| sbalneav | Evening all | 01:19 |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmuck_ | ogra | 01:59 |
| sbalneav | He's probably off for the weekend. | 02:11 |
| Ahmuck_ | k, nm, i think i found what i needed | 02:12 |
| Ahmuck_ | good thing he's getting a weekend off. | 02:12 |
| Ahmuck_ | my weekend is filled with cattle | 02:13 |
| Ahmuck_ | :) | 02:13 |
| sbalneav | My dinner was filled with cattle | 02:15 |
| Ahmuck_ | heh | 02:36 |
| Ahmuck_ | a good meal is ... provided your not a vege, grilled onion, zuccini, beef, chop, hollow out a long bun, and place inside with some spices, cheese on top, and put a topper on it. :) | 02:37 |
| Ahmuck_ | 9.10 is a lts release? | 02:45 |
| sbalneav | No | 02:50 |
| sbalneav | regular release | 02:50 |
| sbalneav | 10.04 will be LTS | 02:51 |
| sbalneav | That's why we REALLY need to work on the spit-n-polish for this time around. | 02:51 |
| Ahmuck_ | 9.10 was a regular release for all of ubuntu? | 02:51 |
| Ahmuck_ | i'm impressed with 9.10 | 02:52 |
| Ahmuck_ | any chance of getting anki packaged for ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| sbalneav | Sure. Go ahead and package it :) | 02:53 |
| sbalneav | I'm meeting up with LaserJock this weekend to learn packaging. | 02:54 |
| papajones | Hello, I think I have installed Edubuntu but am a little confused. I keep seeing it referred to as a "desktop", but other than a few new programs appearing in my Applicatoins menu, I'm not sure i've installed this correctly... | 03:33 |
| papajones | Still seems just like a regular ubuntu desktop | 03:33 |
| HedgeMage | papajones: All that edubuntu is is a bunch of apps and art for educational uses. :) | 03:34 |
| papajones | I also see mention of different themes on this page http://www.edubuntu.org/Screenshots - but I don't see thse anywhere to choose from | 03:34 |
| papajones | where is the art installed/ | 03:34 |
| papajones | ? | 03:35 |
| HedgeMage | hmmm... I think in Gnome you right-click the background (desktop) then choose "change image" or something like that, and theme should be a tab. | 03:35 |
| HedgeMage | (I use Xfce lately, so I'm not 100% sure where things are in Gnome) | 03:36 |
| papajones | I tried that, but I only see the same old stuff that came with Ubuntu | 03:36 |
| HedgeMage | Hmmm. | 03:38 |
| papajones | Well, the apps I've looked at seem nice, I had just thought there would be some main launcher or "desktop" to bring them all together | 03:39 |
| HedgeMage | papajones: If you hang around a bit, someone who actually uses Gnome will show up eventually. | 03:39 |
| Ahmuck_ | papajones, you can create one | 03:39 |
| Ahmuck_ | a application launch bar | 03:39 |
| Ahmuck_ | in regards to art, what are you looking for? | 03:40 |
| sbalneav | papajones: Edubuntu = Ubuntu + Educational apps + LTSP thin clients all in one big package. | 03:41 |
| papajones | I will look into creating an applicatoin launch bar | 03:41 |
| sbalneav | It won't look much different. | 03:41 |
| papajones | Ah, OK. This page here http://www.edubuntu.org/FAQ keeps referring to Edubuntu as an O.S. | 03:41 |
| sbalneav | it is | 03:41 |
| papajones | hence my confusoin, as nothing seems to have changed (other than the apps) | 03:41 |
| sbalneav | It is an os. One based on Ubuntu. | 03:42 |
| sbalneav | it's no different from Kubuntu, or Xubuntu | 03:42 |
| Ahmuck_ | sbalneav: sorta. qimo does this | 03:42 |
| papajones | Ahmuck_, not looking for any art in particular, other than to confirm it got installed. I can't the backgrounds that are shown on tihs page http://www.edubuntu.org/Screenshots | 03:43 |
| Ahmuck_ | http://www.qimo4kids.com/Images/Screenshots/WhatIsQimo.jpg - papajones i think that bar at the bottom is what your looking for | 03:43 |
| sbalneav | papajones: Those are older screenshots. They should be replaced. | 03:44 |
