Burgundaviaanything cool and new in Edubuntu-land this week?07:30
cbx33Burgundavia, hmm.... SCP in main07:30
Burgundaviahmm, nice07:30
Burgundaviaany major changes to it?07:30
cbx33Im' just setting up dotproject, as we are going to try using a PMS for some projects07:30
cbx33sine last release ? tonnes07:30
Burgundaviavery cool07:31
Burgundaviasince last week07:31
cbx33um...no07:31
cbx33hehe07:31
Burgundaviaok07:31
cbx33but big plans for next release07:31
Burgundaviabut main means installed by default?07:31
cbx33yes07:32
cbx33and we got the pessulus patch in to07:32
cafuegoSCP?07:35
crimsunstudent control panel07:36
cbx33sorry...was afk07:52
cbx33that acronym causes so much confusion07:52
jsgotangcohehe08:02
jsgotangcocbx33: congrats08:02
cbx33jsgotangco, on what?08:04
jsgotangcoSCP on main ;)08:05
cbx33heheh08:05
cbx33yup08:05
cbx33was touch and go for a while08:05
cbx33*seriously*08:05
cbx33getting it reviewed in time was tough08:06
jsgotangcoyou should be glad it came it, you've worked so hard on it08:06
jsgotangcoyou *should* join the next sprint08:06
cbx33jsgotangco, sprint or summit?08:06
cbx33;)08:06
jsgotangcoits the same08:06
cbx33hehe08:07
cbx33aren't sprints more hack-fests08:07
cbx33and summits more...talky talky ;)08:07
jsgotangcowell technically speaking yes, but hacks also happen on summits :P08:08
jsgotangcoyou dont get a lot of people on sprints, only core-dev mostly08:09
Burgundaviajsgotangco: maybe an edubuntu sprint for the next cycle?08:09
cbx33heheh that'd be cool08:10
jsgotangcothat would be nice, its been a year since there was an edubuntu-specific meet08:10
jsgotangcoand most of the active people here werent part of the first meet08:11
Burgundaviayep08:11
jsgotangcoit would be nice when major stakeholders to the project get together and discuss their issues and suggestions08:12
Burgundaviaespecially given edubuntu is kind of at the logical end of the current dev meta-cycle08:14
jsgotangcoi would say edgy gives edubuntu a very good position in the next release08:15
jsgotangcosince most of the core components are now  mature enough08:15
Burgundaviayes08:15
Burgundaviabut there needs be another "for the next 2 or 3 releases, we are going to X"08:16
jsgotangcowhen that time comes, i hope to have enough experience on real world scenarios08:16

