wist_hi guys... i dont know if it's the right thing to do or the right place to ask but....... After installing Edubuntu to my HD it just crashes everytime the Updates notification pops up03:02

wist_isntalled from the live cd.. i need to do something here... just dont know what..03:03
LaserJockyikes, that's not good03:03
LaserJockI'd actually ask #ubuntu as it's probably a generic problem (not Edubuntu specific) and they have a lot more people03:03

cbx33I wondered if yo ucould spare me a few minuetes in a sec11:19
ograsure11:19
cbx33just to go over one or two points11:19
cbx33hang on lemme boot up the laptop11:19
cbx33oh yeh...right 1) mounting proc in the chroot11:20
cbx33i don't think I've ever done that....11:21
ograa bunch of packages require it ...11:21
cbx33ahh right ok cool11:21
cbx33that's fine11:21
cbx332) my blabberings about the server configs11:22
ograone vs two NICs ?11:22
cbx33yeh11:22
cbx33see i used to use a one NIC + alternative DHCP server setup11:22
ograsure, thats fine11:24
cbx33and the reason why i was saying about connecting to a private subnet11:24
cbx33is so that people can't bypass the edubuntu server to gain access to the network11:24
ograwhat i complained about was the "edubuntu as a gateway"11:24
cbx33using like a live cd for example11:24
cbx33i thought this was more of an advantage11:25
ograit's a secuzrity feature that we dont route the client network11:25
cbx33but....i'm probably wrong ;)11:25
ograthe two NIC setup is our declared and desired default11:25
cbx33but in a way the edbuntu server does act like a firewall/gateway11:25
ograin that setup you dont have any routing between client network and LAN11:26
cbx33unless the clients are not booting from the edubuntu server11:26
ograif you use a single NIC setup11:26
ograyou can indeed let the clients be on the internet directly11:26
cbx33oh i see11:27
cbx33i think11:27
cbx33are you saying....11:27
ograwhy shouzld the clients not boot from the edubuntu server in the two NIC setup, there is nothing in the way11:27
cbx33Internet -> NIC1 -> Edubuntu server -> NiC2 -> Switch -> Clients11:27
ograyou have a dedicated network and a dedicated dhcpd11:27
ograright11:28
ograNIC2 is owned by the edubuntu server alone11:28
cbx33so basically you do have a seperate private subnet11:28
cbx33on NIC211:28
ograright, thats the default setup since edgy11:28
cbx33maybe it was just my wording11:28
cbx33that's what I was saying in that first bit11:28
ograif yor setup differs from it you get  a warning from ltsp-client-builder during install11:28
cbx33that the "other card is usually connected to a private subnet of the network"11:29
cbx33NIC2 is connected to a switch connecte to just LTSP clients11:29
ograright11:29
cbx33so where is my wording wrong?11:29
ograbut in no scenario you use edubuntu as a gateway (at least by default)11:29
cbx33ok11:29
cbx33if I remove the word gateway is that better?11:30
ogra"Using Edubuntu as the primary gateway requires the server machine to have two network interface cards. "11:30
cbx33I'll put using edubuntu in the recommend configuration requires/.....11:30
ogratry to explain why we use two NICs etc11:30
cbx33and take out primary gateway11:30
cbx33I will11:30
cbx33ok thanks11:30
ograand indeed, avoid the term gateway :)11:30
cbx33hehe11:30
cbx33sorry11:30
cbx33i didn't mean gateway like that11:31
cbx33but yes11:31
ograno, its fine11:31
cbx33I sholdn't have used it11:31
ograthere might come setups where we need to route the clients11:31
ograin the future11:31
cbx33and the xres question was not in the build chroot11:31
ograbut for now i'd like to sell it as an additional security feature11:31
cbx33and the xres question was not in the build chroot11:31
cbx33it was in the general setup11:31
ograah, good11:31
ograelse debconf would have been broken11:31
cbx33hehe11:32
cbx33sorry11:32
ograit's explicitly told to not ask11:32
cbx33thanks for the chroot reinforcement11:32
cbx33in the kernels section11:32

