[12:09] <cbx33> ping ogra_
[12:31] <cbx33> dang it.....where is edubuntugirl when you need her
[01:18] <highvoltage> good question
[01:29] <cbx33> highvoltage, ping
[01:30] <cbx33> brb
[01:33] <highvoltage> cbx33: pong
[01:34] <cbx33> highvoltage, i'll be back in a while if you're still here
[01:34] <cbx33> need some advice
[01:36] <highvoltage> I'll still be here, I'm just going to chat to someone for a minute, but fire away in the meantime
[01:36] <highvoltage> (I might get some coffee too, have a *lot* of work to finish today)
[02:30] <cbx33> ping highvoltage
[02:52] <lemurfan> Can edubuntu conect to a wireless network?
[02:53] <jsgotangco> yes
[02:53] <lemurfan> How
[02:53] <jsgotangco> hvae you configured wireless in linux before?
[02:53] <jsgotangco> its pretty much the same
[02:53] <lemurfan> no
[02:53] <jsgotangco> the installer usually detects your wireless interface
[02:54] <lemurfan> Just by plugging in my USB WiFi stick
[02:54] <jsgotangco> do ifconfig and check if you have an additional interface after plugging it in
[02:55] <lemurfan> Oh right
[02:56] <cbx33> jsgotangco, doesn;'t iwconfig check for wireless?
[02:56] <jsgotangco> ;)
[02:56] <jsgotangco> yes for wireless speficially
[02:56] <jsgotangco> but its still an interface whatever ;)
[02:57] <cbx33> ahh rgiht o
[03:00] <cbx33> edubuntugirl, tell highvoltage I'm here for the next hour or so....ping me when you're back
[03:00] <edubuntugirl> Righto, cbx33!
[03:09] <highvoltage> cbx33: ugh. I kept wondering when you were going to ping me back, but my irssi window got stuck when I momentarily lost my connection
[03:09] <edubuntugirl> highvoltage: by the way, cbx33 told me to tell you 'I'm here for the next hour or so....ping me when you're back' 9 minutes and 21 seconds ago (on Sat Feb  3 16:01:03 2007)
[03:10] <cbx33> haha
[04:17] <bddebian> Heya
[04:20] <cbx33> hey bddebian
[04:21] <bddebian> Hi cbx33
[04:31] <cbx33> ping ogra_ herd3 LTSP build fails
[04:31] <highvoltage> cbx33: really? that's quite a bummer :(
[04:40] <cbx33> yup
[04:40] <cbx33> pulse audio
[05:01] <meduxa> is anybody from edubuntu project attending to The International free software conference in Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain next week?
[05:07] <meduxa> http://www.freesoftwareworldconference.com/
[05:18] <cbx33> highvoltage, think I shuld LP bug that LTSP failure and assign it to ogra?
[05:22] <highvoltage> cbx33: yep
[05:22] <cbx33> ok
[05:40] <cbx33> highvoltage, done
[05:56] <highvoltage> cbx33: reading that bug was weird, it feels like I'm reading it in my terminal :)
[05:56] <highvoltage> (especially if you scroll at *just* the right speed)
[05:56] <cbx33> heheh
[05:57] <cbx33> think i shoud add a description?
[05:57] <cbx33> thought ogra_  would know the issue
[05:58] <highvoltage> nah it's fine. there's nothing wrong with it, it just looks funny
[06:03] <lemurfan> How do you get WiFi to work
[06:05] <lemurfan> Can someone help me please
[06:13] <paolob> Hi ogra_ ! I resolved the problem with the mounting failures: it was due to electromagnetic interferences from two inverters situated very near to the net wiring.
[06:14] <cbx33> paolob, wow
[06:14] <cbx33> neat problem
[06:16] <paolob> cbx33, I wrote something in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPWiring , but is worth a check with the language...
[06:17] <cbx33> nice
[06:17] <paolob> andk I think it would be better to put a section in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/TroubleShooting
[06:17] <cbx33> coulkd the clients still talk to the network before
[06:18] <highvoltage> paolob: interesting problem :)
[06:18] <highvoltage> edubuntugirl: choose go to punk rock show tonight or work through it
[06:18] <edubuntugirl> I choose work through it, highvoltage
[06:19] <highvoltage> she never lets me have any fun.
[06:19] <paolob> Here in Dominican Republic every pc must have an inverter, and I suppose many more 3rd world countries have the same situation
[06:19] <highvoltage> paolob: what kind of power do you use there?
[06:20] <highvoltage> here in South Africa it's just 230V 50hz power
[06:20] <highvoltage> (well, supposed to be 230V but during peak times in winter it drops quite a bit)
[06:21] <paolob> highvoltage, 110 V
[06:21] <paolob> 60 Hz
[06:21] <paolob> I think it's the USA standard
[06:21] <paolob> economically we are a USA satellite
[06:21] <highvoltage> aaha
[06:22] <highvoltage> I don't quite understand what the inverters are for though
[06:23] <paolob> an inverter is an electrical power source with deep cycle batteries
[06:23] <paolob> Here we have power some 12-14 hours a day, mainly in the night
[06:24] <highvoltage> wow, that's real interesting. those deep cycle batteries must be extremely expensive
[06:24] <juliux> evening
[06:24] <highvoltage> hey jules
[06:24] <cbx33> hi juliux
[06:25] <juliux> only two examens to go;
[06:25] <highvoltage> bye!
[06:26] <paolob> highvoltage, a 6 V 225 Ah battery costs some  US$100.00, and a 3.5 KV inverter costs some US$1,000
[06:26] <highvoltage> paolob: does it get enough chance to charge fully while the power is up?
