| tidrion | okay, scream no | 06:04 |
| tidrion | but you know what I mean | 06:04 |
| tidrion | does ubuntu not support wpa or am I just an idiot and no linux does | 06:05 |
| bonbonthejon | tidrion: there is a package, like wpa_suppliant, or something | 06:07 |

| highvoltage | chin1: are you running LTSP? | 03:57 |
| highvoltage | chin1: if so, you can just install the software on the server | 03:58 |

| sbalneav | They won't get the tray icon unless they're a member of the admin group | 04:13 |

Stopped using it and now doesn't support LTSP clients for some reason. Built new system just for Edubuntu Server default install with single nic dhcpd3 has been romoved. Now when booting the TC will start to boot off of Edubuntu Server and then go to the main machine. If I take the main | 07:08 |
| jgedeon | machine off the network then a buzybox error displayed. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off | 07:08 |
| LaserJock | but I think we can just rely on the Ubuntu docs for that | 07:08 |

| cbx33 | LaserJock, | 07:28 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: we need an update to the edubuntu docs for scp -> tcm | 07:28 |
| cbx33 | i thought i sent that through yonks ago | 07:29 |
| LaserJock | cbx33: to where? | 07:29 |
| cbx33 | well obviously I didn't | 07:29 |
| LaserJock | well, that's not exactly obvious | 07:30 |
| ogra | i thought you included that in the tcm package | 07:30 |
| Burgwork | yay! work gave me a Windows Vista laptop to admin | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | I've been chasing down various "things that should be there but seem to have gotten lost" | 07:30 |
| Burgwork | I am so please | 07:30 |
| Burgwork | d | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | Burgwork: can you dual-boot it? | 07:30 |
| Burgwork | I plan to | 07:30 |
| LaserJock | ogra: we aren't shipping blender anymore are we? | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | it's in Universe | 07:31 |
| Burgwork | and I also plan to not grant any users admin rights | 07:31 |
| ogra | nope | 07:31 |
| cbx33 | nope | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | ogra: so that takes out the photoshop reference ;-) | 07:31 |
| ogra | Burgwork, bah, lamer, do a single boot of edubuntu | 07:31 |
| cbx33 | why? | 07:31 |
| cbx33 | photoshop != blender | 07:31 |
| ogra | LaserJock, nope, thats in the gimp section | 07:31 |
| Burgwork | ogra: sadly, I have been told "the sales guys need a windows laptop for the road" | 07:31 |
| LaserJock | ogra: you sure? | 07:32 |
| LaserJock | bah | 07:32 |
| ogra | LaserJock, pretty, yes | 07:32 |
| LaserJock | I guess I shouldn't be doing this via grep | 07:32 |
| ogra | Burgwork, bah, just tell him its vista | 07:32 |
| Burgwork | heh | 07:32 |
| ogra | i bet he has never seen it before | 07:32 |
| cbx33 | heeh | 07:32 |
| Burgwork | lol | 07:32 |
| cbx33 | vista does look rather different | 07:32 |
| cbx33 | in some places | 07:32 |