juliuxcbx33, for alle the network are nice pictures in web https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPWiring perhap it help11:32
cbx33yes11:32
cbx33now11:33
ograjuliux, these are not printable in a book ... the quality is rather web ...11:33
cbx33did I get the localdevices section all wrong11:33
ograand i dont have bigger originals of them11:33
cbx33ogra: I will be putting diagrams11:33
ograright11:33
juliuxogra, i will create new ones in the next days, i need some for a poster for the expos11:33
cbx33but they are likely to be redrawn by publishers11:33
cbx33is my local devices section all wrong ogra ?11:34
ograno, the localdev section is fine, but missing information :)11:34
cbx33oh ok11:34
cbx33I'll read11:34
ograhow do i switch it on on a normal ubuntu, what has to be done additionally in edubuntu11:35
cbx33I'l probably leave that out11:35
cbx33and point to a wiki11:35
cbx33as this is meant to be generally about edubuntu11:36
ograwell, the "add the user to the fuse group, the user manager has a special option for it" would be nice, else you wont have local devices at all11:36
cbx33ahhh yes11:37
cbx33so you need that for edubuntu too?11:37
ogra(not adding the users to the fuse group by default is also a security feature you can point out)11:37
ograyes, thats all thats needed in edubuntu11:37
ograin ubuntu you have to enable it in the lts.conf additionally, which edubuntu has by default11:38
ogra(just read the wiki ;) )11:39
cbx33ok11:39
cbx33I will11:39
cbx33sorry about the troubleshooting ltsp11:39
cbx33:p11:39
cbx33the dhcp-server status11:40
cbx33heheh11:40
cbx33i guessed....to be checked later on11:40
cbx33thanks for the commands11:40
ograin the future we'll have little tools based on python-ltsp for that ;)11:40
cbx33nice11:40
cbx33for the window managers11:41
cbx33obviously once they are installed...the dropdown stuff applies right?11:42
cbx33kubuntu-desktop11:42
cbx33?11:42
ograit always applies11:42
ograyou always have a "default" and a "gnome" session11:42
cbx33ahh yes11:42
ograwhere default points to gnome in that case indeed11:42
ograif you install xfce, kubuntu or xubuntu desktop they will appear there ... whatever you installed last will be the default11:43
cbx33ok11:43
cbx33does ldm askyou if you want to make the one you just changed to default?11:43
ograno11:44
ograit's not gdm :)11:44
ogra(yet :P )11:44
cbx33hehe11:44
cbx33ok so ... arey ouhappy for what I have to be the first draft if I make the changes you requested?11:45
ograsure11:45
cbx33is it ok?11:45
ograyep11:45
cbx33how would you rate it?11:45
cbx33think it'l be good for edubuntu?11:45
ograit's good user doumentation, and indeed i think it will be good :)11:46

RichEdso if they have to migrate, why not migrate to an open future, free of licence fees or licence admin and the whims & financial needs of a US monopoly01:04

ograwhat about the python2.4-dbus dep ?01:27
ogracan we switch to 2.5 ?01:27

cbx33what do we do about previous versions?01:27
cbx33is there a python-dbus?01:27

cbx33maybe we could use that01:28
ograright01:29
ogradoes tcm-backend need to depend on pessulus ?01:30
ograheh, no it depends on python-tcm thats sufficient01:30

ogradid you test and develop on a feisty system ?01:45

cbx33if you want to modify to test it's at the bottom of the vnc.py file in the usr/lib01:53
cbx33just after the VNC class edfinition01:53
cbx33it slipped through01:53
cbx33sorry01:53
ograwhats that connect/disconnect button in the toolbar ?01:54
ograthe most left one01:54
cbx33that will be for the remote server01:54
ogra(apart from being a redundant button)01:54
cbx33will bring up a dialog01:54

ograhaving two disconnect buttons with the same icon is a bit conbfusing01:55

cbx33icons are my last point01:55
ograbut thats a feisty+1 feature anyway, just hide it for now01:55
cbx33oh is it...01:55
ograand make it switched on constantly01:55
cbx33it's done01:55
ogradid you test it extensively with say 10 ltsp servers ?01:56
cbx33no....01:56
cbx33i don;t have that kind of resources01:56

cbx33for the remote server?01:56
ogralets do it right and keep it for feisty+101:56
cbx33not done yet... :p01:56

cbx33if you check out the ltcm.py file in /usr/lib you'll see that it's mostly in there01:57
cbx33yeh i know what you mean01:57
cbx33each call to the backend has a "remote" alternative01:57
cbx33if an ip is passed01:57
ograyep, saw that01:58
ogralets concentrate on the features we actually can test ...01:58
cbx33ok01:59
ograand that are likely to be perfect in the release01:59
cbx33tested the user groups thingy?01:59
ogranot yet01:59

ografor now i'm fine ...01:59

ograi'll send you the debdiff and upload ...02:00
ograoh, one thing ...02:00
cbx33ok02:00
cbx33what's that02:00
cbx33I gotta shoot off for a while02:00
ogralets agree that we use the ubuntu versioning scheme with the new version02:00
cbx33sure02:00
ogramakes it easier for debian to adopt it02:00
cbx33if you can explain it to me02:00
cbx33I'll use it02:00
ogra0.5.0 is your upstream version02:00
ogra0.5.0-1 would be the first debian package of it (if its non native liek ours)02:01
cbx33gtg....will read when i get back02:01
ogra0.5.0-0ubuntu1 would be a first ubuntu package of an app02:01
ograbecause 0.5.0-1 is bigger than 0.5.0-0ubuntu1 a package from the same source built in debian would override ours02:02
ogramakes syncing easy etc02:02
ograoh, and one last thing, please be more wordy in your changelog entries ...02:03
cbx33thanks ogra02:03
cbx33ok02:03

