| sbalneav | Evening all | 02:55 |
|---|---|---|
| HedgeMage | hi | 03:01 |
| === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage | ||
| sbalneav | Morning all! | 13:52 |
| scottmaccal | good morning. | 13:52 |
| sbalneav | scottmaccal: Back at work? | 14:00 |
| LaserJock | stgraber, highvoltage: ping | 15:24 |
| LaserJock | anybody around in here? | 15:45 |
| sbalneav | me | 15:47 |
| sbalneav | just us chickens | 15:47 |
| sbalneav | When I get back home tonight, I'll test the dvd | 15:48 |
| LaserJock | alkisg: ping | 15:48 |
| alkisg | Hi all | 15:48 |
| LaserJock | hey | 15:48 |
| LaserJock | so we need a release announcement and release notes | 15:48 |
| LaserJock | what do you all want mentioned in either/both? | 15:48 |
| alkisg | That we need people to get involved with edubuntu less it dies? :D | 15:50 |
| LaserJock | alkisg: anything else? :-) | 15:51 |
| alkisg | There are many things I'd like to say, but I lack the words to express them... | 15:53 |
| alkisg | Now that edubuntu is on a dvd instead of a cd, thanks to you, it can become something better but it needs a lot of work too | 15:54 |
| alkisg | But I can't express myself about what needs to be done... | 15:56 |
| sbalneav | "Edubuntu has made major improvements in usability. It has gone back to being a full distro with a DVD installer" | 15:57 |
| sbalneav | Improvements to LTSP, and management tools also enhance the experience. | 15:57 |
| alkisg | I think we should also put a big thank you there for LaserJock which will be "retiring" | 15:59 |
| LaserJock | ok, but what has changed from Jaunty | 15:59 |
| LaserJock | what potential pitfalls are there? | 15:59 |
| alkisg | We should also specifically mention that sabayon is now again in a working state | 16:02 |
| LaserJock | ok, good one | 16:02 |
| LaserJock | edubuntu-server should be working due to jbicha's moodle fixes | 16:03 |
| LaserJock | gcompris had a pretty big version jump that includes several fixes | 16:03 |
| alkisg | italc has had some improvements in autodetecting the clients and avoiding ports in use... | 16:03 |
| alkisg | ...language support was added on the edubuntu dvd for many languages... | 16:06 |
| jbicha | Marble has a visual changelog at http://edu.kde.org/marble/current_0.8.php | 16:07 |
| sbalneav | alkisg: we closed a lot of LTSP bugs, and I'd like to plow through, for next release, a lot of the bugs on some of the other packages. | 16:21 |
| sbalneav | screem looks like it needs some love :( | 16:21 |
| alkisg | I'm trying to organize things for all greek schools that want to use standalone ubuntu installations (non-ltsp). So to be honest, I don't expect to have much time this year for bug squashing. | 16:23 |
| alkisg | I'll be creating 2-3 packages and trying to push them upstream in universe, and I'll be writing wiki pages, though | 16:24 |
| alkisg | For bugs, I'll try to help as much as I can with ltsp and italc... | 16:27 |
| LaserJock | alkisg: that that we ask is that you do what you can, when you can, everything helps! | 16:29 |
| * alkisg gives many, many hours per day to get Ubuntu to fit in Greek schools... :) | 16:30 | |
| LaserJock | yeah, that's awesome stuff | 16:31 |
| LaserJock | you need to do a brain dump sometime | 16:31 |
| LaserJock | on what kinds of things you do | 16:31 |
| alkisg | My "plan" is like this: (1) find what needs to be done for greek schools (sbalneav will hate me for abusing the unix users system) | 16:34 |
| alkisg | (2) document it (3) script it (4) make a remix out of it (5) when I see that it is out there and working for greece, I'll try to "publish" as much as people want upstream | 16:34 |
| alkisg | That last part has the most "beurocracy", which I hate... :) | 16:35 |
| ogra | sbalneav, dont forget ltsp-cluster support | 16:35 |
| ogra | (should surely be in the release notes) | 16:36 |
| ogra | LaserJock, all your new splits in the age dependant metapackages should be mentioned | 16:36 |
| jbicha | for next release, I'd like us to get subject/topic metapackages like debian-edu uses, ubuntu-edu-geography ubuntu-edu-music , etc. | 16:42 |
| ogra | that might end in endless fragmentation though | 16:42 |
| LaserJock | yeah, I'm not convinced that we need a lot more meta-packages | 16:43 |
| stgraber | LaserJock: pong | 16:43 |
| ogra | ubuntu-edu-geography-preschool, ubuntu-edu-geography-unioversity ... | 16:43 |
| LaserJock | stgraber: we need release notes and release announcement | 16:43 |
| jbicha | possibly instead of ubuntu-edu-primary | 16:43 |
