| Burgundavia | cbx33: pong | 07:19 |
| edubuntugirl | Burgundavia: by the way, cbx33 told me to tell you 'I will be home from work early tomorrow which will give me time to finish up those changes on the chapter. I did try to email you, but pocketpc died.' 3 days, 6 hours, 21 minutes and 57 seconds ago (on Mon Feb 19 01:58:03 2007) | 07:19 |
| Burgundavia | cbx33: given I am currently relaxing with A, I didn't have time to look at your chapter | 07:20 |
| cbx33 | haha | 07:20 |
| cbx33 | ok | 07:20 |

| cbx33 | deb wants it on friday.....from me at least, i'm just trying to see when i can fit in changes. I only really have tonight left. | 07:25 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 07:25 |

| cbx33 | she sent me a mail today asking for everything on friday as hand off day | 07:27 |
| Burgundavia | from you to the reviews or from me to her? | 07:29 |
| cbx33 | from me to her | 07:29 |
| cbx33 | presumably after it has been reviewed by you | 07:30 |
| Burgundavia | ah | 07:30 |
| cbx33 | she is looking at it with another reviewer at the weekend | 07:30 |

| cbx33 | right.... | 07:35 |
| cbx33 | will you be making changes? | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | likely | 07:36 |
| Burgundavia | I am minorly opinionated and likely to find something I need to change :) | 07:36 |
| cbx33 | i'll have to pass them on straight to deb, as i doubt i'll get much time to fuklly look at them | 07:36 |
| cbx33 | heh.....you,.....never | 07:36 |

| cbx33 | ogra: have done some changes to tcm....there was a problem with Xsession.d and the scp-client script, resulting in the fact that I couldn't blank/unblank screens | 11:49 |
| === mpytasz [n=dduck@zipa2.fastnet.it] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| cbx33 | because scp couldn't contact the gnome-screensaver session | 11:49 |
| cbx33 | there was a bug about it on LP | 11:49 |
| cbx33 | or something very similar | 11:49 |
| cbx33 | after talking to the #gnome guys I have a fix | 11:49 |
| cbx33 | but you may not like it | 11:49 |
| cbx33 | check it out, it's in the bzr repo | 11:50 |
| cbx33 | i have also fixed up vnc | 11:50 |
| cbx33 | and it looks a lot prittier now | 11:50 |
| cbx33 | anyone know what device dm-1 is ? | 11:58 |
| cbx33 | I'm running a dapper livecd on a machine and getting I/O errors on dm-1 | 11:59 |

| cbx33 | yeh | 12:22 |
| cbx33 | it was dying for a while | 12:22 |
| ogra | cbx33, i saw the bug, i will check it if i have the time ... (next week) i suspect the scp client isnt started with the users rights | 12:44 |

| cbx33 | ogra: oh ok....i have a workaround in the bzr branch that works | 12:55 |
| cbx33 | but I'm guessing you won't like it :p | 12:56 |
| ogra | what did you do ? | 12:56 |
| cbx33 | well... | 12:57 |
| cbx33 | i was advised a solution to it was this | 12:57 |
| cbx33 | move the scp script to place 74 | 12:57 |
| cbx33 | just before dbus is run | 12:57 |
| cbx33 | and get it to modufy $STARTUP so that it calls a new script | 12:57 |
| cbx33 | this new script calls scp-client | 12:57 |
| cbx33 | and then runs what would havebeen run at $STARTUP | 12:58 |
| cbx33 | twas a way of doing it only adding new files :p | 12:59 |
| ogra | thats indeed very very ugly | 01:01 |
| cbx33 | i know | 01:01 |
| cbx33 | but it least it confirmed wha tthe problem was | 01:01 |
| cbx33 | remember I'm still learning :p | 01:02 |

