=== ktetch is now known as K`Tetch [01:34] how much memory does a client need ? [01:36] client== thin client? [01:36] 64mb memory iirc [01:41] kgoetz: yes it does, thanks [01:49] * kgoetz uses 128, but thats because i had 128's handy [01:49] Hi all! [01:50] I have an edubuntu question. [01:50] carbon_unit: ask it and we might have an answer [01:51] Can edubuntu be setup so that someone on the internet with a windows client can login to it? [01:51] Like I can go home and login with a windows machine? [01:54] VNC of some sort? [01:54] carbon_unit: I don't know, but one way is to make the home dual boot linux. [01:55] Well I run Linux at home but the students may not have that option. [01:56] But they can terminal serve in from the internet? [01:56] terminal service in your mind being...? [01:57] from the internet they can get a login prompt and log into their account on the edubuntu server seeing their edubuntu desktop. [01:57] or what can they do? [01:57] if you make the system available to the internet, and install something like vnc on it, they can [01:57] afk. putting our new work server in :) [01:58] back in a few hours [01:59] So I don't really need LTSP to do this, VNC will work instead? [02:00] what your asking requires something other then ltsp [02:00] afaik [02:00] bug really gone now ;) [02:00] Cool. Thanks! [02:02] Laterz. [02:07] is there a url that explains how to setup the server to run 64bit and the client 32bit ? [04:39] can anyone tell me how to fix compiz on edubuntu? the apps always start blank [04:41] i think it needs something added in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but i don't know what [06:54] seen the artigo at www.mini-itx.com make a good ltsp terminal [07:04] neil_d, for $358 USD?? Damn expensive thin client! =) [07:04] it does look very slick though [07:35] what are the stats on it? [07:50] RichEd: finally getting around to adding your stuff to the fridge [07:59] thanks Burgundavia ... much obliged [08:05] no worries, sorry about the crazy delay [08:11] lns: didn't say cheap [11:13] 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 [11:39] 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? [11:45] Is there an OEM option for installing Edubuntu? [11:47] ScorpFromHell: ghost should work fine [11:48] Thanks RichEd [11:48] ( try one before you do the whole batch :) [11:51] RichEd, ofcourse :) NEver thought I would run into this problem this soon!!! [12:01] can anybody here help my friend ScorpFromHell install edubuntu on 100 pc's [12:02] JAy-Oh-En, I tried asking here too :) RichEd let me know that Ghost can be tried out. [12:02] ok kool [12:02] <`6og> or mondo, or preseeding [12:02] ScorpFromHell: there is also an open source ghost equivalent ... if you want to go pure and side-step licence fees rather than avoid them [12:03] * `6og cant remember the name of the mass netinstall tools [12:04] 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] ScorpFromHell: okay :) [12:05] == channel note = there will not be an edubuntu meeting today == [12:05] ( due to ogra not being available & RichEd on a half day and wrapping up for leave ) [12:05] <`6og> heh. [12:06] <`6og> ScorpFromHell, you should check out mondo too, just so if the schools ask you, you can give them an option [12:06] `6og, let me check out mondo [12:07] <`6og> ScorpFromHell, the version in dapper has nagware in it, but the later versions are all "clean" [12:08] <`6og> wb [12:08] btw, may be I should give a background about my group first :) [12:08] <`6og> please do :) [12:08] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linux-bangalore-non-tech/message/6991 has some deets [12:09] in short, based in India, multiple locations [12:09] aim to bring cheap ICT to schools [12:09] <`6og> nice. [12:10] <`6og> similar to what ITShare SA do ( http://www.itshare.org.au ) [12:11] 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 [12:12] 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 [12:20] you guys are amazing [12:20] <`6og> hehe. [12:20] i wish i could do that here in vegas [12:36] `6og, sorry ... got dc [12:37] had a short blackout :( its the darn rains maybe [12:37] <`6og> ScorpFromHell, no worries [12:47] isn't there supposed to be a meeting now? [12:48] did i miss it? [12:51] <`6og> == channel note = there will not be an edubuntu meeting today == [12:51] <`6og> ( due to ogra not being available & RichEd on a half day and wrapping up for leave ) [12:51] When do the meetings happen? And what happens in those meetings? [12:51] `6og: thanks [12:52] <`6og> pips1, np [12:53] ScorpFromHell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Community/MeetingAgenda [12:54] in the first half we talk about ongoing development, in the second meeting half we talk about issues relevant to users of edubuntu [12:55] got to run.. [12:55] bye [13:01] `6og, gotta go too ... will keep peeping in time to time :) [13:02] <`6og> ScorpFromHell, look forward to seeing you again :) [14:46] HNeya [14:51] hi [18:39] Can someone help me with a problem? [19:19] `6og, found a possible answer for my 100 m/c install issue ... http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-unattended-ubuntu-network-install [22:45] has there been any progress on the integration with AD that's happening in hardy? [22:46] AD integration already works in linux for the most part i think [22:46] i assume that they are just going to make it a bit easier.. [22:47] 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] hmm.. no idea.. [22:47] mainly by creating profiles, then being able to switch between profiles [22:47] <`6og> iirc there was a bug in libpam re AD [22:48] auth-client-config and authtool that's (from a quick apt-cache search) [22:59] i have ad integration setup by manually editing a bunch of conf files [22:59] but there's an integration going into hardy that was making it a one liner [23:00] i forget who was working on it now [23:00] Looking for some programmers http://sourceforge.net/projects/spellinator [23:00] looking for some programmers http://sourceforge.net/projects/spellinator [23:34] Dante123, for how much? [23:38] this is open source....gratis [23:38] but you'll sleep easy at night knowing you've done your part for literacy! [23:44] i get paid for open source [23:45] i work on the system level already.. to make the overall platform better [23:45] as well as various web apps [23:45] well, that's good. This is basically a program that teachers/parents would use with elementary school children... [23:46] i'm suprised edubuntu doesn't already have something like that [23:46] The original was made on an old mac using Hypercard.....I'd like to see the basic idea revived.... [23:46] yeah.. i'm just wondering if something already exists [23:47] 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. [23:48] The difference here is the control is put back into the teacher/parents hand.... [23:49] maybe you can get folks who are already working on edu apps to do it [23:49] like kde edu [23:49] 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] I will try there. Thanks. [23:50] any other irc chat channels you think I should look into? [23:50] i don't know where the gnome edu folks hang out [23:50] or you could try building the app in the application called glom [23:50] it's sorta like MS access
