[02:50] <bddebian> Heya
[07:23] <Solaris444> hi fellas.
[07:23] <Solaris444> I was just wondering if Canonical offers support for edubuntu?
[07:23] <Solaris444> as in professional support.
[07:24] <Solaris444> And also do you know if the new Ubuntu Certified Professional covers edubuntu?
[07:34] <pipedream> join #ubuntu-classroom
[07:34] <pipedream> argh
[07:38] <BHSPitLappy> I asked this earlier, but...
[07:38] <BHSPitLappy> we have a ubuntu desktop here at home, and I was wondering if it would be doable to have the edubuntu environment going for a particular user
[07:38] <BHSPitLappy> but not all
[07:39] <pipedream> I did an aptitude install edubuntu-desktop, I think back in dapper
[07:39] <pipedream> It changed default fonts for ubuntu-desktop users, and theme, and so on
[07:39] <BHSPitLappy> I don't really want things like the usplash and other artwork getting replaced
[07:40] <pipedream> It didn't have a separate session to choose from on the login screen (both are gnome)
[07:40] <BHSPitLappy> so my question was a pipedream, basically?
[07:40] <pipedream> edubuntu should have a session choosable at the login
[07:40] <pipedream> BHSPitLappy: dunno if it has been fixed, changed, or if it is possible
[07:40] <pipedream> BHSPitLappy: wait around here and see if someone answers
[07:40] <BHSPitLappy> I might test that on a livecd
[07:41] <pipedream> BHSPitLappy: you can reverse theme/usplash changes, and have the user set them personally again (not usplash, theme and menu and artwork, I guess)
[07:41] <pipedream> but it's not nicely separated
[07:41] <pipedream> then again, isn't one-click patented?
[07:41] <pipedream> ha
[07:41] <BHSPitLappy> perhaps in synaptic, I could have it checkmark the packages deps
[07:41] <BHSPitLappy> and then I can manually unmark the artwork one
[07:42] <pipedream> but you want the artwork for the single user
[07:42] <pipedream> you must update-alternatives a few things to reverse
[07:42] <pipedream> then have the single user change all these little things -- not nice
[07:42] <BHSPitLappy> well
[07:42] <BHSPitLappy> it's probably not worth all this fuss
[07:42] <pipedream> I speak under possible correction, so I'll shut up now
[07:43] <BHSPitLappy> it's something I'd do if it was fairly convenient
[07:43] <BHSPitLappy> but otherwise, not that important
[07:43] <BHSPitLappy> I was just thinking it might be nice, since my mom homeschools my brother
[07:43] <pipedream> it works well with ubuntu- kubuntu- xubuntu- and possibly fluxbuntu-desktop, and any other window manager's installed
[07:43] <pipedream> managers
[07:43] <pipedream> but they all have separate session managers
[07:44] <pipedream> sorta
[08:34] <Solaris444> pipedream, is kubuntu supported by canonical?
[08:39] <BHSPitLappy> as much as edubuntu is
[09:36] <kgoetz> now i'm getting two errors: first " * INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/getty" ", and the second is " * INIT: Id "[1-6] " respawning too fast: disabed for 5 minutes" (the 1-6 means there is the error for each nujmber), and between them is 3 nfs:rpc errors. then it says " * INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel ", then 3 more nfs: rpc things
[09:36] <kgoetz> :(
[09:37] <kgoetz> hm, i shold probably ask in #ltsp actually. and or
[10:45] <MrGreen> Anyone home?
[12:16] <Solaris444> I was just wondering if Canonical offers support for edubuntu?
[02:18] <cberlo> Morning folks.
[02:18] <kgoetz> hi
[02:42] <cberlo> Anyone got snow out there?

[07:47] <MrGreen> quick question.... got an old laptop going want to install edubuntu would loading xubuntu be a good base?
[07:52] <mrlinux> nautilus fails it wont load
[08:04] <neoliminal> Hello!  I was hoping to find some software that would allow my 1 year old to smack keys on the keyboard and get sounds to come out.  Has anyone made anything like this for kids?
[08:06] <neoliminal> Anyone around?