ograone line doesnt suffice for that :)02:04

sbalneavI think it's /dev/usb/lp005:09
cbx33anywhere to make sure05:09
cbx33it's for the edubuntu chapter in the officilal ubuntu boook05:09
sbalneavI can check at home tonight.  It depends on where Ubuntu's udev puts usb printers.  I don't have one here, but at home I do.05:10
cbx33ok cool05:10
cbx33thanks sbalneav05:10
cbx33sbalneav, ooh can I ask yo uanother question05:10

cbx33less confusing05:15
ogra_not sure yet if i want to ship a default lts.conmf05:15
cbx33ahh...05:15
cbx33ok I'll keep it as you have to modify lts for now05:15
ogra_its default in edubuntu05:15
ogra_but not in ltsp05:15
cbx33ahh05:15
cbx33I only really care about edubuntu at the moment05:15
ogra_ah, right05:15
ogra_we have it in hthe default file since edgy05:15
cbx33ahh05:16

cbx33thought so05:16
cbx33sorry ogra_05:16
cbx33:# - embarrased05:16
cbx33ogra_, where i use the lp_server name in the chapter....should I use lp_server/jetpipe ?05:19
cbx33cos we don't use lp_server now do we05:19
ogra_no, we dont05:19
cbx33I explained the difference above05:19
ogra_dont make it to public05:19
ogra_(the old name i mean)05:19
cbx33oh ok05:19
cbx33I'll just use jetpipe05:20
ogra_sbalneav, btw ...05:20
cbx33do we yet have a print charging system for edubuntu LTSP?05:20
cbx33that is something our school would be extremely interested in05:20
cbx33maybe I'll have to write one05:20
ogra_cups ?05:20
ogra_it should write proper logs05:20
cbx33cool05:20
cbx33but does it limit printing based on how much they have used?05:20
ogra_on the server you still run cups ... jetpipe is only piping jetdirect stuff to /dev/lpsomething05:21
cbx33true...sorry I'm pretty fried it's been a long day05:21
cbx33ogra_, is this valid05:22

cbx33so i will fix any other issues you mentioned05:49
cbx33:)05:49
cbx33thank you again ogra_05:50
cbx33I know it took valuable time to look at that today05:50
cbx33and the book05:50
cbx33you rock05:50
ogra_and really, dont try to do everything, concentrate on the most important stuff, what we dont get this release, we'll get next one ...05:50
cbx33ok05:51
cbx33I don't want to dissapoint05:51
cbx33I'll get the most important stuff done05:51
ogra_if you have time left to do extra stuff, fine ...05:51
cbx33ok05:51
ogra_but set priorities :)05:51
ogra_for yourself i mean ...05:51
cbx33meh 195.248.38.80 is down05:51
=== ogra_ takes a break
cbx33archive.ubuntu.com05:51
cbx33you deserve it05:52
cbx33making the changes to book now05:52
cbx33tcm is for later on05:52
cbx33so ogra_ we're good for FF now?05:52

