| eroniusmaximus | Hello | 04:58 |
| eroniusmaximus | whats a reasonable amount of space to install Edubuntu? | 04:59 |
| kgoetz | server?go with 5 gig+home space | 05:00 |
| eroniusmaximus | just want to install it at home | 05:01 |
| eroniusmaximus | dual boot | 05:01 |
| eroniusmaximus | on laptop, so i havent that much space | 05:01 |
| kgoetz | workstation mightr fit in 2 gig | 05:01 |
| LaserJock | I would still got with 3-5GB | 05:02 |
| kgoetz | &^^ | 05:02 |
| LaserJock | ~2GB is the required spects | 05:02 |
| LaserJock | *specs | 05:02 |
| eroniusmaximus | plus some Swapspace plus some NTFS space or something eh... | 05:02 |
| eroniusmaximus | hm | 05:02 |
| kgoetz | 2 gig is 'look dont touch' ;) | 05:02 |
| eroniusmaximus | i was thinking i want enough to use bittorent to download DVDrips, | 05:03 |

| kgoetz | anyone had RPC issues with ltsp-server-standalone? | 06:17 |
| kgoetz | i'm wondering if theres some package doing RPC stuff tahts not dependended on by teh package, but should be (left of because its in -base or -minimial etc) | 06:17 |
| kgoetz | oh, fixed it. updated kernels, updated ssh keys, rebooted (i stuffed up reming the host), it works. something there fixed it | 06:34 |
| === kgoetz notices theres no way to halt an ltsp client without a mouse | ||
| highvoltage | kgoetz: I've had RPC problems before | 07:21 |
| highvoltage | kgoetz: but I could never figure out how to troubleshoot it properly | 07:21 |
| highvoltage | kgoetz: you can halt a thin client with a keyboard, by pressing alt+printscreen+o at the same time | 07:21 |
| kgoetz | thanks re halting. what an odd way to do it :) | 07:22 |

| lee___ | hello | 12:17 |
| kgoetz | from shipit yes | 12:19 |
| kgoetz | and patience will get you everware | 12:19 |
| lee___ | now i've ordered for 5 ubuntu cd's will it be completely free | 12:20 |
| kgoetz | if you ordred 6.06.1 lts | 12:21 |
| lee___ | yup | 12:21 |
| lee___ | is this the latest version of ubuntu? | 12:23 |
| kgoetz | no. hte latest is 6.10 | 12:23 |
| lee___ | is there any diffrence between the two? Can i use it to teach students in my school? | 12:25 |
| kgoetz | imo 6.06 is better, but there is some nice stuff in the newer versoin. i think you'll find 606 is more stable at any reate | 12:25 |
| lee___ | will they charge me for shipment at my doorstep? | 12:28 |
| kgoetz | on 606? not that i recall | 12:28 |

