[05:42] <ThePraVa2> AKI HABLAN ESPAOL?????????????
[05:43] <Burgundavia> ThePraVa2: #edubuntu-es
[10:36] <willvdl> https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuWiki/Cleanup coming along nicely
[10:40] <willvdl> anyone know when pips1 will be back?
[10:56] <kalle_> Can anyone help me find drivers for sharp networkprinters. I run Edubuntu.
[10:57] <willvdl> kalle_ you might find support for drivers in #ubuntu a lot quicker as edubuntu is built on ubuntu
[10:58] <kalle_> Thanks
[11:04] <willvdl> ping highvoltage
[11:08] <highvoltage> willvdl: pong
[11:09] <willvdl> woop. met morgan the other idea. looks familiar
[11:10] <highvoltage> hmmm?
[11:10] <highvoltage> perhaps you mean the other day?
[11:10] <willvdl> it may have happened in my head
[11:11] <willvdl> highvoltage, do you perhaps have a list of nice preferred thin-clients available on our fair continent?
[11:11] <willvdl> I know you mentioned the VIA terminals a few times etc.
[11:11] <highvoltage> willvdl: proper thin clients? the only ones I know of that seems to be quite available are those HP ones.
[11:12] <highvoltage> the VIA's aren't quite available yet :-(
[11:12] <highvoltage> which is a pity because they are real nice and cheap, and can even ran as fat machines.
[11:12] <willvdl> aha. what about any other YATC's?
[11:12] <highvoltage> as in the noname brands? I haven't paid much attention to them.
[11:13] <highvoltage> we still use old whiteboxes, mostly.
[11:13] <highvoltage> (or new ones, if needed)
[11:13] <willvdl> as in any brand. somebody asked me this the other day and I was stumped
[11:13] <willvdl> I've _heard_ of the things but have never really thought about them
[11:14] <highvoltage> the 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] <willvdl> you mean the evo's?
[11:14] <highvoltage> some of the evo's, yes.
[11:14] <cbx33> ping highvoltage
[11:14] <highvoltage> you get some compaq thin clients that are ok.
[11:14] <highvoltage> cbx33: pong
[11:14] <willvdl> with sound and alles?
[11:15] <cbx33> highvoltage: did you see my blogs
[11:15] <highvoltage> willvdl: depends. with ubuntu's ltsp the sound /should/ work
[11:15] <highvoltage> cbx33: I did indeed. it looked fun and productive.
[11:16] <cbx33> you want to put up a fridge article? - or do you want me to work on one?
[11:16] <willvdl> meaning the clients have audio HW. the HP's at least I know (sort of) thanks
[11:16] <highvoltage> cbx33: you can put together a fridge article
[11:16] <cbx33> i have one more article to add ;)
[11:16] <highvoltage> cbx33: we can also link to your blogs from an edubuntu news entry
[11:16] <highvoltage> cbx33: ok :)
[11:17] <willvdl> highvoltage, what about the Meraka HW? or is that limited stuff?
[11:17] <highvoltage> willvdl: yes, many of the evo clients does have sound, which is supported by ubuntu
[11:17] <cbx33> highvoltage: cool
[11:18] <highvoltage> willvdl: 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 :-/
[11:19] <willvdl> of course, that's the link that was hanging around in my head
[11:19] <willvdl> what was the model?
[11:19] <highvoltage> VIA will be making a big batch of nice thin clients (or are making, at least)
[11:20] <highvoltage> they'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] <willvdl> got a model or series number perhaps?
[11:21] <cbx33> hey willvdl hitachi and whiteboards
[11:21] <cbx33> I made contact with them at BETT
[11:22] <cbx33> got 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] <willvdl> Excellent! send it on! And to rodarvus...
[11:23] <willvdl> good news indeed
[11:23] <cbx33> i spoke to one guy at OFE about IWBs and he went...it's just a f***ing mouse
[11:23] <cbx33> and got quite uptight about it
[11:24] <willvdl> it's a big mouse
[11:24] <willvdl> he obviously didn't have one himself :)
[11:24] <cbx33> heheh
[11:27] <willvdl> has anyone here setup an box in "kiosk" mode? Want to provide jsut a browser
[11:30] <cbx33> no I havn't
[11:30] <cbx33> kiosk mode?
[11:30] <cbx33> I used to just xiniti firefox on one box to provide that caability ;)
[11:30] <highvoltage> willvdl: you can create an X session that just starts firefox with the rkiosk plugin installe
[11:30] <highvoltage> *installed
[11:30] <cbx33> ahhh
[11:31] <willvdl> ooh, not worried about respawning on logout etc?
[11:31] <highvoltage> if you log out, you'll just get a GDM screen again.
