| Pete_B | Hi. As I understand it, to install an Ubuntu 9.04 Education Edition server I need to boot with the Ubuntu 9.04 Alternate CD, press F4 and choose 'LTSP. However when I press F4, the only option is 'Normal'. How come? | 13:40 |
| nubae | Pete_B, u probably did not download alternate | 13:43 |
| nubae | and its the desktop alternate cd u need | 13:43 |
| Pete_B | nubae: that's presicely what I think I have. It doesn;t offer 'try Ubuntu without touching the machine' menu option, so that's Alternate right? | 13:43 |
| nubae | yeah think so | 13:44 |
| Pete_B | nubae: why's it not on the Server CD anyway? being as LTSP's a server program? | 13:45 |
| nubae | good question | 13:45 |
| nubae | well, think its because it needs the desktop files | 13:46 |
| Pete_B | I see | 13:46 |
| Pete_B | Hey...I've just tried this CD a third time and this time the 4 options are there. How incredibly weird. | 13:46 |
| highvoltage | Pete_B, nubae: I believe it's because LTSP needs a desktop environment to work | 13:50 |
| Pete_B | highvoltage: thanks for that | 13:53 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | does anyone know how to change the NIC wakeonlan broadcasts from? | 16:32 |
| LaserJock | good news people | 17:20 |
| LaserJock | we're building a DVD! \o/ | 17:20 |
| alkisg | Yeah! Starting from the Ubuntu DVD and ripping it down? | 17:21 |
| LaserJock | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/dvd/ | 17:22 |
| ogra | LaserJock, probably it would be helpful to ask cjwatson to add you to the reciever list for build failures :) | 17:22 |
| LaserJock | and yes, right now it is *exactly* the Ubuntu DVD | 17:22 |
| LaserJock | ogra: those are .iso build failures? | 17:22 |
| * ogra got various chunks of mail on the WE while it was being set up and not working | 17:22 | |
| ogra | yeah | 17:22 |
| LaserJock | stgraber: around? | 17:23 |
| ogra | it has to happen in the build scripts | 17:23 |
| highvoltage | hi everyone | 17:41 |
| LaserJock | yikes, sabayon has been removed from Debian | 17:45 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: why? | 17:49 |
| LaserJock | most likely because it's been broken for so long | 17:49 |
| LaserJock | I think Debian has had an ancient version forever | 17:49 |
| LaserJock | and I doubt it works with Gnome 2.26 | 17:49 |
| LaserJock | unfortunately it seems that it's so dependent on distro that you have to have somebody from your distro in upstream to have a chance of keeping it working | 17:50 |
| highvoltage | pretty much like ltsp | 17:50 |
| LaserJock | except is seems that only Red Hat/openSUSE people are doing much, other than sbalneav | 17:54 |
| Machi | hey guys | 19:13 |
| Machi | Can someone help me making an internal hard drive stay mounted | 19:13 |
| Lns | Machi...not when you leave 4 minutes after asking =p | 19:19 |
| LaserJock | phew, so we've got to untangle these Ubuntu seeds | 19:25 |
| Lns | LaserJock: untangle seeds? | 19:28 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | LaserJock: it was you with whom I was talking about doing 'user guides' for the edubuntu apps, correct? If yes, I need some input. | 19:28 |
| LaserJock | Lns: we've got a DVD going now, but we need to figure out what files need to be added/edited to get our Edu stuff going | 19:29 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: yep, what do you need? | 19:29 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | I'm not familiar enough with Ubuntu's official documentation styles, and I'm concerned that for parents and teachers those styles will be offputting at any rate. Would you be ok with just a guide on how the apps work? | 19:30 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: yeah, maybe the first step is to just get guides on the individual apps | 19:33 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | that's my thought, as well. | 19:33 |
| LaserJock | then we can figure out how exactly we want to "package" it | 19:33 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | sounds reasonable to me. Where would you like me to put these things as I get them done? | 19:33 |
| LaserJock | are you going to write them in docbook or wiki? | 19:33 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | erm, right now, I am just making my notes, and will go from there. I was thinking wiki, as I got the impression that styles weren't quite such a big deal for the wiki documentation area. | 19:34 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | I'd like to submit them to docbook eventually, but again, am so unfamiliar with the packaging it'll take me a bit. | 19:35 |
| LaserJock | ok, so maybe the first step would be to just wiki'ze it, which means we can also get more review/contributions | 19:36 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | sounds good. | 19:36 |
| mhall119|work | once the text is written, it will be significantly easier to convert | 19:36 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: so how about using wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/AppGuides/ for a namespace | 19:37 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | AppGuides would be good | 19:37 |
| LaserJock | so just make /Edubuntu/AppGuides/<name of app> pages | 19:37 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | mhall119|work: you can help me figure that out, right? | 19:37 |
