bimberisomeone emailed me with an excellent idea.  startup sound has playground noises punctuated by a bell ringing (for the start of school).  Shutdown starts with the bell followed by children cheering08:53
bimberi:)08:53

skwashdNot on powerpc, skipping yaboot installation.08:59
skwashdthe i386 bit works09:01
skwashdthat is when updating the kernels ... as listed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup09:01

skwashdcafuego: it seems i don't have a powerpc kernel installed under /opt/ltsp09:20
skwashdrunning ltsp-update-kernels on the server gives the error above about not being on ppc09:21
cafuegoskwashd: Ugh. Yeah, a ppc chroot would be _really_ handy.09:22
skwashdbut running it on the client with a live cd complains about not being able to find /opt/ltsp/*/boot/vmlinux*09:22
cafuegoskwashd: Your ltsp server is i386?09:22
skwashdcafuego: yeah09:22
skwashdclient will be a powerpc09:22
cafuegoOk, the way I went about this, is to install the server on the powerpc; and then copy the chroot across.09:23
skwashdcafuego: so https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup is crap ?09:23
cafuegoskwashd: I've not tried it..09:25
skwashdok09:25
cafuegoskwashd: but netbooting, mounting and installing should work OK.09:25
cafuegoJust check that /opt/ltsp is not a symlink.09:25
skwashd/opt/ltsp is fine09:25
skwashdi can read and write to it09:26
=== cafuego nods
cafuegoThen in theory `sudo ltsp-build-client' should work fine.09:26
skwashdwhich is what i did09:26
skwashdand it seemed to forget the kernel/s :(09:26
cafuegoHmm..09:27
cafuegoI cna give you kernels.09:27
cafuegoJust copy 'em by hand, hold on.09:27
skwashdcafuego: how about i chroot09:27
skwashdand just apt-get install09:27
cafuego(these ALSO contain the nic drivers for the old ppcs)09:27
cafuegoskwashd: yes, but make sure that the initrd that's generated is set up for nfs root.09:28
skwashdcafuego: i will run the ltsp-update-kernels once i have a kernel in the chroot :)09:28
skwashdand i have exitted the chroot09:28

