| SiCk | :D | 01:01 |
| cbx33 | hey SiCk | 01:01 |
| SiCk | hey cb, how's you? | 01:03 |
| cbx33 | yeh I'm good | 01:04 |
| cbx33 | and you? | 01:04 |
| SiCk | yup, goin well, lots of stuff to keep me busy today in work | 01:08 |
| SiCk | restoring a mysql database, trying to get edgy working with 40 thin clients etc. | 01:08 |
| SiCk | funtimes! | 01:08 |
| cbx33 | how is it going with edgy and edubuntu | 01:09 |
| cbx33 | ? | 01:09 |
| SiCk | meh.. so so, just upgraded to edgy from dapper | 01:17 |
| SiCk | just finished installing, so just to drop the dhcpd over and install the custom kernel for the thin-clients and try again... | 01:17 |
| cbx33 | nice | 01:18 |
| cbx33 | SiCk: do you use printing on the workstations | 01:18 |
| ogra_ | cbx33, for an usb printer set PRINTER_0_DEVICE=/dev/usblp0 for the specific workstation (using the MAC adress) in lts.conf ... | 01:24 |
| ogra_ | on the client note down the ip from the ldm screen | 01:25 |
| cbx33 | thanks ogra_ | 01:25 |
| ogra_ | log in and open gnome-print manager | 01:25 |
| ogra_ | select network printer | 01:25 |
| cbx33 | when you add the printer in gnome-print manager can use a MAC address to identify it? | 01:25 |
| ogra_ | select "HP jet direct" in the pulldown menu | 01:25 |
| cbx33 | sure | 01:26 |
| ogra_ | put the ip into the input fieold, leave the portnumber as is | 01:26 |
| ogra_ | thats it | 01:26 |
| cbx33 | but... | 01:26 |
| cbx33 | how do i find the ip? | 01:26 |
| cbx33 | and are the leases permanent? | 01:26 |
| ogra_ | read what i wrote ? | 01:26 |
| cbx33 | yes | 01:27 |
| ogra_ | pretty permanent ... i havent seen one change since i work on ltsp ... but then i only test with 5 clients max | 01:27 |
| cbx33 | ok | 01:27 |
| cbx33 | i have to describe to them in the book the easiest way to get the ip address | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | what do you suggest? | 01:28 |
| ogra_ | read what i wrote ? | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | oh and did you see my messages abotu that? | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | oh...yeh | 01:28 |
| ogra_ | <ogra_> on the client note down the ip from the ldm screen | 01:28 |
| ogra_ | <ogra_> log in and open gnome-print manager | 01:28 |
| ogra_ | <cbx33> thanks ogra_ | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | sorry | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | I'm dumb | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | i missed that one | 01:28 |
| ogra_ | :) | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | Debra said it's fine to send you the book | 01:28 |
| ogra_ | great ! | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | so I'll hopefully get that to you soon | 01:28 |
| cbx33 | it really needs a looking over before next week | 01:29 |
| cbx33 | think yo ucan do that | 01:29 |
| ogra_ | i hope | 01:29 |
| ogra_ | herd3 is ahead | 01:29 |
| cbx33 | yeh i know | 01:29 |
| ogra_ | and no trace of rodarvus who wanted to do most of it | 01:29 |
| cbx33 | it's only 10,000 words ogra_ ... | 01:29 |
| cbx33 | shouldn't take you too long | 01:29 |
| cbx33 | heheheh | 01:29 |
| cbx33 | mwuhahaha | 01:29 |

| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| cbx33 | sorry i was manically laughing at giving you 10,000 words of my drivel to read | 01:31 |

