[00:47] morning all :D [01:43] hi all. I added some ideas to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ltsp-software-management, comments welcome [01:47] what's that === subir_ is now known as subir === meduxa is now known as toscalix [12:16] has anyone tried to install FL_teacher tool in ltsp5 ubuntu? [12:37] yo [12:49] ari_stress, that comes setup by default in a server mode installtion of Edubuntu (both LTSP & FL_teacher) [12:49] ari_stress, is there a specific reason why you need to setup LTSP on Ubuntu & not go with Edubuntu? [12:51] owww [12:52] that's nice to know ScorpFromHell [12:52] hmmm [12:52] i guess i should setup edubuntu [12:52] no reason actually [12:53] 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] also ari_stress, get the server CD, the desktop one doesn't have LTSP & FL_teacher [12:55] ok, server CD. got it [12:59] ari_stress, there's however a small flaw that you need to fix before you can bask in LTSP glory [13:00] you need to edit /etc/ltsp/dhcp.conf to suit your network [13:00] i have my dhcp.conf works currently [13:01] 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 [13:10] ok, i'm downloading it. looks like it takes 2 days to download the 2 cds [13:12] ari_stress, haven't tried out LTSP with LDAP yet, was planning it as my next step [13:12] thanks for letting me know, I will be on the lookout for issues :) [13:12] ScorpFromHell: not really difficult, especiall when using auth-client-config [13:12] very convenient [13:13] i'm lucky as the package has just been release on 12 dec 07 [13:13] previously we must edit pam.d manually [13:14] i gtg now [13:14] see you all, ScorpFromHell [15:10] hello [15:10] could anyonme help me with a video prob [15:10] d/l mplayer but I'm getting errords [16:23] Heya [17:00] wow, anyone here? [17:04] anybody tell me how to install a .bin file? [20:31] 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. [20:32] 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] it's not much diff than regular ubuntu, except with other apps installed [20:32] so you could just install ubuntu and then all the edu apps you want [20:33] oh ok [20:33] is the regular version of ubuntu with gnome recommended? [20:34] uhmm.. by who? [20:34] and vs what? [20:34] vs the kde version, im wondering what would be better for a child [20:34] easier to use I guess [20:34] Zarxrax: Yes, I have set both ubuntu and edubuntu up on lappies before [20:35] I'm not yet a linux user myself [20:35] then are you sure you should be giving linux to your sister? [20:35] not that i don't try to promote linux wherever i can... [20:35] if i give her windows, i know there will be headaches :p [20:35] but you really should use it yourself first imo [20:35] Zarxrax: The main difference between Edubuntu and regular ubuntu is the art, selection of programs, etc [20:35] otherwise you're going to have headaches learning all sorts of new stuff [20:36] HedgeMage is here o.O [20:36] at least you already know the windows headaches [20:36] pygi: yes :) [20:36] the old crew is almost back o.O [20:36] i'd suggest you get your own linux install going before giving it to her [20:36] and, i would suggest gnome over kde [20:36] but that's personal preference [20:37] oh, and one more thing you get with Edubuntu is Edubuntu Handbook :P [20:37] * pygi hides [20:37] well, i'll set it up to dual boot, in case linux doesnt work out for her [20:38] i want to learn about it myself [20:38] Zarxrax: I'd suggest edubuntu above other distros for a 10yo -- just expect to have some learning to do too [20:38] I cant use linux on my own pc, since I really need windows for many of the things i do [20:38] Zarxrax: there's this nice thing called dual boot [20:38] you should try it sometimes :) [20:38] heh [20:39] booting into different os's would screw up all my stuff like webserver, torrents, etc [20:40] heh, and ofcourse all that does not and cannot work on linux :P [20:40] [20:41] give him a break, guys -- one step at a time :) [20:41] * pygi eats HedgeMage [20:41] well i mean, constantly swapping back and forth would make it problematic [20:41] ooh! [20:42] anyways, ill give regular ubuntu a shot and see how it works out [20:43] Zarxrax: good luck, we're here for questions and such [20:44] Zarxrax, also, vmware or virtualbox can help [20:44] so you could run a linux install inside windows [20:44] or vice versa [20:44] yup, what johnny said ... vbox is probably easier for a new folks [20:44] new folk* === bluekuja_ is now known as bluekuja [20:44] bluekuja: you as well o.O [20:44] actually, i've tried that in vmware, and could never get it to work [20:45] Zarxrax: try virtual box [20:45] the graphics would be garbled or something [20:45] and ask if you have questions [20:45] pygi, OMG [20:45] pygi, are you up again?? [20:45] would virtual pc work? I have that installed now [20:45] bluekuja: I'm not on Mount Everest, no! [20:46] pygi, lol [20:46] i don't know [20:46] never used virtualpc [20:46] Zarxrax: that's that Microsoft stuff? [20:46] pygi, long time no see, where did you go? [20:46] yes [20:46] i dont' have any windows installed [20:46] anywhere [20:46] no idea of it's linux support :-/ [20:46] don't use windows sorry [20:46] bluekuja: I was always somewhere on the face of the Earth [20:46] ok, well thanks for the help guys [20:47] yw, drop by any time [20:47] be aware of this bluekuja folk tho ... biting and such :P [20:47] * pygi hides [20:47] /kick pygi [20:47] :) [20:47] oh damn, you're hidden! [20:47] it won't work [20:48] well, most of the old edubuntu edition seems to be here =) [20:48] yep! mhz is missing [20:48] but I saw him some days ago around here again! what a surprise! [20:48] pete is also not around much anymore [20:48] oh well [20:48] times change [20:49] yeah :/ [20:49] I don't see pete since months [20:49] I could sms him to come online, but he's probably busy now [20:50] he's not on msn anymore as well [20:50] maybe he's busy with family and his work on that school [20:50] he is, yes [20:51] aww :/ [20:52] pygi, news from brasero? [20:52] are you working on it? [20:52] ah, not anymore, no [20:52] why? [20:52] but Philipe (less, baby :)) and Luis are doing good work on it [20:52] I thought you were the main developer [20:52] well, I moved to lower spheres ... changing way how burning works on linux ;) [20:54] bluekuja: http://libburnia-project.org [20:55] 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] pygi, oh cool! what do you do now? [20:55] bluekuja: I just gave you url :P [20:55] pygi, yeah, I mean for *buntu [20:55] oh, nothing [20:56] oh k :) [20:56] too much things changed .... years passed even [20:57] I did work for ubuntu during the Google Summer of Code tho [20:57] pygi, will you start again somewhen? [20:57] no idea ... why? [20:57] there are a lot of contributors now in general to ubuntu, things are not as before [20:57] and I do more work upstream [20:58] yeah, I think thats enough from your side [20:58] you gonna rediscover the burning-side of Linux [20:58] ehehe [20:59] :p [20:59] doing some ruby work lately, and such :) [20:59] it's fun :P [21:00] pygi, do you still live near me? [21:00] hehe, yes :P [21:01] we'll have to meet up [21:01] :) [21:01] you said that few years ago xD [21:02] lol [21:02] no time, uni and hacking getting in a way :-/ [21:02] I cant even attend FOSDEM :( [21:02] same here, too many things to do [21:02] if you'll come to a DebConf [21:02] we'll meet there [21:03] nop, probably not [21:03] why? [21:03] *possibly* GUADEC [21:03] 1) No idea when or where is DebConf [21:03] 2) Gotta save money for GUADEC [21:04] lol [21:04] anyway, lets go pm xD [21:04] thiis is edubuntu channel, not debconf or random talk channel :P [21:05] true :) [21:05] reminds me [21:05] little fish left! [21:05] omg :( [21:05] anybody know of any projects/chats where non distro folks get together to work on projects that are not all necessarily related? [21:06] explain? :P [21:28] 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] any idea how I can do that ? [21:40] pygi, i'll explain a bit later, i realize i'm going to late to an appointment [21:41] k joh [23:51] hi everybody [23:51] is there a way to use JACK on a thin client?
