| sunnybg | hi. is there alternative install cd for edubuntu? I could not find any, and I have previous installation using lvm. i need to reinstall, as the upgrade process failed | 16:31 |
| sunnybg | it left me w/o wifi card working, and no X | 16:31 |
| ogra | the server CD is the alternative CD | 16:34 |
| sunnybg | ogra, thanks | 16:34 |
| ogra | :) | 16:34 |
| sbalneav | Afternoon all | 18:41 |
| stgraber | ogra, sbalneav: got my baggage :) will be back in 15 minutes | 18:48 |
| ogra | yay | 18:49 |
| sbalneav | stgraber: Yay! | 18:51 |
| stgraber | ogra, sbalneav,RichEd: Which room are you in ? | 18:53 |
| sbalneav | Well, I'm up in the hotel room. | 18:53 |
| stgraber | ok :) | 18:54 |
| sbalneav | Ollie's downstairs, I beleive | 18:54 |
| RichEd | he's next to me | 18:54 |
| RichEd | i'm checked into room 439 ... but now on 3rd floor | 18:54 |
| sbalneav | Back | 20:13 |
| dtrask | moquist: are you coming down today? | 20:15 |
| stgraber | the third ogra in the channel :) | 20:21 |
| stgraber | oh no, "ogra" disconnected :), so only two | 20:21 |
| sbalneav | Our cloning program is finally bearing fruit. | 20:21 |
| ogra__ | heh | 20:22 |
| stgraber | right, I think we should be good with three or four ogra :) one for cmpc, one for LTSP, one for Edubuntu desktop and one for the paper part of the work :) | 20:23 |
| sbalneav | And one just to look tres sexy :) | 20:26 |
| effie_jayx | ogra__, I am working on developing a School Diary for a cmpc in venezuela. do you know of any proyect already in progress ? | 20:27 |
| effie_jayx | anyone know about any apps that might help with a school diary | 20:27 |
| effie_jayx | ? | 20:27 |
| sbalneav | Hmm | 20:28 |
| ogra | not working ? | 20:28 |
| sbalneav | Well, I've used phpgroupware quite a bit | 20:28 |
| sbalneav | it's got a group scheduler, group notes, etc | 20:29 |
| sbalneav | effie_jayx: Have you looked at that? Or is there something specific to a school diary that isn't covered by that? | 20:29 |
| effie_jayx | sbalneav, intel wants some desktop app | 20:30 |
| effie_jayx | the idea is to have a client/master app where the teacher asigns homework and the kids and the parents can refer to later | 20:31 |
| effie_jayx | so I am thinking of going desktop app | 20:32 |
| ogra | we're looking into italc for hardy ... which is actually a session management app to manage the students desktpos (send messages, lock down the desktop etc) ... probably it would make sense to have such a functionallity as a plugin to it | 20:33 |
| effie_jayx | but good thing is the app will be FOSS | 20:34 |
| stgraber | ogra: plugin support for italc is on the todolist but not implemented AFAIK, so that would currently be an ugly patch :) | 20:34 |
| effie_jayx | we were emphatic on it and intel seems to be ok with it | 20:34 |
| ogra | meh | 20:34 |
| ogra | effie_jayx, sounds cool to me | 20:35 |
| stgraber | ogra: http://italc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Roadmap | 20:35 |
| ogra | effie_jayx, if you have some code, it would be good to contact MOTU to get it packaged :) | 20:35 |
| effie_jayx | ogra, we just started yesterday | 20:36 |
| sbalneav | Wonder if something could be done via avahi | 20:37 |
| effie_jayx | ogra, intel didn't give us the CMPC til friday | 20:37 |
| effie_jayx | and we almost had to buy them :S | 20:37 |
| ogra | effie_jayx, "if you have some code" :) | 20:37 |
| ogra | really ? | 20:37 |
| ogra | thats harsh | 20:37 |
| moquist | dtrask: yep | 20:39 |
| moquist | will probably leave within an hour or two | 20:39 |
| moquist | dtrask: you? | 20:39 |
| moquist | ogra, sbalneav: already in town? | 20:39 |
| dtrask | moquist: I'm here....your check is here....your server is here...room 503 | 20:39 |
| moquist | Oh, geez. I'd better get there fast. :) | 20:39 |
| stgraber | moquist: we all are at Hotel@MIT | 20:39 |
| ogra | moquist, yup, we had two days of fosscamp already | 20:40 |
| moquist | cool! | 20:40 |
| effie_jayx | ogra, we hope to have something fast... Intel was left stranded and they are pressed for time... | 20:40 |
| effie_jayx | ogra, a debian nm is trying to solve the pen bit | 20:40 |
| dtrask | moquist: very nice place! | 20:40 |
| moquist | Oh, right. I couldn't go to FOSS Camp and so forgot about it. :p | 20:40 |
| dtrask | moquist: so hurry up dude! | 20:40 |
| ogra | effie_jayx, pen bit ? | 20:40 |
| dtrask | moquist: valet parking $28...park yourself $22 | 20:40 |
| moquist | dtrask: turns out I'm not driving down. My wife's gonna drop me off so my car can get repaired during the week. | 20:41 |
| moquist | dtrask: My wife will pick me up and I'll get my car and drive myself up to BTS. | 20:41 |
| ogra | why did you break it in the first place ? | 20:41 |
