sbalneavah, got it now.06:30
sbalneavAwesome!!! It's in Python.06:31
Amaranthindeed06:33
LaserJockbut of course ;-)06:33
sbalneavWell, then I might be able to contribute a bit.06:34
LaserJockthat would be sweet06:34
Amaranthright now it's all in flux06:35
Amaranthi'm still doing tech demos, basically06:35
Amaranthbut i'm pretty happy with the PeriodicTable widget06:35
sbalneavLooks schweet06:35
Amaranthi'm thinking of moving the data.xml to sqlite06:35
Amaranthsince we're going to need to do a lot of random access06:35
Amaranthand i really don't want to load the entire thing into memory06:36
LaserJockAmaranth: is that what makes kalzium slow?06:39
Amaranthi haven't done any profiling but i would guess yes06:40
Amaranththat and just doing the drawing it does06:40
Amaranthsbalneav: it's very bling for such a young project :)06:43
sbalneavIt's awesome.  I'm fairly new to Python, but I've already managed to pretty much write a FUSE filesystem to represent an LDAP directory.  So this looks like something I could help out with.06:44
sbalneavAnd I've used SqlLite before, but not the Python bindings, but that should be easy to pick up.06:44
Amaranthi think the main thing we need right now is someone to go through kalzium and pick out what the important features are and then right up a spec of somesort06:47
Amaranthbrb06:48
sbalneavI could sit down for a bit tomorrow and do that.06:49
LaserJockyeah, I can give a little chemical insight on that as well06:50
LaserJockone thing that I'm keen on is making it more than just a periodic table06:51
LaserJockit really should be a chemistry tool06:51
sbalneavI'll fire up my edubuntu box tomorrow night and poke through kalzium.06:51
sbalneavI know kalzium was a big PITA for ogra, because it meant he had to include KDE libs, which meant that he didn't have enough room for lang packs.06:53
sbalneavAnd for the Brazillians, the lang packs are important, because a lot of places either don't have the internet connection at all, or don't have the bandwidth to download langpacks.06:53
LaserJockyeah06:54
sbalneavOn the LTSP side of things, there's a LOT of thin client going on in schools in Brazil.  It'd be great to have Edubuntu there.  With langpacks.  So, as silly as it seems, this project's actually pretty important to getting Edubuntu going in Brazil. :)06:55
sbalneavAnywho.  Getting late here.  I'm off to bed.  Night LaserJock.06:56

ogracafuego, we'll have tarballs of /opt/ltsp/ in edgy ... i'm working on it, if you like to live on the risky side you can try last nights edgy build ;)10:23
ograhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/ltsp-tarballs/10:23
ograbut beware, its beta software :)10:24
cafuegoogra: The ltsp server runs in vmware, I'm not bothered :-)10:24
AmaranthSo, I have to wake up in 4 1/2 hours but I'm too busy hitting refresh on the fedex tracking website...10:24
cafuegosnapshot, try, fail|pass, revert 10:24
ogracafuego, unpack it with sudo while being in /10:24
cafuegoogra: cool, thanks10:24
=== cafuego needs to tweak anyway afterward; the clients have no bios battery anymore, so they lsoe time and whine about datestamps on bootup
ograthat shouldnt matter (apart from the noisy boot)10:26
cafuegoogra: X fails unless I sync with ntpdate10:27
ograugh10:27
ograthats in dapper ?10:27

Amaranthi thought the sync with ntp.ubuntu.com happened early in the boot10:27
ograwe ad such probs (i have plenty of clients that have out of sync clocks here)10:27
Amaranthor was that just something i installed?10:27
ograAmaranth, its disabled in ltsp clients, we dont want them to have a outbound net connection10:28
Amaranthah10:28
ogra(by default at least)10:28
=== cafuego added a call back in ltsp-client-setup; that sorted it
cafuegoogra: the ntp server can be the ltsp server (would be ideal anyway)10:29
ograyes, i can :) but that would mean to install it everywhere ...10:29
ogramost people wont need it 10:30
cafuegoPull the IP out of /proc/cmdline; sync to that10:30
ograwell, the IP is set in the SERVER env variable already :)10:30
cafuegoAha!10:30
=== cafuego deletes $FOO lines of code ;-)
ograrodarvus and i will take a deep look into zeroconf for edgy+1 10:31
ograthat could make it possible to autodetect an ntpserver and other network services ...10:32
Amaranthok then, sleep time10:32

ograthe icon parts are missing and i dont mount the CDs with their label yet ...04:30
ograbut we're getting there :)04:30
ograi'd also like to find a cleaner way to handle the fstab file from the udev scripts, but that would mean to make the whole of /etc writeable04:31
ogra(sicne sed needs to create a tempfile in the dir the file it works with is)04:31
ograi'll also rewrite the ltspmounter script in python i think04:33
sbalneavCool.  I'll set it up tonight.04:34
ograthe README should explain everything04:34
ograthere is one bug in our ltsp chroots i have to fix04:35

ogra/etc/mtab must be a link to /proc7mounts04:35
ogra*/proc/mounts04:35
ograsomehow debian removed that ... 04:35

