| lns | Just wondering, are questions portable in this chan for ubuntu/ltsp ? Or should it be strictly edubuntu installs only (since they are so similar post-install)? | 02:15 |
|---|---|---|
| kgoetz | you could probably ask here | 02:16 |
| johnny | but #ltsp itself would be good too | 02:28 |
| johnny | you'd prolly get more assistance there | 02:28 |
| johnny | especially since you can rely on debian folks assistance too in many cases | 02:29 |
| kgoetz | (note, thats not an invite to ask #debian) | 02:29 |
| LaserJock | heh | 02:29 |
| johnny | definitely not | 02:29 |
| johnny | oh.. lns you've been there .. | 02:30 |
| johnny | almost all the folks who answer ltsp questions who hang out in here, are also there | 02:31 |
| johnny | but not the opposite | 02:31 |
| kgoetz | also actually asking the question helps ;) | 02:32 |
| juliux | good mornin | 08:04 |
| juliux | g | 08:04 |
| juliux | hi RichEd | 08:36 |
| RichEd | hi juliux | 08:36 |
| juliux | RichEd, what do you think about edubuntu coffee mugs? | 08:36 |
| RichEd | juliux: nice idea :) they hang around on people's work desk ... so it is a constant advert / reminder | 08:37 |
| juliux | RichEd, ubuntu-de is thinking about the idea | 08:37 |
| juliux | RichEd, is it ok for you if we produce the mugs? | 08:40 |
| RichEd | i am sure it is fine ... perhaps send a mail to the trademark address asking permission, but of course letting them know you are a loco ... | 08:41 |
| RichEd | let me get the mail address for you | 08:41 |
| RichEd | trademarks@ubuntu.com | 08:43 |
| juliux | normaly we don't need that because we have a contract about the logo usage | 08:43 |
| juliux | but i will write them an e-mail | 08:43 |
| RichEd | http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy | 08:43 |
| LaserJock | morning RichEd | 08:45 |
| RichEd | hi LaserJock | 08:45 |
| juliux | hi LaserJock | 08:46 |
| LaserJock | sorry I missed the meeting, thought it was the late one | 08:47 |
| RichEd | seemed there was some confusion around the meeting slot yesterday | 08:49 |
| RichEd | i also thought it was the late one until i checked the fridge | 08:49 |
| RichEd | we had the early one the week before | 08:49 |
| RichEd | :/ | 08:49 |
| LaserJock | I was gonna say a little bit about some artwork stuff | 08:51 |
| LaserJock | I was talking with _MMA_ (Ubuntu Studio lead) about what they were doing with their art packages | 08:52 |
| LaserJock | and some of the changes they're working on for Ubuntu as well | 08:53 |
| LaserJock | and he said he could have a look at the Edubuntu artwork packaging | 08:53 |
| LaserJock | we created https://.launchpad.net/edubuntu-look as a project which the edubuntu-artwork LP team is a driver | 08:54 |
| LaserJock | so then the packaging/artwork could all be done in a bzr branch | 08:54 |
| RichEd | ogra was hoping that someone from the art team would join the meeting yesterday after the mail thread discussion ... but no-one did | 08:56 |
| LaserJock | yes, well, I'm not sure they do IRC as much | 08:56 |
| RichEd | i mailed Jill last night asking her to do a new wallpaper ... she was keen when last we spoke | 08:56 |
| LaserJock | there were a few art people who joined ~edubuntu-art | 08:56 |
| LaserJock | and a wallpaper submission | 08:56 |
| LaserJock | although I think we are usually pretty good for wallpapers | 08:57 |
| RichEd | did you like the default for 7.10 ? | 08:57 |
| LaserJock | it was ok, I think we could have refined it some more | 08:57 |
| LaserJock | I think it'd be nice to sort of work more on consistency throughout | 08:58 |
| LaserJock | gdm splash, boot splash, etc. and the website | 08:58 |
| LaserJock | but _MMA_ has some experience on the packaging/technical end which is nice | 08:59 |
| LaserJock | I don't think he can commit to too much, but I think he'd be willing to help a team | 08:59 |
| LaserJock | there's also an icon theme we might consider using based on Gartoon called GNUtoon | 09:05 |
| LaserJock | it's basically Gartoon+ | 09:05 |
| LaserJock | more icons | 09:05 |
| highvoltage | ogra: are you around? | 13:14 |
| laga | ogra: ping | 13:16 |
| ogra | highvoltage, now i am, sorry, was in the basement | 14:45 |