| cbx33 | ok | 01:31 |
| SiCk | hey ogra :) | 01:31 |
| ogra | yo | 01:32 |
| === SiCk starts up the thin-client on edgy this time | ||
| === SiCk crosses fingers | ||
| SiCk | took your advice ogra :) | 01:32 |
| ogra | good | 01:32 |
| cbx33 | ogra's advice is always good | 01:33 |
| SiCk | thats because hes too smart for his own good ;) | 01:33 |
| SiCk | p.s. i think i broke my installation :( | 01:33 |
| SiCk | haha | 01:33 |
| SiCk | tftp file not found... are there file differences between dapper dhcpd.conf and edgy? | 01:34 |
| ogra | no | 01:34 |
| SiCk | hmm, i maybe installed that custom kernel wrong... | 01:34 |
| ogra | did you put it into /etc/ltsp ? | 01:34 |
| SiCk | i followed all the directions you'd given | 01:35 |
| SiCk | it worked on dapper.. just not this time | 01:35 |
| cbx33 | cool | 01:35 |
| cbx33 | with herd 3 I can do an install and then check the book stuff | 01:35 |
| SiCk | sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 dpkg -i /tmp/linux-image-2.6.15-27-386_2.6.15-27.50_i386.deb | 01:35 |
| SiCk | sudo ltsp-update-kernels | 01:35 |
| SiCk | after downloading it of course | 01:36 |
| SiCk | it seemed to do all that without a hitch though | 01:36 |
| ogra | hmm, why did you do that ? | 01:36 |
| SiCk | because remember the thin-clients i had wont boot off a normal kernel, only the one that was made for that mad via eden processor | 01:37 |
| SiCk | someone in #ubuntu-kernel | 01:37 |
| ogra | ah, right i forgot | 01:38 |
| ogra | did you install ltwsp-server-standalone ? or only ltsp-server ? | 01:39 |
| SiCk | server just | 01:39 |
| ogra | aha | 01:39 |
| ogra | install -standalone | 01:39 |
| ogra | it adds the missing bits and pieces | 01:40 |
| SiCk | ahh, ill do that now | 01:40 |
| ogra | things like a tftp server for example :) | 01:40 |
| cbx33 | hahah | 01:40 |
| SiCk | hmm, aparently it's installed and the newest version... | 01:41 |
| ogra | hmm | 01:41 |
| ogra | grep tftp /etc/inetd.conf | 01:42 |
| ogra | try that | 01:42 |
| ogra | should return a line not starting with "#" | 01:42 |
| SiCk | 2 lines | 01:42 |
| SiCk | tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot | 01:43 |
| SiCk | oh, 1 line, just stretched | 01:43 |
| ogra | ok | 01:43 |
| ogra | ps ax|grep inetd | 01:43 |
| ogra | should return /usr/sbin/inetd | 01:43 |
| SiCk | 4007 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd | 01:43 |
| ogra | at least | 01:43 |
| ogra | ok | 01:43 |
| ogra | ps ax|grep dhcpd ? | 01:44 |
| SiCk | 10605 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep dhcpd | 01:44 |
| ogra | nothing else ? | 01:44 |
| SiCk | nope | 01:44 |
| ogra | aha | 01:44 |
| ogra | your dhcp server isnt running then | 01:45 |
| SiCk | though dhcpd3-server is stopped at the moment | 01:45 |
| SiCk | heh | 01:45 |
| SiCk | i run it before i boot the clients, but its on a shared connection with another dhcp server at the moment, so i've got it stopped | 01:45 |
| ogra | start it and check again with the ps command as above | 01:45 |
| SiCk | okay | 01:45 |
| ogra | nope, that wont work | 01:45 |
| cbx33 | SiCk: what's the other dhcp server? | 01:46 |
| ogra | you cant run two dhcp servers in one network if you want to netboot | 01:46 |
| ogra | (you can but thats a very very tricky and complicated setup) | 01:46 |
| SiCk | i know, we're working that out later.. i might be throwing them all on a vlan or whatever | 01:46 |
| SiCk | at the moment they're connected tdo eachother | 01:46 |
| SiCk | and now i have the 2 lines ogra with dhcpd3 running | 01:47 |
| ogra | than it wont boot | 01:47 |
| ogra | *then | 01:47 |
| SiCk | cbx33: its a windows dhcp server, our DC | 01:47 |
| SiCk | ogra: we'll be discovering all that once we get the thin-clients booting | 01:47 |
| cbx33 | you can get the windows dhcp to server the addresses | 01:47 |
| ogra | you will have to make them boot off the windows server | 01:47 |
| cbx33 | SiCk: that's easy | 01:48 |
| cbx33 | there's a howto I wrote on the wiki | 01:48 |
| ogra | and shut down the dhcp server on the linux machine | 01:48 |
| SiCk | cbx33: yeah i saw the wiki the other day on it... you posted a link to someone else | 01:48 |
| SiCk | but at the moment we just want the clients going as well as they can.. and they aint *sniff* | 01:49 |
| SiCk | everything on the ltsp server seems fine | 01:49 |
| cbx33 | SiCk: but they will do....if you use the dhcp server | 01:49 |
| SiCk | i am, at the moment the client is connected to the ltsp server with a crossover | 01:50 |
| SiCk | the client is getting the IP's and everything | 01:50 |
| cbx33 | ahh i see | 01:50 |
| SiCk | just getting PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File Not Found | 01:51 |
| SiCk | sorry, i know im confusing. haha | 01:51 |
| cbx33 | try logging in with tftp maunally and gertting the file then | 01:56 |
| SiCk | ill try that now | 02:02 |