| LaserJock | so.... | 07:37 |
| LaserJock | how do we talk about MS Office without saying MS Office | 07:37 |
| cbx33 | proprietary office suites | 07:37 |
| ogra | yeah | 07:38 |
| cbx33 | commerical office suites | 07:38 |
| LaserJock | ogra: are you doing any of these edits? | 07:38 |
| LaserJock | ogra: I've got it open so I can do it here | 07:39 |
| ogra | i wouldnt even know how :) | 07:39 |
| LaserJock | hehe, blame it on ignorance ;-) | 07:40 |
| cbx33 | hahaha | 07:40 |
| ogra | i'm the all time proof reader | 07:40 |
| LaserJock | OpenOffice.org is a complete office suite similar to other, commercial, | 07:42 |
| LaserJock | office suite. | 07:42 |
| cbx33 | +s | 07:42 |
| ogra | yeah | 07:42 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 07:42 |
| cbx33 | no comma after commercial | 07:42 |
| LaserJock | OpenOffice.org can open and convert most documents from the other commerical office suite | 07:43 |
| LaserJock | should I use plural again there? | 07:43 |
| cbx33 | drop the "the" | 07:43 |
| cbx33 | from other commercial office suites | 07:43 |
| LaserJock | can it open Word Perfect files, for instance? | 07:43 |
| ogra | well, you dont say how these dcs have to be saved :) | 07:44 |
| ogra | *docs | 07:44 |
| LaserJock | ah | 07:44 |
| ogra | even gedit can open rtf ;) | 07:44 |
| LaserJock | the power of being extremely vague | 07:44 |
| cbx33 | indeed | 07:45 |
| cbx33 | if M$ can get away with it by saying every next version of their os is "better" in the install procedure | 07:45 |
| cbx33 | so can we ;) | 07:45 |
| LaserJock | ok, what about Photoshop? | 07:45 |
| LaserJock | commercial image editor? | 07:46 |
| ogra | Image editing similar to Adobe Photoshop is done using the | 07:46 |
| ogra | GIMP. Scribus provides layout and publishing capabilites similar to Adobe | 07:46 |
| ogra | Illustrator. | 07:46 |
| ogra | and commercial vector editors | 07:46 |
| cbx33 | hmm | 07:46 |
| cbx33 | what about commercial desktop publishing software | 07:47 |
| ogra | Image editing similar to other professional photo editors is done usong the gimp | 07:47 |
| ogra | *using the GIMP | 07:47 |
| stormchas3r | Does the install usually hang at 85% for you guys with feisty beta? | 07:47 |
| ogra | Scribus provides layout and desktop publiching capabilities. | 07:48 |
| ogra | *publishing | 07:48 |
| ogra | stormchas3r, not for me, no ... | 07:48 |
| stormchas3r | hmmmm | 07:48 |
| ogra | i tested all server and desktop isos ... not the dvd though | 07:48 |
| stormchas3r | ya, its hanging at 85% br1tty-x11 for me | 07:49 |
| ogra | server or desktop ? | 07:49 |
| stormchas3r | classroom server | 07:49 |
| ogra | hmm, didnt have any probs here ... i did several installs esecially of the server i386 iso | 07:50 |
| LaserJock | ogra: so drop Illustrator altogether? | 07:50 |
| ogra | yeah | 07:50 |
| cbx33 | yes | 07:50 |
| ogra | or add quark, pagemaker, freehand ... etc | 07:50 |
| ogra | :P | 07:50 |
| stormchas3r | maybe ill just let it sit there and hope that it finishes | 07:50 |
| ogra | stgraber, check on console 4 what its doing | 07:51 |
| LaserJock | ok, one more file to fix | 07:52 |
| LaserJock | introduction.xml | 07:52 |
| LaserJock | Most educational computer networks are a mixture of Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X and Linux systems. | 07:52 |
| cbx33 | mixture of commercial operating systems | 07:53 |
| cbx33 | and linux system | 07:53 |
| ogra | Most educational computer networks are heterogenous networks consisting of various operating systems. | 07:54 |
| LaserJock | ok, so the only Microsoft reference left is: | 07:56 |
| LaserJock | X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL = "Microsoft" | 07:56 |
| LaserJock | in server.xml | 07:56 |
| LaserJock | I think that's ok isn't it? | 07:57 |
| ogra | well, that should be microsoft, but yes thats ok | 08:02 |
| ogra | ps2 is pointless, its autodetected | 08:03 |
| ogra | actually there should be the example file in there we ship in ltsp rather | 08:03 |

