[12:31] <kris> hello everybody
[12:31] <kris> hi for LaserJock and nixternal
[12:32] <kris> can you tell me how to check available memory on hdd in edubuntu?
[12:34] <LaserJock> df -h ?
[12:35] <kris> oh you are here
[12:37] <kris> ok thank you very much
[01:22] <kris> how to install locale spell checking in thunderbird ?
[01:23] <LaserJock> do you have the language pack for that language?
[01:29] <kris> yes if it is xpi extension file
[01:31] <LaserJock> no, you should get it from Ubuntu
[01:32] <kris> thunderbird-locale-pl installed
[02:19] <sbalneav> ogra!
[02:19] <ajmitch> heh
[02:20] <ajmitch> sbalneav! ;)
[02:20] <sbalneav> ajmitch! :)
[02:20] <ajmitch> what's up?
[02:23] <LaserJock> hi sbalneav
[02:25] <sbalneav> Sitting here testing Edubuntu
[02:26] <ajmitch> fun
[02:26] <sbalneav> rythmbox with built in Jamendo support is going to be a BIG timewaster for me, I can see.
[02:28] <sbalneav> I should get off my butt one of these days, and finish off a project I started years ago.
[02:28] <ajmitch> heh
[02:28] <sbalneav> I basically started a modern distributed auth backend, using postgresql
[02:29] <sbalneav> A sql database is ONE HECK of a lot easier to deal with than ldap.
[02:31] <ajmitch> yes, but why?
[02:31] <ajmitch> ldap is nice & standardised
[02:31] <ajmitch> :)
[02:32] <ajmitch> plus it's lots of fun
[02:32] <sbalneav> Tell me, to add a new user, which would you rather do: the whole ldap thing, or "insert into passwd values("sbalneav", "/home/sbalneav", "Scott Balneaves"....)
[02:33] <ajmitch> the whole ldap thing
[02:33] <sbalneav> I use ldap all the time, but it's cumbersome, and with the exception of gq, there's no really good frontend.
[02:33] <ajmitch> since I'd use some tool to do it
[02:33] <sbalneav> Yeah, which tool?
[02:33] <ajmitch> you've tried various ones like lat, luma, ldap-account-manager, phpldapadmin, cpu?
[02:34] <ajmitch> cpu is a nice commandline tool, fwiw
[02:34] <sbalneav> Yep, don't like 'em.
[02:34] <ajmitch> what's so bad about them?
[02:34] <sbalneav> But, hey, that's just me.  Like I say, ldap's out there and we deal with it.
[02:34] <sbalneav> For where I am, though, dealing with it as a database would be much easier.
[02:34] <ajmitch> bah, you're just different :)
[02:37] <ajmitch> but I don't know if I'd have time, etc
[05:50] <Bhaskar> goodmorning all, i want to know lts is built in or not in edubuntu

[06:01] <Burgundavia> yes
[06:02] <Bhaskar> Burgundavia, how it is ? what is different than Ubuntu 6.06 or 6.10
[06:02] <Burgundavia> it works well
[06:02] <Burgundavia> 6.06 is supported for a longer period than 6.10
[06:03] <Bhaskar> Burgundavia, in school edubuntu plays vital role?
[06:03] <Burgundavia> I don't work in a school
[06:03] <Bhaskar> Burgundavia, ya
[06:04] <Bhaskar> Burgundavia, for student what are the package in edubuntu?
[06:05] <sbalneav> gcompris, kmath, tuxpaint, etc.
[06:06] <sbalneav> Theres a lot of educational content for younger kids, and older ones too.
[06:06] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, have u found edubuntu  is effective ?
[06:07] <sbalneav> For the school that I helped out, yes.
[06:07] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, for schools?
[06:07] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, in 6.06 LTSP is buit in so we can interconnect thin client for economical
[06:08] <sbalneav> Yes, but the one in 6.10 is much better
[06:08] <sbalneav> An the soon to be released 7.04 is even more improved.
[06:08] <sbalneav> That will come out in April
[06:08] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, 6.10 Edubuntu?
[06:09] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, in 6.10 edubuntu thin client support or not?
[06:09] <sbalneav> Yes, there is thin client support in 6.10
[06:12] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, in urs view, edubuntu liked by student?
[06:12] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, i mean it is better solution in schools?
[06:12] <sbalneav> The one's I've seen seem to like it, and my own kids like it.
[06:13] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, well
[06:13] <sbalneav> As for whether it's a better solution, why not try it and see.
[06:13] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, i want to deploy it in schools in Nepal
[06:13] <sbalneav> It won't cost you anything :)
[06:14] <Bhaskar> sbalneav, ya

[11:50] <ogra> ugh, where is the rest ?
[11:51] <RichEd> I'll need to track it down today ... our Virgin Nigeria flight was 4 hours late ... so we were rushed through to our connecting flight back to SA (30 people) without luggage.
[11:52] <RichEd> We had a choice of wait for luggage, and spend the weekend in Lagos airport, or fly home now, luggage later.
[11:52] <RichEd> I took option 2 :)
[11:52] <ogra> heh
[11:53] <juliux> hey RichEd
[11:53] <juliux> hi ogra
[11:54] <RichEd> hi juliux

[11:57] <ogra> so i dont know the exact status :) have to ask ... beta kept me out of such stuff
[11:57] <juliux> i talked on cebit with several people who want to use edubuntu in germany on schools

[02:38] <cliebow_> any way around scrollkeeper error Entity "irc-server" not defined?
[04:00] <bddebian> Heya

[04:47] <sbalneav> Did more testing on the weekend, installed edubuntu on my laptop
[04:47] <sbalneav> For some reason the restricted modules didn't get installed by default
[04:48] <ogra> you didnt use the latest iso :P
[04:48] <sbalneav> I used the beta one, true.
[04:48] <sbalneav> Was that a known bug?
[04:48] <highvoltage> sbalneav: did you see the edubuntu screenshot on the playstation?
[04:48] <sbalneav> Other than that, it went slick
[04:48] <sbalneav> No?
[04:48] <sbalneav> Playstation 2?
[04:49] <sbalneav> As well, what's the recommended way to load the second cd?
[04:50] <ogra> thats edubuntu booting on an xbox360 :) http://mydedibox.homelinux.com/downloads/x360/ubuntu_360.avi
[04:51] <sbalneav> Finally!  A use for a Microsoft product!

[09:47] <Petaris> Hello all
[09:48] <Petaris> my ethernet cards/ports have disappeared, is there anyway to get the system to probe for them?
[09:48] <Petaris> I know they are working fine because I booted a xubuntu live cd and they were there and working
[09:49] <Petaris> this is occuring on dapper
[09:50] <Petaris> all network-admin shows is ethernet 3, 4, and 5
[09:50] <Petaris> all non-configured
[09:51] <Petaris> I should mention that I had to swap out this motherboard, it only has three ethernet interfaces on it
[09:51] <Petaris> Is there a way I can get it to call them eth0, 1, 2 again?
[09:53] <sbalneav> Petaris: check in /etc/iftab
[09:54] <sbalneav> You'll have to update the mac addresses of all the interfaces with their respective eth[x]  designations
[09:54] <Petaris> hrm
[09:55] <Petaris> is there a way to see their mac addresses?
[09:55] <Petaris> ifconfig won't show them
[09:57] <Petaris> nevermind, I just had to "activate them to get the mac
[09:58] <Petaris> sbalneav: Thanks for your help
[09:59] <cliebow_> !j
