| Kamping_Kaiser | wubrgamer, its an extra cd for ubuntu which contains all the edubuntu packages | 00:59 |
|---|---|---|
| wubrgamer | Kamping_Kaiser: so there is no edubuntu cd? | 01:00 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | wubrgamer, no stand alone cd | 01:00 |
| wubrgamer | Kamping_Kaiser: that's new | 01:01 |
| wubrgamer | Kamping_Kaiser: isn't it ? | 01:01 |
| wubrgamer | Kamping_Kaiser: I thought there used to be one | 01:01 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | wubrgamer, until this release edubuntu has been a stand alone cd | 01:02 |
| theunixgeek_ | The loading bar in the usplash keeps bobbing back and forth instead of actually loading. how do I fix this? | 01:04 |

| wubrgamer | gnomefreak: | 01:29 |
| gnomefreak | wubrgamer: too damn many :( | 01:29 |
| gnomefreak | my connections is being cranky | 01:29 |
| wubrgamer | you need to cut that down, i'm pretty freenode is cranky about that sort of thing | 01:30 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | gnomefre?k, hey mate | 01:30 |

| * wubrgamer is away: I'm Away, Send me a PM | 01:31 | |
| Kamping_Kaiser | wubrgamer, could you not publicly announce aways please? :) | 01:31 |
| wubrgamer | how do I do that? | 01:31 |
| === wubrgamer is now known as wubrgamer-away | ||
| wubrgamer-away | is that better ? | 01:32 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | not really, but its less obnoxious :) | 01:32 |
| wubrgamer-away | does it announce my nick change? | 01:33 |
| wubrgamer-away | honestly, what's the difference? | 01:33 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | many clients dont show nick changes. as it happens many do, which is why its not really better | 01:35 |

| roe_ | I'm looking for a child oriented word processor, I've looked at some of the programs edubuntu offers, but didn't see one | 02:15 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | what does 'child oriented' mean exactly? | 02:18 |
| roe_ | K thru 2 | 02:19 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | what would you want from it though? are you thinking like the wordprocessor in an XO? | 02:20 |
| roe_ | XO? | 02:20 |
| roe_ | something very simple that would allow them to compose a letter, or a story, with some light formating ability | 02:21 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | so exactly like whats in the xo. wonder what its called. it may be packaged | 02:22 |
| roe_ | what is xo | 02:22 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | the OLPC laptop | 02:22 |
| roe_ | ah | 02:22 |
| roe_ | the olpc website says it is packaged with abiword | 02:24 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | a modified abiword yeah. | 02:24 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | try abiword from the repositories. might be simple enough | 02:24 |
| * Kamping_Kaiser hasnt used it for ages | 02:24 | |
| roe_ | I have used it recently, it is more of a 3rd to 5 grade or adult light weight processor not very interactive | 02:25 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | afk. catch you later | 02:26 |
| roe_ | so long | 02:26 |
| lns | roe_, why not gedit? (Applications -> Accessories -> Text Editor) | 02:36 |
| roe_ | it isn't interactive (read fun for a kindergartner to use) | 02:39 |
| roe_ | it needs to help walk them through the various steps of writing | 02:39 |
| lns | roe_, did you look at gcompris suite? I'm not sure if there's a word processor or not but that's probably in the ballpark | 02:56 |
| roe_ | I did and I didn't see one there | 02:57 |
| lns | ya got me then | 02:57 |
| lns | but there very well could be one out there | 02:57 |
| lns | check this out | 02:59 |
| lns | http://ingwa2.blogspot.com/2005/09/koffice-kids-office.html | 02:59 |
| roe_ | that looks perfect | 03:03 |
| roe_ | can't find if it has made any progress since 2005 though | 03:04 |
| lns | maybe it's bug-free ? =) | 03:04 |
| roe_ | looks like it is bundled with koffice 2 | 03:07 |
| lns | some of KDEs apps are really top-notch...it'd be nice to see integration with gnome (such as the user mgr - very nice, well made comparatively) | 03:09 |
| hbons | are there any docs available for customizing ubuntu like edubuntu does? and what tools do the edudevs use? | 13:49 |
| johnny | searc for ubuntu cd remaster | 13:50 |
| johnny | edubuntu is not a seperate distro as of 8.04 | 13:50 |
| johnny | it is an addon cd | 13:51 |
| ogra | well | 13:51 |
| ogra | ubuntu uses debian-cd to build the disks | 13:51 |
| ogra | edubuntu is just treated like the second CD to ubuntu-desktop | 13:51 |
| ogra | in a standard debian-cd build setup | 13:51 |
| hbons | johnny, ogra: thanks! will check that out | 14:00 |
| === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| reg_ | Have a question about 8.04 upgrade... | 16:05 |
| reg_ | Is it possible to upgrade edubuntu 7.10, keeping all users and without setting up thin clients again? Im a newbie at this... | 16:05 |
| johnny | reg_, you should regenerate your client chroot | 16:07 |
| johnny | but otherwise all the settings are fine | 16:07 |
| reg_ | Hmmm... Is it best to get a linux-nerde to help me? :-) Im running a system with 7 thin clients and about 50 users. Proxy etc. is run by seperate server. | 16:09 |
| reg_ | I have no idea how to regenerate client chroot or even what a client chroot is... ;-) | 16:10 |
| johnny | you built that system dind't you? | 16:11 |
| johnny | it's what the clients boot from /opt/ltsp/i386 | 16:11 |
| johnny | ltsp-build-client | 16:11 |
| johnny | you should backup your old /opt/ltsp/i386 | 16:12 |
| johnny | and then run ltsp-build-client again | 16:12 |
| reg_ | Nope... Got some help from a "guru". I only service the system by upgrading and adding users... | 16:12 |
| johnny | well if that person may have modified the chroot.. | 16:12 |
| johnny | then you should talk to them again | 16:12 |
| johnny | and tell them that you were advised to rebuild the chroot from scratch | 16:12 |
| reg_ | think I have to call him... The kids in the youth club would kill me if they lost their internet connection today... | 16:13 |
| reg_ | I'll fix this later... Got to work some more now.. Thanks | 16:15 |
| ogra | reg_, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 16:16 |
| ogra | thats enough for the genral system upgrade | 16:16 |
| ogra | for ltsp follow what johnny said (move /opt/ltsp/i386 away and run sudo ltsp-build-client) | 16:16 |
| ogra | that should be all you need | 16:17 |
| ogra | but better do it on a wekend in case you run into any probs ;) | 16:17 |
| johnny | ogra, but the chroot could have been modified ina necessary way | 16:18 |
| johnny | for their setup | 16:18 |
| ogra | right | 16:18 |
| johnny | so.. i think the original person should do it | 16:18 |
| ogra | but you have the backup | 16:18 |

