[03:23] <dgroos> Hi All!
[03:23] <Ahmuck> hi dgroos
[03:24] <dgroos> Believe it or not I've got another scratch that ANOTHER question...
[03:24] <dgroos> hi Ahmuck
[03:24] <dgroos> I'm setting up iTALC and I'm half way there :-) and :-(
[03:25] <dgroos> I can see the clients on my LTSP system but
[03:26] <dgroos> when I can't lock their screens nor remote-control them.
[03:27] <dgroos> Wait--take that back, I can control the users screens, but there is so much of a lag
[03:27] <dgroos> 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] <dgroos> Any thoughts as to what might be misconfigured and, thanks for your time/expertise!
[03:41] <Ahmuck-Sr> seen this ?  http://www.scribd.com/doc/2084073/Floss-Catalog
[03:47] <dgroos> Ahmuck-Sr:  It looks quite interesting and pretty comprehensive--how do you use it?
[03:47] <Ahmuck-Sr> not sure.  i tried downloading it
[03:48] <dgroos> I'm at this moment downloading the companion to it FLOSSguide...
[03:54] <dgroos> 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] <dgroos> 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] <Jared555> is there much of any chance of smart boards just working easily?
[15:57] <faustino333> stgraber: today the usplash problem is resolved but i still have the "chroot: cannot execute /usr/bin/getltscfg: Exec format error"
[15:58] <faustino333> i've build a new i386 client and the usplash was gone
[17:27] <bdoin> ogra: what GCompris release is going to ship with jaunty ?
[17:27] <bdoin> I am afraid by this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcompris/+bug/328917
[18:03] <stingray761> 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] <stingray761> If anyone has any ideas about my problem listed here.  email me at stingray761@yahoo.com.......much appreciated.
[19:06] <Jared555> 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] <Jared555> he has a smart board available, lab sensor hardware, etc.
[19:09] <Jared555> just checked and the lab sensors have manufacturer linux support
[19:09] <Jared555> no clue on the smart board
[19:19] <HedgeMage> 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
