highvoltagehey LaserJock and jbrefort 08:52
LaserJockhighvoltage!08:53
jbreforthi highvoltage 08:53
LaserJockhighvoltage: I put up some Paris pics on my site08:53
highvoltageLaserJock: ooh08:55
highvoltageLaserJock: where's that again?08:55
LaserJocklaserjock.us08:55
=== highvoltage looks
LaserJockit's in the gallery ;-)08:55
highvoltage:)08:58
highvoltageLaserJock: does this remind you of sbalneav? http://ftw.generation.no/?n=16008:58
LaserJockewwwwww08:59
LaserJockI sure hope not08:59
LaserJock:-)08:59
highvoltagehehe08:59
jbrefortLaserJock, nice photos08:59
LaserJockI'd never look at LTSP hacking sessions the same08:59
highvoltagelol09:00
LaserJockjbrefort: thanks, I'm an aweful photographer, but you can't go to Paris and not take pictures09:00
jbrefortI can ;)09:01
jbrefortI lived in Paris for six years, when I was a student09:02
highvoltagejbrefort: well, none of us there could really help ourselves, some of us went a bit trigger happy there09:02
LaserJockwell, but this was my first time outside of North America09:02
highvoltagejbrefort: how was it living there?09:02
jbrefortstressing, too many people (for me)09:03
highvoltagefor me it looked like a nice place to do some site-seeing, but not a place I'd enjoy living so much.09:03
LaserJockjbrefort: yes, waaay too many people09:03
jbrefortbut I love going in Paris from time to timebut no more than a couple of days09:03
highvoltageLaserJock: do you know what could cause this:09:04
highvoltagexargs: file: exited with status 255; aborting09:04
highvoltageinternal error: collect info file-info about package tuxlab-c4k: 1309:04
highvoltage(lintian error, btw)09:04
highvoltagecould it be that the package has too many files inside?09:04
LaserJockhmm, I'm not sure09:05
LaserJockI can't imagine that it'd choke on too many files. I'm pretty sure it runs on even the largets Debian packages09:06
=== highvoltage delves a bit deeper
LaserJockjbrefort: do you have something like a features ToDo list for gchemutils?09:09
LaserJockand I thought you said you planned on puting gchempaint into gchemutils, is that right?09:09
jbrefortyes, I'll include gchempaint just after branching for 0.809:14
LaserJockah09:14
jbrefortthere is a TODO file in the source tree. I don' remember what I put in there09:14
jbrefortOops, the TODO file is old and needs some refresh09:16
LaserJockheh, I was just reading that09:16
LaserJockis the mozilla plugin done?09:16
jbrefortyes, but it supports only a few file types09:16
jbrefortin the future, I'd like it to support both 2d and 3d files and crystals as well09:17
LaserJockmhm09:17
jbrefortand, if I can understand how printing works for mozilla plugins, I'll implement it as well09:18
jbrefortanyway, the 3d view needs some love09:18
LaserJockit looked pretty nice to me09:19
LaserJockseems like some of the stuff doesn't have a ton of features, but what it does, it seems to do well09:19
jbrefortI'd like it shows multiple bonds and add more styles (wireframe and more)09:19
LaserJockI loaded up one of my molecules09:20
jbrefortone possibility would be to use the viewer from ghemical09:20
LaserJockand it rendered rather nicely09:20
LaserJockyeah09:20
jbrefortgcrystal should also at least import cif files09:21
jbrefortthe idea is to use openbabel for that. I started writing an openbabel plugin09:22
LaserJockyeah, that would be nice09:23
jbrefortI'm going to update the TODO file now09:23
LaserJockmost of the time what I find frustrating, is not being able to import the data format I have09:23
LaserJockand not being able to output to the file format I want09:24
jbrefortopenbabel is the solution to file formats problems09:26
LaserJockyes09:26
LaserJockI love openbabel09:26
jbrefortI added anly support for a few formats, because I ha no samples for the other known formats09:27
jbrefortbut adding new formats to gchem3 is trivial09:27
LaserJockfor input?09:28
LaserJockis there any output options? I don't see any09:29
jbrefortit only outputs to screen09:30