skwashdand compare it to the version i got from cafuego10:44
ograskwashd, is that a mac server with mac clients ? 10:44
ograor i386 ?10:45
skwashdmine? i386 server with a ppc client10:45
ograah, fine ...10:45
ogradid you follow the multiarch doc ? 10:45
ograhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup10:46
pygicbx33: you still alive? :)10:46
cbx33pygi: yes I'm alive10:46
cbx33I'll ring them10:46
cbx33ogra: good morning10:46
pygikk10:46
cbx33I have found the problem10:47
skwashdogra: yes10:47
ograand you didnt end up with a kernel in the chroot ? 10:47
skwashdogra or cafuego can i please get a yaboot.conf ?10:47
ograthat shouldnt happen ...10:47
skwashdogra: initially no ... so i had to chroot and install it manually10:47
skwashdusing a live cd10:47
ograare you sure that all the setps in ltsp-build-client finished fine ? 10:47
ogra*steps10:47
skwashdthe second time ... yes10:48
ograhey cbx33 10:48
ograsecond time == you wiped out /opt/ltsp before running ltsp-build-client again, right ? 10:48
ogra(never run it over an existing chroot, that will break)10:48
skwashdogra: no ... cos i has the i386 install already done10:49
cbx33ogra: the problem was a real icky one, I had to use gconftool to write the keys when using a custom path, as running from within the code/python, caused it to be run as root, changing ownership of the gconf directories for the user = not a good idea ;) The problem was that when I was reading them in it was using roots gconf server, and when writing it was using the users10:49
ograwell, then /opt/ltsp/powerpc ...10:49
skwashdbut over /opt/ltsp/powerpc ... i am pretty sure i did10:49
skwashdfsck it10:49
ograbut it will cause breakage to run it twice on the same chroot10:49
skwashdtime to try again10:49
cbx33hence there was discontinuity between the data - consquently I'm writing a whole new set of get functions in a subclass, which will use gconftool to get the value10:49
cbx33the subclass is good as it is what vuntz wanted anyway :D10:50
ograskwashd, also are you running dapper or edgy ? 10:50
ograthe kernel handling in ltsp-update-kernels is different in edgy10:50
ogracbx33, how big is that patch ?10:50
cbx33no huge10:51
cbx33but it is definitely needed if you want pessulus10:51
ogranote that we're only allowed to change very few lines after beta ...10:51
cbx33so you want it in before beta10:51
skwashdogra: on this box ... dapper10:51
cbx33ogra: I get that10:51
cbx33so I'm goign to try to get it done now10:51
cbx33which should be ok10:51
ogracbx33, i'm not sure i want to change anything before beta ...10:51
cbx33something seems to have changed in gconf because it all worked before hand10:52
ograskwashd, ok, then all should be fine ... in edgy parts of the kernel update code moved into the chroot ...10:52
cbx33ogra: what's the bottom line10:52
ogracbx33, show me the patch :)10:52
skwashdogra: would you recommend edgy over dapper ?10:52
cbx33ogra: I'll develop it now and show it to you when it's done10:52
cbx33is that gonna be ok10:52
ograskwashd, feature wise i would ... but i didnt run any cross arch tests yet10:52
cbx33I'm at work, but I'm tryingto ignore everyone10:52
ogracbx33, as it fits you ... 10:53
ograskwashd, edgy adds automatic network swap, printing support, local device support (floppies,cdroms,usbsticks....), language ans seselection in the login manager ...10:54
skwashdogra: hmmm ... how recent is the newest "flight" (or whatever) image ?10:54
skwashdah ... local dev support ... that is something i want10:55
ograskwashd, i'll be testing an edubuntu daily install in abut an hour ... thats nearly the beta release10:55
ograhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/daily/current/10:55
ografrom a first look at the iso it seems fine ... but i cant say anything more until i've done a test install10:55
cbx33ogra: someone said we'd be dropping back to an almost FF state after beta10:56
skwashdogra: how tricky would a dist-upgrade be ?10:56
ogracbx33, well, changes will be reviewed the smaller ones are more likely to be accepted ...10:56
ograskwashd, apart from having to rebuild your chroots it should be fine ...10:57
cbx33ah ok10:57
skwashdand rebuilding the chroot would be done by ... chroot /opt/ltsp/arch; vi /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade ?10:58
ogranope10:58
ograsudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp/$arch && sudo ltsp-build-client10:58
skwashdhmmm10:58
skwashdso i would need an edubuntu powerpc edgy live cd?10:59
ograltsp-build-client des some tweaks to the chroot that are not done by the packages, so a simple upgrade might fail (or might work i didnt test it)10:59
ograas i said before, i wasnt able to test multiarch either yet ... but it should be the same procedure as described in the doc10:59
skwashdogra: this "2 hour job" has taken me a large part of my day ... i think i will stick with dapper for now 11:00
ograok11:00
skwashdogra: one last question ... how do i change the sources for building the chroot? just as normal vi /etc/apt/sources.list ?11:03
ograltsp-build-client --help ;)11:03
ograit has a --mirror option11:03
skwashdok ... thanks11:03
ograi.e. if you have a cd around it will speed up immensely to do:11:04
ogramount /cdrom11:04
skwashdit is the live cd so it is mounted11:04
ograsudo ltsp-build-client --mirror file:///cdrom11:04
skwashdthanks11:04
ogranot sure it works like taht from the livecd though ... try it :)11:04
pygiI don't think it'll work from live cd ogra11:05
ograpygi, if the liveCD has a /pool directory it *might* work :)11:05
skwashdyes it does!11:05
ograall you need are the Packages/Release file and a /poll with packages11:05
ogra*pool11:05
skwashdhmmm no11:06
skwashdFailure trying to run: chroot /opt/ltsp/powerpc mount -t proc proc /proc11:06
skwashdah m,11:07
skwashdnm11:07
pygiskwashd: if livecd has /pool you can manually copy files to appropriate dir at disk11:07
skwashdi forgot to nfs mount11:07
ograright :)11:07
ograso it seems it will work with the liveCD11:07
ograpygi, that wouldnt speed up much ...11:07
pygiright :)11:07
skwashdnope11:08
skwashdbroke at the same place11:08
ograhmm, seems the /proc mount doesnt like having nfs underneath it11:09
skwashdogra: this is the first time i had choked there ... the other 2 times it worked fine11:09
ograwithout specifying the --mirror option ? 11:10
skwashdhang on11:11
skwashdi will try in a minute11:11
ograi know it works as described in the doc ... since i tested that ... but i never tried to use the cd i'm running from as mirror11:11
ograoh, run "mount" please :)11:12
ogramight be that you still have a /proc mount in /opt/ltsp/powerpc11:12
skwashdogra: what do you want from that ?11:12
ogralook for /proc :)11:12
skwashdnope only at /proc11:13
ograif your first two times broke (one is indicated by not having a kernel, the second by not wiping the chroot)11:13
skwashdogra: no .. the first time it broke cos it didn't get all the packages11:14
ograchroot into /opt/ltsp/powerpc and check theer is no proc mounted11:14
ograright11:14
skwashdthe second time maybe i didn't remove the chroot11:14
ograwhich results ain a broken chroot11:14
ograits really important that it finishes properly11:14
skwashdcan't run command /bin/bash11:14
skwashdso it won't chroot11:14
ograand that the chroot dir is empty before you start11:14
skwashdtime for a windoze trick11:15
ograok, but since you didnt see /opt/ltsp/powerpc/proc in your mount output, it should be fine11:15
cbx33ogra: patch is looking good11:15
ograhow many lines ? 11:15
cbx3317011:15

