| nblracer | hey | 01:40 |
|---|---|---|
| HedgeMage | hi nblracer | 01:42 |
| nblracer | i been on and odd off of this channel, for the past month | 01:44 |
| nblracer | im looking for a way to do roming profiles | 01:44 |
| nblracer | or better yet have a user auth with other computers on the network then sync files, that meet some requirements date range and size | 01:45 |
| HedgeMage | not sure off the top of my head: the only lab I have running is all thin clients | 01:46 |
| nblracer | this is small network, 5 computers some wired some wireless on a G network | 01:46 |
| nblracer | thin will not work, :( | 01:47 |
| * HedgeMage nods | 01:48 | |
| nblracer | i was thinking i could maybe write a bash script or even a small program to sync user data | 01:48 |
| nblracer | but im some what new to linux, so... | 01:49 |
| HedgeMage | I'm sure you could script something with rsync, just not sure of the particulars without a central file server for home dirs | 01:49 |
| HedgeMage | (standalone machines sharing a file server are easy) | 01:50 |
| nblracer | well it would look for the client with the newest user data to sync with, but | 01:51 |
| nblracer | my problem/consern would be how to remotly auth? | 01:51 |
| HedgeMage | not sure | 01:51 |
| nblracer | like where are the keys stored, and what kind of hash is used | 01:52 |
| nblracer | and would it be secure? | 01:52 |
| nblracer | do you know where i can get more info or/and help? | 01:54 |
| HedgeMage | the general #ubuntu chan maybe, it's not an edu-specific question | 02:06 |
| nblracer | yea that channel is over populated imo | 02:11 |
| HedgeMage | it happens to good channels that support popular projects | 02:31 |
| HedgeMage | you get used to it | 02:32 |
| HedgeMage | nblracer: In a busy channel, it is customary to preface a comment with the name of the primary person/people you are speaking to, like this, so their clients will make those statements stand out. | 02:32 |
| lobaman | hi there. i just need some advice. whats the best torrent client for edubuntu? | 05:50 |
| LaserJock | what version of Edubuntu? | 05:53 |
| lobaman | 7.10 | 05:55 |
| kgoetz | anyone here familiar with edubuntus bzr doco structure? | 05:55 |
| lobaman | i have tried ktorrent. but is there any other which is better? | 05:55 |
| LaserJock | kgoetz: I am | 05:58 |
| LaserJock | kgoetz: what's up? | 05:58 |
| LaserJock | lobaman: transmission and deluge are the popular ones | 05:58 |
| LaserJock | lobaman: I don't know if either are in the the 7.10 repos | 05:59 |
| LaserJock | but I'm sure you can find a .deb somewhere | 05:59 |
| kgoetz | LaserJock: i have the checkout of edubuntu-hardy, and i'm wondering what dirs i need to take note of for proof reading. just edubuntu? | 06:02 |
| * kgoetz notices [x,k]ubuntu stuff in there too | 06:03 | |
| LaserJock | kgoetz: umm, there shouldn't be | 06:04 |
| LaserJock | kgoetz: where are you getting the branch? | 06:04 |
| kgoetz | LaserJock: some months ago, but from parent branch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/edubuntu-hardy/ | 06:05 |
| kgoetz | when i run 'bzr status' theres lots of 'unknown' dirs (including the [k,x]ubuntu's. | 06:06 |
| kgoetz | i'm using shared repository for my edu/k/ubuntu doc checkouts (incase thats relevent) | 06:06 |
| lobaman | thanks LaserJock | 06:07 |
| LaserJock | kgoetz: yeah, the k,x,ubuntu dirs are not actually in the branch | 06:08 |
| * kgoetz checks if bzr has a 'kill all unknown files' option | 06:09 | |
| kgoetz | not that i can find. | 06:10 |
| kgoetz | i just finished rm'ing all the dirs bzr didnt know about, and its much less scary :) | 06:26 |
| === freeflyi1g is now known as freeflying | ||
| LaserJock | kgoetz: yeah :-) | 06:38 |
| LaserJock | kgoetz: are you planning on doing some doc work? | 06:39 |
| kgoetz | LaserJock: i was thinking of helping with proofreading over the next few weeks (until string freeze) | 06:40 |
| LaserJock | well, nobody has done anything for hardy so it'd be appreciated | 06:43 |
| pygi | ah,always the handbook problem ... | 06:43 |
| LaserJock | since we have a totally different installation method we for sure need to do fix that | 06:43 |
| LaserJock | and of course s/gutsy/hardy/ stuff | 06:44 |
| kgoetz | i'm time limited, but i'll try and help out... rather then just chat on irc *grin* | 06:44 |