jbrefortif you wish to output to another file format, use babel09:31
LaserJockwell, I'm usually interested in creating .ps or .png files09:31
jbrefortwe might write a GUI for babel09:31
LaserJockoh, that would be nice09:31
LaserJockthere are times when I just want to convert formats09:32
jbrefortgchem3d can export ps files and pdf too (using the print command)09:32
LaserJockah yeah09:32
LaserJockI sure seems light09:32
jbrefortpng and jpeg would be easy to add, and will be added soon09:32
LaserJockI'm running it of ssh from home09:33
LaserJockand it runs nicely09:33
jbrefortjust I'm working on some resolution support for these09:33
LaserJocks/of/over/09:33
LaserJockwhat do you use for the various plots?09:35
jbrefortgoffice09:36
LaserJockoh sure09:36
LaserJockit didn't look like gnuplot to me ;-)09:37
jbrefortas I can change the code in goffice if needed, it seems a good solution09:38
LaserJockyeah09:39
LaserJockis it possible to like zoom in or change axis ranges easily?09:39
jbrefortit would be possible, just it needs some coding09:40
jbrefortI just updated the TODO file09:40
jbrefortwe might edit charts using the GogGuru (the same editor as in gnumeric)09:41
jbrefortit would just need to implement a few GObjects (this has to be done in C)09:41
LaserJockvery cool09:42
jbreforttwo new lines from TODO09:42
jbrefort* allow plotting any property againt another one, i.e. ei vs vdw radius.09:42
jbrefort* allow charts customization (using the code in goffice).09:42
LaserJockyes09:42
LaserJockah, one thing carsten mentioned was that Kalzium copies the bodr data whereas you depend on it09:43
jbrefortthat's easy to implement and should not demand a lot of time, so probably before 0.809:43
jbrefortcopying needs frequent updates09:44
jbrefortand Daniel added a pc file in bodr to make things easy09:44
LaserJockdo you know what license it's distributed under?09:44
jbrefortgood question09:45
jbrefortMIT license09:46
LaserJockah09:47
LaserJockI suppose we'll need a package for that in Debian/Ubuntu09:47
jbrefortDaniel intends to do that afaik, just waiting for 0.409:47
jbrefort0.3 is buggy and can't be used09:48
LaserJockah09:48
LaserJockI think Michael Banck and I are kinda making sure Daniel gets thing into Debian proper09:49
jbrefortyes09:49
jbrefortsure09:49
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockI think between the 3 of use we might get somewhere ;-)09:50
jbrefortI discussed with jpansanel about using the structures in bodr as templates for gchempaint09:51
LaserJockyeah?09:52
jbrefortand i'd also like a residue database in bodr09:52
LaserJockhow many structures do they have?09:52
jbrefortquite a lot, but only 3d at the moment09:53
LaserJockit would be so cool to have like NMR, UV/Vis, or IR data to go with them09:53
jbrefortyes09:53
LaserJockthe organic chemists would love it ;-)09:54
LaserJockand the physical chemists would complain about bad assignments ;-)09:54
jbreforthmm, unreliable assignments must be avoided09:55
jbrefortthere are many in IR especially ;)09:55
LaserJockyes09:55
jbrefortthe structure database has 368 structures at the moment09:57
LaserJockis there any easy/straightforward way to convert them to 2D? Can openbabel be used?09:58
jbrefortno, afaik09:59
jbrefortwe cab do the 2d->3d conversion using ghemical09:59
LaserJockseems like you would have to figure out what plane to project it onto09:59
jbrefortfor some, no projection would give a good result10:00
LaserJockyeah10:00
LaserJockseems like it'll be mostly manual work10:00
jbrefortyes, jpansanel was ok10:01
LaserJockhe does cdk?10:02
jbreforti don't think10:02
jbrefortbut not sure10:02
jbreforthe wrote some code for konqueror afaik10:03
jbrefortaround chemical mime types10:03
LaserJockhmm10:04
LaserJockjbrefort: is there a public svn repo of bodr10:11
LaserJockI found 0.3 but there aren't any structure in it that I can find10:11
jbrefortyes, the svn repository is at http://www.blueobelisk.org/repos/blueobelisk/trunk10:12
