| Mip5 | Okay - well, I'm striking out. I've used gpxe to make the bootable floppies, and they work great. Novice that I am, I can't figure out a way to make get something from bin/gpxe.??? that I can cat or dd to the hda1. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Finalphase | Is this where I go to advance my knowledge | 05:28 |
| HedgeMage | Finalphase: that depends on what you want to learn about, I suppose :) | 05:28 |
| Finalphase | Well I got the basics (I think) | 05:29 |
| HedgeMage | Finalphase: but if you are in the wrong place, we will try to help you find the right one. | 05:29 |
| Finalphase | I wanna learn more | 05:29 |
| Finalphase | Any idea =P? | 05:30 |
| Finalphase | Whats Edubuntu anyways, I thought it was (Education)Ubuntu | 05:31 |
| sbalneav | That's what it is. | 05:32 |
| Finalphase | oh haha | 05:32 |
| sbalneav | Ubuntu for use in an educational environment. | 05:32 |
| Finalphase | oo | 05:32 |
| Finalphase | like School and other crap amongst that =)? | 05:32 |
| HedgeMage | Finalphase: school, home with kids/students, educational clubs, preschool, everything | 05:33 |
| Finalphase | Whats a good program like limewire for linux | 05:33 |
| Finalphase | Ahh | 05:33 |
| Finalphase | What do I want then | 05:33 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: hi! | 05:33 |
| Finalphase | I want like programming / hacking (Shhhh) lol | 05:33 |
| sbalneav | LaserJock: Heya! | 05:33 |
| HedgeMage | I don't know what limewire is, but if you think hacking is something to Shh about, I think you have the wrong idea | 05:34 |
| Finalphase | Elaborate | 05:34 |
| Finalphase | Limewire = Ultimate music downloading program for Windows | 05:34 |
| HedgeMage | Finalphase: Hacking isn't what the media tells you it is (computer crime) -- the term hacking means delving into things, learning systems and making them do new things. | 05:35 |
| sbalneav | Rhythmbox has a jamendo plugin where you can download Copylefted music. | 05:35 |
| LaserJock | I think Finalphase is looking for like a P2P/bitorrent app | 05:35 |
| Finalphase | Well yeah that's what I want =P | 05:35 |
| Finalphase | Hedgemage: That is exactly what I want to do | 05:35 |
| HedgeMage | Finalphase: A good example is the rig that let the Apollo 13 crew make a square filter fit a round hole so they could have air to breathe. | 05:35 |
| HedgeMage | Finalphase: it's doing what a system isn't meant to (and may be for good or evil) | 05:36 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: how's it going? | 05:36 |
| sbalneav | as well, there are several P2P torrent based programs. I beleive Ubuntu comes configured by default with Transmission. | 05:36 |
| sbalneav | LaserJock: Good! I just got back from the LTSP hackfest in Maine. We got a ton of new features in LTSP. | 05:37 |
| Finalphase | Well I have a question, how can I make my VNCServer viewable from a windows computer if its hosted on linux? I know how to port forward and use sites like dyndns.org to get around my router but how could I access it from say, a school computer | 05:37 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: very nice | 05:37 |
| sbalneav | As well, I need to talk to you at some point about packaging the newer LTSP manual. | 05:37 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: oh?? | 05:37 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: in what form is it? | 05:38 |
| sbalneav | Docbook, of course :) | 05:38 |
| LaserJock | pfft | 05:38 |
| sbalneav | It's the updated LTSP manual, I've been working on it for a few weeks now. | 05:38 |
| LaserJock | I thought you were gonna give me a challenge ;-) | 05:38 |
| sbalneav | No, I'm an old Fart, I like easy. :) | 05:38 |
| sbalneav | Finalphase: You'd need a vnc viewer for Windows, I'd expect. | 05:39 |
| HedgeMage | Finalphase: Yes you can, but I don't know because I've never tried -- I haven't run a Win box since 2001, and I haven't used Win on my main computer since 1998 | 05:39 |
| HedgeMage | *don't know how | 05:39 |
| LaserJock | Finalphase: I would suggest talking to an IT admin at your school, they should have good knowledge of your specific situation | 05:41 |
| Finalphase | Sorry I did something lol | 05:43 |
| HedgeMage | heh | 05:43 |
| Finalphase | When I go vncviewer -fullscreen ubuntu:1 | 05:43 |
| HedgeMage | bbiab, looking for a late-night snack | 05:43 |