| kgoetz | should i open a bug about issues with the docs or try and write a patch? i'm looking at the "what is Linux" section atm. | 06:45 |
| LaserJock | I think opening a bug and attaching a diff would be the easiest | 06:47 |
| kgoetz | ok | 06:49 |
| LaserJock | you can send them to me too if you want | 06:49 |
| LaserJock | or edubuntu-devel or ubuntu-docs or ... | 06:50 |
| LaserJock | :-) | 06:50 |
| kgoetz | :) | 06:50 |
| kgoetz | i'm at at a mates place atm, but when i have time i'll try and work my way through the docs | 06:50 |
| LaserJock | nixternal and I are the guys taking care of the bzr repo so as long as it gets to one of us it should work | 06:50 |
| * kgoetz nod | 06:54 | |
| nixternal | oi | 06:57 |
| kgoetz | hide! | 06:58 |
| nixternal | hehe | 06:58 |
| kgoetz | hey mate | 06:58 |
| nixternal | howdy | 06:58 |
| kgoetz | the edubuntu handbook looks quite long | 07:37 |
| kgoetz | blokes, i notice the requirement is 'US english'. is "administrate" a word in US english? | 08:37 |
| * kgoetz will go crazy if stuff like that is part of en_US | 08:39 | |
| kgoetz | i notice theres 'administer' and 'administrate' in the same paragraph, so i'll asume ..ate is wrong | 08:40 |
| kgoetz | perhaps i should stop looking for errors. i just realise di have to fix them when i find them :p | 09:33 |
| jvanrooyen | Hi all, how do I get my changed login theme to show on my terminals? | 10:00 |
| jvanrooyen | I'm using Gutsy | 10:00 |
| kgoetz | jvanrooyen: not sure i get your question | 10:19 |
| jvanrooyen | kgoetz: the edubuntu login window theme? I changed that and its only showing on the server side | 10:26 |
| jvanrooyen | kgoetz: when I boot up a client it shows the edubuntu login theme instead of the one I installed? | 10:27 |
| jvanrooyen | kgoetz: did you get my last msg? | 10:49 |
| kgoetz | jvanrooyen: yeah, sorry, i'm watching a film | 10:55 |
| kgoetz | i'm not sure how the clients theming works | 10:55 |
| jvanrooyen | oh k, because it works fone on the serve side, just struggling with the clients | 10:57 |

| edistar | will the new edubuntu be released in 8.04 too? | 21:36 |
| johnny | there may not be an edubuntu 8.04 | 21:41 |
| johnny | it will be ubuntu + educational addons or something | 21:42 |
| johnny | i'm not sure of the mechanics of it tho | 21:42 |
| nblracer | why? | 21:43 |
| johnny | because it doesnt need its' own name | 21:43 |
| johnny | because all it is is ubuntu + some apps and icons/backgrounds and such | 21:43 |
| johnny | that way it is easier to have the base desktop be whatever you like | 21:44 |
| johnny | and just install the extra packages | 21:44 |
| johnny | like xfce,kde, or gnome | 21:44 |
| edistar | johnny: it would make the project seem smaller | 21:55 |
| edistar | and all the LTSP bit? | 21:55 |
| johnny | will be able to be done via ubuntu install i think | 21:56 |
| edistar | ok | 21:56 |
| johnny | for every desktop cd i think | 21:56 |
| johnny | i'm using ltsp on regular ubuntu right now | 21:56 |
| edistar | johnny: ah.. easy to set up? | 21:56 |
| johnny | yes | 21:56 |
| johnny | just apt-get install | 21:56 |
| johnny | and a tiny bit of tweaking for network setup | 21:56 |
| johnny | most people are already using dhcp servers, so tweaking is definitey necessary in 99% of cases | 21:57 |
| edistar | johnny: ok | 21:58 |
| edistar | johnny: ssh tunneling default? | 21:58 |
| johnny | yes | 21:58 |
| edistar | cool | 21:58 |
| johnny | hardy is coming out soon, it will have many many fixes for ltsp | 21:58 |
| johnny | and stability :) | 21:58 |
| edistar | brilliant :) | 21:58 |
| edistar | we are using edubuntu at school | 21:59 |
| edistar | I set it up | 21:59 |
| edistar | but it's slow | 21:59 |
| johnny | turn off ssh compression :) | 22:00 |
| johnny | err ssh tunneling.. | 22:00 |
| edistar | johnny: I don't know why it's slow.. | 22:00 |
| johnny | could be hardware related | 22:00 |
| johnny | or app related | 22:00 |
| johnny | hardy will also include firefox 3 which should help | 22:00 |
| edistar | johnny: yeah, I haven't profiled yet | 22:00 |
| johnny | i deployed that recently | 22:01 |
| johnny | much nicer | 22:01 |
| edistar | nice | 22:01 |
| johnny | hopefully the OOo folks will continue their work too | 22:01 |
