[00:00] <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.
[05:28] <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 :)
[05:29] <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
[05:30] <Finalphase> Any idea =P?
[05:31] <Finalphase> Whats Edubuntu anyways, I thought it was (Education)Ubuntu
[05:32] <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 =)?
[05:33] <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!
[05:34] <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
[05:35] <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.
[05:36] <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.
[05:37] <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??
[05:38] <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. :)
[05:39] <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
[05:41] <LaserJock> Finalphase: I would suggest talking to an IT admin at your school, they should have good knowledge of your specific situation
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <sbalneav> Night all, heading to bed.
[05:44] <Finalphase> Bye bye
[06:40] <highvoltage> http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/1092
[06:52] <highvoltage> I blame Alanis Morissette for this: http://www.myextralife.com/?p=10121
[06:55] <jsgotangco> lol
[06:55] <jsgotangco> why is that truck burning?
[07:19] <highvoltage> no idea. but that's what you get for painting flames on your truck :)
[08:10] <Finalphase> Anybody on that knows some good VNC knowledge pst
[10:12] <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?
[10:19] <bassie_> hi all
[10:21] <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
[10:22] <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.
[17:09] <LaserJock> sbalneav: around?
[17:10] <sbalneav> Yes I am!
[17:10] <LaserJock> awesome, so am I as luck would have it ;-)
[17:11] <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?
[17:36] <highvoltage> howdy!
[17:36] <LaserJock> highvoltage!
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <highvoltage> HAHAHAHAHA
[17:39] <highvoltage> wow, and to think that I was going to say "feed reader"
[17:39] <highvoltage> LaserJock: well done.
[17:41] <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.
[17:49] <highvoltage> LaserJock: I don't like this meme either. It's not really a meme to begin with. more like tag-blogging
[17:50] <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.
[17:51] <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
[18:01] <Rideh> Anyone have a particular thinclient manufacturer to recommend? purchases will be in quantities of 25
[18:05] <highvoltage> Rideh: which country?
[18:05] <Rideh> USA
[18:06] <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
[18:07] <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
[18:08] <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