| * alkisg would like for edubuntu to provide an infrastructure for *other* people to do that (=make package collections) | 16:43 | |
| stgraber | highvoltage: highvoltage started to work on something on his gobby server | 16:43 |
| stgraber | highvoltage: did you have a look ? | 16:43 |
| stgraber | doh | 16:43 |
| stgraber | LaserJock: ^ | 16:43 |
| LaserJock | stgraber: I don't know where it is | 16:43 |
| stgraber | hang on a sec, looking at my jabber log | 16:44 |
| jbicha | there's not a lot of difference between primary & preschool or between secondary & tertiary, stuff overlaps | 16:44 |
| LaserJock | currently no | 16:44 |
| jbicha | it works for debian | 16:44 |
| ogra | so you would think gcompris is a good tool for universities ? | 16:44 |
| LaserJock | Debian is quite different from Ubuntu though | 16:44 |
| ogra | yeah | 16:44 |
| stgraber | LaserJock: jono.co.za | 16:44 |
| ogra | or tuxtype | 16:45 |
| stgraber | the release notes schema is there, just need to fill it | 16:45 |
| LaserJock | k, good | 16:46 |
| jbicha | ogra: we could keep a category for young children, but "ubuntu-edu-tertiary" is too broad and not well-defined | 16:47 |
| LaserJock | that I can generally agree on | 16:48 |
| ogra | might be | 16:48 |
| LaserJock | what I think might be a better option | 16:48 |
| ogra | but turning it into task driven generates a big amount of maintenance overhead | 16:48 |
| ogra | and also puts up the question where you stop splitting | 16:49 |
| LaserJock | is to turn -tertiary or something similar into a "basic educational/research workstation" type install | 16:49 |
| LaserJock | so rather than doing specific topic-area apps | 16:49 |
| LaserJock | we do things like bibliography tools | 16:49 |
| LaserJock | writing and productivity tools | 16:49 |
| ogra | ++ | 16:49 |
| LaserJock | and some good theming | 16:50 |
| stgraber | what I discussed a few times, is to have the ability to install everything, then have filtering using xdg to only show a few entries with the list of entries to be configurable (as it depends on the grade, the country and in some cases, the region) | 16:50 |
| ogra | (not that i would have to decide anything) :) | 16:50 |
| * ogra points to edubuntu-menus | 16:50 | |
| jbicha | some categorization is useful for findability, if I wanted to find recommended music software for education in Ubuntu, where would I go? | 16:50 |
| LaserJock | right | 16:50 |
| LaserJock | well | 16:50 |
| ogra | it has so much potential | 16:50 |
| LaserJock | I think there's sort of two area | 16:50 |
| ogra | and stioll nobody finished it | 16:50 |
| LaserJock | ogra: now that I'm retired you never know ;-) | 16:51 |
| ogra | jbicha, software-center | 16:51 |
| ogra | LaserJock, hah | 16:51 |
| ogra | LaserJock, you mean like edubuntu grew a community after is stepped back ? | 16:51 |
| LaserJock | I think we can categorize without metapackages | 16:51 |
| ogra | yeah | 16:51 |
| ogra | just add the right patches to software-center | 16:52 |
| LaserJock | I think it should be considered that we have a custom software-center view | 16:52 |
| ogra | ++ | 16:52 |
| jbicha | ogra: there's 104 choices for music, I don't know if any of them are useful | 16:52 |
| jbicha | LaserJock: ooh, we can do that? | 16:52 |
| ogra | software-center is at some point supposed to replace all GUI package management tools | 16:52 |
| LaserJock | jbicha: sure, why not? | 16:52 |
| LaserJock | I was thinking this weekend | 16:52 |
| ogra | jbicha, software-.center only had its first release, its still open to improvements | 16:52 |
| ogra | lucid is the perfect time to spec such additions | 16:53 |
| LaserJock | that we need a core Edubuntu | 16:53 |
| jbicha | yeah, I just wasn't creative enough to think of that | 16:53 |
| LaserJock | that's about theming, productivity, and a general educational feel | 16:53 |
| LaserJock | *without* specific educational content areas | 16:53 |
| LaserJock | and without much age specificity | 16:53 |
| ogra | yeah | 16:54 |
| LaserJock | and then add on those layers | 16:54 |
| LaserJock | what we're doing now is the opposite | 16:54 |
| LaserJock | making the general (edubuntu-desktop) depend on the specific | 16:54 |
| LaserJock | I think we should reverse that and make the specific depend on the general | 16:54 |
| LaserJock | and make the specific more accessible to the end user | 16:54 |
| LaserJock | I think that could be done via Ubiquity and Software Center | 16:55 |
