[02:18] <jonathan_> Need some assistance w/ a LTSP setup and a cotent filter
[04:04] <wf_c0d3r> where can i get an edubuntu with correct md5 hashes? all of my downloads has an error
[04:30] <TJVV> hi all, I'm a linux neophyte, but am interested in setting up an edubuntu lab in a school in india
[04:31] <TJVV> I have booted the LiveCD, and I would like to know whether there are additional educational software resources available for other sources
[04:34] <TJVV> I would be interested to know if there is any software for settign up a language lab in edubuntu..
[04:36] <LaserJock> hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by a language lab
[04:41] <TJVV> an outdated(?) wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_lab
[04:42] <TJVV> I have had people approach the school with packaged solutions costing ~$9000, which is kind of high, from what I have seen of their software
[04:48] <LaserJock> hmm, I'm not aware of any such software specifically for setting up a language lab
[04:56] <LaserJock> I wonder if it would be too much strain for a LTSP setup
[04:57] <LaserJock> if it could do it it would probably be pretty cool
[07:37] <LaserJock> ogra: morning
[07:37] <highvoltage> morning LaserJock
[07:38] <LaserJock> hi highvoltage
[07:41] <LaserJock> highvoltage: do you happen to know of any good Edubuntu news stories?
[08:08] <highvoltage> LaserJock: I don't think so, not atm
[08:08] <highvoltage> LaserJock: but I'll be sure to ping our local fridge editor as soon as I spot something ;)
[08:10] <LaserJock> <Mr Burns> Exxxcellent </Mr Burns>
[08:18] <jsgotangco> Edubuntu takes over the world
[11:50] <cbx33> boo ya
[11:57] <cliebow_> PETE!
[12:01] <cbx33> hey
[12:01] <cbx33> howz it going
[12:03] <cliebow_> confused as evger 8~)
[12:03] <cliebow_> too much real work to do...
[12:18] <cbx33> heheh
[02:07] <pygi> ogra, poke
[02:35] <ogra> pygi, ?
[02:35] <pygi> ogra, nvm now, sorry for poking :) Wanted to bug someone for uploading :P
[02:36] <ogra> ah, k
[02:37] <Amaranth> pygi: you're back?
[02:38] <pygi> Amaranth, back where?
[02:39] <Amaranth> working on edubuntu
[02:39] <pygi> I'm working on cd-recording packages right now =)
[02:39] <pygi> (the upload was for something else tho this time :P)
[03:19] <moquist> ogra: I was making things much more difficult than they needed to be. I just now rsynced the edubuntu-desktop install CD filesystem to an NFS server and set boot=casper netboot=nfs in the PXE config and it booted right up as if I had the CD in the drive.
[03:20] <moquist> ogra: The mouse doesn't work (and it does when I boot from CD), but I'm light-years ahead of where I was.
[03:20] <highvoltage> moquist: oooh!
[03:20] <ogra> cool
[03:21] <moquist> Oh, you also need nfsroot=10.20.1.2:/opt/ltsp/edudesktop-iso in the PXE config.
[03:21] <moquist> just man casper for details
[03:21] <moquist> It's so easy.
[03:22] <highvoltage> moquist: wow, I tried much more difficult ways last time I tried (and didn't succeed too much)
[03:22] <highvoltage> I tried to use the LTSP scripts instead of casper
[04:17] <cliebow> moquist,i never did get your prelim..can you send to cliebow atttt ellsworthschools.org
[06:03] <LaserJock> ogra: pingy pingy
[06:08] <LaserJock> ogra: I gotta run, but I could really use an email regarding my core-dev app soonish ;-)
[06:08] <willvdl> LaserJock,hiya
[06:09] <bluekuja> LaserJock, :)
[06:09] <bluekuja> LaserJock, need to talk with you about a document
[06:09] <bluekuja> LaserJock, do you have a minute?
[06:12] <LaserJock> bluekuja: quick minute
[06:12] <LaserJock> willvdl: hi
[06:12] <bluekuja> LaserJock, gonna pm you
[07:23] <willvdl> ogra, seen one of these at all? http://linutop.com/
[07:24] <willvdl> looks like an AMD thing, one of the "50x15" partners
[07:24] <willvdl> ah, comes with xubuntu...
[07:25] <LaserJock> 280 euros though, that seems kinda high
[07:35] <t94xr> stuff the usb key, buy a laptop 80gb and mount that on top - should do it :D
[07:48] <willvdl> yeah it does. was interesting to see it as part of the 50x15 initiative
[07:50] <highvoltage> Burgundavia: congratulations
[08:01] <moquist> cliebow: bounced it to you @ ellsworthschools
[08:14] <cliebow> Much obliged..Matt
[08:17] <cliebow> i was r5eally thinking unh in July..
[08:18] <moquist> cliebow: keep looking at the spreadsheet... :)
[08:19] <cliebow> k
[08:19] <cliebow> it is BIG on my screen
[08:36] <moquist> highvoltage, ogra: btw, once I stopped using my customized initrd and used the vmlinuz and initrd straight off the Edubuntu Desktop install CD ISO, everything works great.