cbx33hehe05:52
ogra_archive.ubuntu.com05:52
ogra_not at all05:52
cbx33I need to fix up and working for Thursday05:52
ogra_edubuntu auth server/client are looking bad ...05:52
cbx33ok05:52
cbx33no no i meant TCM05:53
ogra_fat clients wont happen without it05:53
cbx33anything I can do? - says the man who's already pushing it :)05:53
ogra_so all i have to show this time might be sound, tcm and 2cds05:53
cbx33get me a job there and I can finish everything up05:53
cbx33haha05:53
ogra_i'm trying to get ltsp-manager done though05:53
cbx33ogra_, do we have an edubuntu specific roadmap?05:53
ogra_willvdl wanted to make one once ...05:54
cbx33i think it's good idea05:54
ogra_but i think that didnt happen yet05:54
ogra_soemthing for the educon :)05:54
cbx33but not now obviously05:54
willvdlwell, the technical roadmap is handled well by the sprints, dev summits and launchpad05:54
cbx33and we need to split up tasks....and make that more visible05:55
cbx33willvdl, is it all documented in one place?05:55
cbx33willvdl, got time for a little chat?05:55
willvdlcbx33, if you know how to use LP then yes :)05:55
ogra_willvdl, well, then we need a roadmap generator that makes us a roadmap from the html of the spec page ;)05:55
ogra_something for UDS ;)05:56
cbx33willvdl, what d'ya need05:56
willvdlogra_, is there a real need for that? I mean will be automatic but it will still need ot be built05:56
ogra_well, you build it once05:56
ogra_and paste it to a website05:56
cbx33oh sorry willvdl05:56
ogra_"desired features"05:56
cbx33i didn't get what ya meant05:56
cbx33is it possible to track those changes05:56
cbx33and also....what can we break down for the community05:57
willvdlhang on, two threads :)05:57
ogra_"for status overviews please see the specific spec pages on LP"05:57
cbx33thanks ogra_05:57
willvdlogra_, there is probably a good case for a nice formatted easy to read overview that is simply pulled from LP05:57
cbx33i think if we can pull all relevant info together on a wiki page05:57
ogra_willvdl, thats what i mean ... if i remember yxou and RichEd in the beginning, such a page would have been valuable05:58
willvdlThe hard part is pulling in the "informational" specs on docs/marketing etc.05:58
cbx33of course05:58
willvdlyeah, RichEd mentioned something like that05:58
ogra_anyway, break ... bbl05:58
cbx33but once it's done initially it means it _should_ just need updating05:58
cbx33see ya ogra_05:58
willvdlit will work for the technical specs05:59
willvdlcbx33, have a look at https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Wiki/SiteMap06:00
willvdlit is a WIP for the wiki at least to use the wiki more than the www06:00
willvdland point to all the spin-off projects06:00
willvdllike doc-team, marjeting-team, esa06:00
cbx33cool06:01
willvdlit's jsut a start as it's quite hard to do :)06:01
cbx33do we generally have people in charge of speficic areas?06:01
willvdlbut our community page etc needed updating06:01
cbx33it would be nice after the meeting on a wednesday, to have each...section leader, update what's needed to be updated etc06:01
cbx33so people know what's going on and can help out06:01
willvdlthat's tricky too06:02
willvdlconsidering that docs are handled by the doc-team06:02
willvdletc.06:02
willvdlah, wait I get you06:02
willvdlhmmm. nice idea06:02
cbx33do you see what i mean06:03
willvdlyes06:03
cbx33and then there is a one stop portal06:03
cbx33for what's needed to be done06:03
cbx33what has been done06:03
willvdlhave a look at that sitemap and tell me if the structure makes sense to you06:03
cbx33yes it does06:03
cbx33perhaps06:04
willvdlI'm not convinced it will work properly06:04
cbx33we could split it down into the sections of the meeting06:04
willvdlIt is geared around "how to contribute" and then ships you off somewhere else06:04
cbx33i revolve around that myself06:04
cbx33if we had a page with06:04
cbx33Tech/Artwork/Docs/Community etc06:04
cbx33as a small nav at the top06:04
willvdlas opposed to "how to contribute" and "this is what we are doing"06:04
willvdllike the original community page06:05
cbx33people could click on that and see the curent status of what we're doing06:05
cbx33hmmm06:05
cbx33i see your point06:05
=== cbx33 goes back for a second look
willvdlI'm going to work on it again tonight.06:05
willvdlI need to e.g. move doc stuff to doc-team and then link to there from our roadmap06:06
cbx33hmm yes06:06
willvdlI also need a quick break. very hot06:07
cbx33hehe06:07
cbx33it's cold here06:07
cbx33like only a few degrees06:07
willvdl30 at least here and it's 19:0006:09
highvoltagewillvdl: according to the gnome applet, its' 24C atm :)06:16
highvoltage(but it feels closer to 30C)06:16
cbx33ltsp-build-client --extra-mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe06:18
cbx33is that the correct syntax for building a chroot with univer added?06:19
Laser_awaywillvdl: pingy pingy06:21
=== Laser_away is now known as LaserJock
cbx33hey LaserJock06:21
LaserJockhi Pete06:21
LaserJockis oli around?06:22
willvdlhighvoltage, your gnome applet is not in SMW :)06:23
LaserJockcbx33: I see lots of TCM activity in the backlog06:23
willvdlLaserJock, pongy pongy06:23
cbx33yup it's in06:23
LaserJockwillvdl: did you get an answer about Edubuntu Cookbook vs Edubuntu Handbook in the wiki?06:23
cbx33oli is around he's just on a break right now06:23
willvdlah, no06:24
cbx33LaserJock, ^^ is that the right syntax for the build client do you know?06:24
LaserJockwillvdl: Edubuntu Cookbook was started first, and then the Edubuntu Handbook was started seperately later06:24
LaserJockI kept the old material around because there was a decent amount of material06:25
willvdlyip, realise that but I'm not sure about the "relevance" of the stuff that is in help.u.c06:25
cbx33pardon me but...does KEduca actually do anything when you select a test from the servers?06:25
LaserJockcbx33: I don't know about syntax06:25
LaserJockstill morning for me06:25
LaserJock;-)06:26
LaserJockwillvdl: well, if the Handbook gets done I almost think we should wipe both from the wiki06:26
willvdlLaserJock, we all spoke at some length not so long ago about doing stuff on wiki vs docbook06:26
willvdland I still don't know what is the best course of action...06:26