| use | Hello | 18:43 |
| use | ive a question - i need to use edubuntu @ school (i am sysadmin) - can i configure 1 pc and copy trhe settings to other pc`S? | 18:44 |
| use | oder soll ich leiber auf deutsch fragen? | 18:46 |
| MrBill | would a 550mhz K62 laptop with 512mb of RAM be a pretty painfully slow system to run Edubuntu on? | 21:42 |
| LaserJock | what are you wanting to run? | 21:42 |
| LaserJock | like what apps, etc. | 21:42 |
| MrBill | A buddy is thinking to build a machine for his system (and 3 year old nephew) that will do basic browsing, email, etc. and I figure that having something like edubuntu would give some games/whatever that might be good for a kid | 21:43 |
| MrBill | I'm brand new to Ubuntu myself (just converted from WinXP two weeks ago) so don't really know too much about what kinda system requirements Linux has in general | 21:43 |
| MrBill | errrr, when i said "build for his system" i meant "build for his sister" | 21:45 |
| LaserJock | I think it'd work ok | 21:46 |
| LaserJock | the processor is a bit low, but the memory is nice, which is often more important | 21:46 |
| MrBill | woudl it be adviseable to go with an older release? or is the newest release going to basically run just as quick as an older? | 21:47 |
| LaserJock | yeah, should be fine | 21:50 |
| LaserJock | you could perhaps look at Xubuntu | 21:50 |
| LaserJock | and then add on edu apps from the addon cd | 21:50 |
| MrBill | oh, I didn't realize I could do the addon apps to either xubuntu or kubuntu, i for some reason thought I had to be running a gnome version | 21:51 |
| MrBill | I'm still sorta learning how this all works =) | 21:51 |
| MrBill | that's probably the best solution, xubuntu runs a noticeable amount lighter than ubuntu ? | 21:51 |
| LaserJock | MrBill: yeah | 21:57 |