[08:37] <cliebow> heh
[08:37] <cliebow> moquist: i saved that thing in word and it all of a sudden was a 50 meg file instead of 18 k 8~)
[09:10] <highvoltage> moquist: great. I'm going to attempt it again this weekend. I can already more or less automate ubiquity, so I want to use it for mass-deployments
[09:10] <moquist> highvoltage: that's the next step for me, too.
[09:11] <moquist> Oh - is that just the name of the installer?
[09:11] <pygi> yes :p
[09:11] <highvoltage> moquist: cool, I'll ping you again this weekend. I've worked myself messed-up again today
[09:11] <moquist> heh
[09:13] <moquist> highvoltage: I'm setting up all the different ubuntu ISOs for network boot now. :)
[09:14] <highvoltage> moquist: nice. I wish I knew it was so simple to set up a few weeks ago. I spent quite e few hours trying to get it work the non-casper way
[09:14] <moquist> highvoltage: how do you automate ubiquity? any pointers for a total newbie to kickstart-y things?
[09:15] <moquist> highvoltage: Yeah, me too.
[09:15] <highvoltage> moquist: yep. it has a gtk python interface script (can't remember exactly where), if you do a locate you should be able to find it quite easily
[09:15] <highvoltage> moquist: it has the concept of "screens"
[09:15] <moquist> OK...
[09:15] <highvoltage> in the python script it says screens=6 or 7 or something, that causes what ubituity will say when it says screen 2/7, etc
[09:16] <moquist> Hmm. OK. thanks!
[09:16] <highvoltage> then, what I did to automate it for tuxlabs, was simply comment out the screens that I didn't want, and set screens=2
[09:16] <highvoltage> so all that it asked was how to partition the disks, and confirm.
[09:16] <moquist> right
[09:16] <highvoltage> moquist: that's planned for the future, ubiquity isn't feature-complete yet :/
[09:17] <highvoltage> I think complete pre-seeding is planned for a future release.
[09:18] <willvdl> outa here. see you tomorrow
[09:19] <highvoltage> bye willvdl
[09:19] <highvoltage> willvdl: will you be in durbanville tomorrow?
[09:19] <willvdl> maybe. you?
[09:19] <highvoltage> willvdl: yep, in the afternoon
[09:19] <willvdl> gave your stuffies to Eric
[09:20] <highvoltage> willvdl: thanks, I saw the pm
[09:20] <willvdl> oh yeah, told you that already :)
[09:20] <highvoltage> willvdl: I'll get it from him tomorrow
[09:20] <willvdl> highvoltage, depends on the weather
[09:20] <willvdl> if it's like today I'll stay at home :)
[09:20] <highvoltage> yeah I worked from home today
[09:20] <highvoltage> last night was the first time ever a storm woke me up - I love weather like that
[09:21] <willvdl> yeah. wass wicked
[09:21] <willvdl> thunder and lightning is not something we're used to down here
[09:34] <moquist> highvoltage: I think you already know exactly what I did, but FWIW: http://moquist.blogspot.com/
[09:34] <moquist> er... http://moquist.blogspot.com/2007/06/ubuntu-network-installs-made-easy.html
[11:06] <dtrask> anyone here?  I have a sound issue....simple one
[11:07] <stgraber> dtrask: what kind ?
[11:07] <dtrask> Just got a Feisty server up (edubuntu) and I can't figure out how to increase the sound volume on the thin-clients
[11:08] <dtrask> I thought the vol control would work....but no
[11:08] <dtrask> any ideas where to begin looking?
[11:10] <stgraber> hmm, I think with the new polypaudio thing the sound volume should just work ..., maybe there are some polypaudio tools available for that
[11:10] <crimsun> (meaning pulseaudio)
[11:10] <stgraber> hmm, yes :)
[11:11] <dtrask> yeah....I thought ogra had it working, but "not for me"  :-(
[11:11] <dtrask> I'll have to shoot him a message and see what he says
[11:11] <cliebow_>  ogra is around someewhere..
[11:11] <dtrask> is he on?  I tried over on LTSP....nothing
[11:12] <dtrask> ping
[11:12] <dtrask> ping
[11:12] <crimsun> idle     : 0 days 5 hours 54 mins 11 secs
[11:12] <crimsun> he's likely away for dinner or sleeping
[11:13] <stgraber> sleeping I guess
[11:13] <dtrask> yeah....late night in Germany
[11:13] <crimsun> I never know with his schedule :-)
[11:13] <dtrask> Oh well....I shoot an email
[11:13] <stgraber> 23:12 his/my time
[11:13] <dtrask> hx guys
[11:13] <dtrask> thx
[11:14] <dtrask> yeah....prolly sleepin'
[11:14] <pygi> stgraber, not too late :P
[11:15] <stgraber> indeed
