stgraberogra: just tested today edubuntu server, the chroot failed to build (a rename error at the end of the building process), then rebooted and everything worked just fine (booted a thin client worked the first time !!!)05:32
ograstgraber, yeah, i copied the log to /taget ... :P05:32
stgraberogra: the error was about renaming a /var/log/????.log file (sorry didn't take note of the file name)05:32
ograindeed /taget doesnt exist :)05:32
stgraberok, so apart from that everything works fine05:32
ograneeded to be /target05:33
ograwith that fix all should be fine, will be in the next build05:33
stgrabernice, so RC should install and work fine this time :)05:34
ograyeah05:35
ograand we have lots of spare space05:35
stgraberyeah I heard of that. You'll be able to put some of the langpacks back in :)05:35

mherwegq: what are th minimum reqirements for an edubuntu thinclient : 32 or 48 MB RAM ?06:25
sbalneavMorning.06:25
sbalneav32's VERY tight, but will work.  It will be very slow. 48 would be better.06:26
sbalneavogra: You around?06:26
ograsure06:27
mherwegafter a fres install of the 7.10beta version of the swerver i get "client not autorized" (or similar) on the thin client06:28
sbalneavYou need to do an ltsp-update-sshkeys06:29
ograyeah, thats only solved in the most recen image06:30

ograLaserJock, what was that ?08:51
LaserJockI added in all the translations08:51
ograhow much bigger is it  now ?08:51
LaserJockI had to really hack around debian/rules to do the translations08:51
LaserJockabout 1MB I think08:51
ograah, k08:52
ograthas fine then08:52
LaserJockI removed translations that were less than 10% translated08:52
LaserJockogra: the .deb went from 909K to 1.6M08:53

