[02:43] willvdl: but its been criticised to be a bit of a mess and installing stuff where its not supposed to [02:43] j-zee tracks software usage, and makes sure that kids can only run one instance of gcompris, ktuberling, etc at a time [02:43] jsgotangco, hmmm, I'm tempted to tell people to produce rpm and dev and leave it there [02:44] j-zee is just a wrapper [02:44] but it works well. [02:44] highvoltage, nice [02:44] highvoltage: that's pretty neat [02:44] can see where that's going [02:44] all yours? or are you working on it with someone [02:44] willvdl: ive used it, it looks nice, but i dunno if its clean [02:45] jsgotangco, you mean autopackage no doubt [02:45] willvdl: yes [02:45] willvdl: at the moment just me, there's some other stuff I'm working on too, but I'll open it up to wider people soon to get wider testing/feedback/contributions [02:46] like i said, some upstream projects who do not want to do specific pckages seem to like it [02:46] the "Smart" board people are working on linux support [02:46] http://www.smarttech.com/support/software/linux.asp [02:46] which is where I saw it [02:46] yeah [02:46] even Xara has an autopackage listed [02:47] highvoltage, that's something I'd like to play with too (if there's ever time) [02:47] hmm, food for thought [02:47] cool. does the schools you work with have smartboards? [02:47] btw, anyone know if a quad-opteron machine will work with a 686-smp kernel? [02:49] highvoltage, smart are on of the consortium members [02:50] they're on HP, Cisco and M$ consortiums [02:50] aaah [02:50] but have really done only a bit on NEPAD [02:50] they supplied Khanya [02:51] highvoltage, I thought the 686 kernel had smp built in? [02:51] willvdl: it does [02:51] willvdl: but will it support all the cores in an AMD? [02:52] why would there be a 686-smp kernel as well then? [02:52] oh, there isn't :) [02:52] the -generic kernel /is/ the 686-smp kernel :) [02:52] ah...sigh, only ever had a K6 to play with [02:52] I could've just said the -generic kernel, but I'm being explicit [02:52] that noisy thing that used to sit on my tsf desk [02:53] because 686 will work on it, but I'd like to know if I can use all cores without installing a special kernel for it === highvoltage asks on ubunu-kernel [02:53] willvdl: aaah [02:53] ask Jason [02:53] I think he has one [02:53] willvdl: I'm interested in quad opteron servers for the schools, they should perform quite well as ltsp servers [02:54] I had a K6 *ages* ago. It felt so fast the day I bought it... that was probably the one chip I owned that got obsolete the fastest. [02:54] (not like my 386 that I used for 5 years) [02:55] the Sun machines he was given for freedom toaster I think have quad opterons [02:55] what's the cost benefit like? [02:55] sorry K7 [03:00] I think those that jason has are dual opterons [03:00] hmm, probably [03:00] willvdl: I haven't looked at the prices yet, but apparently they are coming down fast, I think they're still slightly more expensive than the Intel servers we use [03:00] but the performance should be remarkably better. [03:01] (if you can use all the cpus/cores properly) [03:01] as long as they can handle the environment... heat etc. [03:01] how many seats you want to drive off of it? [03:02] this isn't for a specific project, I'm just wondering, I actually need to buy myself a new machine and I thought of getting a quad-opteron to play with, and then investigate it as our new standard server === fgiraldeau [n=francis@modemcable188.10-70-69.static.videotron.ca] has joined #edubuntu === kd5mwb [n=doug@dpc6745123160.direcpc.com] has left #edubuntu ["Leaving"] === kihai [n=sid@87.139.108.135] has joined #edubuntu [03:44] Could anybody help me?

[08:19] stgraber: i was just looking that up for you. it is a drafting session only. ogra will be doing that on his own. laserjock had to leave last night. [08:19] ok [08:19] aldwin: ubuntu or edubuntu ? [08:20] Nothing really interessting from my POV today (or at least for the less I can see on the VOIP schedule) [08:20] Riched: ubuntu [08:20] aldwin: When you have the splash screen, try to see the text output by pressing ESC or F2 (I can't remember) [08:21] aldwin: anyway, here that's the edubuntu channel, not the Ubuntu one [08:21] aldwin: i suggest you also ask in #ubuntu then ... both channels may a bit quiet as the main players are all at a developer summit [08:21] aldwin: and if that's for a personnal use, I would recommend you to switch to a 32bit OS (to have flash and other binary softwares working) === aldwin [n=pikapee@125.60.241.137] has left #edubuntu [] [08:21] good bye [08:21] :) [08:21] nice polite exit [08:21] not === floydwilde [n=john@64.62.195.120] has joined #edubuntu [08:39] How to set lcd xorg settings on thin client w/ edubutu? [08:46] Hi [08:47] I don't really understand your question, can you reformulate it ? [08:49] What kind of settings do you want to set (resolution ?), what's the current problem (for instance unusable resolution on a thin client), ... ? [08:51] Yes the resolution came up 640x480 and 60 hz [08:51] No option to change in preferences [08:51] it's a ViewSonic VG700 [08:51] ok, there is an option in the lts.conf you can set to change the resolution on a specific thin client (by MAC address) or on all of them [08:52] (just let me boot my edubuntu computer :) ) [08:52] is that only for one thin client or for all of them ? [08:53] we are switching to lcd, I have a fiew viewsonic and another model [08:53] ok, the system is done this way, there is a default