ograyou are implementing it differently11:17
cbx33slightly yes11:17

cbx33t5hnks12:41
ogra-thin(depending on the patch system you add to the package)12:41
cbx33my problem is my patch needs to be an update to a patch alredy inside the system12:41
cbx33so that won't work...12:42
ogra-thinchoose a higher number for it12:42
cbx33you can't patch patches12:42
cbx33casn you12:42
ogra-thinsure12:42
cbx33well you shouldn't, should you12:42
ogra-thinthats how the -edit-patch commans work 12:43
cbx33but....oh wouldn't it be better to strip out my patch and build it from scratch - so it contained al the changes?12:43
ogra-thinthey apply all patches with a lower numbering or a higher place in 00list (for dpatch)12:43
ogra-thinthen they create a chroot for the pacvkage where yoiu can edit12:43

cbx33sbalneav, mostly yes ;)08:03

PetarisIs there anyway to force the clients to use a certain resolution?09:04
Petarissetting it in lts.conf didn't seem to work09:04
PetarisX_MODE_0=1024x768 is what I have in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf09:05
Petarisor should I set it in the xorg.conf file in the chroot09:06
Petarisfrom what I have ready setting it in lts.conf should have worked09:07
ograi'm not really here until the meeting, but use the right X_HORZSYNC X_VERTREFRESH values, ubuntus X server doesnt accept X_MODE settings 09:07

Petarisit seems that if I ues X_HORZSYNC and X_VERTREFRESH I will have to set it for each monitor, as all my monitors are different09:21
Petaristhat seems like a lot of work for what should be very simple to do09:21
PetarisJust out of curiosity, does anyone know why X_MODE_0 is not supported?09:22

