cbx33nice12:19
cbx33sorry about the unemployed12:19
cbx33I know how that feels12:19
mhzso, they ar considering a mix solution: Edubuntu server + 5 clients and about 10 kubuntu stations12:20
mhz(kubunt, basically because they want to use openkiosk)12:20
mhzcbx33 and all devels: CONGRATS for Edubuntu 6.1012:21
mhzit looks and feels great12:21
mhzI only dislike the uspalsh .)12:21
cbx33I didn't do much12:21
cbx33:( - sorry mhz that was my doing12:21
mhzbut i did nothing :)12:21
cbx33what about the sounds12:21
cbx33hehe12:21
mhzsounds are very nice, indeed12:22
mhzit felt good the change12:22
mhzoops, the change felt good12:22
mhzcbx33: the thing is not really that it is too redish...12:22
mhzit is the fact that redish logo over redish background...not good choice12:23
mhzkubuntu and xubuntu decided to use their logos over black bg12:23
mhzso, the logo gts emphatized12:24

gregbenHi, I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and would like to install the edubuntu applications (math, games, etc.) only. Any ideas on how to do this?06:53
bimberihi gregben, if you install the edubuntu-desktop package it will brink in those apps06:53
gregbenBimberi: Thx. Won't this wipe out the regular desktop? I have a kindergartener, a06:55
Fujitsugregben: It only installs extra stuff, so no.06:55
bimberigregben: no it won't06:55
gregbenfujitsu, bimberi: Thx, I'll go ahead and try it. Bye.06:56
bimberigregben: np :)06:56
gregbenHi. I tried downloading edubuntu desktop via synaptic and it asks for the 6.06LTS CD-ROM which I don't have handy. Any way to just d/l everything from the net?07:06
Kamping_Kaisersure07:06
Kamping_Kaiserenable the repositories (in one of the menus at the top) and download off them :)07:06

cbx33ey jsgotangco 12:50
jsgotangcohi12:50
highvoltagecbx33: for what it's worth, I really like the usplash image in edubuntu12:51
jsgotangcohighvoltage: hmmmm12:51
cbx33heh thanks highvoltage 12:52
cbx33did you see the updated comic strip?12:52
highvoltagenope12:53
jsgotangcohighvoltage: have you done LTSP with KDE before?12:53
highvoltagejsgotangco: yep12:53
cbx33http://progbox.co.uk/comic12:53
cbx33see the comic1-edit2 I think12:53
highvoltagejsgotangco: just a sec...12:53
jsgotangcohighvoltage: is it painful compared to doing it in gnome?12:53
cbx33is xfce easy?12:54
jsgotangcopretty much12:54
highvoltagejsgotangco: here is my memory tests with ltsp and kde from a while back, kde performs slightly better than gnome: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2005-September/000537.html12:54
jsgotangcohighvoltage: i wont be surprised, its pretty snappy12:55
cbx33see i always thought kde was slower than gnome12:56
highvoltageyep. gnome seemed to scale a bit better.12:56
highvoltagecbx33: it completely depends on how you use it and what machine you have12:56
cbx33but live cd's seem to work better with kde12:56
highvoltageit's a case of ymmv12:56
highvoltageit does.12:56
jsgotangcocbx33: it does12:56
cbx33why is that?12:57
highvoltagekubuntu installs nicely on a pc with 256MB ram, where ubiquity with gnome just crashes.12:57
highvoltagecbx33: kde's libraries are more integrated, and uses less ram12:57
jsgotangcoi dunno its probably that kde code is much faster12:57
highvoltagecbx33: the downside is that their libraries are *so* integrated, that you have to have all or nothing12:57
jsgotangcoits really clean12:57
jsgotangcoyeah12:57
highvoltagecbx33: which is why the kdelibs packages for edubuntu is so large, and we actually just need a small part of it12:57
jsgotangcoits your kall12:58
highvoltagegnome can be much smaller too. slackware ships with dropline gnome, which is much snappier.12:58
highvoltagebut ubuntu ships with everything and the kitchen sink gnome :)12:58
cbx33right12:59
cbx33do we have dropline gnome in the repos?12:59
jsgotangcoi will use kubuntu for a while12:59
highvoltagecbx33: nope12:59
cbx33aww...01:00
cbx33dang it01:00
highvoltagecbx33: I like the handwriting more :)01:00
highvoltagecbx33: I think the handwriting just needs to be a bit neater. the problem with the font is that it's roo obviously a font01:01
cbx33ok01:02
cbx33i'll brush up on my handwriting01:02
highvoltagei think you just need to draw the comic once, and then again. your handwriting isn't ugly, it just seems squashed in at some places, and the size differs.01:03
highvoltageso if you do it once, you know what your space requirements is. perhaps just do a very draft one, and after that draw it nicely and do the text.01:03
=== highvoltage gets back to work
cbx33thanks highvoltage 01:03

mhzhey highvoltage!!!08:00
mhzi am so happy to see ya08:00
highvoltageI'm happy to see you back too08:00
mhzfriendly faces are always nice08:00
highvoltageI noticed you were here last night, just after you left08:00
mhzback? 08:01
highvoltagefriendly faces? where?08:01
mhzoh you mean i have been "away" from irc08:01
highvoltagemhz: just been a while since I saw you online08:01
highvoltageyes, from irc :)08:01
highvoltagehow are things that side?08:01
mhzindeed, on-line has been a difficult thing to me08:01
mhzwell, More teachers are aware of edubuntu now :D08:02
mhzand so, they get to ask questions to email08:02
mhzbut no way they get to ML :(08:02
mhznor forums08:02
mhzsince last 3 days, i have been helping this internet cafe to migrate to *Buntu08:03
mhzBUT....08:03
mhzgee! always a but!!08:03
mhzthey want a mix solution08:03
highvoltageas always :/08:03
mhzEdubuntu and Kubuntu08:03
mhzedubuntu server for 5 clients + 10 kubuntu standalones08:03
highvoltagewhy kubuntu? for the kiosktool?08:03
highvoltageah yes, now I remember from your conversation from last night.08:04
mhzwell, because they feel kde is more like win08:04
mhzplease note the 'they feel'08:04
mhzpersonally, you know desktop is not something i get concerned about :)08:05
mhzanyways, that implies i get to worry on how to admin such mix environement08:05
mhzconsidering the kubuntu stations will dual boot08:05
mhz(at least for this early stage of migrations)08:05
mhzlater, we'll see some solution to play win games on the linux side08:06
mhzcedega, so far, only runs smoothly for Starcraft, nothing else08:06
mhzAny ideas on how to admin everything from same Edubuntu server?08:07
highvoltagewhen the auth stuff happens, that will be much easier.08:09
Burgworkauth and config are two slightly different issues08:09
highvoltageNIS might be your easiest option, although there has been a script for easy ldap on the edubuntu lists, I haven't tried it though.08:10
highvoltageBurgwork: yep.08:10
Burgworkauth is pretty easy, but a bit of a pain to setup 08:10
BurgworkI have an openldap server here at work08:10
Burgworkconfig is much much harder08:11
mhzBurgwork: eeek, yeah08:12

nixternalwhat? 16?  you gotta keep um for 18 in the states11:03
