JonNoobAnybody have any thoughts on choosing i386 version or amd64 version for a edubuntu feisty server?11:47
highvoltageJonNoob: I don't know whether the 64bit version really gives such a large performance boost, I think the i386 setup will be easier, especially if you'll be booting i386 clients11:55
highvoltageJonNoob: also, things like flash and java doesn't work on 64bit, afaik11:55

ograyep05:28
ograLaserJock, server not installing at all is worse05:29
LaserJockhmm, I wish I knew how to take care of the oversized LiveCD more05:29
LaserJockdo you just drop stuff from the seeds to slim it down?05:29
LaserJockor is there more work to it?05:29
ograno, dropp stuff is fine ing05:30

ogradropping stuff is fine05:30
ograeven though that rather looks like something extra went in since tribe305:30
ogralike duplicated kernel or so05:30
LaserJockI can take a look at the seeds if you want05:31
ograthat would help a lot05:32

LaserJockogra: I don't see much of anything in live and ship-live that could really go but the amd64 langs05:36
LaserJockogra: perhaps desktop is just getting bigger?05:36
ograwell, server didnt explode05:37
LaserJockhmm05:38
LaserJockohhh05:38
LaserJockhmm, I know gcompris added some new sound langs05:39
LaserJockbut those shouldn't be on there anyway05:39
ograno, they are seeded specifically05:39
LaserJockgeeze, and tux* aren't even on amd6405:40
LaserJockthat's weird05:40
LaserJockhmm, the kde lang packs are twice the size of the gnome ones05:43
ograyeah :(05:44
LaserJockwell, looking at the diff with ubuntu's live seed05:46
LaserJockit looks to me like langpacks might be it05:46
ogralikely ... thats often also the easiest way to gain space05:47
LaserJockthey only put es xh on amd6405:47
LaserJockand obviously no KDE ;-)05:47
ograpitti has a size list somewhere iirc05:47
LaserJockand ship-live are identical between edubuntu and ubuntu05:48
ogra-desktop arent ...05:50
LaserJockogra: actually, I just did a bzr pull, ubuntu took out *all* non en lang packs05:50
ograheh05:50
LaserJockthat must be it05:52
ografeel free to fix the seeds :)05:53
LaserJockok, well, do you care about -desktop at this point?05:54
ogranope, as long as its fubctional05:54
ograerr, well size wise i do05:55
LaserJockwell, I was wondering if you wanted desktop more in sync with ubuntu's05:55
ograbut if lang dropping is sufficient ... *shrug*05:55
LaserJockbut I'm guessing it's a little late to be messing with it05:55
ogranah, not now05:55
ograapart from mono stuff in ubuntu and some edu apps in ours it should be pretty much in sync05:56

frostyfrogEmerald Flame: There's at least one other thread on this subject on this forums as well. I do worry that as we update more in the next year or so, we will go father away from beign supported by Wine. Perhaps it's time someone did make a Linux Furcadia client. I'm afraid we do not have time to do one and support it officially though.06:51

LaserJockoh dang, right07:46
LaserJockyou know, if we turned it into a demo CD I think we could do this much better07:47

LaserJockogra: any suggestions? I can do the leg work I think, but I'm not sure where to hack :/07:51
ograwell, for now lets take tuxpaint out07:51
ograthat will gain more than 10M i guess07:52
ograquick but temporary "fix"07:52
LaserJockwhat about gcompris?07:52
ograwe'll live with the bug for now07:52
ograi really dont understand why it exploded that heavily, but digging the logs for all possible changes one by one over the last weeks takes to much time now07:53
LaserJockwill germinate complain if the gcompris deps aren't satisfied?07:53
ogralets go without tuxpaint for now and find the real cause for the breakage if we have tiome for that07:54
ogratuxpaint shouldnt be a dep07:54
ograits a recommends afaik07:54
LaserJockwell ... I changed that to fix the bug :(07:54
ogrameh07:54
LaserJockalthough I'm not convinced absolutely that the bug even exists anymore07:54
LaserJockit seems difficult to reproduce07:55
LaserJockogra: sorry dude, I was trying to just fix the bug :(07:55
LaserJockuntil upstream had it all figured out07:56
ograthen its kstars ... even though i dont think that getw us as much07:56
ogra*gets07:56
LaserJockoh hmmm, I'm not sure if it'll be quite enough on it's own07:57
LaserJockI got 10MB for the .deb size07:57
LaserJockand we were 12MB over :(07:57
LaserJockogra: how long does it take for the .iso to build?07:58
ogra20 min or so07:58
=== LaserJock crosses fingers and toes
ograbut i suspect pitti will do all flavours so it depends when we're on07:58
LaserJockogra: well, I could whip up a gcompris without tuxpaint dep, if it's not too late to push that through07:59
ograwell, we have to revert that later again07:59

LaserJockok, good11:51
LaserJockstgraber: and does your iso testing site link to the isos?11:53
stgraberyes, click on the icon next to the iso name11:53
stgraberyou should have http, rsync and md511:54
LaserJockThis ISO wasn't found on cdimage.ubuntu.com (may no longer exists)11:55

LaserJockthat's for the Edubuntu Server Addon i38611:55
LaserJocksame for amd6411:55

LaserJockand what is "Edubuntu Upgrade" ?11:57

stgraberLaserJock: serveraddon now working12:04
stgraberbtw, I'll need to rewrite this whole function as it's full of hack :)12:05
LaserJockheh12:05
stgraberwell generating the cdimage.u.c path from the title shown on the tracker isn't that easy :)12:06
stgraberI also have some bad "gutsy" hardcoded which could shortly be a problem :)12:07
LaserJockwell, that's what doing it in iterations is all about12:08
LaserJockmake it "workable" first, then polish it up12:08
stgraberyes, and it'll need a lot of polish if we want it to be used by the mozilla team/kernel team and some hardware team as well12:12
stgraberas it's currently full of ISO-specific hack12:13
LaserJockstgraber: is it running on a Canonical machine? it's a bit slow, I'd imagine you'd get hit pretty hard during Tribe/Release times12:14
stgraberit's on my dedicated server for now (256MB of ram and tons of other services running as well)12:15
stgraberthere is something like 20MB of free ram :)12:15
stgraberHenrik told me Canonical is installing a server for us, so it'll get faster :)12:16
stgraber(and SSL with 20MB of Ram on a 2Ghz Celeron CPU isn't that fast either ....)12:17
LaserJockstgraber: no, not at all12:17
stgraberDrupal caching already help a bit, only user-specific pages are slow now (the worst being when you actually submit results)12:20
