[09:26] <i__> Hello, is there anyone around to help out?
[16:31] <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
[16:34] <ogra> the server CD is the alternative CD
[16:34] <sunnybg> ogra, thanks
[16:34] <ogra> :)
[18:41] <sbalneav> Afternoon all
[18:48] <stgraber> ogra, sbalneav: got my baggage :) will be back in 15 minutes
[18:49] <ogra> yay
[18:51] <sbalneav> stgraber: Yay!
[18:53] <stgraber> ogra, sbalneav,RichEd: Which room are you in ?
[18:53] <sbalneav> Well, I'm up in the hotel room.
[18:54] <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
[20:13] <sbalneav> Back
[20:15] <dtrask> moquist: are you coming down today?
[20:21] <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.
[20:22] <ogra__> heh
[20:23] <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 :)
[20:26] <sbalneav> And one just to look tres sexy :)
[20:27] <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> ?
[20:28] <sbalneav> Hmm
[20:28] <ogra> not working ?
[20:28] <sbalneav> Well, I've used phpgroupware quite a bit
[20:29] <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?
[20:30] <effie_jayx> sbalneav,  intel wants some desktop app
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <effie_jayx> so I am thinking of going desktop app
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <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 :)
[20:36] <effie_jayx> ogra,  we just started yesterday
[20:37] <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
[20:39] <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
[20:40] <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 $22
[20:41] <moquist> dtrask: turns out I'm not driving down. My wife's gonna drop me off so my car can get repaired during the week.
[20:41] <moquist> dtrask: My wife will pick me up and I'll get my car and drive myself up to BTS.
[20:41] <ogra> why did you break it in the first place ?
[20:42] <moquist> Just trying a little automotive hack, you know... the compiler had a bug I didn't know about, and before you knew it I had no more brakes. *shrug*
[20:42] <ogra> heh
[20:42] <ogra> who needs breakes if there are anchors
[20:43] <moquist> I got the cheap model without the anchors. :( :( :(
[20:43] <moquist> LaserJock: LASERJOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:43] <ogra> ah, indeed, adding that as extra costs extra
[20:44] <moquist> I thought about an aftermarket anchor, but they're usually made of cheap plastic and they break off on telephone poles, other cars, pedestrians, small pets, etc.
[20:44] <moquist> Oh - gotta get my car to the mechanic by 5. Gotta run. :)
[20:44] <ogra> see you :)
[20:44] <LaserJock> hi moquist
[20:44] <LaserJock> bye moquist
[20:44] <ogra> heh
[20:44] <LaserJock> good afternoon ogra
[20:44] <effie_jayx> ogra,  the CM has a pen with which people can write and that appears on screen
[20:45] <sbalneav> moquist: Yes I am
[20:45] <ogra> there is an app
[20:45] <ogra> effie_jayx, i'm supposed to get that these days from intel, it will be included in the edubuntu image
[20:45] <dtrask> LaserJock: are you here?  Or there?
[20:45] <ogra> dtrask, he's there :(
[20:45] <LaserJock> dtrask: there
[20:45] <LaserJock> anybody got xaos installed?
[20:46] <dtrask> LaserJock: damn!
[20:46]  * ogra raises hand
[20:46] <LaserJock> I need a test of xaos -fullscreen
[20:46] <ogra> ogra@laptop:~$ 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
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <LaserJock> are they hiding somewhere or have they not be registered yet?
[20:48] <stgraber> not been registered AFAIK
[20:49] <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
[20:51] <ogra> LaserJock, only bug 117568 even though i'm not sure bug 135904 is related
[20:52] <ogra> hmmm
[20:52] <dtrask> ogra: What's your title with Canonical?
[20:52]  * ogra looks for ubotu
[20:52] <dtrask> ogra: blogging
[20:53] <LaserJock> ogra: ubotu's been dying lately
[20:56]  * LaserJock is afk for a while, leave a message ;-)
[20:57] <dtrask> ogra: What's Colin's official title?  (feel free to make one up)
[20:59] <ogra> dtrask, which colin ?
[20:59] <ogra> watson ?
[21:02] <sbalneav> LaserJock: I'm updating to gutsy on the laptop now.  Want me to dig into the Xaos bug after that?
[21:05] <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, ...) :)
[21:18] <sbalneav> stgraber: heh, well, I'm gutsy at work and at home, but my laptop seems to have been left behind.
[21:32] <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!
[21:33] <dtrask> Know issue with this System76 lappy, but no one knows how to fix yet
[22:55] <i> Hello, anyone available?
[22:56] <i_> Hello, anyone available?
[23:24] <cmonkey> indeed
[23:26] <i_> Hello?
[23:26] <i_> cmonkey: Hello?
[23:26] <cmonkey> hello...
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <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?
[23:31] <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!