value and then some exceptions [08:53] so choose the resolution you have the most as default [08:53] and get a list of all the other computers MAC addresses [08:54] whats the path to lts [08:55] /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf [08:55] yep there it is [08:55] wait, I don't have one there [08:56] using defaults never made an lts.conf, this is muekow right? [08:56] /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/doc/ltsp-client/examples/lts.conf [08:57] should I create one from this file? [08:57] hmm, just a small question What version of Edubuntu are you using ? [08:57] dapper [08:58] no, you can simply create an empty one, I will give you the few lines I have here in mine [08:58] awesome! [08:58] ok, that's why you don't have one by default [08:59] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30542/ [08:59] that's the default edgy one [08:59] it should also work on Dapper [09:00] then you can add (in the [default] ) section : X_MODE_0=800x600 (or any other resolution) [09:00] it will be the default resolution on your LTSP network (just try with a client if you can to check that the lts.conf file works correctly) [09:01] do you have localdev working on edgy? [09:02] yes [09:02] it doesn't work in dapper from what I understand [09:02] sound and localdev works from the begining, nothing to set (at least for me) [09:02] yes, there was a lot of work for that in Edgy [09:03] do you have to restart anything or just reboot client? [09:03] now, you plug your USB key, a cdrom, or any mass storage thing and it appears in Nautilus and on the Desktop as it was local [09:03] just reboot the client [09:07] hmm still to big, there is a ViewSonic VGA700b that works okay though [09:07] Unfortunately mostly we just have VGA700 [09:07] I mean VG700 [09:08] floydwilde: !!!! [09:08] wasabi homer [09:08] Helloooo [09:08] creating tension in the LUG i see ;) [09:09] Hey I gots to be me [09:09] hahahaha [09:09] how much are you looking at spending ona lappy btw? tiger direct in naperville has some sub 500 deals, refurbs that might work out well [09:09] I just scored some LCD screens tryingto make them play nice w/ ltsp [09:09] nm, this is the edubuntu chan btw ;) [09:09] Another ubuntu-chicago member ? :) [09:10] i thought this was codlug for a sec, then i noticed all the wonderful people [09:10] yeah talk in cod(g)lug [09:10] stgraber: we goto school and CoDLUG together ;) [09:10] ok :) [09:10] nixternal: You are lucky to have some other Ubuntu users @ school :) [09:10] i forgot he was in #edubuntu as well, and i thought it was members of the LUG talking ;) [09:10] here, as soon as you don't use Windows you are an alien :) [09:11] floydwilde uses it more than I do, and he found out about it at the courthouse as well [09:11] Yeah didja ever hear anything about that [09:11] They weren't using ltsp, but some vnc type setup [09:11] no, i talked to the admin there and he has no idea about Linux === lucasvo [n=lucasvo@wservices.ch] has joined #edubuntu [09:12] omg another edu-distro [09:12] >http://www.lerntux.de/ [09:12] floydwilde: ok, so set the X_MODE_0 to the value that's used the most on your network, then set some other sections (like the default one) [09:13] [IP-OF-THE-CLIENT] or [MAC-OF-THE-CLIENT] [09:13] and then set a custom X_MODE_0 for it === Amaranth [i=travis@conference/ubuntuconf/x-3ceafd7c937f40b6] has joined #edubuntu [09:13] X_MODE_0 got it === stgraber finds today less intersting than the two previous days @ UDS MTV [09:15] ya same here [09:24] I added X_MODE_0 and X_Color_Depth settings to lts.conf but no luck === stgraber really likes his small pastebin client software : "pastebin thefile" or "ps aux | pastebin -" and it's on the web :) [09:25] floydwilde: where did you put them ? in the [default] section ? [09:26] yes [09:29] oh do i have lts.conf in the wrong place, /opt/ltsp/i386 [09:29] should it be: /opt/ltsp/i386/etc [09:30] at least in edgy it's in the etc directory yes [09:30] I can't remember for Dapper [09:30] just try :) === pygi [n=mario@83-131-27-67.adsl.net.t-com.hr] has joined #edubuntu [09:32] hmm still no dice [09:33] I think it read the config file though [09:34] what about editing the x config in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/X11? [09:36] you can but I'm not sure LTSP really read this part (because of the X_MODE_0 option) [09:37] Ok a googling I shall go [09:38] the LTSP lts.conf do is here http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtsConf [09:38] but I don't know (and can't find) the list of the implemented lts.conf options in Dapper === ogra [i=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu === jbrefort [n=jean@mar44-2-82-227-215-241.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #edubuntu === ogra_ [i=ogra@conference/ubuntuconf/x-b13d5956958ca762] has joined #edubuntu === LaserJock [n=mantha@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #edubuntu === Fujitsu [n=Fujitsu@ubuntu/member/fujitsu] has joined #edubuntu === Fujitsu [n=Fujitsu@ubuntu/member/fujitsu] has joined #edubuntu === leManu [n=lemanu@smg13-2-82-232-131-128.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #edubuntu [10:06] had to set the horzsync and vert settings, but now resolution is at 1024x768 [10:08] hi all, does anybody know who's maintaining edubuntu wiki ?

[10:15] LaserJock: the page is locked [10:15] oh sorry, I didn't see that [10:16] leManu: ah, I think you just need to login [10:16] from the Edubuntu side [10:18] think so, but don't know where and how...