| capt_kirk | Hi all | 02:03 |
| capt_kirk | Anyone know if thin client printing (attached to the thin client's lp0) works in Edgy? I'm about to test it out, but didn't want to take down our computer lab if there's some hidden bomb in the Edgy implementation. I've read a couple of threads that say ogra is looking at how to best implement it, but I'm wondering if modifying lts.conf per the LTSP 4.1 documenation will work. Thanks. | 02:07 |
| capt_kirk | ogra: are you at your computer? | 02:08 |
| SiCk | cbx33, i've tftp'd to the computer, what file would i be getting? | 02:09 |

| cbx33 | you are tftping into the root of the tfpt server | 02:56 |
| cbx33 | right? | 02:56 |
| cbx33 | check the tftp inet.d file to see what the root is | 02:56 |
| cbx33 | or if ogra is around he'll shout it out I'm sure | 02:56 |
| cbx33 | then basically you want to | 02:56 |
| cbx33 | get dir/filename | 02:56 |
| cbx33 | that make sense? | 02:56 |

| willvdl | ah. what video format/codec etc. would be best quality? | 03:20 |
| cbx33 | hmm.... | 03:20 |
| cbx33 | i used avi | 03:20 |
| willvdl | divx5? xvid? | 03:20 |
| cbx33 | xvid | 03:20 |
| cbx33 | i think | 03:20 |
| willvdl | I'll google it but I think you're right | 03:20 |
| willvdl | and for editing the avi? | 03:21 |
| cbx33 | um....well... | 03:21 |
| cbx33 | I then take it into either kino | 03:21 |

| willvdl | cool. knew you would know :] | 03:22 |
| willvdl | you're timing is impeccable! | 03:22 |
| cbx33 | hehe | 03:22 |
| cbx33 | I try willvdl, I try :p | 03:22 |
| willvdl | how's tcm? | 03:22 |
| cbx33 | yeh getting better all the time | 03:23 |
| cbx33 | cleaning up the package tonight for ogra to take a look at some of the management specifics in the week | 03:23 |
| willvdl | cool | 03:23 |
| cbx33 | also shipping him over the book chapter for a run through | 03:23 |
| willvdl | nice. look forward to that | 03:23 |
| cbx33 | yeh, we have a bit of problem with tcm | 03:23 |
| cbx33 | but I'm hoping it'll get solved soon | 03:23 |
| cbx33 | it's a license issue | 03:23 |
| cbx33 | crippled_des.py from redhat's virtual manager, isn't GPL compatible | 03:24 |
| willvdl | "beautify" the code | 03:24 |
| cbx33 | but both red hat and pyvnc2swf give it away as GPL | 03:24 |
| willvdl | that's what I'd do :) | 03:24 |
| cbx33 | heheh | 03:24 |
| willvdl | I'm curious, what do you use vnc for in TCM?> | 03:25 |
| cbx33 | the backend code from pyvnc2swf :p | 03:25 |
| cbx33 | i didn't have time/nor the knowledge at this stage to write one myself | 03:25 |
| willvdl | to "spy" on the thin-clients? | 03:25 |
| cbx33 | however, next release, I may write my own slimmed down vnc server | 03:26 |
| cbx33 | we use x11vnc at the mo | 03:26 |
| cbx33 | or will do | 03:26 |
| willvdl | for what purpose though? | 03:26 |
| cbx33 | spying | 03:26 |
| cbx33 | and also working the other way, so that staff can show their screen to many clients | 03:26 |
| willvdl | ah. Is it not possible to jsut grab the framebuffer? | 03:26 |
| cbx33 | well not directly from python i fear | 03:27 |
| cbx33 | i would have to write a library to do it | 03:27 |
| cbx33 | basically, to view the clients in the tile view, we don't need a full on vnc server implemntation | 03:27 |
| cbx33 | so I aim to make another server | 03:27 |
| willvdl | just thinking | 03:28 |
| cbx33 | as I don't think vnc can do what we need | 03:28 |
| willvdl | cause it all runs on the server | 03:28 |
| cbx33 | ah not x11vnc | 03:28 |
| cbx33 | that runs on the client | 03:28 |
| cbx33 | i know what you're thinking | 03:28 |

