juliuxogra, thxs09:55

cbx33are we changing the names of all the binaries and the install locations too?10:27
cbx33student-control-panel to thin-client-manager     scp to tcm   ?10:27
cbx33ogra: I'd prefer not to change all the dbus internal stuff10:28
cbx33what do you think?10:28
ograas long as the .desktop file shows the right name in the menu do as you like10:29
cbx33ok10:29
ograwe also have to think about the location in the menu now that we have this ugly control center10:29
ograi dont like it to be in the control center ....10:30
cbx33oh10:30

=== James-S [i=kvirc@86.112.0.125] has joined #edubuntu
James-S'ello10:59
James-SAre there any plans to port edubuntu to KDE?10:59
ogranope10:59
ograbut we'd appreciate a KDE based derivative :)11:00
James-SWell, i'm too busy11:00
ograso feel free to get some people together to make one11:00
James-SSorry, i'd love to but i'm working on some other things at the moment11:00
James-S:-(11:00
ograbut there is no problem to apt-get install kubuntu-desktop11:01
James-SDidn't want to pry, it's just when we used ubuntu on campus for under 18's, they didnt like GNOME11:01
James-SHm, spose so11:01
James-SAny plans for MEDubuntu? :-D11:01
ograwell, we get a lot of positive feedback for gnome ... i think your'e the third person coming here complaining about it since the channel exists ...11:02
ograMEDubuntu ? mediacal ubuntu ?11:02
ogra*medical11:02
James-SYeah11:03
cbx33ogra: oh wanted to ask you that reminded me11:03
James-Sogra: I don't mind it, just they preferred KDE because of the color scheme11:04
ograJames-S, what did they not like bout our desktop ? is it to colored ?11:04
cbx33how easy is it to change to kubuntu for the main desktop in feisty11:04
ograor are the icons to childish ?11:04
cbx33for edubuntu11:04
ogracbx33, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop11:05
James-SThe only complaints were the colors, the top bar was too small and the icons were fine11:05
cbx33ogra: ok...i gotta add that o the book you see ;)11:05
cbx33ogra: is it required to download the feisty debootstrap into edgy to run a feisty chroot?11:06
James-SThe bottom bar on KDE they liked, because it was large and colorful.. the psychologists on campus reccomended gnome for more mature students, and KDE for younger ones11:06
ograJames-S, which release did they test ? (we changed colors every release ... aprart from the window borders)11:06
James-SNot too sure, ogra11:06
James-SI wasn't there, i just heard from another teacher11:06
ograits trivial to make the gnome bard 64px big ... (two clicks)11:06
ogra*bar11:06
James-SWell, i wouldn't know.. don't shoot the messenger11:07
ogracbx33, the edgy one should be able to ...11:07
cbx33ok11:07
ograbut i have never done it, i usually work completely on the development release11:07
cbx33ogra: also...we're nearing the end of the week....got any progres to report so I can make rooom in the book?11:07
James-SThe thing is, i imagine kids would prefer something they don't have to "mess with" themselves.. i've got nothing against GNOME11:07
ograJames-S, i dont want to shoot you, no worries :)11:07
=== James-S comes here from OpenMRS
James-SI dont relaly know why i prefer KDE11:08
James-SGNOME can look good, i just had to do a lot of fiddling around with things for a few hours before it looked great :-)11:08
ograwell, it has technical and manpower reasons that we use gnome edubuntu ...11:09
ogra+in11:09
=== Kamping_Kaiser doesnt have to play with gnome at all for it to be useful (its when i try and play it stops being so good ;))

Kamping_Kaiser the psychologists on campus reccomended gnome for more mature students, and KDE for younger ones <- bahahahah11:33
cbx33ogra: did you give me an update on how far the specs have come?11:33
=== Kamping_Kaiser wondesr why people lowercase gnome, but capitalise kde
ograno and we dont discuss the specs here ... i'll give one after monday, after we had the internal educational teammeeting11:35
James-SIt's psychological :-P11:35
ogracurrely i have no finished spec but a lot of them started ... its al lying in pieces11:36
Kamping_KaiserJames-S, :)11:36
=== James-S is not a big fan of Psychology that isn't Cognitive or neurologically based
ogra(apart from ltsp sound .... that should be done today and rocks :) )11:36
cbx33thanks11:42
cbx33ogra: what is the state of printing on LTSP going to be?11:44
ograno serial printewrs yet11:45
ograbut everything else will work like in edgy11:45
ograi know sbalneav has patches for serial as well, but he didnt send me anything yet11:45
ogra(i'm missing the HW to test serial printer stuff)11:46
=== James-S compresses himself into a quantum singularity
Kamping_Kaiserogra, whats this about serial printers?11:47
James-SI've got to make some equipment mechanism for storage, management, etc in hospitals .. i checked the bodies that you have to comply with in order for the NHS to accept the software; there's 45 criterion in all :-(11:47
ograKamping_Kaiser, the new print server doesnt have support for serial printers yet ... we had to drop the old one because it wasnt licensed at all and no upstream exists anymore11:48
ograKamping_Kaiser, https://launchpad.net/~ogra/+branch/ltsp/feisty-ltsp-jetpipe11:49
cbx33and how was that ogra, how id it work in edgy....11:51
cbx33did they just print through the server11:51
Kamping_Kaiserogra, ah ok. i have the equipment to test parallel printers, so i was wondering. as for pure seriall....11:51
ogracbx33, it worked the same as in upstream ltsp ... it never changed ...11:51
ograKamping_Kaiser, serial rinters are usually used in POS systems11:52
ograto print bills etc11:52
Kamping_Kaiserogra, yeh. i'm just looking around my room wondering if i have any serial's lying around11:53
cbx33ogra: I've never printed from an ltsp thin client11:53
ograwell, we need the code from sbalneav first :)11:53
ogracbx33, look in the ltsp.org docs11:53
ograits 100% equal ... and will stay this way (if i get scotties code)11:54
cbx33ok11:55
Kamping_Kaiserah well. i dont have a serial printer (well, not that i can see)12:02
