"about Edubuntu" is for Feisty [09:59] How would one find devel versions for 6.10 & 6.06? [09:59] that is correct...all the docs are being pulled from trunk, which are for feisty [10:00] well, if you wanted just the .xml versions they would be located under the branches directory on the svn server [10:00] https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/branches [10:01] willvdl: the devel versions are now the final ones, as seen on help.ubuntu.com [10:01] for 6.06 and .610 [10:01] the docs for Edubuntu in the 6.10 and 6.06 directories though are not going to be what was released though [10:01] Burgundavia: there aren't any Edubuntu builds on help though [10:02] hmm [10:03] Burgwork, by devel versions you mean stable versions? [10:03] well, that is because the only edubuntu stuff has not been developed in our repos [10:03] yes [10:03] however, the ubuntu stuff is mostly correct [10:03] exactly Burgundavia, which I hope gets fixed ASAP [10:03] yes [10:03] it is already there, we just need the permissions stuff [10:04] okie.

[05:31] I hope I didnt miss the stuff I am interested in [05:32] My teacher recently asked me to find a replacement for the current installation of Linux. [05:32] plagerism: look at the topic, logs are also kept of the channel [05:32] plagerism: what are you currently using? [05:32] Well they are using an archaic version of Redhat [05:33] And using evms to rootsnap the isntallation upon boot [05:33] (revert to the known good install) [05:33] So all changes are lost upon reboot [05:34] And me being a ubuntu User myself and although not exactly designed for the College Market I definately think that it would be a start if consideration has been made for the needs of this install [05:35] actually ogra just mentioned exactly what I am talking about === cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #edubuntu [05:44] guys and gals, I'm so sorry I missed the meeting, I had net access down at work for the day, it only popped on every few minutes or so [05:44] plus the guy who I normally use the cgiirc on his server....it well died === meduxa [n=agustin@84.Red-217-127-164.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #edubuntu [05:45] ping ogra [05:46] just reading meeting log now [05:49] anyone know of a freenode cgiirc that has free channel choice and is reliable === rockprincess [n=theresa@chello084112026078.6.11.vie.surfer.at] has joined #edubuntu [05:59] hello? is anybody out there? [05:59] indeed we are [05:59] sure [05:59] ogra, dude, I'm so sorry [05:59] I was trying all day to get in [06:00] but our ISP at the school is so dodgy lately [06:00] well, lets just discuss the topic next meeting [06:00] i dont see us in a hurry [06:00] ok [06:00] no [06:00] i've got some splendid news :) [06:00] go for it [06:00] shoot [06:00] i'm meeting my ex-teacher wednesday, next week! [06:01] i'm gonna present my edubuntu project on my laptop, and hopefully she will agree to use it for her school [06:01] cool !! [06:01] thats very good news :) [06:02] excellent... [06:02] way to go rockprincess [06:02] then next week i can ask a uni professor to coach me through my bachelor assignment [06:02] ogra, I enjoyed your blog post btw [06:02] thanks :) [06:02] i think i'd new a very good presentation to convince her that edubuntu is the right choice [06:03] so did the kids [06:03] they thoght the circles triangle thing was hilarious [06:03] heh [06:03] yeah [06:03] what would you suggest to include into my presentation document? [06:04] well, i have only a german presentation i gave once but thats only in pdf ... dont ask for the OO.o doc [06:04] i have everything installed that would be useful i guess...but i want to pinpoint the obvious reasons.... [06:04] rockprincess, does she have a whole day [06:04] http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/LinuxTagTalk.pdf [06:04] ogra: that's fine....i'm german speaking myself :) i'm from vienna, austria! [06:04] there is sooooo much good ;) [06:04] yay [06:04] ogra: nice session [06:05] indeed [06:05] its a bit old, but should give you some generic insight [06:05] apart from that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuSchoolAdvocacy [06:05] thats a very good document [06:05] cbx33: i guess only a few hours, and i guess she wants to talk about her new born baby boy as well......but even if it's just 1 hour of edubuntu talk it'll be enough.... [06:05] highvoltage, thanks [06:06] ogra: excellent, danke ;)))) [06:06] :) [06:06] hehe ogra ;) - cool [06:06] glad it came in useful === jeang [n=jeang@dsl-242-147-120.