rodarvusRichEd, nice, thats something I've been thinking too01:11
rodarvus(clean up my virtual clutter ;) )01:11
RichEdI'm working on the mail now ... the whole upstream / downstream analagy is very useful and quite exciting. I've just had a chat with Claire about an email from Ireland Education, and although the situation is completely non-technical, the model just fits.01:13
RichEdquestion: if you build an LTSP environment, do you need to install a full Edubuntu on each workstation, or just a boot environment to load the necessary from the central server ?01:39
pygiRichEd, you dont have to install anything on clients01:39
pygiRichEd, clients just have to be PXE compatible01:40
RichEdso how does the client make the "1st time connection" to the server ? does it need the live CD ?01:40
pygiRichEd, it doesn't need anything, it just has to be PXE compatible, it does the connection over network ^_^01:41
pygiit pulls everything from edubuntu server01:41
jsgotangcoRichEd: it connects to the server everytime you boot it01:41
jsgotangconothing is retained on the client01:41
=== pygi nods ^_^
jsgotangcoRichEd: the only requirement for the client is to have a PXE compatible ethernet device01:42
RichEdI've got that part ... bearn with me while I explain my issue:01:42
=== P3L|C4N0 [n=gcamposm@201.230.107.243] has joined #edubuntu
RichEdAssume I have a clean workstation, with a unformatted hard drive donated by someone who used to use it over a normal LAN. What do I need to do the workstation to get it to look for the server. Surely it needs to load at least an ethernet layer from somewhere ?01:43
jsgotangcoRichEd: nothing01:43
jsgotangcoas long as its PXE01:43
jsgotangcothe only thing you need to do is *make* this workstation *boot* to PXE as the first priority01:44
RichEdso please explain PXE asuming that I have a workstation, with a standard LAN card01:44
RichEdah ^^ there is my answer thanks !01:44
RichEdIs that normally a bios setting ?01:44
jsgotangcoPreboot eXecution Environment01:44
jsgotangcoyes01:44
RichEd"*make* this workstation *boot* to PXE"01:44
jsgotangcowith the approriate device01:44
jsgotangco(which is the PXE compatible network card)01:45
RichEdAnd do old machines usually have a BIOS which allows this setting ?01:45
jsgotangcoRichEd: its basically bootstrapping but from the network01:45
jsgotangcoit really depends01:46
RichEdYep. It's just that I've never noticed a bios setting like that before, but I seldom play with BIOS these days, I used to a lot in my days of DOS 3 :)01:46
RichEdSo steps 1: If the LAN card is not PXE compatible, swop it out for one that is.01:47
RichEdif the BIOS does not allow the setting, can it be upgraded / reflashed ?01:47
jsgotangcohmm i think there are some network cards with firmware to enable booting it even if there is no explicit bios setting01:48
jsgotangcoRichEd: aka bootroms01:49
highvoltageRichEd: most BIOS's scan for option ROM's to boot from, which mostly all network cards have, so if you have an etherboot or PXE based ROM, it should boot whether the BIOS supports it or not01:49
RichEdAnd that's a wrap ... I'm now up to speed :) Thanks.01:50
jsgotangcoyay01:50
pygiRichEd, www.rom-o-matic.net  ^_^01:50
jsgotangcoive never got to the point of using a bootrom for quite a while01:50
jsgotangcobut then, a PXE is essentially a bootrom of sorts01:50
jsgotangco:D01:50
pygi^_^01:51
RichEdFor your background amusement, my days of fiddling with BIOS settings were around 1988 when there was a need to configure extended RAM or expanded RAM when you wanted to get over 640KB base memory to run things that were memory hungry :)01:52
jsgotangcowell FYI my BIOS fiddling is forgettable01:52
RichEdWe had one guy on campus who had 4MB of RAM and was runing DOS 4.0 and everyone was in awe of the power at his fingertips !01:53
=== jsgotangco should write to uncle jim and ask one of those neat diskless workstations for christmas
highvoltageheh, I had 2MB RAM at one stage, and was insanely jealous of a friend who had 4MB :)01:54
pygihehe,  old days ^_^01:55
jsgotangcoyou legends01:58
highvoltagethat was high-teck! I learned to read on a ZX-Spectrum :)01:59
rodarvusyou guys are too young. in the university I worked for there was an IBM storage system with 4 giga bytes of space (important detail is: this storage system weighted about 10 tons)01:59
rodarvusand every six months it needed to be open to exchange the grease (really) used to rotate the plates02:00
jsgotangcorodarvus: im sorry uncle but im part of the Pentium generation hah02:00
highvoltagerodarvus: wow. last when I heard stories like that it was from Jon 'maddog' Hall :)02:01
rodarvusthe mainframes were one IBM 4181 and a (pre historic) IBM 414102:01
jsgotangcothe plates were the magnetic discs?02:01
rodarvushighvoltage, well, I guess his stories are *much* older than mine - I just happened to live in a poor city of a poor country :)02:02
rodarvusjsgotangco, yes02:02
jsgotangcowow compute and get a workout at the same room lol02:02
rodarvusthe IBM 4141 had one memory "box" of 16kb (it was 20x20 cm big)02:03
rodarvusand used *real* copper lines for each bit it needed to connect02:03
jsgotangcooh man haha02:03

RichEdHave any of you ever walked around inside an old pre-digital telephone exchange ... with the manaul switches ... it's pretty bizarre. As people dial the number, these huge multi layer spindles switches on racks turn around physically to make the correct physical connection to the circuit needed to make the line patch from the call orginator to the receiver.02:15
RichEdSo when 100 people are dialing at once, the room is full of rotating & clicking switches ... noisy !02:15
RichEdrodarvus: I've sent the email ... I hope I got it enough of my thinking across. No need for a response today ... just mull it over and see what pops out.02:16

ograbut its only in edgys universe yet07:54

smykesthat's kind of disapointing 07:54
smykesno offense of course07:54
smykeswhen does edgy come out?07:55
smykesi see this is a summer of code project07:56
smykesthat is kind of neat07:56

ograedgy+1 will have willowng installed by default 07:57
smykesso edgy will not07:57
smykesthe next one after edgy will07:57
ograwe need more feedback and testing for it before it can enter the CD so its not in yet07:57

ograbut its easy to install it from universe07:57
smykesit has a UI to configure it?07:57

ograwillowng-config 07:58
smykeswhere does it get its blacklist from?07:58
ogratalks via dbus to the content filter07:58
ogranowhere07:58
ograit doesnt need blacklists07:58
ograit uses bayesian filtering (like a spam filter) 07:58
smykeswithout a blacklist isnt there a noticable slowdown in page loads?07:58
ograyou have to feed it with some basic urls and it will learcn dynamically07:58
LaserJockyou can also block specific domains if you want07:59
ograsure, you can use domain filters as well07:59
smykeswe-block isnt cutting it07:59
smykesim looking to change the lab to edubuntu07:59

pygiLaserJock, eh, use Reconstructor ^_^09:29

LaserJockthat was for pygi 09:30
pygiBurgwork, what? please rephrase, thanks :)09:30
pygiLaserJock, well, I'm also talking about Edubuntu :) Use reconstructor to change graphics, and change software selection09:31
LaserJockhow would that work09:31
LaserJockI would think we would need a theme selector in the boot menu and tasksel for app selection09:32
pygiLaserJock, by changing cd, I'm not sure if it's supports Edubuntu right now, tho it should as it supports ubuntu & kubuntu09:32
pyginever used it09:32
