ari_stress | morning all :D | 00:47 |

ace_suares | hi all. I added some ideas to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ltsp-software-management, comments welcome | 01:43 |
ari_stress | what's that | 01:47 |
=== subir_ is now known as subir | ||

ari_stress | has anyone tried to install FL_teacher tool in ltsp5 ubuntu? | 12:16 |
pygi | yo | 12:37 |
ScorpFromHell | ari_stress, that comes setup by default in a server mode installtion of Edubuntu (both LTSP & FL_teacher) | 12:49 |
ScorpFromHell | ari_stress, is there a specific reason why you need to setup LTSP on Ubuntu & not go with Edubuntu? | 12:49 |
ari_stress | owww | 12:51 |
ari_stress | that's nice to know ScorpFromHell | 12:52 |
ari_stress | hmmm | 12:52 |
ari_stress | i guess i should setup edubuntu | 12:52 |
ari_stress | no reason actually | 12:52 |
ScorpFromHell | ari_stress, just remember to download the server addon CD too irrespective of whether you want to install it from the desktop CD or the server CD | 12:53 |
ScorpFromHell | also ari_stress, get the server CD, the desktop one doesn't have LTSP & FL_teacher | 12:53 |
ari_stress | ok, server CD. got it | 12:55 |
ScorpFromHell | ari_stress, there's however a small flaw that you need to fix before you can bask in LTSP glory | 12:59 |
ScorpFromHell | you need to edit /etc/ltsp/dhcp.conf to suit your network | 13:00 |
ari_stress | i have my dhcp.conf works currently | 13:00 |
ari_stress | actually the ltsp5 works ok now. my ltsp is authenticated to ldap. this is the problem. ldap user is not seen in thin client manager / fl_teachertook | 13:01 |
ari_stress | ok, i'm downloading it. looks like it takes 2 days to download the 2 cds | 13:10 |
ScorpFromHell | ari_stress, haven't tried out LTSP with LDAP yet, was planning it as my next step | 13:12 |
ScorpFromHell | thanks for letting me know, I will be on the lookout for issues :) | 13:12 |
ari_stress | ScorpFromHell: not really difficult, especiall when using auth-client-config | 13:12 |
ari_stress | very convenient | 13:12 |
ari_stress | i'm lucky as the package has just been release on 12 dec 07 | 13:13 |
ari_stress | previously we must edit pam.d manually | 13:13 |
ari_stress | i gtg now | 13:14 |
ari_stress | see you all, ScorpFromHell | 13:14 |
me4u | hello | 15:10 |

