ograbut it seems to wark alricght04:24
sbalneavHave you merged from me?  We made a couple of changes yesterday.  Nothing major.04:25
ogranot yet, but according to the commit mails you only worked on the screed.d and session scripts04:25
ograi fixed all base functionallity of TCM04:26
ogralisting, killing procs and killing users now works properly again04:26
ograi'd love a sane screenshooter app04:26
ograbut waht i wrote so far is based on xwd ... and makes the users cursor flash all the time04:27

moquistHas anybody in here tried out iTALC?04:35
ogramoquist, planned for possible inclusion in hardy04:36
moquistSo it must be good, then.04:36
ograit has some bad security holes04:36
=== moquist nods
ograand it links against libssl04:36
ograif these two are fixed i'd like it at least on the addon CD and in main04:36
moquistI'm thinking about recommending it on a statewide mailing list, and I wanted to be sure I wasn't recommending something crap.04:37
moquistogra: makes sense.04:37
ograit even seems to work properly with ltsp504:38
ograstgraber made some tests04:38
=== moquist nods -- makes sense
ografor small setups i'd still rather recommend TCM though04:39
ograand as long as we have TCM i wont put italc in the default install04:39
moquistSure. Our problem with teachertool & TCM is that we don't have small setups, and those tools aren't useful when you have hundreds of TCs spread throughout a school.04:39
ograright04:40
ograthats why i want italc easily available04:40

=== ogra is no fan of controlaula ...
moquist"closest possible" to what?04:49
RichEdmoquist: their windows application :)04:49
moquistahhhh! :)04:49
moquistI think dtrask just started with iTALC this semester, so I've asked him for comments, too.04:50
ograi think stgraber ad probs with locking/unlocking screens but thats about it04:50
moquistI'm sure the people who were asking on this statewide educators mailing list are only looking at Windows.04:51
moquistUnless...they might have some Macs, in which case iTALC won't cut it for them.04:51
RichEdmoquist: I have a comparative doc I can mail you (unofficially)04:52
moquistRichEd: Would you mind if I unofficially send it on to a mailing list?04:53
moquistRichEd: Well, go ahead and send it in any case, please. :) But may I also send it on?04:53
RichEdmoquist: it is the windows options comparisons ... not open source04:53
RichEdlet me sanitise04:53

RichEdmoquist: it compares features for LanSchool04:58
RichEdSychronEyes04:58
RichEdNet Support School04:58
RichEdGeneva Vision 604:58
moquistYep, SychronEyes and Geneva Vision 6 are the two they asked about. Is iTALC a reasonable alternative?04:59
moquistI was conservative in my response ("I've never tried this but I've heard good things"), but I just hate pointing people to Free Software that is also crap software.05:00
RichEditalc is not on the comparison yet05:02

stgraberhere is switzerland (french part)07:30
stgraberthey are having some problem with the teacher computer unable to find any student computer07:30
stgraberand things like that, as I understood they also have some kind of licencing issue07:30
=== moquist too...it's not GPL, or even OSI
stgraberthey had to order the correct amount of licence but use the same licence number on all the computers07:30
moquistha ha! We had something similar happen with Symantec Ghost.07:31
stgraberas otherwise they wouldn't be able to manage all the computers or something like that07:31
moquistWe said "5000 computers, 10 different sites" and then they told us to use the same key everywhere. So I think we got 5k computers PER site.07:31
jessejazzaHI is there a forum for edubuntu07:31
