| neil_d | how much memory does a client need ? | 01:34 |
|---|---|---|
| kgoetz | client== thin client? | 01:36 |
| kgoetz | 64mb memory iirc | 01:36 |
| neil_d | kgoetz: yes it does, thanks | 01:41 |
| * kgoetz uses 128, but thats because i had 128's handy | 01:49 | |
| carbon_unit | Hi all! | 01:49 |
| carbon_unit | I have an edubuntu question. | 01:50 |
| HedgeMage | carbon_unit: ask it and we might have an answer | 01:50 |
| carbon_unit | Can edubuntu be setup so that someone on the internet with a windows client can login to it? | 01:51 |
| carbon_unit | Like I can go home and login with a windows machine? | 01:51 |
| kgoetz | VNC of some sort? | 01:54 |
| neil_d | carbon_unit: I don't know, but one way is to make the home dual boot linux. | 01:54 |
| carbon_unit | Well I run Linux at home but the students may not have that option. | 01:55 |
| carbon_unit | But they can terminal serve in from the internet? | 01:56 |
| kgoetz | terminal service in your mind being...? | 01:56 |
| carbon_unit | from the internet they can get a login prompt and log into their account on the edubuntu server seeing their edubuntu desktop. | 01:57 |
| carbon_unit | or what can they do? | 01:57 |
| kgoetz | if you make the system available to the internet, and install something like vnc on it, they can | 01:57 |
| kgoetz | afk. putting our new work server in :) | 01:57 |
| kgoetz | back in a few hours | 01:58 |
| carbon_unit | So I don't really need LTSP to do this, VNC will work instead? | 01:59 |
| kgoetz | what your asking requires something other then ltsp | 02:00 |
| kgoetz | afaik | 02:00 |
| kgoetz | bug really gone now ;) | 02:00 |
| carbon_unit | Cool. Thanks! | 02:00 |
| carbon_unit | Laterz. | 02:02 |
| neil_d | is there a url that explains how to setup the server to run 64bit and the client 32bit ? | 02:07 |
| eljefe_ | can anyone tell me how to fix compiz on edubuntu? the apps always start blank | 04:39 |
| eljefe_ | i think it needs something added in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but i don't know what | 04:41 |
| neil_d | seen the artigo at www.mini-itx.com make a good ltsp terminal | 06:54 |
| lns | neil_d, for $358 USD?? Damn expensive thin client! =) | 07:04 |
| lns | it does look very slick though | 07:04 |
| Goosemoose | what are the stats on it? | 07:35 |
| Burgundavia | RichEd: finally getting around to adding your stuff to the fridge | 07:50 |
| RichEd | thanks Burgundavia ... much obliged | 07:59 |
| Burgundavia | no worries, sorry about the crazy delay | 08:05 |
| neil_d | lns: didn't say cheap | 08:11 |
| killsalad | hello i've got bit problem with ubuntu7.10 ltsp and local device access - on thin client everything is ok and server has all required software, but there's no directory with device content | 11:13 |
| ScorpFromHell | I need to install edubuntu on 100 machines of same config, can I use Ghost to copy the disk image to all the machines once I install it on one machine? | 11:39 |
| ScorpFromHell | Is there an OEM option for installing Edubuntu? | 11:45 |
| RichEd | ScorpFromHell: ghost should work fine | 11:47 |
| ScorpFromHell | Thanks RichEd | 11:48 |
| RichEd | ( try one before you do the whole batch :) | 11:48 |
| ScorpFromHell | RichEd, ofcourse :) NEver thought I would run into this problem this soon!!! | 11:51 |
| Jay-Oh-En | can anybody here help my friend ScorpFromHell install edubuntu on 100 pc's | 12:01 |
| ScorpFromHell | JAy-Oh-En, I tried asking here too :) RichEd let me know that Ghost can be tried out. | 12:02 |
| Jay-Oh-En | ok kool | 12:02 |
| `6og | or mondo, or preseeding | 12:02 |
| RichEd | ScorpFromHell: there is also an open source ghost equivalent ... if you want to go pure and side-step licence fees rather than avoid them | 12:02 |
| * `6og cant remember the name of the mass netinstall tools | 12:03 | |
| ScorpFromHell | RichEd, we have Ghost licenses, thats why I wanted to know if we could use that. We plan to donate our old machines to some schools :) | 12:04 |
| RichEd | ScorpFromHell: okay :) | 12:04 |
| RichEd | == channel note = there will not be an edubuntu meeting today == | 12:05 |
| RichEd | ( due to ogra not being available & RichEd on a half day and wrapping up for leave ) | 12:05 |
| `6og | heh. | 12:05 |
| `6og | ScorpFromHell, you should check out mondo too, just so if the schools ask you, you can give them an option | 12:06 |
| ScorpFromHell | `6og, let me check out mondo | 12:06 |
| `6og | ScorpFromHell, the version in dapper has nagware in it, but the later versions are all "clean" | 12:07 |
| `6og | wb | 12:08 |
| ScorpFromHell | btw, may be I should give a background about my group first :) | 12:08 |
| `6og | please do :) | 12:08 |
| ScorpFromHell | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linux-bangalore-non-tech/message/6991 has some deets | 12:08 |
| ScorpFromHell | in short, based in India, multiple locations | 12:09 |
| ScorpFromHell | aim to bring cheap ICT to schools | 12:09 |
| `6og | nice. | 12:09 |
| `6og | similar to what ITShare SA do ( http://www.itshare.org.au ) | 12:10 |