| mhall119|work | erm... | 19:37 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | I'll figure it out | 19:37 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | :-) | 19:38 |
| mhall119|work | The Ubuntu wiki is different from mediawiki, which I am using for growingupfree.org | 19:38 |
| LaserJock | ah, right | 19:38 |
| LaserJock | it's moinmoin | 19:38 |
| mhall119|work | it has nice templating features that I'm not real familiar with | 19:38 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | ok, well, I'll go figure out something. | 19:38 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | :-) | 19:38 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: if you have a Launchpad account you can just log into the wiki and then point your browser to the URL you want to create | 19:38 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: there will be an option on the page that comes up to start a new page | 19:39 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | I do have a launchpad account. awesome | 19:39 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: as far as syntax, I think there's a quick guide at the bottom of the editor box | 19:39 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | LaserJock: thanks for being patient with me | 19:40 |
| LaserJock | no, thank you for being willing to contribute! | 19:40 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | just gotta get the structure figured out. :-D | 19:41 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | ah ha. | 19:42 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | excellent. | 19:43 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | OK, wonderful. gCompris is going to take me a couple of days to finish up, I might have to add it in parts to start with, since it's quite large in terms of game selection. | 19:45 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | I'll keep everyone posted! | 19:45 |
| mhall119|work | Michelle_Qimo1: remind me tonight to help you get a GPG key onto launchpad, and get the code of conduct signed | 19:49 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | ok | 19:50 |
| mhall119|work | it might also be good to join the Edubuntu team in launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-members | 19:52 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | LaserJock: and any one else... would my joining the team be OK? | 19:53 |
| LaserJock | ah | 19:54 |
| LaserJock | well, actually the Edubuntu Members is about the only team we have that has requirements for admittance | 19:54 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | aah | 19:55 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | ok | 19:55 |
| LaserJock | because becoming an Edubuntu Member also gives you Ubuntu Membership so we have to have the same requirements | 19:55 |
| LaserJock | the requirement is "significant and sustained contribution" | 19:55 |
| LaserJock | something roughly like 2-3 of active work on the project | 19:55 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | ok. Well, I've been considering applying for Ubuntu membership once these App guides are rolling, so I'll add that to my list. | 19:55 |
| mhall119|work | should we apply for Ubuntu Membership first then? | 19:56 |
| LaserJock | no | 19:56 |
| LaserJock | you can choose to Ubuntu Membership or Edubuntu Membership | 19:56 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | oh | 19:56 |
| LaserJock | the later gives you Ubuntu Membership automatically | 19:56 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | aah | 19:56 |
| LaserJock | so it's just up to you really | 19:56 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | darn touchpad on my laptop. closing things | 19:57 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: yeah, I turn of the tap-to-click on my touchpad so I don't do things like that | 19:59 |
| LaserJock | *off | 19:59 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | mhall119|work has that on his list of things to teach me when he gets home. :-) | 19:59 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: it should be in the Touchpad tab of System -> Preferences -> Mouse | 20:00 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | ah. I see it | 20:01 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | that's better, I think. | 20:01 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | thanks. :-) | 20:01 |
| mhall119|work | LaserJock: there is a new Gnome utility called GPointingDeviceSettings that has some better options than just disbling tap-to-click all together | 20:04 |
| LaserJock | cool | 20:04 |
| mhall119|work | I think it's targetted for Karmic, but I compiled it on Jaunty and it works | 20:04 |
| mhall119|work | has a "Palm Detection" setting, which can tell when it's your palm not fingers on the touchpad | 20:05 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | LaserJock: thanks for your help. I will keep you posted as I work on these appguides. | 20:07 |
| LaserJock | Michelle_Qimo1: don't hesitate to email edubuntu-devel with your progress of if you want some advice/help | 20:09 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | ok, will so. :-) | 20:10 |
| Michelle_Qimo1 | do | 20:10 |