| cbx33 | Bectaconsiders that educational institutions shouldonly consider deploying Office 2007 when theyare assured of its interoperability withalternative products including free-to-useproducts such as OpenOffice.org. | 04:15 |
| cbx33 | that;s good news | 04:25 |

| cbx33 | hey SiCk | 05:25 |
| cbx33 | howz it going | 05:26 |
| cbx33 | ogra, just looking at the python ltsp stuff now | 05:28 |
| SiCk | it isnt.. heh | 05:28 |
| SiCk | :) | 05:28 |
| SiCk | yourself? | 05:28 |
| cbx33 | you got two secs for a question | 05:28 |
| cbx33 | SiCk, just pacakging up tcm again | 05:28 |
| SiCk | ah, yeah i noticed ogra mentioning you not able to package something in yesterday? | 05:29 |
| SiCk | copyrights and whatnot | 05:29 |
| cbx33 | oh yeh I'm still waiting on the that one | 05:29 |
| cbx33 | I'm looking at the python-central stuff at the moment | 05:29 |
| ogra | cbx33, shoot | 05:29 |
| cbx33 | ok | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | well, | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | the python-tcm pacakge | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | needs to include a conf file for dbus and the scp-startup file etc | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | is that ok to be included in there | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | as the python-tcm pacakge should just be the module right? | 05:30 |
| ogra | do you really need it in there ? | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | but the actual backend system requires more | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | yes | 05:30 |
| cbx33 | dbus config is backend | 05:31 |
| ogra | the conf file is for grouping which you only use in the gui | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | it's not handled by front end | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | no | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | not the dbus conf file | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | and the scp-remote | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | and scp-client | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | they are all backend | 05:31 |
| ogra | i'm talking about the conffile | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | non-gui generic | 05:31 |
| capt_kirk | Anyone know if thin client printing (attached to the thin client's lp0) works in Edgy? I'm about to test it out, but didn't want to take down our computer lab if there's some hidden bomb in the Edgy implementation. I've read a couple of threads that say ogra is looking at how to best implement it, but I'm wondering if modifying lts.conf per the LTSP 4.1 documenation will work. Thanks. | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | well, the conf stuff is actually non-gui generic | 05:31 |
| ogra | scp-remote and scp-client are apps, they shouldnt be in the module package | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | so where hsould they go? | 05:31 |
| cbx33 | we need three pacakges then | 05:32 |
| ogra | seems like | 05:32 |
| cbx33 | module, backend, frontend | 05:32 |
| cbx33 | you ok with that? | 05:32 |
| ogra | yep | 05:32 |
| cbx33 | ok I'll work up that now | 05:32 |
| cbx33 | i think i sorted most out | 05:32 |
| cbx33 | some stuff will need to wait for you to fiddle and test before it gets confirmed | 05:32 |
| cbx33 | ie the controls are in just not the confirmed command | 05:33 |
| ogra | thats fine | 05:33 |
| cbx33 | ok I hope to get this and hopfully the book to you tonight | 05:33 |
| cbx33 | then I can relax for a day | 05:33 |
| cbx33 | phew | 05:33 |
| ogra | capt_kirk, edgy uses the same printing mechanism as ltsp 4.1 did | 05:33 |
| cbx33 | right off to do some packaging, some packaging, some packaging....goes old motu song | 05:34 |
| ogra | due to the fiddly licensing situation with lp_server we needed to kick it out though ... and a python based replacement is in feisty | 05:34 |
| cbx33 | is it still called lp_server? | 05:35 |
| ogra | nope, the new implementation is called jetpipe | 05:35 |
| capt_kirk | ogra, thanks! I'll give it a shot. Great work on Edgy, by the way. Much better thin-client experience that Dapper. I have two labs up and running at the two schools I'm supporting. Local devices are a huge help. Thank you from 200 users. | 05:35 |