LaserJocksure06:27
LaserJockbut I think starting from a clean slate at least would be good06:27
cbx33++06:27
willvdlis there stuff on the wiki that is not in the docbook?06:27
cbx33possibly06:27
LaserJockI don't know06:27
cbx33why not export and save all pages somewhere06:27
LaserJockthat's the problem06:27
cbx33:p06:27
willvdlOK, I'll check tonight and make a report on it06:27
cbx33wow you're brave willvdl06:28
LaserJockoutdated and incomplete help is about as bad as no help at all06:28
willvdlI just don't have the time to actually contribute to the docbook at the moment.06:28
willvdlbut I can make a few wiki pages pointing folks to how to contribute :)06:28
LaserJockmhm06:28
willvdlI just with that Help Wiki Wuality Assurance spec would get taken seriously06:29
=== willvdl has a lisp. make that quality
LaserJockwell, it is taken seriously06:30
LaserJockjust not enough man power to get anywhere fast, IMO06:30
willvdlmeaning I can see some real problems coming in when we have dapper, edgy and feisty swirling about06:30
willvdland one handbook for instance06:30
cbx33yes06:31
highvoltagewillvdl: heh06:31
cbx33willvdl, I have already hit that06:31
cbx33with the book chapter06:31
willvdlhow?06:31
willvdlmeaning you have already experienced that?06:31
cbx33writing some different versions of methods to handle diffrent verions of edubuntu06:31
cbx33right well....i think willvdl that this hits upon what we were talking about earlier06:32
cbx33hi highvoltage06:32
LaserJockwe should have a wiki page that gives a table of LTSP features and what versions of Edubuntu have them06:32
willvdldocbook has some "context" tag thingy that would work06:32
cbx33LaserJock, mostly, how to enable/enabled by default too06:32
willvdlthen when you build it each release, you jsut specify what "contexts" to build in06:32
LaserJockthat sounds somewhat overly complicated06:33
LaserJockwhy not branch for each version of Edubuntu06:33
willvdlit's in the Qual Assur spec06:33
LaserJockfor docbook?06:34
willvdlyip.06:34
=== LaserJock goes to read the spec again
LaserJockHelpWikiQualityAssurance does say anything about docbook06:35
LaserJock*doesn't06:35
LaserJockjust Moin06:35
willvdlhmmm, where did I read it then...06:35
LaserJockmaybe in one of Matthew East's other brain bender specs ;-)06:36
willvdlSean Wheller is quite a fan of the idea as well06:37
LaserJockI bet06:37
LaserJocknot that I'm particularly against it06:38
LaserJockI just think we've got a lot of other things that need fixing06:38
willvdlbut I guess you're right, branches would suffice06:38
willvdlit depends on how the Handbook is going to be distributed06:38
=== cbx33 agrees on the fixing thing
cbx33bbl06:39
LaserJockright now we can't even make pdfs right so I'm a little less concerned about branching vs context building06:40
willvdlpdfs are a lesser concern IMO06:41
LaserJockwell, it depends06:41
LaserJockbranching works quite well06:41
LaserJockthough it is would probably be a little bit more managment06:42
willvdlonly problem with branching is that there is then less tendency to update older docs06:42
LaserJockhaving a PDF that people can print that looks profession is important for me06:42
willvdland onyl work on current ones06:42
LaserJockhmm, I'm not sure about that06:43
willvdltrue. seperate issues though butI'm with you on the manpower thing06:43
LaserJockbranching allows you to fix things in older docs without messing with the current ones06:43
LaserJockI could see the context thing as getting pretty complicated06:43
willvdlyeah but you'll be less likely to do so since it's branched06:43
LaserJockwhich is a good thing06:43
willvdlagreed. would need full-time management06:44
LaserJockyou don't want "stable" documentation to be constantly changing06:44
willvdlyeah. point06:44
LaserJockthere are pros and cons06:45
=== Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #edubuntu
willvdlhmmm.06:45
LaserJockif the context thing worked well and there weren't a lot of differences it'd probably be nice06:45
willvdlI need to have a solid look at the handbook tonight06:45
LaserJockbut if you are rewriting large chuncks each release ...06:45
willvdlI don't even know if it currently builds06:45
LaserJockI think nixternal's keeping track of it ok, he built an edubuntu-docs package06:46
willvdlawesome06:46
willvdlmust remember to pat him on the back06:46
willvdlLaserJock, the other thing that is at the back of my mind is what the scope/aim of the handbook is suposed to be06:48
willvdlI can't help thinking that most relevant info should be in an install-guide and in upstream help06:48
LaserJockyes, well that's the nature of a Handbook06:50
LaserJockI think I'd rather see something more along the lines of TBH that integrates into the Ubuntu documentation06:50
willvdlexactly. it aims to reinvent certian wheels but at the same time I can see the definite need for it06:50
willvdlor that06:50
LaserJockon the other hand, it *is* useful as a PDF or HTML guide06:51
LaserJockwhere people can get all the info from one source06:51
LaserJockprint it out06:51
LaserJockwhatever06:51
willvdlespecially since it is likely to be most useful as an install-guide and first-time-configuration-guide06:51
willvdlbut if it's TBH then you can build it to look how you want06:52
LaserJockwell, kinda06:52
LaserJockI don't think the doc team will be creating PDF or HTML versions of the docs anymore06:53
LaserJockwe are basically sacraficing online versions to get TBH on the user's computer06:53
LaserJockin the end the goal is to reintroduce the contents of the help into the help wiki06:54
LaserJockso help.u.c will be all wiki06:54
willvdlyeah, I know.06:55
willvdlI'm not sure I like it though06:55
willvdlit means that the info is in yelp, fine, but also on the wiki06:55
willvdlwhich means people will want to edit it06:55
willvdlthe reverse process doesn't work06:56
LaserJockwell06:56
LaserJockat first the pages from yelp will be immutable I imagine06:57
LaserJockand then once Moin->docbook is finished then docs will be written/maintained in the wiki06:57
LaserJockand then shipped as docbook06:57
willvdlit just seems ... odd. are there not other collaborative tools (like gobby) for editing rather06:58