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #edubuntu [06:06] one of our guinuea pigs passed away on monday :( [06:06] cbx33, its an awesome doc :) [06:07] oh no ! [06:07] it needs updating [06:07] yup little trinity...our favourite little grey agouti pig [06:07] it was so tough....:( [06:08] i'm soooo excited, i'd like to meet her this week already......i'm soooo impatient :( [06:08] cbx33, yeah, i belive that [06:08] awww sorry to hear that cbx33 :(((((( [06:08] thanky guys [06:08] it's been a bad year for our pigs [06:08] we started it with 5 [06:08] and now have only 2 [06:09] ouch [06:09] and one of those is poorly too [06:09] soon it'll just the hyperactive long haired Goku left ;) [06:10] are you going to bury it? [06:12] already done [06:12] :') === maccabeus [n=qnix@209.170.255.14] has joined #edubuntu [06:12] ogra, you here? [06:13] indeed [06:13] :) [06:13] welcome maccabeus [06:14] hi ogra, [06:14] hi maccabeus!! [06:14] i'll take a look at the advocacy page (I had to step out a few minutes ago for a meeting) === jeang [n=jeang@dsl-242-147-120.telkomadsl.co.za] has left #edubuntu [] [06:15] hi [06:15] i've been interested in k12ltsp for quite some time [06:15] first real ltsp that I've implemented though was edubuntu [06:15] i'm running dapper in an alternative/special needs type environment [06:15] with donated eqipment [06:15] nice! [06:15] rockprincess, http://www.edubuntu.org/UsingEdubuntu is the up to date ESA document [06:16] running server on a dell p4 2GHz with ide disk [06:16] you should take info from there generally ;) [06:16] and some p3 1GHz workstations from compaq that just rock for netbooting [06:16] it's really sweet === brian_ [n=brian@66-117-162-29.rev.dls.net] has joined #edubuntu === jarlev_ [n=jarlev@216-237-62.132110.adsl.tele2.no] has joined #edubuntu [06:16] sounds like :) you could even use the netbooted workstation mode with such big clients :) [06:17] (which will be in feisty) [06:17] cbx33: thank you very much for your help! i'll definitely use it! [06:17] students like it -- teacher likes it -- i've installed citrix client for him as well as groupwise client so he can get into email [06:17] rockprincess, if you can think of any good ideas to update it [06:17] ogra, what is netbooted workstation mode? [06:17] shout [06:18] maccabeus, feisty ltsp will have an option to build an ltsp environment that loads the full desktop on the client directly to save server ressources if you have a bigger set of clients around [06:18] ogra, so it does an image based install on the fly? [06:18] cbx33: of course I will, and I'm pretty sure I will have a few clever ideas, but I'm pretty occupied til friday afternoon...i'll read it on the weekend and then let you know what i think of it....... [06:18] yeh sure [06:18] sort of ... [06:18] really do hope it helps [06:19] ogra, what happens on reboot, another install? [06:19] that's why we wrote it [06:19] ltsp currently only runs the X server locally [06:19] the fat-client spec defines to run the whole desktop on the client [06:19] no, you netboot like you would do with a thin client [06:19] it mounts /opt/ltsp/i386-workstation readonly via nfs [06:20] that path has a full ubuntu install [06:20] ogra, interesting -- so I'd guess performance is better... [06:20] the plan is to have one workstation as "master workstation" where yu can make all changes to the system [06:20] that are then picked up by all others on next bot [06:20] *boot [06:21] yeah, you should be able to run several hundret clients on one server in this setup [06:21] but the clients need to be bigger [06:22] i.e 1Ghz at least and 256M [06:22] Nice -- right -- they have to have a bit more muscle...I would definitely recommend keeping both options so you can choose your own adventure :) [06:22] while thin clients run fine with 300Mhz and 32M [06:22] Has anyone run edubuntu on a sparc server yet? [06:22] indeed it will only be an additional option ... [06:22] the default will stay a classic ltsp [06:23] not that i know of ... [06:23]