| LaserJock | pscheie: I believe so | 08:24 |
| LaserJock | pscheie: do you mean like Main Universe, etc. | 08:25 |
| LaserJock | pscheie: or like 3rd party repo stuff | 08:25 |
| pscheie | I noticed that Kgeography is missing from my edgy install | 08:28 |
| pscheie | it' supposed to be a part of kde edu | 08:28 |
| pscheie | but I just installed it by hand | 08:28 |
| pscheie | can't rememeber if I used apt-get or the GUI | 08:28 |
| pscheie | now I'm trying to build a customized edubuntu livecd | 08:29 |
| pscheie | I've got the file system from the cd copied to disk, and I've chrooted to that directory | 08:30 |
| pscheie | but when I do 'apt-get install kgeography', it says no such package found | 08:30 |
| pscheie | but I know it's available somewhere because I just installed it a few days ago | 08:30 |
| pscheie | so I'm curious as to which repo it was in | 08:31 |
| cliebow_ | must be part of kde-edu? | 08:31 |
| pscheie | right, but kde-edu is already installed, right? | 08:31 |
| LaserJock | it is a part of kde-edu | 08:31 |
| cliebow_ | err.sorry..i just stomped in | 08:31 |
| LaserJock | but it's in the Universe repo | 08:31 |
| LaserJock | pscheie: I ran apt-cache madison kgeography | 08:31 |
| lns | Hey - just a note, not really edubuntu/ltsp specific, but I just found this out. You guys probably already know - a " .hidden " file in any directory containing a list of files/subdirs will hide them from nautilus. Good for hiding /bin, /etc, and others from the root dir. w00t! | 08:32 |
| LaserJock | and I get this for fiesty: | 08:32 |
| LaserJock | kgeography | 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1 | http://photon feisty/universe Packages kdeedu | 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1 | http://photon feisty/main Sources | 08:32 |
| cliebow_ | lns:Cool | 08:32 |
| LaserJock | lns: yes, that is an interesting trick. Hard to do by default though as people get mad ;-) | 08:33 |
| LaserJock | Kubuntu tried it once, I believe | 08:33 |
| lns | LaserJock, totally. Not something to do by default | 08:33 |
| lns | but good for taking some things out for students to work easier | 08:33 |
| LaserJock | yes | 08:34 |
| lns | unfortunately it doesn't hide them from things like open/save dialogues | 08:34 |
| lns | :( | 08:34 |
| cliebow_ | lns..theres a lot of tweaks too to eliminate navigating up thru your homedir to / | 08:34 |
| LaserJock | really? | 08:34 |

| lns_afk | just little stuff that crashed, like parts of the config window..maybe it was specific to me but i dunno | 08:58 |
| cliebow_ | not sure..ive been using it in production four years now | 08:59 |
| pscheie | LaserJock: Universe was commented out in sources.list | 09:07 |
| pscheie | so I uncommented it, ran 'apt-get update', and then tried 'apt-get install kgeography' again | 09:08 |
| pscheie | but it still says 'Couldn't find package kgeography | 09:08 |