LaserJockwillvdl: at some point you just have to take the best one and archive the rest ;-)08:09
nixternalwho said my name? :)08:12
LaserJockme08:12
LaserJockwillvdl was wondering how edubuntu docs were doing08:13
LaserJocknixternal: did you just put the handbook into your new edubuntu-docs package?08:13
nixternalno08:13
nixternalhandbook, about edubuntu, release notes, and the school advocacy guide08:14
LaserJockno Ubuntu material though08:14
nixternalI may have forgot to add that in the changelog08:14
LaserJock?08:14
nixternalno Ubuntu material08:14
nixternalUbuntu-docs are installed by default it seems with Edubuntu08:14
LaserJockI think we need to replace that08:14
nixternalwell, I think the Ubuntu-docs should stay seeing as it will be GNOME specific, especially with the topic based help08:15
LaserJockyes, but it blows away all our docs in doing so08:15
nixternalif we remove Ubuntu-docs then we can just add the topic based stuff to the Edubuntu package08:15
LaserJockexactly08:15
LaserJockfor now, I think it might be easier to tweak Ubuntu's yelp frontpage to add in the Edubuntu material08:16
nixternalalready done08:16
LaserJockand include the TBH stuff in edubuntu-docs (replace ubuntu-docs)08:16
nixternalat least the Edubuntu shows up on the Yelp frontpage08:16
LaserJockdoes the Ubuntu material?08:16
nixternalyes08:16
nixternalboth do08:16
nixternalit is rather sloppy, but nothing much that a little bit of hacking can't fix08:17
LaserJockhmm, have you got your package somewhere, I'd like to test that out08:17
nixternalya, one sec08:17
LaserJocksloppy works for me as long as it works even a little bit ;-)08:17
cbx33are we getting the latest version of scribus in ubuntu?08:17
cbx331.3|08:17
nixternalhttp://www.nixternal.com/docs/edubuntu/feisty-package/08:17
cbx33we're lagging behind with 1.2.508:17
LaserJockisn't that scribus-ng08:18
nixternalheh, I downloaded it from the Scribus page08:18
LaserJock?08:18
nixternalyes08:18
crimsunLaserJock: Pete can't read, that's all.08:18
nixternalthey have the Police Academy here at the university today08:18
nixternalso there are a bunch of wannabe cops roaming around08:19
crimsuncbx33: you're an MOTU; you _know_ how to use apt-cache search08:19
cbx33true08:19
nixternalhaha08:20
nixternalsorry, didn't mean to laugh at you :)08:20
nixternalI have been in school for 2 hours now, and we have gotten 3 inches of snow in the mean time08:20
nixternalmy drive home is going to be horrible08:20
LaserJocknixternal: blame it on all that global warming :-)08:22
nixternalshush, no such thing!08:23
cbx33nixternal, cool08:23
LaserJocknixternal: the other thing is if we want to ship the docs we need to get it into Main08:23
cbx33I only asked cos the default installed scribus in edubuntu is clearly 1.2.508:23
cbx33That's all08:23
nixternalLaserJock: I will leave that up to you, I am not worthy08:24
cbx33i thought there was a newer one.  Sorry for my lack of reading abliities :(08:24
LaserJockI think there was something about replacing scribus with scribus-ng because 1.2 isn't going to be getting bug fixes, etc.08:24
LaserJocknixternal: *I* am not worthy08:24
LaserJockthis stinkin' Feature Freeze deadline is killing me08:24
nixternalhah, you and crimsun are the closes to be legal entities of GODDOM08:25
nixternalwas that a Bushism?08:25
LaserJockbah08:25
crimsunI ain't no stinking thing08:25
cbx33LaserJock, anything I can do?08:25
crimsunLaserJock's the MOTU rep to #launchpad _and_ a member of the MOTU trinity08:25
nixternalI can blame my poor typing on the lag I am experiencing on the school wifi > home server08:25
cbx33the MOTU trinity?08:25
LaserJockbut crimsun's the one that does all the work so ...08:26
crimsungrunts do all the work while deities bask08:26
LaserJockcbx33: perhaps, I'm just trying to get MIRs in08:26
nixternalhah08:26
nixternalcrimsun: well get to basking08:26
crimsunsorry, too busy being a grunt08:26
LaserJocklol08:26
nixternalheh08:28
nixternalcrimsun: I think I found a new audio bug though08:28
LaserJocknixternal: ewww, the yelp frontpage is a tad nasty08:28
nixternalLaserJock: yes, I said that up ^^08:29
cbx33i read that as a tad tasty then08:29
nixternalcrimsun: remember I told you about the mute button lighting up properly (which I never knew I had)?08:29
LaserJocknixternal: do you think you can work with mdke to get that worked out?08:29
nixternalwell if I mute it, shutdown/reboot, when I come back in the system is still muted, but the led isn't lit08:29
nixternalLaserJock: if I have to :)08:30
nixternalsure I can08:30
nixternalI need to learn more than the KDE side truthfully08:30
nixternalI mean GNOME needs so much help, I figured I would learn it a little bit more :)08:30
nixternalOH, btw, The main KDE Educational leader, is an avid lover of Edubuntu I found out recently while talking to her08:31
LaserJockyep08:31
LaserJockMarie I think is her name?08:31
nixternalYes08:31
nixternalI am helping her with the KDE 4 Educational documentation and hopefully working in strigi and some new help center08:31
LaserJocknixternal: I think you might want to change the versioning of your edubuntu-docs package08:32
crimsunnixternal: hardware boog.08:32
crimsunnixternal: we're obviously saving state correctly; bios isn't.08:32
cbx33stoopid bios08:33