| cbx33 | ogra, ok...there's one change for the book already then ;) | 05:35 |
| cbx33 | capt_kirk, do you use student control panel? | 05:36 |
| ogra | capt_kirk, thanks, such a feedback is invaluable :) | 05:36 |
| capt_kirk | cbx33, I've played with it some, but only in passing. | 05:36 |
| cbx33 | ok | 05:36 |
| cbx33 | hoping it'll rock for feisty | 05:36 |
| cbx33 | ogra, am I right in thinking all three binary packages can be built from this one source? | 05:37 |
| cbx33 | or should the module be split? | 05:37 |
| capt_kirk | i've also played a little with LTSP Manager. Really looking forward to it working like the use cases in the spec. | 05:37 |
| capt_kirk | That would be very useful. | 05:37 |
| cbx33 | indeed | 05:37 |
| ogra | cbx33, its fine to build it from the same source for now | 05:37 |
| cbx33 | ogra, btw if you need a hand with that.... | 05:37 |
| ogra | might make maintanance easier | 05:37 |
| cbx33 | testing ui hacking just shout | 05:37 |
| cbx33 | ogra, ok cool | 05:38 |
| capt_kirk | I wish I had time to help with the development, but at this point I can only be a casual tester | 05:38 |
| cbx33 | capt_kirk, that's still so valuable | 05:38 |
| === Burgwork [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| cbx33 | will you be able to test feisty? | 05:38 |
| capt_kirk | cbx33, thanks. | 05:38 |
| cbx33 | in it's beta stages? | 05:38 |
| ogra | cbx33, https://launchpad.net/~ogra/+branch/ltsp/feisty-ltsp-jetpipe btw | 05:38 |
| cbx33 | that would be awesome....as you know how to install/configure for site deployment | 05:39 |
| cbx33 | thanks ogra | 05:39 |
| capt_kirk | i've lost track of the timing for feisty. when should it be in beta? | 05:39 |
| cbx33 | um....fairly soon | 05:39 |
| cbx33 | featuer freeze is 8th feb | 05:39 |
| ogra | we'll release the third milestone CD this week | 05:39 |
| cbx33 | that's gona be awesome | 05:39 |
| ogra | from mid feb on it should be intresting to test it ... :) | 05:39 |
| cbx33 | ogra, I'll install that hopefully once released to check TCM works on it | 05:39 |
| capt_kirk | I should be able to. We leave Tanzania and go back to the States in July, and I lose my labs then. (I'll set one up at home for the kids when we get back home.) | 05:40 |
| cbx33 | right ogra I'm gonna let you get on with things and stop interrupting you and get on with this packaging | 05:40 |
| cbx33 | you around if I get stuck? | 05:40 |
| capt_kirk | cool. Yes, I can probably test. | 05:40 |
| cbx33 | capt_kirk, that'd be awesome | 05:40 |
| ogra | cbx33, indeed | 05:40 |
| cbx33 | thanks dude | 05:40 |
| ogra | yeah, that'd be great | 05:40 |
| ogra | we need every helping hand with testing | 05:40 |
| capt_kirk | One comment from dapper-edgy upgrade experience, it really sucked. | 05:40 |
| ogra | in which area ? | 05:41 |
| ogra | and how did you upgrade ? | 05:41 |
| capt_kirk | it really messed up the one lab that was running dapper. I know the advice was to do a clean install, but I did a dist-upgrade to try to avoid rebuilding everything. | 05:41 |
| capt_kirk | The other lab was a clean Edgy install and it went great | 05:42 |
| ogra | the only advice for a clean install goes for ltsp ... | 05:42 |
| ogra | you should be able to upgrade fine | 05:42 |
| capt_kirk | Over Christmas break, I did a clean install on the messed-up lab, and it's all good now. | 05:42 |
| ogra | if not, thats a bug that needs fixing | 05:42 |
| capt_kirk | It seemed to be a LTSP problem | 05:43 |
| cbx33 | ogra, am I author for tcm or is it you? | 05:43 |
| ogra | for debian/copyright ? | 05:43 |
| capt_kirk | should I have un-installed LTSP and reinstalled it after doing the dist-upgrade? | 05:43 |
| ogra | nope | 05:43 |
| capt_kirk | just a clean install from the start? | 05:43 |
| ogra | but you should have wiped /opt/ltsp/i386 and done a sudo ltsp-build-client | 05:43 |
| capt_kirk | ahh | 05:44 |
| ogra | but that doesnt affect the server at all ... | 05:44 |
| cbx33 | ogra, for debian copyright and for setup.py | 05:44 |
| ogra | and shouldnt break on upgrades | 05:44 |
| capt_kirk | it also wiped out the x server on the main box, but I probably could have hacked it back to working. I wasn't in the mood to deal with xorg, so I just did a clean install. | 05:44 |