[11:32] <highvoltage> then you can just log in again as the kiosk user
[11:35] <willvdl> simple
[11:35] <willvdl> BTW, on seperate note, is https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuTesting current or used at all?
[11:36] <willvdl> There's https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuTestingPlan too as well as https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/TestingPlan
[11:36] <willvdl> cbx33, you created https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/TestingPlan, is it valid?
[11:37] <cbx33> no
[11:37] <cbx33> not at the moment
[11:38] <willvdl> it kinda coincides with the other two pages
[11:38] <rockprincess> hello everyone!
[11:39] <rockprincess> i'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] <rockprincess> i know where to plug the cable of the beamer with my laptop...but do I switch into presentation mode, if that makes sense?
[11:40] <rockprincess> *how do I
[11:40] <willvdl> would it matter what mode it runs. doesn't the beamer jsut act as a mouse?
[11:40] <rockprincess> hmm i don't  know....i only know how to do it on windows...
[11:42] <willvdl> sorry, don't have one at my disposal to check
[11:43] <willvdl> cbx33, was there a specific reason why that page was put under EdubuntuDocumentation?
[11:43] <cbx33> yes
[11:43] <rockprincess> willvdl: thanks, no worries...I hope everything runs smoothly though ;)
[11:43] <cbx33> I started doing it, but then sfllaw took over testing
[11:44] <rockprincess> anyways, i'm off,...will be back later on.....wish me luck :)
[11:45] <willvdl> was just curious as to why it's a subpage of docs
[11:49] <cbx33> you can remove it
[11:49] <cbx33> i think
[11:49] <cbx33> lemme see it
[11:49] <cbx33> here's nothing in it
[11:50] <cbx33> remove it
[12:42] <willvdl> rodarvus hey
[12:43] <rodarvus> hey willvdl!
[12:43] <willvdl> rodarvus, cbx33 mentioned he got whiteboard contacts at Hitachi at BETT. apparently they have drivers...
[12:43] <rodarvus> RichEd and ogra are not around, I suppose?
[12:43] <rodarvus> willvdl, oh, nice to hear
[12:43] <willvdl> RichEd at LCA, ogra off
[12:44] <rodarvus> *nods*
[12:45] <willvdl> cbx33, you mean I can remove the EdubuntuDocumentation/TestingPlan? Or shall I preserve the info somehow
[12:54] <cbx33> is there info in there?
[12:54] <cbx33> rodarvus: yeh the guys seemed to be pretty confident that they had drivers
[12:55] <rodarvus> any idea on the state these drivers might be (usable on current linux, need work, etc)?
[12:56] <cbx33> well from what akira said they are working
[12:56] <cbx33> I phoned them up previsouly and they said they had working drivers
[12:56] <cbx33> but the guy wasn't sure why they weren't out
[12:56] <cbx33> so I'd say wait a few days, give akira a ring / mail and see what he says
[01:03] <jsgotangco> good evening
[01:03] <willvdl> jsgotangco! just the man I'm looking for :)
[01:03] <jsgotangco> oh yeah? hehe

[03:55] <bddebian> Heya
[11:30] <kros> hello guys
[11:32] <willvdl> hey
[11:38] <kros> i wanna know that edubuntu have feature like local media : usb flashdrive, sound, or inserting printer or scanner automatically does edubuntu have it ?
[11:39] <Amaranth> you mean can a thin client have sound and use usb flashdrives?
[11:39] <LaserJock> I believe 6.10 has support for local media
[11:39] <Amaranth> yeah
[11:40] <Amaranth> what LaserJock said, 6.10 should do local flashdrives and sound
[11:41] <kros> thats what im looking for cause edubuntu dapper dont have these feature :)
[11:43] <LaserJock> kros: yeah, that was added for 6.10
[11:51] <cliebow> local device will be in ltsp in feisty
[11:56] <kros> cliebow - so edubuntu edgy dont have it ?
[11:57] <LaserJock> it does
[11:57] <LaserJock> but I don't think it was as fully implemented
[11:59] <jenda> hello
[11:59] <jenda> are "Edubuntu" and the logo s of Canonical?
[11:59] <LaserJock> yes, I believe so
[12:00] <jenda> thankee
[12:05] <cliebow> kros: i havnt talked to ogra for a while..but i dont think it is ready..
[12:05] <cliebow> localdevs
[12:07] <LaserJock> cliebow: I believe we shipped local dev support in Edgy
[12:07] <LaserJock> and then it's getting reworked and improved for Feisty
[12:08] <bimberi> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-October/000095.html
[12:08] <cliebow> LaserJock:Fair enough. i only have one term running in edgy and havnt tried it yet
[12:08] <bimberi> "Support for locally attached devices on thin clients"
[12:15] <willvdl> localdev support is in edgy
[12:15] <willvdl> night all