rodarvusnext target, core-dev, for you and LaserJock!10:41
LaserJockwell, what needs to be done now for Edubuntu?10:41
cbx33rodarvus, I hope so10:41
LaserJockunfortunately I didn't have enough time to put together all the metapackages I wanted to do10:41
pygirodarvus, what about me as MOTU? :P10:41
LaserJockI think for Edgy+1 cbx33 and I should work on those10:41
rodarvuspygi, what are you waiting for? :)10:42
cbx33LaserJock, sounds good10:42
pygirodarvus, somebody signing my keys ? :)10:42
rodarvusoh10:42
pygiI would have applied much earlier if I just could get the keys signed10:43
rodarvuspygi, you live in Croatia, right?10:43
pygirodarvus, right10:44
pygiso might take me a while to become MOTU :)10:44
rodarvusthere are no developers living near your country?10:45
pygirodarvus, Hopefully raphink and Jani can sign my keys on Ubuntu Conference in Hungary next month10:45
rodarvusright, I was thinking about Jani10:45
pygithat's still too far tho :P *the conference time :P*10:46
rodarvusactually, I was researching the distance from Croatia to Romania in Google a few seconds ago :D10:46
pygirodarvus, he's coming to Hungary to a conference10:46
pygiI'm presenting the Edubuntu, he's presenting Xubuntu, and raphink is presenting Kubuntu10:46
rodarvusnice10:46
pygiof those three people, I'm the only one useless :)10:47
rodarvuswhen is this conference going to happen?10:47
pygirodarvus, October 28 if I'm not mistaken10:47
rodarvuspygi, dude, you're not useless.10:47
rodarvusI forbid you saying that10:47
pygilol :P10:47
LaserJocksoooo10:48
pygithe trouble is the conf. is in Budapest, and there are riots there right now :)10:48
=== cbx33 too
LaserJockwhat do you think of Keybucks new suggestion for Edgy+110:48
pygicbx33, you too what? be shhh :)10:48
rodarvus"keybucks" :)10:48
LaserJockKeybuk's10:49
rodarvusLaserJock, I'm kidding ;)10:49
LaserJockstupid english10:49
cbx33brb10:49
rodarvusto be sincere, I mostly agree with him10:49
rodarvusabout time we have default install on DVD media10:49
LaserJockI was agreeing with him until somebody mentioned the UWN10:49
rodarvusalternate cd can be kept on cd media, but its *alternate*10:50
LaserJockthat said janes said that Edgy will not have shipit10:50
LaserJockor edgy won't be available on shipit rather10:50
ograit will10:50
ograbut only for LUGs10:50
ograand for payment10:50
LaserJockah10:51
ogradapper will still stay free via shipit10:51
LaserJockwell10:51
cbx33no shipit for edgy?10:51
ografor everyone10:51
cbx33for anything?10:51
ogranope10:51
ograsadly not10:51
LaserJockmy idea that DVDs would probably be ok if you could get them from shipit10:51
cbx33you're kidding10:51
ogranope10:51
ograonly paied orders for LUGs10:51
cbx33is there a reason y?10:51
ograLTS10:52
LaserJockit's expensive and they want to promot LTS10:52
ogradapper is the long term support thing10:52
cbx33ah10:52
cbx33so will edgy + 1 have shipit10:52
ograits a marketig decision ... we need to handle the costs 10:52
rodarvuscbx33, this is largely undecided10:52
LaserJockwell10:52
pygiogra, is there anything else I should think of for edgy+1 except the local burning drives support?10:52
rodarvuseven edgy position on shipit is not final, as far as I know10:52
rodarvus(or not publicly final, at least)10:53
=== bimberi [n=dave@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockwell UWN final10:53
ograpygi, how to make the world accept 800MB media as default ? 10:53
LaserJockI just don't see how 1 cd is going to work for us or Ubuntu or Edubuntu even10:53
LaserJocks/Edubuntu/Kubuntu/10:53
pygiogra, that is not in my powers, sorry :) Next thing? :)10:54
rodarvusLaserJock, shipit is sponsored by canonical, afaik UWN is not written by a Canonical employee. (but I don't know who gave the shipit information to whoever published it into UWN, so take my comment with a grain of salt)10:54
ogranow that edubuntu is fine with the technical infrastructure we'll need to focus on apps ... thats will get hard with the CD limits we have10:54
LaserJockrodarvus: well, apparently janes10:54
LaserJockbut I know what you're saying10:55
pygiogra, was thinking about (if that's possible) slowly starting to fire off edu-applications development10:55
ograrodarvus, jane did, but not as an official note yet10:55
ograpygi, dont hold back then :)10:55
cbx33pygi, totally10:55
LaserJockogra: I think especially since we have mixed targets, preschool, elementary, high-school/uni10:55
cbx33I'm working on gallium10:55
ograright10:55
LaserJockthey are all educational settings10:56
pygicbx33, I know that, but you working alone on that or?10:56
LaserJockbut they need vastly different apps once you get outside the infrastructure10:56
pygicbx33, and gallium is part of solution, but not entire solution10:56
ograright 10:56
ogragallium is only a part of a set iof apps we'll need10:56
LaserJockthat's where I though metapackages/add-on cds would be good10:56
LaserJock*thought10:56
rodarvushow is gallium coming, btw?10:57
LaserJockah well10:57
ograbut they dont need to be ready tomorrow and everyone should work for the fun of it ;)10:57
rodarvusdo you have recent screenshots, or implemented features, etc?10:57
rodarvus... list of implemented features ...10:57
LaserJocknot yet10:57
pygiogra, it's not only about replacing kEdu, it's about creating new apps10:57
ograright10:57
LaserJockrodarvus: it kinda stalled as Edgy freeze drew near ;-)10:57
pygiogra, and if I'm not mistaken Scribus is QT...if we get rid of KEdu, will we just drop Scribus?10:57
ograscribus is no KDE app10:58
LaserJockit needs much fewer libs10:58
ograwhy should we drop it :)10:58
ograits the best we have for DTP10:58
pygioh, I thought it was written using QT?10:58
pygiwell, indeed :)10:58
LaserJockQT != KDE10:58
pygiLaserJock, ofcourse :)10:58
ograi'm not opposed to have apps aboard we can ship without having the CD explode10:58
LaserJock;-)10:58
pygiwhich will more and more become a problem10:59
pygiespecially if we can really produce set of usable apps10:59
ograi wouldnt even oppose kdeedu if we had the space10:59
ograits a good set of apps10:59
LaserJockit is for sure10:59
=== pygi nods
pygiI really hope we can pull that local burning devices support for edgy+111:00
pygithat would be a good feature11:00
ograyeah11:00
ogratotally11:00
pygiogra, does anyone currently have that? 11:01
ograi have three big things on my edgy+1 todo atm ....11:01
pygiWouldn't say so...11:01
pygiwhich are? :)11:01
ogra- ldap/kerberos server in edubuntu11:01
ogra- cd writing on ltsp11:01
ogra- mic input support in ltsp11:01
pygiadd the 4th:11:02
ograbut thats my personal todo .. 11:02
ograit usually changes after the conf ;)11:02
pygi- make pygi more familiar with ltsp codebase 11:02
ograright11:02
pygithat would be helpful to me, and probably in the future to you also11:02
ograbut sbalneav will also help here ... thats not a one man show anymore ;)11:02
ogra(help explaining the codebase i mean)11:03
pygiI know, but I'll still need help :)11:03
pygiright, right :)11:03
=== ogra goes downstairs again to his GF ... probably bbl
pygikk11:04
LaserJockwell, I don't want to do ltsp stuff11:04
LaserJockI think I'll leave that to the masters11:04
pygiLaserJock, :)11:04
LaserJockI'd like to work on the non-LTSP apps11:05

