| xor | does any one knor accessibility software for linux? | 00:19 |
| xor | know? | 00:19 |
| johnny | that's really generic | 00:19 |
| LaserJock | what kind of accessibility software? | 00:19 |
| johnny | accessibility is a HUGE topic | 00:19 |
| xor | ok, but a''m not looking for gnome/kde features | 00:20 |
| xor | i''m look for educacional application | 00:20 |
| LaserJock | for teaching students who have accessibility problems? | 00:20 |
| xor | yes | 00:21 |
| johnny | do you have an already existing app for an other OS that does what you want? | 00:21 |
| xor | yes, but none gpl | 00:22 |
| xor | here in Brazil public schools MUSt run gpl software | 00:23 |
| xor | that''s good, but not easy | 00:26 |
| xor | i found some:http://larswiki.atrc.utoronto.ca/wiki/Software | 00:27 |
| MagicFab | hey | 01:48 |
| MagicFab | I am having trouble starting an LTSP client | 01:48 |
| MagicFab | It get the X_SERVER=vesa config fine from lts.conf but the xorg.conf generated does not contain resolutions... so fails to start | 01:49 |
| MagicFab | any ideas how to go about this ? | 01:49 |
| moquist | MagicFab: is this gutsy? | 02:10 |
| MagicFab | gutsy it is | 02:26 |
| moquist | We're having thin clients at one site (feisty edubuntu servers, netier TCs with 64MB RAM, LOTS and LOTS of HPLJ4-era printers) freeze hard whenever they try to print from OpenOffice. Anybody else seeing that? | 03:54 |
| moquist | I know Jim Kronebusch was looking into something that sounds very similar (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2007-September/002398.html), but I don't see a resolution to the troubles he was having. | 03:54 |
| Tabina | hi got a trouble with the application load and unload.. an error in update | 07:27 |

| sbalneav | ogra: Ping, around for a few minutes? | 15:00 |
| ogra | sbalneav, indeed | 15:01 |
| ogra | always for you :) | 15:01 |
| ogra | i shouldnt have subscribed to ltsp-devel :) | 15:02 |
| sbalneav | Hey, so, as you know, I've been busy. Good news is: 3 of our core infrastructure machines are now ubuntu server... | 15:08 |
| sbalneav | bad news is: I'm not sure where we're at. :) | 15:09 |
| sbalneav | So, can you gimme a 2 minute overview of what trees I should be syncing from, and I'll get my big fat butt in gear? :) | 15:09 |
| ogra | https://launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream | 15:09 |
| ogra | we'll put all upstream trees under that | 15:10 |
| ogra | https://code.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ has currently only the merged debian/ubuntu tree | 15:10 |
| ogra | im waiting for agrant to sort out the ldm upstream tree as well | 15:10 |
| ogra | *vagrant | 15:10 |
| ogra | we'll have trunks for every app and branch off release branches if the merge is complete (read if warren committed and we have everythig stable) | 15:11 |
| ogra | so fixes can go into the release branches and developemnt should take place in the trunk branches | 15:12 |
| ogra | additionally we'll need branches for the debina dirs that we merge for packaging | 15:12 |
| sbalneav | ok | 15:15 |
| ogra | i'll rol a pre release tarball as soon as we have a stable ldm source | 15:17 |
| ogra | *roll | 15:17 |
| ogra | so we'll have the packaging in place etc :) | 15:18 |
| LaserRock | morning ogra and sbalneav | 15:33 |
| ogra | hey the Rock is here :) | 15:34 |
| === LaserRock is now known as LaserJock | ||
| LaserJock | ogra: got gcompris merged | 15:35 |
| ogra | yeah, saw that, thanks a lot ! | 15:36 |
| LaserJock | and got the .pot sent to carlos for Gutsy | 15:36 |
| LaserJock | so we'll see how it goes | 15:36 |
| LaserJock | I'm still not sure how they're gonna fix Gutsy | 15:36 |
| airjump | hello | 15:38 |
| ogra | hmm, looks like vagrants ldm source is fine with some changes | 15:39 |
| * ogra ponders to push it to LP | 15:40 | |
| LaserJock | ogra: wow, these youtube videos are really cool | 15:44 |
| ogra | yeah | 15:46 |
| ogra | i was pointed to the new ubuntu server campaign and they showed up in the list :) | 15:46 |
| LaserJock | I'm gonna write up a Fridge story for that | 15:46 |
| ogra | else i would never have found them | 15:46 |
| LaserJock | ogra: got a theme question for you | 16:30 |
| LaserJock | ogra: if we had a nautilus throbber (the little "I'm working" icon in the top right) would it be ok to install it in edubuntu-artwork? | 16:31 |
| ogra | hmm, i would hav to look at the code not sure thats a themeable itsm | 16:32 |
| LaserJock | you just drop the icons in to the icon folders | 16:32 |
| LaserJock | _MMA_ built one for Edubuntu | 16:33 |
| LaserJock | it's kinda cool | 16:33 |
| LaserJock | ogra: you just drop the throbber in /usr/share/icons/gartoon/<size>/animations/ | 16:34 |
| ogra | ah | 16:35 |
| ogra | well, indeed, then it shojld go into e-a | 16:35 |
| LaserJock | k | 16:36 |
| LaserJock | cool | 16:36 |
| LaserJock | he's still perfecting the speed, etc. | 16:36 |
| LaserJock | but I just tried it out and it's nice | 16:36 |