| LaserJock | essentially | 16:56 |
| LaserJock | I'm thinking Edubuntu should be "plugin" based | 16:57 |
| LaserJock | we provide a core and the means to plug in extras edu goodness | 16:57 |
| LaserJock | s/extras/extra/ | 16:57 |
| ogra | LaserJock, and you dare to resign with such an idea in mind ? tsk | 16:59 |
| LaserJock | I got the ideas | 16:59 |
| LaserJock | just not the time :( | 16:59 |
| jbicha | have we considered the KDE desktop for Edubuntu? I mean there's kde-edu but not a similar project for GNOME | 17:00 |
| LaserJock | jbicha: edubuntu-desktop-kde | 17:01 |
| LaserJock | if we consider this plugin-based design I think it would be entirely conceivable to make it work very well on Kubuntu | 17:02 |
| LaserJock | I think you still need to pick one in terms of the DVD | 17:02 |
| jbicha | but GNOME's the default, is GNOME more usable (or better supported by Ubuntu) in schools? | 17:02 |
| alkisg | How hard is it for an admin to provide a list of packages? Do we really have to give such a big focus to package selection? Wouldn't it be better if we focused in some "out of the box" solutions? (like e.g. prepared ldap/nfs configurations...) | 17:02 |
| LaserJock | alkisg: I agree | 17:02 |
| * alkisg is right onto that this year... :) | 17:03 | |
| LaserJock | but some "out of the box" solutions will be app-dependent | 17:04 |
| LaserJock | consider the "parent with small kids" solution | 17:05 |
| alkisg | Well, we could provide him a dansguardian-based solution or something... | 17:06 |
| LaserJock | preciously | 17:06 |
| LaserJock | I think looking at out of the box "solutions" as plugins to a core Edubuntu sounds interesting | 17:06 |
| LaserJock | so what's needed are: | 17:07 |
| LaserJock | 1) the core | 17:07 |
| * alkisg thinks more people will be interested in this than in meta-packages | 17:07 | |
| LaserJock | 2) a few "solutions" that Edubuntu does *very* well | 17:07 |
| LaserJock | 3) putting it all on an installation media | 17:07 |
| LaserJock | it would be good *hint* to spec this out and see if it could work for Lucid | 17:09 |
| jbicha | so these "solutions" would be separate from the normal deb dependency system....because otherwise it's just metapackages with a different name (& possibly philosophy) | 17:12 |
| LaserJock | they might be implemented via metapackages | 17:15 |
| LaserJock | it doesn't matter a whole lot | 17:15 |
| LaserJock | it's more the design of it than the actual implementation method | 17:16 |
| jbicha | by the way, does anyone have a list of stuff that needs to be packaged, the software I could find (like BlueJ) has been too complicated | 17:18 |
| LaserJock | unless something is brand new, if we dont' have a package yet in Debian/Ubuntu it's probably for a reason :-0 | 17:19 |
| LaserJock | :-) rather | 17:19 |
| alkisg | LaserJock (since I think is in your field) have you looked at http://phet.colorado.edu/index.php for packaging? | 17:20 |
| jbicha | yeah, but...you say you need help with packaging | 17:21 |
| LaserJock | jbicha: ah, well by packaging I usually mean package maintenance | 17:22 |
| LaserJock | jbicha: things like that moodle fixing you did | 17:22 |
| LaserJock | alkisg: I don't think those are open source | 17:22 |
| jbicha | LaserJock: oh ok, that's probably better than starting from scratch anyway | 17:23 |
| jbicha | http://phet.colorado.edu/about/licensing.php | 17:23 |
| LaserJock | ok, yeah, great | 17:23 |
| LaserJock | so yeah, I guess they'd be a candidate | 17:24 |
| alkisg | scratch could also be a candidate... | 17:24 |
| LaserJock | it used to be we didn't have a Free java VM, which ruled out us shipping and java apps | 17:24 |
| alkisg | http://scratch.mit.edu/ | 17:24 |
| * LaserJock runs | 17:24 | |
| alkisg | Heh :) | 17:24 |
| LaserJock | I don't want to touch anything related to Squeak :-) | 17:24 |
| LaserJock | but yeah, somebody should look at scratch | 17:25 |
| alkisg | Also I've heard many teachers here using http://belvedere.sourceforge.net/ ... | 17:27 |
| LaserJock | interesting | 17:28 |
| alkisg | Finally, klatin was used but is no longer maintained upstream :( | 17:29 |
| LaserJock | yeah, that died during KDE3 -> KDE4 | 17:30 |
| jbicha | oh, neat, there's already a PPA for scratch https://launchpad.net/~scratch/+archive/ppa | 17:37 |
| mhall119|work | what about squeak? | 18:00 |
| mhall119|work | scratch is a cool game | 18:01 |
| mhall119|work | kind of like etoys, only with pre-made art and nicer puzzle-shaped blocks | 18:01 |
