| nothingman | I installed the alternate disk as an ltsp server, but when I log in on the server (haven't installed the addon disc yet) I get a black screen with the arrow cursor | 04:45 |

| anom1 | hi. | 12:44 |
| anom1 | just wondering if I'm missing any Edubuntu downloads, because after installing the whole 8.10 Addon CDROM (I believe), I only see about 10+ new programs, mostly in the Education menu (gnome). | 12:45 |
| * anom1 dreams of seeing Mark Shuttleworth in person one day... | 12:47 | |
| itstegg | will the edubuntu addon install over xubuntu ? | 14:02 |
| * anom1 wishes there are many apps for various subjects - Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History (general), Biology, etc... | 16:09 | |
| Ahmuck-Jr | Nubae is there a place on the apps site where one can create a section called "wanted apps" | 16:40 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | something a person could describe the educational app they are looking for and describe how it should perform? | 16:40 |
| anom1 | Ahmuck-Jr: Thank you. Will take a look. | 16:48 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | anom1: i don't think there is a place yet | 16:49 |
| anom1 | but what do you guys think about edubuntu? or are you guys in here just to chat or something? | 16:57 |
| * anom1 just wants to start a conversation and listen to people talk. | 16:58 | |
| gfarbal2 | Hi! Anybody can help me setting up local devices support in a LTSP server? I'm using 2.6.24-23 kernel, I've fuse module insmoded, my user is in fuse group, and my thin device recognizes my USB stick but... Gnome icon's... doesn't appear :-( Any idea? Thank you! | 17:05 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | LaserJock: could we get a place on the website for applications ideas? | 19:22 |
| ogra | Ahmuck-Jr, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/edubuntu-application-review feel free to implement the spec :) | 19:24 |
| LaserJock | actually, we have Brainstorm | 19:27 |
| LaserJock | I sent out an email about it | 19:27 |
| * LaserJock wonders if people ever read his emails sometimes :-) | 19:27 | |
| ogra | well, brainstorm isnt really a replacement for an app overview DB | 19:28 |
| LaserJock | no | 19:28 |
| LaserJock | but I sent out an email saying we can use it as an interim solution | 19:28 |
| LaserJock | since I'm guessing the full app review DB is gonna take somet time to implement | 19:28 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | need to put it in the topic me thinks | 19:29 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | after the question came up here, i envisoined a place where someone could fill out the title, the app idea, and the details needed to make the app function | 19:30 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | then it would be a wait and see to find out if there was someone that would implement the app | 19:30 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 19:31 |
| LaserJock | the spec that ogra linked to has a lot of great ideas | 19:31 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | is that brainstorm ? | 19:31 |
| LaserJock | not so much | 19:31 |
| ogra | no | 19:31 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | coders do well at coding, but not so well at what apps teachers need to teach | 19:31 |
| LaserJock | Brainstorm let's you create an idea and talk about it | 19:31 |
| ogra | its the spec we worked out at the seville UDS for presenting and voting for apps | 19:32 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | so let them specify what apps they are looking for and then if a dev want's to try it, let them try it | 19:32 |
| ogra | but nobody ever implemented it | 19:32 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | or someone wants to pay for a gpled development | 19:32 |
| LaserJock | I still say though that the problem is not primarily finding things to work on, but rather finding resources to do so | 19:33 |
| ogra | yeah | 19:33 |
| ogra | not enough devs in edubuntu land was always the prob | 19:33 |
| LaserJock | however, if we can be more efficient at doing that, then that's a good idea | 19:33 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | it doesn't need to be edubuntu devs | 19:33 |
| LaserJock | right | 19:34 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | but the seed could be planted at edubuntu | 19:34 |
| * ogra didnt say edubuntu devs | 19:34 | |
| ogra | i said in edubuntu land :) | 19:34 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | so if dev a is looking for something to polish thier resume, they could pick up an edu app at edubuntu | 19:34 |
| ogra | (which includes ubuntu devs or anyone else who is willing) | 19:34 |
| ogra | there are millions of demanding users and teachers but only a handfull of devs at all | 19:35 |
| ogra | in the three years i did edubuntu the best i could get were people willing to help but only with documentation | 19:36 |
| ogra | and i doubt that changed much | 19:36 |
| LaserJock | mostly the best is to get people who are alread devs interested in Education from what I've seen | 19:37 |
| ogra | yes | 19:37 |
| ogra | its the only way | 19:37 |
| LaserJock | that's how ogra and I got into it | 19:37 |
| Ahmuck-Jr | or pay for dev | 19:39 |
| ogra | that doesnt generate more devs magically | 19:40 |
| ogra | but feel free to try it and put up a bounty :) | 19:43 |
| alkisg | Lns: man sqlite => .sqliterc may be a way to automatically insert group "places" entries in firefox, I think you were looking for something like that... | 19:45 |
| Lns | alkisg: wow, thanks, i'll look into that! | 19:46 |
| Lns | alkisg: do you have any docs on .sqliterc syntax/usage? | 20:05 |
| alkisg | Lns, they're standard .commands | 20:05 |
| alkisg | E.g. put this in .sqliterc: | 20:05 |
| alkisg | .output /tmp/sqlite.out | 20:06 |
| alkisg | .databases | 20:06 |
| alkisg | .output stdout | 20:06 |
| alkisg | Then if you run sqlite and just .quit, you'll see a /tmp/sqlite.out file with your databases | 20:06 |
| Lns | hrm | 20:06 |
| alkisg | You may also include a file with sql statements (like, select * from moz_places) | 20:06 |
| * Lns isn't familiar with .commands - is that all standard sql syntax? | 20:07 | |
| Lns | ah | 20:07 |
| alkisg | Lns, run sqlite and then type .help | 20:07 |
| Lns | wow this could provide some pretty useful functionality | 20:07 |
| alkisg | Lns, ah, sorry: .sqliterc isn't executed when firefox starts, I thought it would be... :( | 20:08 |
| Lns | :( | 20:09 |
| alkisg | So I guess triggers would be an alternative... | 20:09 |
| Lns | yea | 20:09 |
| highvoltage | hey Lns | 20:12 |
| Lns | hey highvoltage, what's the good word | 20:13 |
| highvoltage | sorry Lns I only know bad words :p | 20:14 |
| Lns | =p | 20:15 |
| * Lns is probably going to toss ArchLinux on his eeepc 701.. heard it can boot in 14sec. | 20:22 | |
| Ahmuck-Jr | k, i'm back | 20:37 |

| Svenstaro | Does anybody here have experience with a network of about 50 thin clients and what kind of server to use in order to cope with the loadß | 23:52 |
| LaserJock | that seems like quite a lot on a single server | 23:52 |
| Svenstaro | That's why I'm asking :/ | 23:52 |
| LaserJock | stgraber or Lns might have an idea though | 23:53 |
| Svenstaro | I'm considering fat clients at this point. | 23:53 |
| Svenstaro | I have 8 cores which I believe can handle at most 20 multimedia clients. | 23:54 |
| Svenstaro | Would you even use LTSP/Edubuntu when using fat clients? From my understanding for fat clients I simply have to serve a bootable kernel on a TFTPd. | 23:55 |
| LaserJock | yeah, you can do LTSP with fat clients | 23:59 |