| ScorpFromHell | Wow!! That's a cool idea ... but not applicable in India :D people do not have much computers in the first place to donate in viable numbers | 12:11 |
| ScorpFromHell | still, I guess I could start something on those lines to get donations from the IT companies | 12:12 |
| `6og | its taken us almost a decade to get to where we are, but its finally starting to get bigger | 12:12 |
| Jay-Oh-En | you guys are amazing | 12:20 |
| `6og | hehe. | 12:20 |
| Jay-Oh-En | i wish i could do that here in vegas | 12:20 |
| ScorpFromHell | `6og, sorry ... got dc | 12:36 |
| ScorpFromHell | had a short blackout :( its the darn rains maybe | 12:37 |
| `6og | ScorpFromHell, no worries | 12:37 |
| pips1 | isn't there supposed to be a meeting now? | 12:47 |
| pips1 | did i miss it? | 12:48 |
| `6og | <RichEd> == channel note = there will not be an edubuntu meeting today == | 12:51 |
| `6og | <RichEd> ( due to ogra not being available & RichEd on a half day and wrapping up for leave ) | 12:51 |
| ScorpFromHell | When do the meetings happen? And what happens in those meetings? | 12:51 |
| pips1 | `6og: thanks | 12:51 |
| `6og | pips1, np | 12:52 |
| pips1 | ScorpFromHell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Community/MeetingAgenda | 12:53 |
| pips1 | in the first half we talk about ongoing development, in the second meeting half we talk about issues relevant to users of edubuntu | 12:54 |
| pips1 | got to run.. | 12:55 |
| pips1 | bye | 12:55 |
| ScorpFromHell | `6og, gotta go too ... will keep peeping in time to time :) | 13:01 |

| bddebian | HNeya | 14:46 |
| airjump | hi | 14:51 |
| skipper | Can someone help me with a problem? | 18:39 |
| ScorpFromHell | `6og, found a possible answer for my 100 m/c install issue ... http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-network-install | 19:19 |
| Goosemoose | has there been any progress on the integration with AD that's happening in hardy? | 22:45 |
| johnny | AD integration already works in linux for the most part i think | 22:46 |
| johnny | i assume that they are just going to make it a bit easier.. | 22:46 |
| stgraber | IIRC Ubuntu has a spec about using alternative authentication modules (ldap/ad/nis/...) and some tools are now there to make that easier to configure | 22:47 |
| johnny | hmm.. no idea.. | 22:47 |
| stgraber | mainly by creating profiles, then being able to switch between profiles | 22:47 |
| `6og | iirc there was a bug in libpam re AD | 22:47 |
| stgraber | auth-client-config and authtool that's (from a quick apt-cache search) | 22:48 |
| Goosemoose | i have ad integration setup by manually editing a bunch of conf files | 22:59 |
| Goosemoose | but there's an integration going into hardy that was making it a one liner | 22:59 |
| Goosemoose | i forget who was working on it now | 23:00 |
| Dante123 | Looking for some programmers http://sourceforge.net/projects/spellinator | 23:00 |
| Dante123 | looking for some programmers http://sourceforge.net/projects/spellinator | 23:00 |
| johnny | Dante123, for how much? | 23:34 |
| Dante123 | this is open source....gratis | 23:38 |
| Dante123 | but you'll sleep easy at night knowing you've done your part for literacy! | 23:38 |
| johnny | i get paid for open source | 23:44 |
| johnny | i work on the system level already.. to make the overall platform better | 23:45 |
| johnny | as well as various web apps | 23:45 |
| Dante123 | well, that's good. This is basically a program that teachers/parents would use with elementary school children... | 23:45 |
| johnny | i'm suprised edubuntu doesn't already have something like that | 23:46 |
| Dante123 | The original was made on an old mac using Hypercard.....I'd like to see the basic idea revived.... | 23:46 |
| johnny | yeah.. i'm just wondering if something already exists | 23:46 |
| Dante123 | I'm new to using sourceforge....so I put up there what I could.....no nothing quite like it exists. There are programs/sites that will give you activities similar to some of these....but not all of them...and they are canned...in other words you have to work with the words they give you. | 23:47 |
| Dante123 | The difference here is the control is put back into the teacher/parents hand.... | 23:48 |
| johnny | maybe you can get folks who are already working on edu apps to do it | 23:49 |
| johnny | like kde edu | 23:49 |
| Dante123 | So if you were doing a unit in a different subject- say social studies, you could pick words related to that....or if you want to focus on a prefix or suffix....there are word lists that come up and give you lists of words that fit the pattern....you select the ones you want. | 23:49 |
| Dante123 | I will try there. Thanks. | 23:49 |
| Dante123 | any other irc chat channels you think I should look into? | 23:50 |
| johnny | i don't know where the gnome edu folks hang out | 23:50 |
| johnny | or you could try building the app in the application called glom | 23:50 |
| johnny | it's sorta like MS access | 23:50 |