| cliebow__ | good exercise if nothing else | 09:51 |

| sbalneav | Ask the question, and if someone knows, they'll answer :) | 09:52 |

| sbalneav | You might want to check thay out. | 09:54 |
| SnrWhippy | yeah i looked at that but it never really explained the process of getting them to work | 09:54 |
| SnrWhippy | do you just download an app and run it by typing wine setup.exe in terminal? | 09:55 |
| SnrWhippy | and keep your fingers crossed | 09:55 |

| pips1 | ogra: just want to run a couple of quick questions of issues I ran into testing 7.04 beta by you... | 11:21 |
| pips1 | small issues I noticed (tell me if you *aren't* aware of these) | 11:22 |
| pips1 | GDM Options: icons missing | 11:23 |
| pips1 | Update-manager: Visible Carriage Returns in German localisation | 11:23 |
| pips1 | Gcompris: crash after clicking 'Start TuxPaint' | 11:23 |
| ogra | hmm | 11:28 |
| ogra | thats odd, indeed tucpaint isnt installed by default anymore since the switch to the addon CD | 11:28 |
| pips1 | right | 11:29 |
| pips1 | but I have installed tuxpaint from the add-on cd... | 11:30 |
| ogra | gdm is known, i'm wroing on it | 11:30 |
| === pips1 checks again | ||
| ogra | u-m is worth a bug if there isnt one already | 11:30 |
| ogra | but given that mvo is german i guess he will see it in time for release :) | 11:30 |
| ogra | gcompris needs deeper lookin at ... can you file a bug for that ? | 11:30 |
| pips1 | ok | 11:31 |
| pips1 | erm, is tuxpaint available on the add-on cd at all? | 11:31 |
| === ogra was so happy it works all out of the box in ltsp now .,.. including sound ... | ||
| === pips1 pops the add-on cd in | ||
| ogra | yes | 11:31 |
| ogra | all the tux* stuff | 11:31 |
| ogra | paint/math/tape should be on there | 11:32 |
| ogra | *type | 11:32 |
| ogra | god i'm to tired to type today | 11:32 |
| pips1 | I got math & type | 11:32 |
| ogra | hmm, i'll check that ... | 11:32 |
| === ogra makes a note | ||
| pips1 | I can't find tuxpaint | 11:32 |
| ogra | probably the .desktop file is missing ... | 11:32 |
| ogra | i will check before herd6 | 11:33 |
| ogra | these four are all your complaints ? | 11:34 |
| pips1 | If I search for it in the add software launched from the add-on, it doesn't show up | 11:34 |
| ogra | yeah thats happening if the .desktop file is missing ... | 11:34 |
| ogra | as i said i'll look at it | 11:34 |
| pips1 | well, my real problem is that I can't get the thin client to work | 11:34 |
| pips1 | my testing has only been on the server itself so far, the thin client fails at the initial dhcp stage | 11:35 |
| pips1 | I guess it's a problem with my local network setup | 11:35 |
| ogra | did you check the cdhcp settings and the static interace etc ? | 11:35 |
| ogra | and did you switch off dhcp on your router etc ... you know the drill | 11:36 |