| cbx33 | kgoetz, what's better about 6.06 in your opinion? | 12:37 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: LTS, stability (in a big way) | 12:38 |
| kgoetz | plus a few gripes aobut edgy | 12:38 |
| kgoetz | *few little | 12:38 |
| cbx33 | kgoetz, are those gripes going to be fixed in feisty? | 12:40 |
| bimberi | lee___: nope, delivered to your address of choice at no cost to you :) | 12:42 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: i dont know, but since one of them is 'using vim-tiny', the boot splash (still), starting stuff once gdm is up, lsb compliance, i doubt it. | 12:42 |
| kgoetz | one/some | 12:42 |
| cbx33 | kgoetz, if they are bugs, i urge you to report them on Launchpad | 12:43 |
| cbx33 | so we can get them fixed | 12:43 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: well i suspect they are features (or work in progress features), which is why i havent reported them as bugs. perhaps i should grab a feisty iso (bit late now FF is gone though) | 12:44 |
| cbx33 | true | 12:44 |
| cbx33 | but bug fixes are still possible | 12:45 |
| kgoetz | daily-live? | 12:47 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: have you ever heard of a kibibyte? | 12:47 |
| cbx33 | no highvoltage what's that? | 12:47 |
| kgoetz | kilobyte using 1000 not 1024 | 12:48 |
| highvoltage | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte | 12:48 |
| highvoltage | I've never seen the term before, which I find strange | 12:48 |
| cbx33 | me neither | 12:49 |
| kgoetz | you must have seen gibibyte though | 12:49 |
| cbx33 | hard to pronounce fast too | 12:49 |
| cbx33 | kgoetz, I've never seen it | 12:49 |
| kgoetz | like ubuntu ;) | 12:49 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: oh | 12:49 |
| highvoltage | I haven't seen gibibyte either | 12:49 |
| cbx33 | and I'm a netowrk manager | 12:49 |
| cbx33 | i would hope to hav seen it | 12:50 |
| highvoltage | perhaps I just read to fast and read it as gigabyte and megabyte | 12:50 |
| highvoltage | cbx33: I'm going to ask a whole bunch of network admins next week :) | 12:50 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: `ifconfig |grep RX` | 12:50 |
| kgoetz | notice MiB and KiB | 12:50 |
| cbx33 | highvoltage, blog about it :p | 12:51 |
| cbx33 | kgoetz, now I have seen that before | 12:51 |
| kgoetz | cbx33: its the short hand | 12:51 |
| cbx33 | but never knew what it really meant, | 12:51 |
| === kgoetz tries to remember other commands | ||
| kgoetz | df -H (iirc) | 12:51 |
| cbx33 | indeed | 12:52 |
| === cbx33 thinks he needs to file a bug against df | ||
| cbx33 | :p | 12:52 |
| cbx33 | it should use | 12:52 |
| cbx33 | GB and GiB | 12:52 |
| cbx33 | or soemthing like that | 12:52 |
| cbx33 | not just G for both | 12:52 |
| kgoetz | true, but you have to 'opt in' to using the GiB switch | 12:54 |
| cbx33 | true but | 12:54 |
| cbx33 | h and H are very similar | 12:55 |
| kgoetz | true. if it makes you happy use --si insted of -H :P | 12:55 |

| stgraber | I'm doing some testing on how to smoothly introduce people to Edubuntu (with LTSP). The idea is to be able to connected to the Edubuntu terminal server with the less software and settings needed and that directly from Windows | 08:07 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: like a Windows client for LTSP? | 08:07 |
| stgraber | The best would be to use a RDP server on Ubuntu (I heard of xrdp) but it's not easy to connect it to the XDMCP server | 08:07 |
| stgraber | yes | 08:07 |
| highvoltage | cool | 08:07 |
| ogra | there is no xdmcp running on edubuntu | 08:08 |
| stgraber | but I'm currently looking on the best way to do that | 08:08 |
| highvoltage | you could probably also do it with Putty and a X server for Windows | 08:08 |
| ogra | right | 08:08 |
| ogra | thats the right way | 08:08 |
| highvoltage | which way, ogra? | 08:08 |
| ogra | yours | 08:08 |
| highvoltage | cool :) | 08:08 |
| ogra | putty and Xserver | 08:08 |
| stgraber | Actually I didn't find any really free and easy to use X server for windows | 08:08 |
| ogra | Xorg has none ? | 08:09 |
| stgraber | there is cygwin but it's not what I call "easy" | 08:09 |
| ogra | well | 08:09 |
| highvoltage | a friend of mine installed it on his windows machine last week, and he says it was quite easy | 08:09 |
| === highvoltage tries to find him on jabber | ||
| stgraber | My other idea is to try this NoMachine stuff, I heard that the video quality is quite good and it should be easy to install on the server (with sound working) | 08:10 |
| highvoltage | the good thing about that is that it would be fast over slow connections. but the big downside is, you have to install extra software on the server for that to work. | 08:12 |
| stgraber | my other problem is that it would be really better to have a standalone software which doesn't need any kind of Administrator right to be launched as the admin are quite paranoiac here ... | 08:12 |
| stgraber | Oh, I just found a free X server for windows, http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ | 08:23 |
| highvoltage | hmmm... I wonder if local devices will work if you install dbus for windows | 08:26 |
| highvoltage | it's probably a far stretch :) | 08:26 |
| === stgraber would be happy if display and sound works :) | ||
| cbx33 | stgraber, cygwin is pretty easy ;) | 09:24 |