| ogra | yours is all the rest :) (2006/7) | 05:45 |
| capt_kirk | will Feisty also need a ltsp rebuild? | 05:45 |
| ogra | i try to avoid that | 05:45 |
| capt_kirk | cool | 05:46 |
| ogra | i need the pulseaudio trasition properly going though ... | 05:46 |
| capt_kirk | do you think the beta will be mature enough to test in a live lab? (I know all of the warnings, but there's the warnings and there's reality.) I don't have any extra boxes to do a separate test on. Dev labs aren't a real high priority in Tanzania. I'd be happy to test in one of the school labs if it's fairly mature. I don't mind a few bugs, just not a system that will require hourly reboot. | 05:48 |
| cbx33 | ogra, should the vnc.py and rfb.py stuff go.....where? | 05:48 |
| ogra | gui ? | 05:48 |
| cbx33 | they are only pertinent to the gui package | 05:48 |
| cbx33 | but they are placed in the /usr/lib/python2.4/site-pacakges/studentcontrolpanel/ dir | 05:49 |
| cbx33 | is taht still ok? | 05:49 |
| willvdl | cbx33, do you think it matters if the OGM/AVI is interlaced or not? | 05:50 |
| cbx33 | hmmm are you having problems with kino reading it? | 05:50 |
| cbx33 | if so, search my blog, it has an mencoder command line that will sort convert it to the right format | 05:51 |
| willvdl | kino takes DV files | 05:51 |
| cbx33 | no it doesn't | 05:51 |
| willvdl | avidemux can edit it | 05:51 |

| cbx33 | avi | 05:52 |
| cbx33 | kino can import them trust me | 05:52 |
| cbx33 | so ogra is that still ok ? ^^^ | 05:52 |
| willvdl | well, I find that avi or ogg won't make a difference. Just the container, codec is still xvid and only the audio is affected | 05:52 |
| ogra | just make sure to depend in python-tcm | 05:53 |
| ogra | *on | 05:53 |
| cbx33 | ok | 05:53 |
| cbx33 | that's what I've done | 05:53 |
| cbx33 | and i can just dump them there, instead of setup.py python-central installing right? | 05:53 |
| ogra | hmm | 05:53 |
| ogra | i would use python-central ... | 05:54 |
| cbx33 | GAAAAHHHH!!! | 05:54 |
| ogra | with dh_pycentral | 05:54 |
| cbx33 | ok | 05:54 |
| cbx33 | :( | 05:54 |
| === cbx33 will try | ||
| ogra | just make the gui depend on it ... | 05:54 |
| cbx33 | ok | 05:54 |
| cbx33 | the gui already does | 05:54 |
| ogra | dh_pycentral will add its stuff to the ostinst ... | 05:54 |
| ogra | *post | 05:54 |
| cbx33 | so are you saying lump them into the python-tcm package now? | 05:55 |
| ogra | no | 05:55 |
| cbx33 | or have a seperate entry in the setup.py for the other one | 05:55 |
| ogra | i say leave them in the gui and use pycentral there | 05:55 |
| cbx33 | ok | 05:55 |
| cbx33 | I've never ever done that | 05:55 |
| cbx33 | I'll try it and if I get stuck I'll shout for help | 05:55 |