| Finalphase | how do I get back | 05:43 |
| Finalphase | out of fullscreen | 05:43 |
| sbalneav | Night all, heading to bed. | 05:44 |
| Finalphase | Bye bye | 05:44 |
| highvoltage | http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/1092 | 06:40 |
| highvoltage | I blame Alanis Morissette for this: http://www.myextralife.com/?p=10121 | 06:52 |
| jsgotangco | lol | 06:55 |
| jsgotangco | why is that truck burning? | 06:55 |
| highvoltage | no idea. but that's what you get for painting flames on your truck :) | 07:19 |
| Finalphase | Anybody on that knows some good VNC knowledge pst | 08:10 |
| Finalphase | I did sudo sh jre-6u10-linux-x64.bin and it gave me a jre1.6.0_10 folder, what do I do with it now? | 10:12 |
| bassie_ | hi all | 10:19 |
| bassie_ | got a small problem with ltsp X configuration. I've got a normal Ubuntu in which i installed ltsp5. X detected the screen depth and resolution wrong so i modified /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf and adjusted the screen depth and resolution, and rebuild the client | 10:21 |
| bassie_ | this worked for 95% of my clients. Now i have only a couple of clients that boot with a resolution of 800x600. these are special cases with a beamer or a different screen. | 10:22 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: around? | 17:09 |
| sbalneav | Yes I am! | 17:10 |
| LaserJock | awesome, so am I as luck would have it ;-) | 17:10 |
| sbalneav | Although, the more weight I loose, the less around I am. | 17:11 |
| sbalneav | ba-dum-bum. | 17:11 |
| LaserJock | lol | 17:11 |
| sbalneav | here or /msg? | 17:11 |
| highvoltage | howdy! | 17:36 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage! | 17:36 |
| highvoltage | sbalneav: hehe | 17:37 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock! | 17:37 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: you see my book meme post? | 17:37 |
| sbalneav | heya | 17:37 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: nope... opening liferea... | 17:37 |
| LaserJock | lol | 17:37 |
| highvoltage | sbalneav: btw, I think local apps in intrepid is made of pure awesome | 17:37 |
| LaserJock | I'm pretty proud of myself | 17:37 |
| highvoltage | HAHAHAHAHA | 17:38 |
| highvoltage | wow, and to think that I was going to say "feed reader" | 17:39 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: well done. | 17:39 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: stevenk, ajmitch, and wgrant were complaining in #ubuntu-motu last night about people spamming them with meme posts | 17:41 |
| sbalneav | Yeah, I got the ball rolling last year, and stgraber, gadi, and Warren carried it over the finish line. | 17:41 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: I don't like this meme either. It's not really a meme to begin with. more like tag-blogging | 17:49 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: my closest book is Fight Club | 17:50 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: do you know how dangerous the page 56 is in Fight Club!? | 17:50 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: haven't a clue | 17:50 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: are you familiar with the story? | 17:50 |
| LaserJock | never seen the movie nor read the book | 17:50 |
| highvoltage | shoe. | 17:50 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: well, it's really good. | 17:51 |
| highvoltage | sentence 5 on that page just says "This?" | 17:51 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: but I'll post you a picture of it in pvt, then you can see what comes just before and after :) | 17:51 |
| LaserJock | heh | 17:51 |
| Rideh | Anyone have a particular thinclient manufacturer to recommend? purchases will be in quantities of 25 | 18:01 |
| highvoltage | Rideh: which country? | 18:05 |
| Rideh | USA | 18:05 |
| highvoltage | well, then you have lots of options. All the HP's I've seen work quite well with Linux and LTSP, although I've seen many generic, cheaper ones that work just as good | 18:06 |
| highvoltage | whatever you buy, make sure that the video card that's included work well. try to find a distributor that will be able to give you a demo model first | 18:07 |
| Rideh | sure, and yea was planning to do that | 18:08 |
| highvoltage | it might also be worth while asking in #ltsp | 18:08 |
| Rideh | thanks i'll try that as well | 18:08 |