| LaserJock | is the tuxpaint think related to bug #32252 | 11:36 |
| ubotu | Malone bug 32252 in tuxpaint "Installs two desktop launchers in different sections" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/32252 | 11:36 |
| pips1 | shouldn't I be able to simply plug in my "internet network" on one interface (with a running dhcp server from the dsl modem/router dishing out an ip for the edubuntu server), and have a separate thin client network on the other NIC ? | 11:37 |
| pips1 | ahhh | 11:37 |
| pips1 | so I *do* need to switch off dhcp... | 11:38 |
| ogra | no not if you have a two nic setup | 11:38 |
| pips1 | sorry, I thought that it all worked automagically now | 11:38 |
| ogra | i didnt know you updated your LAN :) | 11:38 |
| ogra | it does | 11:38 |
| ogra | but network-manager breaks things | 11:38 |
| pips1 | huh? how? | 11:39 |
| ogra | check if it works if you never logged in on the server | 11:39 |
| pips1 | h | 11:39 |
| ogra | then your client should work properly | 11:39 |
| ogra | as soon as you logged in and NM started it will mess up your network | 11:39 |
| ogra | its a known bug in progress atm | 11:39 |
| LaserJock | hmm, tuxpaint doesn't install a .desktop to /usr/share/applications/ at all | 11:40 |
| pips1 | is network-manager that avahi thing for zeroconf, or whatnot? | 11:40 |
| ogra | no | 11:40 |
| pips1 | duh | 11:40 |
| ogra | avahi is something else | 11:40 |
| ogra | NM manages your network devices | 11:40 |
| ogra | due to a bug it manages all of them atm | 11:40 |
| ogra | but its only allowing one at a time to be up | 11:41 |
| pips1 | ah, ok, ic | 11:41 |
| LaserJock | ogra: mind if I fix up tuxpaint? | 11:41 |
| pips1 | so at the moment, I need to install and *not* log onto the server and then it migh work | 11:41 |
| pips1 | *might | 11:41 |
| ogra | right | 11:44 |
| ogra | NM is started in your gnome session | 11:44 |
| ogra | as long as gnome doesnt run it doesnt want to manage anyting | 11:44 |
| pips1 | from what you just told me about the know bug with network-manager, I assume it is that issue which is causing the error message that pops up on the desktop, telling me that "Network service discovery is disabled" | 11:45 |
| ogra | no, thats avahi | 11:45 |
| pips1 | ah, different thing | 11:45 |
| ogra | unrelated | 11:45 |
| pips1 | what's that then? | 11:45 |
| pips1 | "Your current network has a .local domain, which is not recommended and incompatible with the Avahi network service discovery. The service has been disabled." | 11:46 |
| ogra | what it says | 11:46 |
| ogra | it wont work in a network with .local domain | 11:47 |
| ogra | obvoiusly you have such a thing | 11:47 |
| pips1 | ?? | 11:48 |
| pips1 | not intentionally, not that I know of | 11:48 |
| ogra | anyway its no important | 11:48 |
| ogra | and i need sleep i'm working here since 8am | 11:49 |
| pips1 | yikes | 11:49 |
| LaserJock | ogra: if I fix up tuxpaint I'll send you a debdiff | 11:49 |
| pips1 | ok, last thing: should I file this bug for tuxpaint? (and against what package)? | 11:50 |
| ogra | LaserJock, i'm not sure its tuxpaints fault | 11:50 |
| LaserJock | ogra: tuxpaint installs it's .desktop to non-standard places | 11:50 |
| ogra | its likely the CD itself (app install data for it) | 11:50 |
| LaserJock | seems like that is the likely reason | 11:50 |
| ogra | ok | 11:50 |
| pips1 | oh, just to be clear on this issue: is tuxpaint actually a dependency of gcompris? | 11:51 |
| ogra | no | 11:51 |
| ogra | then it would be instaled | 11:51 |
| pips1 | it would seem so, since there is a "hardcoded" (?) button in the gcompris menu "start tuxpaint" | 11:51 |
| LaserJock | tuxpaint is a Suggests: | 11:51 |
| ogra | Suggests: gnuchess, gnucap, tuxpaint | 11:51 |
| ogra | pips1, thats why i said pleas file a bug | 11:52 |
| ogra | i'll care for it | 11:52 |
| LaserJock | I would think it would be Recommends: | 11:52 |
| pips1 | 0k, what should I file it against, so you will find it | 11:52 |
| ogra | gcompris | 11:52 |
| pips1 | ok | 11:52 |
| ogra | indeed | 11:52 |
| pips1 | duh | 11:52 |

| pips1 | I just noticed that when I click on the gnuchess button, I get an error message (slightly better than crashing) ;-) | 11:53 |
| LaserJock | ogra: good night | 11:53 |