nixternalI bet it works correctly in Windows :)08:33
=== nixternal runs and hides
willvdlLaserJock, nixternal: just catching up on a page or two back. Is the idea to have Edubuntu contain edubuntu-docs.deb but not ubuntu-docs.deb?08:36
nixternalLaserJock: I will be back at about 23:00 UTC. I gotta get my butt to class08:36
nixternalwillvdl: yes08:36
LaserJockwillvdl: we have to figure that out08:36
willvdland then build edubuntu-docs.deb to include the TBH stuff08:36
nixternalmerge some of the stuff from Ubuntu docs into Edubuntu docs08:37
willvdlmakefile issue, nothing more?08:37
LaserJockwell ...08:37
nixternalwe need major, and I mean major help with content for the Handbook as well08:37
LaserJockmostly08:37
willvdlexcluding content08:37
LaserJockwe need to rework the yelp frontpage to work for Edubuntu08:37
nixternalalrighty, Im heading off to class, I will be back at home 17:00 Chicago Standard Time :)  23:00 for you UTC'ers08:38
willvdllemme rephrase, to drop ubuntu-docs for Edubuntu would jsut require a tweaked makefile right?08:38
nixternalof course my server will be logging you talking bad about me08:38
willvdlwe don't use your name when we do that08:38
willvdlwe have hand-signals08:38
nixternalhaha08:38
LaserJockwillvdl: we also need to tweak the yelp frontpage to make it Edubuntu specific, but yeah08:38
willvdlOK. I'm working now on merging the 3 cookbooks08:39
willvdland can hopefully make a patch before edubuntu-meeting08:39
cbx33nice08:41
LaserJocknixternal: make sure to use versioning that's consistent with the current edubuntu-docs package. In fact, you should have the changelog, etc. from that08:41
nixternalalrighty, back in class08:53
nixternalLaserJock: I will redo it when I get home08:53
nixternalthis class is warm08:54
willvdlcrap my docbook skills are seriously rusty. can't even remeber how to include from other docs09:05