| sbalneav | But we don't have anyone to mind for the web site right at the moment. | 03:44 |
| papajones | One last thing that was confusing, was in the Ubuntu Software Center, when I was looking to install it, the description says "This package depends on the complete set of Edubuntu-supported packages..." -- thus, not sure if there were other dependencies I needed to install beforehand... | 03:46 |
| sbalneav | No, you can always just install software, the packaging will take care of any dependancies you need. | 03:47 |
| papajones | You have all been a great help, thank you! | 03:49 |
| Ahmuck_ | nobody to mind the website? | 03:49 |
| papajones | The qimo4kids looks interesting.... But not a part of edubuntu, no? | 03:51 |
| Ahmuck_ | no | 03:52 |
| Ahmuck_ | edubuntu, qimo, is a themed ubuntu install with a set of pre-selected applications | 03:52 |
| Ahmuck_ | more recently, (have not tried 9.10 yet) edubuntu may also come with some ltsp server and management utilities | 03:53 |
| papajones | i do see mention of that on the site, not anything I'm going to be interested in at the moment | 03:55 |
| papajones | I was looking to just get something point-n-clickable for my kids | 03:56 |
| Ahmuck_ | add a bar at the bottom of the screen. i've tested this type of installation, and it works far better than an application menu. kids are drawn to it | 03:58 |
| Ahmuck_ | add your apps that you want them to use, and you'll have a great time :) | 03:58 |
| papajones | still getting used to GNOME, will be looking into that shortly, thank you! | 03:59 |
| sbalneav | Ahmuck_: No, we need a website maintainer. | 04:01 |
| papajones | Ahmuck_, do you mean a "Lanucher" ? | 04:01 |
| papajones | Launcher i mean | 04:01 |
| Ahmuck_ | sbalneav: i won't volunteer for the job, but i might be interested in looking into it | 04:03 |
| Ahmuck_ | papajones: want step by step instructions? | 04:03 |
| Ahmuck_ | right click an empty area on the menu bar | 04:04 |
| Ahmuck_ | select "new panel | 04:04 |
| papajones | ah i see | 04:05 |
| papajones | then orient it | 04:05 |
| Ahmuck_ | correct | 04:06 |
| Ahmuck_ | then add to panel | 04:06 |
| Ahmuck_ | application launcher | 04:06 |
| sbalneav | I beleive the website's a drupal instance. | 04:06 |
| Ahmuck_ | select your apps | 04:06 |
| Ahmuck_ | then you can customize the new panel so that it only fits the lenght of the icons on it | 04:07 |
| Ahmuck_ | as well as increase the hieght | 04:07 |
| papajones | Looking good! | 04:07 |
| Ahmuck_ | sbalneav: well, i've been meaning to get down into the dirt of drupal, so i guess this is just yet another reason | 04:07 |
| papajones | I think this looks like it will fit the bill, Ahmuck_ | 04:08 |
| Ahmuck_ | :) | 04:08 |
| papajones | It will be another matter to perhaps just set this up once under my login, then copy the same panel to my kids' logins? | 04:09 |
| papajones | i think i've alreday got that figured out now too | 04:10 |
| sbalneav | Well, I've got packaging class tomorrow | 04:13 |
| sbalneav | see you all | 04:13 |
| papajones | i'm gonna head out too for the night; thanks again for the help getting started! | 04:27 |
| Ahmuck_ | np | 04:30 |
| Ahmuck_ | nn for me as well | 04:31 |
| calimer | Hi, I'm from Platinum Arts Sandbox free 3d Game maker, and I just wanted to mention that I set up a channel on freenode #sandbox if there are any questions or anything I can help with for SB going into edubuntu | 16:02 |
| jbicha | calimer: I don't think the license used by Platinum Arts Sandbox is compatible with Debian/Ubuntu | 16:49 |
| calimer | I would hope the debian free one is | 17:02 |
| jbicha | calimer: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-legal@lists.debian.org/msg40350.html | 17:03 |
| calimer | that's obviously not the debian free version | 17:05 |
| jbicha | once sandbox is in Debian, it should be easy to get it in the Ubuntu repositories | 17:12 |
