willvdlping highvoltage11:04
highvoltagewillvdl: pong11:08
willvdlwoop. met morgan the other idea. looks familiar11:09
highvoltagehmmm?11:10
highvoltageperhaps you mean the other day?11:10
willvdlit may have happened in my head11:10
willvdlhighvoltage, do you perhaps have a list of nice preferred thin-clients available on our fair continent?11:11
willvdlI know you mentioned the VIA terminals a few times etc.11:11
highvoltagewillvdl: proper thin clients? the only ones I know of that seems to be quite available are those HP ones.11:11
highvoltagethe VIA's aren't quite available yet :-(11:12
highvoltagewhich is a pity because they are real nice and cheap, and can even ran as fat machines.11:12
willvdlaha. what about any other YATC's?11:12
highvoltageas in the noname brands? I haven't paid much attention to them.11:12
highvoltagewe still use old whiteboxes, mostly.11:13
highvoltage(or new ones, if needed)11:13
willvdlas in any brand. somebody asked me this the other day and I was stumped11:13
willvdlI've _heard_ of the things but have never really thought about them11:13
highvoltagethe HP's are generally good, that's all I can really recommend. some of the other clients have strange firmware installed, which you can remove, but it's some work.11:14
willvdlyou mean the evo's?11:14
highvoltagesome of the evo's, yes.11:14
cbx33ping highvoltage11:14
highvoltageyou get some compaq thin clients that are ok.11:14
highvoltagecbx33: pong11:14
willvdlwith sound and alles?11:14
cbx33highvoltage: did you see my blogs11:15
highvoltagewillvdl: depends. with ubuntu's ltsp the sound /should/ work11:15
highvoltagecbx33: I did indeed. it looked fun and productive.11:15
cbx33you want to put up a fridge article? - or do you want me to work on one?11:16
willvdlmeaning the clients have audio HW. the HP's at least I know (sort of) thanks11:16
highvoltagecbx33: you can put together a fridge article11:16
cbx33i have one more article to add ;)11:16
highvoltagecbx33: we can also link to your blogs from an edubuntu news entry11:16
highvoltagecbx33: ok :)11:16
willvdlhighvoltage, what about the Meraka HW? or is that limited stuff?11:17
highvoltagewillvdl: yes, many of the evo clients does have sound, which is supported by ubuntu11:17
cbx33highvoltage: cool11:17
highvoltagewillvdl: unfortunately yes. the hardware that meraka used is very nice, and sound and everything works, but they pretty much bought all of those models that VIA had left :-/11:18
willvdlof course, that's the link that was hanging around in my head11:19
willvdlwhat was the model?11:19
highvoltageVIA will be making a big batch of nice thin clients (or are making, at least)11:19
highvoltagethey're supposed to be finished at the end of Feb. I hope that we'd be able to import a bunch of them.11:20
willvdlgot a model or series number perhaps?11:20
=== highvoltage looks
cbx33hey willvdl hitachi and whiteboards11:21
cbx33I made contact with them at BETT11:21
cbx33got a contact from a top guy there who says they already have drivers for our boards....want the contact or do you have your own?11:22
willvdlExcellent! send it on! And to rodarvus...11:22
willvdlgood news indeed11:23
cbx33i spoke to one guy at OFE about IWBs and he went...it's just a f***ing mouse11:23
cbx33and got quite uptight about it11:23
willvdlit's a big mouse11:24
willvdlhe obviously didn't have one himself :)11:24
cbx33heheh11:24
willvdlhas anyone here setup an box in "kiosk" mode? Want to provide jsut a browser11:27
cbx33no I havn't11:30
cbx33kiosk mode?11:30
cbx33I used to just xiniti firefox on one box to provide that caability ;)11:30
highvoltagewillvdl: you can create an X session that just starts firefox with the rkiosk plugin installe11:30
highvoltage*installed11:30
cbx33ahhh11:30
willvdlooh, not worried about respawning on logout etc?11:31
highvoltageif you log out, you'll just get a GDM screen again.11:31
highvoltagethen you can just log in again as the kiosk user11:32

rockprincesshello everyone!11:38
rockprincessi'm having a speech in less than an hour...and I wanted to know if anyone knew how to connect my edubuntu laptop with a beamer?11:39
rockprincessi know where to plug the cable of the beamer with my laptop...but do I switch into presentation mode, if that makes sense?11:39
rockprincess*how do I11:40
willvdlwould it matter what mode it runs. doesn't the beamer jsut act as a mouse?11:40
=== willvdl has never tried
rockprincesshmm i don't  know....i only know how to do it on windows...11:40
willvdlsorry, don't have one at my disposal to check11:42
willvdlcbx33, was there a specific reason why that page was put under EdubuntuDocumentation?11:43
cbx33yes11:43
rockprincesswillvdl: thanks, no worries...I hope everything runs smoothly though ;)11:43
cbx33I started doing it, but then sfllaw took over testing11:43
rockprincessanyways, i'm off,...will be back later on.....wish me luck :)11:44
willvdlwas just curious as to why it's a subpage of docs11:45
cbx33you can remove it11:49
cbx33i think11:49
cbx33lemme see it11:49
cbx33here's nothing in it11:49

rodarvushey willvdl!12:43
willvdlrodarvus, cbx33 mentioned he got whiteboard contacts at Hitachi at BETT. apparently they have drivers...12:43
rodarvusRichEd and ogra are not around, I suppose?12:43
rodarvuswillvdl, oh, nice to hear12:43
willvdlRichEd at LCA, ogra off12:43
rodarvus*nods*12:44
willvdlcbx33, you mean I can remove the EdubuntuDocumentation/TestingPlan? Or shall I preserve the info somehow12:45
cbx33is there info in there?12:54
cbx33rodarvus: yeh the guys seemed to be pretty confident that they had drivers12:54
rodarvusany idea on the state these drivers might be (usable on current linux, need work, etc)?12:55
cbx33well from what akira said they are working12:56
cbx33I phoned them up previsouly and they said they had working drivers12:56
cbx33but the guy wasn't sure why they weren't out12:56
cbx33so I'd say wait a few days, give akira a ring / mail and see what he says12:56
