[01:26] <sbalneav> Evening all
[02:22] <ziroday> good morning
[02:24] <sbalneav> Evening!
[02:25] <ziroday> lol\
[02:25] <ziroday> do you use ltsp?
[02:51] <sbalneav> ziroday: I use, and WRITE ltsp
[02:51] <sbalneav> I'm one of the developers
[02:52] <ziroday> wow
[02:53] <ziroday> well first ohh, ltsp is awesome
[02:53] <ziroday> and i think ive incorprated it and brang life to about 8 NGO's now
[02:54] <ziroday> sbalneav: and i was wondering
[02:55] <sbalneav> Yes?
[02:56] <ziroday> is there anyway i can push settings to all users
[02:56] <ziroday> like make them all have the same desktop
[02:56] <ziroday> wallpaper
[02:57] <ziroday> without changing each users manually
[02:57] <sbalneav> Yep.  Look into Sabayon, and pesselus
[02:57] <ziroday> thanks
[02:58] <ziroday> so what did you write in the project?
[02:58] <sbalneav> Most of the localdevice support.
[02:58] <sbalneav> Lots of docs
[02:58] <sbalneav> Rewriting LDM in C
[02:59] <ziroday> ahh lol
[02:59] <sbalneav> etc
[03:00] <ziroday> hey is there and different LDM Login screens?, or are they just normal Login Screens that you can get from gnome-look and its like?
[03:00] <sbalneav> The ldm greeters are different.
[03:01] <sbalneav> Currently, there's really only a gtk+ greeter.
[03:01] <sbalneav> I'd like to see a qt greeter, and a Xlib (plain) greeter
[03:04] <ziroday> ahh
[03:04] <ziroday> ok
[03:04] <ziroday> sorry its just that most NGO's i work with have no idea what linux is or howto use it
[03:04] <ziroday> so i try to make it as "windozy" like as possible
[03:05] <ziroday> e.g. one bar at the bottom, with a windoze logo, windoze icons etc
[03:05] <ziroday> and they always get scared whenever they see anything say anything about edubuntu
[03:05] <ziroday> the name just scares them lol
[03:06] <sbalneav> Tried that a long time ago, and discovered that it was a really bad way to go, personally.
[03:06] <ziroday> you think its better to teach them?
[03:06] <sbalneav> No matter how much you make it TRY to look like windows, it will never BE windows, never act COMPLETELY like windows.
[03:06] <ziroday> true
[03:06] <sbalneav> Which confuses them even more.
[03:07] <ziroday> but i do things like rename OOO Word, just word and give it a word logo
[03:07] <sbalneav> I've found it's better for it to look completely different, then you drive home the fact that this ISN'T windows, and some things are different.
[03:07] <ziroday> so i dont get a call in the middle of the nite from my latest NGO asking where word is lol
[03:08] <ziroday> hmm, ill try that this time than
[03:08] <sbalneav> cuts down on a lot of the "Well on REAL windows, when I do THIS it should work like THIS" type complaints.
[03:08] <sbalneav> But that's just what I've found.
[03:08] <ziroday> yeah i get a lot of those lol
[03:09] <sbalneav> I've got 175 government workers using gnome and openoffice, as gnome and openoffice.
[03:09] <sbalneav> and I've even got 8 of them to convert to Linux at home.
[03:09] <ziroday> lol, but do you live in the same country as them?
[03:09] <sbalneav> Yep.
[03:09] <ziroday> unfortunatly not for me
[03:10] <ziroday> im in singapore and i help NGO's in indonesia, phillipines
[03:10] <ziroday> malaysia etc
[03:10] <ziroday> mainly with computer issues or shortages
[03:11] <ziroday> so its hard for me to go down there and do this and that say there this is how you have to do it
[03:12] <ziroday> so which country are you in?
[03:13] <sbalneav> Canada
[03:13] <ziroday> lucky

[09:59] <lns> We really need the integrated user search function which doesn't seem to be available for the regular Gnome user/group mgr
[11:13] <Adune> Is there a doc for throwing KDE on Edubuntu?
[11:13] <Adune> I'm hoping to lock the desktop down a bit more than default.
[11:35] <Comete> hi
[11:36] <Comete> i use ltsp with Edubuntu 7.04 but i have a problem with the screen resolution on the clients. The  resolution is too high and it seems that the X_MODE_0 = 800x600 is not accepted, any idea ?
[12:01] <jorge_> hi
[12:02] <jorge_> a good video card is required for the edubuntu's server???
[12:05] <_MetaLMilitiA_> ...
[12:06] <_MetaLMilitiA_> any one??
[12:08] <Comete> _MetaLMilitiA_: no
[12:09] <Comete> _MetaLMilitiA_: you can use it with any 2d card
[12:10] <_MetaLMilitiA_> txz!
[12:12] <_MetaLMilitiA_> we got a problem too with de initramfs, because we need to start very old machines with only 16 MB ram, but the initramfs causes kernel panic
[12:13] <_MetaLMilitiA_> is there a way to reduce initramfs size?
