Ahmuck | i noticed that Windows 7 has a parental control and time program in it. What options are out there for edubuntu and/or ltsp ? | 00:56 |
---|---|---|
mhall119 | Ahmuck: there's a few of them out there, none that are really great | 01:13 |
mhall119 | even Linus himself wrote one | 01:13 |
mhall119 | but it mostly just killed off internet access after an alotted time | 01:13 |
mhall119 | there's others than add PAM hooks to prevent login, and another that will kill an X session after so many minutes | 01:15 |
mhall119 | Ahmuck: I'm going to be making new packages soon, I'm figuring out how to make a Qimo session, like a Gnome or XFCE session, so you can get to it from any user account | 01:41 |
sbalneav | evening all | 01:47 |
mhall119 | evening sbalneav | 01:49 |
sbalneav | Morning all | 14:54 |
jsgotangco | hi | 14:55 |
sbalneav | Hmmm, we should probably have a "lucid kickoff meeting" sometime soon | 16:21 |
sbalneav | Anybody see my post in edubuntu-{users|devel}? | 16:21 |
sbalneav | Here's what I think would make the most sense: | 16:22 |
sbalneav | With the exception of LTSP, almost everything "edubuntu-ish" should be "demoted" to universe. That way, the only real requirement to have an impact on Edubuntu would be having MOTU | 16:23 |
sbalneav | Then, with the edubuntu-dev ppa's, we can lower the barrier to entry even FURTHER. | 16:33 |
jbicha | I agree that universe makes sense for a good amount of what Edubuntu is working on | 16:44 |
jbicha | I have two online college classes starting today (Java and XML) so I'll be a bit stretched for the next 2 months :-( | 16:45 |
ogra | there wont be no universe anymore soon | 16:48 |
jbicha | ogra: what do you mean? | 16:57 |
ogra | the concept of main/universe will go away soon | 16:58 |
stgraber | archive reorganization | 16:58 |
stgraber | basically everything will be merged into a single component (or two with restricted ?) and upload rights will be handled by individual or team ACL | 16:58 |
ogra | switched over to team based maintenence ... so if you are in edubuntu-dev you are an edubuntu developer ... there wont be a distinction for main/universe any more | 16:58 |
jbicha | so more similar to how Debian works? | 16:59 |
ogra | well, there will be still a supported set for apps canonical offers support for ... but it wont be reflected in the archive components anymore | 16:59 |
sbalneav | Oh, excellent. | 17:02 |
sbalneav | So, that will lower the barrier to entry even further. | 17:02 |
sbalneav | So, then that leads me to ask the question: since I'm already "edubuntu-dev" should I BOTHER to jump through the hoops to become motu, or just wait for the reorg? | 17:03 |
ogra | you still need to gain upload privileges (e.g. MOTU today ... ) | 17:03 |
sbalneav | Ah, ok | 17:03 |
sbalneav | so being in edubuntu-dev doesn't grant upload privs automatically | 17:04 |
sbalneav | ok, I'll stay on my motu path then | 17:04 |
sbalneav | ogra: I merged tuxpaint on the weekend. | 17:05 |
ogra | oh | 17:05 |
ogra | can you push it somewhere ? i think i got it on my merge list on MoM | 17:05 |
ogra | so i'll happily sponsor | 17:06 |
ogra | GGRRRRRR | 17:07 |
* ogra starts getting annoyed by the ton of pointless ltsp bugs today | 17:07 | |
lilyshu | hi, is there any video/documents that i can use to promoting edubuntu in my campus? | 17:30 |
sbalneav | Asmo might have some on his site | 17:45 |
sbalneav | check the edubuntu-users mailing list | 17:45 |
sbalneav | ogra: Don't worry about the doco-bug, I'll take that on and add it to the upstream manual. | 17:45 |
ogra | sbalneav, it *is* covered ... he doesnt look | 17:46 |
ogra | *all* of the bugs he filed today are covered somewhere | 17:46 |
ogra | the cdrom bug could be turned into "add a ckech for the right media and spit out descriptive error" though | 17:47 |
sbalneav | I know the doc bug IS covered, but the docs are scattered. | 17:48 |
sbalneav | So if we merge them all into the master doc plan, that'll be easier. | 17:48 |
ogra | you cant | 17:48 |
ogra | you cant add the options to the manpage ... thats why the manpage of ltsp-build-client says we cant :P | 17:49 |
ogra | and points you to the --help command | 17:49 |
sbalneav | Why not? JUst have a section in the LTSPManual about the plugins? | 17:49 |
sbalneav | Off for lunch, bbian | 17:50 |
ogra | sbalneav, the prob is that they vary, you would need distro specific manpages | 17:50 |
ogra | sbalneav, we added "Not all options are available on all installations. For a complete list of available options, use the --help and --extra-help options." to the manpage for that reason ... | 17:57 |
ogra | sbalneav, i agree that the general plugin howto from /usr/share/doc should be in upstream though ... i adjusted the bug towards that | 17:58 |
* ogra calls it a day | 18:08 | |
highvoltage | ogra: are you back in .de? | 18:18 |
