pips1srimalj: sorry I was busy ... sounds great! you got a funded translation project. fantastic.01:29
pips1srimalj: what do you want to translate...? do you want to translate the desktop/software in edubuntu? do you want to translate the documentation for edubuntu? where do you want to start? :-)01:31
srimaljactually we would like to translate some educational suites in edubuntu (fiesty)01:35
srimaljthat would benefit rural sri lankan children01:35
srimaljand we want this work to be included in fiture releases01:35
pips1srimalj: there are lots of resources for translators online. there is launchpad, which enables you to contribute translations of the software, see https://translations.launchpad.net/01:36
srimaljifthere is anything that can be upstreamed back to the main Ubuntu project then that should also happen01:36
srimaljtnx i already registered an account on launchpad01:36
srimaljand a project01:36
srimaljSinhala Edubuntu01:36
pips1nice01:36
srimaljSo when we upload po files to LaunchPad does that get included to the Ubuntu releases too?01:37
pips1there are also language specific mailing lists available for translators ("localisation lists")... see https://lists.ubuntu.com/01:37
srimaljwe want to be able to make a Sinhala Edubuntu live cd also01:37
pips1yes, the translations get included01:37
srimaljautomatically?01:37
srimalji dont think the whole edubuntu project can be translated at once01:38
srimaljso we'd like to focus on some crucial educational apps initially01:38
srimaljand proceed01:38
pips1I don't know how automated it is and what the exact process is... you can find out from people with ubuntu translation experience though :-)01:38
srimaljcool tnx01:39
pips1try searching the mailing list archives of the translators: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators01:39
srimaljcurrently no sinhala list01:39
srimaljso i guess this is a first01:40
pips1and if you don't find useful information there, join the list and ask :-)01:40
pips1no sinhala list... well, start one if there are going to be several of you :-)01:40
pips1srimalj: did you see our introductory page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Translation ?01:41
pips1srimalj: hope this helped... I need to go eat now, cu later01:42
srimaljtnx a lot01:45
srimaljthat was very help full01:45

=== gert [n=gert@d54C3BD6B.access.telenet.be] has joined #edubuntu
gertHi, need some help to set up sound on thin Client. Thin Client is running on edubuntu 7.04 server, which has no sound card. I want to connect to a windows server and get the sound in my thin client. This seems impssible because there is no sound daemon running on edubuntu. Any idea's??03:08
ograthe sound daemon runs on te client if there is sound HW we have a driver for03:09
gertok, so I have to install the thin clients sound card drivers in the server's /opt/ltsp directory?03:11
ograno03:15
ograthey are there already03:15
ograbut i doubt you can have windows produce anything usable thats playable on the client03:15
gertwell if I rdesktop from my suse desktop there's no problem03:16
ograthen it should work as well if you run rdesktop as login manager on the thin client03:16

ograwhat kind of soudncard is that ?03:19
=== SimonAnibal [n=sruiz@c-69-245-220-180.hsd1.in.comcast.net] has joined #edubuntu
ograand do you have sound in normal LTSP mode if ou use it as a client ?03:19
gertsis901703:19
ograouch03:19
ogra(you mean 7019 i guess :) )03:19
gertyes 'm sorry03:20
ograthere is no working driver for recent 2.6 kernels for this thing03:20
ogra(its one of the worst HW's i know btw ... ) what kind of client is that ? ebox 2300 ?03:20
gertI don't know exactly, the manual only says 'TU'03:21
ograhttp://www.compactpc.com.tw/ebox-2300.htm03:22
gertso the only way I can get around this is to use a 2.4 kernel03:22
ograwhich wont work in ltsp5 ... or latest 4.203:23
gert4.1?03:23
ograbith use udev etc ... there is no way to make either work with a 2.4 kernel03:23
ograno idea if 4.1 did support 2.4 kernels ...03:24
ograi dont touch that old code03:24
ogra(nobody does actually)03:24
gertok thanks a lot, at least now I know I don't have to waste any more time03:25
ograi'm wroking on to port the sis7019 driver to gutsy, but its still not clear we can ship it, the only code i have isnt licensed and has no copyright info at all03:25
gertok thanks man!03:26
ograif you have a thing like the one i pasted the link for there are at least chances it will half way work in gutsy03:26
gertbut not in feisty03:26
ogranope03:26
gertI just took a look, that's the thing I have03:28
ograthat thing is carppy hardware,the one example i have here to work with needs to do everything in CPU so sound gets choppy if you move the mouse etc03:28
ograits a shame they sell it for so much03:28
ograthats not even worth $50 and you can get way better things for 20 bucks more03:28
gertYou have any better suggestions for thin clients?03:28
ograanything from disklessworkstations.com thats not teh e2300 is good (but a bit more expensive) and there are varoiuus companies seeling stuff from $120 to 150 thats rather in the 500Mhz area and has proper pci chips03:30
ograeven geode systms will serve you beter than this thing03:30
multikeven linuterm :)03:31
ograsince we (ltsp upstream) work very closely with disklessworkstations.com i got such a thing from them to make sure it works at least half way in gutsy ...03:31
ograbut from 200Mhz for *everything* you cant expect miracles03:32
gertno of course not but it has to be cheap because we want to implement them in schools03:33
ograright03:33
gertanyway, thanks a lot for your time guys!!03:34