LaserJocknot a lot11:39
LaserJockhow's it going?11:39
LaserJockdoh11:39
LaserJockI've been talking to a (the?) Fluxubuntu guy in -motu11:40
mhzheheheheh11:40
mhzthat happens11:40
pygi:)11:40
LaserJockI was thinking you were talking about the ebuntu11:40
LaserJockenlightenment+ubuntu11:40
pygiEnlightment is quite good, I tried it few days ago (e17)11:41
pygitho gtk apps look ugly in there11:41
cbx33ebuntu11:41
cbx33is it any good?11:41
LaserJockyeah, it's a beastly moving target to package most of the time though11:41
pygicbx33: ebuntu?11:41
pygi:P11:41
pygiLaserJock: I know11:41
LaserJockwell cbx33, I'll put it this way. It was made from checkinstalled .debs11:41
cbx33:S11:41
LaserJockwe (a few of us in -motu) tried to get the guy to work on source packages, but I think it was beyond him :/11:42
cbx33:(11:42
pygino point before it's stable I guess11:43
LaserJockanyway, hopefully soon fluxubuntu will be done through Universe11:43
LaserJockand hopefully mubuntu too11:43
cbx33cool11:43
pygiLaserJock: what would "mubuntu" be?11:43
cbx33yes mubuntu looks cool11:43
LaserJockMultimedia Ubuntu11:43
pygioh, where can I read more about that?11:43
LaserJockI did some "convincing" today11:44
cbx33LaserJock, ?11:44
LaserJockUbuntu-Studio.com or some such11:44
LaserJockcbx33: one of the mubuntu guys was going to make a Automatix-like program to do it11:44
cbx33cool11:44
LaserJockso I had a talk with them11:44
pygiLaserJock: o, no, just not automatix!!!11:45

mhz:)11:49
LaserJockoh really?11:49
mhzyup11:50
LaserJockinteresting11:50
mhzjust a matter or weeks to see Fluxbuntu Education Edition11:50
mhzbut..11:50
mhz1st version will be Live install version11:50
LaserJockheh11:50
mhz2nd version will give you the chance to just install or boot in live mode11:51
mhzLaserJock: one thing that caught my attention thoug, is that joejaxx says "don't know how/why but Fluxbuntu does auto update menus after new apps installs"11:52
LaserJock?11:53
mhzafaik, one of the reasons why ogra does not recommends using fluxbux or wmaker or any other desktop for 'light version of edubuntu' is that many do not comply with freedesktop standards (ie updating menus)11:55
LaserJockwell12:02
LaserJockthat's an interesting thought12:02
mhzhehehe12:06
mhzLaserJock: hehe, yes, but for joejaxx Fluxbuntu is updating menus, while my fluxbox running on top of Edubuntu does not12:06
mhzis not12:07
mhz..grammar!12:07
LaserJockyeah12:07
LaserJockthat sounds fishy to me12:07
mhzLaserJock: what's the status of your "menu" work?12:12
