| Michelle_Qimo | what's up? | 00:15 |
| ace_suares | hi Michelle_Qimo mhall119 | 00:23 |
| ace_suares | h ehe he | 00:23 |
| ace_suares | I got Qimo 'running' on a 64 MB 500 Mhz Celeron laptop, a Comapq Pessarium :-) | 00:23 |
| Michelle_Qimo | oh yeah? | 00:33 |
| Michelle_Qimo | how'd you manage that one? | 00:34 |

| DrLaserJock | \o/ | 01:14 |
| mhall1191 | DrLaserJock: you got it? | 01:15 |
| HedgeMage | hi, DrLaserJock :) | 01:16 |
| DrLaserJock | mhall1191: yep | 01:17 |
| mhall1191 | congrats Dr. | 01:17 |
| Michelle_Qimo | DrLaserJock: Congratulations!! | 01:18 |
| ace_suares | W000t for Dr LaserJock! | 01:40 |
| mhall1191 | hey ace_suares | 01:41 |
| ace_suares | hi mhall119 i know stuff about qimo that you don't know ;-)))) | 01:43 |
| * Michelle_Qimo is listening intently to ace_suares | 01:44 | |
| mhall1191 | do tell | 01:47 |
| ace_suares | heh he | 01:47 |
| ace_suares | well first off, 'running' is a bit overstated. It's crawling so slow that the desktop takes 35 minutes to come up fully. But I got the eskimo and the icons down below and the Menu in the left corner... and I can spin the harddisk by moving the mouse. | 01:48 |
| ace_suares | Of course it won't INSTALL on 64MB... but I fixed that by taking out the Harddisk, put it in a usb enclosure, boot up another PC with sufficient RAM and all that, installed on the USB harddisk... then put the harddisk back into the laptop. Oh it's a 5GB harddisk with now 128 MB swap and the rest is / | 01:49 |
| ace_suares | So if the installer gets a bit more lean, I bet you could install it on computers with 64+32 MB ram and have them 'work'. | 01:50 |
| ace_suares | I doubt if tuxpaint etc will work but hey it's fun to see. I'll make a photo :-) | 01:50 |
| mhall1191 | thanks | 01:53 |
| mhall1191 | I think 128M would be a good target | 01:53 |
| mhall1191 | we're not claiming to be a light-weight distro like DSL or Crunchbang, just a usably-light distro | 01:53 |
| Michelle_Qimo | interesting. | 01:54 |
| ace_suares | you could be a light-weight distro and then be really fast on 256 MB :-) | 01:55 |
| ace_suares | I just started calculator and it took a minute but then I can move it around the screen and looks quite workable! | 01:57 |
| ace_suares | Except the name Qimo... is that pronounced like 'chemo', the cancer therapy? | 01:58 |
| mhall1191 | no, like the kimo part of eskimo | 01:59 |
| Michelle_Qimo | kim-oh | 02:03 |
| ace_suares | email address for pictures? | 02:09 |
| mhall1191 | michael@qimo4kids.com or michelle@qimo4kids.com | 02:10 |
| mhall1191 | depending on which of us you like better :) | 02:10 |
| ace_suares | well your names are almost the same so... | 02:13 |
| ace_suares | have you got them ? | 02:15 |
| Michelle_Qimo | not yet | 02:18 |
| ace_suares | i sent them to michael | 02:19 |
| * Michelle_Qimo leans over to look at his laptop | 02:19 | |
| ace_suares | tuxpaint is working, be it very slow | 02:21 |
| Michelle_Qimo | very cool | 02:21 |
| ace_suares | tuxpaint has sound too! | 02:21 |
| ace_suares | isnt' that neet? on a 64MB laptop! | 02:22 |
| Michelle_Qimo | awesome! that's fantastic | 02:22 |
| ace_suares | the puzzle in childsplay works at normal speed, with sound! | 02:26 |
| ace_suares | got the pics yet? | 02:26 |
| * Michelle_Qimo pokes mhall119 | 02:29 | |
| Michelle_Qimo | yep, got 'em | 02:30 |
| Michelle_Qimo | fantastic! Good to know it's possible | 02:31 |
| ace_suares | just played pong against the AI... well if pong wouldnt' work i'd start falling off my faith... | 02:31 |
| ace_suares | well niow pong crashed.. he he | 02:34 |
| ace_suares | gonna look on ebay to find a 128 MB module for this thing | 02:34 |
| ace_suares | have fun u 2 ! | 02:34 |
| Michelle_Qimo | lol, keep us posted! | 02:34 |
| ace_suares | will do | 02:34 |
| mhall1191 | can anyone here help me with PPAs? | 02:57 |
| ace_suares | mhall119 going to bed soon but what's you q? | 03:01 |

| LaserJock | morning everybody | 17:33 |
| highvoltage | morning LaserJock | 18:09 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: LTSP Cluster is more or less in shape packaging wise. Any ideas for MOTU work that can be done for Edubuntu? | 18:10 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: there are a couple tasks maybe | 18:11 |
| LaserJock | one would be trolling through the Edubuntu bugs looking for patches that can be uploaded or just packaging bugs that should be fairly easy | 18:12 |
| LaserJock | another thing would be to get together a list of Universe packages we want to include and go over their bugs | 18:14 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: cool, I'll look at the bugs list so long | 18:16 |
| Ahmuck | edubuntu uses nbd and fuse? | 19:48 |
| mhall119|work | hello eduteam | 19:49 |
| mhall119|work | wanted to share with you guys that I'm starting on Qimo packages: https://launchpad.net/~mhall119/+archive/ppa | 19:49 |
| alkisg | Ahmuck: ltsp yes, but I don't think that edubuntu uses nbd... | 20:01 |
| highvoltage | Ahmuck-Jr: ltsp does, yes | 20:15 |
| highvoltage | (sorry only saw alkisg now) | 20:15 |
| Ahmuck | firefox have a big memory hole? | 23:02 |
| Ahmuck | 2+ G of memory and the server is telling me it's out of memory | 23:02 |
| Lns | Ahmuck: how many clients on the 2G server? | 23:07 |
| mhall1191 | I think FF doesn't do so well running multiple instances | 23:22 |
| mhall1191 | unlike other apps, the majority of FF's memory usage can't be shared across instances, since it's cache and history and such | 23:23 |
| mhall1191 | you might try reducing the amount of page caching it does, limit the history, and reduce in-memory caches | 23:24 |
| Lns | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/Firefox3Optimize | 23:26 |
| Lns | Ahmuck: how did you determine it was firefox causing the memory probs? | 23:27 |
| Ahmuck | dead reckoning | 23:32 |
| Ahmuck | top is showing me 18% of mem being used by firefox. server side only | 23:34 |
| Ahmuck | Lns: i can't download anything at all, not even a 2mb file, shows i'm out of mem | 23:35 |
| Ahmuck | nm, i found the bad process | 23:36 |
| dgroos | Does iTALC on LTSP Jaunty auto detect computers? I can't get it to do so. | 23:46 |
| dgroos | I just installed iTALC in the client chroot of the jaunty LTSP install, following the directions on the ubuntu wiki. | 23:47 |
| Lns | dgroos: unfortunately, i haven't heard of many people who have gotten italc to work very well w/ltsp..stgraber isn't around but he has done a lot of work with it, might be useful to ask him when he's around | 23:55 |
| dgroos | I used it last year in class and it worked ok. It is one of the critical apps for a lab situation. I'll try asking again tomorrow--thanks! | 23:58 |
| Lns | np! | 23:59 |
| Lns | dgroos: out of curiosity, what do you use italc the most for (most commonly used functionality) ? | 23:59 |