| ogra | well, there is still plenty of time until artwork freeze ;) | 16:37 |
| LaserJock | hehe, yes | 16:38 |
| scrapbunny | i am thinking of switching to the 64 bit version of edubuntu 7.10 so i can increase to memory on my thin client server. any thoughts on this? | 19:23 |
| ogra | why not just use a -server kernel | 19:25 |
| ogra | and dont have the hassle with 64bit firefox and friends | 19:25 |
| scrapbunny | could you point me to info on getting and setting up the kernel | 19:26 |
| LaserJock | scrapbunny: you can see what kernel you presently have (linux-image-<something>) and then look for the one with -server | 19:28 |
| ogra | sudo apt-get install linux-image-server | 19:28 |
| LaserJock | actually yeah | 19:28 |
| LaserJock | ogra: or apt-get install linux-server perhaps? | 19:29 |
| LaserJock | if you need l-r-m | 19:29 |
| ogra | right | 19:29 |
| Joris_ | ogra! | 19:33 |
| ogra | hey | 19:33 |
| ogra | :) | 19:33 |
| Joris_ | I think my update to gutsy b°rked my tftp root :( | 19:33 |
| scrapbunny | thanks i will go check | 19:33 |
| ogra | tftp ? | 19:33 |
| Joris_ | yes | 19:34 |
| Joris_ | (for ltsp) | 19:34 |
| Joris_ | it changed locations, didn't it? | 19:34 |
| ogra | between feisty and gutsy ? no | 19:34 |
| Joris_ | from /opt to /var/lib/tftpboot ? | 19:34 |
| ogra | no | 19:34 |
| Joris_ | hmm | 19:35 |
| ogra | it was always /var/lib/tftpboot for tftp | 19:35 |
| Joris_ | strange | 19:35 |
| Joris_ | tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -v -v -v -s /opt | 19:35 |
| Joris_ | that's not good, then | 19:35 |
| Joris_ | (but it works) | 19:35 |
| ogra | and /opt/ltsp/i386 (nfs) or /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img for the rootfs | 19:35 |
| Joris_ | and where should the lts.conf reside? | 19:36 |
| ogra | in the tftp root | 19:36 |
| ogra | actually /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf | 19:36 |
| Joris_ | in the root of the tftp root? | 19:37 |
| Joris_ | ah | 19:37 |
| ogra | but sicne you pont ot /opt that would be /opt/ltsp/i386/lts.conf | 19:37 |
| ogra | *point to | 19:37 |
| Joris_ | indeed | 19:37 |
| Joris_ | my /var/lib/tftpboot is not functional - is there an easy way to regenerate it? | 19:38 |
| ogra | fix inetd.conf first | 19:38 |
| Joris_ | I'm not sure what it's missing.. I can't access the system right now | 19:38 |
| ogra | tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot | 19:38 |
| Joris_ | (can't boot a client) | 19:38 |
| ogra | that should be the line | 19:38 |
| ogra | then run ltsp-update-kernels | 19:39 |
| ogra | that should be all | 19:39 |
| ogra | -v -v -v idicates you once changed that manually for debugging | 19:39 |
| Joris_ | yep | 19:39 |
| Joris_ | but I don't recall changing it to /opt, just the verbose options | 19:40 |
| Joris_ | I'm going to change it and hope things will work smoothly tomorrow ;) | 19:43 |
| ogra | i'll be around from 11 on ... | 19:44 |
| ogra | so if it fails feel free to hunt me donw | 19:44 |
| effie_jayx | ogra, hello :D, I meant to ask about an image request I did a few weeks ago | 19:49 |
| ogra | effie_jayx, intel has the image since last weeks monday | 19:50 |
| ogra | they should distribute it | 19:50 |
| effie_jayx | ogra, ok | 19:50 |
| scrapbunny | hi i'm back. can i run sudo apt-get install linux-image-server from a client or should i run it on the server itself? | 20:03 |
| gfx | hello | 20:26 |
| gfx | anyone know of a way to add users to edubuntu for profile based logins on thin clients? | 20:27 |
| gfx | i can add a user | 20:27 |
| gfx | and then remove access to unwanted applications manually | 20:27 |
| joebob777as7 | I put a new motherboard processor ram and video card in my aunt's system and it seems to be acting peculiarly. do i need to reinstall ubuntu or should it have updated itself automatically or do i have to rebuild kernel or something else? | 20:31 |
| stgraber | joebob777as7: only thing that could be a problem is the video card, what was the manufacturer of the previous one and what's the one of the new one ? | 20:32 |
| joebob777as7 | stgraber, both nvidia but last was agp and new is pci-e | 20:32 |
| stgraber | driver should be the same (if that's gutsy I don't think we have nvidia and nvidia-new anymore, only nvidia) | 20:33 |
| stgraber | what kind of problem do you experience ? | 20:33 |
| joebob777as7 | well she is saying that sometimes it will pretty much come to a halt and she'll go to shutdown and it won't do it and it's pretty slow at that point | 20:35 |
| stgraber | hmm, it would be interesting to have the list of running processus and amount of free ram at this point | 20:36 |
| stgraber | do you know if there is a bigger HDD activity at this point (swapping) ? | 20:37 |
| joebob777as7 | no but i'm kind of thinking the hard drive is going bad it makes a ton of noise but not bad noise and the utility marks it clean. | 20:39 |
| gfx | but then having to do that for every new user is a pain in the $#% | 20:40 |
| stgraber | ogra: italc 1.0.4 is out :) | 21:27 |