davmor2ogra:  Shouldn't netboot's edubuntu not produce the desktop cd equiv ?09:41
ogradavmor2, nope09:42
ograonly the edubuntu-desktop install09:42
ograwhich is identical with the server install desktop wise09:42
davmor2Right, but there is no addon-cd for netboot.  So does it tell you anywhere that you need it?  Or how to install it?09:43
ograno09:44
LaserJockI would assume we'll have it in the release notes09:44
ograedubuntu-docs has some info though09:45
ograbut they are more general09:45
ograyeah, release notes sounds good09:45
ograwe'll need to have the metapackages for hardy :)09:45
ograor tasks09:45
ograwhatever fits better09:45
davmor2Right okay so it's not a bug there is just no docs for it.  No problems.  I was just expecting the equiv to a live cd install :)09:46
=== juliux [n=juliux@ubuntu/member/juliux] has joined #edubuntu
davmor2so I'll edit it now on the test tracker :)09:46
ogradavmor2, invalid was probably to harsh, whishlist sounds better :)09:47
davmor2ogra: I thought it was missing all the education packages that's a major flaw :)  Now I know different I have changed it :)09:48
ograthe live install gives you what once was edubuntu-desktop09:49
ograwell, nearly ...09:49
ograits odd that there are still differences but its a lot better than in feisty at least09:49
davmor2so is done to make it fit on a cd still?09:49
ograyeah09:50
ograwe needed space on the server CD09:50
davmor2Right it's only so I know while testing :)09:51
ograthe suqashfs we use on live gives us some extra space so we could keep many edu apps there09:51
davmor2cool09:51
=== joebob777as7___ [n=richard@yoda.peacefulescape.com] has joined #edubuntu
ograbut users complained when we made -desktop the same everywhere since they didnt get installed what they saw on the live session09:51
ograso we made ubiquity install the live apps as well09:52
davmor2ah empathy just crashed :(09:53
davmor2I think the big issue is that you expect educational apps with edubuntu :(09:54
ograyeah09:54
ograthere is a lot on the panel to be discussed about the future of edubuntu n boston09:55
LaserJock:(09:55
LaserJockI need to make sure I get my voip setup so I can listen in09:55
davmor2cool.09:55
ogradavmor2, well, lets see if thats so cool ...09:56
ogramight be that edubuntu as you know it now will stop to exist09:56
ogranot sure where thats going09:56
davmor2that's not so cool :(09:58
encompasswoah, that aint good09:59
ograthat must not be bad :)09:59
ogralets see :)10:00
ogradont judge in advance10:00
LaserJockEdubuntu DVD FTW!10:00
LaserJock;-)10:00
ograLaserJock, the question is rather do we need a first CD (and thus DVD)10:01
ograor should edubuntu become a plain addon with g-a-i on steroids10:02
davmor2it really would be too :)  Might make it less confusing but then you got to install stuff for a week and a half10:04
LaserJockogra: yes, I think it's a good question10:04
LaserJockit'd be a big change10:04
LaserJockbut it makes sense for us to just maintain the Edubuntu specific stuff10:04
davmor2and what about the serverside :(10:04
LaserJockogra: we're shipping 9 translations of the Handbook10:05
sbalneavWow10:05
ogranice !10:05
LaserJockthey aren't complete translations10:05
LaserJockthere are a few that are pretty much complete10:05
ogradavmor2, server stuff would have to be handled by the server team10:06
sbalneavdavmor2: About the only thing that makes edubuntu-server is ltsp, and that could easily be added.10:06
LaserJockde didn't make it so well10:06
ogradavmor2, the main concern with al this is that to much of my worktime goes into the CDs10:06
ograsbalneav, well, we're about to add a moodle default mode ad will have a authserver setup as well10:06
davmor2right so it would just be a package instead ?10:07
ograthe thing is that the *ubuntu* server cd would have to provide all we need as a task10:07
LaserJockbut we could easily keep an edubuntu-server metapackage/task though, right?10:07
sbalneavMyself, personally, I'd vote for an addon cd that installs the edu apps + ltsp server.  I think it will free up a lot of our time maintaining a lot of stuff that isn't edu related.10:07
sbalneavBut that's just me. :)10:07
LaserJockI agree10:08
ograwell, my target in the past ws to ofer an alternative for k12ltsp users10:08
LaserJockalthough it's not a clear win in all ways10:08
davmor2sounds like a plan10:08
ograwe might loose these10:08
sbalneavWell, it still is.10:08
sbalneavk12ltsp ships on multiple cds10:08
sbalneavso will eubuntu10:08
ograit will be less easy to install10:09
sbalneav1) ubuntu cd + 1 Edubuntu conversion cd.10:09
ograright10:09
davmor2ogra: couldn't you just do an app on cd style addon cd?10:09
LaserJockperhaps not having to deal with initial installation would help10:09
ograthe thing is that i dont see the advantage, it doesnt really matter if i test one or two CDs :)10:09
sbalneavWell, we just have to work on the installer part, and make sure it's working flawless.  But it frees us (you, more specifically) from worrying about bootsize cd images, DI stuff, etc.10:10
ograLaserJock, it will shortn the time a bit10:10
LaserJockwell, if you don't have to deal with udebs and ubiquity/d-installer ;-)10:10
ograwhich is the fun part :)10:10
sbalneavright.10:10
sbalneavWhat, ltsp isn't the fun part? :)10:10
=== sbalneav pouts :)
ogradont take al the fun out of my job :)10:10
ograsbalneav, ltsp is the inly thing i usually touch the installer for10:11
LaserJockogra: ok, then write a custom Edubuntu installer10:11
LaserJockthat provides all kinds of goodies ;-010:11
LaserJock:-) rather10:11
davmor2ogra: just work on ubuntu's instead ;)10:11
sbalneavWe can hash it over in Bawston.10:11
ograi just wrote a gui for ltsp-build-client (the 6th or 7th one ... i do these for relaxing while doing iso test installs :) )10:11
sbalneavOh, nice.10:12
LaserJockif we could move to DVDs I think it would be nice to keep us as a full OS10:12
sbalneavLaserJock: I got localapps launching with my xrexecd last night.10:12
LaserJockinteresting10:12
ograwell, the target for edubuntu (or rather ubuntu in education) will be to get ready for minucupalities and governments as well ... so we'll start to fcus on mass user maintenance etc10:12
ogra*municipalities :)10:13
sbalneav"muni" for short10:13
LaserJockwell, perhaps a spec on just what Edubuntu is and what it's targets are, etc. would be good10:14
sbalneavOr m12s :)10:14
LaserJockI'd hate for Edubuntu to *just* be meeting Canonical's goals10:14
ograLaserJock, well, its my job to make sure there is some balance10:14
LaserJockbut I think clearly defining target and purpose would be good10:14
ograbut note that cannical invested a *lot* with very little or even no return at all yet10:14
LaserJocksure10:15
LaserJockI think meeting their business goals (clearly mass contracts/deployments are what makes sense there) is a good thing10:15
ograin any case we'll review the targets and properly define/spec them10:16
LaserJockbut it should sacrifice giving and educational OS to regular users10:16
LaserJock*shouldn't10:16
ograthats on the list for boston10:16
ograright10:16
LaserJockogra: was there ever a decision on whether the Desktop CD is the "recommended" install or not?10:17
LaserJockI've missed the last two meetings :(10:17
ograwe dont switch10:17
ograthe discussion came to late for the chnage10:17
ograprinting was already started back when we started discussing it10:17
ogra(covers and the like, not the CDs indeed)10:18
ograi wont forget abut the request in boston, dont worry ... but forst we'll need to do some basic decisions there10:19
ogra*first10:19
LaserJocknp, I'm just redoing the ubuntu-cdimage script for the download pages10:20
sbalneavDo we have usable cd images to test?10:20
sbalneavI could do some testing tonight?10:20
sbalneavOK, off to dinner10:24
=== tidrion [n=cescalan@mail.ogdenpubs.com] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockogra: how does this sound for the Desktop CD:10:25
LaserJockThe desktop CD allows you to try Edubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. You will need at least 320 MB of RAM to install from this CD. You can install additional educational programs by using the Edubuntu Classroom Server Addon CD10:26
ograsounds fine10:26
LaserJocknow the Classroom Server section says nothing about the addon cd10:27
LaserJockshould I mention something like "To install the Edubuntu educational programs use the Classroom Server Addon CD"10:28
LaserJock+ after installation10:28
LaserJockI guess we should make sure they know you use it *after* you install with the Classroom Server CD10:28

ograLaserJock, "Classroom Server Addon CD requires an edubuntu desktop to be installed on the machine"10:47
LaserJockthat should be for the addon CD description?10:48
ograthats why i wrote "Classroom Server Addon CD" in the beginning of the sentence :)10:49
LaserJockThe classroom server add-on $CD contains additional packages that may be10:50
LaserJockuseful in conjunction with the classroom server $CD. It requires that an $CAPPROJECT10:50
LaserJockdesktop be installed on the machine.10:50
LaserJockogra: ^^ that work?10:51
ogra"contains additional packages that may useful in conjunction with the classroom server" is wrong10:51
ograit doesnt need the server CD10:51
LaserJockright10:51
ograit needs an edubuntu-desktop to be installed10:51
LaserJock<p>The classroom server add-on $CD contains additional useful packages, including many10:52
LaserJockeducational programs. It requires that an $CAPPROJECT desktop be installed on the machine.</p>10:52
LaserJockhow's that?10:52
ograthats fine10:53
