[03:23] Hi All! [03:23] hi dgroos [03:24] Believe it or not I've got another scratch that ANOTHER question... [03:24] hi Ahmuck [03:24] I'm setting up iTALC and I'm half way there :-) and :-( [03:25] I can see the clients on my LTSP system but [03:26] when I can't lock their screens nor remote-control them. [03:27] Wait--take that back, I can control the users screens, but there is so much of a lag [03:27] between say me clicking on a menu on one of the student screens and the menu popping down--up to 10 seconds, it isn't practical. [03:28] Any thoughts as to what might be misconfigured and, thanks for your time/expertise! [03:41] seen this ? http://www.scribd.com/doc/2084073/Floss-Catalog [03:47] Ahmuck-Sr: It looks quite interesting and pretty comprehensive--how do you use it? [03:47] not sure. i tried downloading it [03:48] I'm at this moment downloading the companion to it FLOSSguide... [03:54] took a bit to download the Floss-Catalog--had to join the site--but looks interesting and might be a good resource for background info--thanks Ahmuck-Sr. [03:55] my brain is starting shut-down procedures, must head to bed... I'll comeback tomorrow during my preparation period tomorrow and both folks again with this Q. later. [15:31] is there much of any chance of smart boards just working easily? [15:57] stgraber: today the usplash problem is resolved but i still have the "chroot: cannot execute /usr/bin/getltscfg: Exec format error" [15:58] i've build a new i386 client and the usplash was gone [17:27] ogra: what GCompris release is going to ship with jaunty ? [17:27] I am afraid by this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcompris/+bug/328917 [17:27] Ubuntu bug 328917 in gcompris "GCompris core dumps at load time in kubuntu jaunty jackalope (alpha 3)" [Undecided,New] [18:03] I have been trying to upgrade my edubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 for the past several weeks. Unsuccessfully, mind you. This time I tried it in terminal and I got some more info then in 'update manager'. "...exception from gpg: Gnupg exited non-zero, with code 131072. gpg: warning: unsafe permissions on homedir 'tmp/tmpQ9HdcJ' gpg: Signature made Tue 04 Nov 2008 03:56:17 pm est using DSA key ID 437D05B5 gpg: Can't check signature: publ [18:27] If anyone has any ideas about my problem listed here. email me at stingray761@yahoo.com.......much appreciated. [19:06] anyone know of a few programs that would be great to use to kind of show off to a high school science teacher (general science + physics and chemistry courses including an AP course) who is already very open about using technology in his classroom as long as he has the time available to do it? [19:07] he has a smart board available, lab sensor hardware, etc. [19:09] just checked and the lab sensors have manufacturer linux support [19:09] no clue on the smart board [19:19] Jared555: Well, I work with younger kids, in a district way too poor to have lab equipment... but some of the things that are big hits wrt science are Atomix (it's a puzzle game, but it seems to help the kids remember what different molecules look like), kstars (astronomy program... paired with a projector you can have a DIY planetarium), and audacity (it's a recorder/editor but the manipulations got the kids interested and helped them le [19:43] k. [19:43] thanks [19:48] np [19:48] Sorry I couldn't help more. [20:41] Hello everyone [20:45] hi [20:45] I was wondering it anyone was alive. lol [20:45] * HedgeMage checks pulse [20:46] yep [20:46] LOL [20:46] And a sense of humor, I am really impressed.