=== spacey [n=herman@ubuntu/member/spacey] has joined #edubuntu
sbalneavheh, but if I'm to HELP you to improve it, then I'll need to look :)04:41
ograone thing i noticed is that X gets horribly hungry for memory if i copy some thousand files04:41
ograi.e. for my mp3 collection (~4Gig) the client just dies04:42
ograintrestingly its X that eats up the mem not ltspfs ...04:42
sbalneavWierd.  Wonder why X is consuming memory.  It shouldn't have anything to do with it.  All ltsp needs X for is the initial authentication, and I doubt you're even using that.04:43
ograsbalneav, what do you do about the dmesg kernel ringbuffer ? the kernel adss ~10 lines for every device i plug in ... that grows immensey over time04:44
ogra*immensely04:44
ograif i plugged/unplugged 1000 times i run out of mem at some point04:45
ogra(i have no NBD swap yet)04:45
sbalneaverrrm.  I don't think we're doing anything.  If we syslog, does that clean the buffer out?  We usually set up logging.04:45
ograhmm, then i might be forced to do that as well ...04:45
ograwe dont have any logging by default04:45
ograso the buffer doesnt get flushed04:45
sbalneavYou could syslog to /dev/null, if you don't actually want the messages to go to the server.04:46
ograah, right, tanks for the tip ! 04:46
sbalneavI can't see where ltspfsd actually gets started on the client/04:47
sbalneav?04:47
ogra*thanks as well even we germans are known to sell tanks :)04:47

ograit will send the passwords in plain text ... sniffable etc05:19
ograi bet its worse than xdmcp05:19
sbalneavNope :)05:19
sbalneavpasswords are sniffable in xdmcp05:19
sbalneavso, for the places that DONT care about security, but just want to use the stuff, they use = none.05:20
sbalneavfor places that DO care, then they have a choice.05:20
ograwell, you can document it anywhere ... and people can use it05:20
sbalneavSeems like a perfect solution.05:20
ograbut i doubt we'll use it as default anywhere05:21
sbalneavSure, thats cool, but the issue is: ubuntu's sshd doesn't have = none as an option.  They have to recompile to get it.05:21
ograah05:21
sbalneavSo, if it were included by default, then it's a simple case of documenting how to set it, or, alternatively, down the road, making it an UI settable thing. (i.e. "How secure do you want your LTSP clients low/med/high?) 05:22
sbalneavI'll do some playing tonight.  Ooooh, hacking is fun :)05:23
ograwell, i think Kamion will fight te idea to make it even possble to do it ... but we'll see05:25
ograbut we can try :)05:26
sbalneavNever hurts to ask :)05:27
sbalneavHey, when you come to detroit...05:27

mdzsbalneav: I was CCed on a reply from Mark about it; the timing is not great but we'll see05:45
mdzsbalneav: oh, you're asking about ogra, not me05:45
ogramdz, well, i'd bribe you with a free concert ticket if you want ;)05:45
ograsbalneav is asking about me, *i'm* asking about you :)05:46
sbalneavmdz: we'd love to have YOU there as well, and if a free Roger Waters performs "Dark Side of the Moon" is what it'll take to get you to come as well, I'll pay for the ticket myself :)05:48
mdzsbalneav: would love to, but can't commit just yet05:48
sbalneavLet us know.  :)05:49
=== ogra would prefer syd barret though ... but thats very unlikely :)

darklordi wanna contribute like hell08:24
darklordtell me how08:24
darklord:)08:24
LaserJockheh08:28
sbalneavStandard ways: file bugs, contribute to documentation, supply patches.08:28
sbalneavHave you had much experience with packaging and/or development?  What languages are you proficient in?08:30
sbalneavTranslation teams always need love, do you speak any foreign toungues?08:30
sbalneavAll of those ways are good and useful ways to get started.08:30
darklordsbalneav, am an indian08:31
darklordyeah made some packages earlier08:31
bddebianCherokee, Souix, what? ;-)08:31
sbalneavNorth American or East?08:31
darklordIndia08:31
darklord:P08:31
bddebian:-)08:32
sbalneavI know that there's a ton of dialects that need translation support in India, that'd be an awesome way to help out right from the word go.  As well, one could always become a Master of the Universe (MOTU), which means being responsible for packaging software that lives in the Universe repository.08:33
sbalneavGo to System->Help->System Documentation, and read the section on the Ubuntu Packaging Guide.  That will get you started.08:35

LaserJockage and maturity are a good thing, especially when found together ;-)08:56
sbalneavAge maybe.  Maturity, never.08:57
LaserJockyeah, you would say that08:57
bddebiansbalneav: Amen :-)08:58
sbalneavIf I was mature, I'd get a "real" job supporting a "real" operating system.  'Course, then I wouldn't have been in Paris, met all my cool friends, had dinner with a rocket-faring billionaire, etc.  Mature's boring.  This is much more fun.08:58
LaserJockbut somebody had the experience to *not* go to Subway when a nice cafe would do ;-)08:58
