[04:16] <crazy_bus> where can I find more information on feisty fawn edubuntu.  I remember reading that it had xfce as well as gnome.  Do you choose when you install.  Or do you install gnome and them xfce from the second cd
[06:20] <Laser_away> crazy_bus: I'm not really sure. I think it's afterward
[09:08] <juliux> morning
[09:11] <juliux> !seen RichEd
[09:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen riched - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:59] <mips> what do you call it when you use one pc to serve multiple users with extra keyboards & monitors attached ?
[01:00] <cliebow_> like multihead?
[01:01] <mips> yes. one pc serves say two-three users
[01:01] <mips> but they have their own login names etc
[01:02] <mips> Multiseat is what it is called http://cs.senecac.on.ca/~ctyler/ruby/
[02:05] <mgallagh> is it recommendable to install the edubunt packages on top of feisty?
[02:05] <mgallagh> *edubuntu
[03:29] <bddebian> Heya
[04:12] <sbalneav> Morning all
[04:13] <juliux> morning sbalneav
[11:25] <ijwyn> a friend recently switched to linux and installed edubuntu, but I'm not familiar with it myself (I'm on Mandriva)...
[11:26] <ijwyn> I wanted to send him an rpm package, but it's telling him the archive type is unsupported, is this final or is there a way for him to install urpmi?
[11:27] <LaserJock> ijwyn: is it just 1 rpm?
[11:28] <LaserJock> ijwyn: and is it an app that might be in Edubuntu repositories?
[11:28] <ijwyn> it's just 1 and no it wouldn't be
[11:29] <ijwyn> but it's platform independent, so it should install fine if he can get the rpm to work
[11:29] <ijwyn> (hopefully, lol)
[11:30] <LaserJock> ijwyn: he can install alien and convert it to a .deb
[11:30] <LaserJock> ijwyn: that would be the easiest way
[11:31] <ijwyn> hmm, he's pretty new to all this though so not sure if he'd know how to do that, lol
[11:34] <ijwyn> is there a French channel for edubuntu BTW? I'm talking him through the process to get on here, but he doesn't speak English, heh
[11:37] <LaserJock> I don't think we have a french one
[11:37] <LaserJock> ijwyn: if you give me the name of the rpm I'll give you the exact lines
[11:37] <ijwyn> ok, hang on
[11:39] <ijwyn> xldtn-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
[11:44] <LaserJock> ijwyn: this should work in a terminal:
[11:44] <LaserJock> sudo apt-get install alien
[11:44] <LaserJock> sudo alien -d xldtn-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
[11:44] <LaserJock> sudo dpkg -i xldtn_3.0.0-1_i386.rpm
[11:45] <LaserJock> I'm not sure *exactly* what the .deb name will be but I think that's right
[11:47] <ijwyn> ok cool, I'll give him the instructions, thanks :-)
[11:52] <ijwyn> d'abord tu ouvres un terminal -- tu sais faire ?
[11:53] <ijwyn> ack
[11:53] <ijwyn> wrong window, lol
[11:53] <ijwyn> sorry
[11:55] <LaserJock> I figured
[11:56] <ijwyn> heheh
[12:09] <ijwyn> he's getting chmod errors, probably need to change the permissions on the file... I have to shamefully admit though that I always do that through my file manager so I don't remember the shell command :-o