| highvoltage | ogra: not a problem! | 14:57 |
| highvoltage | ogra: have you ever used, or do you know much about multicasting? | 14:58 |
| ogra | we used it in the cable company where i worked before for iptv but i didnt have direct contact with that | 14:58 |
| ogra | do you have a patch for me ? | 14:59 |
| ogra | :) | 14:59 |
| highvoltage | heh, I wish! | 14:59 |
| ogra | to try it | 14:59 |
| highvoltage | the guys at work say that some provisoning systems use multicast to send the data to all the clients | 14:59 |
| ogra | right | 15:00 |
| highvoltage | and when I suggested ubiquity over ltsp a while back, they wanted me to look uno multicasting for that | 15:00 |
| highvoltage | I wasn't sure if it's possible, just looked at the ticket again today | 15:00 |
| ogra | ubiquity over ltsp ? | 15:00 |
| ogra | you mean run the live image netbooted ? | 15:01 |
| highvoltage | well, originally I was going to run a full "fat" nfs environment that runs ubiquity, this was before LTSP used squashfs, etc | 15:01 |
| highvoltage | but yes, we'll probably do live image netbooted now | 15:02 |
| ogra | there is a setup somewhere on the wiki | 15:02 |
| highvoltage | yes, I think it's moquist's setup | 15:02 |
| ogra | robert collins built that for a conference once | 15:02 |
| ogra | for an ubuntu booth | 15:02 |
| highvoltage | do you think it's technically possible for a setup like that to use multicast? | 15:03 |
| ogra | hmm, no idea | 15:03 |
| highvoltage | the thing is just, the clients will probably want the data at different times | 15:03 |
| stgraber | I'm installing that at school too (to replace tons of Ubuntu CDs :)) | 15:03 |
| highvoltage | then again, if they don't get the data, they will probably just wait for it | 15:03 |
| highvoltage | for booting up an entire, big lab, it might be a good thing though. | 15:04 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: multicast is fine for disk images where you wait for all the clients to be ready then send the data in your case I don't really see where you can use multicast ... | 15:04 |
| * highvoltage will have to ask for more information from the multicast-loudmouths | 15:04 | |
| highvoltage | stgraber: that's what I thought too, except for maybe booting lots of clients | 15:05 |
| highvoltage | I suppose it's possible to multicast just *some* stuff? | 15:05 |
| stgraber | hmm, hardware being different, ... the only thing you can get by multicast would be the initrd, on-demmand access won't work (at least that's how I understand the multicast thing) | 15:06 |
| highvoltage | oh, but it would probably be difficult over the same protocol (I was thinking of when an entire class opens up openoffice) | 15:06 |
| stgraber | it's not like if all your clients were retrieving the exact same data | 15:06 |
| highvoltage | yeah | 15:06 |
| stgraber | multicast is perfect for video stream (I use it with VLC on some clients, running a sort of local app waiting for the stream sent by the teacher), not sure how you can use it for file transfer | 15:08 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: might work if you have an initrd downloading a base image, uncompressing it in RAM, then booting it | 15:09 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: but that would eat a lot of RAM (then it won't require any network access) | 15:10 |
| highvoltage | stgraber: for sure. | 15:11 |
| RichEd | stgraber: how is the italc panelbeating gping ? | 15:58 |
| RichEd | any chance of it being workable for 8.04 ? | 15:59 |
| stgraber | RichEd: demo mode crashes, waiting from an upstream patch (I can't fix it myself) | 16:13 |
| stgraber | RichEd: everything else works just fine | 16:14 |
| RichEd | stgraber: thanks :) | 16:27 |
| boiblu | im having problems trying to get firefox to play youtube | 16:28 |
| boiblu | anyone know why? | 16:29 |
| lns | I apologize in advance to everyone who is also in #ltsp (for duping a conversation)... FYI Everyone: If you want to help fix the OpenOffice pixmap LTSP crash issue, register and comment on the following issue in the OOo issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=85321 | 18:16 |