[08:10] <mrlinux> i am here
[08:11] <mrlinux> i have heard of something like that but i would look at source forge
[08:16] <neoliminal> ok thanks
[08:16] <neoliminal> !
[08:18] <highvoltage> electro, what an odd nick.
[08:33] <Electro> I'm having problems with my upgrade, I get a message from synaptic during the modification of the software channels
[08:34] <Electro> I get this:  fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned
[08:35] <Electro> anybody there
[08:35] <Electro> helloooooooooooooooooooo, does anyone exist?
[08:36] <stgraber> yep, but can't really help you
[08:36] <Electro> *_*
[08:36] <stgraber> maybe check that you can download that file manually and "bzip2 -d" it correctly
[08:36] <Electro> what?
[08:36] <stgraber> if that works that's a problem with apt
[08:36] <Electro> well I'm using synaptic
[08:37] <stgraber> so try : sudo aptitude update
[08:37] <stgraber> in command line
[08:37] <Electro> I'll try
[08:37] <stgraber> maybe you will get more details that way
[08:38] <Electro> It just got new package lists
[08:38] <stgraber> and no error that time ?
[08:38] <Electro> no
[08:38] <Electro> only synaptic reports errors
[08:38] <Electro> even during normal updates
[08:39] <Electro> 1 connection error
[08:40] <Electro> hey
[08:40] <stgraber> do you have the same problem if you do the updates using update-manager ?
[08:41] <Electro> aloha, update-manager is synaptic
[08:41] <stgraber> ok :)
[08:42] <Electro> it has to modify 44 software channels
[08:42] <Electro> is that normal?
[08:44] <Electro> earth to stgraber? r u there
[08:44] <stgraber> well not really :)
[08:44] <stgraber> what do you mean by software channels ?
[08:45] <Electro> the repository indexes
[08:45] <stgraber> ok
[08:45] <Burgwork> Electro: yes, that is normal
[08:45] <Burgwork> let it run
[08:45] <Electro> well it gives me this
[08:45] <Electro> http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2
[08:45] <Electro> as an error
[08:48] <Electro> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[08:48] <Electro> Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[08:49] <stgraber> simple and stupid question, but is bzip2 installed ? :)
[08:49] <Electro> i'll check
[08:50] <Electro> yup
[08:50] <stgraber> ok :)
[08:50] <Electro> i'll be back in 5, find a solution pls?
[08:52] <stgraber> if that's just doing updates, do them manually but that's not a final solution :)
[08:58] <Electro> can I use the LiveCD to upgrade?
[09:00] <Electro> hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[09:00] <Electro> stgraber r u there
[09:01] <Electro> Anybody
[09:01] <Electro> hellooo
[09:04] <Electro> hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[09:08] <Electro> anyone
[09:08] <Electro> hello
[09:08] <Electro> help
[09:08] <Electro> help
[09:11] <Electro> help
[09:11] <Electro> anbody
[09:11] <Electro> please
[09:11] <Burgwork> Electro: please don't do that
[09:12] <Electro> hello
[09:12] <Electro> anybody
[09:12] <Electro> help
[09:14] <Burgwork> Electro: please don't spam the channel
[09:14] <Burgwork> no, you cannot use a livecd to update
[09:14] <Burgwork> however, you can use an alternate cd
[09:15] <Electro> which cd is that
[09:15] <Burgwork> the alternate one, it is listed on the download page
[09:35] <Electro> the install only?
[09:36] <Electro> burgwork
[09:36] <Burgwork> not the desktop, the alternate cd
[09:37] <Electro> I only see live and install versions
[09:39] <Electro> burgwork
[09:39] <Burgwork> where are you looking?
[09:39] <Electro> I don't see alternate
[09:39] <Burgwork> give me the url where you are looking
[09:40] <Electro> ok
[09:40] <Electro> http://nl2.releases.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/6.10/
[09:40] <Burgwork> ah, right, for edubuntu there is no desktop and alternate
[09:40] <Burgwork> you need the install
[09:41] <Electro> so I use the install iso
[09:41] <Electro> right?
[09:41] <Burgwork> burn it, and then insert it on the installed machine
[09:41] <Electro> thx