| SnrWhippy | anybody using edubuntu here? | 09:59 |
| SnrWhippy | trying to avoid using windows at all see if its possible | 10:00 |
| LaserJock | hmm, I'm presently sitting at an OS X machine, ssh'd into a couple of Ubuntu boxes | 10:00 |
| === cbx33 is using Ubuntu | ||
| cbx33 | but i have an edubuntu vm on standby | 10:01 |
| cbx33 | for development | 10:01 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah its been pretty good so far | 10:01 |
| SnrWhippy | had a bit of a fiddle getting wireless to use WPA-PSK with tkip | 10:02 |
| SnrWhippy | didnt just work thats for sure | 10:02 |
| === lns has an edubuntu install w/12 clients and an ubuntu/LTSP implementation with 30 (future) clients | ||
| SnrWhippy | excellent yeah it would be interesting if any schools use it already anywhere | 10:02 |
| lns | SnrWhippy, tons!! | 10:02 |
| SnrWhippy | where you from lns | 10:03 |
| lns | Northern California | 10:03 |
| LaserJock | lns: where? | 10:03 |
| lns | LaserJock, isn't there a webpage that shows all (recorded) installations around the world somewhere? | 10:04 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah most of the schools over here in the uk are victims of microsoft | 10:04 |
| LaserJock | hmm, perhaps | 10:04 |
| LaserJock | lns: I live in Reno, NV | 10:04 |
| SnrWhippy | hey that sounds good | 10:04 |
| lns | SnrWhippy, most people everywhere are victims of M$...but that is changing, for sure | 10:04 |
| lns | LaserJock, hey throw a quarter in a slot for me will ya? ;) | 10:04 |
| SnrWhippy | i'm lost on the country specific gag there | 10:05 |
| lns | SnrWhippy, Reno = big gambling city | 10:05 |
| SnrWhippy | lots of money there then | 10:06 |
| === nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/nixternal] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| lns | Here's a page that shows installs... I highly doubt this is anywhere near realistic in terms of number of installs, just people who care to say they installed it | 10:07 |
| lns | https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallations | 10:07 |
| lns | I haven't even put mine in there yet | 10:07 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah would be good if it did it by default | 10:08 |
| SnrWhippy | tell you what the best tool is ever is that vmware converter prog | 10:08 |
| SnrWhippy | anyone used it | 10:08 |
| lns | vmware converter? | 10:09 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah its amazing i've been waiting for it for ages physical to virtual | 10:09 |
| cbx33 | eh? | 10:09 |
| cbx33 | converter? | 10:09 |
| lns | SnrWhippy, do you just mean vmware? | 10:10 |
| lns | virtualization environment? | 10:10 |
| SnrWhippy | i was at work and for a laugh stole my workmates system from under his nose | 10:12 |
| SnrWhippy | ported into a virtual machine | 10:12 |
| SnrWhippy | going to try it on our servers | 10:12 |
| SnrWhippy | i think i just love free stuff | 10:12 |
| lns | SnrWhippy, I'm about to embark on virtualizing Windows Server 2k3 in vmware on top of our ubuntu LTSP server | 10:13 |
| lns | what would be slick, is that the server has 2 NICs and I'd want to utilize the second one for the VM | 10:14 |
| SnrWhippy | i better go need some milk from the shops at its nearly 10pm over here. | 10:15 |
| SnrWhippy | byeee thanks for link lns i've bookmarked it | 10:15 |
| cbx33 | SnrWhippy, keen to learn how you did that | 10:17 |
| cbx33 | would be useful | 10:18 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah get it downloaded | 10:19 |
| SnrWhippy | its amazing | 10:19 |
| SnrWhippy | it can take a running remote physical machine and turn it into a virtual image *.vmdk and *.vmx ready for running with vmware workstation or player | 10:19 |
| SnrWhippy | while someone is using it | 10:19 |
| cbx33 | what's it called | 10:19 |
| cbx33 | does it need installing on their machine? | 10:19 |
| lns | SnrWhippy, no prob! | 10:20 |
| cbx33 | i could use that at work | 10:20 |
| cbx33 | need to do somthing like that | 10:20 |
| cbx33 | SnrWhippy, proejct name would be great | 10:21 |
| lns | wow, that sounds pretty damn cool! | 10:21 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah vmware converter | 10:22 |
| SnrWhippy | its only recent they released the converter for free | 10:22 |
| SnrWhippy | anyway milk | 10:22 |
| SnrWhippy | byeee | 10:22 |
| lns | I love vmware! =) | 10:31 |
| lns | bye SnrWhippy! | 10:31 |
| lns | thx for the info | 10:31 |
| SnrWhippy | im back and i have milk! sounds good lns let me know how it goes | 10:32 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah i dont see why that would be a prob | 10:32 |
| lns | np SnrWhippy | 10:33 |
| SnrWhippy | hey i like this ntfs-3g thing too | 10:36 |
| SnrWhippy | for mounting ntfs partitions in ubuntu | 10:36 |
| SnrWhippy | useful | 10:36 |
| SnrWhippy | what do people use for video on ubuntu is it vlc or does anything top vlc? | 10:37 |
| Spec | vlc :) | 10:37 |
| lns | I really like xine | 10:37 |
| lns | totem works well too, kinda bulky thou | 10:37 |
| cbx33 | vlc is nice | 10:37 |
| cbx33 | mplayer too | 10:37 |
| cbx33 | SnrWhippy, surely that volume copying takes foreve? | 10:37 |
| cbx33 | on the converter? | 10:38 |
| SnrWhippy | for the converter its actually not that bad | 10:38 |
| cbx33 | and you must have to have the same storage on the VMWare server | 10:38 |
| cbx33 | than you do in the machine you are colning | 10:38 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah but only of used space | 10:38 |
| cbx33 | reallY? | 10:38 |
| cbx33 | does it dynamically grow the hdd then? | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | that's freakin awesome | 10:39 |
| SnrWhippy | yep | 10:39 |
| cbx33 | sooo | 10:39 |
| SnrWhippy | vmware is always awesome | 10:39 |
| SnrWhippy | whats this project name thing you want? | 10:40 |
| SnrWhippy | strange i got loads of messages at once | 10:40 |
| SnrWhippy | wish i could type faster might have to keep going on Ktouch | 10:41 |
| cbx33 | when it says the converter server intalls the agent on the client machine | 10:41 |
| cbx33 | what kind of authentication does it need to do that? | 10:42 |
| cbx33 | MS login credentials? | 10:42 |
| cbx33 | dose it handle network drives ok too? | 10:42 |
| SnrWhippy | lns you mentioned totem works well it didnt seem to have any codecs am i missing something off does it need something back end? | 10:44 |
| lns | SnrWhippy, you need to install whatever video codecs your video requires | 10:44 |
| lns | depending on what kind of vid it is, you might have to go 'illegal' and download some windows codecs | 10:45 |
| lns | try googling for /usr/lib/win32 | 10:45 |
| lns | something about that rings a bell | 10:45 |
| SnrWhippy | i think i am killing my connection with some transfers in the background | 10:47 |

