy & woozy after prolonged exposure10:53
RichEd(unless you like that sort if thing ... then breathe deeply)10:54
RichEdof <- if10:54
ograi'm a strong smoker, the tar will prevent the poison from entering my loungs ;)10:55
highvoltageogra: aah, i should've known. took a sinus pill this morning now my head is screwed up11:00
ograouch11:01
highvoltageRichEd: getting of and if confused can be dangerous with some commands ;)11:01
Chipzzogra: what you *could* do is look at the mac address (different mother boards -> probably different chipsets), but that would require a shitload of seperate work since dhcpd doesn't allow wildcards in the MAC's I think11:01
ograyep11:01
Chipzzdifferent chipsets -> different MAC chipset -> different prefix in MAC address11:02
ograbut many people do that for their lts.conf already, so that would only be a lot of copy paste work :)11:02
Chipzzoh and btw: ltsp-client sucks monkey balls11:03
ograyou can also hack stuff into dhcp like verdor strings etc if you use a rom-o-matic image... but that will not work with plain PXE ...11:03
ograChipzz, oh, why ? it does what it should ...11:04
ChipzzI ended up just dpkg -P 'ing it, and brewing my own shit11:04
ograin fact its only a single initscript and a bunch of dependencys11:04
Chipzzogra: startx doesn't do what you think it should do; startx is supposed to run xinit, but instead launches X -query11:04
Chipzzalso, the arguments for the syntax is not what you'ld expect11:04
ograits the documented ltsp syntax ...11:05
Chipzzsecond, I get no keyboard input in X using the startx method11:05
ograwould be news to me that it differs11:05
Chipzzogra: startx on command-line -> .xinitrc ; startx in ltsp -> X -query11:05
ograi didnt do the startx implementation though ... debian is the only one who userd it so far11:05
Chipzzthat's just confusing and retarded11:06
ograthen lets fi it in edgy ;) you are the first ubuntu user playing with it afaik :)11:06
ogras/fi/fix/11:06
Chipzzstartx -- -br on the commandline, "startx -br" in ltsp config11:06
ograwell, thats trivial to fix ... :)11:07
ograonly important thing is that we dont differ too much from the ltsp.org docs11:07
Chipzzbut worse... keyboard plainly does not work at all when using the startx methyod11:07
ogradid you check xorg.conf ? 11:07
ograis the entry in there at all ? 11:07
ChipzzI did, and running X from an init-script does give me keyboard input11:08
ograthats weird ... shounds like an X bug11:08
Chipzzwhich is what I'm doing now11:08
ograit should just pick up xorg.conf settings11:08
Chipzzogra: I think it's related to the fact that we start X with start-stop-daemon or such11:08
Chipzzdoesn't start-stop-daemon close the input and output descriptors of that process in order to daemonize it?11:09
ogramight be, i made a note on my TODO ... i'll look into it11:09
Chipzzthe startx scripts, is that ours or ltsps?11:09
ografor now i have some more elementary probs to solve to get ltsp working at all ;)11:09
ograi think thats ported from ltsp11:10
Chipzzso changing the semantics to make it use startx and/or xinit would be a break from upstream and their docs? :/11:10
ograas i said, i didnt touch it ... i'll ask petter (pere from skolelinux) if he's around again 11:10
ograwell, we plan to merge with upstream, so we should use their syntax where possible indeed11:11
highvoltagelol. it would help if I changed the root-path in the right dhcpd.conf :)11:21
ograheh11:22
lucasvoogra: ltsp chroot didn't build :(11:25

lucasvoI don't have the logs any more, I'll build again11:28
ograyep, redirect it to a logfile11:28
lucasvoogra: installing ltspfs on the server is enough? no configuration needed?11:36
ograno, you need a bunch of scripts i'm currently writing :)11:38
lucasvo:P11:38
ograltsp-client needs a way to start ltspfsd, udev needs two rules scripts for mount/umount11:39
ograand /tmp/drives needs to be created by the ltsp-client initscript11:39
ograthen you are able to manually mount it to the user session ...11:40
ograthe automatic part is done by a script thats currently in the works here11:40
lucasvohere you go: http://pastebin.ca/12036511:40

rodarvusI don't have this file on package 'xinit' locally12:42
lucasvoogra: for the germans we will release edgy a week later :P12:43
ograand i dont have that problem here ...12:43
lucasvowhat's the difference of locally and not?12:43
lucasvobtw, why do we install man packages in the chroot at all?12:43
ograbecause the manpage isnt in a separate package12:44
lucasvobut man is12:44
ogradebian policy requires a manpage for every executable in /usr/bin or /bin12:44
ograso if you ship a binary it needs to have a manpage in the package12:44

ograyay, RichEd just made my evolution explode :)04:59
ograseems the development version doesnt like appointment attachments :)05:00
RichEdfile a bug report :  block user richard from calendaring interchange05:00
RichEdogra & rodarvus : ignore first date ... wed = actually tue05:00
ograi doubt anyone in the company ever used or tested that feature :) so thats great, go on using it as you would expect, thats invaluable test data ;)05:01
RichEdthe desktop toolbar calendar is Sun - Sat view05:01
RichEdevolution is Mon - Sun view05:01
RichEdrequires a mind shift whenever you check out a date, and then go to make an appointment05:02

