| Megaqwerty | sholsinger: what is your problem? | 04:45 |
| sholsinger | um, i'm trying to install edubuntu on an older machine | 04:46 |
| sholsinger | and I am having difficulty finding an alternate install cd for the distro. | 04:46 |
| Megaqwerty | sholsinger: no problem, I'll take a look | 04:46 |
| sholsinger | is there a way to add an argument to make the live cd load in runlevel 3 and then have it install from the shell? | 04:47 |
| Megaqwerty | I haven't actually installed edubuntu or used an alternate cd before...sorry. If it's a problem with edubuntu itself, I could probably help as it's based on ubuntu which I have quite a bit of experience with. I am still looking for an alternate iso for you. | 04:49 |
| sholsinger | Yeah, I was surprised to see that there were none listed on any of the mirrors. | 04:49 |
| Megaqwerty | There doesn't seem to be one. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/ports/releases/feisty/release/ | 04:50 |
| sholsinger | are you running ubuntu now? | 04:50 |
| Megaqwerty | yeah | 04:50 |
| sholsinger | can you check the repos to see if there is an edubuntu-desktop package? | 04:50 |
| Megaqwerty | good idea | 04:51 |
| Megaqwerty | there is | 04:51 |
| sholsinger | okay, so I can use the ubuntu alternate install Cd and then use aptitude to install the edubuntu package? | 04:51 |
| Megaqwerty | that's just what I was about to say | 04:51 |
| sholsinger | well it looks like we're thinking on the same lines :) | 04:52 |
| Megaqwerty | indeed | 04:52 |
| sholsinger | Alright, thank you for your time. | 04:52 |
| Megaqwerty | and based on what I know from installing kubuntu-desktop, you should be able to select it from the sessions menu | 04:52 |
| sholsinger | I'm not familiar with that | 04:52 |
| Megaqwerty | it's in the Login screen | 04:52 |
| sholsinger | oh, I see. | 04:52 |
| Megaqwerty | Under...Options I think | 04:53 |
| sholsinger | Cool, well I'll give it a try and if it works, I shall blog about it. or post it in the docs. | 04:53 |
| sholsinger | or both. | 04:53 |
| Megaqwerty | Cool, good luck! | 04:53 |
| sholsinger | Thanks. | 04:53 |
| sholsinger | one last thing... | 04:54 |
| sholsinger | Do you know by chance where I can go to make a suggestion to the developers? | 04:54 |
| Megaqwerty | no, I wouldn't | 04:56 |
| sholsinger | ok, I think I may have found it | 04:56 |
| Megaqwerty | okay, good luck once again! | 04:56 |
| bimberi | sholsinger: the edubuntu-devel mailing list would be the place - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel | 05:01 |
| sholsinger | thank you bimberi :) | 05:02 |
| bimberi | sholsinger: yw :) | 05:02 |
| sholsinger | bimberi: how is it that your hostname is not like <IP_ADDRESS>.area.network.net or something of that nature? | 05:04 |
| bimberi | sholsinger: Freenode provide me with a cloak | 05:05 |
| bimberi | !cloak | sholsinger | 05:05 |
| ubotu | sholsinger: Tor & other common anonymizing proxies get abused to attack & spam Ubuntu channels, so they're blocked. Get a cloak from Freenode instead, and stop wasting your time with Tor: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 05:05 |
| sholsinger | bimberi: thx again :) | 05:06 |
| bimberi | sholsinger: yw again :) | 05:06 |
| sholsinger | the only difference between ubuntu and edubuntu is that it has extra learning-oriented packages installed, right? | 05:17 |
| Megaqwerty | and a different theme, I believe | 05:22 |
| Megaqwerty | Sorry, I thought I was done in here :-[ | 05:23 |
| Megaqwerty | I'm sure you can find all of the differences on www.edubuntu.com | 05:24 |
| Megaqwerty | (If you need future help, please use my nick in your message so that gaim will alert me to your question.) | 05:24 |
| sholsinger | Megaqwerty, I was really just aiming that question to anyone who was still awake in the channel :) | 05:27 |
| Megaqwerty | Ah, very well then. | 05:28 |

| sampbar | hi all | 08:28 |
| HedgeMage | hello | 08:28 |
| sampbar | basically ive come here to ask a couple of questions... | 08:31 |
| HedgeMage | go for it... I may be slow to respond, though... I'm working | 08:31 |
| sampbar | i have joint problems which inhibits my ability to use a pen/write in school so i use a laptop (phillips x53) im running ubuntu on my home laptop and XP on my school laptop. But XP is starting to get slow/clogged up now and i will have to reinstall during the summer so... | 08:32 |
| sampbar | (tell me if its cut off) | 08:32 |
| sampbar | i was wondering whether it would be worth trying edubuntu and whether it would be suitable for my needs (basically word processor, excel & graphics editor) and it needs to be a fast boot up | 08:33 |
| HedgeMage | sampbar: if you are worried about speed, I would try Xubuntu, then just add on any educational packages you need. | 08:34 |
| HedgeMage | the window manager in xubuntu (xfce) is much lighter/faster than Gnome (the default wm in Edubuntu and Ubuntu) | 08:35 |
| sampbar | yep ok | 08:35 |
| HedgeMage | Also, you can't run excel on Ubuntu, but you can run OpenOffice Calc, which does the same thing, and can even read/write excel files if needed. | 08:35 |
| sampbar | the other thing is, is there a 3d drawing thingy like google sketch up for ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| sampbar | (very technical terms i know lol) | 08:37 |
| === yoho [n=beachrec@198.23.33.65.cfl.res.rr.com] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| HedgeMage | I don't know what google sketch does, but there is a great 3d modeling app called blender | 08:40 |
| HedgeMage | blender was used to do some of the early work for Spider Man 2 for example | 08:41 |
| cmonkey | blender is more a match for 3dmax/Maya | 08:42 |
| sampbar | ok... basically sketchup you draw your item in 2d then it makes it easier to change it in to 3d | 08:42 |
| cmonkey | sketchup is more of an easy architecture tool | 08:42 |
| cmonkey | not sure of any linux alternatives | 08:42 |
| cmonkey | there are a lot of CAD apps, but they would be more in depth than a sketchup replacement | 08:42 |
| sampbar | its not essential... i can use my graphics tablet if need be | 08:43 |
| cmonkey | wings3d is a sort of easy 3d modelling tool, not really for architecture though, if that was what you wanted | 08:45 |
| === HedgeMage goes back to work | ||
| sampbar | its more for technical drawings in resistant materials (tech) | 08:47 |

| sampbar | hi | 10:08 |
| lns | Can anyone verify that the instructions for upgrading the chroot for Edubuntu Feisty (at https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuLTSPUpgradeNotes) is the same for Ubuntu? If not, can anyone throw me a link? I can't seem to find Ubuntu specific LTSP chroot upgrade instructions. | 10:08 |
| sampbar | bye all | 10:24 |
| anco | Hey all | 10:41 |
| anco | Is there anybody who can explain me the beneficial of downloading CD2 server addon cd | 10:42 |
| anco | I tried it. on edubuntu website there is only written that it's easy to install cd2 | 10:42 |
| anco | well if I put it in my edubuntuserver nothing happens | 10:43 |
| anco | If i look around in the cd the autostart.exe ???? .exe??? doesn't do anything | 10:43 |
| anco | if I try to set it as a source to install things with synaptic than it isn't clear to me what programs will come from the cd2 | 10:45 |
| anco | I can't figure out yet what cd2 has to offer me | 10:45 |
| anco | Normally I use synaptic to install whatever else I need from the internetdepots | 10:47 |