| LaserJock | yes | 11:46 |
| opapo | thank you | 11:47 |
| LaserJock | edubuntu has the same repositories as ubuntu | 11:47 |
| opapo | Is pessulus easy to use? | 11:47 |
| opapo | Thank you for your help | 11:48 |
| LaserJock | opapo: I haven't tried pessulus in particular | 11:49 |
| LaserJock | opapo: I think it should be pretty easy | 11:49 |
| LaserJock | I've worked with pessulus's big brother sabayon | 11:49 |
| opapo | is sabayon easy? | 11:52 |
| LaserJock | I thought it was | 11:52 |
| LaserJock | sabayon does a lot more | 11:52 |
| LaserJock | it's more than just locking down gnome preferences | 11:52 |
| LaserJock | so it sort of depends on how much "locking down" you want to do | 11:53 |

| opapo | LaserJock: I want students to use Firefox and OpenOffice and that's it | 12:02 |
| lns | LaserJock, how stable is Sabayon? | 12:03 |
| lns | could you see using it in a 100+ node environment? | 12:03 |
| LaserJock | depends on how you define stable I guess | 12:03 |
| lns | =p | 12:03 |
| LaserJock | I know people who've deployed it at a uni with 500+ machines | 12:04 |
| LaserJock | opapo: hmm, and you *just* want to change the menus? | 12:04 |
| lns | LaserJock, nice. Have you heard about any bugs/things to look out for/things it doesn't cover? | 12:05 |
| opapo | LaserJock: They can have icons on the desktop that they click on and everything else can be locked down so they can't do any thing else | 12:05 |
| opapo | that's what I want to happen | 12:05 |
| LaserJock | well, I'm sure there are bugs (there always are) | 12:06 |
| LaserJock | and the development has basically stopped | 12:06 |
| LaserJock | but I think it does a fair amount | 12:06 |
| opapo | scary | 12:06 |
| lns | hmm...so maybe better using gconf-editor then | 12:06 |
| cliebow | opapo: using icewm you can give buttons for only oo and ff | 12:06 |
| LaserJock | lns: well, sabayon is a profile editor | 12:06 |
| lns | orphaned OSS projects make baby Jesus cry :( | 12:06 |
| cliebow | add a locked down nautilus on top if you want deskto p icons | 12:07 |
| LaserJock | lns: it's not quite so much orphaned, just Red Hat was paying for the development and they moved their people to a different project | 12:07 |
| opapo | LaserJock: is pessulus kept up-to-date? | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | yes | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | opapo: I'd try pessulus first | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | see if it'll do what you want | 12:08 |
| opapo | thanks | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | I'm not quite sure if it will or not | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | if it doesn't I'd try sabayon | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | they are pretty easy to try out | 12:08 |
| LaserJock | so it wouldn't be much of an investment to just try them and see | 12:09 |
| LaserJock | but pessulus is actively developed and light | 12:09 |
| LaserJock | so it'd be the first choice I think | 12:09 |
| opapo | I like that it is actively developed | 12:09 |
| LaserJock | well, sabayon is getting a new developer | 12:10 |
| LaserJock | it's not like it's really old and rotten | 12:10 |
| LaserJock | but it isn't really active | 12:11 |
| opapo | I like active projects | 12:11 |