adelie | wow, anyone here? | 17:00 |
me4u | anybody tell me how to install a .bin file? | 17:04 |
Zarxrax | hi, I was wondering if edubuntu is appropriate for installing on a home laptop? The website sounds like its primarily for use in a school setting. | 20:31 |
Zarxrax | We are getting a laptop for my younger sister who is 10 years old, and I am looking for an appropriate linux distribution | 20:32 |
johnny | it's not much diff than regular ubuntu, except with other apps installed | 20:32 |
johnny | so you could just install ubuntu and then all the edu apps you want | 20:32 |
Zarxrax | oh ok | 20:33 |
Zarxrax | is the regular version of ubuntu with gnome recommended? | 20:33 |
johnny | uhmm.. by who? | 20:34 |
johnny | and vs what? | 20:34 |
Zarxrax | vs the kde version, im wondering what would be better for a child | 20:34 |
Zarxrax | easier to use I guess | 20:34 |
HedgeMage | Zarxrax: Yes, I have set both ubuntu and edubuntu up on lappies before | 20:34 |
Zarxrax | I'm not yet a linux user myself | 20:35 |
johnny | then are you sure you should be giving linux to your sister? | 20:35 |
johnny | not that i don't try to promote linux wherever i can... | 20:35 |
Zarxrax | if i give her windows, i know there will be headaches :p | 20:35 |
johnny | but you really should use it yourself first imo | 20:35 |
HedgeMage | Zarxrax: The main difference between Edubuntu and regular ubuntu is the art, selection of programs, etc | 20:35 |
johnny | otherwise you're going to have headaches learning all sorts of new stuff | 20:35 |
pygi | HedgeMage is here o.O | 20:36 |
johnny | at least you already know the windows headaches | 20:36 |
HedgeMage | pygi: yes :) | 20:36 |
pygi | the old crew is almost back o.O | 20:36 |
johnny | i'd suggest you get your own linux install going before giving it to her | 20:36 |
johnny | and, i would suggest gnome over kde | 20:36 |
johnny | but that's personal preference | 20:36 |
pygi | oh, and one more thing you get with Edubuntu is Edubuntu Handbook :P | 20:37 |
* pygi hides | 20:37 | |
Zarxrax | well, i'll set it up to dual boot, in case linux doesnt work out for her | 20:37 |
Zarxrax | i want to learn about it myself | 20:38 |
HedgeMage | Zarxrax: I'd suggest edubuntu above other distros for a 10yo -- just expect to have some learning to do too | 20:38 |
Zarxrax | I cant use linux on my own pc, since I really need windows for many of the things i do | 20:38 |
pygi | Zarxrax: there's this nice thing called dual boot | 20:38 |
pygi | you should try it sometimes :) | 20:38 |
HedgeMage | heh | 20:38 |
Zarxrax | booting into different os's would screw up all my stuff like webserver, torrents, etc | 20:39 |
pygi | heh, and ofcourse all that does not and cannot work on linux :P | 20:40 |
pygi | </sarcasm> | 20:40 |
HedgeMage | give him a break, guys -- one step at a time :) | 20:41 |
* pygi eats HedgeMage | 20:41 | |
Zarxrax | well i mean, constantly swapping back and forth would make it problematic | 20:41 |
HedgeMage | ooh! | 20:41 |
Zarxrax | anyways, ill give regular ubuntu a shot and see how it works out | 20:42 |
HedgeMage | Zarxrax: good luck, we're here for questions and such | 20:43 |
johnny | Zarxrax, also, vmware or virtualbox can help | 20:44 |
johnny | so you could run a linux install inside windows | 20:44 |
johnny | or vice versa | 20:44 |
pygi | yup, what johnny said ... vbox is probably easier for a new folks | 20:44 |
pygi | new folk* | 20:44 |
=== bluekuja_ is now known as bluekuja | ||
pygi | bluekuja: you as well o.O | 20:44 |
Zarxrax | actually, i've tried that in vmware, and could never get it to work | 20:44 |
pygi | Zarxrax: try virtual box | 20:45 |
Zarxrax | the graphics would be garbled or something | 20:45 |
pygi | and ask if you have questions | 20:45 |
bluekuja | pygi, OMG | 20:45 |
bluekuja | pygi, are you up again?? | 20:45 |
Zarxrax | would virtual pc work? I have that installed now | 20:45 |
pygi | bluekuja: I'm not on Mount Everest, no! | 20:45 |
bluekuja | pygi, lol | 20:46 |
johnny | i don't know | 20:46 |
johnny | never used virtualpc | 20:46 |
pygi | Zarxrax: that's that Microsoft stuff? | 20:46 |
bluekuja | pygi, long time no see, where did you go? | 20:46 |
Zarxrax | yes | 20:46 |
johnny | i dont' have any windows installed | 20:46 |
johnny | anywhere | 20:46 |
pygi | no idea of it's linux support :-/ | 20:46 |
pygi | don't use windows sorry | 20:46 |
pygi | bluekuja: I was always somewhere on the face of the Earth | 20:46 |
Zarxrax | ok, well thanks for the help guys | 20:46 |
pygi | yw, drop by any time | 20:47 |
pygi | be aware of this bluekuja folk tho ... biting and such :P | 20:47 |
* pygi hides | 20:47 | |
bluekuja | /kick pygi | 20:47 |
bluekuja | :) | 20:47 |
bluekuja | oh damn, you're hidden! | 20:47 |
bluekuja | it won't work | 20:47 |
pygi | well, most of the old edubuntu edition seems to be here =) | 20:48 |
bluekuja | yep! mhz is missing | 20:48 |
bluekuja | but I saw him some days ago around here again! what a surprise! | 20:48 |
pygi | pete is also not around much anymore | 20:48 |
pygi | oh well | 20:48 |
pygi | times change | 20:48 |
bluekuja | yeah :/ | 20:49 |
bluekuja | I don't see pete since months | 20:49 |
pygi | I could sms him to come online, but he's probably busy now | 20:49 |
bluekuja | he's not on msn anymore as well | 20:50 |
bluekuja | maybe he's busy with family and his work on that school | 20:50 |
pygi | he is, yes | 20:50 |
bluekuja | aww :/ | 20:51 |
bluekuja | pygi, news from brasero? | 20:52 |
bluekuja | are you working on it? | 20:52 |
pygi | ah, not anymore, no | 20:52 |
bluekuja | why? | 20:52 |
pygi | but Philipe (less, baby :)) and Luis are doing good work on it | 20:52 |
bluekuja | I thought you were the main developer | 20:52 |
pygi | well, I moved to lower spheres ... changing way how burning works on linux ;) | 20:52 |
pygi | bluekuja: http://libburnia-project.org | 20:54 |
pygi | bluekuja: not really, I just worked on it a bit.... back then Phillipe was main developer (and basically still is) since he founded a project | 20:55 |
bluekuja | pygi, oh cool! what do you do now? | 20:55 |
pygi | bluekuja: I just gave you url :P | 20:55 |
bluekuja | pygi, yeah, I mean for *buntu | 20:55 |
pygi | oh, nothing | 20:55 |
bluekuja | oh k :) | 20:56 |
pygi | too much things changed .... years passed even | 20:56 |
pygi | I did work for ubuntu during the Google Summer of Code tho | 20:57 |
bluekuja | pygi, will you start again somewhen? | 20:57 |
pygi | no idea ... why? | 20:57 |
pygi | there are a lot of contributors now in general to ubuntu, things are not as before | 20:57 |
pygi | and I do more work upstream | 20:57 |
bluekuja | yeah, I think thats enough from your side | 20:58 |
bluekuja | you gonna rediscover the burning-side of Linux | 20:58 |
bluekuja | ehehe | 20:58 |
pygi | :p | 20:59 |
pygi | doing some ruby work lately, and such :) | 20:59 |

bluekuja | if you'll come to a DebConf | 21:02 |
bluekuja | we'll meet there | 21:02 |
pygi | nop, probably not | 21:03 |
bluekuja | why? | 21:03 |
pygi | *possibly* GUADEC | 21:03 |
pygi | 1) No idea when or where is DebConf | 21:03 |

pygi | explain? :P | 21:06 |
stgraber | anyone familiar with python subprocess module here ? I would like to 1) store the stdout of a command in a variable (works fine with stdin=subprocess.PIPE) 2) and that's the problem, I'd like to show the output live in the terminal too | 21:28 |
stgraber | any idea how I can do that ? | 21:28 |
johnny | pygi, i'll explain a bit later, i realize i'm going to late to an appointment | 21:40 |