RichEdogra: selb128 is "last msg: unknown" in #ubuntu-devel as well ... will mail him. tx.05:07
ograjuliux, i answered your mail05:08
juliuxogra, oh 05:08
ograthey break their systems by what reason ever ...05:08
juliuxthey said they only installed edubuntu05:08
ograxdmcp isnt used nor supported in *buntu05:08
ograi dont belive that05:08
juliuxogra, ok, i was ver confused about this 05:09
ograldm wont gain anything if xdmcp is enabled ... it wont use it05:09
ograif they changed their IP post install, they should run ltsp-update-sshkeys ... thats the most common FAQ we have05:09
ograthe symptom of it is that they cant log in through ldm ... running the command solves it05:10
juliuxthat i told them05:10
ogrado you have an url ? 05:10
juliuxogra, only a few forums posts05:11
juliuxbut not realy information05:11
juliuxi am on my way to find out what they have done05:11
juliuxthey have the right ltps verison05:12
ograxdmcp would only work if you used gdm on the client, which we dont even install there 05:12
RichEdahhh rodarvus : a minor buglet ... or usage issue ... rod@ubuntu accepted an appointment maile to rod.no@canonical ... so it says you are an unonown person accepted your appointment05:13
rodarvusahn05:13
rodarvusbummer05:13
RichEdtried adding both email addresses to you in the contacts ... but it 'aint smart enough to work that one out05:13
RichEdnot significant ... just f.y.i.05:13
rodarvusevolution is supposed to do this correctly - I wonder why it doesn't05:14
ograi suspect they have written a weird lts.conf or installed ltsp 4.2 or whatever05:14
RichEda quick multi-boot question if someone has a moment: i've got 3 *buntu boots, so my grub menu.lst is not where 2 of the installs expect05:15
RichEdwhen i do an upgrade, and it changes menu.lst must i manually carry the change over ?05:16
pygiRichEd, all should stay05:16
pygiso no manual changes needed05:17
RichEdthanks pygi, but not sure what you mean ... i'll expand:05:17
RichEdmy Edubuntu boot is on hda305:17
RichEdbut my last install was Kubuntu on hda705:18
RichEdso all boots use the grub file /hda7/boot/grub/menu.lst05:18
RichEdbut my update says: testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found ... updating ...05:19
RichEdso my question is ... is it smart enough to know which menyu.lst was used for booting, or does it just look for the expected file in the expected volume & folder ???05:20
=== RichEd goes off to hunt down time stamps and see which file actually got updated

LaserJockpackaging is a bit easier08:01
LaserJockbut the new python policy is a bit confusing at times08:01
LaserJockYagisan: got a URL for the source tarball?08:01
Yagisannope. app is written, I just need it packages, but the packager needs to know python to help me make it policy complent, as it needs to work with my packages08:02

crimsunYagisan: RE: intel8x0 (nf2) yes, audio is supported. What's the issue?08:34
Yagisancrimsun, ah. A user I converted is claiming no sound.08:35
Yagisancrimsun, what should I go through with them to check what's wrong ?08:35
crimsunYagisan: at all or in specific apps?08:35
Yagisancrimsun, as far as I'm aware, it is all apps08:37
crimsunYagisan: in the former case (which reads like a mixer misconfiguration), check the following mixer elements: 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' (which will need to be set to either 0 or 3 most commonly, more rarely 1), 'Master'/'PCM' (should be unmuted and set to non-zero levels), and 'External Amplifier' (which either needs to be muted or unmuted depending on the codec revision)08:38
Yagisancrimsun, any ideas ? (dapper box)08:38
Yagisanok08:39
crimsunYagisan: in the latter case, some dsps, despite their drivers' capabilities, provide no means for mmapping, so some apps (e.g., quake3) will refuse to run08:40
Yagisanthanks crimsun. I'll relay this on to the end user. (whish I could see the box myself, but it's in another country)08:41
crimsunright, barring online troubleshooting, these are the most specific elements I can name for intel8x0.08:42

crimsunah, ok. Yeah, James only recently began committing support for that codec into hg.09:16
Yagisancrimsun, still want thoses ids ?09:16
crimsunYagisan: nah, no need. Let's start with a pristine alsa state.09:17
crimsunYagisan: he'll need to close whatever apps are using the sound device (probably by logging out and switching to a console, then logging in there), then unload snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec, then rm -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, then reload snd_intel8x0, then re-execute invoke-rc.d alsa-utils start09:18