cberl1Hi folks.  Got a bit of a problem that I need help figuring out:  I ran into Kernel Panic today, and I'm not sure how to get data about what happened.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I'm on Edgy, and all up to date.09:34
stgraberyou should be able to get the log of the kernel panic in your /var/log/syslog file09:35
swimmerino88ok in mi computer I have ubuntu...now i have installed all the desktop ubuntu-kubuntu-edubuntu-xubuntu...I have two problem...the first one is that ubuntu doesn't work!after the login appear a window which tell me that there is a bug.I saved the file and the other problem is that edubuntu isn't in my sessions in the login!09:35
cberl1stgraber: Okay, so I should check the syslog.x file that matches the time of the panic?09:36
stgraberyes09:36
cberl1Okay, then what do I do with it?  :)09:36
stgrabercheck what's written just above it09:37
stgraberif you are lucky you'll easily see what module is involved09:37
cberl1Okay, I'll start there.  Thanks!09:37
stgraberOnce the module name found, you'll be able to find if the bug is already reported on https://launchpad.net09:38
stgraberif not, you'll be able to file a new bug09:38
cberl1stgraber: What if I don't find anything in the syslog about the kernel panic?09:40
stgrabercan you paste this part of the syslog to a pastebin ?09:41
swimmerino88LaserJock: this is the text that I saved http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4461/09:41
cberl1Sure -- I'll send you the appropriate timeframe and post the link here.09:41
swimmerino88please...nobody have my problem???09:43
LaserJockswimmerino88: Edubuntu essentiall replace Ubuntu09:44
LaserJockthey both use Gnome09:44
swimmerino88LaserJock:so i have to install or ubuntu or edubuntu?09:44
LaserJockswimmerino88: well, it's all there09:45
LaserJockit's just a matter of artwork mostly09:45
LaserJockwhat is it that you want to change?09:45
swimmerino88LaserJock:No I don't wanto to change..I'd like only tu use all the ubuntus09:46
LaserJockyou are09:46
swimmerino88LaserJock:what?09:46
LaserJockit's just that Ubuntu and Edubuntu are a little mixed together, they aren't completely independent in a sense09:47
cberl1stgraber: Okay, I've posted a filtered version to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4464/ (without the client kernel messages mixed in)09:47
cberl1stgraber: if you want the full thing, with what's going on with the clients as well, I'll repost09:47
cberl1stgraber: Basically, I got a call at about 9:15am telling me the server was down.  I arrived at 10am and tried to diagnose -- server was non-responsive so I rebooted it.09:48
swimmerino88LaserJock:ok but I have the same problem too.Now I will remove edubuntu-desktop...so I will have ubuntu-kubuntu an xubuntu,like before...but when I enter in ubuntu,after the login appear a window!an I can't work!it says that I have to save this file...I saved it but i can't work,becauste this windows appear,and appear and appear lots of times...this is the message-> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4461/ can you help me?09:50
cberl1stgraber: One thing I think I filtered out was nbdswap activating -- which is something odd, because I have that disabled in my lts.conf (I'll post to same link)09:52
stgrabercberl1: It's weird, you don't really have any useful information in your syslog ...09:52
LaserJockswimmerino88: ok, try moving aside your Gnome config. mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2_bak and relogin09:53
stgraberit's like if your server just had a power cut and was rebooted one hour after ...09:53
stgraberno module error of any kind before the reboot ...09:53
swimmerino88LaserJock:can you send to me the termila's command please?09:53
cberl1stgraber: I'll post the whole thing for that timeframe -- my feeling is it may be linked to the nbdswap...09:54
cberl1Try this:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4465/09:55
LaserJockswimmerino88: mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2_bak09:55

LaserJockwhy? I mean it might have taken some things with it that caused the problem10:03
LaserJockor did the problem already exist before you removed edubuntu-desktop?10:03
stgraberI know that I had some problem with parameters that exists in LTSP and not in Edubuntu10:03

LaserJockor still no panels?10:25
cberl1stgraber: That is the problem.  :)  I've got it defined as "False", so it gets set as "on"; defining it makes it true.10:26
cberl1stgraber: Which is fine, I'll edit my lts.conf to take it out.  If I still get panic, then I've narrowed a problem source, at least.10:26
stgraberin the worst case you can still do : NBD_SWAP="" just before the if10:27
swimmerino88LaserJock:i can login,but when te desktop appears there is the windows for the bug reports10:27
stgraberbut that's not a good way to do :)10:27
cberl1stgraber: True, but I think undefining it for now is fine.  I'm going to test for a while and see if that's it.  I'll post a new syslog if I keep getting kernel panic errors.  Strange that it doesn't put any info in the log, though.10:28