| cbx33 | I'll get it | 05:56 |
| cbx33 | you know it | 05:56 |
| cbx33 | ogra, looking at it, the code that is AT&T copyrighted, is a simply modification that was made....is there a change we can beautify it as willvdl put it, to get round the issue? | 05:58 |

| cbx33 | i think there was a problem with it | 06:02 |
| cbx33 | will check later | 06:02 |
| cbx33 | after I try this INSANE pacakging | 06:02 |

| cbx33 | having packaging nightmares at the mo | 06:17 |
| capt_kirk | ogra, one other thought from the field: is there a way to make the chroot get it's packages from the main root? Whenever I update the chroot, I end up downloading many of the same files I've already downloaded to the main root. That wouldn't matter at home, with real broadband, but in Tanzania with 3-4 KBps at top, it can mean several extra hours of download. | 06:19 |

| cbx33 | ogra, does your setup.py actually ever get run? | 07:47 |
| cbx33 | don;t you need a line like python$* setup.py install --root $(CURDIR)/debian/python-foo | 07:47 |
| cbx33 | LaserJock, around? | 07:48 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: sorry, was actually taking with a researcher here who just installed Ubuntu | 07:53 |
| cbx33 | excellent | 07:53 |
| LaserJock | he's a computer newb | 07:53 |
| LaserJock | but he loves Ubuntu | 07:53 |
| cbx33 | do you have time to help me out with some pacakging? | 07:53 |
| cbx33 | AWESOME | 07:53 |
| LaserJock | yeah, he even said the install wasn't hard | 07:54 |
| LaserJock | and his printer worked | 07:54 |
| LaserJock | he's Bulgarian and was really impressed that he could use his computer in Bulgarian | 07:54 |
| LaserJock | he thought Ubuntu had to be a UN project | 07:54 |
| cbx33 | hehe | 07:54 |
| LaserJock | because how else could something this good be free | 07:54 |
| cbx33 | hehe | 07:55 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: can you put the package up somewhere real quick? | 07:56 |
| cbx33 | yeh sure | 07:57 |
| cbx33 | mail it to you? | 07:57 |

| willvdl | cbx33, stuff seems to work with AVI's but not OGGs. Kino struggles though to import but avidemux works fine for splitting (you lose the sound with OGGs but not with AVIs). | 08:34 |
| cbx33 | ok | 08:34 |
| willvdl | I find it odd since they both use the same xvid codec. must have something to do with the sound overlay | 08:34 |

| cbx33 | yeh | 08:37 |

| g333k_work | Hi, do you know a way to send popups messages to my clients? (Beside fl_teachertool, I've tried it but it is not working for me) | 08:51 |
| cbx33 | g333k_work, student control panel | 08:52 |
| g333k_work | cbx33, does it work with ltsp 4.2? | 08:52 |
| cbx33 | should do | 08:53 |
| cbx33 | what are you on | 08:53 |

| cbx33 | sudo apt-get install student-control-panel | 08:53 |
| g333k_work | cbx33, I thought that the s-c-p in the repo was for ltsp 5 | 08:58 |
| cbx33 | oh | 08:58 |
| cbx33 | I'm not sure then | 08:59 |
| g333k_work | :s | 08:59 |
| cbx33 | i wrote the s-c-p in edgy | 08:59 |
| cbx33 | but for the ltsp in edgy | 09:00 |
| cbx33 | I'm not sure what changes there are tbh | 09:00 |