| moquist | Just trying a little automotive hack, you know... the compiler had a bug I didn't know about, and before you knew it I had no more brakes. *shrug* | 20:42 |
| ogra | heh | 20:42 |
| ogra | who needs breakes if there are anchors | 20:42 |
| moquist | I got the cheap model without the anchors. :( :( :( | 20:43 |
| moquist | LaserJock: LASERJOCK!!!!!!!!!!!! | 20:43 |
| ogra | ah, indeed, adding that as extra costs extra | 20:43 |
| moquist | I thought about an aftermarket anchor, but they're usually made of cheap plastic and they break off on telephone poles, other cars, pedestrians, small pets, etc. | 20:44 |
| moquist | Oh - gotta get my car to the mechanic by 5. Gotta run. :) | 20:44 |
| ogra | see you :) | 20:44 |
| LaserJock | hi moquist | 20:44 |
| LaserJock | bye moquist | 20:44 |
| ogra | heh | 20:44 |
| LaserJock | good afternoon ogra | 20:44 |
| effie_jayx | ogra, the CM has a pen with which people can write and that appears on screen | 20:44 |
| sbalneav | moquist: Yes I am | 20:45 |
| ogra | there is an app | 20:45 |
| ogra | effie_jayx, i'm supposed to get that these days from intel, it will be included in the edubuntu image | 20:45 |
| dtrask | LaserJock: are you here? Or there? | 20:45 |
| ogra | dtrask, he's there :( | 20:45 |
| LaserJock | dtrask: there | 20:45 |
| LaserJock | anybody got xaos installed? | 20:45 |
| dtrask | LaserJock: damn! | 20:46 |
| * ogra raises hand | 20:46 | |
| LaserJock | I need a test of xaos -fullscreen | 20:46 |
| ogra | ogra@laptop:~$ xaos -fullscreen | 20:46 |
| ogra | X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) | 20:46 |
| ogra | gah | 20:46 |
| LaserJock | ok | 20:46 |
| ogra | and i dont run compiz ... i thought that one was compiz spcific | 20:46 |
| LaserJock | that's what I got an andother reporter | 20:46 |
| LaserJock | ogra: is there a bug open about it? | 20:47 |
| LaserJock | ogra: I didn't seen Edubuntu specs listed in the Boston blueprint list | 20:47 |
| LaserJock | are they hiding somewhere or have they not be registered yet? | 20:48 |
| stgraber | not been registered AFAIK | 20:48 |
| ogra | LaserJock, i'm working on the list with rich | 20:49 |
| ogra | we'll register them soon | 20:49 |
| ogra | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Education/UDS-Boston/ActionItems | 20:49 |
| ogra | LaserJock, only bug 117568 even though i'm not sure bug 135904 is related | 20:51 |
| ogra | hmmm | 20:52 |
| dtrask | ogra: What's your title with Canonical? | 20:52 |
| * ogra looks for ubotu | 20:52 | |
| dtrask | ogra: blogging | 20:52 |
| LaserJock | ogra: ubotu's been dying lately | 20:53 |
| * LaserJock is afk for a while, leave a message ;-) | 20:56 | |
| dtrask | ogra: What's Colin's official title? (feel free to make one up) | 20:57 |
| ogra | dtrask, which colin ? | 20:59 |
| ogra | watson ? | 20:59 |
| sbalneav | LaserJock: I'm updating to gutsy on the laptop now. Want me to dig into the Xaos bug after that? | 21:02 |
| stgraber | sbalneav: you were still running feisty ? don't like running devel release and all the funny things you have with it ? (like no more X, broken kernel, ...) :) | 21:05 |
| sbalneav | stgraber: heh, well, I'm gutsy at work and at home, but my laptop seems to have been left behind. | 21:18 |
| dtrask | I did an upgrade to gutsy from Feisty....broke too many things....little things, but enough to force me to do a clean install | 21:32 |
| dtrask | Now everything works fine...except for the #$!%$#2! battery monitor! | 21:32 |
| dtrask | Know issue with this System76 lappy, but no one knows how to fix yet | 21:33 |
| i | Hello, anyone available? | 22:55 |
| i_ | Hello, anyone available? | 22:56 |
| cmonkey | indeed | 23:24 |
| i_ | Hello? | 23:26 |
| i_ | cmonkey: Hello? | 23:26 |
| cmonkey | hello... | 23:26 |
| i_ | Know much about USB flash drives plugged into thin-clients connected to Edubuntu server (Gutsy)? | 23:27 |
| cmonkey | nope, but ask your question, so someone can see eventually and perhaps answer it | 23:27 |
| i_ | OK: | 23:28 |
| i_ | I'm running Edubuntu server (Gutsy) ... | 23:28 |
| i_ | Used to run Feisty ... had 19 clients connecting fine before | 23:28 |
| i_ | Now have a problem with local devices connected to the client ... | 23:28 |
| i_ | Only the first client connected gets access to local devices - the rest don't | 23:28 |
| i_ | Neither the user logging in, nor the client being used has any bearing upon this ... | 23:28 |
| i_ | It's whoever logs in first, has access - the remainder don't ... any ideas what this could be? | 23:28 |
| i_ | BTW: sbalneav and ogra helped me get access to local devices a couple of days back but I didn't realise at the time that the solution was only working for one client at a time! | 23:31 |