| LaserJock | mhall119|work: squeak and I have a long and not-very-pleasant past :-) | 18:05 |
| mhall119|work | heh, I can understand | 18:07 |
| sbalneav | ok, time for me and jammcq to head to the airport | 18:10 |
| sbalneav | be on tonight | 18:11 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: k | 18:13 |
| LaserJock | hmm | 18:41 |
| LaserJock | I wonder if we should combine the release notes and release announcement | 18:41 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: pong | 18:42 |
| highvoltage | hi LaserJock | 18:42 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: my initial understanding was that it would be pretty much the same | 18:43 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: sorry that I didn't finish it (or even start it properly), I just haven't been able to concentrate enough to just get it done | 18:43 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: well, the Ubuntu release notes are mostly (here are known problems) | 18:44 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: whereas the release announcement is all the "this is who we are and how you get it" | 18:45 |
| LaserJock | I don't know how many "known problems" we're going to have that aren't already covered in Ubuntu's notes | 18:45 |
| LaserJock | perhaps we should have Release Notes be the full version with all the info | 18:46 |
| LaserJock | and the announcement just be a brief couple paragraphs | 18:46 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: that sounds like a very good | 18:48 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: awesome opening paragraph you put there | 18:48 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: thanks | 18:49 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: do you have a little time now? | 18:49 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: yep | 18:50 |
| LaserJock | stgraber: available'ish? | 18:50 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: it looks like what Ubuntu does is write the release notes on the wiki and keep a copy there, but the official location (where user and links go to) is on the website | 18:51 |
| stgraber | LaserJock: doing some iso testing, so yeah | 18:51 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: I think it would make sense to do similar so we can update the release notes (I'm guessing there'll have more "known issues" after release) | 18:51 |
| LaserJock | my general thought is that the Release Notes should be a bit more prominent | 18:51 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: ok | 18:52 |
| LaserJock | in the sense that as time goes by after release and big issues come up | 18:52 |
| LaserJock | we should document them in the Known Issues | 18:52 |
| LaserJock | and *then* point people their | 18:52 |
| LaserJock | *there | 18:52 |
| LaserJock | so like last release we had this stupid bug in Gcompris that I couldn't fix via an SRU | 18:52 |
| LaserJock | that should have gone into the release notes, even though I found out about it post-release | 18:53 |
| LaserJock | and when people had problems I could at least point to the release notes | 18:53 |
| LaserJock | it could be sort of a "go there first, then ask questions" type thing | 18:53 |
| LaserJock | thoughts? | 18:54 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: I have to leave for a few mintes, I'll be back in about 10 minutes (sorry just have to help someone quickly) | 18:54 |
| LaserJock | np | 18:54 |
| stgraber | LaserJock: sounds good | 18:55 |
| stgraber | not sure we have anything broken at the moment (other than what's common with Ubuntu) | 18:56 |
| LaserJock | right | 18:56 |
| stgraber | so we should redirect readers to Ubuntu's as well | 18:56 |
| stgraber | what's the state of Moodle ? I remember reading about some issues there, has that been fixed ? | 18:56 |
| LaserJock | we are | 18:56 |
| LaserJock | I *think* it's fixed :-) | 18:56 |
| LaserJock | that was going to be something that was going in Known Issues, but I think jbica has fixed that | 18:57 |
| LaserJock | for know we can basically leave an empty section with "Important issues and workarounds will be noted here" | 18:57 |
| stgraber | "At the time of the release, we haven't been made aware of any issues outside of these listed in the Ubuntu release notes. Additional information may be added here at a later time" ? | 18:58 |
| LaserJock | yeah, perfect | 18:59 |
| highvoltage | hmmm | 19:30 |
| LaserJock | uh oh | 19:31 |
| LaserJock | what'd I do now | 19:31 |
