| IHS_intern | interested in LTSP, and I have a DHCP server I can't take down(county owns it, not us.) And we have 100mbit ethernet at best, so small labs are best anyways... any way I can setup LTSP and use one NIC to connect to the outside world, and the rest of the lab to use a second NIC? | 18:23 |
|---|---|---|
| sbalneav | IHS_intern: Yes | 18:27 |
| sbalneav | In fact, this is the preferred way. | 18:27 |
| IHS_intern | What would you say the lowest-end hardware that will run LTSP-booting ubuntu well? | 18:44 |
| IHS_intern | Not as the server, but as the client. We have some old Pentium MMXs in the back room.... | 18:44 |
| sbalneav | How much ram? | 18:46 |
| IHS_intern | 32-128. 64 is common and an easy upgrade, 128 is easy to upgrade to. Able to get ~50 machines to 256. | 18:49 |
| sbalneav | if you can do 128 megs or better, you should be fine. | 18:50 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: What is the process for becoming an ubuntu dev? | 20:47 |
| bencrisford | edubuntu dev* | 20:47 |
| bencrisford | I messed that up, ill try again | 20:48 |
| bencrisford | highvoltage: What is the process for becoming an edubuntu dev? | 20:48 |
| bencrisford | stgraber: ? | 20:49 |
| stgraber | you need to be an edubuntu member then justify that you have a good enough understanding of packaging to get the developer status | 20:50 |
| bencrisford | oh :/ | 20:50 |
| bencrisford | stgraber: I didn't know sbalneav was an edubuntu member :) | 20:51 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: looking for me? | 20:53 |
| bencrisford | LaserJock: I fixed that bug after all yesterday | 20:53 |
| bencrisford | I uploaded it as a patch, not sure if it my diff is right though | 20:54 |
| LaserJock | what bug #? | 20:54 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: yep, I'm just about to go to sleep though (pretty much exhausted) | 20:54 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: sorry, was/am slammed trying to get a new chapter revision to my advisor | 20:55 |
| bencrisford | LaserJock: bug 306876 | 20:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 306876 in gcompris "Translations not installed with gcompris by default." [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/306876 | 20:56 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: no problem, will talk to you tomorrow | 20:57 |
| LaserJock | bencrisford: you actually want to do a debdiff | 20:57 |
| bencrisford | LaserJock: Ah | 20:57 |
| LaserJock | bencrisford: so do debdiff gcompris_8.4.4-1.1ubuntu4.dsc gcompris_8.4.4-1.1ubuntu5.dsc > gcompris_8.4.4-1.1ubuntu5.debdiff | 20:58 |
| LaserJock | and upload that debdiff | 20:58 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: we're doing EC tomorrow? | 20:58 |
| LaserJock | bencrisford: when you have something for me to do assign or at least subscribe me to the bug | 20:59 |
| bencrisford | LaserJock: I already subscribed the main sponsors | 20:59 |
| bencrisford | unles you wanna do it all? | 20:59 |
| bencrisford | because gcompris is in main i think | 20:59 |
| bencrisford | !info gcompris | 20:59 |
| ubottu | gcompris (source: gcompris): Educational games for small children. In component main, is optional. Version 8.4.4-1.1ubuntu4 (jaunty), package size 457 kB, installed size 1568 kB | 20:59 |
| LaserJock | well, the Main Sponsors tend to be a bit slow and there's more going on with the package | 21:00 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: yes | 21:00 |
| LaserJock | I'm unlikely to actually upload your debdiff straight | 21:00 |
| LaserJock | we need to merge the new version of gcompris in | 21:00 |
| LaserJock | and I'd probably apply your fix at that point | 21:00 |
| LaserJock | bencrisford: anyway, I'm just pointing out that if you'd like me to sponsor something the best way is to assign or subscribe me | 21:03 |
| bencrisford | LaserJock: Yeah, I guess :) | 21:03 |
| LaserJock | I gotta run now, see y'all tomorrow | 21:03 |
| bencrisford | LaserJock: How hard is it for one to become an edubuntu developer? | 21:03 |
| LaserJock | shouldn't be horrible | 21:04 |
| bencrisford | ok :) | 21:04 |
| LaserJock | I'm setting the technical requirements to be less than MOTU | 21:04 |
| bencrisford | ill keep fixing bugs ;) | 21:04 |
| LaserJock | basically something like Contributing Developer with an interest in Edubuntu | 21:04 |
| bencrisford | i was enquiring about ubuntu universe-contributor | 21:04 |
| bencrisford | apparently its like 2-3 months visible contribution | 21:05 |
| LaserJock | *however*, that definitely shouldn't turn you away from contributing to Edubuntu packaging | 21:05 |
| bencrisford | what shouldnt? | 21:05 |
| LaserJock | the ~edubuntu-dev team is for granting write permissions, not an exclusive club of the only people who can work on Edubuntu packages | 21:05 |
| bencrisford | i know :) | 21:06 |
| LaserJock | if you've got a fix or bzr branch we'll have a look | 21:06 |
| bencrisford | yeah :), ok | 21:06 |
| LaserJock | but since it's all gotta go through a MOTU/Core Dev anyway it's really not much of a barrier | 21:06 |
| LaserJock | I don't mind doing a quick check and uploading for people | 21:07 |
| bencrisford | ok :) | 21:07 |
| LaserJock | especially so that they can get some uploads under their belt for getting Contributing Developer ;-) | 21:07 |
| bencrisford | :) | 21:07 |
| LaserJock | anyway, gotta run | 21:07 |
| pygi | hi asanchez | 21:50 |

| pygi | asanchez: what did you conclude? | 21:52 |
| nubae | k tal por alli, empieza hacer calor? | 21:52 |
| asanchez | we are thinking about "software libre public contest" | 21:53 |
| asanchez | nubae, it's so hot here, it's making me less productive | 21:53 |
| asanchez | it's impossible to do nothing until 8pm | 21:54 |
| nubae | yeah, more air conditioning needed ;-) | 21:54 |
| asanchez | i only have air conditioned in computers room at home :D | 21:54 |
| nubae | heh | 21:54 |
| pygi | asanchez: interesting, can I know more? And can it map in my initiative? | 21:56 |
| asanchez | pygi, here in Andalusia we have one specific formation level about Applications Desing and Coding and another about System Administration | 21:56 |
| asanchez | sorry, phone | 21:56 |
| asanchez | pygi, are you thinking about a global initiative, isn't it? | 22:07 |
| pygi | asanchez:possibly, yes | 22:08 |
| asanchez | We are thinking about propose some little *free software* projects that people that are finish their formation could use as final project | 22:11 |
| asanchez | other people will have mentor role (could be teacher or anybody interested) | 22:12 |
| pygi | asanchez: that's cool | 22:16 |
| asanchez | pygi, we have to sell the idea to our politician boss | 22:17 |
| pygi | :p | 22:17 |