LaserJock:/ it give me an error, maybe I'm doing it wrong10:14
jbrefortmay be i'm wrong10:14
LaserJockI can see it in a browser10:15
jbreforthttp://wiki.cubic.uni-koeln.de/repos/blueobelisk/trunk10:15
LaserJockbut I get: svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/blueobelisk/trunk' when I do a svn co10:15
LaserJocksweet, that worked10:16
LaserJockthat looks like an excellent project for people to work on10:19
LaserJockyou don't have to be a programmer10:20
LaserJockjust a chemist with some time ;-)10:20
jbrefortyes, I'll make some proposals for enhancements in bodr10:20
LaserJockI wonder if I could get people in my department to contribute10:21
jbrefortanother place where a non programmer can help is checking my english in docs10:22
LaserJockhave a Structure Day10:22
jbrefortask jpansanel how this must be done10:22
LaserJockheh, yes. I'm a native english speaker and write a fair amount of documentation and I still need lots of proofreading when I'm done10:23
jbrefortso think about what I can produce as a non native english speaker (and I write much better than I speak)10:26

LaserJockhello ogra 10:50
juliuxmorning orga10:52
ograhey guys10:54
juliuxogra, is your fujisu siemens thinclient running with edgy?10:55
highvoltagehey ogra 10:55
highvoltageogra: if the ltsp chroot was a static bunch of files that were packaged, where would you ideally put the chroot? /var/ltsp, /usr/share/ltsp, other: _______ ?10:56
ograjuliux, i'll try tomoroow if i make install tests anyway10:57
LaserJockok, I'm off now, the germans are up10:57
juliuxogra, here it is not working, it is a problem with the grafics10:57
highvoltageheh. goodnight LaserJock10:57
ograhighvoltage, /var/lib or /usr/share i guess10:57
=== LaserJock is now known as Laser_away
ogranight LaserJock 10:57
juliuxLaser_away, gn810:58
ograjuliux, you mean the rangee one, right ?10:58
highvoltageogra: /var/lib would probably be more correct if I wanted to allow the user to chroot into the environment and change it?10:58
juliuxogra, yes10:58
ograhighvoltage, i'd have to looh up the advantages/disadvantage details in the FHS ... from my gut feeling i'd use /usr/share though ... buit /var/lib might be FHS compliant10:59
highvoltageogra: ok, thanks for that. I'll look up the FHS documentation and try to figure out what looks reasonable11:00
highvoltageogra: do you think the chroot is likely to stay in /opt long-term, since upstream and ubuntu ltsp is now the same?11:01
ograhmm, according to FHS /usr/share would be for arch independent data ...11:02
ogra.... /var/lib looks about right11:03
ogra... This hierarchy holds state information pertaining to an application or the system. State information is data that programs modify while they run, and that pertains to one specific host...11:03
ograeven though it doesnt get modified at runtime of ltsp-server ... it does get modified in the clients ram :P11:04
highvoltageheh, I don't think that counts though :)11:04
ograah, no, wait11:05
ograPurpose11:05
ogra /srv : Data for services provided by this system11:05
ogra /srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system. 11:05
ograthats the right one11:06
ogra /srv/ltsp/$arch11:06
highvoltageogra: would it be acceptable to have a tarball in a package that would extract to /opt, or is that too hacky?11:06
ograif its a tarball, thats the right place11:06
highvoltageah, that sounds good11:06
ograbut our package should probably use /srv to be FHS compliant11:06
ograhttp://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM11:07
=== highvoltage bookmarks that page
highvoltageI think we'll use /src/ltsp/i386 then for the ltsp installation in tuxlabs.11:09
lucasvoLHS :(11:09
highvoltage*srv11:09
lucasvo:)11:09
lucasvois ubuntu trying to become compliant?11:09
highvoltageor would /srv/nfs/ltsp/i386 be more appropriate?11:10
highvoltagelucasvo: I thought ubuntu is already very compliant :)11:10
lucasvohighvoltage: no I wouldn't put it in nfs11:10