| highvoltage | not you, LP :) | 19:31 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage, stgraber: can you guys read over what I have so far? | 19:32 |
| highvoltage | LP's UI and I have never gotten along quite well | 19:32 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: I went through it and I think it's good | 19:32 |
| LaserJock | hmm, there was something I was remembering that should go into known issues but I've forgotten | 19:33 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: what's the URL for the edubuntu bugs again? I'm failing to find it atm | 19:33 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: I just added some to What's New | 19:33 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: bugs.launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugsquad/+packagereport ? | 19:33 |
| LaserJock | that's from memory so YMMV | 19:33 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: on the ltsp-cluster line, it has been available before, but what's new this time is that it's now available in the ubuntu archives | 19:35 |
| LaserJock | well | 19:35 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: I've modified the description but I'm not sure whether it's nice. | 19:35 |
| LaserJock | it doesn't exist until it's in the archives :-) | 19:36 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: our previous release notes disagrees! | 19:36 |
| LaserJock | fine, be that way ;-p | 19:36 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: how's that? | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: good, although reading the 9.04 announcements again I think it's fine like it was | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: it (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/WikiSite/Release/9.04/ReleaseNotes) just mentioned that the thin client supported ltsp-cluster, not that it was available for installation | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: so your original point there was probably fine | 19:37 |
| LaserJock | well | 19:38 |
| LaserJock | tbh I'm kinda of not considering the 9.04 release notes much | 19:38 |
| LaserJock | that was the old Edubuntu! | 19:38 |
| highvoltage | :) | 19:38 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: *hug* | 19:38 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage, stgraber: time to put this on the wiki? | 19:54 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: +1 | 19:55 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: I can't think of anything important that isn't covered yet | 19:55 |
| LaserJock | what URL do we want? | 19:55 |
| LaserJock | /Edubuntu/Release/9.10/ReleaseNotes? | 19:55 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: http://wiki.edubuntu.org/edubuntu/edubuntuwikisite/wikisite/officialnotes/releasenotes/karmic/9.04/KarmicReleaseNotes | 19:56 |
| * highvoltage ducks | 19:56 | |
| LaserJock | or should it be /Releases/ (i kind of have a problem with putting multple things into a singular category but maybe that's just me) | 19:56 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: as in /Edubuntu/Releases/9.10 ? | 19:57 |
| LaserJock | yeah | 19:57 |
| highvoltage | I think that's good | 19:57 |
| LaserJock | just because we're putting multiple releases in there | 19:57 |
| highvoltage | *nod* | 19:58 |
| stgraber | LaserJock: +1 | 20:03 |
| LaserJock | stgraber, highvoltage (and anybody else): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Releases/9.10/ReleaseNotes | 20:10 |
| LaserJock | I tweaked the known issues section | 20:10 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: thanks, that's a relief | 20:12 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage, stgraber: now working on announcement | 20:14 |
| LaserJock | I've copied over the top bits from the release notes | 20:14 |
| LaserJock | I think if we condense that a bit and add in a "Where to get it" I think it should be good | 20:15 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: so the Release Announcements will be a few paragraphs? | 20:15 |
| LaserJock | yeah, I think it should be pretty brief | 20:15 |
| LaserJock | I guess the most important things are "hey, we're new!" and "here's how you get it" | 20:16 |
| LaserJock | thoughts? | 20:16 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: yeah | 20:16 |
| LaserJock | gah | 20:21 |
| highvoltage | and a live gah? | 20:21 |
| LaserJock | what the heck do you call a LiveCD session? | 20:21 |