[06:26] <juliux> cbx33, if you have time take a look at http://ubuntu.juliux.de/edubuntu_back.png and http://ubuntu.juliux.de/edubuntu_front.png
[06:26] <paolob> highvoltage, yes, it charges the batteries in 3-4 hours
[06:27] <cbx33> ooooh nice juliux
[06:27] <juliux> cbx33, the text is still the one from the ubuntu flyer
[06:27] <cbx33> coool
[06:28] <cbx33> did you ever see our edubuntu lealet?
[06:28] <cbx33> leaflet
[06:28] <cbx33> ?
[06:28] <cbx33> want a copy?
[06:29] <cbx33> what's your email
[06:30] <juliux> you mean the leaflet for the BETT ?
[06:30] <cbx33> yeh
[06:32] <juliux> i get this one allready
[06:32] <cbx33> ok
[06:32] <juliux> but i personal don't like flyers in din a4
[06:32] <cbx33> no
[06:32] <cbx33> but was thining you may like the text from it
[06:32] <juliux> yes
[06:32] <juliux> i will playaorund with the flyer in the next days
[06:32] <cbx33> and you could take the characters too if you wanted them
[06:34] <juliux> i will play around with the flyer;9
[06:34] <juliux> after monday i have a little bit more time
[06:38] <cbx33> highvoltage, that bug is because the pulse audio pacakge isn't in main yet
[06:38] <cbx33> well the seound compat one anyway
[06:46] <elmo40> good afternoon (EST) I was wondering what kind of hardware requirements Edubuntu has.
[06:46] <elmo40> CPU & RAM (I have hdd space)
[06:47] <elmo40> using Gnome or KDE will demand a decent amount of RAM. I only have 256Mb
[06:52] <cbx33> seen the new edubuntu artwork peeps
[06:52] <cbx33> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuArtwork/Palette
[06:52] <juliux> cbx33, the ldm theme is cool
[06:53] <juliux> h gdm
[07:03] <elmo40> no one is willing to help me? I am inquiring about CPU & RAM requirements for Edubuntu.
[07:29] <airjump> hello
[07:52] <lemurfan> How do you setup wireless internet
[07:55] <lemurfan> Can anyone help please
[08:45] <elmo40> typical ubuntu crap... full room, yet no one tries to help.
[08:45] <cbx33> hi elmo40
[08:45] <elmo40> hi
[08:45] <cbx33> elmo40 sorry dude you gotta understand it's a weekend
[08:45] <cbx33> and edubuntu is a pretty small community
[08:46] <elmo40> i understand completely
[08:46] <cbx33> compare that with ubuntu.......1040 people in the room
[08:46] <cbx33> anyway
[08:46] <cbx33> how can I help
[08:46] <elmo40> i am on 4 other channels, 3 linux, one something else.
[08:46] <elmo40> they all are chatting
[08:46] <elmo40> all i asked was how CPU intensive is Edubuntu with their current WM's
[08:47] <elmo40> what do you suggest is minimum
[08:47] <cbx33> hmm
[08:47] <edubuntugirl> cbx33: by the way, cbx33 told me to tell you 'hi' 1 minutes and 0 seconds ago (on Sat Feb  3 21:46:58 2007)
[08:47] <elmo40> i wanted to make a computer for my daughter, it is OLD (celeron 466 w/256 RAM)
[08:47] <cbx33> what a minimum CPU for what edubuntu server or thin client?
[08:47] <cbx33> thanks edubuntugirl
[08:47] <elmo40> thin client?? this is not a standalone distro?
[08:48] <cbx33> yeh is it
[08:48] <elmo40> oh
[08:48] <cbx33> but it is able to do a complete Linux Terminal Server Project
[08:48] <elmo40> so not what i wanted then
[08:48] <elmo40> oh well
[08:48] <elmo40> i didnt know it was an ltsp
[08:49] <elmo40> that will help me with a different project ;)
[08:49] <cbx33> well it does both
[08:49] <cbx33> it's not one or the other.....it is both
[08:49] <elmo40> then my question remains... min CPU?
[08:50] <elmo40> P3?
[08:50] <cbx33> should be fine
[08:51] <cbx33> wht speed?
[08:52] <juliux> elmo40, you can run ubuntu/edubuntu with 800mhz and 256mb
[08:52] <cbx33> there ya go
[08:52] <cbx33> ;)
[08:52] <elmo40> hrmm, ok.
[08:52] <juliux> elmo40, it works with 256mb ram but more is better
[08:52] <elmo40> still kinda out of my league :-P
[08:52] <cbx33> what ya got elmo40?
[08:52] <cbx33> and what ya after?
[08:52] <elmo40> maybe i should try DSL
[08:53] <cbx33> what about puppy
[08:53] <elmo40> i wanted a distro, with education apps on it, for this OLD celerey 466 :/
[08:53] <cbx33> that's an awesome distro
[08:53] <cbx33> ahhh
[08:53] <cbx33> i see
[08:53] <elmo40> trying puppy right now ;) Works nice.
[08:53] <cbx33> is it stand alone?
[08:53] <elmo40> ya, all by itself
[08:54] <elmo40> well, i have 3 of them (maybe i should cluster it) LOL
[08:55] <cbx33> hehe
[08:55] <cbx33> if you can get a slightly higher powered one
[08:55] <cbx33> you could do an LTSP edubuntu setup
[08:55] <elmo40> all of them are Dell OptiPlex GX100's
[08:55] <cbx33> got to go
[08:55] <cbx33> bye