| LaserJock | I want words normal people can understand | 20:22 |
| highvoltage | I've never known it by any other name than a "Live CD session" | 20:22 |
| highvoltage | I guess you could spell it out like "try it out by running it directly from the DVD without installing" or something similar | 20:23 |
| LaserJock | how does that sound? | 20:24 |
| highvoltage | yeah | 20:25 |
| highvoltage | feels like it's missing something | 20:25 |
| highvoltage | I'm in a weird perfectionistic mode where nothing just feels right. sorry :/ | 20:25 |
| highvoltage | I've made a slight change but if it doesn't sound right feel free to remove | 20:26 |
| LaserJock | well it's only a problem if you dont' fix it ;-) | 20:26 |
| LaserJock | ah, much better, IMO | 20:26 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: how about just plain "modifying your computer"? | 20:27 |
| highvoltage | k | 20:27 |
| highvoltage | (I was thinking of that too) | 20:28 |
| LaserJock | good | 20:28 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: s/try/run/ ? | 20:28 |
| highvoltage | k | 20:29 |
| LaserJock | let's move on to installation before we pick it to death :-) | 20:29 |
| highvoltage | heh, indeed | 20:29 |
| highvoltage | I'm bummed that I don't have an edubuntu iso and not enough bandwidth do sync up :/ | 20:29 |
| highvoltage | it would be nice to have an installation guide with screenshots again | 20:30 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: since we already described what you can do with the DVD above I suggest we maybe just tell how to get the .iso and link to how to burn it | 20:30 |
| highvoltage | I guess I could still do that after the 1st | 20:30 |
| LaserJock | sure | 20:30 |
| highvoltage | (brb) | 20:37 |
| vmlintu | Hi! Anyone else getting nbd+squashfs errors when rebooting ltsp thin clients on karmic? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/457702 | 20:42 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 457702 in ubuntu "nbd+squashfs errors when rebooting ltsp thin clients" [Undecided,New] | 20:42 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: I don't have isos but I have the karmic repositories at least | 20:44 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: if you don't find a kde user I could install kde on my netbook if there's enough space | 20:44 |
| LaserJock | it's just a quick thing | 20:45 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Releases/9.10/ReleaseAnnouncement | 20:47 |
| LaserJock | I want to add a thing on how to install the app bundles from Kubuntu | 20:48 |
| highvoltage | LaserJock: ok installing kpackagekit... I just confirmed with #kubuntu that that's what they actually use | 20:51 |
| LaserJock | good grief | 21:03 |
| LaserJock | like all the servers are crawling today | 21:03 |
| highvoltage | I guess everyone is keeping their debmirrors as up to date as possible in anticipation | 21:04 |
| LaserJock | I need to get how to get to kpackagekit :( | 21:05 |
| LaserJock | ok, done | 21:11 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage: can you do the wiki - > edubuntu.org on release day? | 21:12 |
| LaserJock | highvoltage, stgraber: OK, I'm done. | 21:16 |
| LaserJock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Releases/9.10/ReleaseAnnouncement | 21:16 |
| LaserJock | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Releases/9.10/ReleaseNotes | 21:16 |
| LaserJock | ^^ those need to be put on edubuntu.org for release day | 21:17 |
| LaserJock | make sure to note that there are 2 FIXME markers in the announcement | 21:17 |
| LaserJock | I don't know what the exact URL for the .iso is going to be | 21:17 |
| LaserJock | There is a hopefully final .iso up at http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/dvd/20091027.1/ | 21:18 |
| LaserJock | please test those if you can | 21:18 |
| LaserJock | and with that I'm out | 21:19 |
| LaserJock | not sure when I'll be on next | 21:19 |
| LaserJock | so have a great release everybody and thanks! | 21:19 |

| dtrask | Hey all....I need help....this is somewhat related to edubuntu as it is for Open1to1.org and the image that I create for school netbooks.... | 22:57 |
| dtrask | I have had schools complaining that students are creating "ad hoc" networks via network-manager and thus wreaking havoc on the school wireless network | 22:57 |
| dtrask | does anyone know of a way (clean or hack...I'm desperate here) of disabling the ability to create...and/or connect to an ad-hoc wireless network? | 22:58 |
